I opened my eyes wide and looked at the note in my hand, and didn't say a word for a long time.
In the end, it was Grandma Garma who spoke first, "Hu Tian, come with me! If you have anything to do, go back to where I live first. After all, this is not the place to talk."
When the little girl heard what Granny Karma said, she immediately became anxious and said, "Grandma, this person..."
But before the little girl finished speaking, Granny Karma interrupted her.
Grandma Garma smiled and touched the little girl's head, and then said in a kind tone: "Don't worry, little Dolma! This person is a friend of Grandma. There were just some misunderstandings before. You go back first and tell me The elders are gathering in my house, I have something to tell them."
The girl named Xiao Zhuoma frowned. After a long time, she reluctantly nodded, turned around and ran towards the darkness.
Seeing Little Dolma running back, Grandma Garma turned around and gave the two guys a few instructions.
Granny Karma spoke in the local dialect for a long time, but I couldn't understand a word. I just knew that the two guys listened very seriously, and finally bowed deeply to Granny Karma. I reluctantly carried the other two guys I knocked over and staggered back one step at a time.
After sending everyone away, Granny Karma turned to look at me and asked, "How is it? Do you want to come with me?"
I looked at the note in my hand, and after a long time I slowly raised my head and said, "Yes! Lead the way!"
Granny Karma did not speak, she just nodded slowly, then turned around and walked forward step by step.
Grandma Karma and I didn't speak during the whole journey. Each of us was thinking about our own thoughts.
I don’t know what Granny Karma was thinking, but all my thoughts were eroded by the writing and symbols on the note.
"Did I really write this note myself?"
"What's up with the mark that belongs to Yiyuanzhai? Could it be left by my father again?"
"Why did it appear at that time?"
"Is it true that the death of the great lama Gengnan had nothing to do with Granny Karma?"
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Can anyone give me an answer?"
Answer?
There is no answer.
Or to be precise, at least there is no answer yet.
I didn't speak, and the questions one after another were like big rocks weighing on my heart, making me lose my energy.
I worked hard to adjust my breathing and followed Granny Karma step by step.
Grandma Garma was very familiar with this place and took me upstream along the Naihe River for a while. After bypassing several boulders, we drilled into a natural cave on the rock wall.
Although this cave is naturally formed, after I walked inside for a while, I found that it gradually began to show traces of artificial polishing.
And as the depth increases little by little, the traces of artificial construction become heavier and heavier.
I paid careful attention to the details of every corner in the cave, for fear that I would get lost. But this place seemed to have been carefully designed by someone. It was as complicated as the ecstasy Bagua formation. After twists and turns, I started to turn around.
Since I couldn't remember the road, I simply stopped trying to remember it and just followed Granny Karma and walked forward cautiously.
As I walked, I vaguely felt that this way of walking around was somewhat similar to the One-Way Qimen Dunjia that my grandfather gave me.
"Hu Tian, Hu Tian, you are a bit too sensitive. There are only a few formations in the world, and it is inevitable to have some similarities. Don't be so arrogant." I comforted myself as I walked.
The two of us walked in the cave like this for about seven or eight minutes. Suddenly, there was a bright light not far ahead, and then an underground village appeared in front of me.
This village is not big, with less than a hundred households in total.
However, for me, it was almost shocking to see such a large village underground.
I looked at the houses with earth and stone structures in front of me, the alternating streets, and the heavily armed guards. I couldn't help but swallow hard, as if I had never seen the world.
Granny Karma saw my expression and couldn't help but smile and said, "Welcome to Naihe Village."
I looked at Grandma Gama and asked in surprise: "Naihe Village? What is this name? Why is it so strange?"
Grandma Garma smiled and explained: "The so-called Naihe Village, as the name suggests, is a village built according to Naihe. Most of the people here are people who have been abandoned by Moro City, just like lonely ghosts. If you can’t escape reincarnation in heaven, you can’t enter hell and be reincarnated..."
Grandma Garma sighed when she said this, and looked at the people in Naihe Village with a very complicated look. After a while, she continued: "They can only wander around Naihe helplessly until the end of their lives."
I looked at the people in Naihe Village and found that all of them had big heads and thin bodies, and were skinny. Their skin was as white as paper, with no trace of blood at all. It was obviously caused by not seeing the sun all year round. .
After a long time, I asked: "That's why you established Naihe Village for them here, right?"
