The Little King Next Door

Chapter 338 The Secret in the Stele

The old man stared at Wang Ye, and asked after five or six seconds: "Do you understand ancient Xianbei language?"

Wang Ye: "At present, I only understand a little bit, but combined with the context, I can roughly guess it."

The old man didn't seem to believe it. There are very few people who understand the ancient Xianbei language. Even in their village, they only know what it means through word of mouth. Such a young man who looks at most thirteen or fourteen years old, he can understand that has been lost. Text?

Seeing that the old man didn't believe it, Wang Ye said what he understood: "Don't rise at sunset, don't speak ill, don't drink well water, and don't eat dog meat. Is that right?"

The old man looked at Wang Ye in shock, and said after a long time: "It's not dog meat, it's wolf meat."

Dahei: "Wow!"

The old man looked at Dahei with complicated eyes, not like fear, but more like missing something through Dahei.

Wang Ye rubbed Dahei's chin, "Wolf meat? That's right, there should be a lot of wolves at that time."

Dahei flicked his tail in comfort.

The old man stood up suddenly: "Come with me."

Wang Ye and Chong Lao looked at each other.

The old man turned his head and said: "Don't worry, we are not bad people, just ordinary villagers who want to live in peace and stability. I want to invite you to see something, there is also an ancient Xianbei language on it, but this language has been lost. After several disasters, some things left by our ancestors were lost, including the explanation in ancient Xianbei language. If you can understand it, I hope you can help translate it. In return, we will also help you find someone .”

Wang Ye said no problem.

Chong Lao is also very interested in the secrets hidden in this ancient text, and happily follows.

Leaving the caravan, the old man said to the two of them as he walked: "Please don't be angry because of my rude attitude. We still welcome foreign guests. It's just...we don't welcome guests who don't know the rules and make trouble. You disappeared last night. The three of them even made a scene that hurt people, if it were you, would you dare to keep such a guest?"

Wang Ye smiled, and asked slightly curiously: "Could it be that the tourists who came here before have never had any accidents?"

When Wang Ye asked this sentence, there was a little spiritual hint.

The old man paused and told the truth: "Of course there were people who didn't abide by the rules of the village and had accidents in the past. The higher-ups came to our village to investigate several times. At first, outsiders thought it was people from our village who were causing trouble, and the army came to our village. Searched, but found nothing in the end."

"But every time someone comes to search, our village will be in chaos for a while. We have also discussed whether to stop accepting outsiders, but this is not good for our village. In the end, everyone decided to let nature take its course. If If someone wants to come, they can come, and if they don’t want to come, we don’t force it.”

Wang Ye could sense that the old man wasn't lying, and asked again: "The people who came to investigate didn't find the missing person. Is that the case?"

"How can we just forget about it? Our village has been studied by the higher-ups." The old man sighed.

"There was once a senior official who saw the old village and thought it was profitable, so he wanted to forcefully transfer all the villagers out of the village, but the man died suddenly that night as soon as he gave the order. In the end, all the villagers in our village, old and young They were all taken away, the villagers were tortured, and we were asked to find out who assassinated the high official. The villagers couldn’t answer at all. Many villagers died that time, and some were permanently disabled as a result.”

"But three days later, a particularly thick fog fell on the camp. When the villagers woke up in the morning, they found that the officials and soldiers in the camp were missing. At the same time, all the people who occupied our village were also missing. The villagers said that I didn’t know anything at the time, so I helped each other back to the village. Since then, no one has dared to think about our village, and no one has asked our villagers to relocate. Except for some researchers who come to us from time to time to do some investigations Research."

The old man looked at the stone house in the village with emotion: "Nowadays young people like to go to big cities, and they don't like the rules in the village. It's okay not to eat wolf meat and not to drink well water, but at night they can't It is too difficult for young people to abide by the two rules of going out and not being able to tell people's right and wrong behind their backs. So now we don't see young people in our village, only old people and children."

The old man suddenly smiled proudly: "But once the young people who go out in our village have children, they will come back to give birth. Although our village is slightly behind the outside in terms of delivery methods, but from ancient times to the present, none of the pregnant women in our village suffered from dystocia. There was no accident, and none of the children were born sick, let alone deformed or demented."

