"Zhang Zhanning!"

Long Xiaoman didn't know when, he had already dressed and walked downstairs, and when he saw that there was something wrong with her eyes looking at me, I remembered that she had explained before that she couldn't tell others about the two black and white shadows, so I didn't continue.

I looked at the big clock hanging on the wall, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, and asked Xiaohui, "Do you want to leave now?" ”

Xiaohui nodded, "Can't delay, let's leave immediately, we'll drive over, and we'll be there tomorrow morning." ”

When I turned around and closed the door, I saw those "people" in white robes appearing in the hall cleaning the house, and one of them looked up and smiled at me with his faceless face, and I shuddered and hurriedly closed the door.

On the road, Xiaohui was driving, Long Xiaoman was resting in the back seat, and I sat in the passenger seat and chatted with Xiaohui with a ride.

Xiaohui was born white and pure, he should be younger than me, and he doesn't have the arrogant demeanor of being born into a big family like the headphone brother and Long Xiaoman, but he looks very down-to-earth, chatting about games, women, and gags, just like an ordinary big boy.

He told me a lot of strange things, including some strange things, and I suddenly remembered that when I had just left the village, I had met a tree spirit, and the little fat man was very nervous.

I asked Xiaohui who was more powerful than the spirit or the ghost.

Xiao Hui said that this is not good, it depends on whose cultivation is higher, but generally speaking, most of the spiritual creatures that can become spirits are not weak, because the process of cultivation will be very long.

I asked him again if the tree spirit was strong.

Xiaohui nodded and said Of course, compared to animals, the conditions for plants to become spirits are very harsh, and in addition to a long time, they must also have a variety of chances with a small probability.

After listening to this, I nervously told him about the fact that I had met a tree spirit, and he waved my hand so that I didn't need to be nervous, "Don't worry, the spirit is the same as people, there are good people and bad people, and there are more ordinary people, you can still live when you meet the tree spirit, which means that it doesn't mean to hurt you, maybe it's just a passing tree spirit." ”

When it came to the matter of spirits, Xiaohui seemed to be particularly interested, and began to talk endlessly, and told me an interesting story: when his grandfather was practicing in the mountains when he was young, he once became friends with a ginseng essence.

Once, his grandfather was practicing in a thatched hut when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a little boy wearing a red belly pocket and braids.

It is said that this little boy was born white and white, and he was called a beautiful one, and he begged his grandfather for food when he opened his mouth.

When his grandfather saw that the little boy was born beautifully, he hurriedly took out some fruit, but the little boy didn't even look at it, and asked if there was any meat to eat.

The little boy not only eats meat, but also drinks, and his speech and behavior seem very old-fashioned, and he does not look like a little boy at all.

After eating and drinking, the little boy left, but he did not expect to come again the next day to beg for wine and meat, and his grandfather was bored alone in the mountains, so he had such a little boy as a companion to pass the time, so he gave him a warm welcome.

From then on, the little boy would appear on time every day as soon as it was dark, and the two would get acquainted with each other.

One day, when the little boy saw his grandfather's sad face, he asked what was the matter.

His grandfather sighed: "I have been practicing here for two years, but I have not grown at all, if I continue like this, I will definitely disgrace my family, and in a few days, it will be the day I go down the mountain, and I really don't know how to face my family." ”

The little boy stopped, patted his chest to indicate that this matter was wrapped up in him, and pulled off a few hairs before leaving, asked his grandfather to wrap it in a red cloth and put it at the head of the bed, and told him to open it again when he was on the third watch, and then he would know what was going on.

After the little boy had eaten and drunk enough to leave, his grandfather looked at the red cloth package wrapped with a few hairs in confusion, and when he opened it on the third watch, he found that there were several half-foot-long ginseng whiskers wrapped inside!

His grandfather was stunned at the time, ordinary ginseng, generally growing to half a foot is rare in the world, but these ginseng whiskers are half a foot, so if you infer it, such ginseng is at least two feet!

After chewing and swallowing those ginseng whiskers, his grandfather really felt refreshed, and the bottleneck that had not been broken through for a long time was also broken through at dawn, and his skills increased greatly.

At this time, his grandfather had already guessed that the child must be a ginseng essence in human form, and in the face of the great temptation, he couldn't help but think crookedly.

That night, while drinking with the little boy, he quietly hung one end of a very long red thread on the little boy's lap.

At dawn the next day, he followed the red line all the way out, and sure enough, in a huge rock crevice, he dug up a giant ginseng plant that was two and a half feet long!

"A two-and-a-half-foot mallet!"

I exclaimed, although I don't know much about this aspect, but I also know what the concept of two-foot ginseng is, such a big mallet, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can be brought back to life, it is simply a divine thing!

I asked, what happened to your grandfather after eating this ginseng?