But what surprised me was that Grandma Garma shook her head and said, "I did not build this village."
I asked in surprise: "Oh? You didn't establish it? But I heard they called you Saint..."
Granny Karma smiled and said: "It's true that I am their saint. But I used to be just like these people, a poor thing wandering around...until I met him..."
I looked at Granny Karma and asked, "Him? Who are you referring to?"
Grandma Garma looked at me, then turned her eyes to the village, and murmured: "Your father. It was he who founded Naihe Village, and it was he who saved me."
Hearing what Granny Karma said, I almost didn’t believe my ears. I stared at Granny Karma for a while, then stammered and asked: "What? This place was... established by our old man. ?How could this happen...?"
Granny Karma sighed before I could finish my words and interrupted me, "Let's go! Let's go into the village first! The elders are still waiting for you inside."
After saying that, Granny Karma immediately walked towards the village.
But I still stood there blankly, not fully understanding what was going on for a while.
I thought to myself: "Old man, old man, you are hiding so well! What have you been doing outside for so many years? You actually built a village here behind your family's back? If things continue like this, you may not be able to survive. What's going to happen?"
I was in a daze. Seeing that I didn't follow, Granny Karma stopped, turned around and shouted at me: "Hu Tian, what's the matter? You don't want to enter the village?"
Granny Karma's voice made me come back to my senses in an instant. After responding, I ran towards her in large strides.
With Granny Karma leading the way, the journey into Naihe Village was smooth.
Many people may have heard about my previous conflict with them by the river. All the masters who passed me along the way looked at me angrily. Some of them thought they were very strong. Guy, he even went out of his way to hit me.
Faced with such a provocation, I, the intruder, could only touch my nose helplessly, smile and sigh: "If it weren't for the sake of our old man, I would have beaten you even to the point of my own mother. I can’t even recognize him.”
Grandma Garma who was walking in front couldn't help but stop when she heard what I said, turned her head and smiled at me: "You should understand them! You killed their river god, so they are naturally full of hatred for you."
I asked in surprise: "River God? That guy who looks like a monkey is the River God? Where can a River God grow up to have that kind of virtue?"
Grandma Garma smiled helplessly and shook her head, turned around and continued walking forward. As she walked, she said slowly: "That thing is Naihe's water monkey. It has always relied on fantasy to attract prey to the bait, so as to capture it." Food. As the saying goes, rely on mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to drink water. With the geographical conditions of Naihe Village, there is no way to farm, so we can only rely on Naihe to survive. People in the village will pay tribute to the water monkey every once in a while, and this water monkey In exchange, some food will be provided to the villagers regularly..."
Having said this, Grandma Garma sighed, "And you just killed it and dismembered it... Think about it... how the villagers who have cut off their food rations will feel and have such an attitude towards you. Isn’t that normal?”
I gave a helpless smile and said, "So that's it! Actually, I didn't want to either. If I want to blame, I can only blame that guy for insisting on killing me. I did it out of self-defense..."
The two of us walked forward slowly while talking like this. After a while, Granny Karma waited for me to walk to the largest house in Naihe Village.
The door of this room was open and the light was on inside. Standing outside the room, you could faintly hear someone whispering something.
Granny Karma did not rush in, but coughed twice outside. When the voices in the house gradually faded away, she opened the curtain and walked into the stone house from the outside, and I followed her closely. behind.
The house is very large, with three rooms inside and outside, and there are seven people in the outermost hall.
Five of these seven people are men. They are not too young. They are all wearing black robes. They look very serious and have a sense of self-reliance.
Sitting next to them was the little girl I had seen before in Naihe. She was the one who was talking in the room just now.
This girl named Xiao Zhuoma didn't seem to have a good impression of me. When she saw me coming in, her eyes immediately opened up and she glared fiercely, as if I was the enemy who killed his father.
I guess she probably didn't say anything nice about me in the room just now.
I'm such a big person, and to be honest, I really don't like competing with a little girl. Seeing her looking at me with fire in her eyes, I smiled bitterly twice, then turned my eyes away and looked at the woman next to her.
This woman is around fifty years old, but what makes me strange is that this woman's appearance, skin, and figure are extremely inconsistent with this place.
Not only does it not fit in well with this place, even if this woman were thrown into the outside world, she would still be absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. Even the most picky man in the world would not only be moved by her when he sees her.
