Heir to the Celestial Master

Chapter 20 The Story of Li Shan

Shen Mingquan was on the stake, his legs intersected, and he wanted to reach out his hand to find something in his pocket, but there was nothing.

Yu turned around and took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the pouch, then threw them to Shen Mingquan, who caught them helplessly.

The smoke and dust were faint, Shen Mingquan rolled up his sleeves, and spat: "Do you know the strange story about Li Shan?"

Lan Weiwei and Yu looked at each other, and Lan Weiwei said hesitantly, "I've heard of it."

Shen Mingquan pointed again: "Then have you seen anything unusual along the way, with the eyes of your celestial masters?"

"No." This is what surprised Lan Weiwei the most. For a mountain with a long history like Li Mountain, she would not be too shocked even if the sky was full of misty fog like today. The strange thing is that it came Along the way, except for the corpse that was about to rot, she didn't see anything unclean. At one point, Lan Weiwei thought that there was something wrong with her eyes, but now Shen Mingquan asked her clearly, she felt strange , quietly listening to Shen Mingquan's next explanation.

"It's strange, I look like this, but I didn't grow up in an upper-class family in City A?"

Shen Mingquan changed his mind and started talking about his life experience again.

Lan Weiwei thought about it carefully, if she didn't know that he was a wild child who came out of the Lishan village, then she would definitely think that Shen Mingquan was a son of some family, elegant and handsome, and it didn't seem at all that he was a child in the mountain village.

Yu maintained an attitude of neither agreeing nor refuting his long-winded words, and continued to lean against a tree, slightly squinting his sharp eyes with eyelashes drooping, looking from Lan Weiwei's angle, Like a quiet and handsome boy, he attracts the eyes of girls his age, but in the deep mountains, Yin Jiani fell in love with Shen Mingquan wholeheartedly, while Lan Weiwei felt that his face was too immature, and his eyes were too fierce. Rather conflicted about him.

Seeing that no one else said anything, Shen Mingquan obviously wanted to ask Yin Jiani, but was frightened by Shen Mingquan's serious eyes, and stood aside crying, looking in an unknown direction with a little dullness in his eyes.

"Li Mountain used to be a very spiritual mountain, surrounded by mountains, even if you travel to pray for blessings, you can always ask for it. Maybe the old people exaggerated too much in the past, but at that time it was indeed more lively than Li Mountain in recent years. Many, look at the most central village."

Shen Mingquan pointed to the old village where Uncle Shen lived alone: ​​"Back then, there were hundreds of families living there, relying on tourists who went to the mountains to pray for blessings to do some small businesses, and they were considered wealthy, but Just when our whole village was getting better and better, my father thought about opening the road into the mountain, and then..."

Shen Mingquan took a sharp puff on the cigarette in his hand, and exhaled a big smoke ring, reflecting his flickering eyebrows and eyes. When he looked down, his eyes were slightly cloudy, but when he lowered his eyelids, they disappeared again, blue It was the second time Wei Wei had seen his eyes like this, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

When Shen Mingquan opened his eyes, his eyes became clear again, as if it was just an illusion in a blink of an eye.

"When the mountain was opened, Lan Tianshi was invited, who is Miss Lan's mother. I asked the mountain god of Lishan that day. Lan Tianshi felt that the method was inappropriate and asked my father to think about it before making a decision. But my father was like I was blinded by the little ghost and wanted to open up the mountain road. At that time, half of the people in the village thought that opening a mountain road was not a serious problem, so they ignored what Master Lan Tian said. This bronze medal was left to my father in case anything unexpected happened, which is why I have this bronze medal in my hand."

When Lan Weiwei heard Shen Mingquan stop, her breathing tightened unconsciously, and she subconsciously asked, "Then what happened later?"

"Later..." Shen Mingquan chuckled, his voice was full of self-deprecation. He had completely got rid of his previous appearance, Yin Jiani's ideal boyfriend, and the image of a gentleman in the eyes of the world. It is the land of Lishan. For this person who grew up in the mountains, he has regained his different wildness. His eyes have become a little deep, and he is staring at the village in the basin, which has been blurred. I don't know, those past events are vividly presented in front of several people with the opening of memories. Lan Weiwei is a little clear about the ending that is waiting for, but it seems to be an escape. Shen Mingquan asked again when he paused.

Night began to fall again, this was the night of the second day, they stood like this in the mist, quietly listening to Shen Mingquan's lonely voice drifting in the wind, as if there was a trace of reincarnation, Shen Mingquan returned to Lishan , Telling the old stories of more than ten years ago, the reincarnation of those fates that cannot be dissipated buried in the soil.

"Miss Lan, do you believe in fortune telling?"

Lan Weiwei was listening to his words when Shen Mingquan suddenly mentioned the word numerology.

"I believe it. My mother has always believed it. How could I not believe it?"

"That's right, how can the descendants of the Lan family not be superstitious?"

Lan Weiwei thought it was funny. On the one hand, Shen Mingquan felt that Lan's words made sense, and on the other hand, he felt that these were superstitions. I really don't know whether it was Shen Mingquan's contradiction, or whether everyone back then was not superstitious about these numerology and feng shui theories.

"Later...after Master Lantian left the bronze medal to my father, the young and middle-aged people in the village began to gather together, and people from other villages were also invited to help. They built the road bit by bit, and paved the road section by section, to the road that passes through the mountain. When they walked through the path in the year, something unusual happened. When they dug here, they cut down the surrounding forest, but the underground land could no longer be dug, only the sound of thumping came from the ground. , like a knocking sound from the deepest part of the earth, the sound is not loud, but it is very clear, and it reaches everyone's ears. At that time, they panicked and thought it was the punishment of the mountain god. My father was also checking around here For a long time, but did not find any other different places, except for the knocking sound, which is in the position we are standing in."

Shen Mingquan still had an expression of reminiscing about the past just now. When talking about the specific location, he finally stood up from the half mossy wooden post. His business casual clothes were completely muddy with mud and moss. He talked to Lan Weiwei nonchalantly. Walk together and look around.

The dense fog next to it did not dissipate at all. Lan Weiwei followed the path that Shen Mingquan had walked, looked down, the backpack was still on her back, the land under the strong light seemed to be a little different from when she came here, the soil was softer , as if stepping on it with one foot would sink it, Lan Weiwei moved her foot a few times and dared not move any more.
