The four of us said goodbye to our mother, brought some food, and followed the map directions. Because the map was too simple, we could only know the approximate direction.
For example, we must first enter the mountain in front of us.
According to the map, the destination we are looking for is in this big mountain in Lintong. Looking from a distance, this mountain is huge. What's more important is that it is connected with the surrounding mountains. I don't know how long it has spread.
distance, such a mountain group, if we go there to look for people, we probably will never find it in our lifetime.
When I came here, I immediately felt very small. Although the mountain was not very high, it really gave me a heavy feeling of depression.
The master murmured: "The general trend, this is the general trend of the world!" The three of us didn't know why. Although Rabbit is also a Feng Shui metaphysician, compared with an authentic person like the master, he is still far behind.
The master said: "Look, these mountains are endless, slowly forming a long dragon. The mountain in front of us is slightly higher than the surrounding mountains, and it looks like a dragon's head. At the foot of the mountain, there are mountains and rivers facing each other in the distance, and the rivers are long and thin.
It’s also continuous, this is simply the most popular Feng Shui in the world!”
"The old Taoist has been obsessed with metaphysics and Feng Shui all his life. He has never seen such a terrain. There are two dragon veins alone, not to mention the terrain where dragons raise their heads. This kind of ground is not the place where ordinary people are buried! In addition to the imperial tomb, I
I can't think of anyone else who has such courage to let Erlong guard his tomb."
The three of us listened in confusion, but one thing we could understand was that there was an ancient tomb in this place, and it was probably the emperor's tomb. It seemed that the tomb map on the jade piece was from here.
The master sighed with emotion for a while and said: "The better the terrain is, the greater the danger for your father and the others. Although they have the tomb map, they still have to decide whether they can get to the tomb. Even if they get there, they will still escape death. Let's hurry up."
At the foot of the mountain, there was a small village. We decided to go there first and ask if the villagers had seen my father and the others. I walked up to a man who was driving a donkey cart and shouted: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Have you seen anyone entering this mountain in the past few days?"
The man driving the donkey cart heard me talking to him and shouted "Yu" to the donkey. The donkey stopped and the old man saw us and said, "Go into the mountains. Go into the mountains and go to our village to find Old Man Liu."
He understands things very well." After saying this, he pointed to a house in the village. Of course, he spoke in dialect, and I translated it here.
When the four of us heard this, it seemed that people often came into the mountains here, and the villagers were used to it. It seemed that this old man Liu was the local tour guide who often led groups there.
The four of us came to the place pointed by the man driving the donkey cart and knocked on the black wooden door. At this time, a dog barked from inside. As we approached, a baritone voice said: "Who is it?"
Rabbit replied: "It's me who has entered the mountain. Open the door quickly and bring you business."
At this time, the door opened a small crack, stretched out a rough palm, and said: "Pay the deposit first, and I will take you into the mountain."
Rabbit said: "We asked for a deposit before we even met. I'm really obsessed with money." Before Rabbit could finish speaking, the door cracked shut, leaving Rabbit with a surprised look on his face.
The rabbit cursed in a low voice: "What the hell are you pulling? If you didn't know the way, I wouldn't have found you!" While scolding the rabbit, he slammed the door hard, causing the dog inside the door to bark wildly.
The rough hand stretched out again. I quickly took out two hundred dollars, put it in his hand, and said, "Brother, please forgive me. We are just asking for directions. You open the door first and let us in."
The hand that took the money retracted. After a while, there was a jingling sound from behind the door. After a while, the door creaked open.
At this time we saw a middle-aged man about 160 years old appeared. There was a big scar on the man's face from his ear to the corner of his mouth, which made his face look slightly ferocious.
I asked: "Are you Old Man Liu?" The man said impatiently: "That's my father. He went into the mountains yesterday. I am his son Liu Meng. If you need anything, please ask."
When I heard that Old Man Liu had gone into the mountains yesterday, I knew there was something wrong with it. It must be my father and the others. I asked, "Who are the people who went into the mountains yesterday and what do they look like?"
The man seemed extremely impatient. He rolled his eyes at me and said, "Why are you asking about people? Forget it. I told you to leave quickly. I see you are not going into the mountains. About ten people came yesterday, and the leader was a
There were old men in their fifties or sixties, and it seemed that a few of them were the old man's brothers, and I heard the old man shouting "Lao Er Lao San".
When I heard this, I nodded towards the master and the others. The old man Liu Meng mentioned must be the uncle. There was no mistake now.
I said to Liu Meng: "We also want to go into the mountains and follow the team in front. How many do you want?"
Liu Meng laughed and said: "You four still want to go into the mountain? You haven't taken anything, and you haven't even prepared food. Why go into the mountain to feed the wolves? Haha..."
When this person laughs at me, Rabbit will go crazy. Originally, Rabbit is not afraid of anything. He was polite to me mainly because of his grandma, but deep down, Rabbit is a person with a serious rebellious mentality.
He scolded: "You old guy, you are so blind. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, just go aside. Don't waste our time."
Liu Meng smiled darkly and said: "Go, why don't you go? Besides, who else but my father and I would dare to take you to the mountains? One thousand, not even one cent less."
Rabbit exclaimed: "Why don't you grab it? It costs a thousand to lead the way?" After all, Rabbit knew that except for Liu Meng, it seemed that no one in this village would take us up the mountain. Rabbit groped around.
He took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from his bag, took out ten of them, and gave them to Liu Meng.
As soon as Rabbit took out so much money, not only Liu Meng was shocked, but also the three of us. Rabbit said: "Have you never seen the money? My grandma knew that it was not easy for me to be alone, so she gave it to me.
I have some cash. Besides, isn’t this money just some paper? Isn’t that what it is?”
I heard Liu Meng across from me swallow hard, staring at the rabbit's pile of money, like a hungry wolf aiming at the food. Zou Yang on the side hurriedly pulled the rabbit, and the rabbit obviously realized something and took the money.
Got up.
Liu Meng finally stopped looking. He told us to wait a moment, then turned around and entered the house.
After he entered, I cursed at Rabbit: "You are stupid if you don't show the money. Didn't you clearly seduce this Liu Meng? He doesn't look like a good guy at first glance."
The rabbit scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, but none of us saw the cold glint in the rabbit's eyes.
After a while, Liu Meng appeared in front of us. He carried an old baggage on his back and a machete in his hand. He said to us: "The mountains are not peaceful. You are not prepared for anything. I have to bring some self-defense."
It saved us from being eaten by wolves when we went up the mountain."
We nodded in agreement, and then Liu Meng closed the door, locked it, and beckoned us up the mountain.
The mountain road is rugged, and the mountains here are lush with trees. We can only move slowly in the mountains, one foot deep and one foot shallow. I asked Liu Meng, who was leading the way: "Do you know where we are going?"
Liu Meng said without looking back: "Aren't you looking for the pair of people yesterday? Besides, those of you who go up the mountain are not all going to that place. I can take you there even with your eyes closed."
After that, Liu Meng stopped talking and led the way.
At the beginning, we could still walk along the rugged road, but later, we could hardly see the road. Liu Meng, who was leading the way, took a machete and cut open the spreading branches and bushes, and we barely passed.
The master asked: "There are wild beasts on this mountain, and presumably there are hunters, right? Why are there no traces of anyone walking in the woods here?"
Liu Meng still said calmly: "The forest is so big, how can all the hunters come here? If you can't trust me, I will go back now. You can look for it yourself here!"
After hearing this, the master stopped talking and just winked at a few of us to tell us to be careful.
