This legend about the origin of Longming County told by Zhou Xiaoshe is well known to all women and children in Longming County.
From the white-haired old man to the seven or eight-year-old children, everyone is very proud of and familiar with this legend. But when asked who the primitive man was who took away Zhuge Liang's coffin, no one could tell.
.
I, Zhou Xiaoshe, Monk Zhangzhi, Su Jin and Lao Guang sat at the same table. Under the temptation of money, Lao Guang also confirmed the reliability of this rumor to us, saying that the county magistrate of Longming County was really like this.
recorded.
I couldn't help but curiously asked him: "Old Guang, do you know where the primitive people who took away Zhuge Liang's coffin came from?"
Lao Guang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Boss, I can't answer your question. Things that happened over so many years must be exaggerated."
"Then why do you keep saying that they are primitive people?"
"It is rumored that those who took away Zhuge Liang's coffin were just like savages. They were only wrapped in rags. The weapons they held were some sticks and bows and arrows. Their faces were painted with strange patterns and colors. They were simply
It doesn't look like people living nearby, but like the primitive tribes in the mountains. Later, it was recorded in the county annals that these people carried Zhuge Liang's coffin and traveled south..."
After Lao Guang finished speaking, he drew a circle on the table with his finger and said, "That place is in the direction of Yaolong Ridge."
Regarding Yaolong Ridge, I haven’t had time to explain it to Zhou Xiaoshe and Monk Zhangzhi.
So taking this opportunity, I quickly told the two of them the target guided by the human skin map.
Monk Zhangzhi was okay, but when Zhou Xiaoshe heard this, he immediately felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Zhou Xiaoshe jumped up directly, with his feet on the bench and a cigarette in his mouth. He shouted: "Old man, monk, what are we still hesitating about? We already know the target, so let's go!"
"Sit down and dive in without even making a plan. Do you have three heads and six arms, or nine lives?" I rolled my eyes.
"Xiaodao doesn't have three heads and six arms, nor nine lives, but he has a heart to explore the unknown and take risks. No darkness or difficulty can stop Xiaodao from fighting... Bah, it's the determination to liberate those tombs that have never seen the light of day..."
"You're a damn talent too. You can fight backwards and forwards, and you can still be said to be so high-sounding."
When Zhou Xiaoshe and I said this, Lao Guang, who had no longer wanted to take us there just now, shook his head.
Lao Guang said: "Boss, do you still want to look for Zhuge Liang's tomb? I advise you to give up. Not to mention how dangerous the place you are going to go along the way is, just because you have this purpose, you will probably have to do it."
Planted on Exiled Mountain."
"What's the meaning?"
"I have also heard that there are several primitive tribes living in the area of Banished Mountain, including Zhuge Liang's tribe. In addition, some bold travel enthusiasts and explorers have entered Banished Mountain over the years.
Mountain, but no one has come back alive... So bosses, I hope you can think more about it. If you want to go elsewhere, I, Lao Guang, will take you there immediately. But if you want to go to Kokang and Banished Mountain, Lao Guang
I really can’t take on this job..."
Lao Guang's words were extremely firm.
I couldn't help frowning. It seemed that this was really not a matter of money. The Kokang area was currently in war, which could be considered a man-made disaster, but the Exile Mountain area was a truly dangerous place. Think about it from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Ming Dynasty.
Hundreds of thousands of criminals were deported there, and only a few survived in the end. It can be seen that the horror of the Exile Mountain is by no means groundless.
Zhou Xiaoshe and I looked at each other, knowing that we should not push Lao Guang too hard now. This guy is a local snake in Longming County. If we want to really start this trip, we can only count on him to find a way.
"Old Guang, let's not talk about anything else, let's just drink. I'm treating you today." I said with a smile.
When it comes to drinking, Lao Guang's eyes suddenly light up, and he can tell at a glance that he is addicted to alcohol.
I didn't hesitate and quickly asked the restaurant to bring out all the good wine.
In Longming County, which is based on the mountains, not only the mountain-flavored dishes are used in cooking, but also the wine is brewed from mountain animals. So what about the mountain snake wine and the tiger whip wine? They are all either made from the mountains or buried in the ground.
The wine was extremely strong. After one sip, it felt like there was a fire in my body going straight to my head.
While drinking, Zhou Xiaoshe and I poured wine into Lao Guang's mouth while intentionally or unintentionally asking him about the Banished Mountain and Yaolong Ridge... As for the Zhangzhi monk, after continuously rejecting Lao Guang's questions
After several toasts, he silently sat aside and read a scripture, saying that it was for the animals we ate today and the wine we brewed...
I have seen the weirdness of the Master Monk, and I ignored him at the moment. It just made me feel weird. Su Jin, who often said in front of me that he didn't like men drinking, now kept urging me to drink more tiger penis.
When she heard from the hotel owner that their local men’s favorite leopard whip wine had aphrodisiac properties, she smiled and ordered me a bottle of the most expensive leopard whip wine, and glanced directly at me with her beautiful eyes.
…
I can't think too much about Su Jin's thoughts, my tongue is already a little wet.
Looking at Zhou Xiaoshe next to him, he was even more blushing now. He and Lao Guang were already talking about each other as brothers, and they almost lit three sticks of incense to sworn sworn friends.
However, Zhou Xiaoshe changed the topic and brought the topic to how to get to Banished Mountain.
When Lao Guang, who was already a little drunk, immediately changed his expression, he shook his head and said that no matter how much money I gave him, he would not dare to go to that place, but he could think of a way for me.
When I heard it, my heart suddenly moved.
I quickly said: "Old Guang, we have drunk too, so just tell us if there is any way you can help us."
I must go on this trip, not only for the guidance on the human skin map, but also for Luoluo, the water of rebirth and Zhuge Liang’s invention. Only he can have the antidote. If I don’t go, Luoluo will never go there for the rest of his life.
I have no chance to wake up again, so even if the future is long and dangerous, and I have a narrow escape from death, I must do it...
Lao Guang burped and said: "If you want to go to Banished Mountain, you need someone to guide you. There may be the person you want in this place."
"Where?" I asked quickly.
Lao Guang shook his head and drew a big circle on the table with his hand, and inside the big circle, he drew a small circle.
"This place is Uwa Village on the Kokang side..."
After Lao Guang said this, he immediately fell drunk on the table and started snoring loudly on the spot.
Zhou Xiaoshe and I looked at each other, and both of us laughed involuntarily.
