The city recorded in the Corpse Shadow's "Yoro's Travels" is called Yelang Castle, and the city is built of stone.

The author, Richer, was a native of Xianyang, and his caravan brought silk from Chang'an to the city of Yelang, and then followed the caravan through Yunnan to India. After the silk is sold in India, the spices and gold of India are brought back.

He's a businessman, and he's a big dealer.

Ricfer usually lived in the city of Yalang for a long time, so he knew a lot about the city of Yalang. It is recorded that the city of Yelang has only one gate, the city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a river runs from north to south in the middle of the city, and this river is the source of the city's water, so the lord of the city of Yelang personally inspects the river every morning, and once he meets a woman who secretly washes clothes in the river, he will beat twenty boards on the spot. If anyone dares to wash the night pot here, he shall be fined three hundred, beaten fifty boards, and shall be forced to do hard labor for three months.

The whole castle is built of stone, and there are many stone towers in the castle that are made of stones, on which human faces are painted with colored paint, and a grand festival is held every year on June 24. During the sacrifice, shamans would burn incense and pray, and people would wear bright costumes and sing and dance around the stone pagoda.

……

According to the book, this city should be in the mountains, but there are too many mountains in Yunguichuan's generation, which is comparable to looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, there is another piece of information, that is, this Yelang City is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it means that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, east and west, and water comes from the north and goes south through the city.

The people of the city believe in witchcraft, and there are many stone towers in the city, and sacrifices are held on June 24. June 24 is an ancient traditional festival of the Yi, Bai, Naxi, Jinuo, Lahu and other ethnic groups, with deep cultural connotations. Now it's called the Torch Festival.

It can be said that these people should all be the remnants of the Yelang Country. Between them, they should be able to find clues to the city of Yero.

I read this book in one night, and I was urged by my third aunt I don't know how many times this night, so I went to bed early. But I couldn't sleep until I finished the book, so I secretly lay on the bed and read it with a flashlight.

After reading it, I felt at ease, this book is more like a book, which records a lot of small stories, and there are not many descriptions of Yelang City. But there are still some clues that can be gleaned from the only descriptions.

For example, the mountain to the east of Yelang City is called Yangshan, and the mountain to the west is called Yueshan. There is a temple of the lord on Yangshan Mountain, and there is a temple of the mother-in-law on the Moon Mountain, it is said that the lord and mother-in-law on this mountain are the ancestors of the Yelang people, and almost all of them are their descendants.

However, the relationship between their husband and wife is not very good, this ancestor likes to mess with flowers and grass outside, and the mother-in-law lives separately from the master in a fit of anger, the mother-in-law becomes the leader of the woman, and the master becomes the leader of the man, and then the two of them do not get along with each other.

After their deaths, in order to commemorate them, everyone built the Lao Ye Temple on Yangshan and the Mother-in-law Temple on the West Mountain. Every year on June 24, men will go to Yangshan with torches to worship the lord, and women will go to Yueshan to worship their mother-in-law.

I locked the book in the safe, then got into bed and lay back, closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep. In my dreams, I dreamed of Yelang City, like a wonderland, walking on the quaint and exotic streets, it was so pleasant. So much so that when I woke up, I was reluctant to have this sweet dream, and wanted to close my eyes and resume the dream, but I failed.

In the next few days, I was always thinking about Yelang City, so I went to buy a map of China and came back, pasted the map on the wall of my house, and stared at the big map in a daze when there was nothing to do.

The third aunt will cook a lot of delicious food for me every day, the third aunt will wash me on time with the malt milk essence brought by the corpse, and the aluminum cover of the ginseng royal jelly will be lifted by the third aunt with scissors, and there is a rubber lid inside, after opening, the plastic straw will be inserted/put in, and handed to my mouth for me to drink.

I felt motherly love at my third aunt, and now I understand why my father loved this woman so much. He did not hesitate to abandon his wife and children, and he also had to fight against Chen Junru The reason why I have now found it. The third aunt is indeed worthy of her father's doing.

Looking at my biological mother again, I can only sigh. I can only hope that she can live with dignity in the family of the railway worker in Tangshan, and that she can have no worries about food and clothing.

