Thousands of mountains and wilderness, drifting boats flying across.
Two days later, the drifting boat had sailed from the river into the Jialing River. When they left the mountain city, they saw the drifting boat sailing into the plains of Shu.
"It's strange to say that there are many mountains and rivers in the southwest. How could a basin be formed in Shu? It's like a basin in the southwest." Yue Guanchao disliked the stuffy cabin, so he stood by the railing and dropped a stone. The river water Countless water splashes are raised, and it can be seen that sailing boats are dotted on the river, each setting sail, which is extremely prosperous.
"I have said before that the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin used to be an ocean. It was geological movements that caused the seawater to flow out, which created the basin today. The geological structure is indeed a miraculous work of nature. I don't find it strange at all. The only thing I am curious about is Yes, where is the Yingyinping Ancient Village hidden?"
"The entire Yinping Ancient Road is mostly steep and steep mountains. It should be difficult for a basin to exist. However, the Wu civilization has been able to live here for nearly ten thousand years. It can be seen that it is indeed a place easy for human beings to survive. However, people in this kind of place have no light. After all, can it really exist for that long?”
"Then if it's not underground, where could it be?"
Song Siyuan couldn't understand any of these doubts.
"Let's talk about it then. Maybe when we get there, we'll know what's going on."
With these doubts, everyone walked along the Jialing River to Jiange County and relied on horse-drawn carriages to reach the river. A long stone arch bridge had been built at the narrowest point of the Fujiang River. Several people walked across the arch bridge to Jiangyou Ancient Town and climbed up the stairs to the station. In front of the gate tower of Jiangyou Town!
Although Jiangyou Ancient Town is already a commercial town, the architectural layout still has the military defense pattern of thousands of years ago. On both sides of the huge gate tower, there are green brick walls built against the mountains and rivers, and further away, the Wanren Mountain Wall It is so tall that there is little need to build a city wall.
Standing at the highest point of the ancient town tower, you can see that the ancient town is shaped like a crescent moon, spread out on the flat tidal flats protruding into the river. All the houses are lined up along the mountains and rivers, with small patios and large eaves, gaoler feet and cold tiles, and the outside is closed inside. The open, small blue-tiled houses hanging on the top of the mountain are scattered in rows, forming tens of thousands of covered courtyards. The white walls and wooden frames outside the courtyard, half-step eaves, and hollow flower ridges are lively and smart.
There are dense and scattered ancient trees on the street, and there are no tidal flats further on, just the green and green Yinping wild mountains. With this as a natural barrier, it can really survive for a thousand years.
Song Siyuan stood in the inner city near the ancient town and carefully observed the layout of Jiangyou Ancient Town. With Chengguan as the center, Jiangyou Ancient Town has a clear dividing line. It is divided into two areas with Chengguan Avenue as the center, North Town and South Town, and South Town. The town and north town are mostly residential areas, and are divided into different streets and lanes along the lines of canals and streets.
Along both sides of the avenue, multi-story pavilions have appeared. There are many shops on the street and hundreds of businesses gather together. It is already a prosperous commercial street. These commercial streets are either concentrated in the middle road or extend into the side streets on both sides of the middle road. Looking at the alley from a high altitude, it is easy to distinguish the boundaries between commercial streets and residential buildings.
She continued to look into the distance. The end of the middle road had extended to the foot of the mountain in the distance. There was a high temple built at the foot of the mountain. It was located exactly in the center of the half moon. It looked particularly strange.
Song Siyuan looked at the map. There were many things marked on this map by the old Taoist priest, including the map of Jiangyou Ancient Town at that time. However, this temple was not shown on the map. If the old Taoist priest had not forgotten to mark it, it would probably have been in the past thirty years. Temples that just sprang up.
"The ancient Yinping Road and the newly built temple will be interesting..."
Song Siyuan had already realized what was fishy, with a look of curiosity on her face.
A few people went down to Chengguanmenlou and found a business hotel along the middle street. After resting in the guest room, Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan came to the hall and saw the boss coming up to the counter and asked: "Boss Qiu, we also stayed here when we were children. Yes, the temple at the end of the middle street is newly built."
"You are talking about the Yin Temple. It is indeed a new temple, but it is twenty or thirty years old. It is not a new temple."
Boss Qiu's words made Song Siyuan curious. If we were to deduce based on time, then the time when the temple was built coincided with the time when the old Taoist priest escaped. She continued to ask: "Why was such a temple built? "
After listening to her words, the boss's eyes returned to mystery, and he lowered his voice and said, "It must be to suppress the dead. There seems to be a living dead outside Jiangyou Ancient Pass."
"Living dead? Is that a dead person or a living person?"
There is a boundary between life and death. If a person blurs this boundary, he must be using strange powers to confuse the spirit, or pretending to be a ghost.
"The dead person who has just been buried walks on his front legs, crawls out of the grave on his back legs, and is still wandering in the mountains. Do you think he is alive or dead?"
Boss Qiu's words were too mysterious. It was possible that people were spreading rumors. Song Siyuan continued to delve into the details of the rumors: "It can't be another rumor."
"It can't be a rumor, let alone someone else. I saw it the month before last."
"Then you have to explain it carefully."
Yue Guanchao pulled Boss Qiu to sit on a stool. Seeing that it was still early, the boss told them a story about his own encounter with the living dead.
A month ago, a group of foreigners came to Boss Qiu's inn. At first, these foreigners were just wandering around the ancient city. Standing in front of the city gate, they saw that the direction of the Yinping Ancient Road was completely deserted, and they became curious about the Yinping Wild Mountain.
So, these foreigners found Boss Qiu, gave him a sum of money, and asked him to be their guide and take them around the Yinping Ancient Road several times.
He really didn't want to go to this request, but for the sake of free money, he had no choice but to accept the task. However, they had already promised that they could only wander around Jiangyouguan and not go deeper into the Yinping Ancient Road. Otherwise, he will not be responsible if something happens.
These foreigners were eager to venture into the Yinping Wild Mountains, and they promised well. However, when they arrived near Jiangyou Pass, they ignored the advice and wanted to continue walking in. Boss Qiu saw that they were bent on death, so he revealed the news that there were living dead people on the Yinping Ancient Road. They are.
I thought that these foreigners could retreat despite the difficulties, but I didn't know that these foreigners were all fucking rebellious. When they heard that there were living dead, they became excited and tried to drag him forward.
In the end, there was really no other choice. Boss Qiu had to give the money to the Chai Fu who was on his way into the mountains, and asked them to continue walking with the foreigners, while he returned to Jiangyou Guanbao Tower to wait for them.
After waiting for three days, they still didn't come back. When Chai Fu brought the people back, only a female foreigner came back tremblingly. She said that after traveling more than ten miles to Jiangyou Pass, she saw someone crawling out of the dirt in broad daylight. , those people got separated from her.
Later, the foreign devil contacted the embassy in the capital of Shu and was picked up by the people from the embassy. As a result, he was detained in the bureau for several days before being released in the past two days.
"Then you haven't seen the living dead in person?"
Some people died, but not completely...
