Chapter VI: The Holy Land
[Continuing from the above, the last book mentioned that when Mu Qingming and Mo Han chatted, they talked about the birth of the mirror demon and their own suspicions, and told his wife why he deliberately reminded his disciples to avoid Xishan and the west bank of Dianchi Lake. And after Zhang Xiaosheng and Miaobi returned the bronze mirror on the coffin lid, they returned to the city to find the source of the mirror demon. But Zhang Xiaosheng brought the wonderful pen to a paper shop in Taihe Shop. It turned out that it was actually a reselling shop for antique relics. After drawing Zhang Xiaosheng out and asking about the source and whereabouts of the mirror demon, he left the paper shop with the wonderful pen. And the yellow-clothed cultists of the Immortal Dao also rushed to the Taiyue Mountains in a few days, and after searching for a few days in the mountains, the yellow-clothed cultists finally found the abandoned holy land of the Suolong people. γ
Miaobi looked around at the gloomy paper shop. The sunlight could only reach a foot or so behind the open gate, and it could not advance even a minute or a half.
In the paper shop shrouded in shadows, the paper people and paper horses are full of paper people and paper horses, although they look different at the time, but they are all heavy makeup, adding a lot of mysterious and slightly weird colors under the shadows.
Every paper man and paper horse is lifeless. But his eyes are full of life, and because of this, there is a mysterious and strange aura in the shadows.
It can even make people panic.
But Miaobi hasn't seen anything, and as a dragon locker, he has seen a lot of demons and monsters, and he doesn't feel scared of these paper people at all. It's just that he is curious, why is there a strong resentment in the yin qi here?
When Zhang Xiaosheng greeted and greeted Boss Cha with kind eyebrows, Miaobi thought about it for a while, and after thinking about it secretly, he thought: "This may be evidence that the mirror demon once appeared here." βγ
Thinking of this, I was also a little relieved.
After all, the wisps of resentment he sensed that permeated the store were nothing special.
As for the yin qi in the paper shop, there is no need to delve into it. This kind of place ushers in most of the filial sons and grandsons who want to do Bai Xi at home, and there is nothing to make a fuss about when the yin qi is heavy.
Miaobi withdrew his gaze and looked at the boss Cha, listening carefully to the conversation between him and Zhang Xiaosheng. He saw a trace of imperceptible cunning between the whitening eyebrows of the boss Cha, presumably this boss Cha is only afraid that his surname is not really Cha.
With this in mind, Miaobi secretly noted down the location of this place. After dealing with Changshengdao, he planned to tell Zhao Liang everything about Boss Cha.
This kind of thief who resells national treasures to foreigners should not be managed by the dragon lockers, but this kind of person is the kind of person that Miaobi hates more. He couldn't teach the other party a lesson because of the family rules, but Zhao Liang could. Miaobi would love to see the day when Boss Cha was unlucky, but not now.
"Who did you sell to?" At this time, Zhang Xiaosheng had already asked Boss Cha urgently, and his eager eyes to get the answer were also fixed on Boss Cha.
"A man who sells mirrors in the city, he said that the store recently needed a few mirrors from the past to decorate the faΓ§ade." After Boss Cha put away the yuan silver in his hand, he stretched out his hand to Zhang Xiaosheng without hesitation: "Address, it's not enough money." βγ
After that, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Zhang Xiaosheng was about to take out the money, when he stepped forward, the wonderful pen standing side by side with him grabbed the hand that he was already planning to untie the purse.
"Boss Cha, don't worry, I have the money, but you have to tell me, how did this mirror come from?" With a slight smile, he took out a silver ingot from his arms.
The silver ingot in his hand made the boss's eyes straight.
The white ingots are often slightly curled up at both ends, so that they are upturned upwards in the shape of a boat, and the whole silver ingot is horseshoe-shaped. This glittering silver ingot is the horseshoe silver of the previous dynasty. One is enough for fifty taels.
Such a large piece of silver ingot can be exchanged for seventy oceans. According to the current price of Spring City, Boss Cha knows that the silver ingot in Miaobi's hand can probably buy 700 catties of pork.
If you buy live pigs, you can buy two. That's not a small amount.
Just when Boss Cha looked at it more and more, and was about to reach out to get the silver ingot, the magic pen shrank his hand, making Boss Cha pounce, his face was embarrassed, and he coughed a few times after retracting his hand, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face.
"Don't worry, check the boss." Miaobi smiled undiminishedly, and said unhurriedly: "As long as you tell me how the mirror came about?" Where did it go? The money is yours. βγ
Boss Cha in the shadow couldn't laugh, and after his face sank, he asked vigilantly: "This friend of the face, do you like the ancient mirror?" βγ
Miaobi still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't think much about it after thinking about it, so he replied: "No, my father likes to collect this kind of thing." βγ
As soon as these words came out, Boss Cha laughed again.
If he checked the boss, he couldn't hear any clues. The face, which was full of iron blue and vigilant looks before, reappeared with kind eyebrows and an amiable smile.
"Actually, there is no origin, I don't know who discarded it in the alley behind my shop, and I picked it up when I got up in the middle of the night and went to the thatched house." Boss Cha, who rubbed his hands, said with a smile: "Anyway, I picked it up, and it didn't cost anything, so I wanted to keep it for myself." Later, the owner of the dressing shop in the north of the city, Boss Chen, came and paid a lot of money, anyway, I didn't need to make up, so I simply sold it to Boss Chen. βγ
As he spoke, he was reluctant to take his eyes off the silver ingot.
