Before Huamaguai responded to Zhang Lin, Chen Yulou, who was looking at the landscape, came over, stood in front of Zhang Lin and said, "Taoist priest, what are you and Huamaguai talking about?"
Seeing Chen Yulou coming over, Huama stood up and gave way, went to one side to eat a big cake, and gave the space to the two of them.
When Zhang Lin saw that it was Chen Yulou who was asking, he smiled and said, "We didn't talk about anything, just some family stuff."
Chen Yulou nodded when he heard this, but did not go into details. Instead, he asked: "The Taoist master's accent doesn't sound like that of Xiangxi and Hunan, but it sounds like that of Bashu."
Zhang Lindao: "The boss has great views. I am indeed from Bashu. This time I went down the mountain to travel around the world. After traveling here, I was invited by the old lady to accompany Mr. Chen to see the world."
Chen Yulou said: "In troubled times, if the Taoist priest is not on the mountain to serve the founder of the Three Qing Dynasties, why should he suffer at the foot of the mountain?"
Zhang Lin did not answer when he heard this, but asked instead: "Then Mr. Chen doesn't protect his family's property and enjoys glory and wealth, so why would he come to this poisonous place to take risks?"
Seeing Chen Yulou smiling and saying nothing, Zhang Lin sang: "I sigh long to cover my tears. I am sorry for how difficult people's lives are."
Chen Yulou heard this and thought to himself, isn't this what he and Luo Laowai said before they came out? It seems that although this Taoist priest was invited by the old man, he is also a member of his generation.
So he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Yu Lou has a stupid eye, but he didn't know he was so righteous."
Zhang Lin also stood up and said: "The general manager Miao praised me, Gao Yi can't be mentioned. It's just that when I was passing through Xiangyin, I heard what the general commander did, and I wanted to make acquaintance with him.
But I didn't want to meet Gui Gaotang by chance, talk about it, and forget about it. I was entrusted by him to come here to help the general manager.
Chen Yulou felt quite uncomfortable when he heard this.
The meaning of what Zhang Lin said is: I originally came here because I admired your name Chen Yulou and wanted to make friends with you, but by some strange combination of circumstances, I became friends with your father. Now I am here to watch on behalf of your father.
your.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yulou didn't know how to continue the conversation with Zhang Lin.
By chance, Luo Laowai, who was standing by, failed to tease Miss Hong at this time, and was frightened by Miss Hong with a flying knife, so he complained to Zhang Lin and tried to appease the two of them.
Zhang Lin saw Chen Yulou's back and smiled slightly. Now that he has a relationship with his father and his peers, as long as he shows his muscles appropriately, Pingshan and his party will have the most say.
When Chen Yulou makes mistakes in giving orders, he can also avoid some tragedies.
After all, this trip may be related to your own mission.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the mission of this world.
When Zhang Lin, Chen Yulou and his party left Xiangyin and embarked on this tomb robbing journey, the main mission was already generated. There are two main missions:
[Pingshan trip]: In the Pingshan tomb robbery operation, try to minimize the losses of the Xiling faction. The final settlement will be based on the number of survivors and the fortune points will be calculated.
[Travel to Blackwater City]: Obtain the trust of Partridge Whistle, explore Blackwater City with him, and calculate the fortune points based on the level of exploration.
These two tasks forced Zhang Lin to put in some effort.
Therefore, a qualified identity is best.
Zhang Lin's first plan was to find a reason and an opportunity to challenge Chen Yulou's two powerful men: Red Girl and Kunlun Moller.
Entering the core of this operation with force, although he initially had little say in the team, he could still show his image of "turning the tide" in the future, gain Chen Yulou's trust, and slowly gain the right to say.
But by some mistake, I didn't expect that I would end up getting involved with the old man of Chen Yulou's family by saying something casually on the street. God had arranged this, and if I didn't accept it, wouldn't it be abusing God's gift?
Therefore, Zhang Linfang told Chen Yulou openly and secretly that he was his elder.
China has been a country based on patriarchal systems since ancient times, and respecting the elderly is a tradition.