The old man also flaunted: "Do you see that the living conditions in our village are not bad? Because of this, some people will come to us to give birth when the due date is due, especially the rich and poor. They will give us a lot of money. high pay."

"What if it is found to be a deformed child or Mongolian disease in the womb of a pregnant woman?" Wang Ye asked.

The old man smiled mysteriously, saying nothing.

Wang Ye sighed: "You haven't built a house with gold bricks yet, I feel very strange."

The old man laughed loudly: "This story is not widely spread. Because of the four rules in our village, we are unwilling to publicize it to the outside world, and not many people believe it. In addition, the current medical methods are superb. If the fetus is found to be unhealthy, it is basically She chose to have an abortion, and she would not come to us specially, just to seek a possibility."

Wang Ye thought so too.Unless the person is sick, unable to have an abortion, and the economy is relatively rich, and people who know this legend are likely to go to this village to wait for delivery, otherwise most people would rather choose the simpler abortion, which costs less and does not need to wait. Worry about whether you will be able to give birth to a healthy child until the time of delivery.

Perhaps the double buff of spiritual hints and "the old man loves to talk about ancient times" played a role. The old man and Wang Yexu talked a lot. At present, most of them are complaining that the tourists are free and disobedient. If something goes wrong, they will be blamed. The bad thing about it.

The old man looked very contradictory. Tourists can bring vitality to the village and bring economic benefits. In fact, everyone is willing to see new faces and make more money. But if tourists don’t obey and things happen, they have to accept the investigation and investigation from above. Suspect.Difficult!

"Here, this is my house." The old man invited Wang Ye and Chong Lao to enter the house and walked all the way to the backyard.

In the backyard of the old man's house there is a huge stone with a smooth side and many ancient characters engraved on it.

Wang Ye looked over intently. The ancient text on the stele had faded a little, and many places had become blurred. In addition, the handwriting was scribbled, making it difficult to identify.

He can only start with the characters he knows, and infer the blurred and scribbled characters a little bit.

As he recognized more and more characters, when the first sentence was understood by him, those fonts that had turned gray and light suddenly showed a faint purple light in Wang Ye's eyes.

The old man looked at Wang Ye expectantly.

Seeing Wang Ye's state, Mr. Chong frowned, and said to the old man: "Come back in a day, he has already seen it now, so don't bother him if you have nothing to do."

The old man nodded quickly, prepared tables, chairs, tea and snacks for the two of them, and then left.

For a whole day afterwards, Wang Ye stood in front of the stele without moving.

Chong Lao circled around the stele several times, knocking and perceiving it for a long time, but found nothing unusual.

But Wang Ye is obviously mentally invested.

Looking at the words on the stone tablet again, Chong Lao felt that the world was becoming more and more mysterious.

Maybe this world is not a simple magic-free world at all.

In the evening, the bearded old man brought over hot food, but was sent away by the old man.

At almost ten o'clock in the evening, the bearded old man came again and saw Wang Ye still standing in front of the stone tablet, while the middle-aged man with excellent temperament was sitting on a chair reading a book.

The old man was surprised and worried: "The sun will set in more than an hour. After midnight, the sky will be completely dark. Hasn't he seen the trick yet?"

Chong Lao raised his eyelids, and said calmly: "At that time, you just stay in the house and don't worry about us."

The old man looked at the big dog as tall as a horse beside them, then at Wang Ye who seemed to be fascinated, and thought of all kinds of strange things that had happened in the village since ancient times, and fell silent.

At this time, he could also see that this family was probably not ordinary people.

And it's not like most of the psychics on TV here are fooling people. They should be experts with real skills.

After zero o'clock, the sky darkened, and the old man stayed in the room, raising the curtains and looking towards the backyard, with a worried expression on his face.

He is the only one living in his house, and his wife is worried about his grandson who is in high school, so he will accompany him to study in other places.The son and daughter-in-law both work in nearby big cities and have not been back for several years.

