Dragon Seeker

What does Xiao Mi mean by this?

Although this child is a ghost child, he has no ill will towards me and is not very aggressive, just a little clingy.

I would not think that the other party is here to tease me. After a little thought, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Yes, this child is here to remind me! ! !

She threw stones and smashed the window, but An Ru did not appear.

In other words, the other party may have something extremely important, so he left temporarily and gave up monitoring me. It can even be said that... Xiao Mi's grandfather may not be in the village.

Now is the best time to escape from here!

I put on my clothes, picked up the Tianguan Blade, and broke out of the door.

Sure enough, An Ru did not appear in front of me immediately as before.

But the outside of the house was empty, and Xiao Mi had already run away without a trace.

I sighed secretly. Maybe the child felt ashamed of her grandfather for helping me, so she didn't show up. However, the opportunity was too precious. If I missed this time, I didn't know when I would have the next chance. I couldn't hesitate any longer and set off immediately, running smoothly to the village head.

On the rotten wooden door, a colorful woolen thread was tied to a wooden pillar, floating in the wind.

This woolen thread was the one that Xiao Mi and I used to play the rope game.

I couldn't help but stop here, gently holding up the woolen thread with my hand, rubbing it in my palm, a little absent-minded, and then, as if I was summoned by something, my heart moved, and I looked back, but I saw a little face half exposed behind a shabby house, silently peeping and watching me.

This little face was hideous, but at this moment, it was particularly distressing in my eyes.

Reason told me that it was the right choice to turn around and leave immediately and never interfere with the affairs here again in this life, but when it really came to this point, I always felt uncomfortable.

"Even if I can't turn the tide, at least let me do something!!"

I growled in my heart, gritted my teeth, and turned around suddenly. Xiao Mi was frightened by me and her head immediately retracted, but in just a moment, she stuck her head out again.

This time, I waved to her.

Xiao Mi blinked her eyes and seemed to want to turn around and run away, but after hesitating for a while, she rushed out from behind the broken house and plunged into my arms, her little head arching on my chest.

At first, my whole body was stiff, but soon I relaxed and gently rubbed the other's little head.

"Master, I have failed your teachings to me."

I muttered to myself silently in my heart.

He always said that yin and yang are in order, and the living can only take care of the affairs of the living. Whether the dead have something to ask for or something to hate, we can only suppress and appease them, but we must never seek justice for them, because that is the business of the lower level. Breaking the rules may lead to unimaginable consequences, which is not tolerated by the heaven. Last time he agreed to the request of the spirit, it was considered to be breaking the rules of the ancestors. Fortunately, the spirit took all the cause and effect in the end.

I think, maybe I have some stubborn genes in my body. I have just been punished by the heaven, and now I have thoughts that I shouldn't have.

After a short silence, I gently pulled Xiao Mi out of my arms, rubbed her cold and dark little face, and said in silence: "Don't stay in this village, follow your brother, your brother will send you to a place, a place where you can really be liberated..."

"A place of liberation?"

Xiao Mi tilted her head and asked softly: "Is it the temple of the three gods?"

Three gods?

My heart moved, and then I laughed: "Who told you that you can be liberated by going to the temple of the Three Gods?!"

"My grandfather said so!"

Xiao Mi said without thinking: "My grandfather said that the Three Gods will watch us in the sky, and all the sufferings we have experienced will be pitied by the Three Gods. One day, we will be summoned by the Three Gods, and we can be liberated there!"

Interesting belief!

I pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then brother will take you away from here, okay? Send you to the Three Gods, and you will be born into a rich family in the next life. You will not be lonely anymore, and there will be many children to play shuttlecock with you."

I don't know what happened here, and I don't have time to stay here for too long. My master needs me, but there is one thing I know very well. No matter what, Xiao Mi has become a lonely ghost after all. This is definitely not a good thing. If possible, don't bury the body, just bury the soul, send her to the underworld to reincarnate, and seek a perfect rebirth. Maybe this is the only thing I can do now.

"Okay, okay!"

Xiao Mi jumped up happily immediately after hearing this, but then her face fell and she gently pushed me: "Forget it, brother, you should go. I don't want to go to the Three Gods. I can't let go of my grandfather, not to mention..."

I caught her hesitation and asked immediately, but Xiao Mi shook her head and told me that her grandfather said that they couldn't leave here, and I couldn't leave with her.

I wanted to ask more, but Xiao Mi pushed me hard, turned around and ran away, and disappeared in a few flashes.

I sighed. At this point, I didn't have much time. I could only get up and leave, following the slope west of the village entrance, and headed into the deep ditch at the bottom of the mountain.

On the way, I kept thinking about what Xiao Mi said.

The Three Gods, for most people, this is probably a very unfamiliar concept.

In Western religious beliefs, the Three Gods are the gods of freedom, beauty and love.

In Taoism, there is also this concept, referring to the gods of the three dantians in the human body.

