Chapter 15: Copper Coin Village

I saw that there was a hanging coffin mountain opposite, and hundreds of coffins were placed on the cliff wall, which was obviously a cliff burial group of a clan. I wasn't scary to see these coffins, and even though many of them were broken and bones, they were pediatric to me. The only thing that made me feel a little chill was that the height of those torches last night, when I looked at it, happened to be the parallel height of these coffins, that is, those torches appeared in the middle of these coffins, and I thought, could it be that last night I saw not torches, but ghost fires?

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was wrong, the ghost fire was caused by the spontaneous combustion of the phosphorus element in the bones of the corpse, and the light of the fire was not the same as the fire of the torch. But for a while, it was difficult for me to think of a reasonable explanation, unless there was someone in the coffin on the opposite cliff, even if there were zongzi, it would be impossible to light a torch, and only people could light a torch.

Wen Mo stood next to me and looked at me in a daze, touched me, and said, "What, what are you doing, I'm still afraid that the coffin won't work." ”

"I'm afraid, how is it possible, we only like coffins in this business, but now there are some things that I haven't figured out." I replied.

"Don't think about it, let's go." Long Jiu urged in front.

Hearing Long Jiu say let's go quickly, I immediately thought of it a little more, fast, yes, it's this fast, the speed of the ghost fire is very fast and erratic, but last night's torch was very regular, so I can be very sure that it is not a ghost fire, it must be a man-made torch.

I caught up with Guan Hao in a few brisky walks and asked, "Guan Hao, are there any other villages around here?" Is there one on the other side of the mountain? ”

"No, there is only Tongqian Village on this mountain range, there are no other villages, Bawang Tusi management is very strict, other villages in the Ming and Qing dynasties were merged by Bawang Tusi, everyone moved to Tongqian Village, and other villages were burned." Guan Hao replied.

Hearing Guan Hao's answer just now, I had great doubts about the ghost fire last night, although I am not a fiery eye, but what fire, I can still distinguish it, I dare to conclude that it must be a man-made torch, as for what will appear around hundreds of coffins, I haven't figured this out yet.

"Isn't that a big copper coin village?" Wen Mo asked in the back.

"Well, it's not small, it used to be as big as Ruoergai County, but in the late 60s, many people moved out of there, and now Tongqian Village is an empty city, many old-fashioned houses have collapsed, only Tusi Mansion is still a look, and Dorjee lives in Tusi Mansion." Guan Hao replied.

Wen Mo then asked; "Why is this place called Devil's Cliff?"

"This is the name changed after the liberation, it used to be called Hades, and then it was changed to Devil's Cliff, as for what to change, I don't know. However, when it used to be called Hades, Bawang Tusi would organize a sacrifice to the gods here every year. ”

Soon we came to the last cliff road, which was the Devil's Cliff. This is a cliff road that I don't know how long the road is, because standing on our side, we can't see the other end of the Devil's Cliff, this cliff has many bends, and the planks on the side of the cliff also turn around with the bends of the cliff.

Before walking the Devil's Cliff, Guan Hao reminded us again, saying that there is a 90-degree outer right angle in the middle position, and when passing there, we must be more careful, and we can't climb it, and we need to take a bold small step to pass.

It was still Guan Hao who walked before and after us, although he had already crossed the cliff road six times, but walking on the plank, he was still a little frightened in his heart. When we walked to the 90-degree right angle that Guan Hao said, he picked us up at the other end, we need to hand one hand over first, and then take a brave step towards the corner with his pull, although it is only a very simple action, but it requires enough courage, because we can't see the other side of the situation at all.

When I was the first to be caught in the corner, I didn't immediately move forward, but stood 10 meters away from Guan Hao and looked into the depths of the cliff, this time I was not afraid of heights, but was attracted by the wonders below. The abyss below the cliff was like a big mouth, too much like a giant's mouth, open for food to enter.

Suddenly, I leaned over, lost my balance, and instantly realized that it was not good, and saw that my left leg had stepped out of the plank, and only my right foot was still standing on the plank, and a strong hand grabbed my shoulder, shouting, "Don't look down." ”

I immediately adjusted my body, retracted my left foot, knelt on the plank for a long time and did not get up, swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, gasped for breath, began to sweat down my forehead, and my legs and stomach kept shaking. I don't know why I want to go down the cliff just now, my consciousness is always awake, and I am not confused by anything, but why do I want to go down?

Guan Hao looked at me and asked, "How is it, can it still work?" ”

"No problem, give me a hand."

I didn't look down on the next cliff road, and I didn't think about what happened just now, until I walked out of the cliff road and sat down on the road all of a sudden, I felt a sense of fear.

Guan Hao sighed and said: "It's my fault for this, it's better to tell everyone in advance, I didn't want to tell everyone, I was afraid that everyone would be under pressure, but I didn't expect to almost kill someone." Legend has it that in ancient times, for every 10 people passing by there, at least 2 people had to fall down to feed Hades, and those who fell down walked down on their own. But since the annual worship of the gods here in the Bawang Toast, few people have fallen. ”

"It's okay, I don't blame you, I was careless, Xie Lu thanked you for saving my life just now, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have really fed the king of Hades." I said to Guan Hao.

"If you don't have anything to do, let's continue to hurry, there are still a few miles ahead to Tongqian Village, where we can take a good rest."

Hearing Guan Hao say that there are still a few miles to go to Tongqian Village, I immediately refreshed myself, and I didn't think about the scene just now, all I thought about was what I should say after seeing the master, and whether he would be surprised by my arrival.

We walked very fast in the last few miles of mountain roads, and Wen Mo didn't say that he was tired anymore, this time he was more excited than me. Soon we came to Tongqian Village, which is a village built with the mountain, surrounded by mountains, and only our side is a cliff.

From the appearance of this village is really not small, but it is already old, there is a square stone gate more than 6 meters high in front of the village, the stone pillars on the left and right sides are carved with patterns and Tibetan respectively, the beam in the middle is engraved with Tibetan and Manchu two kinds of characters, it seems that what is written on it should be the meaning of the copper money village.
