Qinggeltai scratched his head and asked, "What is an ancient tomb?"
Yu Huifei said: "It's an old tomb."
Qing Ge Tai said: "Does my great-grandmother's age count?"
"Are there any older ones?" Qinggeltai shook his head and said, "No matter how old the graves are, their graves have been flattened by the heavy rain and cannot be found. What are you looking for?"
Yu Huifei finally understood. This kid was a bit stupid. If he explained it in a serious way, he would probably have no less problems than Niu Tou MaMian and the others.
So Yu Huifei changed the subject and was about to say something.
I saw the owner of the canteen, a gray-haired old man, and laughed: "Ancient tomb? Stop making trouble... Modern people have a hard time getting into this shabby place. What were the ancients doing here? Catching crickets and raising grasshoppers here.
?”
Yu Huifei thinks about the same truth...
But Yu Huifei couldn't figure it out. At first glance, these people looked like a professional tomb robbing gang, or at worst a professional tourist group. What were they doing here?
And Shen Gongbao, why is that old boy here in the mountains and forests if he doesn't just squat in the city and enjoy life?
Yu Huifei was sure that it was definitely not a simple thing that could make people like Shen Gongbao take notice of it.
The old shop owner laughed and said: "Who knows, maybe we will find another dragon."
Yu Huifei was stunned: "Dragon?"
The old man took a puff of dry smoke and said, "Yes, dragon."
Yu Huifei said: "Uncle, please stop joking..."
He really didn't believe it. After all, Cui Jue said that this mortal world is the mortal world, and there are no ghosts. Because the spiritual energy here is thin, there is no way to raise spirits. If you can't raise spirits, how can you still have dragons? Isn't this nonsense?
!
The old man looked at Yu Huifei like he was an idiot and said, "From the accent of your kid, he came from Xiulin, right?"
Yu Huifei said: "Uncle, can you hear this?"
The old man said: "You must not be an authentic Xiulin person. You are here to do business, right?"
Yu Huifei couldn't help but admire that although this old man was old, his ears and brain were very good. Anyway, they were better than the honest and honest Qing Geertai beside him. Because this boy was scratching his head.
, with a confused look on his face, and when he saw Yu Huifei looking at him, he grinned foolishly.
Seeing Yu Huifei's expression, the old man said: "If you are really a native of Xiulin, there is no way you don't know that dragons have appeared here!"
Yu Huifei said in surprise: "Is there really a dragon?"
The old man nodded and said with a sad look on his face: "That happened when I was a child... It rained continuously for more than 40 days. The floods destroyed the river embankments, the river changed its course, and Baiyue Mountain landslided.
Many families have suffered.
After the heavy rain, someone discovered a dying real dragon on the river embankment."
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely listen to this as a story.
But Yu Huifei didn't. After all, there were still a group of ghosts and queens living in their house.
He has also seen the Jade Emperor, so if a dragon really fell down from what happened decades ago, it wouldn't be too strange.
Yu Huifei is waiting for the next step.
Qinggeltai said curiously: "How did you know it was a dragon?"
Yu Huifei rolled his eyes at him. As a descendant of China, Long didn't even know him?
The old man chuckled: "Many people didn't think it was a dragon at that time, and I didn't think it was either."
Yu Huifei was confused. He didn’t recognize him?
Don’t you even know the dragon?
Dragons should be easy to distinguish, right?
The old man said: "When the dragon was discovered, it had already begun to rot, its whole body was covered with mud, its wounds were ulcerated, and it was dying.
Moreover, even if it is a dragon, he is a bit small...only about ten meters long."
Yu Huifei said: "Then how do you say it is a dragon?"
The old man smiled and said: "Of course I don't know him, but my mother does!"
"Your mother?" After Yu Huifei finished speaking, he quickly said: "Literally."
The old man didn't pay attention, nodded and said: "My mother is a master dancer, and she talks all day long. She said she can talk to ghosts and gods.
You think she is capable? Our family is still so poor...
You said she was incapable, but some people's illnesses were indeed cured by her hands.
At that time, she was a very famous witch in Shiliba Village. A dragon appeared on the river embankment, so she naturally wanted to see it.
I still remember that no one dared to get close to the dragon at that time. Only she stepped forward and touched the dragon from head to toe. After touching it, she concluded that it was a dragon!