Xiaohui sighed softly, smiled bitterly and didn't continue, as if there was something unspeakable.

About five hours later, we entered the territory of Liangshan Prefecture, where the mountains are undulating, the terrain is very complicated, and the speed of the car cannot be increased at all, until it is almost noon, and we have a bumpy road to a small county town next to Xiaoxiangling.

We ate something locally and inquired with the locals about the situation in Xiaoxiangling by the way.

The locals were very enthusiastic and told us a little about Xiaoxiangling, but when they heard that we were going to the top of the mountain, they became distracted, as if they were evasive, and refused to ask any questions.

In the end, we had to go to Xiaoxiangling on our own, because the road was not familiar, we tossed for several hours, the car could not drive into it for a long time, and it was not possible to go along the way, and it was not easy to reach the foot of Xiaoxiangling.

It was already afternoon at this time, and when I looked up, I saw that the peak was so high that I couldn't see the top of the mountain from below.

It was surrounded by trees and vines, and I didn't know where to go up the mountain.

Luckily, after we walked around the neighborhood, we were delighted to meet an old Yi man carrying a bundle of firewood on his back.

"Old man!" I hurriedly ran over to say hello, and the old man saw us, put down the firewood on his back, and asked us what was the matter.

"Old man, it's like this, we are college students, we came here to explore, can you tell us the way up the mountain." As I spoke, I handed him a cigarette and kindly lit it for him.

The old man took a puff of cigarette, his face was a little pleasant, and after looking at us, he said, "You are wrong, this is the back mountain, the scenic spot is in the front mountain, and there is a shuttle bus directly to the scenic spot in the county." ”

I said we don't go to the scenic spot, we want to go to the top of the mountain, can you ......

"No, no, no!"

The old man didn't wait for me to speak, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can't go to the top of the mountain, you little dolls, just go to the scenic spot to play." ”

With the previous experience, I knew that he would have this reaction, so I hurriedly smiled and handed over cigarettes to say good things, and stuffed the remaining half of the pack of cigarettes to him, "Old man, is there any taboo in this mountain, can you tell us?" ”

Xiaohui also came up to help, his eloquence is much better than mine, after a period of soft grinding and hard bubbles, the old man sighed, glanced at the top of the mountain and said, "This mountaintop, I can't go!" ”

Then he told us about the situation of Xiaoxiangling, which in the Yi language is called "Hungry Er'e", which means the peak of ice and snow infested by the dragon, and is a sacred mountain in the minds of the local Yi people.

Legend has it that there was a dragon here in the past, and this dragon was very capable and very brutal, which made the local people miserable.

Later, it was defeated by a great hero of the Yi tribe and trapped it in the mountain with a spell, so that it could stay in the mountain forever and not come out to do evil.

But the great hero's mana is limited, he was not able to kill the evil dragon, although the evil dragon can not go down the mountain to do evil, but it is also brutal in the mountain, if someone enters the mountain without permission, it will go back and there is no return, when an army of the Kuomintang was ordered to go to the mountain to carry out a secret mission, but none of them came out.

Since then, this mountain has become a taboo in the hearts of the local Yi people, and the scenic spot developed in the front mountain is only at the foot of the mountain, and they dare not continue to go up at all.

I asked the old man if he could show us a way up the mountain, and the old man shook his head again and again, "You little dolls, I told you to go back, hurry up and go home, this is not the place you should come." ”

After that, he picked up the firewood and prepared to leave, and it would be useless for me to say anything.

At this time, Xiaohui suddenly showed a wicked smile, let's wait for him for a while, and he will come when he goes.

After saying that, he chased in the direction where the old man had left, and after a while, he saw him and the old man walking back talking and laughing.

"The old man promised to show us the way, and he could also give us a guide and give us a ride." Xiaohui said proudly.

I wondered for a while, I just said all the good things, and I almost knelt down and kowtowed, this old man was indifferent, why did Xiaohui use so much effort to make the other party compromise, and he was smiling and wanted to show us the way?

Long Xiaoman and I looked at each other, but Xiaohui was so mysterious that he refused to tell us how he said about moving the old man, and attributed everything to his personality charm, which made Long Xiaoman roll his eyes directly.

The old man told us to wait for him in the same place, saying that we were going to prepare something, and after a while, we saw him coming with a big rooster in his arms.

I saw him casually folding some branches beside him, chanting words that sounded like the spells of the Yi people, inserting those small branches into two rows on the ground, and finally touching the rooster's head with his hand, and placing the chicken between the two rows of branches.

The old man continued to chant the incantation, and after a while, when he heard the rooster whining, he staggered and walked forward.

The old man looked at the chicken and said, "Follow the chicken, it will take us up the mountain." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the little fat man's little spell!

But the little fat man is a hungry ghost, and he also uses the spell of the hungry ghost road, how can this old man use it, is it possible......
