pumice!
When I came out of the sea of suffering, I encountered the pumice stone in the endless abyss. It was made of exactly the same material and had the same texture and stone carvings. It was just a medium size, just enough for a person to lie down on it.
This kind of pumice stone gave him the feeling of...a coffin, a coffin that had been used to fake death and live for eternity.
It's just that it appears here now, and there is no one inside.
Now there are four or five middle-aged men sitting cross-legged in the small courtyard playing Hu cards. Hu cards are a kind of playing cards carved from animal bones. They are a folk game and were played by old people in the Western Qin Dynasty. The origin is unknown. It is said that this game was invented.
The years of playing cards can be pushed up endlessly.
Pumice was sat down by these men, and it didn't matter.
Xin Zhuo subconsciously entered the yard and looked at the cards. He couldn't understand and just looked at them. The people here seemed to be very friendly to "Axu's family" and were willing to say hello to him. After chatting with a bearded man for a while,
Finally, he casually pointed at the pumice stone and asked: "This stone is quite interesting, the pattern is very beautiful!"
"Isn't this a coffin?" A group of people looked at him in surprise.
Xin Zhuo: "?"
Okay, let’s just say it directly.
The bearded man said: "This is called the Ninth World Coffin. It is divided into nine grades. Each grade has a price. It is only made once every many years. If someone orders it, we will sell it. In the future, if someone orders it, I will teach you!"
"Yeah, okay." Xin Zhuo nodded numbly.
Are those pumice stones made by people here?
After watching for a while, he walked out of the yard pretending to be casual, and then went to the next yard. As expected, there were some strange innate spiritual creatures in each yard.
Moreover, he found that the people in the village were not engaged in production, they were all playing, raising some small animals or poultry at most, and they didn't seem to eat much.
After walking around in a long circle, I unknowingly arrived in front of a strange building. The bricks and tiles were dark brown, and the overall shape was an unequal oval, like a... shit.
He took a few steps back and looked again, feeling like a ball of fire again.
This place is in the south direction of the village. If you look at it according to the Bagua diagram, it is located in the Li hexagram of the central axis. The thirty-third hexagram of the sixty-four innate hexagrams is the sign of Li fire!
The door of the building was closed but unlocked. Xin Zhuo thought for a while, walked to the door, opened the door, and felt a rotten smell.
Opposite is a statue of a god. It is hard to tell which god it is from this world. It is dressed in Taoist robes and has a solemn expression.
There is a couplet on both sides of the statue:
"The supreme being who has lived for ten thousand years will eventually become a withered bone!"
"Practice for hundreds of lifetimes, but turning around will be in vain!"
These sixteen words don't have much meaning, but if you look at them carefully, you can't help but give people a feeling of loneliness and frustration, as if everything is empty and everything is empty.
Xin Zhuo felt his scalp numb inexplicably. He looked down along the statue and saw a pile of tablets. Looking carefully at the names of the tablets, he felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the sky.
There are a bunch of Jiang families, mixed with Zhang families and Lu families, one of whom is "Lu Yu'er's position!"
Lu Yuer is the girl in red in front.
Is she dead?
"Ahem..."
At this moment, a coughing sound suddenly came from behind.
Xin Zhuo turned around and saw a gray-haired old man with age spots on his face. He couldn't tell how old he was. He stared at him with a pair of muddy old eyes: "Axu family, what are you doing here at the longevity temple?
"
Xin Zhuo smiled: "I walked around casually and ended up here without knowing it. Don't blame me!"
The old man nodded, hunched over and walked to the tablet, gently wiped the tablet, and said in a vicissitudes of voice: "People are going to die anyway. Put the tablet in advance to save trouble later!"
Xin Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief: "That makes sense!"
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Do you all know Jiang Taixu?"
Considering his age, this old man would not talk nonsense.
"I forgot, I think we know each other." The old man said without turning around.
Xin Zhuo was silent for a while and walked out of the longevity temple.
The snow has melted and the air is a bit cold.
This village was very different from the one he had imagined when he came here, which was peaceful, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and simple and natural. It was more like a place that was full of weirdness and lifeless.
"Then who..."