However, these two kinds of three-god beliefs are obviously far away from the villagers of this village, and the three gods mentioned by Xiao Mi can never be these two kinds of three gods.

Then, there can only be the last possibility - in the folk beliefs of Hanzhong area, the gods of heaven, earth and mountains are collectively called the three gods! !

Speaking of Hanzhong, a place with a long history of civilization, people will naturally think of the three words "ancient Shu Kingdom"!

The three-god belief in Hanzhong is inherited from the ancient Shu Kingdom!

It was the Shu people who established the ancient Shu Kingdom. In the beliefs of the Shu people, there are indeed some concepts related to the three gods, but they are very vague, because if you really trace the origin, the three gods are not the native beliefs of the Shu people, but are related to their ancestors.

The Shu people are a nation that emerged from the integration of the Ran people and the Qiang people.

The three gods are the native beliefs of the Ran people, the ancestors of the Shu people!

This is probably the earliest and most primitive belief in gods. It is too old. After several changes in the west, it has long been blurred. Now there is only a concept left. If you really want to talk about the ins and outs of it, I am afraid that even the most knowledgeable experts in the ancient Shu Kingdom in the world cannot name it.

Of course, the so-called three gods are not the focus of my attention. I still don't believe that there are really such things as gods in this world. I have seen ghosts, but I have never seen gods. If it really has the ability, it should have appeared in an era of questioning.

What I really care about is the Ran people who believe in the three gods!

I have read a very interesting single book. It was excavated from an ancient tomb in Sichuan. My father bought it from a local farmer for one thousand yuan. It records a lot of information about the Ran people.

I can only say that this is a very magical nation.

They believe that the three gods have given them magical powers and made them extraordinary.

Anyone with a little judgment will probably immediately determine that this must be a means of religious propaganda.

In fact, extraordinary people really exist!!

There are a few people in the Ran tribe whose body healing ability is almost abnormal. According to the solitary book, extraordinary people were stabbed several times in the battle, and the wounds would scab and heal the next day. Even if they died, their bodies would not decay. In short, if you cut the bodies of extraordinary people twice, the wounds would still heal!

The Ran tribe believes that all the dead extraordinary people are actually their souls returning to the embrace of the three gods, and their bodies are still alive, so they put all the bodies of extraordinary people together, almost making it a museum for future generations to worship.

It can be said that extraordinary people have a very high status in the Ran tribe, equivalent to the messengers of the three gods!

In my understanding, the so-called extraordinary people may be some people with strange abilities, and such people also exist in the real world.

For example, some people's bodies are a huge magnet that can absorb many iron objects.

For example, some people can take objects from a distance.

It sounds incredible, but it does exist. I can only say that the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders.

I think it may be that the genes of the Ran tribe are somewhat different, so there are often one or two extraordinary people with almost abnormal body healing abilities.

However, during the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han controlled the Western Xinjiang, and the Ran tribe was incorporated into the Han nationality, and since then it has become a branch of the Han nationality. After two thousand years of integration, it is probably difficult to trace who has the blood of the Ran tribe, and no one has ever heard of anyone having that strange ability.

However, the solitary copy also records such an incident - when the Ran tribe returned to the Han Dynasty, there was a small group of people, probably about 200 to 300 people, who were absolutely stubborn and refused to return to the Han Dynasty. They were also worried that the Han soldiers would be unfavorable to them, so they fled eastward and have never been heard of since then!

I couldn't help but have a bold idea - could it be that these villagers in Heixiazigou are the descendants of the Ran tribe who left that year? They eventually fled all the way to the outside of the pass and settled in the deep mountains and forests to survive?

This is not groundless. It has been two thousand years since the Ran tribe returned to the Han Dynasty. Two thousand years is enough to erase too much. Unless they are extremely firm believers, otherwise, after two thousand years of inheritance, their descendants will not remember the Three Gods and continue to believe in the Three Gods.

However, time has changed too much. It seems that the people here have forgotten most of their belief in the Three Gods. Until now, it seems that it has been a habit since their ancestors. They continue to believe in the Three Gods, but they can't tell the truth...

Just like we often talk about the Jade Emperor, in fact, how many people can really tell the origin of the Jade Emperor?

Unconsciously, I have followed the direction indicated by Xiao Mi and Qing Zhu and passed through the deep ditch under the village. In front of me is a vast jungle.

It was deep winter and snowy, but the situation in front of me made me alert.

Thick white fog was floating in the forest, with visibility less than ten meters. The fog was forming in the temperature of several dozen degrees below zero, which was a huge weirdness in itself. Moreover, the fog seemed to be alive, just floating in the jungle, but refused to enter the deep ditch, let alone drift into the village. It was clear that the fog had consciousness! !

"Something is wrong!"

I rubbed my arms fiercely, facing the thick fog in front of me, my hair stood on end, and I felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
