The village is not small, with about a hundred households, all of which are ordinary people. When Lin Tian, Five Elements Crocodile and Little Taichu came to this place, they only glanced at the village briefly, and their eyes fell straight on the Fanghuai tree on the west side of the village.
In the woods.
The locust tree forest is not very big, with a radius of about tens of feet, and the locust trees inside are not very tall either. They have green leaves, pale white locust flowers, and a faint fragrance floating nearby.
The faint sound of the piano floated out from the forest.
Quiet, peaceful.
Listening to the sound of the piano, Lin Tian just felt comfortable all over, because the sound of the piano here was clearer than what he heard at a very far distance. At this time, he felt that the vibration of the soul was getting stronger, and the soul power was increasing on its own.
.
"Go in and have a look."
He said, calling Five Element Crocodile and Little Taichu to descend from the void, walk on foot, and soon entered the locust tree forest.
A scorching sun hangs in the sky, and the sunlight penetrates the gaps between the branches and leaves of the locust trees, projecting dots of light on the ground. As soon as one person and two animals enter the locust forest, they feel a sense of coolness.
It feels comfortable, and the piano sound lingering in it is clearer and melodious than when it was outside.
Lin Tian, Five Elements Crocodile and Little Taichu walked into it. Listening to the music, they all felt indescribably comfortable, as if the Tao was surrounding them. Listening to the music, they moved toward the locust tree where the music was clearer.
Lin Geng walked inside.
The Sophora grove is not big, but in the blink of an eye, they walked to the center of the Sophora grove, where the sound of the piano was the clearest.
In other words, the sound of the piano comes from this place.
However, when they came here and found the origin of the sound of the piano, one person and two beasts couldn't help but change their colors.
"this……"
Lin Tian looked ahead and opened his mouth, but could not say anything else.
Looking around, there is a small tomb located in the center of the Sophora grove, and the sound of the piano can be heard from the location of the small tomb.
"A tomb?"
The five-element crocodile was surprised.
Even little Taichu couldn't help but widen his big watery eyes at this time.
They heard the sound of the piano in a very far distance and felt that the sound was unusual. Then they chased it all the way to this place, but they didn't expect that the place where the sound of the piano originated... turned out to be a simple small tomb.
"Who?"
An old voice sounded, and an old man with gray hair came from outside the forest.
The old man was leaning on a cane and looked to be over seventy years old. There was no real energy or divine power fluctuation outside his body.
Apparently, just an ordinary person.
"Who are you?"
The old man came closer, looked at Lin Tian and asked. At the same time, the old man also saw the Five Element Crocodile and Little Taichu next to Lin Tian, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, because at this time, the Five Element Crocodile and Little Taichu didn't speak.
It's just that the Five Element Crocodile and Little Taichu are the pets carried by Lin Tian. After all, many people in this world have pets.
Lin Tian saw the old man's eyes glancing at the Five Element Crocodile and Little Taichu, and he could naturally understand that the old man regarded the Five Element Crocodile and Little Taichu as his pets. He winked at the Five Element Crocodile and Little Taichu, indicating that they would temporarily play the role.
As a pet, don't scare this ordinary old man. He stepped forward and said politely: "Hello, old man, I'm not a suspicious person. I just heard a nice piano sound coming from nearby, so I came here.
.”
"What?!" Hearing Lin Tian's words, the old man was shocked: "You...can still hear the sound of the piano in this forest?"
Lin Tian nodded and was a little curious: "Old man, do you know about the sound of the piano? Can you tell the younger generation about it?"
The old man used the word "huan" when asking him, obviously he knew the kind of music in this place.
Next to him, Five Element Crocodile and Little Taichu did not speak, but a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes, and their gazes fell directly on the old man.
"I know, how can I not know this? This is something that has been passed down from generation to generation in our village. Everyone in the village knows it."
The old man nodded.
When Lin Tian heard this, he immediately knew where the old man was from. He thought it was the small village near Huailin.
However, he didn't care about such things. What he cared about was what the old man knew about the music in this place. He asked: "Well, can you tell me about the music in this place?"
convenient?"
The sound of the piano here is so unusual. Now that the old man knows about it, he naturally wants to find out.
The old man looked at the curious expression on Lin Tian's face, but did not refuse: "This is not inconvenient."
When Lin Tian heard this, he immediately stepped forward and very politely helped the old man sit down on a bluestone inside the Sophora grove.
"Please tell me."
He said politely.
The old man looked at Lin Tian and nodded with a smile. Such polite young people are rare nowadays.
"Old man, I also heard about these things from my deceased grandfather. Well, of course, the old man's grandfather also heard it from the people of the previous generation, because those things are so long ago that it is difficult to explain clearly.
