The motorcycle was borrowed by Jiang Xia from Chang Shuxin, and Officer Chang has been squatting in Feiju Village for the past few days, and he doesn't need it anyway. Although this car is broken and old, the patent leather has fallen off a lot, and the words "Chuyang Township Police Station" can be vaguely seen, but it is very strong and resistant, on this mountain road, it should be the most convenient and fast means of transportation, and the four-wheel drive off-road vehicle is not good for it.

Feiju Village is only a dozen kilometers away from Songhe Valley, and the straight line on the map is only a dozen kilometers, but to bypass the majestic mountains, you have to walk a long way from Guidong City, Hunan Province to Suichuan City, Jiangxi Province.

You Fang set off before dawn, rode a broken motorcycle down the mountain, passed through a dilapidated country road, then got on the road, entered Jiangxi Province, and then went up the mountain again, or a tattered country road, which was more broken than the motorcycle he was riding. The road into Songhe Valley is very complicated, there are many forks in the mountains, if it weren't for Xiang Yinghua's various detailed road signs, and Youfang's memory and ability to check the terrain are super strong, it is really not easy for ordinary people to find it for the first time.

Along the way, in addition to stopping for a meal and refueling the motorcycle, the tour party has been in a hurry, and it is always too late to go to the mountain to worship, which is too rude.

Spiraling up the mountain road, close to the Songhe Valley, the road between the mountains is very well repaired, and the asphalt gravel road is very smooth, which can accommodate two cars to go wrong. The closer you get to Songhe Valley on the speeding motorcycle, the more you feel that it is really a good scenery!

Needless to say, the beauty of mountains and streams, peaks and forests is full of aura and flows in nature. The beauty of the landscape is also different, especially in the eyes of people like Youfang, if it is a painting without a spiritual surname, the painting is just a pile of danqing, and the scenery along the way here is like an unfolded, full of aura of vivid animation.

Although this road is well repaired, the trend is very undulating and rugged, there are many curves and sharp curves, and the tour party also found a few seemingly meaningless loops and forks, which may turn down the mountain if you are not careful. This section of the road to Yinghua did not say a road sign, but only told him to follow the direction of the mountain veins.

The more you walk, the more you are amazed, although this place is in the deep mountains, it does not seem to be remote at all, on the contrary, with the extension of the road, it is a distant artistic conception. Every turn of the mountain road is a landscape, and it is a game of moving step by layer. The wonder of moving the garden and landscaping in the traditional Chinese garden is actually presented as a whole through the peaks of the show, which is like a natural garden.

The weather is still very cold in the early spring of March of the solar calendar, and the place where the Songhe Valley is located is already a mountainous area above 1,000 meters above sea level, and the tourist party does not wear gloves and hats on a motorcycle, although he does not feel very cold with his physique, his cheeks are already red, his breath is white mist, and his hair is as messy as a chicken nest by the wind.

After passing through a lush bamboo forest, another sharp turn turned around, and there was a hexagonal pavilion on the side of the road, in which five people stood in the pavilion. Looking at the other end of the road, there is a rare open land in the deep mountains, which is a natural village, with blue bricks, blue tiles and white powder walls of every house, and the distribution is scattered, and it has vaguely formed a formation that contains health and gathers spirit.

Xiang Xiaoli, Xiong Dawei, Qianbei Daoren, Shen Shenyi, Xiang Yinghua and other five people sat on the bamboo chairs in the pavilion and drank tea, and they had already stood up when they heard the sound of motorcycles. Then you Fang had already come to the front of the pavilion quickly, saw this scene and crunched the brakes, leaned the broken motorcycle against the tree on the side of the road, and walked straight over.

Who is this man? Xiang Xiaoli and others have extraordinary eyesight, and they have long been able to see the mottled handwriting on the broken motorcycle, and it is not the turn of the township police station to handle cases across provinces?

It was still the Qianbei Daoist who reacted the fastest, and shouted from afar: "Brother Rand, you are so chic!" ”

Hearing this, everyone's reaction was different, Xiang Xiaoli was stunned, and secretly said in his heart that this fellow Taoist was too straightforward, and he had never seen such a mountain worship in the imprint. And Shen Shenyi was a little surprised but relieved, this person looked very young, only in his early twenties, as if he didn't have any seniors, otherwise he would really be difficult to speak.

Xiong Dawei frowned darkly, a little puzzled. Only Xiang Yinghua smiled imperceptibly, she recognized this motorcycle, which was ridden by the police officer of the Feiju Village Jianxiang Police Station.

