We are engaged in scientific research in the ancient martial arts world

On the morning of the weekend, Wang Qingyang drove the sweaty BMW 530 he got from his mother to the school to pick up Li Yu. After the two came out of the school, they bought some snacks and happy water and started heading to the villages on the lower reaches of the Jialing River dozens of kilometers away. Set off in the direction.

Because the roads in Chongqing were too complicated, and Wang Pang was an "intern" veteran driver, the two of them took a long detour before leaving the city. It wasn't until the afternoon that the two finally arrived at Aunt Wang Qingyang's village. It was indeed a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. From a distance, you could see the Jialing River flowing into the distance on the edge of the village. The sweaty BMW drove slowly into the village, and soon arrived outside the yard of Aunt Wang Qingyang's house. Aunt Wang Qingyang's house was a small two-story building with a small yard outside. Some small green vegetables and a few ducks running around. This kind of rural pastoral life made Li Yu feel relaxed and happy after seeing it. The feeling of depression that comes from staying in the city for a long time is gone. The two of them did not immediately go looking for the dilapidated Earth Temple and River Temple on the riverside outside the village. The two planned to stay one night at their aunt's house and go to worship early tomorrow morning. After the worship, they would drive back to school.

In this way, after the two parked their sweaty BMW, they slowly walked into the yard of their aunt's house. Wang Qingyang’s aunt lives alone. According to Wang Pang, her aunt had a childhood sweetheart man in the village many years ago. However, later her aunt went to work in Chongqing, but the man was unwilling to leave the small village and stayed in the small village. In the village, he became a doctor at the village health center, treating diseases and other diseases for the villagers. The courtyard where my aunt now lives is a two-story building that the man built many years ago. He just wanted to wait for my aunt to come back and marry her as his mother-in-law. As a result, the man waited for more than 20 years. It was not until his aunt retired from work that she returned to the village. Li Yu was also surprised by what happened to Fatty Wang, but Wang Fat didn't say anything about what happened next, so Li Yu didn't ask.

When the two entered the small building, they saw a middle-aged woman playing with dried chili peppers on the table in the hall. As soon as Wang Qingyang saw this person, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Auntie, I'm here to see you again!" The middle-aged woman did not raise her head or speak, she just nodded slowly.

"Well, hello, auntie, I'm Wang Qingyang's college classmate. I came here with him to play. I'm sorry to bother you." "Well, the tea is in the pot. If you're thirsty, just pour it yourself. There's still some time before dinner. Just walk around by yourself, don't go too far, don't go to the river to play in the water." "I know, Auntie! Lao Li and I... um, classmate Li and I are just walking around the village, not going anywhere. Go." The middle-aged woman nodded slightly and ignored the two of them.

After a while, Fatty Wang took Li Yu for a walk in the village. As he walked, Fatty Wang said to Li Yu: "The people here are very nice and kind. The village is also very quiet and safe. Every household in their village Basically, the courtyard door is not closed at night, and no one goes to steal chickens or ducks." "That's beyond my expectation. It's not like us city dwellers. Two people have eight hundred tricks in total. The person in the dormitory next door They all come here to steal shampoo," Li Yu replied. "No, don't talk about shampoo. The toilet paper is gone in two days. I don't know who is so wicked that he even steals toilet paper." The two of them just walked and chatted. With.

When they were about to reach the entrance of the village, they suddenly heard an old voice coming from the right: "Boy Wang, come back to see your aunt." Wang Qingyang and Li Yu turned around at the same time and saw a man sitting at the entrance of the canteen on the right side of the village entrance. An old lady with a short stature and a gaunt face. As soon as he saw this person, Wang Qingyang said: "Hey, Sixth Grandma, are you well? Yes, my classmates and I will come here to breathe fresh air on the weekend and visit my aunt by the way!" "Haha, young people are interested. "What's so good about a big city? It's good to come back to the village more often and breathe fresh air. Our place is full of outstanding people and beautiful mountains and rivers. It's much better than the cement and steel bars in the city." Wang Qingyang scratched his head and quickly replied: " Yes, yes, you are always right, the air in the city is too bad and the fog is heavy, it is far worse than here!"

The old lady nodded slightly, agreeing with Fatty Wang's view, and said again: "You, please come back more often to accompany your aunt. She went out to wander alone, and then came back here alone. She doesn't It's easy." Hearing this, Li Yu frowned and interjected: "Sixth wife, isn't Fatty Wang's aunt back with her childhood sweetheart, the doctor? Why are she alone." Fatty Wang heard this Li Yu's words immediately glared at him. Li Yu didn't know why.

