Confused, You Tianchen asked who the person was. The person hadn't spoken yet, so he motioned for him to look back.
He turned around and observed carefully, and was unknowingly frightened. The ancient town was a decaying city, with countless dead bones stacked on the streets. It was completely different from the bustling and bustling city just now.
This is a ghost town!
You Tianchen was suddenly rescued and couldn't help but be grateful. He looked at the man who saved him. He was wearing colorful embroidered native clothes. He was probably an ethnic minority in the Sichuan and Sichuan areas. After being shocked, he also became curious about the ancient town. If it was a ghost town, it would be impossible. There is no resentment at all, and it is even exactly the same as an ordinary ancient town. You Tianchen is very curious about what kind of place this is, which can change in an instant and confuse people.
The mountain people told me that this ancient city was a guard city guarding the Yinping Ancient Road as early as the Ming Dynasty!
What a guard city!
The Weisuo City originated from the Weisuo system of the Zhu Dynasty. When the Zhu Dynasty founded the country, it drew on the historical experience of raising troops in the fields and created an army-building system that combined troops with farming and garrison defense.
Each family sent out one regular soldier as a soldier, and the rest were remnants of the army. In order to avoid desertion, when the court recruited soldiers, they often sent soldiers thousands of miles away from home to serve as soldiers thousands of miles away. The mountains were high and the roads were long. To avoid the danger of military households escaping, in order to stabilize the military men, they could be allowed to bring their wives with them. As long as they settled down in Weisuo City, they could have children. The court would also give each military man a house, land, and a monthly payment. They were given a fixed monthly grain and money to meet their daily needs. They served as soldiers in wartime and farmed in leisure time. They sometimes rotated with each other to ensure self-sufficiency.
To the west of the Yinping Ancient Road is the Wusi Tibetan area, which is very dangerous. Although there is no human habitation here, the Zhu Dynasty still set up a guard city here to defend the country.
Later, after the former dynasty entered the customs, it continued to encroach on the territory of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and finally had to settle in Yunnan. This became the front line for the small court of the Nanming Dynasty to fight against the former dynasty. As the young emperor of the Nanming Dynasty was hanged with a bowstring, this place Junhu Castle was subsequently massacred by the previous dynasty.
It can be said that this ancient city actually ceased to exist at least three hundred years ago. However, because the military households were loyal to the Zhu Dynasty for generations and were occupied by the previous dynasty, their ghosts lingered after death and still lived in the ancient town. , Yin Qi prevails near Yinping, which also causes these evil spirits to be immortal and exist forever. If there is a thunderstorm, you can often see the ancient town bustling as before.
No matter how real these things are, they are still the innocent souls of hundreds of years ago. Once a person gets lost in them, there is no way to escape. It is easy to become a lonely ghost. Just now, if the mountain people hadn't pulled him back , if he stays here for one night, he will definitely freeze to death.
You Tianchen told the mountain people about his plan, which was to save the innocent souls of the Yinping Ancient Road. Before he finished speaking, the mountain people laughed. The mountain people were heartbroken when they saw his ancient road and told him straightforwardly that there were thousands of innocent souls in Yinping. It is impossible for him to achieve salvation by himself!
Out of curiosity, he definitely wanted to ask the mountain people why. The mountain people told him that in addition to generations of massacres, this place used to belong to the Kingdom of the Witch God, and countless Wu Nuo formations had been set up. As long as a person died here, no matter whether he was wronged or not, , will become souls, wandering among the thousands of mountains in Yinping.
If we talk about saving the souls of the dead, then the old Taoist priest of Heming Mountain is from the Southwest Taoist Sect. Doesn’t he have this ability? Since Heming Mountain has been guarding this place for thousands of years and has not been able to save the souls of the dead, it is not easy for him as a traveling Taoist priest to save the souls of the dead.
This persuasion made You Tianchen stop thinking about saving the souls of the dead. At the same time, he also became suspicious of the mountain people. They said that the Yinping Ancient Road was uninhabited. The mountain people were so familiar with the ancient road, and it was very likely that they were not living people. He took the He picked up the mahogany sword and prepared to try it. The mountain man seemed to have read his mind and told him that he came from the Yinping witchland, which he called the witch god's legacy country.
This shocked You Tianchen, and he became curious about the Witch God's Legacy Country that the mountain people were talking about. After talking about it, the mountain people decided to take him to the Witch God's Legacy Country.
The two waited in a cave for the sun to rise. They crossed countless wild mountains and walked into a certain river. The mountain people said that no one could find the Witch God's Relic Country. Only by being led in by the Wu mountain people could they find the way in.
You Tianchen wanted to continue on the way he came, but halfway there, his eyes were so sleepy that he fell asleep. When he woke up, he had been taken to the Witch God's Relic Country by the mountain people.
Out of curiosity, he asked the mountain people why he fell asleep. The mountain people only said that this was the protection of the tribe by the Witch God's legacy country. Outsiders would only fall asleep when they passed by the entrance and exit corridors to ensure that outsiders would never know who was going in and out of here. Paths and methods.
At this point, You Tianchen found out that the mountain man's name was Dongjin, and he was the future leader of the tribal village. The old village leader was still in office, but he no longer took care of things most of the time, leaving this mountain man in charge.
During this trip, You Tianchen stayed here for nearly half a year. He and Ren Dongjin called themselves brothers and had a good chat over wine. He also saw the magic of the Witch God's legacy country. He also used his Maoshan Taoist medicine to treat several Gu people's old diseases. Everything here was like a paradise, and he even had the intention of not leaving the Kingdom of the Witch God.
After the death of the old village leader, Ren Dongjin was preparing to succeed him as the leader of the tribe. At this time, a rebellion broke out in the tribe. Ren Dongjin was tricked by the hostile forces into using witchcraft and fell to the ground and died. Before his death, he passed away his wife Jiang Qingyu. Please give it to You Tianchen, let You Tianchen take her far away.
The two of them fled all the way under the cover of their trusted aides. They did not feel at ease until they escaped outside the ancient village of Yinping. At this time, Jiang Qingyu was seriously injured and was about to give birth. If she continued to flee, she and her children would be in danger, killing one and two. .
Jiang Qingyu could only use the technique of inducing labor to push the child down first, and let You Tianchen hold her and leave first. When the child was born, Jiang Qingyu had exhausted all her strength, and finally had to take out the jade pendant and put it on the child, and then passed away.
You Tianchen first buried Jiang Qingyu, and then fled with the young child. At this time, he was alone, begging for rice cereal along the way, and then saved the child.
He knew that it was inconvenient for him to take care of his child, so he decided to find a pair of parents for the child. Ren Wude happened to have told him that he wanted to start a family and start a business. In desperation, he decided to go to Tudong Town to find a way to survive. m.
After You Tianchen arrived in Tudong Town, Ren Wude was running a pharmacy and was even married. His wife was about to give birth, so he entrusted the child to Ren Wude and his wife. After that, in order to take care of the child, he also settled down in Fengtou Mountain. Establish the Phoenix Temple to eliminate disasters and solve problems.
After the old Taoist priest talked about these experiences, the past flashed before his eyes like smoke, and he couldn't help but wet his eyes: "I miss my brother Dongjin, if he hadn't died yet, he would probably be as gray-haired as me now."
Some people died, but not completely...
