Chapter 56 Coil Snake Ridge
Longling is to the big point, it is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains. To the small point, it is actually a densely packed hill, one mound next to another, with a huge drop of ups and downs. The mounds and the mounds are broken by rain and strong winds, and there are countless deep ditches. Some places are soil shells outside, but they are broken as soon as they step on them, and there are hollows inside. Seeing the straight line between the two hills is very close, but it is very likely to take a long way to go from here to there.
This place is unknown, and there is not even a unified name for Cheng Nian. People near Gutian County call this mountain Longling, but the villagers living near Longling also call this area Panshepo.
Panshepo is far less powerful than the name Longling, but it is more intuitive and vivid to describe the terrain here.
Fatty Da Jinya and I left Gutian County at 9 o'clock in the morning. We took the bus section where we could make a car. If we drove the No. 1 place where we didn't open, we drove to Longling. When we arrived at Longling, it was already dark.
There is a small village at the foot of Longling Mountain. There are about twenty families in the village. The three of us discussed it. It is getting late now, so it is not easy to find a fish bone temple. It is difficult to walk on the mountain road. Don’t fall into the ditch in a daze. Then he died before he could get off the army. So he just stayed in the village overnight and waited until tomorrow morning.
We found a family near the entrance of the village and explained our purpose to the owner. We went out and rushed to the road. We didn’t have to go to the village or the shop behind us. Can we make it convenient? We stayed overnight and we could pay if we didn’t live in vain.
The owner of the house was an elderly couple. Seeing that the three of us were carrying large bags and two big white geese that were jumping around, they were a little confused and didn't know what our group did.
The fat man quickly said to others with a smile: Uncle, we are visiting our comrades who were in the army before. We passed by here and missed Guantou. You see, we are also out of the house. It is not easy. No one will take the house with us, right? Can you do it well? Find us a room for us and let the three of us deal with it for a night. You can take the twenty yuan. After that, regardless of whether they are willing or not, they will take out the money to stuff it to the old couple.
Seeing that we didn't think of any bad guys, the old couple happily agreed and made a room for us. It seemed that there was no one living in it for several years. The kang was cold. If the fire was on fire, it would have to pour out black smoke for a day. I told them that there was no need to burn the kang, and there would be a place to shelter us from the wind. Then they asked the old couple to get some food for us.
When the fat man saw that there were buckets and shoulder poles in the yard, he said to me: Lao Hu, come and get two large buckets of water.
I said strangely: Why do you want to get water? Isn't there water in your kettle?
The fat man said: When you, the People's Liberation Army, you have to fill the water tanks of your fellow villagers' homes, and then you have to sweep the yard and repair the roof.
I said to the fat man: You just talk a lot of nonsense. I am not familiar with this. I don’t know where the well is. I go out and turn around again. What should I do if I can’t come back? Also, I will ask them for information about the situation nearby. Don’t talk too much. If you can say less, just say less. Don’t forget to lose your words.
As they were talking, the old couple fry a few eggs for us, made two pots and brought them into the house.
I repeatedly claimed thanks, and approached the owner while eating, and asked who lived in this house before.
Unexpectedly, when asked this, the old man and the old lady burst into tears. This house was originally owned by their only son. Ten years ago, their son went to Panshepo to find a lamb lost at home, but he never came back. The villagers searched for three or four days, but they didn't even see the corpse. They probably fell into the earthen shell and fell into the mysteries in the mountains. The only son was gone, and there was no one to take care of the elderly and see them. Over the years, they have been relying on the help of the villagers in the same village to barely survive.
Fatty, and others felt sad when they heard this, so they took some more money to give them. The old couple thanked them very much and even said they had met a good person.
I asked about the situation in Longling, but the old couple said that there was no Tang Dynasty tomb on Panshepo. I heard from the older generation that there was a large tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, this tomb was very haunted. In broad daylight, people even encountered ghostly walls on the slope and got lost on the bottom slope of the ditch. If you are lucky, you can save someone. If you are unlucky, you will be trapped in it.
Local people call this area a snake, which means that the road is complicated and easy to get lost. The ridge and mysteries refer to the caves in the mountains, crisscrossing, which is simply a natural maze.
