Chapter Forty-Eight: The Fox Dies, Worships the Wa Emperor

The morning sun, rising.

In the Guling Mountain, the mist is shrouded.

Zhu Cheng stood on the top of Lingshan Mountain and raised his eyes to look around.

He dragged a compass in his hand, and the hands of the compass spun rapidly and swayed.

One hand kept changing the formula, and the mouth was muttering to itself. However, the corner of his eye quietly swept over the man who stopped not far away. The man was not tall and stocky. Half of his face, as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, was folded layer by layer, making his eyes hidden in the folds particularly gloomy.

He, named Zhang Baoxin, is a famous bandit in Taihang Mountain, nicknamed Zhang Yuanwai.

But Zhu Cheng knew that he was not Chinese, but an authentic Japanese.

Last night, he and the man named Guan Shan talked in Japanese, and the content of the conversation was really listened to by Zhu Cheng.

Zhu Cheng, self-crowned jade, a native of Zhengzhou.

He is nearly fifty years old, and on the surface, he looks like an old-fashioned countryman.

He is a feng shui master, studied under Luoyang Qingniu Palace, in the Zhengzhou area, very famous, is a famous immortal.

But in fact, Zhu Cheng's experience is very rich.

He was born in a scholarly family and went east to Fuso to study when he was a teenager.

During the Hundred Days Restoration, he was the craziest follower of Tan Si and others. However, after the failure of the Wuxu Reform, the former like-minded friends parted ways one by one, and Tan Si and others were even more brutally killed, which made Zhu Cheng heartbroken, disheartened and left home, and then traveled to Zhengzhou to settle down.

The famous Zhang Baoxin turned out to be a Japanese.

And Guan Shan, who claimed to be an officer of the Nanjing government, was a Manchurian.

The purpose of their visit to Guling Mountain was to find the ruins of Daji...... As an old-school scholar, Zhu Cheng certainly knows who Daji is. At first, he didn't take it too seriously. But after eavesdropping on the conversation between Zhang Baoxin and Guan Shan, Zhu Cheng realized that Daji's relics were of great significance.

What secrets are hidden in those ruins?

So far, Zhu Cheng is still not particularly clear.

But from the conversation between Zhang Baoxin and Guan Shan, he faintly heard some clues.

Among the ruins, there seems to be some terrible existence hidden, and it may even change the fortunes of the Chinese nation.

Zhu Cheng was disappointed in the Qing Dynasty and did not have any sense of belonging to the Republic of China.

But he remembered his identity as a Chinese.

So, he became very cautious and tried to escape several times.

It's just that Josie's escape last night made Guan Shan and Zhang Baoxin more vigilant, so that he didn't dare to act rashly. Now, Zhang Baoxin asked him to find the dragon vein of Guling Mountain, and Zhu Cheng was also more careful.

"Mr. Zhu, do you see anything?"

Zhang Baoxin suddenly turned around, stared at Zhu Cheng and asked.

His voice sounded soft, and his words were very respectful.

However, Zhu Cheng had a chilling feeling. He knew too well the habits of these Japanese, the more humble and gentle they were, the more insidious they became. In particular, the eyes hidden in the folds are like snake eyes, flashing with eerie meaning. When it falls on people, it will be very uncomfortable......

"In the Guling Mountain, Nuwa Peak is the highest, but it is not enough to hide the wind and gather qi.

Lingshan Mountain is the most neutral, and there are dragons and tigers guarding it. Louhua Mountain's double swords are horizontal, and the weather is thousands, echoing with the dragon and tiger. Therefore, in the entire ancient Ling Mountain, only this Ling Mountain Feng Shui is the strongest. Therefore, in my opinion, Hanmen should be in this spiritual mountain, but the specific location is not yet determined. ”

"Do you mean that the defense gate is at our feet?"

"As it should be."

"Then please find out quickly, Mr. Zhang must be thankful."

"I'll do my best, I'll do my best."

As Zhu Cheng spoke, he immediately pretended to look around.

The corner of his eye skimmed to the direction of the Black Dragon Pond at the foot of the mountain......

