Wang Zhiqing was surprised now, and everyone else was also curious, even Chen Ran was no exception. Although he knew such a place, he only knew the name, but did not know the specific situation.
Boss Zhao frowned, shook his head and said: "Gui Xiong Ridge is surrounded by lake water. The lake water is very clear. The strange thing is that there is no fish in the lake. I heard from people of my grandfather's generation that there is a big water monster in the lake."
, all the fish were eaten by the big water monster. They often used this to scare us children and not allow us to bathe in the lake. They also told us that our Palm Village used to be in Guixiong Ridge, because of the lake.
They moved here because of the big water monster there, and the Ghost Bear Ridge is even more scary. I heard from my grandfather that there are countless mountain monsters and hungry ghosts hidden in the Ghost Bear Ridge, who specialize in eating children and women, and men.
No, my grandfather said that he had seen it with his own eyes. Just because he was a man, those monsters and evil spirits did not eat him. Others had also seen it with their own eyes, which scared us children so much that we did not dare to go there.
Later, the children no longer knew about this place, and only us old guys knew about it..."
Although what Boss Zhao said was scary, what he said over and over again was full of rumors and untrue content. There was very little definite information, and they were all just heard from word of mouth by people of their grandfather's generation and witnessed with their own eyes.
I did, but I didn’t.
There are so many ghost stories like this in the countryside in the ravines, and there is no village that doesn’t have them. They all talk about people who have noses and eyes. For example, when you are crossing the mountain road at night, you suddenly meet an acquaintance, etc. There are too many ghost stories. Everyone tells them.
When telling stories, they will also emphasize that they are themselves or that someone has seen it with their own eyes, but the fact is...
Therefore, everyone present did not take it to heart. However, out of caution, Wang Zhiqing still asked people of the generation of Boss Zhao from Palm Village to come over and inquire about it. As a result, some useful information was actually obtained.
, this information was all asked from the mouth of Yue Laosan of the Yue family.
Yue Laosan is older than Zhao Laosan. According to Zhao Laosan, Yue Laosan was a troublemaker when he was a child. When Zhao Laosan went to serve as a soldier, Yue Laosan also worked as a bandit, but later he became a mountain man.
The bandit leader was beaten to death, and his gang of bandits dispersed. Yue Laosan didn't know anything, and he was just a mixed bag. When his gang of bandits dispersed, he simply returned to Pa Zhang Village. It was very glorious.
I became an old man.
Yue Laosan had been a bandit, and he was inherently daring. In addition, he didn't really believe what the older generation said about the hairy water monster. Although he was a lazy man who neither hunted nor farmed, he was still a wild man in the mountains.
When the grapes and wild peaches are ripe, he runs to the mountains more frequently than anyone else.
And every time he goes into the mountains, he has to run to Guixiong Ridge. Anyone who has been into the mountains knows that when he comes back from the mountains, his body is usually sore and itchy, and in this part of the mountains, there are only
There is a lake in Guixiong Ridge. When you get there, you can take off your clothes, jump into the lake, and stab yourself hard. It will be like a living god.
No one else dared to go to Ghost Bear Ridge. Only Yue Laosan was not afraid. However, one time when he was taking a bath, he suddenly saw a big black shadow on the lake, which seemed to be able to move.
People like Mr. Yue actually have a bold appearance, but they often hide a more timid heart than others. At that time, he was almost frightened to death, and when he realized what he was doing, he burst into tears.
After entering the lake, I didn't even have time to put on my clothes, so I ran back to the village naked.
He is also a person with a good face, so he did not spread the word about this matter. If Chen Ran and the armed police following them had not frightened him, I am afraid he would not have said it. Of course, these dirty things about him would have no impact on Chen Ran.
To them, no one was interested. What interested them was Yue Laosan's description of Ghost Bear Ridge.
Boss Zhao and the others had only seen Guixiong Ridge from a long distance away. There was a lot of fog in the deep mountains, and they were far away, so they couldn’t see the specific topography of Guixiong Ridge clearly. However, Yue Laosan had seen it with his own eyes. According to Yue Laosan,
The third description is that Gui Xiong Ridge looks like the head of a beast. It is also said that there is a dilapidated stone tablet on Gui Xiong Ridge with the word "bear" on it.