A dragon whose mouth has been silenced and demoted to the mortal world."
Yu Huifei was shocked and said: "A dragon who was demoted to the mortal world?"
"That's what my mother said. She said that the dragon must have committed something in the sky and caused a disaster, so it was seriously injured and dying.
At the same time, in order to prevent him from talking nonsense and leaking secrets, Heaven sealed his mouth.
This is also the reason why the roar of the dragon was not as loud as that of a little puppy..." The old man said this, took another puff of cigarette, blew out a puff of mist and said, "Hey... you probably don't believe this either."
Yu Huifei said: "No, keep talking. I believe this..."
The old man said: "Since you believe it, then I will tell you more?"
Yu Huifei listened attentively.
The old man had nothing to do, so he sat there and explained the situation to Yu Huifei in detail.
In order to save the dragon, the whole village mobilized, poured water on him with buckets, and built a pergola for him with rattan and wooden boards to block the sun.
But the dragon seemed to have run out of energy and died two days later.
Once a dragon dies, its body decomposes very quickly.
When it rots, there is a grassy smell that is very unpleasant.
No one dared to come forward and went home one after another.
As a result, a day later, the smell of the dragon's decay spread to the village across two or three miles, infusing the villagers all night.
The next day, everyone couldn't stand it anymore, so they went there to check the situation.
It turned out that the dragon was gone!
"The dragon is gone?" Yu Huifei asked in surprise.
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, everyone was shocked at that time. The village chief was worried, so he asked everyone to look around... and found the dragon's bones in the nearby reed swamp. Those were real bones.
There’s no trace of blood left at all…”
Yu Huifei asked in surprise: "It rotted away in just one day, leaving only the bones?"
Qinggeltai's focus was obviously not on this, and he asked curiously: "Grandpa, didn't you get a dragon bone to make wine? That must be better than your tiger bone!"
Yu Huifei glanced at the old man in surprise. This old man actually had tiger bones? It seemed that he was not a fuel-efficient person when he was young.
The old man chuckled and said: "I did want to get it at that time... and many people went to look for the dragon bones. But my mother said that there is a point in collecting dragon bones. If the method is not right, the bones will soon fall apart.
In fact, those who took the keel bones back, within half a day, the bones turned into ashes."
Hearing this, Yu Huifei was also amazed, and at the same time he became more and more certain that the old man's mother was definitely not an ordinary person!
Maybe this old man is not an ordinary person...
Qinggeltai felt it was a pity.
In fact, Yu Huifei also felt that it was a pity. If this was a dragon bone, not to mention whether it was the one on the dragon whip, any piece could be used to make wine. It is estimated that when a person reaches a hundred years, he will have such a sip, and he may still be able to put it on.
One shot.
Speaking of this, the old man might be afraid that Yu Huifei wouldn't believe it, so he added: "You are just too young. If you were of your grandfather's generation, you must have heard of this at that time.
At that time, this incident was a big deal and even appeared on CCTV news.
But then, for some reason, various experts and scholars suddenly appeared and kept making nonsense remarks. They even said that the dragon was the bone of a whale... Grandma, where did the whale come from in this deep mountain and old forest?
?
Can whales fly?"
Yu Huifei was even more surprised. He didn't expect that this matter would even be featured on CCTV news.
As long as this kind of thing comes out of the air and Yu Huifei goes to inquire about it, it will be verified sooner or later. Therefore, he feels that there is no need for the old man to lie. This matter is 80% true!
Thinking of this, Yu Huifei wondered, could it be that another dragon really appeared?
Yu Huifei glanced out the window again, and those dozens of people had disappeared.
I guess I went into the mountains...
Yu Huifei stood up and said: "Thank you, old man, for answering my questions. Maybe there is a dragon inside. I'll go take a look too..."
Qing Ge Tai said: "I will go too!"
The old man slapped him directly: "What are you going to do?"
Qinggeltai said: "Baoyin went in with me before and hasn't come out until today. I'm not worried. I want to go in and have a look..."
The old man frowned: "That Baling Village Xiehu, you are too reckless, so you'd better not go there."
Yu Huifei asked curiously: "Is Baling Village evil?"
The old man looked at Yu Huifei and said, "I suggest you don't go to Baling Village either."
