Yang Ji'an was silent for a while and then said, "According to what Chen Wen told the Jiuyi people at the time, in this secret passed down by their ancestors, Chen Xiang became Chen Jungui in front of the whole village."
Chen Xiang became Chen Jungui! ? Could it be that Chen Xiang ate the colorful fruit with blood
Chen Wen didn't know the answer to this question, and Yang Ji'an, the narrator, was even less likely to know. If he wanted to find out the secret, he had to find Chen Jungui himself.
Thinking of this, I also asked Yang Ji'an: "Could it be Chen Jungui, the mountain god of Huamu Village."
Yang Ji'an nodded and said: "Yes, Master Shi, that mountain god is Chen Jungui. According to what he told Jiu Dao people at the time, Chen Jungui started a massacre in the ancestral hall that day, and took Chen Fang, Chen Ju and others who participated in the drafting of the new clan rules. Several people were hacked and killed, and then he also demanded that the people in the village must strictly abide by the clan rules, otherwise they would all die, and Chen Jungui also disappeared from that day, but whenever someone violated the clan rules, it would die. There will be punishments for the people in the village."
"That is, since that time, Huamu Village has been cursed. No one can leave this village for more than five years. Over time, the people in our village have fallen into despair, and the clan rules have been implemented logically. ."
I asked Yang Ji'an again: "Then Chen Wen's family is a big family in Huamu Village, whose descendants are they? Are they Chen Jungui's?"
Yang Ji'an nodded again: "Yes, the Chen Wen family are the descendants of Chen Jungui, because Chen Jungui was thrown into the grave by his descendants, so his descendants cannot escape this curse."
I asked Yang Ji'an again: "Didn't the two brothers of Chen Wen escape from Huamu Village? What method did they use?"
Yang Ji'an said: "Chen Wen didn't say it, but I heard Jiuyi people mention it later, saying that those two people used the souls of their relatives to release the curse on themselves, which means that Chen Wen's two brothers went out to learn secretly. Some spells to lift the curse, and then they returned to the village and killed all their relatives, using the souls of their relatives to unlock the curse for themselves, escaping Chen Jungui's bondage."
At this point in the story, the origin of the bad habits of Huamu Village is completely clear, but these are all legends of a village, whether all of them are true, it is impossible to study.
Next, Yang Ji'an continued to tell us that after listening to Chen Wen's remarks, the Jiudao people made talismans at Chen Wen's house for three days, and then went to the top of the mountain to open the altar for three days. It is said that during those three days, after the The mountain often flashed and thundered, as if Jiuyi people were fighting with Chen Jungui.
Three days later, Jiuyi people went down the mountain, and there were many scars on his body. He said that he sealed up the evil things on the mountain, and he would also live in this Huamu Village for three years.
The Jiuyi people who lived in Huamu Village for three years would do a set of rituals in the village every day. No matter it was raining, snowing, cold winter or sweltering heat, he never stopped.
I asked Yang Ji'an out of curiosity, whether he knew why the Jiuyi people chose to seal rather than destroy that Chen Jungui, and Yang Ji'an said: "Jiuyi people seem to have mentioned something, he said that Chen Jungui has cultivated into a kind of spirit. , and is linked to the entire Huamu Village through a curse. If Chen Jungui is rashly hit, it will affect his entire body, and the entire Huamu Village will suffer because of this, so he can only choose to seal it. Jiuyi people also said that if If you want to destroy Chen Jungui, you must let Chen Jungui take the initiative to eliminate the curse on Huamu Village."
Before I could speak, Wang Junhui also asked next to him: "My master, oh, Jiuyiren, he lived in the village for three years, hasn't Chen Jungui's curse on the village been eliminated?"
Hearing that Wang Junhui is the descendant of Jiuyi people, Yang Ji'an also stood up excitedly and said: "Master Wang, are you a descendant of Jiuyi people? Great, his old man taught me some Taoism, although there is no formal Accept me as a disciple, but in my heart he has long been regarded as my respected teacher."
