Chapter 31: Lodging

Welcome to Guanshu Network:

A few people in a group have seen the Laojun Pavilion and worshiped the Heavenly Master Cave, in addition to the beautiful scenery of the landscape, Cha Wenbin is left to explain some basic Taoist history to a few people along the way, but it also seems light. Waiting for the time to go down the mountain, it was already evening, a few people came to a small town at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the stay, the innkeeper who came to pick up the guests pulled his throat, pulled the corner of his clothes, the scared little girl thought that she had entered the bandits' den, almost quarreled with a few aunts, was hesitating where to complain, came to a rural old man to answer: "A few guests, are you here to travel to Qingcheng Mountain?" ”

The little girl thought that she was another solicitor, so she pouted and refused to answer, but Lao Wang was really tired, so she asked: "Yes, don't you go down the mountain to find a place to live?" You're here to solicit customers, too. ”

When the old man heard this, he was very polite, took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, scattered them one by one, but no one took them, took off the straw hat he wore on his head, and used it as a fan: "My family has a farmhouse hotel, the price is half cheaper than these hotels, in addition to being more remote, it is also relatively clean, if you go to live, I can give you a cheaper price." ”

The name of this town is called Zipingpu, it is said that Mr. Zhuge "1,200 people" was the main protector of Dujiangyan, and the soldiers and horses were Chaoping, which is said here, because of the relationship between Qingcheng Mountain, this famous military town in history is now a small famous tourist town.

Cha Wenbin was not a person who liked to be lively, but when he heard that there was a quiet place, he wished to leave the place where these people were piled up as soon as possible, and chose a remote location to live, so he promised to go over and have a look first, and the old man led the way, and the group passed.

This inn is also a two-story building, the owners are farmers, with the help of the tourist wind, rebuilt into a small hotel, although not luxurious, but clean enough. may be because the location is too remote, out of Cha Wenbin and his party of four, there are no other tourists to settle here, but let them have a quiet place.

This host is also very hospitable, I want to come to the weekdays there are not many guests, looking at these four people is naturally extraordinarily enthusiastic, I have to pull together to have a dinner, the land of Bashu, has always been like a guest, around the big round table, eating is actually some mountain mushrooms and game, the farmhouse fried. is hot and spicy soup, even Leng Yiran, who has never touched chili peppers, is also very addicted, not to mention Lao Wang and Cha Wenbin, as for He Yichao, he has already had three glasses of white wine with the master's family, and he called him brother and brother, it turns out that there is a son in this family who is also a soldier, and when he asked, he realized that he and He Yichao were in the same army before, and when they saw each other, they were naturally enthusiastic and tight, and the two brothers were so drunk that they were red-faced, and they were chatting happily.

As soon as he drank too much wine, he naturally talked more, this farmer's old man's name was Zhuo Yugui, and his retired son was called Zhuo Xiong, because he was strong and powerful, people said that he was a bear blind, and then shouted and shouted, and he became blind, but he was not really blind, he was a Tibetan soldier, and his eyes were good!

Originally, the son came back from the army, and the above was to arrange an official meal in the town, this kid was born ** good to hug and fight, because he was not used to those bureaucratic styles, he had several conflicts with the leader, so he simply resigned from his errand and helped the family take care of this small farmhouse, although he was poor, but he was very comfortable, this introduction provoked Chaozi's great admiration, and he drank a few glasses in a row, but it was not enjoyable, and he had to shout for a big bowl, but he was stopped by Cha Wenbin.

This old king, is also a chatterbox, can pull ah, archaeology has taken root in the countryside all the year round, and it is inevitable to inquire about some legends and strange things around here, and he has made his identity clear, Zhuo Laohan heard that he is an archaeological expert, and he can't help but have a few more respects, the old man touched his hair that was about to go to the top and said: "Less than two, in our Qingcheng Mountain, to say that there are no legends, it is naturally impossible, this Taoist fairy mountain, there are some fairy stories since childhood, we have also been reading and seeing since childhood, during the Cultural Revolution, many monuments have been destroyed, if you want to find, I'm afraid there is really no trace of it, but there is a place that is just ......"

Cha Wenbin was interested and asked, "Just how?" The old man might as well say come and listen."

