This sudden trip to the South China Sea to watch the army was magnificent, and the mood before and after the awakening was also full of twists and turns. On the way there, I couldn't help but feel apprehensive in my heart, and when I arrived at the place where the dragon god paraded the army, I was shocked by the majesty and strength of the South China Sea naval army. If this is all there is, the impression left by this unexpected trip is nothing more than a magnificent fantasy full of minds. It's just that the last straightforward words of Meng Zhang, the Marquis of the South China Sea, made the calm and peaceful young man in the past feel like numbness.

Maintain a calm and calm attitude to say goodbye to the noble sea god, recommit to the turquoise waters, and sneak all the way to the northwest. On the surface, everything seems to be calm and normal, so normal that even the teenager himself almost thinks so. It's just that I don't know if the sea water is too cold and cold, Xingyan finally had to realize that his forehead was burning hot, there seemed to be something buzzing in his head, and the atrium in his chest couldn't help but beat "bang bang bang".

Such an abnormal situation did not gradually return to normal until it came ashore from the sea route and walked along the scattered Jiangnan Post Road for a long time.

Xingyan's expression just now was abnormal, and the two girls around him also felt it clearly, but they didn't know how to comfort their hall master. Xue Yi accompanied her, opened her mouth several times, and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say when the words came to her mouth, so she had to remain silent again. And Qiong Wei clearly felt that his cousin brother was not happy now, so he wanted to do something to make him happy.

It's just that in the past, she only had to do something she thought she should do, and she could make her brother laugh, although she never understood what was ridiculous about these normal things of hers, but now that the matter is coming, she wants to deliberately make her young brother happy, but she can't remember what to do. Unable to think of a good way, the little girl had to lean on her brother's side in a panic and accompany him all the way.

"Well, why bother me to make them sad. ”

After a trance, Xingyan suddenly felt that the two girls around him had become depressed, and he felt a little sorry in his heart. After thinking about it again, although the frank words of the South China Sea Water Marquis were ruthless and pointed directly at his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, he was also very reasonable. It's just that, although there is some heartache, there are some things that you have to face after all.

Thinking of this, after Xingyan secretly sighed in his heart, he returned to his usual normalcy and talked to Qiong Wei Xueyi lightly.

Going all the way like this, there was no longer any delay, and the three of them from the Sihaitang of the Shangqing Palace soon came to Yulin County, where they had only stayed two or three months ago. This time, according to the guidance of the old dragon god Yun Zhongjun, Xingyan specially went to find those villages that were arid and barren in the past, but now they have become rainy. I remember Lao Longjun's words of "beautiful mountains and green waters", and he said that he paid special attention to the villages in the mountains, ravines, ravines, and bumps. Of course, because of the incident in Yulin County last time, a few people were extra careful when they revisited their hometown.

With Long Jun's guidance, it didn't take long for such a cautious visit to have an eyebrow. After wandering in the poor countryside for more than ten days, one day drinking tea in a roadside tea shed and resting his feet, Xingyan occasionally heard a few foot merchants chatting about a strange thing. I heard one of the businessmen say that the boss who did business with him, a friend who was in the herbal medicine business, went to a mountain village a few months ago to buy Huoqi herbs to detoxify water poison, but he was surprised to find that the desolate village near the originally dry and desolate village had become green and beautiful, so that he thought he was in the wrong place at that time. And that time, the villager who went out of the village to sell herbs told him that all the stocks of Huoqi herbs in the village were sold to him, and there would be no more in the future.

This strange thing that sounded vague to the end, that is, these merchants casually said it when they drank tea and rested, but when they heard it, they immediately came to their senses, and quickly got up to laugh together, invited the tea money of the uncles of the merchants, and then inquired about it with them in detail. It's just that although those few traders felt his hospitality, they didn't know much about it, and after asking for a long time, they inquired about two more things: first, the village that suddenly became beautiful was in the southwest direction of about 300 miles away from here; second, the villagers were not Han Chinese, and they had always been fierce people, and it was said that they often killed people.

Although these words are terrible, they will naturally not take them to heart. After thanking a few tea-drinking uncles, he hurried to the southwest with Xue Yi Qiongwei. Along the way, the closer he got to the village, the more he heard. It turns out that the village, whose original name is Huoli Village, is located under Huolian Peak, and most of the remnants of the Jiuli nationality in the village have always had little contact with the outside world. Since the climate changed a few months ago, the village chief of the village went out of the village to consult the Han teacher in the nearby village, and changed the fire character in the name of the village to become Cuili Village.

