Chapter 238: Thousand-year-old Hanging Coffin in Wushan Coffin Gorge
The group broke through the morning fog.
The sound of horseshoes neighing echoed among the green mountains.
This is tantamount to telling others.
Next he was no longer in the village.
Even a few confidants will leave with him.
But...
Even so.
Chen Yulou has never thought of hiding his itinerary, such as setting off at starry night, or leaving in batches.
It’s not that I’m conceited.
It is purely the confidence of the century-old victorious mountain.
After all, the bloody fire in Hubi Village and Huodong Temple has not yet dissipated.
The gold and silver treasures accumulated by the Chen family for generations are all in the village. Anyone who has the courage can take them.
Of course there is no chance.
It depends on their fate.
Originally there were a few annoying flies on the Xiangyin boundary.
But...
Nowadays, there are people from Changsheng Mountain everywhere in Sanxiang and Four Rivers.
As long as you don’t live too long or have a brain disorder, you probably won’t be stupid enough to take advantage of the Chen family.
The most important thing is.
Chenjiazhuang seems to be just a small town.
But the Chen family was from Xiling, and what they were best at was weapons. No one could imagine how many killing moves were hidden in the village, which only covered an area of thirty acres.
Not to mention.
Chenjiazhuang and Changsheng Mountain face each other from a distance, forming horns with each other.
Even if it is a heavily armed force, it must remain alive.
As for the bandits.
Changsheng Mountain is the ancestor of green forests in the world.
No matter there are more people, guns or means, there are not many in the entire Republic of China.
I recall that day when I mentioned to Uncle Yu and his elders that we wanted to travel to the Kunlun Mountains.
The expressions of Uncle Seventh and Uncle Thirteen.
Chen Yulou even suspected that these old guys were eager for someone to attack.
After all, I have been raised in Zhuangzi for so many years.
My fists and feet have been itching for a long time.
If there is someone who is not afraid of death, he can loosen his bones.
But...
Uncle Yu is here.
Chen Yulou is not worried about what traps they will bring out.
No matter how notorious those people are in the world.
You have to be honest when you are in front of Uncle Yu.
After all, he brought it out with his own hands, how could he dare to mess around?
"Shopkeeper, why don't you go to Yiling via the Yuanjiang River this time?"
Because it's winter, Miss Hong is wearing a cloak, a nine-section whip tied around her waist, and a cloak on her head. It looks even more majestic.
Riding a bay-red horse, he rushed outside Chen Yulou.
Looking at the mountain road ahead, thinking thoughtfully.
Going further west, you will find the Shiwanshan Mountains in western Hunan. Generally speaking, there are basically many waterways from Xiangyin to Sichuan and Chongqing.
Go north along the Yuan River to Yiling, go down the Yangtze River at the transition point and go straight to Wushan, and then go to the border of Shaanxi and Qin.
“The detour is too far and will delay the trip.”
Chen Yulou shook his head.
Although there are many of them now, they are not like the time they went to southern Yunnan a few months ago, when they specially brought a large amount of food and equipment.
Zhelong Mountain is located in a remote area with continuous mountains.
Without a mountain ladder, it would be almost impossible to move forward once you get off the ladder.
In addition, it is the first time to travel far.
Of course there is another reason.
Insect Valley is an insurmountable difficulty for him.
That’s why I made all preparations and didn’t dare to miss anything.
But this time it was different. Apart from windy sand, there were no vast mountains and forests in the desert, so the mountain ladder had no use. Food and water could be supplied along the way.
At least before entering southern Xinjiang.
There is no need to consider the problem of lack of food and clothing.
Excluding necessities, such as the rarest herbs, according to his plan, he traveled as lightly as possible in the early stage.
We really have to follow the red girl’s route.
Just arriving in Sichuan and Chongqing would take twice as long.
Not to mention the thousands of miles ahead.
"But..."
Miss Hong raised her head and looked at the endless mountains in the distance.
A trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
The Laoxiong Mountains, Wuling Mountains and Xuefeng Mountains in western Hunan are like a tent, stretching between Sichuan and Hunan.
If you pass across.
Looking at the map, it can indeed save a lot of time.
But there are constant dangers, and most of these places are still uncivilized barbarian lands.
It has been blocked from the outside world for generations.
Live a life of isolation.
Wanting to take advantage of the road is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Why, we have a team of nearly three hundred people, are we still worried that someone will rob us?"
Seeing that she could not hide her worry, Chen Yulou joked with a smile.
Of course he knew the difficulty of crossing the deep mountains of western Hunan, but he naturally had the confidence to do so.
Except for the map.
And...
While speaking, he glanced at the top of his head from the corner of his eye.
In the clouds and mist, there was an invisible shadow passing by.
Luofu!
Inspired by what I got from Wuluo in Maluzhai that day.
A sea green can still patrol the sky.
Avoid danger in advance.
Luofu, who has become a great demon, has demonic power as majestic as the tide. He can easily fly hundreds of feet into the sky. He is also connected with his mind and can communicate with each other with just one thought.
Even, with the help of spiritual seeds.
It's like having a second pair of eyes.
