I was busy asking the root cause, the original old shopkeeper in the Republic of China when the reputation was outside, black and white, no one did not know the Baoding Mansion "pin Li", there were many guests from all over the world made a special trip to him, to order some strange things, many years ago there was a businessman who planned to make a plate, specially to order the "golden steel umbrella", and left the map and the secret recipe of alloy proportion, but when the old shopkeeper made the "golden steel umbrella", the merchant was "the yellow crane disappeared without a trace", and then did not come back to take the umbrella, so far after so many years, It turns out that the man is no longer alive. \\。 \

I took the "golden steel umbrella" in my hand, looked at it again and again, the feel of the material, are the same as the previous handle, with this thing with me, even if it is a mountain of swords and fire, I dare to go back and forth, I can't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, and I don't bargain at the moment, so I paid the money according to the price offered by the old shopkeeper.

I saw that the shopkeeper Li was also an "old Jianghu", maybe I could hear some news from him, so I asked him where the location of "Qingxi Town" was? Was there a king who was beheaded in ancient times?

The old shopkeeper said: "Look at all of you at the expense of buying these sharp equipment, and are experts in knowing goods, this time to the ground of Wushan, it is definitely not to do some small moves, and so stingy with money, there is a lot of anxiety between the eyebrows, presumably not for the sake of money, if the old decay is not mistaken, most of it is a matter of first aid, the same people in the rivers and lakes, it stands to reason that they should naturally help each other, but the old decay is also a guest living here, for decades old and sick, rarely go out on weekdays, do not know much about the local customs. I'm afraid I can't help anymore. ”

I said politely: "We have received the old shopkeeper's wishes, and we are going to ask others." "I want to take everyone to say goodbye.

The old shopkeeper said: "Wait, the words are not finished yet, there is only one godgranddaughter by the old man's side, her family is the ancestral hometown of Qingxi, why not let her tell you to know." As he spoke, he beckoned his sister to come over and asked her to talk about Qingxi Town.

My sister didn't know what we wanted to do, so she said strangely: "Qingxi Town? It's been gone for more than ten years, and it's hanging on the road, and you can't go at all. What are you looking for it for? ”

I heard the old shopkeeper say that my sister's ancestral home is Qingxi Town, and I said, "I finally have a place." Hurriedly asked, it turned out that in the Wushan Mountains, there is a very old town, called Wuzhen, which is the name of the official's place, and everyone in the local area knows and knows it.

It's just that it is rumored that the place is where the Wuxian mound is located, so the people in the town avoid the word "Wu". They all call this town "Qingxi", and many outsiders don't know about it. There are mineral vein resources in the mountains, which are extremely rich, and they have been subjected to many wars and fires, and the resources in the mountains are increasingly depleted, the population is gradually lost, and it is becoming more and more barren.

In the sixties and seventies, the whole country was "preparing for war and famine." In order to carry out the work of "air defense, anti-poison, and anti-nuclear," the original mine pits were rebuilt into war-ready air-raid shelters and warehouses, and around 71 years, the residents near Qingxi were relocated to several surrounding counties, but there were many mines in the local area, and the damage to the earth's crust was relatively serious. The construction of the air-raid shelter was not smooth, but with the change of current events, the air-raid shelter was stopped and abandoned after half of the repair, and the entire ancient town passed with the passage of time. It has long been a forgotten no-man's land.

Although the younger sister is from Qingxi, she does not have a surname. I don't know that there is a legend of the headless king in ancient times, when the people of Qingxi moved to the town, she moved here with her family, and her parents died in the Cultural Revolution, leaving her alone, and was taken in by the old shopkeeper.

She said that there are three roads in Qingxi, one is the waterway, and now it is the height of summer, the river is surging, the turbulence is dangerous, and it is difficult to travel; The roads are in disrepair, there are landslides in many places, and they are impassable; Only a section of the ancient plank road is still intact, the plank road is built for the Qin period, the width is only five feet, so it is called "five feet road", through the ancient plank road around the mountain to enter, it takes a lot of trouble.

I immediately unfolded the map and asked my sister to point out the directions, and it would be best to explain the specific location of the "mine pit and air-raid shelter" in Qingxi Town in detail.

