Chapter 40: The Plains in the Mountains

"Treasure hunting, what kind of treasure are you looking for?" Brother Zhengchuan and I couldn't help but feel strange when we heard this man ask like this.

Compared with Brother Zhengchuan, my personality is much more direct, and in the face of this man's question, since I feel puzzled, I will ask directly.

At this time, the entrance to the foot of the mountain had arrived, and the man stopped the tricycle.

He took off his gloves and said to us, "That's all there is to do here, and although there is a way to go in, my car can't stand the toss." ”

When I looked up, there was a snow-covered dirt road stretching deep into the bottom of the mountain, and it was not impossible to say that the car had to barely get in, but as the driver said, it would be a toss to go in again.

Brother Zhengchuan and I didn't want to embarrass people too much, so we nodded and agreed.

Taking advantage of Brother Zhengchuan's money, I asked again: "Big brother, you haven't said it yet, why do you say that we are here to hunt for treasure?" ”

At this time, Brother Zhengchuan had already handed the money to the driver, and while counting the money, he looked up and said, "Isn't it?" As he spoke, he smiled innocently, scratched his head, afraid that we would misunderstand, and added: "I'm not sure, but I heard that we have treasures in this mountain, so people have come in this season one after another every year in the past few years." ”

"Oh, so? Is there really a treasure? "I already knew in my heart that this was the result of the ghost market, after all, this town was arguably the only entrance to this unknown mountain range, but I still coped with it.

"Who knows? Anyway, the local people in our town don't believe it. In previous years, it was not so lively, but it has only risen in recent years, and it will only take a few years anyway, but it will give us one more livelihood to support our families in this season. Before, I didn't know why? Later, a brother in my town went to ask, and the people who entered the mountain casually said that they were looking for treasure. ”

At this time, the man counted the money in his hand while talking, and was still very satisfied and stuffed it into his jacket pocket.

Before getting into the car, he kindly said to us: "It's not that there are legends here, that there is an ancient city." It's a very old ancient city, and I don't know where it is in the Spring and Autumn Period or the Warring States, and I don't know. It was said that the whole city was buried later, and I wondered if the treasure hunter was going for this? But this year is deep, and the mountains are not necessarily peaceful, there are many legends, you are so young, I said don't go to join in the fun. ”

Brother Zhengchuan and I are a little hot in our hearts, but it is impossible not to go to the ghost market, but it is impossible to explain the reason for this worldly ordinary person.

Brother Zhengchuan could only barely cope with one sentence; "Actually, none of us have heard of this, and we are not here to hunt for treasure, and I think too many of us are not. We are all medicine pickers, and it is true that there is old medicine in the deep mountains. ”

I admire Brother Zhengchuan's ability to talk nonsense, but I don't want that man to be upright: "I'll just say it, in fact, there are several people who say that they are collecting medicine." It's a pity that I don't understand that thing, and I don't dare to venture out in this mountain, otherwise I would."

While talking, he tore off a piece of paper and wrote a mobile phone number to us: "Look for me again when you go out of the mountain." ”

I'm quite good at doing business, Brother Zhengchuan and I are naturally happy to take it, looking at the driver's back and walking away, Brother Zhengchuan asked me: "What's the situation in this ghost city?" Is it the same as when we went? Why is it so 'arrogant' to be exposed to the public? ”

"I don't know if it's the same. But to give me the news, Mr. Chen said that this is the real ghost market. "At this time, Brother Zhengchuan and I were already walking towards the mountains with our bags on our backs.

After all, there is not much time left, and we dare not delay for a moment.

In addition, the one who counts the sky and said that the opportunity is in the ghost market, but I have nothing but a note on how to go to the ghost market, where do I go to find an opportunity?

When I think about it, my heart is a little heavy.

On the contrary, Brother Zhengchuan was more relaxed than me, and said to himself there: "Ordinary people often say that they can't reach cultivators, but in fact, where can you see that you and I are cultivators?" Maybe in the cognition of ordinary people, cultivators should be full of profound words, and the reason for doing it is also unpredictable, right? ”

"Maybe." On the road into the mountain, I thought that the car could barely get in, but I didn't want to walk less than 20 meters, and after a corner, it became a sheep intestine path.

If it weren't for the scattered footprints left by predecessors, it would be almost impossible to see the way.

