Simultaneous time travel starts from the flower age

Chapter 185 Fishbone Temple!
However, Zhang Fan was unable to sing the song in the end.

It was a waste of time that he spent a long time thinking about whether there was anything suitable for the occasion.

Because at this moment Hu Bayi, who was walking in front, had climbed over the hill in front of him.

This hillside is considered to be one of the higher terrains around.

As soon as he reached the top, Hu Bayi stopped and looked into the distance. He instantly discovered that a valley not far away was somewhat different from the others.

After a closer look, I saw that there was indeed a dilapidated temple in the middle of the valley. I looked around and it should be there.

Shirley Yang, who was following behind him, saw him stop and asked behind him, "What's wrong, Hu Bayi, did you find anything?"

"Staff Officer Yang, look over there!" Hu Bayi said and pointed in the direction of the dilapidated temple.

Shirley Yang took out the map and compared it.

Hu Bayi approached Shirley Yang and asked, "How is Staff Officer Yang, is he there?"

Shirley Yang nodded at Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi turned around and shouted to Zhang Fan and the others who were still in the middle of the slope: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Bao, Fatty! Come up quickly, I see it!"

It was hard to hear what Hu Bayi was shouting because of the howling wind. Wang Kaixuan opened his mouth wide and shouted, "Old Hu! What did you say? We're here!"

Hu Bayi guessed that he didn't hear Wang Kaixuan's voice, he just kept waving at them.

Seeing that they had finally arrived, Wang Kaixuan also walked a few steps to Zhang Fan and A Bao and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Bao! Let's stop singing, Lao Hu said it's right up there!"

Zhang Fan nodded, too lazy to ask Wang Kaixuan to correct him. The three of them followed, one in front, one behind, and one in the middle, and then went up the hillside.

Wang Kaixuan looked around, but there was nothing!

He immediately patted Hu Bayi on the shoulder and asked, "Didn't Old Hu tell you about it? Where is it?"

"Everyone, take a look, is there a temple over there?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Fishbone Temple."

Hu Bayi pointed at the deep valley and turned back to speak to the few people.

Wang Kaixuan opened his mouth wide in the direction of Hu Bayi's finger, "Old Hu! Are you sure? It's still that far? Don't expect us to find out it's not there when we get there!"

Hu Bayi patted Wang Kaixuan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Shirley Yang has checked the map, you can rest assured!"

Wang Kaixuan stretched out his hand and circled his forehead, asking, "How are we going to get through this?"

It is no wonder that Wang Kaixuan would ask this question. After all, Longling is, in a broad sense, the remnant of the Qinling Mountains. In a narrow sense, it is actually just a stretch of earthen hills.

There are mounds next to each other, with huge differences in height. The mounds have been cut into pieces by rain and strong winds, with countless deep grooves. In some places, there is an earth shell on the outside, but it breaks when stepped on, and there are hollow holes inside.

The straight-line distance between the two hills seems very close, but it takes half a day to walk from one side to the other.

And what is the area they are currently in?

The residents of Gulan County have a very vivid nickname for the area where Zhang Fan and his group live - Panshepo!

Zhang Fan recalled that in the original novel, the people who came here were Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Da Jin Ya. At that time, they settled in a small village at the foot of Longling Mountain. There were about twenty households in this village.

However, Zhang Fan remembered that the book said that the villagers said there were no ancient tombs from the Tang Dynasty on Panshepo. They only heard the older generation mention that there was a large tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and that the tomb was severely haunted. Even in broad daylight, some people encountered ghost-built walls on the slope and got lost on the slope at the bottom of the ditch. Those who were lucky enough could be rescued, but those who were unlucky were trapped to death.

The local people call this area "Panshe", which means the roads are complicated and it is easy to get lost. The Longling Labyrinth refers to the caves in the mountains, which are crisscrossed and form a natural maze.

As for the old site of the Fishbone Temple, it does still exist, but it has been abandoned for decades. There is a deep ditch after leaving the village and turning two ridges. The Fishbone Temple is at the end of the ditch. When the temple was built, the merchant who paid for it said that it was a good feng shui location and that building a Dragon King Temple would ensure good weather and good harvests.

Unexpectedly, after the temple was built, nothing changed. When God wanted it to rain, it rained. When God didn't want it to rain, there would be drought for a few years. Burning incense and offering sacrifices were useless, so the temple was no longer popular and few people went there anymore.

Hu Bayi heard Wang Kaixuan's question and saw that the sun was already overhead. It was time for lunch, so he asked Zhang Fan, "Mr. Zhang! Do you think we should find a place to rest and have some lunch, or continue on?"

