Going south in the Pine Ridge Mountains, you enter low hilly terrain. This is the buffer zone between the Ming Empire and the surrounding small countries. There are many earth castles and villages, and there are also many wild ghosts and monsters. Because the three don't care, it's very confusing here. Some capable people here either go south to the Ming Empire, or go north to the Songling Mountains, and those who stay here are either vicious or domineering.
"Master, it's getting late, and there is a dilapidated village ahead, why don't we rest early." Yiwu Jiuqi said, pointing to the road ahead.
This path has been deserted, and the half-person-high weeds cover most of the road. Most of the roads are the footprints of beasts, not human footprints. A badly weathered stone tablet was lying on the side of the road, and the three characters of "Guteng Village" could be vaguely seen.
Zhang Ying nodded and walked towards the deserted village on the red tide. He had been away from the Pine Ridge Mountains for a month, and he had eaten and slept in the open without seeing any human beings along the way. Today he finally saw it, but it was still a dilapidated village.
Going along the road, it didn't take long to see a barren field full of weeds. Looking at it like this, it should have been abandoned for more than ten years. Moving on, a village with wooden walls appeared in front of his eyes. The villages in the mountains have walls, the worst is the earth wall, the slightly better is the wooden wall, and the best is the stone wall.
The walls of the village in front of me are made of wood. Obviously, the village is not bad. The wall is surrounded by giant trees as thick as a person. Now some of the trees are dead and covered with black fungus, while some of the trees have re-rooted and grown, with branches and leaves growing on the branches, looking thriving.
The dilapidated wooden door fell to the ground long ago, and the red tide walked directly into the village through the wooden door.
The houses with civil and wooden structures are neatly arranged in the village, and most of the houses have collapsed now. Only the ancestral hall in the center of the village is built of stone, and it is still standing there tenaciously. Either way, the ancestral home is the best
One Wu Jiu Qi and one ghost walked into the ancestral hall first, and he was going to clean up. And Zhang Ying rode the red tide in the deserted village.
There was nothing in the collapsed house. Obviously, the village was abandoned by humans, otherwise it would not have been emptied so quickly. The wells in the village were sealed with boulders, which was also man-made. The village is not too big, only about a hundred households. It didn't take long for Zhang Ying to walk around.
There are no traces of fighting and damage, and they all collapsed naturally. There are traces of scorching in several houses, which were also spontaneous combustion caused by lightning hitting wooden beams. Other than that, there is nothing unusual about this village.
After turning around and finding nothing, Zhang Ying returned to the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall has been cleaned by Yiwu Jiuqi, except for some corners that have not been taken care of, the lobby is the cleanest.
The shelf on which the tablets were placed had decayed, so all the tablets were naturally taken away. A bonfire was lit by Yiwu Jiuqi on the rotten wood, and several cylindrical stones were moved by him as stools.
Chi Chao chose a leeward place to lie down, and he licked his front paws boredly. After walking for a day, his front paws were all dirty.
Zhang Ying and the others don't need to eat dry food, and the fire is only for lighting. Zhang Ying refused to travel at night unless he was in a hurry.
Not long after, Yiwu Jiuqi also returned to his side, and he began to skillfully boil water and make tea. The tea leaves are wild tea picked from the mountains, which has a special flavor. You don't need to eat, but you can drink some tea.
Sipping tea slowly until late at night, Zhang Ying put down the teacup somewhat disappointed. He stayed in a deserted village for the night and didn't have any exciting activities, so he was a little disappointed. Ever since, he entered the state of practice, replacing sleep with practice.
After a while, he opened his eyes. Because he found that something was wrong here!
Here the gold energy is strong, but the earth energy and wood energy are scarce! This is very strange, because generally speaking, these 'Qi' should be balanced. Could it be that there are mineral veins here? Only with the existence of ore veins can there be more gold energy and less earth energy and wood energy.
He thought for a while and then shook his head. If there is always so much gold energy, then this place will definitely not be chosen as the address of the village, and it is almost the same as the address of the mine. The abandoned land outside the village has only been around for ten years, and the abundance of gold seems to be what happened in the past ten years!
Because of the strong gold gas, the content of earth gas and wood gas is squeezed, and the harvest here is naturally poor every year. It is very likely that because of this situation, the villagers here gave up here.
So the question is, what caused the sudden exuberance of gold energy?
Zhang Ying thought excitedly, he felt there was a secret here! So he woke up the sleeping Chi Chao: "Don't sleep! Get up for me! You say you are a tiger, why do you like sleeping at night so much?"
Chi Chao was shaken awake with a dazed face, what happened to sleeping at night? Still not allowing the tiger to sleep at night?
?Wu Jiuqi was also alarmed, he stopped practicing, and stood beside Zhang Ying, waiting for orders.
"There should be some secrets here. There is a lot of gold here. Let's see if there are any treasures here!" Zhang Ying said excitedly.
Yiwu Jiuqi nodded, and floated out first.
