Chapter 395: Isn't It Just a Seal?
The life span of the yellow cypress tree is very long, and hundreds of years old trees can be said to abound, but Su Hang has never seen it to this extent, and Su Hang can't say how many years it can be.
In ancient times, some superstitious sayings said that this kind of tree is easy to provoke some cows, ghosts, snakes and gods and the like, so it can only be planted in temples and some public places, and ordinary families will not plant it.
"This tree is so big. ”
Xue Qi got out of the car and saw the tree, and he was also amazed, just like seeing the big palm tree on the palm tree slope in Suxi that day.
Guo Xiaolong said next to him, "This yellow cypress tree, it is said that it is more than 800 years old, the village people take it as an ancestor like an offering, when the company was ready to open a mine, originally wanted to remove this tree, the road widened, but did not want to be obstructed by the villagers, almost suffered a hoe." ”
"Isn't it just a tree?" Xue Qi was a little curious.
"Brother Xue, you don't know. Guo Xiaolong shook his head, "The ideas that have been passed down for hundreds of years, where is it so easy to reverse, the people in this village are all surnamed Huang, and they all claim to be the descendants of the yellow cypress tree, this yellow cypress tree is a sacred tree in their eyes, whoever dares to touch this tree, they will play with whomever they want, if someone touches your family's ancestral grave, you will definitely be angry, right?"
As soon as Guo Xiaolong said this, Xue Qi immediately had nothing to say, if anyone touched his ancestral grave, he would definitely play with the other party.
It's just that treating a tree as an ancestor is indeed a bit incredible in Xue Qi's opinion.
"There was an accident in the mine before. There are rumors in the village that the mining has annoyed the tree. The dryad got angry and took away all the workers who were mining the mines. Guo Xiaolong said beside him.
"Huh?"
Xue Qi was stunned for a moment. Looking up at the tree, "If this tree really has a spirit, then it shouldn't take away those workers, and the first one should be to take you as leaders." ”
Guo Xiaolong froze when he heard this, laughed dryly, and nodded a little embarrassedly.
At this time, Xue Qi saw Su Hang and walked straight to the yellow cypress tree, and folded his hands seemingly piously. He made three gestures at the tree.
"Brother Hang, what are you doing here?"
Xue Qi walked over, why did he still worship this tree, could it be that he also believed Guo Xiaolong's nonsense, thinking that this was a divine tree.
"This is a godfather. Su Hang raised his head and said to Xue Qi.
"Godfather?"
Xue Qi was stunned for a moment, and was a little confused, what do you mean by this godfather? This tree is your godfather? Isn't your godfather Su Rong's son? How many godfathers do you have?
Su Hang just smiled faintly and didn't explain too much. walked straight to the village, leaving Xue Qi alone for some reason.
At this time, Guo Xiaolong walked over and looked at Su Hang's back with a smile, "I don't know about other places." However, there is indeed such a custom in the area of western and southern Shu. ”
"What customs?" Xue Qi turned his face to look at Guo Xiaolong.
Guo Xiaolong said, "It can be regarded as a superstitious custom." If you have children at home, if you are weak and sickly. Or if the child is too skinny and too difficult to discipline, the family will let the child worship the yellow cypress tree as a godfather. Give it sickness and make sure that the child is less affected by disasters. ”
"And this kind of thing?" Xue Qi felt very curious.
Guo Xiaolong nodded, "The customs here are like this, but in recent years, there have been a lot less, in previous years, if you stood on the street and shouted 'Huang Jue'er', there will definitely be many people who will agree to you." ”
"Haha. ”
Xue Qi laughed suddenly, needless to say, Su Hang must also be Huang Jueshu's godson, Huang Jue'er, just thinking about it, Xue Qi also felt funny.
Following Su Hang's example, he made a few gestures at the yellow cypress tree, and Xue Qi hurriedly followed Guo Xiaolong into the village.
This village is a bit deserted.
There are a lot of houses, but they are relatively old, most of them are old houses, and there are not many people in the village, I am afraid that it is the same as other villages, most of the young laborers have gone out to work, and the rest are only some old and weak women and children.