Then the old lady slowly said: "Young man, you are Wang's classmate, hasn't he finished telling you about his aunt?" Wang Qingyang scratched his head and said: "I don't know what happened next. Ah, my mother didn’t tell me. I haven’t seen that doctor anyway, so I didn’t ask.”

The old lady looked at Wang Qingyang, nodded and said: "Your aunt, when she retired and returned to the village, the doctor was indeed here waiting for her to come back. The two of them also lived here together for a long time, but the doctor behind him A doctor got sick, and your aunt took care of him in the next few years. Later, the doctor disappeared. People in the village said that the doctor must have left. After all, in the next few years, he basically I'm bedridden, and your aunt has been busy all the time."

The two of them were also surprised after hearing what the old lady said. Why does it feel weird? The two of them were not married together, and they didn't want children when they were together. Then they got sick. With Fatty Wang's family, the doctor should be able to go to the city with his aunt to find a better hospital for treatment. Why have they been so long? In the village.

Li Yu patted Wang Qingyang on the shoulder and said in his ear: "It's a bit strange. Your aunt is not a poor person. After working hard for so many years, why did she only take care of her lover in the village instead of taking him to the city? Where is the hospital?" Wang Qingyang was also confused, because he knew that his aunt must have made a lot of money after working in Chongqing for so many years, when she was still in Chongqing. My aunts all drive big Bens. "During dinner in the evening, I went to ask my aunt to see what was going on. In the past, I only listened to my mother. After all, she was my father's eldest sister. My mother knew very vaguely, but my father used to have someone in the company. It's difficult. My aunt generously donated money to help my dad's company overcome a big difficulty, so after my aunt retired, my mother also asked me to come over often to visit her. After all, she is here alone." Li Yu clicked Nod "Yeah"

In this way, the two of them had nothing to do in the afternoon. They wandered around the village twice and then walked back to the aunt's yard. As soon as the two entered the yard, they smelled a pungent smell of chili pepper. Fatty Wang took a deep breath and said with an intoxicated look on his face: "Yeah! That's the smell, Lao Li, you're in for a treat! My aunt made it." Spicy chicken, the taste is amazing!" Li Yu couldn't help but swallowed when he heard this.

Dinner was very simple, a large bowl of farm spicy chicken and a bowl of winter melon soup. The spicy chicken was very authentic, the chili was cooked by my aunt at home, and the chicken was also a free-range chicken in the village. The two of them ate it with open bellies, and they also had two big bowls of rice. After the meal, Li Yu gave Wang Qingyang a look, and then Li Yu cleared the table and went to wash the dishes. Wang Qingyang picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea for his aunt, then sat aside and said: "Auntie, I heard my mother say that you came back to this village to live with your childhood sweetheart, but I Why haven't you introduced me to my uncle I've never met before?" The middle-aged old woman glanced at Wang Qingyang and said, "Hey... your aunt, I just want to live a normal life when I come back here. It's a pity that God is not kind..."

"We have known each other for decades. In fact, we had already obtained the certificate privately before I went to work in Chongqing. There is no problem if you call him uncle." "Your aunt, I have always wanted to be with you. He went to live in Chongqing together, but he didn't want to go. He said he would rather be an unknown doctor in a small village for the rest of his life. He didn't want to go to a big city or live in a city cage made of reinforced concrete. He liked it. This is a beautiful scenery with green mountains and clear water." Wang Qingyang nodded, "I heard from the sixth wife at the entrance of the village that she is the same way. She doesn't like the city, but loves the scenery of this village more."

The middle-aged woman also nodded and said: "Well, your aunt didn't understand this in the past. Young people were arrogant and wanted to take root in big cities. I also worked hard for many years until I retired and came back here, and I became like your uncle." "It's a pity that by the time I come back here, he won't be able to stay with me for a few more years." "Ah? You knew he was sick from the time you came back here?" "He has an old problem. He's fine. My hobby is not drinking, just a few puffs of old-fashioned cigarettes. I knew he had lung cancer before I came back, so I retired early and came back here to be with him." "Then why not go to the city for treatment and chemotherapy? If it is early stage, there should be There is a chance that the treatment will be successful." The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "He doesn't want to. He said that fate is determined. He once said to me: Magnolia, I, Xu Li, have been worthy of heaven and earth in my life, and worthy of society below. I am the only one I'm sorry for. Yes, it’s just you. In the past few decades, you have gone to the city to study and work, and we have always been together less and more apart. In the end, I was not able to accompany you for a few years, and I feel so ashamed!" Wang Qingyang He nodded and thought to himself, this uncle is definitely an honest man. He does not seek fame and fame. He works diligently as a doctor in the village and does not go to the city to enjoy the colorful world of entertainment. What a strange person! Then Wang Qingyang asked: "Auntie, what happened next? Did my uncle pass away?" The middle-aged woman shook her head and said: "I don't know whether he died or not. I only know that he left alone and where did he go? , I don’t know. Before he left, he told me that he wanted to visit his family’s old house and pay homage to his ancestors, and then he left. Then a few days later, he came back and gave me something. , asked me to put it away, and said that I didn’t have to look for him. He said that he knew that his time was running out. He had never been out of this village very much in his life. He wanted to see the world and didn’t want me to see him for the last time. He looks so skinny as a stick." Wang Qingyang's face was filled with shock. How the hell is this okay? "Then you are so obedient and let him go?" At this time, the aunt's eyes were already wet. "Of course I don't want to. I said I would go with him, but that night, he disappeared and was never heard from again. Nothing.”