At ten o'clock in the morning, the mountain fog lifted.

Zhu Cheng's eyes suddenly froze, he took two quick steps, pointed to a temple on the mountain, and said, "If my guess is right, Hanmen should be in this temple." If you want to enter, you need to blow up the torii. ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Baoxin's eyes also fell on the temple.

The temple, named 'Lingshan Temple', is said to have been built during the Wei and Jin dynasties.

However, the vicissitudes of the sea and the temple were in ruins, leaving only a dilapidated hall and a ruin.

In those days, the incense was extremely vigorous.

But now, it's deserted, and you can't even see a human figure.

Zhang Baoxin said: "Mr. Zhu, are you sure? ”

"Of course, I can be sure."

"Guan Shan!"

Zhang Baoxin did not hesitate, turned his head and summoned Guan Shan to come over, pointed to the broken archway and said: "Blow up the archway, let's find the entrance as soon as possible." Also, send people to continue to monitor and find Hahona's traces. ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Black Dragon Pond, an extremely common name.

Among the places of interest and historic sites in the land of China, 'Black Dragon Pond' can be said to be everywhere.

In fact, the stories they tell are mostly similar, and it is easy to confuse them at first glance.

There is also a Black Dragon Pond in Guling Mountain, which is located at the foot of Louhua Mountain and connects to Ling Mountain.

Like a jade belt wrapped around the waist, the half-ring Lingshan has beautiful scenery.

It was the wax moon, and the weather was cold.

The Black Dragon Pond is covered with snow, which brings out a bit of graceful color.

Su Wenxing stood at the edge of the pond, pointed to the golden turtle climbing the wall in the distance, and said: "The mountain of Louhua Mountain is like a spiritual fox worshipping the moon, and the fox head is in the opposite position, which is the spiritual mountain, which is in line with the saying that 'the fox dies and worships the emperor'."

As the third master said just now, Lingshan was named 'Wahuangling' in ancient times, and it was named after the Wahuang Palace on the mountain.

Later, the demon fox raged in the Wahuang Mountains, there was a great monk passing by here, after slaying the demon and subduing the demon, on the basis of the Wa Imperial Palace, the Lingshan Temple was rebuilt. Later, in order to suppress the demons, it was renamed Lingshan. ”

Ma Sanyuan was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, sitting under a big tree and panting.

After a whole night of mountain road, I first climbed Louhua Mountain, and then came to this Black Dragon Pond.

His physical fitness is actually not too bad, but the night's running is enough to make him feel tired.

"Yes, if it weren't for the Wahuang Monument on Louhua Mountain, I would have almost forgotten this legend!"

"What does it mean that the golden turtle spits out the pearl?"

"Those who defend Gate Mountain, the confrontation between the two mountains between Shuikou, such as the defense of the portal, the second great Quaker.

The sand of the door is the most fond of molding. The sun and the moon, the flags, the turtle and the snake, the lion and the elephant...... Lingshan, there are dragons and tigers guarding outside, and there are golden turtles climbing walls inside, all of which show the characteristics of defending the door. Just now we were on Louhua Mountain, watching the golden turtle climbing the wall, and the turtle looked back, so the opposite position was the Black Dragon Pond. The Black Dragon Pond is shaped like a jade belt, walking around the mountain, but I don't know where the water source is...... You see, the water here is gurgling, and it is a pool of living water. It stands to reason that at this time, even the Qi River outside the mountain is frozen, and the temperature in the mountain is even lower, but it is not affected. ”

"So, shall we go along the Black Dragon Pond?"

Su Wenxing nodded with a smile and looked at Ma Sanyuan.

Ma Sanyuan also stood up at this time and walked towards the reeds by the waterhole.

"Where is the third master going?"

"The fourth child in the city will go into the mountains every autumn to fish in the Black Dragon Pond.

He has a ship here, and he hides in the reeds. There aren't many people in the mountains, so you don't have to worry about someone stealing the boat. The last time he was drinking in my shop, he told me about it. ”

Josie breathed a sigh of relief and stood by the waterhole, looking around.