As for the former site of the Fish Bone Temple, there is indeed some, but it has been abandoned for decades. After leaving the village, there are two deep ditches on the ridges. The Fish Bone Temple is at the beginning of the ditches. When the temple was built, the merchant who paid the money said that it was at the Feng Shui level and that the Dragon King Temple would ensure good weather.
Unexpectedly, after the temple was built, there was no change. God would rain when he wanted it. If it didn’t want it, he would give you a drought for a few years. It was useless to burn incense and offer offerings, so the incense in the temple was cut off and few people went there again.
I said: We were just crossing the Yellow River and almost overturned the ship by the Dragon King, so we were curious and wanted to go to the Fish Bone Temple to see the bones of the Iron Head Dragon King fish.
The old couple said that it’s nothing if you want to go to the Fish Bone Temple, but don’t walk deep into Panshe Slope. Even those born and raised in the village are likely to get lost, let alone you three outsiders.
I nodded and thanked me. At this time, I had almost finished my food, so I helped clean up and took out the dishes and chopsticks from the middle of the house. When I walked in the yard, Da Jinziya suddenly whispered to me: Mr. Hu, there are good things in this yard.
I looked back and Dajinya pointed at a big stone in the yard: This is a monument, it has been a year.
I didn't say anything, nodded to show that I knew. After helping to clean up the dishes, the old couple went back to the room to sleep. The three of us gathered in the yard to pretend to smoke and chat, and secretly watched the stone tablet mentioned by Da Jinya.
If it weren't for the Big Gold-Eyed Thieves, we wouldn't have seen it. This rectangular stone tablet was very worn out, and several deep stone troughs were carved in the middle. It seemed that it might be used to tie animals.
There is only half of the stone tablet, and there is still half a broken animal head on the top. The characters and patterns on the stele have long been gone. Without this half of the beast head, it seems that this is a stone tablet.
The fat man asked Da Jinya: This is what you said. I think it might have been valuable in the past. Now, it is just a big stone. Look, the things on it have been worn out. How many years have it been used.
Da Jinya smoked and said: Fatty, I didn’t say that this stone tablet is valuable. This broken stele is definitely not valuable now. Only half of the beast head is left. Even the research value may not exist. It’s a pity, but don’t forget that our ancestors also fought. The reason why I said this is a good thing is not a reason. Just hitting the half beast head on this broken stele, I dare to conclude that there must be an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty in this Longling, but for the specific location, we have to look at Mr. Hu’s methods tomorrow.
I reached out and touched the head of the beast on the stone tablet, and said to Dajinya: You mean this is a tombstone
Da Jinya said: Even if it is a tombstone, although the head of the beast on this stele is broken, I can still see that this beast is called Leli. In the Tang Dynasty, the national strength is strong. They all built the tombs in the mountains, with the mountains as the tombs. There are also some corresponding facilities on the ground, erecting some stone tablets, stone camels, stone tiles, etc. As a symbol of guarding the tombs, this Leli is a kind of auspicious beast lying on the stone tablet. Legend has it that it is a spiritual beast from the west, with a good sound, like a fairy music. From this, it is inferred that this stone tablet should be about praises and other contents. Eighteen miles in front of the tomb, there is a pair of stone tablets without a single mile. Leli is the second pair of stone tablets.
I said: Master Jin, don’t think you don’t understand Feng Shui, but I am beyond my reach for your ancient history and culture. Let’s not talk about it in the yard, go back to the house to discuss it.
We returned to the house and continued to plan. We have now arrived at the edge of Longling. Judging from the clues now, it is certain that there is an ancient tomb here, but it is somewhat contradictory whether this tomb is from the Tang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty.
If you look at the tombstone, it is undoubtedly a large tomb of the Tang Dynasty, and it is in line with what Lao Liutou said in the guesthouse in Gutian County. However, how do local villagers say that this mountain is an ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty?
Dajinya asked me: Do you see if there is such a possibility? There are many places in a Feng Shui treasure vein that can be set up
I said: That's true, but a whole earth vein cannot be a good place. There are also high and low positions in various places. The best position is often enough to build a tomb. However, it is not ruled out that the ancient tombs of both dynasties are likely to be favored by one position.
I asked Fatty and Dajinya to keep their energy tonight. Tomorrow morning, no matter whether it is Longling or Panshepo, let's take a look at it. In addition, there may be many antiques in this village that have not been seen. When I come back, I will go to the local fellow villagers' homes to see it.