Yu Huifei smiled bitterly and said: "If I can't go, I don't want to go. The key is that my friend has been there for several days and there is still no movement. Just today, I received a photo from someone
, my friend was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and he was in a hurry to rescue him. I just found him..."
Yu Huifei took out his cell phone and showed the text messages and photos to the old man.
After the old man finished reading, he believed Yu Huifei's words. He patted Yu Huifei on the shoulder and said, "You can be considered a responsible and loyal person. However, I advise you not to go, lest you
Get yourself involved too."
Yu Huifei said: "Old man, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I have to go. If you know anything, can you tell me?"
Qing Ge Tai said: "Grandpa, just say it."
The old man took a puff of smoke and said: "Do you know why, all villages across the country have roads, but there is no road in Baling Village?"
Yu Huifei shook his head. In fact, he was also wondering. The previous village-to-village project could be said to be very huge. It was implemented across the country and every household was connected by cement roads. However, there is actually a village here that has no roads. This is unscientific.
!
The old man said: "Baling Village is located in the middle of the eight mountains, so it is called Baling. The people there have very bad tempers. Needless to say, if they disagree with each other, if they look wrong, people on both sides will immediately start fighting. In the past, people would be beaten every year.
Beaten to death, someone was arrested.
When they were building the road, they didn't know which part of the construction was wrong. The whole village rushed out and beat up the exploration team members.
After the people from the engineering team arrived, they became even more violent.
Beating people, smashing equipment, overturning cars, setting fires, they have done it all.
A life was lost at that time...
Anyway, things are going crazy.
Later, no engineering team dared to take over their work, and the government had no choice but to finally give up.
Since then, people in the village have basically stopped coming out.
It’s been three or four years, and I haven’t heard of any deaths.”
When Yu Huifei heard this, he was also in a daze. He knew that Northeastern people had a hot temper, but that hot temper was the kind of fight one moment, and the next moment the two of them went to a food stall to drink.
That kind of fighting is not a desperate effort, but a unique way of communication.
If you don't know clearly, just give him a couple of beatings. After the beating, drink some wine. If you can't fight again, go to the hospital and rush to pay the bill.
But according to what the old man said, the people in Baling Village simply beat people for the sake of beating them, and once they started fighting, they had no scruples at all.
Thinking of this, Yu Huifei couldn't figure it out even more. Why would Tan Yuan, Captain Song and the others go to a place like that if they had nothing to do?
"Boy, are you still going?" the old man asked.
Yu Huifei said: "Go, you must go."
The old man looked at Yu Huifei, and Yu Huifei looked at the old man. The two looked at each other for a long time.
The old man nodded slightly and said, "It seems you are really not afraid of death."
Yu Huifei cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some guidance."
The old man nodded, then kicked Qing Ge Tai and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go change your clothes!"
Qinggeltai scratched his head and said, "What?"
"What, what, what? Change into the clothes that went up to the mountain and take him to Baling Village. But you remember it. When you see the village from a distance, you come back. You are not allowed to step into the Baling Village.
Step! You are not allowed to go to the Moon Worshiping Mountain, you know?" the old man said.
When Qinggertai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. It was obvious that this kid really wanted to go, and then he ran home to change clothes.
When Yu Huifei heard the words Baiyue Mountain, he immediately asked: "Old man, do you know Baiyue Mountain?"
The old man nodded: "I know, because the place where the dragon appeared was at the foot of Baiyue Mountain."
Yu Huifei felt more and more that there might really be a real dragon over there again.
After chatting for a while, the old man had nothing more to say. He just told him to do what he could and not to mess around. He also promised that Yu Huifei would not come back for two days, so he would help call the police.
Yu Huifei was very grateful to the old man for his warm-heartedness.
As for why he didn't call the police, the reason is actually very simple.
If we really call the police, can the police take care of it?
If you can manage it, what do you want the protagonist to do?
If you can't control it, doesn't it mean that the police are not effective enough and are not as good as the protagonist? Then wouldn't the book be harmonious?
So, no police were called.
Not long after waiting, Qingertai came back. The boy changed into coarse cloth clothes, with a woodcutter on his waist and a gourd on his shoulder.
Yu Huifei smiled and said, "What is this?"
Qinggeltai hid the gourd very preciously and said hehe, "You will know when the time comes."
