A group of people, who had seen Laojun Pavilion and worshiped Tianshi Cave, except for the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, were left to Cha Wenbin to explain some basic Taoist history to several people along the way, which seemed light. When they were waiting to go down the mountain, it was already evening, and several people came to a small town at the foot of the mountain to prepare for stays. The hotel owner who came to pick up the guests was holding a guest and pulled the corner of his clothes. The scared girl thought she had entered the bandit's nest and almost started arguing with a few aunts. She was hesitating where to complain, and came over to answer with an old man in the countryside, "A few guests, are they here to travel to Qingcheng Mountain?"

The little girl thought it was another person who came to solicit customers, so she pouted and refused to answer. However, Lao Wang was really tired, so she asked casually: "Yes, don't you go down the mountain to find a place to live? You are here to solicit customers too."

After hearing this, the old man was very polite. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and spread them one by one. No one took it off. He took off the straw hat on his head and used it as a fan: "I have a farm hotel in my house, which is half cheaper than these hotels. In addition to being remote, it is also cleaner. If you stay there, I can give you some more cheaper."

This town is called Zipingpu. It is said that Mr. Zhuge "sold 1,200 people" and was the main guard of Dujiangyan and stationed troops in Ma Chaoping. This is the place. Because of the relationship between Qingcheng Mountain, this famous military town in history is now a well-known tourist town.

Cha Wenbin was not a person who loved the excitement. When he heard that there was a quiet place and he wanted to leave the crowded place early, so he chose a remote location to stay. He agreed to go and take a look first. The old man led the way and the group passed by.

This inn is also a two-story building. The owners are all farmers. With the tourism style, they have been converted into a small hotel. Although it is not luxurious, it is clean enough. Perhaps because the location is too far off, Cha Wenbin and his group of four people came out, but no other tourists stayed here, which made them quiet.

The host is also very hospitable. I think there are not many guests on weekdays. Seeing these four people, they are naturally very enthusiastic and insisted on having dinner together. In the Bashu area, guests have always been like guests. They ate some mushrooms and wild game around the big round table. They ate some hot soup. Even Leng Yiran, who has never touched peppers, was very excited, let alone Lao Wang and Cha Wenbin. As for He Yichao, who had already finished three glasses of white wine with the host, he got up and called him brothers. It turned out that this family had a son who was also a soldier. After asking, he found out that he was in the same army as He Yichao before. When he met his comrades, he naturally had a passionate fight. The brothers were so happy that they drank that they were blushing and chatted very happily.

When I drink too much wine, I will naturally talk more. The old farmer's name is Zhuo Yugui, and his retired son is Zhuo Xiong. Because he looks powerful, people say that he is a blind man from the bear. Later, he shouts, and then he becomes blind. But he is not really blind. He has been a soldier and has a good look!

Originally, when his son returned from the army, his superiors arranged a meal for the town. This boy was so worried that he could not stand the bureaucratic style and had conflicts with his leaders several times. He simply quit his job and helped his family manage the small farmhouse. Although he was poor, he lived a very comfortable life. This introduction made Chaozi very admire him. He drank a few more drinks in a row, but he was not satisfied. He insisted on changing the big bowl, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin.

This old man is also a chattering thing, can you tell me. Archaeology has been rooted in the countryside for many years, so I can't help but inquire about some legends and strange things around here. I have revealed my identity. When Old Man Zhuo heard that he was an archaeological expert, he couldn't help but have a few more respects. The old man touched his hair that was about to be bald and said, "I'm not satisfied with you. In our Qingcheng Mountain, if there are no legends, it's naturally impossible. This Taoist immortal mountain has had some stories of immortals since we were young, and we have also read and looked at it since we were young. During the Cultural Revolution, some ancient monuments were destroyed. If you want to find it, you may really be gone. However, there is a place that is just..."

Cha Wenbin was interested and asked, "Just how? The old man might as well tell me."

I don’t want to stop that old man Zhuo: “Forget it, you shouldn’t go to that place.”

"Oh? Come and listen?"