Although the Republic of China is upright and old, new and old ideas are constantly colliding, but no one can shake this foundation.
Therefore, Chen Yulou felt paralyzed by the sudden appearance of this elder, so he found an excuse to leave. He was even thinking secretly about how to send Zhang Lin away.
Otherwise, if Zhang Lin intervenes in the situation where he is already dominant, he will not be able to offend him.
After all, fame is hard to earn! As the top spot in Changsheng Mountain, I rely not only on strength, but also on reputation.
Hong Gu, who was supposed to teach Luo Laowai a lesson, saw Chen Yulou approaching with a dark face. She didn't know the situation and thought she had done something wrong, and said: "The boss..."
Chen Yulou stopped Miss Hong who was about to speak and said: "I want to inform everyone to hurry up after eating and arrive at the village before dark. Otherwise, there are so many poisonous insects and wild animals in Laoxiong Ridge that you will suffer a lot at night."
Luo Laowai said from the side: "What you say makes sense, but according to the map, there are many villages near Lao Xiong Ridge. I wonder where we should go?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Chen Yulou. Seeing this, Chen Yulou said with confidence: "Don't worry, everyone. Before I left last night, I watched the sky at night and saw that the stars of the Big Dipper were dim. I also thought that the South Dipper is for life and the Big Dipper is for death. Since ancient times,
Having said that, we are going to go into the mountains to look for ancient tombs at this moment, but we may not have the right time, so why not avoid the north and go south, and go to the south village of Laoxiong Ridge first?"
Hearing this, everyone agreed and followed Chen Yulou towards Nanzhai.
Nearing the afternoon, everyone finally arrived at the location of Nanzhai. Standing on a mountain ridge, Chen Yulou told the group that the residents here were Han and Yi. They should not move rashly after entering. They should follow the local customs and avoid any disputes among the people here.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Chen Yulou glanced at Zhang Lin who was standing aside. Seeing that Zhang Lin also nodded, everyone entered Nanzhai.
But as the saying goes: A wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot.
Chen Yulou and his entourage were thinking of everything when they came in, but they did not expect that the village had been robbed by thieves not long ago. Therefore, when the people in the village saw outsiders coming in, they surrounded them without saying a word and asked the group to leave.
Seeing that the conflict was about to break out, fortunately Chen Yulou remained calm and calm, and quickly stated that the group of people were merchants and merchants who only came to exchange for mountain goods and had no malicious intentions.
The villagers of Nanzhai heard that they were merchants and salesmen. They took the lead to check that the group of people indeed had a lot of goods, and then dispersed and surrounded them with doubts.
Seeing that the people in the village had dispersed and surrounded them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Yulou opened the goods carried by Kunlun Molle and asked the people in the village to come and exchange them for themselves.
Most of the territory in western Hunan is deep mountains and old forests, with inconvenient access. The most valuable thing in this territory is salt, which itself has been regarded as the hardest currency by the locals.
There is often a saying: "three kilos of rice and one pound of salt", which shows how precious salt is here.
Since the group had planned carefully in advance, the things they brought were all urgently needed by the mountain people, and they did not care about petty profits like ordinary merchants. They were quite popular among the people. Without much effort, they finished the business and found another
The local natives begged for a few bowls of water, pretended to drink water and rest, and inquired about the ancient tombs in Pingshan. Chen Yulou even pretended to read Feng Shui to find the shady house and inquire about the paths in the mountains. As expected, he asked the questions from the mountain residents without hesitation.
Got some clues.
The Lao Xiong Ridge beside the Mengdong River is a large lofty mountain range with an altitude of thousands of feet. Bears often appeared in the mountains in ancient times. It is also said that the ancestor of the Miao people, the Miao King "Chi You", was the incarnation of a giant bear, so Lao Xiong
This is how the mountain got its name. It is the sacred mountain where cave people originated. There are many ancient ruins left in the mountain forest.
There is also a strange peak called "Pingshan" deep in the Laoxiong Ridge. It is named because it looks like a bottle falling from the sky and looks like it was made by divine power.
