Chapter Fourteen Finally Arrived at Laoxiong Ridge
Luo Laowai's troops and the people from Xieling's faction met outside the city, and Chu Yun and the others set out towards the Pingshan Ancient Tomb.
"I have inquired, and there is indeed a Pingshan in this Miao village in western Hunan. It was where emperors of all dynasties made elixirs and medicines. Because it is shaped like a bottle that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, it is named Pingshan.
This bottle mountain is located deep in Laoxiong Ridge beside Menghe Cave in Nuqing County, western Hunan.
We pass the Mengdong River along the way, and then pass the Lao Xiong Ridge to reach the Pingshan Mountain."
Along the way, Chu Yun, Chen Yulou and others from the Banshan Xiling faction were walking in front, while many Xiling warriors and Luo Laowai's men were behind.
After crossing the Mengdong River, Huamaguai introduced the details of Pingshan while secretly observing the expression of Mr. Chu, who was hard to tell.
Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, as if he already knew everything about it, Huamaguai secretly nodded to Chen Yulou and others.
That's right, this Mr. Chu is indeed familiar with the location of Pingshan. It seems that the gold-touching group has indeed been here a long time ago.
Seeing Huamagui nodding, Chen Yulou and others understood what he meant, and the last doubts in their hearts disappeared immediately.
Chen Yulou laughed, opened the folding fan in his hand, looked at Chu Yun who had a pistol on his waist and a long sword on his back, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Chu to be a practicing master. Could he be an expert in using swords?
"
Seeing Chen Yulou deliberately talking to him, Chu Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Chen misunderstood. This sword is only for self-defense. Chu has no talent in swordsmanship."
Back in the world of kung fu, it was not like he had never consulted Zhang Xin on swordsmanship. After all, swordsmen are the best among soldiers, and those who use swords naturally have the advantage of being handsome.
It is a pity that although Chu Yun has made rapid progress in the practice of Tathagata Divine Palm, he really has no talent in swordsmanship. Up to now, he is still stuck at the most basic chopping and thrusting, and his swordsmanship can only use two moves like a cat and a tiger.
"Mr. Chu, it's not me, Lao Luo, who said that firearms are everywhere nowadays. It's no longer the era when martial arts were superior." When Luo Laowai saw this, he also took a look at the long sword on Chu Yun's back, and said carelessly, "So
It's not like I, Old Luo, haven't seen those martial arts masters over the years, but none of them can beat a musket. In my opinion, it's more practical to have a gun in my hand."
Chu Yun smiled and did not explain. He believed that there must be real martial arts masters hidden in this world of ghosts and lamps, but those people probably lived in seclusion and did not care about the world like the tenants of the Pig Cage Walled City.
Otherwise, the white jade finger ring he brought from the world of kung fu would not still be useful here. Maybe there really was a similar pig cage walled city in Shanghai at this time.
Although Chu Yun did not refute Luo Laowai's words, Aaron Awu, who had already seen his force, dismissed it.
That's because Marshal Luo has never seen Mr. Chu's true strength. If Boss Chu can show off his skills in the future, he will definitely not be able to say such things.
"Hey, Mr. Chu, is this fortune-telling business really that easy?" At this time, Chen Yulou suddenly asked. Chen Yulou was a little curious about Chu Yun's reputation throughout Xiangxi, and wondered if he could give it to his family.
The Xiling brothers’ business and learning experience.
Hearing this, Chu Yun was startled. He did not expect that Chen Yulou would suddenly ask such a question.
Now you start to prepare for setting up a fortune-telling stall in the future?
After secretly teasing, Chu Yun smiled and said: "Everyone in this world likes to be the most special one, especially those who are rich and powerful. The higher they stand, the more they want to show their differences.
As long as you grasp this, fortune-telling is not difficult to make a living."
"Hey, you have to have someone as talented and knowledgeable as Mr. Chu!" Mr. Luo grinned, complimented Chu Yun calmly, and then changed the topic, "But Mr. Chu, you may be wrong.
Lao Luo doesn't like to show off himself, so I think in this troubled time, we should just keep our own little land."
