228.Daxian Exploration Ruins (Earnestly Asking for Subscription)
The reason why Jiangshan Township is this name is because it is located on top of Jiangshan Mountain.
There are few people in the mountains, but an area is divided into townships, and there are not populated areas like Fulong Township and Torii Township.
Dading Village is a relatively large village in Jiang Mountain, it is located on the top of a mountain, the mountain is flat, as if it was obtained by the fairy and demon with a giant axe, the name of the mountain is called Dading, and the people who live on it call themselves Dading Village.
Wang Qilin walked all the way and shook his head again and again: "The life of the people in the mountains must be very difficult, and the business depends on going down the mountain, and this round trip is more than a day." β
Deng Xiaofei said with a smile: "Who said it wasn't? So the merchants who go to the mountains are very popular in the mountains, and the people in the mountains are fierce, but they never rob us, because they all know that once the merchants dare not enter and exit, then their lives will be even more difficult." β
Originally, he didn't want to go straight to Dading Village, there were still a few villages to go around during the period, but Wang Qilin and the others were in a hurry to see Zhou Xianren's performance, so he changed his plan and dragged them straight to Dading Village.
Wang Qilin couldn't help but want to give him double the fare.
Deng Xiaofei was very particular and said: "My lord is really a good official, but you don't need to worry about not going, this has not delayed my trip, and I will take this road on my return journey, and then I will go to these villages." β
Wang Qilin smiled and said, "When you arrive in Dading Village, you have to keep in mind, don't call us adults, don't reveal our identities." β
Deng Xiaofei clenched his fists and said: "Dare not obey orders!"
Walking along the rugged mountain road, before the morning sun rose in the air, they came to the entrance of a village on the top of a mountain.
Big Top Village.
The village was on the top of the hill, and the mule cart could not go up, so it stopped below.
When they arrived, several mule carts were parked at the foot of the mountain, and Deng Xiaofei was very surprised when he saw it: "Why did the big guys come to Dading Village today? Could it be that they know that there is a lively scene to see, so let's come to see the excitement together?"
Wang Qilin asked casually as he walked up the mountain, "Is that your car?"
Deng Xiaofei said: "Yes." β
Dadingshan is a big mountain, dozens of houses are built on it, and there are high mountains around it, if the mountains are like forests, then Dadingshan is a big tree stump that has been sawn off, and the people who live on the mountain are mushrooms growing on the tree stump.
There is only one path from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and after walking up, Wang Qilin stood at the head of the village and looked down, with only one thought in his heart: a road from ancient Huashan!
It's precipitous!
Life in a mountain village is extremely inconvenient, but the scenery is not to say, any place to turn around is a landscape painting.
Green trees and red flowers, swallows fly in all directions, there is a waterfall due north, standing on the top of the mountain and looking up, Wang Qilin couldn't help but sigh and said: "The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river!"
Xu Da began to talk as usual, and said with a smile: "Who is Zhao Xianglu?"
Shen Yi was stunned and asked: "Amitabha, I don't know about the Zhao incense burner, but there is a copper incense burner in our temple, and there is a porcelain incense burner in my master's meditation room......
"Don't say it, great monk, you must have been sent by the Buddha to get me. Xu Da said angrily.
Shen Yi asked with concern, "How do you get it?"
Wang Qilin ignored the two of them, and he said to Deng Xiaofei: "The scenery of this village is amazing. β
Deng Xiaofei smiled and said: "But if there is a choice, the people in the village would rather go to live in a city with a bad scenery, you see this place is very beautiful, but how can the people who live here have the heart to pay attention to whether it is beautiful or not? What they have to think about every day is how to eat and how to live." β
Wang Qilin nodded silently, in fact, it is not easy to live here to live to old age, he saw that some houses were next to the mountain, and when he came out at night, he urinated in a daze and stepped on the emptiness, that is a human life!
Dozens of houses are spread out, and standing at the entrance of the village, you can see the end of the village at a glance, so every move in the village is under their noses.
At this time, the door of the middle of the village was very lively, and hundreds of people were talking about it.
Some mountain people hurriedly walked out of their doors, and when they saw them, they happily came up to greet them: "Shopkeeper Deng is here? Oh, there's no hurry, let's go and see the excitement. β
Deng Xiaofei readily agreed: "Okay, ugly cow, doesn't your mother-in-law still want to pull a red cloth? I brought it to her." Oh, why do all the people in the village gather at the gate of the chief of the village?"
