The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 38 Three Kings Ditch

After listening to what Ma Po said, Xia Xiangxi suddenly realized that the creature was the famous monster in the idiom "innuendo" she had been familiar with for a long time!

Ma Po said that scorpions are not ghosts, that is, they have the same virtues as ghosts, and they just like to harm people in secret.She had taken Aban's soul into the paulownia tree before, and the paulownia would be harmed by Aban's yin energy.After a few years, after the resentment and evil energy in Aban's body is purified by the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, it will be reincarnated, and then Paulownia will be able to bloom.This creature is different, it is a demon, and the potted flower can still bloom, and it will bloom very beautifully. When the monster's evil spirit gradually disappears, the flower will become normal.

Only then did Xia Xiangxi realize that Grandpa probably misunderstood Ma Po.Ma Po ingests ghosts into the vegetation. Although she is domineering, her purpose is also pure and kind.She still thought it was a good idea.

After coming here, Xia Xiangxi will also go to the mountains to collect some water ghosts and grass ghosts, and when he comes back, he will eat some ordinary flowers and plants, and the flowers and plants will grow seductive flowers the next day.

Xia Xiangxi also knew this, there are many ghosts and evil spirits around Xiaomiao village, so people from other villages are afraid to come here.

Ma Po said that Xiaomiao Village is located deep in the mountains and has always been a treasured land of geomantic omen.Several generations of Miao kings were buried near here. The ancestors of Xiaomiao Village used to be responsible for guarding those tombs. One person can hardly defeat a thousand troops. In every dynasty and generation, there are always countless tomb robbers or Han emperors. Entering here, thinking of stealing the treasures in the tombs, so later King Miao sent wizards to guard here, using witchcraft and poisonous insects to scare away those people with ulterior motives.On the other hand, due to the many mausoleums built, the water and soil in this area are extremely cloudy, which has become one of the reasons why there are many evildoers.

Ma Po specifically told Xia Xiangxi that there are a few places where she can't go.Xia Xiangxi always remembers to avoid those places when going to the mountains.

One day, she told her grandpa and went to the mountains to catch ghosts again.

When she left the village and was about to enter a small valley, she saw a familiar figure. She thought it was a hallucination at first, and then ignored it and continued walking.She didn't expect that person to call her name, so she stood still, and when that person got closer, she was sure that that person was really He Xuan.She was overjoyed, thinking that this He Xuan was really a kind person, so he came to see her and grandpa so soon?
He Xuan didn't expect to see Xia Xiangxi here, so he was so excited for a moment, looking at Xia Xiangxi, he didn't know what to say?

It was Xia Xiangxi who broke the silence and embarrassment with a "puchi" laugh, and asked He Xuan first, and then He Xuan laughed, and finally remembered the topic.

He Xuan said: "This time I have a mission to enter the mountain, so I took this opportunity to visit you and grandpa. How are you and grandpa?"

Xia Xiangxi smiled and said, "Is everything all right?"

He Xuan responded with a "hmm", saying that he would feel relieved.

Xia Xiangxi asked: "What task do you have? If I can spare some time, I will take you back to the village and cook some dishes for you!"

He Xuan replied: "An ancient tomb was discovered in the mountains in this area. Many experts from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage have come to survey the ancient tomb. The next step is to prepare for the excavation. Such a project of excavating cultural relics usually takes three to five years. We can’t finish everything. Our engineering army is responsible for assisting those experts and professors, so we have to stay here for a long time! How is it? Do you welcome me?” When he said this, He Xuan’s eyes sparkled like jewels Staring at Xia Xiangxi intently, it seemed like two fires were burning there.

Xia Xiangxi's heart was burned by He Xuan's fire-like eyes.There was a thump in my heart, and my face almost turned red.Girls are always reserved, she deliberately smiled and said, "Is that so? Of course I welcome you! It's a pity, grandpa and I can't stay here for a few more days?"

He Xuan's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he hurriedly asked: "Are you leaving here? When are you leaving! Unexpectedly, I came, but you are leaving..." The end of the sentence was full of bitterness and bitterness!

Seeing He Xuan's appearance, Xia Xiangxi was a little moved.But thinking about it, she and grandpa won't be able to stay here for long after all. When the person grandpa is waiting for comes back, she and grandpa will go back to the north.Since parting is inevitable, sooner or later there is no difference!Thinking of this, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Xia Xiangxi turned to He Xuan and asked, which valley are they stationed in?
He Xuan forced a smile and said, "It's in Sanwanggou on the mountain road more than ten miles away from here."

Xia Xiangxi was taken aback. It was nothing else. Among the places that Ma Po told her she couldn't go to, the one she couldn't go to was the Sanwanggou.

He Xuan was going to visit his grandfather in the village, but Xia Xiangxi said, "You better not go to the village, that Huanhuan won't come out for a while, I'm afraid that if you show up, you'll recruit her again. I'll go with my grandfather some other day Just look at you!"

