Chapter 378 The origin of the pattern
On Shi Ling's hand, the oil paper cloth was rolled up and placed behind a painting on the inner wall. Su Chen and Chen Feng watched Shi Ling take the painting away, then put his hand on the wall and pressed it down. A small hole appeared on the wall. Shi Ling reached in and took out the rolled oil paper cloth for a while.
Seeing Shi Ling's actions, Su Chen and Chen Feng were nothing because he knew that the young man must have a secret, but the girl named Xuanxuan looked surprised.
She has known Brother Shi Ling for many years, and it can be said that she grew up together. At that time, Brother Shi Ling's parents opened a tattoo shop. In the eyes of people in that era, tattoos were not good people. Even if Shi Ling's father just gave people a tattoo, many parents nearby told their children not to play with Shi Ling.
Xuanxuan's parents also told Xuanxuan this way, and Xuanxuan didn't play with Shi Ling like other children. Until she was seven years old, an old lady died nearby. On the night of the old lady's seventh, she was playing with other friends, so she was too late when she went back.
When she was back, she passed by her alley and suddenly heard someone calling her. When she turned around, she found that it was the old lady. She was still young and was not very sensible, and she didn't feel afraid. She even responded to the old lady.
Then the old lady was about to pull her away. She stretched out her hand stupidly at that time, and saw that the old lady was about to hold her hand. At this time, Brother Shi Ling appeared, grabbed her, and then pulled her away.
At that time, she didn't know what was going on. Until a few days ago, her parents told her that on the day of the seventh day of the old lady, a child was caught in a bad mood. The child was unconscious and kept saying that the old lady wanted to take him to play.
Later, the child's parents took the child to see many doctors and were helpless. Later, they found an old witch to cure it. However, although it was cured, the child had some problems since then and often went dazed alone. The witch said that it was a sequelae of encountering ghosts.
According to the witch, the old lady died, and her soul returned on the seventh day of the first seventh day. Because the old man had a granddaughter during his lifetime, the granddaughter died prematurely. It was the old man's heart disease. After his death, he became obsessed, so he returned to the world to take the child's soul away.
After hearing the explanation from her parents, Xuanxuan realized how lucky she was. Brother Shiling was trying to save her. She did not tell her parents about this, but since then, she would have fun with Brother Shiling whenever she had time.
The two of them went from elementary school to high school, and then in the college entrance examination, they learned that Shi Ling would not take the college entrance examination, but wanted to inherit his father's tattoo shop. After her own persuasion failed, she deliberately hid it from her parents and applied to the local school, and came to the shop every day as long as the school was on holiday.
So for Xuanxuan, she was almost as familiar with Brother Shi Ling’s tattoo shop as hers. Now she was so surprised to see Brother Shi Ling take out something from the back of the painting.
Shi Ling saw Xuanxuan's surprise and smiled bitterly. Over the years, Xuanxuan knew his affection for him. The reason why she pretended not to know was not that he didn't like Xuanxuan, but that he did not dare to accept it. The secrets of his family were not something that ordinary people could bear. He was afraid that Xuanxuan would harm him.
"I think this should be the information you want to know."
Putting the oil paper cloth on the table flat, Shi Ling took out a piece of oil paper from it. When he opened the oil paper, he saw the pattern on the oil paper, and there was a bright light flash in Su Chen and Chen Feng's eyes.
The pattern on it is the circular pattern on Liu Shanxi's shoulder.
"There are at least a dozen oil paper cloths here. Is the pattern of each one different?"
When Shi Ling pulled out this piece of oil paper, Su Chen noticed that the patterns on the two pieces of oil paper that were exposed at the beginning were not the same. One was a monster with a head and a two-tail, and the other was a monster similar to a mermaid.
“It’s different.”
Shi Ling shook his head. At this time, he seemed to have no hiding it and said, "Every piece of oil paper here is different, and these patterns are drawn by my great-grandfather. Don't worry, since I promised you, I will tell you the truth."
For Shi Ling, sometimes a secret has been hidden in his heart for too long, which is also a torment. Telling it out to others is also a kind of relief to share it to some extent.
"This matter starts with my great-grandfather. It was a famine in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, my great-grandfather didn't have much food in a village. In order to survive, the great-grandfather had to choose to go to the mountains to hunt."
It is normal for people who are backing the mountain to hunt, but at that time, the animals on the mountain could not find food, and some animals on the outside were all burned. As for the deep mountains, the locals did not dare to go in because there was a local rumor that a mountain god lived in the deep mountains. If they broke in, they would be left behind by the mountain god.