I don't want the old man Zhuo to stop: "Forget it, that place, it's better not for you to go"

"Oh? Do you keep saying to hear it? ”

Zhuo Laohan nodded: "Okay, I am not a Zipingpu person, I have lived in a small mountain village more than 30 kilometers away from here, although it is closed, but it is also very beautiful, thirty years ago, the child was not born, the old man got a daughter named Zhuo Lian, the year the blind man was born, his sister was taken by the child and her mother into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, we have been collecting medicine for generations, but there is only one place that never goes, the people who came back said that their mother was led to that place by the little ghost, after that, I never came back......" After that, Zhuo Laohan was already in tears, and he must have remembered the sad past

Lao Wang handed him a cigarette and motioned him to slow down. Zhuo Laohan took it and nodded, and continued to speak: "There is a big mountain ten miles away from our village, and it is dark in the distance, but it is filled with fog all year round, and it is said that there are some fairy grass and lingzhi in it, but there is a testament on the ancestors of each family, that is, you must not enter the mountain for half a step!" Before the liberation, the days were really unbearable, and there were a few bold herb pickers who wanted to go into the mountains to find some valuable herbs for rice to eat, and they didn't want to go in three old hunters, and they all carried gunpowder guns, and they didn't see anyone come out for seven days, and the people outside were so anxious that they couldn't do anything, and the village discussed going to three hunters to look for them, and they didn't want to spend another seven days, only one person who came out and went in was already covered with scars, and his mouth only repeated that there were ghosts inside, and after three days, he died and whimpered......" "There are ghosts inside? Leng Yiran, who was next to her, interjected with relish, causing Lao Wang on the other side to glare at her fiercely, causing the little girl's tongue to poke straight out, holding her cheeks and not talking

"Yes, the person who came out also kept repeating this sentence before he died, and no one dared to enter the mountain again, I don't think how my child and her mother would go there, it must be a mountain ghost in the mountain to lead the way, and I am sorry that I am left with Zhuo Xiong, who is less than a year old."

When Cha Wenbin heard this, he interjected and asked, "Old man, how can you be sure that they have entered the mountain?" ”

The old man wiped a handful of tears, stiffened his neck and replied: "That day on the mountain pass path, someone saw them go in with their own eyes, shouted a few times, no one answered, and then looked closely, it had disappeared in the fog, and quickly went down the mountain to inform me, I immediately called someone to look for it, but the fog inside, the miasma was indulgent, no one dared to take a step, I could only wait in the mountain pass for more than a month, no one was seen, I was afraid that it was difficult, after going down the mountain, I took the blind man to this Ziping shop, I would have done a little carpenter work, I made a home here, and later I heard that the people on the mountain had also moved out one after another, but as for where they went, I don't know, and I am afraid that the small village has been abandoned over the years. ”

"Oh? Bedraggled? Is there no one living there anymore? ”。 Lao Wang asked

"No, the land is barren, the transportation is inconvenient, pick some herbs to exchange for food, good foot strength has to walk all day, as more and more young people come out to work, there is no one there."

Cha Wenbin nodded: "Does the old man know, what is the name of that mountain?" ”

Zhuo Laohan sighed: "Then I can't know, it is said that there is fairy grass Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain, but there are snakes guarding it, so the mountain is also called Qi Feng Mountain." ”

The little witch over there immediately giggled and said, "Snake? Old man, you are laughing again, hehe, I know the snake, the snake is also called the five-step snake, the main production area is in Zhejiang and Liangguang, where did the snake come from in Sichuan. ”

Zhuo Laohan was unwilling, and defended with a white face: "What do you know about this little girl?" ”

Leng Yiran pursed her lips disapprovingly, looking like she was watching a good show, but Cha Wenbin said: "The snake was first seen in "Lei Gong Cannon Theory", also known as the white flower snake, "Kaibao Materia Medica" cloud: "Shengnandi and the mountains of Shu County. "The Book of Sketches" clouds: "There are all in Qianzhong and Qizhou and Dengzhou. "Compendium of Materia Medica" cloud: "Flower snake, lake, Shu are all there, now only the snake is good at the name." However, there are not many lands, and the goods in the market and the people taken by the lawsuits are all from the mountains of Xingguo Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River.

It can be seen that there are historical records of snakes in the land of Bashu in ancient times, and it is not excluded that there are traces of such snakes in some deep mountains, so don't talk nonsense there. ”
