"Are you two here for a tour or a treasure hunt?"

The old man looked at the two of them for a moment, and then asked without hesitation.

"Hehe, grandpa, we are here to travel, I don't know what famous attractions there are in this Qilang Mountain?"

When the old man heard Liu Ming's words, he smiled and said, "You learned to lie at a young age, and you will have it when you grow up?" Go back, there is no treasure in this Qilang Mountain, I have lived here for more than 80 years, and the people who came to hunt for treasures have searched the entire Qilang Mountain, but the hair has not been fished! ”

Listening to the old man's words, Liu Ming was not a little ashamed, but stepped forward and continued to talk: "Grandpa, since you have lived here for so long, you must be very, very familiar with this place, right?" Why don't I ask you to be our guide and take us around the mountain? ”

Seeing that Liu Ming still didn't mention the treasure hunt, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Little slippery head, I said that there is no treasure here at all, because there is not even an ancient tomb here, the treasure you brought here?" You have all been deceived by the name of Qilang Mountain, and Yang Qilang's grave is not here at all! ”

The old man's words made Si Nuo and Liu Ming stunned, and then Liu Ming immediately asked again: "How do you know that you are not here?" Have you ever been to Yang Qilang's cemetery? ”

"Hmph, you kid is playing tricks on me again, but it doesn't hurt to tell you, because it's not a secret at all.

Do you see the village in front of you? That place is called Panzhuang, and the river next to this village is called Yongding River, the Qilang Mountain you are looking for is in the bend of the river two kilometers downstream of this Yongding River, but there is a high and uplifted mound, although there is a stone tablet with the words "Yang Qilang Tomb" under the mound, but it is not the real Yang Qilang Tomb.

Qilang Mountain is also known as Lingtai Mountain. According to legend, in the third year of Yongxi in the Northern Song Dynasty (986), the Khitan Liao Emperor was young (16 years old), Empress Dowager Xiao was regent, and Taizong Zhao Guangyi wanted to take the opportunity to recover the lost land. In the first month, Song Taizong ordered to divide troops from Shanxi and Hebei to attack from the east, middle and west, which is known as the "Yongxi Northern Expedition" in history. Among them, the western route was commanded by Pan Mei (Pan Renmei) and Yang Ye (Yang Jiye), and advanced eastward out of Yanmen Pass. At the beginning, the three armies won every day, especially the troops led by Yang Ye were invincible, and successively recovered Yunzhou, Yingzhou, Shuozhou and other places. By May, however, the other two armies had been defeated and retreated. The Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State and Yeluxian led an army of more than 100,000 troops to arrive at Yanmen Pass. In August, Pan Renmei, the commander of the Western Route Army, rejected Yang Ye's reasonable strategy and forced Yang Ye to take the old and weak soldiers deep into the Liao army, but Pan Mei fled. The father and son of the Yang family were besieged in Chenjiagu because they were outnumbered, and sent Qilang back to Daizhou to move troops.

Yang Qilang fought bloodily and broke out of the encirclement, and finally found coach Pan Renmei. However, because Qilang once slashed Pan Renmei's son Pan Leopard because of a martial arts competition, Pan Mei had a grudge for a long time, so she used a trick to get Shichiro drunk, tied him to a pepper tree in the backyard, and asked the archers to shoot Qilang with arrows. The arrow flew by Shichiro's side, and Pan Renmei knew that Shichiro could "look at the arrow", so he ordered his subordinates to cut off Shichiro's forehead and cover his eyes, and Shichiro was shot with 108 arrows and died with hatred. After Shichiro died, he gave his father a dream and told him how he went to Pan Renmei for help and was killed. After Lao Linggong woke up from his dream, he felt that there was no hope for rescue, and he was wounded and captured in a hard fight, and died of tragedy after three days of hunger strike.

It is said that Pan Renmei, after killing Yang Qilang, in order to eliminate the traces of the corpse, he sent the family to secretly throw Qilang's body into the river at night. On that day, the body of the strong man floated away along the water, and the insider could not bear to see the blood of the strong man in broad daylight, so he secretly grabbed a handful of soil, and I grabbed a handful of soil and covered it with the blood spilled by the strong man. It's strange to say that soon a big mound gradually rose here, like a small hill, and this became Qilang Mountain, so Qilang Mountain is just a mound spontaneously piled up by the people, and it is not Yang Qilang's tomb at all.

