"The valley of the kings?"

Yang Tiantian's face changed greatly.

Not only she, but also Xie Qingshang was surprised.

What kind of holy land is Imperial Valley for 800?

Over there, women are not allowed in.

If a woman has to go in, she has to close her eyes.

Even if a man goes in, he has to get married and have children.

But Yang Tiantian is not a native of 800, and she is still alive. How could the old village head let her go to the Imperial Valley?

"Yes, go to the valley of the emperor."

The old village head nodded without expression and said, "Yue Yang, you go home first and wait. I'll arrange it."

Without waiting for Yang Tiantian to say anything, the old village head turned around and quickly walked up the hillside.

Yang Tiantian, kneeling on the ground with his back to the hillside, immediately turned around and crawled on the ground.

Although she had never been to the valley of the emperor, and even when she heard Xue Niang talking about these three words, she had a look of taboo, but she still imagined that the place was - what?

800 is a paradise.

The valley of the emperor is a fairyland on earth!

Legend has it that there are flowers that don't fade in four seasons, countless rare birds and animals, and exotic flowers and fruits.

If all this is bullshit, why do people who are qualified to come back from the valley of the emperor once a year have a look of worship and yearning?

Xue Niang also said that the reason why the Imperial Valley was listed as a forbidden area for women to live in was because there was a nine storey Pagoda in it.

In the nine storey pagoda, a famous emperor in Chinese history is worshipped.

Because of the existence of the emperor, that place was honored as the valley of the emperor.

And all the 800 residents are the tomb keepers who guard the valley of the emperor from being disturbed.

The rules in the valley of the emperor were set by the first village head 800 years ago.

However, Yang Tiantian heard that as early as 25 years ago, there was an 800 girl who broke the rules and went to the valley of the emperor at night. As a result, she was crazy.

When she ran all over the mountain, she would cry "my son, my son, where are you".

As for where this crazy woman has gone now, Yang Tiantian doesn't have to ask others, she knows.

That woman, in the 800 isolated Yin and Yang line - jingmanger.

A few months ago, Yang Tiantian's baby son-in-law, following the example of that crazy woman, violated the 800 rule. When he was exploring the manger at night, he was almost bitten to death by ten thousand snakes.

It was on the night when Li Nanfang was rescued that many 800 residents heard the crazy woman calling her son in the dark.

Various legends have proved that the holy land of the valley of the emperor is not accessible to Yang Tiantian.

But now, when her son-in-law died and her daughter jumped out of the fire pit, the old village head graciously asked her to go to the Imperial Valley to repair.

It's a gift.

In order to repay the kindness of the old village head, she must pay homage.

The snow is bigger.

The wind, constantly blowing.

To the back of the hands of Xie Qingshang look up, you can see the dark cloud pressure is particularly low, as if a hand, can catch.

Maybe it's because of looking up too long and tired eyes. Xie Qingshang seems to see a long figure passing through the clouds in the snow.

It's a show of teeth.

In a flash.

It was too late for him to catch it, so he wiped his eyes hard. When he looked again, the long shadow disappeared, but it was replaced by a fuzzy face.

This face is grinning, looking at Yang Tiantian kneeling in the snow.

Similarly, without waiting for Xie Qingshang to lock the general outline of this face, it changed again.

It became - dark clouds.

"Come on. Otherwise, it will freeze the body

Xie Qing hurt bowed his head, kneeling on the ground, motionless Yang Tiantian said.

Yang Tiantian did not move.

Whoo!

The wind is stronger.

Blowing snow on the face, some pain.

But erlengzi and others, who were carrying the sedan chair and trudging through the snow without knee, were excited and looked at the snow as nothing. They just tried to stare forward.

Among the four people who carried the sedan chair, except for uncle Kui in the left rear, erlengzi, Shitou and tie were all unmarried young people.

According to the ancestral system, the three of them are not qualified to go to the valley of the emperor.

But the old village head said that it was only because he sent Yang Tiantian to the Imperial Valley for Qingxiu this time that he asked the three boy boys to go with him. He also wanted to use their bodies to offset the evil spirit of the living women.

No matter how many times these three guys have been seduced by Li Nanfang, but as long as they don't have that kind of substantive relationship with women, they are boys.

Yang Tiantian was sitting in the sedan chair. The door of the sedan chair and the windows on both sides were sealed with yellow paper.

She herself, also dressed in a Navy shroud, her hair spread out, her eyes covered with black cloth, just like a zombie, sitting upright in it, unable to move.

If you move, the slender steel needle arranged according to the direction of 108 Tiansha will pierce her clothes and her skin.

For short distance walking, or flat terrain, Yang Tiantian can barely keep still.

The linear distance from 800 to the valley of the emperor is about one kilometer at most.

Put on the road outside, erlengzi and other dead people spread their feet to run, it is estimated that it will be a matter of a few minutes.

But this is in the mountains, look at the mountain run dead horse this sentence, can't just say.

From midnight yesterday, until now, it's daybreak, but everyone seems to be standing still.

Snow, it's too thick.

After 800 years on the journey, every step we take will take a lot of effort.

What's more, the road conditions are so bad that people are worried.

Thanks to the snow.

Otherwise, it would be very good for the big guy to walk half the way.

This is the only way to the Imperial Valley since ancient times.