In the original situation, the villagers still believed the rumor, but in the face of the situation where they might starve to death, Shi Ling's great-grandfather didn't care about so much and rushed into the deep mountains.
Shi Ling's great-grandfather did not go in alone. There were several other villagers at that time. However, when they entered the deep mountains, they encountered danger and scattered. A huge python attacked them. Shi Ling's great-grandfather chose to roll down a hillside in order to escape.
As he rolled down the hillside, Shi Ling's great-grandfather fell into a coma. When he woke up, he found that he had come to a valley. The whole valley was very quiet. As a mountain man, Shi Ling's great-grandfather knew very clearly that something was wrong.
There are many snakes, insects, birds and beasts in the deep mountains, and it is impossible to have a quiet time. Even the sound of insects should be there. Only in one case can the deep mountains remain quiet, that is, when there is danger.
At that time, Shi Ling's great-grandfather's first thought was to escape and escape from this valley. No matter what existence there was in this valley, he could not afford to provoke him.
However, an hour later, Shi Ling's great-grandfather was desperate, because after running for an hour, he found that he had returned to his original place.
In order to verify whether he was confused, Shi Ling's great-grandfather even tore off a piece of his clothes and tied them to a tree. But an hour later, looking at the piece of cloth in front of him, Shi Ling's great-grandfather was stunned.
Because he lives by the mountain, Shi Ling's great-grandfather does not believe in certain things like the people in the city. The elderly in the village often tell some supernatural stories, including ghosts hitting walls.
At first, Shi Ling's great-grandfather suspected that he had also encountered ghosts hitting the wall, and even took out his ox horns. Anyone who went into the mountains to hunt in Niujiao Village would take them with him, because the old people said that ox horns could defeat the yin and scare away some ghosts.
Holding the horns, cutting his arm with the horns, and then applying blood to his eyes, Shi Ling's great-grandfather looked at the valley again, and this time the scene that was exposed in front of him changed.
In front of him, a mountain appeared, a giant mountain, and a stone mountain that could not be seen at the top.
Shi Ling's great-grandfather called this mountain a stone mountain because the mountain was full of stones and was not seen in a single plant, standing barely there.
Seeing this stone mountain, Shi Ling's great-grandfather thought of a legend in the village.
There has always been a legend in their village that there is a stone mountain in the deep mountains, and this stone mountain is related to Pangu.
Legend has it that Pangu used an axe to create the world and create the world. After creating the world, he threw the axe down, and the axe turned into a stone mountain.
Later, humans fought against all beasts for survival, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors drove away some beasts that were unwilling to live in peace with humans. Some rushed to the extremes of the world, and some rushed to the stone mountain.
Therefore, the living creatures live on the stone mountain are all monsters with terrifying magical powers. Any one of them goes down the mountain can cause disaster.
The reason why there is such a legend in the village is that some villagers say that he has seen a stone mountain and a monster on the mountain. According to the villager, the monster's wings are thousands of meters long, and when it opens, it is dark all over the sky.
Shi Ling's great-grandfather didn't believe this kind of legend. He had read for a few years and knew that if there was such a monster, it would be impossible not to be discovered.
But now when seeing this stone mountain, Shi Ling's great-grandfather thought of the last sentence of this legend. In the legend, whoever can climb the stone mountain can control these monsters and become the lord of all beasts.
I couldn't walk out of the valley, and there was another stone mountain in front of me that matched the legend. Shi Ling's great-grandfather thought for a while and finally decided to climb the mountain.
"What did your great grandfather climb the mountain, and then what did you encounter?"
Seeing Shi Ling suddenly stop telling, Chen Feng was a little anxious. This guy is writing about the Internet, deliberately swelling people's appetite. I wonder if the dogs will be hacked to death out of context?
"The patterns on these oil papers were drawn by my great-grandfather. What do you think he encountered on the mountain?" Shi Ling asked back.
"Well……"
Chen Feng was stopped by Shi Ling's replies, but Su Chen's eyes flashed and he said, "It means that your great-grandfather really saw monsters on the stone mountain. These patterns all look like monsters on the stone mountain?"
"Not a monster!"
Shi Ling shook her head, and her eyes suddenly became a little strange, as if she was recalling something. Chen Feng saw Shi Ling not talking for a long time and was about to speak, but Su Chen stopped him with a look.
