Xiao Laodao frowned suddenly, looked at the burden, looked at my grandfather, and asked my grandfather, "Are you sure you heard the sound just now?" ”

The master nodded and said firmly: "It's true, but I didn't see what it was." ”

Xiao Laodao turned his head and asked Xiao Shiyi again, "How many are left?" ”

Xiao Shiyi gestured and replied: Three.

"The head of the cane is still there, right?"

Xiao Shiyi gestured and replied: It's still there, in my baggage.

Xiao Laodao nodded, didn't say anything, and then ordered everyone, "It's not a big deal, let's go to sleep." ”

Although Xiao Laodao said this, in my grandfather's opinion, he seemed to have noticed something, but he just didn't want to say it too soon.

The next day, I continued to hurry, and no one mentioned the loss of rehmannia at night.

When it was almost noon, everyone climbed over a mountain, stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the side of the mountain, a large number of houses, which should be the Dazhai that the villagers said before.

Next to the stockade, there is a river running north-south, and it seems that the water flows down from the mountains and bypasses from the west of the town.

Everyone quickly went down the mountain and walked into the big village, which was not quite the same as the previous ones, not all of them were bamboo houses, many of them were stone houses or earthen wall houses, which were somewhat close to the Central Plains buildings. It's just that this town is obviously not very rich, and everyone went around the town twice and didn't find an inn, only two taverns, and they could only play the top and not stay in the hotel.

Xiao Laodao discussed with one of the taverns, and the tavern owner agreed to vacate a room for miscellaneous items to collapse for everyone.

After settling down in the tavern, Xiao Laodao divided the labor among a few people, and asked my grandfather to take the girl to the town to buy applied things, such as yellow paper, incense, needlework, herbs, etc.; Xiao Chujiu and Xiao 11 were responsible for purchasing dry food; Xiao Laodao himself brought the old man to ask for food, and was responsible for checking the feng shui outside the village, and the purpose of the two of them was to find a cave place. The old man said that the peaks on both sides of the river outside the village should have a big tomb hidden in the mountain.

Everyone stayed in the tavern for two days, and the master and a few people had prepared all the items they needed to use, but Xiao Lao Dao had not been able to find the tomb yet.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Laodao came back with a spring breeze on his face, and when he entered the door, he greeted a few people from the grandfather, and immediately packed his luggage and entered the mountain.

When everyone heard this, they were both excited and excited, and they all came to their senses, and they were all relieved, because this trip to Sichuan and Shu was really difficult, one step at a time, everyone was already physically and mentally exhausted, and it should be time to end.

Everyone immediately packed their bags and left the tavern.

After leaving the village, Xiao Laodao and the old man led the way in front of the head, and walked up along the river next to the village, heading north, which is equivalent to going upstream, fortunately there is a path along the river, and it is not difficult to walk.

After walking along the path for about five or six miles, the mountains on both sides of the river gradually rose up, like a canyon, sandwiching the river in the middle, and at this time, the path by the river turned elsewhere, and the people did not follow the road anymore, and continued to go north along the river.

After walking for more than ten miles, a cliff blocked everyone's way, and the river flowed down from the cliff and rumbled.

The master raised his head and looked, the green mountains and mountains, the waterfalls and flowing springs were fascinating, and he couldn't help but ask Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, what kind of place is this?" ”

Xiao Laodao looked at the waterfall flowing down and smiled, "Where there is a big tomb." ”

"Where's the tomb?"

The old man next to him hurriedly raised his hand and said, "It's on the top of the mountain, at the source of the river." ”

The grandfather looked at the top of the mountain, a little unconvinced, "Is there really a tomb on this?" ”

Lao Yaofan said very confidently: "I can't be mistaken, this place is a dragon vein, this water happens to flow from the dragon's mouth, this is called 'real dragon spit water vein' in feng shui, the mountains have dragon energy, the spring water has vitality, the people buried here, not only the descendants are full, rich and noble, and the descendants will produce high-ranking officials and generous people." ”

Xiao Laodao looked around at this time and said, "Don't talk so much about it, let's see how we can go up." ”

At present, the position of the people, except for the south side where the river flows, is surrounded by mountains on the east, north, and west, and it is very steep. ”

The old man said: "There must be a way, let's look carefully." ”

The crowd then dispersed and searched for the vicinity of the waterfall, but after searching for a long time, they could not find the way up the mountain.

In the end, Xiao Laodao laughed self-deprecatingly, and said loudly to everyone: "Don't look for it, the road must be on the other side of the mountain!" ”

In a word, everyone woke up.

Everyone walked back along the river, until they came to the path by the river, Xiao Laodao looked at the path, and beckoned everyone, this road should be able to go around the back mountain, cheer up, and strive to climb the waterfall on the top of the mountain before dark.

