I was interested in the Yapo and Zaizai temples in the village. While the old lady entered the house, I secretly called Xiao Tang aside.
Xiao Tang's father was working in another place. He left Xiao Tang a broken silver-white Nikon mobile phone with an antenna that could be pulled out. It was still usable, but it had stopped working a long time ago.
I gave Xiao Tang a 20-yuan phone recharge card, and I said, "Sister, as long as you tell me where that Zaizai Temple and Yapo are, I will give you this phone card."
I pointed at the card and said, "Just scratch it here, send the number via text message, and your phone will be credited."
She thought for a while, took the phone card and said, "I don't dare to take you there, but I can tell you the location."
Xiao Tang thought for a while and then said in a low voice: "Zai Zailing is a big mound. There is a small pond next to the mound. You go around the pond and enter the woods. Zaizai Temple is a very small stone temple.
Behind a big tree in the woods."
Xiao Tang continued: "Ya Po lives at the end of the village. There is a cowshed in front of her house, and the cowshed is next to her house."
"Yeah. I understand."
My asking this is actually a kind of cliché. After all, we are new here and we are not familiar with the place. It would be beneficial for us to know more about it.
After charging my phone for a while, Li Tiecheng and I said goodbye to Xiao Tang and went back.
After I got back, I told the boss what I had learned. After hearing this, the boss frowned and said: "On the way we drove here, I observed this place. Although this place is remote, the mountains do not block the water, and the water surrounds the mountains. From the Feng Shui point of view,
, these can be regarded as spiritual mountains and beautiful waters, suitable for burials, sacrifices and temples.”
Because there was no electricity, Li Tiecheng asked for a candle from the homeowner. He lit the candle with a lighter, fanned it and said, "Yes, Xian Sheng. In 2001, the Yongzhou Cultural Relics Bureau organized a folk archeology, and they finally characterized this place."
It became a gathering place for sacrificial culture and is said to be related to Emperor Shun."
"Emperor Shun? Who is Emperor Shun? Which dynasty is he from? Why haven't I heard of it?" Dou Yazai asked.
Brother Yu said that I knew that Emperor Shun was the one who controlled the water.
"Have you ever been to school?"
Xiaoxuan smiled and said: "It was Dayu who controlled the floods. Dayu controlled the floods, not Shun."
"What do you think of the head?" I asked.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are prehistoric sayings. It was first said in the Warring States Period.
It came out, and that period was three thousand years earlier than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There is no written record, and it is all based on the imagination of the ancients."
"Besides, after so many years in the industry, they all talk about the Xia Dynasty. I have never seen an ancient Xia tomb, and I have never heard of anyone entering a Xia Dynasty tomb."
"Stop chatting. It's almost twelve o'clock. Go back to your room and sleep. We'll go see that place tomorrow."
"Yunfeng Douya, Wenbin and Xiaoxuan, you go to the east room and squeeze in. Lao Li and Lao Xue live in this room. By the way, bring a candle over there, otherwise you won't be able to see."
I went to the east room to light candles. The situation was a little awkward because Xiaoxuan was there and I was too embarrassed to take off my clothes.
Xiaoxuan was very carefree. She took off her clothes and got into bed wearing her autumn clothes and long trousers and turned her back. Only then did we dare to take off our clothes.
Brother Yu was too strong, so he squeezed me in. There was nothing I could do, so I had no choice but to lean against the wall, so that I was right next to Xiaoxuan.
Although we were both wearing autumn clothes and long trousers, we were sleeping together, and my feet were right next to Xiao Xuan’s feet.
Less than half an hour later, Dou Sprout started snoring, and Brother Yu closed his eyes evenly and seemed to have fallen asleep.
At this time, Xiaoxuan hooked my foot with her foot.
I whispered, what are you going to do?
She didn't say anything, just kept rubbing me up and down with her heels.
I kicked her aside and whispered: "Go to sleep, don't make trouble."
Not only was Xiaoxuan disobedient, she also went to extreme lengths and directly pestered me.
I push my toes downwards, intending to guard my Dantian, and the top of my tongue and palate are pure and calm.
The method Xie Qirong taught me was really effective, and I soon stopped feeling it.
A night of silence.
The next day I was woken up by the sound of movement outside. Brother Yu had already gotten up, and Dou Sprout and Xiao Xuan were still sleeping with their heads covered.
