If he had told Gu Zheng something about becoming an immortal or a god in the past, Gu Zheng would have definitely rolled his eyes and stared at him. In the thousands of years of Mohist classics, it is only recorded that there are demons and ghosts in the world, and gods and immortals have never been included in the classics. So Gu Zheng Before the war, I would have thought that gods and immortals were just figments of Taoists.
But since the journey to hell, Gu Zheng has discovered that his previous vision was very short-sighted. Just because he has not seen something, does not mean that it does not exist. People cannot deny the existence of such things just because they have not seen them.
In hell, not only did he see demons and angels, he even ate something from the ancient god of death. Therefore, he changed from a skeptic to a firm believer in the things in the legends. As for the rumors about gods and immortals, he became a firm believer. He was convinced: Why can gods and monsters in the West exist, but why don’t gods and goddesses in China exist?
Master Zhou listened to the story nonchalantly and made some requests, which the old people in the town immediately agreed to.
The existence of that small village is of great significance to this small town. Because many tourists in the city like to go camping and experience farmhouses and so on. The small town is the last town before going to the small village. Guests entering the mountains, When you go in, you will sell a lot of necessities here, and when you go out, you will also buy some local products from the town. Besides, in the small village, almost every household has relatives here, and there are many idle people in this town. City people lead the way and act as guides, and the town has long been associated with the village. Unrest in the small village directly affects the income of the residents of the town.
Master Zhou asked for 200,000 yuan in labor fees, ordered some necessities, and asked people to take them into the mountains together.
Naturally, the townspeople did not refuse, since the money was not paid by them anyway, and the people in the small village would naturally pay it back afterwards. Now that things have become so serious, even if Master Zhou opens his mouth a little louder, he will still pay it back. It doesn't matter, as long as the matter calms down. Anyway, although the village is a bit remote, everyone is rich, so the money can still be scraped together.
Gu Zheng frowned when he heard this.
If this liar went there to mess with things and angered the immortal, I'm afraid things would get even bigger.
Gu Zheng quickly asked an old man next to him about the details of the village.
It turns out that this village is called Liujiazhai. It has been living in the mountains for generations. It has at least about 300 people today. They make a living by hunting, cutting firewood and burning charcoal, and digging mountain bamboo shoots and collecting herbs. They live a self-sufficient life, but they also have contact with the outside world. Intermarriage was still maintained, so most people in the village and the town were related. Later, tourism emerged here, and people in the city liked to go to the mountains, which added a lot of income to the people in the village. Everyone lived a prosperous life. .The relationship with the town is also very harmonious.
Gu Zheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He sighed again in his heart. If there weren't people in the village who were greedy, why would they be like this? This place looks similar to a paradise, but in fact there are still people who die for money and birds for money. The iron law of death-eating. It’s just that Gu Zheng knew that if he didn’t encounter such a thing, it would be fine, but if he encountered it, he couldn’t ignore it. A matter of hundreds of lives couldn’t allow him to be careless.
Just when Gu Zheng was thinking about how to deal with this matter, Master Zhou also called on a few locals on the spot and asked them to help carry in the necessary tools for Master Zhou's practice. What surprised Gu Zheng was that he actually He was also noticed by the master this week. However, after Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, he realized that he was tall and about 1.8 meters tall. This kind of figure was already considered outstanding among the others in the small town. Coupled with his youthful appearance and abundant strength, he is naturally a good helper as a coolie.
Naturally, Gu Zheng would not refuse, but all the men who were targeted frowned. There were so many ghosts in Liujiazhai. Who of them would want to go to such an unlucky place?
But Master Zhou also had some tricks. He immediately announced that everyone who went to help get something would be rewarded with RMB 3,000. With the incentive of money, everyone reluctantly agreed. Of course, Master Zhou himself would not suffer a loss. The money has to be paid by the people in Liujiazhai, and regardless of whether the people in Liujiazhai give the money or not, Master Zhou can't delay the money anyway, so he has to collect a deposit of 100,000 yuan first. Gu Zheng also received it. One thousand yuan, and I had a meal under the arrangement of the town.
People in the town were in panic, and no one paid attention to this strange face.
After finishing the meal, it was already close to 11 o'clock at noon. Master Zhou was picking his teeth with toothpicks while calling everyone to get tools to go up the mountain. Master Zhou had a lot of tools, from the Eight Immortals Table to the Golden Curse, as well as many pots and jars. I don't know what's inside.
The first part of the journey was fine, and you could drive directly onto the road. Gu Zheng held two long benches that were said to have been polished by Master Zhou between his legs, sat in a local's car and ran towards the deep mountains. Although these years, The country has invested hugely in infrastructure construction, but there is still not much coverage in these deep mountains. After a mile of cement and asphalt, the roads become bumpy. It rained last night, so there is quite a lot of water. It's okay now, but if there is light snow in the mountains in another month, the road will become even more muddy.
After a bumpy journey in the car, the road disappeared. Everyone could only carry their belongings and walk up the mountain road. It was cool in the mountains and they didn’t sweat even though they were driving in broad daylight. There were only two benches on Gu Zheng’s shoulders. The weight is less than half of his ancient sword, so it is naturally very light.
While walking, Gu Zheng asked a man next to him how long it would take to get to Liujiazhai. Gu Zheng had come up on his motorcycle before. Everyone called this man Lao Zhang, one of the many guides in the town. One, he also opened a mountain delicacies shop in a small town and was very familiar with this area.
"Well, you can see Liujiazhai after climbing up this mountain ridge, but it still takes about an hour and a half to walk. In the past, there would have been many people on this road, but this time, there is no one smoking... ..." Lao Zhang's mouth couldn't be closed once he opened it. His ability as a guide came into play, and he kept talking for a while.
After climbing up the mountain ridge, as Lao Zhang said, Liujiazhai appeared in front of everyone.
Liujiazhai was built according to the mountain topography. It is halfway up the mountain. At a glance, it can be seen that it is quite old. However, there is a thin layer of gray fog lingering around the village, making it look hazy.
When Gu Zheng saw the gray mist, he couldn't help but take a breath and sighed: "What a strong death breath!"
