On the way, I heard from other senior brothers: Uncle Tai died about eighteen years ago, and the senior brother has been cultivating in the Taoist temple since he was a child, so to speak, he was only a few years old when he heard these words, it is estimated that because he was young, he overheard and did not attract people's attention, I have to be close to the senior brother, because I not only care about the affairs of the ancestors, but also care about the things of the hidden land.

It is recorded in the Book of Changes: Taiji gives birth to two rituals, two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip.

And the four elephants in it include the four elephants in the sky, that is, the four elephants on the stars: the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu. Each contains seven nakshatras.

If, according to the Huainanzi, the metaphorical earth corresponds to the four images in the sky, then we are located in the south, corresponding to the Vermilion Bird, and the following seven constellations are: Jingsu, Ghost Su, Liusu, Xingsu, Zhangsu, Wing Su, and Zhenju.

On the map left by the patriarch, there are only a few circles: one in Daoist Bay, one in Huaishu Bay, one in the high school, one in the deep mountains, and one in Qingtan Town. There are only five of them, and two are unknown.

And what is the patriarch looking for these places for?

The patriarch is like a mystery, entangled in my mind.

As I walked, I thought that before I knew it, I had reached the top of the mountain, and what happened tonight will be unforgettable.

When we reached the top of the mountain, the sun had just set, and only the afterglow of the sky remained.

The view from the top of the mountain is wide, and when I look back at Qingshan Town, I can still distinguish the entire town, and Qingtan Town is blocked by the mountain, and the twilight has shrouded the whole town. The mountain here is gentle, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the distance is much farther than I imagined, it is estimated that there are ten miles away, at the foot of the distant mountain on the left hand side, there is a lake, which should be the reservoir, and at the foot of the mountain on the right hand side, is Qingtan Town, and now the town has been lit up.

On one side of the street in the town, leading into the distance, it should be the road that connects to the next county, and in the direction of the mountain, it is the road that is being dug and leads to us.

At this time, the Taoist priests in the city also followed to the top of the mountain, among which the little Taoist priest has been complaining that the mountain road is difficult to walk, and from time to time he took care of the white socks on his legs, only to see that the socks have been hung in tatters by the bushes on the road, and the Taoist priest Zhang looked at our leggings and said with a smile: "You are still smart, when I first came to you, I wondered why you still use leggings instead of wearing white socks, now you can understand that you want to walk in the mountains, this leggings are still powerful." ”

The master told me before that when I used to march and fight, I often chose leggings, because the legs walked for a long time, and they were easy to get sour and swollen, and we felt much better with the leggings, and we mostly carried out activities in the mountains and villages, and there were many thorns on the road, and sometimes we could encounter mountain leeches, and the leggings could be a good way to avoid this, so since the ancestor came here, our Taoist priests no longer only wear white socks, but choose leggings.

At the top of this mountain, Daoist Zhang seemed to be fascinated by the scenery of this mountain, and kept looking around, while saying to the Taoist priest next to him: "The mountains here are really good, the scenery is pleasant, and the secret is mysterious. ”

The slightly younger Daoist Liu then said: "Yes, when the master and nephew arrive, we will call the master back and enjoy it around for a few days." Then he looked at me and asked, "Little Taoist, I heard that your Taoist Bay is built on a high mountain with beautiful scenery, so take us over in two days to see it?" ”

I replied, "The master promised that I would take you there." The Taoist priest smiled, and the senior brothers next to me urged me to go, and the master had already pulled us some distance in front.

I thought as I walked, did the old Taoist priest casually say the words "hidden mystery", or did he also know "hidden mysteries", the senior brother said that their Taoist temple is to major in internal strength and Qi Men Dun Jia, a large branch of Qi Men Dun Jia is the art of feng shui, then they must have read a lot of mountains, rivers and rivers, although it is said that "hidden earth" can not be detected by the art of feng shui, but there is a high probability that they may have read it in the book.

So is it possible that they came here to look for the "hidden land"?

But I thought about it again, it's unlikely, after all, you can't find it with Feng Shui, how can they know that there is a "hidden land" here, it seems that I have thought too much.

At this time, the road down the mountain is slightly easier to walk, and it is faster, but there are more mountain mosses under the feet, if you go in a hurry, it is easy to slip, and there is a senior brother in front of you, so you accidentally slipped, which caused us to laugh.

The senior brother laughed at first, but when he patted the mud on his hands, he felt that something was wrong, and asked the person next to him to take a flashlight, and he was so frightened that he said why there was so much blood on his hands.

The person next to him saw that there seemed to be blood stains on his body, but the senior brother felt that he didn't have any pain there, just slipped and fell, and he was not injured by a tree branch or something.

At this time, someone reminded to look at the ground.

