【248】The Lost Dingliao Village
Being caught in the Gu is not as unpredictable as rumored.
In fact, any Gu needs a certain medium to be important to the target.
For example, water, body contact, air transmission, etc. Shang Yan thought quickly and immediately targeted the centipede.
Yellow fog or centipede's body.
"Damn it." Shang Yan hurriedly took the finger that had just dropped blood on Wang Laoqi, and then took advantage of the injury that had not healed, and sucked it hard.
The abnormality of Wang Laoqi's attack on the previous one was cured by Shang Yan with his own blood burning the sun. Then, if you do it in the same way, it will be solved smoothly.
Sure enough, after a few mouthfuls of blood foam, Shang Yan felt faintly disgusted from his throat. He couldn't help but bent down and vomited heavily. He directly spurted several mouthfuls of black blood at the ground, which was so refreshing.
The highlight is still behind. A sarcoma as big as a fist quickly popped up from Shang Yan's left abdomen. The tumor was pitch black and smooth, trembling at a speed visible to the naked eye, but a centipede was moving inside.
Shang Yan gritted his teeth and took out the utility knife and scratched the tumor. An instant blood leak appeared on the sarcoma, and black blood gushed out from it, and a centipede's head was exposed.
Iron Man was already waiting beside him. When he saw the centipede appearing, he grabbed it and pulled it out.
Shang Yan was afraid that there would be something hidden in his body, so he reached out and put a few more peace talismans on his wounds, and put a small rejuvenation talisman on his wounds to heal his injuries.
"This method is simply amazing. It makes people fall into the gui invisibly and can't react at all." Shang Yan couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't had the skill of [Blood Burning the Sun], he might have lost his life this time.
"The paper man who harms people, the water ghost walking on the water surface, the huge centipede, the small temple for insect stone statues..." Shang Yan glanced at the stone statue in the temple, and turned around and went down the mountain.
It is obvious that Shang Yan can’t handle the matter of Changkeng Reservoir alone, so he must find some help.
Before this, you need to find a relevant person and then make a long-term plan.
...
Nowadays, rural aging is becoming more and more common. A large number of young and middle-aged people are all out, leaving only lonely and widowed elderly people in the village.
Changkeng Village is such a typical example.
After returning from Changkeng Reservoir, Shang Yan came to the village and took the initiative to chat with the elderly sitting in the shade outside the house to enjoy the cool air, trying to find out information about the mountain from them.
The most important thing is to learn about the origin of that temple.
Shang Yan had never heard of a stone statue with a worm-headed human body. If it were an old man living in Changkeng Village, he might have known some relevant information.
But what disappointed Shang Yan was that he asked many people, but he didn't know any old man, and he just didn't know anything about it.
This made Shang Yan a little puzzled. Wasn’t that the temple built by the villagers of Changkeng?
Asked from the end of the village to the entrance of the village, Shang Yan, who was a little tired, walked into a small shop and prepared to buy a bottle of drink to quench his thirst.
The owner of the convenience store is an old woman with white hair and a face full of old spots. She looks at least over 80 years old and is particularly old.
On such a hot day, there is only an old ceiling fan in the store turning slowly, and the romantic flow that comes out is hot.
"Grandma, how much does this bottle of drink cost?" Shang Yan took out a bottle of blue from the freezer and asked screaming.
“4 yuan.”
Shang Yan took out a five-yuan banknote and handed it out.
At this moment, a statue in the corner of the cashier caught Shang Yan's attention.
The statue is only about twenty centimeters tall and is made of silver all over, but it has turned black in many places and looks like it is a bit old.
This is not an important place. The reason why Shang Yan cares about this statue is entirely because of the shape of the statue.
A worm man wearing an ancient robe and holding a spear.
If you hadn't seen the stone statues in the temple on that mountain just now, Shang Yan would have thought that this was a magical monster. But now it is different. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? There must be some close connection between this statue and the stone statues in the temple.
"Old lady, what is this?" Shang Yan asked, pointing to the statue.
The old lady looked at the statue and said calmly: "Xinghe Laojun."
"Ha?" Shang Yan was stunned, "What Laojun?"
"Starry Star Lord."
"What's the star?"
"Xinghe Laojun."
"What's the Galaxy?"
The old lady stopped talking.
Shang Yan reached out and held the statue in his hand for a careful observation: "Old woman, are there many people in our village who believe in this Xinghe Laojun?"
"No, there was no such thing as before. In the past, it was mainly because everyone in Dingliao Village believed in the Xinghe Laojun."
"Where is Dingliao Village?" This was the first time Shang Yan heard the name of this village.
When he was a child, his grandfather often used a ox cart to carry Shang Yan to a village near Dongmu Town to play, so Shang Yan basically knows what villages and names are near Dongmu Town.
But the name of Dingliao Village was completely unfamiliar in his mind, which means he had never heard of it before.
"It's near the reservoir." The old lady responded.
Shang Yan was surprised: "It's impossible. Apart from Changkeng Village, there are no other villages near Changkeng Reservoir."
"Everyone said it was the past." The old lady sighed, "In the past, Dingliao Village was on a mountain next to the reservoir. Later, one night, for some reason, the entire mountain collapsed, and Dingliao Village sank into the reservoir, and no villagers survived."
"There is such a thing?" Shang Yan was completely shocked.
This is too nonsense. In a very good village located on the mountain, how could the hill collapse just by saying that it collapses?
Earthquake? Someone exploded the mountain?
There are at least hundreds of people in a village who died in the reservoir overnight. This kind of thing has not been spread in the surrounding areas, which is also quite incredible.
"Xinghe Laojun, Dingliao Village, sink into the reservoir..." Shang Yan touched his chin and pondered: "Old lady, has there been many temples built in Dingliao Village for worshiping Laojun in Xinghe?"
"Yes, many temples were built on the mountain in Dingliao Village, but after Dingliao Village disappeared, those temples collapsed and were demolished, and now few of them could be preserved." The old woman responded.
"It seems that the mountain should be the place where Dingliao Village was then, and that temple is a building left over from Dingliao Village at that time." Shang Yan said in his heart.
This inquiry with the old lady gave Shang Yan a great help, allowing him to get some clues related to Changkeng Reservoir. In the subsequent related treatment, Shang Yan would not be helpless like a headless fly.
