The content depicted by the broken wooden board seen in the backyard of the Miao man's house made the three of them very puzzled. The meaning is too mysterious. However, after further careful observation, Chu Xunyu determined that the origin of this thing was extraordinary and indeed had an unusual relationship with the ancient Dian Kingdom. Then he asked for the origin. Mu Yuan was unsolved, so he asked the reason. Chu Xunyu explained it. There were three reasons: First, the materials used in this wooden board were not the same as the same as the golden nanmu. Everyone knows the royal family. The country is known to everyone.

When Qi was buried, he had to use golden nanmu as a coffin. In fact, this kind of wood was a royal tribute wood with a rare yield. Even the dragon throne of some emperors was made of it. Using it represents supreme honor, not related to the saying of the deceased ghosts and gods. Private hiding among the people is equivalent to treason and a crime of extermination. Therefore, only the people in the royal family can be used to decorate or bury for their own lives. Where did the royal family come from in the southern border? It was only the ancient Dian Kingdom that was back then.

Secondly, Chu Xunyu has been familiar with the classics of the Medicine King's Mansion since he was a child, and has a deep understanding of plants, trees, fish and insects. The best golden nanmu has a faint fragrance that lasts for a long time. It can distinguish the origin according to the smell. The wood he saw in front of him came from the ancient Yelang country, which was within the jurisdiction of the Guizhou governor established in the Ming Dynasty. The nanmu produced there smelled. When Zhuang Zhu led his troops south from Chu to southern Xinjiang, he must have passed by the near to Yelang on the way. He must have cut down along the way and took it to this place. With his personality, he will definitely not be distributed to the people and the king and the people to enjoy together, so the key point is here.

Third, the style of the painting is extremely rough, barbaric, and extremely weird. The old woman with snake body has clear wrinkles and grin, which makes people feel disgusted and hateful. It is typical of the witchcraft style of the pre-Qin period, which is in line with the essence of the Southern Xinjiang art of the two techniques.

With these three points, Chu Xunyu dared to assert that this thing must be related to the ancient Dian Kingdom. If you ask the source, the black-faced man told them that in fact he only knew the origin of this thing. It was picked up by his father. When he was a child, his father went to the mountain to collect herbs. Suddenly, he encountered heavy rain and washed down the snow on the mountain with mud and stones. In the valley, his father saw a lot of scattered wood, including this wooden board. Because he saw that the wooden board was quite complete and smelled like a fragrance, he brought it back with great joy. He originally planned to make the walls of the house, but after rinsing it, he felt that it was full of strange patterns and was ominous, but he couldn't bear to throw it away, so he used it to build a house for miscellaneous items in the backyard. Fortunately, there had not been any accidents for many years, so he let it go. If Chu Xunyu had not brought silk to exchange goods today, he wouldn't remember it.

After listening to Chu Xunyu's analysis and the description of the black-faced man, Wangchen and Mu Yuan both felt that what Chu Xunyu said was reasonable. The ruins in the mountain must be inseparable from the ancient Dian Kingdom. However, it is unknown whether it was an ancient tomb or the place where the talented people in the ancient Dian Kingdom were refining medicine or practice. Three people had to go in before they could find out. So Chu Xunyu took out silk and gave it to them. At first, the black-faced man was not very willing, thinking that if he wanted to exchange goods, he had to demolish the hut. However, Chu Xunyu didn't want this thing. First, he thanked him for taking him to see this painting, and second, he hoped to find out where to go in the mountains.

Seeing that the black-faced man and his wife could receive the best Jiangnan silk without having to tear the house, they were so happy that they asked everyone to come into the house to talk and pour out tea and tell the news. The man told Chu Xunyu that the three generations of their family were herb collectors, and they often entered this mountain. There were indeed some dangers in the mountains. There have always been "two harms". One harm is that there are many poisonous insects and snakes in the mountains. At the beginning of spring, there are hundreds of insects appearing. When you enter the mountain, you must bring some detoxification herbs, otherwise you will inevitably be in danger. Chu Xunyu has never been afraid of this, so it is not a serious expression here.

The second harm is the saying that the villagers often say that monsters are rushing to others. The black-faced man also knows this very detailed, because his father and grandfather have both met it. It is said that there is a bottomless "mountain ghost cave" in this mountain. If you don't walk well, you will easily be pounced by the mountain ghosts and monsters that escape from it. Therefore, there has always been a saying in this place that "will go white but not black, go south but not north", which means that you have to go in and out of the mountain during the day and don't stay there at night. You can walk on the mountain road in the south, but the snow is thick and the forest is deep, and monsters often appear, so you can only pick herbs in the south. When his father was young, he accidentally entered the forest in the north because of greed. When he rushed back, he wasted time. The sun had already set and he ran into a mountain ghost and rushed up. This was my personal experience. I hope Chu Xunyu and the other two should pay attention.

