Evil Spirit Book

When I took a closer look, I was shocked. On the ground, there was a layer of gray powder that was very similar to the wooden board. At this moment, most of the powder was on my feet, and when I smelled it carefully, this powder seemed to have a faint smell. aroma.

I suddenly understood, and couldn't help but feel startled, it seems that I underestimated the people here, he was guarding against us.

Is this what the ghost Chen said?

But at this moment, I had already stepped on those ashes. In order not to arouse suspicion, I went out and urinated on a tree outside the corridor, so as to cover up my purpose of getting up in the middle of the night.

When having breakfast the next day, Qizhu said that Manda didn’t have time to summon us for the time being, so that we could wander around the village freely. I asked Manda if he was usually busy, and Qizhu said, “Most of the time, I’m not busy. , We seldom have other things happening here, but three days later is our annual biggest sacrifice here, and there are many things to do."

Sacrifice?

I was quite curious, and asked him which god he was offering sacrifices to, Qi Zhu paused, and then said: "It's not a god, it's a lake." Immediately afterwards, he seemed to organize his words, and said: "The big lake you saw before, In the end, it flowed into the groundwater and flowed into our stockade. There is a huge cave in the south of the stockade. Every year when we offer sacrifices, we select the most powerful warriors in the stockade to enter the cave. It is said that the hole is connected to the outside. Those who go out of the cave are the winners of the annual sacrifice, and can gain high prestige."

There are some problems with what he said, and I couldn't help but said: "What is said... It seems that you are also hearing it? Since it is held every year, has no one succeeded?"

Kizuki replied with certainty: "No."

I couldn't help but feel strange, as the saying goes, if there is no wind, there must be a reason for the wind. Since there will be such a legend left in Nayi Village, maybe someone once reached the outside world through that cave, so there is such a passage. But why did the later ones fail?

Just as I was about to ask a few more questions, Qi Zhu said that he was going to prepare for the competition, and asked me if I would like to visit with me. Of course, I wish I could have this opportunity to visit in a swaggering manner. I don't care at all. If something really happens to my uncle this time, what's the meaning of Shi Shu to me?

I followed Qizhu and walked all the way south. During this period, I discovered a very strange phenomenon.

Many houses are locked, and the paint on them is mottled and peeled off. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time. On the carvings of the doors, you can still see the accumulation of dirt. Only occasionally can you see clean rooms. It seems that this village, Many homes are vacant.

I recalled Qizhu's explanation at the time, that there were only about two hundred people in this stockade, that is to say, the area of ​​the houses in the stockade far exceeded the living capacity, and the houses here were beautifully built, not just a few The hanging buildings that can be erected with wood are very particular about the layout. You can see a tower every [-] meters, and the waterwheel pumping water slowly turns, and you can see the staggered lanes at intervals.

Obviously, the original design here was designed with reference to the large-scale gathering villages in ancient times, and what is more special is that its style has strong Han characteristics, but at the same time, it also has the characteristics of ethnic minorities.

I don't know much about ethnic minorities, so I can't see the specific style of that ethnic group. I just vaguely feel that it is a bit like the Xishuangbanna area and a bit like the Vietnam area, which is very messy.

The journey to the south was quite long. Along the way, I met a few young people on the same road. Among them were two men and a woman. I didn’t know the two men. The skin is thin, and the two big eyes are black and bright, very dexterous.

This girl's name is Die Cai, which means a girl as beautiful as a butterfly. She is very cheerful and generous, and she probably rarely sees outsiders. First, she enthusiastically chatted with me about the beautiful scenery nearby, and I chatted with her about city life. After a while, It's just that the elder brother is long and the younger sister is short.

Along the way, I found another very special place. There are no children in this place, which is a big strange thing. I asked Die Cai: "Sister Die, I walked for a long time, why didn't I see any children?"

"Children?"|Die Cai was stunned for a moment, and said, "They all went to study outside the mountain."

