Amazing Witch Doctor

Chapter 52 Something Happened

During the long 7-hour drive, Hou Wenqiang and his partners took a car, and with everyone's concern, they slowly told a sad family story.

The Gate of Moonlight, the Jingjue ruins they were about to go to, turned out to be a turning point in the legendary life of Hou Wenqiang's grandfather, and it was also the source of tragedy for his family since then.

The story begins with the family tradition of the Hou family.

The Hou family, a century-old family, has secretly passed down the art of geomancy from their ancestors.Although only the surface of some ancient geomancy techniques have been handed down, they were all well-known local families in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period.

Here I need to explain, Daodou means tomb robbery, this is the jargon in the cultural relics world.Kanyu is a kind of Feng Shui, which refers to the technique of phase and place, that is, the method of checking geography on the spot.The ancients mostly used it to select suitable places for palaces, village sites, and cemetery construction.Later generations often use geomancy techniques to go back and look for the architectural sites, tombs and treasures of the predecessors.

As for the Moonlight Gate in the Taklamakan Desert on the Silk Road, shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, experts at the time judged that there was an opportunity to find it, so the country sent the top domestic scientific expedition team to investigate and explore.At that time, there was a cultural relic expert in the team who had long-term cooperation with Hou Wenqiang’s grandfather, and recommended Hou Wenqiang’s grandfather to join the expedition team as a professional in folk geomancy.

What happened after the expedition team entered the desert is now a state secret that has been tightly sealed, and the surviving insiders kept tight-lipped until their death.But no matter how the news is blocked, it is impossible to hide it from the family members of the expedition team.On the day Hou Wenqiang's grandfather came back, he told his family a terrible news: a very serious accident happened during the inspection, and his grandfather tried his best to save a few people, while others disappeared in the desert forever.

However, not long after, something even more frightening happened. Some exquisite ancient relics suddenly appeared in the world, and the world's cultural relics circles rushed to spy on them!This incident directly triggered the coveting of this treasure by interested people at home and abroad for decades.And because of this, all the people who came back alive faced a catastrophe!
The secretive political censorship has not yet passed, and a decade of turmoil begins.The facts have not been investigated clearly, and the survivors were killed one by one by Youdou. Hou Wenqiang's grandfather was a standard "ghost and snake spirit" and died tragically in prison soon.Grandma went on a hunger strike with grandpa, and Hou Wenqiang's father, who was a black cub of ghosts and snakes, was also tortured at that time and was sent to the most remote and difficult labor reform farm. He died of middle age before the reform and opening up.Although he quietly taught Hou Wenqiang the family-inherited knowledge, his attitude towards it was full of depression, entanglement and worry when he was dying. Hou Wenqiang continues to bring endless disasters!

After the reform and opening up, only orphans and widowed Hou Wenqiang and his mother came to Dancheng silently.The silent mother hesitated for a long time, but in the end she couldn't just sit back and watch her husband's ancestral knowledge be annihilated. She quietly contacted her husband and father-in-law's former partners, and asked Hou Wenqiang to follow those trustworthy parents quietly at the age of 12, using various reasons such as summer camps, part-time jobs, and visits to relatives. Friends of Dao Dou people go to the field to practice and accumulate Dao Dou experience.There is a family tradition, even though Hou Wenqiang is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, he is a well-known master of Daodou in the small circle of Daodou in Dancheng today, and ordinary Xiaodou will not make a move.

Only affected by the shadow of the family tragedy, Hou Wenqiang's heart is always full of fear, the higher the level of inversion, the more afraid he is, and he never dares to mention half a word about the art of inverting in feng shui to people he doesn't know well. I don't know when I will die because of this stunt!

The Hou family is ruined, displaced, and lives in the shadow of fear. The source of all these tragedies is only from the exquisite ruins, the Moonlight Gate and the mysterious treasure inside!
Hou Wenqiang's voice trembled with grief: "Grandpa said that he didn't take anything from the treasure, not a single thing! You believe me, my grandpa really didn't take those things! My grandpa died unjustly!"

Everyone had already heard the tears, and Xu Mei, who was the most soft-hearted, burst into tears. Hearing this, he cried out loudly: "Monkey, stop talking, we believe in you!"

"We believe in you!"

"I believe you!"

"We all believe in you!"

Hou Wenqiang couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly, but it was also the first time that he cried without any scruples!It turns out that there are still a few friends in this world who can let you release the deepest depression in your heart, and make you feel so happy even when you cry!

At around three o'clock, the off-road vehicle successfully arrived at the edge of a large natural uninhabited wetland.This is a natural wonder. The surrounding hot desert is so scorching that people are about to ooze oil, but the wetland with fluffy reeds does not dry up, but forms a large mass of heat waves and water vapor in the sky above the wetland. The weird transparent air mass formed is colorless, invisible, twisted and changeable, and looks like a huge invisible demon from a distance.

This is the legendary Moonlight Gate?
It was summer vacation, and it was the hottest time of the day. The air conditioner of the off-road vehicle was turned on to the maximum, and the instrument still showed the temperature inside the vehicle as 35 degrees Celsius.And the temperature outside the car reached a terrifying 60 degrees Celsius!This is still the temperature, and the temperature of the sand on the ground is even higher. It is said that if you dig a nest in the desert and put a raw egg in it, it will be cooked for a while.

Although everyone on the desert trip carried a copy of self-help water, food and first-aid items, when Hou Wenqiang was about to get off the car under such a temperature that directly threatened human survival, everyone stopped him in unison: "In the car Just take a look, don't go out!"

Hou Wenqiang looked up his head, crying and laughing: "I must go down and have a look. You don't understand that I, who specializes in inheriting Dao Dou Gemyu, will feel so uncomfortable if I don't get out of the car when I get to this place! Besides, I hate this place! Hate this place! I want to step on it! Use my feet, step on it myself!"

Hou Wenqiang resolutely walked towards the mysterious wetland under everyone's worried eyes.Surprisingly, in another car, the drifter also jumped off with his backpack on his back, catching up with Hou Wenqiang who took the initiative to put his shoulders on his shoulders, and walked forward sweating.The windows of the car were closed, so I couldn't hear what the two of them were saying.

Originally frowning, Lan Caoxin, who was holding on to the handle of the car and preparing to get off the car, let go of her hand in deep thought.

Zhong Cuicui poked the blue grass heart with his elbow, and gave him a wink: "Look at one?"