Zhang Fan clearly noticed that after Hu Bayi said the words "make some lunch", Wang Kaixuan tried hard to spit a few times, and then said with a smile, "Let's find a place sheltered from the wind to rest for a while!"

Hu Bayi glared at Wang Kaixuan unhappily, then said yes, turned around, looked around, picked an address, and turned back to Zhang Fan and said, "Mr. Zhang, there is a sheltered place ahead, not far away, let's go there!"

The group walked for another ten minutes before arriving at the place Hu Bayi mentioned. There was no one around. Zhang Fan waved his hand and a pile of food and water appeared on the ground. "Let's have a simple lunch. Bring two more bottles of water with you!"

After that, they started eating to replenish their energy.

Zhang Fan walked to the edge of the cliff. In his previous life, apart from the scenery of Yuzhou, Zhang Fan had been running around the coastal northeast. In this life, apart from the Jiangnan water town, he also went to the Linhaixueyuan and Big Brother. This was the first time for him to visit the Loess Plateau!
You must appreciate it carefully!

Although this is not the Loess Plateau, due to the influence of the Yellow River flood, there is a large amount of yellow hard mud on the surface. The wind is the Creator's chisel, cutting and carving the originally rolling mountains, forming countless gullies and wind tunnels. The gullies in some places are frighteningly deep.

The natural environment here is harsh, the land is vast and sparsely populated. The wind blows through the ravine, making a whining sound like a ghost wailing. The mountain ridges are full of large and small caves, which are bottomless. From a distance, they look like hillsides. Covered with black spots.

After they finished their meal, they walked for nearly three more hours and finally found the Fishbone Temple in a ravine.

It takes quite a while to walk around the Fishbone Temple as it is walking in!
This temple is even more dilapidated than Zhang Fan had imagined. Compared to this one, the one in the TV series is like a mansion.

This dilapidated temple is almost falling apart.

There is only one hall in the Fishbone Temple, and there is no distinction between the front and back halls, the east and west wings. The temple door has long been gone, but we finally saw the skull of the Iron-headed Dragon King Fish, and the fish's mouth is the temple door.

Wang Kaixuan knocked on the bone with an engineering shovel, and it made a clanging sound. The bone was really hard.

A Bao also learned to knock on the objects with his fingers. This action made Wang Kaixuan, who was standing by, terrified. He was afraid that A Bao might have accidentally brought in some internal energy, and if he broke the objects, he wouldn't be able to sell them for a good price!
He acted like a money-grubber and wouldn't let Po get anything done. He would go wherever Po went, which made Po so annoyed that he just followed Hu Bayi!

Hu Bayi looked at the fish bones carefully and found that this fish skull was completely different from ordinary fish bones. Although it had no skin and flesh, it still looked hideous and ugly.

This fish was the Iron Head Dragon King. After looking at it for a while, he became bored. After all, he said that he saw Zhang Fan collect many corpses of Iron Head Dragon Kings on the boat before.

I walked around the temple again.

The clay statue of the Dragon King in the temple had long disappeared, and the beams on the ground were covered with dust and cobwebs. However, inside, it was impossible to tell that the beams were made of fish bones. It was estimated that all the fish bones were sealed in the bricks and tiles.

The wall had not completely peeled off, and one could barely make out the four large characters "good weather and good harvests" on it. There were several nests of little mice on the ground, and they ran around in panic when they saw someone coming in.

However, after a few people took a look around, they came out of the Fishbone Temple. They did not dare to stay in the temple for too long. This dilapidated temple might collapse at any time, and a strong wind might even blow off the roof.

Hu Bayi took a look at the topography of the Fishbone Temple in the ravine, and smiled at Zhang Fan, "Mr. Zhang, if the location of the Fishbone Temple is a good feng shui location, I will tear out my copy of The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art and burn it in the fire when I get back."

After hearing this, Abao felt that the opportunity to learn had come, and he quickly replied, "Mr. Hu, what's the explanation here?"

Wang Kaixuan, however, had a different opinion. He looked around and said, "This place is pretty good! The wind is blowing so loudly, it has the right feng shui wind, but... it's just a little lacking in water. With a small river, it's almost a Feng Shui treasure land."

Hu Bayi nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Bao, you don't know. The place where a temple is built is different from that of a house or a tomb. A temple is to benefit the people, and it cannot be built anywhere. The place where a temple is built must be a place with clear stars and bright mountains. Apart from this fish bone temple, have you ever seen a temple in a ditch? Even a land temple cannot be built in such a deep ditch. As the saying goes: If there is something hidden in the valley, don't penetrate it. If you penetrate it, you will not be able to stand in the valley."