Then the old shopkeeper said, "What other map do you see?" Let my sister lead you to Qingxi, and if you have a chance in the future, you can take her out of the mountain, let her see some of the world, and learn some real skills. ”

I didn't expect the old shopkeeper to let my sister be a guide for the expedition, although I couldn't ask for it, on the other hand, I was afraid that she would be in danger, we went into Wushan to find the ancient mound, just to save people, I and Shirley Yang, the fat man These three people are needless to say, Sun Jiuye was also a person who had been tested during the Cultural Revolution, and how can my sister eat the risk? She has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't I "tear down the east wall and make up the west wall"?

I was about to decline, but I heard the old shopkeeper say: "This sister of my family is smart, bold and bold, she has learned art with me for many years, and she can teach her as much as she can, and she is a child who grew up in the mountains. ”

My sister refused to agree, she said to the old shopkeeper: "Or, you are old, who will I go to take care of the godfather for dinner and tea?" ”

The old shopkeeper said: "Silly boy, the godmaster is over eighty years old this year, how many days do you have to live?" When you are like a flower, how can you stay in the mountains to spend the sun and the moon, are you willing to marry that bald braincase with a big spoon in the future? Although I am old, my vision is still there, and I see that their spiritual temperament is the most benevolent and righteous, and they are all characters who want to do great things, you just have to follow

They go to the world, make a lot of money, make a lot of money, and if the godmaster is not dead, you will come to pick up the godmaster and go out with you to enjoy the happiness. ”

The old shopkeeper insisted on letting my sister lead us into the mountains, and entrusted me to take her to the city in the future to do things, I discussed with Shirley Yang a little, and felt that it was better to have a local guide the way, and not let him take risks in front, so I agreed, and recognized me as my junior sister, in fact, I don't know where this generation came from. At this time, Professor Sun came in from the outhouse and said, "I just went out to take a look, and the car seems to be about to drive, so we have to hurry up and get on the road." ”

The drivers in the mountains refused to wait for anyone, so we had to wrap up some groceries for the land. The old shopkeeper of "Honeycomb Mountain" hurriedly left the grocery store with five backpacks, jumped on the car that had started, and drove all the way out of the mountain town in the continuous bumps and shaking.

I sat in the back seat, looked at the "golden steel umbrella" in my hand, and said in my heart that it was really a good adventure, and I hope to take this omen to find the "Earth Immortal Ancient Tomb" smoothly and remember here. I immediately asked my sister, is there any legend of "earth fairy" near Qingxi?

My sister said: "There is a saying that there is a fairy buried in the tomb of the king in my hometown, but the common people say that the earth fairy is a demon fairy, and the tomb is the tomb of the demon fairy, because the earth fairy will be a demon law, and it will be the most charming, he said that he can live forever when he enters the ancient tomb, and deceived many people to bury him alive." However, these are all legends in the early years, and now no one knows whether the matter of the Demon Immortal Tomb is true or false. But Qingxi Town does have a surname. ”

I wanted to inquire more about things, but I saw that my sister was a little reluctant to look out of the old shopkeeper's window, so I comforted her and said: "When I was a few years younger than you, I had already left home, shouting the slogan of the vast world and great achievements. I went out to exercise thousands of miles away, and this fat man went with me back then. ”

The fat man heard me mention the eventful years of the year, and he was also energetic: "At that time, it was really a young classmate, and his mind was full of rebellion and reason, dare to laugh at Huang Chao is not a husband, sister, you are in your early twenties." Still coquettish with the old shopkeeper? But the fat man was only eighteen years old at the time, so he went to the mountains alone at night to see the green, and ran into a ghost, calling the sky should not be, and the earth was not spiritual. I didn't have a curse, so I had to hold on to ......"

After all, my sister is young. Very curious, I heard the fat man say that he had encountered a ghost, so he couldn't help but ask us what was going on?