This was asked knowingly, but this was what Wang Qilin asked him to ask, so he had no choice but to ask this.
Wang Qilin asked him to ask this because he didn't want the people in the village to realize that their group already knew too many things.
Ugly Niu'er said with a smile: "The chief of the big security invited Zhou Xianshi to catch the ghost, his house is haunted, go and see." β
The crowd was invited to walk and into the crowd they saw a wooden house, where a couple knelt reverently, and a bald monk in a monk's robe was reciting sutras in a circle.
Wang Qilin was stunned: "What about Immortal Master Zhou?
Deng Xiaofei said as a matter of course: "Zhou Xianshi is a high monk, his skills were learned in a temple, and later there was something in the family to return to the world, but in the end he took refuge in the Buddha, but his father and mother didn't want to cut off the incense on him, so he wanted him to keep the common name." β
Shen Yi was solemn: "Amitabha, is there such an operation? The monk has to return to the vulgar, and my family's incense can't be broken, no, I have to return the vulgar, my village will live a male man, I am the hope of the whole village! But what is my surname?"
He scratched his bald head, but only scratched a handful of putty.
A villager said: "Yes, I heard that Zhou Xianshi had a fiancΓ©e before he became a monk, but in the end they were not together. β
Wang Qilin sighed: "The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to its promise." β
Hearing this, the monk in the room looked back at him in surprise.
After hearing this, a touch of sadness appeared on Xie Toad's face, and he said in a low voice: "The world is safe and perfect, and it is not up to the avenue." β
Wang Qilin also showed a difference, he looked at the old Taoist priest next to him, this is a story.
The onlookers and villagers talked a lot, and from their words, Wang Qilin got a lot of information.
For example, they didn't miss too many things, Zhou Xianshi only came to the village at night last night, and he set off two days earlier than Wang Qilin and the others, but when he passed through a village on the way, he found a mountain spirit, and it took him some time to leave the mountain spirit behind.
For example, the house of the chief of the Great Protector had been haunted a few nights ago, and last night Immortal Master Zhou came, and the ghost things immediately stopped.
Wang Qilin was puzzled by this, he sniffed and looked at the room carefully, but did not find any information about ghosts.
It stands to reason that he had awakened the god of nose and the god of eyes, and if there were ghosts in the house, he would not be unable to find anything.
After seeing it in the room, Immortal Master Zhou came out and said, "Amitabha, folks, let go, don't block the light of the early sun." Master Yin Ding, Yin's family, the two of you come out to bask in the sun. β
The two walked out and knelt down respectfully.
Someone brought a chair to Immortal Master Zhou, and after he sat down, he said in a deep voice: "The light of the early sun is a good thing, it has great wisdom and great power, let it take good care of you, especially the Yin family, you must let it take care of it carefully, let it dry the filth in your heart!"
Yin is a clumsy mountain woman, her waist is thicker than her belly, her face is dark, the pain of losing her son and being frightened by demons and evil spirits, and the torture of the past few days has made her almost mentally broken, and she has lost her soul a little.
Hearing Immortal Master Zhou's words, Yin raised his head in a daze and asked, "Ah, Immortal Master help, has this ghost entered my heart?"
Immortal Master Zhou's face sank, and he said sharply: "Amitabha, are you still obsessed to this day? You still have to hide it in front of the old man, it's really hateful! The old man is merciful, and he is grateful to God for having the virtue of a good life, and if you give you another chance, won't you take out the filth in your heart?"
Yin Shi was stunned, she said dazedly and timidly: "The immortal master is above, the Buddha is above, how can I take out the filth in my heart?"
Zhou Xianshi waved his hand angrily and said, "Amitabha, Amitabha, it seems that the female benefactor does not cry when she sees the coffin!"
"Let me ask you, how did Wu Yuan die?"
The voice of inquiry was loud, and Yin's body was shaken.
The people in the village looked at her one after another, and several people said: "I'll just say that the second lady died of grievances!" "She must have killed her!" "Don't speak, let the immortal master ask!"
Being scolded by Zhou Xianshi and being squeezed by the people around him, Yin suddenly cried: "Wronged, I was wronged! The second lady was not killed by me, she is a ghost! What about my uncle? Where is my uncle? If my uncle can prove me, she is a ghost!"
Zhou Xianshi said angrily: "You say she is a ghost, but there is evidence? Why did the old man see the unjust soul of the second lady last night, but she didn't tell me that?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers gasped.
"What did she say?" Xu Da said to himself.
Zhou Xianshi nodded at him and said, "Amitabha, what the old man heard from her was that Yin Ding picked up a county girl from the mountains and came back, this girl is beautiful and intelligent, and she is deeply loved by Yin Ding and the people. You are jealous in your heart, especially when you are about to give birth, you who have been mothers know that a woman's mood is the worst after pregnancy. β
"You liked to eat spicy food at that time, as the saying goes, sour and spicy girls, the people in the village said that you were pregnant with your daughter, and you were also worried that you were pregnant with your daughter. So you think, if Wu Yuan gives birth to a son after you give birth to a daughter, won't you be even more unfavored? Wouldn't Wu Yuan's status be even higher?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Xianshi showed sadness on his face: "Amitabha, evil is born on the side of the guts, after you gave birth to this thought, you teamed up with an old man to trick Wu Yuan to the ruins and pushed her down! Yes or no?"
"Say!"
The people were in an uproar, and many people shouted, 'That's right,' 'That's what I think.'"
Yin Shi howled and cried, "No, no! I'm afraid of that woman, no, she's a female ghost! I'm afraid she's a ghost, I see that she doesn't go to the ruins, guess she's a ghost who escaped from the ruins, that's why I'm afraid of the ruins, my uncle and I lied to her, and then, then, and then ......."
Speaking of this, her eyes straightened, her thick waist and hips gradually weakened, and she slowly sat on the ground.
"Then two ropes, one black and one white, stretched out from the ruins, one tied to her left foot and the other tied to her right foot, and a voice sounded from the ruins, saying, 'Jin Yao'er, you are a dead person, how can you escape from the Nine Shadows', and then Wu Yuan changed!"
An old voice rang out behind the crowd, and everyone stepped out of the way, revealing a strong old man.
The old man stepped forward and continued: "The second lady was tied with a black and white rope, her appearance suddenly changed, her neck was suddenly elongated, her tongue was stretched out even more, and her eyes were bloody and tears shouted 'I was wronged', 'I don't deserve to die'......"
"Wait, how long is her tongue sticking out?" asked Xu Da with concern.
The original tense atmosphere was suddenly broken by his words, and the old man and many villagers glared at him angrily.
Xu Dadao: "See what I do? My question is very critical, this woman's tongue sticks out for a long time, and then she can still speak? Try it yourself, stick your tongue out and say another word!"
"Uh-uh-uh!" "Whoa, whoa!" the crowd began to stick out their tongues and speak.
Shen Yi gave Xu Da a thumbs up in admiration: "Amitabha, Xu Ye's head is croaking!"
The old man exclaimed, "It may not be reasonable, but it is true! And the ghost's voice came from her belly, and it floated like a kite and wanted to float away, but in the end it was dragged into the ruins, and the eldest lady was frightened by this, so she gave birth prematurely, you all see, she gave birth on the way!"
Yin cried, "I was frightened, if I only murdered my sister, why would I be scared like this? Besides, I threw my leopard into the ruins! Do you know why? Because a few days ago when we were outside, the leopard suddenly stuck out its tongue and said in my ear, and he saidβ"
"Eldest sister, I'm back again! Can you still send me back to Huangquan this time?"
At this time, a few women and the old man nodded and said, "The little leopard is really strange, he suddenly stuck out his tongue and grew up." β
"It's so long. A woman gestured.
Immortal Master Zhou glared at several people and asked sharply: "Amitabha, have you really seen it?" You must know that the Buddha is with him, and if he speaks, he will go to hell with his tongue!"
Several villagers trembled with fright, and some knelt on the ground, but they were sure: "I really saw it!" "I did see it!" "The bright red tongue suddenly spit out, and it startled me!"
Xie Toad leaned into Wang Qilin's ear and asked, "They don't look like they're lying, what's the matter?
Wang Qilin shook his head slowly.
His judgment was consistent with Zhou Xianshi's judgment, thinking that it was the eldest lady Yin who murdered the second lady out of jealousy, but judging from the current situation, there are too many witnesses, and some of Yin's words do not look like lies.
Immortal Master Zhou was also like him, and became puzzled at this time: "Amitabha, is this matter serious? In this way, could it be that Wu Yuan's ghost lied in front of the old man?"
Hearing this, Wang Qilin's face was full of disappointment.
If there are demons and monsters who have come, there will always be a trace in the village, so that a group of them and two spirit beasts will not find anything.
Obviously, Zhou Xianshi was talking nonsense.
Knowing this, he sighed at Xie Toad and said, "What eyes do you have? This is a master?"
Xie Toad frowned and said, "At that time, I was a little far away, and I saw that he was full of energy, but now I look at him up close, and he seems to be really ordinary." β
Wang Qilin said: "But he still has a bit of brains, he found something strange about this matter, and is willing to uphold justice, so let's take an assessment to see if he can develop him into a small seal or something." β
Xie Toad shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, you see, he is very famous among the people, how can such a person be willing to make a small seal?"
Wang Qilin said: "I also wonder, in terms of his ability, where did he get his fame among the people? It all depends on fooling? The common people are so easy to fool?"
Xie Toad shook his head depressedly.
Immortal Master Zhou frowned with his back hand and turned around a few more times, and finally said in a deep voice: "Amitabha, the old man wants to go down to the ruins!"
He glared at Yin again: "If Wu Yuan is a human being and was killed by you, there must be her dry bones in the ruins." If Wu Yuan is a ghost, there must be nothing in the ruins, so I will go down and see what it is, and the truth will be revealed!"
Yin Ding, who had been trembling, shouted: "Master, the ruins are the entrance to the Yellow Spring, you don't want to go down!"
"yes, yes. The villagers persuaded hard.
Zhou Xianshi clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's verse: "Amitabha, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell?" Hugh wants to say more, the sky is good today, you go to the ruins with me!"
Wang Qilin said: "This senior monk is really old-fashioned, but he doesn't look like a person who is brave and daring." β
Xie Toad smiled and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, so the question comes, why did he go to the ruins?
It's useless to just guess, Wang Qilin beckoned: "Let's go and have a look." β
The people naturally had to follow to see, Deng Xiaofei saw a few peers, and everyone greeted each other when they saw it: "You came to see the excitement?" "You too?" "Someone specially informed me that there was a lively scene in Dading Village, so I came." β
The mountain merchants were smiling but dissatisfied in their hearts, Deng Xiaofei muttered: "Could it be that Dading Village deliberately made such a farce to attract us? β
The other mountain traders nodded approvingly.
The ruins are very close to the village of Dading, just below the cliff on one side, but the slope of the mountain is very steep, and you can only walk down one road, so you have to go around the mountain.
Originally, the road of a stick of incense would have taken them several times longer.
The trees under the mountain are luxuriant, mostly tall camphor trees, poplars, plane trees, mixed with chestnut trees, mountain jujube trees, etc., high and low, densely packed.
After Wang Qilin walked in, he found that the trees here were a little abnormal, and Xu Da and the others also noticed it: "It's not right." β
"What's wrong?" asked one of the mountain people walking with them.
Wang Qilin pointed to the leaves of the trees and said, "Why are the leaves red here?"
In late autumn, the leaves of some trees will turn red, such as maple, cochine, torch tree, etc., but there are no such tree species in the forest, such as sycamore, poplar, camphor tree leaves should be withered yellow.
The villagers were not surprised, and said: "Yes, we have a lot of trees on the mountains here, so it is said that the ruins are the entrance to the Yellow Spring, and there are all dead people below, and these trees have sucked the blood of the dead, so they turn red before they fall." β
Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad, and Xie Toad shook his head.
The people of the village, the merchants, and their group pulled a long snake formation into the forest.
Deng Xiaofei said kindly: "Brothers, don't leave the team, this mountain forest is quite strange, and sometimes you can't get out when you walk in alone." β
"There are ghosts inside, outsiders will definitely not be able to get out if they go in casually. A mountain man looked back and said.
Wang Qilin asked, "Oh, there are ghosts in there?"
The mountain people nodded heavily: "Yes, especially near the ruins, corpses will appear from time to time, hanged, beheaded, fallen, burned, ......"
"What? so many dead faces?" Wang Qilin was taken aback.
Wrong!
This is not what Deng Xiaofei said, he said that the forest near the ruins is full of hanging corpses!
He still wanted to ask in detail, but some of the mountain people turned around and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk about old wine, we're about to enter the red forest, what are you talking about?"
Everyone entered the forest, and Eight Meow suddenly came out and looked out.
Wang Qilin didn't care, he still wanted to get a word from the mouth of the mountain people, and then Eight Meow rushed out, it jumped to the ground and sniffed, and ran into the forest with vigorous steps.
He knew that Eight Meow had made a discovery, so he said, "You follow the team, I'll go see what's going on with Eight Meow, and I'll look for you later." β
Xu Dadao: "Seventh Master be careful. β
Wang Qilin waved his hand casually, and the two qi of yin and yang were released, and a small tree was cut off, and there was frost in the fracture!
This is the power of "Yin Yang Avenue"!
Seeing him coming, Hachimeow ran as fast as he could in the jungle, sniffling for a while and then continuing to run.
Wang Qilin followed it for a while, and suddenly found that there was no one around him!
Tall trees reach into the sky.
The lush canopy of trees shades the sky.
He's in a strange world!
Wang Qilin didn't look good, he stopped the eight meows and made a mark first, and the eight meows seemed to be difficult to control, and ran forward again.
"Eight meows, what's wrong?" he realized that something was wrong, and his mind tightened.
Eight Meow raised one of her front legs and pointed forward: "Meow Meow." β
Wang Qilin cautiously walked over and said: "Let you practice well and speak as soon as possible, you just don't listen, now it's okay, how do I know what you mean by meow meow?"
Ninety-six came out of his arms: "Six-six-six." β
Wang Qilin thought that it was to see himself talking to Eight Meow, so he was unwilling to be lonely and want to mix, but the truth was different from his guess, and Jiuliu also jumped from his arms.
The little milk dog is not as sharp as the cat, and after jumping off, it choked on the ground, and its buttocks and hind legs were cocked, and it really fell into a dog.
Ninety-six is very good at coquettishness, usually if such a thing happens, it must roll on the ground and scream, and never let go if it doesn't give it a kiss and hug and hold it high.
But this time it was different, it got up and chased after Eight Meows, and a cat and a dog drilled into a mess of grass.
Wang Qilin followed, and suddenly he seemed to feel something, as if someone behind him was secretly watching him.
This feeling can't be said explicitly, it belongs to the sixth sense, and this feeling of a pretty girl is especially keen.
He jerked his head back.
There was vegetation all around him, trees large and small, unkempt grass, vines wrapped around and hanging from the trees......
There are no figures.
He turned around and walked on, and the feeling returned.
The stout trees stood silently around him, as if there were people hiding behind each one, and whenever he turned around, they would come out and look at him quietly......
But he didn't have time to see what was going on behind the tree, by this time Hachimeth and Nine-Six had already burrowed into the grass, there must be something inside, and he entered with a knife while looking back and scanning.
The canopy of the trees obscured the sky, and although it was morning, the light in the forest was poor, and the shadows of the trees were everywhere.
The autumn mountain breeze blows the leaves and makes a crackling sound, which is annoying.
He walked a little slowly, and when he got into the weeds, he found that the grass was much deeper and wider than he had expected.
The figures of Eight Meow and Nine-Six are gone!
He hurriedly pulled open the grass to look for it, and shouted as he searched: "Eight meow, nine six, little baby, come out quickly!"
"Where are you going? Come out quickly, come out!"
"Your mother, if you don't come out again, Suisui Niangzi will have to fight dragon and tiger and still lack a cat! She still has to stew dog meat and lack a dog ......."
The weeds shook and shook, Wang Qilin pulled the knife sideways, and Eight Meow pushed away a bunch of grass and a black head appeared.
Seeing that Wang Qilin was so angry and scolded his mother, he went to pick up the skin on the back of his neck with a gloomy face and prepared to start practicing, but after he picked it up, he stretched out a fluffy fat paw and pointed to the grass next to him.
Wang Qilin took out the demon knife and swung it, the grass flew all over the place, and then a small clearing appeared.
Then he saw Ninety-Six digging in the clearing.
Wang Qilin dragged it back to take a closer look at the place, there was a lot of loose soil on the ground here, and the thick earthy smell entered his nose, he squatted down and pinched a handful of soil and tried it.
The soil is damp and cold, which was dug up in the ground just now.
The distribution traces of the loose soil are quite strange, like crescent moons, and the moon arc bends to the same center, which is where Jiuliu is planing.
Eight meows also landed and planed.
Seeing this, Wang Qilin knew that there must be something underground, so he went up and pinched the sword mark with both hands and dug it up.
Gradually, the earth dug a foot, and a purple-blue face appeared.
