Chapter 261 Deep into Panlong Mountain
After hearing this, You Yang and the other two felt sad and took some more money to give them. The old couple thanked them very much and even said they had met a good person.
This money was given by You Yang. He still had some money on him, but it was useless to put it on him. He gave it to the old couple, which was almost 10,000 yuan, which was enough for this lonely old man to live for a year.
In order to thank You Yang and the other two, the old couple made a plate of fried bacon for them. When the old man saw that Chen Dong and the others had finished drinking, he brought them two bottles of sorghum wine.
In the middle of the night, the old couple went to bed, and You Yang and the other three barely slept in their son's bedroom.
The next day, You Yang and the other two got up early, packed up their things, followed the signs on the map, left the village and turned two ridges to find Zhuge's tomb.
Of course, it is unknown whether it is Zhuge's tomb or not. It is temporarily called Zhuge's tomb, and it can only be defined after the situation is implemented.
After arriving at the mountains, You Yang and the other two realized that the road on the mountains was particularly difficult to walk, because there was no sun between the mountains for many years, resulting in mud and water under their feet. Moreover, no one was walking on the mountains. You Yang and the other two had to cut off the thorns and thorns with machetes every time they took a step.
It is a hard work to open the road, especially Chen Dong, because he is tall and has long arms, so he has to do the main job of opening the road.
You Yang and Bai Chen were behind him, and they didn't have to do anything, just follow Chen Dong.
This led to Chen Dong complaining a lot. Fortunately, he was not an ordinary person, so he still honestly opened up the way after complaining for a few words. After walking, the three of them walked for a whole morning and finally reached the peak of Panlongpo.
After a while, You Yang and the other two found a flat position, put the bag on their backs aside, took out some beef jerky and the white wine given by the old man, and started eating.
After dinner, You Yang took out the map and looked at it, then took out the telescope from his backpack to see the situation in Panlongpo.
I saw the highest peak entering the sky, with steep cliffs on both sides, stretching and undulating, and there was no end. It was impossible to tell whether the white clouds or snow gathered on the top of the mountain.
Looking at You Yang who was watching the mountain, Bai Chen asked, "Brother Yang, how are you watching? What's the situation in Panlongpo?"
You Yang said, "There are indeed a lot of clouds and mist here, and the layers are clear. There are wisps of blue smoke and mist on the hillside. The higher the clouds, the thicker they are, and they are all blocked by the mountains. When they gather together, the main peak of Panlongpo is like a warrior with white crowns and green armor, standing in the forest.
The mountains and rivers are vast, and the waterfalls and forests are all over the place, with beautiful native natural scenery. The nearby mountains and rivers are roughly the same as those drawn on the sheepskin map. In the depths of the valley behind the mountains and forests, we are looking for Zhuge’s tomb. As for whether there are seven-star lanterns in the tomb, we are really not sure."
Chen Dong said, "I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to really choose a tomb. Standing on the mountain here, I really look down on all the mountains. This feeling is great and really comfortable."
"Nonsense, this place was originally Shuchuan, and it was also the world of Liu Bei and Shuhan back then. No one knew Shuhan better than Zhuge Kongming. There was nothing strange about him who could find such a Panlong Vein as a tomb." Bai Chen said.
You Yang nodded and said, "This Panlongpo is called by the locals. If explained in terms, it should be Panlong Vein, which is also a dragon Vein, which is suitable for burying founding elders like Zhuge Liang."
Chen Dong took a sip of white wine and couldn't help but sigh, "I hope the Zhuge Tomb I went to this time is not fake, otherwise the future will be really unpredictable."
You Yang laughed helplessly. Chen Dong was talking about what he was worried about, but since they had already arrived, it was impossible to retreat. Moreover, after he and Bai Chen came here, they could not calculate what was going to happen. After all, it was impossible to tell fortunes for themselves if they were looking at the photos.
As for Chen Dong, You Yang and Bai Chen did not calculate because they could not see anything from him. They could not calculate what they would encounter.
"Okay, it's useless to worry. Besides, we haven't seen anything before. Even if there is a monster, I will tear him to pieces." Chen Dong said impatiently. "It's useless to scare ourselves like this. You'll know when you go."
"Brother Dong is right. If we go to Zhuge Kongming's tomb this time, we should pay attention to the mechanisms and secret passages in his tomb, as well as the Qimen Dunjia he designed. If not, we should pay attention to those palms or other unknown monsters that may come out at any time. Especially you Bai Chen, Brother Dong and I have unique skills to protect our bodies. Don't walk around in the tomb. Everything is followed by Brother Dong and I, so as not to have any accidents and troublesome things." You Yang said.
Bai Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll listen to you."
