Chapter 16 4. The Wizard's Trap

——————Your perspective—————

It was very warm in the yurt, and a girl named Tara gave me milk tablets.She seemed to think that I was the granddaughter of Chen Pi Asi, the leather bag was my brother, the dumb Zhang was my elder brother, and Monk Hua was my father—anyway, she just thought we were a family.

Do we look alike! ?You said that it's okay for me to look like a little brother, so let's leave it alone.

Leather bag took this opportunity to argue with me again, asking why I always call me "Amo".I said I said it myself when the fourth grandpa picked me up.

"Then your surname is Mo?" The kid chased after him, "Or is this a random name you picked?"

I was so annoyed that I said with a blank expression: "No, actually I wanted to say 'Aba Aba Aba' at the time, but I was so frightened by your four grandfathers that I swallowed the final sound. Otherwise, my aunt would be called Chen Ba now, no, Dad Chen gone."

Leather bag: "..."

I sighed, and thought to myself, why didn’t that dumb Zhang come to talk to me?

I was assigned to sleep alone on one side and they slept together on the other.Chen Pi Asi pointed to the bed and asked me to hide the equipment, and then called us to get together to listen to the following plan.

This river is a seasonal river. In winter, the temperature on this plain will drop to around minus [-] degrees. At that time, the flow of the river will be changed successively due to the freezing of different parts.

The point where the flow changes direction is a key point, theoretically it should be a bay with minerals.

The guide who paid for it was waiting for us in the village in front of us. That village was the beginning of no-man's land, and there would be no place for people to live in the future.

In fact, the location of that village should also be very strange. According to Monk Hua, it is basically a village on the way we must pass through, and it is not a nomadic yurt, but a house built by the government.And behind this village is no man's land, and no matter which direction is far away from another village, that's why we will stay in a wild yurt today.

In the evening, the Mongolian people treated us to roast lamb, and Tara's father also brought out wine.Tara can speak some Chinese, so I chatted with her and asked her if there were many tourists here.She said that there are quite a lot here, and there will be less in the direction we are going.

I asked why, she said that the front is no man's land?There is nothing left, and there are wolves.

I froze for a moment, and asked if there was still a village?Tara thought for a while and said yes, there is still a village built by the government, but there are very few people.It really can't develop there.Although I heard that funds will be allocated for road construction, it is still basically empty now.

I thought about it, and my country still needs to work hard in this geographical location and climate.

We chatted for a while, and she sang.I can't understand Mongolian, but it sounds nice, and it feels like a grassland.

"What is this singing about?" I asked.

"This is the song we sang when offering sacrifices to Obo," Tara said. "Do you know Obo? It's made of stones, in the shape of a tower."

Her accent was a little heavy, but I understood it.Along the way, I also saw some rough buildings piled up with colorful flags. At that time, I thought it was a landmark, a place where sheep herders rested.

"Does that represent your gods? Or does it indicate a place?" I asked.

Tara said: "It is the symbol of the clan. But in fact, it is still used for sacrifices until now, mainly to pray for the good weather of the world."

I thought to myself that the gods of heaven and earth had no shape, so they just piled them up randomly.If you think about it that way, it's really too easy.

I was in a hurry before I came, I only checked a little information.The supreme god of Mongolian shamanism is called "Changshengtian". I don't know what it looks like, but it is the most powerful god anyway.

I asked them about the myths and legends here, and Tara said that she didn’t know much about it in her generation, and her grandfather knew them very well, and she would know the name of the patron saint of that place wherever she went.

"In fact, there is no requirement to sacrifice which god to sacrifice to Obo, it is possible," Tara thought for a while, and suddenly said, "For example, the village you just mentioned, I know their patron saint."

As soon as I heard it, I became interested, "What does it look like?"

"It's Zhaohuduge," Tara said, "in Chinese it means a hundred-eyed well."

The car became more and more difficult to drive, my cough became more and more serious, and I gradually lost the strength to make a fuss, so I leaned against the car window and closed my eyes to rest.

