Chapter 670 Five losses for the old man
When the sixth branch flew from the city of Fushou, the noble Zhang family already had a chief, a young master, Mr. Wutou, four big hall officials, and led the small hall officials who could be summoned in a short time and were trustworthy. Came to a mysterious wild mountain.
Starting from the second arrow, the eldest son of the noble Zhang family has made a decision. The noble Zhang family is not important, the lintel is not important, the ancestral home is not important, and even the family members living in the house are not important.
Of course, those human nails who were protecting the nobles from disaster and were dying one by one were not even important. Considering the time difference, he didn't even send anyone to ask below.
He just asked the Meng family to help deal with the evil spirit, and then sent everyone to this place.
This mountain is extremely strange, with majestic mountains, pleasant scenery, and stretching for thousands of miles, but it is not as famous as other famous mountains and rivers.
There are no tigers receiving incense here, and there are no mountain spirits and wild monsters breeding here. Even because there are few roads and thin soil here, no one even gathers here. Only a few villagers are at the foot of the mountain, and the sun rises. Work and rest at sunset.
No one knows the name of this mountain, and no one knows the last name of this mountain. Even this mountain seems to have been forgotten by the world.
Even the noble Zhang was trying to be careful and would not send anyone over anytime soon.
Only on the mountainside, there is a stone hut. In the house lives an old man who is blind, deaf, with a broken leg, one arm, and even a part of his tongue bitten off. He lives here all year round, and only relies on the village at the foot of the mountain every month. The villagers here give some corn to live on.
But it might be windy, rainy, or something else. No food was delivered for several days, and he was hungry.
When Mr. Wutou and the young master of the Zhang family brought people over, the old man was squatting in front of his stone house to eat.
The remaining hand held a chipped rough porcelain basin. In the basin were some grains of corn porridge, with a salty radish strip floating on it and a few black, round things. It was the boy who went up the mountain to deliver food and picked up a few sheep dung eggs from the road.
The old man just drank the porridge without knowing how to chew it. He drank the porridge and the sheep dung and eggs together without noticing anything.
The naughty boy squatted and watched with a smile on his face, looking excited.
Because the old man ate slowly, he became bored, picked up pebbles from the side, kept them far away, and threw them into the basin.
"What a courage..."
When Mr. Wutou and the young master of the Zhang family came to the front and saw this scene, their pupils suddenly shrank in anger, and their anger surged: "In order to let the family at the foot of the mountain support the second master, I gave them a hundred taels of silver. ”
"Are you worried that you gave too much and left a loophole? One hundred taels of silver is so useless? We haven't had anyone come here for three years, so they are giving food and support to the second master?"
In anger, he picked up a nail in his hand and raised his hand to shoot it.
Unexpectedly, the nail was sharp and sharp, and was about to hit the naughty boy, but it suddenly disappeared inexplicably and flew from behind him. He hurriedly turned his head and held the nail between his fingers. Shocked and surprised for a moment, I looked up.
Just as the old man eating porridge slowly tilted his head to look up, his empty eye sockets met his, and everyone in the room was suddenly shocked.
The naughty boy also looked back, and suddenly saw so many people coming behind him, and he immediately restrained himself a lot.
A handful of stones in his hand quietly fell to the ground.
The old man finished his meal slowly, not even a grain of radish or corn was left. He put down the earthenware basin, stretched out one arm, groped for the basket, and put the earthenware basin in. The naughty boy immediately picked up the basket and used it. He was about to leave, but was suddenly held back by him.
When the naughty boy saw a stranger next to him, he was eager to go back and looked at him impatiently.
Sometimes the old man would grab a handful of wild dates or other things for him to eat, but not this time.
He slowly retracted his palm, groped around in his arms, pulled out a piece of dark gold, and motioned to him.
The naughty boy also knew him, and he hid a small piece of gold at home, saying it was for him to get a wife.
But this piece seems to be bigger than the one at home.
He excitedly picked up the gold and jumped down the mountain. Those who went up the mountain stood still and did not dare to stop him.
It wasn't until the naughty boy walked away that Mr. Wutou slowly signaled to the young master of the Zhang family. Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to the old man.
The young master of the Zhang family, after kowtowing, stood up, carefully came to the old man, and said respectfully: "My eldest nephew, Zhang Huanjue, kowtowed to my second uncle. Second uncle... you have suffered. "
When he said these words, everyone behind him knelt deeper and did not dare to raise their heads.
Guiren Zhang does not touch magic, but this one is the only exception. Not only is he an expert in the world, but he even has amazing magical powers, but it is not because Guiren Zhang forced him to do it, but because he likes it.
But it is also obvious that because he liked it himself, he paid a price that others could hardly imagine. In Guiren Zhang, the eldest master was in charge, but it was the second master who suppressed the people in the door and dared not touch him.
