Then the problem is that the rest of the gas gathering platforms are nowhere to be found, not to mention where the spiritual mountain with a large number of treasures recorded in the volume is located, not that my grandfather entered Qixing Mountain by exploration coincidence in 1963, this matter is estimated to have long been sealed in history. The years have changed, and some mountain names more than 2,000 years ago have changed many times, or Ge Zhang and Yu are not marked with the real names of the mountains at all.

From our later experience, we are told that the five mountains of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth and the spiritual mountain described on this map are combined with a large number of local Ba people's feng shui, and this ancient Ba people's feng shui is also "Di Jun Kanyu Jue", which is different from books such as "Book of Changes", "House Classic" and "Dragon Shaking Sutra" in the Central Plains in many places.

And I haven't even heard of the book "The Secret of the Emperor", let alone found this book to find out. The more I think about these questions, the more I feel that I don't have a clue, but sometimes it's just so coincidental that we can't write a book, maybe we are destined to have something to do with this matter.

Next came the Spring Festival in 1999, which was the era when Chen Hong sang "Always Go Home to See" and became popular in China, which was also the last Spring Festival before the turn of the century. Because my grandparents left early, and my dad was a foreigner, almost all of the Chinese New Year was spent at my grandmother's house. I remember that it was the longest Spring Festival in my opinion, and of course, it was also the Spring Festival that completely changed my fate.

My grandmother's house must be talked about, when I was a child, because my parents were busy with work, it was difficult to take my brother a child, so I spent time at my grandmother's house until I was six years old, we didn't have kindergarten at that time, and the children were all school-age to go directly to primary school.

My grandmother's house is also a thousand-year-old town, the ancient town is built on the mountain, born along the water, once and now Youshui is the main channel for material exchange and civilization transmission with the outside world in the mountainous area. One by one, the wooden boats that relied on manpower to paddle and pull the fibers transported out of our native products such as tung oil, gallnut, animal skins, and medicinal materials, and then brought back the foreign oil, salt, cloth, and daily miscellaneous goods from the downstream ports.

This is still a few days before the Spring Festival, my brother came back with the beautiful doctoral sister who was still his girlfriend who studied in the UK, which made my parents quite face-saving, and praised people when they saw them, but when relatives and friends asked me about my situation, I had to support myself for a long time, so that I simply hid upstairs every day without being a ghost or a ghost.

My brother asked me about some information and said, if you like history so much, you should go to graduate school, he knows a doctoral supervisor of XX University, and he can go to his graduate school if he is admitted, I said that I am interested in it for a while, and I have no plans to study for a long time. My brother sighed, I don't know what to say, after he went out of school, in fact, we had less contact, and I felt that we were not the same kind of people as him, originally we were nothing, but we were often compared to each other, and slowly I became more alienated from him. But if I had known that 4G5G would be so popular later, it would have been better to mix it with him at that time, of course, there would have been no such things later.

I remember that day was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, I have a characteristic, until now, never sleep lazy, every day thunder can not get up at 7 o'clock, at this time the sky is not very bright, grandma also got up early, burned charcoal fire and waited for everyone to get up can be around the stove to roast the fire, and then give me a brazier and said: "Erwa, you go to the door to guard a few fish." "What is called guarding fish, that is, my grandmother's house just happened to live on the wharf on the bank of the Youshui River, and it was necessary to walk more than 100 stone stairs to get up to the street, and the fishermen who came back from fishing in the morning would take the fresh fish to the market to sell, and we got up early and waited at the door early in the morning, so that we could buy the best fish first.

When I came to the door, at this time, except for the fishermen, the neighbors on both sides were still sleeping, and ordinary people would not get up so early, so I sat on the stone lion at the door, roasting the fire and smoking boredly.

After a while, a hurried fisherman came up from the shore panting with a big fish basket, I hurriedly called out to him, saying that I look at the fish, the fisherman was very anxious, I said I would choose a few good ones first, and the fisherman said: "Xiaowa, can you do me a favor?" ”

I asked suspiciously, "Okay, what's the matter?" ”

The fisherman said: "I'm a little anxious, I have to go back to XX (a village under our town) immediately, these fish are the old man of the Yuwang Palace under the mountain of my filial piety to my mother-in-law for the New Year, you can choose two at will, and you can help me send the rest over, I won't charge you money." ”

I happily chose two big fish and said, "This is not a small effort." I'll still give you the money, you call it Ha. ”

The fisherman waved his hand and said, "It's just two fish, and I don't have anything to gain." Then he reported his name and told me, "You can deliver the rest of the fish to me." That old man did our family a big favor this year, and I should have sent it in person, but now I have this urgent matter, Mofa. ”

I said, "You go first, and I'll send it to you right away." ”

The fisherman nodded, turned and descended the stone staircase.

