Duoxi Village is actually a small village in Zhuershan Town, and Xuershan is in Fenghuang County, which is the ancient city of Fenghuang.
Fenghuang Ancient City was built in the 35th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1556), and has a history of more than 400 years. The ancient city has gone through vicissitudes of life, but it is still well-preserved and its ancient style remains intact.
Also one of the "most beautiful small towns in my country", Fenghuang Ancient City is built along the Tuojiang River, and its planning has distinctive military features.
The towers, ancient courtyards and stone streets here are close to mountains and rivers, integrating with the natural landscape. From a distance, they look like an ink landscape painting.
Most of the villagers here are a mixture of Miao and Han people, but the majority are Miao.
After going down the mountain, I guessed that since the golden-armored zombie Styx could be buried here, the West Village would not be far away from here.
If you find the nearest place where the Miao people live, you should be able to find Duoxi Village.
When Qin Yujie and I went down the mountain, we met the man carrying the medicine basket again on the way out.
I was very surprised that I met this person twice, and I couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
But no matter how you look at it, this person has no cultivation, he is just an ordinary person.
Qin Yujie and I let down our guard to some extent, but we still paid a little attention to avoid missing anything.
This time, because we happened to meet this man carrying a medicine basket here, we started talking again.
From his words, I finally learned that this person was the one who captured the West Village.
I came out to look for medicine. I collected some things along the way and found out his name. His name was Sun Laojiu.
My eyes fell on his waist, which was a small copper stove, similar to an aromatherapy stove.
There were several thin cracks exposed on the stove lid. I activated the Blood Demon Eye Technique without being noticed.
Immediately he saw that there were many small insects in the small stove around Sun Laojiu's waist.
Seeing this, I thought: "Could it be that the Miao man in front of me is the so-called Gu Master?"
"What do the Miao people call them? I guess they are called Cao Gui Gong? They can perform witchcraft and Gu."
"I never expected that a random person I met would have these things on him."
Immediately he asked without changing his expression: "Oh, Brother Sun, I want to seize the West Village. This is very difficult now."
"My girlfriend and I have been out for a day and will not return. We plan to spend some time in Duoxi Village."
The Miao man named Sun Laojiu didn't doubt anything and enthusiastically showed me the way.
He signaled to Qin Yujie and I that we could follow him to take back the West Village. There were still many places for them to live here.
When Qin Yujie and I followed Sun Laojiu and returned to Duoxi Village, we noticed a lot of strange eyes.
They were all young people from this village. Many young women looked at me with a different light in their eyes.
Sun Laojiu, an old couple about sixty years old, found a place for me and Qin Yujie.
This family belongs to his second uncle, and there are only two of them, so there is an empty room in the family.
I came to seize the West Village with a purpose. Since this Sun Laojiu arranged for me to live in the home of this old couple.
It saves me the trouble of going out to inquire. Judging from the age of the two people, they should be able to know some things that happened decades ago.
The old couple were very warm and hospitable. They invited Qin Yujie and I into their home and cooked some unique Miao family delicacies for Qin Yujie and me.
During this period, I also learned the old man’s name, which was Sun Guocai, a native of Duoxi Village.
While eating, I was thinking about how I could get something I wanted to know out of the old man's mouth.
He took the initiative to bring it up and asked the old man to tell a story about witchcraft that happened in this village.
Sure enough, when the old man saw that I was a foreigner, he just thought I was curious and liked the witchcraft culture in western Hunan.
As he was explaining the story to me, the old man told me some ancient legends about the Miao people.
Naturally, I am not interested in hearing these ancient legends, but want to know the stories from recent decades.
But he still listened patiently to what the old man had to say, interrupting to chat from time to time.
After the old man told a few ancient legends, I interrupted at the right time: "Oh, Uncle Sun, your story is really good."
"Besides these ancient legends, are there any modern stories related to voodoo?"
"I want to listen to some modern stuff, it will definitely be interesting."
The old man gave me a puzzled look but didn't say anything. He thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is a story."
"However, I don't dare to tell this story because it involves some people, and it's not something I, an old man, can tell at will."
My heart moved, and I said without changing my expression: "What's wrong, Uncle Sun, it's just a story. Besides, it's just you and the three of us here."
"Even if you say it, no one will know what you said when I leave here, don't you think?"
Sun Guocai thought for a moment, shook his head, stopped talking, and lowered his head to think about something.
From time to time I said again: "Uncle Sun, are there any families named Su in this village?"
When I said my last name was Su, the old man was immediately taken aback and looked at me with surprise.
He stammered: "You, you, who are you? Why do you know the surname is Su?"
When I saw Sun Guocai's expression, I had an idea in my mind: What does Sun Guocai definitely know?
It's about Su Minghe, otherwise why, I just asked someone with the surname Su, and he had such a big reaction.
My expression gradually put away my smile, and I said softly: "Uncle Sun, how many people from the Su family still live in this village?"
"Young man, you haven't told me yet, who are you? There is no one named Su in this village. I don't know anything."
"Sorry, you are not welcome here. Please leave with your friends."
When the old man changed his previous enthusiasm, his face suddenly turned cold, and his tone seemed to be very bad.
There was no surprise in my heart. From the old man's expression just now, I realized that there was something wrong with this old man.
Even if the old man has no problem, the Su family is even taboo in this village.
No one should have mentioned it at all, but I left and made a quick decision in my mind.
Immediately, his face turned into an expression that said he had said something wrong, and he said to the old man: "Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Sun."
"Did I say something wrong? If so, I will apologize to you immediately. I just asked if there was anyone named Su."
"That's because my surname is also Su. I just asked casually. I didn't expect that it would violate a taboo."
After saying this, I stopped talking and waited for Sun Guo to speak.
After Sun Guocai heard what I said, the expression on his face gradually softened, and he sighed and said, "I'm sorry, young man."
"Whether your surname is Su or not, it's best not to talk about this surname again."
Sun Guocai didn't seem to want to pursue the question of whether my surname was Su. He just stopped talking after he finished speaking.
At night, Qin Yujie and I shared a room, but we didn't sleep.
Because today, I plan to eavesdrop on the conversation between Sun Guocai and his wife.
My actions today will definitely alarm them. I don't believe it. The two old people won't talk about it at night.
Sure enough, when I gathered my spiritual energy and lightened myself, I quickly came to the room of the two old people.
Sure enough, the voices of two old people came from the house, and I heard Sun Guocai talking to his wife.
"The young man today mentioned the Su family. How come it has been so many years and someone still mentions the Su family?"
"No one in the Su family has mentioned it for decades. Hey, I don't know where this young man came from."
"Is it intentional, or is there some conspiracy? Could it be that he came to seize the West Village on purpose?"
"If King Gu finds out, this kid will probably be killed by witch Gu immediately."
