Chapter 1: Wuyun Mountain
Wuyun Mountain, located at the junction of Yunnan-Guizhou Province and 100,000 mountains, the mountains are extremely high, stretching for thousands of miles, and there are many strange peaks. The mountains are covered with clouds and mist all year round.
There is very little rain in the mountains, and thunderstorms are even rarer, and the next thunderstorm occurs only for decades. However, the mountains and forests here are very abundant, and waterfalls and streams can be seen everywhere.
Due to the humidity of the mountain, the trees in the mountain are unusually dense, the forest is thick, and there are countless mosquitoes and poisons.
In the early years, there were mountain people who cultivated at the foot of the mountain, and the medicine collectors would go deep into the middle of the mountains and forests to collect mosquitoes and insect poisons and sell them to the medicine shops for money. However, there are few people in the depths of the mountains and forests, first, because the poison in the depths of the mountains and forests is extremely fierce, and secondly, it is said that there are ghosts and ghosts living in the depths of the mountains and forests.
Poisons are naturally not suspected, but ghosts and ghosts are not. In the past, there were bold mountain people who ventured in, but there was no return, and even when they went into the mountains to find people, they entered but did not leave. And after seven days, a painful howl could be heard from the depths of the forest. The howl is not loud, but it can be heard clearly by the mountain people for thousands of miles, as if the voice is shouting in their ears, which is terrifying.
In recent years, mountain people have moved to the city or the neighboring relatively prosperous towns, and Wuyun Mountain is even more cold and secret. But the scenery here is beautiful, the ecology is primitive, and in recent years, there are so-called "travelers" who often come to play.
It's also strange to say, before and after~ more than a dozen waves of people went in, but they all came out safely.
………………
Cheng Yifan is an employee of a small company, and his work has been mediocre in recent years, working from 9 to 5 every day, which is also comfortable. It's just that he doesn't like this kind of life, he is depressed every day, like a rounded awl, and he can't see a little passion of young people.
Half a year ago, he suddenly got a strange disease, drowsy every day, wheezing and fatigue, not only could not lift his spirits, but also often fell into a coma. I looked at several big hospitals, but I didn't see a reason; Later, I found a Chinese medicine doctor, and the Chinese medicine doctor said that his qi and blood were not smooth, and he could not improve after recuperating for a long time; Later, he went to the psychiatrist, and the doctor said that he had "depression". In desperation, he could only quit his job and return to his coastal hometown "Yancheng" to recuperate.
On this day, when the sun was rising, Cheng Father came back from farming, looked at Cheng Yifan lying on the bed, shook his head helplessly, and shouted: "Yifan, it's time to get up." ”
Cheng Yifan got up weakly and touched the head of the bed for a while before touching the black-framed glasses with three-centimeter-thick lenses.
"You go to the ancestral house in a while, and the comrades from the demolition office will come down tomorrow." Father Cheng put down the hoe in his hand and said.
"Oh!" Cheng Yifan responded weakly.
Father Cheng looked at his weak body, sighed silently, and added: "Heavy things, I have moved away, but there are some books in the small side room next door to the ancestral hall, which were left behind when you were studying. I was also illiterate, I didn't know what worked and what didn't, so I didn't dare to move. ”
"Hmm!" Cheng Yifan responded.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls of food casually, Cheng Yifan went to the ancestral house. This is a dilapidated house, with two bedrooms and three houses, plus a side house. The side room is only the size of a toilet, and when I go to school, my father treats it as a waste library, and all the books that I don't use are stuffed here.
There are not many books in the side room, most of them are textbooks and magazines, and then there are tutorial books. After Cheng Yifan flipped through it a few times, he chose a few reading notes and was ready to leave.
"It's such a big hole, this rat is also very hungry, otherwise how could he dig a hole in this broken library." Cheng Yifan looked at a big hole in the corner of the wall and said darkly.
"Fortunately, it will be demolished tomorrow, and I don't know when a dilapidated house like this will collapse. Let's hurry up, maybe it will collapse in a while. "Cheng Yifan absolutely believes that this house will collapse, that is his life, good and bad spirits, good luck he has never caught up with once, but bad luck has his share every time.
Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a few pages inside the cave, "Could it be my diary that I lost for a long time?" He turned around and reached out and fished it out.
"It's really that diary, no wonder I haven't been able to find it, it turned out that it was used by a mouse to make a nest, if I hadn't removed the pile of books just now, I really couldn't have found it." Cheng Yifan secretly rejoiced.
"Hey! Where did you get such a shabby piece of paper? Although Gu Long is not small, he can only put down one of Cheng Yifan's hands, and he can't see the situation in Gu Long clearly, Cheng Yifan can only scratch it indiscriminately, but he doesn't know when he grabbed an extra piece of worn-out paper out.
There seems to be a word on it, and it is also in traditional Chinese: "If it is picked up by future generations, it is the will of heaven, and I hope to send its relics back to its original place to atone for the sins I have committed. ”
"Chengyuan, who is Chengyuan? Didn't my ancestors all read? "Cheng Yifan is a person who loves to find the roots. How can I not be impressed to find such a thing in my ancestral home?
