Chapter 177: Archmage

Several people smoked around the campfire, and the smoke rose into the cold air and slowly dispersed in the dark night.

Brother Niu's chatterbox opened, pointed to a rugged stone mountain not far away, and said: "Don't look at this mountain, it was a little cold, it was very famous thousands of years ago. There are mountains and rivers before and after, it is said that the stone mountain is the small tail of the dragon vein, there is a famous hall called the dragon swinging tail, it can gather wealth, it is a rare piece of feng shui blessed land. ”

The eyes of several people followed his fingers, the night was dark, there was no starlight or moonlight, and the light of the bonfire was reflected in the air, making the surrounding darkness even more hazy and mysterious, and everywhere was gray, and even the appearance of the stone mountain could not be seen clearly, let alone anything special.

Yun Kang swept his divine sense out, and he could vaguely see that there were undulating stone mountains not far away, the shape and outline were like a giant dragon's tail, and there was indeed a magnificent place.

The layers of rock peeled off on the surface of the stone mountain are gray-black, much like some kind of metal stone mine, and if you sniff carefully, there is a faint smell of sulfur fire.

This stone mountain Yunkang looked at it a few times, and felt that there was a good atmosphere, listening to Brother Niu's next introduction, only to know that the original nearby mountains were connected together, and the stone mountain was the last one at the end, and it was also the most magical mountain range in the ancient legends nearby.

The side of the stone mountain is next to the mist-shrouded cliffs, which persist all year round, and legend has it that a wizard and immortal once practiced here in ancient times. In ancient times, the stone mountain was called Wuxian Mountain, and the cultivation of immortals left many traces of Wuxian Mountain, until today, there are still immortal qi floating around Wuxian Mountain.

According to legend, in the Zhou Dynasty, there was a ** division named Wu Xian in the country, who practiced in the mountains where the dragon swung his tail, and it is said that he knew how to detect and calculate the fortune of the world, and calculated that the Zhou Dynasty died in 800 years, so he was chased and killed by the general sent by Zhou Tianzi. Before Wu Xian died, he hid a fairy treasure in the mountain, which has been passed down to this day, and those who get this treasure can win the world. Brother Niu said in a low voice, the firelight reflected on his face, shaking brightly and darkly, and the atmosphere seemed very mysterious.

As soon as Brother Niu finished speaking, Yan Fucha laughed and said: "I said that this Brother Niu, Wu Xian is a virtuous minister of the Shang Dynasty, when did you become a member of the Zhou Dynasty, you haven't studied history well, and you can't talk nonsense." ”

Wu Xian is a historical figure, this person Yun Kang knows that "Liezi" records that during the Yellow Emperor period, "there were gods and witches who came from Qi and were in Zheng Ming Wuxian." "It was very famous during the reign of Emperor Yao, and it is said that he was good at witchcraft and astrology, could cure diseases and pray for blessings, and could make dry land rain and dead trees sprout.

Wu Xian is best known for inventing the "star pulling", which used the North Star as the preferred reference point for sailing in the sea, and the Huagai star as the reference point at low latitudes, and he founded this star pulling technique that had a huge influence on future generations of navigation.

What kind of immortal treasures did such a legendary witch immortal leave in the mountains, so that those who got the treasures could control the world?

Yun Kang remembered what Ancesi once said, she said that Boss Tang had spent his life looking for the secrets in "Lingbao Tuluo", and if he found the answer, he could become the master of the world.

This is somewhat similar to what Brother Niu said, isn't becoming the master of the world to control the world? The Great Southwest was originally a place full of mysterious legends, and the Witch Spirit King used to be active in this area frequently, so it was natural for Yunkang to connect the two.

The legend about Wu Xian is likely to be linked to the secrets of the Eight Immortals.

Yun Kang frowned, looking at the black stone mountain from afar with his divine sense, his gaze gradually becoming solemn. At night, there was a deathly silence in the woods, and there was not even the sound of insects chirping. He felt more and more uneasy, as if there was potential danger around him, but he couldn't say anything was wrong, in short, it was a bad intuition.

It's a long way from the Eight Immortals Town, a few hours' drive away, but the feng shui here is very special, and there is a yin aura that seems to stretch into the distance, forming a ferocious terrain that devours all beings, even more mysterious than the Eight Immortals Town.