The "Hundred Eyes Well" that Tara told me yesterday is also called "The Well of Dogs". It is a spectacle. The one in Ordos is very famous and a tourist attraction.The landscape is located in a Pingliang sandy land in the area of ​​Baiyanjing Village. It is composed of more than 100 stone-made stables and stone-made wells in a concave area with an area of ​​about [-] square meters distributed from northeast to southwest. The sill is composed of deep exploration wells.The concentrated distribution and large number of wells are rare in the world.

Regarding the cause of the Baiyan Well, although historians and local legends have given many theories, such as the theory of Genghis Khan’s safari excavation, the Song Dynasty’s excavation at the border, and the Xixia post station’s excavation, they cannot be clarified due to the lack of definite archaeological and documentary evidence. Confirmed, it becomes a mystery through the ages.

But this one doesn't seem to be the same.

That village's belief in hundreds of wells sounds strange, so their "Hundred-Eye Well" may not be what we know it to be.

Tara said that she hadn’t seen any totem statues, but she had been there once. There was a very large obo in the middle of the village, and it was the only obo in the whole village. This obo represented their god.

I told the fourth grandfather this information, but he didn't say anything.I don't know if he already knew it, or it's not important, or he's used to not expressing his views.

"Look at the mountain ahead!"

I opened my eyes when I heard the sound, thinking that there are mountains in this place?Then I saw a hill on the opposite side of the river, with a lot of plain vegetation on it, but very few tall trees.At a glance, I saw a white house on the hillside.

finally reached!Thinking to myself, I sat up straight and rubbed my eyes.

The house actually feels like a small western-style building. It may be that the country's construction was still affected by many Western customs at that time.

"Si Grandpa, it seems to be a small road, and the car can't drive up it." Monk Hua said after driving around the foot of the mountain for a while.

"Let's go up," Chen Pi Asi said, "park the car where we can see it from above."

After the car stopped, each of us carried a bag and got out of the car.Chen Pi Asi raised his head and squinted his eyes, then suddenly looked at dumb Zhang.They seem to have exchanged a look, the dumb Zhang put on the hood of his hoodie, and one of them walked in the other direction.

I opened my mouth and didn't speak.Since the fourth grandpa asked the younger brother to take the lead secretly, it shows two problems.One, he feels distrust of this place or the people here.Second, he believes in the ability of the younger brother.

Although I don't know why Si Grandpa is so vigilant, there must be a reason for him to do so.Moreover, perhaps because this is a no-man's land, it is very rare to feel this kind of silence in the city, and I also feel uneasy.

"Let's go." The fourth grandpa said.

A group of us climbed up the mountainside along the path where at most two people can walk side by side.Although there are no trees, the grass here grows to be more than half a person's height, and I won't be able to see the dumb Zhang after a while.

This hill looks not high, but it actually took a lot of time to climb up.I am not good at this kind of continuous physical output. When I climbed to the entrance of the village, I was panting like a dog.

"It's a bit strange, Fourth Grandpa." Monk Hua said.

The leather bag listened carefully, "There seems to be no sound of movement."

I also found that the houses here are very old, but there seems to be no trace of life.Another thing that makes me feel strange is that the style of this building is not like the government buildings after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but rather like the Shanghai style of the Republic of China period.

But at the age of the fourth grandpa, he should know this better than me.

There is a watchtower like a small bell tower at the entrance of the village. The iron stairs are broken, and it is estimated that no one has used it for a long time.

The village does not have a serious gate, and we did not see a tour guide who said he would wait for us at the entrance of the village.As we were walking, Chen Pi Asi suddenly stopped us, raised his hand and threw two iron marbles on the ground in front of us.

I saw that the ground suddenly sank down, revealing a ditch.Below the ditch is a triangle of sharpened sticks.It was originally covered with dry grass and sand.

I asked in surprise: "Si Grandpa, what is this?"

"Generally, villages will set up such traps to defend against foreign enemies," Chen Pi Asi said, "but...it seems a bit strange."

The leather bag leaned over to look, "Look, this wooden tip is quite new, it's not like no one has updated it. But where have everyone gone?"

Monk Hua lit a cigarette, "Si Grandpa, look at this soil."

We all leaned over to look, and the brownish-yellow soil even faintly glowed purple when it reached the lower layer.As far as I know, purple soil only exists in the south of our country, and it should be the color of some kind of clay mineral.