What time period did it happen?" The old man said: "It is said that a long time ago, there was a witch who lived in the village. He always had a very gentle smile. He was not originally from the village, but seemed to come from other places.
Place to move in.”
"I heard from grandpa that there were many diseases and epidemics in those years. People in the village often got sick and died without good medical treatment. But since the witch moved into the village, whenever anyone in the village gets sick again, regardless of any disease, the witch will
They can all be cured very easily. If the villagers have any other troubles, the witch will always come to help and solve them easily, and she never charges any compensation."
The old man said that although he had never met the witch himself, there was a kind of respect on his face and eyes, and then he showed a look of regret and said: "It's just that I heard that the witch was not here.
I stayed in the village for as long as I could, probably a dozen years or so, and then I passed away."
Lin Tian knew that the word "witch" was a sacred honorific in ancient times, meaning a woman who could communicate with the gods.
At this time, when the old man said these words, he did not mention the matter of Qin Yin, but he also knew that the old man would not mention the "Master Witch" for no reason when he asked for advice about Qin Yin.
"Old man, does the sound of the piano here have something to do with the witch?"
he asked.
The old man nodded and said: "I heard from my grandpa that the witch knows many things. During those ten years, whenever she had free time, she would always play the piano in this locust forest."
After saying that, the old man stood up, walked step by step to the small tomb in the center of the locust tree, bowed respectfully, and then continued: "This tomb is the tomb of the witch, and the place where the witch played the piano was also
It's right here. It is said that in the past, every time the witch played the piano, people in the village would come to listen. Every time after listening, they would become very energetic and all fatigue would be swept away."
"Are you saying that the sound of the piano that I hear now is the sound of the witch playing the piano a long time ago?"
Lin Tian was moved.
"Yes." The old man nodded and said: "In fact, it is said that not long after the witch passed away, the music of the piano could occasionally be heard in the locust forest. The villagers often came here to worship and listen to the remaining music.
However, as time went by, no one could hear the sound of the piano anymore."
This old man is an ordinary mortal. After someone dies, the sound of playing the piano still remains in the space. Even if you have never experienced such a thing personally, you will generally be surprised if you hear it from other people.
, but this old man did not. When he mentioned such things, he only had reverence and respect on his face. And this was entirely due to his deep respect for the witch he had never met before.
"After that year, generations of people in the village continued, and no one could hear the sound of the piano left by the witch in the locust tree. I didn't expect that you could still hear it."
The old man looked at the witch's tomb in front of him, then looked at Lin Tian. At this time, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lin Tian was also surprised, because of the old man's words, he was very surprised at the moment.
Based on the old man's demeanor, he could believe that what the old man said about "the witch" definitely happened, and was not a legend fabricated by the people in the village.
At the same time, according to the old man's words, he could also imagine that the witch lived probably at least a hundred thousand years ago. She played the piano here so many years ago, and the sound of the piano still remained and had not completely dissipated.
He has been floating in this place, so that he can still hear it now, and he has the feeling that his soul is trembling and getting stronger. Then, the original witch is definitely not an ordinary person, but a super powerful existence, absolutely far away
Far beyond his current level.
How could such a powerful person come to such an ordinary village? Moreover, people who have surpassed his current level are already immortal under normal circumstances and live the same life as heaven and earth. How could he be in this ordinary village?
Silent death and disappearance in a small village?
"How did that lady witch pass away?"
he asked the old man.
"It is said that he died of a strange disease. Before his death, he would always cough up blood." The old man sighed, looked at the small tomb in front of him and said: "I heard from the ancestors in the village that the master witch has unparalleled medical skills. No matter what happens to anyone in the village,
Diseases and epidemics can be cured quickly, but when you are sick, you are unable to do anything. It seems to be true to the saying that has been circulated that doctors cannot heal themselves."
Lin Tian was moved. He often coughed up blood before his death. Was the witch seriously injured?
The faint sound of the piano surrounded his ears, and he looked at the small tomb in front of him. On the tombstone were engraved the words "The Soul of the Witch". Then, the next moment, when he looked at the tombstone, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, because the tombstone
The material is not an ordinary stone, it is pyrite. This stone is very hard. With the strength of ordinary mortals, even with the help of iron tools, they should not be able to carve words on it. Even ordinary monks in the Sea of Consciousness Realm are very difficult.
Difficult to do.
"This tomb was built by the people in the village for the witch?"
he asked.
"Well, that's not true." The old man shook his head and said, "It is said that a snow wolf buried the lady witch, and the tombstone was also erected by that snow wolf."