"You are putting all your thoughts on the baby!" Chen Yulou closed the folding fan and joked.
The long journey through mountains and rivers really gave Chu Yun a taste of what it felt like for ancient people to travel long distances. Fortunately, he had been practicing martial arts for a long time and his physical fitness was not bad, so he didn't feel too tired after all this journey.
Moreover, time passed by chatting, which did not make Chu Yun and others feel bored.
In a blink of an eye, everyone had arrived at Laoxiong Ridge. Seeing the Miao villages in the deep mountains, Chu Yun stopped and waved to Chen Yulou and the others, "Have a rest here first. Luo Shuai, Mr. Chen will take the lead.
Let the brothers take off their guard and let’s go take a look at the Miao village!”
"Mr. Chu, it looks like we are about to arrive. Why are we resting here? It's not too late to wait until we find the ancient tomb!" Luo Laowai asked puzzledly, but at the same time he waved to Adjutant Yang to inform the team to stop.
.
"Shuai Luo, you don't understand. I watched the stars at night the day before yesterday and saw that the six stars of the South Dipper were dim. As the saying goes, the stars of the South Dipper are alive and the stars of the Big Dipper are dead. The dim stars must be bad for travel, so Mr. Chu let us camp again."
Chen Yulou explained for Chu Yun that as the leader of Xieling who searched for dragons and caves, he naturally also knew about astrology.
Chu Yun was silent. Although he asked everyone to stop because he planned to relieve himself. Secondly, he remembered that Nu Qingji should be nearby, but seeing what Chen Yulou said, he naturally would not refute.
He just smiled and said, "The celestial phenomena and terrain are reflected in the human body."
Seeing that the leader of this trip was difficult to get, both Mr. Chu and the leader of Xiling, Chen Yulou, agreed. Naturally, the others had no objections and quickly deployed the large troops to rest on the spot.
After Chu Yun came back from relieving himself, he saw Chen Yulou and others discussing several Miao villages not far away that seemed to have been forgotten by the world. He stepped forward and scanned the mountains one by one.
There are mountains here, and the scenery looks beautiful, but most of them are broken and it is difficult to build a dragon. It is okay to bury ordinary people, but it is not suitable for princes and nobles to be buried here.
Even without further investigation, Chu Yun knew that except for the general of the Yuan Dynasty who died here due to the plague after the massacre and was buried here because it was inconvenient to bring his body back, other Han princes and nobles would not choose their tombs here at all.
Even among the Miao nobles who were born and raised here, because of their close contact with the Han family, almost no one would be buried here in principle.
Moreover, not only are there many broken veins in this place, but the earth's energy is stagnate, which is not suitable for survival in the ordinary world. In this ghost-blow-out-lantern world, the evil energy condenses, and it is easy for corpses to turn into monsters and other strange things.
After taking a general glance at the landforms of Lao Xiong Ridge, Chu Yun had a good idea of the general situation of the place. He smiled and said to Chen Yulou and others: "Next, I will go into the Miao village to explore. If any of you plan to
Just change your clothes when you go."
"Heroes see the same thing, Mr. Chu. I just want to go to this Miao village and see if I can find some old items. This isolated place has the most good things." Luo Laowai chuckled.
After saying that, he asked Adjutant Yang to get him a pair of rough clothes, but he actually wanted to change into them right here.
"Hey, Lao Luo, you didn't even look at the two ladies here. You really thought they were in your military camp." Chen Yulou closed his folding fan and said with a frown.
With that said, Chen Yulou also ordered to go down and ask Xieling's brothers to bring them clothes.
Because the brothers and sisters of Partridge Shao had to travel through mountains and rivers during this period, their original Taoist uniforms had already been replaced by commoners, so there was no need to change them again.
As for Chu Yun, he has no intention of changing clothes at all. He will just go in as a fortune teller later.
These days of war and turmoil, the people are in dire straits, forcing many fortune tellers to travel around the world begging for food. It is not surprising that a fortune teller travels to this place, at least compared to Chen Yulou, who looks like a tourist businessman.
Dress more naturally.
