Chapter 442: Old Mountain
The next day, the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the mid-year festival, light rain.
At noon that day, Xu Fulong and I had already appeared in the old mountain in the south of Ditai City.
The mountain is called 'Old Mountain', and it is such a name by word of mouth, and later generations have not given it a more pleasant name.
Xu Fulong's car stopped outside the mountain pass, and the two of us wore raincoats and walked into the mountain.
The environmental protection is very good, the eyes are all ancient trees with a height of more than ten zhang, there are many rare tree species in this old mountain, it is a first-class protection area, not to mention that the emperor platform is in the mountain, therefore, the protection of this place is very large.
Even if it rains lightly, there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the mountain road, today is the folk ghost festival, many people enter the mountain, want to burn incense and candles in front of the emperor's platform to pay tribute to the ancestors, and pray for the blessing of their family by the way.
No one dared to climb the stone steps to the high platform to worship, that was something that only ancient emperors were qualified to do, and it was not a taboo.
At most, the people gathered around the emperor's platform to burn paper and incense, and place sacrifices.
After listening to what Xu Fulong said, I was very suspicious that the reason why the crew disappeared mysteriously was related to this emperor platform dozens of feet high.
You must know that in order to film, Xu Fulong put on the emperor's crown dress and climbed to the sky to worship the sky, which is a taboo event.
But for the sake of the plot, I had to make such a play.
After that, Xu Fulong dreamed of a plane crash, and immediately after, the crew was collectively evil.
If the strange incident has nothing to do with the Imperial Tower, then I don't believe it.
All the way into the mountain, I met several patrol teams to check the identities of the people who entered the mountain, it seems that these people are not ordinary patrols, and they are investigating the disappearance of the crew.
Xu Fulong and I were not spared, as a ten-man patrol blocked us on the mountain road, revealing our identities and then demanding that we be checked.
At no end of the day, Xu Fulong and I handed over some documents.
The middle-aged bearded man in the lead took it, checked it with an electronic instrument, and at a certain moment, his eyes moved, and then, his eyes stared at me hotly.
I was stared at uncomfortably, embarrassedly touched the corners of my mouth, squeezed out a hard smile, looked at the cheeks through the drizzle and said, "But what's wrong?" ”
"No, no, but, dare to ask, are you the Jiang Du in the Scoop Mountain Water Paradise?"
As soon as the bearded middle-aged words came out, I immediately understood, smiled and said, "Is Brother Guo Yu okay?" ”
I didn't answer him directly, but this rhetorical question says it all.
"Okay, Guo Tou'er is very good, it turns out that it is really true...... Mr. Du, who has admired his name for a long time, dares to ask, but because of the missing crew, he entered the mountain?
The beard asked tentatively.
He originally wanted to call Du Zhenren, but temporarily changed his name to Mr. Chengdu, and I expressed my understanding.
I didn't answer, but turned my head to look at Xu Fulong, and then smiled at Luo Fulong's beard.
Now that they have checked their identities, of course they understand who Xu Fulong is, the crew is missing, only Xu Fulong is still there, and I came here with Xu Fulong, which already explains the problem.
"Great, Mr. Youdu has helped me with my help, and I believe that I will be able to find the whereabouts of those people soon. My name is Feng Luoyin, this is a business card, Mr. Du, you can check, if you need anything, call here, we will fully cooperate. ”
Hu Feng Luoyin handed me a business card with both hands.
I didn't want to take it big, so I stretched out my hands to take it and carefully collected it, but I made up my mind in my heart that I wouldn't shout at them unless I had to.
This kind of thing, it's better for mages to deal with it, they are indeed elites and talents, but they have a specialization in the art industry, and they can't handle this kind of thing.
After a few casual pleasantries, they let them go.
The ten people looked at me with awe, and to be honest, I was a little uncomfortable, and I was not used to it.
There are many tourists who enter the mountain with umbrellas or raincoats, and most of them carry rainproof bamboo baskets or something, with incense and offerings inside.
These are all rushed to the vicinity of the Emperor's Terrace to worship, and the rain can't stop their enthusiasm, it's really lively.
"Brother Du, why did those people give you face just now?"
Xu Fulong approached me and whispered questions.
"Maybe it's because I'm handsome, right?" I responded perfunctorily.
"And." Xu Fulong muttered dissatisfiedly and stopped talking.
In the distance, you can see a high platform of dozens of feet, like a building located in the deep mountains.
How old is this high platform? Some places are mottled and missing, but they are still standing.
In those days when there was no reinforced concrete, how did such a sturdy building be built?
Whenever I see such ancient ruins, I am amazed by the wisdom and ability of the ancient people.
The high platform with a side length of more than 20 meters sits in the north and faces south, and the oblique side is built with stone steps, stretching upwards to the top, and the top is where the emperor worships heaven and earth.
Not long ago, the emperor played by Xu Fulong made a sacrifice to heaven and earth on it, and disaster came soon after.
It can be seen that the taboo of not stepping on the top of the high platform at will is actually very reasonable. Only the emperor is qualified to come to the high top.
Although Xu Fulong's numerology is expensive, he is not far from the emperor's level? doesn't have that kind of qualifications, but you have to go up, it's strange if nothing happens.
muttering these things in his heart, of course he can't say it, otherwise, wouldn't Xu Fulong's face be lost?
We walked to the north side of the high road, where there were fewer people, most of them knelt down on the high platform on the south side, and then burned the paper money ingots. With an umbrella in hand, don't worry about not catching fire.
I looked up at the high platform and was full of praise.
"Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet, and under the high platform, I feel small."
As soon as I felt this, I inexplicably remembered the Demon Vein True Body of the Ghost God Emperor, which was more than 400 meters high, and suddenly felt that the high platform did not seem to be so majestic.
Xu Fulong also looked up, and suddenly turned his head to me and said: "Brother Du, this high platform is not something that ordinary people can climb, I ran to the top a few days ago to play the emperor and held a ceremony to worship the sky, did I violate any taboos because of this, so that the crew suffered?" ”
Xu Fulong thought of this in the end.
"You also know how many pounds and taels you sink, right? Why do you have to go to the high stage to film? With today's technology, it's a piece of cake when you perform a ritual of worshipping the heavens on the flat ground and then synthesize the high platform under your feet with a computer. ”
I withdrew my gaze, wiped a handful of rain from my face, and said coldly.
"Brother Du, isn't this striving for excellence? The last horror movie, because of the lack of care, the audience didn't buy it. This time, the Xu family's investment is far greater than last time, I thought, I don't need a stand-in for live shooting, I don't want to, I finally dedicated myself once, but I caused such a disaster, it's really ....... ”
Xu Fulong's eyes were annoyed, and he couldn't say any more.