And what is the saying of "often killing", according to the idle man who asked a certain question, it is also true, and those barbarian aliens kill people very strangely, every time a man and a woman are killed at intervals. Talking about this, the idler who likes to go to the village also kindly reminded him that he had better not go to Cuili Village to see the excitement, first, the village rarely allows outsiders to enter, and secondly, he heard the exact news from a friend, saying that now in Cuili Village, a woman has been found to kill, just wait for a man to come!

Of course, hearing this terrifying news, the Shangqing Hall Master, who was bent on completing the task of the sect earlier, would never stop because of such a strange tale. On the contrary, the more he heard such absurd rumors, the happier Xingyan became, because he intuitively felt that the lost water spirit would never be the same as ordinary people, and he would be most willing to find such a strange place to hide.

With such a clear goal, in less than two or three days, Xingyan, Xueyi, and Qiong Wei rushed through two or three hundred miles and approached the rumored Cuili Village. At this time, late autumn has passed, and the four fields are already full of winter scenery. The leaves of the trees had long since fallen off beside the dirt roads in the countryside where they walked, except for the occasional scorched yellow leaf or two still hanging on the branches, curled up on the branches. Compared to the bare branches and trunks, the reddish-brown blades of the grass still flourished and rustled in the cold wind, and it seemed that for them, from midsummer to severe winter, it was only the color of their blades that changed.

After walking carefully, the sun moved unconsciously to the west from the top of his head, and suddenly, the young man who was walking silently suddenly heard a faint sigh in the bushes and grass on the side of the road in front of him, and then he felt that a figure flashed and disappeared.

"Whoa, it's two"

Xingyan judged for a moment, determined the number of people, and wondered: "Could it be that there are road robbers?" Or are those rumors true, and the people of Cuili Village really want to find a man to kill?"

Thinking of this, he also became a little nervous. Seeing where the figure had disappeared, about a dozen feet away, he quietly made a gesture to settle down the two companions, who were obviously also aware of the abnormality, and still pretended not to be aware of it, and continued to walk forward.

"There are no traps. ”

After making this judgment, when he was still about five or six feet away from the dark shadow's hiding place, Xingyan suddenly jumped up and flew like a lightning bolt towards the place where the two figures were hiding.

"Don't kill me!"

Suddenly, seeing that the blade of the sword was pointed in front of the tip of his nose, the young man who was secretly hiding was shocked, and his face suddenly turned pale. And the woman beside him was even more frightened and sat on the ground, unable to move at all.

"Uh, ...... you guys?"

Seeing their casual appearance, Xingyan immediately put away his sword, jumped a few steps back and asked, "Aren't you bandits?"

At this time, Xue Yi Qiongwei had also rushed over, standing beside him, and looked at the two frightened men and women strangely.

Hearing Xingyan ask like this, it took a long time for the man to come back to his senses, but he didn't answer Xingyan's question, he just kowtowed there like pounding garlic, and shouted spare his life in his mouth, saying "two loves" and "don't kill us" Yunyun. Seeing this, Xingyan was inexplicable, so he had to repeatedly explain to them that he was not a bad person who liked to kill, and after a lot of saliva found that it was not very effective, Xingyan had an idea, and pulled Minglong's cute little Qiongwei to show them to him, which made these two frightened couples slowly calm down.

It's just that although their expressions seem to be back to normal, the next two couples desperately talked to Xingyan about their past affairs, showing how the two really love each other. Seeing their true feelings revealed, he was very emotional, and he couldn't bear to interrupt them, but after waiting patiently for a while, to see the sun gradually moving westward, he apologized to interrupt the two of them, telling them that he was just a passing foreign traveler, and was going to go to that Cuili village to enjoy the fresh scenery—as soon as he heard this, the two chattering male and female couples suddenly stopped talking for some reason, and their expressions became a little embarrassed.

Seeing that this misunderstanding had been cleared up, and the awakening words would no longer disturb him, he sincerely blessed a few words and prepared to leave. But the man who had just been frightened saw that the young man's words were sincere, and his face showed some hesitation. When Xingyan walked out of Shuwu, he heard the man just now shouting behind him.

"Childe, please stay!"

"Hmm, what's the matter with the two of you?"

Xingyan turned around when he heard this, and saw the two people standing in the distance looking at him, and the man, hesitating for a moment, said to him, "This son, and two young ladies, are you going to Cuili Village?"

"Yes! It's the one that was originally called Huoli Village. ”

"Oh. There is a word, I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

Seeing that this man's words were elegant, he replied with a clear speech: "There is nothing to say to people, if you have any questions, please feel free to speak!"

After thinking about it, he added: "Besides, you also told us a lot of intimate things just now. ”

Hearing this, the man's face turned slightly red, and he asked bluntly: "Then forgive me for being rude, may I ask the son and these two young ladies, do they have a marriage contract?"

