The mountains are full of wild flowers swaying in the wind, and the surrounding trees are very old. It is estimated that no one in the village has cut firewood here since the ancestral tombs were settled here, which is why the place is so well protected. It can also be called
It is a Feng Shui forest. Generally, there is a Feng Shui forest in rural areas. No one is allowed to cut down the firewood in it, because that is Feng Shui. Isn’t cutting firewood the same as cutting down Feng Shui?
"Team Leader Ye, take a closer look. Doesn't the top of the cliff look like a strange dragon head? It even has dragon horns and whiskers."
Principal Zhang pointed at the cliff in the distance.
Ye Fan observed carefully for a while, and after what Principal Zhang said, he felt that the mountain really looked a bit like a dog's head with its mouth open and trying to bite someone. Of course, the dog's head was a bit close to the dragon's head. As for what Principal Zhang said,
The dragon horns, of course, refer to the two small hills protruding from the mountain. The dragon horns actually refer to a dozen strange vines as thick as a sea bowl and tens of meters long. The vines hang down the cliff from the big tree growing on the dog's head.
From a distance, it really looks like a dozen long beards. No wonder people call it a dragon's beard.
When he got closer and saw the so-called Dragon Tomb, Ye Fan was stunned.
There is a large piece of grassy green flat land under the cliff, which is as big as several football fields. It is rough and full of wild beauty.
The graves inside are just small mounds like steamed buns, and the entire cemetery is concave. Dozens of graves are neatly arranged on the west, east, and south sides. Only the north side is close to the cliff, so there are no graves.
Each earthbag is only the size of a QQ car. It is covered with weeds and some wild flowers are swaying in it. The grave mound is a bit like the rectangular formation of the People's Liberation Army.
As he got closer, Ye Fan was surprised to find that there was a large leading grave in front of the tombs lined up in each direction. There was an oversized grave about the size of a truck, and there was a vague stone tablet standing on it.
"Team Leader Ye, the ancestors of the three Wu, Li, and Ye families are buried in the big grave in front of these three large square formations. Those neatly arranged behind them are the ancestors and descendants of the three later Wu, Li, and Ye families. Now, if there are
If the patriarch or an important person in the family passes away, they will be ranked later in the order.
"Haha! The three ancestors Wu Tongtian, Li Huaiyuan, and Ye Hexin seem to be leading troops in war, as if they are protecting some big shot. It's really weird."
Ye Fan chuckled.
"I thought it was strange when I saw it at the time, and I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have a clue. It looks a bit like the Three Talents Formation. Team Leader Ye, look at the place surrounded by three ancestors."
Principal Zhang Jialin pointed to the middle of the concave characters and said.
Ye Fan looked in the direction of his finger and found something strange. In the center of the concave characters was a small earthen bag the size of a QQ car.
"Do you have any questions?" Zhang Jialin smiled.
"Hmm! It's unreasonable! It stands to reason that the central tomb is located in the center of the Dragon Tomb from a geographical point of view, and its position is prominent. They should be the people Wu Tongtian, Li Huaiyuan, and Ye Hexin want to protect. So the person lying in the center must be
He is a big shot, but why is the grave of a big shot much smaller than the graves of his subordinates? There is no comparison in size between a QQ car and a truck. Isn’t this taking the spotlight away from the guest?”
Ye Fan said with great interest.
"That's right! Don't talk about you and me, it's probably the Wu, Li, and Ye families in Tianshui Bazi Village who have been thinking about it for more than a thousand years and still haven't figured it out. Maybe it's recorded in their internal confidential genealogy and is not known to outsiders."
Zhang Jialin said with a smile, "And look, the grave in the center doesn't even have a monument. It's so pitiful that I don't know whose grave it is. It goes against common sense and doesn't match the rules!"
"Yeah! It's indeed weird. Could it be that the great god lying in the middle is a fugitive or loyal minister who is at odds with the court? But Wu Tongtian, Li Huaiyuan, and Ye Hexin did not dare to erect a monument to protect this loyal minister...
…”
Ye Fan reasoned based on the common sense plots he had read in the novel.
"It's hard to tell. It's definitely ulterior. If Team Leader Ye is interested, you can look up the information on the important people in the Tang Dynasty in Nanfu Province. You might be able to gain something."
Principal Zhang was also extremely puzzled, and pointed to the top of the cliff and said, "But I don't think this Dragon Tomb can last many years."
"What do you mean..." Ye Fan didn't understand.
"I'll take you around to the top and you'll understand." Zhang Jialin said and took Ye Fan to climb to the dragon's head around the narrow earthworm-like sheep intestine mountain road.
"Eh! Such a big crack?" Ye Fan saw at a glance a large crack hundreds of meters long on the dragon's head on the cliff. The largest opening of the crack probably wouldn't be a problem for Ye Fan to squeeze in.
Seeing this large winding crack, Ye Fan suddenly had a huge idea in his mind.
"Principal Zhang, how deep is this crack?" Ye Fan asked.
"The deepest point is estimated to be about ten meters. In the past, even a big bamboo could not reach the bottom. It is estimated that after decades of wind and rain, this place may collapse."
Principal Zhang said.
