I have been secretly observing Old Man Sun since I set off.
Old man Sun's old face made it impossible for me to tell how old he really was. According to his own statement, people who had been bandits before the founding of the People's Republic of China must be at least eighty years old now, but Old Man Sun can walk quickly on the rugged mountain road, using the machete in his hand to sharpen grass sticks. Apart from his white hair and wrinkled face, there was no sign that he was an elderly person.
I gently touched Ye Xun next to me, who lowered his voice and said, "That's a master of the inner family. In terms of kung fu, he is only stronger than the two of us."
I nodded secretly and turned my attention to the other companions. Scarface's skill was not inferior to that of Old Man Sun, but the others were far behind, especially a few young people who were already sweating like rain and panting like cows.
After Old Man Sun took us on a mountain road for more than ten miles, he stopped on a hillside and said, "Everyone, take a rest. It's time to enter the mountain."
I walked around the people sitting on the ground and walked to Old Man Sun: "Brother, tell me what the Golden Immortal is so that we can be prepared."
Old Man Sun pointed at the bare bumpkin in the distance: "Jin Daxian is a stone immortal. In the past, the Jin Daxian Temple was located here, and there was a lot of incense. At that time, Jin Daxian answered all requests and never harmed anyone. Later, the Daxian Temple If someone demolishes it, Jin Daxian will run out, and then Jin Daxian will kill people."
I frowned slightly and said, "I heard from Uncle Liu that Jin Daxian was welcomed by your ancestors?"
"That's right!" Old Man Sun said, "My ancestors made a living by driving mountains. There are different levels of skill in driving mountains. My ancestors have a skill in climbing mountains and crossing ridges. We, the Sun family, have the ability to go to places that others can't. You can go in wherever you want; where others dare not go, our Sun family dares to explore even three points inside."
Old man Sun said with a bit of pride: "My grandfather was famous throughout the Northeast back then. He was known as Sai Monkey. There was no place in the mountains or rivers that he could not enter. I heard from my grandfather that when he was young, in order to marry my grandma, he agreed to marry me. His father-in-law gave him a five-year-old ginseng as a betrothal gift."
"How can five-hundred-year-old ginseng be so easy to find? Some people have been trekking up the mountain all their lives and have never even come across a century-old ginseng. My father regretted it after he said it and refused to go up the mountain. At that time, his father-in-law My father also looked down on my father, so he always used words to bully him. When he did this, even the people in the village used words to bully my father. When they met, they would ask: Sun Monkey, have you dug up your five-hundred-year-old ginseng? Huh? We are still waiting to drink your wedding wine! Because of this matter, even my grandma is not willing to see my father, it’s too embarrassing! "
"My father really couldn't keep it in his face, so he went into the mountains with all his heart. He walked in the mountains for more than half a year and searched everywhere he could. He dug up a few ginseng seeds, but none of them were successful."
When Old Man Sun said this, he picked up the kettle and took a sip: "My father said that at that time, he wanted to go back, but he was afraid that he would be laughed at by the villagers when he went back, so he simply went into Bafeng'aozi. That place is It’s known as a place of death, and no one who goes in comes out.”
"After my grandfather entered Batu Col, he got lost in the mountains and couldn't get out. There weren't even trees growing in Batu Col. My grandfather couldn't find anything even if he wanted to eat leaves. Later he was forced to If you have no choice, just eat the stick he dug out."
I couldn't help but interrupt when I heard this: "Is Bangchui something that can be chewed raw? Isn't your old man afraid that he will die from eating it?"
Northeastern people call ginseng stick. It can be used to make soup, stew chicken, or make ginseng tea, but no one dares to pick it up and eat it raw, especially wild ginseng, which is full of medicinal properties. If you chew half of it, most of them will have to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, let alone in the wilderness. in.
Old man Sun said: "I also asked my father about this matter. He said that he was forced to have no choice but to chew the stick raw, but he did not dare to eat more, so he pinched off a piece and held it in his mouth. In your mouth, swallow it when you feel it’s okay.”
"My grandfather relied on a few sticks on the mountain to find a way out of Black Wind Col. Who would have thought that he would step on a stone and fall into a cave."
"My father said that he fell unconscious after falling into the cave. After he fainted, he had a dream in which he dreamed that a god with golden light all over his body told him that he accidentally fell into the dark cave. Even though the monsters on the mountain had descended on Feng'aozi, the monster land, he himself had no magic power. He asked my father to carry him out. When he couldn't leave, he would build a temple there to let him suffer. Incense, when the incense is enough, he can return to heaven, and my master's wealth will be indispensable at that time."
"After my father woke up, he really saw a great immortal covered in gold sitting next to him. He was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed to the great immortal. Thinking about what happened in the dream, wasn't it the great immortal in front of him?"
"My father said that he also thought about it at that time. If you can't get out, you will die. It's not as good as trying your luck behind the back of the Immortal. If the Immortal really promises wealth, isn't it better than driving the damn mountain?"