“...... There is no marriage contract!"

"Ahh ”

"Oh?

As soon as he heard that it was related to Cuili Village, Xingyan suddenly became interested and asked him eagerly. I only heard the man say: "That's the case, the prince doesn't know, that Cuili Village is a people outside Hua, and they have always refused to obey the king, and they have a bad custom handed down by their ancestors, saying that all young men and women who do not have a marriage contract are not allowed to be alone, and if there is a violation, they will be killed!"

Hearing this, Xue Yiqiong and the two daughters both exclaimed in small surprises, and the woman opposite was also silent, with a frightened look. I heard the man continue to say angrily: "What's even more infuriating is that such unreasonable village rules are not only used in their clan, but even the outsiders who go to their cottage to play. The younger brother was unlucky, and he didn't know this bad rule at first, and like the son, he heard that Nacuili Village had changed before and after, so he took the maid to see a new one. Who knows, I haven't entered the gate yet......"

Speaking of this, the unlucky boy pointed to his robe and clothes stained with dirt and grass leaves, and smiled wryly. It was only at this time that Xingyan noticed that although the man in front of him was untidy, his robe was of good quality and should be a rich son. The woman beside him was cowering, her skirt was plain, and she was dressed like a maid.

After listening to the words of this fallen son, Xingyan thought about it for a while, then hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your advice, the younger brother knows it." ”

After saying that, he took out a paper talisman from his arms, handed it to the man in front of him, and said: "Little brother is not talented, he has also learned Taoism for a few days, this talisman will be given to you; ”

"Ahh

This young master who was in distress, seeing that Xingyan's attitude was calm and polite, not like a false person, he quickly took the paper note and went with a thousand thanks.

After this turmoil, the sun has gradually set in the western mountains. Seeing that it was not early, Xingyan beckoned Qiong Wei Xueyi, cast a spell, walked like the wind in a secluded place, and came to Cuili Village outside in a short time.

Before arriving at Dezhai, Xingyan found that this village was different from other villages. The village is surrounded by high stone walls that isolate the inside of the village and cannot be seen from the outside. Skimming over the walled wall and looking into the distance, you can see the majestic mountains and continuous.

"There is really something wrong with this Cuili Village. ”

Looking up at the grass on the top of the wall, which could not be swayed in the winter wind, he felt that there was something strange about this place. Perhaps, the Feiyunding Water Spirit, which took a lot of time and manpower in the Qing Palace, was really hiding here.

While he was looking around, he suddenly heard a shout of human voices, and when he looked up, he saw a group of strong men dancing with knives and sticks, rushing towards this direction!

"They're sharp-eyed!"

At this time, the place where Xingyan stood was also hidden, and it was actually seen by those villagers so quickly. Looking at the murderous posture of the dozen or so people, it seems that the news heard by this statement is not completely false. However, in such a scene, there are only a dozen powerful and reckless men, how can they be afraid of Xingyan? If the cultivator can be easily defeated by the brute force reckless man, then why should he cultivate the Tao and practice spells. Therefore, when the dozen or so people came to the front, Xingyan didn't even draw his sword, but just hugged his fist and bowed his hand, and greeted them politely: "So that the eldest brother knows that the younger brother is not a villain, but he has heard the rumors from all over the village and county, saying that the scenery of your village is excellent, so he wants to come to your village to see the beautiful scenery of Bilianzhang, and there is no other malicious intent." ”

Hearing what he said, and seeing his neat attitude, the villagers of Cuili Village, who had been coming violently, muttered for a while. Listening to Xingyan's words just now, he admired the current scenery of their village very much, and there were several villagers among them, who relaxed their originally tense skin. It's just that the strong man who was the leader of the village was still vigilant, and looked the three of them up and down with a big stick in his hand, and after looking at it for a while, he asked viciously: "You Han people, aren't you eloping men and women?!"

This half-incomprehensible question came from his mouth, and his voice was hard and hard, and the tone was strange, and it took him a long time to distinguish before he could roughly understand what it meant. So Xingyan hurriedly hesitated and shyly, and only after a little embarrassment replied: "Don't tell the eldest brother, this young lady has a marriage contract with me, and she is my wife who has not passed the door." ”

At this time, the person he was referring to was Xue Yi. Thinking of the news needed for the detective master, Xue Yi would not blame him for this little expediency-in fact, the cold woman did not refute, but her face reflected the glow of the sky, and became a little red. is so shy, it's really like an unmarried lady who hasn't been through the door. Seeing this, the strong man nodded and asked, "What about this one?"

At this time, his eyes swept over Xue Yi and stayed on Qiong Wei's face.

"Uh, this one, it's my ......"