I have the heart to try my sister's guts, if she is afraid to even listen to a ghost story, I might as well send her back quickly, so I said to her: "I have heard this, after I joined the army, the fat man encountered in the mountains of the northeast, it really makes people's scalp tingle to say it, anyway, we are idle in the car, let the fat man tell you." ”

Shirley Yang and Professor Sun were also curious, and they both listened quietly, but their voices were rounded:

The location is outside the tunzi of the Shanyingzi production team of the Daha Mingzi Commune, the time is the exclusive debut of the hand-made in 1970, and it is also a night in the summer, the midsummer night in the mountains should be very cool, but I don't know what happened that night, it may be a heavy thunderstorm, surprisingly hot, and there is not a single star in the sky.

On that day, Wang Fatzi and another educated youth were assigned to the mountain to "watch", that is, to guard a few acres of land on the slope of the mountain, where the land is planted with buds, the wild boars in the mountains like to gnaw this thing the most, it gnaws more, spoils more, and the bud rice field is an alley when it rolls, so someone has to guard it at night, and when they hear the movement, they come out to knock on the basin to drive away the wild boars.

That night, the other educated youth had something to do temporarily, Wang Fatzi had to go up the mountain alone to watch the field, he set a rabbit during the day, and when he went out, he went out and took a kettle of soil from the tunzi, he was happy to eat and drink by himself, he cleaned up the rabbit in the field, hummed the excerpt of the model play "Red Lantern Record" in his mouth, and so the hare was roasted from the inside out, gnawed a bite of rabbit meat, drank a mouthful of soil roast, and felt that the small days in the mountains were quite moist, but unfortunately there was no wild boar out to make trouble recently, and he couldn't find an excuse to put two shots to have a good time.

Just proudly, there was a thunderclap, the raindrops of soybeans fell down, the fat man hurriedly took the wine jug and carried the half-eaten rabbit to escape back to the grass shed to hide from the rain, but the shed leaked rain everywhere, and he couldn't stay at all, he pondered, there was a mill at the end of the bud rice field, which had been abandoned for many years, why not take shelter over there?

This extremely simple mill has been there since before liberation, but no one has been in it for many years, I don't know what the reason, Wang Fatzi no matter how much, raise his feet to open the wooden door, the inside is black and blind, full of ashes, but it is better than being poured into the soup chicken outside, he poured all the remaining soil into his stomach, fell on the wooden box and fell asleep, and after a short time he was already snoring like thunder.

The fat man slept soundly this night, and he didn't know when he slept until he was woken up by thunder, and he vaguely felt that why was it still not bright this day? I turned over and went back to sleep. At this time, I heard a woman crying in my ear, Wang Fatzi is a bold person, and he has no heart and lungs, he just wants to sleep, who knows that the cry in his ears is getting closer and closer, and he feels like he is about to get into his head, he scolded in a daze: "What the hell are you crying about!" ”

was scolded by him, and the woman's crying voice suddenly disappeared. The fat man didn't think about it at all, but continued to sleep, and after a while, he heard a woman in his ear say, "Don't press my shoes, don't press my shoes, if you press my shoes, I will kill you......"

This sentence was clear, and the fat man still heard it very clearly when he was half asleep and half awake, and he couldn't help but get a piece of chestnut out of his body, and sat up on the ground, sparing him bold. I was already in a cold sweat, and then I saw that there was a woman in the mill, the sun was shining outside the door, and the sky was bright.

The fat man felt something different, scolded a few words, got up and looked, it turned out that on the wooden board under him, a pair of women's cotton shoes were placed upright. There were also two proud red peonies on the toe of the shoe, and the fat man wiped the cold sweat on his head. Fiercely in his heart, he said to himself: "This guy, come to the real place." He picked up two shoes and threw them on the ground, stomped them a few times, and then walked away.

After returning to Tunzi, he blew up the matter to people, and everyone said that it was more than ten years ago. There was a little daughter-in-law who hanged herself in that mill, and when she died, she was wearing a pair of new cotton shoes, and even the shoes were buried in the grave at that time, and no one went to the mill on the edge of the bud rice field, how could she have been seen by the fat man last night? Wouldn't you hit a ghost? There were good people who went to the mill again. I didn't see any shoes, and they all said that the fat man was dizzy after stealing the earth.

