Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle of the Dragon
The thought of this possibility made me so frightened that I almost threw away the paper crane.
I don't dare ask for anything that the ghost has touched.
Miao Miao saw me like this and asked me what was wrong.
I told her my guess, but she didn't speak, took the paper crane from my hand and looked at it carefully a few times and said, "Don't worry, it's very clean, there is no obscure atmosphere, you put it away closely, maybe it will come in handy at some time." ”
After a pause, she said again: "As for whether Hong Qingsheng is a human or a ghost, it's hard to draw conclusions now, you calm down first, and then you will naturally know." ”
I nodded, and that's all I could do, putting the thousand paper cranes in my close-fitting pocket.
After that, Miao Miao drove back, and the speed was still very fast.
But halfway through, she stopped the car.
I was very strange and asked her what she was doing with the park.
Miao Miao pointed to a mountain in the distance and asked, "That mountain is Snake Mountain, right?" ”
I nodded as soon as I saw it: "Yes, that mountain is the highest mountain in Qinglong Town, Snake Mountain." ”
Miao Miao nodded and said, "Get out of the car, let's go climb the mountain." ”
"What?" I don't want to, climb which Menzi Mountain well, and now I still have back pain.
Besides, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and Snake Mountain looked not far from here, but it couldn't even walk to the foot of the mountain for an hour, and it was not open to traffic.
"Less nonsense, hurry."
Miao Miao saw that I was unhappy and glared at me.
I shrank my head, so I had to get out of the car obediently, picked a path, and walked towards Snake Mountain with Miao Miao.
Qinglong Town covers a very large area in Fengdu, which is a remote area, and its population and economy are not as good as those towns near the county seat. And the highest mountain in its territory is Snake Mountain.
Snake Mountain is not a lot of snakes on it, on the contrary, it is a stone mountain, and the vegetation is not vigorous, so there are no snakes. The origin of its name is because of its shape, meandering, extending from southeast to northwest, the upright spine is like a giant snake lying on it, and the mountain suddenly rises in the far northwest, forming the main peak of the snake mountain, the snake head peak.
What we are going to now is the Snake Head Peak.
It took me more than an hour to take Miao Miao to the foot of the mountain, and then climbed up a very narrow mountain path, which was rugged and very laborious.
I was tired and out of breath after climbing for more than half an hour, Miao Miao was slightly better, but she was also sweaty. We rested for a while, drank a sip of water, and continued to walk up, and it took more than half an hour to reach the peak.
As far as the eye can see, the mountains and villages near and far can not help but make people feel a sense of pleasure.
I sat on a rock, panting hard, and said that since I didn't play basketball after graduation, my health has deteriorated a lot.
Miao Miao seemed to be able to hold on, staring at the snake mountain and constantly looking into the distance, the mountain wind blowing her hair, revealing her pink ears.
After looking at it for a while, she asked me, "Do you know how the name of Qinglong Town came from?" ”
"Yes."
I nodded and said, "Snake Mountain winds like a coiled dragon, so it has the nickname of Qinglong, and it is the highest mountain nearby, so the town is named Qinglong Town." ”
This question can basically be answered by everyone in Qinglong Town.
Miao Miao turned her head and smiled slightly, and said, "Don't you think there's anything wrong with this, the name of Qinglong Town originates from Snake Mountain, so why isn't it called Qinglong Town, but Qinglong Town?" ”
I thought for a moment and said: "Qinglong Town is so imposing, Green Snake Town is too ugly, no matter whether it was before or now, don't you take the name well, the four-legged snake can call Jackie Chan." ”
"You have a point."
Miao Miao nodded, and then asked rhetorically: "So, why didn't Snake Mountain change to Longshan or Qinglong Mountain with Qinglong Town, wouldn't it be better to listen to, the best of both worlds?" ”
I was speechless for a while, and I felt a little strange in my heart, the name of Snake Mountain is really ugly, it is easy to think that the mountains are full of snakes, in the era of modern tourism and development, it seems very different. If it is changed to Qinglong Mountain, it will sound much better, and it will also have momentum.
"Perhaps, it's the reason for getting used to it?" I guess.
"Think with your head, not with your ass."
Miao Miao choked me unceremoniously and said, "For the same reason, why is there only one family surnamed Hong left in Hong Village, but the village has not changed its name?" It's not called Ma Village, Chen Village, or Chai Village, but it's still called Hong Village? ”
I was stunned, and after a careful taste, I tasted something.
The reason why Hongcun has always been called Hongcun is not that all the people in the village are surnamed Hong, on the contrary, the vast majority of the people in Hongcun are people with the surnames of Ma, Chai and Chen.
I heard the older generation of people say that Hongcun once changed its name, but after the name was changed, there were many strange things in the village, and people died one after another, and then an old Taoist priest came to the village, saying that the name Hongcun could suppress the luck in the village, and could not be changed, and the people of Hongcun did it according to the words of the Taoist priest in doubt, and it was really spiritual, and those strange things never happened again after changing it back.
Originally, I always thought that the three surnames were fighting with each other, so I couldn't change it. But after all these things recently, I suddenly had a gut feeling that the luck in the mouths of the older generation may be true.
Hongcun can't change its name!
In the same way, is it that Snake Mountain can't be renamed, and there will be accidents after it is changed?