On this road, a lot of pitfalls have been made artificially - no matter how difficult it is to walk, just do it.

The bad road condition can prevent the process of going to the valley of the emperor when the enemy invades.

Erlengzi and others are used to walking on mountain roads, but they don't find it too difficult.

It's just that Yang Tiantian is in a sedan chair.

It's OK to dress up like a dead man, wearing a shroud, blindfolded, and having his lips painted blood red. The key is the steel needles that hurt a lot if you just move them.

The function of the steel needle is to keep her from moving like a dead person.

Only a dead woman can enter the valley of the emperor. This is the patriarchal system of 800. No one can disobey it.

Yang Tiantian is going to the Imperial Valley. Of course, the old village head can't kill her.

It's the only way to make her pretend to be dead.

Fool the ghost.

In order to get rid of the ghost completely, we should not only let Yang Tiantian pretend to be a dead man, but also let erlengzi and others, who carried the sedan chair, act in mourning.

There is a peculiar smell in the sedan chair.

The smell of the dead.

This sedan chair is the "special car" carried by 800 villagers to the emperor's Valley for burial after they died.

On the left side of the sedan chair, the old village head personally holds it, which means "Fu Ling".

In front of the sedan chair, there were two half boys wearing pointed white hats, carrying high flags, on which were written curved words that no one could understand.

Behind the sedan chair were all the people in the village.

800 was originally a small village with more than 100 people. It's not easy to die. Can you give me a ride in person?

Xie Qing hurt the couple and also participated in it.

However, they did not like Li NanFang's teacher's mother and so on, put on hemp and wear filial piety.

So Xue Xinghan was very puzzled: "Yang Tiantian is not a native of 800. How can she enjoy the treatment of letting the villagers wear their clothes and wear filial piety?"

Xie Qingshang ignores her, just grabs a handful of paper money from the bamboo basket on her arm and spreads it all over the sky.

Funeral is throwing paper money, is also one of the ancient customs.

Not only paper money, but also half boys, carrying old cattle, Jinshan, Yinshan, Mianshan, and white paper men.

The old cattle have already got the finishing touch.

Lifelike appearance, swing around with the wind, as if at any time will cry, the wind away.

Paper man has no finishing touch.

The funeral attendants are afraid that after it is highlighted, they will depict the six people they like and take them to another world together.

After all, the paper man has to focus, but it is at the mouth of the valley.

At that time, half boys will pile up the old cattle, including the unfinished paper money, and the village head will light it.

When the fire is about to burn to the paper man, the paperman who is in charge of the finishing touch will pick up the vermilion pen and quickly click twice in the blank eyes of the paper man.

It is said that at that time, the paper man had a spirit and wanted to take away the souls of six people. However, because his body was burned by the fire, he was unable to concentrate. He had to howl in silence and go away with the howling old cattle.

It was burned outside the mouth of the valley.

The purpose of the people guarding the funeral is to let everyone see that the dead have entered the valley, so that they can rest assured.

These paper men, cattle and other things were burned once at the mouth of the valley. After entering the valley, they were responsible for guarding the second eldest brother of the Imperial Valley. Don't ask the name of the second eldest brother. All the 800 residents, including the old village head, were called the second eldest brother.

Second uncle, that's his name.

The name has been around for more than a thousand years.

Whoever guards the valley of the emperor is the second eldest.

Every time a dead person enters the valley, the second eldest brother will take out another set of old cattle, paper men, etc. and send them to the nine storey pagoda together with the dead person.

Since then, the whole funeral ceremony was officially completed.

As for the dead bodies, they will be burned, buried, or painted with a special tung oil and placed in the nine storey pagoda to accompany the emperor - no one knows except the second eldest brother and the old village head.

Xue Xinghan knows all that Xie Qingshang knows.

What Xue Xinghan didn't know was that he had to ask her about the man and put his left hand under his rib: "you're talking to me. Yang Tiantian, why can I go to the Imperial Valley? "

Xie Qingshang was pinched by her. She frowned and asked, "do you envy me, do you want to go?"

"Yes."

Xue Xinghan told the truth: "I've wanted to see it for a long time. Hum, otherwise, according to my mother's temperament, how can I stay here for so many years in this broken place where the rabbit doesn't poop and can't even see a handsome guy? "

Xie Qing hurt the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say a word.

Xue Xinghan extended his hand again: "ah, why don't we go to the valley of the emperor tonight? I've heard that there are flowers that don't fade in four seasons. Rare animals and birds are everywhere. If we can catch a unicorn or a Phoenix, we will be prosperous. "

"Her surname is Yang."

Thank you for your heartless words.

Xue Xinghan is one Leng: "what is her surname Yang?"

Xie Qingshang no longer pays attention to her, reaches out his hand and grabs a piece of paper money, which suddenly spreads to half the sky.

When the north wind blows and the paper money floats, an old village head's voice rings out: "the auspicious time is coming. People are free. The relatives of the dead will be heartbroken!"

Valley of the kings, here we are.

When Xue Xinghan looked up, he found the heavy snow all over the sky. He didn't know when it had turned into cold sleet.

On both sides of the mouth of the valley, which is only ten meters wide, there are lush pines and cypresses.

"Her surname is Yang!"

When Xue Xinghan's eyes fell on the three black seal characters on the left side of gukou, he suddenly understood.
