Merchant of the Underworld

"Uh... It's okay to take a look. Anyway, I'm on my way." The village chief said while wiping his sweat.

Although the village chief didn't want to go, he could only take me there and walked forward for a while. When we reached a hillside, the village chief told me that the field was on the hillside.

I asked the old village chief and Li Mazi to wait where they were, and walked up the hillside alone.

Soon I saw that the field was indeed as legendary, bare, with not even a single weed growing.

There are many small and medium-sized pits among them. It must have been dug out by Tang Xianzu and others before. When the wind blows, the dirt and debris next to the small pits fly up, making it look extremely desolate.

"Ahem..."

At this moment, my legs suddenly felt a biting coldness. I quickly stamped my feet vigorously. When my body started to heat up, I walked directly towards the largest pit.

But there was a faint black air spreading out of the pit.

As if sensing my presence, the black energy circled around me several times.

"Is this a provocation or a show of kindness?"

I muttered something in my heart, then took out the cow's tears and wiped it on my eyelids, then looked at the entire field.

When I saw this, I was so shocked that I almost sat down on the ground. The whole field was constantly radiating resentment. It was strange that plants could grow!

My location happened to be in the center of this land, and the black air was the strongest. I couldn't help but take a breath of air and thought, what on earth could have such strong resentment?

In fact, such a big resentment can kill all the people in the nearby villages, because this resentment can change the Feng Shui pattern here.

But the Yinwu only guards this land and never goes out to harm anyone. I think the owner of the Yinwu must have had good character during his lifetime.

It's just that he was unwilling to die after being wronged, and his thoughts were integrated into the weapons he used during his lifetime, and they became a ghost object.

This also shows that Tang Xianzu did not lie to me. He was indeed stabbed by the headless horseman, and the headless horseman deliberately showed mercy.

I don't know why, thinking about this, I feel that although this matter is bizarre, it should not be difficult to solve.

Just imagine a femininity with so much resentment, who can't bear to kill someone when someone offends him. How can he be an evil spirit who doesn't care about anything?

So I didn’t stay any longer. When I got down the hillside, I asked the village chief to take me to the Gongde Archway.

Li Mazi curiously asked me if I had noticed anything, so I told them my thoughts. After hearing this, Li Mazi just nodded, but the village chief's eyes suddenly turned red.

Seeing that the village chief had such a strong reaction, I asked him if he knew anything? He shook his head first, and then nodded again under the gazes of me and Mazi Li.

"This is just a legend circulating in Tangjia Village. I don't know if it is true or not..."

Tears flashed in the corners of the old village chief's eyes. It turned out that Tangjiacun was not called Tangjiacun at first, but Zedengdi Village.

This place was a battleground for military strategists during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, countless people from all over China proclaimed themselves kings, calling them the Eighteenth Route Rebel King.

Among the eighteen rebel kings, Li Yuan is undoubtedly the most powerful.

At that time, Li Yuan had already made his eldest son Li Jiancheng the prince. However, Li Yuan's other son, Li Shimin, was better than Li Jiancheng in leading troops in war and managing internal affairs.

Slowly, Li Jiancheng began to be jealous of this younger brother!

He was afraid that his younger brother would steal his position as prince, so he tried every means to get rid of the generals who followed Li Shimin.

During the battle in Seedland, Li Jiancheng knew that the enemy had set up an ambush on all sides, and forced Li Shimin's general Luo Cheng to march!

Poor famous general Luo Cheng ended up falling into a quagmire, pierced by thousands of enemy arrows, and his head was cut off to receive the reward. It is said that when Luo Cheng's body was burned later, arrowheads weighing several kilograms were burned out, which shows how tragic Luo Cheng's death was.

Luo Cheng is handsome and has invincible marksmanship. He is known as Luo Cheng, who has a cold face and a cold spear.

It is a pity that Luo Cheng, who was so loyal to the Tang Dynasty, was killed by the villain Li Jiancheng. Before he died, all the anger and unwillingness in his heart were integrated into the silver gun in his hand.

After his death, his war horse Xiao Bailong committed suicide by jumping into the quagmire to express his loyalty to his master.

The enemy was impressed by Luo Cheng's bravery and Xiao Bailong's loyalty, and finally buried Luo Cheng's bones and horses in the seed field.

Later, the seed field became a place where people all over the world paid homage to Luo Cheng and built temples for him. Unfortunately, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old temples were demolished and the seed field was renamed Tangjiacun.