At this time, Li Yu also walked out of the kitchen. Wang Qingyang moved his position, asked Li Yu to sit down, and said, "Then he left like this. What he left for you must be very important, right?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head, wiped her eyes, and then said: "The most important thing is a broken wooden box with several books and two jade tablets. I don't know any of the words on it." I know it, like a ghost drawing a talisman."

When Li Yu heard this, he became interested and said, "Auntie, can you let us have a look? As college students in the new era, we might know those ghost talismans!"

Wang Qingyang glanced at Li Yu, "Ha! Even my aunt, a veteran college student, can't understand it. Can you, a scumbag, understand it? Don't be ridiculous!" The middle-aged woman also glanced at Li Yu and said, "I'll get it for you. , just some old objects, worthless things, you can just look at them if you want." Then she got up and slowly walked to the room. Just when the aunt was going to get the things, Fatty Wang also told Li Yu some of the past that the aunt had told him before, and Li Yu also listened quietly...

"Take a look. Just watch the contents of this box carefully and don't damage it." "Okay! Let's take a look at it and put it back!" The middle-aged woman nodded, and then left to go back to the room to get some clothes. Went to wash up.

At this time, Li Yu and Fatty Wang also carefully opened the wooden box and studied it carefully. "Tell me, my uncle, why did he leave this crap behind and then disappear inexplicably?" "It's hard to say. Who knows what year these things are from? They might be cultural relics. Watch out for the national team to check the water meter. ." As soon as these words came out, Fatty Wang instantly winced at the side.

At this time, Li Yu took out the two books in the box, opened them, looked at them, and murmured: "Hey, these things really look like ghost drawings." Wang Qingyang also came up, well, I think so too. The two studied carefully for a while, and Li Yu suddenly said, Fatty, do you think that the formations drawn in this book are a bit like the formations in the game, the ones that appear on the ground after we cast spells and read the notes...Wang Qingyang is also serious. After thinking about it, well, that's a bit... "Do you think my uncle is a peerless master, a super magician?" Li Yu also joked, "If your uncle is a magician, wouldn't these two books be a catalog of banned books? All the forbidden arts recorded here are forbidden!" Suddenly, the two people began to become unruly, talking nonsense at one point or another. Until I touched the two jade plaques, the jade plaques were crookedly engraved with the character "Xu", "Hey, I know someone now, this is the character Xu!" "I'm not blind, and I also know this is the character "Xu". "Wang Qingyang said with disdain. It’s just that the texture of this jade token is a bit strange, Li Yu said. Wang Qingyang also nodded. He had never seen jade that was light blue, but the texture was cold and cool, not like fake jade. "I'm afraid your uncle didn't have much money, so he bought the imitation super-A artificial PVC from the Internet to fool your uncle." Li Yu joked. Fatty Wang also nodded with doubt on his face. It's possible. Where can I find light blue jade that really has this color? These two items are not allowed to participate in auctions abroad, and they can fetch tens of billions! "Hahahaha, it's still tens of billions. I'm driving you crazy thinking about money. Tiandi Bank doesn't even dare to issue denominations of tens of billions. The paper on the bedside of your dormitory only has denominations of tens of billions." Li Yu He patted the fat man on the shoulder and said solemnly.

In this way, the two of them fumbled for a long time without finding out the reason. Finally, they put everything back into the box intact. Then Wang Qingyang took the box to his aunt, and then the two of them went to the second floor to wash up and rest. .

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the aunt made two bowls of Chongqing-style noodles for the two new-age college students as breakfast. Li Yu and Wang Qingyang ate so happily.

