After what Ge Weihan said, I became more and more curious about Cancong!
If anything he was a ruthless overlord who ruled the kingdom.
The eyes of him in the sculpture have no ambition at all. He just holds a peach blossom every day and feels sad.
If he is just an infatuated person.
But it was he who inspired the courage of the soldiers, not only defeated the Shang army, but also sealed the terrifying curse.
What kind of person is he?
I stood on the steep slope, looking at the huge word "Shu" and thinking a lot.
Yin Ling'er was worried down there and insisted on coming up to join in the fun. In desperation, Lao Jiang had no choice but to go down in person and carry the girl up with the basket on her back.
However, because it was too high, Lao Jiang almost didn't lift it up when he was performing Qing Gong. Fortunately, I had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him.
As soon as they came up, Yin Ling'er clamored for a telescope: "What kind of good thing is it that has taken away the souls of both of you?"
Ge Weihan was still there copying the graphics stroke by stroke.
From time to time, he would mutter various English words: "beautiful", "amazing", "stunning" and so on.
Yin Ling'er looked at Ge Weihan, then at me, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean? This foreigner has claws?"
Claw means 'what's wrong'. I guess she spent too much time with Ge Weihan in the past two days, which made her say some strange Sichuan dialect from time to time.
I told her that those few sentences in English all meant surprise and shock, which made Yin Linger feel even more strange.
However, at this moment, Ge Weihan suddenly shouted: "Look there! There is actually a house there."
At some point, Ge Weihan climbed to the other side of the steep slope and was observing with a telescope.
We also touched it carefully, and saw that there was a cliff winding upward under the cover of layers of leaves.
It is on that cliff that rows of small round blue houses are built!
From a distance, these small houses look like blue mushrooms growing on the rocks.
Can you imagine that scenario?
The rocks hundreds of meters high are like unsheathed swords, and the houses are misty and undulating, just surrounding the rocks and appearing and disappearing in the clouds.
"Aren't I dazzled?" I rubbed my eyes and couldn't believe the scene before me.
Yin Ling'er nodded vigorously and replied: "Brother Jinglan, your eyes are not broken, Ling'er also saw it."
It's really strange. In Qilin's files, I have seen many confidential documents about hanging coffins.
But this was the first time I saw a house built on a cliff!
The so-called hanging coffin, as the name suggests, is a coffin hanging on a cliff. The two most famous hanging coffins in China are the Longhu Mountain Hanging Coffin in Jiangxi and the Thorny Man Hanging Coffin in Xichuan.
This is because the ethnic minorities in these two places follow the custom of "not leaving the earth when they are born, and never leaving the earth after death". The meaning is: if a child is born with his feet touching the ground, he will be unlucky for life; if an old man dies, if his coffin is buried in the ground, he will never be reborn.
Therefore, when someone in the tribe dies, the tribesmen will often go to great lengths to hang the coffin on the cliff and bury it so that the soul can ascend to heaven.
But the dead are on the cliff, so they just lie down.
What should people do if they live on a cliff, eating, drinking, and loosing food?
Aren't you afraid that the house will collapse at night and the whole family will fall and be shattered to pieces?
Yin Ling'er was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide: "Brother Jinglan, my legs were weak when I walked on the bird path just now. How come there are still people living on a hundred-meter-high cliff? Are they humans or ghosts?"
At this time, Lao Jiang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "If I guessed correctly, that should be the mountain guard's house. Do you still remember the group of deer that followed us when we first entered the mountain?"
"You mean, the owner of the deer lives there?" I gasped.
That's right, according to the old hunter, apart from him, the only people living on Wawu Mountain are the mysterious mountain guards.
And they live on top of the mountain!
In other words, we are almost there.
After listening to the conversation between me and Lao Jiang, Yin Ling'er asked sarcastically: "According to your wishes, shouldn't we go to those small houses next?"
"Ling'er is so smart." Lao Jiang suddenly removed his seriousness and smiled at Yin Ling'er like a blooming old chrysanthemum.
Yin Linger was furious and sat down on the ground: "You bad uncle, you just took advantage of Master's absence to deliberately bully me."
"Let's see how I complain when I get back!"
"I'm just telling you that you hooked up with dozens, oh no, hundreds of vixens in the mountains. Let's see if Master doesn't skin you!"
Lao Jiang's smile suddenly stiffened, and I quickly stepped forward and said, "Isn't this to stop Wuxi and the others' conspiracy? If it weren't for a very important matter, I wouldn't want to climb the cliff again. Besides, aren't you curious about how they do it every day? Where do those cute little deer live? How do they usually go up and down the mountain?"
Ge Weihan didn't mind watching the excitement, so he also came to add fuel to the fire: "I also particularly want to know who are the people who have been living on Wawu Mountain for generations? Are they the gravekeepers of Cancong? Or are they the local ethnic minorities? ?”
Just when Ge Weihan and I were having a heated discussion about the importance of this discovery, Yin Ling'er was so angry that she stamped her feet on the ground, and every word seemed to spill out from between her teeth: "Brother Jinglan!"
I was so frightened that I immediately fell silent.
She glared at Ge Weihan angrily and said with a smile: "Uncle Bearded, your nose is completely healed, right?"
Upon hearing this warning, Ge Weihan quickly touched his nose and turned to flatter: "The most beautiful little girl, little princess, since there are people living there, there must be a secret safe passage up and down the mountain, don't worry. "
This was Yin Ling'er's biggest concern. She really didn't want to walk the bird path again.
After appeasing Yin Ling'er, we can finally continue on the road!
We encountered no surprises on the rest of the way.
And Ge Weihan really got it right, there is a shortcut to the house on the cliff!
It is a winding stone staircase hidden in low shrubs, winding thinly on the cliff. From a distance, it looks like a ladder to the sky in the clouds.
It should be used by mountain guards to go up and down the mountain.
There are thousands of stone steps, and they are so dense that you can't see the end. On the right is a tall and majestic mountain, and on the left is a guardrail woven with vines. Seeing this, Yin Ling'er started to yell that she couldn't leave, saying that her ankle hurt. .
I coaxed Lao Jiang for a long time and promised to treat her to chicken drumsticks for a month after I returned, and she reluctantly agreed.
But when we finished walking up the stone steps, the sky had quietly darkened...
