Overhead currents are heavenly masters

The road to the village is very narrow, Qin Yue and Guan Yun are shoulder to shoulder, and there is hardly much room for them.According to Master Lu, there was a rain here yesterday, not heavy, but enough to make the road conditions worse.

Qin Yue lowered her head and looked distractedly at the uppers of their shoes.Because they were going to the country, they all wore high-top hiking boots for easy mobility.But now the soles of the shoes have been covered with a thick layer of mud, and the sides of the shoes are soaked in muddy water, gradually losing their original color.

What a pity.The quality of these shoes is good. I originally planned to wear them for three to five years before replacing them. Now I am afraid I have to retire early.He secretly felt sorry.

After walking five to 600 meters, they came to the end of the road after passing through a low earthwork wall that was washed away by water.So far, the road has been divided into two, one side is east and the other side is west.

Qin Yue walked west.Guan Yunheng didn't realize it until he got to a higher altitude.The east and west sides of the village are separated by a thin water stream, and the houses on the east side are obviously more and better than those on the west side.He couldn't help but stop and watch for a while.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Qin Yue also stopped: "That's the Heishui River. It is said that there used to be a lot of water, but then it dries up day by day, and it flows all the way to Chishui at the foot of the mountain."

This is probably the origin of the name of Heixi Village.Guan Yunheng understood.

After a short rest, they continued their trek to higher ground.

What Master Lu said earlier about the overall relocation of Heixi Village is probably true.Because along the way, there are several rusty and abandoned bulldozers along the way, and the words "demolition" written on the walls of all the houses are very characteristic of flower growers.

Near the entrance, a small part of the houses have been dug to the foundation, and the more you go in, the more the original style is preserved.It's just that most of these "surviving" buildings are covered with unknown rattan plants. From a distance, they look like a vast expanse of darkness, adding a sense of bleakness.

The mountain wind willfully changed the direction it cut in, and let out sharp howls of different lengths, just like some kind of animal hiding in the dark and screaming, it hurt people's ears and hearts, and rippling pain.

After walking for another hour, they stopped at the foot of a stone staircase.Compared with the narrow road and the crowded houses, this stone step is quite spacious, and more than ten people can stand on it at the same time.What is more eye-catching is the stairs themselves, which are all made of whole blocks of dark granite.

In stark contrast, the walls on both sides of the stairs are made of huge white marble.Dozens of groups of relief stories are carved on it.Years of wind and sun have made the appearance of the characters in the reliefs blurred.Only the monster sculpture with a tiger body and nine heads closest to them can vaguely discern its original appearance.

From the moment he walked in here, Guan Yunheng didn't feel that there was anything special about Heixi Village.Ordinary, ordinary, dilapidated.It's not like the place where Qin Yue used to live.Until seeing this section of stairs, the daily life of the village and Qin Yue finally overlapped, which made people feel very cordial.So he stared at the monster relief for a long time and asked, "What is that?"

"It's an enlightened beast. A kind of divine beast that only existed in ancient legends."

Guan Yunheng suddenly remembered that he had heard this name more than once.He said casually, "Is it related to your family?"

"It is said that one of the ancestors once raised one."

"..." Since it is a divine beast, why is it as casual as if you picked up a wild dog by the side of the road?Guan Yunheng was silent, thinking maybe it was just putting gold on his face.

As the stone steps go up, the eyes suddenly open up.The location of the top of the mountain seems to have been flattened with a razor, so flat that it is unimaginable.Neglected open space, overgrown with weeds, new ones piled on top of old ones, tall ones piled on top of short ones.Stepping in did not reach the knee-up position.

A large-scale blue brick temple stands in it, surrounded by a circle of acacia trees more than ten meters high.Because it is the middle of winter, the leaves on the crown of the tree have fallen, and the branches stretch out to higher places, forming a criss-cross network.

Qin Yue squinted her eyes.As long as he could remember, the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall symbolized incomparable majesty and solemnity, inviolable.For every clansman who made a mistake, it was a gloomy place of punishment.

In addition to the densely packed tablets and joss sticks in the main hall of the ancestral hall, there is also an old futon.There is a twig in front of the futon, not thick, but with barbs on it.Every time you hit it, the meat is hooked and pulled.In less than twenty blows, the preservation was dripping with blood.

They flicked away the cobwebs from left to right, and pushed open the heavy wooden door.A musty smell poured out in reverse, making people nauseous.In an instant, both Qin Yue's and Guan Yunheng's expressions became unsightly.They stood at the door and didn't try to go in again until the smell inside was better.

The place that was once crowded with countless ancestral tablets on display has become empty now.Residents have taken everything with them when they migrate.Due to the humid climate in the mountains and lack of maintenance, some of the stone bricks under the feet have become a little loose, and when you step on one end, the other end will warp with a "boom".

Guan Yunheng frowned and said, "There isn't even a ghost in here!"

indeed.In this village of Heixi, there are neither mountain spirits nor wandering ghosts.It was as clean as if entering a sterile ward.But it was clearly not the case many years ago.Qin Yue also began to frown, but the meaning behind it was completely different from Guan Yunheng's.

He took out the Seal of Heaven from his backpack and said, "I'm back here now. What do you want to tell me?"

Feng Tianyin vibrated in his palm, and turned into a pool of light golden liquid, which dripped from between his fingers to the ground.The location of each landing point is different, but it has its own rules.Qin Yue stretched out one arm, and took two steps back across Guan Yunheng.

Pieces of gray patterns gradually emerged on the surface of the stone bricks.Those patterns are like a constantly rotating kaleidoscope, making a splicing sound of "click".Repeated this several times, finally fixed.

Several stone bricks in the center of the ancestral hall began to tremble and turned downwards.A small platform soon appeared on the ground.If you take a closer look, the shape of the platform is an unfolded bergamot.In the palm of his hand was a dark metal box.After completing this series of changes, the movement on the ground stopped.

Qin Yue put her knees on the ground, and lowered her body to fish out the box from the ground.When I opened it, I found a pair of white brocade about one meter long inside.Although the inscription on it is obscure, Qin Yue can still barely read some important past events recorded on it.But as for the detailed content, he can only take it back and spend time carefully identifying it.

He knelt down in this ancestral hall for hundreds of times, and he never knew that there was a hole in the ground.He put the brocade silk back into the box, and stuffed the box back into his backpack.

But obviously, Guan Yunheng was not satisfied with the result.He asked incredulously, "Is that what it brought us here for?"

"Since it's hidden, it must be something very important."

"Cut—" That's it?That's it?

More than two hours of plane, ten hours of car, two hours of walking, and finally just for a piece of cloth?Guan Yunheng found it difficult to accept.

"Okay. Now that you're done, let's go." Qin Yue stretched her waist and said calmly.

"..." You're done!Please have a limit to mystification!Now that the seal of heaven has directly disappeared, what he wants to investigate is even more impossible.

The two returned to the entrance along the same road——

Nothing has changed much.A few shapeless crooked neck trees grew on the side of the road, and there was a circle of withered grass under the trees.There are still clearly visible wheel marks on the road, but the van they took all the way from the provincial capital has disappeared!

"What's the situation? He left us and left?!"

"!!"
