The villager was stunned when he heard Mr. Nanfang's words. Unknown to others, he, as a villager of Baishan Village, had lived at the foot of Ladder Mountain for half his life.
"There are treasures on Tidder Mountain, nine cylinders and eighteen pots! Not on the front slope, but on the back slope." The villagers immediately remembered this jingle. Southerners said that gourds are the key to the back mountain of Tidder Mountain. Isn't that exactly what "not on the front slope is on the back slope?" "Back slope"! Thinking of the treasure, the villagers felt a burst of joy in their hearts, but they still said with a distressed look on their faces: "Look, now that the gourd is gone, I haven't earned any money from you. You, go back." He said it and sent him away. That southerner.
Before dawn the next day, the villager picked up the gourd and went up the back hill of Ladder Mountain while it was dark to look for treasure!
When we turned to the back mountain of Ladder Mountain, the sky was bright. Of course, this so-called back mountain is also the northern foot of the mountain. You must know that Tizi Mountain is a stone mountain, unlike the mountains in Huangtuling, where the mountain is full of trees. This Tizi Mountain is a serious stone mountain!
The villager was holding a gourd and patting it behind the Tizi Mountain in Shandong and in the west. But where could he find it? He didn't even know the key to what the gourd was or where to find it. He spent the whole day pounding the gourd on the rocks at the back of Tizi Mountain. When it got dark, he was basically discouraged. He rested against a crack in the stone and took the gourd. Put it in a hole in the stone. When I put it in, I just thought that the gourd was about the same size as the stone cave. It looked very novel, but I didn't think anything of it. However, just when he sat down and wanted to take out the kettle and drink some water, he heard the mountain wall behind him shaking, like an earthquake!
The villagers had never seen this formation before. They quickly got up and ran out for two steps, then looked back at the mountain wall. Only then did I see that the mountain wall was like a huge stone door, opening a gap with a "click-click" sound!
The villager was so frightened by this scene that he sat on the ground for a long time without daring to move. However, seeing that nothing came out of the gap in the mountain gate, he stood up and looked into the gap in fear. It was pitch dark inside the cave, with no lights. The villager was already frightened out of his wits. It was considered good that he didn't scream and run away in fear. But then I thought about the legend of the treasure in Ladder Mountain, and I mustered up my courage and stepped into the dark crevices of the mountain.
Maybe you will say, this is just a story, otherwise no one would go in there, no matter who it is. But in fact, profit is always the driving force that drives people. Let alone stories, in reality, everyone knows that drug trafficking is a brainless business, but drug dealers are not extinct. Even if they know that it is a bottomless pit, there will always be people who will join in it for the benefit of it. This may be the bad nature of human beings.
Let’s talk about this villager. The villager walked in the cave for an unknown amount of time, and finally found a small thatched hut inside. There was an oil lamp burning in the middle of the thatched house, which looked very dim, and there was an old lady sitting in the house, spinning thread.
The villager came forward to ask and said, "Old lady, I heard that there is a treasure in your mountain. I'm here to find the treasure." The old lady looked up at him, and continued spinning in her hands, and said, "I'm just a Old lady, there is no treasure! You should go back quickly, there are wolves, tigers and leopards here, and you will be picked up by wolves, tigers and leopards later!" Although this villager is a farmer, he is not a fool, anyone can understand , this old lady is absolutely extraordinary. So the villagers tried hard to persuade the old lady to give him some treasures. The old lady was helpless, so she said: "I don't have anything for you in my little thatched house. There are two jars in the back room. You can grab some and then leave!"
Cylinder? The villagers were doubtful, but then they thought of the legend of "Nine Crocks and Eighteen Pots". They immediately agreed and then moved to the back room of the thatched house. Only then did I see that the back room was a room similar to a warehouse, not big. There were two large vats in the back room. When he opened the lids on the vats, he saw that one vat was filled with millet and the other was filled with beans. At this time, the villagers smiled bitterly in their hearts, saying that it was rare for them to think that this old lady was a fairy, but it turned out that this was the one in the tank! So, the villagers casually grabbed a handful of millet in one hand and a handful of beans in the other, and walked out of the thatched house without even saying hello.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the door of the thatched house, I heard a tiger roar! When he turned around, he saw a colorful tiger jumping out of the darkness, its eyes gleaming fiercely, and it rushed towards him! The villager was so frightened that he screamed and ran away towards the road he came from.
However, it was pitch dark in the cave, and there was a tiger chasing after him. In his hurry, he had no time to distinguish the path. He turned around in the cave countless times, and was almost caught by the tiger several times. However, he finally ran out of the cave and rushed out from the previous gap.
Strangely enough, as soon as he rushed to the gap, the colorful tiger behind him stopped chasing him and started wandering in the darkness, as if he would fall into the tiger's mouth if he took a step back. Of course, the villager didn't even hesitate and rushed out through the gap. The moment he rushed out of the gap, the entire back mountain shook again, and the gap between the mountain walls closed with a click.
Looking up, it was already bright. Only this time did the villagers remember to look down at their hands. Unexpectedly, due to the fear of running for their lives, all the grains and beans they held in their hands were scattered, leaving only three beans and two grains of millet stuck to their hands. Only then did I realize that the beans were not ordinary beans, but golden beans! And that millet is not an ordinary grain, but a kind of grain called cock-crowing grain. It is said that if this millet is sown at night, it will germinate at dawn when the cock crows tomorrow, and it will bear ears at noon, so it is called cock crow valley. Legend has it that this cock-crowing valley was planted by Shennong, Emperor Yan of that time.
Of course, this is just a story. It’s just an obscure story that came to my mind when I saw the secret place of Lao Tao. But thinking about it, the cave in the story should not be much different from this secret realm.
Return to the secret realm of Huangtu Ridge. I was sitting in a separate courtyard with freshly brewed tea on the table. The old man was sitting on the other side, and standing in front of me were three middle-aged men and women with hanging eyes. To say that the people standing bowed in front of me should be said to be the three fox fairies. Although these three appear in human form, I can still tell at a glance that they are different from humans. You can understand without even thinking that these three people should be the spokespersons of the Huangtu Ridge Fox Clan.
The old glutton took a sip of tea from the tea bowl and said, "Young Master Shi Yan is here today just for the sake of your Fox Clan. If you three have anything to say, please talk." I nodded and agreed. At this time, the leader of the three fox fairies stepped forward and said, "Well, I would like to say hello to the young master." I nodded and smiled, "You're welcome. This matter has something to do with my father. Before I leave, , my father also asked me to solve this matter personally." Speaking of my father, the leader of the fox fairy also lowered his hunched body a little more, and then said: "Yes. A few days ago, those outsiders The Huang family had a big fight with my Hu family in Huangtu Ridge. Fortunately, the young master Mao Ling helped me, and they were able to repel the outsider Huang family. But recently, the outsider Huang family moved out of the backstage, vowing to rob my Fox family’s training place. This The training places of all the tribes in Huangtuling are all decided by the Mountain God, but these Huang family members are talking nonsense and don't take the Mountain God seriously. Thanks to the visit of the young master today, we can feel relieved!"
When he said this, the leader of the fox fairy had some dodge in his eyes, as if he still had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it. I frowned and said, "Do you still have something to say?" The Fox Fairy was stunned by what he said, and then said with a troubled face: "Well, the young master is aware of everything, and I don't dare to hide it. In fact, we are also this morning I just learned that since the young master entered Zunhua, the outsiders from the Huang family have gotten the news and went to invite their backstage!"