He Xuan stood there stunned, thinking that Xia Xiangxi was trying to drive him out, and the lonely look of a young man was truly pitiful.When he realized that Xia Xiangxi wanted to follow him to Sanwanggou, he smiled happily.

Xia Xiangxi asked He Xuan to wait for her first, and she went back to the village to talk to her grandfather, and asked Ma Po for some charms and amulets.When Ma Po saw that Xia Xiangxi wanted these things, she realized that something was wrong, and asked her why. At first Xia Xiangxi was afraid that Ma Po would stop her, but Ma Po thought about it for a while, and said that she would take good care of her grandfather, so It's not a problem for Xia Xiangxi to go for a few days.

Seeing that Ma Po, who usually told her not to get close to Sanwanggou, did not support her to go to Sanwanggou this time, Xia Xiangxi couldn't help but wonder.Ma Po said that she would know the reason in the future.Xia Xiangxi was also familiar with Ma Po's temper, so she stopped asking.

Xia Xiangxi and He Xuan are both young people. Even if the mountain road is difficult to walk, it can't stop the young legs and feet. They will reach the Sanwanggou in an hour or two.

The Sanwanggou is surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side, it is a treasure land in Fengshui.There is a hill in the center, but it is not an ordinary hill, but a hill of soil cultivated. Its shape is also the same as the rice bucket used in the countryside, but it is the same as the rice bucket with the mouth turned backwards on the ground.

He Xuan pointed to the big mound like a bucket of rice, and started gossiping about those tomb-robbing novels, saying that the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is really a genius. He not only created such wonderful tomb-robbing novels, but also created many images. Vivid vocabulary, such as "Inverted Dou", he has never seen an ancient tomb before. In the past, it was really like an upside-down rice bucket.

Xia Xiangxi smiled and agreed with He Xuan's words.

A young soldier saw He Xuan came back with a pretty girl, so he trotted over to say hello.He called He Xuan "Political Commissar", and smiled friendlyly at Xia Xiangxi, and asked He Xuan, "Is this our future sister-in-law?" Xia Xiangxi's face turned red with one sentence, and she was like a familiar woman. Like an apple.

He Xuan chuckled, and didn't explain anything, it was a tacit acquiescence, making Xia Xiangxi anxious for something.She couldn't help but want to explain, but she was afraid of what would happen to "there is no silver 300 taels here", so she stared at He Xuan with some resentment, and didn't dare to say more.

That soldier was called Xiao Mo, he was quite talkative, and he was acquainted with people, so he took the initiative to introduce Xia Xiangxi about his hometown and residence without being asked.Xia Xiangxi saw that the little soldier had a rectum, and he had a good impression of him, and he talked a lot after coming and going.

He Xuan also had work to do, so he temporarily asked that little Mo to greet Xia Xiangxi on his behalf.In this way, Xiao Mo talked more. First of all, he praised He Xuan's many benefits to Xia Xiangxi, and said how He Xuan was hardworking. Originally, the conditions in this mountain were extremely harsh. Unless there was a mission, who would take the initiative to invite Ying to this where to come?He Xuan is different, go where there is suffering, dare to be a screw of socialism, this spirit is really for them soldiers to learn from.

Xia Xiangxi felt a "plop" in his heart, as if a stone had been thrown into it.If Xiao Mo didn't say it, how would she know that He Xuan was willing to transfer here to work?Thinking of He Xuan's sour words before, he came, but she was leaving... I couldn't express the feeling in my heart.

Xiao Mo finished talking about He Xuan's topic, and in order to find a topic, he introduced this ancient tomb to Xia Xiangxi.

Xiao Mo said: "Don't look at the luxuriant trees on the cemetery, there is not a single weed growing under the trees. When we first came here, we thought it was the nearby villagers who were picking up the grass on the ground. I went home to feed the livestock, but I don’t know that’s not the case. Not only are there no weeds, but there are no insects and ants here. No, let alone an ant nest!"

Xia Xiangxi was startled, thinking how could such a strange thing happen?As soon as she came here, she really felt a chill.It's almost early summer this season, but when I entered here, I felt extremely cold, and my bones ached from the cold.Even in winter, there will be no such feeling, which is enough to prove that this is a place with the most yin.

Xiao Mo also said that the rammed earth here is extremely hard, and the engineer shovel can't dig it at all, and even the iron pick can break the iron pick.At first, even the experts thought that they must have encountered metal, but after peeling off the floating soil, there were no scratches similar to metal, but some white rammed earth like glutinous rice grains.They are archaeologists now, and they are not doing damage like tomb robbers, so they can't use extremely destructive explosives.Later, they wanted to avoid this place and find another way to dig, but they didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

It was a professor who found a way to solve the problem by corroding a small part of the rammed earth with chemicals with strong acid corrosion, which solved the problem.However, the progress of the project has become very difficult. After more than a month of digging, the entrance to the Diling has not been found yet.