The Sky Eye can overlook dozens of miles in radius.
Even if the deep mountains of western Hunan are filled with mountains of swords and seas of fire, he is confident that he can pass through safely.
“The shopkeeper is joking again.”
Miss Hong stretched out her hand to tuck her long hair hanging down from her temples, and smiled helplessly.
"Those who dare to rob Changsheng Mountain Road are probably not even born yet."
Hearing this, Chen Yulou chuckled, "In that case, please give the instructions to Hong Gu, so that the brothers can cheer up and travel under the stars. , we will arrive in Wushan in three to five days at most.”
“Yes”
Miss Hong nodded.
Holding the reins in hand, he turned the horse's head, patted the horse's back, and the cloak floated like fire. Not long after, a crisp but sharp voice resounded through the mountains and forests.
"Brother Chen..."
"Wushan?!"
I heard this place name.
Partridge Whistle, who had never spoken a word, could not help but light up his eyes.
Before heading to Kuanglu Mountain that day, he remembered that Chen Yulou had told him that the Feng family from Guanshan had lived in Wushan Coffin Gorge for generations, and according to Old Shen, the person they were looking for was now there. He became a monk in Qingcheng Mountain.
There are many roads from Xiangyin to the Sichuan-Shaanxi border.
But he chose Yuzhou.
In addition, Yuzhou and Yizhou are very close to each other.
Qingcheng Mountain is right between the two states.
All of this makes Partridge Whistle think a lot. Will Chen Yulou have to take a detour to Coffin Gorge or Qingcheng Mountain during this trip?
"No rush."
Seeing his eyes showing surprise.
There was a bit of hesitation again.
Chen Yulou immediately understood, but he just waved his hand.
“Since the dragon bone cipher text was cracked by Master Liao Chen, why bother looking for him again?”
"But..."
After taking a breath, Chen Yulou continued.
"If you pass Qingcheng Mountain on your return journey, you can go to Tianshi Cave to see that person."
According to the timeline.
There are still several years before Feng Sibei finds the entrance to Dixian Village and finally sits in it.
Even though this trip to Kunlun Mountain will last for a year and a half.
It will not delay Dixian Village Dazang.
“That’s fine.”
Partridge Whistle was slightly startled.
This is slightly different from what he had in mind.
However, as long as it doesn't delay his schedule, it doesn't matter to him whether he goes or not.
……
In a blink of an eye.
Two days have passed.
The group finally crossed the vast mountains.
Arrive at Fengdu Ancient City. That's right, it's the place where the Fengdu Underworld is rumored to be.
But they didn’t come to find out.
Instead, we passed through the dock outside Fengdu City, hired two large ships, and headed west and south along the vast waters of the Yangtze River.
This day.
The sky is clear and the sky is clear.
Two big boats, one behind the other, were traveling along the water. The river stretched as far as the eye could see, with dangerous cliffs and steep peaks on both sides of the river. From time to time, the screams of apes could be heard.
However.
Have previous experience of ferrying across the Nanpan River.
Chen Yulou and others took the opportunity to meditate in the cabin, or simply sleep and rest.
Only those young people who were traveling for the first time were full of curiosity about everything. They gathered on the deck in twos and threes, either sitting on the ground or leaning against the side of the ship to look around.
“Ahead is the Bingshu Baojian Gorge.”
“The rapids are dangerous, and there are many reefs and strange rocks under the water. You’d better go back to the cabin and wait.”
Many people on the deck came from the north to the south to avoid disaster.
Finally, the grass falls on Changsheng Mountain.
I have never seen such a wonderful sight in my life.
I have long heard that Baojian Gorge is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, and the scenery is even more unique.
That’s why I came up to the deck from the cabin early, just to have a quick look.
Unexpectedly, before arriving at Bingshu Gorge, the head of the boat suddenly came up in a hurry, speaking in a Sichuan accent, and kept talking to everyone.
“Don’t worry, the leader of the boat. We brothers grew up by the water. I dare not say anything else, but we still have water-based courage.”
"That's right, just keep your heart in your belly."
Although the bow of the boat points out the dangers down the river.
But inside and outside the words, it seems that they are driving people away.
Those guys had finally arrived, so how could they be scared away by a few words? They immediately said nonchalantly.
“Hey...”
I saw a bunch of young people who were desperate.
The leader of the boat is also in a hurry.
They have lived on the river for generations, and there are many taboos about boating on the water.
What's more, the place above the Bingshu Baojian Gorge ahead is even more eerie.
Whenever he takes people passing by, he will inform them in advance.
Then burn a stick of incense, say goodbye, and you can live in peace.
But he really couldn't figure out the origins of the group of people on the boat. There were two to three hundred people, all riding horses. Not to mention their impressive momentum, there were also many vicious people.
To be able to have such power these days.
Either a warlord or a bandit.
No matter what kind of situation, they are not the ones that boat runners can afford to offend.
But good words and persuasion didn't work at the moment. The boat swallowed his head and could only tell the truth.
“Evil?”
“Weird?!”
Several young people heard the words in his mouth.
First they looked at each other, and then couldn't help but chuckle.
