Under the blurry moonlight, there were gusts of night wind blowing on the tomb mountain. Zhang Hazi's words were like a basin of ice water poured on me, making me so frozen that I lost the ability to think at that moment.
For a long time, I followed Zhang Hazi like a zombie, walking step by step towards the top of the mountain.
It wasn't until another gust of cold mountain wind hit me that I woke up from the shock.
I remember Xie Liushang told me that what his father Xie Chuanyin said to him at that time was, "Guawazi, everyone in our village can be saved, we are going to Shenxianling to become gods!" '
Zhang Hazi is right. Before Xie Chuanyin and the others died, there were only the tombs of their Xie family's ancestors on this mountain. There were no 'gods' created by hiding from the sky, so this mountain would definitely not be called that at that time. It is called Shenxianling, otherwise the people of Xiejia Village would have known that Shenxianling is the ancestral tomb mountain in their village.
Since Shenxianling didn't exist at that time, why did Xie Chuanyin know that the place he was going to was called Shenxianling? Who told him that this mountain would become the Immortal Ridge? Who told him that they would become immortal immortals in the near future?
My grandma!
Or rather, my grandparents.
Zhang Hazi said that it was precisely because your grandma knew in advance that people would die every day in Xiejia Village, so she hung the painting in advance. When people from Xiejia Village went up the mountain, they would only think that the mountain was the real place after the painting was hung. Mountain, so no doubt can be cast.
I understand the logic. If it had been done after the man-made disaster, the Xie family would have become extremely cautious by then, and they might have discovered something unusual. Even if they can't get into the painting, they can still find the place where the scroll is hidden. When the scroll is taken away, all my grandma's designs will be gone.
With the meticulous nature of my grandparents, they would never allow such uncontrollable risks to exist. Therefore, the painting must have been hung before Xie Chuanyin and others died one after another, and conditions were set that only their blood, that is, I could enter.
If this is the case, then the secret hidden in the Immortal Ridge was probably created by my grandparents!
I cannot accept this fact.
I tried to find some loopholes. For example, if my grandparents were the ones who encouraged Xie Chuanyin to go to Shenxianling, why didn’t anyone in Xiejia Village know about the existence of my grandparents?
Also, if my grandma went up to the mountain and hung that painting, wouldn’t the Xie family also be able to find some clues when they put it all together afterwards? Why do the Xie family have no memory of my grandparents visiting their village?
Zhang Hazi said, with your grandfather's ability to drive away corpses, if you just get a corpse to send a message, isn't it just like taking cake from a jar - it's so easy?
He went on to say, as for hanging paintings, there was ten years between the time Xie Chuanyin went to Shenxianling and his death. As long as during this time, your grandma went to hang paintings on the mountain behind Xiejia Village, it would not cause any trouble to the Xie family at all. Note that even if they review the situation afterwards, they will naturally not be able to remember your grandma as a person.
Zhang Hazi's words shattered all my persistence. I know that no matter how much I don't want to believe it, the facts before me all prove that this painting is left to me, and only I can enter it; and only my grandma can paint it to this extent. ; Then it is basically certain that the man-made disaster decades ago was planned by my grandparents!
But why do they do that? What is the purpose of creating so many people who are hiding from the truth?
I know that before doctors perform surgeries, they always use dummies to practice their skills. Could it be that my grandparents also used them to practice their craftsmanship so that they can be used on me in the future?
Zhang Hazi shook his head and said, don't ask me now, I don't know either. I guess only after entering the Old Immortal Ridge will I know the motives of the older generation.
I nodded to show that I understood. After all, Zhang Hazi is not a god, so it is impossible for him to be able to analyze everything. Besides, not even a god can analyze the known conditions given now.
Approaching the top of the mountain, Zhang Hazi stopped again and said to me, "Hazuzu, although I don't know why your grandparents set up this trap, but I have a feeling that they set this trap up for no reason." They themselves are probably not looking for luck for you.
I was a little confused and asked him, why do you feel this way?
He said, one possibility I can think of now is that your grandfather Luo Chaoting knew that he could not break the nine-character fate situation with his mastery of drip craftsmanship, but he knew that there was someone who could. But this man was unwilling to teach him this craftsmanship, so your grandfather offered to hide it from him in exchange.
This person is Xie Chuanyin!
In other words, as long as you find Xie Chuanyin, you can find a way to resurrect Ling Jiang!
Zhang Hazi said that it is possible that there is no need to find Xie Chuanyin, but only to enter the Shenxian Ridge. If my guess is correct, when they made the deal, it was Xie Chuanyin who hid the method of bringing the dead back to life in the Immortal Ridge, and did not let your grandparents go in to learn it, so their descendants could only come and get it.
If that's the case, then I feel a little better. What I fear most is that in order to obtain this craftsmanship, my grandparents would not hesitate to kill all the people in Xiejia Village who are proficient in craftsmanship.
I believe that my grandparents have this ability, and they even concocted a set of lies about immortality for Xie Chuanyin and others, so that they could die full of hope.
But now that Zhang Hazi has made this speculation, I decided to believe him unconditionally. And silently warned myself in my heart, this is the truth!
With this belief, Zhang Hazi and I finally returned to the top of the mountain.
By the light of the moon in the sky, I looked at the top of the mountain full of tombs and felt a sigh of relief in my heart. Before, I thought this place was like a man-eating beast, but now I not only came here on my own initiative, but I even hoped to find clues here and find the entrance to the Immortal Ridge.
This ups and downs happened so quickly that it was hard for me to accept it for a while.
Zhang Hazi was not as emotional as I was. He walked straight to Xie Chuanyin's tombstone, then reached out and groped around on the tombstone, as if he wanted to find clues to the entrance in this way.
But after searching for a while, he found no new clues except for frowning.
He sat down in front of the tombstone. Let me tell you, go and look at this card and see if it looks weird?
I took out my phone, turned on the flash, and shined it on the tombstone. I looked at it clearly from top to bottom, left to right, and found nothing wrong.
I asked Zhang Hazi if his guess was wrong?
He frowned and pondered for a moment, and then told me that the guess was correct, but the decoding method might be wrong.
Let me tell you, doesn't the decoding method point to the tombstone of this tomb? Are there any other hints?
Zhang Hazi said, "Don't you forget your old age? We all walked out of that painting at once?"
I thought about it and said, I made a dummy and buried it in the grave.
Zhang Hazi nodded and said, therefore, this should be the real decoding method.
I didn't think about it, so I asked him, is it possible to get a dummy and bury it in this grave?
Zhang Hazi shook his head and said, instead of making a dummy, we should bury ourselves in it!
