Chapter 143: Qi Liang
He and I were laughing, and there was a hint of familiarity in our hearts for no apparent reason. It seemed that he and I were confidants, not strangers we had just met.
"Brother Tian, I didn't do what I promised you this time." Ye Qiu touched his nose and said apologetically.
Tian Zhan was polite enough to Ye Qiu, "Brother, don't say this, if it weren't for you, the Tian family might have to fall down." It's cheaper Wei's house! ”
"I will try my best to convert one-fifth of the Wei family's assets, and then send it to the Tian family in person!" Wei Fan put his attitude right anyway.
"Thank you Mr. for your great kindness this time, I Wei Fan can't repay it."
"It's okay, if your family wants to continue to be safe, remember to do more good deeds."
The Wei family not only owes the Tian family's debts, but also the debts of heaven and earth. Although it can't be seen or touched, it can't be ignored, otherwise it may drag the Wei family into the abyss again.
"Is the snake skeleton still useful?" Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I'm going to take that horn, the bones are useless, you need it?"
He really knew the Xuanxu under the Wei family's ancestral mansion, and if he wanted it, it didn't hurt to give Jiaojiao to him, after all, he had already made a big concession.
"Jiaojiao?" Ye Qiu groaned, "Okay, you take the Jiaojiao away!" Just give me the bones. ”
This surprised me a little, but after all, it was someone's private matter, and I didn't ask any further, anyway, Jiaogu didn't have any effect on me.
"My biggest gain from coming to the Northeast is to meet you Huang Xin."
"The most unlucky thing for me to come to the Northeast is to meet you Ye Qiu."
Look at each other again and laugh.
Wei Fan sent someone to pack the treasure coffin and the bones, and then sent someone directly to send them over according to Ye Qiubao's address.
I looked at the white Jiaojiao wrapped in cloth in my hand, and then looked at Ye Qiu who was slowly leaving. This is another weirdo, and I hope to be friends and foes in the future.
I didn't stay long, and there was nothing in the Northeast that made me continue to be nostalgic, so it was better to leave early.
There is no need to worry about the python family immortal, since the fox family fairy and the Huang family immortal have done the insurance, it is impossible to make a stumbling block behind the scenes. The fact that Ling Zhan was able to come in person was enough to show how much attention he attached to this matter.
Because there was no direct plane to Qiliang, in the end, Wei Fan got a private jet to send us directly to Qiliang. In the end, I didn't ask him for extra compensation, and Wei Fan was even more eager to offer me like a god.
"Ye Qiu, this name is very unfamiliar." Brother Zhu said in a muffled voice.
With the sound of the propeller humming, his loud voice was also suppressed.
Brother Zhu used to be a member of Guixu, even if he was just a national art master, but he still had to know about the distribution of some forces in Huaxia, and some people's information.
For example, some grandmaster-level characters will definitely be recorded, or some people with strong talents. Just like me, although there are not many people who know about my existence, the Huaguo Information Database directly listed me as a double S-level.
But Ye Qiu seemed to pop out of a stone, if he hadn't come to the Northeast, he wouldn't have known about him.
"I haven't heard of it either."
Then he fell silent and stopped discussing things about Ye Qiu. At least for now, it seems that he is still kind to us.
The northeast is not too far from Qiliang, and the straight-line distance is more than 300 kilometers. Qi Liang is located on the border of Yanjing. For various reasons, it has become a third-class tourist attraction, and its value has also risen.
After getting off the plane, it was okay to be able to see the nearby scenery, and there was a hint of charm in it. The vegetation cover is also extensive, and from the outside, you can see a sky-high tree, which is located in the middle of the village, and the wind does not move.
"How can I find this Nima?" I looked inside, where is this a village? It's not an exaggeration to say that the town is a town!
It should have been expanded, and the antique buildings outside surrounded the old land. There are also a lot of people, and now this so-called original ecological environment is rare. Of course, Qiliang has become the first choice of people nearby.
"Forget it, let's go to Qiliang Land Temple first."
I don't know if the clay sculpture feels like a return to its old place, I always feel that it is gently shaking. Put your hand on it, and there's a touch of warmth.
"This place seems to be going to be demolished..."Brother Zhu pointed to a sign.
It says that construction will start in a few days, and tourists will not be allowed to enter at that time.
I just glanced at it, and it didn't have much to do with us.
In fact, the most painful thing is that the land lord doesn't know how many years he has been napping. If this is tens or hundreds of years, people will hang up, and they don't know where to find it.
Walking into the boundary of Qiliang Village itself, the clay sculptures trembled more and more violently.
"Brother, do you know where the Qiliang Land Temple is?" I asked a vendor on the side, and I just heard him and others boast that he was a local of Qiliang.
The hawker was stunned, "Land Temple?" How can there be a land temple in Qiliang? However, we are about to build a Confucius Temple here, and I heard that it will make Qiliang a four-star tourist attraction. ”
Speaking of this, the hawker spat and spoke, and talked about it again.
