"Haha, don't be careful, this old man has already thought of it." The Dragon King's family, after listening to Mo Mo and Xiao Shan's narration, the Dragon King stroked his white beard and said calmly, "This little girl is right, Xiaohua is only a teenage girl, how can she make such a difficult decision?" So I expected that she would take Mrs. Zhang to the deep mountains and old forests at night, so when I parted yesterday, I left a little bitter Luolan powder on her, and the bitter Luolan powder will emit a special smell, and I can track them down with this smell. ”

After listening to the Dragon King's words, Mo Mo's face was obviously relieved, but soon, she began to urge: "Then let's go to Xiaohua and them, it's dangerous if it's late." ”

The Dragon King waved his hand and refused, "The time has not yet come. You go have breakfast first, and then take a tour of the village, and I'll find someone to inform you when the time comes. ”

Mo Mo was a little excited: "Grandpa Long"

Before he finished speaking, the Dragon King interrupted: "Little girl, don't worry, the yang energy is in full bloom during the day, and Mrs. Zhang's corpse transformation will slow down, besides, I carefully observed Mrs. Zhang yesterday, probably tonight, when the dark clouds cover the moon and the yin energy is at its peak, Mrs. Zhang will begin to lose the last of her wisdom." If you track it down now, you'll be startled. ”

"Alright, Grandpa Long." Mo Mo finally lowered his head and followed Xiao Shan. Halfway through, Mo Mo said with some curiosity, "Brother Xiaoshan, why don't you ask Grandpa Long to come and have breakfast together." ”

Xiao Shan touched Mo's head and said with a smile: "Hehe, although the rice is good and can cushion the abdomen, it is still a mundane thing, more or less there will be a little useless residue or poison left, eat too much, these poisons will accumulate on the body, and when you are old, you will damage various organs, block the meridians everywhere, and when you reach the limit of the human body, people will naturally die." Therefore, Long Lao began to eat pine cones and weeds on the mountain when he was fifty years old, and only drank the dew in the early morning, so that the accumulated toxins could be the least and the human body's functions would remain in the most vigorous state. Little girl, you don't know if you talk too much, hehe. ”

"No, I know." Mo Mo retorted, "I have seen the news before, saying that someone entered the forest during the war, fed on pine cones and the like all year round, lived for more than 50 years, and was in good health, but as soon as he came to the real society, after eating the usual meal, he died not long after." Is it because Grandpa Long can live so long because he eats these things all year round? Then Brother Xiaoshan, why don't you eat it? And "

"Okay, okay, ask so many questions, how can I answer them, let's ask them one by one." Xiao Shan deliberately showed a look of resistance, paused, and explained one by one, "I am in the prime of life now, those pine cones cannot meet the calories in my body, and eating pine cones and dew is to often endure the pain of hunger." So in our village, only the patriarch and he has to be fifty years old to start eating these things. Because I heard Elder Long say that eating this all year round can not only live longer, but also keep the body in an empty state and increase cultivation. ”

"Hunger and strength and longevity, if it weren't for the patriarch's responsibility to protect the dragon tomb, I believe that the dragon elder would not be willing to choose to eat these things, it's like penance, that feeling of hunger is unbearable for mortals. A year ago, when Elder Long chose the next patriarch among several of us, I was chosen because I endured this feeling of hunger. ”

"It turns out that Brother Xiaoshan, you are the heir of the patriarch, no wonder you know everything." Mo Mo said with a look of adoration.

Xiao Shan touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Where, in fact, these are all things I studied in school, but our village has rules, unless you want to leave this village, you must return to the village after the age of eighteen, and you must never leave, so I went back to the village after finishing high school, and now several years have passed, and I don't know how the outside world has changed." Alas. ”

Hearing his helplessness from Xiao Shan's sigh, Mo Mo asked with some sympathy: "Is it because your village wants to protect that dragon tomb, so you can't leave?" What is the Dragon Tomb? It can't be a dragon cemetery, there seem to be many cemeteries on the way here, and there are all kinds of dynasties, why aren't there any tomb robbers? ”

"Uh, did I say I missed my mouth? Well, in fact, this is not a big deal, although our village is called Qingtan, but it is the most famous cemetery around, as for what the dragon tomb is, only the patriarch is qualified to know, maybe it is one of those cemeteries you meet on the road. Xiao Shan said nonchalantly, "In fact, in the era when we were just liberated, there were many tomb robbers in our village, but our village has been buried naked since ancient times, that is, there is not even a coffin, and a monument is directly erected and buried, so those tomb robbers can't find anything, and over time, there are no tomb robbers." ”