"Child daughter-in-law!"

“？！”

- As soon as the word "sister" came to his mouth, the little girl preemptively answered for him!

"Oh! That's it!"

At this time, almost all of them spoke in unison—how could such an innocent, cute-looking little girl tell a lie? At this point, all the people of Cuili Village present had all their doubts, and they all put down their instruments and looked at these foreign tourists with a smile. At this time, Xingyan was a little crying and laughing. looked at the little girl with a happy face, and he knew that she was not lying, because everything he said, including jokes, Qiong Wei believed it as facts!

"Well, I'll find a spare time later and explain it to her. If it goes on like this, I don't know how many jokes will be made. ”

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sentence in Chinese that was full of words: "Friends come from afar, are you happy?"

"Huh?"

Xingyan saw someone reciting the words of the sages, and quickly raised his eyes to see a thin old man with a wrinkled face, who was walking slowly from the gate of the village with a cane.

"It's the patriarch here!"

Seeing this old man coming, these Zhuang Ding immediately flashed to both sides, and watched their patriarch walk in front of these strangers with reverence.

"A few distinguished guests, it is our honor to come to my Cuili Village to enjoy the scenery. ”

"Where, where!"

Xingyan was about to be humble, but he heard the obviously respected Jiuli patriarch stroke his beard and smiled: "However, according to the rules of the village, even if this young man and woman from a foreign country has a marriage contract, if they are not officially married, they are not allowed to enter without their parents accompanying them!"

"Huh?!"

Xingyan was anxious when he heard this, and said in his heart: "There are really a lot of strange rules of the Jiuli clan! That's it, I can't enter this main gate, so I have to wait patiently until it gets dark and then go in!"

Thinking of this, my heart is a little fixed, and I want to justify a few words casually. Unexpectedly, the old patriarch twisted his beard and said happily: "Little brother, don't worry, I see a few people with divine light on their heads, which is very suitable for the feng shui of my village." This time, I made an exception and let a few people go into the village to play first. ”

"Ah, that's great! Thank you, Patriarch!"

Xingyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to thank him a few words, but he heard the old man add another sentence: "But this rule still has to be observed." The day after tomorrow, it happens that several men and women in this village will get married, and you will visit the church together and make up for it. In this way, we must not break the rules of our clan—those are the sacred rules that have been passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years!"

With that, he turned around and walked towards the tall village gate without looking back.

“......”

The stunned boy paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and hurried forward.

At this time, the burning clouds on the horizon were as gorgeous as brocade, and they were as bright as the faces of the two young men on the ground. In front of them, the door of Jiuli Village, which had not been opened for foreigners for a long time, also opened at that moment.

Chapter 13 The red candle is like an explanation, whispering until dawn

When the old and ancient wooden door of Lizhai opened in front of him, the hall master of the four seas knew that he had come to the right place this time.

It was already early winter, and the weather was relatively dry, but when the two huge wooden doors opened in front of him, the Sihai Hall Master, who had a keen qi, only felt a majestic breath of water.

"That's pretty much it. ”

Feel it carefully, this aura is so pure and mellow, and it can only be conceived in the blessed earth. As soon as I stepped into the gate, I woke up and saw that the village of Cuili was lush and green, and the green mixed with the grass and liao of the houses almost made people forget that it was winter. But only after a cursory glance, the vision is very suspicious. Looking around, I saw that the mountains in the distance were treacherous, and the ditches and ridges near were chaotic, looking like remnants of mountains and waters, and it was impossible to gather such a huge spiritual opportunity.

Aware of this situation, Xingyan couldn't help but say in his heart: "Water Spirit Daoyou, I'm here!"

When I arrived in the village and walked through some ditches and bumps, I could see the whole picture of this Cuili village dwelling. Originally, the Jiuli relics lived next to the mountains, surrounded by rolling hills to the south. Listening to the old patriarch, that is Bilianzhang. In the hills and ravines that wind north of Bilian Ridge, the Jiuli people in the village have found a flat floor and built all kinds of domed thatched houses, which look like boats at a glance.

Walking past some dense thatched huts crowded together, it didn't take long for me to see a large pond. At the foot of the mountain, the water is clear and blue, the water surface is rippling, and the embankment is slightly circular in the shape of a disc, and many willow trees are planted on it. Now the branches of these willows still have some cyan on them.

suddenly saw this water pool in the Li family's cottage, and Xingyan couldn't help but watch it carefully for a while. Seeing that he lingered and forgot to go, the old patriarch was also quite proud, and told him that this pond was called "Bishui Pool", which was the first scene of their Li family's new village.

"Good name!"

