Urban Witcher

Meng Zeyu really knew it clearly, nodded and said: "That is a loquat tree spirit, one of the few evil things planted by General Chen and guarding the ancient tomb. It's nothing, he wants to dig a tomb to find treasure, so of course he can't be kept. But the loquat tree spirit can't just say that it is to protect the ancient tomb, so he found a seemingly undoubted reason for coveting the mana of the celestial master, otherwise he would never Once someone escapes, they will definitely suspect that there is something good under the ancient tomb, otherwise why would there be evil things guarding it?"

Ye Xiaomu and Su Yan looked at each other, both of them were full of emotion. This matter was reversed once, which surprised them, but they didn't expect a bigger reversal.

Before they came, they thought it was an ordinary supernatural incident out of curiosity, but they got deeper and deeper, and even involved the White Lotus Sect hundreds of years ago, and the matter is not over yet, and there are many things they don't know. Su Yan took a deep breath and said, "Where are the relatives of the general who lived in the village later, were they all killed?"

"That's not true. Those are ordinary people and they can't pose a threat. Once the thief leader and the celestial master died, they scattered like birds and beasts. The rumors of Fengmen Village being haunted were spread at that time. This is a good thing for the ancient tomb. , to avoid being disturbed.”

After hearing this, Ye Xiaomu asked, "But until the 1970s and 1980s, there were still people living in this village. Where did these people come from?"

"It's just the refugees nearby. They didn't know the existence of the ancient tomb, and they lived in peace for decades. Later, a child in the village fell into the ancient well and died. The villagers salvaged the body and discovered the existence of the cave and the ancient tomb. The awakening of the tomb guard killed some people, and the rest all escaped. No one lives in this village since then."

"It's...it's that simple."

"It's that simple." Meng Zeyu shrugged, "Those speculations and rumors on the Internet are far-fetched and not worth mentioning. More than ten years ago, Fengmen Village was discovered by travel enthusiasts and gradually became famous. People kept coming To explore, but because in modern society, the tomb guards dare not kill people casually, so as not to attract more attention, so they just scare them away.

But the tomb guards can't keep up with the times. What they don't know is that in the old days, if a place was haunted, everyone would shy away and dare not approach it. But in this era, Professor Yuan is all blamed for doing hybrid rice. , too many people are full of food and have nothing to do, the more terrifying the place, the more exciting it is for them to come to watch, endlessly.

Originally, the groundwater in this area was abundant, and the well behind the village was full of water. No one could find the secret passage to the tomb, but it was nothing. Ten years ago, the groundwater here dried up and the wells dried up, so it was easy for people to find the secret passage. It is not easy to maintain the secret of the ancient tomb until now, and sooner or later the world will discover it. "

When Ye Xiaomu heard the last word, he was sure what he said was true. When he searched Fengmen Village on the Internet before, he saw someone analyzing the reasons why it became a deserted village. One of the most scientific guesses was that the local mountain stream had dried up, and even a nearby reservoir There was also no water, and the people in Fengmen Village had no water to use, so the whole village moved out of the mountain.

The truth of the matter from beginning to end was completely clear.

Su Yan took a deep breath, looked at Meng Zeyu with a complicated expression, and said: "I have a few questions to ask, first, didn't you say that there is an evil tomb guard here, why didn't we encounter it when we came down? Not to mention those water corpses, they can't go to the ground to harm people."

Meng Zeyu smiled and said, "You can ask the second question."

"Who are you, why are you so clear about all this?" Su Yan asked courageously, he realized that this matter was not that simple.

"Who am I?"

Meng Zeyu touched his chin with one hand, and said slowly: "As I said before, General Chen sacrificed himself at the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony, and the ceremony was presided over by the high priest below him. After everyone died, he He is also responsible for the aftermath. He is the only person who survived on the scene. He must live because firstly, the ancient tomb needs to be maintained and protected from being destroyed by others. Second, the purpose of the sacrifice is to Years later, when the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus comes, someone will be needed to guide her, and then an unsealing ceremony will be held.

This ceremony must be performed by a living person, so the high priest can marry a wife and have children. After he dies, his son will inherit his inheritance and continue to guard the ancient tomb. To put it bluntly, the high priest's family is this big tomb guardian. "

Hearing this, the three of Ye Xiaomu couldn't be more shocked in their hearts. Recalling the scenes they experienced after going to the tomb, Meng Zeyu was familiar with the road and opened the traps along the way, so that they came here safely all the way - so the journey was peaceful. It didn't make them feel adventurous, and it wasn't even as exciting as "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern".

But Ye Xiaomu believed that a large tomb like this must be full of traps and perilous, and they were able to come here without any surprises all the way under the leadership of Meng Zeyu.

"Are you the High Priest?" Ye Xiaomu said this, and everyone fell silent.

Meng Zeyu smiled lightly, and said: "That's true, but it is more accurate to say that I am the descendant of the high priest's family. It was my ancestor who presided over the sacrificial ceremony."

The three of Ye Xiaomu were silent. Although they had guessed about his identity before, they still felt a depressing shock when they were confirmed.

"But don't worry, I'm not as idiotic as they are. I'm loyal to the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus." Meng Zeyu snorted a little mockingly, and said: "My ancestors are also stupid enough. For the sake of the so-called saint, a generation Daishou is here, living a life of abstinence, looking for someone to pass on the family line, all in order to have future generations to carry out this mission.

However, this mission is destined to be ridiculous: they sacrificed the accumulation of the White Lotus Sect over the years, and so many lives, in order to be able to drive out the Tartars and overthrow the Qing Dynasty. As everyone knows, in the next few decades , the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. Even if the saintess comes out of the mountain, the meaning of the White Lotus Sect's struggle will be lost.

So my great-grandfather finally made a correct decision. He gave up living here until he died of old age, and moved to a nearby city to live a normal life while taking care of the ancient tomb. In my generation, I am no different from ordinary people. The so-called sacrificial ceremony of the saint is an ugly joke in my opinion, but my ancestors were in it and could not see the truth clearly, so it is not a kind of sadness. "

Meng Zeyu walked to the end of the warehouse, turned his head to look at the treasures in this room, with a deep look in his eyes. ()
