Pursuing Immortality

Chapter 247: Songjiang River

Views:

Songjiang River, snow.

There are few famous mountains outside the pass, and compared with other places, they always seem to be a little weaker. But fortunately, with the face of Changbai Mountain, it would not be too embarrassing.

The Changbai Mountains are extremely vast, with a total area of 1,964 square kilometers, spanning Xiaguo and Koguryo. The highest peak is in Koguryo, with an altitude of 2,749 meters.

After decades of development, the tourist facilities are very complete, and the most famous scenic spot is the Tianchi Lake on the top of the mountain. There are generally two routes, the north slope and the west slope.

The north slope can lead to the edge of Tianchi, where you can watch and touch it at close range. However, the road has been closed to protect the ecology in recent years. The west slope is a mountain peak, and you can stand on it to overlook the whole view of Tianchi Lake, each with its own characteristics.

Songjianghe is a small town at the foot of Xipo, where Xiaozhai lived when he was young.

"Wow, it's so cold in here!"

As soon as the family of four came out of the train station, Xiao Jin yelled, then let out a breath of white air, and shouted, "Hey, look, your breath is freezing!"

"Ah, don't keep hugging me...it's really beautiful here."

Long Qiu pushed away the other party anxiously, glanced casually, and immediately fell in love with this town. Everywhere is white, the streets, roofs, pedestrians, vehicles, and even the running stray dogs seem to be wrapped in a layer of white fluff.

The fine snow is falling, soft and scattered, and there is a kind of beauty of the world and the coldness of the world.

"Stop making noise, go to the hotel first."

Gu Yu greeted the two girls, hailed a taxi, and went straight to the reserved hotel. The driver was very weird, looking at the rearview mirror all the way, not sure what the relationship between these four people was.

The man was tall, thin and handsome, with two long legs propped up. The older girl has extraordinary temperament, and she also has two long legs. The two smaller ones are equally beautiful, ho, and the legs are not short!

Dude, riding in a car is like a joke, the prostate brakes as soon as the door is opened.

Although the Songjiang River is underdeveloped, the tourism industry is thriving, and there are still several large-scale reception points. The taxi drove for five or six minutes, and then stopped in a large courtyard with more than ten floors, newly built.

I asked for two rooms, both of which are small suites with a living room.

As soon as Long Qiu entered the house, she hurriedly packed her clothes. She had enough magic power to resist the natural cold, so the clothes she brought were also very thin.

One by one, she hung them in the closet, her fingers were light, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and then she hummed a song unconsciously.

"Qiuqiu! You actually sing!"

As soon as Xiao Jin finished defecating, she came out of the toilet with her eyes wide open, her face full of surprise.

"Huh? Did I sing?" Long Qiu was a little dazed.

"You sang, but you just don't understand!"

"Oh, maybe it's You Fangge (a love song of the Miao nationality) that you're humming. Oh, hurry up and clean up, we'll be eating in a while."

She hung up her clothes, put the suitcase on the corner of the wall, and took out toothbrush towels and started to arrange them.

That girl was like a spirit behind her back, following wherever she went, she said vigorously: "No, no! Why are you so happy when you come to Changbai Mountain? There must be something tricky!"

"I'm very happy when I come out to play, aren't you happy?" Long Qiu was very surprised.

"I am happy with a hammer, this is also my hometown!"

"Ah... I forgot!"

Long Qiu was a little embarrassed, there was nothing wrong with her, she and Xiao Zhai were cousins, their parents were brothers, so Xiao Zhai's grandfather was naturally her grandfather.

But thinking about it this way, Xiaoqiu became a little interested and asked, "Jinjin, did you live here when you were young?"

"I stayed in Shengtian all the time and only came back twice a year. Later, my grandfather passed away, so I never came back."

"Then have you been close to your sister since childhood?"

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes, looking fierce and funny.

"I'm curious, haven't you noticed that my sister is different from others?"

"She is not different from others, she is different from normal people. Alas, you have never experienced the horror of being dominated by the Great Demon King..."

Xiao Jin was so sad that she couldn't help herself. She was possessed by a playful spirit for a while, and couldn't help but her eyes were red.

Long Qiu sweated wildly, and asked: "Then have you met her master?"

"No, no one knows about this except Grandpa!"

She was very angry when she mentioned it, and murmured: "It's all fate! If I had been weak and sick since I was a child, maybe I was the one who studied with a teacher, and now I am the one who is wandering around. The one above is still me, and the one below is her. ,wakaka… "

What's the mess

Long Qiu's head was covered with black lines.

Songjianghe is a large town with a population of more than 100,000 and 11 administrative villages under its jurisdiction.

The four of them stayed for one night, and went to Changqing Village, which was the Jiang family's ancestral home, early the next morning. Changqing Village does not fit the name, it is covered with snow, low houses and village roads, as if it is empty.

A few people stepped on the snow like a giant, and the villagers who passed by occasionally took a look at it, just like seeing a patient.

Xiao Zhai led the way and kept silent. From the moment she arrived in town, she was depressed, like a mildly depressed hedgehog.

"rustle!"

"Crack!"

They turned around an alley, only to see an old lady walking towards her, wearing a thick padded jacket, with her hands in her sleeves, and a plastic bag on her arm, which contained several pig's trotters.

Xiao Zhai stopped suddenly and asked, "Aunt Chen?"

"Um?"