Suddenly, the grass behind him rustled.We immediately turned our heads vigilantly, staring at the grass that had just moved.

"Who is it?" Monk Hua called out.

The grass moved again, and a short and thin figure came out.We all subconsciously clenched our weapons.It's a bit weird that a person suddenly emerges from the grass in this ghostly place where the birds don't shit.

"You are the guests who asked me out before, aren't you?" The man said something with a strong accent.Only then did I see clearly that this old man was about 50 to [-] years old, his facial bones were a bit strange, and his eyebrows were also very long, flying out to both sides.It's a bit like the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River.

I finally understood what he said, so I laughed and said, "Yes, uncle, are you our guide?"

He looked at me very strangely, and said in a strange tone, "Come with me."

I looked at Si Grandpa and thought what's going on, did I offend the old man?

The fourth grandpa nodded, motioning for everyone to follow.After all, our firepower equipment, if this strange guide wants to cheat us, we have to consider the consequences.

The old man walked into the village by himself, and I found that his legs were a little lame.The leather bag wanted to find out something and asked, "Master, do you have any folklore here..."

"You are here to find the general's tomb." The old man said suddenly.

His voice was so loud and his accent was so ugly that I was taken aback.The leather bag was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "That's right, we are very fond of this ancient civilization, and we came here specially to collect it."

The old man sneered, not knowing what it meant.

"Uncle, why did you come up from below," I asked, "Do people here often go out to communicate with people nearby?"

The old man stopped suddenly and looked back at me. I didn't know what he was going to do. He was advancing or retreating for a while.

After staring at me with those strange eyebrows for a while, he said again: "The general's tomb is right in front." After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

I was completely confused, just as I was about to continue walking, Chen Pi Asi suddenly grabbed me.

I saw him hit the ground with a few iron bullets again, smoke and dust rose up, and a trap unexpectedly collapsed.Only the two-palm width where the strange old man walked just now is the real ground.

I was taken aback, what's going on?How can there be such a trap in the village.Is this man trying to kill us all?

Si Agong has been so awesome for so many years, it must be very uncomfortable to be calculated by others.The man turned his head and ran as soon as he saw his secret, Chen Pi Asi threw out the nine-claw hook from his sleeve, and grabbed the man's head at once.

The strange old man let out an incomparably shrill and strange cry, and I couldn't help frowning because it was so harsh.Chen Pi pulled him back hard, which was an inch of strength.I have seen that the fourth grandfather can still explode with great strength at this age.

The man softened all of a sudden, and knelt down directly.Just when Si Grandpa was about to take back the nine-claw hook, the old man suddenly moved again.

Monk Hua was the first to react, and stepped on the dirt road in the middle to grab the man's shoulder.

However, just as he walked around in front of that person, his expression suddenly changed.Before we can speak, we see the man's neck start to twist.Within three seconds, the man's body was motionless, but his head was turned 180 degrees to face us.

That face was already a bit scary, but at this moment it was distorted into a smile that was not a smile, and it seemed that it was still in focus.

Damn, the ghost story in broad daylight has come true!I was almost frightened, and stepped back one after another, "Si Grandpa, he...he...he..."

"Back!" Chen Pi Asi roared.

Monk Hua immediately backed up, the nine-claw hook exerted force again, and the head made a tooth-piercing creak, and the man collapsed straight to the ground.

Monk Hua turned him over on his back, and saw that the man's complexion had turned blue in just a few tens of seconds, and his eyes were full of yellow-white shadows, and he couldn't help feeling sick to his stomach.

"He's already dead," Chen Pi Asi said gloomily, "he died after he made that cry."

They dragged the body aside and examined it.The neck bone was indeed broken.Except for the wound on the Nine Claws, no obvious trauma was found, and the lame leg was also an old injury, and the cause was no longer apparent, but the muscles of the other leg were obviously atrophied.

When Si Grandpa drew the Nine Claw Hook in the end, he should have been completely dead. Otherwise, under the huge blood pressure, his brain and blood would have shot out of his ears instead of flowing out like this now.

"You turned your body around after you died? How...how is this possible?" I thought this was too weird, and I was shivering in the cold in broad daylight.

Chen Pi Asi had a sullen face, "No, if he screwed himself to death, it would be a big trouble."