Su Wenxing sat down beside her, took out a steamed bun and handed it to Josie.

"What are you looking at?"

"Guanshan, they haven't come yet!"

"It's not that easy to find."

Su Wenxing also took out a steamed bun and took a hard bite.

The steamed buns are a little hard and very dry. However, he still swallowed it and said while eating: "This way, the mountains are lingering, and it is not easy to find this side." If it weren't for the third master to lead the way, it would be impossible for us to find here so quickly. Don't worry, Zhang Baoxin and they are probably still wandering around in the mountains at this time. No, we're in the ruins, and they haven't found it yet. ”

"However, there are feng shui masters on their side."

Su Wenxing's eyebrows frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

This is indeed a very troublesome matter...... If a feng shui master leads the way, it doesn't seem difficult to find it.

He took a deep breath and stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth.

After checking the firearms again, Su Wenxing said: "Don't think about it so much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, since we have come here, we have no way out." It's really not good, just fight for this life. ”

Josie broke a piece of steamed buns, looked at Su Wenxing with a smile and said, "Brother Su, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"I'm afraid!"

Su Wenxing held the gun and said with a smile: "What's the use of being terrible?"

I originally thought that by hiding incognito, I would be able to live a peaceful life. But in the end, I still can't hide from it. Before he died, my brother said to me, "*******, *******...... Hehe, I taught him these fourteen words in the first place, and he did it, but I forgot it. When death is on the verge of death, you can't hide from it, so you can only fight to the death, and there's nothing to worry about. ”

"Is that Li Tongsheng?"

"Hmm!"

Josie said, "Brother Su, tell me your story." ”

"My story?"

Su Wenxing smiled dumbly, and said softly: "There's nothing to say, just a deserter." ”

"And what about you?"

"Later?"

"yes, do you have any plans for the future?"

Su Wenxing took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one and said, "I don't know...... It may be to go back to the old temple in Gongxian County, or it may go to Shanghai. Xiao Sheng said that he had prepared a gift for me in Shanghai, and I wanted to go and see it. After that, I don't know, I can only say take a step, look at a step. ”

Josie's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Su, can I go to you then?" ”

However, at this moment, an explosion was heard from a distance.

The loud noise echoed in the mountains, and Su Wenxing was startled, and stood up from the ground with a shout, revealing a look of vigilance.

Rumble!

Another loud bang.

Su Wenxing pointed in the direction of Lingshan and said, "It's on the mountain!" ”

Josie's face also showed a solemn look, and he said softly: "Zhang Baoxin! ”

It seems that Zhang Baoxin and they have also found this side. However, they don't seem to have found a real way to defend it, could it be that they want to blow up a path. Su Wenxing's eyes narrowed and he looked in the direction of Lingshan.

A small boat, coming leisurely from the reeds.

Ma Sanyuan rowed the boat and asked loudly, "Xiao Su, where is the explosion?" ”

"Lingshan!"

Su Wenxing pointed to the mountain and replied, "Zhang Baoxin, they have found it." ”

"What then?"

"It doesn't matter, they didn't find the real entrance, and it wasn't that easy to blow up the passage."

Su Wenxing said, put on his gun, and walked to the edge of the pool.

At this time, the boat stopped on the shore.

Ma Sanyuan beckoned to Su Wenxing and the others, "Hurry up and get on the boat." ”

Josie took two steps and jumped into the boat.

Su Wenxing also followed closely, and the moment his feet landed on the bow of the boat, the boat shook for a while.

"Be careful!"

Josie hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped Su Wenxing.

Su Wenxing nodded and said to Ma Sanyuan: "Let's go!" ”

Ma Sanyuan didn't say a word, shook the oars, and the boat stuck to the water and headed towards Lingshan.

"Miss Qiao, what did you just say?"

Su Wenxing stood at the bow of the boat, suddenly turned his head to look at Josie and asked.

Josie was stunned for a moment, her cheeks flushed, and she writhed a little: "It's nothing, let's wait until we find the ruins." ”