"Get up too, and see where the source of the golden energy is?" Zhang Ying continued to say to Chi Chao. Chi Chao let out a low growl of dissatisfaction, and reluctantly walked out of the ancestral hall.
At night, Chi Chao's vision is much better than Zhang Ying's. He turned around with his green eyes open, concentrating on sensing the traces of the golden energy.
It didn't take long for Chi Chao to discover something, and took Zhang Ying to run wildly, leaving the village and going outside.
A few miles away from the village, there is a small river meandering by. Originally, there was a canal in the village to divert water from this river, but it has not been dredged for many years, and the canal has long been blocked.
The winding river flows quietly, and the moonlight falls on the river surface, reflecting bursts of light.
The red tide rushed into the river first, and Tiger Claw rummaged through the mud in Hanoi. After a while, he found a silver-white stone.
"This is?" Zhang Ying took the stone, and found that under the moonlight, there was gold gas coming out of the stone.
"What is this?" Zhang Ying was a little confused. There are many geniuses and treasures in the world, and it is not surprising that he does not know them. Not long after, Yiwu Jiuqi also floated over, and then Zhang Ying said: "You also go down the river and look for it, to see if there is such a thing."
Ever since, one person, one ghost and one tiger started to rummage in the small river. The clear river water was suddenly disturbed, and the small fish and shrimps in the river were disturbed one after another.
After a night of searching, more than a dozen silver and white stones of different sizes were placed in front of Zhang Ying. The stone is as small as a fist, and as big as a human head, and it seems that it can be assembled into a whole big stone.
The amazing thing is that this stone does not emit golden gas during the day, only under the moonlight at night, this stone seems to breathe out gold gas continuously.
What kind of baby should this be, and now it is destined for me! Thinking this way, Zhang Ying put away all these stones. As long as it is taken out to bask in the moon at night, the stone will exhale gold gas. Although the amount is not enough for the red tide to practice overnight, it will still change the gold gas content of the place over the years.
It is true that those who come out to travel are out to fight for opportunities. On the one hand, the disciples who travel are gaining knowledge, and on the other hand, they are looking for opportunities. As the saying goes, people can't get rich without windfall, and horses can't get fat without night grass. If you practice step by step in the meditation, you may not be able to touch the edge of the ninth level of Qi training until you die, but if you find opportunities outside, you may break through again and again within a few years.
No, Zhang Ying only found these stones after he had been away for a month. Although he didn't know what they were, they were treasures at first sight.
After wandering around the mountains for a few days, Zhang Ying made sure that nothing was missing, so Zhang Ying continued to head south.
After discovering the first deserted village, Zhang Ying actually entered the densely populated area of ??this area. After walking for a few days, he saw the main road with reclaimed fertile fields beside the road. In the fields there are peasants who till the fields.
However, when these civilian husbands saw Zhang Ying passing by on a big tiger, they would shout: "There are monsters!"
So Zhang Ying followed them to a village. The village is very large, surrounded by stone walls. At this time, the wooden gate has been closed, and some people who have not yet run into the village are being pulled up to the top of the city in hanging baskets.
Seeing Zhang Ying riding a tiger, these people shouted louder, and the hanging basket was pulled faster!
Zhang Ying didn't want to disturb them either, she just watched them quietly from a few hundred meters away. After they hung all the people under the wall to the top of the wall, he stepped forward and shouted: "I am a monk from Hujuguan in Songling Mountain. I pass by here and want to stay overnight. I wonder if it will be convenient for me?"
Not long after, a trembling voice came from the top of the city: "The Taoist priest has invited you! It's just that the small place has few people, so I'm afraid I can't greet the Taoist priest, so I invite the Taoist priest to leave!"
Zhang Ying cupped her hands helplessly, and said, "In that case, I'm leaving!" After speaking, she patted Chi Chao's buttocks and left.
When Zhang Ying left, the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief.
One of them said: "I seem to have heard of this Huju Temple. Didn't there be a Taoist priest who also attended Huju Temple more than ten years ago?"
Another person said: "It's been more than ten years, who still remembers! And didn't you see the tiger? I'm going crazy, you can't eat enough for it!"
The man thought for a while, but finally he didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart: "Although I was young at that time, I still knew that Taoist was good, and he even gave me candies!"
Zhang Ying walked a few miles, patted Chi Chao's tiger head and said, "It's you, who looks so vicious that no one dares to let us in!" Chi Chao let out a low growl helplessly, and continued on his way.
Yiwu Jiuqi got out of a small tube and said: "It's no wonder the red tide, people in small places make such a fuss. It would be much better if we went to a big place."
Yiwu Jiuqi's words are also reasonable. In this world, Taoism is holy, and people in larger places are well-informed, and they will not be afraid just because they are riding a tiger. It's Yiwu Jiuqi who wants to hide, because others are not afraid of tigers, it doesn't mean they are not afraid of ghosts!
Ghosts are a term that harms people in the outside world, and other people are foolishly unable to distinguish the difference between ghosts and ordinary ghosts. It is not good for Yiwu Jiuqi to scare others. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)It was so vicious that no one dared to let us in!
