"How do you say that?" Xiao Mufeng was the first to speak this time, "Dragon is a legendary animal. Why is there such an unrealistic animal on the Shocking Mountain?"

Seeing Xiao Mufeng's expression of disbelief, the old man smiled wryly and said, "Little brother, I don't actually believe in dragons, but we have regulations here. Most people can only climb up to the sky terrace at most, and they can't go any higher. Even us villagers are only allowed to go up a little bit when collecting special medicinal materials."

"Then we can sneak up from the towering platform." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile on his face.

"No way!" The burliest mountain farmer next to him interjected, "There is a temporary hut next to the sky terrace, and the strongest people in our village will guard it in turn. With Uncle Liang's permission, it is simply impossible to continue climbing."

"Why can't you continue to climb up? This mountain doesn't belong to you. Why don't you let others go up?" Zhang Xiaohua blurted out the words, and after he finished speaking, he felt that he was a little too impulsive, and looked at the four people in front of him a little uneasy.

"Haha!" The four of them looked at Zhang Xiaohua's embarrassed face, and smiled heartily, and the elder among them continued, "Little brother is right, in fact, our village was not like this before, after all, this mountain is not ours. It’s just relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, but someone set such a rule 20 years ago.”

"20 years ago? Didn't this rule exist a long time ago? What about the legend about dragons? It only started 20 years ago?" Xiao Mufeng was still very curious about dragons.

"It's a long story! I'm afraid it will delay the three little brothers." The elder looked at Chen Feifei and the three who had already got up.

"We're not in a hurry. It should be half an hour late. Right?" Chen Feifei's curiosity had already been aroused, and he sat back in the pavilion again.

"En!" Xiao Mufeng and Zhang Xiaohua nodded in agreement, and then returned to the pavilion.

"That's good!" The old man laughed, "Since the three little brothers are so interested, then I'll make a long story short, so as not to delay the appointment time of the three, but also complete the whole thing."

The oldest mountain farmer took a water bag from his side, drank a few sips of water, and then began to say: "Our village is called Luofeng Village, and it is the only village around Jingtian Mountain. I don't know about the legend of the dragon. How long has it existed, or it has been passed down from generation to generation, and when it started is unknown. There was a legend of a dragon in this Jingtian Mountain, and the Wolong Pool is because of the legend that a dragon used to be in that pool It got its name from sleeping peacefully. Our Luofeng Village has been living on this mountain for generations, eating it and using it. At that time, many people yearned to climb to the top of the mountain, because as long as anyone can successfully climb to the top of the mountain and win the heavenly cry If it is grass, it can be elected as the next village head immediately. But 20 years ago, a senior official came to our village, hoping to save his wife's life with the Tianqi grass on the top of Jingtian Mountain. At that time, our village was the most powerful mountain climber. It was Uncle A Liang, who was only 28 and nine years old at the time, when he was young and strong, so he set off with his good brothers the next day."

"What was the weeping grass that day?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help interjecting.

"It is a kind of medicinal herb. It is said that it can not only dispel cold and detoxify, but also save half-dead people. But it can only be found on the top of Jingtian Mountain. It can only be found if you are lucky, and since it happened 20 years ago After that incident, you can no longer buy this rare medicinal herb no matter where you are." The slightly thin mountain farmer helped to answer.

After the slightly thin Shannong finished answering, the oldest Shannong continued: "At that time, the wife of the high official had a strange disease, her whole body turned black, and her appearance seemed to have changed. There is only one breath left. I heard that even the imperial physicians in the imperial city couldn't find out what the disease was, so they could only take some expensive medicines to last for ten days and a half months. Such a matter of human life, even if Regardless of that senior official, we at Luofeng Village will try our best to help him find Tianqicao. As a result, Uncle A Liang and his brothers were found unconscious at the foot of the mountain five days later. They took them all back to the village, and when they woke up, they asked what happened. As a result, Uncle A Liang said that he was the only one who made it to the top of the mountain, and none of his brothers went up, but at the top, he met When I arrived at the dragon, it seemed that the dragon had talked to him, and then he didn’t remember anything. When he woke up, he found himself lying on his own bed. Because of this strange thing, Tianqicao couldn’t find it. The wife of the high official also lived in the village for a few more days, and her whole body rotted to death. On the night the high official's wife died, I seemed to have heard a terrible cry. "

The medium-sized Shannong obviously still had a fresh memory, and couldn't help saying: "Yes! That scream is really scary."

