The lone wolf said: "This is not necessary, originally we have never paid much attention to the seniority of the people in the door, unlike those sects on the rivers and lakes who are as hierarchical and dogmatic and rigid, what we value is just to be dedicated to the public and be conscientious." So, we still have our own opinions, I call you Xiaolin, you can call me Brother Wolf like them, don't be any more seniors and juniors, that's too sour, hehehe. ”

Xiao Lin said: "Okay, then I might as well be respectful." In this case, I will go down and start the car at once, and you will discuss whether we should all go together, or if there is any other arrangement. With that, he turned and left.

After discussing it, we didn't go to all of them, but made the following arrangements temporarily. The lone wolf, Xiao Qingfeng, the little Taoist, and the prodigal son followed Lin Hua to do the preliminary investigation, mainly to make a relatively comprehensive understanding of the shape and pattern of the entire Lianyun Mountain.

The three of Jingxin, Doll and Mengshan Turtle stayed in the hotel and used the computer to collect some relevant information about this place as much as possible, mainly from the relevant chronicles to see if they could find some important clues.

The remaining mute and laughing Maitreya also went out for a walk after the lone wolf set off, and went around the villages near Lianyun Mountain, asking around the side to see if they could get some valuable news. After the arrangement, everyone prepared separately and acted separately.

Let's talk about the lone wolf first, everyone drove for more than an hour after leaving the town, and then they arrived near Lianyun Mountain. When everyone arrived, they found that this place was indeed remote enough, and there were some bumpy dirt roads in the fields behind it.

When there were still seven or eight miles to go, the car really couldn't move forward, so everyone had to get out of the car and go on foot.

I saw that there are a total of five mountains in this Lianyun Mountain, which runs southeast and northwest, and the length of the continuous is only seven or eight kilometers, and the highest peak in the middle is only about 400 meters, which seems to be very ordinary at first glance.

From a distance, the third peak, the highest peak in the middle, is obviously concave into it, and the four peaks on both sides protrude forward in turn, which is also a bit of an old-fashioned chair back, which may be the origin of its other name, "Chairback Mountain".

However, when I looked closely, I found that there seemed to be a heavy fog in the nest recessed by the third peak in the middle, and the visibility was very poor. Looking through the binoculars, through the white fog, I vaguely saw a cliff in the mountain nest behind, presumably this may be the so-called ghost cliff.

However, there was no obvious cave on it, and it seemed that there was nothing strange about this cliff, or rather, it was not clear at all.

Except for the faint cliff in the middle, the rest of the mountain is lush and dense, and there are some ancient cypress trees everywhere.

In particular, in the middle of the fourth and fifth peaks in the southeast, there seems to be a black valley, and the vegetation in it seems to be unusually dense, but the fog there is also very heavy, and it is also difficult to see the specific situation.

At this moment, the lone wolf said, "Xiaolin, the misty cliff in the middle, isn't it the ghost cliff?"

Lin Hua said: "Yes, that cliff is the Ghost God Cliff where our target is located. ”

Lone wolf said: "I also came here not long ago

Once, I remember that it seemed to be the way it is now, and it looked foggy and white. I didn't see much of the above last time, I don't know if it's like this on weekdays, or if it's just an occasional coincidence. ”

Lin Hua said: "In fact, this is the origin of the name of Lianyun Mountain, this place is like this almost all year round, and it has been cloudy and misty. And in many cases, not only the two places we see from afar, but even the entire upper half of Lianyun Mountain are shrouded in faint clouds. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued: "By the way, there is an ancient ballad that has always been circulated among the people in this place, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

The lone wolf said: "What kind of ballad, I haven't heard anyone talk about this, because when I came not long ago, I just passed by in a hurry, and I didn't have time to conduct an investigation on the spot." Actually, that's why I asked you to come here, and to be honest, what we all know about this place is pretty much a blank slate. Tell us about the folk songs here, maybe they really contain some valuable information. You must know that these ancient ballads that can be passed down to this day generally have their specific meanings. You just hurry up and say it, let's all go through it together and see if we can get something. ”

Lin Hua said: "This folk song is - Lianyun Mountain and Lianyun Mountain, three hundred years without seeing the sky, ghosts and gods are at ease in the middle of the clouds, King Kong ancient vines are constantly pulling, and colorful butterflies dream for thousands of years." ”

After listening to Lin Hua sing these five ballads, Xiao Qingfeng pondered for a while, and then said politely: "In this way, Xiaolin, you can briefly tell us your locals' understanding of this ballad, okay?"

