Bai Moxuan and Yue Qing exchanged glances, and Yue Qing said: "With so many people buried underground, it will be troublesome if trouble occurs one day. I will cast a Requiem Curse just in case."
Cha Laoliu had no objection. Yue Qing took out three incense sticks and stuck them on the ground. After burning them, he kowtowed three times on the ground. He folded his hands into a lotus shape and murmured: "The sky and the earth are clear and bright, and there is no intention; contain."
The emptiness and dust are silent, all things return to one. Separations and unions suddenly disperse, fate returns to the lamp..."
Cha Laoliu didn't understand yin and yang magic, but the feeling in his body was very obvious. His body was originally cold, but now it was much warmer. Seeing Yue Qing closing his eyes and reciting a mantra, looking pious, he closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.
Dare I say, after finally waiting for Yue Qing to open his eyes, Cha Laoliu asked: "Is it over?"
"It's over." Yue Qing said: "Besides corpse-scented konjac, we have something else to ask you."
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Cha Laoliu looked outside the house: "People here get up early, and people go up the mountain before five o'clock."
In this case, Yue Qing cleared away the incense on the ground and immediately went back with the two of them. Sure enough, halfway up the road, he met someone who was going up the mountain. After returning, everyone else was sleeping soundly, and the three of them just lay down.
They went down to catch up on their sleep. They slept until dawn, and Cui Ying came over to wake them up.
During breakfast, Yue Qing recounted what happened last night in detail. Cui Ying said: "This should have no connection with what we want to investigate. The Khitan people have frequent contact with the Western Regions and will obtain corpses unique to the Western Regions."
Fragrant konjac is nothing. As you said, there is more monks than porridge.
This thing can't help so many people preserve their corpses. They can only be buried with them. I believe Yue Qing's judgment that the corpses of my ancestors must be buried underneath. However, since Sixth Brother doesn't want to cause trouble, let them continue to be buried underground. Now
It’s time to talk about that person with a foreign surname.”
Cha Laoliu guessed it: "You must have listened to the young man who picked you up. Why do you care so much about this person with a foreign surname?"
Su Bai said sheepishly: "To be honest with Sixth Brother, this person with a foreign surname may be my grandfather."
Cha Qianmo and Cha Laoliu were stunned at the same time. Su Bai added: "We finally found this place. We just need to verify his identity. Please help me."
"Brother Six, tell him, it's not a secret anyway." Cha Qianmo said happily.
"Calculating the time, that person with a foreign surname should have appeared in our village in 1969 or 1970." Cha Laoliu looked at Cha Qianmo: "Mo'er, do you still remember the time grandpa mentioned?
?”
"Grandpa was very vague about the time. It was roughly the late 1960s and early 1970s. When the village was closed, a man with a foreign surname suddenly came to the village, causing an uproar." Cha Qianmo said: "But the man with a foreign surname was
Found lying at the foot of the cliff, it looked like he had fallen. He thought
He was seriously unconscious. When he was brought back, he only had one breath left. At that time, there were different opinions on how to deal with him. Finally, the old man of the Jiang family said that he would be thrown into the stone room of his ancestors. If he could survive, he would be lucky and the village would be saved.
You can take him in, and if he dies, throw him into a ravine."
Yingning said in surprise: "Didn't you send him to the hospital?"
"Send him to the hospital?" Cha Qianmo said: "The conditions at that time were not good, and our place was closed. There were only barefoot doctors. When the barefoot doctors saw that he was only breathing, they didn't dare to save him. Grandpa said that later he was
He was thrown into a stone house and no one came to see him for three days. Everyone thought he was definitely going to die.
On the third night, someone returned late from hunting in the mountains. When he passed by a stone house, he saw light coming from the house. The house was not usually lit. The man was so frightened that he hurried back to the village to call for help. A group of people
Go there with a torch, and the stranger is standing at the door with a rosy face, just like that, he comes to life."
Yue Qing said: "In three days, no one gave him water or food?"
"I don't have enough to eat, so how can I give him anything extra?" Cha Qianmo said.
"That foreigner ended up staying in the village?" Yue Qing saw that Subai was very nervous and asked for him.
"There is no place for people in our remote countryside, but he came out alive from the stone house of our ancestors. Everyone thinks that our ancestors accepted him. Some even say that our ancestors showed up and saved him. For the first time, we
It's unprecedented for this place to accept a foreigner." Cha Qianmo said: "However, he didn't stay for a long time. Grandpa said that he would leave after three months."
Both Su Bai and Bai Chang were very nervous. Judging from the time, this was just a few years before their grandfather met their grandmother. What concerned them most was the light. The light was most likely a fox relic. The foreigner was dying.
Suddenly something came to life. It wasn't some Khitan ancestors who showed up, but Xue Bin sent him fox relics and saved his life!
Bai Chang asked with concern: "Is the old man from back then still alive?"