I choked and couldn't help exclaiming: "Reading?"

Die Cai smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, we must keep pace with the times. No matter how hard it is, we can't suffer children, and no matter how poor we can't be educated, otherwise how can we know Chinese?" I was surprised, and said: "So you Did you go out and read?"

"I've been there, I've been there." Die Cai said, "It's boring outside." I don't agree with her words. Although the scenery here is indeed called a paradise, there is no electricity, no TV, no Computers, no restaurants, two hundred people coming and going, life is no fun at all, staying for a few days as a vacation is okay, but staying for a lifetime, I will suffocate to death. ,

If I have never been out since I was born, then I can understand, but for those who have been sent outside to receive education and have been exposed to big cities, they are willing to gather here in this primitive state of existence, It was simply an incredible thing.

What is it here that attracts them?

Mountain?water?I can't imagine it.

Probably because my shocked expression was too obvious, and then Die Cai began to tell me about her going out to study. I was really impressed, because this girl is actually a graduate of the History Department of Hangzhou University.

Fuck me, the world is crazy.

Unwilling to give up, I grasped the question inside and said, "So you also have ID cards?"

Die Cai said yes, but they did not register their real estate properties. Most of their ID cards were handled in the form of floating population.

I thought to myself, no wonder there is no obstacle in communicating with these mountain people. After working for a long time, the experience is the same as mine?

After careful questioning, I found that most of them have read books. Qizhu graduated from the business department in 09. When I heard it, my glasses became red. Such a promising red book is much better than my psychiatrist certificate. Woah It's such a pity here.

But people have their own ambitions. I can see that they like their homeland very much, so they can't say anything to persuade them.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, a large lake appeared in the distance. To be precise, it was more like a river covered by trees. It was very long at first glance, and at the end was a large oval cave.Because the distance is too far, I can't see clearly.

Qizhu's so-called preparation refers to practicing water skills. There are many bamboo rafts parked on the lake, which are more standard than our rafts.At this moment, there are already many young people practicing water skills, including Bada and Doro I know, and I waved my hands to greet them.

Not long after, Bada and Doro anchored on the bamboo raft, and Bada gave me a warm hug as soon as he got off the shore, and asked me if I was used to living here, and how it was compared to the city, and I said, "Very good, Beautiful mountains and rivers are even more beautiful." Bada laughed straight, and asked me if I would like to play a few games on the bamboo raft. I looked at the lake, and their training methods were very interesting, divided into different events.

The first is the ongoing project of Bada. There are many bamboo rafts in it, but there are only four or five of them. The goal of the task is to get out of the many bamboo rafts, so that your own raft cannot touch the surrounding bamboo rafts. raft, but other bamboo rafts can be opened with a penny.

After Bada finished speaking, Qizhu explained: "The structure inside the cave is very complicated, which can train the sensitivity of dodging. Look at that man..." He pointed to a big man who was practicing bamboo rafting in the center of the lake, and said: "We are here No one has ever found an exit, so the specification has dropped, and whoever can get in the deepest is the winner, and he was last year's champion."

Looking in the direction of his finger, there is indeed a taller man there, who is manipulating the bamboo raft to shuttle sensitively among the many bamboo rafts, as if those obstacles do not exist.

I have no interest in going down to play, but I couldn't hold back Bada's enthusiasm, so I finally managed to get on the bamboo raft and practiced some experience

In the end, I felt quite bored, so Die Cai offered to take me around, my heart moved, I pointed to the place where the cloud of haze was surging, and asked what it was, Die Cai's face immediately changed, and she pulled my hand violently Come down, said: "That place can't be pointed at."

I choked. When I was a child, my uncle often lied to me, saying that children can’t point to the moon, and their ears will be cut off if they point at it. It’s not the moon, why can’t they point at it?I gestured to Die Cai with my eyes, she swallowed, pointed to a big tree by the lake, motioned to sit there and said.
