We got off the train and stood on the streets of a foreign land thousands of miles away, facing this beautiful city, but we were not in the mood to appreciate it, so we hurriedly found a hotel to stay.

There is still a long distance between Lijiang and Kunming, and before going to Lijiang, we must buy all the items and equipment used in the treasure hunt in Kunming, and after a short rest, we began to buy equipment separately.

Kunming is worthy of being the provincial capital of Yunnan, the business is prosperous, the scope of business is very broad, we only took half a day to buy the required equipment completely, the whole two big bags, if you take these things on the plane, the security check will definitely not pass, so with the help of the innkeeper, hired a taxi, in the early morning of the next day, pulled us towards the direction of Lijiang.

The driver's name is Miao Jun, is a local, tall, bold personality, often pull some travelers back and forth between Kunming and Lijiang, along the way told a lot of local anecdotes, this is exactly what I want to know, through guò his explanation, I learned that among the 56 ethnic groups in China, Yunnan has 51, of which 15 ethnic groups are unique to Yunnan, such as: Pumi, Nu, De'ang, Dulong, Kino, etc., the regional ethnic traditional culture is very rich.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, but also comfortable, although the heavy responsibility is on the body, but maintaining a happy mood is still very conducive to this operation. In this way, after twelve hours, I finally came to the ancient city of Lijiang.

This is a famous historical and cultural city, with jurisdiction over one town and 14 districts. The ancient city of Dayan Town, the county seat, is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, with an urban area of six square kilometers, and there are Naxi, Han, Bai, Lisu, Pumi, Yi, Tibetan, Miao and other ethnic groups.

The ancient city is surrounded by Xiangmian Mountain in the north, Lion Mountain in the west, Wenbi Mountain in the south, and the green peaks are like a screen.

It is famous for not building a city wall, because the ancient Lidong hereditary Tusi surname wood, if the city wall is built, the wooden word plus the box becomes the word "sleepy", so the ancient city has no city wall.

Yuquan water gushes out from the black dragon pond in the northeast of the city, diverts along the street, walks through the alleys, clears the stream all the year round, there is the plateau water city style of the rising sun of every household and flowing water of every house.

When I entered the city, I was immediately infected by the quiet and elegant atmosphere, and my mood became very peaceful.

"What a piece of feng shui treasure!" Looking at the elegant environment around him, Uncle Li said loudly: "You see, here is the back of the mountains and water, the streams pass through the city, bringing infinite aura, it is really a living water flowing in front of the door, the people living here must be smart and beautiful, pure and kind, and after the matter of the fairy is solved, I really want to spend my old age here!"

"Yes, this place is so beautiful, even the stone slabs on the ground are so beautiful!" said Tiezhu.

"Well, this is a five-color slate made of Lijiang, gorgeous and simple, and it has been spread on the ground for I don't know how many years!" I sighed looking at the scenery outside the car.

"Okay, it's time to get to the place, the owner of the inn here is my friend, and I will definitely treat you well!" After Miao Jun finished speaking, everyone got out of the car and entered the hotel with their luggage.

At night, when the lights are on, this beautiful city is like a fairy tale world, I found a random restaurant, sat by the window, and enjoyed the night view of the city while tasting the local food. Pork fat, Yi Tuotuo meat, glutinous rice blood sausage, Lijiang baba, and then a pot of Lijiang cellar wine, so that we fully feel the local ethnic flavor, a few glasses of wine, I thought of Xian'er again, looking at the beautiful square street outside the window, how he hopes to walk in this street with Xian'er, enjoy this elegant night scene of a foreign land together.

"Brother, don't you miss Xian'er, don't be sad, we will definitely be able to solve her problem. Looking at my hesitant eyes, Tie Zhu immediately understood his thoughts.

"But...... Alas!" I let out a long sigh.

"Are you worried that if we delay for too long, then even if we help Xian'er unlock the spell, she will age a lot?" Uncle Li said in the middle, and I nodded helplessly.

"Don't worry, maybe there is hope, after this Jiazi talisman is unlocked, the person in the middle talisman will recover to that state, it is still uncertain, it is also possible to restore fù to the initial state, so don't think about it!" Uncle Li comforted.

"Well, I hope so!" I sighed again, and then slammed down a glass of wine, "Master, what are we going to do tomorrow?"

Uncle Li took out the map, "Look, let's get here here tomorrow first, along the Huainan Ancient Road, to see if we can find anything, and by the way, learn about the local customs!"