The path was similar to what Xiao Lao Dao had guessed, and they walked around the mountain in a zigzag way, and everyone followed the road until the sun was west, and finally went around to the other side of the mountain.

On the other side of the mountain, the slope of the mountain is significantly slower, and the vegetation is not very lush, so it is no problem to climb up.

Everyone rested at the bottom of the mountain for a while, after eating something, began to climb the mountain, and when they climbed to the middle of the mountain, it was completely dark, at this time, faintly, they saw that there seemed to be a house not far from the mountain, and everyone suddenly felt strange, who would build a house on this halfway mountainside, besides, it was inconvenient to go up and down the barren mountains and mountains here, who would live here?

When everyone arrived near the house, they found that it was not a house, but a tall shrine, and there was no statue of a god in the shrine, only a large stone tablet more than a zhang high, and there seemed to be words on the stone tablet.

Everyone lit a torch and took a look at the stele, and saw that the stele read: Shuanglong Forbidden Land, mortals stop, and there is a payment in the lower left corner, which reads: Meng Chun in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, Jinglong Zhenjun Book.

After looking at it, he asked my grandfather, "Brother Liu, what does the words on this tablet mean?" ”

After a moment's thought, the master replied, "This mountain may not be a cemetery, but a dojo for cultivation. ”

The master's voice fell, and Xiao Laodao sneered: "What 'Shuanglong Forbidden Land', just pretending to be a ghost, like this kind of stone tablet, I have seen a lot in the tomb, and there are any entrants who die or something, all to scare the tomb robbers, let's continue to go up the mountain, don't pay attention to it!" ”

When the crowd heard this, they bypassed the stele and continued to climb up the mountain.

On the third watch, everyone finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and saw that the top of the mountain was high and low, undulating and undulating, faintly, and the sound of falling water could be heard, and it seemed that the waterfall was not far away.

Following the sound, everyone soon came to the source of the waterfall, and saw that the source was in a pit on the top of the mountain, and the water formed a pool more than a foot wide in the pit.

At this time, the old man took out the compass from his body, and asked for a torch from Xiao Chujiu's hand, without saying a word, he looked for it around the waterhole alone, and soon, the old man greeted everyone.

When the people looked at him, they saw that the old man was standing more than two feet behind the waterhole with a torch in one hand and a compass in the other, as if he had found something, and everyone hurried towards him.

When everyone came closer to take a look, they saw that in front of the old man's eyes, there was a vertical hole about the same size as the diameter of the waterhole.

At this time, the old man asked the crowd, "Do you remember the words on the stele just now?" ”

The master glanced at each other, no one said a word, knowing that the old man was going to go down, and then, the old man went on to say: "This vertical hole, I'm afraid it is one of the double dragons, in the past it should also be a waterhole, and the water inside is also outward, one water flows to the north of the mountain, one flows to the south of the mountain, and there is a saying, called 'single mountain picks double dragon', but now the water flow has dried up, becoming a single mountain and a single dragon, and the dry waterhole has become a dragon mound......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Laodao asked: "According to the old brother's meaning, is the coffin under this vertical hole?" ”

The old man nodded, "This vertical hole is an excellent hole, if it is not the cultivation dojo that Brother Liu said, then it must be a tomb." ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he was immediately happy, squatted next to the vertical hole, touched a stone from under his feet, raised his hand and threw it down, stopped for a while, and there was a "pop" sound from the vertical hole.

Xiao Laodao immediately stood up and beckoned everyone, "This hole is about six or seven zhang deep, let's put down all the ropes and have a surplus, don't be stunned, let's do it." ”

Later, the people found a solid rock near the shaft and tied the rope to it.

This time, only the old beggar and the showgirl were left to let off steam, and the ghost monkey also had to go down with him, and the ghost monkey was still in charge of being the first to go down to the cave to investigate, and at this time, its injuries had basically healed.

Xiao Laodao let it go down the first hole, mainly because it is good at climbing and flexible, in case there is any danger in the hole, it can climb back very quickly, which the master can't compare with it.

At this time, the ghost monkey handed the little white bear in his arms to the showgirl, and he himself grabbed the rope and went down to the hole, the monkey did not carry a torch, the hole was pitch black, and after a while the monkey disappeared.

After a while, the cry of the monkey came from the cave, which seemed to be over, and no danger was found at the bottom of the cave.

Subsequently, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi also went down, and finally the master and Xiao Laodao were left, at this time, Xiao Laodao glanced at the little white bear in the arms of the entertaining girl, and inexplicably admonished, watch this little thing!

Soon, Xiao Laodao and Taiye also went down the rope.
