Chapter 542: Old Mountain Village
Du Kang seemed to want to say something, and I didn't want to continue to discuss this topic, so I took the lead and asked, "Senior Du, do you know who the people invited by Bu Zhoushan are?" ”
Du Kang stroked the beard on his chin and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "The people who can be invited by Zhou Shan should be some casual cultivators and hermitages with unlimited reputations, these people have a bad reputation in the industry, but their cultivation is not necessarily weak. A few years ago, I also heard that there was a very close connection between Buzhou Mountain and the Burial Sect, and it is estimated that this time, the people from the Burial Sect will also come to help. ”
It seems that he doesn't know the details of the other party.
I sighed helplessly in my heart, and then, I could only look at Wu Lin's.
For a whole night, I kept holding my mobile phone in my hand, just waiting for Wu Lin's letter, but when the sun rose, there was still no movement on his side.
Mr. and Mrs. Hu got up early, and at seven o'clock we had breakfast and continued to drive towards Guizhou.
When I entered the territory of Guizhou, Du Kang asked me if I wanted to contact the Long family first, and I said that I would not need it for the time being, because even if I contacted the Long family now, I didn't know how to deploy them, so it was better to wait, and it would not be too late to contact them when my internal line sent a message.
Even if I said so, Du Kang obviously had his own plans, and he still got in touch with the people of the Lao Long family, saying that he had a case in Guizhou and might need some help from the Lao Long family.
Since Du Kang was a little far away from me, I couldn't hear how the person on the phone responded to him, but looking at his relaxed face, the other party should not refuse.
On New Year's Day 2009, I drove this car for a long time and finally arrived at the destination of this trip before noon.
At that time, I was driving the car down the foot of the mountain, and Lao Hu pointed to a row of small trees along the road and shouted: "When you arrive, there is a path ahead, turn in." ”
His wife also suddenly became excited, stared at the road outside the window with wide eyes, and said happily: "Hurry up, hurry up, Xiaodong is still waiting for us at home?" ”
I tilted my head slightly, wanting to ask Lao Hu who Xiaodong was, but I saw Du Kang shaking his head at me.
I had some doubts in my heart, but when I saw Du Kang's solemn expression, I was embarrassed to say anything.
The car walked along the bushes for about 50 meters, and saw a narrow dirt road on the left, which meandered along the gray sky, leading to a small mountain village in the distance.
When I drove the car into the entrance of the village, Du Kang asked me to stop first, saying that Lao Hu was going to get out of the car.
I glanced back at Lao Hu, and saw that Lao Hu was smiling innocently and nodding at me.
Later, Du Kang opened the car door and went down first, and Lao Hu and his wife followed back and forth. I was about to get out of the car, but I saw Du Kang shake his head at me a few times.
Since I entered Guizhou, I have always felt that Du Kang and Lao Hu are weird, and now the two of them look like they have something to hide from me, and in their eyes, I seem to be just an irrelevant outsider.
Everyone has their own secrets, and out of politeness, I didn't ask anything more but pulled the handbrake and watched Lao Hu and Du Kang's various actions from the rearview mirror.
Lao Hu opened the trunk and took out the baggage and pickle jar, while his wife had already taken a step and hurried towards the depths of the village.
When Lao Hu took the things and was about to leave, Du Kang grabbed him again and said something in his ear, Du Kang's voice was very low at that time, and the car windows were closed, I couldn't hear what he said at all, but I saw Lao Hu look at me from time to time, at first the expression on his face was a little hesitant, but in the end he made up his mind and nodded at Du Kang.
After that, Du Kang walked to the driver's door and raised his hand to knock on the window.
I rolled down the window: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Du Kang pointed to the entrance of the village and said to me, "You can walk around the village first, and we will meet at the entrance of the village in an hour." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for me to respond, and took Lao Hu towards the depths of the village.
Li Huaishan watched them go away, turned his head and asked me, "What's the matter with these two people, the gods are chattering." ”
I shook my head: "Who knows what they're thinking. ”
As I spoke, I pulled up the handbrake and drove the car onto a path due west.
At present, this village is built on the mountain, the south of the village is a large area of old mountainous area, the north of the village and the west of the village are a large area of farmland, because there is a row of very tall old trees planted around the village, even in this season when everything is withering, the branches and leaves on the trees are withered, only the bare branches are left, but it is still difficult for the sun to shine into the village, and today's weather has been overcast, the whole village gives people a feeling of gloom and silence.
