It was a marble archway more than three meters high, and it looked old. The pillars at both ends of the stele are just stuck on both sides of the road, and the inner end is directly attached to the mountain wall, and the outer end is deeply embedded in a boulder on the edge of the cliff, which is carved with three traditional characters of 'Fengyang Town'.

The road to this place is a winding road that clings to the mountainside, with a tall cliff that cannot be climbed on one side and a huge bottomless river valley on the other, and the sound of water flowing can be faintly heard below. In this way, this door number in Fengyang Town is extremely dangerous, because whether you enter or leave the town, you must pass through this stone gate.

The sky was gray, and as evening approached, fog rose from the humid mountain forest, making the environment extremely gloomy.

Passing through the monument, we officially entered the boundary of Fengyang Town, the car drove forward for another kilometer, and after turning the last sharp bend, the winding mountain road finally came to an end. The field of vision in front of us suddenly became broader, only to see that below us, there was a vast basin shaped like a phoenix's eye, a large river crossed out, some houses were sparsely lined on both sides of the river, and the east side of the basin was the place with the most buildings, but there were only more than 100 houses, and there were some scattered houses in the rest of the place, but they could add up to only dozens of households, which was really less.

"This is Fengyang Town?" I looked at the Taoist priest in disbelief, and said in my heart that this is too much, not like a town, but like a village.

The Taoist priest nodded and said Don't underestimate here, there are fewer people in Fengyang Town, but there are treasures here.

"Baby, what baby?" The words of the Taoist priest aroused my curiosity, I had also checked the information of Fengyang from the Internet before, and I had not heard of any special products here?

The Taoist priest smiled, pulled a pendant from the collar and shook it in front of me, and I immediately exclaimed: "Ah! Gold? ”

"Yes, it's gold, but it's not gold, it's sand gold!"

I swallowed, it was unbelievable. Shajin, also a kind of gold, is produced at the bottom of the river or in low-lying areas, mixed with sand and gravel, and after washing to remove the sand and retain gold, it becomes sand gold.

Sand gold originated from the mine, is the gold ore exposed to the ground after a long period of wind and rain, the rock weathering and cracking, the gold will be separated from the veins along with the sediment mixed into the river, through the flow of water to naturally precipitate in the stone sand, in the bottom of the river to form a gold-bearing layer. Because this kind of gold sand particles are different in size, the big ones are as big as broad beans, and the small ones are like fine sand, with different shapes and a large number of impurities, so they are called sand gold.

Several major rivers in the Hengduan Mountains, the Jinsha River, the Lancang River, and the Nu River, all contain a large amount of sand gold, among which the Jinsha River is the most famous. I believe many people have heard of the gold rush in the Jinsha River Basin, and there are many examples of gold rush in the yellow sand and getting rich overnight.

If there is really a source of gold sand in Aji Village, it will really be sleeping on the golden mountain, and nothing will be changed.

The Taoist priest was surprised when he saw me, and smiled: "I know this matter, I know that they are all of a unified voice to the outside world, and outsiders don't know about Jinsha at all." ”

"And how do you know?" I asked him. I saw him smile mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, by the way, you can keep your mouth tight when you enter the town, they are very taboo about this matter!" ”

I was a little upset when I saw that he was still selling guanzi, but I didn't bother to ask again, and I had already gotten off the winding mountain road and entered the town.

By this time, the fog was thicker, the sky was darker, and after the car drove over a stone bridge five or six meters wide, houses could already be seen around.

The strange thing is that at this time, it is the meal, and it is said that there will be some cooking smoke, but now these houses are all closed doors and windows, not to mention the cooking smoke, even the figure can not see half of it, let alone hear the slightest sound, and the silence is a little strange.

I stopped the car and said to them in a low voice, "Do you think there's something wrong here?" ”

"yes, there's no one in the gloomy world, it's so early that everyone in the town can't go to bed, right?" Lin Qiao'er tightened her little windbreaker and rubbed her hands, as if she felt the cold.

I nodded, turned to the Taoist, and asked, "Did you do the same last time you came?" ”

"How is it possible, the last time Dao Ye came to their town, they specially asked someone to pick him up, and arranged a beautiful driver girl for me, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this place."

The Taoist priest leaned over the window to look around, I asked him what he was looking at, and he told me not to disturb him, saying that he was recalling the route, maybe we could go directly to the mayor's house, and the mayor of the dog day still owed him 20,000 yuan!

I said that since he knew the mayor, maybe he could solve our accommodation problem by the way.

Following the instructions of the Taoist priest, I started the car and continued towards the center of the town. As it got late, the fog thickened, and only the silhouettes of the surrounding buildings could be faintly seen. The Taoist priest had only been here once, and he was busy picking up his female driver at the time, and he didn't remember the road much, and now that the fog is so big, he has no rut.

After slowly driving along the street several times, the car suddenly turned off, and I realized that the fuel gauge had reached the bottom. Seeing that it was getting dark, he decided to ask the family first.