You Fang was also surprised to see the Thousand Cup Daoist at a glance, and hugged his fists while striding away: "Thousand Cup Dao Chief, are you also there?" ”

Qianbei walked down the steps of the pavilion, took his arm to greet him, and said to everyone: "Brother Land, let me introduce you to you, this is Xiang Xiaoli, the new master of Songhe Valley, this is Xiong Dawei, the master of Yunnan Mingcuiquan, and this is Shen Shenyi, the head of the Nine Star Sect, as for the Moon Shadow Fairy, I don't need to introduce you." ”

Xiang Xiaoli and Xiong Dawei bowed, and bowed to Yinghua with some hesitation: "I've seen Uncle Mei, Yinghua doesn't know the identity of his predecessors, and there are many offenses, please forgive me!" ”

You Fang glanced at Qianbei and immediately reacted to something, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't call me a senior, Mei is a young person who cultivates to a low level, and he can't afford it, so he will lose his fortune and longevity!" You should call me Mr. Mei as before. ”

Qianbei Daoist patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "That's right, you are indeed young, it is too embarrassing to let so many old men call you a senior in the rivers and lakes." But you can't call it randomly, the word Mr. is good, it has a lot of meanings, I call you a brother, other colleagues, just call you Mr. Rand, last time we met, many people called you that. ”

The words were very clever to resolve the embarrassment of seniority and title, Shen Shenyi, the head of the Nine Star Sect, looked like a person in his thirties, but his speech and temperament were obviously much older, and he was actually almost sixty. Hearing what the Thousand Cup Daoist said, he stepped forward and saluted very quickly: "Shen Shenyi, the head of the Nine Star Sect, has seen Mr. Rand and Sun Fengbo, and I have already told my senior sister about it, thank you for helping the Nine Star Sect clean up the portal!" What is the condition of the sir's injuries? ”

You Fang also saluted: "A little injury, it's not in the way, it's already healed." Killing the master of your faction wearing the cane, I was worried that there would be some trouble before I came, and I needed to explain it well, but I didn't expect that Master Shen was so reasonable and aware of righteousness, and I was relieved. ”

Shen Shenyi: "Why did Mr. Rand say this?" After returning to the mountain to Senior Sister, Sun Fengbo's cause and consequences have been revealed, and I should be ashamed of me, the head of the Nine Star Sect, and I can only be grateful. ”

David Xiong said on the side: "Let's not talk here, there are still many people waiting to see Brother Rand." ”

A few people walked out of the pavilion to the village, and You Fang smiled at Xiang very apologetically: "I thought this was a troublesome thing, so I didn't dare to disturb the enthronement ceremony of the master of the door, and I didn't come until today." I had been recuperating in the mountains before, and I came in a hurry, and I didn't even bring a congratulatory gift to the mountain, so don't be surprised by the door owner. ”

This is really straightforward, You Fang is indeed worshipping the mountain empty-handed, he has no family background, he really has no gifts to give, except for Qin Yu, there are only eleven spars on his body, so he can't send them to the family spars, right? People are open crystal mines, and the people who go to kill pigs to send vice ribs for the New Year are not like that.

He appeared like this, like this, saying this kind of thing, he looked a little poor and sour, and he didn't know how to answer Xiang Xiaoli, he could have said a few modest polite words, but he asked a vulgar question: "Brother Rand, have you eaten?" ”

You Fang smiled and nodded: "I ate, I ate on the way here." ”

Xiong Dawei's expression on the side was a little strange, where is the slightest taste of the seniors' acquaintance and conversation? However, Shen Shenyi thought it was very interesting, he was too young and too tall, and it was easy to be disgusted by his peers, but this Mr. Rand was simple and cute. Xiang Yinghua also wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he couldn't help but laugh.

Xiangjia Village is outside the Songhe Valley, and the people in the village are not all practicing the secret methods of feng shui, but the industry of the Xiangjia family has been operating very well over the years, and ordinary people are not willing to live in this deep mountain, either to live in nearby counties and cities to enjoy a comfortable and convenient urban life, or to go outside the mountain to operate various industries. The people who continue to stay here are all disciples who practice the secret methods of Feng Shui, and the village has almost become a hidden paradise.

The mountain road passes through the village, and at the end is already at the foot of the dangerous peak surrounded by dense forests, and the southernmost part of the village is an ancestral hall. You Fang raised his eyes to see the colored beams and carved bricks, and then looked around, this building is at least 600 years old, after many repairs and paintings in the past dynasties, the appearance is still very new, it is the Songhe Hall.