Yang Ji'an said this before answering Wang Junhui's question: "Jiuyi people lived for three years, but temporarily suppressed the curse's impact on Huamu Village, and did not cure it, and recently, for some unknown reason, Chen Jungui suddenly began to The event has started, and I don’t know how he managed to entrust the dream to all the people outside the village to let them come back to the village…”
Yang Xiaohui also added a sentence at this time: "Shi Yong, do you remember that I kept asking you, how many years can a person live at most? That's because I'm just curious about how Chen Jungui lived to this day, you guys When he entered the village, the thing he saw was Chen Jungui, why can he live forever?"
I don't have an accurate answer to this question for the time being, so I just said: "Didn't your grandfather also say it just now, that Chen Jungui is no longer a human being, but a spirit, and spirits will have a longer lifespan to some extent. ."
But a person has become an essence, so what kind of essence should it be!
Just when I was at a loss, Yang Ji'an said: "In those days, Jiuyi people said that Chen Jungui became an 'old man', saying that he was an elderly person. Because of some kind of mutation, three The soul will abandon the seven souls and continue to exist in a certain body, and such a body will only get older and older, but it will never die, and the age of the body is only superficial, but its bones and muscles will become old. It is extraordinarily strong, and even proficient in some strange spells…”
The old man, if it is as Yang Ji'an said, then the term old man is very appropriate.
As soon as I understood everything, I said, "Okay, you stay at home first, don't walk around, we will meet that Chen Jungui when we go out, and by the way, let's find out why it escaped from under the seal."
Just when I was about to go out, I thought of another question and asked Yang Ji'an: "By the way, when we first came, you said that your village would become a hell on earth in five days, how did you get this time? ?"
Yang Ji'an said, "After that Chen Jungui appeared a few days ago, he told us that we should go to the old ancestral hall in the village in ten days to get familiar with the clan rules again. If anyone doesn't go, they will be killed. Five days have passed and there are still five days left. , I thought, if we go to the ancestral hall to re-familiarize with the clan rules, is it that the curse of the bad habits of the year has been lifted and the torment of our Huamu Village will start again?"
"In the past few days, many people in our village chose to run out, but all of them were driven back by Chen Jungui and a few little ghosts, and it also warned us that if we ran again, it would start killing people. "
I thought about it and asked, "So, this is the reason why the phone in your village can't get through?"
Yang Ji'an nodded and said: "Yes, it's all the ghost of Chen Jungui, and our village is located in the deep mountains, and the signal is not good, so even if someone can't get through to our phone, they won't care so much, so I know There is no abnormality in our village today, except for you and Master Wang."
After talking to Yang Ji'an a few more words, Wang Junhui and I chose to go out to meet the old man first, and try how powerful it is. When we went out, Yang Xiaohui also told us: "Be careful."
When Wang Junhui and I went out again, the sky had completely darkened. It was already ten in the evening, and the sky was covered by dark clouds, so the whole village seemed to be in the middle of the night.
The lights of many households were turned on, but there was no one moving around in the whole village, not even the sound of human voices, dogs barking, birds chirping, and insects chirping, and the whole village fell into a dead silence.
As we walked towards the entrance of the village, Wang Junhui asked me, "How are you going to beat that old man?"
After thinking about it, I said, "First, use the Xuanwu Seal of the Sifang Mudra to fight against it, and try the depth of its Taoism. If it is too powerful, use the magic technique."
Wang Junhui glanced at me and asked me, "Can you know the four-square handprint of our Kunlun?"
I just said, "Almost."
When I said that, I didn't think much in my heart, but Wang Junhui suddenly started to compete with me, and he said to me: "I'll take the lead in a while, I said that when we take up the case together again, our Kunlun will be. I won't lose to you, I will let you see our Kunlun orthodox Taoist magic power today."
Since Wang Junhui was going to take the lead, I didn't stop him. It was just that I could take the opportunity to paddle, observe the strengths and weaknesses of the old man's offense and defense, and collect more information for himself when he started to fight.
Just when I was thinking about it, the old voice when we entered the village sounded again: "How old are you..."
Well, we're about to see the real master!
