Chapter Thirty-Three Old Things
Liu Yun once had a distant cousin who had always lived in a small county town in the north. In his early years, he was a very famous local businessman. He was so sleek and sophisticated, very business-minded, and very pioneering. When he turned 20 years old, he left his hometown alone with 200 yuan. He found a way out and began his struggle journey. From then on, he traveled around the country and experienced the weather. In less than five years, he had traveled almost half of China.
In the early 1960s, he came to Hunan and entered western Hunan along Yuanling. When he passed a mountain, due to sudden changes in the weather, strong winds and thunderstorms were caused. He had no choice but to stop moving forward and find a cave to shelter from the wind and rain.
It is said that this mountain is called General Mountain. It is located on the edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It has a strange terrain, with rugged rocks, and the mountains are covered with a large number of extremely rare strange flowers and plants. According to legend, Wu Sangui rebelled, fought from Yunnan to Guizhou, and then seized Hengyang and ascended the throne in Hengyang. The country was named Dazhou. However, it was coincidental that it was in the same year that he became emperor and had some serious illness for some reason. He passed away in just a few months.
His soldiers were originally planning to transport the body from Guizhou to Yunnan on the same route, but unexpectedly, they were ambushed by Qing soldiers on the way. Most of the soldiers were killed here, and only a few people survived by chance. After the smoke of gunpowder retreated, the remaining survivors buried a general in this mountain. As for who the general was, whose surname was, and whether it was even possible that it was Wu Sangui himself, it was impossible to verify.
According to the older generation, in the dark and windy summer night, when the night is quiet, if you come to Lingling Valley at the foot of General Mountain alone, you will most likely see a huge ghost soldier who uses the passage, with golden swords and iron horses.
Later, about two centuries later, after the defeat of the Dadu River by the Wing King Shi Dakai, the large amount of gold, silver and jewelry brought by his army was said to have been hidden in this mountain, but it is unknown where it is. Until one day in the 1920s and 1930s, a group of Kuomintang troops came here secretly, as if they were for the lost treasures, but they all returned in vain.
Perhaps it was because Liu Yun, the cousin, had just arrived and knew nothing about strange stories and strange stories here. Or perhaps it was because he was a materialist since he was a child and never believed in any theory of ghosts and gods. Therefore, even if the environment in front of him was gloomy and terrifying, he was not afraid at all.
As a master-level senior traveler, his outdoor survival ability is definitely second to none. After all, for him, this kind of wandering and living for home in the world is as common as home, and he has long been familiar with it. The only thing he is a little dissatisfied is that he was a little too careless this time, and he actually went around in such a wilderness and encountered such bad weather. If this ghost weather continues like this, then will his business still be done.
However, even if I was a little dissatisfied, I just complained a few times, and my heart was still as calm as water, but the oil lamp would cost a lot of oil.
This huge cave was not as airtight as he imagined. On the contrary, it leaked everywhere and rainwater was everywhere. He had to try to get closer to the old hole. Although the light of the oil lamp did not play much role and the visible range it could bring to him was less than one meter, at least with this ray of light, it would make him feel warm and hopeful.
He untied his luggage and took out all the cloth and straw mats. He could wrap one more piece, and put one more layer on one layer. He could drive away the cold and keep warm.
The subtle flame swayed in the wind, as if it would suddenly fade away in the next second. The rain became heavier and heavier, and it slapped on the rock walls and among the plants. A flash of lightning flashed from time to time on the top of the mountain in the distance, generously illuminating the entire earth and ruthlessly tearing the entire night sky.
After a long journey, he was exhausted and could no longer resist his sleepiness. He closed his eyes and leaned back at will, and fell asleep.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to hear someone crying in a daze.
"Wuwuwu...Wuwuwuwu..." He heard it right, there was really someone crying.
Hum? What's going on?
He stood up with a tremor, and the rain outside the cave was much less, but it was still pitch black.
"Woooooo...woooooooooo..." is the voice of a woman.
"Who is there?" He stared at the place where the sound came.
"Wuwuwu...Wuwuwu..." I couldn't stop.
"Girl?" He slowly moved towards the source of the sound, trying to find out.
Suddenly, the crying came to an abrupt end.
He immediately stopped and looked carefully along the light. He saw the woman sitting upright on a stone platform, with long hair reaching her waist, red clothes that looked like fire, and her hands were covering her face and sobbing silently.
"Girl? Is there anything I can help?" He was so bold.
"Save me...Save me..." The woman put down her hands, and a beautiful face with pear blossoms and rain appeared in front of him, with a peach blossom face, beautifying the whole country.
"Okay, how do you tell me how to save you." This was a coincidence. He never thought that he could shelter from the rain with such a peerless beauty in such a deep mountain forest. He was so anxious to wake up in a dream.
"Marry me...marry me..."
"What?" Is this too direct...
"Marry me..."
"Uh, girl, where is your home? Why did you come here late at night?" He suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Ha...he...he..." The woman suddenly laughed gloomy, her eyes gradually turned bloody and she stared at him tightly.
"!!!" For a moment, his whole back was cold and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"???" After he calmed down a little, he suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was gone.
Uncle! Did he have a dream again?
He rubbed his eyes and looked ahead again, but there was still nothing.
You must be too tired! Go to bed and leave as soon as the sun is dawn!
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a strong chill coming towards him. This depressing and lifeless aura made him feel creepy and chilled.
Whose monster is here to cause trouble??!!
He had no more worries and turned around suddenly.
"Ah—" A scream was gone, and there was no more text.
Liu Yun thought this was a joke from the bottom of his heart. Although his grandmother repeatedly emphasized that this was a true story and that it was vivid and vivid, it was still not as good as Liu Yun's laughter. As a firm successor of socialism, he always believed in the truth that all monsters and monsters are paper tigers. If you talk to him about monsters and monsters, wouldn't that be funny?
However, since then, Liu Yun has really checked a lot of historical books and mastered the landscape, customs, folk history and other places in Xiangxi. In addition, he watched some zombie movies made in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so he became more interested in Xiangxi. If it weren't for the fact that no one was willing to go with him, he would have gone 800 times.
Why no one is willing to go together... It's because these friends of Liu Yun are even more cowardly than Liu Yun... They are all extremely curious about this place but full of awe. They want to go on a trip but are not just satisfied with traveling. They really think they can find some secrets. Anyway, they just push back and talk about it, so they still talk on paper and dare not act.
To be honest, Liu Yun really wanted to go to Xiangxi to see if there was that mountain, whether there was a hole on the mountain, and what had happened in the cave. After all, those mysterious events about Xiangxi that were well-known and familiar, have long been subtly imprinted in Liu Yun's heart, causing him to have the desire to uncover the mystery of Xiangxi. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to let him go alone, but now with this Nangong Ziyou, I will let her accompany you and accompany you all the way. The two of them worked together to uncover the secrets in the deep mountains.