"I don't think the landslide will last for decades. Maybe today or tomorrow... I don't know for sure." Ye Fan shook his head, "No one from the Wu family, Li family, or Ye family has figured out how to solve this problem.
Is it troublesome?"
"Everything I think about, no one wants the ancestor's dragon tomb to be destroyed. But what do you think, there is no road here, and even if you have the money to hire a large excavator, you can't drive in. If you start manual excavation, you are afraid of encountering the mountain above.
When a landslide occurred while digging, it would be very serious if someone died, so this matter has been bothering the three clan leaders, how difficult it is!"
Zhang Jialin sighed, looked at his watch and said, "Team Leader Ye, I still have something to do at school, so I'll take the first step."
"Well! You should go back first. I think the scenery around the Dragon Tomb is pretty good. Let's play for a while before going back." Ye Fan said casually. In fact, he was thinking about the crack, but he didn't have a complete plan yet.
After Zhang Jialin left, Ye Fan felt that the area around the dragon tomb was particularly comfortable, so he simply crossed his legs in front of the tomb and practiced health-preserving techniques. His guess was that he was right. The body and bones were particularly refreshing when he circulated Qi around the tomb, which should be more conducive to practice.
"What a sinister thing! Is this dragon tomb really filled with dragon energy? It should be filled with gloomy energy!" Ye Fan murmured, and after a few rounds of breathing, he felt light and refreshed.
"twitter!"
With a loud roar, a sharp air ball was sprayed from his mouth into the air, shaking the air. Ye Fan swayed like a spiritual ape out of the forest. He took a few steps over, swayed to a small thick tree with a bowl mouth, and kicked it.
Go down.
"Crack!"
There was a crisp sound, and the fist-sized tree broke into two pieces.
"Sin!" Ye Fan muttered lightly.
"Ah! Hero!" came a childish voice with a hint of surprise.
"Who! Come out!" Ye Fan turned and shouted towards a clump of thatch, because the sound came from the clump of thatch.
"Ye... Team Leader Ye, please teach me martial arts, Team Leader Ye." Suddenly a child in tattered clothes jumped out from the grass and knelt down in front of Ye Fan with a 'Porphyrin' sound.
"Yeah! It's you." Ye Fan was slightly surprised. He glanced at Er Yazi and found that the child's complexion was sallow, probably due to malnutrition. However, his eyes were very firm. Although he was dressed in tatters, he looked handsome.
Doesn't look ugly.
"Tell me why you want to learn martial arts?" Ye Fan said lightly. In fact, he felt a little pity for this child.
"If you learn martial arts, you won't be bullied. I'm going to break that bastard Degui's leg. And if you're good at martial arts, you can save people."
Er Yazi gritted his teeth and said, "Team Leader Ye, I really caught that weasel that day. I was about to take it home, wash it, stew it, and eat it. Unexpectedly, Degui saw it and snatched it away, and he unjustly accused me of stealing it from him.
weasel."
"Oh! How old are you? How do you prove that you can catch a wild animal as big as a weasel?" Ye Fan was a little unconvinced. You must know that an experienced hunter may not be able to catch a big weasel.
"Hmph! You don't believe it. I'll catch a more powerful green-furred wolf rat for you to try." Er Yazi clenched his fists and raised his head, "But! You have to agree to teach me martial arts."
"Green-haired wolf rat."
Only then did Ye Fan remember that Brother Zhao from the Finance Bureau had asked him to get one, but I heard that the green-haired wolf rat was not only ferocious and vicious, but also very cunning, so it was basically impossible to get it.
I heard that the thing is a hybrid of a wild wolf and a fox. It has the intelligence of a fox and the ferocity of a little wild wolf. It is not inferior to a smaller wild boar at all. If a boy like Er Yazi, who is only about 14 years old, touches
The life of the grown green wolf rat would probably be in danger, let alone catching it.
However, green wolf rats are very rare. Even in Tianshui Bazi, where there are old forests, wild boars and pheasants can be seen. Green wolf rats are very rare.
"Forget it! Let's stop talking nonsense. I believe you killed the weasel in Degui's hands. But as for saying that you can catch green-haired wolf rats, that's impossible, and that thing can't be found at all."
Ye Fan shook his head and did not want to get involved with a child anymore, and was ready to go home.
"Team Leader Ye! I really know how to catch it." Er Yazi's eyes flashed brightly.
"Hmm! It seems like you have actually seen it." Ye Fan was a little surprised.
"I've really seen it before, just in Tujia'aozi." Er Yazi said with certainty.
"Then you take me to catch it." Ye Fan became more and more interested for a while.
"No! You have to agree to teach me martial arts, otherwise I..." Er Yazi still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"I can teach you both hands, but Er Yazi. Martial arts are practiced for self-defense, not to break someone's legs, understand? And martial arts can't be learned in a day or two. It will take at least ten years to achieve some small achievements.
.”
Ye Fan lectured.
"Ah! It takes so long." Er Yazi was a little disappointed, and after roving his eyes, he said: "Then I just need to learn a few moves, and they have to be unique, Team Leader Ye, I won't use them to bully others.
,You believe me!"
