Jing Shizhen took the piano case from Su Xiaofan's hand and walked up the hillside first.
In the past few years, the road leading to Fengmen Village was not closed, and adventurers often came here.
However, as the deaths occurred, the local department set up checkpoints and no longer allowed individuals to enter this place.
Without human traces, the trees and plants in the mountains have grown more lush. Standing under these tall trees, people seem to have become smaller.
"Master, is that a chrysanthemum?"
Su Xiaofan saw a patch of yellow flowers growing on the hillside. What surprised him was that the flower was the size of a bowl and looked a bit like a chrysanthemum in shape.
"Yes, that's the chrysanthemum."
Jing Shizhen nodded and said: "There are four herbs in Jiaocheng, all of which are Chinese medicinal materials. I didn't expect that there are still wild ones in this mountain."
While talking, Jing Shizhen walked to the bottom of the hillside, stepped on a few stones, jumped up lightly, and reached out to pick a chrysanthemum.
After Jing Shizhen jumped down the hillside, Su Xiaofan discovered that the chrysanthemum was even bigger than what he had just seen, it was as big as the mouth of a bowl of the sea.
"The Four Huais are Rehmannia glutinosa, Yam, Chrysanthemum and Achyranthes bidentata, all of which are specialty Chinese medicines from Jiaocheng."
"The medicinal effect of this chrysanthemum is ten times stronger than the ordinary chrysanthemum."
While explaining to Su Xiaofan, Jing Shizhen tore off a piece of chrysanthemum petal and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly.
"Good stuff, Xiaofan, you should take some with you when you go back to the mountains."
Jing Shizhen said: "This chrysanthemum brings the freshness of heaven and earth. Its effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying is not as good as that of chrysanthemum, but its effect of brightening eyesight is far better than that of chrysanthemum. Not bad, not bad!"
"Yes, Master, I will collect more when I go out of the mountain."
Su Xiaofan knew that with his master's knowledge, he could praise him twice in a row. This chrysanthemum was obviously a good thing.
"Sihuai here is really good. I have picked some before and took them out."
Tong Dongjie said from the side: "It's strange that the gas seeping out of the cracks in this space is harmful to people, but it is good for plants. The quality of the Chinese herbal medicine in this mountain is far superior to that grown outside."
"Brother Dong, these medicinal materials are of such high quality, it shouldn't be cheap to sell them outside, right?"
Su Xiaofan asked a little strangely: "Why don't people living nearby come over to pick?"
Su Xiaofan grew up at the foot of the mountain.
As the saying goes, people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. From live wild boars to medicinal plants, people are preying on the mountains.
If it were placed in Mang Mountain, this chrysanthemum would have been exposed to light long ago, not to mention growing on the hillside, but even if it was growing on the cliff.
"People from nearby? Who from nearby dares to come to Fengmen Village?"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Tong Dongjie couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Have you never heard of the vicious reputation of Fengmen Village? Fengmen Village is not just for words. Only those who play outdoors dare to break in here."
Thinking of his business, Tong Dongjie suddenly felt so depressed that he didn't want to talk.
Tong Dongjie is also a tough guy, and he believes that the Tong family is also a family that inherits ancient martial arts. He heard those rumors in the early years and didn't pay much attention to them, so he jumped into it.
"Master, why are there animals here?"
When he came to this place, Su Xiaofan had already let go of his six senses, and his hearing was very sharp. When there was a sound in his ears, Su Xiaofan looked up and saw an owl on a big tree not far away.
"It is true that some animals can survive here, but I don't know why."
Jing Shizhen shook his head. He was not a scientist and had no in-depth research on this environment. He had only seen it a few times.
Along the way, Su Xiaofan found some birds besides the owl, but no reptiles.
Jing Shizhen walked at the front, walking all the way up the hillside. After more than ten minutes, a building appeared in front of several people.
"When you enter here, you have entered Fengmen Village."
Tong Dongjie's voice rang out in the silent mountain forest. Although it was early in the afternoon, it actually gave people a cold feeling.
The entire Fengmen Village is built against the mountain, and the steps leading up are paved with bluestones, and are now covered with vines.
On the wall of the first building, there are words "Closed and exterminated" written on it.
Next to those four words, there are words that reject all feudal superstitions and promote new social trends.
Two different large red fonts, written on a house made of loess stones, look very dazzling.
"This Fengmen Village is backed by mountains and water, so its Feng Shui is very good."
Jing Shizhen did not rush up, but observed from below.
"Who says it's not the case, Uncle Jing, it was because I saw this good feng shui that I decided on the matter."
Hearing Uncle Jing's words, Tong Dongjie sighed, "What a pity, I'm not good at my studies."
"This village is a unique geomantic treasure."
Jing Shizhen looked at it for a while, then pointed to an obviously man-made canal above, and said: "The water above was cut off, causing the river bed below to dry up, and a good geomantic omen was ruined."
"This is the layout of Fengmen. Logically speaking, it should be called Fengmen Village."
Jing Shizhen had a puzzled look on her face.
"Uncle Jing, this used to be called Fengmen Village." Tong Dongjie said: "Later, too many things happened, and it was changed to Fengmen Village, which means to close the door and exterminate the family."
