When we returned to the place where we lived, we found that no one was sleeping. Qin Yao and I told everyone how we caught the tree demon. Chen Yifei and Zhao Dandan didn't think much after hearing this, because these two people had experienced quite bizarre things with us.
, the rest of the people responded with some skepticism.
Without further ado, Qin Yao and I took the villagers to the place where the tree demon was sealed the next day. Professor Zhao and others also followed. Everyone saw that the blood on the tree was still clearly visible.
If you look closely, you can still see that the blood stains are still beating slightly and regularly. When everyone in the village chopped down the tree with an axe, they were all surprised to find that human-like blood was flowing out of the tree that had been chopped by the axe.
Come!
The villagers were so shocked that no one dared to chop down the tree. Even the knowledgeable Professor Zhao was shocked. Qin Yao said at this time: "Don't worry, everyone, this blood is just human blood sucked by the tree demon."
, if we don’t cut off its evil roots with all our strength now, more people will be harmed by it in the future.” After hearing Qin Yao’s words, several bold young people in the village rushed forward and eliminated them repeatedly.
The second one chopped down the big tree.
The moment the tree fell, a strong wind suddenly blew up, which made everyone unable to open their eyes. There seemed to be screams in the air like ghosts crying and wolves howling. The wind lasted for about a minute before slowing down.
It slowly stopped, and when people opened their eyes, they found that the woods seemed to be a little brighter than before.
An older man asked Qin Yao at this time: "Little brother, has the monster been eliminated by the scriptures?" Qin Yao nodded and said, "Don't worry, everyone, the tree monster has broken its roots and was beaten.
After returning to the prototype, I can no longer harm people's lives." Qin Yao thought for a while and then said: "If you guessed correctly, there should be a white 'demon tendon' inside this tree. This 'demon tendon' is that
Although the essence cultivated by dryads for thousands of years cannot lead to immortality, it can strengthen a person's body and people who are in poor health can take it."
As soon as the villagers heard that there were good things in the tree, they all rushed to get axes and started chopping them randomly. I asked in a low voice: "Is there really the 'demon tendon' you mentioned?" Qin Yao said: "Then
'Demon sinews' are like inner elixirs cultivated by humans or animals. The tree demons have all become 'shaped' through sutras. It would be really strange to say that they don't have any."
I really didn’t expect to encounter such a small episode when I first arrived in Shennongjia. Let’s not talk about how the villagers cut open the trees to get tendons. Let’s just say that after Professor Zhao saw the tree demon, he quickly asked the older people in the village if they had any good guides.
Most people in this village are familiar with the nearby mountain roads, and the young and middle-aged people in the village make money by serving as guides for tourists. So without much effort, we found a man named Qingwu.
A young man came to be our guide and agreed that the daily fee would be 500 yuan.
In fact, it is not expensive to find a guide in Caiqi Village. You only need to pay 70 yuan a day. This is also referring to winter. If it is summer, it is only 50 yuan a day, but those are all designated tourist routes.
, that is to say, they are all developed tourist routes. Although there are no-man's land along the way, there are transfer stations for replenishing supplies every time you walk, so there is no danger to your life.
We are not here for tourism this time. The route we are going to take is a real no-man’s land that has not been developed. We don’t know what kind of dangers there are ahead, so Professor Zhao gave Qingwu 500 yuan a day.
Wu hesitated for a few minutes after hearing the purpose of our trip, but after hearing Professor Zhao's promise of a daily remuneration of 500 yuan, he readily agreed.
We stayed another night in Caiqi Village, and got up early the next morning to start our journey to find Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Professor Zhao is indeed very discerning, and Qingwu is a man of good character and reliability; he is enthusiastic and proactive in treating others; he is physically strong
A sturdy young man from the mountains who is good at singing and making people laugh.
He sang a folk song that made the three Americans laugh. Moreover, Qingwu had very good physical strength. He carried more than 100 kilograms of equipment and walked on the mountain road as if he were walking on flat ground. From the conversation with him, I
I learned that Qingwu was an orphan and grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village, so he started working as a guide to support himself at the age of 13. Not only did he have good physical strength through walking on mountain roads all year round, but he also had a good influence on the nearby people.
The mountainous landscape is also very familiar.
However, when we asked if there was a Dragon God Valley, Qingwu started shaking his head, saying that he had never heard of a Dragon God Valley since he was a child. It is estimated that this place name may have been given by the ancients.
It has not been handed down, or this place really does not exist.
Professor Zhao said to me: "Xiao Li, the guide doesn't even know, it's up to you this time." I thought about it and asked Qingwu: "Brother Qingwu, can you bring us here first?"
The highest mountain nearby?" Qingwu said: "Then we have to go to Shennongding. From Shennongding you can see all the nearby mountains."
