Chapter 126: A Shortcut at Night

"The purpose of my coming here was to explore the secret treasure hunt, but now I haven't found the secret, and the treasure has not been found, but how can I lose the joy of traveling with your old friend? This journey, the right is for me to travel, Mr. Fang, I will accompany you, hehe, and by the way, see how you are 'Xuantian borrowing life' method! Yang Tiancong smiled at me.

Maybe there is a person with a little ventilation and water metaphysics by my side, who can always help me from time to time, but Yang Tiancong's body has just recovered, and he must be carefully recuperated and not too tired. And it is still a long way from this Zhang Wang Village to the place where I am going, and it is said that he has to go over mountains and mountains, so how can he take this risk? At that moment, I shook my head and said, "No, your body still needs to be raised." Moreover, I was in a hurry to make my trip, and I had to hurry back to Shanghai after I was done, so I really didn't have time to stay. It's best for you and Xiaolan to recuperate carefully at Village Chief Yao's house for a few days. ”

Yang Tiancong smiled: "Then, let's leave early tomorrow morning." Mr. Fang, I have also learned about the terrain of several mountain villages in this Wuwei county in the past month, they are all steep and steep places, it is extremely inconvenient to come and go, and you have to go over the mountains and mountains, just like the stone basin village you are going to, you have to walk a day's mountain road from this Zhangwang Village, you can also take the mountain road without taking the mountain road, we can return to Wuwei County from here, and then take a car from the county seat to get there, but in this way, it will be delayed for half a day. With such a long mountain road, it would be nice to have someone show you the way. If you go this afternoon, I am afraid that if you are halfway there, it will be dark, and it will be really difficult to be in the barren mountains and mountains. ”

I still shook my head and said nothing, at this time, the village chief Yao's family had already organized several sumptuous feasts, and immediately, we were seated.

The famous elders and old people of the village have already entered the table, and they are grateful to me, no problem, but after drinking two cups of sorghum spirits, I can't bear it anymore, so I quickly drink strong tea.

During the banquet, everyone heard that I was going to leave Zhangwang Village for Shipen Village after lunch, and everyone had a difficult face, and an old elder said: "Master Tian, Shipen Village is too far away from our village, and the mountain road is rugged, which is really inconvenient for a city person like you. If you walk this afternoon, it is estimated that you will walk less than a third of the way, and it will be dark. Leave early tomorrow morning, and you will be able to reach Shipen Village when the sun sets tomorrow afternoon. ”

The crowd chimed in.

It seems that this stone basin village is too far, far away, the key is that there is no straight road from this Wang Village, and it can not be opened to traffic, so you can only go over the mountains and take the mountain road.

"Master Tian is too tired to walk the mountain road, or go to the city first, and then take a ride from the city, where to Shipen Village can be opened to traffic, however, as soon as you come and go, you will have to go around most of the wrong road, tomorrow morning to go, it is estimated that it is late at night in Shipen Village. Although it is said that we have to take more unjust roads, we still recommend that Master Tian go this way. If you take a short road in the mountains, there are often blind bears and leopards in the old mountains in this area, and there are many accidents that hurt people, and in addition, you are afraid, you are afraid of ......" A man with some insight said this, realizing that there was a difference in the eyes around him, so he stopped.

Naturally, I heard some eyebrows, and seeing that they all said that they would not be able to leave this afternoon, I decided to leave early tomorrow morning.

After lunch, Yang Tiancong asked me whether to take the mountain road or go back to the city to take the car, I thought for a while and said, "How close, how to walk." Because I had agreed with the family I had agreed with earlier, they were rushing back from Hainan, and they were busy dealing with their daughter's funeral, and they had to wait for me, so I really couldn't let them take care of it, and I had to get to them as soon as possible. ”

"In other words, you decided to take the mountain road?" Yang Tian held me.

I nodded.

"But, haven't you heard from the old people, the mountain roads are rugged, and you are afraid that you as a city man will not be able to bear a day's fatigue; Second, the beasts in the mountains hurt people, and it is very troublesome to get lost, and it is difficult to contact. ”

I smiled: "Our ancestors walked from the mountains to the flat land, drinking blood, sacrificing fire and ploughing, how could they not bear the mountain road?" If you do not offend the beast, it will not offend you, and besides, I have my own way of keeping it away from me when it sees me. Besides, have you ever heard of a person in the Xuanmen who gets lost? Haha, the starry sky is my guiding light! I decided that walking the mountain road would save half a day. ”

"Okay, let's rest and recuperate for another night tonight, and I'll go with you tomorrow morning." Yang Tiancong looked at me again with pleading eyes.

"Do you really want to go with me?" I looked at him, "I'm just afraid that you shouldn't overwork." ”

"Big man, you told me to lie in bed, how boring! I Yang Tiancong has been in the willful and active, the four seas to explore, free and easy to come over, think I two years ago in Guizhou in a Yi mountain range accidentally by the local hunter caught the calf, I was dragged hard, step by step crawled back to the Yi family village, the blood dragged for several miles, only two days of injury, I went down to the ground to leave, that time, I thought I would die there, but it was okay, my life is big, this time, it was only poisoned by a burst of poison, which is serious? Hehe, don't get in the way, Mr. Fang, I can meet you in this small mountain village, this is fate, I will accompany you, and it is good to be able to give you a start. Yang Tiancong looked at me, very bold.