I told my grandmother about it, and my grandmother said, "This old man is really powerful, and people in the neighborhood look for him to see feng shui, and sometimes exorcise ghosts and solve Gu." is more than a hundred years old, and it is estimated that he practiced martial arts when he was young, and he looks like his body is still very strong. ”

I said, "I've never heard of him before." ”

Grandma said: "He used to be in Xiangxi, but when he got older, his daughter married here, so he took him over, and the old man couldn't stay idle, so he went to live in Yuwang Palace, managed Yuwang Palace, and showed people Feng Shui or something by the way." ”

I picked up the fish basket, carried the rest of the fish and went to Mother-in-law's Mountain, which was not far from the town, and it was not close to the town. When I was a child, I went to the small river of Yuwang Palace to swim, and I didn't go for a long time, but fortunately there was no change at this time, the road was familiar, and I arrived at Yuwang Palace from time to time.

It was still early and the door was still closed, so I knocked on the knocker and shouted, "Master, I've brought you fish!" ”

"Which!" I only heard a sound like a bell coming from inside the door, which startled me, I steadied my mind and said: "Master, I am XXX asked me to send you fish, he is a little anxious today, I wanted to thank you in person!" ”

The door creaked open. An old man in Tsing Yi with white hair but eyes like torches opened the door, looked at me and said, "XXX, this turtle, why worry about it!" "The voice is loud, it really doesn't look like an old man in his hundreds.

I laughed and said, "The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs, and others are also a piece of mind." ”

The old man in Tsing Yi smiled and said boldly: "Come in and sit, baby!" "I was not allowed to do so, so I went into the house first.

I hurriedly took the fish basket and followed him into the palace gate.

I poured the fish into the tank and said, "Master, I'll go first." ”

The old man in Tsing Yi said in an unquestionable tone: "It's cold, drink a glass of wine and leave!" ”

This time, I saw this old man drinking in the courtyard alone in the morning, and there was a mottled ancient sword next to him, and I don't know if this was practicing or borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.

Seeing the old man alone was quite boring, I was moved by compassion, thinking that I would hide upstairs and watch TV when I went back, so it was better to sit here and drink with the old man and put up a dragon gate array.

I picked up a cup and poured it full of wine, and said, "Okay, drink some with the old man, it's going to be the New Year, I'll toast you first!" ”

The old man seemed to be very happy, took a glass and drank it all, it is estimated that this place is also relatively remote, we have no friends and relatives here, a little lonely alone, an old and a young chatter.

The old man is a very talkative person, and he can't hold it as soon as he opens the box, from Brother Pao to the Alliance, the Hunan Army, and then to the Battle of Xuefeng Mountain in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Battle of Changde, the conflict and cooperation between the Xiangxi bandits and the People's Liberation Army, and the experience of the family in the ******. From Youshui to Dongting, from the first girl he liked when he was young to his later fragrant legends, there are also dragon boats, mountain songs, crying marriages, and waving hand dances. The old man is simply a legend, a living Xiangxi encyclopedia, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he can write a novel alone, which is absolutely wonderful

It's already afternoon when this chat starts, the old man is still interested, and it is estimated that he hasn't chatted with someone like this for a long time, when an old lady in her 6 or 70s pushed the door in, I got up and wanted to greet him, the old man waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's my daughter." ”

The old lady came to bring food to the old man, and I was a little surprised to see this old lady chatting so happily, I have seen this old lady, I know my grandparents, but I definitely don't know me.

The old lady put down her meal and cleaned up the room, and then said something like going home for the New Year, and then left with a smile. The two of us chatted for a long time while drinking, and I wanted to ask about Feng Shui several times but I didn't know where to start, but the old man never mentioned his Feng Shui metaphysics, witch and ghost things, and I think there must be a reason for him.

The old man was almost drunk, waved his hand at me and said, "You baby is okay, but Lao Tzu is going to sleep now, you can come and sit again when you have time." Then he didn't look at me, hummed a little tune, and went to sleep on stilts.

I had no choice but to get up and take my leave.
