Chapter 1172 Beyond the Mountain
Before dawn the next day, Long Yanxing pulled everyone up and said that he would take us to the power plant first.
I found out there was electricity in this place last night, and I was a little surprised when the chandelier hanging on the roof of the inn came on.
Listening to Long Yanxing's meaning, there is actually very little power supply in Shanmen on weekdays, but this time so many people came, Chang Gengshan did not want others to feel poor, so he deliberately transported the coal from the stock to the power plant, so that the power plant would generate electricity specifically for the post station.
In my eyes, such a mountain gate that even lost two steamed buns and had to shout and shout to kill, what would it look like to be poor, and even deliberately opened such a power plant in order to save face, which can really be regarded as a model of a swollen face and a fat man.
This power plant is simply a fig leaf for Chang Gung Mountain, even if I can't bear it, I don't want to see such a thing, but Long Yanxing insisted on taking us there, he said, whether I want to or not, the power plant is a must, because the plant is located in the middle of the mountain, if you want to find out the situation around Chang Gung Mountain, you must pass by it.
In this case, it is better to watch early than late, so as not to be upset.
At first, I thought it was just a small factory used to generate electricity for Shanmen, and the area should not be too large.
But when Long Yanxing led us out of the valley and into the stream called "Mountain Beyond the Mountain", I was really startled by what I saw.
It's a big plant, and the area is almost as big as the largest power plant in Bohai Bay, but the exterior of the plant looks very old, and there are no living people in the factory.
Rust, dust, and desolation, giving it a wasteland atmosphere similar to the post-apocalyptic wilderness.
I didn't expect that in such a beautiful mountain with clear water and such a place, at first glance, it has a unique charm.
By the way, the reason why I didn't see this power plant until I arrived at the stream was because we had been walking in the underground tunnel until Long Yanxing opened the stone gate at the end of the tunnel and I couldn't see the situation outside.
The entrance to the road is an old well in the mountain gate, and the well is even loaded with a wheel, and a semi-wet wooden barrel is placed, all of which look like they are still in use.
But there is no water at all under the well, and there is a secret tunnel at the bottom of the well.
Just by looking at the well, you can guess that the stream in front of you should have been a secret realm secretly guarded by Chang Gung Mountain.
Long Yanxing pointed to the factory building in the distance and said to me: "This factory building is rebuilt from an old warehouse. ”
Lao Zuo frowned: "What kind of warehouse is stored, so big?" ”
I heard Long Yanxing say: "I heard that it was used to store armor and weapons, and it is rumored that when Temujin was on an expedition to Western Xia, he had set up an arsenal in Chang Gung Mountain. ”
Lao Zuo immediately heard the door: "Temujin fights wars, most of them use war to support war, and rarely prepare a large amount of baggage, why do you need such a large arsenal?" ”
Long Yanxing scratched his head: "Huh? That's right. Then I'll ...... I don't know. ”
However, Lao Zuo quickly said: "However, the statement that Temujin has built an arsenal here may not be unfounded. In the third year of Baoqing, Temujin died precisely in Western Xia, and it is very likely that he will not receive the arsenal after his death. ”
Generally speaking, when I encounter this kind of discussion of history, I will definitely not get involved, after all, I don't know much, I have little things in my head, and I talk a lot, so it is easy to show ugliness.
But Li Huaishan didn't care about this, and immediately spoke: "You say, Genghis Khan's tomb won't be built here, maybe the power plant will be his tomb under it!" ”
Hearing Li Huaishan's words, Lao Zuo almost rolled his eyes: "No matter what Temujin said, he was born in the grassland, and he would not go to this kind of place to build a tomb, firstly, he would not enter the soil in the grassland, and he would not be able to enter the immortal heaven, and secondly, he had already entered the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was too dangerous to build a tomb here." Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he didn't think about this, it would be impossible for him to entrust his body to a sect like Chang Gung Mountain. ”
Li Huaishan was obviously a little unconvinced: "In case he ......"
Huang Yuzhong hurriedly interrupted: "There is no case." You haven't read many history books, and your understanding of history is nothing more than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Water Margin, and some pseudo-history on folk commentaries, so don't be embarrassed here. ”
Li Huaishan still stiffened: "Although the commentary is not history, it is also created on the basis of history, you can't underestimate these things, this is all art!" ”
He was stubborn on his own, but no one paid attention to him.
We do not doubt and comment on the artistic value of the book, but it is precisely because art is always easier to pass on by word of mouth than historical facts, that Li Huaishan only remembers the part of artistic creation, but often ignores the historical facts contained in these works of art, or sometimes he can't distinguish which ones are artistic creations and which are historical facts.
There is a path paved with bluestone slabs on the periphery of the power plant, and Long Yanxing led us up the path, and along this road we left the mountain stream and climbed a hill only two or three hundred meters above sea level.
There are many similar hills in this area, which are cut by seven river veins, and there are endless streams between the mountains, among which the power plant is located is the widest, and the slopes used to house the plant are also flatter.