I sighed in my heart, nodded and said, "Okay, sleep well tonight." However, Xiaolan was only afraid that she would stay here alone, and originally wanted you to stay here with her, forget it, I will tell Village Chief Yao, and when Xiaolan recovers, let them find someone to send her back-"

"Nope! I'm going to go with you! ”

Yang Tiancong and I were shocked, Xiaolan!

The girl got up from the bed at some point and overheard our conversation behind her back. Looking at her complexion, she has gradually regained her luster, and the water spirit of the past has also decorated her again, and she is very moving, there is no doubt that since Luo Qingyang's unjust soul was removed, in such a short time, she can recover so quickly, it is completely the effect of my "Nine Lives Pill"! Otherwise, in my past experience, people who have been subjected to resentful spirits are generally in a coma for two to three days, and those who do not wake up for more than three days are afraid that they will never wake up again. After waking up, it took at least ten days and a half months to recuperate before she could walk on the ground strongly, but Xiaolan had only walked on the ground in just a few hours, and her complexion recovered so quickly, I had to admire the effect of the Divine Pill "Soul Rejuvenation" refined by my Uncle Yan! The pill refined by my old urchin master, Uncle Yanyan, has the effect of "bringing the dead back to life", I have never believed it, but I only said that this is a deliberately exaggerated wording in the classics, who knows that it is really such a miracle!

"Xiaolan!" Yang Tiancong and I looked at each other, very surprised, walked up, all her pulses were completely normal, more and more strange, I couldn't help but sigh: "The recovery is very fast!" Well, Xiaolan, go get some food, get a good night's sleep, and maybe you can really travel far tomorrow! ”

"Yay! Hehe, Brother Fang, Brother Yang, I want to go with you, you agreed?! Xiaolan clapped her hands, and her pupils were full of the light of expectation.

"Okay?" Yang Tiancong looked at me, it was obvious that he didn't believe that Xiaolan was recovering so quickly.

I nodded and said, "It's really beyond my expectations, she is full of Yuanyang now, but her complexion is still a little unstable, eat and make up for it, sleep well tonight, and get up tomorrow should be completely normal." I had never tested it before, and I never knew that my 'Nine Lives Pill' would have such a miraculous effect! ”

Yang Tiancong was surprised for a while, and said, "Okay, we also just sent Xiaolan back to her house." In additionβ€”" He looked at Xiaolan, turned to me and whispered: "I just listened to those old people at the banquet, it seems that there are still some taboos on the mountain road, I don't know what the ...... is"

I nodded and said, "I can hear it too, but I have decided to take a shortcut, hehe, even if there are cows, ghosts, snakes, and bandits Tai Sui in ambush ahead, they can't stop me." ”

When it was about to get dark, I saw that the elders were going home one after another, so I asked Village Chief Yao: "Village Chief Yao, during the banquet, everyone has something that is not easy to say, at this time, you can tell me, and I can walk the mountain road with confidence." What do you have to worry about walking the mountain road? I'm a foreigner, so I'd better prepare. ”

Village Chief Yao had a different color on his face, and frowned slightly: "Master Tian, the key is that there are many beasts on the mountain road, which hurt people, and you don't have a shotgun or a dog by your side, so it's really a bit dangerous." Of course, there are some old allusions that say that the mountain road cannot be walked at night, but these are some legends, and we have not seen them in person. ”

I became more and more weird, and smiled: "What old allusion, can't go at night?" Village Chief Yao forgot what I was doing? ”

"Hey, yes, yes! Heavenly Master is a ghost catcher, what else can scare you! Village Chief Yao scratched his head and smiled, "Our area is at the junction of Jiangxi Province, when the war was fought, well, in 1946, Hu Dashuai, the 'Northwest King' of the People's Party, once came to us with a million troops, and the People's Liberation Army of General Chen Geng fought in our area, and it was the most fierce killing in ** Mountain Harrier Ditch, my mother, I was just one year old that year, listening to my grandfather, Harrier Ditch simply became a river of blood, and the blood flowed down the ravine for three days and three nights! The corpses of the warriors filled in a ravine ten miles long! If you want to go from our Zhangwang Village to Shipen Village, you must pass through the Harrier Ditch, and most of the time you go there it is almost night, it is said that it is very haunted at night, there is an allusion, a person walks at night and sees groups of soldiers digging holes in the trenches, and the trumpet is shouted all over the sky, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is the People's Party or the People's Liberation Army...... The man went to help, and patted a soldier on the shoulder to ask in detail, but when the warrior turned around, he scared the man to death: the soldier had no face at all, but only a man wearing a hat...... This story has been spread very well in several of our villages. A few years ago, there was a horse madman in our village who was the most powerful, and he hit the 'ghost hitting the wall' there, and as a result, a person walked east and west, until the next morning, when his family found him, he was already crazy, crazy for so many years, and people said that they saw ghosts, and they couldn't be cured...... Hehe, it's these old allusions. Master Tian was originally a ghost catcher, and these old masters can't scare you. ”

The "Scraping the People's Party" in the mouth of Village Chief Yao is the Kuomintang, and the "Hu Dashuai" is Hu Zongnan, a senior general of the Kuomintang. I listened very vigorously, it seems that this harrier ditch is going to break through anyway, who let it be a shortcut? However, if there are hundreds of thousands of wandering ghosts accompanying me, it will be really exciting!