I took a flashlight and shone it on the ground, and I saw that everything seemed to be moving on the moss of the mountain road.

I squatted down to take a look, and I felt my stomach tumble and I felt nauseous.

I saw that on it, it was densely packed with grass crawlers (this is our dialect, I checked it later, the scientific name should be called Malu), this insect looks like a centipede, and also likes humid environments, and mostly moves in groups at night. In fact, it is very common in our local area, and it is generally seen that it is mostly avoided, because it looks disgusting, and when you step on it, there will be a snapping sound, and your scalp will be numb when you hear it.

At this time, I saw that my feet were full of this thing, but when I stepped on it, there was no sound, but there were red blood stains on the calf strap.

At this time, the little Taoist priest in the back was so frightened that he only screamed, and he shone a flashlight at his feet, not only all under his feet, but also under his white socks were dyed blood red.

Daoist Zhang was also surprised, but he was quite calm, and said: "I thought I was not used to walking on mountain roads, and my feet were sweating, and I didn't want to be all the corpse fluid of this thing." ”

The point is that as soon as we stopped, the grass crawlers started to climb up the instep, and everyone started jumping wildly, trying to shake off the things on their feet.

We go up the mountain, not only Taoist priests, but also people who watch the excitement, some people dare not go down, all stand on the top of the mountain to see the excitement, at this time to see the people in the middle of our mountain, are not walking on the mountain road, but jumping there with a flashlight, I don't know why, some people shouted at the top of the mountain and quipped: "You Taoist priests in the city are quite fashionable, just come and take our rural Taoist priests to dance disco." "As he spoke, he used a flashlight to turn on the lights on our side, just like a dance hall on the street.

The master also found the abnormality under his feet in front, and hurriedly stopped with the master, took out the red pen, drew the talisman on the yellow paper, and then passed it from the front to the back, and at the same time carried the words: burn the talisman and step on it with your feet.

I took the talisman, took out one, passed the rest of the ground back, and passed the words over, and then lit the talisman with a match, and then threw it to the ground, only to see that some of the grass crawlers were burned to death by the fire, and made a bad smell of burning, and the rest crawled to both sides, not daring to approach, I stepped on the talisman with both feet, and the grass crawlers on the instep fled one after another. So everyone continued to walk down, and the Taoist priests in the city behind kept praising the Louguan School's Fu Seal True to its name.

Soon, we came to the construction site, from the top of the hill to see here, but it feels like an earthy yellow dug road, looking like an earthworm, zigzag to the mountain, close to find that this place is actually so wide, more than ten meters, the road into a small slope, continuing to the town street.

The side walls on both sides are covered with soul suppression talismans, and the mountain wall in front of them is bare, seven or eight meters high, which should be what they said was the mountain wall that oozes blood last night, and now it is dark red.

There were several fires burned under the mountain wall and on the side of the road, one was for lighting, the other was for heating, and in the middle of the mountain wall, there was a small table, on which were stacked the urns that were dug up yesterday, and in front of them were all placed with offerings.

I feel my blood surging upwards, these Japanese criminals have killed our compatriots, and now they are still offering them fruits. The person from Qingtan Town next to him explained: "Don't dare not put it down, it started to make trouble last night." ”

It turned out that at night in Qingtan Town yesterday, in the middle of the night, I felt that someone was talking on the street, and the matter of digging out the urn at that time had already spread throughout the street, so it was impossible for anyone to hit the door from time to time and smash the window with stones, which scared the people in the house and did not dare to come out. Fortunately, there is a habit of sticking to the door god and hanging a bronze mirror in the local area, and the general demons dare not enter the house.

This morning, the streets began to talk about it, complaining that the people of our town should not have dug this road and let them suffer. Later, some people were afraid to send the fruits, so they only wanted to protect themselves.

I feel that although our two towns are only separated by a mountain, I can't imagine that there are such differences in character and customs, because of the existence of Taoist Bay, every household basically only sticks couplets, never hangs any bronze mirrors and door gods, if there is anything, go directly to the Taoist. Maybe our side is more superstitious and feudal than here, and mainly relies on family strength, so we are quite resentful of the enmity of our ancestors.

The urns of this day are on our side, even if we are afraid, but I believe that our bold brother Wang Wan will also pee on those urns.

The master looked polite on the surface, and estimated that his heart was similar to what I thought, and the master gave the senior brother a look and said, "We're going to use the table method." ”

The senior brother comprehended, and directly swept all the offerings on the table to the ground, threw the urn to the ground, and said, "I'm sorry, we borrowed the table." ”

The people in Qingtan Town next to him wanted to say that they still endured it after all, but at this time, there was a sudden strong wind, and it was estimated that those things were going to come out to make trouble.
