Lan Meizai continued: "It should be somewhere in Guizhou, some people say that he was named General Jianwei and led people to be stationed in the upper reaches of the Wujiang River, and my grandfather doesn't know the specifics." ”

Tuesday Mao said: "Then why did Ziyu build his own tomb?" ”

I said: "At that time, it was all gods and ghosts, and since Yu was the leader of the Ba people, he must have prepared his own mausoleum very early, but he must always repair it, even if he repairs a little bit today, and repairs a little tomorrow, he can't stop until Yu dies." ”

On Tuesday, Mao stuck out his tongue and said, "That's not like you're in your twenties, and you're preparing for your own future." ”

In the next few days, I went home, got my family's ancient books to the city, and began to look for things about the country of Yoro.

In the end, although Yelang Country is recorded in different ancient books, but it is only a few words, east scales and west claws, and in comparison, it is simply a bull's head is not the horse's mouth, and I simply abandoned it in a fit of anger, but from this time on, I began to be interested in Yelang Country, sometimes go to the teahouse, meet someone who knows some strange things in Guizhou and sit down to talk, I don't know much about things, but I know a lot of people in Guizhou, someone told me, you like these, you go to the dock to find those boatmen to inquire more, They often travel to and from Wujiang and know better.

I often went to the teahouse on the dock to chat with the Guizhou boatmen, but I didn't get much out of it.

It was one evening, and a man who looked like a boatman came to our restaurant, and this boatman was a boatman surnamed Li Gui, whom I had talked to a few times last month.

Li Gui found me and said excitedly: "Brother Chen, I have a message to tell you... ”

I hurriedly said, "Don't be in a hurry, Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, now it's time for dinner, let's talk upstairs while eating."

I led Li Gui upstairs, found a private room, let Lan Meizai serve a few dishes, and then asked for a pot of wine, and the two began to eat, during the banquet Li Gui said: "Last time you said you wanted to hear something strange, this time there is really one, I think it's a little interesting, so I'll come and tell you." ”

In that era of communication blockage, there was no telephone, and there was no current mobile phone, and the common people were illiterate, and everyone could often only transfer the word or speak in person, you can say that it was very inconvenient, but at that time, it was easier for people to communicate with each other face-to-face to establish friendship.

Li Gui continued: "This time it was also a coincidence, that day we went back to Guizhou, you also know that when we went up the water, the boat went slowly, and the boat walked for a day before it reached the mouth of the old crow (wa). That day, we went ashore to live in the shop, and saw a large number of people gathered around the teahouse, so we joined in the fun and listened to the other dragon gate formation, but they were talking about a thing, saying that there was a man in a big mountain in the old crow's mouth who went to dig bamboo shoots, and some dug up a strange thing. ”

I became interested and said, "What did you dig up?" ”

Li Guidao: "I dug up an ancient tomb, said it was a big coffin, and it was even more strange inside, the dead man had an iron pot lid on his skull, and there were some bones outside the coffin that did not have a coffin, they said that it might be a person who accompanied the burial." ”

I was shocked, could it be a "head burial"? This is a burial method unique to Yoro Province. Could it be that this is the place of the mysterious Ancient Kingdom of Yelang?

I chatted with Li Gui for a long time that night, and Mao also came to join in the excitement on Tuesday during the banquet, and Li Gui was going back after the meal, I gave Li Gui a big ocean, and roughly asked the location of the old crow's mouth, and Li Gui went with a thousand thanks.

Back at the restaurant, Tuesday Mao said excitedly: "Erwa, I'll see it!" We went to Guizhou for a trip, and stayed in this restaurant every day, and people were going crazy. ”

I said, "In the next few days, let's go to the stepping point first to see if there is a big tomb in the mountain." ”

On Tuesday, Mao immediately nodded and said that he would leave after the arrangements were made in the next few days.

In the evening of the next day, after dinner, Mao went to the play as usual on Tuesday, saying that he would enter the mountain in a few days, and he couldn't hear the play.

I had just socialized in the restaurant and was about to go back to the house, when suddenly a guy came running and said that a friend had come upstairs and invited me to sit down.

I went upstairs to the private room when there was no one, probably an acquaintance who had just arrived, so I went upstairs to the private room, pushed open the door, and saw only one old man in a black robe in the private room, sitting in front of the table of the Eight Immortals with a cane, and there were four or five men with green handkerchiefs wrapped in green handkerchiefs and black short shirts standing beside him, with bulging pockets around their waists, and at first glance they were characters on the rivers and lakes.