Occasionally, I can see some simple villagers getting together and chatting, all talking and laughing, and when they see the three people who enter the village, they also cast curious eyes.
The conversation was all about parents, and it seemed that what happened in the jade mine a few months ago did not have much impact on their lives.
The three of them did not stay in the village too much, and went directly through the village and up the back mountain.
The back mountain is full of earth, and a flat land has been dug out by hand in the middle of the mountain, and the construction site is isolated, with long and tall barbed wire, and a large iron gate is sealed with a seal, and no one is allowed to enter.
There are some household garbage everywhere, and you can imagine how lively the construction site used to be, but now it is deserted.
There was a board room next to the iron gate, and an old man came out of it.
"Where did you come from?" The old man was wearing a security uniform, and he looked a little imposing, but when he saw Guo Xiaolong, he was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Guo, why are you here?"
Guo Xiaolong had been to the construction site before, obviously this old man knew him, this old man's name was Huang Dingming, a villager in Huangjue Village, hired by the mine, to guard the construction site, after all, this is a jade mine, and now it has been sealed, so there is no guarantee that someone will quietly go in and dig.
It's okay to steal the mining stones, but if someone dies again, it won't end.
Guo Xiaolong briefly introduced, Huang Dingming knew that Su Hang was the new boss, and his attitude was obviously much more respectful, and he hurriedly introduced the situation in the mine during this time.
"Now that the mine is sealed, no one is allowed to enter, and if you want to go in and see, I'm afraid ...... , and I don't have a key either. Huang Dingming was a little embarrassed when he learned that the three wanted to go to the construction site.
"Isn't it just a seal? Xue Qi pursed his lips, stepped forward in two steps, and directly ripped the seal on the iron door, grabbed the big lock on the iron door, twisted it hard, and the big lock was twisted with a click, and it was torn off alive.
Huang Dingming watched from the side, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, this little baby's strength is too terrifying, it's an iron gate, not made of tofu, how can you say that it's going to be pulled?
"Isn't that enough?"
Throwing the lock into the grass next to him, Xue Qi clapped his hands, quite proud.
A small iron door, where can stop him, if they don't come to the bright light, they only need to jump lightly to enter.
"Oh, you, why did you pull it off?" Huang Dingming came back to his senses, but he panicked, and hurriedly ran to pick up the torn seal, "If you let those officials see it, you have to arrest someone." ”
"Old man, rest assured, since I dare to pull this seal, I am not afraid that someone will come to arrest it, and it will be fine. Young Master Xue waved his hand, looking like his tail was about to be pulled to the sky.
Long before they came here, they had already solved the trouble in the mine through their relationship, and this seal was no longer in existence, and no one dared to come to find trouble.
Huang Dingming didn't say anything, these are big shots, they should have some energy, but he still carefully put away the seal, ready to wait for Su Hang and them to leave, and then quietly paste it back, as long as the technology is good enough, he is not afraid of being seen flawed.
……
The mine is full of dirt and gravel, and some excavation equipment, most of which are placed in the open air, and are covered with seals, because they have not been used for a long time, some of the machines have rusted, and there are even piles of jade wool that no one cares about.
It can be seen that this incident has caused Yuding's losses very heavy.
There are two mines, one large and one small, the big one was opened a long time ago, and the small one was newly opened, and Guo Xiaolong said that the accident in the mine was shortly after the small mine was opened, and the more than 20 workers who disappeared were all lost in this small mine.
Su Hang can also be regarded as having some achievements in the art of Xuanmen, although Feng Shui is not refined, but also a little attained, looking outside, I didn't see anything peculiar, Feng Shui is not good, but it is definitely not bad, at least there is nothing near here that makes him feel inappropriate.
"What kind of top-quality jade has ever been found in this mine?" Xue Qi asked Guo Xiaolong, the purpose of his following Su Hang was to find energy stones from the jade mine in order to open the mysterious teleportation array in Su Hang's hometown. (To be continued.) )
