Yuanbao walked up to Qingyan, fed her a mouthful of mutton and then said, "What does that money have to do with us? Don't you care about the formation on the stone gate?"
Chou Chou: "..."
Jin Yang: "..."
Qingyan: "..."
They had really forgotten this. After hearing Chou Chou's words not to let it break the formation too early, Jin Yang withdrew his consciousness and discussed it with them while eating.
As for Chou Chou and Qing Yan, their attention was diverted by the transferred money and they did not think about the formation for a while.
As for Gold, he was busy helping everyone barbecue, serving tea, and participating in the conversation, so he had no time to think about that.
"Yes, that tunnel and basement can be said to have been dug by the Yu family. What about the formations? The formations on the stone gate were also carved by the Yu family, right? Could it be that their ancestors had people who practiced formations?"
Qingyan expressed her doubts.
Now that everyone was full, they put away the grill and charcoal fire and sat directly at the table nearby.
Since they knew it would rain in the space, they also built a small pavilion in the yard, with a set of stone tables and chairs underneath, where they could usually sit and drink tea and chat.
They held cups and drank tea. This was tea brewed with spiritual spring water in the space. The tea leaves were good tea bought in the capital.
Now that I have come to the south, I can look for tea trees in the mountains if I have the opportunity. Then transplant them into the space. I can fry tea by myself in the future. If I water the spiritual spring water regularly, I might even be able to grow spiritual tea.
cough! The topic has gone too far, let’s get back to the present moment.
Chou Chou said: "Probably not. I have seen the entire Yu family. Except that there are no traces of formations or practitioners here, Master Yu and Young Master Yu have some skills, and they are not weak. Others They are all ordinary people.”
Jin Yang also used his spiritual consciousness to look at the stone door again, and after a while he said to them: "I looked carefully again and found that the stone door and the authentic stone bricks were not from the same period. Together they are actually a bit out of place.
I can't see the stone bricks behind the stone door. If they are the same as the ones in front, then the stone door is probably obtained from elsewhere, and the formation on it is likely to have been there many years ago. "
Chou Chou: "The stone bricks at the back are older and larger than the ones at the front. They are very similar to the stone bricks used in ancient tombs, and the same is true for the stone chamber.
When you put it this way, I think the tunnel leading to the Yu family, and the approximately 200-foot passage leading to the bank at the back, were probably dug later, and the middle section is more spacious. Maybe it existed before. "
Qingyan reasoned: "Do you think there is a possibility that there is actually a tomb behind this stone gate? The ancestors of the Yu family used to be tomb robbers, and they settled here after discovering this ancient tomb.
After all, after buying this place, it is your own territory. It is normal to carry out large-scale construction such as building a yard and so on. No one can notice it by digging during the construction period.
So the later section was actually a tomb robbery cave, with the original tomb passage inside, and the one leading to the bank was dug after cooperation with Mr. Huang.
The bank is indeed not far from Yu's home, only about 400 feet, but it is really close. There is a street and a courtyard in the middle. If it were not for the 100-foot tomb passage below, it would not be easy to dig. Yes, most people would never think of this. "
Huang Jin had a different opinion, "That's not right. Does the tomb only have one stone chamber? Don't ordinary tombs have at least three or more chambers?"
The tombs of civilians only have one pit, and there are no tomb passages at all, but there is no need to create formations.
Now that we have made formations and built tombs, why would we only build one? This is a bit unreasonable. "
Qingyan thought about the ancient tombs she had seen before, and it was true that tombs of certain sizes basically had side chambers, built right next to the main tomb chamber, and there were even suspicious tombs to confuse the sight of tomb robbers.
Chou Chou: "If it is the tomb of a cultivator, it is possible. The previous burial places of the Moon Night Wolf Demon and the Xunfeng Leopard only dug a deep hole for themselves, and the entrances to the passages also have their death marks. Defense left behind.
This tomb is made of bricks and stones, and has passages and chambers. It is obviously not a demon, but if it is protected by a formation, it may have been built by humans. There were many monks many years ago.
In terms of region, there used to be many Taoist cultivators in this area. Even now, there are many Taoist temples, but I don't know if there is any inheritance in them. "
Gold has a say in this, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, I moved from here to the capital a few years ago.
Before that, I practiced in Longgai Mountain on the other side of Jingzhou, which is still a few hundred miles away. There are three peaks in the sky, Pyongyang at the bottom, Jingjiang River on the left, and Dongting on the right. It is known as Xiao Nanyue, and there are mountains on the mountain. This Taoist temple is called Xiutian Temple, and my master is the master of Xiutian Temple.
According to my master, Xiutian Temple has been around since the Han Dynasty. It was very popular at that time and had many disciples. However, it declined after several wars in the early years. Now only a few Taoist priests are still struggling to support it.
However, my masters and the others are all very capable, although not as good as Boss Chou Chou. After all, Boss is an ancient beast with a complete inheritance, but compared to those Taoist monks who are just trying to gain fame, they are still a few steps ahead of them. "
Qingyan was a little excited when she heard the name and address. She had been to this place more than once.
It was their parents who took them there. It is said that the Wanxiang boxing technique that their family practiced was acquired by their parents there.
When my parents were only teenagers, it was a special period at that time. My parents went there to join forces and saved a Taoist priest from a soldier. The boxing score was given to them by the Taoist priest.
Oh, by the way, I also helped to fish up a statue from the bottom of the nearby lake. It is said that it is the statue of Nanyue Patriarch enshrined in the temple.
But later it was no longer called Longgai Mountain, but was renamed Nanyue Mountain.
She also heard her mother tell a legend there, saying that two dragons used to live in the mountainside lake next to it. Every time they appeared, they would be shrouded in clouds and mist, making the entire mountain seem to be covered. This is why the mountain got its name.
Now that they have come here, they will also go there later. Although there is still a few hundred miles away, it is completely convenient, so they can go there and have a look, just like revisiting the old place.
See what the scenery looked like more than a thousand years ago. You can also take pictures with your camera and take them back to show your parents.
Then I heard Huang Jin continue to say: "The reason why it is called Longgai Mountain is because there are two dragons pressed next to it. It is said that the two dragons are locked there. They can only hover at the top of the mountain and cannot leave. .
Legend has it that they were punished by God for doing something wrong and were imprisoned there. Every time they came out to circle around the mountain, the mountain would be shrouded in clouds and mist, and the whole mountain seemed to be covered by a dragon. That's why they Therefore, it is named Longgai Mountain.
But what I heard from my master was another legend. My master heard it from his master, who was also my master.
It is said that my master once met those two dragons when he was young. At that time, he had just started to practice. He almost lost his breath because of his rashness, but one of the dragons saved him. There was also communication between them.
The two dragons were indeed pinned under the bottom of the lake, and their identities were still known.
The two dragons were a couple. The wife was the princess of Dongting Lake, and the husband was the Dragon Prince of Poyang Lake. However, they could not be said to have done something wrong, they could only be said to have violated the laws of heaven.
It seems that the area where they are located is supposed to have a severe drought that lasts for three years, but because they are soft-hearted and cannot bear the suffering of the people, they use their magical power to secretly send rain, so that the drought ends in one year.
This disaster was originally a punishment for the local people's disrespect for the gods. Because they were destroyed by them, they angered the gods above. They were supposed to be executed. However, because of this incident, they gained the love of the people and gained merit, so they were given a lighter sentence. Imprisoned. "
Qingyan and ChouChou looked at each other and thought in unison, these two are my "Qingyan" parents!
The dragon pearl of Jinghe Longzi said that her soul has the soul breath of Dongting Dragon Girl and Poyang Longzi, so it is determined that she is the descendant of the two.
If that's the case... Qingyan couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Her parents were quite miserable in their previous lives~
Could it be that she was kept here until she died and was reincarnated as her parents?
So are those two dragons still pressing there? After all, it was more than a thousand years ago, so it should still be there, otherwise she would have been reincarnated dozens of times by her parents' generation.
So everyone's attention was transferred from the ancient tombs underground to Longgai Mountain. They all listened with interest and wanted to go over there and have a look now.
"In that case, let's go there when we can leave the city. We were originally going to Dongting, and we happened to be passing by there."
Qingyan said that because she was not sure whether her parents' previous lives were still there, she did not express this conjecture until it was confirmed.
