After hearing this, the old man still didn't speak, just stared straight at the place below, making everyone confused, not knowing what he meant. At the same time, Xiao Qingfeng also walked back and forth where everyone was standing, and didn't say a word like this old man, just kept looking at the low-lying area below.

More than ten minutes passed like this, and just when the Mengshan turtle was about to shout again, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly took the telescope from the lone wolf's hand, and carefully looked at this ordinary dustpan terrain again. And let the lone wolf follow his gestures, quickly take a lot of photos from multiple angles.

After a while, Xiao Qingfeng seemed to have made something new, turned around and said to the old man with a smile: "You always rest on it for a while, and I'll come back when I go." ”

After finishing speaking, he explained to everyone: "Now the task of Ah Turtle and Tian Remnant is to accompany the old man on it and rest well; wait for Brother Maitreya to go down with me, do as I say, and don't care about any other situation; Brother Wolf and Second Brother, you two use cameras to follow the two of us separately, pay attention to maintaining the coherence of the shooting, and form a complete trajectory; finally, Ah Lang, you should understand what you should do, just move around freely nearby." ”

After finishing speaking, he whispered to Xiao Maitreya for a while, and then the two of them spread out and swept down. After the two of them went down, they first went straight to the small mountain village below, turned a semicircle from the left and right sides, and converged at the northernmost part of the village. Then he turned back and crossed back from the middle of the village to the southernmost part of the village.

Finally, the two of them quickly detoured back to the top depression at the top of the small mountain village along the edge of the U-shaped terrain of the entire Tuan Yuyu on the outskirts of the village.

After staying there for a while, the two of them carefully studied the stone tower and boulder twenty or thirty meters away from the depression for seven or eight minutes, and then quickly turned back to the place where everyone was from the middle of the abandoned village below.

After arriving, Xiao Qingfeng first nodded politely at the old man, and then directly reached out and took the lone wolf's camera, and carefully inspected and compared the photos inside. After reading it, Xiao Qingfeng frowned, and also learned from the old man just now, and was silent for seven or eight minutes, without saying a word.

After a long while, the old man finally took the initiative to come to Xiao Qingfeng, and said with a smile: "How about it, little monkey, have you found anything, do you also feel that this place is weird, my old man didn't fool you with nonsense." ”

Ranwen

Xiao Qingfeng said: "I just saw some weird Ni Duan, and I didn't find anything in the real sense." This abandoned village seems to have had many fights many years ago, and even the extent of the fights was once very tragic. Judging from the remaining traces of the present, not only many houses were damaged to varying degrees at that time. Even one of the only two ancient wells in the village was blown up as if it had been blown up with explosives. In addition, in the cemetery in the northeast corner of the village, a number of tombstones smashed with blunt objects were also found. On the well stones of the two ancient wells, the words Wangjiajing and Lijiajing can still be vaguely recognized, which corresponds to the remaining inscriptions in the cemetery in the northeast corner of the village. It can be roughly inferred that the original surname of Wang and Li should be the main in this small mountain village. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingfeng paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued: "On the slope directly north of this abandoned mountain village, there should have been a temple earlier, and now it can still be vaguely distinguished

Recognize the foundation site of that year. At the northernmost point of the central axis of the temple, there is an unusually smooth boulder, and directly in front of the boulder is a stupa of exquisite craftsmanship. At the lowest end of the boulder's back, we also found three extremely small ancient seal characters - the Demon Suppression Stone. Of course, these three words are only my rough guess, because first, these three small characters are too vague and difficult to identify, and secondly, to identify this ancient seal font is not my strong point, or let our experts Jingxin teacher study before it can be officially determined. ”

After another pause, Xiao Qingfeng continued to say: "In addition, in the position directly in front of the base of the exquisite pagoda, I also found three regular script fonts of Qingyun Pagoda, and I can see these three characters clearly. According to the name of this Qingyun Pagoda, it can be roughly judged that this temple should be called Qingyun Temple. According to this logical reasoning, this small mountain range is naturally called Qingyun Mountain. Of course, these are all things that Maitreya and I pondered, and I don't know if it's right or not. ”

The old man smiled and said: "It's really good, you little monkey is indeed not simple, not only can you roughly understand it, but also observe it in detail, not bad, not bad! Now I will tell you about this place, and the strange real existence here." So saying, he beckoned everyone to follow him and march towards the abandoned village below.

He told everyone all about it as he walked, and the original name of this village was Wanglizhuang, also known as Brother Tun. At that time, the forty or fifty families in the village all had the surname Wang and Li, and there were no other surnames.

Legend has it that in the war years at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the two families of Wang and Li fled from the outside to this place and slowly multiplied here. The temple in the north of the village is indeed called Qingyun Temple, which is clearly recorded in the local county annals.