Chu Xunyu asked inexplicably: "What is the 'mountain ghost' you are talking about? Or exactly what does it look like?" Because there is never a mountain ghost in the Han people's concept, it is necessary to figure out what it is, so it is better to prescribe the right medicine.

The black-faced man once heard his father say that he was a black-faced man with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist. He was huge, fishy and stinky, extremely hard, speechless, silent, and dressed in rags, but occasionally there were rare treasures on his body. Sometimes people picked up some gold, silver and jade beads in the mountains. Everyone knew that it was given by the mountain ghost. After they came back, they would open an altar to sacrifice and thank him for his gift.

"How come this sounds familiar?" Mu Yuanqi asked, "Don't you, is this similar to the stories of zombies you told me when you were a child? There are also many such things in the midst of the crowd."

"I think so too." Chu Xunyu nodded, "It should be the zombies in the ruins here, but can your father come back alive to describe it to you? How unexpected it is to meet zombies." Chu Xunyu raised his question in his heart.

The black-faced man laughed and then answered Chu Xunyu. When his father met a mountain ghost, he fled immediately. Fortunately, he was young and strong, and he collected herbs all year round. He didn't slow down. He reached a cliff without running a few steps and jumped off the cliff without saying a word. In fact, it was because the rope was tied on the cliff. This was the habit of the Miao family to collect herbs. Whenever he encountered good medicine on the cliff, he would tie his waist with a rope and hang down in the air to pick it. He would not take it away after coming up.

The ropes were soaked with tincture oil, which was extremely tough and could withstand wind, frost, rain and dew. Miao people were innocent and kept the rope here for the convenience of later generations in the same village. His father was in a panic at that time, and accidentally ran to the edge of the cliff in the dark. With an idea, he grabbed the rope and jumped off the cliff and hid in the air in the dark. The mountain ghost wandered around the cliff for a while. He couldn't see anyone, so he went back. After he left, his father secretly said he was lucky and returned home. From then on, he never dared to go to the north hillside again.

This news is extremely important to Chu Xunyu and the other two. It seems that the ruins in the mountain are in the north, but there are still some unsolvable points. If you guess correctly, the so-called mountain ghost should be a zombie to pounce on people, but what kind of zombies will be exposed to the sun in broad daylight? Even in the dark, it is absolutely impossible to be exposed on the surface of the mountain. When the day comes, the sun is getting stronger and the yin energy on the body will be dispersed in less than a year, and it will rot and die. How can it be found all year round? The second is where this zombie comes from? Ancient tomb zombie is in the tomb, buried deep in the burial, why run around the mountains? Or is it a ruin? The strangers of the ancient Dian Kingdom turned into zombie after their death? From this golden nanmu, it seems that the characters in this are not Zhuang Zhu, but they must be the royal nobles of the ancient Dian Kingdom. They have a great relationship with Zhuang Zhu, but they can't understand it when they pounce on people everywhere.

These doubts asked about the black-faced man of ordinary people was also a waste of time, so Chu Xunyu and others said goodbye. After coming out, they took out the animal skin tent on the horse and prepared to leave the village for a night. There were still no Han people here. When the three of them entered the mountain tomorrow morning, Chu Xunyu gave Gatong 50 years of silver and some herbs and salt, and told him that it was limited to one month, and Gatong was waiting here. If the three people did not come out after one month, he would let him leave on his own. Gatong seemed a little reluctant, but there was no way. The mountain was very dangerous, and Gatong could only add burdens.

If it is a Miao person, it is better to stay in the village or stay here. When Chu Xunyu and the other three return victoriously, it will be a conclusion. Chu Xunyu is still a little sure of going there. If it is evil things that cause trouble, zombies will rush to others and other things. As soon as Mu Yuan’s Buddha light comes out, all evil will retreat. No matter how many zombies that are not as good as the weather, they will be burned into a pile of loess by the Buddha light. I am afraid that there are other evil things that have become climate in the mountains, it depends on the methods of the three. However, with Mu Yuan’s Diamond Sutra, which shocks the ancient and modern times, even if the pre-Qin corpse king comes here, the three of them dare to go on and take the chestnut from the fire.