Hearing what he said, everyone present could not guess the meaning of the bear's head on the piece of cloth. Isn't it the Ghost Bear Ridge?
In fact, when Boss Zhao said that Gui Xiong Ridge was surrounded by lakes, Chen Ran guessed that Gui Xiong Ridge was actually Xiongtou Mountain, because according to the records on the cloth, there were lakes all around Xiongtou Mountain.
I came up with a theory, saying that it is the flowing water of the Tianhe River. In addition to this lake, there should be a mountain in every direction around Xiongtou Mountain...
"Xiao Ran, you are really my lucky star..." After Boss Zhao and the others left the room, Wang Zhiqing was so excited that he couldn't help laughing at Chen Ran. He thought that there was no way to recover from the situation.
, I didn’t expect that suddenly another village would become brighter.
At this moment, no one else could say anything. Even Li Hongji, who thought Chen Ran was blind, had to admit that Chen Ran was really fooled. If it had been someone else, it would have been nothing, but Chen Ran admitted that
The word "bear" played a key role. After all, according to Yue Laosan, there is a stone tablet in Guixiong Ridge, and there is a word "bear" on the stone tablet. If Chen Ran was really blind, why did he get the word "bear"?
ah.
Except for Li Hongji, who was a little depressed, everyone else laughed relaxedly. Both Professor Yue and Cao Lin had a good impression of Chen Ran at this moment. Cao Lin and Fan Hong are senior archaeological researchers. Generally speaking, Qian Ran
Their line of work is a bit dull, that is, they don't talk if they can. Although they didn't say anything to Chen Ran, their attitude towards Chen Ran has obviously changed.
It can be said that it was only at this time that Chen Ran was integrated into the archaeological team. Next, Wang Zhiqing and Professor Yue discussed the following actions.
Mr. Ma took Chen Ran to study the shaman writing, but how could Chen Ran tell him the reason? He could only make it up according to the previous one, and said that these two characters were his friends.
What I told him when I handed the pendant to him was just these two words.
Chen Ran was also a little depressed about this. He found that since he got the superpower, he had become more and more depraved. If nothing else, he told more and more lies. But no matter what, he would continue to degenerate.
Go down.
Although Mr. Ma was a little disappointed, he was still very excited. The twenty-one original shamanic texts that he studied did not include the two characters pointed out by Chen Ran. This would mean that from twenty-one to
There are twenty-three, and they were researched by China. Together with the previous ones, although they are not at the forefront of the study of original shaman texts, at least they are not behind.
As a result, Mr. Ma couldn't wait to declare these two words to the International Writing Research Association immediately. His enthusiasm shocked Chen Ran. Chen Ran quickly asked Mr. Ma not to declare these two words when submitting the application.
If he talks about it, don't even mention him when you talk to anyone in the future.
At Chen Ran's request, Mr. Ma finally agreed, and even praised Chen Ran, saying that young people who don't like to be famous like Chen Ran are rare. In response, Chen Ran could only smile bitterly. If he
He doesn't have any secrets. It's good to be famous, and he's not afraid of being famous, but he has some secrets that can't be known to outsiders, so he can only keep a low profile as much as possible. As I said, celebrities can't keep secrets.
Chen Ran had a good discussion here, and Wang Zhiqing had a good discussion there. After discussion, it was finally decided to go into the mountains to Guixiong Ridge after lunch. Everyone was in high spirits, but no one cared about what Yue Laosan said about the water monster.
And so on. After all, Yue Laosan didn't see the water monster with his own eyes. He just said that he saw a black shadow. This black shadow is not necessarily a water monster. Besides, I don't know whether what he said is true or not. There are rumors of water monsters all over the country.
Still less.
Lunch was still very sumptuous and authentic, including a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, mushroom stewed with chicken soup, and wild rabbits brought from the mountains. The Lao Qin family even brought a pheasant brought from their own home.
The ginseng wine soaked in it made everyone have a great appetite.
After eating and drinking, they brought necessary items for the field and archaeological tools, leaving behind some staff and interns from the research institute. Under the leadership of Boss Zhao, a group of people headed into the mountains in a mighty manner.
among.
When Chen Ran and the others entered the mountain, they didn't realize that behind them, a group of people were following them secretly...
