Chapter 4: The Valley of Thunder

The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of a rooster crowing and all kinds of dog barking.

The countrymen woke up early, and most of them got up at this time, because there was no gas in this place, so the boiling water relied on firewood, which was very troublesome, so Tang Linlin and I also washed with cold water at will, and our faces were red from the cold.

When I woke up overnight, it was snowing in the mountains, and there was a thin snow of about two centimeters in the yard, and some children were trying to build a snowman, but the amount of snow was not large enough, so it was not successful.

The old man made us a breakfast, beckoned us to eat hot food, and wandered around after eating, until noon, Tan Jian's equipment arrived, he thought very thoughtfully, a total of four equipment bags, which are all mountaineering outdoor equipment, compared to the weight of the last time I went to the Yunnan-Burma jungle, this time the equipment package is much easier.

I opened the gear and looked at it, and it contained all the necessary equipment such as a rope for hiking, as well as a camera. Tan Jian said to the old man that we were from the photography team, and we had come to the mountains to explore and film, and gave the old man some running expenses, and asked him to lead the way and lead us to the place where their ancestors performed sacrifices.

There is no work in the winter, there is this thing to make extra money, the old man will naturally not shirk, put on a thick jacket at the moment, and began to take us to the mountains, while walking, he said: "Our place is partial, the mountains are connected one after another, and the outside are engaged in tourism development, but the development can't come here." When I was a child, I often heard stories from adults that there were many gods living in this mountain, and they could fly in the sky with swords......"

Tang Linlin answered with a smile and said, "I know, it's the Sword Immortal, right?" It's often on TV now. ”

The old man smiled and said, "No, I grew up listening to the stories of these ghosts and immortals." There used to be a road to the edge of the cliff, but then no one walked, and the road was obscured, and it was a little difficult to walk, so be careful not to fall. ”

I said: "Don't worry, you can't fall, it's the old man, you should be careful, we are not in a hurry, walk slowly." ”

The old man was in good spirits, and he didn't breathe, and said: "I have walked the mountain road all my life, and this is a little difficult for me." "This Longyin Ridge is actually a large and a small mountain range formed next to each other, climb up the small mountain, but also have to climb the big mountain, fortunately, I have exercised it in the past six months, and I don't feel tired, but I feel that the air is quite clear.

The old man was old and couldn't keep up with his physical strength, so he stopped and walked for more than three hours before we finally arrived at the edge of the legendary cliff.

At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were gray snow clouds floating in the sky, the sunlight was obscured by the snow clouds, which seemed very cold, and the surrounding stones and treetops were scattered with white snow. We stood on the edge of the cliff, the cold wind was whistling from afar, blowing Tang Linlin's long hair with the wind, and the cold and fresh air made people feel refreshed.

Standing high, you can naturally see far away, at the moment because of the cold and snow, everything around seems foggy, however, the scene under the cliff makes me feel magical.

This cliff is at least 100 meters high, and when you stand on the edge of the cliff and look down, the human instinct of fear of heights will come out, making people stiff and dizzy. Below the cliffs, there are large areas of green, dense forests, and lakes that appear and disappear from time to time stretch into the mountains in the distance, and there is no trace of snow in sight, and the space at the bottom of the cliff and above the cliff seems to be separated by an invisible cover, forming two climates.

The old man sat down to rest breathlessly and said, "When I was a child, I often came here to play." "People like to remember when they are old, and he doesn't care if we listen to it or not, he talks about some things when he was a child. At that time, the children were very bold, and they were used to being wild in the mountains, and at the age of seven or eight, they already dared to poke the honeycomb and fight wild dogs. Occasionally, he would run to this place with his friends and play a game of swinging.

What's the swing?

That's definitely something that today's children can't understand, and today's parents will never dare to let their children experience it.

At that time, there were many vine-like plants growing on the cliffs, long strips, hanging like green bands. They collected these vines, formed a rope about 100 meters long, fixed one end to the unknown tree next to the cliff for hundreds of years, tied the other end to the plank, and then hung the rope made of vines down the rope, the person slowly slipped down, and finally stood on the plank and swinged.

