At noon, at the village chief's house, Yang Yizheng was courteously entertaining Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan.
"Come, Xiao Yang drinks."
Qi Lu hurriedly raised his glass to salute, and then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Yang Yi poured him another glass of wine and said: "Myanmar has been in turmoil recently, and I was worried about your safety at first, for fear that something would happen to you on the road. ” "Thanks to Uncle Yang, the journey is safe and sound."
"That's good, by the way, did you bring the key?"
Finally getting to the point, Qi Lu pretended to be casual and said, "Of course I brought it, my father entrusted me to hand it over to you personally." ” "Then now you think you'll give it to me."
Qi Lu chuckled in his heart, remembered Yang Peng's explanation before leaving, so he said euphemistically: "It's not that the little nephew is greedy for treasures, but before leaving, my father repeatedly told me that the key is a valuable thing, and it should be solemnly handed over to you after sacrificing to the ancestors." ” "Yes, don't you say I forgot, this is the rule of the ancestors."
Yang Yi glanced at his son, and Yang Bo went to the back room to take out two things and returned to the dining table.
"This is a letter from your father to me, and the other one is another key, please Xiao Yang take a look."
Qi Lu knew that Yang Yi was afraid that he would have doubts because he had rejected him in person just now, so he took out these two things to show his attitude.
So Qi Lu took it with a smile, and then opened the letter and looked at it.
Qi Lu hadn't actually seen Yang Peng's handwriting, but he believed that Yang Yi wouldn't dare to deceive himself by deceiving himself at this juncture, so he pretended to read the letter and found that the content was roughly the same as Yang Peng's description of himself, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart, so he smiled and said: "It seems that my father is too cautious, for fear that we juniors will mess things up." ” "Xiao Yang, look at my jewelry box again."
"No need, am I still worried about Uncle Yang" Qi Lu pretended to smile on his face, but his heart was "fluttering".
A cloud of doubt floated in my mind, that is, the mysterious person who returned the box to me, did he already know that Yang Yi would mention the key today, so quickly restore the box so that my identity would not be exposed by Yang Yi, but I have no key in this box at all, and when Yang Yi opened it and found that it was empty, how should I answer when I asked me for the key Thinking of this, Qi Lu's heart became more and more flustered, and he thought about what to do when handing over the key.
"Uncle Yang, thank you for your hospitality today, I will toast you with water instead of wine."
At this time, Ding Xiaolan got up to toast, inadvertently resolving the embarrassment in Qi Lu's heart.
After eating, Qi Lu came out of Yang Yi's house and laughed happily, just now he was sitting on pins and needles, for fear that his words would reveal flaws, and Yang Yi would find out that he was an impostor.
Ding Xiaolan asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm glad."
Qi Lu said softly to her, "I'll take you to a stimulating place."
After speaking, he didn't care whether Ding Xiaolan wanted it or not, so he pulled her to the back of the village.
"I'm not going" halfway through, Ding Xiaolan finally found out that Qi Lu was going to take her to the place where Yang Bo ate human flesh last night, and she was so frightened that she lay on the ground and refused to leave.
"My eldest lady, there is not much time left for us, and if we don't understand the secrets of this village before handing over the keys, I'm afraid that neither you nor I will be able to leave this place alive."
Qi Lu knew what was at stake in her.
Ding Xiaolan also knew what was at stake, so she had to follow Qi Lu to the ghost place yesterday.
But when they reached their destination, they could not help but be stunned with wide eyes, for it was a flat field, with no bones left over from the fire, no traces of fire, and nothing but a few fallen leaves on the ground.
Qi Lu exclaimed: "This is really the hell" Ding Xiaolan was also speechless in surprise.
"Brother Yang, why are you here?"
The words that appeared out of thin air frightened Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan into distraction, and they looked back in shock, only to find Yang Bo standing behind with a smile on his face.
The three of them each had a ghost fetus, and the air suddenly became tense, Qi Lu forced him to ask him calmly: "Xiao Yang, why are you here?"
"I saw that the two of you were new to the city and were not familiar with the environment, so I rushed over to remind you."
"Xiao Yang, what do you mean?"
"There are a lot of traps placed by the villagers in the mountains and forests in front, I'm afraid that you newcomers don't know the way, and if you go further, you will accidentally hit the trap, and then you will suffer a big loss."
Qi Lu hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Xiao Yang for reminding us, then let's go back." ” "But since you're here, why don't you go and see the Seven Victory Tower, a famous place in our village."
"Qisheng Tower, it seems to be a monument, I don't know where the tower is" Yang Bo pointed to the forest on the right and said, "It's not far, it's in this forest." ” "Okay, then let's trouble Xiao Yang to lead the way."
Qi Lu kept an eye on it and let Yang Bo go in front in case he had bad intentions.
After entering the forest, Qi Lu saw the tower.
This tower is not high, only three floors, and there are towering trees around it, no wonder Qi Lu can't see this ancient tower in the village.
Qi Lu smiled and said: "Presumably because of this tower, the village is called Guta Village."