As soon as I said this possibility, Miao Miao shook her head and said, "On the contrary, Hongcun cannot be renamed, but Snake Mountain is the name after the change, and its original name is called Qinglong Mountain." ”
"Won't it?"
I was surprised, how could Miao Miao, a person from Shennongjia, Hubei, know so much about the origin of Qinglong Town, so she asked: "You, how can you be so sure?" ”
Miao Miao didn't speak, but pointed to a hazy mountain far away from Snake Mountain, and asked me, "Do you know what place it is?" ”
I took a closer look and said, "Isn't that the old cat ridge?" ”
Lao Maoling is the second highest mountain in Qinglong Town, the mountain range occupies a larger ground than Snake Mountain, and unlike here, which is bare and full of stones, there are lush forests, inaccessible, and there is no guide to lead the way into the mountain.
The county has also set up a state-run forest farm there, which is used exclusively for important timber resources. Laoshan Mountain, where the Laoshan Temple is located, is actually the outermost remnant of Laomaoling.
Miao Miao stared at me and said slowly: "Old Cat Ridge is its current name, and it used to be called Black Tiger Mountain. ”
I was taken aback by Miao Miao's words, and my instinctive instinct told me that there was something wrong with this.
The dragon changed to the snake, the tiger changed to the cat, such a weak and imposing name change is obviously not in line with the aesthetic name change habit, it cannot be changed casually, there must be a reason. Can you imagine that Jiangxi's Longhu Mountain was changed to Snake and Cat Mountain?
"How do you know so much?" I looked at Miao Miao in a daze.
"When I came from Chongqing, I took some time to go to the Fengdu County Museum of Culture and History, and I looked up some information in it, and I found out." Miao Miao smiled mysteriously.
I grew up with a mouth, damn, Superman, this is, I touched the bottom of the two highest mountains in Qinglong Town after coming and going, you must know that this thing can't be found on Baidu.
I've lived here for twenty years, unheard of!
Miao Miao continued: "In the feng shui of Qimen, this kind of dragon and tiger opposition bureau is a typical game of great evil, the dragon fights the tiger, stirring the yin and yang of heaven and earth, full of evil spirit, if anyone settles up here, the end will definitely be a disaster, the wild ghost cries, is the great murderer of the great evil, it is not an exaggeration to say that the living are not close at all." ”
"So mysterious?"
I was shocked when I heard it, but what made me strange was that there were many villages next to and in the middle of Snake Mountain and Lao Mao Ling, so I asked why.
"That's why these two mountains were renamed." Miao Miao Road.
I came back to my senses and said, "Are you saying that changing Qinglong Mountain to Snake Mountain and Black Tiger Mountain to Laomaoling can suppress the luck here, and it can't be the same as Hongcun?" ”
"You can say that, but it's not that big."
Miao Miao nodded and said eloquently: "The dragon changes to the snake, the tiger changes to the cat, which can weaken the momentum of the two sides of the game, just like watering a bonfire, it can suppress the momentum, but it is not enough to completely reverse the whole situation, the dragon and the tiger are still fighting in secret, but the evil spirit is not on the surface, but underground." ”
I listened to it like listening to the book of heaven, I didn't believe in feng shui at all, but now I have experienced a lot of strange things, and I slowly believe in it, but I don't understand it at all.
But this doesn't affect my understanding of the dragon and the tiger, to put it bluntly, it's a fight between the gods, the dragon and the tiger are against each other, you run to the middle, don't you look for death.
Miao Miao said: "It must have been a long, long time ago, when someone changed the name of these two mountains and made other arrangements, completely suppressing the Dragon and Tiger Bureau, so that this place became a livable place." ”
"Who's that tough?!"
I listened to it with fascination, and this ability to change the sky is not an exaggeration.
Hongcun is just a small situation, changing the name can happen to one dead person after another, if it is enlarged to the entire Qinglong Town, it will not turn the world upside down?
"I don't know, there is no record at all in the Museum of Culture and History, but judging from some of the things he arranged, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is all over the world." Miao Miao shook her head and said.
I was shocked, looked at Miao Miao and sighed: "You seem to know a lot." ”
I suddenly found that Miao Miao, who has always been lively and even pungent, has such an intellectual side, and that eloquent demeanor makes me feel excited. suddenly found that three years had passed, and his understanding of her was so incomplete. There was an aura of mystery over her.
Miao Miao laughed self-deprecatingly: "Feng Shui is extremely mysterious, the difference is thousands of miles, ordinary people can enter the door in their lifetime, even if they are a great achievement, there are very few people who enter the house in ancient times, I just understand a little very superficial skin." ”
"That's pretty good, too."
I said something in my heart, and suddenly I felt that I was useless and didn't understand anything.
After a pause, I felt that Miao Miao couldn't have brought me to this place to discuss the history of Qinglong Town, right?
I asked her what she was doing when she walked and climbed all the way.
Miao Miao didn't answer me directly, but took out her mobile phone and swiped it a few times, then handed it to me and said, "Look at it, where is the middle of Qinglong Mountain and Black Tiger Mountain?" ”
I took it and saw a satellite map showing the locations of Snake Mountain and Laomaoling State Forest Farm.
I zoomed in on the middle and exclaimed, "Hongcun?!" ”
