Chapter (140): Two Mysterious Hidden Words

As for the other five peaks, there is no definite statement, and it is estimated that only after seeing them for yourself may be able to truly understand the true meaning of their strange hidden words.

It should be related to the actual shape of the mountain, or there is a certain secret agreement in the feng shui pattern, or there is some peculiar temple and Taoist temple and other historical buildings on it. When this comes to the front, it shouldn't be difficult to figure out.

The other phrase is a bit confusing, and it sounds like some kind of religious saying. Seven Star Mountain (Seven Punishment Mountain): Linglong woman, female Linglong, seven punishments and nine tricks are exquisite. Xiao Qingfeng thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure out its true meaning.

However, in some notes during the reign of Tang Xuanzong, this hidden sentence appeared several times, and it seems that it still has a certain historical background, but it is impossible to find more relevant information.

As for the rumored Mu Guiying who once trained here, it is just a fiction of some good people. Because according to the research of historians, the historical materials of the Yang family are very limited.

Even the famous Yang Ye was just a well-known brave general at that time, and his status was only equivalent to the deputy commander of a war zone now. There are no Yang Zongbao and Mu Guiying in history, so there is no way to talk about Mu Guiying's training here.

In addition, Xiao Qingfeng also found a very strange phrase many times in the appearance of these two hidden sentences-Caojiao. This word "瞾" is not difficult to understand, it was originally a word specially created for herself by a generation of empress Wu Zetian - the sun and the moon are in the sky, suggesting Wu Zetian's ambition and open-mindedness. However, I have never heard of a "Cao Jiao", let alone figure out its ins and outs and historical origins.

After a few days of careful research at home, there was still no further progress, Xiao Qingfeng decided to personally go to Qixing Mountain to conduct a field topographical investigation. From the perspective of public opinion, a systematic inspection and deduction will be carried out to see if we can have a deeper understanding and interpretation of these two hidden words in the process of field research.

On the evening of this day, Xiao Qingfeng contacted Jing Xin and Xiao Maitreya, who had been relatively leisurely recently, and everyone agreed to drive directly to Qixing Mountain, one hundred and fifty kilometers away, early the next morning for a simple field investigation.

Early the next morning, the three of them drove directly to a small village on the outskirts of Qixing Mountain. After a brief breakfast there, the three of them followed the approximate coordinates and the breakfast shop owner's bullish gesture and drove on.

According to the guidance of the owner of the breakfast shop, it is said that after the last parking position, go directly and climb over more than a dozen mountains, and you can reach this legendary famous Qixing Mountain or Qixing Mountain. At that time, Xiao Maitreya also joked that compared to the three of them with the Xuangong of the Inner Family, this is a straight line on the map, and it can be easily reached in minutes.

But when he arrived in the mountains, Xiao Maitreya knew what distance was in reality, and really knew how boundless this mountainous and hilly area, which was almost invisible on the map.

Laughing Maitreya couldn't help but laugh and muttered: "That strange man's proprietress has been kindly persuading us, saying that we won't be allowed to go to this Qixing Mountain easily. They also said that they had heard from the elders for a long time that almost no one could find the specific true location of the old customers who were collecting medicine and playing wild meat in the mountains now. It is even said that this Seven Star Mountain is not real at all, it is just a name in a romance legend. I'm afraid that the three of us will keep our heads in here for a long time, and in the end we won't find anything. Of course, just the three of us, we won't get lost in it and can't get out, hehehe......"

Jing Xin said: "I have also checked a lot of information recently, and there is indeed no official record of this Seven Star Mountain (Seven Punishment Mountain). Just in the Tang Dynasty

In the later Xuanzong era, there were some sporadic records of words in some sources, and it only occasionally appeared in the name of Qixing Mountain at that time. As for the name of Qixing Mountain, it did not appear until the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now I am still unsure whether this Seven Star Mountain and Seven Punishment Mountain are a geographically accurate concept. For this reason, I also consulted some relevant experts on this period of discontinuity, but they did not have conclusive research and arguments. But the two related hidden sentences that we have mastered, they have indeed seen in some related materials. Of course, these are only occasional and slight, and there are no detailed explanations and commentaries, so there is no authoritative argument in the real sense. ”

Hou Ye said: "Is there some special historical event that has happened there, and it is precisely these historical events that are inconvenient to be officially recorded in the annals of history." Or, it was deliberately removed from some official documents at a later date. Especially when I found the strange word 'Tsojiao', my first impression was that it should be a peculiar religious organization. Extending the reasoning from this, I have a bold guess that it is very likely that this was an extreme cult organization at that time. It has only passed by occasionally in a fairly short period of time in the long course of history. ”

Jing Xin said: "It should be like this, so why is this 'Cao Sect' just a flash in the pan?"

Xiao Qingfeng said: "It is estimated that a certain climate had just formed at that time, and the clouds and fog completely dissipated under the thunder of the imperial court, and it disappeared forever." Even some related records were deliberately destroyed by the imperial court at that time, so that we can't see any official historical records until now. Even in some of the relevant notes, they are only sporadic and obscure side notes. ”

Under the aimless climbing and searching of the three of them, three or four hours passed unconsciously, and they almost climbed over more than a dozen mountains, but still did not find the specific location of this Qixing Mountain. Even the two rumored to be more obvious "Sigu Black Rock" and "Wujian Chishui", the three of them did not find the corresponding peaks.

