208. History of Blackstone Village
After completing the transaction, Deming Dao asked: "Boss, I fancy these six kinds of treasures here, I don't know if your friends still have treasures in their hands, it's not easy for me to come here, if they have what I like, I also want to buy them together now." ”
"Yes, yes. Since Mr. has this Yaxing, please wait a while, and I will find some friends to come over. The owner of the store was very happy, and quickly packed the box and took out his mobile phone to send a group message.
After a while, some middle-aged men gathered in the front hall one after another. Everyone is mixed in this realm, how can there be no reason not to know? As soon as they met, everyone greeted each other with a warm greeting, which seemed very enthusiastic. As soon as the shopkeeper saw that everyone was coming, he immediately brought them into the backyard and introduced them to Deming Dao. After exchanging names with them, Deming Dao did not grind, and directly turned on the sweeping mode, and followed them to visit them one by one to select the treasures. In the afternoon, a lot of rare objects were collected, but the large pieces of jade and the rare things that Deming Dao wanted most did not come across any of them. Dai Mingdao couldn't help but sigh lightly, sure enough, the first time he went to Taishi Antique Street, he could get "Hundred Alchemy Refined Iron", which is a chance against the sky.
These bosses saw that Demingdao was a little sullen and hurriedly asked him why. Dai Mingdao also briefly talked about the need for large pieces of jade.
One of the chubby bosses immediately said when he heard Deming's demand: "Speaking of jade, I saw a stone more than one meter high a few years ago when I was 'shoveling land' in a village in the northern suburbs. At that time, it was pestled in the courtyard of a dilapidated old house, and the whole body was smooth without any concave and convex feeling, but it was dark from top to bottom, and it was not reflected in the sun. At that time, I reached out and touched the cold tentacles, and the sound was low and deep. I wondered what it was. I thought it must be a treasure, so I asked the family how much money they could sell. At that time, the owner of the house said that this stone, which had been handed down by their ancestors, had always been there, and no one could move it. His great-grandfather said that as long as someone can move it, it belongs to whom. In the past, eight or nine young men in their village wanted to work together, but they couldn't do it. At that time, I didn't believe in evil and tried to move it, but it turned out that it was so slippery that I couldn't even hold it, let alone move it. ”
"Hearing Ge Pang say this, I also remembered that the village was named after this black stone, and it was called 'Black Stone Village'!" Someone hurriedly chimed in.
"Speaking of the 'Black Stone Village', I have heard a legend: according to legend, thousands of years ago, there were monsters in our Hangzhou area, and a Taoist immortal could not bear the suffering of the people, so he used a divine object to suppress the monster in that area, so as to ensure that the wind and rain in our Hangzhou area were smooth and the country and the people were safe."
"You can't be talking about the story of Xu Xian and the White Lady, right?" Someone sarcastically said.
"Of course not!" The man retorted, "Ever since the monster was suppressed in the vicinity of 'Blackstone Village', the villagers of this 'Blackstone Village' have become strange. ”
"What do you mean by that? They looked fine when I went there that time. Ge Pang recalled.
"It's normal during the day, but at night, especially in the middle of the night, the villagers sleepwalk en masse, and every time they sleepwalk, they gather in the direction of the rock. This is not a legend, it is well documented. More than 20 years ago, a provincial survey team went into the village to investigate the stone. At that time, an expert discovered this bizarre incident because he didn't sleep at night to report it. At that time, he noticed that not only the villagers, but also his companions who had come with him to investigate, were sleepwalking. The next day, he also asked those colleagues, and they all said that he slept very solidly and did not have any abnormalities. Later, when the investigation did not make any substantial progress, it was proposed to use an excavator to dig up the stone and bring it back for further study, but the villagers stopped it, saying that doing so would break the rules set by the ancestors. Then the matter was settled. This matter is recorded in the local county annals, and you can check it if you don't believe it. ”
The man said eloquently, and there were historical sources to prove it, which inevitably aroused Demingdao's curiosity. He saw that it was still early, and decided to go around the "Black Stone Village" to see what was so magical about that magical black stone.
So, Ge Pang became the guide, and another owner with a commercial car temporarily acted as a driver, taking the six people of Deming Road to Heishi Village in the northern suburbs.
Heishi Village is not the kind of poor and backward mountain village that everyone imagines, where the land is fertile, the rivers are crisscrossed, the transportation is convenient, and it is a beautiful scenery of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, in recent years, the village has vigorously developed rural tourism and farmhouse economy, and many tourists come here every year.
In the beginning, tourists came here for the beautiful environment and green and pollution-free food. And all the tourists who stay here find themselves enjoying a baby's sleep here, and the next day they wake up refreshed, almost like ten years younger. This kind of nirvana-like refreshing experience is spread through the mouths of tourists, so more and more tourists come to Black Rock Village to experience magical sleep, and gradually the magic of Black Rock Village and the legend of the black stone spread, and then attracted more tourists.
