Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 467
This season, the weather is as unpredictable as a child's face.

Night has fallen, and there is a faint sound of thunder in the distant sky, and lightning flashes light up on the top of the castle from time to time.

Wang Qiang and his wife are hosting an elegant banquet in the side hall of the ancient castle to entertain everyone. Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang are sitting around the table.

Wang Qiang raised a glass to invite a drink, and everyone accompanied her.

After drinking a glass, Wang Qiang put down the glass and said, "Is your guest in Liangzhou?"

Di Renjie said, "Exactly."

Wang Qiang said: "Hundred years ago, this road was the official road from Ganzhou to Liangzhou, but now this road has been abandoned for dozens of years, how did the distinguished guest come here?"

Di Renjie came slowly: "Just because I took the wrong route a few days ago, I came to a small mountain village called Wangjiabao..."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Qiang's expression changed immediately: "Why, honored guest has been to Wangjiabao?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie observed the change in his expression: "Exactly."

Wang Qiang said "Oh" with a solemn expression.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, is there something wrong?"

Wang Qiang regained his composure and replied: "That's not true. It's just that Wangjiabao is the birthplace of the local black-clothed god. It is said that there are often supernatural things happening. I wonder if the distinguished guest has encountered any unusual things?"

Li Yuanfang was about to speak, but was stopped by Wang Mang's eyes.

Wang Mang said: "There is nothing else. It's just that when staying in the village, the local villagers said that these two days are the festival days of the black-clothed god, so they dare not stay with guests."

Wang Qiang nodded.

At this time, Wang Mang gave Di Renjie a look.

Di Renjie said: "There is one thing I want to ask my brother for advice."

Wang Qiang said, "Brother Huai, please tell me."

Di Renjie said: "Where did this great god in black come from, and why do the people around him believe in him so much?"

Wang Qiang's complexion changed again, as if it was difficult to answer: "This..."

Di Renjie coughed lightly and said, "Ah, since Brother Wang doesn't want to mention it, Huai doesn't dare to force it."

Wang Qiang settled down: "Oh, Brother Huai is worrying too much, I just don't know where to start."

As he spoke, he looked at the lady beside him.

Madam smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you the truth."

Wang Qiang seemed a little embarrassed, forced a smile, and said, "Forget it. Brother Huai, this black-clothed god is very effective. It can be said that he is the guardian king of the local people."

"Oh?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie raised their eyebrows.

Wang Qiang nodded, and continued: "Brother Wang just said that the people nearby believe in the great god in black. You are not complete, not only the people in the vicinity, but the entire Ganliang area, believe in this great god very much. .”

"How should I put it, this great god is my younger brother Hua Zong. He is also surnamed Wang, and his first name is Mi.

At the end of the troubled times in the North and South, a group of monsters came from the west. These people had wings, wore armor, ate human flesh, and drank hot blood..."

"These demons not only kill people to take blood, but also covet money and treasures. They do all kinds of evil in the Ganliang area. The common people hate them deeply, but there is nothing they can do.

And the black-clothed god Wang Mian was born in Wangjiabao, which is where brother Huai passed by a few days ago. "

Wang Mang was taken aback for a moment: "The great god in black was born in Wangjiabao?"

Wang Qiang nodded and said: "Yes. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is very brave. Hearing about this, he gathered the young and middle-aged men of the village, took all the weapons and went deep into the desert to find these monsters, and fought with them in the wild of yellow sand. Finally, the demon will be removed.

And he and his subordinates also fought hard and died. Because Wang Mi liked to wear black clothes during his lifetime, the local people commemorated him and called him the God of Black Clothes.

A temple was built to enshrine incense, and September 25, his birthday, was designated as the sacrificial day, which has been passed down from generation to generation to this day. "

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and they nodded slowly: "I see."

Wang Qiang said: "According to the legend of the local people, the spirit of the great god in black is still alive, and he lives in the 'Mountain of Darkness' in Liangzhou."

Hearing this, Wang Mang hurriedly asked: "Is there really such a place as 'Mountain of Darkness'?"

Wang Qiang said: "This is just a legend of the local people. No one has ever been there. It is said that the 'Mountain of Darkness' is hidden in the depths of this mountain, surrounded by clouds and fog all day long."

Di Renjie was surprised: "Why, the 'Mountain of Darkness' is located in this mountain?"

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Huai is serious. This is just a common folk's legend."

Di Renjie said quickly: "Ah, yes, yes, brother Wang, please continue."

Wang Qiang continued: "According to the local people, you can directly enter the Heavenly Palace from the Dark Mountain, so it is also called the Black Heaven Gate.

Gathered there are black-clothed gods, who are in charge of Ganliang Road and everything in the desert, and hold huge wealth.

If someone can reach there, not only can they become prosperous, but they can also become immortals.So many people went to find the 'Dark Mountain'..."

"did you find it?"

Wang Mang asked.

Wang Qiang shook her head: "No one came back alive."

Wang Mang let out a long breath: "That's right."

"I heard that this great god in black is very responsive, almost responding to every request.

But it is also very severe, and the punishment for those who dare to violate his will is extremely severe, so the people are very afraid of him. "

Wang Mang and Di Renjie nodded slowly.

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Brother Huai and Brother Wang seem to be quite interested in this black-clothed god?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "I'm just curious."

Wang Mang said with a smile: "I have always been very interested in these legends, and I want to learn about them every time I go to a place!"

Wang Qiang nodded, "That's right!"

At this time, a servant walked quickly into the side hall and came to Wang Qiang, said a few words in a low voice, Wang Qiang nodded and stood up and said: "Everyone, common things are entangled, come and go."

Di Renjie hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, please."

Wang Qiang said, "Wei'er, treat the guests for my husband."

Mrs. Wei'er nodded with a smile, and Wang Qiang hurried out of the side hall.

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang beside him.

Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, and there was silence in the castle hall.

Wang Qiang walked quickly, and he tapped lightly on the gable wall in front of the hall.

With a soft "squeak", the front wall was opened, and a servant-like person walked out quickly.

Wang Qiang rushed forward and asked eagerly, "How is it?"

The servant nodded: "The things have been transported to the underground hall through the underground network."

Wang Qiang waved her hand: "Let's go."

The two walked quickly into the secret door, which was slowly closed.

In the depths of the castle, the underground hall is huge and empty, and there are many vehicles parked densely inside. The words "Longwuwei Transit Envoy" are pasted on the thatch of the car body. This is the payment vehicle lost by Fang Zhe's army in the desert.

Dozens of porters dressed as villagers had finished loading and unloading the carts, waiting in line to receive the rewards. A few guardians in silver-embroidered black robes and bronze masks stood beside the carts to oversee the work.

One of them walked up to the front of the queue and said, "Brothers, the goods have arrived safely, and you are the great contributors! The god in black has an order to reward you! Once you get the reward, you can go home!"

All the villagers replied in unison: "Thank you, the guardian king. I will go through fire and water for the black-clothed god, and I will not hesitate!"

The guardian in black nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, everyone don't walk around casually now, just wait here! The silver reward will arrive soon!"

The villagers whispered to each other, all of them were smiling, talking about how the reward silver they received was enough for the whole family to survive the winter.
