Vol 6 Chapter 22: Mystery

The appearance of the old gluttony surprised me, so I forgot to talk to him. But the old gluttons didn't care, he replied with a smile and said, "Always, always."
It turned out that since we entered the Huangtuling Mountains, the old gluttons already knew it, but we had been busy climbing the mountain during the previous period. The old gluttons felt that the four of us had no effort to deal with him, so they did not appear. When we climbed to the top of the mountain, the old gluttons appeared, but the old gluttons didn't mean to disturb us, so they kept standing behind and made no noise.
I also want to come. As a local mountain in the Huangtuling Mountains, Lao glutton will not be unaware of us when we come here. It's just that this haunting really scares people.
The old glutton took us to a very unobtrusive mountainside, and then turned to us and said: "Four, please." Said, only to see the mountain behind him "click" and opened a fan door! My heart says that the mountain still has this operation? So he cheerfully followed the old gluttons into the cave. If you look at this cave from the outside, it is a weedy wall. Is there any special place? But no one can think of it, there is such a mountain gate here, and there are no other caves in it. Inside the cave is a frequent corridor, although it is spacious, but there is no light like torches, and it looks a little dark and gloomy. If it is not to follow the old gluttons, I will not come here to say anything. The four of us turned on the flashlight function of the mobile phone, and then we walked along with the old gluttons.
To tell the truth, the corridor in this cave is a little too long. I doubt whether this mountain is so long. It feels like we have been away for more than an hour, and the old gluttons did n’t say a word in front of me. I was really impatient, so I stepped up and stepped forward to ask: "How far is it?" : "I'll be here soon." I frowned, and said, what hole is there, bottomless? I don't worry that this old glutton will hurt me. After all, in my current way, this old glutton is not necessarily an opponent. Even if he had any conspiracy, neither of the three behind me was a foodie.
Walked for about ten more minutes, before this suddenly became brighter, and saw the light of the lights. When I fixed my eyes, I was dumbfounded! At the end of this cave is not a stone room in my mind, but a very huge space. There are many houses and brightly lit houses inside, just like a village! What is even more incredible is that there are still many pedestrians walking around here, a very daily look!
Of course, these moving people are not humans under the eyes of the spirit. They are all like fairies and demon. The four of us stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of us. After a while, we remembered and asked the old man: "What the is going on!"
It turns out that this place is not the world in our real sense, but a place between the human world and the spiritual world. In fact, we often see similar things happening in film and television dramas and online stories. For example, during the process of medicine picking by a farmer, he found a cave that he had never seen on the mountain road he often walks. If the mingming is troublesome, the people inside are very hospitable. But when I went to that place later, I found that the cave disappeared and never appeared again. There are all kinds of stories like this. Today, the four of us are seeing the truth once.
According to Lao Tzu, this place is a mysterious area located in Huangtuling. The so-called secret realm is, of course, designed to communicate with those monsters and wild immortals. Monsters and immortals also need to live like humans between the ghosts who have been dissociated from the earth for many years. Since the Huangtuling is controlled by the old people, basically monsters and The wild ghosts have no conflicts, they will establish a certain relationship with each other. This is why the last time the Sixth Lord let the weasel come to the old gluttons to arrange a shelter.
Although the mountain is not big, monsters and ghosts are different from humans. There will always be some rare herbs and other objects found, or some monsters find various treasures and the like. In this case, this secret area will also become the place of transaction.
It reminds me of a story I heard from the mouth of the old man in the alley of Hutong. Today, there is a mountain called Bieshan in the northwest of Wuzhong County, which is connecting with Wujun County. At this junction, which is the westernmost part of Wuzhong County, there is a hill called Ladder Mountain. In fact, this ladder mountain really resembles a straight step. There is a small village called Baishan Village under the ladder.
The legend of people in Baishan Village is that the grasshoppers on this ladder mountain are all covered with golden eyes. At night, you can see the lights on the mountain, but when you approach the lights, they disappear. People in Baishan Village have a smooth saying: "There are treasures on the ladder mountain, nine cylinders and eighteen pots! Not on the front but on the back slope."
I do n’t know what year and what month, a Nanbanzi came from Baishan Village, which is what we now call the Southerner. Because Baishan Village is located in a remote and out of northern China, I do n’t know anything about the Southerner, let alone the southerner. Where is the man? This southern gentleman came to a villager's house and was surprised when he saw the long-grass growing on the vegetable rack in the villager's house, and then he begged to buy the growing-grass from the villager's house.
Speaking of this hog, everyone may not be familiar with it, but to say the ladle, everyone should know what it is. This so-called hog is the thing before the scoop is not cut, and is a brother with the gourd.
The villager who planted the hu Zizi was puzzled at first, and secondly thought that this hu Zizi was not valuable. You know, he planted this hog for two scoops in the future. However, Mr. Nanfang didn't think so. He even boasted Haikou and said, "As long as you give me this hog, as much as you want, I will give you as much money!" The villager was happy and said, "You When you are the God of Wealth, I bought you a hog at most, that is, two pieces of copper, and I will ask you for gold for two thousand dollars! "I did not expect that the gentleman from the south even smiled and said:" I I do n’t want you to do it now. You have to wait until after autumn, when it is done, I will come to get it! "Then, he took out a silver coin from his arms and stuffed it in the hands of the villagers. I am optimistic about his hog, this is the fixed money, he will definitely come to take it after the autumn.
In the beginning, the villagers of this kind of huzi didn't take it seriously, only when the Nanmanzi was a lunatic, said a crazy word, and he was in vain for the benefit of a piece of silver. But after a long time, the villagers began to think more and more wrong. That Nan Manzi does not look like a madman. Besides, if he is a madman, why would he have so much money to buy such a useless scoop! The villager consulted with his wife several times, and in the end, both the couple felt that there was really something wrong with the naozi in their own courtyard.
So when autumn is approaching, when the huzi is about to grow up, he secretly picked the huzi and hid it.
After the autumn, the southern gentleman really came and wanted to buy the bottle he had set. But when he arrived, he found that Huzi was gone, and he was anxious at the time: "Oh, how come my hoop is gone !?" The villager in the beard pretended to be annoyed and said: "Don't mention it! You blame this thing too!" When you left last time, I was given a silver coin to make a deposit, and said that I would buy this hog. Later, when someone heard about this, they all knew that the hog was valuable, and people would steal it before the autumn. went!"
Mr. Nan also patted his thigh annoyedly, "Oops," he said, "It's useless until the hog is grown up! Alas! I shouldn't have this fate! Just because the hog was not picked up, it was picked by someone. Going, it's considered unusable, just! "
The villagers looked at Mr. Nanfang and knew that there must be a big sway among the pots, so he asked the Mr. Nanfang: "This sir, I think you are also a wealthy person, how come I see this in my courtyard Broken huzi? Is it true that this huzi is really worth the gold? "
Mr. Nanfang said with a bitter smile: "Ah, since the hog hasn't grown up and has been lost, then I'll tell you. It's hog. This hog is hog, but it's also the key to open your ladder mountain!"
