Buggy hit the road. started to walk at high speed, but it was still very fast and steady, Tang Yi said as if to himself, "Director Jiang is sitting in the rear, when will he come to meet us?" ”

"Leadership is leadership, this is called strategizing, winning a thousand miles." Sun Xiaowei drove the car, chewing gum in his mouth.

"He could come at any time. But now, he has to coordinate all aspects of the relationship, and he has to keep an eye on the people at the Tokyo Historical Museum. Gao Taiming said unhurriedly.

"According to the situation, the distance from the nearest entrance to the valley to the marked location is about ten kilometers in a straight line, but we have to walk, there is no road in the valley, and it is difficult to say how far to walk. Moreover, there may be poisonous insects and beasts, listen to me when the time comes. You guys can't even tell the kind of poisonous snakes, can you? Sun Xiaowei said.

Only then did Tang Yi understand that the strongest thing about daring to love Deputy Director Sun was not to appreciate treasures, but to explore in the wild, and to solicit and handle work, naturally many people needed such skills.

The valley that I am going to go to now is not as stable as the environment of Tianshou Mountain, but the mountain is high and dense, close to the city and far away, it can be described as inaccessible, the road is difficult to walk, not to mention, just poisonous insects and beasts are enough to be wary of.

Tang Yi also understood why Jiang Yingnian didn't want him to go in the first place. He has good eyesight, but this aspect is basically at the level of lagging, and the only thing that is comforting is that he is young and strong, and his physical strength is okay.

The car with a police license plate allowed them to pass unimpeded, but when they arrived in Xiling County, it was also night, and they stayed in the county's guest house, ready to rest early, and set off early the next morning.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, they set off in their cars. At the nearest entrance to the valley, there is a road that can be driven on the slope of the mountainside, leading to a small mountain village. Sun Xiaowei got out of the car, took off the license plate, and drove the car to a courtyard behind a forest in the village.

Sun Xiaowei knocked on the door of the house, and it was an old woman who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, and then an old man also walked to the door.

"Old man, we're here to play, can we put the car next to your house first?" Sun Xiaowei said, took out a hundred yuan, and stuffed it into the old woman's hand.

"Just let it go, don't don't!" The old woman pushed again and again. Sun Xiaowei tucked it into the side pocket of the old woman's blouse very skillfully.

"Let the family come in and drink water!" The old man shouted from the side.

The old woman didn't take out the money again, "Okay, this car, you're not afraid of rain, right?" ”

"It's fine." Sun Xiaowei said, glanced at Tang Yi and them, and everyone came to the small horse in the courtyard and sat down. The old man set up a few bowls on the wooden table, picked up the tin kettle, and poured water on them. After chatting a few words, I learned that the old man's two sons were working in other places, and their homes were settled outside.

Tang Yi gave the old man a cigarette, and the old man took it with a smile, put it on his ear, but took out a dry tobacco pouch, lit it, and smoked it. Tang Yi took a look, and simply took out another box of unopened cigarettes and stuffed it to the old man.

After pushing a few times, he didn't push Tang Yi, and the old man finally accepted it happily, "You guys, what kind of mule friends are you?" What's so interesting about this barren mountain? ”

"Ugh." Tang Yi explained, "Yes, I'm here to play, but it's a travel friend, not a mule friend." ”

"Mules have much more stamina than donkeys, don't you rely on endurance to climb mountains and burrow?" The old man said, "It's almost noon, let's go play after eating at home!" ”

Tang Yi looked at the time, it was only half past nine, and the old man had no sense of time, "No need, old man, we plan to have a picnic." Let me inquire, is there anything interesting about going down to this valley next to it? ”

"What? You can climb the mountain, but you can't go to this valley! The old man waved a dry tobacco stick in his hand, waved his hand again and again, and the cigarette bag and pot passed in front of Tang Yi's eyes, but fortunately Tang Yi dodged quickly.

The other three were also stunned, and the old man was obviously flustered.

"Why can't you go to this valley?" Sun Xiaowei immediately asked.

The old woman who was drying dried radishes also stopped at this time, "You young people, you don't know how heavy it is, old man, tell them about it, the big stone in our village!" ”

"Is it the two-meter-high stone erected at the entrance of the village?" Wen Jia asked, "There seem to be a few symbols engraved on it, but I didn't see it clearly in the car at the time." ”

"yes, that's the Ghost Block!" The old man put down his cigarette pouch and picked up the cigarette roll given by Tang Yi from his ear. Tang Yi immediately took out the lighter and lit it, "Then is there a ghost in this valley?" ”

"It's not a ghost, it's something that ghosts are afraid of! This ghost stone is to prevent the frightened ghosts from running to the village. The old man took a puff of his cigarette, "This valley, I don't know what it's called on the map, listen to the old generation, it's called Dajiangou!" ”

Wen Jia's face changed, "Old man, what you said about jian, write it out, but the top is gradual, and the bottom is an ear?" ”

"I don't know how to write it, that's how it is read. I only know what is inside, and I am afraid when I see ghosts, how dare people go down? I heard that this ghost stone was erected when the Ming Dynasty fell to the country, hundreds of years ago! ”

The Great Ditch.

Tang Yi glanced at Wen Jia. Sun Xiaowei and Gao Taiming glanced at each other.

People die as ghosts, and ghosts die as deaf.

When a person dies and becomes a ghost, the ghost becomes a human after reincarnation. However, if a ghost does not enter reincarnation, it will also die, and if a ghost dies, it will become deaf.

According to this statement, people and deafness are separated by two layers, and they can't see deafness, but deafness has become the thing that ghosts fear the most. Therefore, if there is really a deaf in this valley, it seems that there is not much problem for people to enter it. However, since it is something that ghosts are afraid of, and there is a ghost blocking stone at the entrance of the village, the common people naturally don't know so much, so of course they don't dare to go down!

This kind of statement is not uncommon in Xuanmen, ancient Taoist priests exorcise ghosts, and the mantra in their mouths is often this "聻" word.

If you look closely, if this character is drawn with a bit of artistic atmosphere, isn't it a bit like a tiger's head? Some exorcism charms, looking at it coldly, are a bit like a tiger's head, but in fact, they are drawn with this character. Some people also mistakenly think that the tiger head can drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts, so they will directly draw a tiger head to use.

There is also a kind of miscommunication, because the word is pronounced jian, which is the same as cheap, and some people think that ghosts are afraid of cheap things, what shit and urine, dog blood, are used to splash ghosts.

Tang Yi naturally knew about it, because there were more than one historical records in it, not to mention the remote and remote documents, even in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

The Qing Dynasty literati Yuan Mei also wrote a book "Zi Bu Si", because the records are all about some strange and chaotic things, so "Zi is silent". Among them, it specifically talks about the three fates of ghosts: honest and reincarnated; If you are not honest in the underworld, then you will become deaf; The most unlucky thing is that if you commit a big crime, then you will be wiped out directly, and you can't even do it.

"Old man, this valley, for hundreds of years, I really haven't heard of anyone going down?" Tang Yi calmed down and asked as easily as possible.