"My father carried the great immortal on his back and walked out. But it was also strange that he could not get out of Heifengaozi before. Now, the road is open no matter how he walks. Not to mention jackals, tigers and leopards, there are even long worms along the way. Didn't meet him. He didn't know he was hungry even though he was walking on the mountain road, so he carried the great immortal here in one breath."
Old Man Sun pointed at the country bumpkin and said, "My father said that when the Immortal arrived here, he suddenly became heavier than a stone. He couldn't carry it no matter how hard he carried it. So he knelt in front of the Immortal, kowtowed, and asked the Immortal: "What are you doing? Have you always been attracted to this place? Three gold bars fell from the Immortal’s sleeves, and then my father knew that the Immortal had taken a fancy to this place.”
"My father left the Immortal here and took the gold bars back home. When he told the people in the village, they all didn't believe it. When they went up the mountain to see the Immortal, they all believed it and started talking about it. To build a temple for the great immortal, the money will come from those three gold bars."
Old man Sun lit up a cigarette when he said this: "The temple construction thing is also strange. No matter how the accountant calculates, he can't exceed one gold bar. People in the village say that among the three gold bars, one is for temple construction." I will use two of them as a reward to my father, so he can quickly take the gold bars and tell me about my wife."
"My father-in-law is afraid of being blamed by the Immortal, but even if he digs old sticks, he may not be able to sell two gold bars, right? As soon as my grandfather mentioned this, his father-in-law agreed. My father got married, here There is also the Golden Immortal Temple.”
After listening to it, I deliberately stood up and said, "This thing is so mysterious, I have to go and take a look."
I took Ye Xun to the bumpkin over there, scraped the dirt with my feet and said, "Ye Xun, what do you think?"
Ye Xun whispered: "There are ancient tombs in Heifeng Col. According to Feng Shui, only when the earth in the mountains is empty will no grass grow on the mountains. There are either ancient tombs under the Black Wind Col, or they are hollow. Something. The place where Lao Sun’s family fell in might be the entrance to the ancient tomb.”
After Ye Xun finished speaking, he said: "Do you believe what Old Man Sun said? If you ask me, I can only listen to half of what Old Man Sun said. That Old Man Sun's ancestor might be a tomb robber."
I shook my head and said: "What he said may not be true. If you look carefully at the foundations on the ground, this place must have been a temple before, and the scale was not small. If Old Man Sun's ancestors were tomb robbers, there was no need for him to rob the tomb. His body was carried back and blatantly offered up as an offering. However, there must be some moisture in his words. There are some things that you cannot understand now and you have to look at them later."
When I said this, the topic changed: "Do you think there is a shaman's tomb hidden in Black Wind Col?"
Ye Xun thought deeply: "It's hard to say. Shamans worship many gods, including the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, trees, and even animals. You can't tell whether it's a shaman's tomb until you get inside the tomb."
I reached out and pointed nearby and said, "Ye Xun, do you know Feng Shui? How is the Feng Shui here?"
"Not at all." Ye Xun shook his head and said, "This place is too ruthless. If we bury people, our descendants are guaranteed to encounter military disasters, and there is even the danger of the whole family being wiped out."
I nodded and said, "What if we build a temple? Can we suppress the evil spirit?"
"It's not appropriate to build a temple." Ye Xun shook his head and said, "Let's put aside Feng Shui, this place can overlook the village and highway below, which is equivalent to exposing the entire village to the sight of the temple. So It’s too domineering, a practitioner wouldn’t do that, so it would be more appropriate to change it to a gun tower.”
"Yeah!" I nodded, "Let's go back first."
Ye Xun and I walked back to Old Man Sun: "I'm telling you, Old Man Sun, your family built this Great Immortal Temple, so your family should be in charge of this temple. As long as there is incense in the temple, your family will be responsible for it." You shouldn’t worry about eating and drinking. Why did you just dry your beard?”
Old man Sun said: "It's not the kid who caused the trouble. I heard from my father that the kid came and occupied the Jin Daxian Temple. My father and I were forced to do nothing, so he simply took our whole family up the mountain and defected. He became my father's brother. From then on, I became a beard and didn't come back until liberation."
“At that time, the government called on Huzi to come down from the mountain and surrender. My father and the others didn’t do anything bad when they occupied the mountain. It’s better to say that Huzi occupied a place on the mountain to farm and make a living, so the government didn’t give us any trouble. After we come down, won’t we be able to live in peace and contentment?”
Old man Sun didn't tell the truth. Just because he could bring out so many quick guns showed that their group was quite big back then. The People's Liberation Army can allow some minions to correct their evil ways, but the leading habitual gangsters will never be able to escape.
When I squinted my eyes and looked at Old Man Sun, the latter patted his thigh and said, "Little brother, why don't you believe me? We really can't be considered beards. These guns of mine were all left by the little devils."
I said casually: "I believe it, I believe it. Tell me, why didn't the little devil touch Jin Daxian?"
