Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 286 Stone Bridge Road

During this period, every ten days or so, the little snake would wake up once, and fell asleep again after a while. The snake's body was light red, and the snake's pupils were dim. The book hurt the vitality of this little thing!

From the beginning to the end, I studied this volume of ancient books for [-] days, a full [-] days, day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, I am afraid that I have worked harder than the college entrance examination back then!However,
In these three months and 50 days, I can learn a little bit. I am afraid that a little bit of superficiality is not bad. , How could it be possible to comprehend thoroughly in a short period of time? If you want to integrate this two-thirds of the way, it will take three to five years, ten to eight years, or even three to fifty years. Chance, comprehension , insight, reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, some things need time to settle out little by little.

From jumping off this cliff to today, Mangshan Jiang’s family has learned nothing for one month, and Chen’s family has an ancient scroll for three months and 130 days, [-] days. In this barren mountain and wild land, I have been isolated from the world for nearly five months. .

Up to now, although I am not proficient in this talisman formation and Yin-Yang Xuanshu, it should not be a problem to protect myself against evil and ghosts. In order to test how good I am, I even ran for ten After a few miles of mountain roads, I found a mass grave and stayed overnight.

That night, when the group of lonely ghosts saw my evil boy, they were like the old cat seeing Hun Xing'er. They were in groups of three or four, full of will-o'-the-wisps, but they didn't make trouble for me. I simply let go of my hands and feet. The talisman, deterring the little ghosts, a few hand formations, the sleepy little ghosts can't escape, sweating profusely all night, making this group of lonely souls and wild ghosts enough to make a fuss, to be honest. I have lived for more than 20 years, and this is the only time I'm so relieved to abuse the kid!
As for my injuries, I have already recovered from them, and my body has been trained to be much tougher. I have trained my muscles and bones outwardly, restrained my breath, and I have a few tricks I don't know how to do. I guess I still have the power to parry a bandit. Not to mention, as for me now, who abused that good-for-nothing back then, it should not be a problem to abuse two or three with one hand!

When I went back to the cave the next day, I finally had a good sleep. I didn’t expect that I slept until the evening. I felt refreshed and refreshed. I started to pack my things a few times. Ready to leave this peaceful land where I lived for 130 eight days!

Humans are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, when I gritted my teeth and jumped down this cliff, a few pine trees with crooked necks saved my life, a handful of pine nuts and walnuts, and a mouthful of mountain spring water saved my life, for me , this piece of cliff ten miles, the benefactors are all my benefactors, 130 days to shelter from the wind and rain, a place to stay, a breather, and a whole body of property in my arms, I slowly left this barren mountain, when I came out of the mountain, I couldn't help but look back for a moment, bent over, knelt down, and kowtowed to a paradise, grateful for the life-saving grace!

Standing up and turning his head, he ran out of the mountain all the way. At the beginning, the old man Jiang left five clues for his treasures. The blood on the head and the tendons of the unicorn are the second. There is an old saying in the village, the cow runs down the unicorn and the pig runs down. Needless to say, the unicorn, It is the beast of auspiciousness. In the myths and stories, it is said that it is the beast of the Four Holy Beasts. There must be many people who have heard the rumors. As for this Ben, many people may not know.

Ben, formerly known as Dangkang, alias Yayu, howled like Dangkang, so it was named Dangkang. Rumor has it that Dangkang grew fangs like a pig and was ugly in appearance, but it was an auspicious beast that brought good harvests.

The so-called Qilin and Ben were originally things in ancient legends. As for whether they existed or not, it was unknown, but later people said that Qilin and Ben were descendants of cows and pigs descended from heaven.

I heard the old man said that when you meet a unicorn, you will get auspiciousness, and you will get a good harvest when you meet a howling. As for who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, there is no need for it, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

In the clues left by the old man Jiang, it is said that there is a pig butcher Zhu Lingsan in Pingyao, Shanxi. It’s no less than [-] miles to Pingyao. I’m walking overnight under the moon. I guess I’ll get there by noon tomorrow if I take a train.

I didn’t think too much about the hasty journey. I walked out of the barren mountain and went straight to the railway station near Zhengzhou city. I walked all the way there on foot. Not to mention, I’ve practiced for a while, and my leg strength has improved. Quite a few, I went out of the barren hills in the evening, and within three to five hours, when it was almost midnight, I was close to the border of Zhengzhou City.

