The territory of Changtan Ancient Town is neither large nor small. It will still take a lot of trouble to find the grave of Master Niang. After driving for a long time, Yi Ba and I were already hungry. So the two of us decided to eat first. After all, only after we are full can we have the strength to do other things!
After eating, Yiba and I wandered around Changtan Ancient Town. But we wandered around for a long time, but found nothing.
Unknowingly, Yi Ba and I walked to the door of the fortune-telling shop.
“Do you need a fortune telling?” Ye Zitan, who was sitting in the shop, greeted Yi Ba and me.
“Okay!”
Ye Zitan even offered to tell my fortune. No matter what, I can't refuse his kindness! After saying this, I entered the store.
“Judging from your appearance, you are here to find relatives in Changtan Ancient Town this time, right?” Ye Zitan asked me.
Looking for relatives? I'm here to look for my master's wife. It's not wrong to say that I'm looking for a relative.
"Yeah!" I nodded, and then looked at Ye Zitan, wanting to see what he would say next.
"The one you are looking for is no longer alive." Ye Zitan paused and said: "There is a Jinshan Mountain to the west of the ancient town. There is a wild fruit forest over there. In the fruit forest, there are only two Planting fruit trees, one is a peach tree, and the other is a plum tree. The peach trees and plum trees there are a bit strange, they always bloom at night and fade during the day!”
Flowers bloom at night and fade during the day? Those peach trees and plum trees are really strange! Listening to Ye Zitan's description, the place should be very consistent with the place where the master's wife's grave is located according to my divination.
"Thank you, sir!" Since I didn't bring a red envelope, I took six hundred yuan out of my pocket and handed it to Ye Zitan.
Zi Zitan nodded, accepted the money, and then said: "Go quickly! Although Jinshan is not high, the mountain road is still a bit difficult to walk. Go at night and return at night. If it is dawn, I can’t come back.”
After saying goodbye to Ye Zitan, Yi Ba and I quickly drove the broken bread and headed to the west of the ancient town. Jinshan is somewhat famous in the ancient town of Changtan. Even the elderly know the location. Yi Ba and I asked questions as we walked. In less than half an hour, we drove the broken bread to the foot of Jinshan Mountain.
“This Jinshan Mountain does not look high!” I looked up and visually estimated that the mountain’s altitude was only seven or eight hundred meters at most. Even if you climb a hill like this slowly, you can reach the top in two or three hours at most.
"The mountain is not high, and it is difficult to climb if there is evil!" Yi Ba glanced at Jinshan and said to me.
"I look normal! I don't see anything evil!" I looked at Yi Ba with some confusion.
"If there is any evil, let's go into the mountain and take a look." Yi Ba said.
Jinshan Mountain is not high, and the mountain road is not steep. But after going up the mountain, I felt that the mountain was a bit panicky. There are also a lot of weeds growing on the mountain road. It seems that no one usually walks there.
“It’s just a barren mountain, and I have the nerve to call it Jinshan. I originally thought the scenery on this mountain would be very good!” After climbing for about half an hour, I said this with emotion.
"The current scenery is indeed not very good, but the name Jinshan should not have been acquired now." Yi Ba said.
"Before going up the mountain, didn't you say that Jinshan Mountain is very evil? We are almost halfway up the mountain, and we don't seem to have encountered anything evil?" I asked Yi Ba.
“The good stuff usually comes later.” Yi Ba still looked cautious.
Yi Ba and I have climbed to the top of the mountain, but we still haven’t encountered any problems. After climbing over the mountain, we came to a fruit forest. The orchard is full of peach and plum trees, and the peach and plum blossoms on the trees are in bloom. Although it is a little dark at night, you can still see its beauty through the moonlight.
This fruit forest is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. The water next to it is naturally the Wujiang River.
"It's so beautiful!" I exclaimed after looking at the scenery in front of me.