Professor Zhao said: "How long does it take to get to Shennongding from here?" Qingwu, who was not familiar with Shennongding at all, opened his mouth and said: "From now on, it will take three days to get to Shennongding, and it will take four to five days if it is slower.
distance." I said to Professor Zhao: "If you want to see where the dragon vein is, you can only see it clearly at the highest point of Shennongjia, but you have to decide the location." Professor Zhao patted his thigh and said, "Okay! Let's go to Shennongding first.
"
Shennongjia is located to the north of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and south of the Han River. It is very majestic. The Daba Mountains and the Wu Mountains are like a giant dragon lying in the east of Sichuan and western Hubei. Shennongjia is located between the two dragon roads facing each other.
It stands tall on the mountains. The altitude of Shennongjia is 3105.4 meters, which is known as the highest peak in Central China.
After my country's reform and opening up, it has attached great importance to the tourism industry and has been building roads. Therefore, after walking through a forest area, we took a car directly to the foot of the main peak without much effort. Our group was led by Qingwu. We entered a small ravine first, then found a winding path and began to slowly climb up. Seeing this path, I suddenly remembered Mr. Lu Xun's words, 'There is no road in the world, but there are more people walking on it. It became a road.' Below the main peak is a large primitive arrow bamboo forest, with yellow branches and green leaves, forming a vast sea of bamboo. Qingwu told us that this generation is very safe and is a key development place. There are often tourists coming and going, so you don't have to worry. You will encounter wild animals, but there are still snakes, so you still have to be careful.
Passing through this arrow bamboo forest, we looked at each other in the distance with the main peak of Jinghe. We saw that the main peak was surrounded by towering ancient trees, tall and straight, with interesting peaks and rocks and strange rocks. Only one rock was the most distinctive, with its shape.
It looks like an old man carrying a bamboo basket on his back and wading in the mountains on foot. Qingwu said that this is what people often call "Shen Nong Rock".
Legend has it that this "Shen Nong Rock" was created by God in order for future generations to remember Shennong forever, so that future generations would never forget this ancestor who benefited the people. Bypassing this rock, we passed through a rhododendron forest.
and fir forest, we went straight to the main peak, climbed to the top, and had a panoramic view of the mountains in western Hubei.
Standing on the top of Shennong, in front of you is like a huge picture of overlapping peaks. It is really majestic and boundless. The vast forest sea is boundless. The scenery of "only the sky is above, not to mention the mountains" is intoxicating.
Among them. "I suddenly remembered such a poem, "It was difficult to find water for the sea, and Shennong returned without looking at the mountains." I wonder if there is any place in the world that can compare with the beautiful scenery in front of me?
While I was intoxicated by the beauty of the mountains and rivers, Zhao Zhicheng walked up to me out of breath. Zhao Dandan and Xiaoling were supporting him on one side and the other. Zhao Zhicheng took two breaths and said, "Xiao Li...
...Sigh...you left too fast. I am really old and can no longer survive." In fact, Zhao Zhicheng is about fifty-five or sixty-six years old, but it may be because he works in an office all year round and his physical fitness is not good.
That's pretty good.
I said: "Professor Zhao, you are not old in your fifties. You are middle-aged now in your sixties." Professor Zhao laughed. After talking for a while, Zhao Zhicheng asked: "Xiao Li, you are
Do you see where the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang might be?"
Hearing his question, I remembered the purpose of this place. I quickly covered my right eye and scanned the peaks with my left eye. Shennongjia is indeed a treasure land of China. It doesn't matter what I saw. There are red treasures everywhere. That is to say
There are countless dragon veins in Shennongjia. Suddenly I saw a red light rising into the sky, like a giant dragon rising into the sky, soaring between heaven and earth! This was clearly the dragon vein! I pointed in that direction with my finger.
He exclaimed: "The Pulse of Heavenly Dragon! That must be where Qin Shihuang's real imperial mausoleum is."
Professor Zhao hurriedly called Qingwu, pointed in the direction I pointed and asked: "Qingwu, what is that mountain over there?" Qingwu looked at it and said, "Mr. Zhao, that's Laojun Mountain.
The boundary." Professor Zhao said: "We will practice here today, how about you take us to Laojun Mountain tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Qingwu suddenly showed a look of panic on his face and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Zhao, you can't go to Laojun Mountain!" Professor Zhao asked in confusion: "Why?" Qingwu said: "
There are man-eating monsters in that mountain! Even if you pay me a lot of money, I won’t dare to go there!”
There was a team member named Li Ming in the archaeological team. He was Professor Zhao's close disciple. He was young and energetic, with a bit of a hot temper. He rushed over and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? There are no monsters in the blue sky." He was like this.
The words not only talked about Qingwu, but also pointed the finger at Qin Yao and me.
Because when we talked about catching tree demons the day before yesterday, he was a little scornful. However, when he saw the blood on the tree, he seemed to have changed his attitude, but he was still doubtful. I can't blame him, and I would definitely not do it if it were me.