"And the sound was so loud that almost the whole village could hear it!" the slightly thin mountain farmer added.

Hearing someone interrupted again, Xiao Mufeng couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Then what does this have to do with the fact that you can't go up to the top of the mountain now? Also, what the big brother said about Uncle Liang meeting the dragon, I don't know if it was It’s true or false. Can you please continue to finish the conversation.”

The old man also smiled and said: "Hehe! You have wasted a lot of time for the three of you! Alright! This time I will finish talking in one breath, and none of you are allowed to interrupt!"

Seeing the nods of the people who interrupted just now, the elder said again: "It is forbidden to go up to the sky now! In fact, that is what the senior official said. At that time, his wife died, and he felt so sad In addition, the unbelievable fact that Uncle A Liang met a dragon on the top of the mountain made the official think that our village failed him, so he submitted a memorial to the imperial court, saying that we were the ones who failed. Fengcun occupies the mountain of the imperial court and wants to take the mountain as its own. After this memorial was submitted, the imperial court still treated us more generously. No one was imprisoned. They just sent people to seal the mountain Get up, and we are forbidden to go to Jingtian Mountain. However, those of us who rely on the mountain and eat the mountain, after being sealed off Jingtian Mountain, many of us left our homes and went to Jingtian City. This memorial pleaded with the imperial court. It was not until the second year that the imperial court issued an order to prohibit anyone from going to the place above the tower. At that time, officers and soldiers were sent to guard the tower. But later, the court was too lazy to take care of it. Finally, the guard Let the villagers of Luofeng Village take over."

Seeing that the three of Chen Feifei wanted to talk again, the elder raised his hand and said, "You may ask if the dragon that Uncle A Liang said is real, but in fact, the whole village knows that Uncle A Liang never talks about dragons. It's just a lie, it's just that the incident was so bizarre that the whole village couldn't believe it at the time, but there was no way for people to explain why several people fell into a coma at the entrance of the village overnight, so they could only half believe it Until half a month later, Uncle A Liang unintentionally found a strange rock from his pocket. He said it was a strange rock because the stone was extremely cold. Even in very hot summer, the stone was always cold It was very cold. A long time ago, the ancestors who climbed to the top of the mountain brought a stone like this. They said that this kind of stone can only be found in the longan cave near the top of the mountain. It completely turned into a puddle of ice water 30 years ago. Therefore, basically the villagers believed what Uncle A Liang said was true."

"Then is this strange rock still in your village?" Zhang Xiaohua was always so curious about strange things.

The old man nodded and said: "Still, at Uncle A Liang's house, every summer when it is the hottest, people from our village will always go to Uncle A Liang's house to escape the heat."

Hearing that the stone was still there, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said happily: "That's great! I want to see it!"

Seeing how happy Zhang Xiaohua was, Xiao Mufeng hurriedly pulled him aside, and said to the four Shannong in front of him, "So that's it. It seems that I won't be able to reach the top of Shocking Mountain in the future, but now I'm starting to be curious about this dragon. If I have time someday, I will go to Luofeng Village, but I don’t know if Uncle Liang will show us the stone?”

"Hehe! Don't worry about this, Uncle A Liang is very hospitable." The most burly Shannong laughed.

"En! Come to Luofeng Village when the time comes! We will treat you well!" The elder nodded.

Chen Feifei got up and cupped his fists and said, "Then let's thank the big brothers here first! It's getting late, and it's time for me and the two brothers to go down the mountain! We will meet later!"

"There will be a period later!" The four mountain farmers also stood up and said.

After saying goodbye to the four mountain farmers, the three of Chen Feifei started down the mountain.