I sat up and asked, "Brother Yu, what's happening outside?"
Brother Yu pointed outside and said, "I just went out and took a look. It seemed like a big pot of rice was being cooked. A lot of people came. Those children all had their cloth bags. I don't know what they were doing."
get dressed
You'll know once you go out and ask around.
It turned out that the village brigade was making pig-killing rice to welcome the Lantern Festival, and the cloth pockets carried by the children were filled with food given by each family, including popcorn, melon seeds and peanuts.
Anyone can eat this pig-killing rice, as long as they bring a bowl. We borrowed a bowl from the landlord and ate one bowl each. At around 12 noon, we went to Guizailing while the villagers were eating.
When the local villagers asked about Guizailing, they all looked away, but Xiao Tang pointed in the direction. Xiao Tang said that he could not drive there, but could only walk, and it was about three miles south from the village head.
When we arrived at the place with our bags, we saw a large hill rising from the ground in the distance.
There are trees on the hills. In winter, the branches are bare and leafless, making them look very desolate.
"Boss, is this Guiziling?" I asked, looking around.
"It should be. Weird"
"What's wrong?"
He turned his head and asked, "Junior brother, don't you feel it? What the locals call Guiziling is just a big mound, a bit like a sealed mound."
"What?"
I looked back and forth and said in surprise: "Such a big mound of earth? This tomb can't have such a large mound of earth, right? The Mausoleum of the First Emperor?"
Uncle Xue said: "Xian Sheng, I also feel this way, but it shouldn't be the case.
"The Yongzhou Cultural Relics Bureau once conducted a large-scale archaeological exploration of tombs near Tupo. If there were any, they should have been discovered long ago. Lao Wang (Wang Junhua) came more than a month ago, and then there was suddenly no news about him."
"Um."
"Be careful," he said, frowning at the big slope, "I don't know why, I don't feel very good."
Before entering Guizailing, there was a lot of burnt paper ashes on the ground at the entrance. I looked up and saw a lot of red ribbons hanging on the bare branches. On the red ribbons, some ethnic minority characters were written with a brush. I don’t know what they were used for.
.
There was originally sunshine at around one o'clock in the afternoon, but after we entered the forest, the sunshine was instantly blocked by the branches, and the ground was covered with thick dead leaves, which felt soft under our feet.
After walking for a few minutes, Douyazai suddenly said: "Hey! Come and see, why are there so many stone men here!"
> I saw, very strange stone carvings, I have never seen anything like it.
There are stone figures everywhere on the ground, some with half body or full body, the big ones are about two meters long, and the small ones are only tens of centimeters.
Most of these stone carvings are half-buried in dead leaves. The faces of the stone figures are severely weathered and have many pits, giving the impression that they were from a long, long time ago.
Dou Sprout stood up, looked at it and said, "Hey, this is so fucking ugly. Who carved it? It looks like a joke, why does it look like this?"
I also find it strange, because the stone figure standing up like a bean sprout looks very much like a character in a TV series.
Have you seen "The Joyful Pig Bajie"?
There is a person named "Lawless" in this TV series.
His end was long and conical, just like this stone man.
"Botou, what age is this stone carving? Why can't I tell?"
He thought for a while, frowned and said: "Curious stone carvings. No traces of knife cuts can be seen on the whole body. The age may be far older than the Warring States Period, and there are so many of them. If it is the late Neolithic period before the Shang Dynasty, there would be no iron carving tools."
How could so many stone sculptures be made under such circumstances?”
After finishing talking, he asked us: "Which of you brought water? Pour some water on the surface and see how the water absorption is."
"No need to bother."
"Watch me wash his hair!"
Douyazai turned his back to us and took off his pants, and began to urinate sparingly, peeing all over the stone man.
Not a drop of water flowed down, it was instantly absorbed by the weathered and rough stone.
We are looking at it in amazement.
Suddenly, the sound of a dog barking came from behind.
"Hi!"
"The poles are here to carry it!
"Old Mapi! A short-lived ghost will die short!"
When I looked back, I saw a middle-aged man holding a big wolf dog, pointing at our group and yelling curses.
This man also had a watch in his hand, and he kept looking at the watch in a panic while cursing.
I do not know what it meant.