"Yeah! OK! But you have to keep it a secret. You must not tell anyone." Ye Fan pretended to be mysterious. He felt funny in his heart. In fact, there is no unique move in martial arts. A strong person can injure someone with just one move. There is no such thing.
The strength is all about using fists and embroidering the legs. There is no special trick, it is purely a thing played by Laimeng in TV movies. Of course, there are also clever tricks that can lift a thousand pounds by four ounces when the strength is about the same.
"Hit! I won't tell anyone if I'm beaten to death, even if my brother comes back, I won't tell anyone." Er Yazi vowed.
"Oh! My child." Ye Fan looked at Er Yazi's sallow face and felt sour in his heart, "From now on, you will have dinner with our working group."
"No! I, Er Yazi, have to rely on myself and will never take other people's food for free." Er Yazi said through gritted teeth.
"You're quite stubborn!" Ye Fan praised in his heart, thinking about relying on himself and suddenly paying attention, "Okay, Er Yazi, I'll arrange for you to do something for me. If you do it well, how about paying for the meal?"
"Zhong! What are you talking about?" Er Yazi straightened his chest like a grown-up.
"You help me buy Tianerling. Of course, I will find another person to work with you." Ye Fan thought of his own plan to make money. If Er Yazi can do well, he can be given a commission, even if he is helping this stubborn person.
's child.
"Okay!" Er Yazi said without any hesitation, "Team Leader Ye, I will take you to see the green-haired wolf rat. You will know that I am not trying to coax you."
Eryazi said mysteriously.
Tujiaaozi used to be a very small natural village, with dozens of households, about 40 minutes away from Tianshui Bazi. Due to the inconvenient transportation more than ten years ago, they all moved away, and it is actually an empty shell.
village.
I heard that it was an authentic revolutionary front line, with the Red Army coming out, and the guerrillas fighting roundabout battles after the Red Army left. In the end, even the famous bandit leader Lang Siye in Yuyang County was shot dead by the People's Liberation Army in Tujia'aozi.
From afar, I saw a bunch of ruins scattered on the hillside. When the Tujia'aozi people moved out, some people thought it was troublesome, so they didn't even demolish the house, but only moved away the valuable items.
Furniture etc.
However, the people in Tujia'aozi were extremely poor, and even the houses were all built with mud walls. So they were not worth much, and not many people were willing to move even the rotten wood because of the inconvenient transportation.
Ye Fan and Er Yazi sneaked into the village carefully, holding a Y branch with leaves on their heads. The two men bent forward gently like thieves. They were about 40 meters away from a broken house leaning against the mountain wall.
Michu Ermeiko pointed at the dilapidated house and said mysteriously:
"Team Leader Ye, the green wolf rat's nest is on the mountain wall of that house."
"Okay! As long as we seal up the windows and door openings, isn't the green-haired wolf rat a turtle in the jar?" Ye Fan felt a little excited.
"No! Look carefully at the ground." Er Yazi said wisely.
"Underground!" Ye Fan looked around the house, "Nothing? Except for some loose soil, weeds, broken tiles, etc."
"Look there!" Er Yazi pointed.
Ye Fan observed carefully for a while and found a pile of green sausage-like things piled in front of the door of the house. Then he shook his head and said:
"Isn't it just a pile of shit? There's nothing strange about this. It should have been pulled by a green-haired wolf rat."
"Team Leader Ye, you are really a layman! The green-haired wolf rat pooped all around the nest, completely surrounding the nest. If anyone approaches its nest, the smell of its feces will be transmitted to the green wolf.
The furry wolf rat has it in its nose. So you can’t get close to its nest at all, and by the time you try to block the door or wall hole, it will have already run away.”
Er Yazi taught Ye Fan, a novice hunter, like an experienced hunter.
"Yeah! It makes sense. Many beasts have the instinct to warn their opponents by pooping and urinating. I guess this green-haired wolf rat also has this ability, but it turns the warning into an early warning. Damn it! It's the same as the Yankee's eagle eye.
Let’s compare.”
Ye Fan cursed secretly in his heart, but he found it novel.
The two lurked for nearly an hour, and sure enough, they found a thing with grass-green fur, a fox-like body, but a bit like a wolf-dog. It carefully poked its head out of the door hole. The thing sniffed, and its small eyes were round.
It was spinning. It was quite big, comparable to a small wolfdog. It was estimated to be around thirty or forty pounds.
When the mouth is opened, there are several sharp fangs that are three to four centimeters long, making the scalp feel numb.
"This thing is probably very cruel." Ye Fan muttered softly.
"That's right! I heard that one bite can bite through the wood." Er Yazi shivered for no reason, and he was probably a little scared. After all, he was a child under 15 years old.
"Go back!" Er Yazi made a gesture, and the two of them carefully sneaked outside the village after the green-haired wolf rat returned to its nest.
"Er Yazi, how can I catch him if he can't get close?"
Ye Fan asked. When it comes to hunting, Ye Fan is indeed a layman, so he is not ashamed to ask. There is no way, you have to get what Zhao Bingjian of the Finance Bureau confessed. Otherwise, how can you get money in the future and make friends with Yuyang County?