"Brother Yang is right, this Qisheng Pagoda was built during the reign of King Mangyinglong of the Donghu Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 500 years."
When he came to the tower, Qi Lu saw a few lines of poems engraved on both sides of the tower, so he stepped forward and read, "The sun is rising, people are in it, Zixu lacks a surname, Xiao Yang, this poem seems to be missing a sentence."
Qi Lu pointed to the blank space on the side of the poem Zixu Missing on the right wall and asked Yang Bo, because the blank space seemed to have been shoveled out a poem.
Yang Bo laughed and said, "Your father is to blame for this." ” "Why" "When your family left our village, the patriarch erased this poem."
Hearing Yang Bo say this, Qi Lu was shocked, and remembered the sentence that Yang Peng told in his ear, "Wait for Sanyang", at that time he still thought that these were very strange four words, and now he understands that it is the last sentence erased by a poem.
Qi Lu connected the four sentences and read them silently in his heart, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: "What kind of garbage poetry doesn't rhyme at all, presumably the one who writes poetry is also a vassal and elegant half-tone." ” On the tower, Qi Lu found that this is a red brick built of dense eaves type pagoda, the tower body is six-sided, each side is carved with exquisite murals, due to the age, the bucket arch and flower ornaments on the beams and pillars carved by bricks on the tower are mostly falling off.

After looking at it for a while, Qi Lu found a strange phenomenon.
Although there have been many developments and changes in the use of ancient pagodas through many dynasties, they still have a great relationship with Buddhism.
However, in the niche of this tower, there is no Buddha statue, but a samurai wearing battle armor.
It carried one on its shoulder, and its right hand pointed into the distance, with a majestic demeanor and a kingly style.
Not only that, but the murals carved in the tower have nothing to do with Buddhism, but some other stories.
Qi Lu looked at these murals carefully, and finally understood the content of the paintings, so he smiled and said: "I said why this tower is called Qisheng Tower, it turned out that it was built to commemorate Hou Yi." ” Ding Xiaolan asked, "How do you know?"
Qi Lu pointed to a mural and said: "This painting is the easiest to understand, there are ten suns in the sky, and there is a person on the ground who is about to shoot with an arrow, isn't this exactly what Hou Yi is talking about?"
Ding Xiaolan nodded frequently, and also felt that what Qi Lu said was extremely true, and he was not lying to her.
"Look at this again, the samurai is still holding an arrow and preparing to shoot a monster in front of him.
This monster has a snake body and dragon claws, with nine heads, and its mouth is both spitting fire and spitting water, isn't it the image of the nine babies, you must know that Hou Yi took a lot of effort to shoot this monster back then. ” Qi Lu pointed to the murals and told the story, and when he reached the last painting, he stopped talking, but asked Ding Xiaolan with a smile: "I don't need to explain this painting, you should be able to understand it." ” The carving depicts a woman in white flying towards the moon in the night sky.
Ding Xiaolan also laughed when she saw this, "Chang'e runs to the moon, children know it." ” Qi Lu wrenched his fingers and said: "Hou Yi chiseled his teeth, killed the nine infants, captured Feng Xi, paid the gale, broke the snake in the Dongting, shot up for ten days and killed the monkey, isn't it exactly the seven great achievements, so this tower is called the Seven Victory Tower."
I said how could this tower have such a strange name, it turns out that it is still hidden for such a reason. ” Yang Bo boasted on the side: "You are really knowledgeable, you can't hide it, the people in our village are said to be the descendants of King Dayi, so this tower was built to commemorate the ancestors." ” Qi Lu was shocked when he heard this: "This is true" "Our older generation said that, I don't know if it's true or not."
"In this case, wouldn't Yang Peng be Hou Yi's descendant" Qi Lu sneered, because he knew who Hou Yi's true descendant was.
At this time, Ding Xiaolan saw that there was a tiger-like beast standing next to the statue of Houyi in the tower niche, so he asked Yang Bo: "What is this monster?"
Yang Bo shook his head with a smile and said he didn't know, but Qi Lu said coldly on the side: "It's not a monster, he is Kunlun's mountain god Lu Wu, with boundless mana, assisting Hou Yi to kill demons all the way and help justice in the world." ” Ding Xiaolan was shocked when she heard this, and remembered that her father had said that Lu Wu was her patron saint.
However, she looked at Qi Lu and knew that he was bragging again, so she sneered and said: "You bullied me for not reading, there is an ancient book that said that Hou Yi has a tiger pet named Lu or something by his side." ” Qi Lu's voice was an octave higher: "He is the god who guards Kunlun, not a pet" Ding Xiaolan didn't understand why Qi Lu was suddenly angry, but she knew that Qi Lu sometimes got nervous inexplicably, so she didn't care about him.
"Brother Yang is a scholar, so he should know the origin of this idol."
Yang Bo changed his words and said, "It's not too early, let's go back." ” Before leaving the tower, Qi Lu turned back again, brushed the dust off the head of the divine beast he called Lu Wu with his sleeve, and said with a wry smile: "They carved you too ugly." i0 t1706231537:
