"How do you say this?" it was Xiao Mufeng who was the first to speak this time, "The dragon is a legendary animal, why is there such an unrealistic animal on this earth-shattering mountain?"

Looking at Xiao Mufeng's look of disbelief, the old man smiled bitterly and said: "Little brother, in fact, I don't believe in dragons either, but we have regulations here, ordinary people can only climb up to the top of the sky at most, and can't go any further, even we, the villagers, are only allowed to go up a little more when collecting special medicinal materials."

"Then we can sneak up from the cupola. Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile on his face.

"No!" the stout mountain farmer next to him interjected, "There is a temporary hut next to the cupola, which is guarded by the strongest people in our village in turn, whether it is a villager or a traveler, as long as they do not have the permission of the village chief and Uncle Ah Liang, they will not be able to continue to climb at all." ”

"Why can't you continue to climb up, this mountain is not yours, why don't you let others go up?" Zhang Xiaohua blurted out these words, and after finishing speaking, he felt a little too impulsive, and looked at the four people in front of him a little nervously.

"Haha!" The four of them looked at Zhang Xiaohua's embarrassed face and smiled heartily, and the elder continued, "Little brother is right, in fact, our village was not like this before, after all, this mountain is not ours, we just rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, but someone set such a rule twenty years ago. ”

"Twenty years ago?Wasn't this rule very early?What about the legend about dragons?It also started twenty years ago?" Xiao Mufeng was still very curious about dragons.

"It's a long story! I'm afraid that the delay of the three little brothers is time. The old man looked at Chen Feifei and the three of them, who had already gotten up.

"We're not in a hurry, it should be too late to go down half an hour late. Right?" Chen Feifei's curiosity had already been raised, and he sat back in the pavilion.

"En!" Xiao Mufeng and Zhang Xiaohua nodded in agreement, and then returned to the pavilion.

"That's good!" said the old man, "since the three little brothers are so interested, I'll make a long story short, so that I won't delay the three of them in their appointment, and I can tell the whole thing completely." ”

The eldest mountain farmer took a water bag from his side, drank a few sips of water, and then began: "Our village is called Luofeng Village, and it is the only village around the Shocking Mountain. I don't know how long the legend of the dragon has been around, or if it has been passed down from generation to generation, but I don't know when it began. There was originally a legend of a dragon in this shocking mountain, and the Wolong Pond was named because of the legend that the dragon once slept peacefully in that pool. We in Luofeng Village have lived on this mountain for generations, eating it and using it, and there were many people who yearn to climb to the top of the mountain, because as long as anyone can successfully climb to the top of the mountain and pick the weeping grass, they will be immediately elected as the next village chief. But twenty years ago, a senior official came to our village, hoping to save his wife's life with the weeping grass on the top of the mountain. At that time, the best climber in our village was Uncle A Liang, who was only twenty-eight or nineteen years old at that time, and was in the prime of his youth and strength, so the next day, he set off with several of his good brothers. ”

"What was the weeping grass that day?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but interject.

"It is a medicinal herb, it is said that it can not only ward off cold and detoxify, but also revive half-dead people, but it is only found on the top of the Shocking Mountain, and that can only be found if you are lucky, and since that incident twenty years ago, this rare herb is now not available anywhere. The slightly emaciated mountain farmer replied helpfully.

When the slightly thin mountain farmer had finished answering, the eldest mountain farmer continued: "At that time, the wife of the great official was suffering from a strange disease, her whole body was black, and her appearance seemed to have changed a little, and she was left with only one breath left. I heard that even the imperial doctor of the Imperial City couldn't find out what the disease was, so he could only take some expensive medicine to prolong his life for ten days and half a month. Even if the official didn't say anything, we in Luofeng Village would try our best to help him find the Heavenly Weeping Grass, but five days later, Uncle Ah Liang and his brothers were found unconscious at the foot of the mountain, and the villagers thought it was strange at that time, and then took them all back to the village, and when they woke up, they hurriedly asked what had happened. As a result, Uncle Ah Liang said that he was the only one who went up to the top of the mountain, and none of his brothers went up, but at the top of the mountain, he met the dragon, as if the dragon had spoken something to him, and then he didn't remember anything, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in his own bed. Because of this strange thing, the weeping grass could not be found, and the wife of the great official also lived in the village for a few more days, and then her whole body rotted and died, and on the night of the death of the great official's wife, I still seem to have heard a terrible cry, and even now I think about it a little frightened. ”

The medium-sized mountain farmer obviously remembered it vividly, and couldn't help but say, "Yes! That cry was really terrible. ”

"And it was so loud that almost the whole village heard it!" added the slightly emaciated mountain farmer.