The old man didn't speak, but slowly stretched out his palm towards his nephew.
The young master of the Zhang family hurriedly stepped forward and wrote something in his palm.
After writing a few words, the old man suddenly frowned, his expression seemed unhappy, and he slowly shook his head.
The young master of the Zhang family said hurriedly: "Yes, father also said that this may be the other party's trick."
"People all over the world, including those with the nine surnames, openly respect our Zhang family, but secretly they want to know where this dragon's lair is. If this place wasn't so important, there would be no need for you, my second uncle, to endure this hardship..."
"But my father also said that even if it might be a trick by the other party to follow us to find this dragon's lair, we still have to come here. The other party's nightmare method is too powerful. We, the Zhang family, cannot take this risk."
"Besides, when destiny is about to come, even if you are discovered, it is not that important. At worst, you will find someone to sleep in the dragon's lair." "..."
The old man slowly took his hand and seemed to be thinking. After a long time, his empty eyes suddenly shook around.
If he had eyes, he seemed to be looking at the people following him from left to right.
The young master of the Zhang family hurriedly wrote a few words on his hand, and then said quickly: "It's not that my father doesn't trust your ability, second uncle, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to defend the dragon's lair, but it's just a matter of great importance."
"The man's nightmare skills are so powerful that he has already destroyed the lintel of the Zhang family and summoned the innocent souls under the memorial monument... My father said that he had already guessed the identity of that man, which was different from what the imperial master said at the time."
"This person is the evil spirit who once ruined the luck of the previous dynasty!"
The old man's body, which was like a dead tree, seemed to be stunned. He suddenly opened his mouth and laughed silently.
Only half of his tongue was left trembling, as if he was extremely happy.
"yes…"
Seeing the old man laughing, the young master of the Zhang family also became happy and said loudly: "Congratulations to the second uncle, congratulations to the second uncle!"
"You finally have a chance to fight him..."
While they were talking, the naughty boy who delivered the meal had already returned home with the gold. The parents at home were discussing: "I just saw a noble man from a foreign country wearing brocade and hat going up the mountain. I don't know what to do with him." Does that old thing matter?"
"The food we deliver to the top tomorrow should be better, so that others don't look at it and think that we don't keep up with our words and don't support him..."
Just then, they took out the gold like a naughty boy offering a treasure. The couple's eyes suddenly lit up when they saw it. They took it in their hands and rubbed it again and again, bit it again, and said happily: "Sure enough, the noble master is kind-hearted, and this is a reward for us." Jin Zili, I'm afraid I'll have to pay for food again.”
"Hurry up, hurry up, kill chickens, kill chickens, kill pigs, kill sheep, tomorrow's meal will be better, big oil and water!"
The woman was also happy, but distressed, and said, "The pig hasn't been raised yet. It would be a pity to kill it now. It will make a lot more money in the next year!"
The man said: "Then kill the sheep!"
The woman was even more displeased: "The sheep still has their babies, and they are about to lay down."
The man also raised his head and took a look, frowned, and said: "Then let's kill the chicken. The chicken-killing department is here."
The woman originally nodded, but when she was about to prepare, she hesitated and said, "The chicken still lays eggs, and it all depends on them for salt."
"Besides, my noble lord, how can I still eat chicken? Maybe I can make my own rice!"
The man felt that he had an ideal and thought about it again, and then said: "Let's put two hard eggs on the table, pick some toon tips and fry them."
"Go and touch some loaches and shrimps in the river. The noble man has eaten too many good things, and he just loves this bite..."
As they talked, they happily hid the gold, hugged the baby again, and asked carefully if they met anyone on the mountain, who gave the gold, if there is any more, and if they asked him to pass any words. .
I just didn't notice that as the piece of gold entered the house, the ancestor's tablet in the main room gradually turned black at some point, and even the writing on it could not be seen clearly.
The sky outside seemed to be getting cloudy. The chickens in the nest, the sheep in the yard, and the pigs in the pen all froze on the spot for no reason. Little by little, they shrank down and died quietly. Even the chickens lay down. The eggs made some noise and black water flowed out.
When they felt that it was suddenly so dark that they could not see clearly, they felt a wave of boredom. They gasped hard but could not breathe out, and even their eyes began to become numb.
The man suddenly let go of the doll, stood up in a daze, walked to the water tank, plunged his head in, and let himself drown. The woman, with a straight look in her eyes, grabbed the doll and threw it into the pot. Inside, add water to it.
When the fire started burning in the stove, the naughty boy didn't fight or cry, but his eyes were filled with fear.
It's not just their family.
When the wind passed through their house, other families in the village also became hysterical.
When this wind blew to other villages, those who were working or resting at noon gradually became silent.
The scorching sun in the sky is blazing down on the world, but the villages on the mountainside no longer feel any warmth.