Looking at the boulder in the backyard, the old man thought that neither his son nor his grandson seemed to have any intention of coming back to succeed him as the village head, and no one in his village knew those ancient characters, and no one had seen them for many years... Maybe it won't be long. The inheritance of this village will be completely cut off.

Suddenly, the old man stuck his whole body to the window.

Just now, there was a faint mist in the yard, but in an instant, the mist wrapped around the young boy standing in front of the stone tablet.

And the handsome middle-aged man grabbed at the fog in an instant.

The fog suddenly thickened, covering the handsome middle-aged man and the young boy.

The whole yard was covered by thick fog, and nothing could be seen.

The old man looked at the window on the other side. The side facing the street was the same as usual, with only a faint mist.

The old man ran back to the window in the backyard and stared outside, and soon he noticed something strange again.

There seemed to be a faint purple light in the thick fog, but it was very faint, and it was impossible to see it unless you looked carefully.

The old man stared at the thick fog for a long, long time.

In a flash, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

The old man stood up in surprise. He was sitting on the sofa chair in front of the window in the backyard, facing the backyard. He didn't even remember when he fell asleep.

Looking outside, the sky is already bright.

And in the backyard, the little boy was talking to his adults.

Wang Ye rubbed his forehead and murmured: "Master, you must not believe what I have seen."

Mr. Chong rubbed his apprentice's head, "Your master, I have encountered a lot of strange things in most of my life. Tell me, what have you seen?"

"I saw a person who was giving lessons to many people. It was an ancient scene, on a high mountain, in a magnificent palace building. Everyone sat cross-legged on a white jade square, surrounded by pillars and incense burners for incense, and the incense was lingering. There are white clouds floating on the mountainside, and the whole scene is full of fairy spirit."

While Wang Ye was talking, he was still rubbing his temples, and his head was hurting, as if he had overused his mental power.He has a low perception of pain, and it can make him hurt like this. One can imagine how high the pain is.

A wave of spiritual power flowed into his spiritual sea, like a cold stream flowing into a dry field. Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed a lot.

Lei Mu injected more spiritual power into him.

Wang Ye stroked the tender green filaments on his wrist, feeling warm in his heart.

Chonglao put his palm on the back of Wang Ye's neck, felt it carefully, took out a potion, and poured it down for his apprentice.

After Wang Ye drank the potion, the pain completely disappeared, and Lei Mu withdrew his mental power.

"Lazy, I don't even bother to drink potions." Mrs. Chong knew this little bastard well.

Wang Ye chuckled, "It will be fine in a while, it's not a big problem."

"Don't ignore any damage to your mental power! Don't think that you can do whatever you want if you have a strong mental power. There are many people who are stronger than you in this world." Zong Lao reprimanded.

"Oh." Wang Ye nodded obediently.

It was at this time that the old man ran into the backyard. Just as he was about to ask Wang Ye if he had understood the writing on the stone tablet, he saw the changes on the stone tablet. He was shocked and exclaimed, "Where are the inscriptions on the stone tablet?"

The inscription on the stele disappeared, as if it had never existed, and it seemed to have been directly erased by some force.

The old man threw himself on the stele, stroked the stele back and forth in disbelief, and went around to search behind the stele, but in the end he found nothing.

The old man returned to the front of the stele in frustration, looked at the blank stele, and was speechless in a daze.

Wang Ye and Chong had long discovered that the inscription on the stele had disappeared, and they didn't know how to comfort the bearded old man.

Wang Ye was a little guilty, he felt that he had taken advantage of others.

Although this stele does not belong to this village, it just landed here, and it is to find the inheritor, and whoever passes its test will be able to accept the inheritance.

The words on the stone tablet are actually an entrance to the inheritance, and it is also a test of inheritance. Only those who can "understand" those words and resonate with the words on the stone tablet can see the scene and know what the words on the stone tablet are. what's the matter.

Wang Ye specially opened the karma volume to check the karma of the stele.

This time he actually saw the end of his life on the stone tablet very easily.

In his previous life, he did not come to the Xibo Wilderness, and naturally he did not come to this Luohuang Village either.

This stone tablet has been staying here, and no one has discovered its secret.

