Cultural Relics Are Not To Be Messed With

His sudden shout probably frightened the person hiding there. Judging from the sound, the person was startled, staggered on the grass and gravel, and then cautiously walked from the hut not far away. Out of the dark behind.

Even though the sky was billowing with black air and densely covered with dark clouds, the shadow of the moon could not be seen at all, but with Longya's eyesight, he could still see the appearance of that person clearly——

It was an old man in his 70s or 1.7s. It can be seen that he should be tall when he was young. Even when he was old, he still looked about [-] meters tall, but he had a bow on his back. Except for his belly, he was pretty thin everywhere. .

He was wearing gray clothes, with yellow talisman paper on his shoulders, chest, arms, and legs. The talisman paper was different from the one used by Long Ya before, and it looked a bit inferior, just like being burned at a grave during the Qingming Festival. It looks like yellow paper, and the runes on it are not drawn so smoothly, it looks messy.

These messy talisman papers made the old man a bit funny and pitiful.

"..." Long Ya scanned the man up and down, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Why don't you just put one on your forehead, is this to drive away ghosts or to drive yourself away!"

He looked down at the yellow paper talisman on his body uncomfortably, pinched his fingers, and said in a dialect accent: "I just came back and saw the black energy flying around. I was afraid of being entangled, so I took it out." Put some talismans on your body for defense."

"Come back?" Long Ya frowned upon hearing this word, and glanced at the hut behind the old man.He raised his chin towards the somewhat crude hut and said, "You are not the one who lives in this hut, are you?"

"Yes." The old man nodded.

"Hiss - I heard that the people who live in this room are dedicated to cleaning this ancient building..." Long Ya recalled what Qi Chen said before, and looked at the old man again, with suspicion in his eyes.

"Yes! I just clean the ancient buildings." The old man replied.

Long Ya frowned: "The black air is not something ordinary people can see, and you have the yellow paper talisman hanging all over your body, don't tell me that you are also a part-time warlock, waiting for Qingming to consecrate people who go up the mountain. , cheat some pocket money."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again, "No, of course not! My talisman is only for self-defense, and it looks very rough. If you give it away for free, no one will be willing to accept it."

Long Ya still looked at him with some disbelief.

When I took Qi Chen up the mountain a few times before, it was almost midnight, and the hut next to it was always dark, and there was no movement at all. The people who lived in it must have gone to bed long ago, let alone meet each other.

Long Ya originally thought that the person cleaning on the mountain might be someone who lived alone, didn't have much labor capacity, and didn't have anyone to take care of at home, so he was arranged to live on the mountain and clean the ancient buildings, which was considered a place to stay The place.

But he didn't expect it to be such an old man.

"Did you draw this talisman yourself?" Long Ya asked.

The old man nodded: "Yes..."

"You can see the black air that ordinary people can't see, and you can draw some useful talismans... How can you live alone on this Qushan mountain? Warlock, it's better than this." Long Ya said, and glanced at him again, but he really didn't feel any evil spirit in him.

The old man was silent for a while, and said: "My family... from the ancestors of many, many generations ago, they will do these quack tricks. Of course, they are much better than me, half of them are born, and half of them are acquired by themselves. , but passed down from generation to generation. When I came here, there was not much left of the natural part, and I didn’t pay much attention to the acquired ones. I only drew these few self-defense talismans. It’s enough. From the ancestors Since then, my family has always had a family motto, that is, on the [-]th of every month, when there is no one, you have to come to Qushan to sweep the dust of this ancient building... It has been passed down to me. It’s just that I am alone, and there is no one. If you don’t worry about it, you don’t have to wait for the nineteenth, just move up the mountain, and clean it every day when there is no one.”

Long Ya was still a little puzzled when he heard the first half, but when he heard the "nineteenth of every month", he had some ideas in his mind: "Did your ancestors say why you are asked to clean it on the nineteenth of every month?"

"Yes, I didn't just leave a message..." The old man whispered: "My ancestors understood things much more profoundly than us, so I didn't just leave a simple message. There are some things that I can remember from birth, and I often dream about them, so Always keep it in mind."

"The reason why my family from generation to generation went up to the mountain on the [-]th of each month to clean the ancient building is because there used to be a good man who lived in this ancient building. He once saved dozens of members of my ancestors' family and many people. It's just that too many people are afraid of his name, fearing that he will spoil him. My Qin family has always been a person who remembers kindness. My ancestors left a message and cleaned this ancient building for him from generation to generation. Until he comes back, until he comes back Now, tell him that there are not only people who are afraid of him in the world, but also those who miss him..."

"Although I am a widow all my life, I am very lucky. There are so many generations of my family who have not waited for it, so I have waited. This head is for my ancestor. He didn't have time to say thank you, so I will finish it for him... …" As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Chen on Long Ya's shoulder, and then he bent his knees and was about to kneel.