"Anything, I think it should be. Therefore, this ghost market is a little 'arrogant', but it will not arouse too much suspicion. After all, first of all this town is remote. Second, despite the rumors, most people still believe in the near-reality claim of taking medicine. And I guess that it is a person who comes, and the number of cultivators is also limited, so I don't think there will be too many. Finally, I think the locals have an inexplicable awe of the local deep mountains and lakes. ”

"Yes, after all, the local legends are only known to the locals. Those who don't know will be fearless, but the locals will be in awe. I agree with Brother Zhengchuan's statement, but I asked strangely: "Brother, why are you suddenly so worried about what the people know?" ”

Brother Zhengchuan was originally smiling lazily, but when he heard me ask, his expression suddenly became a little stern.

He said to me, "Don't you think, third child? The lives of ordinary people should not be disturbed! And the burden on your body, and the things you have to do, are not they the same? As he spoke, Brother Zhengchuan's tone softened a lot, and he looked at me and continued; The third child, do you feel a little wronged? Doing so many things, you can only be nameless. It's not just you, people don't know a lot of sacrifices, and they don't even know a lot of people's savings. ”

It turned out that he was worried about me, so he thought about it so much.

As Brother Zhengchuan said, what I want to do, isn't it essentially like this? Just let those who should have a peaceful life continue to live a peaceful life.

In the calm, in the torrent of time, move forward with peace of mind, this is the wheel that drives people and history.

And the so-called nameless at this time, the gentle place of the sheep intestine path has also come to an end, and a sudden rise should be up the mountain.

I looked at the mountain in front of me and said softly, "Brother Zhengchuan, do you care if you are unknown?" It is not a good thing if a person can only explain his own heart in his life. ”

"Let's go up the mountain." Brother Zhengchuan smiled, and the corners of his mouth hooked up that lazy angle again.

One qiē is just in plain sight.

The snow-covered mountains are actually not easy to walk, but fortunately, this is not the coldest place in the real northeast, and this layer of thin snow will not cause too much trouble to me and Brother Zhengchuan.

Although the people in the town say that in this season in recent years, many people have entered the mountains.

But in the middle of this vast mountain range, how much can there be? Brother Zhengchuan and I have traveled all the way, and we really haven't met one.

The mountains and forests in winter are silent, and it is boring to rush with such a bow, and I and Zhengchuan are not people who talk too much, and along the way, we gradually feel that there is nothing to say.

But there is a question that has been bothering us, why did this ghost market only rise over the years?

In fact, after I entered this circle, I also knew a little bit of common sense, there is more than one ghost market, not a place where Master took us when we were children, but the real ghost market.

A person worthy of Chen Chengyi's status, solemnly introduced to me, should not have risen in the past few years at all.

Therefore, this issue once became the core of my discussion with Brother Zhengchuan, but the two of us still know very little about this circle, so we discussed it and discussed it in the past, but there was no result, so we had to give up.

A day's time passes in such a trip.

And the more Brother Zhengchuan and I went deeper into this mountain range, the more we were full of awe in our hearts Although we grew up in the Qinling Mountains since we were children, the place where we stayed for a long time was only near the mountain gate and Wangxian Village.

In essence, I didn't grasp the mystery of the mountains at all.

Just like the mountain range in front of me, it is like a natural maze array, and the mountains and rivers are not enough to describe it, if it weren't for this note that Chen Chengyi temporarily drew to me, I believe that it would not be a strange thing for me and Brother Zhengchuan to get lost in the mountains.

Speaking of which, Chen Chengyi's picture is very simple, but a few key points are depicted very clearly, and along the way, I can feel that according to the footsteps of me and Brother Zhengchuan, I have walked into this mountain range that cannot be deeper, but there is no feeling of detouring at all.

In other words, what Chen Chengyi gave me was the nearest road.

I clenched the note in my hand, and a thought suddenly popped up in my heart, is Chen Chengyi very familiar with this ghost market?

"Third child, it's almost dark this day, how long will it take? This is not as dangerous as the mountain in front of our mountain gate, it is very adventurous to travel at night, if the distance is still far, we have to rest here for the night. Just when I was thinking about it, Brother Zhengchuan said something in my ear.

I looked down and lit the lighter, and by the faint light of the lighter, I looked at the note in my hand, and then at the mountain in front of me.

A little excitedly said to Brother Zhengchuan: "Let's not rest, we have crossed this mountain, and it is definitely that small plain." ”

"Plains? I don't believe that a plain will suddenly appear in the mountains. Brother Zhengchuan said, but he still walked with me on the mountain.

But I was becoming more and more curious in my heart, could it be that the ghost city is on that plain?