“It’s quite beautiful.” Yi Ba looked around and said, “Why is there not a single grave in this orchard?”
“Could it be a tree burial? Every fruit tree here is a grave." I expressed my guess.
"Tree burial?"
Yi Ba took out the Dinglong Pan and measured it there. The tomb thing has a somewhat sinister air to it. If it is a tree burial as I said, the Dinglong Pan should have some reaction.
It moved, and as soon as the fixed dragon plate came close to the tree trunk, the pointer started spinning rapidly. After taking it a little further, the speed of the pointer obviously slowed down a lot.
“It looks like it’s really a tree burial!” Yi Ba gave me a thumbs up and said, “Brother Chu Yi, how did you see that?”
“It’s not about looking. It’s a guess,” I said.
Yi Ba took the Dinglong Plate and measured the nearby fruit trees one by one. No matter which tree it is, as long as the fixing dragon plate is close to it, the pointer will rotate very fast.
“There are at least thousands of peach and plum trees here. If each tree is a tomb, wouldn’t it mean there are thousands of tombs? Even if Master’s wife’s grave is really among them, It’s also very difficult to find!” I said.
"Why don't you shout!" Yi Ba suggested to me.
"Shouting? Is this useful?" I looked at Yi Ba with some uncertainty.
“Although you have never met your mistress, she is still your mistress no matter what!” Yi Ba frowned and said, “There are so many fruit trees here, and this is the only way to use them. I tried the stupidest way. It depends on luck whether I can call out your wife.”
“Master’s wife!”
I was walking in the orchard. The voice shouted there. But what is depressing is that no one answered me even after I shouted for a long time.
"We came here in a hurry tonight and didn't prepare anything." After seeing that I yelled for a long time without any effect, Yi Ba stopped me and said, "How about we go back first, and after we are ready tomorrow night, Come here again."
"Okay!" I nodded and agreed to Yi Ba's suggestion. To summon spirits, you need to make summoning flags and other tools. Without those tools, it is indeed very difficult to succeed just by shouting at the top of your lungs.
While walking outside the orchard, Yi Ba and I walked for a while, only to find that we were still spinning in circles.
"This fruit forest is still a formation." Yi Ba took out the Dinglong Pan and started to read there.
After spinning for a while, the pointer on the fixed dragon plate slowly stopped. But the direction of the pointer makes me feel a little strange.
The pointer did not point outward, but pointed deep into the orchard.
"It turns out that the Shengmen is inside, and we walked in the wrong direction. No wonder we couldn't get out after walking for a long time." Yi Ba said.
Yi Ba led the way. We were obviously going deep into the orchard. Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, he actually walked out of the orchard.
"What formation was that just now?" I asked Yi Ba.
"I didn't see it either, but luckily we have this fixed dragon disk, otherwise we would never be able to get out." Yi Ba said with a look of fear.
After returning to the inn in Changtan Ancient Town, because we were a little tired, Yi Ba and I simply washed ourselves and went to bed. Early the next morning, Yi Ba went to buy some talisman paper, cinnabar, incense paper money and other things, and worked in the inn room all day. He didn't finish until evening.
"Do you think it is necessary for us to go to Ye Zitan's place again? Changtan Ancient Town is his territory after all, and he knows this area quite well." Yi Ba said.
"Yes!" I nodded and said: "It's still early anyway, so it's really a good choice to go to his place to find out more about the situation."
"It's not appropriate. Chi, let’s go there now!” Yi Ba said.
I went to get an envelope, put 800 yuan in it, put it in my pocket, and went to the fortune-telling shop with Yi Ba.
"You two, why are you here again?" As soon as he saw Yi Ba and I, Ye Zitan greeted us with a smile.
"We want to ask you, old gentleman, for a fortune telling." I replied politely to Ye Zitan. "I have already settled everything for you yesterday. What you want to calculate today, I can't do it, and I don't dare to do it either." Before I even opened my mouth, Ye Zitan rejected me directly.
