Although I'm not sure if the young man has anything to do with the organization of the Death Entrustment, the aura of the evil god still makes me a little more vigilant, according to my past experience, nothing that has anything to do with the organization of the Death Entrustment is simple.
After eating, I quietly followed the two to Xiaohua Village, and after finding out the young man's home, I came to the east of the village alone, that is, the place where the old locust tree was in the young man's mouth.
This is an old locust tree with four or five people hugging each other, the skin is mottled, very ugly, there is no huge crown, it seems to be divided into two from a height of more than ten meters, half of the trunk has disappeared without a trace, and the other half of the trunk is tilted to the side, which looks full of weirdness.
Although I don't know how many years this old locust tree has existed, just looking at the layers of thick bark that have died, I know that the time must not be short, at least a hundred years old, or even more.
On the side of the slope of the branches of the old locust tree, there is an ancient well, the bluestone pile of the well platform is engraved with the mottled traces of time, and even the wellhead has become dilapidated, this ancient well does not know when it has been dried up, and the place that was originally worshiped as a sacred spring has also been completely defeated.
I circled around the old locust tree, patted the trunk a few times with my hand, and made sure that it was indeed a hole as I thought, and then came to the well platform, this ancient well is more than ten meters deep, at this time it is full of a musty smell, and there is a layer of dead leaves under it, and I can vaguely see a little water stain.
The reason why I came here on purpose is because I heard from the mouth of the young man that this is a strange sacred spring, and the water in this well is extremely sweet, and even if you drink the water here, you can live a long and healthy life.
It's just that this well has a reincarnation every three years, three years of drying, three years of water, and the people in the village even wanted to dig it when the ancient well was dry, but at this time a strange thing happened, that is, everyone who did everything seemed to be cursed, and the next day he fell seriously ill, and after a few times in a row, no one had the idea of hitting this ancient well, and could only follow its rules, a cycle of three years.
The timing of my visit was a bit unfortunate to be able to taste the taste of this sacred spring, and the curse was the main reason for my interest.
With the excavation, I found more and more that Xiaohua Village is not simple, just because a third realm Hua Laosan is willing to stay here, and this mysterious ancient well, now the hand entrusted by death seems to have reached in, could it be that there is some secret hidden in Xiaohua Village I took a closer look at the ancient well, but I didn't gain anything, but I wasn't too disappointed, after all, this ancient well had existed for more than a day or two, and it was so easy to unlock.
If nothing else, I'd really like to dig this ancient well and try where the so-called curse came from, so that I can follow the clues to the source.
Leaving the ancient well, I came to the ancestral hall in the village, which is also a place where the young people are afraid of tigers, according to what the young people said all the way, from a long time ago, all the people in the village who made mistakes would be taken to the ancestral hall for execution, and even the people who went out lying down were not one or two.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people in Xiaohua Village, it is no different from the Yama Palace, and they have been hiding and not daring to approach on weekdays, and after so many years, there is a cold atmosphere in the ancestral hall, and over time, no one wants to approach here.
So when I came to the ancestral hall, let alone hindering it, I didn't even see a figure.
There is no one in the ancestral hall on weekdays, only when the clan elders discuss important matters, or execute people who have made mistakes, the door will be open, and there is not even a lock on the door, not to mention that there is nothing valuable here, and it is estimated that no one dares to come here to steal things.
And this unguarded situation was just right for me, I glanced left and right, and found no figure, so I pushed the door straight in.
Maybe it's been a long time since anyone arrived, the gate made a squeaky sound, the yard was very clean, the ground was paved with stone slabs, the ancestral hall in front of me was built very atmosphericly, a cut higher than the house in the village, and the four big characters of the Hua's ancestral hall were printed on a plaque that was about to rot, and it was hung above the entrance of the ancestral hall.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I felt the ubiquitous cold breath, the temperature seemed to drop all at once, this is the breath formed by the mixture of various negative emotions, ordinary people if they stay here for a long time, it is easy to get sick, maybe this is also a reason why no one wants to stay here.
Without my command, after feeling this breath, the mana in my body automatically activated, and then formed a layer of protection to block these breaths from my body.
While looking at the ancestral hall, I walked in one after another, and the cold atmosphere inside far exceeded the outside, and even gave people a feeling of a gust of wind and wind, I guess even in summer here will feel unusually cool.
The room was a little dark, and even with two large windows, it didn't seem to allow more light to get in.
Although the ground has been washed many times, you can still see a faint red and black color in many places, and I don't know how many people have died in these places and have been directly executed or executed.
On the side facing the entrance of the ancestral hall is the tablet of the patriarch of the previous clan, and only after the death of the patriarch of the past generations is qualified to put the tablet here and accept the worship of future generations.
There was a stick of incense stuck in the incense burner, which had burned almost halfway, and the smoke slowly rose up, turning into various shapes, and then slowly dissipated and disappeared without a trace.
I counted carefully, there are a total of seventeen tablets, that is to say, Xiaohua Village has changed seventeen patriarchs, maybe more.
Seventeen patriarchs, according to the thirty years of the first patriarch, it has a history of more than 500 years, and this is still a small amount, it seems that you should really study the history of Xiaohua Village when you go back.
A village that can be inherited for more than 500 years reveals a strange feeling.
At the top of the ancestral hall are two Taishi chairs, but I don't know who else in Xiaohua Village is qualified to sit side by side with him except the patriarch, and there are three chairs with slightly smaller specifications on each side of the lower head, in this village where the clan is above all else, these eight chairs represent the power to decide everything.
After I walked around the ancestral hall inside and out, although I didn't find anything, sometimes I didn't find the biggest discovery, just as I was about to leave, my body froze suddenly, and then I turned around, staring at the slow burning incense in the incense burner. c:
