When Liu Zhong copied Shi Gandang and hurried up the mountain with Liu Qian and Yu Ying, he turned his head a few times worried.
"Guangzhong, don't look at it. It's important to save your life." Yu Ying grabbed him and pulled him up the mountain.
"I...I don't think this is appropriate." Liu Qian raised his eyes quickly as he spoke, watching Yu Ying's expression and reaction.
Chang Le urged from behind: "We can't help much when we go back, let's go back to the wooden house first."
Liu Zhong squinted his eyes and saw Jian Mingshu running towards the logging camp.He thought about Jian Mingshu's calm and relaxed appearance in everything he encountered in the past few days, so he stomped his feet and walked up the mountain.
The four of them didn't take a few steps, but when they looked up, they met an unexpected person.
Su Qiu didn't wear the black embroidered skirt she wore when she parted in the morning, instead she changed into a dress with more gorgeous patterns and piping, and even the earrings were replaced with exaggerated ribbons hanging down to her chest.I haven't seen her for a while, she changed her simple appearance in the wooden house, and she greeted her whole body with silver bracelets and jewelry.
Not only are her arms covered with silver bracelets, but she also wears a huge silver collar worn in three layers on her chest.
Suqiu blocked their way and asked, "Where are you going?"
Changle replied: "Go back to the cabin."
"Oh—" Suqiu responded with a drawn out voice.
She pointed in another direction: "Go to the village tonight and live in the wooden house."
This proposal was exactly what Yu Ying wanted.At the lumberyard, she met a villager who was smoking a pipe, and a few small talk made her whisper in her heart.Originally, she planned to bid farewell to Jian Mingshu after the Dragon Gate was established, and hide in the village pointed by Liu Qian for a few days.Unexpectedly, Suqiu took the initiative to welcome the three of them, and even took the initiative to mention living in the village, lest she explain to Jian Mingshu.
Although the handsome guy named Jian Mingshu looked young, she was really a little apprehensive when Yu Ying talked to him.So good, so good.
Yu Ying thought happily, and kept nodding her head: "Ai, ai, this is better!"
Chang Le glanced at Su Qiu suspiciously, and gave a random reason: "I agree with the bed, can we still live in the wooden house."
The smile froze on Suqiu's face for a moment, then her expression turned warm again: "Then you decide where to live."
Liu Qian said in a low voice, "Mr. Jian said he would stay here tonight..."
Yu Ying immediately gritted her teeth and glared at him, and Liu Qian closed her mouth knowingly.Liu Zhong, on the other hand, kept his mouth tightly shut, as if refusing to communicate.
The four of them exchanged glances, and Chang Le suddenly had a premonition that other than him, the other three didn't want to listen to Jian Mingshu's words and lived in the cabin.
Looking at each other, the four were silent for a moment.
"Let's live in the village, it's easy to take care of many people." Liu Zhong suggested.
Suqiu's eyes flicked over the expressions of the four people, seeing that there was no objection, she turned her back and led the way for the three of them.
Jian Mingshu and Liu Ruonan have been following Sister Zhu, seeing her walking forward in a daze, leaving the forest and walking towards a stone fortress.
When going down the mountain, Jian Mingshu took a rough look at the layout of the village, and felt that the fortress was quite strange at that time.
From a distance, this building does not look like a barn or a fortress, but an enlarged version of a tomb.
The fortress looks like the source of the river in front of the village, but I don't know why this "source" has to be surrounded, and a thick iron gate is used, with a black iron tiger head lock.
Compared with the closed and backward appearance of this small village, this security level is already considered the highest alert level.
Jian Mingshu paid special attention when he went down the mountain, the lock was clearly intact and tightly locked.Now, the tiger's head was torn in half by someone, and there was a terrifying deformation in the crack.
Sister Zhu was stunned at the door, then gently pushed the iron door and walked in stiffly.This door looks to be five meters high. Judging from the rust on the door, it should be made of pure iron.Sister Zhu looked thin and weak, but when she pushed it open, it was as easy as pushing a wooden door.
Jian Mingshu hurriedly followed and also walked towards the stone fortress.Although the condition of the fortress-shaped round seat is limited, it has been repaired neatly, and there is even a two-meter-high traditional stone carving on the top of the iron gate.
"Brother Ming, look, there are patterns painted on the gate." Liu Ruonan said looking at the stone carvings on the iron gate.
"Silly girl, this is called the door." Bai Wuchang teased without losing the opportunity.
"Lao Qi is right." Jian Mingshu nodded, and explained patiently: "The doors and tiles used to be very particular, and they were either carved with auspicious patterns or with patterns of disgust. This one is engraved..."
Jian Mingshu frowned, and he pursed his lips tightly, hesitating for a few seconds.
Carved on it are four side-by-side villains, all with round faces and hanging eyes, with mulberry branches inserted in the left and right ears.This is the "Square Villain" used by Wu Zhu to chase after souls.
"The carved pattern is for summoning souls." Jian Mingshu said briefly, seeing Liu Ruonan's eyes widen slightly, he added comforting words: "It doesn't have to be a sorcery. It can also be used to pray for blessings, such as the famous Chu Ci "Calling the Soul" and Du Fu's "Peng Ya Xing" all mentioned the soul-hunting technique with a soothing meaning. Moreover, in the spiritual places like Yuxi and Zhaotong in Yunnan, chasing the soul has also evolved into a festival for blessing."
It can be used to pray for blessings, and naturally it can also be used to curse witches.Jian Mingshu thought about it, but it's better not to say the second half of the sentence.
He raised his head and looked seriously at the row of ghost hunters on the top: "There may be danger inside, you two should wait outside, or go back to the cabin first."