"Has the Xiang family settled here since the Ming Dynasty?" When entering the Songhe Hall, You Fang asked casually.

"That's true, did Yinghua tell you?" Xiang Xiaoli also replied casually.

Xiang Yinghua was surprised: "I didn't say this, how did Mr. Mei see it?" "The painted beams of this ancestral hall are repainted in modern times, and the shadow grid carved bricks on the wall were replaced during the Qing Dynasty repairs.

You Fang stretched out his hand and pointed to the pillar of the main hall in the courtyard of the gate and said: "The square cornerstone is more than half a person high, and the falcon is connected to the wooden pillar on it, which is a typical Ming Dynasty style." This Songhedo Hall has been renovated many times, but the foundation has not been moved. ”

Xiang Yinghua suddenly said: "I almost forgot that Mr. Rand is also an archaeological expert and has a lot of research on ancient buildings. ”

When You Fang entered the village, the masters of all factions had just had lunch, and they had already received the news and were waiting in the main hall of Songhe Hall.

From the head of the village to the end of the village, inadvertently, his hair is no longer a messy chicken nest, neat but smart, with only a few slightly messy hairs on his forehead. The face is no longer red, and the breath is constricted and has a warm luster. There is no trace of wind and dust on Zhou's body, although he is wearing a very ordinary thick coat, but his bearing is graceful, and his steps have a rhythm that echoes the two peers around him, and it seems that every step can be in harmony with the earth qi spirit center without a trace of disturbance.

Talking and laughing into the door, his expression is neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor a trace of timidity. You Fangchang is already handsome, and as a boy, he is even a little too delicate, but at this moment, he has an inexplicably more heroic temperament, which is really the demeanor of a young senior.

Xiang Xiaoli and the others noticed his current appearance with a side face, and they were also secretly taken aback, they didn't see any special movements from him all the way just now, and they used their divine sense to wash away the color of the wind and dust, and they could control it so subtlely that it was not noticeable, it was just a very small change, but it was already beautiful. is worthy of being a disciple trained by the predecessors, and even Xiang Yinghua's eyes were a little surprised.

Almost needless introduction, as soon as they entered the door, everyone in the hall naturally recognized You Fang as "Melander", and they all got up and saluted. Xiang Xiaoli was introduced one by one, and said hello first, Brother Rand is young and modest, everyone does not have to be formal, the younger generation can call Mr. Rand regardless of age.

Everyone is not familiar with each other, it is nothing more than a few polite words that have been admired for a long time and dare not be deserved, which both praise each other and express modesty. After seeing the ceremony, he sat down to drink tea, You Fang originally came to explain Sun Fengbo's affairs, but after he came, there was nothing to explain, and everyone talked about the "Ancestor Worship Ground" ceremony two days later, and warmly invited him to stay and watch the ceremony.

You Fang didn't want to stay in this place from the bottom of his heart, but it was not easy to excuse himself at the moment, just stay in Xiangjia Village for two days, he also wanted to see and open his eyes. After chatting for a while, Xiang Yinghua said: "Mr. Rand is the first time to come to Songhe Valley, and he hasn't visited the valley yet, right?" ”

Qianbei Taoist echoed: "Yes, don't sit here, enter Songhe Valley, this is the way of hospitality." ”

Xiang Xiaoli nodded hurriedly: "It's my negligence, Brother Rand, let's go into the valley for a while, and tonight we will prepare a little wine in the valley to enjoy the friendship of the landlord." ”

Everyone got up and walked to the back of the Songhe Hall, out of the backyard is a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, the thick green bamboo at the mouth of the cup is lush, the growth is not sparse and dense, there is a layer of withered yellow bamboo leaves scattered on the ground in the forest, there is no road, everyone passes directly through the forest, the feet rustle, but there is no footprint.

Out of the bamboo forest, the terrain is already very steep, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb on their feet, and the primeval jungle full of vines is in front of it, as if no one has ever been here since ancient times. There is a hidden path in the forest of Tengluo Mountain, which seems to be a natural formation of a clearing without shrubs under the big trees, and it seems that there is no end and no regularity along the bends of the big trees, but in fact, it is not far.