Cha Laoliu said: "Mo'er's father and I are biological brothers. Our grandfather had a good brother. He also knew what happened back then. He is still alive, but he is old and a little deaf."
"If he saw the appearance of that person with a foreign surname, would he still be able to recognize him?" This was what Bo Chang was most concerned about.
"You can give it a try." Cha Qianmo said, "I will take you to find him."
It turns out that Bai Chang came over this time and brought a painting. This painting was painted by Ying Ning before. According to grandma, the painting is very lifelike and can be recognized at a glance. If the old man has any impression, he should recognize it at a glance.
At this point, Su Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted: "Grandma..."
Bai Chang patted the back of his hand and said calmly: "It's okay, let's go take a look first."
The old man Cha Qianmo was talking about was sixty-eight years old this year. He had poor ears but no problem with his memory. He kept staring at these people with foreign surnames with a pair of cloudy eyes. Cha Laoliu said in a loud voice: "Uncle Tong, do you remember coming here before?"
That person with a foreign surname? The one who was thrown into the stone house?"
"What, the surname is wrong?" Uncle Tong's ears are hard to hear, and he spoke loudly: "I can't understand what you kid said."
Bai Chang couldn't wait any longer, so he unfolded the painting, pointed at the man in the painting, and asked loudly: "This is this man, do you still have any impressions?"
Uncle Tong still didn't hear clearly, but the man in the painting was lifelike. He suddenly became excited, took Cha Qianmo's hand and said: "Mo'er, it's him, it's him..."
Cha Qianmo leaned into Uncle Tong's ear: "A foreigner?"
This time Uncle Tong understood. He nodded vigorously: "Yes, it's him."
Bai Chang felt like he was struck by lightning: "It's really him!"
"Please help me ask Uncle Tong what this stranger's name is and where he went after he left here." Subai said anxiously.
Cha Qianmo nodded and communicated loudly with Uncle Tong. Uncle Tong shook his head in confusion: "I don't quite remember his name, but when he left, he said he was going to the north."
The north is so big, which city is it?
Bai Chang was still concerned about Xuebin's existence and asked: "Did a woman from other places come here back then?"
Cha Qianmo asked, and Uncle Tong vigorously waved his hand and shook his head: "No."
What Su Bai was thinking more about was that his grandfather had appeared here, so whether he had anything to do with the disappearance of the Khitan treasure? He asked Uncle Tong again, and most of what he said was about the past, and the details were similar to those told by Cha Laoliu.
Finally, there were no more details that could be verified. Bai Chang fell into deep thought. Subai coughed lightly: "Grandma, let's go back first."
Bai Chang sighed: "Okay, go back."
Back in Cha Laoliu's courtyard, Bai Chang said: "Su Bai, go out for a walk with grandma."
Subai was not very willing. He scratched his head and said, "No, grandma, we will have dinner soon."
"Don't bargain with grandma." Bai Chang gave the order, but Su Bai didn't dare to refuse.
Walking alone with her grandma, Su Bai kept chatting and chattering. Bai Chang listened patiently at first, but suddenly stood up and said: "Don't talk unnecessary words. In fact, you have thought of it, right?"
?”
Su Bai lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake, and responded softly: "Yes."
Bai Chang sighed: "Your grandma is stubborn, but she is not stupid. The cause and effect are very clear. The stranger is your grandpa, the shiny things in the stone house are fox relics, Xue Bin is the fox fairy, and no one here has seen her.
It's normal. She stole the fox relic just to save your grandpa. Everyone can confirm this, but it may be more than that..."
Subai couldn't bear it and tried to interrupt grandma: "Stop talking, grandma."
Bai Chang said: "You want grandma to deceive herself? No, just let me continue. Your grandpa came here by no means by chance. With his intelligence, how could he fall off the cliff? When we came here
I also saw that although the road is narrow, it is very flat, so your grandpa most likely did it on purpose."
Su Bai looked even more embarrassed, and he stamped his foot: "Yes. Grandpa fell here. He can do two things. The first is to ask Xuebin to steal the fox relic for him. The second is to investigate the Khitan treasure."
Cha Laoliu said before that they found Yinshan Mountain because of a book. That book was a forged ancient book. Why did it suddenly appear so coincidentally? This person must meet two conditions. First, he knows the treasure of Yinshan Mountain.
Secondly, he knows his internal situation. In short, grandpa is highly suspicious."
Bai Chang pinched Sub Bai's face and said, "My grandson is a smart man."
"Grandma, this is just a guess." Suber said, "Actually, we have always thought that grandpa was a man with conspiracy. Isn't that too preconceived? He may have his own reasons. To know the facts, we must find him and confront him.
"
"Judging from the time, after he left here, he went to the north, where he met me, got married, and gave birth to your mother." Bai Chang said, "Then he disappeared, faked his death, and completely disappeared."