Because I came here on a mountain path, I almost passed through barren mountains and wild lands all the way, or I passed through some farm villages. This farm village is sparsely populated, and there are only a few bungalows left, and a few small farm houses outside the village. , old, and there are some old bridges and old trees, but this road is interspersed with trails and shortcuts, I didn't expect to encounter trouble when passing through a small town.

The small town is not big, at most it is only five miles away. When passing through the town, some old houses and old trees are common, and the rural buildings also have a bit of ancient charm. The slightly larger and more luxurious buildings are blue bricks and white. The glazed tile wall is antique, and one can tell from the sight of this rural building that this small town is probably quite old!
At this time, it was actually not too late. Looking at the full moon in the sky, it was around eleven o'clock at most, because it was not too far from the train, and I didn't plan to stay overnight. I walked through this small town to the train station. , entered the town and walked for a while, and walked together, except for the street lights along the way, the farmhouses along the way had turned off the lights in the dark, as if they had fallen asleep early in the morning.

After walking for a while, I felt a little more puzzled. Ordinarily, it’s not a big deal for the elderly to go to bed early and get up early, but it’s normal for some young people to stay up late and turn on the lights. I just didn’t expect this ancient All the families in this quaint town actually went to bed so early.

Walking south along this road, after passing most of the town, I saw a stone bridge road from a long distance. The three-meter-wide stone bridge road spans a small river ditch with flowing water. The weak willows Fufeng on both sides of the strait have also sprouted buds. Although it should not be cold at this time of year, but this night the wind blows gently and blows along the stone bridge along the river ditch on my face. I actually shivered and shivered!
I didn't think much about it at first, but when I got to the stone bridge, I suddenly stopped, and I was only a hundred steps away. On the stone bridge, there was an iron basin, a fire, a hunched and thin figure, and several mournful voices. There was a sobbing sound in his throat, and by the way, there was a pile of Yinming paper money and hand-folded gold and silver ingots beside him.

Looking at this posture, I really hesitated for a while. Ordinarily, this bridge for sending souls, crossroads, is either to attract spirits or ghosts, or to burn paper to sacrifice people. No matter which one, it should be a taboo for strangers and something that passers-by should avoid. People have their way, and ghosts have their way. If you can’t meet them, try to avoid them as much as possible. Look at this. It should be to worship relatives!

But when I look around, this small river ditch is six or seven meters wide, and it winds east and west, but I can't see the end. If I avoid it and take a detour, maybe it will pass ten miles or eight miles in an hour or two. Simply, I was in a hurry to hurry, so I gritted my teeth and made the prisoner taboo.

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that my little heart is a little overwhelmed after learning the Yin-Yang technique for more than 100 days. , but after all, it is because people are young, young and short-sighted, and with three points of courage, they can see less of the world. After all, there is something that cannot be calculated. Is it because the skillful person is bold, or the person is stupid and reckless. Only after passing through can he grow brain!

I gritted my teeth, raised my legs, and stepped onto Shiqiao Road, a small bridge more than ten meters away. I walked along the small bridge in a hurry, thinking that I would try my best to avoid people burning paper to worship ancestors. I couldn't see the expression on my face, I only heard a few low-pitched sobs, but after walking four or five steps, the low-pitched sobs suddenly froze for a moment, and the sobs stopped abruptly, and I also stopped my feet abruptly. There was no surprise or fear in itself, and this almost subconsciously froze for a moment.

Stunning my feet for a moment, I shook my head suddenly, raised my leg and was about to move forward again, but just as I took a step, the crooked figure in the firelight moved, and I left him out of the corner of my eye, looking at the figure The boy turned his head slowly towards me.

The moment I turned my head, I raised my foot halfway, and suddenly froze. It wasn't that he startled or frightened me, but at that moment, with the moonlight and flames on my back, that dark and unrecognizable face, I couldn't help but stop and take a look. To put it bluntly, it was all caused by curiosity!
Stopping there, the figure drooped its head, and all it could see was a dark and wrinkled face, frizzy and sparse hair running down its forehead, covering half of its face, and its eyes were staring straight up through the rough hair. Picking up, looking at me with a silly and miserable look, the feeling... I can't tell if it's like a light on my back, but being stared at by such a pair of eyes at night makes no one feel uncomfortable. Silly.
