Chapter 112: Locking Dragons and Locking People
There are many ambitions in the mountains, just like there are many stories in front of the widow. According to Huang Zijian's story, Mantou Mountain originally refers to more than a dozen hills surrounding this small mountain village. From a distance, it looks like more than a dozen large steamed buns neatly arranged in a steamer, so it is named.
From such a mediocre and daily name to the tall Suolong Mountain, it is due to one of the mountains. In the early Ming Dynasty, a big dragon appeared here, causing floods. The national teacher Liu Bowen conquered the demon here with his sword. This ridge was called "Suolong Mountain". After a long time, it became Suolong Mountain.
There are also legends and allusions, but unfortunately, the fox in the countryside says it is first-class. In addition, it is far away from the city and has inconvenient transportation. Over the past few hundred years, the stars are still the same stars, the moon is still the same mountain, and the beam is still the same beam. It is in a tourist province, but there is no development.
In fact, no one has come down to inspect the county. Some tourism companies have tried to develop new tourism routes. However, the original conditions are too poor. There are more than 300 kilometers of mountain roads from the nearest county, and they are all Huangni Roads. After passing the small mountain village where Malatang lives, even Huangni Roads are gone, and there are only mountain roads that herbicides have walked out for many years.
The old hikers who love adventure also formed gangs and tried to enter the mountain, but half of them were persuaded by the mountain people to go back.
The mountain people here all know that there is a legend about Suolongling that "Nine to Ten Go and Nine to Save One Life", and even the most experienced hunters and herb collectors dare not go deep into the core area. The old hiker who was good at following the words turned around and beat people who didn't believe in evil and insisted on entering the mountain as in the legend, as in the legend, either people disappeared or some became idiots. Since then, the legend of "Suolongling" also locking people has begun to spread in the circle of old hikers, and fewer people have come here.
"The two guests must believe me, just look at the scenery outside Suolong Mountain. It is true that the mountain demon keeps people. If you 10,000 people go in, it will be left alone. If you two go in, it will be left alone. Even the mountain people who live here are no exception, let alone you outsiders..."
Huang Zijian waved his hands repeatedly, and at the same time he used his eyes to stop the malatang that was eager to try.
Xu Changsheng smiled and looked at Malatang: "Brother Huang, your girl seems to have something to say, but unfortunately she can't say it. But I can guess... It's true that people are left in the Lock Dragon Ridge, but there are exceptions. There is an exception that should be on your girl? Am I right?"
Huang Zijian was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "I guessed it. Malatang is disobedient and always wants to make money to cure my bad leg. Over the years, he has secretly brought some bold foreigners to Suolongling, but she can come back safely every time. The old Taoist Master Xuqing, five hundred miles away, helped her see it, saying that she is Tianlian orphan, and is blessed by the mountain god. Even the mountain demon in Suolongling should give her some points..."
“That’s it.”
Xu Changsheng smiled: "In addition to Malatang, there should be exceptions, and it is probably just recently. Brother Huang, am I right?"
Wang Qiang's girlfriend Xiaoli was also from the military. After restoration, she became a good yoga player and a lock unlocking expert. She looks as delicate as a Jiangnan girl. In fact, she is very rebellious at heart and is an old hiker with age.
This time she traveled to Sichuan with a group of hikers. After returning to Chudu, she seemed to be in a devil and wanted to break up with Wang Qiang. Now it seems that the mountain demon in Locking Ridge should have changed her.
However, with Xiaoli's personality, if she had died in Suolongling this time, she would not have hidden it from Wang Qiang. So Xu Changsheng analyzed that this time it was the mountain demon who showed mercy, and did not take human life or made people become idiots. It was probably because the mountain demon had fallen in love with Xiaoli, and did not look at the monks and Buddha faces, and simply let her companions go.
However, the behavior of this mountain monster is very strange. He did not leave Xiaoli directly, but let her go back to Chu Du and end the relationship with Wang Qiang? This is still a principled monster, better than the elder brother Wang who lives next door!
The more this happens, the more Xu Changsheng is eager to see this mountain monster. Judging from the behavior of the mountain monster, it should not hurt Xiaoli. Lao Wang is so anxious that he jumped. Maybe he has already become a sweet brother and sister Mi...
Thinking of this, Xu Changsheng's gaze suddenly became strange when he looked at Wang Qiang, which seemed to be a little strange, as if he was sympathetic and pity, which made Wang Qiang feel uncomfortable and said angrily: "What do you always see me doing?"
"Do the guest even know this?"
Huang Zijian was stunned and nodded, "Indeed, some guests came to the mountain village a few days ago, with both men and women living in my house. No matter how I dissuaded them, they insisted on going to Suolongling to see. I had no choice but to let Malatang serve as a guide for them. At that time, I was thinking that even the old god-sage Taoist Master Xuqing said that she had the blessing of the mountain god, and maybe she could help these guests...
As a result, the mountain demon really didn't keep anyone this time, and the guests came back intact. Malatang was so happy that day, and pestered a girl named Xiaoli to take photos. You people in the city are really good at playing, and they just use mobile phones to take photos. Unfortunately, we don't have mobile phones at home, and we don't have any computers, so we can't keep photos.
However, the girl named Xiaoli came again this morning, but she refused to leave food this time. She only took some water and dry food from my house and went into the mountain alone. Malatang and I couldn't stop her, and she didn't let anyone follow her... Alas, this is a good girl. I hope the mountain god can bless her so that she can return safely."
"Nothing! So willful!"
Wang Qiang became more and more anxious as he heard it. He couldn't help but slapped his thighs hard. Seeing Huang Zijian looking at him strangely, he remembered Xu Changsheng's explanation and hurriedly said, "Ah... I mean, this girl only cares about her own pleasure, but she forgot that she has her parents and relatives. Isn't this too willful?"
“The guest said yes…”
Huang Zijian nodded repeatedly with deep understanding: "You are saying that 'parents are not traveling far away'. Now it is a new society. If young people don't talk about this, they cannot ignore the danger. If something happens, how sad will the parents be?"
Xu Changsheng also nodded: "To be honest with Brother Huang, we two are actually old hikers who love to explore this mysterious place. I feel itchy after hearing the legend of Lock Dragon Ridge. Can you see if you can also let Malatang be our guide? The reward must be doubled, and I promise that Malatang will be protected at any time and will not let her be in any danger."
"Haha, people in the mountains have a low life, so how can they not make money? Besides, Malatang has been to Suolongling for more than a dozen times, and the mountain demon didn't feel sorry for her. What I am worried about is not my own girl, but the two guests..."
Huang Zijian shook his head repeatedly.
This time, unlike last time, Miss Xiaoli had more than a dozen companions and brought enough outdoor survival equipment, and several of them were good at practicing martial arts. The two guests in front of her were just Wang like old guests, and they looked quite strong, but the guests with the surname Xu were as thin as a weak scholar. He was really worried.
"Brother Huang, don't worry, we two have also asked the masters to show it. They are both people with hard bones and hardships. Don't be afraid of this mountain monster."
Xu Changsheng winked at Wang Qiang. He didn't know the depth of this mountain monster and dared not use Taoism easily. To find Xiaoli, it would be impossible without Malatang.
Wang Qiang understood it and took out two thousand yuan from his bag and put it on the table: "Brother Huang, this is a deposit. When we return safely, there will be a three thousand yuan reward. In fact, talking about money will be indifferent. This is our brother's wish. If Brother Huang wants Malatang to go out of the mountains and develop outside in the future, we can also be her guide."
"Her Brother Wang... are you serious?"