Chen Dong looked at the main peak in the deepest part of Panlong Mountain and said, "If you want to go to the valley on Panlong Mountain, I heard from the old couple that we have to climb over this mountain. There is a tunnel at the foot of this mountain that can be discharged and passed through the mountain, so there is no need to cross the mountain. However, the old couple said that there are many dead people over there and often haunted."
"If there is a ghost, it will be easier to deal with." You Yang said, then took out the map and the three of them gathered together to look at it.
There are two routes marked on the sheepskin map. One is to climb over the air outlet on Panlongpo; the other is to go around Panlongpo along the Snake River. This route requires a dangerous primeval forest that exists among the mountains. Although the straight line distance on the map is not far, anyone who has entered the primeval forest should know that it is actually ten times or twenty times longer than the expected journey. In addition, there are swamps in some places, which is simply a green hell.
Both routes are not easy to walk. In comparison, it is only feasible to climb Panlong Mountain, which is more than 2,000 meters above sea level. However, without a guide, you are not a joke. You may have to leave them all on the mountain before you succeed.
At this time, Bai Chen said, "Last night, the old couple said that there were many dense caves as dense as spiders at the bottom of Panlong Mountain. Legend has it that they were dug by ancestors in ancient times. In the past, rebellious bandits occupied them to fight against the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were helpless against the complex terrain in the mountain, so they had to build all the holes with stones and trap the people inside. From then on, whenever the villagers here put their ears on the rocks of Panlong Mountain, they would hear the sound of despair in the mountain."
Of course, this story is just a legend circulating among the local people. As for which dynasty and era of the cave, who built it, what purpose it is, who are the bandits inside, whether they were local ethnic minorities resisted oppression and exploitation, rose up, or what, no one can tell it clearly today.
But until recent years, someone discovered a cave with rocks and an underground river. This river has been passing through the mountains and flowing into the snake river on the other end of Panlong Mountain. The water depth can be used to use bamboo rafts. With this waterway, you don’t have to worry about losing your path in the crisscrossing caves.
Because the terrain is smooth and the water flow is not urgent, you can discharge the discharge downstream when you go, which is very labor-saving. When you come back, you need to spend some effort to support the pole. In short, it is much more convenient than turning over from the mountain.
Finally, the old couple told You Yang and the other two that although there was a shortcut to the main peak of Panlong Mountain, there were many strange-shaped corpses on both sides of the cave. No one knew when it died inside. The timid people would be frightened when they saw it.
There have been several times when someone released a vein to pass through the cave, but firstly there was a lot of miasma in the valley over there, and secondly there was no people, so it was meaningless to go there. It has been a while since no one has passed. If you want to take a shortcut, you need to be more careful.
...
You Yang and the other two discussed it and decided to go to the cave at the foot of the mountain and build a bamboo row to the valley of Panlong Mountain.
The three of them hit it off and didn't want to continue climbing the mountain or crossing the river. After packing up their baggage, You Yang hugged Bai Chen's shoulders and looked at Chen Dong. The two nodded and used their light skills to fly directly from the top of the mountain.
A few minutes later, the three of them rushed to the woods below the top of the mountain.
Bai Chen felt shocked and scared when he tried flying for the first time, but he was more excited.
At this time, You Yang said to Chen Dong and Bai Chen: "The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker. I am afraid the sky will change. Let's start placing it quickly and try to move into the mountains when it rains."
At this moment, the three of them no longer delayed anything. You Yang and Chen Dong took the machete and went to find the fat bamboo to cut down, while Bai Chen was responsible for cutting off the branches of the bamboo with a knife. The three of them divided the work and cooperated very quickly.
If the bamboo steak needs to be used for many years, it will be quite troublesome to make. The bamboo needs to be burned with hot oil before it can be used as raw materials. There are also some other additional processes, and You Yang and the other two need to use it temporarily once or twice, so they completely avoid unnecessary troubles.
After Bai Chen finished the bamboo outside, he went to the cave to explore the depth and flow of the waterway. It is estimated that carrying the three of them and all the equipment, only six large bamboos with the thickness of human legs was enough.
After this busy period, You Yang and the other two finally tied into a small bamboo tray, then dragged it into the cave with ropes. The three of them walked in front of their feet, and there was a thunder rumbling outside their feet. A shower started.
This is a limestone cave. Once you enter the cave and walk more than a dozen steps downwards, you can see a river under your feet. However, it is more suitable to be a deep stream than a river. It is nearly one meter lower than the ground, with a depth of about three meters, and the water flow is very slow. It may be a tributary of the Lancang River. The first half is hidden underground and it is not revealed until the terrain in the cave is low.
The cave is very wide. You Yang used his wolf's eyes to shine the depths of the dark cave. The height difference inside is very different. Tanks can be driven at the wide area, and the low area is only more than one meter high. There are many lime rocks formed over a thousand years, all of which are strange.