However, after Shichiro was killed, his spirit did not disperse, and he went to the Yama Hall to sue Pan Renmei. Yan Luojun also felt that Shichiro had died too unjustly, and reported the matter to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor decreed that the soul of Qilang was given to the soul of Qilang as the Qilang Divine Monarch, and the incense could be enjoyed among the people. Later, people built a temple next to Shichiro Mountain to worship Shichiro Shinju.

For many years, most of the nearby Zhuang households worship the shrine of Shichiro, and the villagers often go there to burn a few knives of paper money, take a handful of incense ash and drink it, in order to eliminate disasters and diseases. The people here believe that Shichiro is good and can solve disasters. During the festival, people also offer wine, sweets and fruits.

According to legend, the deity of Shichiro Shin-kun often appears and has great magical powers. He responded to people's needs to eliminate disasters and solve problems, and people from all over the world came to ask for medicine in an endless stream. Because Qilang Mountain is located in the center of the Puji River, in order to prevent the water from washing, the local people use a lot of large stones nearly two zhang long to build the slope around Qilang Mountain. In the past, the Qilihai Sea was often flooded, and the water rose high and the mountains were high, no matter how fierce the flood was and how high the water level was, it never submerged the Qilang Mountain. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he shook his head, then sighed and continued: "But in recent years, I don't know who has spread the news, saying that there are heavy treasures buried under Qilang Mountain, so there will be treasure hunters coming to hunt for treasures after a while, but in the end, they all return empty-handed, and they can't get a single fart!" Since you're here to hunt for treasure, you can go shopping on your own and see the nearby scenery, and it's not in vain! ”

After speaking, the old man no longer paid attention to Liu Ming and the others, and walked towards the village in front of him alone!

Liu Ming thanked the old man, but the old man just shook his hand, signaling that Liu Ming didn't have to be polite, and then disappeared from the sight of the two!

Liu Ming and Si Nuo glanced at each other, and decided to go to Qilang Mountain to take a look, nothing can come out of nowhere, since Qilang told Liu Ming to find his address before dissipating, then there must be a medium to summon Qilang's soul general in Qilang Mountain!

Si Nuo picked up Liu Ming from the new, and went down the river along the bank of the Yongding River, and sure enough, as the old man said, he really saw the stone tablet of "Yang Qilang's Tomb" at a distance of about two kilometers, and the mound above the stone tablet was half a mountain high, and it was covered with sour jujube shrubs, if it weren't for the stone tablet under the mound, the two would not believe that this was Qilang Mountain.

"Boss, you see someone is here again!"

Just when Liu Ming and Si Nuo were looking up and down at the stone tablet of "Yang Qilang's Tomb", a sudden sound above the stone tablet startled the two.

Then five or six young people immediately jumped down from the mound and surrounded Liu Ming and Sinuo.

"Who are you? But the treasure hunt? ”

Five or six young people looked Si Nuo and Liu Ming up and down, and then their eyes were focused on Si Nuo.

Feeling the lewd gazes of several people, Si Nuo couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but on the surface, he said with a kind face: "According to legend, there is a strange treasure in this place, and of course the two of us are here for the treasure. ”

"Hahaha, so are we, I see that the two of you are weak, why don't you join our team? When we find the treasure, let's divide it equally! ”

"Humph! No, thank you for your kindness, the two of us are here to try our luck, and the other is to come to see the scenery, everything is fate, not forced! Feeling the ill-intentioned gaze of these young people, Liu Ming suddenly became jealous, he actually dared to look at my woman, if it weren't for the soul being sealed, the fight would have started a long time ago!

And hearing that Liu Ming actually refused, several young people didn't care, just smiled crookedly, and said in a weird manner: "Since this is the case, we are not strong, but this area has been occupied by several waves of people, and they are not as easy to talk as we are, so you better be careful and say goodbye!" ”

Saying that, these people turned around and left happily, and did not entangle the two too much, which made Liu Ming have an extra heart, and Si Nuo looked at Liu Ming worriedly and said: "It seems that we will not be lonely this time, do you want to go back and wait for my news first?" I'm here alone to find out? ”

"No, Shichiro is my original soul general, and I believe he will guide me to his medium, so I must stay here."

"Okay, let's be careful, if you find that the situation is not good, you must leave immediately!"

Looking at Si Nuo's concerned eyes, Liu Ming could only nod, and then the two continued to look for clues nearby.