There is no detailed time nor detailed process. Wang Ye only saw that this stele seemed to have gone through a long time. He saw that the house in front of the backyard changed from being inhabited to unoccupied, and then to decay. After that, time may have passed. After a long time, the stele suddenly shattered.

The reason for the shattering of the stele is unknown, Wang Ye wanted to know the details, and immediately a force stopped him.

Wang Ye didn't dare to look any further, he only needed to know the ending of the stele and the cause and effect of not preempting others.

Wang Ye has already discovered that if he only looks at the cause and effect of some people and things that have already shown results in his previous life, he can easily see it, but he cannot study the process and time carefully, nor can he look at other people and things involved.

Just like now, when he went to see the cause and effect of Lei Mu's previous life, he could easily see the ending of Lei Mu's previous life, but he also couldn't see many detailed plots.If he forced it, he would be stopped by a force, which would consume a lot of mental power, and he might not be able to see anything.

In addition to the stone tablet, the same is true for the gold bracelet. Wang Ye also successfully saw the cause and effect of the gold bracelet in his previous life.

The secret in the gold bracelet was never discovered, and the old woman who wore it gave it to a young girl, probably her granddaughter-in-law or something.

But her grand-daughter-in-law thought the bracelet was too old-fashioned, so she sent it to a gold shop to be melted down and remade.

And the secret in the gold bracelet disappeared.

This is also the reason why he dared to accept the task, the cause and effect of the value of 100 million experience points, if he accidentally snatched someone else's, there would definitely be endless troubles.

Just like that necklace, it had an owner in the previous life, and the owner also discovered the secrets in the necklace, and the other party probably also explored the related secrets, but the clue was broken somewhere.

But Qian Li and Xue Hui seized the necklace and searched for the secrets in the necklace. In the end, they died tragically in a foreign country, and they didn't even know where the body was thrown.

Ma Wei, who also snatched the necklace, finally died under the revenge of the innocent soul.

Wang Ye didn't get any good results either. Because he revealed the secret of the gold necklace, the original winner didn't get the necklace. After that, he also encountered a series of troubles. After many years, he ran into Qian Li and his wife again. Seeing Ma Wei's death with his own eyes, it can be said that the cause and effect of these three people has been entangled with him.

In the end, the ghosts of Qian Li and his wife might require him to solve them.

"What was written on the stele?" The old man asked Wang Ye in a low voice. He didn't blame Wang Ye for the disappearance of the inscription on the stele. He felt that this was an inevitable development.

Even now, he felt a strange sense of relief.

He had a premonition that maybe the fog that appeared every night in the village would never appear again.No, it should be said that the fog that reappears will not be the original fog.

In addition, there is probably no need to worry about the four rules that cannot be violated in the village.

Perhaps their village has become an ordinary village.

Wang Ye thought for a while, and didn't hide from the old man. He told him the truth: "The inscription on the stone tablet roughly says that He has twelve ashrams, all of which have entrances. After passing the test, he can accept inheritance."

"Dojo? Inheritance?" The old man is proficient in Chinese, but he is not sure about the meaning of some professional words.

Wang Ye explained the meaning of these two words to the old man.

After listening to the old man, he was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "So, so we have a Taoist temple here, and this stone tablet in our village is a test. After passing the test, you can know where the entrance is, and you can go there to receive real knowledge. inherited."

"That's roughly the case." Wang Ye nodded.

The old man looked at Wang Ye with a complicated look, but his eyes were clear: "You passed the test, right? That's why these inscriptions disappeared, because it has fulfilled its mission, right?"

Wang Ye nodded calmly.

The old man laughed: "Then I won't give you any gifts. Originally, I thought that if you could help me translate the words on this stele, I would give you a gift, but now you have obviously received a more precious gift." .”

Wang Ye bowed his hands to the old man, his heart was broad enough.

The old man waved his hand: "This thing has been here for so many years, I don't know how many people in our village have come to see and touch it, and many experts and scholars have come to study it. Who can pass its test. You can pass, that is your skill."

The old man paused, "I just want to ask, will our village... be the same as before?"