"Where is Boss Chen's shop?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked first.
"Near the North Gate, Chen Ji." Boss Cha smiled, raised his eyes and glanced at the magic pen, pointed at the silver ingot and asked, "You can give it to me now." βγ
"Well, it's yours." Miaobi handed the silver ingot to Boss Cha, took Zhang Xiaosheng and left.
Out of the paper shop, the two squeezed into the lively crowd, bathed in the bright sunshine, and their bodies warmed a lot.
"Uncle Shi, why are you so rich?" Curious, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh: "You don't blink your eyes for fifty taels of silver, you are really rich and willful." βγ
"That's not true, it's just a trick for me to check the paper ingots in the boss's store." The wonderful pen that laughed but did not say a word, and secretly told Zhang Xiaosheng about the silver ingot with his thoughts: "In less than a moment or three, the silver ingot will return to its original shape." β......
Taiyue Mountain, a mountain range located in Shanxi, takes its name from its main vein, Huo Mountain. "Notes on the Book of Water" records: "Taiyue Mountain, that is, Huo Taishan." Huoshan is one of the mountains of the five towns in the sequence of famous mountains that were once as famous as the five mountains, and it was also named the mountain of the middle town. This mountain is the earliest, and it is also called "Huo Taishan".
The main vein spreads in a north-south direction, starting from Jiexiu in the north and reaching Hongdong in the south, extending for about 100 miles. It is connected to Pingyao and the mountains in the southeast of Taigu in the north, although the direction turns north and east, it can be connected as a whole, and the northeast is connected with the Taihang Mountains; To the south, it extends intermittently to the north of Qinshui County with low gentle mountains, and connects with Zhongtiao Mountain.
In this way, the feng shui pattern of Huitoulong has been formed, which can be regarded as a treasure land of feng shui in the upper layer.
And the main peak at a glance, the supreme is high, the mountains arch and embrace, it is very magnificent, there is the tendency of the stars holding the moon.
Under the perennial vegetation cover, the main peak is also verdant. The vegetation is flourishing among the mountains and rocks, and the towering trees stand in it. In the middle of it, it is difficult to discern the direction under the shade of the trees.
Ten days ago, the old man in yellow who left the Immortal Dao in Yunnan rushed here. He was not good at using too many evil arts other than medical skills, and it took him three days to reach the Taiyue Mountains from central Yunnan.
He slept in the mountains for ten days, constantly looking for traces of the abandoned and abandoned holy land of the Dragon Lockers.
It is said that this holy place was destroyed when the dragon lockers were ordered to be executed by Xia Qi. Since then, no one has ever set foot in that holy place. Since then, all traces have disappeared in the long river of time with the loss of time.
In the future, the old man in yellow probably knows something. The dragon lockers split into major families, and to this day, there are still eight major families left.
But they never came to this holy place again.
The ruins should be hidden in the vast forests of the Taiyue Mountains.
But the yellow-clothed cultists searched for ten days, and in addition to the mountain springs and rocks, they were lush shrubs, and old trees that had lived for an unknown number of years and had intertwined roots.
The beast also encountered quite a few.
For the old man in yellow who is not very experienced in combat, this is the most headache.
After several life-and-death battles with wild beasts, his robes were already tattered and bloodstained.
If it weren't for the miraculous medicine he configured, the old man would have died tragically under those fierce beasts and sharp claws.
However, it is gratifying that the old man's efforts were finally reported early this morning.
The old man in yellow, who had slept on the tree all night, slowly woke up after a long time after dawn. Through the brighter and brighter sunlight, he saw a headless stone statue in the grass not far from the tree. It was a stone statue carved out of turquoise, almost blending in with the surrounding greenery.
If it weren't for the fact that the old man had lit a bonfire under the tree at night in order to avoid the wild beasts, and then climbed the tree to rest, it would have been really difficult to see this stone statue standing alone among the grass and trees.
It was a stone statue of a pig standing upright, and the head that was originally around his neck was gone.
In the deserted mountains and forests, it is not reasonable for such a stone statue to appear, but the old man on the tree suddenly came to his senses at first sight.
He knew he must have found the Holy Land.
Ignoring the other old men, he hurriedly climbed down from the tree, looked left and right to recognize the direction, and then stepped over the bonfire that had long been extinguished, and walked towards the stone statue.
The bushes were so dense that the old man had to move forward while picking up the branches and leaves that stood in his way with his hands. After a while, he could already faintly see the severed stone statue and the empty neck.
The old man in yellow burst out of joy, but his feet were empty, and the whole person fell into the ground. When he came to his senses, he found himself underground, in a tunnel that was slowly sliding down and deeper.
The tunnel is about three or five feet so far, and it is round. On both sides and on the walls of the cave above, there are many vines of all kinds. Only the wall of the hole under the old man's buttocks was very smooth. At a glance, you can see that someone deliberately excavated it.
There were also some panicked old men, who reached out and grabbed in confusion, trying to grab the sturdy vines on both sides, but repeatedly missed.
It wasn't until a long time later that the old man grabbed a few vines. But it was still taken out by inertia.
When he stopped, his feet were dangling in the darkness outside the tunnel. The old man's night eyes, which could see things in the dark, immediately saw that he was already sitting on the edge of the end of the tunnel. In front of him was a few feet above the ground.
After cautiously looking down, he vaguely saw a few zhang below, on the ground of the huge cave, there were sharp stalagmites, each one more than a zhang high.
Like a gun, like a sword.
Among the stalagmites, countless dilapidated buildings stand in between.