After listening to the patriarch's words, he praised it casually, but he still looked at the lake scenery carefully. To find the hiding place of the water spirit, this pond is the most suspicious. However, after a closer inspection, I found that this pond is also normal. When he raised his feet and continued to move forward, Xingyan quietly glanced at Qiong Wei, and shook his head gently when he saw her.

"Is this little friend tired?"

I didn't expect the old patriarch to have such good eyesight, and Xiao Qiongwei's slight movement did not escape his eyes. Hearing his question, he had to nod his head and say yes. So the old patriarch confessed and took them to a cottage on the west side of the pond. Waiting for Xingyan to follow him to the front of this hospitality cottage, he looked up, but he was suddenly stunned: "Yixue Hall?"

It turned out that under the eaves of the dome grass liao, there was a wooden plaque hanging on it, on which the words "Yixuetang" were written, and the words were quite new. Seeing him look so surprised, this time the old patriarch didn't ask much, just looked gloomy, sighed, and muttered: "This Yixue Hall is my granddaughter-in-law's original residence...... Settle down for now. ”

For some reason, the old man, who was originally full of interest, became a little sullen when he saw the word Yixuetang, and then only said a few words of hospitality casually, then said goodbye and turned away.

"Whew~"

When the chaotic footsteps outside the house gradually faded away, Xingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, this mysterious deep mountain village here finally allowed itself to be mixed in openly. The so-called "can't get up to speed", Xingyan intuitively felt that this alien cottage was not simple, so he decided to settle down honestly first. Therefore, when the old village chief brought the farmer's dinner, after eating until the moment of the lamplight, Xingyan and Qiong Wei Xueyi did not go out, but just chatted in the grass house. Not long after, I heard the sound of the night in the mountain village. Seeing that the night was dark, Xingyan asked Xue Yi to take Qiong Wei to rest in the inner room, and he looked around the house to find out that there was nothing unusual, so he laid a few peace charms, and then fell asleep on the wooden bed in the outhouse. Fortunately, although this mountain village cottage seems to have been uninhabited for a long time, the bed is neat and tidy, as if it is often taken care of, so the two delicate girls in the hall are not used to sleeping for a while.

This night, I slept peacefully. In the ears of the awakening words, at most I can hear the howling of the mountain wind at night, and there is nothing else unusual.

It's just that just when the three of them were sleeping peacefully, there were some strange changes on a certain hillside on the edge of the deep mountain and old forest in the distance. If the Lord of the Four Seas Hall got up at this time, he would definitely be able to see that on the dark mountain in the extreme distance, at the midnight handover, an almost transparent blue light suddenly swayed leisurely, floating in the bleak night. If you look at it at this time, you will find that the light and shadow that are like nothing, except for the different colors and light color, the other light and transparent fluttering conditions are very similar to the light and shadow of the "Dao Soul" he saw in front of the Thousand Bird Cliff in Luofu Mountain.

However, at this time, the light group was not as leisurely as those Dao souls in Luofu Mountain. If you look closely, you will find that the dim light like fireflies is trying to fly in the direction of the Shuixi Thatched Cottage where Xingyan lives, but it seems to be blocked by something, and it drifts back and forth for a while, and in the end it still does not break free from the shackles in the dark, and slowly drifts farther and farther away, until it disappears and disappears.

Of course, the sleeping boy didn't know this. When I got up the next day, Xingyan and Xue Yiqiongwei went to the lake to wash their faces, and asked each other, and they all felt that they slept very sweetly last night, and when they got up early in the morning, they only felt refreshed. When he was comfortable, Xingyan couldn't help but praise: "This mountain village is really different!"

Breathing in the cool smell of the morning in the mountains, and looking at the white mist that permeated the ridge of the hillside in the distance, the boy who grew up in the mountain village only felt as if he had returned to his hometown.

Gossip aside, this day Xingyan took Qiong Wei Xueyi to wander around the village. When walking through the ditches and alleys, Xingyan asked Qiong Weixue to pay attention to everything, and try her best to cover up her qi to avoid alarming the water elves. Xingyan himself is a playful teenager who has no scheming, and he clings to the scabbard when he walks, looking no different from those who boast of pretending to be the children of the township party.

I wandered around like this for a day, and when dusk fell, the three of them still found nothing. In addition to seeing that the trees planted in the village all showed a green appearance that did not match the season, those water qi inspirations that could best reveal the traces of the water spirit, but they had been like nothing, flickering and flickering, and they had been busy all day.

