Chapter 194 Variables
"The legend of Empress Qihuai originated in the late Sui Dynasty."
On the way to the ancestral hall, Yu Shusheng said quickly: "At that time, Hedong Road was first hit by military disasters, and then by drought, and there were famine troubles everywhere.
In some places, there are even human tragedies in which Yizi cannibalize each other.
Just when the famine was about to reach its peak, there was a torrential rain in Bingzhou and the surrounding area, and a large number of fish fell. "
Guan Anyan asked: "Is it raining fish?"
"Um."
Yu Shusheng nodded, "The rain of fish from the sky has existed since ancient times.
It wasn't until Yuchu's time that the Academy determined through tracking and observation that it was due to the natural phenomenon of dragons absorbing water, sucking lake water or sea water with fish into the air, and transporting it to places tens, dozens, or even hundreds of miles away. , forming the fish rain phenomenon.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was no reasonable explanation. The rain of fish from the sky made the people of Bingzhou who were in a famine think that it was a miracle.
The drought has also eased a lot due to the heavy rain. In the end, the people survived the famine successfully, and built a simple Qihuai Empress Temple outside the city.
After the war has calmed down, various families will contribute funds to renovate the Niangniang Temple. "
"Strange, isn't it."
After listening to Yu Scholar's description, Li Ang asked: "Empress Qihuai has no records or legends before, logically speaking, even if the people of Bingzhou want to worship temples, they should go to the Dragon King Temple.
Why create a **** out of thin air?
How did they know it was a woman who summoned the school of fish? "
"Well"
Yu Shusheng paused when he heard the words, and said: "I read these from the county chronicles, and there is no reason stated on it."
"The Picture"
Yu Yong immediately thought of the portrait that Li Ang took out earlier that was similar to the statue of the Qihuai Empress Temple, "Could it be that Qishui Village is related to the Qihuai Empress Temple?"
"If I'm not mistaken, there is indeed a connection between the two."
He strode forward and came to the gate of the ancestral hall.
Because all the villagers of Qishui went to participate in the celebration, the eerie ancestral hall became silent last night.
Li Ang put the lotus in misery into the body of Mosi's avatar, and took a step towards the southeast, northwest, and observed the speed at which the lotus petals withered in misery.
The misery lotus will predict the life and death of the owner. The more dangerous the place is, the faster the lotus petals will fall.
Last night, due to the ghosts in the ancestral hall, Lian of Kujing couldn't make predictions, because there were dangers everywhere.
But now that the villagers have left, Lian of the Misery has regained her ability to predict accurately.
Boom!
Li Ang punched open the floor of a room behind the ancestral hall, revealing a secret passage hidden under the stone floor.
He walked ahead and stepped into the secret passage.
The secret passage is quite spacious, the ground is uneven, water drips from the top from time to time, and there are braziers with ceramic covers at intervals on the wall.
There are still uncarbonized firewood in those braziers, it seems that someone has just used it some time ago.
Yu Shusheng and the others were acutely aware of the dangerous aura, raised their vigilance silently, and took out their weapons. Ji Xingwang held several talismans in his hand, ready to strike at any time.
Tick, tick.
The clear sound of water droplets echoed in the tunnel, and the road ahead gradually became winding and inclined.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the tunnel finally came to an end. It looks like a simple forging workshop.
There are a pile of huge ceramic cylinders on the ground, and there are lumps of coal in the cylinders.
At the rear, there is a stone door with a handle on it, which looks like it can be opened.
"This stove was recently used."
Yu Shusheng frowned, and said softly: "It's strange, why should the stove be placed under the ground? Is it for making iron? It's not right, either.
There is coal but no iron ore, it doesn't look like a forging furnace. "
Yu Yong remained silent, and picked up something from the corner with his thoughts.
It was a bunch of wooden stretchers and strips of fabric.
The wooden stretcher is full of stains, while the cloth is green and yellow, looking extremely dirty.
His face changed slightly, and his thoughts reached into the stove, and dug out a pile of unburned fragments from the depths of the stove.
Jade pendants worn around, blackened gold and silver jewelry, black lacquered jade bracelets, metal threads, wood chips.
“.This furnace is not for burning iron ore and casting ironware.”
Guan Anyan stared blankly at the stove, and said with a pale face, "It's used to burn corpses."
"To be precise, it is used to burn the clothes and jewelry on the corpse."
Li Ang corrected.
He turned sideways, looked at Shimen, and said calmly: "It's already at this time, isn't Your Excellency showing up yet?"
There was no sound in the tunnel, Yu Shusheng and the others noticed something, and stared at Shimen, holding their breath.
“.This is really boring,”
Li Ang shook his head, "What do you mean, the murderer who attacked Yu Yuan and killed Liao Kaifeng and Yan Yan, the holder of Zhenghunxiang, Wang Linian."
Boom—
The stone door slowly opened, revealing the middle-aged man standing behind the door—it was the leader of this team, the monk Wang Linian of the Taiyuan Wang family's cloud patrolling realm.
He was still the same as before, holding a long sword and looking at Li Ang and the others expressionlessly.
"how come."
Yu Scholar was dumbfounded, Wang Li Nian was not killed, he arrived here one step ahead of them, and according to Lu Fei's words, he also killed Yu Yuan, Liao Kaifeng, Yan Yan and others?
Didn't they say they wanted to search and rescue Chu Haoman together?
"Why?!"
Yu Yong clenched his teeth and cursed: "Your Wang family invited us here, why did you attack us again in the incident?
Even if your Wang family has some shady secrets hidden here, you can still come forward and use Zhenghunxiang to let us leave before we find out the secret."
"The incense of the soul is gone."
Wang Li Nian looked at Yu Yong and spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse and rough like gravel, "Besides, you don't need to act anymore, your so-called brother Yu Yuan was just a puppet. His body fragments are in your hands.
If my guess is correct, you should have the inheritance of the ancient sect of the Southern Zhou Dynasty——Xiyingmen. "
Yu Yong's complexion changed abruptly, and even the thread in his hand trembled.
He turned his head to look at Yu Shusheng again, and said indifferently: "And you should have some kind of alienated object in your hand that can turn evil into good luck. Neither I personally hunted down, nor Liao Kaifeng and Yan Yan could kill you .”
“.”
Yu Shusheng pursed his lips tightly, without saying a word, acquiescing to Wang Linian's words.
"As for you"
Wang Li Nian looked at Li Ang, said in silence for a long time: "My biggest mistake was to let you join the team. If you weren't invited to make up the number, all this would not be so complicated at all."
"I'll take this sentence as a compliment."
Li Ang smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Ji Xingwang and the others, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, there is still a while before the Qishui evil spirits chase after them, let me explain what happened in Qishui Village."