There are many unknown exotic flowers and plants on the mountain, and there are countless natural caves with crisscrossed caves and ravines inside, which are unfathomable and difficult for ordinary people to reach.
And because Xiangxi has been rich in cinnabar since ancient times, and cinnabar is an indispensable raw material for alchemy, so from the Qin and Han Dynasties, emperors of various dynasties continued to send warlocks to Pingshan to refine the elixir of immortality. They also built Taoist temples in the caves, and used various methods to
Filling it with treasures and asking immortals for medicine, it is like treating it as a fairyland in a Taoist cave.
After an unknown dynasty and nearly a thousand years of management, the caves in Pingshan have become full of palaces and palaces, and the towers and pavilions are better than those in the human world.
However, the elixir of immortality was not refined. Instead, it was poisoned by erysipelas and spawned many poisonous insects and strange beasts.
When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the people of the Yuan Dynasty were brutal. Some cave people in the mountains could not bear the tyranny and gathered people to rebel.
The people of the Yuan Dynasty sent soldiers and generals to massacre the cave dwellers in Laoxiong Ridge, and the cave dwellers in each cave were almost massacred to extinction.
However, because the Yuan army was not adapted to the hot and humid environment in the mountains, the plague spread among the army and suffered heavy losses. The general who commanded the army also died here.
Later, in order to suppress the cave people and prevent them from rebelling, the Yuan people used Pingshan Mountain as a tomb to bury their fallen soldiers. The rare objects in the Taoist temple in the cave were used as burial objects, and the remaining cave people were massacred.
For burial, the mountain was sealed with molten copper, molten iron, and huge stones, and a large treasure was buried deep in the tomb. Without sealing or trees, descendants could always access the tomb passage and underground palace.
These legends have been passed down orally for hundreds of years among the mountain people in Laoxiong Mountain. Everyone knows that there is a huge ancient tomb in Pingshan, but it is limited to this. No one knows the detailed content. After all, back then
Almost all the cave dwellers in each cave were killed by the Yuan people and served as sacrifices.
When Chen Yulou heard this, he was determined.
Two generations of leaders from his ancestors also came here, but because they failed to return home, they seldom mentioned it.
Today we found the rightful owner, it's time for him to do something big.
Chen Yulou was asking around here, but Kunlun Moller had another problem over there.
It turned out that when exchanging goods, the revolver hidden by Luo Laowai was accidentally exposed and was discovered by the villagers.
When the villagers used a gun, Luo Laowai pulled out the gun and pointed it at the villagers. The relationship was tense for a while. Fortunately, Chen Yulou did have two brushes and said that the guns were brought by them in exchange for goods, but they were American goods and very expensive.
When the villagers heard this, and Luo Laowai also surrendered, they continued to exchange goods.
When Chen Yulou saw that the situation had calmed down, he glared at Luo Laowai. Luo Laowai knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled awkwardly.
Chen Yulou had no choice but to help the villager children in front of him to obtain more information. He also intended to let him be a guide to take them into Pingshan.
The children were cautious and kind-hearted. When they heard that a group of people wanted to enter Pingshan, they tried to dissuade them and told all kinds of shocking rumors about Pingshan.
However, money has moved people's hearts since ancient times. In the end, the group used the goods brought by Luo Laowai as reward, and invited the child Rongbao Xiaoye as a guide to take them into Pingshan.
As soon as the child saw so many goods, he immediately forgot about the horror of Pingshan and accepted it.
The group had already chosen a guide, and the elders in the village told Chen Yulou and others that because of the injustice in the world in recent years, bandits and horse thieves had been too violent, so there had always been rules here and no outsiders were allowed to spend the night in the village.
Thieves come like combs, soldiers come like goads, and bandits come like shaved heads. If the thieves come in, it will be a brutal bloodbath. Therefore, the gate of the village must be closed at night to prevent any outside guests from sneaking in to prevent thieves and bandits from sneaking in. .
Although they seemed to be honest people who engaged in small business and were by no means thieves who committed murder and swindled goods, they still couldn't break the rules for them, so they asked the group to get out of the mountain as soon as it was still dark.
Chapter completed!