A Bao's eyes sparkled with a thirst for knowledge. He opened his mouth and asked, "Master Hu, what did you mean by the last sentence you just said? Did you mean that building a temple in the valley is not good?"

Zhang Fan decided that it was a good thing that Abao was interested in it. After learning more, he would be able to choose a better place to bury Xuezhi.

Hu Bayi nodded and said, "Yes, you see these gullies, they are like dragons and snakes, but the surrounding mountains are barren, without tents and protection, they are useless, and they are deep in the mountains, and the Yin energy is heavy. If the vegetation on these mountains is dense, it would be a little better, that is, 'the fairy belt is flying in the tent, and the hidden protection is deep and prosperous'. According to the principles of ancient Chinese Feng Shui, this broken gully is not suitable for building a temple, let alone burying people, so I concluded that there is something wrong with the construction of this temple, and it must be used by tomb raiders to cover up tomb robbing. Today, it is just as I expected."

Wang Kaixuan was a little confused after hearing this. "If it's to hide the truth, there's no need to mobilize so many people. I think a straw hut will be enough. Besides, there are no people in this ditch. At most, there will be a shepherd occasionally. I heard from the villagers that after this ridge is the Dragon Ridge Cave. It's very evil and you can't go there normally, so there probably aren't many people herding sheep here."

Hu Bayi nodded and said, "I think it's mainly to win the trust of the locals. If outsiders pay for the construction of the Dragon King Temple and ensure the good weather and peace, the locals won't be suspicious. If they come directly to the mountain valley to build a house, won't people think that their behavior is abnormal and inexplicable? Why would they build a house in the mountain valley? This will easily arouse suspicion. It's better to say that this is a Feng Shui location and build a temple. This is more deceptive. In the past, there were people who pretended to grow crops and planted green tents before working. The purpose was to keep others from knowing. Our ancestors were smart!"

After listening to Hu Bayi's explanation, everyone agreed that it was indeed easier for outsiders to disguise themselves by building a temple in the mountains than by building a house.

But in fact, what Wang Kaixuan said is not without reason. However, we still have to go up to the ridge to see the situation of Longling before we can further judge the reason for building the temple here.

Originally, without knowing the truth, even Hu Bayi knew that the ancient tomb was not too far from the Fishbone Temple, otherwise the workload of digging a tunnel would be too huge. In this case, he was unable to take the initiative to find the tunnel and almost fell into the "man-eating pit" and lost his life!

However, the situation is different now!
After packing up, the few of them returned to the Fishbone Temple. Hu Bayi went directly to the back of the altar and knocked on it with his hand. Sure enough, the altar made a hollow echo. It should be as Blind Chen said, that behind the layer of mud on the outside is a thick layer of wooden boards.

Hu Bayi stretched out his hand, and the shadow of the "Ghost Claw of the Underworld" appeared on his hand. He raised his hand and clawed, and with a click, the mud and the wooden board shattered to the ground, revealing a hole on the back of the altar.

Wang Kaixuan smiled and said, "This is a brilliant move. With your move, Master Hu, we won't need to bring Luoyang shovels anymore. With your move, Master Hu, we can just dig into the ground. It will take about two steamed buns per kilometer. What do you think, Chief of Staff Yang?"

After hearing this, several people smiled.

Hu Bayi didn't look happy with Wang Kaixuan after hearing this. Being a tomb robber was not enough. Did they want him to be a mole or a pangolin?
He immediately glared at Wang Kaixuan, who dodged but still smiled.

Hu Bayi ignored this fool and said to Zhang Fan, "Mr. Zhang, let's go down now!"

Zhang Fan nodded, "Of course! We are here now!"

Hu Bayi immediately made arrangements upon seeing this, "Staff Officer Yang, you and I will go ahead, and Chief Bao, please go with Fatty to hold the fort!"

Everyone nodded, and Hu Bayi took the lead and went into the cave, followed by Shirly Yang. As for Zhang Fan?

As for the leader, even though everyone knows he is the strongest, he still needs to be protected in the middle, to show respect!
Hu Bayi walked in the front, holding a lit candle in his hand, in the same arrangement as before. A Bao followed at the end, and the five of them crawled slowly forward.

There were wooden frames fixed at intervals in the tunnel. Although there was no need to worry about collapse, it was dark and depressing. After crawling forward for a while, Hu Bayi suddenly felt a stinging in his eyes. It was because the candle was extinguished and he was smoked by the smoke!
