According to Chujiu, a great power from a certain era once designed this tunnel to seal a hungry ghost.
Hungry ghosts are not among the six realms, but belong to a special realm, and their lives are long.
There is no way to kill it completely, so it can only build this special cave to prevent it from returning to the hungry ghost world, hoping to trap it in the human world for thousands of years.
Chujiu could not determine the time when he used stone chess pieces to seal the cave for the second time. This was beyond the scope of Chujiu's knowledge. In short, it was not a Taoist method that he knew. It might be a technique from other sects. This is unknown.
Chujiu clearly tells us that the last time the cave was reinforced and sealed was before the Ming Dynasty.
According to the records in Taoist books and the master's statement, silver runes have not appeared in the world since the Ming Dynasty.
My uncle once saw the silver rune appearing on the hand of the master. In the words of the master, this was something from before the Ming Dynasty. It was only through special means that it appeared in this time and space.
To this day, because several mountain rangers were greedy for the treasures that might exist underground, they moved the stone chess piece away and damaged the silver runes, ultimately causing the magic to seal the cave to fail.
At the last moment of its life, the hungry ghost in the cave rushed out of the cave and sucked the blood of the yak in the nearby courtyard. It seemed that the energy could not sustain it and escaped back to the hungry ghost world, so it killed four more mountain rangers.
As for the progress of the entire mission, it seemed that Chujiu guessed the word hungry ghost on the train, which meant that his speech was destined to be the most convincing in the entire process.
After going down the mountain, we again went to the home of the villager who hosted us before.
The owner, who was cooking, saw the three people rushing towards his house. He thought they had encountered bandits, so he was so frightened that he grabbed a fire pestle and placed it in front of him vigilantly.
When we saw that it was the three of us rushing towards the water tank, we instantly understood something. He kindly reminded us that the more thirsty we are, the less likely we are to drink water.
This time on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, he not only gave the host another twenty yuan, but also left his coarse cloth traveling bag with the host so that he could carry dry food and sundries when he went up the mountain in the future.
The host thanked her again and again. When Chujiu told her not to be polite and that she would live in a village in the mountains, the host was stunned for a moment. Then she held Chujiu’s hand and asked her mother-in-law to kill the other big rooster as well.
"The people who come down from the mountain are all from my own family, why should I be my client? It's so embarrassing to pay so much. You never charge us a penny for the herbal medicines you usually send. Yesterday, people from the village on the mountain came to deliver herbal medicines to the village.
He even helps people see their doctors."
There are many Miao villages in the mountains on the border of Sichuan. They seem to have reached some kind of agreement and will always go down the mountain from time to time to help nearby villagers. This is why Chujiu gets special respect when he says that he is a mountain person.
"What? Are you from Tuhai Village? Immortal Gila is the leader of your village, right?"
As soon as the owner heard that Chujiu came from Tuhai Village and was the grandson of his uncle, he gave Chujiu all the spatulas in his hands. He asked Chujiu to help keep the vegetables in the pot from burning, and he ran out of the yard.
.
When the host came back again, he was carrying a bunch of sausages, a bunch of bacon and a small bundle of garlic.
"I went to my eldest son's house. The sausages and bacon that were pickled years ago were hung on the roof of his room for ventilation. Now they taste just right. There is also a jar of Taibai Sanjie on the roof of the room. If you are not drunk tonight, you will all look down on me.
I!"
After a while, the neighbor next door also came over with two plates of cold dishes.
It turned out that he happened to meet the owner of the house who was out of town in a hurry. He asked curiously and learned that the grandson of the immortal who had saved their village was eating in the next room. He happily said that he was making two special cold dishes.
"I finally have a chance to thank you. Your grandfather solved the drinking water problem for us and left in a hurry. The well at the entrance of the village is where your grandfather found it. Everyone who dug out the water, come and drink!"
After eating the meal for more than two hours, a ten-pound jar of high-strength liquor bottomed out, and the owner and neighbor fell to the ground unconscious.
The hostess greeted us and sent us to the bed. Then she pointed to another room downstairs and told us that it was her youngest son's room. There was a big bed in it and she asked us to sleep there for the night.
When I woke up the next morning, Chujiu asked me for twenty yuan and put it under my pillow.
While drinking and chatting the night before, we learned that this jar of wine was originally sealed and was intended to be reserved for this year’s New Year.
The ninth day of the lunar month told us that most families in the villages here are very poor and can only drink wine once a year during the Chinese New Year.
This kind of Shixian Taibai alcoholic beverage is considered to be a very high-grade drink. Usually, only when something important happens, will one go to the supply and marketing cooperative in a town dozens of kilometers away to get grain in exchange for some. Most families just exchange for ordinary sorghum.
liquor.
We drank a whole jar of wine yesterday, which means they may not have any wine to drink this year.
During breakfast, the male protagonist’s family had not yet woken up, so we ate breakfast in a hurry and left the village.