Only three days passed after such a peaceful day, and Hu Junjie suddenly came to the door one day. He came straight to my house and walked through the door without saying hello.

After he came in, he shouted loudly in the courtyard: "Chen Yuan, Huzi." ”

He came early, and I was still in bed. Huzi had already gone to the bookstore at this time.

As soon as he shouted like this, I could only sit up, and I heard the third aunt say loudly in the courtyard: "Whose young master is this so rude!" Running into someone else's yard and yelling, is that what your adults taught you? ”

Hu Junjie said: "What do you know as a woman, I'll find Chen Yuan's matter." ”

I got dressed and walked out, and said, "General Hu, why did you come to the Humble House so early?!" ”

"Don't come to this set of sour words, I have something to ask you." As he spoke, he walked forward and said, "Lead the way, to the living room." ”

The third aunt grabbed him and said, "What are you doing, this is my house, not a tavern, and you can't enter if you want to." ”

I said, "Third aunt, this is the head of the Hu family in the capital, who came to talk to me about things, first take someone to the living room and make a good pot of tea." I washed my face and went over. ”

The third aunt glanced at Hu Junjie and said, "Come with me." ”

Obviously, Hu Junjie came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, I still know why, and it's not because I ruined his business.

Obviously, Hu Junjie's deal with the corpse shadow was ruined by me.

Hu Junjie originally wanted to slaughter the corpse shadow fiercely, but after the corpse shadow came to look for me, he ran to find Brother Long. It should be easy for Hu Junjie to guess the ins and outs of the matter.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth, shaved my beard and combed my hair again, and after I arrived in the living room, Hu Junjie got straight to the point and said: "Chen Yuan, the corpse shadow and the fourth master of Long have done a deal, it has something to do with you." ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, the corpse shadow came to me and said that he wanted to receive some good things, so I told him that Brother Long had it in his hand." ”

Hu Junjie said: "The corpse shadow has been talking to me, we have been talking for half a year, and now we are about to finish the negotiation. ”

As soon as I heard the music, I said, "General Hu, do you want me to compensate you?" ”

Hu Junjie said: "There is no need for compensation, I just hope that you will use your brains more in the future." ……”

I immediately interrupted him, and I said, "General Hu, why didn't I use my brains?" I'm not in a bad head. ”

Hu Junjie was immediately angry, he pointed at me and said, "Chen Yuan, don't toast or eat and drink." Let me tell you, I, Hu Junjie, am not something that anyone can bully casually. ”

I frowned and said, "If you think I'm bullying you, that's your business." It doesn't matter to me what you think. ”

Hu Junjie was so angry that his face was already very bad, but after all, this was at my house, he couldn't help it, just snorted, and said: "I told you last time, when you have time to meet my mother, you haven't gotten there." I can also see it, Chen Yuan, you don't give me any face! Don't forget, who paid for this house. ”

I said, "General Hu, do you have amnesia?" The money to buy the house was earned by me and Huzi hunting. ”

Hu Junjie stood up at this time, looked at me and smiled coldly and said, "Chen Yuan, let's see." Since they are all mixed in the same circle, they will run into each other sooner or later. Don't blame me for not giving you face. ”

I said, "I've never asked people to give me face, I'm just a farmer." I know how many pounds and taels I have. ”

Hu Junjie nodded and said, "Okay, Chen Yuan, the mountains don't turn around, you'd better don't have anything to ask me, it's best not to fall into my hands." ”

I looked at Hu Junjie and shook my head, and said lightly: "I don't accept threats!" ”

I have secretly developed for so long, not to bully people, my original purpose was to use it at this time, when I looked at Hu Junjie, I had enough confidence to say this kind of non-humble and lethal words to him.

I don't worry about him beating me up anymore.

Obviously, I'm no longer afraid of him!

Hu Junjie nodded and said: "Very good, on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, my Hu family will hold a treasure hunt conference in the world, to put it bluntly, they are all people who touch the gold circle, and that day will also be a huge/big trading day, and the venue is located in Yang Liuqing in Tianjin." When the time comes, you and Huzi must go to participate! ”

I nodded and said, "It will definitely arrive." ”

Hu Junjie waved his sleeves and left. I looked at his back and smiled, and I knew that now I was completely straight in front of him.