Brother Niu listened to Yan Fucha refute him, his face turned red, and he muttered: "Who knows whether Wu Xian is from the Shang Dynasty or the Zhou Dynasty, anyway, he is a famous ** teacher." The legend of this stone mountain is passed down by the old generation, and everyone only cares about the treasures hidden by Wu Xian, as for the history of the dynasty, it is not so important. ”

Chen Economy likes to find fault in other people's words, and when he heard Brother Niu say this, his head immediately shook up, like a rattle, and said: "Isn't the ** division a Warcraft battle, there were already Warcraft during the Shang and Zhou dynasties?" Listening to the name Wu Xian, it should be a witchcraft, how can it be possible to hide the fairy treasure in the mountains? Wizards study the art of curing diseases, and cultivating immortals is the study of immortality and ascending to the other world, and the two are not the same thing at all. ”

Brother Niu's face turned even redder when he was questioned, and he didn't know how to defend for a while, so he insisted and said: "Wu Xian's treasure is the treasure of the fairy family, and the statement handed down by the older generations will definitely not be false." ”

Yunkang asked Chen Jingye not to interrupt Brother Niu's words, lit him a cigarette again, and encouraged him to continue: "I believe what you said, Wu Xian really has a person in history, this is definitely not made up." ”

When Brother Niu heard him say this, he came with confidence and continued to speak.

"Don't you know, there was a god in the Ming Dynasty who traveled here, saw the fairy spirit, and the blessings were full of mountains, so he used cinnabar on the top of the mountain to batch four big red characters 'Qingshan Xiuzhang'. Then the immortals stayed to practice, found a high ground and built a cultivation immortal palace. Since then, it is said that the fairy gate has been completely opened, and miracles can always be encountered in the mountains. ”

Brother Niu said that it was amazing, and Chen Economy couldn't help but ask: "What miracles can there be in this mountain?" ”

Brother Niu glanced left and right, approached the light of the bonfire, and said in a low voice: "The miracle is amazing, I heard that one year there was a plague in the village under the mountain, and the villagers went to the mountain to light incense and worship, and at night the four cinnabar characters on the top of the mountain came out with ten thousand golden lights, and the plague in the village retreated the next day." ”

Before he finished speaking, Yan Fucha pursed his lips with disdain, disagreeing with what Brother Niu said, and retorted: "Retreating from the plague can also be called a miracle? What is there to boast about, there are many famous doctors who can eliminate the plague, from ancient times to the present. ”

Brother Niu took a breath impatiently, rolled his eyes at Yan Fucha, and said, "I haven't finished speaking, what are you doing?" Whether the plague is retreated or not is not the point, the key is that after the plague, the foxes in the mountains have opened their mouths to speak human words, and even the sparrows can learn to bark as tigers. I heard that someone came back from hunting a pheasant, and the night after arriving home, one chicken turned into three chickens. He spoke with great exaggeration, spitting and shaking three fingers as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Chen Economy didn't believe these at all, and after hearing this, he bared his teeth and smiled: "In this way, this is a fairy mountain, there is a cornucopia hidden in it, but how can you not see the slightest bit of vitality, this big night looks over, like a dead man's cemetery, look at the shape of the stone mountain, like a dog gnawing." ”

He and Yan Fucha threw two cold fire sticks towards the stone mountain, instantly illuminating the hazy black shadow of the mountain stone with a layer of light, and the shape of the stone mountain was vaguely revealed.

Brother Niu looked at Chen Jingye's face with a mocking expression, and was a little dissatisfied, and snorted coldly: "The matter of Stone Mountain is not made up by me, you go to the village under the mountain to inquire, see if my words are adulterated?" ”

The cold fire rod gradually went out, and Brother Niu glanced at the black shadow of the stone mountain, and said: "In the past few years, it has been popular to blow up the mountain to take stones, blow up a piece in the east and a piece in the west, and make this very good mountain, and it will be like this when it is blown up." It was all the ignorance of those villagers under the mountain, for the sake of a few stones, that destroyed the feng shui blessed land laid by the ancestors. ”

The more Yan Fucha listened, the more curious he became, anyway, he couldn't sleep when his spirit came, so he wanted to take Yunkang to the stone mountain to have a look. When Brother Niu heard this, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "That place is a bit evil, you must not go there at night." ”

Yan Xuan, who had not spoken, lit a cigarette from the bonfire, glanced at Brother Niu with his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that Feng Shui is a treasure land, and the fairy mountain raises people, why is it evil again?" ”

Brother Niu sighed and said: "No one knows if the explosion of the mountain has damaged the feng shui, anyway, the meadows on the four sides of this stone mountain are full of holes and dark pits, these pits are very deep, and they will not be roofed if they fall." And this Yamagata is scary, and I heard that it is haunted at night. Don't come near, for if you fall into a deep pit, you won't be able to get out of it at night. ”

Yun Kang was full of doubts, thinking that there were villages under this mountain, and there were many villagers living there, and there were many people with strong yang energy, and the haunting was not reliable. It's hard to know that someone is secretly making trouble, and they don't want the villagers to get close to the stone mountain, so they make a trick to scare people.

"How did these deep holes and pits in the grass form, did they exist before?" Yunkang pondered for a moment and asked Brother Niu.