Jiang Dagou came from a distance with blue eyes and staggering steps. He looked pitiful and asked, "Did you see Lu Yu'er again today?"
Xin Zhuo nodded.
Jiang Dagou asked: "Did you talk to her?"
Xin Zhuo still nodded.
Jiang Dagou said mysteriously: "You are finished, Lu Yu'er will peek at you every day!"
"I don't seem to have anything to lose. If she wants to see it, just watch it!" Xin Zhuo said.
Jiang Dagou's eyes widened: "Zhang Fathu doesn't want to!"
"Who is Zhang Fathu?" Xin Zhuo was surprised.
"I!"
An angry roar came from behind. It was a fat man, two heads taller than Xin Zhuo and Jiang Dagou. He arrived before he could reach his big belly. He looked down at Jiang Dagou: "Yes, I don't want to!"
Jiang Dagou was startled for a moment and pointed at Xin Zhuo: "Lu Yu'er is looking at him, not me. What are you looking at me for?"
The fat man said angrily: "I'm not familiar with him, and I couldn't beat Ah Xu back then. Anyway, I beat everyone, so I'll beat you to vent my anger."
"You are right!"
Jiang Dagou lay down calmly and hugged his head.
The fat man's fist as big as a sandbag was like a violent storm.
Xin Zhuo rubbed his eyebrows, no one seemed normal here.
It wasn't until the two of them finished that they took out two cups from their arms, filled them with water from the Moon Watching Well, and said frankly: "I'll treat you two to a drink of water, the sweet water brought from outside!"
"you……"
Unexpectedly, the two of them roared angrily as if they had seen a ghost: "People in Changshou Village don't drink water, are you crazy?"
Sayazi ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
People in Changshou Village don’t drink water?
Xin Zhuo stayed where he was.
…
Seventeen days.
Life in Changshou Village was extremely boring. For seventeen days, Xin Zhuo felt as if seventeen days had passed.
However, these days, with his ability to socialize outside, he has become very familiar with the villagers very easily. He can clearly understand the number of people in each household and their temperament.
After inquiring, I found that every household has some weird innate spiritual objects with different shapes and cannot tell what they do. It gives him a feeling that... these things are very useful, but you can't find the secret.
It's a pity that the people in the village don't drink water, absolutely don't drink water, and they only eat dry grains. It seems that drinking even a little water will kill them, which makes it impossible to implement his plan to worship the spirits.
, he couldn't tell whether these people were masters of disguise or neurotic fantasy people.
After walking out of the room, the yard was clean and spotless. Nuying and Jiang Zichong were playing games. When Xin Zhuo came out, she obediently called "Uncle/Uncle" and continued playing.
In the main house, Ji Jiuwei, the old lady with Xiongzhao, Yam Yao and Bai Xuanji were still staring at Shennong Ding, "thinking about it", and seemed to have figured out some clues.
Aunt Hei, Aunt Bai and Chanyi couldn't sit still. They quietly left the village a few days ago, saying they were doing some shopping to get information. However, they never came back for more than ten days.
On the other hand, the old lady and Li Yun took care of the housework every day, which was very hard.
Xin Zhuo held a pile of carved stone tablets in his arms and walked to the corner of the yard. These stone tablets were the formation stakes of the Little Seven-Star Killing Formation. He had been studying them for many days, using the Shennong Xiantian Cauldron as the eye of the formation, and placed them around the yard. Set up the formation.
Go to the direction of stem A7 and insert the stone tablet into the hole made in advance in the ground.
Then walk out of the door.
Opposite, the girl in red, Lu Yu'er, secretly watched him from behind a big tree. This "peeping" had lasted for seventeen days.
Farther away, Zhang Panghu was peeking at Lu Yu'er, which lasted for seventeen days.
Xin Zhuo smiled at the two of them and looked at the formation in the entire yard. He felt dazed when he saw it, because the formation worked, but its effect was very small, but there were countless "formation masters" like him in the village. "The ripples visible to the naked eye are like the word "forbidden" one by one, just like the forbidden word when Zhe Feiyan forced the Five Elements True Qi to open.
Is this... an ancient prohibition?
Is Changshou Village itself a large formation?