The fat man didn't take it seriously, and after so many years, he didn't see any ghosts come to ask for his life, but in retrospect today. Stayed in the mountains all night and slept all night in the shoes of a female ghost. I do feel a little sensational, and God knows which one I bumped into that night.

This experience is a real thing that the fat man encountered when he cut the queue, but at this time, he was about to come out of the car, and he was deliberately showing off, and he refused to tell the truth, which inevitably added fuel and vinegar, adding many sensational and terrifying episodes.

But the younger sister is bold and can't frighten her at all, she just thinks it's a little exciting and novel, and doesn't care how terrible it is, and makes fun of the fat man, and can't tell a scary story with a rake.

I nodded secretly: "This girl really has the courage to do some difficult things." "I was trying to inquire about the legends near the ancient tomb of the earth immortals, so I took the opportunity to say that my sister's courage is really extraordinary, do you always hear ghost stories in my hometown? Tell us a little bit about it.

My sister said that the history of Qingxi Town is very ancient, opened hundreds of years of witch salt mine, witch salt is a special geological salt, can be processed into edible salt, in ancient times the salt tax was extremely heavy, private mining of salt is to lose the brain, most of the people are secretly digging and mining, in order to make huge profits, so the size of the Qingxi area is not less than thousands of mines, to the Qing Dynasty around the mining is almost exhausted, the mountains can no longer find the new salt vein, plus later a large number of air-raid shelters, so that the mountains are full of holes.

"Natural, artificial, semi-artificial" various caves and caves criss-cross, accumulating and stacking each other, some places can be dozens of miles deep, outsiders are difficult to walk, digging deep will inevitably see a lot of strange things, so all kinds of legends have, she has often gone to the mine to play in the pit, anyway, at that time was not very sensible, and did not feel terrible.

When I heard these situations, I couldn't help but secretly complain, seeing that this last bit of hope was going to be thrown into the Oriental sea, and all kinds of projects in Qingxi were about to dig up the mountains, but no one ever found the "Ancient Tomb of the Earth Immortals", and I don't know what means the "Guanshan Taibao" used to cover the sky? It may also be that the "Tomb of the King" is just a myth that does not exist in the world at all.

However, in what my sister said, she mentioned the matter of "mining salt in the cave", witch salt is an extinct resource, and now it is no longer seen, when I used to be a sapper, I have never heard that salt can be dug up in the mountains, but this matter is somewhat in line with the words of "digging wells and cutting salt, asking ghosts for money" in the ancient mystery of the earth immortals.

Thinking of this, I thought, "What a great king, with a body and no head; If the lady does not come, the mountains will not open; Burn the wood and boil the liver and lungs; digging wells and cutting salt, asking ghosts for money; The bird road is vertical and horizontal, with nine times in one hundred steps; If you want to visit the earth immortals, first find the black sheep ......" and ask the younger sister if she knows what secrets are hidden in these words?

My sister is also at a loss, she has never heard of the secret of the Feng family to find immortals hints in this paragraph, I don't know what kind of dumb riddle is played, but when it comes to "digging wells and cutting salt, asking ghosts for money", it must refer to the ancient town of "Qingxi", and it will not be wrong again.

"Wuyan wells" are all occupied by local wealthy families, the poor have to do "coolies, kiln slaves", there is often biogas in the Wuyan mine, and there is groundwater gushing out at any time in the ground, miners and kiln slaves go down the mine to work, every time they have to bear many risks, often a large number of kiln slaves succumb to death in the mine, so the local people only say "dig the well to cut salt, ask the ghost to beg for money".

I see that I finally have some clues, but only this paragraph, is still difficult to solve the full meaning, it is estimated that if you want to understand the mystery of "Dixian Village", you still have to crack the first sentence "a good king, there is no leader", step by step speculation, the old residents of Qingxi Town have long been scattered all over the place, and it is impossible to find a few more people to explore, those ancient legends must be older than the tombs of the Ming Dynasty, and people may not be able to know today, my mind is messy, and I am ignoring it, only to see the clouds outside the car window where the fog is dispersed, In the distance, a lush and upright mountain peak appeared, magnificent and strange, quiet and hazy, and I couldn't see it unconsciously.