"Maybe there will be treasures left by our ancestors?" Cheng Yifan was whimsical, and then stretched out his hand into the cave and swept it again. Unexpectedly, he actually grabbed a bag of things. The outside of this package is wrapped in oiled paper, probably too old, some of the oiled paper has been torn, and the torn yellow paper just now is probably ripped out from here.
Cheng Yifan was excited, and carefully dismantled layer by layer. After a long time, he finally opened the bag. To his disappointment, there was nothing in the bag, except for a few sheets of torn paper of the same material as before. The torn paper was densely covered with words, and it looked like a letter. It's just that it's old, and the handwriting is a little blurred.
Cheng Yifan spread out the paper, guessed and thought, and read it with difficulty.
My name is Chengyuan, I was a poor scholar, in the thirty years, that is, in the 25th year of Kangxi, I passed the township test and won the show. Later, after being introduced by the matchmaker, he married a woman surnamed Hong. He was married for ten years, and had no children.
One night in the 35th year of Kangxi, he suddenly heard a baby crying in the courtyard outside the door. I dared to go out, and sure enough, I found a baby boy in the courtyard, the baby boy was outstanding, very cute, but there was a black gas flashing between his eyebrows.
The baby boy's robe contains a cowhide map, tied with a red rope and a black bead.
In the midst of the blue, the baby boy had ten ingots of gold at his feet, and a letter.
The letter said: "I want to serve this baby as my own flesh and blood, and raise it well." After 25 years, I will hand over the cowhide map to the baby boy, and if I don't do it, my whole family will be destroyed.
I had no children, but I was overjoyed to have a baby boy and a treasure. My wife is too glad to be overjoyed.
Later, we named the baby boy Tianci, and succeeded me with the surname Xianghuo.
Twenty-five years passed quickly, and I was in my sixties, and my days were short. Although the baby boy was stupid, he was very filial. I couldn't bear to leave me, so I became greedy. That night, I threw the leather drawings into the fire, intending to burn them and move away. Unexpectedly, a fire didn't burn the drawings, but it burned my house to the ground.
At the time, I thought that it would be a good thing to burn it down, just enough to move out. Once we settled into our new home, we moved in quickly. That day I found that the cowhide had somehow reappeared in my house, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly threw it into the river. Unexpectedly, the next day, my wife accidentally drowned while washing clothes in the river at the entrance of the village. When he fished it up, he was dragging the cowhide picture in his hand.
I was terrified, almost insane, and wanted to tell the truth. Unexpectedly, that day, a fortune teller suddenly came to the village.
The great immortal seemed to have calculated what was happening in my family, and asked me about it. When I was impatient, I told him all about it and begged him to help.
Daxian said that the black Buddha beads on the cowhide diagram are called "reincarnation beads", which are great evil things, spiritual, and heavy tears, and need to be suppressed with shameful things. So I buried it under my own pit. It's just that Daxian also said that this thing is connected to the heaven-given bloodline, and if I suppress it, it is equivalent to suppressing the heaven-sent bloodline. His descendants will be stupid, deaf, illiterate, and even if they can read a book, they will be unlucky and depressed and crazy.
In fact, in the next few years, Tianci became more and more stupid, although he was very diligent but always unwilling, and he was even more famous in the examination room. After his family wealth was exhausted, in order to survive, he also gave up his books and went to farming.
"When I was dying, I knew that I had sinned deeply, but I didn't want to destroy this stability, so I hid everything I had done here. If it is picked up by future generations, it is the will of heaven, and I hope that my relics can be returned to their original places to atone for the sins I have committed. Cheng Yifan finally connected the last sentence smoothly.
"Cowhide drawings!" After Cheng Yifan digested it for half a moment, he began to dig holes. I don't know if it's because this was a pit before, this cave is unusually soft and brittle, and Cheng Yifan dug up the cowhide blueprint in less than ten minutes.
There is indeed a black bead tied to the top of the drawing, worn with a red rope, as written in the letter. Cheng Yifan carefully untied the rope, and when it touched the Buddha bead, his body was stunned. He felt a strange cool air flowing through the beads. His weak, tired body seemed to be charged, full of strength. His spirits were much better, and even his breathing was much smoother.
The drawing depicts a large area of mountains, one of which is particularly high, and the words "Wuyun Mountain" are also marked. And then there's the paragraphs. Those words are very small, and Cheng Yifan is basically unable to read clearly, as if he is telling a certain story. There are many cities in the mountains, and the buildings are not much different, and there are some text marks, as if they are what house, what hall, the same words, such as the word "Wu", and like the word "medicine".
Cheng Yifan was fascinated by it, and for a moment he forgot that this dangerous wall was about to collapse under his digging just now.
There was a loud bang, and Cheng Yifan's eyes were dark, and he fainted.
