Scholar Xu Liang took the book boy to Beijing to take the exam, but when he was about to arrive in the capital, the book boy suddenly fell seriously ill and fell ill on the road. At that time, the two were in a deserted place, not in the village or in the store. Xu Liang had to carry the book boy forward, hoping that there would be someone in front of him, and find a place to stay for the book boy to rest.
Xu Liang carried the book boy forward for a few hours, still in the wilderness. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Liang was anxious. When he was in despair, he suddenly saw a village in front of him.
When he entered the village, Xu Liang found something strange. There was no one in the village.
Xu Liang put the book boy under a tree and rested for a while, not knowing what to do. If he went further, he didn't know how long it would take to get a place to stay. Besides, it was already late, Xu Liang looked up at the sky, it was already the sunset in the western mountains, Xu Liang was waiting for the night, and suddenly heard a family in front of him open the door, and then other people opened the door one after another, and people came out. Xu Liang was very surprised, puzzled as to what was going on, but at this time it was not time to tear these things apart. Xu Liang carried the book boy and came to the door of a family, and stopped an old man who had just opened the door and wanted to go back. Xu Liang said, "This old man, Xiaosheng, is a scholar who entered the capital to take the exam. Xiaosheng's book boy fell seriously ill on the way and fell ill , dare to ask if you can stay at the old man's house for one night? "
The old man looked up and down at Xu Liang, smiled and said, "Of course, please come in."
Xu Liang thanked the old man and followed him into the room. When he stepped into the door, Xu Liang accidentally glanced back and saw many people staring at him with meaningful smiles on their faces.
When he came to the old man's house, Xu Liang suddenly felt something vibrate at his waist, and when he touched it with his hand, he found that it was a three-inch peach wood sword worn at his waist. This small three-inch peach wood sword was handed down by Xu Liang's ancestor. It is said that the ancestors once became attached to a celestial master of Longhu Mountain, and they had a good relationship.
The old man took Xu Liang to a side room. Xu Liang put the book boy on the bed, asked the old man for a bowl of water, and fed it to the book boy.
The old man replied, "There is no Langzhong in a remote village, and this village does not need Langzhong!"
Xu Liang was puzzled and said, "What do you mean by that?"
The old man replied, "There is a river in the east of the village, called the Soul Revival River, which can bring the dead back to life. Anyone who gets seriously ill and loses his life, just put it into the river, and it will be revived in a moment."
When the old man saw Xu Liang's silence, he knew that he did not believe it. He said, "What's the benefit of lying to you?" I see that you are terminally ill, not to mention that there is no Langzhong in the village, even if there is a Langzhong, there is no cure.
Xu Liang thought that what the old man said was not unreasonable, and thanked the old man.
Xu Liang guarded the book boy in front of the bed, taking good care of him, and did not dare to leave for a moment. However, in the middle of the night, the book boy still passed away.
The old man was very enthusiastic, and went outside to find a few people, carrying the body of the book boy to the east of the village, Xu Liang followed, and after a while, the group came to a river.
When Xu Liang came to the river, he suddenly felt that his whole body was cold. The wind was blowing by the river, and the water was bloody yellow. From time to time, there was a fishy smell.
The old man asked everyone to put the book boy in the river, and Xu Liang stared at the book boy, praying that he would wake up. After a while, the book boy really opened his eyes in the water, and everyone quickly pulled him ashore. After the book boy went ashore, he carefully looked around, and then his face showed an ecstatic expression, saying something that made Xu Liang inexplicable: "Finally came out, finally escaped."
Xu Liang was overjoyed when he saw the book boy wake up. He didn't care about the inexplicable words of the book boy. He wanted to go up and hold the book boy's hand and ask how his body was, but the book boy took a few steps back and looked at Xu Liang vigilantly.
"You... Don't you remember me? Have you lost your memory?" Xu Liang said.
Everyone burst into laughter, and Xu Liang laughed inexplicably.
The book boy looked at Xu Liang coldly, but did not answer.
The old man said to Xu Liang, "This water can not only bring the dead back to life, but also make people immortal. You can also go down and try it."
