Chapter 189 Twelve
The guide led the team, and a few of us walked along the mountain road to the mountain. Although it was early spring now, the mountain was still covered with snow, and it seemed that it had never melted before. To be fair, this mountain was not too big, but the mountain road was crisscrossed. If there were no guides to lead the way, we might have lost our way except Fatty Sun.
What was a bit unexpected was the young man brought by Jin Blind, who was carrying Jin Blind, and he didn't have any difficulty at all. He was even teased by Fatty Sun, saying that he was carrying Jin Blind on the way down the mountain, and the young man came back to him. Although this was a joke, in terms of the physical strength of this young man, carrying another Fatty Sun was probably not much worse.
Following the guide, a row of strange stone statues carved into hungry ghosts began to appear at the middle of the mountain. Even in broad daylight, if a person sees such stone statues on the mountain, he will still feel a little furry in his heart. When he walked to the stone statues and looked carefully for a few glances, he found that the style of each stone statue was different. Some stone statues were carved carefully and looked like a work of art, while others were much rougher. The most outrageous thing was the last stone statue, which was just carved with a group of facial features on a stone, which looked like a child's graffiti.
After seeing these stone statues, Fatty Sun said to the guide: "It's not me that you have what customs are there here? If you don't offer land to the mountain gods on the mountain, what kind of ghosts are there?"
"This is not something that can be said clearly in one or two sentences. Let's take a break. By the way, I will tell you about the shamans on the mountain." At this point, the guide stopped. After looking at the stone statues on both sides of the mountain road, he turned to Fatty Sun and said, "This is the territory of the shaman. This is telling the nearby mountaineering people that the land of their territory is their territory. If there is nothing to do, don't go up."
"This is their territory." Fatty Sun repeated the guide's words, blinked his eyes and continued: "You just said that they - it wasn't me that how many shamans live in this mountain?"
"It's basically only one. I heard from the older generation that the shamans here are a single generation. They are a master and an apprentice. When the master dies, the apprentice will be the next generation of shamans." Speaking of this, the guide paused, then pointed to the stone statues of hungry ghosts and said, "The stone statues you see are carved by each generation of shamans. They are arranged in order from beginning to end."
After the guide finished speaking, we looked at the stone statues again. After Fatty Sun looked at them, he pointed to the last stone statue that looked like graffiti and said, "It's not me that this was also carved by the shaman himself? I just thought that which naughty child was here to meet the situation, and the shaman also carved this virtue?"
"You'd better be careful when you say this." The guide's face changed. He looked around for a few times. After confirming that there was no one else around us, he continued to say: "This is the person you are looking for, and it is also the shaman of this generation."
"Shaman of this generation" I counted the stone statues and continued, "There are thirteen stone statues in total, so is he the thirteenth generation shaman?"
"He said he was the twelve generations himself." After a smile, the guide said, "It sounds like thirteen o'clock. The 14th generation lowered himself for a lifetime and later pulled him to his master's generation. Now when the mountain people around him mentioned him, they all called him twelve."
After hearing this, Fatty Sun grinned, then took out a cigarette and handed it to the guide, and said, "Didn't I say, this guy is a bit interesting. By the way, is this twelve big size?"
"Don't smoke smoke anymore. I used to be a forest ranger. I've seen the fire burning. Once the fire burns, we can't escape." The guide pushed Fatty Sun's cigarette back, paused for a moment, and continued, "You ask Twelve's name, you're the right person. The whole piece may be what I know about his name - Yu Cunchuan. I said it last time after drinking my little roast more than one pound.
"Yu Cunchuan..." Fatty Sun muttered, and after putting the cigarette back into the cigarette box, he turned his face and looked at Huang Ran. When he saw Huang Ran, he looked confused. Then he looked at Jin Jianzi intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, Jin Jianzi almost had the same expression as Huang Ran. He was sure that no one knew about this shaman named Yu Cunchuan. Fat Sun smiled and turned his face and said to the guide: "When Yu Cunchuan got drunk, did you not tell you his details?" Dai Wei just scratched.
"I really don't know this. I just heard that Yu Cunchuan is a Manchu." The guide shook his head and said, "For other questions, after you meet, please ask him personally."
After saying that, the guide looked at us and said, "Have you all rested? If we all rested, we will continue to move forward."
Walking further up the mountain, the guide seemed to have lost his goal and began to take us around the mountainside. Not long after walking, Fatty Sun saw it: "Brother, didn't I say, where do you want to take us? It seems that you don't know."
The guide laughed dryly and said, "So many times I went up the mountain. Twelve asked me to prepare something for him and agreed to deliver it to him. Every time I went to the stone statue, and Twelve was already waiting for me. Even if I asked him to drink a few times, I would lay mats in the stone statue. No matter how much he drank, I didn't have to send him back. Another time, when he was drinking too much, I wanted to follow him to see where the shaman lived. Finally, he followed, and his people disappeared. After that, I didn't dare to follow him. But when I saw him the last time, I didn't dare to go to the forest ranger and asked him to drink. Finally, he took me to the top of the mountain and gave me a piece of jade, saying that I thanked me for my friendship with him for drinking in the past few years..."
When he heard that the guide got a piece of jade in the shaman's hand, Fatty Sun's eyes immediately lit up. He looked at the guide with a smile and said, "Didn't you send it to you by the shaman? It's enough for the second half of his life to chew the valley?"
"Where..." The guide shook his head and said, "For this jade, I took a bus to the city first and found someone who understands it. But the person said that the jade had an impure texture and there were too many impurities inside it and it was not worth it at all. In the end, the man estimated the jade and said that it was only 180 yuan. At that time, I begged someone to collect the jade for 100 yuan, but the man refused to accept it."
"This is interesting." Fatty Sun looked up and down at the guide, his eyes turned around in his pocket. He continued, "You won't bring that piece of jade so coincidentally today, right?"
The guide smiled, then turned into the pocket of his shirt and took out a gray jade ring. He said, "It's such a coincidence. When Boss Zhao asked me to lead the way, I took this jade with me and planned to return it to Twelve. After treating him for more than ten meals, he got this broken stone that didn't pay a hundred dollars. I was a little unfair. I invited the wine and he didn't need to pay it back."
Fatty Sun took Yuhuan, slapped it in his hand for two or three times, and handed it to Huang Ran, then stared at Huang Ran, waiting for his next expression.
After taking it, Huang Ran only took a look, and then immediately said to the guide: "Are you willing to take action on this piece of jade? If you want to take action, we can talk about the price."
The guide was stunned for a moment. He had asked several people in Harbing. These families said that this piece of jade is not valuable. This fat man with gray hair had clearly heard what he said, but now he still asked what it means?