Long Yanxing stood on the edge of the mountain peak, pointed to a peak in the distance and shouted, "Du Ye plans to put the jade sickle in the Duya View there." ”
The single cliff view, well, the name is very vivid.
In front of the peak, there were several laterally flowing rivers and large moist tidal flats, and behind the peak was a low hill, the highest of which was only halfway up to the peak, making the peak itself like a sharp tooth standing in the fertile field.
At the top of the peak, you can vaguely see a building that looks like a Taoist temple.
There is no plank road suspension ladder on the mountain peak, if you want to go up, you can only climb the cliff with your bare hands, and put the jade sickle there, which is indeed a safer choice. However, I still plan to make a few formations on the mountain to strengthen its defensive capabilities.
At this time, Long Yanxing turned around and said to me, "Your old family's housekeeper is called Hanya, right?" ”
I nodded, "yes." ”
Long Yanxing raised his chin towards Dufeng: "That mountain is called Hanshan, according to Du Ye, the shape of the mountain is very similar to Hanya." ”
I only reacted when he said this, yes, the shape of that mountain peak is indeed very similar to the tooth blade of Hanya, and it is also called Hanshan, so I have to wonder if there may be any connection between Chang Gung Mountain and the family.
Either that, Han's teeth are indeed like this.
Long Yanxing didn't explain much, and took us to continue to wander around the mountains.
The tidal flats of the river at the foot of the mountain form another special scenic spot in the mountains outside the mountain, called "Bud Valley".
The reason for the name is that all the vegetation that grows there does not grow much and always maintains the posture of young shoots, and the periphery of several tidal flats is surrounded by mountains, forming a valley that is not a valley.
This is because the bones buried under the tidal flats suck away the life from the sand, which prevents the vegetation from growing properly.
Long Yanxing said that under the bud valley, there are buried the bones of the people of the Chang Gung Mountain in the past dynasties, and these corpses take heaven and earth as the mound, and do not enter the coffin, do not stand the grave, and do not set up the tombstone.
I took a look at the flow of the Qi field near the Bud Valley and found that although there was a turbulent water in this area, the Qi field did not circulate, and the water was cloudy, resulting in extremely heavy yin qi on the tidal flat.
When a corpse is buried in such a place, the corpse is very prone to mutation.
Lao Zuo also frowned at the time: "If you bury the corpses of the cultivators here, aren't you afraid that they will become evil corpses?" ”
Long Yanxing said: "Originally, there was this danger, but fortunately, the rivers on the tidal flat are all connected with the bone-deboning pool, and the mountain pool is also called the anti-evil pool, and the holy water in the pool has the effect of turning corpses and suppressing evil spirits, once the evil corpse enters the pool, even the bones can be dissolved, so it got the name of the deboning pool." There is a watchman in the pool, so let's not go there, so as not to have another conflict. ”
I asked, "What is a wake?" ”
Long Yanxing pondered for a moment before responding: "They are two special ghost creatures between a fierce ghost and a fierce god, I heard that they were surrendered by the founding patriarch of Chang Gung Mountain and put into the boneless pool to guard the pool." The people of Chang Gung Mountain Gate believe that the bone-shedding pool has been blessed by the ancestors, and the pool water has the special effect of turning everything into a saint, if their bones are nourished by the spiritual charm in this pool all the year round, sooner or later they will be able to get the Tao with their corpses and become corpse immortals. ”
!
The water flowing from the tidal flats does not have such an effect, but it does suppress the yin qi around the beach, presumably it is precisely because of the existence of this bone-shedding pool that it prevents the corpses of the Changgung Mountain Gate people from mutating, even if they are abnormal, they cannot raise the corpses normally.
Lao Zuo pondered for a moment, and sighed suddenly: "It's a pity, this Chang Gung Mountain was originally a holy place for cultivation, and the Bone-Shedding Pond and Han Mountain both have the qualifications to manifest sainthood, but the people of Chang Gung Mountain don't know how to develop their potential." ”
Long Yanxing nodded: "Du Ye said the same thing. ”
Lao Zuo asked, "Do you know where Senior Du went?" ”
Long Yanxing shook his head at first, but then said: "I guess, Du Ye may be out of the mountain, but I can't tell what he is going out to do, and I can't guess what Du Ye is thinking." ”
Lao Zuo frowned: "I also have a lifelong friendship with Senior Du, it's not that I suspect him of anything, it's just that he is so secretive, it really makes people feel unhappy." ”
Long Yanxing didn't think there was anything wrong: "Du Ye is like this, you will get used to it when you have more contact with him." That's right, Uncle Shi. ”
Lao Zuo: "Huh? ”
Long Yanxing said: "Du Ye said, let us get to the mountain outside the mountain, just act cheaply, don't care what the people of Chang Gung Mountain think of us, if you always take care of the people in the mountain gate, you can't do anything." ”
Lao Zuo turned his gaze to me: "What are your plans?" ”
I pulled out the palladium compass from my backpack: "While it's still early, let's do everything that needs to be done." ”
