Otherworldly Merchant

“Jiulin, tell me what you found over there.” Liu Lao Liu said.

“The name of this village is strange. It's called Innocence Village. Although remote, it can be a long way forward and has a long history. It is also said that a number of antiques have been discovered, most of them from the Tang dynasty. ”

“Since its establishment, the village has had very few foreign surnames, with only two very rare surnames: female and ghost. ”

“The villagers said that the feng shui in this area chosen by the ancestors was good. Although it was a little remote and impoverished, the wind and rain had been smooth and not flooded. Over the years, there was not even an early dead person in the village, almost all of whom could live to be eighty or ninety years old. ”

“Although the village is right next to the Usuri River, no matter how many floods, even upstream and downstream, the village has been safe and sound. ”

“According to them, there is a tortoise living under the village, which is the tortoise that protects them, so every year at the festival, they throw salt meat on the riverside to feed the tortoise, and even if the villagers accidentally catch the little turtle, they let it live. That's pretty much it.” I paused and asked the two of them, “What have you two found? ”

Liu Lao Liu answered the question: “I didn't look for anyone, but I snuck around the river and found a very strange great acacia tree! The tree is neither tall nor large, but the roots of the tree are seven twists and turns and turns for some years, and a cluster of green buds has emerged on the roots. You know, at this time, but the coldest season in the northeast, commonly known as 39499, don't say that even the trees have been frozen to death for many years, which is obviously a little odd. ”

Jiang Daqi twisted his eyebrows and asked anxiously: "The big tree you're talking about is in Jiangkou Bay? ”

“Yeah! How do you know that?” Liu Lao Liu turned his head strangely.

"I pretended to borrow a cigarette and found an old man who looked older than me. According to him, in earlier years, the village was supplied with a large red stone, and every newborn boy had to worship in front of the stone, saying that it had been brought from his ancestral land by the elderly. The pattern was full of strange shapes. When the communication - leather - was broken, the city and Zhiqing had to smash it. Several people had just hit the stone with a big hammer and flashed their hips. ”

“There was another one who blew himself up after detonating it. ”

“Since then, no one dares to move the stone idea anymore, but the villagers can't hold up to the accusation three times and five times above. Finally, they secretly burned the incense to confess, held a ceremony, threw the stone into the river, the place of the sinking river is the bay fork. Looks like the problem is with that rock! By the way, Mr. Zhang, what do you think most people in the village are called?” Jiang Dayi suddenly remembered what it looked like and asked me again.

“Women and ghosts.” I replied.

“Most of the antiques found here are from the Tang Dynasty?” Jiang Daqi asked.

“Yeah.” I still kind of nodded because I didn't know.

“Are you sure that's the acacia tree in the fork bay?” Jiang Dayi is asking Liu Lao Liu this time.

Liu Lao nodded and immediately seemed to understand something. The two men shouted in unison: “Wei! ”

“So that's it.” Jiang Daqiang threw up a cigarette.

“No wonder the dragon didn't dare approach!” Liu Liu also clapped his hands.

“Gentlemen, would you please stop playing dumb? What the hell did you find out?” I'm a little confused.

“Which Wei is the most famous in the Tang Dynasty?” Jiang Daqi sneered a hint.

“Then it must be Wei... I get it!” I was surprised.

Jiang Daqi told me about the history of Tang Wang Li Shimin being sent to explore the monuments among the underwater sites. It was also discovered that Tang Wang's sacred tenets, even nine of the ten Yin guards who had been earned by the corn, were dragon roar guards, and the rumors were not false.

The reason why Li Shimin sent someone to the festival was to listen to Huangshi Daoist say that Wei Zheng had slaughtered the dragon. He was deeply afraid that he would sin against God and relieve Li Tang of his sins.

Looks like this rock has something to do with Wei Zheng!

Liu Lao Liu explained: “Although Wei Zheng is Datang's first councillor, named Ling Yangcao, but shortly after his death, Li Shimin dug the grave and whipped the corpse. Moreover, he retracted the fate of marrying Princess Wei's family without precedent! Although the children have not yet been harmed, the Wei family was shocked. Even at night, they replaced several younger grandchildren with civilian children. The dispatchers blessed them all the way north and fled the Great Tang border. One of them drove Wei Zheng's horse for decades, stole a stone from Wei Zheng's grave and took it with him. ”

“When Li Shimin learned about this, he didn't pursue it, and after the defeat of Beifang Hun, he sighed. If Wei Qing was still here, why? Later, Wei Zheng's tomb was ordered to be rehabilitated. Strangely, not even half the tombstone was missing. Everyone thought it strange. Folklore has it that the old slave who took the tombstone is Wei Zheng's devilish servant. The stone is not an ordinary stone tablet, but Wei Zheng's hidden knife stone. It is said that the dragon slayer's knife was hidden in the stone. The stone was also full of dragon blood, enough to scare the ghost! ”

“Future generations have heard that they have also searched around the route of the Wei family's escape north, and want to get this stone. However, the Wei family was originally meant to avoid disaster, save the last bloodline, do not dare to have any contact with the relatives left in Chang 'an, the outsiders will not be able to find it...”

“I didn't expect them to change their names all the way north to get here! If we hadn't been separated by this river, we might have fled to the cold on the other side! No wonder this village is called Innocence Village. It turns out it has been praying for the forgiveness of the Tang Wang, and the whole family is not guilty. Unfortunately, they do not know that Li Shimin did not pursue blame at all. Even then, when he regretted it, he sent someone to find the whereabouts of the descendants of Wei Zheng. ”

“If this stone is really the dragon stone used by Wei Zheng that year, no wonder the dragon dares not approach! But how can we use it to surrender the dragon?” Liu Lao Liu Dao.

Though the truth has been revealed and the dragon descending thing has been finalized, it is still one last step away.

"Rumor has it that Wei Zheng's Dragon Slash Knife is bladeless and invisible. It was a magic soldier, no one knew exactly how to use it, so I went down to the bottom of the river and came back to discuss it.” After that, he knocked on the cigarette stick and stood up.

“Jiang Lao... seniors, your wounds are not yet ready.” I persuade.

When I heard about the elder Jiang, the body instinct of Jiang Da Fish bowed, as if he didn't dare. But soon he realized that Liu Lao Liu's old slippery head was still around him. He bent over and rolled up his pants and feet. “Although my wounds have not healed, I am much more watery than yours. Besides, with your insight, even if I go on, what can I tell? I'll go anyway. ”

Jiang Dayi was indistinguishable and went outside.

“Jiulin, you go with him. I'll find two dry clothes, get a pot of wine, and then I'll be there.” I don't know if Liu Lao Liu found anything. He rushed me to catch up with Jiang Da Fish and turned to the village himself.