"I'll go in together." Liu Ruonan said immediately, "Maybe I can help too, just like just now."
Jian Mingshu recalled that just now, she was really bold and careful, she was not a hindrance, and she could even be a god for assists.
He nodded: "That's adaptable. Go in and don't run around."
The iron door was staggered with a small crack, a cold wind was blowing faintly from inside, and there was a faint sound of water.
Jian Mingshu gently pushed the iron door, which was much heavier than expected.
He leaned over and propped up the iron gate with his upper arm, before pushing it away about two palms wide.The not-so-wide slit is enough for one person to enter sideways, Jian Mingshu headed in and walked in.
For a moment, he suspected that he had worshiped the wrong sacred tree before.
As soon as he entered the fortress, his gaze was attracted by the sparse star galaxy.Under the dome, there is a huge lake, faintly surging with waves.In the middle of the lake there is a small forest, where a tree like jade grows, faintly emitting a cold white light.
Not only that, but wherever Jian Ming's eyes can see, there are countless jade quality orchids growing, surging like water-like light.While walking, fireflies startled in the orchid bushes.
This is to see the real jade planted Qiong, the galaxy drooping.
Jian Mingshu recalled the strange banyan tree in the forest with black and red banners and twelve drums. Compared with the two, it was more like a "divine tree".
There was no sign of Sister Zhu in the fortress at all.
The shimmering light from the magnolia orchid grass was not strong, and it could barely illuminate a general idea. Judging from the convective cold wind that traversed the entire interior, there should be another exit or a hole in the direction facing the gate.
"Hey, it's such a good place to talk about love, it's a pity that my family Ah Hei is not here." Bai Wuchang said quietly.
Jian Mingshu replied smoothly: "Do you want to kill the old man? The last ghost official who made such a joke was still in the animal world. [1]"
Bai Wuchang sighed: "Scorn the power of ghosts. The fairy world and the human world don't engage in the practice of destroying human desires. Why are we in Hades and Fengdu Prison still so clichéd?"
Jian Mingshu ignored it: "Welcome to submit a proposal to the Fengdu Council."
Bai Wuchang smirked politely.
Liu Ruonan silently listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly asked: "Brother Ming, you are not from the Underworld, nor are you someone we know, why did you come to this place?"
Jian Mingshu was startled, and then immediately said vaguely: "I promised someone else one thing."
Liu Ruonan: "Who is it? It's..." She didn't ask further.
Jian Mingshu didn't understand the meaning of hesitation asked by Yingying, and said bluntly: "He is my adoptive father."
Liu Ruonan seemed to be greatly relieved.
She lowered her voice and looked at the ground: "Brother Ming, do you have a date?"
Jian Mingshu replied casually: "I don't talk about my partner."
This is true.
It's not that he didn't have this idea, but since a long time ago, he discovered that the passage of time in him always seems to be slower than others.Along the way, he always saw off that one.Whether it is the first parents, aunts, brothers, or even nephews and grandnephews who are all getting old, Jian Mingshu still looks like this.
It wasn't until the foreigners blasted open the gates of the last dynasty with a double-pronged attack of opium/pipe cannons, and the vast land collapsed like a jade mountain. After the troubled times, the Jian family had no one to send them off, leaving him alone.
After that, he saw the dynasty collapse, see the chaotic world fight, and see the sparks start a prairie fire, until now the peace. 200 years is neither long nor short, but it is enough for several generations to marry wives and have children and live endlessly, and it is also enough for white clouds and dogs to change the world.
Sometimes, Jian Mingshu wondered how lonely Kunpeng must be.He only lived for 200 years, and for Kunpeng, who is tens of thousands of years old, it was only a snap of his fingers.
For tens of thousands of years, the Eight Barrens have changed into Huaxia, the mansions have changed into Qionglou, and even the "longevity" leaders of the Underworld have changed generations.I don't know what Kunpeng feels in his heart?
Was it because Kunpeng was too lonely that he adopted Jian Mingshu, who was also stagnant in time?
Through the sleeve, Jian Mingshu touched the lines on the forearm of his left hand.His life seemed to have completely changed after imprinting this imprint.
Perhaps, as the "expert" invited by my aunt said at the time, these traces surrounded by black clouds are curses from the underworld.
Liu Ruonan was full of worries, the ground was too dark, she accidentally tripped over something.
"Oh my God." Liu Ruonan's low exclamation came from behind.
Jian Mingshu looked towards the sound and recognized a vague outline in the darkness. He took a few steps forward and looked a few more times in disbelief.
It was a small black coffin, which was hoisted with iron chains on the top and fixed with iron chains at the bottom.
The inside of the fortress was dark, and as soon as they entered, they were attracted by the radiant magnolia orchids, so they didn't notice the circle of coffins around them at all.Jian Mingshu took a few steps forward, and saw through the dim light that this was not the only coffin.Sticking to the curved wall of the fortress, there are a row of black coffins hanging all over. It is roughly estimated that there are more than 20 of them.
"There seems to be a photo on the coffin." Liu Ruonan made another discovery.
The coffin was hung too high, only Bai Wuchang could float up to have a look.He looked around and floated down: "Miss and sisters, they are all beautiful, but miserable enough."
"They?"
Is there more than one main god in this cocoon world?
He was lost in thought, but he didn't notice that the iron door suddenly closed with a heavy muffled sound.
"Guangzhong, don't look at it. It's important to save your life." Yu Ying grabbed him and pulled him up the mountain.
"I...I don't think this is appropriate." Liu Qian raised his eyes quickly as he spoke, watching Yu Ying's expression and reaction.
Chang Le urged from behind: "We can't help much when we go back, let's go back to the wooden house first."
