Chapter 903: Strange Stone Road
The road was paved with bluestone slabs, and although it was overgrown with weeds, it was still walkable. Copy this address to browse
I took out the GPS and looked at it, and the altitude of this mountain is only more than 400 meters. Looking at Yinshan Village from afar, its scale is quite large. The building has been built along the ridge to the north, and even in the green trees on the cliff on the mountainside, the ruins of some houses can be faintly seen.
The trail is not easy to walk, but it is easy to identify. Approaching the cliff head, there is a spacious stone road, with neatly stacked stone guardrails on both sides, and stone slabs and chiseled non-slip crossings. However, due to disrepair, the bar has lost its proper function.
After turning the last corner, we have arrived at the head of the village, which is still lush and green. It looked very secluded from the outside, and when I was about to be in the village, the north wind was blocked from the forest.
"I'm tired." Yan Guo plucked his feathers and drank hard, "Quickly find a place to camp, and then explore the village to find clues." ”
"Let's talk about advanced villages." Experienced in the alpine outdoors, and has strong judgment" You look at the corpse of the winter madrigal, it is obvious that it has been eaten by wild beasts. Although I checked that there were no large aggressive animals in this area when I came, I was on my own for safety. It's best to set up a tent in a place with sturdy bunkers on all sides. ”
Everyone but me thought so.
I haven't entered the village entrance and seen the temple mentioned by the local population. It is said that one was built on each side of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the entire Yinshan Village, and there were four in total.
Our group entered the village from the west, and naturally encountered the West Temple.
If you look closely, this temple looks like a temple, but it is more like a Taoist temple, and no matter how you look at it, it looks nondescript.
The villages of the country are often built with temples related to the emperor and the temple, and this place is no exception. The land protects the harvest, the Emperor Guan protects the peace, in front of this temple in the west of the village stands a statue of Emperor Guan more than two people high, and the stone seat full of green vines is also engraved with the words "Emperor Shenyong".
However, due to the abolition of a hundred years, the golden color of the characters has long been gone, and the stone statue is also dilapidated.
The temple is very large, and there are many buildings. At the entrance of the door stood an ancient stone tablet with mottled handwriting. I stood in front and looked at the unfamiliar italics, and finally managed to discern some information.
This is a temple built by a Taoist priest named Hu Siping in the Tang Dynasty, and since it was completed, the people of the place have come to pray for incense. The temple was presided over alternately by monks and Taoist priests, and since the Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, it has been teaching the teachings of Quanzhen Religion. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, also in 1542, under the initiative of Han Xian, a famous feng shui scholar who lived in seclusion, and the host of the contemporary generation, the temple was rebuilt, and three small temples were added around Yinshan Village, and monuments were erected to show merit.
The things written on the stele are very general, just some history.
"Gone." Qiu Mu saw that I was standing still and gently pushed me.
"Hmm." I nodded, followed the procession around the temple, and continued in the direction of the village.
I didn't go far before I saw a collapsed archway remaining twenty meters away. Below this archway is the main road into the village, which should have been a magnificent man-made object, but now all that is left is the decay and vicissitudes of life after the building is empty. The stones that fell after the archway broke were hidden in the deep grass nearby, and they could not be found without looking carefully.
However, there is another obvious landmark on the right side of the village entrance.
It is a statue about three meters high, and it is still lifelike after hundreds of years of baptism and exposure to the wind and sun.
"This thing is a bit of a wickedness!" The goose plucked his feathers, reached out and touched the statue, turned his head and asked, "Will it be worth selling it out?" ”
This woman's character is really bad enough, the former sentence is still belittling the stone carving evil sect, and the latter sentence has jumped to value.
"It is." I also walked and touched it, and the material was the same as the slatted stone under my feet, hard and cold.
“?” She repeated in confusion, "What is that, I've never heard of it!" ”
"You should have heard of the dragon giving birth to nine sons, right?" I asked.
"I know something, but I don't know." She is not ashamed of her lack of knowledge.
"Now that you know, it's easier to explain." I took out my camera and explained while taking pictures", one of the nine sons of the dragon, also known as Baxia. It resembles a thousand-year-old turtle and is characterized by its ability to carry heavy loads and carry stone tablets for many years. In the ancestral hall of the temple, people can see this hard-working strong man everywhere. It is said that touching it brings blessings. ”
"Really? Will a little more touch remove the curse? The goose plucked its feathers, and was so happy that it was eager to paste the whole person. The rest of the people are also ready to move, after all, the curse of this legendary thing has been encountered, what superstition can't be believed?
"Don't be too happy." I scratched my head, "Although there is only one type, it can be divided into several uses depending on the stone tablet on the back." Legend has it that in ancient times, Baxia often carried three mountains and five mountains, making waves in rivers, lakes and seas. Later, Dayu subdued it when he controlled the water, and it obeyed Dayu's command, pushed the mountain and dug ditches, dredged all over the river, and made a contribution to water control. The flood was subdued, and Dayu was worried that the overlord would scatter wild everywhere, so he moved the extra-large stone tablet that stood up to the sky and the earth, and engraved the deeds of the baxia to control the water, and called the baxia to carry it, and the heavy stone tablet pressed it so that it could not walk casually. Therefore, its use is actually built near the mausoleum in all dynasties, to ward off evil spirits, and even to prevent the corpses in the mausoleum. ”
I glanced at it again, "although the handwriting on its back is weathered and I can't see it clearly." But judging by the shape of the stele alone, it must have been used to suppress the mausoleum and ward off evil spirits. Touching this thing doesn't bring good luck. ”
Yan Guo was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand, and snorted a few times, "You kid didn't say it earlier!" Mildew, phew! Bah! ”
After walking around the village, the sun gradually set. We set up camp on a bonfire in the abandoned village square and discussed how to recreate what a group of hikers had done in the mulberry forest.
As the sun sets, the sun finally converges into the mountains in the distance. With the cry of the night birds, another night has come!
All the way, I was thinking, when Xia Xue and the other six people hiked into Yinshan Village, what did the explorers do in the past? This is also something that everyone is speculating about. Sang Lin has always been hesitant about this, and he is reluctant to say it all. Even if he forced him, this guy also used 'I don't know' as an excuse to send everyone away.
We are all helpless about this. But there is no way, he is too fierce, who knows if he will use lies and perfunctory. So I can only wait until I come to Yinshan Village, and let him restore everything that the team has done little by little.