There was no objection elsewhere. Anyway, for them, they could go anywhere, they would just follow Qingyan and Chou Chou.
After that, they left the space and went to rest separately. Qingyan couldn't help but use her spiritual consciousness to look in the direction of Yu's house that Jin Yang pointed out to her, and found that she couldn't even see the tunnel.
There was no way, the entrance was closed, and there was no way for her consciousness to penetrate it. It seemed that she still had to practice more, and maybe she could penetrate the ground in the future.
Even if I can't catch up with Chou Chou, I can still catch up with Jin Yang. I originally thought that I was similar to Jin Yang, but now I see there is still a difference.
After a peaceful sleep, I got up the next day and went outside to inquire. The city gate was still not open, and I could only enter but not exit.
However, the soldiers guarding the city revealed that they should be able to come and go freely this afternoon or tomorrow morning at the latest.
They paid for the room for another day and were planning to leave tomorrow. There was no point in leaving in the afternoon. They couldn't walk very far and they had to find a place to rest. They might as well leave tomorrow morning as they could buy some more things today.
Today I plan to eat out three times a day. I eat at several big restaurants in the city. I pack the delicious food and put it in the space for eating on the road.
Qingyan also went to a weaving workshop through inquiring and gave some money to learn how to spin thread for a long time. She also bought a spinning wheel and some tools.
In fact, it's not complicated. You just have to learn it from scratch and memorize the steps one by one, so you waste some time.
She also tried it with the cotton and linen there, and left only after getting confirmation from the master inside.
They came out in a carriage just for the convenience of shopping. Jin Yang and Huang Huang moved the spinning wheel into the carriage and moved it some distance away before putting it into the space.
Qingyan stopped going shopping with them. Except for going out when eating, she spent the rest of her time tinkering in the space.
Get proficient in it while you are just learning it, to avoid forgetting it after a long time.
By the time she returned to the inn in the evening, Qingyan had already spun two balls of wool thread. Although the thickness was not very uniform, it was still usable.
It's just that she made it by destroying several pieces of leather, and the hair on the leather was cut into a mess by her.
I couldn't help it, all I bought was fur, not just wool. There was wool felt, but that couldn't be broken down into wool, so it was all on the bed.
There are a lot of goats on the mountain in the space, and they can be sheared, but then they have to be washed and dried, which will take at least a few days.
After the two balls of wool came out, Qingyan's hands became quite familiar, so she asked Chou Chou to make several sets of bamboo sweater needles for her, some thick and some thin, and she would make some thin threads when she became more skilled.
Before going to bed at night, Qingyan knitted a sock out of a medium-sized sweater. Huang Jin, Jin Yang, and Yuan Bao all looked at it in amazement. They didn't expect that a ball of hair would turn into a sock.
They are soft and warm to the touch, and they are definitely more comfortable on your feet than what they are wearing now.
Except for Yuan Bao, who was useless, everyone looked at her expectantly.
Qingyan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have them all. When I spin the thread, I will knit a pair for you. But you have to shear the fur of the animal in the space, otherwise there won't be enough fur."
Jin Yang patted his chest and said, "No problem, I can control them, recruit them all, and shear them one by one."
Chou Chou and Huang Jin also said they would help clean and tidy up, but Yuan Bao had no part in it and was a little depressed. It wasn't until Qing Yan agreed to knit a mat for it that it started to stand up again.
Although they were about to leave, they still took the time to pay attention to the situation at the Yu family and the government.
It was found that they interrogated the bandits overnight, and as expected, they did not interrogate Mr. Huang and the Yu family.
The whereabouts of the transferred silver were not found, but several dens in their mountains were found. There were quite a lot of gold, silver, treasures, grain and horses in them.
Although the lost disaster relief funds and official banknotes could not be replaced, more than half of the losses were recovered.
Qingyan also wrote several anonymous letters and asked Chou Chou to deliver them to several officials respectively, and the so-called Master Huang and the underground bank of the Yu family were ordered.
In this way, unless they are all colluding together, they can always get the money back.
They definitely won't touch these Qingyan, they are for disaster relief, and they don't add more because they are afraid of being embezzled.