Lin Hua said: "This ballad has a total of five sentences, needless to say, this first sentence is just the opening words of the ballad." The second sentence says that this place is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and there are about 300 days in a year when the sky is not visible. The third sentence is to say that there is a ghost cave on the top of the ghost cliff where the clouds and mist are heaviest, and it is said that there are immortals who practice in it, so there is this strange perennial cloud and mist. The fourth sentence is about the black valley that we look at now, that is, a very beautiful place on this Lianyun Mountain, the local people call it Wisteria Valley, there are many ancient vines growing in it, and the locals are used to calling them King Kong Ancient Vines. The fifth sentence is even more peculiar, a very strange colorful butterfly can be seen all year round on this Lianyun Mountain, especially near the Ghost God Cliff, according to legend, this is from the mysterious Ghost God Cave. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "Then what do you locals think of this mysterious ghost and god cave, are there any related legends or any real stories?"

Lin Hua said: "To be honest, I really can't say for sure, but now I can take you to meet someone, he should know a lot of information you want to know." ”

The lone wolf said: "By the way, I remembered, is this person you are talking about your uncle from some family?"

Lin Hua said: "Yes, it's him, he lives at the bottom of the Ghost God Cliff now, he is a local forest ranger, we can see him in ten minutes or so." I had already contacted him before we left, and now he is waiting for us in the ranger. ”

The lone wolf said: "Yes, yes, looking at your young age, I didn't expect to be so thoughtful in doing things." In this way, you can give us a general introduction first

Tell me about your uncle. ”

Lin Hua said: "My uncle is a disabled soldier who has been discharged from the army, and I heard that he was injured in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and lost an arm. It is said that his personality has been very withdrawn and eccentric since he was a child, and he is even a little unkind, as if he has never been married. After his recovery, he used to watch the gate of the meat factory in our town, but he has been idle at home since the meat factory closed down. It wasn't until seven years ago that there was such a strange thing on this ghost cliff that the above decided to arrange a special person to take care of this place, and then I remembered him again. ”

The lone wolf said: "I see, then can he be competent?"

Lin Hua said: "Don't look at his withdrawn personality and bad temper, but he has a strong sense of responsibility, and it is said that he can also do a little kung fu, even if he is in his sixties now, but the average young man is probably not his opponent when he goes to three or five together." I heard that his leg skills are good, and even my master once praised his leg skills very well, saying that he is a real master. Not to mention, since he arrived here, not only has there not been any rock climbing accidents, but even the nearby forest thieves are honest. ”

Lone Wolf said: "It sounds like a very qualified ranger, have you ever seen his real kung fu, or have you ever learned kung fu from him?"

Lin Hua said: "That's not true, because his old man doesn't like to show off, he usually doesn't say a word all day long like a mute, and he never shows his kung fu in front of people for no reason." Even if someone pestered him to ask him, he always ignored it coldly, and when he was in a hurry, he just brushed his sleeves and left. Therefore, even these juniors in our own family, no one has really seen his kung fu, and we don't even know much about some of his past, just heard some stories about him, let alone learn kung fu from him. It's just that he walks extremely fast, which many people have seen. It is said that he walked a hundred miles in one breath, and it took him three or four hours, and he was not out of breath. Even now, I heard that he has always insisted on walking around this Lianyun Mountain at least two or three times a day, rain or shine. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "It seems that this is also a strange man who is really hidden in the mountains and forests, and I really want to ask this senior for advice later, to see if his old man is really worthy of his name." ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "I think it's okay to ask for advice, our business is important, you can only observe secretly, and you must not mess around!"

Everyone laughed and soon came to the foot of the mountain, and walked along a winding path to the bottom of the Ghost God Cliff. I saw that in the northwest corner of the Ghost God Cliff, there were two small houses seven or eight meters apart from each other, and the outside of the houses was simply enclosed with a wooden fence to enclose a small courtyard, and the wooden door of the courtyard was half-hidden, and there was no movement inside.

Lin Hua stepped forward and directly pushed the wooden door open, and after letting everyone in, he shouted loudly at the two closed doors: "Third uncle, I'm Huazi, are you always at home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two heavy coughs from the small house to the west, and then he heard a cold voice say, "Well, you wait outside, and I'll go out." ”

Before everyone met, they already felt that this was really a weird person who was extremely difficult to get along with. This is still Lin Hua contacted and made an appointment in advance, if he doesn't know someone, I'm afraid he won't even bother to take care of it.
