Chapter 38: Searching for the Dragon's Vein (I)
Monk Shidi should be older than Liu Laodao, about sixty-seven or eighteen, but he has a kind face and a feeling of being a monk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shi Di's method is very simple, but whether the result will have an effect is unknown.
In the land of China, the origin of the dragon vein is in Kunlun Mountain, but the place of reproduction is not there, the earth veins rise and fall, and the dragon veins are countless, but the place where each dragon vein is located is related to the local feng shui layout and the life of the people. And the place where the dragon vein was born must be in a sparsely populated place, without the disturbance of the world and the intervention of various spirit animals. Only in such a place can the dragon vein have a chance to be born. And Master Shi Di happened to know the place where the dragon vein was born, and in his words, although that realm was dangerous and abnormal, there would definitely be a dragon vein to recuperate here.
"Do you really want to do what the poor monk thinks? You should think about it, this road is full of difficulties, but the risks are really not small. Master Shadi said to everyone while clasping his hands together.
"Bald, don't talk nonsense, clean up, we'll go!" After listening to Master Shi Di's words, Liu Laodao rolled his eyes widely, and then spoke.
The others were not like Liu Laodao, but Master Yu Shidi chatted enthusiastically about the matter of going this time.
"Master Shidi, where are we going this time?" Jianjun tiptoed over to Master Shi Di and asked.
"In the south of Shu Kingdom, Qianwei County is Nan'an County." Master Shidi replied in a low voice.
Sichuan is Sichuan, but it is not said that Shu is anything. Jianjun couldn't help but think of it after listening to Shi Di's words.
Everyone studied the matter of going here, and then they all prepared to go.
In a double bedroom, Liu Laodao and Yu Jianjun sat opposite each other.
"You can go back tomorrow, you can't help if you go, it will only add to the chaos." Liu Laodao said to Jianjun, who was sitting opposite him.
"Okay, you, at such an age, I can't go to your legs?" Jianjun said in a somewhat mocking tone.
"There are a lot of people this time, we old guys have our own skills, you are a little hairy boy, I gave you all the skills, and I can't help if you go!" Liu Laodao said with a glare.
"Don't you look at it, how old are you, the youngest is in his fifties, if you don't take me, can you do it yourself?" After Jianjun finished speaking, he was a little angry and lay directly on the bed.
"Hey! The wings are stiff and don't listen to me? Liu Laodao saw that Jianjun was a little angry, and his tone became a little more tactful.
"It's as if I had heard of you when my wings weren't hard." Jianjun closed his eyes as he spoke, and fell asleep.
Liu Laodao looked at Jianjun, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but his breathing was slightly short, and shook his head helplessly. For his apprentice, he really can't help it, although it is nominally a master-apprentice relationship, but he has never performed the gift of master and apprentice, for Liu Laodao, this apprentice might as well be said to be his own year-old friend, more precisely, Jianjun is already his only relative.
Three days later, Ebian County, Sichuan Province, Yi Autonomous Region.
This is a small county town, before coming here, Jianjun had never heard of such a place, very backward, most of the houses are wooden structures, only the lights of the two streets in the county can see that this is a county seat.
At this time, after more than ten hours of trekking, Jianjun and Liu Laodao finally came to the county government of this county, because they came to this county for the reason of scientific investigation by the scientific expedition team, so everyone received a very high standard reception, and the county magistrate directly came forward to feast everyone.
"County Magistrate Hu, is this Heizhugou really as evil as you said?" Liu Laodao sat at the dining table and asked County Magistrate Hu while eating the local specialties on the table.
County Magistrate Hu said that he was the county magistrate, but he didn't have any official spirit that an official should have, and he looked very simple on the outside, like an amiable neighbor uncle, with a strong Sichuan flavor in his accent.
"Don't believe it, I've lived in Ebian County all my life, and although I haven't seen those unbelievable things with my own eyes, they must definitely exist." County Magistrate Hu said in a thick accent.
"You haven't seen it yet, how do you know it exists?" Jianjun asked curiously.
"When my father was young, he was a person who ran to the mountains to collect medicine, and at that time he ran into the black bamboo ditch every day, the black bamboo ditch was very large, more than 300 kilometers, and there was everything in it, not only precious Chinese herbs, but also a lot of wild animals, this is nothing, my father saw bears, wolves, and firewood in it when he was young! There are also big birds, big birds, whose wings can be five or six meters long! And the savages, and the talking foxes! County Magistrate Hu took a sip of wine when he said this, and then glanced at the attentive people who were listening before continuing to speak.
"When I was a child, I knew that one year there was a company of troops in the Kuomintang that disappeared directly from Heizhugou. I remember this very clearly, there were a lot of Kuomintang soldiers who came at that time, searched for a long time but did not find them, and finally took dozens of people, and they disappeared for no reason, no one alive, no corpse dead! ”
"In such an evil place, how can your father still go inside to collect medicine?" Jianjun interrupted County Magistrate Hu's words curiously, and everyone was also very puzzled, so they didn't mind Jianjun's impolite behavior.
"Hey, my family was poor at that time, I didn't have the last meal, and I had many brothers and sisters, so my father could only go there to plan, and my father would never go deep there, just put some wild things in the peripheral areas and pick some herbs."
As if recalling the hard days when he was a child, County Magistrate Hu stopped after talking for a while, pondered for a long time and continued.
"Actually, I really don't want you people to go inside, but since it is an order from above, I will definitely actively cooperate, rest first tonight, and wait until tomorrow I will find two old hunters and mountain runners to accompany you in!" After County Magistrate Hu finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to eat wine and food.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the sky has also darkened, and there are already some slightly drunk people in the whole Ebian County under the leadership of the county magistrate Hu to the best guest house in the whole Ebian County, said to be a guest house, in fact, it is a few small brick houses, but fortunately, the things used in it are complete, although some simple, but fortunately clean and tidy.
At night, it was obviously the weather in June, but Jianjun felt the slightest chill, probably because he was in the mountains, Jianjun didn't think much about it, but turned around and fell asleep peacefully.
Late at night, the sun shines in the courtyard outside the room, a big black python is spitting out the core of the moonlight, the python is very large, with a bucket-like waist, and a length of nearly ten meters, but if you look carefully, you will find that this python has no shadow at all, if the Jianjun at this time looks at it, you will find that this is exactly the same as the chief of the horse next to Jianguo, but it is several times bigger!
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the people in the room are also sleeping deeply.