Brother Niu shook his head and said: "I run long distances on weekdays, and I have heard about the deep pits, how these pits are formed, I have to ask them the locals." ”

When several people gathered around the campfire to discuss the deep pit, Shen Duo had already found a pit ten meters away, and used a small military shovel to shovel out the weeds on it, and found that it was a dark deep hole, more than two feet wide in diameter.

Shen Duo called Yun Kang over and asked him to take a look at the pit. When several people heard this, they simply left the campfire, each holding a flashlight, and squatted next to the pit.

Yunkang pinched a handful of black soil with his hands, studied it carefully for a long time, and found nothing special. It's just that the deep pit goes straight up and down, and there is no trace of the shovel tool dug up, like a sinkhole that has suddenly sunk in.

There are many similar deep pits near Stone Mountain, all of which are hidden by weeds and are difficult to spot without looking carefully. There are large and small pits, some are just a hole the size of a fist, and there are large holes with a diameter of more than one meter and no bottom, and you will definitely not be able to climb up if you fall down.

"Is this a road collapse?" Chen Jingye found that the deep pit was formed by the collapse, and couldn't help but say crookedly: "Now there are roads in the mountains that have collapsed, and even cars can't be driven." Who has ever seen hundreds of holes collapsed on the ground, a rare wonder in a hundred years, I have let my brother catch up, and I can't stop it. ”

At this time, Yan Xuan took a long branch in his hand, stretched it into the deep pit, picked out a black insect, and threw it on a gray rock.

The insect was the size of a finger, had two pairs of wings, and had a black hard shell on its body, and its head was flattened, and its half-pulled body was wriggling, and its wings fluttered twice, and it soon stopped moving.

"What kind of bug is this, disgusting?" Chen Jingye also found a branch and stabbed the insect twice, only to see a thick stream of blood coming out of the insect's head, and the bright red flowed on the gray and white rocks, which did not look like insect blood at all.

The blood was hot, and it looked very strange when reflected in the light of the flashlight.

Yun Kang secretly wondered, does a bug have so much blood, it can't be that it has just sucked human blood. But there are only a few of them nearby, and there is no one else at all, whose blood did this black bug suck?

The black bugs were very strange-looking, they had never seen anyone before, and their long bodies were similar to those of a large wasp, but they did not look like wasps.

Yan Xuan stretched out the branch, picked up the whole dead insect, and looked closely at the flashlight, and saw that the insect's head had been trampled on, and a black hair grew on the bleeding place.

Chen Jingye was amazed and sighed repeatedly: "The world is so big, there are always unexpected things. Look at this black worm, it looks like a big locust, it should be an insect, why is it just like a human, and it grows hair? ”

Yan Fucha listened to it and smiled, he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he followed Chen Jingye's statement, and deliberately added oil and vinegar and said: "Hey, if you look at it so carefully, you dare to love an Asian variety, with a straight black head, not golden hair curls." ”

Yunkang was too lazy to take care of them, these two people got together, but they were unreliable and out of tune.

Originally, Chen Economy was still very cautious, but recently the status of the agent has improved because of Yunkang, and his arrogance and arrogance have also risen.

Yunkang looked at it with a flashlight, and the black bug did have the shadow of a locust, but if you look closely, there is a hook on its buttocks, like the long hook of a big scorpion.

Shen Duo took the small stone chip and flicked the hook, looked up and said to Yunkang: "This hook is very powerful, and it is never used as an ornament for the sake of looking good." If this bug were alive, it would definitely sting, and it would be more powerful than wasps and scorpions. ”

Yan Fucha also saw the hook, shouted exaggeratedly, opened his two-dimensional brain hole, and said to Yunkang: "Brother-in-law, what kind of breed do you say this is, could it be that the scorpion entered the locust family and became the locust son-in-law, and the two major insect families cooperated to breed the strings?" ”

Yun Kang was angry, glared at him fiercely, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, locusts and scorpions, one flies in the sky and the other runs on the ground, how can you get a piece?" Besides, scorpions do not belong to the class of insects, so what does it have to do with locusts. You honestly watch from the side, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, and run the train with your mouth full. ”

Yan Fu heard Yun Kang reprimanding him, he was very disapproving, and quibbled: "Why can't the flying in the sky and the running on the ground be together?" The flight attendant flies in the sky and marries a man who runs on the ground, isn't this called taking root, who said I don't understand?

Yun Kang knew that he was broken-mouthed, and the more he talked, the more he didn't bother to argue with him.

At this time, the flashlight shone on the corpse of the black insect, and the eyes of several people stared at it, only to see a black clump of hair hanging on the head, which seemed to block a small humanoid face, which made people look hairy and always felt that it was a bad thing.
