Chapter 516

Soon after this happened, the old man in the stone tablet factory disappeared!

At that time, Qin Yuxi and Qi Zihan wondered for a while. The old man of the stone tablet factory was almost kidnapped by gunmen in Shuizhen last year. As a result, he turned up in Jieshan stronghold.

What's more strange is that before Qi Zihan asked the old man of the stone tablet factory to sit at the garrison in Dongshan, the old man suddenly disappeared from the Jieshan stronghold.

No one knows where to go.

"The grandfather of the stone tablet factory, named Tuoshi, used to be the heir of the patriarch of Jieshan stronghold."

The sixth master walking in front continued to move forward and looked at the eyes of the dense forest in front. He seemed to have a touch of regret. Obviously, he fell into a distant memory.

The sixth master continued:

"Originally, after the old clan leader, he came to inherit the Jieshan stronghold. After him, it was me. But when he was young, he fell in love with a girl outside the stronghold. He knelt outside the old clan leader's house for three days and nights and went to the sea of knife, mountain and fire. Only then did he give up the position of the clan leader of Jieshan stronghold and follow the girl to the town."

When China was just stable, the political situation was turbulent. The distance between jieshanzhai and Shuizhen was 18000 miles, and even the highway was not connected.

People in the mountains have never been to Shuizhen in their life, and they have never walked out of this mountain in their life.

Therefore, jieshanzhai and Shuizhen are just two worlds, as if they can't be reached in a lifetime.

Master Shi married his beloved girl and settled down in the town. Naturally, it is impossible to concurrently serve as the clan head of Jieshan stronghold.

In Jieshan stronghold, the heirs of the patriarch are personally selected by the Patriarch on the day when the patriarch succeeds to the throne. If the heirs refuse to become the next patriarch, but know the secret of Jieshan stronghold for generations, they need to go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire.

Then drive out of Jieshan stronghold and never return to the stronghold.

This is the cruelest custom in this mountainous area. It is roughly a kind of meaning of thanking the gods and praying for rebirth.

Qin Yuxi hasn't seen the custom of going up the knife mountain and going down the fire sea in Jieshan stronghold, but other strongholds have a simple version of going up the knife mountain and going down the fire sea. When Qin Yuxi was a child, he saw the stronghold when he went with Chen Yulian to visit relatives in other strongholds, and used this custom to expel a patriarchal heir.

Jieshan stronghold is the first of the eighteen strongholds in the mountain area. Many customs in the nearby strongholds continue from Jieshan stronghold, including the heirs of the patriarch. If they don't want to be the patriarch, they have to cross the sea of swords and fire.

To climb the knife mountain is to build a ladder with a knife. The heir needs to climb to the top of the knife ladder barefoot on the blade.

Under the sea of fire is to lay a layer of red burning charcoal on the ground. After stepping on the road of the charcoal shop with bare feet, the heir leaves the village by himself. Let bygones be bygones.

Most people will not go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire. This is tantamount to looking for death. Even after passing the knife mountain and fire, their feet will be almost useless.

Qin Yuxi saw the successor of the stockade. Looking at the simple version of the situation, he immediately counseled and gave up the idea of leaving the stockade and living outside the stockade.

Now that man has become a patriarch in the 18th stronghold and lives well.

Of course, in other words, since the swords and fires in other stockaded villages are simple versions, the swords and fires in Jieshan stockaded villages are authentic and large.

The stone master who walked barefoot was also a figure.

It can be seen that he loved the girl outside the stronghold so deeply that he was willing to risk losing his feet, cross the sea of swords and fire, unload the responsibility of guarding the stronghold for generations, and go to the town with the girl to start a family and business.

Hearing this, Qin Yuxi couldn't tell what he felt about the stone master. Finally, he could only sigh and say to the sixth master who led the way ahead:

"This man is about a love."

"But it's also the kind of love in your mouth, because you raised medical expenses for your wife and children, stole from yourself, took out the things in the treasure and sold them, which exposed yourself and caused the killing disaster of the whole Jieshan stronghold."

The sixth master walked in front and shook his head and sighed. Whether it was good or bad, in fact, everyone did not have an absolute definition, at least in master Shi.

Lord Shi was designated as the heir of Jieshan stronghold. That's not what he wanted to be. When he learned the secret of Jieshan stronghold for generations, he fell in love with the girl outside the stronghold.

He is a man. In order to pursue his love, he has gone through a sea of swords and fire, and broke into a famous house in the town with a share of blood belonging to men.

However, the sadness of his life is that he is indeed a love.

At that time, his wife was terminally ill. In order to treat his wife and children, Mr. Shi almost lost his fortune and owed a lot of debt to others, but his beloved wife didn't come back in the end.

In previous years, he could chisel out a stone tablet a week. In order to pay off his debt, he would chisel out a stone tablet in almost three days. But Rao is so. Master Shi also gritted his teeth and held on.

Seeing that the debt owed was about to be paid off, his son suffered from the same disease as his wife. With the development of modern medicine, this disease is no longer a terminal disease. As long as the family members are willing to spend money, it is still possible to cure it.

But Lord Shi has just paid off his debts. He has no money.

After thinking about it, master Shi thought about the treasure and secretly took the things inside to sell.

Results the son was sent to the hospital too late because of complications, but he still didn't get back.

So, how do you evaluate master Shi? Infatuation is infatuation, and what you do is justifiable. However, just because master Shi took out the things in the treasure and sold them, he was locked by the people in neighboring countries, and then found Shuizhen.

So he went to Jieshan stronghold.

Seven people died in Jieshan stronghold because of this robbery. Even the old clan leader took it in.

Qin Yuxi, who followed behind the sixth master, felt some sigh in her heart. She was silent and did not comment on the stone master.

Then Qin Yuxi asked:

"The sixth master, where is this stone master now?"

"He has no worries. He volunteered to go inside to guard the treasure and make atonement."

The sixth Master said that he had taken Qin Yuxi for a long time. He sat on a stone and said to Qin Yuxi:

"He said that this was his best destination. He was trapped by love all his life. He didn't bear the responsibility at all. Instead, he implicated a group of people in Jieshan stronghold, and even dragged you down. There, it should be the place where he ended. He had no regrets, but felt a little at ease."

In fact, this is a very sad story about master Shi, but the sixth master was very indifferent when he told Qin Yuxi, just because people like him are only yunyun among the children of Jieshan stronghold.
