Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 403 In front of Jiulong Ridge
"Where can't I go? Why can't I go?" Wu Zhanzhan asked hurriedly.

Ding Ermiao, Li Qingdong and Gu Qinglan also looked at Wu Jie together, expecting his next explanation.

"This..." Wu Jie paused and said, "I won't be able to explain this for a while. I will tell you when we get to the mountain."

Ding Ermiao took the words and asked tentatively: "Is there a ghost in the mountain?"

Wu Jie's face changed slightly, he looked at Ding Ermiao and the others, and said hesitantly: "Legend has it that there are ghosts and zombies. But they are all in the deep mountains, and ordinary people can't enter because of the miasma."

"Stop talking so much, Brother Wu, just clean up and take us into the mountains." Wu Zhanzhan was eager to find a teacher and urged him repeatedly.

"It's already afternoon now. If you go into the mountain, you won't be able to come back at night. And judging by the weather, it will rain soon. If you want to go into the mountain, at least tomorrow morning." Wu Jie's wife said, pointing to the sky outside the door .

This is a woman in her early thirties, very simple, virtuous and easy-going, with a faint smile on her face.

The weather outside was gloomy and terrible.Although it was still early, it felt like night was coming.Wu Zhanzhan walked out and took a look. It was already drizzling.

While he was meditating, the rain gradually increased, and soon it turned into a downpour. The world was in chaos, mixed together by the rain, and the distant mountains and nearby trees were blurred and invisible.

Wu Zhanzhan sighed heavily and looked at each other with Ding Ermiao and others. They were thinking that it seemed that they were destined to not be able to go up the mountain tonight and would have to stay at Wu Jie's house for one night.

Thinking of the heavy rain and the fact that Master's body might be out in the wild at this moment, suffering from the rain and wind, Wu Zhanzhan's eyes turned red and he almost burst into tears...

"Brother Wu, Sister Wu, let's discuss this." Gu Qinglan said, "We will go to the mountains tomorrow. Can we stay at your house for one night?"

With that said, Gu Qinglan picked up the wad of cash that Wu Zhanzhan had just placed on the table and put it into the hand of Wu Jie's wife.Mrs. Wu declined for a while, but finally couldn't resist and accepted the 5000 yuan.

"Of course you can stay for one night, or as long as you want. It's just that the conditions are not good, and I'm neglecting everyone." Sister-in-law Wu pointed to the stairs and said: "There are still rooms up there, I'll clean them up. You two have a room, which is just enough." "

Wu Jie's house is a two-story building. It looks like it was built recently.

Gu Qinglan followed Mrs. Wu up to take a look and found that it was okay.There are a living room and two bedrooms upstairs, which are better decorated than downstairs, with white floor tiles.

In the living room downstairs, Wu Jie made a few cups of tea and accompanied his guests at the Eight Immortals table.Wu Jie was not good at talking and was taciturn, so Li Qingdong took the initiative to ask.

"Brother, what is the origin of this place called Si Tomb Mountain?" Li Qingdong asked slowly while blowing the tea leaves floating on the tea cup.

"Professor Li, just call me Wu Jie." Wu Jie smiled honestly, thought for a while and said, "It is said that there used to be four ancient tombs in this mountain, so it is called Four Tombs Mountain."

"Then have you seen those four ancient tombs? Where are they?" Li Qingdong asked again.

Wu Jie shook his head and said, "I've never seen it. They say it's in Jiulong Ridge, but no one dares to go there. There's a miasma there, and it's the border between the two countries. It's still dozens of miles away from here on the mountain road."

"Jiulongling?" Ding Ermiao pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the origin of the name Jiulongling?"

"Oh, there are nine waterfalls on Jiulong Ridge. If you are lucky, you can see the waterfall on that side from the top of the mountain here. But Jiulong Ridge is right at the junction of the two countries. Over Jiulong Ridge, you will reach the country of Myanmar."

There are actually nine waterfalls on Jiulong Ridge?