Hearing that someone started to interject again, Xiao Mufeng couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Then what does this have to do with not being able to go to the top of the mountain now? And what this eldest brother said Uncle A Liang touched the dragon, and I don't know if it's true or not." Can you please ask the eldest brother to continue to finish speaking. ”

The old man also smiled and said, "Hehe! I've delayed the three of you for a lot of time! Okay! This time, I'll finish talking in one go, and none of you are allowed to interject!"

Looking at the few people who had just interjected and nodded, the old man said again: "Now it is forbidden to go up the rooftop!" In fact, it is what the senior official said, when his wife died, he was grief-stricken, and Uncle Ah Liang encountered a dragon on the top of the mountain, which was unbelievable, so that the senior official thought that it was our village that failed him, and he presented a book to the imperial court, saying that it was our Luofeng Village that occupied the mountain of the imperial court and wanted to take the mountain for himself. After this book was submitted, the court's attitude towards us was still relatively lenient, and no one was imprisoned, but only sent someone to seal the mountain and forbid us to go up to the mountain. However, those of us who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, after being sealed off the Shocking Mountain, many of us left our hometowns and went to the Shocking City. At that time, when the prefect in the earth-shattering city learned of this, he hurriedly presented several copies of the book to the imperial court to intercede. It was not until the second year that the imperial court ordered that anyone should be forbidden to go up to the place above the cupi, and at that time it also sent officers and soldiers to guard the rooftop, but later, the court was too lazy to take care of it, and in the end, the guards were taken over by the villagers of Luofeng Village. ”

Seeing that Chen Feifei and the three wanted to speak again, the old man raised his hand and said: "You may ask if the dragon that Uncle A Liang said is true, in fact, our whole village knows that Uncle A Liang never said anything panicked, but that incident was so bizarre that the whole village couldn't believe it at that time, but why several people were in a coma at the entrance of the village overnight, and there was no way for people to explain it clearly, so they could only half-believe it." It wasn't until half a month later that Uncle Ah Liang inadvertently turned out a strange stone from his pocket. It's called a strange rock because it's so cold, even in a very hot summer, it's always very cold. A long time ago, the ancestors who had climbed to the top of the mountain also brought a stone like this, and I heard them say that this kind of stone can only be found in the dragon's eye cave near the top of the mountain, but the previous stone had completely turned into a puddle of ice water thirty years ago. Therefore, later, basically the villagers believed that what Uncle A Liang said was true. ”

"Then is this strange rock still in your village now?" Zhang Xiaohua was always so curious about strange things.

The old man nodded and said, "It's still there, in Uncle A Liang's house, every summer when it's the hottest, there will always be people in our village who go to Uncle A Liang's house to escape the heat." ”

Hearing that the stone was still there, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said happily: "Great! I want to go and see it!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's happy appearance, Xiao Mufeng hurriedly grabbed him and said to the four mountain farmers in front of him: "I see, it seems that this shocking mountain will not be able to go to the top of the mountain in the future, but I am now starting to be curious about this dragon." I have time to go to Luofeng Village another day to have a look, but I don't know if Uncle Ah Liang is willing to show us the stone?"

"Hehe, don't worry, Uncle A Liang is very hospitable. The stout mountain farmer laughed.

"Yes, you will come to Luofeng Village then, and we will treat you well!" the old man nodded.

Chen Feifei got up and hugged his fists and said: "Then let's thank a few big brothers here! It's not too early, me and the two brothers should also go down the mountain! We will meet later!"

"There will be a date later!" the four mountain farmers also stood up and said to each other.

After saying goodbye to the four mountain farmers one by one, Chen Feifei and the three began to descend the mountain.