Xu Liang felt that something was wrong with the book boy, and he saw that everyone laughed at him, as if they had bad intentions, how dare they go into the water and refuse again and again.
"You have to go down, you have to go down if you don't go down." When Xu Liang heard someone talking behind him, he looked back and saw that it was a book boy, and he walked towards him with a ferocious face. Xu Liang saw that he was coming aggressively and had bad intentions.
Xu Liang thought that he would definitely be pushed into the river, but he didn't expect the peach wood sword on his waist to suddenly bloom with brilliance. Before he moved, the book boy let out a wailing cry and flew out inexplicably.
Xu Liang saw this, although he didn't understand what was going on, he also knew that everyone was going to be bad for him, so he ran away, and everyone was chasing him. Xu Liang ran for a long time, tired and breathless, but he couldn't get rid of them.
Xu Liang was afraid that these people would find him in the ancestral hall, so he hid behind the incense stand. He accidentally saw a booklet behind the incense stand.
At first, the villagers were overjoyed when they discovered that the river could resurrect the dead. They believed that this was God's favor for the village, allowing everyone in the village to live forever. However, it didn't take long for people to find out that the river did not come from heaven, but from the underworld. The resurrected people in the river were not those who had died before, but were possessed by evil ghosts in the river.
By the time the people of the village knew the truth about Soul Revival River, it was already too late. The remaining people in the village was less than one in ten, and the remaining people decided to flee the village.
When the clan chronicles were written here, it stopped abruptly, and there was no record later. Obviously, the person who wrote the clan chronicles also wanted to escape with everyone, but I don't know if he escaped.
No wonder the book boy didn't recognize him after the resurrection. It turned out that he was not resurrected, but possessed by a ghost.
However, there were very few things in the ancestral hall, and the incense table was very conspicuous. Xu Liang was still found by them and was surrounded by many "people."
Xu Liang had been chased earlier, and he had forgotten about it in a panic. Now that he remembered, he hurriedly took off the scabbard. The three-inch peach wood sword came out of his hands, and a cold light streaked through the air.
Xu Liang was stunned. He never thought that the three-inch sword he had never cared about would be so powerful. Xu Liang hurriedly escaped from the ancestral hall and found that the sun was rising in the east.
After leaving the village, Xu Liang went straight to the capital to participate in the scientific expedition. After the scientific expedition was completed, Xu Liang stayed in the capital, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Because it was daytime, they did not meet anyone. The two of them came to the Rejuvenation River. The Taoist looked at the Rejuvenation River with a serious expression and said, "This river has a very heavy yin energy, the river is yellow in blood, and the fishy wind is on your face.
Xu Liang was puzzled and asked, "How can the river in the world be related to the Forgotten River in the underworld?"
The Taoist replied: "This place should be the junction of yin and yang. I am afraid that the enchantment will loose, and the water of the Forgotten River will be mixed with the evil ghosts that are sinful and cannot be reborn in the river. It seeps out of the underworld and forms this river."
Hearing this, Xu Liang was stunned and asked the Taoist what to do.
The Taoist sighed and said, "If you put the Divine Weapon Treasure in the river, it can suppress evil spirits and make them unable to come out. However, my Divine Weapon Treasure in Longhu Mountain is all lost to the people, and now I have no choice."
Hearing this, Xu Liang suddenly thought of his peach wood sword, took it out and said, "Is this peach wood sword possible?"
When the Taoist saw the peach wood sword, he was taken aback and said, "This is a lightning strike sword, made for lightning strike peach wood, one of my magic weapons of Longhu Mountain, but I don't know how it fell into the hands of Xiongtai."
Xu Liang told the Taoist about his ancestor's friendship with Longhu Mountain's Heavenly Master and receiving this sword. The Taoist said, "That's it."
The Taoist was very happy when he saw that Xu Liang was willing to give up his Divine Weapon to suppress evil spirits. He took the sword and said something.
Before the two left, they set another fire and burned down the entire village. Xu Liang returned to the capital and released the list a few days later. Xu Liang was on the list.