Long Ya was taken aback by his knock, and turned to look at the person on his shoulder, only to realize that Qi Chen had changed his appearance at some point.

He lifted his feet against the man's knees that were about to touch the ground, and stopped him: "He's about to wake up! I can't take your thank you for him. When he wakes up, tell him yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the ancient building, raised his hand and lit the two lamps on the desk, and then went straight to the side room on the right with one lamp in his hand.

Sure enough, this ancient building has been cleaned all the year round. You can't see any dust. Even the bed is neat and tidy. In a place like Xishi, there is no moisture at all. It is obvious that it is cleaned and dried on a regular basis. Pass.

Long Ya put Qi Chen on the bed, and with a flick of his wrist, he touched a black pill and a jade pot. He raised Qi Chen's head, stuffed the pill into Qi Chen's mouth, and then He raised his head and took a sip of water from the jade pot, facing Qi Chen's lips and crossing in.

The old man was probably a little worried about Qi Chen's situation, so he followed the door in a panic, and just asked "Is there anything I can do to help", when he saw the scene of Longya crossing the water, he was shocked into a coffin Son, stiffened and backed out silently, looking at the huge hanging banner of ghostly symbols in the hall, feeling stupid for a long time.

Qi Chen was lying on the bed, his facial features had not changed, but his hair had become very long, spreading under his body like ink, and the clothes on his body had also changed into plain long clothes. As if he was going to go away in the next second.

Long Ya sat by the bed, seeing his appearance which he hadn't seen for a long time, he was a little dazed for a moment.

The person who was able to speak freely before suddenly became what he used to be at this time, lying quietly in front of him like this, faintly showing signs of recovering his memory... I don’t know how to write the word nervous for thousands of years Long Ya felt this emotion for the first time.

Besides the ancient building, the other three places where formations have been set up are also turned upside down at this time——

The river flowing through Westport is full of big waves, one after another, it will rush to the shore in almost a second, directly submerging half of Westport.

The black air billowed in the stone cave where the formation was once formed at the bottom of the river, like a huge dragon, churning at the bottom of the river, causing countless turmoil.

There was a huge vibration under the construction site in Yunshi, and then gravel splashed in all directions, and the rising black air caused countless cracks on the ground. On the ground, the sky is full of dust.

In the residential area of ​​Qin City, the old pagoda tree that was originally planted on the ground where the talisman array was located has now become a piece of broken wood, and the surrounding soil has been turned into a mess, leaving only a bottomless pit on the ground The hole, the wall of the residential building on the side was affected, and fine and dense cracks appeared, spreading up from the bottom like a spider web, and large pieces of wall skin fell off.

Where the talisman formations were broken everywhere, the black gas turned into a black dragon, soaring straight into the sky, churning in the sea of ​​clouds, covering the entire sky.

After all the black air dissipated, strands of light diffused from the four talisman arrays, like stars floating out of the ground, with a layer of faint fire, converging into rivers of light, and the momentum was great. Across the east, west, north and south, rushing towards Qushan, Xishi.

If anyone could see it, he would be speechless by the sight.

Countless points of light with fire gathered from all directions, enveloping the entire ancient building.

It was as if the people in the ancient building were being reborn from the ashes.

The red flames almost reflected half of the sky. The old man waiting in the hall opened his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him... This was probably the most amazing sight he had seen in his whole life, no, it was the most amazing sight he had seen for so many years. .

All these star-like light spots poured into Qi Chen's body, his outline became more and more clear, his black hair became longer and longer, and his plain white robe was no longer so illusory that it was almost unreal.

Long Ya suddenly couldn't sit still.

He stood up holding hands, walked to the window of the side room, and looked outside at the sky where the fire had just dissipated.

Behind him, on the wooden table, the lamp was burning quietly, covering the room dimly.

The black dragon in the sky has been submerged in the sea of ​​clouds, and the thunder keeps flashing, getting more and more urgent...

After a long time, with the last thunderclap, the rain fell again with a bang, and the sound of the rain hit the eaves of the ancient building in patches, forming a line in front of the eaves, like a water curtain.

It is impossible to see the crescent moon and broken stars in such a rainy day, not to mention that the black air has not dissipated.

But in the sky not far away, a star glowing red appeared... It was the Ying Huo Xing that I hadn't seen for a long time.

At the moment when Ying Huo Xing lit up, Long Ya heard a rustling sound behind him, which made him froze.

Then came the footsteps that were so light that even Long Ya couldn't hear them clearly, from the side of the bed all the way to Long Ya's back.

A few seconds later, an unfamiliar voice sounded beside his ears, saying, "It's raining again..."

Long Ya's heart suddenly fell to the ground, everything was exactly the same as it was many years ago, as if life and death had never been parted...

His Adam's apple moved, and after a long time, he replied in a deep voice, "Well, it's raining again...you finally woke up and slept for a long time."

The fifth cloud opens and the moon shines