Since the length of the rope is long enough, after swinging, jump down, but the distance is more than two meters high, and then bathe and swim in the lake below.

Later, when the adults in the family found out, they were frightened, and beat a group of bear children so that they were not allowed to go again, and not only that, but they also cut down the swing they had worked so hard to make.

The old man recalled: "There are warm winters and cool summers, all kinds of mountain delicacies, wild mushrooms, wild fungus, big fat fish, pheasants, wild ducks, everything, more than other mountains, it is easy to catch." In the past, the food was not good, and the adults sometimes wanted to improve their lives, and they would also use vines to make ropes and go down to hunt game, and in the year of the Great Famine, thanks to the things under the cliff, we lived the lives of our village. ”

Tan Jian didn't listen to what the old man said, he observed the terrain by himself, nodded slightly: "Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one air outlet, Tibetan wind and qi, it is a treasure of feng shui, and the terrain is sinking as a whole, showing a trend of high in the west and low in the east, just like a natural greenhouse." ”

The old man was taken aback and said, "Oh, you still look at feng shui?" Legend has it that under this mountain cliff is the land of the gods, before no one dared to go down, for fear of angering the gods, and then the great famine, only then did people dare to go down to find food, but fortunately, the gods inside did not get angry. ”

Tang Linlin was happy and said, "Old man, you are a fairy, have you ever seen it?" ”

The old man saw that Tang Linlin was laughing at him, so he said: "Little girl, I am old, and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten." Come here, come here, I'll show you......" Originally, he was sitting on the stone next to him to rest, but now he stood up, grabbed Tang Linlin's hand, and walked to the edge of the cliff, a position where it is easy to have accidents if he is not careful, which startled me a lot, worried that his old man's feet would slip and fall into the fairy land.

But the old man was obviously used to walking in the mountains, and he didn't say anything about heights, but pointed to the green mountains in the distance and said, "Do you see those two mountains?" Passing through the forest under the cliffs, between the two mountains, is a valley. The valley has a name, and it is called the Valley of the Thunder. ”

I followed his line of sight, only to see that at the end of the line of sight, there were indeed two mountains, the Korean gas was steaming, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and the green mountains were half hidden and half appeared, and there was really a smell of immortal treasures.

Zhou Xuanye squinted his eyes and said, "Leaning on the mountains into a valley, old man, the people of your village, could it be that they have been to the valley over there?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "I haven't been there, I heard about it." At that time, the branch secretary of our village showed that at that time, the collective production, and the prey could also be exchanged for centimeters, he was not from our Qiaojia Village, he did not abide by the rules of the ancestors, and he went down to hunt, and he also looked at the depths, saying that the deeper the place, the bigger the prey, and the rabbit grew as big as a dog. You say...... Can a rabbit grow that size? ”

Tang Linlin touched her chin and said, "Maybe it's a genetically modified rabbit?" ”

"What genes?" The old man didn't understand a little, so he asked.

Telling this old man that GMO must not make sense, Tang Linlin immediately brought the topic over and said, "Nothing, nothing." Do you mean that the book led the man into the depths, into the valley? ”

"yes." The old man took back the conversation and said, "I heard that they were in that valley, and they saw the immortals, and there were many fairy birds, but they didn't go too deep, and the immortals got angry, and the sky began to thunder." You say it's not strange, the thunder is in the valley, lightning chased people everywhere, and I heard that two people were killed. Later, the branch secretary escaped with the others, and only then did he order that no one should be allowed to go down to hunt again. That's how the name Thundering Valley came about. ”

Immortal?

Fairy birds?

When my heart moved, could it be that I was a man in the door?

It's just that what happened to the thunder and lightning that this old man said?

Could it be that the person in the feather gate really can't spell?

ps: I woke up at noon and was caught by the children, let me accompany me for June 1st, and came back after dinner, the manuscript that just came out was hot......