"You can still live if you commit evil by God, but you can't live if you commit misfortune." Jing Shizhen shook his head and walked up.
Entering the village, the surrounding area became more and more dilapidated. There were broken walls everywhere, and the outer skins of the houses that had been in disrepair had all fallen off. Under the cover of the dense trees around them, they looked increasingly dark and damp.
I don’t know whether it was left by the people who moved away or it was a prank by someone who came later. Under the doors of some houses, there are black tied flowers for commemoration hanging.
"Brother Dong, how should we develop this place?"
Looking at the surrounding environment, Su Xiaofan said: "It's okay to develop this place into a ghost village for those who like adventure, but if it is turned into a tourist attraction, will anyone come?"
After Su Xiaofan came up, everything that caught his eye was eerie. Even when the sun was at its brightest, it made people feel a bit cold.
“The environment here is actually quite good.”
Tong Dongjie smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaofan, most of the buildings here are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Look at the tiles on the eaves, they are all from a hundred years ago. It is very impressive to spend some effort to transform it into an ancient village."
The one who started it."
More than ten years ago, Tong Dongjie's group company invested in an ancient village in Dajiang Province.
Tong Dongjie's company preserved the exterior appearance of more than 200 Qing Dynasty buildings, renovated the interiors, and turned it into a five-star resort.
Due to its unique architectural style, the resort attracted many tourists as soon as it was launched. The investment of more than one billion yuan was recouped within ten years, and the company's market value increased significantly.
Tong Dongjie's positioning was the same for Fengmen Village, but what he didn't expect was that there was a space crack here, which shattered his wishful thinking.
"This village is really trying to kill itself."
Entering Fengmen Village, Jing Shizhen kept shaking her head.
"Master, what's wrong?" Su Xiaofan didn't see anything. He only knew a little bit about Feng Shui and was just watching the excitement.
"Look at how these houses are built, none of them face north and south. The good Feng Shui is ruined."
When Jing Shizhen said it, Su Xiaofan could see that most of the houses in this village were indeed oriented east-west, and some were oriented diagonally. They had no regard for the Feng Shui pattern, with the doors and windows facing each other, and no taboos about crossing the hall.
"Hey, Master, there is a house over there that faces north and south."
Su Xiaofan suddenly saw a three-story stone building and walked over quickly. This should be the tallest building in Fengmen Village.
"Xiaofan, that house is a bit evil." Tong Dongjie said as he followed Su Xiaofan.
"Evil nature? Is it haunted?"
Su Xiaofan laughed when he heard this, "I grew up in Mangshan. What I have heard most since I was a child are ghost stories, but I have never seen one. If I can see one here, then my trip here will really be worth it.
"
"Don't be careless. Some things are more difficult to deal with than ghosts." Jing Shizhen also followed.
"Master, do you think this is really a ghost?"
Su Xiaofan curled his lips and asked: "In what form do ghosts exist? Is it a matter or an energy body?"
"After a person dies, does the memory and consciousness of his life remain in a specific environment, and then exists in the soul, forming a ghost?"
Su Xiaofan talked about his speculation. In order to scare his sister, he had read some related articles.
Jing Shizhen shook his head and said: "According to what you said, so many people have died since ancient times, and our planet is full of ghosts."
"Master, what I said is that in a specific environment, there are special characteristics." Su Xiaofan emphasized what he just said.
"It's also possible. In fact, we have this realm in our inheritance."
Jing Shizhen glanced at Tong Dongjie and felt that what she said was not a secret, and then continued: "Taoism has a Yin God and a Yang God. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Ziyang Zhenren once had a Yin God who left his body and traveled hundreds of miles at night.
When the Yin God appears, it is the Yang God, but since the late Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of anyone who can cultivate the Yin God and the Yang God."
"Master, can Yin Shen and Yang Shen leave the body? What's the difference between the two?" Although Su Xiaofan is considered a monk now, he really doesn't know much about Taoism, so he listened with great interest.
"In my opinion, Yin Shen and Yang Shen are both manifestations of spiritual cultivation to the extreme, at least they must be able to cultivate spiritual consciousness.
When the spiritual consciousness is strong, the Yang God can emerge; when the spiritual consciousness is weak, the Yin God can only emerge.
So if you can bring out the Yin God, you may not be able to bring out the Yang God. If you can bring out the Yang God, you can certainly bring out the Yin God. It just depends on whether you want the Yang God or the Yin God."
"Then how can spiritual consciousness be generated?" Su Xiaofan was greatly moved when he heard this and asked quickly.
"If you can break through the realm of Great Zhoutian, you may be able to develop divine consciousness."
Jing Shizhen sighed and said: "Since the Ming Dynasty..."
"Master, I understand, no one has been able to cultivate it since the Ming Dynasty."
Su Xiaofan interrupted the master's words, as if tomorrow had become a turning point, and many things were broken at that time. He had heard these words several times today.
"Master, what is the realm below the Great Zhoutian?"
Su Xiaofan felt that if he had enough repair value to nourish the Great Zhoutian, he might be able to break through to the next level.