Old Man Zhuo nodded: "Well, I am not from Zipingpu. I have lived in a small mountain village more than 30 kilometers away from here for generations. Although it is a little closed, the mountains and rivers are very beautiful. Thirty years ago, the child had not yet been born. The old man got a daughter named Zhuo Lian. When the blind man was born, his sister was taken to the mountain by her mother and her mother to collect herbs. Our man had to collect herbs for generations to make a living, but there was only one place that never went. The person who came back said that the two of them were led to that place by the little devil, and never came back again..." After that, Old Man Zhuo was already in tears, probably remembering the sad past.

Lao Wang handed him a cigarette and signaled him to slow down. Old Man Zhuo took it and lit it, and continued to speak: "There is a mountain ten miles away from our village. It looks dark in the distance, but it is filled with fog all year round. It is said that there are some fairy grass Ganoderma lucidum, but each family has a legacy, that is, they cannot go half a step into the mountain! Before liberation, life was really impossible, and there were also a few brave herb collectors who wanted to go into the mountain to find some valuable herbs to eat rice. They didn't want to go in the three old hunters, and they also

They were all carrying gunpowder guns on their backs. They had not seen anyone come out for seven days. The people outside were so anxious that they had no choice. The village discussed looking for three more hunters. They didn't expect that after seven days, only one person who came in was covered in scars. They just kept saying that there was a ghost inside. In less than three days, they died..." "The ghost inside?" Leng Yiran, who was next to him, heard the words of relish, which made Lao Wang on the opposite side glar at her fiercely, causing the little girl to touch her tongue, holding her cheek and stop talking.

"Yes, the man who came out was still repeating this sentence before he died. Later, no one dared to enter the mountain again. I don't think how my child's mother went there. It must be that there was a mountain ghost in the mountain leading the way. I was poor, and I was left with Zhuo Xiong, who was less than one year old, to rely on each other."

When Cha Wenbin heard this, he interjected and asked, "Old man, how are you sure they have entered that mountain?"

The old man wiped his tears and replied with his neck stiffened, "That day, someone saw them in the mountain pass path. He shouted a few times, but no one agreed. After looking closely, he had disappeared in the fog. He quickly went down the mountain to inform me. I immediately called someone to look for it, but the fog was scattered and the miasma was growing. No one dared to go forward. I could only wait at the mountain pass for more than a month, but there was no one. I was afraid I was in trouble. After going down the mountain, I brought the blind man to this Zipingpu. I had some carpenter work and settled my home here. Later I heard that the people on the mountain had moved out one after another, but as for where I went, I don't know. The village was probably abandoned over the years."

"Oh? It's abandoned? Is there no one living there?" Lao Wang asked

"It's gone, the land is barren there and the transportation is not convenient. I pick some herbs to change the food, and I have to go all day long with good foot strength. As more and more young people come out to work, there will be no one there."

Cha Wenbin nodded: "Does that old man know what the mountain is called?"

Old Man Zhuo tskated: "Why can't you know? It is said that there are immortal grass Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain, but there are Qi snakes guarding it, so that mountain is also called Qifeng Mountain."

The little witch over there immediately giggled and said, "Qi Snake? Old man, you are joking again, hehe, I know Qi Snake. Qi Snake is also called the Five Step Snake. Its main origin is in Zhejiang and Guangdong and Guangxi. Where did Qi Snake come from in Sichuan?"

Old Man Zhuo was reluctant and defended with a blank face: "What do you know, a little girl?"

Leng Yiran pouted and disagreed. She looked at the show, but Cha Wenbin said: "The Qi snake was first seen in "Lei Gong Cannon", and is also called the white flower snake. "Kaibao Bencao" says: "It grows in the southern part of the land and the mountains of Shu County." "Bencao Tujing" says: "It is now available in Guizhou and Qizhou, Dengzhou." "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Flowers, snakes, lakes, and Shu are all famous now, but Qi snakes are not famous. However, there are not many Qi lands, and the goods and lawsuits are taken from the mountains of Xingguozhou, Jiangnan.
