Unparalleled Treasures

Chapter 708 Is there a place for it?

But if it was worth the money, Zhang Can originally wanted old man Li to send the aunt back to the room and continue to rest, but the old lady kept shaking her head and said vaguely that she hadn't sat so comfortably for a long time, so she was asked to sit more After a while, he raised his hand while speaking, pointed to Zhang Can, Ye Zi and Huang Yu, saying that it would be against etiquette to go to lie down on his own with a benefactor present.

Seeing that the old lady was able to raise her hand, Old Man Li and Mrs. He Hua were naturally very grateful.

Old man Li even ran back to the room, and after a while he took out a cloth bag, opened the cloth bag that had faded into a pale red color, and several people saw that there was a stack of broken banknotes inside, the largest denomination was Two cents, the rest, ten cents, even five cents, most of the edges of these change notes have been frayed.

Zhang Can roughly estimated that there might be a total of ten yuan.

Now, the banknotes circulating in the market are basically invisible, but compared with those collectible coins, these coins are worthless.

Old man Li was holding the stack of receipts, crying, "Brother, this is what my wife and I have accumulated over the past few years. I originally wanted to save it for a little money, but now, there is no need for it. Brother, please don't worry about it." It’s too little, it’s the only cash in our family.”

Hearing what the old man said, Zhang Can couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. The so-called "mouth money" refers to the copper coins that people put in their mouths after death. Not many people do this now, but this is just the old man. One of the meanings is that the money is important to him.

Zhang Can believes that the ten or so yuan is definitely worth the one billion or more in his hand.

This gift was too heavy, even though it was only ten dollars in change.

Zhang Can naturally wouldn't accept it, but it was a question in his heart, and he asked him very seriously.

Zhang Can is the great benefactor of old man Li and Mrs. He Hua's family. Naturally, Mrs. He Hua and Mrs. Li would not hide the questions he wanted to ask, not to mention that what he asked was related to the old lady's condition.

"This matter, we have to start with the legend of our place," said old man Li, who had just recovered from a serious illness. Although Zhang Can did not make him recover [-]% of the time, it was only relatively speaking. Compared with before, even Half an hour ago, old man Li felt like a different person, and his spirit was also very good, but he felt a little hungry.

Speaking of the legend of this place, old man Li is more energetic, the key is that this is what the benefactor wants to ask.

"I only heard it from my father. It is said that this place, like a place hundreds of kilometers away, is a place where the gods have been. , and moved to live elsewhere, the reason is that the people here don’t respect the gods much..."

Hundreds of kilometers away from here, there are gods lived there, and there are strange phenomena. It can't be the stone forest that Yang Hao and Na Duo walked through. Could it be that this is the location of another five-color god stone that Yang Hao said!Zhang Can's breathing became a little short.

"However, I heard from the elders that in order to punish those who disrespected him, the gods specially placed a treasure on Luoxia Mountain here to prevent those who want to steal his things."

Zhang Can asked curiously: "How far is this Luoxia Mountain from here? Is Luoxia Mountain big?"

"It's not far away. After leaving the village, less than two kilometers to the north is the foot of Luoxia Mountain. It's not big. It's more than ten kilometers around. The birth control drug called 'Ghost Lotus Seed', whichever pregnant woman has to go to the mountains to pick some in advance, for emergency use..."

"You know, people with good conditions now go to the hospital to give birth, but in the past, and now our families are not well-off, so we can only rely on these old folk prescriptions to survive."

"However, there are not a few people who have been to the mountain for so many years. Not only have they never seen a place where gods live, but also, after returning, something happened..."

"My old lady suffered from this strange disease, that is, a few years ago, she went to Luoxia Mountain to pick 'ghost lotus seeds' for Hu Manzi's daughter. When I think about it later, she came back from picking the medicine that day, and it was a little strange. , Later, she seemed to catch a cold, and had a high fever, and she was muttering about something that she saw a god in the mountains..."

"At that time, Hu Manzi's daughter gave the old woman five yuan, which was regarded as supplementary medicine money. The old woman took the five yuan and went to the town to get some medicine. After returning home and taking the medicine, she felt better. At that time, the old woman's health was better than mine, and if she could bear serious illnesses and minor illnesses, she could just endure them, and the family really didn't have much money."

"Later, the old woman told me that she found a place that no one had ever been to. In that place, 'ghost lotus seeds' were everywhere, quite a bit..."