Aunt was taken aback, carefully identified it, and said uncertainly: "You are, the boss of the Jiang family..."

"I'm Xiao Zhai."

"Oh, why are you back?" The aunt immediately became enthusiastic.

"Come back and have a look. This is Xiao Jin, from my uncle's house. You have seen it before. These are two of my friends."

She gave a brief introduction and said with a smile, "We'll leave after two days. How are you doing now?"

"Haha, it's all good. My kid just got married in October, and he still wants to call your dad. What am I talking about? He is such a big leader, who remembers you as a child who eats poop? Turns out, your dad is very particular about it." , I don’t know who mentioned it, and I even asked someone to bring a gift money... Oh, by the way, your grandpa’s house is also good, Lao Shui did his best, you have to thank him.”

"Oh, yes...then let's go first."

After exchanging greetings for a while, several people continued to move forward, and they stopped in front of a small courtyard when they reached the end. A very ordinary farmyard, three tile-roofed houses, dilapidated traces that cannot be covered up by white snow.

Xiao Zhai took out the key, opened the door and entered the house. The light inside was very dark, but there was no stale smell, and it was obviously cleaned frequently. Xiao Jin's memory is relatively long, and she looked quite unfamiliar, looking around here and there.

Gu Yu also looked at it, the kitchen was in the middle, and the master bedroom was in the east room, with the kang on the floor, and the furniture had been emptied long ago. There is a small bed in the Westinghouse, without even the boards, only a pair of iron frames left.

"Did you sleep here before?" he asked.

"Well, I slept for several years."

Xiao Zhai touched the iron head of the bed and said with a smile: "At first it was okay, but as I got taller and taller, I couldn't hold it anymore. Grandpa was thinking about buying me a big bed, but at that time, I would go back to Sheng God."

"Oh, I slept on the kang when I was a child, but it was not enough later, so I put a bench on the edge of the kang to make room for it."

Gu Yu stepped on a few more steps, followed by a pause, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a pile of sundries in the corner.

He took a closer look, and the most conspicuous one was a wooden niche with red paper pasted on it, and there were couplets on the left and right: Cultivate one's nature in the deep mountains, and keep the family safe in the ancient cave.

In the middle is the word "worship", and below it is: Hu Xiansan, the third grandpa of Hu Xian, the position of Hu Xiansan's grandma.

"..."

Gu Yu stared at it for a long time, and asked, "Does everyone in the village worship?"

"It used to be a lot, but now it's less."

"The Phoenix Collection doesn't seem to be enshrined. I really don't understand. Don't they always talk about the Five Great Immortals and the Five Great Immortals? What exactly are they?" He was a little curious.

"Hu Xian (fox), Huang Xian (weasel), Bai Xian (hedgehog), Liu Xian (snake), Hui Xian (mouse), commonly known as Hu Huang Bai Liu Hui. They are said to be gods, but in fact they are ghosts who went out of the mountain to avoid thunder. People, use their disciples to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. They usually call out horse immortals, and these disciples call out horse disciples. If they are selected, they will call themselves Tangkou, and they can set up fairy halls to help people solve problems."

"Acting in a person's body? Isn't this the possession of a ghost? It's quite similar to shamanism." Gu Yu frowned.

"snort!"

Xiao Zhai snorted coldly, and said, "They are offshoots of Shamanism, pretending to be gods and ghosts, greedy for money, and harming the villagers. There was one in the village before, and it harmed many people."

"Then what?"

"I was taken by my master."

"Well… "

Gu Yu almost choked, and it turned out to be a master and apprentice, and said again: "So, the shamanism came to find your master?"

"Um."

"Then your master..."

He wanted to ask how he died, but he paused and gave up.

The four of them stayed for a short while, and after a brief cleaning, they locked the door and came out.

Before leaving, Gu Yu looked back at Westinghouse twice. In the past, he absolutely did not believe in the idea of a horse celestial being. Now, I can't tell.

"Thuk Tuk!"

"Thuk Tuk!"

A walking tractor roared past, splashing mud and snow. The master looked calm, his driving skills were impressive, and the dilapidated cart drew a perfect arc before disappearing into the small alley.

"Hey! Those who didn't know thought they were going to Qiuming Mountain!"

Xiao Jin waved her sleeves, feeling impatient, she called out, "Sister, what are we doing now?"

"Go to Shui's house."

"Why are you going to Shui's house?"

"just looking around."

"Why do you want to look at it casually?"

"you shut up."

"oh!"

Xiao Jin has no sense of being bullied at all, she has to slip away to the side, but looks very comfortable. Long Qiu patted her head, and with a look of caring for a fool, he also asked: "Sister, who is the Shui family?"

"Their old man has a good relationship with my grandfather and has helped take care of the house in the past few years. Let's go and thank him."

The two families are not far away, and the conversation room is here. The location of Shui's house is more remote, close to a forest, but the yard is very spacious, and the tile-roofed house is also very grand.

Xiao Zhai poked at the gate and shouted before entering, "Old man!"

After a few seconds of delay, an old but powerful voice came out: "Who is it?"

Following the sound, an old man slowly walked out, raised his eyes and glanced around, and immediately smiled: "Oh, Jiang girl is back."

"Ha, old man, long time no see."

Xiao Zhai ran to him, showing a kind of intimacy like a junior, and introduced: "This is my boyfriend, and these two are my younger sisters. This is Shui Rong, the veteran of the Changbai Ginseng Gang."