Hearing this, Li Qingdong, Ding Ermiao and Wu Zhanzhan were slightly surprised.As disciples of Maoshan, they all know what the nine waterfalls represent.

The Feng Shui pattern of one dragon and nine sons and the dragon ascending to the nine heavens can be arranged using nine waterfalls.If the mountain topography is excellent, you can build an imperial mausoleum opposite the Kujo Waterfall.

Could it be that there are imperial tombs in the Four Tombs Mountain?
Li Qingdong straightened his beard and asked again: "Then do you know whose tomb is that? Which dynasty?"

"How do I know this? I haven't seen it, I just heard about it." Wu Jie shook his head and smiled, then suddenly frowned and asked: "By the way, Professor Li, you came here for archeology, didn't you want to inspect the four ancient tombs?"

"Yes, our target is the four ancient tombs." Wu Zhanzhan took the words and said: "Brother Wu, can you take us there tomorrow? No matter how much it costs, I won't let your help go in vain."

Wu Jie was taken aback, waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to go to that place. It's not a matter of money..., people will die."

"Let's talk tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we'll take a look from a distance." Li Qingdong stopped Wu Zhanzhan with his eyes.

Wait until tomorrow to enter the mountain, and coax Wu Jie to move forward step by step.If he got to a dangerous place, Wu Jie really didn't dare to go there before making any plans.

Now that people are being pushed into a hurry, be careful that it will backfire.I finally found a guide, but I had to take it easy.

While talking, Mrs. Wu and Gu Qinglan packed up the room upstairs and walked downstairs together.

Sister-in-law Wu was very hospitable and was busy killing chickens and cooking.Seeing Mrs. Wu being busy, Gu Qinglan felt a little dissatisfied, so she stepped forward to help her, while chatting with Mrs. Wu about daily life and getting to know the customs and customs here.

It was raining heavily outside, and it showed no signs of letting up.

Sister-in-law Wu is very quick, and she has Gu Qinglan to help her.As soon as the rice was cooked, Wu Jie invited everyone to sit down.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and Wu Jie and his wife gave almost everything they had to persuade each other warmly.But Wu Zhanzhan was not in the mood to taste it, so he put down his chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls of food.Ding Ermiao, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about it, eating and drinking freely.

After the meal, Ding Ermiao and others chatted with Wu Jie for a long time at the Eight Immortals table, and continued to inquire about the situation of Si Tomb Mountain.But what Wu Jie said was just a little bit, and it was just what he heard, so it's not certain whether it can be counted.

Unable to find any clues, everyone went upstairs to rest and spent the night in silence.

At dawn the next day, Wu Zhanzhan got up, knocked on the door to wake up Ding Ermiao and others, and then went downstairs to wash up.

Wu Jie and his wife had also gotten up, and Mrs. Wu had already prepared breakfast and invited everyone to eat.

Ding Ermiao walked out and took a look. The sky had cleared.After a heavy rain last night, the sky was blue and as pure as the sea, and the air was fresh and moist, refreshing.

After breakfast, the sun had just begun to show its light.

Wu Jie put on his leggings, carried his shotgun and backpack, and took the lead in clearing the way and leading everyone into the mountain.

Gu Qinglan's suitcase was also brought over, and Ding Ermiao carried it on his shoulders.However, some of the equipment in the suitcase is divided into my own backpack. The current suitcase is not very heavy.

The autumn mountains are empty and deserted.There were mountains and rocks on top of each other, and everyone moved forward silently, as if they were walking in a trance in the ancient world.

Not long after entering the mountain, Gu Qinglan took out her mobile phone and looked at it. The signal was already very weak.

After nearly five hours of trekking, at around eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone, led by Wu Jie, stood on the top of an extremely high mountain.

"Look, there is Jiutiao Waterfall opposite!" Wu Jie pointed to the mountain peak opposite and said excitedly:

"Fortunately, there was heavy rain last night. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be able to see this waterfall."
