Chapter 895 Third Uncle

"But why?" Feng Yuan asked strangely, "Forcibly relocating a village to another place, even in ancient times, it must have been operated by extremely powerful people. But even if there is such a person, he What is the purpose, is it to plant trees here?"

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Of course not, I have figured out a little bit now. But I still need to further confirm my judgment."

"Oh, I'm so anxious, what's going on, tell me quickly." Feng Yuan looked at him and said angrily.

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "Even if this forest was not planted by Patriarch Chen Tuan, it must be related to the Taoist priests of the Lao Huashan School under his sect."

"You mean this is the forest planted by Taoist priests in Mount Hua?" Feng Yuan said in surprise, "But it's not quite right. Taoist priests are monks after all. How could they force a village to move like a local bully?"

Fan Jiannan waved his hands and said, "You're wrong. Patriarch Chen Tuan has a very high reputation. From the Five Dynasties to the early Song Dynasty, he was rewarded by the royal family many times. The Taoists at that time had unimaginable power in this generation. Besides, the entire Huashan Mountain could be said to be Their ashram. And in the era when Taoism flourished, they were greatly revered. People like Chen Tuan were even worshiped as gods. They didn’t need to force the villagers to leave at all. Just a word can make The villagers left willingly. These are not problems, the key to the problem is this forest."

"How about I go back and ask the old people in the village, maybe they will know something about this forest." Sister Mei thought for a while.

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "This possibility is very small, after all, it is a long time ago. I am afraid that there are no people who can remember the origin of this forest. But we have been out for a long time, it is time to go back. Let's go."

Just as they were walking back, but before they got out of the woods, they saw an old man coming in front of them.The old man looked very old, his back was a little hunched, and he was basking in the sun by the edge of the forest with his eyes squinted.Seeing them coming out, the old man seemed taken aback, and asked quickly, "Why did you come here?"

Sister Mei knew the old man, and hurried forward, "Third Uncle, it's me. I'm Xiaomei."

The old man thought for a while and said, "Xiaomei, are you the daughter of Xiaojia's family?"

"Yeah, why did you come here, old man?" Sister Mei said with a smile.

"Isn't that right, are you out for a walk? You haven't been home for some time. These two are..." Third Uncle looked at Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan and said.

"This is my friend, he came to play." Sister Mei said with a smile.

Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, we are here to play with Sister Mei."

The third uncle smiled and said, "Come here to play? This is something new. These city people, why don't they come to this small place to play when they have nothing to do?"

"Oh, let's not talk, we are going back. Third Uncle, do you want you not to come to my house for dinner?" Sister Mei said with a smile.

"No, no, I'm going home too." The third uncle said with a smile.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "That's good, let's go back together." Walking on the road, the old man was also cheerful, chatting and laughing with Sister Mei and Fan Jiannan.However, when Sister Mei asked him about the forest, the old man remained silent.I don't know if it's because I'm old, I have some hearing problems, or I don't want to talk about it.Fan Jiannan is so shrewd, he can tell at a glance that this old man seems to know something but refuses to say it.

But this seems unreasonable, the existence of this forest is not long.Even if this third uncle is older, he shouldn't understand these things.Could it be that he wanted to hide something else?Fan Jiannan thought about it.

When they returned to the village, Sister Mei enthusiastically took third uncle back to her house for dinner.At this time, Sister Mei's father, Zhuang Jia, also saw the third uncle, and even more politely pulled him into the room and sat down.Although it is a small village, there is no decent meal, but it is considered rich compared to usual.Zhuang Jia opened another bottle of wine and drank with his third uncle and Fan Jiannan.

After drinking some wine, the third uncle's face began to flush a little, and he began to talk more.

When Fan Jiannan brought up the forest intentionally or unintentionally, the third uncle finally couldn't help but said, "The forest was planted by those Taoist masters on the mountain. It's better for ordinary people not to ask more about the Feng Shui of the fairy family."

"Oh, I'm just asking casually. You know a lot, so you can tell us casually." Fan Jiannan said with a smile.

"You guys don't know. I don't know how many years that forest has been, and I don't know how many dynasties it has gone through, but there are so many trees anyway. It is said that these trees are related to the dragon veins of Huashan. No matter what, as long as one of the trees dies, someone will immediately replant another one. If other miscellaneous trees grow around, someone will also clean them up. So no matter how many years have passed, the forest will always be Keep it like this." The third uncle took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "Do you know why?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this."