"Captain of the boat, you look down on us too much. Not to mention evil spirits, you just bumped into ghosts and gods during the day..."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. There are gods three feet above your head. How can you talk nonsense? If you talk nonsense, if you offend the ghosts and gods, I am afraid that all of us on this ship will suffer."
Seeing their disdain, they even used ghosts and gods in their words.
The captain of the boat was immediately frightened.
Waving his hands repeatedly, he interrupted.
While speaking, he did not forget to clasp his hands, close his eyes and bow to the surroundings to worship.
“What’s going on?”
Just when a group of people were in a stalemate.
A calm voice came from behind.
With that sound, the head of the boat was immediately keenly aware that the people who had been carefree just now suddenly became silent, with their heads lowered, and their expressions were full of anxiety and uneasiness.
He has been boating all year round and has met many different kinds of people.
I don’t know where this is going.
It can make them change like this.
The person coming here must be in a high position.
Swallowing secretly, the head of the boat turned around and realized that there was more than one person coming.
There were six or seven people.
There is a person in the front, wearing a long gown, who looks like a teacher.
But the temperament revealed in every move.
But he is unspeakably domineering.
"Sir..., the Bingshu Gorge is just ahead. Our boat crew has some taboos, so I want you all to go back to the cabin first and then come up again."
Just a glance.
The leader of the boat didn’t dare to look too much and explained in a low voice.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yulou smiled.
"Bingshu Gorge, Qutang Gorge, and Wushan Gorge all have hanging coffins. Is this the taboo mentioned by the boat leader?"
"This..."
Seeing him tell the truth.
The head of the boat was immediately stunned, with a face full of astonishment.
“If it’s a hanging coffin, don’t worry about the head of the ship, we’ll just take a look and we won’t miss the big deal.”
Three Gorges Hanging Coffin.
How could Chen Yulou not know?
After all, that was where the Guanshan lineage started.
"This...then, sir, please be restrained. When you pass through the coffin gorge, you must not make any noise, so as not to disturb the ghosts and gods in the hanging coffin."
The boat's head hesitated left and right. .
Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
First, the origins of this group of people are unknown.
In addition, they spend a lot of money.
Just by chartering a boat from Fengdu City to Yuzhou, I was given a full twenty yuan of silver.
Normally, he might not be able to earn so much in one or two years.
Whether it is a bandit or a warlord, if you spend money, you are the God of Wealth.
“Don’t worry!”
Chen Yulou nodded.
Indicated to him to go ahead and sail the boat.
As soon as the boat took off, several of the guys thought they had gotten into trouble. They lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, not daring to breathe.
"Okay, nothing happened."
Chen Yulou looked amused and waved his hands.
Many of them are new faces, either they have only been on the mountain in the past two years, or they have not been able to get ahead in the past.
"Thank you, boss."
When I heard this.
A few young people were relieved and ran behind them, no longer daring to talk nonsense.
On the contrary, it was the Partridge Sentries who followed Chen Yulou up to the deck.
Looking thoughtfully between the cliffs on both sides.
It didn’t take much time.
As the ship passed through the rapids, dangerous shoals and dark canyons with hidden reef formations, everyone was still marveling at the natural chasm of the Yangtze River. In the blink of an eye, the sun shone from over the cliff ahead.
Against the light.
Coffins one after another burst into everyone's sight.
On the hundred-foot cliff, those coffins were densely packed and countless, but they were shaped like ships, surrounded by misty clouds and mist, and they looked like they were floating in the Milky Way.
“My God, it’s really a hanging coffin.”
“Shhh…I forgot what the captain said just now.”
“Oh, yes, be quiet.”< br>
Even though everyone on the deck ate the food of the dead and saw countless coffins, they were still shocked when they saw this scene with their own eyes.
Even the three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle.
This is the first time I have seen this strange burial method.
Cave burial, water burial, cremation, and even sky burial are all not surprising to them.
But of those coffins, the short ones were dozens of meters away from the river, and the high ones were even more than three hundred meters away.
For a while, they couldn't even guess how to put it on hold.
"Wait..."
Partridge Whistle frowned.
Something suddenly came to mind.
Subconsciously, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Yulou in front of him.
"Brother Chen, is this the Coffin Gorge of the Guanshan line, where people search for rare artifacts from the Book of Heaven?"
Although the Taoist monks who moved mountains were not killed by the Guanshan Taibao like the three sects of Mofaqiu and Xiling, he did not have much favorable impressions of people from that lineage.
However.
The basic understanding is still there.
Moreover, he vaguely remembered Chen Yulou once mentioned it.
“Not bad.”
"Going into the Coffin Gorge, it connects to the Daning River. There is an ancient town called Qingxi next to it. Thousands of years ago, the Feng family was a wealthy family here. With the help of the strange artifact in the hanging coffin, it has been prosperous since then."
Chen Yulou put his hands behind his hands and spoke calmly.
It seems to be just an endorsement.
But a few simple words made Partridge Whistle greatly shocked.
In the records of the Bishan lineage.
Yu Guanshan Taibao has only a few words of introduction.
Receive the title of the emperor, be awarded gold medals, build the imperial mausoleum, and suppress the four factions!