As I drove around the village, I noticed that there were only a few people living in the huge village, and occasionally there were dirty children covered in mud rushing past the side of the road, and they would always stop before disappearing, and turn their heads to look at the car, with a deep curiosity in their eyes, but only for a brief moment, and the figure soon disappeared at the end of the path that ran through the house.
Seeing these children, Li Huaishan couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong with this village, how does it feel gloomy." ”
I said: "The feng shui in the village is yin and yang, and if people live in this kind of place for a long time, their hearts and temperament are easy to become gloomy, and even their fortune will be affected. ”
Li Huaishan was a little puzzled: "Who would set up a village in such a place?" ”
I pointed to the old forest and heaven and earth outside the car window, and explained to Li Huaishan: "This village should be a year old, if I am not wrong, the first batch of people to settle down here should have come in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, at that time, the products here are still very rich, the land is also very fertile, living here, at least you can eat a full meal." ”
Li Huaishan asked me again: "How do you know that the first batch of villagers came over in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties?" ”
I said: "When I came here just now, I saw an old mountain dragon king temple in the center of the village, generally speaking, the ancients sacrificed to the dragon king, the sacrifice was the water dragon king, at that time people thought that the dragon king was the god in the river, set up a temple and sacrifice, can keep the wind and rain smooth, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, people in the Qianxiang area began to pay tribute to the mountain dragon king, hoping to take advantage of the stability of the old mountain dragon to ensure the stability of the world for a long time, and the border is not broken. Later, when the people entered the customs, most of the mountain dragon temples were demolished, but I didn't expect to be able to see them here today. ”
Li Huaishan sighed: "How do you know so many things, are they all from the ancient books of Xitang?" But there are so many ancient books in the old couple's house, can you remember them? ”
I smiled: "If you are more interested in something, you can remember it after reading it once, and if you are not interested, I can't remember it even if you watch it ten times." ”
Li Huaishan leaned his head at me: "Hey, if it's not, in fact, I found out, your head is quite bright......
"Don't talk yet." I waved my hand to interrupt Li Huaishan, then slowed down, pressed my face against the window, and looked out of a clearing on the west side of the village.
At present, except for a few roads made of stone or hard mud, most of the rest of the village is covered with vegetation, except for the west of the village, there is such a bare clearing, which looks particularly eye-catching.
Above the clearing, I vaguely saw that there was an evil qi flowing, but those Qi fields were very weak, and they could hardly affect the living, so it was said that such a weak evil qi should slowly dissipate in the flow of the Great Qi of Heaven and Earth, but the Qi fields on the open ground were condensed and not dispersed, as if some kind of power was quietly blessing to prevent them from completely dissipating.
After watching for a long time, I didn't see any other doorways, so I slowly stepped on the accelerator again and let the car run.
Li Huaishan asked me on the side, "What's wrong?" ”
I smacked my lips and said, "This village is a bit weird, but I don't see the root of the weirdness for a while." ”
After that, I drove this car again, and walked around the east and south of the village, and on the hillside to the east of the village, there was an old house that looked a little dilapidated, and it is estimated that during the Qing Dynasty, someone in the village had been an official, and built such a house after returning to the hometown. I roughly estimated the location of the house gate, and if I stood behind the threshold and looked into the village, I should be able to see the mountain dragon temple in the center of the village at a glance.
On the southern periphery of the village, Li Huaishan and I found a half-dry broken river, the source of the river is in the mountains, the river channel follows the foot of the mountain, and extends to a small dirt bag outside the village, it is said that a river like this should eventually flow into a lake, or into a waterhole connected to the earth's veins, but the river is cut off by the mound, there is no water in the river, only a large piece of soft wet mud, when I drive this car past the river, I can still smell a pungent smell.
The smell is like that emitted when the meat of a fish has been left out for a long time and the meat has rotted in a large area.
The smell was so pungent that I didn't dare to stay by the river for too long, so I drove away.
Far away from the river, Li Huaishan took two long breaths and said to me: "What the hell is going on in this village, as soon as I came in, I felt uncomfortable, and after turning around with you, this feeling became stronger and stronger." ”
I shook my head: "I don't see any mystery anymore, I just think that the feng shui in the village seems to be deliberately arranged like this, but I also think that the feng shui here may have been broken." ”
Li Huaishan blinked: "Has it been broken?" What do you mean? ”
I said, "That is to say, the local feng shui has been artificially altered many times. ”
While chatting with Li Huaishan, my eyes wandered on both sides of the village road, most of the cottages have been deserted, only a few houses still have bright light, during which I found that when I drove across the road, many people opened the curtains and looked at me, even if I found out, they did not evade, just stared at my car.