As he spoke, the sun set on the western mountain, and the sky above him was the same as yesterday, full of incomparably brilliant clouds. It's a little strange to say, although Xingyan took two girls and walked through a lot of famous mountains and rivers this year, but it is really rare to come to such a brilliant rainbow in the evening. Now those burning clouds all over the sky are so gorgeous and warm, so that Xingyan and the two daughters stopped together, stood on the east side of the blue water pool, and looked up at the west sky. After another moment, the neon glow did not fade and darken, but it became more intense, red light in all directions, surging towards the sky here, as if a monstrous fire was burning in the heavenly palace, and it was about to burn the whole sky through.

"It's beautiful!"

It is rare to see such a beautiful and colorful sunset, and I can't help but praise it when I look at it for a while. It's just that just as he was applauding him, he suddenly heard someone behind him snort coldly: "Hmph!"

Xingyan was surprised when he heard this, and quickly withdrew his gaze from the burning clouds, and turned to look behind him—this sight startled him a lot! It turned out that before he knew it, many strangely dressed villagers were surrounded behind him, and some of them were glaring at him, while many others were staring at the fiery sunset with frightened expressions on their faces.

"Huh?"

Seeing that those frightened and angry expressions did not seem to be fake, Xingyan was very surprised in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but he heard a long sigh beside him. Xingyan followed the prestige, and saw the thin old patriarch, squinting his small eyes, and his face was full of sorrow. Seeing him like this, Xingyan's heart moved, and he asked, "May I ask Elder Su Li, what happened in this village?"

On this day, he already knew that the old patriarch was called "Su Li Lao", and he was the oldest man in the village, and it was said that he was more than 100 years old. Hearing his question, Su Li Lao sighed again, and then made a gesture of his hand and called him aside.

"Don't tell the little brother that a big disaster is coming to our village!"

The sentence of splitting his head and covering his face immediately startled Xingyan, and he hurriedly asked what was going on. I only heard the old Su Li say bitterly: "Alas, if the little brother reads the history books, he will also know that the people of my Jiuli are the abandoned people of heaven; ”

"I think my little brother has also heard that my Cuili Village was originally called Huoli Village, not only because we are the Huoli lineage of the Jiuli tribe, but also because in the village under the Huolianfeng, it has been as hot as fire for thousands of years, and no wood grows; And the drinking water, because of the fire Li Zhai cursed by God, there has always been no rain, and there is no river well in the village, only a stone pit, which can only rely on the occasional dew in the cracks of the stone pit, for the old and young in the village to suck and prolong their lives. ”

Speaking of this, he probably recalled the miserable and difficult years for many years, this old Su Li, who was originally very quiet, was already full of fear, and the pupils in his eyes were constricted, as if he had encountered an evil ghost.

Hearing this, Xingyan couldn't help but sigh a little. When Su Li Lao was silent, he suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't help but ask: "Then since the mountains and rivers here are treacherous, why don't you move away from the village? ”

"Alas!"

Hearing Xingyan say this, Elder Su Li sighed heavily and said slowly: "Son, you are kind-hearted, but our ancestors have thought of this method for generations. But to this day, our Huoli clan is still nested in the ditch under this Huolian Peak, and we are not allowed to go out. All of this is because the ancestors created sins and were cursed by God. Before the situation in the village improved a few months ago, the warriors who went out to survey the village in the past generations had already ......"

Speaking of this, Su Lilao's words became a little choked. As soon as Xingyan saw this expression, he knew the fate of those Huoli people who came out of the village. I wanted to open my mouth to comfort, but I saw that the old patriarch of Huoli smiled miserably: "Ho, I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I have seen it for more than a hundred years, and now I finally understand that since we are a cursed race of heaven, we must ...... in the deserted land."

Seeing his miserable expression, Xingyan quickly changed the topic: "Then dare to ask Su Lilao, isn't your village now a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers? Why do you still say that a catastrophe is coming?"

"Alas!"

Hearing the words, Su Li Lao sighed again, put the cane in his hand on the ground and paused and said, "Don't you know, the current prosperity of the village is actually to help people. It's okay not to mention it......"

When I heard the words and heard him say "don't mention it", I couldn't help but feel anxious. Because this Huoli Village has the help of people, nine times out of ten, this person is the water spirit of Shangqing. It's just that I was eager to know in my heart, but when I saw the desolate look of the old man, the words of the awakening came to my mouth and shrank back. I only heard that Su Li Lao continued: "You Han people still say it well, 'Fortune and fortune are relied on, and fortune and misfortune are lurking', I thought it was a blessing to help people, but who knew that it was a disaster star! The old man is old and old, and he can occasionally psychic according to the witchcraft in the clan. Some time ago, I received a warning from the heavens, saying that the curse of my clan could be removed in a year or two, but now that I am forced to break it, the gods will be angry, and they will send heavenly calamity to show punishment——"

Speaking of this, Su Li Lao was already beating his chest and remorseful: "You see those fiery clouds, they are the warning of heaven before the catastrophe, if we do not do the will of God, then this heavenly curse will come soon!"