The leadership team of the village felt that this was a good project to develop the village's economy, so they started to advertise "Golden Sleep" and "Black Gold Divine Stone". They claim that as long as they come to Blackstone Village, people who have insomnia, depression or poor sleep can find their childhood golden sleep here; And this "black gold divine stone" has also been made into a priceless treasure, and they claim that as long as anyone can move it, they will give it to him for free.
This kind of extremely fantasy effect and "priceless treasure" these four words, fully cater to people's curiosity and desire to get rich overnight, the fame of Black Stone Village quickly spread to foreign countries, now not only tourists in the province come to visit, even the country and even the world's bizarre event lovers are also flocking there, every other group to come.
On the way to Blackstone Village, Meng Yuanyun curiously searched for information about Blackstone Village on the Internet, and found that the most common thing was a video of a group of people singing and dancing around a black stone. Although the people in those videos were different in gender, appearance, skin color, fat and thin, Deming said that they quickly discovered several things that these people had in common: the videos were shot at night; In the video, everyone dances around a black pillar with their eyes closed; The shooting angles of the videos are all the same, and they are suspected to be surveillance cameras; The text captions accompanying the video all indicate that on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain day, the publisher monitored and photographed himself dancing after staying in Blackstone Village, but he had no impression at all.
"Hey, that's really interesting...... Demingdao muttered as he touched his chin after watching a few videos.
When Dai Mingdao and his party came to Blackstone Village, it was already ten minutes of sunset, but it was still a lively scene full of tourists. After the driver parked the car, everyone did not rush to find a homestay to stay, but went straight to the "black gold god stone".
Led by Ge Pang, the group soon came to a building on a hillside at the back of the village. The building is a one-entry structure, surrounded by a wall more than two meters high, with a double maroon gate that opens open, and you can see the large black pillars standing upright in the middle of the square. Looking up again, there is a large black plaque with gilded edges hanging under the eaves directly above the gate, with three big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on it - "Shenshi Temple"!
Ge Pang stood at the gate and looked left and right, and said in a slurp: "Tut-tut, a few years ago this was still a dilapidated old house, but I didn't expect that such a magnificent ancestral hall would be built now." ”
"What's so strange about that. This is the key to their money, how can they have to decorate it magnificently, otherwise how can they sell tickets to make money? Ann said as a matter of course. This is all a basic routine, and my sister has seen it countless times!
"This lady, you can say wrong, in addition to the accommodation provided by tourists in Blackstone Village, there is a fee, and other tourism projects, including entering this 'Divine Stone Temple', are completely free!" A loud voice came from inside the gate. Everyone followed the sound and saw a tall middle-aged man striding out of the door, and greeted everyone warmly: "Welcome to Blackstone Village!" ”
"The contemptible person's name is Jia Renzhen, I don't know what to call this one?" Deming Dao stepped forward to say hello.
"My name is Li Lei, and I am the village party secretary of Heishi Village." Li Lei introduced himself briskly, and then said very cheerfully: "You guys came to see the 'Black Gold Divine Stone', right?" It's standing in the middle of the square inside the door, and you can look at it and try it as you like, and you can take it away if you move it. ”
"So refreshing? Nothing is going to be boring, is it? The girls gathered together and muttered.
"You're thinking too much." Li Lei shook his head and smiled: "This 'Black Gold Divine Stone' is not a thing in our village in the first place, and it will be taken away sooner or later." We, the villagers, are only responsible for the safekeeping, and this custodian has been kept for thousands of years, and we are already very content. Speaking of which, we have had a lot of bizarre stories here over the past thousands of years! ”
"I like to hear stories the most, tell us about it!" Meng Yuanyun immediately said.
"Hehehe, looking at your dusty appearance, you must have just arrived here. I don't have anything to do, so I'll go around with you and tell you these interesting stories by the way. Li Lei looked the little girl in front of him up and down, and felt that although she looked ordinary, her voice was extraordinarily beautiful, which made people feel more cordial, so he volunteered to be a temporary commentator.
Li Lei turned around and led the way in front, saying as he walked: "A long, long time ago, our 'Black Stone Village' was not called by this name. Because our village is located at the confluence of one mountain, two roads and three rivers, it is named 'Six Traces Collection'. Legend has it that on a sunny and cloudless day, the sky suddenly darkened. Everyone looked up at the sky, only to see that the sun was suddenly obscured by an unknown object that looked like clouds and not clouds, fog and fog. At first, people thought it was a tengu eclipse day, so they took out their pots and pans and beat gongs and drums in an attempt to 'scare' the tengu away, but soon they found out that this was not the case. The tumbling mass of unidentified objects grew larger and larger, and the surrounding environment became darker and darker, almost to the point where you could not see your fingers. Later, after a loud bang, the black object suddenly disappeared, and a black stone appeared on the ground - this is the origin of the 'Black Gold Divine Stone'. As he spoke, Li Lei pointed to the black stone in the middle of the square.
"I heard that there is a legend that there is a monster that has caused trouble in the world and has been suppressed by the masters under this 'Black Gold Divine Stone', is it true?" Xiaowei asked curiously.