"Alas, our village should have been inherited for one or two thousand years, and I don't know when it will end, now that the society is developing rapidly, sooner or later it will be eliminated." Xiao Shan's brows furrowed, not knowing what he was worried about. After a moment of silence, he continued, "Don't worry, go to breakfast with me first, have a good rest, and then browse the scenery of our village, which you can't see in your big city, when the time comes, Elder Long will naturally send someone to inform you." ”

"Hmm." Mo Mo nodded, still a little worried and asked, "Xiaohua and Grandma Zhang will definitely be fine." ”

Xiao Shan patted Mo Mo's head and said, "Don't worry, Long Lao has lived for more than a hundred years, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves." More than ten years ago, when I was a child, there was a white fox in the mountain behind our village who had cultivated to become a fine cultivator, and began to go down the mountain to cause trouble, killing a villager, which angered Long Lao. Long Lao immediately set up an altar at the entrance of the village, found a few fox hairs, after the spell, the fox hairs automatically ignited, as a result of three days later, there were village names successively found that there were foxes on the mountain inexplicably died, these dead foxes were scorched all over the body, as if they were burned alive by the fire, since then, within a radius of one kilometer, no fox has ever appeared. Long Lao said that this is an intermediate Zhu Youshu transformed into a head-lowering technique, which can kill people thousands of miles away with a trace of hair. All the dragons are here, you can rest assured. ”

Xiao Shan's words made Mo Mo's heart settle, and Mo Mo asked with some admiration: "Kill people with a trace of hair and thousands of miles away?" This, it's amazing, isn't it, and it's only intermediate, if it's more advanced, what more advanced witchcraft is there? Brother Xiao Shan, will you? ”

Looking at Mo Mo's adoring eyes, Xiao Shan smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Our village has rules, only the patriarch is qualified to learn these things, I usually follow Long Lao, at most I will start to fight, and when I am fifty years old, I will start eating pine cones and drinking morning dew, and when I inherit the position of patriarch, Long Lao will start to teach me slowly." ”

"You're only thirty at most now, and Long Lao is more than a hundred, can you wait until you're fifty?" Mo Mo blurted out, and then, as if he realized that he had said something wrong, he stuck out his tongue and looked playful.

Xiao Shan smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, if nothing happens, it's no problem for Long Lao to live for another fifty years." ”

"Life is so long." Mo Mo couldn't help but exclaim.

Because Zhang Xiaohua left suddenly, everyone got up too early, so after breakfast, the sky began to brighten slightly, and the sun still did not show a trace from the mountains.

Cheongdam is a village deep in the mountains, surrounded by mountain peaks, so even though it is summer, you can still feel the coolness.

Xiao Shan took Mo Mo and me to the entrance of the village, because now the light is sufficient, I found that the so-called village entrance is a thirty or forty square meters of open space, behind the open space, is where the whole village is located, in front of the open space, is the huge banyan tree I saw last night. On the right side of the clearing, there is a small hill that rises up, blocking the view to the outside world, as for the left side of the clearing, the whole terrain suddenly sinks more than ten meters, looking down from above, like a small cliff, below the cliff, a river five or six meters wide is lying quietly.

Xiao Shan seemed to enjoy the feeling of standing at the entrance of the village, closed his eyes, took a hard breath at the river below the cliff, and said: "Before the Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, our village was called Dragon Tomb Village, and the Son of Heaven regarded himself as a dragon. But during the **** period, the Red Guards grabbed the word "holy tree" and insisted on it, thinking that our village was superstitious and worshiped trees, and almost cut down the holy tree. Fortunately, the patriarch at that time paid the price of his life, so he saved the sacred tree, and in the end, the patriarch of that generation had to reluctantly change the name to Qingtan before leaving. ”

"That's not bad, the river below is like a piece of jasper inlaid in the earth, so clean, I can't help but want to take a bath." The clear river pool, named after the clear pool, is also quite good. Seeing the incomparably harmonious scene in front of him, Mo Mo's mood seemed to improve.

At this time, the mischievous sun finally showed half of its head, and a ray of golden red sunlight sprinkled every corner of the village, and the mountains on the other side of the river seemed to wake up, and countless white mist rose into the air, filling the entire mountain forest. It's like a fairyland on earth, such a spectacular scene, where can you see it in the city, Mo Mo suddenly showed a surprised expression, staring intently at the scenery in front of him.

I couldn't bear to disturb her when I looked at the enjoyment, so I was bored and attracted by the huge banyan tree in front of me, and I saw more clearly by the newborn sun. This banyan tree is definitely more than 30 meters high, above the banyan tree, countless thigh-thick branches are scattered on all sides like a dragon, below the banyan tree, the thick roots of the arms are like dry eagle claws, grasping the pulse of the earth vigorously, because there are too many scattered roots, so the whole banyan tree is like a forest that has shrunk countless times, making people feel endless vitality.