Fortunately, not long after we left the village, we met an ox cart going to the town to buy fertilizer, which saved us a few hours of walking.
By the time we returned to the Chongqing Public Security Bureau, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
Chujiu was afraid of meeting the deputy director surnamed Ma again and heard him rambling non-stop, so he decided to let Wan Li go in alone to handle the matter and return the gun.
"Guo Guo, let's sit over there and watch."
Chujiu pointed to the stone steps not far from the entrance of the Public Security Bureau. The stone steps were facing the road. It was time to get off work and there was a constant flow of people on the road.
The word "hunting" was taught to us in the dormitory on the ninth day of the lunar month. It once became a favorite mantra of Zhang Feng, Liu Yang and Zhiyong. Whenever they had free time, they would shout to go to the playground to visit.
"Dawang" literally means to look at and wait and see, but in actual operation it means "to look at the situation while feeling passionate", that is, to weigh.
Dawang not only means "observation", but also "exploration", "reconnaissance" and "understanding".
In Chongqing, when many people gather together to watch something lively, people will always say to "go and have a look".
However, in the eyes of Zhang Feng and the three of them, "watching" is purely about looking at beautiful female classmates.
Often on the way back to the dormitory after class in the afternoon, the three of them, who had nothing to do, did not need to speak at all. They made eye contact and soon gained mutual recognition. They shouted "Look" in unison and ran to the school playground.
There are many benches for students to rest near the school playground. The three of them always choose an intersection with the most people passing by, sit on the bench, and stare at the passing female classmates intently.
So after turning off the lights at night, the three of them lay in bed and started discussing the beauty of a certain female classmate, which became their most exciting thing.
A female classmate had a lot of fun talking about what kind of clothes she wore with what kind of shoes today, because a certain piece of clothing was not matched properly and did not show off her figure.
Of course, in the eyes of Zhang Feng and others, the best season for hunting is summer. Female students wear very few clothes, especially in the windy summer.
Many years later, Zhang Feng, who already had his own wedding company and became the boss, would still sit on the steps of a certain street and be in a daze for hours.
I returned to my residence drunk at night, and told me with a mouth full of alcohol that although times have progressed a lot, the trust between people has decreased a lot.
I asked him why he said that, and Zhang Feng replied that in the school playground, the wind blew through the skirts of female students, and what they saw were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, but now they are only black and flesh-colored.
I always smiled and ignored it, until one time Zhang Feng rushed to the bathroom after entering the door, vomited while holding the toilet, and cursed which bastard invented safety pants.
Seeing the tears in his eyes, I realized that he, like me, misses Zhiyong and Liu Yang who are far apart.
In Zhang Feng's last year at school, he met a school girl from Xinjiang at a New Year's Day party. The two almost fell in love at first sight and soon began to fall in love.
This love lasted until the girl graduated, so Zhang Feng did not choose to go back to his hometown to find a job. Instead, he stayed in Chongqing and found a decent job.
In the end, the girl returned to Xinjiang after graduation because she could not resist the demands of her family, and the two separated. After that, Zhang Feng never had a serious relationship again, although there were always different girls around him. Of course, this was
Later words.
"Guo Guo, actually among the four of you in the dormitory, you are the one who looks at me the most. You always stare at people quietly."
Chujiu pointed at a fashionable and beautiful girl passing by and said that she must find a wife like this in the future.
I asked him with a smile if he meant that the boy was not ready to become an immortal and wanted to be a layman and see all the prosperity in the world. Chujiu curled his lips, then he would find a more beautiful girl to be his mother-in-law in the next life, and she must give birth to a fat baby, not like him.
, I don’t look good if I lose weight.
I don’t know since when, I like to look at people, looking at people with different expressions. I always feel that the person I meet in my heart suddenly appears in front of me.
"On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, you will definitely meet a girl you like in the future."
Chujiu curled his lips and said, no wonder I have no talent for Taoism. It turns out that I have no wisdom at all.
"What are you doing here? I've been looking for you for a long time, get up quickly, it's time to set off! There is a new mission, go to Yunnan!"
Wan Li trotted up to me and Chujiu, looking a little anxious.
Wan Li returned the firearm to the Public Security Bureau and borrowed a phone to report his plans to return to Mr. Xu.
The person who answered the phone turned out to be another colleague in the department. That colleague told Wan Li that when Mr. Xu told Wan Li to contact the department, he asked Wan Li to take us to another route to Yunnan.
There was an emergency in Yunnan. The colleague revealed that it might be a level 3A mission. Mr. Xu had already taken a plane to Kunming to wait for us.
Wan Li recorded Mr. Xu’s address in Kunming, hung up the phone and rushed out of the police station. He didn’t see any of us. Unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, we actually sat on the roadside chatting.
"Yunnan? I haven't been to Yunnan yet. I was right. You can travel there."
Chujiu was dancing excitedly, and Wan Li had already stopped a taxi.