I didn't know each other, and thought I had gone to the wrong private room, so I hurriedly wanted to quit, and the old man said, "Shopkeeper Chen, please come in and talk." ”

I looked at the old man strangely and said, "Old man, are you looking for me?" ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, please take a seat." ”

I sat down confused. He asked, "Old man, what's the matter with you?" ”

The old man looked at me carefully for a long time, and his scalp was numb.

Then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Shopkeeper Chen to be young, young and promising!" ”

I couldn't figure out where the old man came from for a while, so I could only cope with waving my hand and thanking him.

The old man changed his words and said, "Some time ago, I heard that Cui Laosan of Fanjing Mountain was killed by a few small babies? ”

I was shocked when I heard this, my hands were already hanging down to my waist, and I had recently developed the habit of keeping my gun with me since the last encounter on the ship.

The old man smiled and said, "Boss Chen, don't worry, the old man is not a food grabber." Cui Laosan is a very unsuccessful person, and you can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. ”

I sat up straight and said in disbelief: "What is the matter with the old man looking for me Chen Dongliang?" ”

The old man said: "I'm here today to send money to Shopkeeper Chen." ”

I said, "I don't understand what the old man is saying." ”

The old man said: "My brother has been inquiring about the affairs of Yelang Country recently, hasn't he?" ”

I became alert and coped: "Recently, I have read some ancient books, and I think Yelang Kingdom is a bit interesting, so I occasionally go to the teahouse to ask someone." ”

The old man smiled, touched his beard and said, "The money I gave to Shopkeeper Chen is related to this Yelang country." ”

I thought to myself, is it possible that the matter of going to step on something leaked out, why is it that we have been targeted before we set off.

I said, "Old man, I don't know what you want to say, and I don't want to make this money, you've found the wrong person." ”

Seeing that I was unmoved, the old man just smiled and continued: "Brother Chen, without the help of my ghosts and eight immortals, you wouldn't have been able to dig up that big tomb at all.

"Eight Immortals!" This old man turned out to be the most legendary ground mouse and ghost eight immortals in the Wuling Mountains? Legend has it that this person is proficient in feng shui secret arts, and the dragon is a master who is not born in the world, but the ghost eight immortals are not to show people feng shui, but to dig graves by virtue of this feng shui secret art, and it is said that many ancient tombs in Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou are said to be made by him. How can a master like him still look for a little shrimp like me? But now that he has found you, the number of courtesies is still indispensable.

I got up and arched my hand at the old man and said, "Old man, blame me for not knowing Mount Tai with my eyes." Today, the juniors are the east, and the seniors are invited to give advice. ”

The ghost eight immortals squinted their little eyes and said, "Xiaowa, I'm not here to eat and drink today, I'm here to ask you for help." ”

I was even more bottomless in my heart, and said: "Old man, if you look at feng shui, I, Chen Erwa, should also call you senior, what can I do for you?" ”

The Eight Immortals smiled and said: "Fine baby, this dragon and sand, watching the water points, looking at the qi and water, and identifying the earth and stones, your baby must be a little bit hot, but your Tima faction also has your uniqueness, your set of things first came from the Chu State, especially the astrological this piece is very different from the Central Plains Feng Shui." I have to ask you to come out this time. ”

That's when I realized why characters like the Eight Immortals still came to me. I asked, "Why did you find me because I'm not the only one in Tima?"

The Eight Immortals said: "You are not the only one who can get out of the ecstasy, but you are the only one who can get out of the ecstasy." ”

I finally figured out the situation, and said that the old man had heard about it for a long time.

I said, "The old man is saying that the tomb of this Yelang country is related to Tima?" ”

Ghost Eight Immortals said: "We have traveled all over the southwestern provinces over the years, to tell the truth, this Yelang country has not really touched anything, the old man later found a pair of bamboo slips in a Han tomb in Hunan, recorded a paragraph about the difference between the tombs of Yelang Kingdom and the tombs of the Central Plains to know the reason." A few days ago, someone on the crow's mouth unintentionally dug up a coffin, the burial method of the corpse inside is particularly similar to the burial method of Yelang country, it just so happens that the place where the old man has seen the bamboo slip record is not far from that place, I think there must be a tomb of General Yelang in that area. That's why I came to ask Brother Chen for help. ”