Speaking of this, Su Lilao, who had been full of sorrow, suddenly leaned down tremblingly with a quinoa staff, bowed down in front of Xingyan, and prayed sincerely: "Please save the three nobles of my family!"

"What are you?"

Xingyan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up. At this time, the old face of this clan was already full of old tears, and he couldn't cry. At that moment, he didn't say much, and hurriedly helped him to the nearby Yixue Hall, and waited for him to calm down before asking the reason. It's just that this question made him and Xue Yi blush. It turned out that the rescue that Su Li Lao said was to ask him to marry Xue Yi and Qiong Wei tomorrow, and accumulate blessings and joy according to God's instructions!

According to the old man Su Li, Xingyan and Xue Yiqiongwei are all "full of divine light, bright and terrifying", if they can worship in the village, they can be worthy of more than ten or twenty couples of the Jiuli tribe!

Hearing the sad old man beg like this, Xingyan was suddenly full of embarrassment. Originally, I thought that this marriage was like this, but yesterday it was mixed up like this, and this old patriarch would not take it seriously; who knew that today, the matter of visiting the church and getting married has become a matter of relieving the suffering! No matter what, this matter was too sudden for him and the two girls. But looking at the current situation, it is really difficult to refuse.

"Is there really such a thing as a dream?"

Xingyan looked at the old patriarch in front of him, who was good at channeling, and hesitated. After thinking about it for a long time, he cautiously explained to the old man, saying that he was a Han and the most important etiquette. Now the three of them only have a marriage contract, and their parents are not around, so it is not appropriate to rush things no matter what-

was explaining in detail, but he didn't expect that Su Li Lao saw that he had the intention of shirking, so he knelt on the ground again, and refused to get up when he died. As a result, he was helpless, and Xingyan had to reluctantly agree, promising to follow his wishes, and tomorrow he would perform the ceremony of worshipping in the village. So listening to his relent, Su Lilao, who was prostrate on the ground, immediately got up, smiled with his eyebrows, and thanked Xingyan without a word. Seeing him like this, Xingyan couldn't cry or laugh.

After such a big event was decided, Su Lilao was in a slightly happy mood, so he gossiped with Xingyan Xue Yi and the others for a while. From these words, Xingyan knew that their words of killing men and women in the Huoli tribe were not false. It turned out that the Huoli people were very strange, before this place became beautiful, the man left the village, either died sideways, or died violently, but the woman left the village without any incident. Therefore, in previous years, many women of the Li family escaped from the village and married foreign young people. In this way, there are fewer people in the clan to give birth to offspring, and this Huoli clan will really face the disaster of extinction. Therefore, this strict custom was slowly formed in the clan, not only the women in the village who eloped with the Han people were killed, but even the single men and women who passed by, if they were unmarried and strayed into the cottage, they were all executed as adulterers and adulteresses. Therefore, according to Su Lilao, the two girls who had been married to him just now asked Xingyan to come with him to visit the church and get married, not only to help accumulate blessings in the village, but also to ensure that the sacred rules in the village for hundreds of years were not broken.

Hearing him say this, Xingyan looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. After casually agreeing a few times, he sent the thin Su Li elder out of the house. When night fell, Xingyan found that there were many more sounds of footsteps walking back and forth outside the Yixue grass house. It seems that the people in the village should have come to the house to monitor because they were afraid that they would retreat and slip away halfway.

Aware of this situation, Xingyan had no choice but to smile bitterly, and talked to Xue Yi and Qiong Wei about tomorrow's visit, which was quite apologetic. Imitating Qiong Wei's tone, Xingyan blushed and told them that tomorrow was just "pretending", and asked them not to be angry about his abrupt promise. Xingyan spoke so carefully, because the etiquette was really important at that time, and this worship was not child's play, although this time it was just a false story, but accidentally spreading it would damage the girl's family's reputation after all. So after he finished speaking, he cautiously looked at the reaction of the second daughter in front of him.

"It doesn't matter. ”

The first to speak was Xiao Qiongwei. At this time, the lively little girl has become very calm: "Anyway, Qiong Wei is my brother's child daughter-in-law, and she always has to visit the church to get married." Tomorrow is tomorrow, I'm free!"

“......”

Seeing the little girl like this, she was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to agree; she was stunned for a moment, and then turned her face to look at Xue Yi, but saw that the pretty woman who was like a plum blossom had already lowered her head, and she was stunned in the flickering candle shadow for a long time before she burst out with a sentence: "But according to the instructions of the hall master......"

"Uh......"