"I've heard of this legend too, but I can tell you that it's a false legend created by false rumors." Li Lei denied: "Suddenly, it was dark, flying sand and rocks, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a monster, and it is not surprising that it is rumored like this." ”
Li Lei spoke, bringing everyone to the side of this "Black Gold Divine Stone". Everyone reached out to touch it curiously, and sure enough, as Ge Pang said, the tentacles were cold and smooth. Everyone circled around the black stone a few times, and they also held it with their own hands, pulled and pushed, but the stone just didn't move. The physical strength of the girls is many times stronger than that of ordinary people, and ordinary people naturally don't have to think about things that they can't do! The girls all glanced at Deming, and they were confident in their boyfriends.
Dai Mingdao didn't go up directly to try his skills, but reached out and touched the stone, felt it carefully, and then knocked on the stone again, listened to the sound it made, and finally turned his head and asked Li Lei: "Didn't you think about knocking down a stone to analyze and study?" With the help of the external titanium alloy dog eyes, he scanned the black stone in front of him, but all the information he got was ??? , which piqued his curiosity. What titanium alloy dog eyes can't distinguish is either a priceless treasure or a secret in a secret, no matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal!
"Why haven't you thought about it? In the past, there was a person who couldn't move the whole piece of the 'Black Gold Divine Stone' and wanted to knock the next piece and take it away. But who knew that when he picked up the axe, the 'Black Gold Divine Stone' immediately broke a hole. Then a black mist poured out of the breach and enveloped him, and by the time the black mist dissipated, the person who had destroyed the Divine Stone was already lying upright on the ground unconscious. Li Lei seemed to have palpitations and said: "When that incident happened, I was still a teenager!" I also watched with a few friends come to the village to carry rocks that day, so I remember it very well. The man was carried away, and it was later heard that although he was not dead, he was in a vegetative state. The older generation said that this was a punishment for desecrating the sacred stone. Since this incident, no one has dared to violently deal with the 'Black Gold Divine Stone'. ”
Demingdao walked around the stone twice, and carefully checked it up and down, but found no trace of the axe and chisel, so he asked, "Why don't I see any marks of being cut on this stone?" ”
"This is the magic of this sacred stone." Li Lei approached the divine stone, pointed to a slightly white place on the stone and said: "Look here, the axe was chiseled here that day, but the next day there was only some whitening here, and there was no trace of any knife chopping and axe chisel at all." That year, the old village chief of our village took the lead, and all the villagers collectively reported to their superiors, and invited a group of experts to investigate this 'black gold god stone', but the experts used various methods, and the result was: This is a stone with no signs of life, and we are blamed for making a fuss. ”
"Speaking of the experts, did they really witness you sleepwalking?" Mu Xiaodie asked gossipingly.
"That's another rumor." Li Leidao shook his head with a smile and said, "It should be said that the people in our whole village and the experts of those investigation teams are all dancing. The whole process was recorded by a video recorder that was working 24 hours a day at the time. ”
"At twelve o'clock in the evening in our Black Rock Village, everyone will naturally go to bed unnaturally, whether they are awake or not, without exception. During the time we slept, we would sleepwalk every night, and even outsiders who had never sleepwalked before would join the ranks of sleepwalking after staying in our village, a phenomenon that has lasted for thousands of years since it was discovered, without exception. ”
After listening to Li Lei's explanation, everyone became more curious about the vision here.
"So, this regular fall asleep and sleepwalking situation only appeared after this stone appeared?" Demingdao continued to ask.
"This is what our ancestors wrote. We didn't believe it before, but since we have that video recording, we have all believed it. Li Lei nodded in confirmation.
"Then what did you just say about keeping it on your behalf?" Demingdao asked a crucial question.
"To put it simply, not long after this divine stone appeared in our village, a Taoist came to the village. After carefully observing this sacred stone, he summoned all the people in the village and said, 'This stone is a meritorious thing sent down from heaven, and it is really the favor of heaven to fall here, and you and other contemporaries are guarding it, waiting for the chosen one to take it.' Abide by, then all generations are blessed with the same and live a long life; If you are greedy, you will be punished by heaven, although your life will not end, you will be like a walking corpse all day long. And the reality is just as the Taoist said, since the appearance of the Divine Stone, the men, women and children in our village are basically disease-free, and people with headaches and brain fever in other villages have improved somewhat after living in our village for three or five days. People in our village also live longer than they do elsewhere. Let's take it as an example, there are more than a dozen elderly people in our village who are over 100 years old, and the oldest is almost 110 years old. ”
This series of stories is so fantastical that everyone listens to it with fascination. Dai Mingdao didn't ask anymore, but walked around the Divine Stone twice, patted it lightly on the stone, said goodbye to Li Lei, and turned around and walked out of the "Divine Stone Palace".
Everyone also said goodbye to Li Lei and chased Deming out of the door. Li Lifei asked Deming puzzled: "Why don't you go and see if you can remove this stone if you have so much strength?" ”
"You don't have to move this stone at all." Deming said confidently: "Let's find a place to live first, and then talk about it in the evening." ”