Bypassing a big tree, the sun shines as if seeing the sky again, and a hexagonal pavilion appears on the halfway slope of a mountain beam, which is almost the same as the pavilion at the entrance of Xiangjia Village, and there are two disciples of Xiangjia in the pavilion who bow their hands to everyone. You Fang has a feeling that this pavilion implies a large feng shui array, and the six pillars are the center of the array, which seems to be the same as the one at the entrance of the village, but in fact the pillars are three feet high.

As he walked by, he inexplicably remembered the six flags that Xiang Zuo Fox had laid in the Xianggu Valley.

There were neat bluestone steps next to the pavilion, and it was actually walking down the mountain beam, and at this time I heard the sound of gurgling water, and a clear mountain stream was not far ahead. The bluestone road stretches forward a short distance above the mountain stream, and after walking for about a mile, there is a small waterfall like a jade belt pouring down on the left side of the mountain stream.

The road turns left next to the waterfall and goes up, and the sound of water in the forest on the right side is continuous, which is another tributary of the upstream of the waterfall that joins the mountain stream just now, and the drop along the mountain is large. The bluestone steps gradually ascended to the top of the mountain beam, and the dense forest seemed to have no way but suddenly turned right, and a stone bridge crossed the deep stream on the stream, and the eyes suddenly opened up!

The topography here is strikingly similar to Feiju Village, and it is also the valley behind the front village, there are two main differences: there is a seemingly very treacherous mountain peak that covers the entrance of the valley, and there is a lake and a pool on the left and right sides of the other end of the valley, the lake is large and shallow, the pool is small and deep, and it is in the shape of the moon respectively, it is two small reservoirs that are semi-artificial and semi-natural, and it is also the birthplace of two streams.

The feng shui wall here is more complete, even perfect, and has been carefully and skillfully created through the ages.

"Brother Rand, this place is called Songhe Valley, do you know where Songhe is?" Today, you are the host and guest, and Xiang Xiaoli is very enthusiastic to walk with him, and take the lead in crossing the stone bridge into the valley.

You Fang pointed forward: "The opposite side is pine by the peak, and the wing peaks on both sides are cranes, the shape and law are full of momentum, worthy of the name of the pine crane, the world's feng shui peach orchard!" ”

There was a crane chirping between the words, there were many ancient pines around the mountains, and there were really red-crowned cranes inhabiting the valley, but You Fang was talking about the feng shui form method, and the elder Yun Feixu of the shape method behind him smiled knowingly.

Entering this valley, You Fang vaguely sensed it, and the various spiritual centers converged and echoed to form a huge magic circle, which had the effect of condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to make it more pure, making this valley invisibly become a cave sky. The pure aura of heaven and earth runs regularly in the formation without being broken, and it is integrated with the huge natural feng shui wall, showing a trend of smoke and haze.

Such a huge magic circle between heaven and earth is simply not like it can be completed by human beings, but it bears the traces of human beings in the past. You Fang naturally remembered the Eight Great Places of Yanjing, and also understood why Xiang Zuohu took his disciple Hu Xuyuan to the Eight Great Places of Yanjing to "visit", where the pattern also contained a large feng shui array that had been vaguely formed after thousands of years of construction.

However, the Feng Shui Great Array in the Eight Great Places is not built by one faction, and the intentional and unintentional secrets in the construction of the past dynasties are only a vague prototype that is incomplete, and the scope is very large and cannot be launched by manpower. Xiang Zuohu took his disciples there to investigate and confirm, Hu Xuyuan will have a lot of gains and insights, and he can understand the Songhe Valley formation more thoroughly.

This is the opportunity to point out Hu Xuyuan to Zuohu, and Liu Li also asked You Fang to go to the Bada at that time, and also pointed out the enlightenment opportunity of the disciples, it depends on the fate of each person. Outcome...... Alas, hemp rope through tofu - can't mention!

The large array in Songhe Valley was not real, the void and reality were looming, and it was impossible for him to check the hidden places of other sects everywhere like he did when he visited the Eight Great Places. Is this the Heavenly Machine Array mentioned in the casual conversation just now? I heard that it can be activated, and this is what the tour party is most interested in, otherwise it would not have stayed.

That night, a banquet was held in the Fuliang residence where the disciples gathered in the valley, to entertain all the fellow rivers and lakes, the delicacies of the mountains, the delicacies, the wine and the delicacies are rare to enjoy outside the mountain, and there have been more than a dozen similar banquets recently, and it is strange that ordinary people are not eaten poor, but it is just a small dish for the Xiang family. Tonight's guest and guest are, of course, the tour side.