I was about to go down, but the Taoist priest stopped me and said that he should go! I thought to myself that this guy had only been in Aji Village for less than two days, and he had been messing with the girls in the village as if he had been friends for more than ten years, and it might be better to let him go, so I nodded and agreed, telling him to pay attention to safety.

After the Taoist priest got out of the car, he walked straight to a two-story house on our left, and honestly slapped it on the door, which made me twitch in the face, and suddenly felt that it might be a mistake to let him go.

Dangdang! A hurried knock sounded, accompanied by the somewhat obscene voice of the Taoist priest: "Is there anyone?" Poor Dao is a wandering Taoist priest, passing by your land, it is late, I came to inquire where there is a resting inn? Feed! Anyone? ”

I pinched my forehead, I really don't know how this guy swaggered in Aji Village, as far as he asked, even if there were people in the house, I was afraid that he would be regarded as a liar.

The Taoist priest shouted very politely for a while, and when he saw that no one was birding him, he immediately revealed his true nature, scolded and scolded the ancestors of this family, and then shook his head helplessly at us.

I was about to call him back, but he pointed to the side, meaning he would go there and ask again. I looked at it and saw that the place he was pointing at was beyond what we could see, so I wanted to ask him to come back first, but I didn't expect that the rammer had already walked over and disappeared into the mist.

I cursed in my heart, but I couldn't help it, so I could only nervously move my attention in that direction.

Da, da, da!

There was a sound of Taoist priest's footsteps in the mist, and then the footsteps stopped, and then there was a knock on the door, and then the Taoist priest's unchanged way of calling.

I heard him shout twice, but there was still no response. As if he had given up, he didn't continue to shout, and then there was a sound of clattering footsteps in the fog, I thought he had touched the wall twice, he should be ready to come back, and his heart was also peaceful, but after a while, I found that it was wrong, the footsteps were not going back, but continuing to go deeper into the fog.

I was worried that something would happen to him if he walked too far, and this place gave me a very bad feeling, so I hurriedly shouted: "Why did you go inside, come back quickly, there is no one and we will spend the night in the car!" ”

After hearing my words, the Taoist priest replied: "It's okay, I'll knock two more times!" ”

As I spoke, I heard his footsteps stop, followed by a knock on the door.

Although I hated the Taoist priest's disobedience to the command, I had no choice but to wait for him to give up and come back by myself.

In this way, the footsteps and knocks of Taoist priests continued to be heard in the silent streets, but the sound grew farther and farther and more faint, and at last I could hardly hear it.

"Otherwise, go and pull him back! It's not good if something happens. Lin Qiao'er said to me with a worried face.

I nodded, told her to stay in the car and not run around, and then I was about to call back the Taoist priest, but at this moment, I heard a different sound from the depths of the fog.

It seemed to be the sound of the door opening, and then I heard the Taoist priest laughing: "Haha, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, damn it, finally have a living mouth!" ”

I was overjoyed that he had found someone and that we wouldn't have to spend the night outside! Thinking about it, I was about to go over, but at this moment, there was a heavy clatter on the iron door from the other side of the fog, and then I heard a muffled sound, as if something had fallen to the ground, and then there was no movement.

The sudden change made me stop moving, I subconsciously looked over there, I didn't know what was happening, so I asked tentatively: "What's wrong?" ”

No response, deathly silence! A bad feeling suddenly rose in my heart.

Lin Qiaoer was anxious and asked me what to do, I was also panicked, at a loss, people are the most insignificant and powerless in the face of the unknown, I told myself not to panic, don't mess up, after taking a deep breath, I asked Lin Qiaoer to bring important things and go with me to find a Taoist priest!

It's not that I'm timid, it's that I've passed, and Lin Qiao'er is the only one left here, if there is any danger, she can't deal with it as a girl; Besides, if something really attacked the Taoist priest, then it must be hostile to us, my shout just now has already revealed the location, if that thing goes around, Lin Qiao'er will be in danger.

It's better to go together, advance and retreat together, and take care of each other even if there is any danger.

I took out the electric baton I usually use for self-defense from the car, pulled up Lin Qiao'er, and slowly leaned towards the Taoist priest with a light step.

Since we didn't know exactly where the Taoist priest had suffered the accident, we could only slowly look for it along the closed houses. Soon, just as we walked out about twenty meters, Lin Qiaoer squeezed my hand and pointed ahead.

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and immediately saw a figure lying on the ground, looking at the figure, it was the Taoist priest.

My heart was tight, I cursed secretly, and said that something had happened to the dog, so I hurriedly clenched the electric baton, and leaned against the Taoist priest while being vigilant.

There was blood on his forehead, but not much, it seemed that he had been knocked on a stick, and I checked it and found that he had only fainted, and my heart was relieved, and at the same time I turned my eyes to the iron door that had been opened that the Taoist priest was facing him.