Only I frowned, "How come, haven't you heard of the Land Temple?" ”
"Little brother, are you looking for the Land Temple? Under the plane tree in our village, but I haven't taken care of it for a long time..."An old man who set up a stall on the side smoked a cigarette with a trace of reminiscence, "It's been a few years, and the young people probably don't know it anymore." ”
"The land temple is under the plane tree? So why has it been abandoned for so long? ”
"I came from that era, war, famine, poverty, it was useless to pray to God and worship Buddha, and over time, no one believed it. I heard that this land used to be very spiritual, who knows! ”
What he said was a little casual, even careless, indicating that the land god of Qi Liang did not have much status in the hearts of the people of Qi Liang.
"Does the old man know about Lu Shoucheng?"
"Lu Shoucheng? I don't know! Most people in our village believe in Lu, but this Lu Shoucheng has never heard of it! He took a hard drag on his cigarette.
I felt a little lost in my heart, even an old man of such an age didn't know Lu Shoucheng, could it be that he had turned into a handful of loess?
I suddenly remembered that the land was still shouting Qi Liang at the last moment of surviving the world, worrying about the people in his jurisdiction. There is nothing worth it, there are boundaries between man and God, and the land has not appeared for some years, so it is understandable that it is forgotten.
Thanks to the old man, the plane tree in the village can be said to be a sign of Qi Liang. When you look up, you can see that this tree should be quite old, and you can really appreciate its majesty when you get to the bottom of the tree.
"Brother, look at that!" Xiao Tong pointed with his hand.
There is a mound of earth in the corner next to the tree, and I don't know how many years of wind and rain have left only a broken wall. Fortunately, no one cleaned it up, so that the land temple was preserved.
There are a lot of people coming and going under the tree, and this tree is also one of the main landscapes of Qiliang. The sun falls, the shadows of the trees are dappled, and bright spots of light are scattered.
Suddenly, my heart shook. I read that right, in front of the mound was a pour of incense, and it was a burning incense. The curling green smoke rose, revealing a hint of silence in the hustle and bustle.
The incense had just been lit not long ago, and the man certainly hadn't gone far. I quickly searched the crowd, but found nothing.
suddenly felt that he was a little reckless, and he should ask for Lu Shoucheng to come again. And Yanjing is not familiar with this place, so there is really no place to borrow.
I don't know if there is any taboo, but there are no stalls around the plane tree. It is estimated that there are no locals here, so I turned back again to find the old man.
The old man slowly raised his head, "It's you again!" What do you want to ask this time? Come, sit! ”
I smirked, he sold all kinds of small animals made of sycamore branches and leaves, and not many people patronized his stall.
"I see that there is incense in front of the Land Temple, does the uncle know who it is?"
"Incense? Oh! You're talking about the old man! Incense is poured on the land temple every day, unless it rains. The old man grinned.
"This person is also strange, his home is in the city, and he still runs to Qiliang every day. He also strongly opposed it, and stopped the construction several times. ”
Speaking of this, there was a slight smile in his eyes, and some helplessness.
"Hey! If it weren't for him, the money would have been sent to us a long time ago, and the Confucius Temple might have been built. "The vendor heard us talking and said to him.
"He also said that the Lord of the Land has a great favor to him, how much kindness? I don't want my life anymore, I don't want to be a good Qingfu, and I want to be more nosy. ”
The peddler was very dissatisfied with the old man anyway, and his words were full of complaints.
"I heard that Lao Yangtou also lived in Qiliang when he was a child, and it was the land lord who saved his life. His family slaughtered a sheep on the same day to supply the land of our village, who knows? The old man shook his head.
"When we talk about construction here, is it to demolish the land temple?" I wondered, the land temple is only a big palm, and it is broken, and it is still a woolen yarn?
"The construction is to tear down this century-old sycamore." The old man sighed and looked in the direction of the sycamore tree, "The year is quite long, I heard that my grandfather's grandfather has been cool under this sycamore." ”
"Push the sycamore?" I exclaimed, "Isn't this Wutong also one of Qi Liang's treasures?" Say push, push? Didn't anyone stop it? ”
The old man stopped talking, and played with the little toy he made out of sycamore branches and leaves.
"Little brother, I also see your kindness and tell you quietly!" There were no customers in front of the vendor, so he also squatted down and whispered.
"There is a wealthy businessman in Yanjing, I don't know which master said that it was Qi Liang's big sycamore that made him suffer from a strange disease, so he spent a lot of money to buy Qi Liang Wutong. Prepare to build the Confucius Temple after the toppling. ”
"That old foreigner refuses to live or die, and he has a little relationship with his family, so he hasn't been able to approve it."
"This sycamore is hundreds of years old, you guys, willing?" I asked softly.
"Sycamore is just sycamore after all... However, money is money..."The old man sighed, "The price offered by that rich merchant is not low, and he is ready to repair Qi Liang, how to say that it is also a minority obeys the majority, and few people can refuse the price he offers!" ”
"That's a lot of money, according to the capitation, 100,000 per person, and there are 300 people in our village. Like my family, I can divide 600,000 yuan, such a good thing, I can't find it with a lantern! The peddler laughed, as if the money was already in his pocket.