"Our ancestors have been picking this kind of 'ghost lotus seeds' on this mountain for generations. This thing is rare. Even if you pay a high price, you may not be able to buy it. If it is like the old woman said, there is such a place, it is everywhere, then It is also a fortune..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Can, Ye Zi, and Huang Yu all thought that in the final analysis, it is because of money that people die for wealth and birds die for food. This is an undeniable truth through the ages.

"After the old lady got better, she discussed with me to dig up all those 'ghost lotus seeds'. Even if they only sell one for five yuan, it can be regarded as making a lot of money..."

Zhang Can was a little impatient, and asked, "Old man, have you been to that place?"

Old man Li nodded, but then shook his head again, "I don't know if I have been to that place, the weather was good that day, and I was idle at home, so the old lady went out with me..."

Huang Yu, who had been silent all this time, interjected, "Old man, you said that Luoxia Mountain is not very big, but the mountain is steep. Could it be that at such an old age, aunt can also go up to collect medicine? So, aunt is a person with martial arts skills! "

"Martial arts!" Old man Li sighed, "What kind of martial arts does she have? The old woman is from this village. She has been going around in the mountains since she was a little girl. Don't look at your aunt now. When you don't have this strange disease, you are fine. Someday she won't go wandering in the mountains."

"Oh, it turns out that the road is familiar, but she has been wandering around the mountains for so many years, how did she discover that place that no one has ever been to?" Huang Yu was very curious, and when she asked, she wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

However, Huang Yu's curiosity was exactly what Zhang Can and Ye Zi were curious about, but their mouths were not as fast as Huang Yu's.

"This is exactly what I don't understand," Old Man Li said patiently. Whenever the three benefactors asked him questions, he would always ask them, and he knew everything and said everything.

Old man Li went on to say: "That day, I followed the old woman and followed the marks left by her all the way into the mountain. There were some marks that were not clear, and the old woman re-made them on purpose. At that time, in my opinion, it was unnecessary. I know that later, it is all thanks to those re-made marks..."

Huang Yu interjected again: "So, you got lost in Luoxia Mountain? Also, isn't aunt familiar with the way? When she entered the mountain alone, she still left a mark. Could it be that she got lost too? Besides, Luoxia The mountains are less than ten square kilometers in total, even if you get lost, there is nothing terrible, right."

But Zhang Can said in his heart, if you get lost in the mountains, let alone more than ten square kilometers, in some cases, you may not be able to get out of one square kilometer. Although such cases are rare, they are by no means non-existent.

Old man Li said so, it must be that they have encountered extraordinary things, things that are beyond the scope of people's cognition, and it is not unique. I have encountered this experience several times, so I must understand it. Perhaps, this life time is not enough.

Sure enough, old man Li went on to say: "That time, I was also very strange. As I was walking, I felt that the place we were walking was completely different from the places I had been to before."

Huang Yu gave a "poof" smile, "Aunt just discovered the place, you haven't been there, of course you will feel different, it's not surprising."

Zhang Can remained calm at this time, and it was useless to be impatient. What Huang Yu asked was actually what she wanted to ask. Although Huang Yu said that she had been to the Western Heaven Kunlun with her, the most magical and dangerous thing was her. I didn't know it at all, and I didn't tell her about it.

Besides, Huang Yu may be influenced by Lao Huang, and everything may be viewed with a scientific attitude. In fact, there are many things in this world that cannot be viewed with a scientific eye. At least, there is no way to use it now. Science makes sense.

Old man Li shook his head again, he didn't feel any pain now, and seemed to enjoy shaking his head very much.

"It's not like this, I saw it, how to say it, I can't say it specifically, I can only say this, it's not our place in Luoxia Mountain," old man Li said "um", and then said: " It’s something we shouldn’t have in this place.”

Zhang Can, Ye Zi, and Huang Yu asked almost in unison: "Isn't it the place where Luoxia Mountain should be? What kind of place would it be?"

Old man Li continued to shake his head, "I remember, the day we went was in the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Most of the weeds and leaves on Luoxia Mountain were already withered and yellow. The old woman can still walk, and it won't be dark when I go to the county town one day..."

"But that day, we walked along the marks made by the old woman for more than four hours. Normally, even if we passed through Luoxia Mountain, there should be a round trip. However, when I looked back, I found that We didn't get very far at all, but at the time, I didn't notice it."

According to the walking speed of ordinary people, it should be more than ten kilometers in more than four hours, which is not a difficult task, but after walking for more than four hours, when I look back, I find that I haven’t walked far, I haven’t walked, I’m still playing.

"The marks of the old woman were kept densely, and there was only one left more than ten feet away. I still remember that there was a place. I paid attention to it. I found that between the two marks more than ten feet away, we It actually took more than half an hour..."