After listening to all this, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Looking at the thousands of heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luo Cheng was probably the one with the worst ending.

Seeing that Datang was about to conquer the country, he was framed and had a thousand arrows piercing his heart. I felt very uncomfortable thinking about this.

Li Mazi also noticed something was wrong and asked the village chief why he was feeling so uncomfortable. As a result, the village chief said that he was a descendant of Luo Cheng!

I was shocked after hearing this and quickly asked him if what he said was true? Although I sympathize with Luo Cheng, I have always regarded Luo Cheng as a fictional character in novels. After all, there is no such person recorded in official history.

Unexpectedly, the village chief suddenly became furious after hearing this, and said with red eyes: "Humph! The world is as black as crows. After Li Shimin conquered the world, he forgot about the generals who fought bloody battles with him, and instead focused on the reputation of the Li family. So the historian was asked to remove the matter of Li Jiancheng framing Luo Cheng."

"It's a pity that there is no airtight wall in the world. Even if he is the emperor, he can't stop the mouths of the people in the world. From then on, the legend of the cold-faced, cold-gunned and handsome man was spread on the streets..."

After the village chief finished speaking, he asked me nervously, would Tang Xianzu and the others really dig out Luo Cheng's gun? He also said that if Luo Cheng really comes back, I hope I won't hurt this hero.

"may be……"

Although I haven't seen the gun yet, through what happened to Tang Xianzu and the resentment I saw with my own eyes, I can almost conclude that it was Luo Cheng's Yin spirit who caused trouble this time!

If it is really Luo Cheng, I want to sit down and have a good talk with the other party and strive to resolve the problem peacefully.

So now I was not in a hurry to see those possessed young people, but asked the village chief to take me to see the silver gun.

The village chief nodded in agreement and said that since the accident, everyone felt that there was something wrong with the silver gun and thought it should be buried where it was. But no one dared to step into that field, so in the end they had to keep the silver gun at the young man's house, waiting for me to come.

Tangjia Village is not big. There is only one small road in the village. The strange thing is that after walking for a long time in broad daylight, I didn't even see anyone. Even the houses near the road have their doors closed.

The whole village was unusually quiet, not even the barking of dogs. You must know that dogs are raised in rural areas, and they will definitely bark wildly when strangers enter the village.

As a gust of wind blew, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and suddenly I had a bad feeling in my heart, as if something big had happened.

Looking at the old village chief again, his face turned red, his eyes revealed an incredulous look, and his legs trembled slightly when he walked because of excessive fear.

"what happened?"

Li Mazi asked cautiously. He felt that the village chief was not a good bird from the beginning, and now he is even more cautious.

I couldn't help but become vigilant. Unexpectedly, the village chief shook his head vigorously and said even more confused than us: "How is this possible? You were fine when I picked you up in the morning. Why are you like this now?" "

After saying that, he knocked hard on the doors on both sides. The result was that either the doors were locked, or there was no one in the room at all.

But many people's yards were splattered with blood. It didn't smell like human blood, but more like the blood of poultry. No wonder the village was so quiet.

Li Mazi was made uneasy by the scene in front of him. He lost the relaxation before and asked me what to do with some fear.

"Look first and then talk!"

I frowned and said, urging the village chief to lead the way quickly. When I reached the young man's house, I found that his family had also disappeared unexpectedly.

The village chief didn't care too much. He rushed into the house and opened a wooden cabinet, but there was nothing inside.

"How could this happen? The silver gun has always been kept here. Does anyone dare to pay attention to it at this time? I really don't want to live!" The village chief was stunned for a moment, then cursed angrily.

"Village Chief, take me to the Merit Archway of your village quickly!" Seeing that the silver gun had indeed disappeared, I quickly said to the village chief.

He knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly took me to the merit archway.

Unexpectedly, he, an old man, could not run slower than Li Mazi and I. Especially when climbing the mountain in the second half, he was much faster than us. Li Mazi and I couldn't help but feel ashamed.

I have long heard that mountain people are physically strong, and now I have learned the lesson.

The village chief thought that the silver gun was stolen, but I thought it should have escaped on its own, because Tang Xianzu also said that one or two people couldn't lift the silver gun, so even if someone really wanted to take a gamble, they didn't have the skills. The ability to steal the silver gun!

Since it left on its own and such a big thing happened in the village, I had to reconsider the source of the femininity.

Could it be that the village chief and I thought wrongly and that this Yin spirit is not Luo Cheng at all?