This temple was originally built in the Northern Song Dynasty during the Xining period, and according to legend, it was a Zen temple with extremely strong incense at that time, and then slowly went into decline after the baptism of the years.

In the end, during the Sino-Japanese War, almost all the buildings were destroyed by the Japanese army, and only this five-story exquisite stupa was miraculously left without even the slightest damage.

This Qingyun Pagoda is a stone structure, the plane is octagonal, the tower body is an octagonal pillar type as a whole, a total of five floors, 8.1 meters high, the meaning is to take the number of ninety-nine.

The first layer is octagonal, four fronts are carved with the statues of the four heavenly kings, the upper octagonal stone seat; the second layer is also octagonal, each side is carved with a relief Buddha statue, and then covered with eaves, bearing the lotus seat; the third layer is quadrangular, there is a stone carved cloud dragon, and then the upper is a round cover; the fourth layer also makes a quadrangular shape, and the upper part is an octagonal cover; the fifth layer is the top of the solid tower in the shape of a treasure gourd, but I don't know what superb craftsmanship is used on it, it looks like a golden treasure gourd, which still maintains a dull golden color after more than 800 years。

The whole stupa is extremely complicated, but the whole is quite harmonious. As for the boulder behind the stupa, no one has really paid attention to it for so many years. Not to mention the three extremely small ancient seal fonts on it, let alone found it.

Eight people went directly from the middle of the village, directly to the location of the Qingyun Tower, and sure enough, they found the three regular script fonts of the Qingyun Pagoda in front of the base of the stone tower. Then, under the guidance of Xiao Maitreya, everyone found the three ancient seal characters that were extremely difficult to find and difficult to identify at the bottom of the back of the boulder.

These three words, it is estimated that it is not very good eyesight, or it is almost difficult to read with a magnifying glass

Discover their presence. And even if you see it, it's hard to identify what these three ancient seals are written in small characters. The old man lay there and watched for more than ten minutes before he could barely recognize the word "stone", and the other two calculations didn't see what it looked like.

Immediately afterwards, the old man led everyone to the northernmost depression. When they stood there, they realized that behind this depression was an extremely deep group of stone pond pits.

And to the northwest, these stone ponds and pits are connected to a long canyon, which not only has no end in sight, but is also overgrown with weeds, and it is almost impossible to see its width and depth. When we got here, it was still hard for everyone to believe that in this inconspicuous hilltop and hilly area, there was such a hidden canyon.

The canyon in the distance is left alone for the time being, and it is the stone pond pit group below that makes everyone very surprised. It turned out that in these dozens of stone pond pits of different sizes, the color of the rocks in them was completely different from the bluestone in other places, and there were many very strange cinnabar red colors. Moreover, they are far deeper than the quarries in other places, many of which are as deep as eighty or ninety meters.

Just when everyone was surprised, the old man continued to tell everyone a true story that happened here many years ago.

It turns out that the two surnames of Wang Lizhuang below have been like brothers since they took root here, and they have been marrying and living in harmony for hundreds of years, and the whole village is like a big family. However, in the 80s of the last century, two people with two surnames, who had been quarrying together for generations, accidentally found cinnabar red colored stones in the deep stone layers.

At first, just out of curiosity, I asked someone to take it to the big city outside to find someone to identify it. It doesn't matter if this identification is made, it turns out that these are extremely rare cinnabar ores in the northern mountains, and the content is extremely high, and there is great mining value.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately attracted some investors from outside, and they found local villagers surnamed Wang and Li to take the lead in mining the cinnabar ore in the back mountain.

While these investors grabbed a lot of wealth, the local villagers with two surnames also got a lot of benefits, and many people suddenly became rich for a while. Even most of the people bought buildings in the county town and became rich city people, and for a while, there were almost only some old people left in the small mountain villages below who were unwilling to leave.

Ben came here, everything was so good, and many people lived the happy life they longed for. However, at this moment, the eternal curse of "true brothers in times of trouble, how many people are rich and prosperous" was once again staged among these people.

As more and more money is made from mining cinnabar ore, the greedy side of human nature is becoming more and more inflated, and gradually the contradictions between the two surnames are slowly revealed. Finally, in the ownership of the Houshan cinnabar mine pond and the division of the region, the long-accumulated conflict of interests finally broke out completely.

For this reason, the two sides first quarreled in private, and later went to court. After the endless tug-of-war back and forth, driven by interests, it finally gradually evolved into a bloody fight, and it became more and more intense.

Later, it gradually deteriorated into a situation where each other spent money to ask for foreign aid to help fight, and for a while, the brothers, who were originally like a family, turned into a battle field full of bloody smell all the time.