Seeing the two of them finished eating, the aunt said to Wang Qingyang: "You are here this time, do you want to go to the Heshen Temple below the village near the Jialing River to worship?" Wang Qingyang nodded and said, "Classmate Li, there is something wrong at home. He wanted to help his family with some things, but we were all students and couldn't help, so he thought about going around to worship and ask gods and goddesses to bless their family so that they wouldn't have such trouble all the time and everything would be smooth. A little bit." Hearing Wang Qingyang's words, Li Yu also nodded, "I actually know that praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is a feudal superstition, but as college students, we really can't help our families, so we just try to comfort ourselves. The so-called heart Honesty is good!" The middle-aged woman nodded when she heard Li Yu's words, "Yes, you are still young, study hard, learn more knowledge, and find a good job in the future, so that you can really help your family. At times like this, it is already very thoughtful to have the heart to pray for your family. After all, incense is not a big sum of money. It is something that you students can spend within your ability. If you have this heart, it is the biggest thing for your family. Help." The two heard what the aunt said. They all nodded seriously.

Then I saw the aunt suddenly take a jade plaque from her hand. That's right, it's a jade sign. Yesterday, the two of them joked that it was a jade sign made of super-A high imitation PVC. There was also a basket of gold and silver paper money and two large incense sticks, which were handed to Wang Qingyang. "When you go to worship later, take this jade plaque with you, and also light some incense for your uncle to pray for his health. Since you also agree that he is your uncle, you can also worship him and burn some. Paper money, in fact, my aunt doesn’t know that when he leaves, we will be separated from each other. Let your uncle also bless you and your good friends, safe and smooth. Alas..." Followed by With a sigh, the middle-aged woman slowly walked towards the room, leaving only the jade plaque and a small basket of paper money and incense on the table.

Li Yu and Wang Qingyang looked at the things on the table and shook their heads in unison. Then they took the things given by the aunt and said to the aunt's room, "Let's set off." Just walk straight towards the entrance of the village.

There are now cement roads inside and outside the village, and the roads are easy to walk. The two walked for 20 minutes, gradually approaching the direction of the Jialing River, and then went down to a dirt road without cement. The two walked down carefully, and then After walking for more than 10 minutes, we passed through a small bamboo forest and finally arrived at the Heshen Temple on the riverside.

This temple is a bit dilapidated. Because it is very close to the river, it is very humid all year round. There are many signs of decay on the wooden boards on the temple door. The two of them walked into the temple slowly. The temple is not big, covering an area of ​​about 400 square meters. For a temple, it is indeed very small!

Arriving at the temple, the two slowly took out paper money, incense, and some fruits from the basket. The fruit was placed on the altar, and the paper money was lit on fire at the entrance of the temple. Finally, Wang Qingyang also placed the jade plaque on the altar. Then Li Yu and Wang Qingyang each lit incense and began to worship the river god in the temple. (After all, the two are very familiar with each other. As the only superstitious duo in Qingda who worship the temple at the first sight, this can be said to be quite professional.)

Suddenly, the blue jade plaque on the altar suddenly shone a little bit, the light was not too bright, just a little faint. Both of them thought they were dazzled. Fatty Wang said: "Old Li, did you see that jade plaque glowing?" Li Yu also looked at the jade plaque with disbelief, "Do you believe in light?" "I didn't believe it before. , now I believe it..." "Could it be that our prayer this time moved God and it really worked?" Li Yu said with a look of disdain, "What are you praying for, can it still work?" Wang Qingyang said, "Of course I do. What I’m asking for is that, brother, you’ll live a life of wealth and peace, go smoothly from now on, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of your life!” Li Yu looked at Fatty Wang with disdain, “Do you think I believe it or not?”

At this moment, the light from the jade plaque on the altar became brighter, and even the air began to have a warm and sunny atmosphere. Wang Qingyang suddenly became anxious and said, "Isn't this thing going to explode?? This jade token left behind by my good uncle who I have never met is a detonating talisman?" "What a detonating talisman, God?" Hurry back!" Li Yu was also a little surprised and said quickly.

But as soon as the two of them took two steps back, the light of the jade card suddenly became dazzling, enveloping the two of them in an instant, and then their eyes were covered by a large amount of light blue light.

Suddenly the two of them couldn't see anything and became dizzy. At this moment, Li Yu shouted loudly, "Hold my hand!" Fatty Wang didn't hesitate at all, and held Li Yu's hand tightly. As soon as their hands tightened, a dizzying feeling suddenly appeared in their minds. Then the two gradually lost consciousness.

At this time, the figures of the two people gradually blurred, and slowly disappeared into the temple. After the two of them disappeared into the temple, the light of the jade plaque on the altar gradually faded, and finally turned into a pile of white powder. At this moment, there is no one in the Heshen Temple. There are only fruits on the altar, paper money burning at the door, and incense that has just begun to light up on the altar, which can prove that someone seems to have been here before... …