When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, because he felt that these words, which were as thin as mosquitoes, seemed familiar.

Gossip aside, no matter what, the Chapel of the Four Seas Hall for emergency relief and relief was finally held as scheduled on the evening of the second day.

In order to thank him for his friendship, Su Lilao, the most respected patriarch in this village, did not go to preside over the weddings of several other pairs of young men and women in the village, but specially rushed to Yixue Thatched Hall to preside over the wedding for these well-wishers from other towns. At this time, although the winter night is cold and the wind is whistling outside, but in the thatched hall, there is a high fever of red candles, and the spring is melting, and the red brocade is wrapped all around, and the flowers are arranged in general. It seems that since this Huoli village has become Cuili Village, the people are rich in dwellings and can communicate with the outside world, so under the special instructions of the patriarch, this color hall is extremely magnificently arranged.

At this time, about the middle of the hour, the famous people in the village have arrived, and it is the gathering of people, and the people in this main hall are noisy and lively. The inner hall separated by a wall is rehung by Luo Wei, and the curtains are stacked, and under the light and shadow of the red candles, it is like a glow falling to the ground and leaving a room. Qiong Wei and Xue Yi asked those old mothers to help with makeup in the inner hall at this moment.

It was as if in a dream, and in a short time the two girls came out dressed and led to the hall by the two village women. The bridegroom who was about to "marry" them was already wearing a hat and a red robe, standing in the middle of the wedding hall at a loss. These two fluttering girls, step by step, followed the bridesmaids to the front of Xingyan, and then under the guidance of the Xi Po next to them, according to the folk wedding ceremony, worship and prostrate, one worship heaven and earth, two worship high hall, and then husband and wife worship, and finally "salute" - of course, at this time, the parents of Xingyan Gao Tang are not here, so they worship heaven and earth twice, and then worship each other, even if the ceremony is completed.

After Su Lilao's loud "Licheng" shout, Qiong Wei Xueyi, who was covered with a red hood, was like stepping on a cotton cloud, and was led into the cave room by the bridesmaids in a trance, dragged to sit at the red lacquer table, and patiently waited for the groom to arrive. At this time, the groom and young man, who was also dizzy, entered the wedding banquet according to the guidance of Su Lilao, and exchanged cups with those respected clan elders in the village to accept their blessings. After making trouble like this for more than half an hour, Su Li said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the newcomer is in a hurry", and this very hot feast is over.

Waiting for the old patriarch to give an order, the noisy and very happy hall suddenly dispersed, and everyone left the hall one after another. When the last person exited the room and closed the door from the outside, only Xingyan was left in this festive color hall. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, the drunken young man staggered to the inner hall. Next, according to the pre-teaching of the old Su Li, he should go to the bride's hijab, and then go to the cave together-of course, such a procedure, there is no need for the old man to teach, but three or four years ago, Xingyan was still the little boy who shuttled through the middle of the wedding feast, and these marriage etiquette was naturally clear to him.

Besides, when Xingyan came to the inner hall in a daze, he saw a red sandalwood lacquer table in the red and colorful brocade of the house, and the two girls were wearing beautiful clothes, sitting there quietly waiting for him to arrive. Seeing such a situation in the room, Xingyan laughed: "Ha~ Covered with such a large piece of red satin, it must be boring, right?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, trying to tell them to take off their hijabs themselves. Who knew that at this time, I suddenly saw the little girl sitting quietly, and when she heard that she was coming, she raised her little hand and quietly lifted a corner of her hijab, and said with a serious expression under the red silk: "Brother, after a while, after removing Sister Xue Yi's hijab, don't forget that there is Qiong Wei!"

When Xiao Qiongwei finished speaking, he suddenly realized what he said, and listened to the outside of the room, so he stepped over and gently removed the head of the woman sitting at the table - I saw that under the candle shadow shaking red, it was the bright and charming, beautiful as jade, and the snow plum soul with clear and jade was burning with powder, and it was gorgeous.

Under the red candle, in front of the painting hall, the fragrant and beautiful demeanor of the thousand-year-old plum soul, as if speaking, as if telling the young man in front of him, is willing to exchange his thousand-year-old practice for a hundred years of practice, accompanied by a pair of red candles in front of him, a pair of thrushes before the change of hall, and a pair of worship thrushes in front of the hall, so that he will stay with each other in this life, and he will accompany each other in a lifetime......

Exactly: the golden buds smoke the dawn, the blue wind crosses the cold pond, the fragrant and warm golden furnace is full of wine, and the spring dream of Yutang is long.

The sound of the snow flute is dissipated, the flower shadow passes through the east wall, and the dawn moon reflects the painting hall, and a curtain of plum snow light.