Waiting until the top of a higher small peak, Xiao Maitreya sat on a big stone and said with a smile: "I said Master Hou, why don't we let Brother Wolf send a specific coordinate, it is not a way to find it like this." Besides, in this place, there are even more than more than 100 mountains of all sizes mentioned in the data, and the ghost knows which ones are the real Seven Star Mountains. As for the very peculiar description of the yang and yin streams, it can't be that some good things are spread by everyone. Obviously, some pictographic existences that can only be distinguished at a certain time or from a specific angle have been deliberately exaggerated by them into something extremely obvious and significant. Just like some so-called scenic spots now, if you are not under the special explanation of other professional tour guides, it is estimated that even if you want to break your head, I am afraid you will not be able to see any special attractions of most scenic spots. ”

Xiao Qingfeng and Jingxin listened to him say this, so they had no choice but to agree with it and call the lone wolf on the spot.

When the lone wolf learned that the three of them had entered the mountains and began to investigate the periphery, he immediately replied in a more solemn tone: "I can send you the specific coordinates immediately." But you must do what I have specifically explained, and you can only do a general inspection of the periphery. Now I have been waiting for the relevant instructions of the higher authorities, and we must not rush into the dangerous place without getting a clear notice. ”

After a slight pause, the lone wolf continued: "In addition, those objects found in the nearby underground river that are suspected to be human bones have been identified as the remains of some ancient people. However, the remains of those wild animals and plants found at the same time are indeed true, and a large part of them are high-level national key protected species. What is certain from this is that there must be a certain pattern in the vicinity

model, so there are considerable risk factors. If we go deep without careful arrangements, and do not talk about it, there may be a certain amount of danger, and this is absolutely not allowed. ”

After hearing the lone wolf's repeated explanations, the three of them immediately assured him that they would absolutely obey the command and would not move rashly.

After receiving the corresponding specific coordinates, the three of them immediately launched a directional search according to the coordinates. After climbing seven or eight more hills, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when they found the so-called "Yanggu" on a peak.

Xiao Maitreya looked at it carefully with a telescope for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm dizzy, is this the 'Yanggu' Mountain of 'Sigu Black Rock'? Why didn't I see any of the rumored features, and it was not much different from other surrounding peaks." It's just that when you get to the top of the mountain, it's just steep. As for the dark color of the rocks, it is not clear under the shade of the shrubs and weeds that cover the mountains. I guess if it weren't for Brother Wolf's coordinates, I wouldn't have been able to really identify them, even if I got to them. It seems that this is really better than famous!"

While he was muttering and complaining, Xiao Qingfeng reached out and took the binoculars, stood on the commanding heights of this peak, and took a serious look at the mountain pattern around the "Yanggu". From time to time, he muttered to himself: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven." ”

After a few more moments, he handed the telescope to Jing Xin. Jing Xin looked at each other in the direction of his finger, and then handed the telescope back to Laughing Maitreya. Xiao Maitreya saw that the expressions of the two seemed to be a little serious, so he immediately took the telescope and looked around under the guidance of Xiao Qingfeng. In the end, the three of them locked their target on the seven mountains where the "Yanggu" was together.

Indeed, according to Xiao Qingfeng's explanation. The seven hills are arranged and scattered among the many mountains according to the direction of the "bucket handle guide, the world is summer", either closely connected or independent. It's just that the heights of these hills are roughly similar, and there are no special differences, so it is extremely difficult to identify.

As Xiao Maitreya said, if it weren't for the coordinates of the lone wolf, even if it was close, I am afraid it would be really difficult to distinguish. But as you slowly sit down with each other, you can clearly see the shape of a standard Big Dipper in the distance.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Yanggu Peak of the "Sigu Black Rock" and the Yinjian Peak of the "Wujian Chishui" at the beginning, which were a bit pictographic, and the location was special, even Xiao Qingfeng would not be able to identify the other five peaks.

After the three of them looked at it carefully for a while, Xiao Maitreya spoke first: "According to Hou Ye's guidance, I also saw the shape of the Beidou pointed south of the bucket handle, and also saw the general meaning of 'Yanggu' (Tianquan Peak) and 'Yinjian' (Tianji Peak). As for the Yaoguang Peak, Kaiyang Peak, and Yuheng Peak of the bucket handle, I can also roughly distinguish it. But I don't see what it means at all, as 'one tiger is in charge, two wolves are kissing, and three eagles are folding'. As for the Tianxuan Peak of the 'Six Buddhas without a Head' and the Tianshu Peak of the 'Seven Views of Self-Image', they only saw two slightly higher peaks, and they didn't understand anything else. ”

glanced at Xiao Qingfeng, and seeing that he didn't react, Xiao Maitreya continued to say: "To be honest, my good marquis, are we being tricked by Brother Wolf's information." Look at such a broken place, except for barren mountains are barren mountains, except for hills are hills. I really didn't see anything but a few low bushes and weeds, let alone a living person, not even a dead man's grave. I didn't even see some of the hares and pheasants that were so common in such places. ”

"Stop!" Jing Xin suddenly interrupted Maitreya's grumbling. Jing Xin's sudden burst of applause really startled Maitreya for a moment, and she thought that she had suddenly made some major discovery.