"Well, especially here!" Tie Zhu pointed to the map and said: "This area is the intersection of the ancient road and the Jinsha River, very similar to the place marked on the sheepskin map, I heard Miao Jun say that this is Duobao Town, most of the people living here are Mosuo people, they are very hospitable, if you need to live in the local people's homes." ”

"Well, okay, then let's go to this Duobao Town tomorrow to find out the situation!" After Uncle Li finished speaking, he raised his wine glass: "Come, for smooth sailing tomorrow, cheers!"

Huainan Ancient Road is the ancient trade route between Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet, because it is the silk of Sichuan and Yunnan and Tibet's medicinal materials trade, with camel gang transportation, located in Huainan, the name is Huainan Ancient Road.

The Huainan Ancient Road connects Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet, extends into Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and India, until it reaches the Red Coast of West Asia and West Africa, and is the world's longest ancient trade route, with a total journey of more than 10,000 miles.

As early as the Han and Tang dynasties, this ancient road played a role. Although the Huainan Ancient Road is magnificent, it is a journey full of hardships and dangers for the merchants who walked on the ancient road back then.

The southwest region has high mountains and rapid waters, and water transportation is unimaginable.

The steep twists and turns of the mountain road make it impossible to drive vehicles.

Under such conditions, merchants became the only suitable mode of transportation, which formed a unique scenery on the Huainan Ancient Road.

It can be said that the Huainan Ancient Road is a road that is trampled out by manpower and horses.

With the increasing development of modern means of transportation, most of the Huainan Ancient Road has been replaced by national highways, silently silent.

However, between some valleys and the edge of the foothills, there are still many traces of ancient roads, among which the valley between the two snow-capped mountains, one high and one low, in the north of Zhongao Town, is the most complete and most representative ancient road relics.

Walking in this valley, the surrounding mountains are all silent, the world is surprisingly quiet, the primitive beauty and natural beauty on this ancient road, it is very light and makes me forget the boundaries of time, even if a group of soldiers from the Qin and Han dynasties suddenly appears, he will take it for granted.

Uncle Li took out the map, looked at the surrounding environment, pointed to the highest mountain range in the north and said: "You see, the north of this mountain is the Jinsha River, and the south is this Huainan Ancient Road, and the treasure location marked on the map should be here." ”

Looking at the tall mountain peak in front of him, stretching for dozens of miles to the west, the top of the mountain is white, and it is clearly snow, if you look for a treasure in such a large territory, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, and now the only hope falls in those eight lines of poetry.

At this time, although I was anxious, but my mind was very calm, these days, he has been thinking about the meaning of the poem, but there is nothing new, after all, he has never been here, only in combination with the actual situation in the place, can I correctly understand the meaning of the poem.

"Alas, how can you find such a big place, master, what are your plans?" After several hours of searching, still not finding anything, Tie Zhu sighed and said.

From the verses, we can only speculate that the magic lamp is hidden deep underground, as for the peak, we can only slowly look for clues, but the dragons mentioned in the poem should be talking about the external environment, as long as we find one of them, we can trace the source and determine the specific location of the treasure. Uncle Li said.

"Yes, the master is right, but if we continue to look like this, it will be too slow, I think it would be best to ask the locals to see if they can provide some clues, even if it is some legends, it will be very helpful to us!" I continued.

"Okay, I'm also thinking about the best way to stay in a nearby village at night, I heard that most of the people here are Mosuo people, so they must be very familiar with the environment here!"

As soon as Uncle Li finished speaking, he suddenly saw a few people gathered on the mountain in the south, and he didn't know what he was doing.

The hills on the south side of the valley were far less tall than those on the north side, and they were hilly, and most of them had been cultivated by local peasants, but under a terraced field not far to my left, five or six people had gathered, and out of curiosity, they walked over.

Judging from the clothing, these are all locals, two of them are holding shovels and hoes digging holes under the first-class terraces, and there is an old man in the back, sitting on the ground holding a large jar in his hand, the lid of the altar is sealed with two yellow papers, judging from the strange characters on it, it should also be a charm, so what is it that is sealed in the altar? This makes the master and apprentice even more curious.

Seeing three strangers coming, a middle-aged man next to the old man immediately greeted him and asked in very non-standard Mandarin: "Are you here to travel?"

"Yes, we are here to visit the Huainan Ancient Road, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, what are you doing?" Uncle Li said very kindly.

The man looked at us again, and reluctantly squeezed out a few smiles: "You don't know, this is a tradition of our people!"

"Are you Mosuo?" I asked.

"Yes, we are Mosuo, and we live in that small village not far from the mountain!"

"Then you are ...... here"

"We are moving the grave, and that jar contains the bones of an elder of our family!" Hearing this, the three of them were very surprised, looking at their shocked expressions, the middle-aged man smiled again, and briefly introduced them to the tradition of moving the grave.
