426 Old Village

Chen Xiu blushed at his ignorance, but seeing that Yi Zhixing was so clear about local things, he was even more sure that Yi Zhixing must have been here before.

The car drove three or four kilometers on the bumpy dirt road and ran out of way, so Chen Xiu had to pull over.

"Yi Lao, there is no road ahead!"

"Hey...... No way, it's right. I didn't remember the direction when I got to the intersection just now, so I asked the old man about it at the grocery store.

Twenty years ago, I disguised myself as a police officer and drove a police car to ask for directions, and the local villagers dared to show me the way, so I went to the next town.

Just now I asked the old man for a cigarette in the local dialect and asked him for directions. This old man didn't fool me this time.

Here I remember that when I came 20 years ago, the car could only drive here.

Alright, get off. ”

Chen Xiu got out of the car and was immediately attracted by a high and steep mountain peak on the left, only to see that there was actually a house on the mountainside.

The house was neither a villa nor a temple, and the hill it was located on was so steep that it looked like a bunker from a distance.

"Yi Lao, what kind of place is that?"

"Bunkers. ”

"What a bunker!?Who built such a bunker there in such a steep place?"

"Of course, it was built by the local villagers, or someone else would have spent this effort. However, the bunker was also built more than 200 years ago, and it has not been repaired for decades now, and it is already dilapidated. ”

"More than two hundred years!"

Chen Xiu was even more strange, "People more than two hundred years ago were fed and fed, what is the use of making such a bunker on the mountain?"

Do you know what the name of the place is?"

"Old village. ”

"What does Zhai mean?"

"It's really a cottage here!"

"Let me tell you, although this place is now a bird that does not, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was the only way from southeast Guangxi to Quang Nam Province.

The ancestors of the villagers of this old village are all people from Shanzhai Mountain. A checkpoint is set up here to collect tolls for merchants. As soon as the officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress, they ran to the pillboxes on the mountain.

The terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and as long as enough food is prepared inside, thousands of officers and soldiers will not be able to attack it!"

Chen Xiu really couldn't imagine that this place was really a bandit's den!

It is no wonder that more than 200 years later, the people here are still so strong, and the police officers dare to show the way when they ask for directions.

Their ancestors have killed many officers and soldiers, and you can be considered kind if you fool you!

"Let's go, it'll be dark if you don't go up the mountain. ”

"Go up the hill, go there!"

"There!"

Yi Zhixing pointed to the bunker on the mountain and said with a smile: "Take you to visit the bunker!"

......

Chen Xiu followed Yi Lao all the way to the mountain, due to the steep terrain, naturally he could not go up the mountain in a straight line, but could only rotate around the mountain.

Yi Zhixing is more than 60 people, after climbing the mountain for more than half an hour, he was already panting, walking and stopping, seeing Chen Xiu is leisurely stroll, not sweating much, I couldn't help but doubt life: "Am I really old?!"

After more than an hour, with Chen Xiu's support, Yi Zhixing finally came to the fortress on the mountainside.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Yi Zhixing sat on the ground with his buttocks and panted 的️, this consumption of physical energy was just a warm-up for Chen Xiu, and he was interested in visiting this bunker.

Because of the disrepair, half of the roof of the bunker house has collapsed, and it is also overgrown with weeds. But there were two earthen cannons made of pig iron standing at the door.

"Damn, there are cannons! How fierce the people in this cottage used to be!"

Chen Xiu patted one of the earthen cannons in the past, and it was rusty on one hand.

"That thing is something from the late Qing Dynasty, and it can scare people, and the range is estimated to be less than 500 meters, and it may explode at any time!"

At this time, Yi Zhixing also relieved his breath, and stood up when he saw a branch made of crutches.

"Follow me!"

Following Yi Zhixing to detour to the back of the bunker, Yi Zhixing pointed to a location with a cane and said, "Dig here!"

Chen Xiu found a branch from the side, but fortunately he had enough strength, the soil was very compact, and ordinary people couldn't dig it without a hoe.

"Is there any treasure here?"

Seeing Yi Zhixing's gaze follow every time he digs up the soil, his face is excited, and Chen Xiu has doubts in his heart.

After digging half a meter deep, he saw that there was a clay pot buried underneath, Chen Xiu picked up the surrounding soil, took the clay pot out of it, and couldn't wait to open the lid sealed with yellow mud on it.

"Is there any water?" Yi Zhixing asked anxiously.

"It was well sealed and there was no water ingress. ”

"That's good, get the stuff out!"

Chen Xiu reached into the crockpot and found a oilcloth bag, Yi Zhixing grabbed it, and couldn't wait to open it, only to see that it was a round item wrapped in a cowhide box. The cowhide looked very old, but it hadn't rotted yet.

Yi Zhixing opened the cowhide box and saw that there was a compass inside, which was stuck with the gossip direction, and it was divided into 360 degrees, one degree and one grid, and there were many small characters on each grid.

"Damn, I thought you took me to climb the mountain for half a day to dig for gold, but it turned out to be a compass!"

"You know!"

Yi Zhixing scolded with a smile and said, "Don't you want to learn the feng shui of Longhu Mountain with me." Let me tell you, this is not an ordinary compass! This is the token of the head of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and many of our secret techniques for viewing Feng Shui must use this Star Dou compass!"

"The token of the master?"

Chen Xiu pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "What age are you still in charge?" It is estimated that you are alone in the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain now, and you are the head and disciple!"

Chen Xiu was also accustomed to complaining, but it was not like this but it touched the soft piece of Yi Zhixing's heart, his face suddenly darkened, and he sighed and said, "Eh, the master asked me to bare the lintel back then." I've almost spent the rest of my life in prison, I'm so sorry master!"

Chen Xiu really couldn't think of his unintentional words, which really made the whole old man sad, and he stood by awkwardly for a while and didn't know how to comfort him.

Yi Zhixing stroked the compass for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "Master, you just let the disciple and I do another vote." I promise that after this vote, I will wash my hands with gold plates, and promise not to do tomb robbing again.

The rest of my life is used to carry forward the feng shui of our Longhu Mountain.

Master, if you have a spirit in the sky, you must bless me!"

Saying that, he pressed one hand on the back of the compass, rotated it twice to the left, and then rotated it three times to the right, and with a "click", the compass was divided into two, and it turned out that there was a hollow tray with a piece of brown paper inside.