"It all depends on the Taoist priests on the mountain. Let me tell you, it's not that my old man is superstitious. The Taoist priests on the mountain are really capable people. Those trees are also unusual trees. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, there was a person who saw I fell in that forest and wanted to cut some trees back to build a house. But, after he finished cutting the tree today, he went back to look at it tomorrow, and found that the tree had grown again. And the tree he cut back, he went home to have a look , Not at all. This man fell ill on the spot, and was cured by the Taoist priest on the mountain later." Third Uncle said slowly.

Fan Jiannan glanced at Feng Yuan and thought, the tree-chopper must have fallen into some kind of brilliant illusion or deception.It's not a strange thing.However, it is worth noting that these Huashan Taoist priests maintain this forest in such a way.

He thought about it carefully, even if it was a forest planted in the Song Dynasty, if no one maintained and managed it, after so many years, it would not be possible to see the original layout of the nine palaces.But it is different if someone maintains it frequently.

Fan Jiannan took the opportunity to ask some other things.

The third uncle drank a little wine and became interested, so he smiled and said, "There is one more thing that I personally experienced when I was young. I think it was in [-] or [-], I forgot. At that time, a survey team came to the village. Xiao Jia should still remember this."

Sister Mei's father Zhuang Jia nodded and said, "Yes, I remember. Didn't the people in the village help me at that time?"

"Yeah, there weren't many jobs that could earn money in those days. We mountain people didn't have much income except for the family's Susukida. But if you help the work team, you can get paid. So I am willing to help There are quite a few of them." The third uncle smiled and said, "You said that group of people are also strange, a few young people, what to do, they have to drill into the mountains. They have a telescope and a compass, and look at it. One day I don’t know what I’m busy with at night. I help them move things when I’m free. By the way, I even drive nails into the mountain.”

"Are they still hammering nails into the mountain with a compass?" Fan Jiannan frowned slightly.

"Yeah, big iron nails, it takes a lot of effort." The third uncle boasted, "I had a strong body and strength when I was young. I can earn a lot in a day."

Fan Jiannan frowned slightly, and thought to himself, "The compass and iron nails, could they be from the Kanyu Sect. But it seems wrong. If the Kanyu Sect has come here to investigate, Lin Ruogu should know this. But, why did he Never mentioned it?"

Fan Jiannan pretended to be interested and said, "Is there still money to be made by knocking nails on the mountain?"

"Isn't it?" Third Uncle laughed loudly, "But later, they stopped going up the mountain and studied the forest all day long. You said there's something interesting about a forest, but they just stayed in our village for half a year. "

Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan looked at each other, and asked again, "What happened next?"

"What happened later was strange. Some of them wanted to cut down the forest, but something happened before they could do it." Third Uncle said mysteriously, "Someone got sick."

"Sick?" Feng Yuan asked strangely.

"Yes, those people who planned to cut down the trees got sick one after another." The third uncle nodded and said, "It's the strange thing, only those who cut down the trees got sick, but the others were fine. It's like people like us They vomited and vented. Everyone in the village said that it was the fairy tree that moved the Xiyue Zhenjun. In the end, we could only ask our villagers to help them cut down the tree. But think about it, our village , who dares to do this? Even if you give money, it won’t work.”

"Oh, so what happened to them then?" Fan Jiannan mused.

"What else can I do? Later, a doctor was called, but he didn't find anything wrong with it. He said it might be because of the acclimatization. After a few months of tossing around, they went back." Third Uncle said.

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and asked, "Have these people been here again?"

"Never again." Third Uncle shook his head. "Hey, by the way, I remembered. There was still a photo at that time. I took a photo with the villagers and the work team who helped in the village."

"Oh? Then can we take a look?" Feng Yuan asked hastily.

"Sure, wait. I'll go back and get it!" The third uncle turned around and left with the strength of alcohol, and came back after a while, holding a photo in his hand and said, "Here, just this one, you see I was still young at that time It’s on. By the way, there’s a date on it. I remember it was [-], and you see I didn’t drink much at all.”

Fan Jiannan took it over and looked at it, frowning slightly.He didn't know any of the people here, but from their facial features, he could basically deduce their birthdays.His heart twitched slightly, Sorcerer!The people in this photo are all practitioners.Because the horoscope of the operator has some more prominent characteristics compared with normal people.The people in this yellowed old photo all fit this kind of characteristics.

Now Fan Jiannan can basically confirm that the survey team back then was not an official background at all, but someone used this reason to find something.
