Chapter 85 Chapter 2 Ancient Dragon

I was lying on the bed and meditating. Could it be that the old curator was confused? After all, it has been so long, and he may have misremembered it.Six people go, five people return.The old curator Zha has always lived alone without a wife and children. If there are really six people going together, who will be the last person?The old curator Zha never mentioned it in his letter, maybe that person has died of illness.In short, it is impossible for that person to still work in the museum. Otherwise, the old curator would not be so depressed all the time, and the thoughts that had been buried for so many years would not be revealed until now. The curator can't be contacted.

The next morning, we set off by car.Because I didn’t start with a tour group, I had to take care of many things by myself. It was hard to find out that I had to transfer many times to Yizhou, Guangxi, and it was really hard to find a city in the mountains.Before our trip, I called many times to check the cell phone of the old curator, but I couldn’t get through, which made me worried. This scene happened before I went to Shanxi. I hope that the tragedy of Mr. Ye will not happen again. staged.After a long and hard drive, I finally took a direct bus to Yizhou in Liuzhou. "Xinhong, are you sure that the old curator Cha has gone to Yizhou? What if we run out of time?" I asked worriedly.

"Impossible. I heard my dad mention it when I was young, and he took me there several times. This time, the old curator must have gone there." Xinhong said confidently. "That's good, this time I'm not going to the wilderness, so there should be no trouble." I said looking out the car window. "You think there are dangers everywhere, we just went to find the old curator, a small town, I think it should not be difficult to find." Xinhong said here but lost his confidence. "When was the last time you went with your uncle?" I asked. "You hadn't come to live with us at that time, it seems to be when I was 7 years old." Xinhong tried hard to recall.

"7 years old? Now almost twenty years have passed. Do you know how much a small town has changed? How big was the town when you went there before, and isn't it called Yizhou now? If you want to find someone in a city, no It’s hard to die.” I began to feel that this trip was another torture. "I used to go to a county called Yishan County. Now it has become a city. It seems that the change is really big. The center of this place is in a place called Qingyuan Town. Every time my father takes me there, it is like this place, you can rest assured." Xinhong said relaxedly. "Don't worry? I'm not a fool." I muttered for a while, then said, "Do you think the old curator is demented? If the place he was going to was not dangerous, he would ask Uncle Tian to give us a letter in such a complicated way." Can’t he tell us when he comes back from there, I think it must be very dangerous there, the old curator Zha knew it himself, so that’s why..." I said and fell silent.

"Then...how about you go back." Xinhong said with difficulty. "Go back? You asked me to go back after you came out. If I was really afraid of death, I wouldn't come out. I'm that kind of person. It's time to travel again." I said with a smile. "Thanks, but every time Dad took me there, he went out alone and came back very late. I once saw him bring back a bus ticket, which said..." Xinhong said, but here stop. "What is it, you said it, what's the point?" I pushed Xinhong beside me. "Look outside, look out the car window!" Xinhong didn't answer me, he just kept looking at the scenery outside the car window.

At this time, we have entered the territory of Yizhou, surrounded by mountains and rivers, green and verdant, and the breeze blowing in from the car window has the smell of grass leaves.The green hills here are always accompanied by green water. If it was still in ancient times, this should be regarded as a geomantic treasure, at least it is also the burial place of princes and nobles.The mountains here are not mountains, but to be precise, there are hills in the green mountains. In short, they are located together in a series, and the rivers flow between the mountains, full of vitality.The most special thing is that the surrounding area is full of mulberry trees. It seems that the scale of silkworm farming here is quite large.Although the scenery here is very beautiful, but I am full of sadness. There are so many mountains and caves everywhere. If the old curator Zha really wants to go in, he can't find it.

"By the way, what place were you talking about just now? Didn't uncle come back with a ticket? Do you remember?" I asked impatiently. "I remember it was called..." Xinhong paused for a while, trying to recall, and then told me. "Ancient dragon!" "Gu Long? He... didn't he write martial arts novels, and he seems to be dead. Could it be that he went to Yizhou with his uncle back then?" I asked in great surprise. "It's not the Gu Long who wrote the novel, it's a place name. When this name appeared, Gu Long hadn't written a novel yet." Xinhong corrected.

"Then... Gulong is a place name... Did uncle go to that place when he came to Yizhou? What's that place like?" I asked. "Well, it should be a place name. Dad didn't take me there at the time, and I don't know what it's like there." After finishing speaking, Xinhong got up and said, "Get off the bus, we've arrived." After we got off the bus, we found a place to settle down first. The motherland is developing rapidly, and now Yizhou is quite prosperous. I can’t help worrying whether the place where the old director Cha and my parents went is still there, and whether it will be destroyed. up.In fact, there is another purpose for me to come this time, which is to find out about my parents. Maybe their disappearance is also related to what happened 20 years ago, but why didn't they disappear at that time like Xinhong's mother? It took more than ten years to abandon me.

We also inquired about the situation here. It turns out that many celebrities have been here. Take the most recent example. During the Anti-Japanese War in the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), Zhu Kejiao, a famous scientist and president of Zhejiang University, led the whole school to Yishan County. Later, famous professors and scholars Feng Zikai, Tan Jiazhen, Su Buqing, Zhang Qiyun, Hu Gangfu, Ma Yifu, etc. all came here one after another. It seems that this place should not be underestimated.We also inquired about the place of Gulong, and the locals told us that it is now a tourist attraction, surrounded by mountains and rivers, not to mention caves, which are both deep and shallow.The reason why it is called Gulong is because there is a river called Gulong River, but in order to cooperate with tourism development, it has been called "Gulong Piao".Well-meaning passers-by noticed that we wanted to enter the mountains, so they reminded us that the mountains are not yet open, and weird things often happen, it is best not to go in, just play on both sides of the river.

After we thanked the passers-by, we became a little happier.Because that place has not been developed yet, so the place more than 20 years ago may still be preserved, but this also shows that the dangers of the past are still there. Doesn’t the old curator mean that they encountered many dangers here? ?On the way back to the hotel, I received a text message from Chen Jing. She said that she had gone to the hospital for an examination. As I expected, she did have cancer, but luckily it was an early stage.She asked me, are you still at home?I didn't want Chen Jing to join in, so I lied to her that I was.Then, she sent another text message, saying that she had already taken the medicine, and the doctor said that the early treatment was very good, so she told us not to worry.She plans to go to a place to pick a kind of flower, which is very strange, and she will let me see it when she gets it.

After returning to the hotel, we plan to go to Gulong tomorrow to see what happened. This time we are fully equipped, so we don’t have to worry about going hungry even if we get lost in the mountains.I just chanted Gu Long in my heart many times, and I always felt that the name was weird, as if it had something to do with Yizhou.Yizhou has changed its name many times in the past two thousand years. It was called Zhou County when it first appeared, but the name here has been changing since the Han Dynasty. From Longgang County, Longding County, Longshui The county did not have the name of Yishan until the Song Dynasty, and then it has been used until it was changed to Yizhou a few years ago. From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the names of Yizhou have been changing during this period, and these names all have a dragon character. Now the place we are going to also has a dragon character. Is this a coincidence?The change of place names is a very deep knowledge. Generally, they will not be changed randomly, but there are very special reasons, just like many place names in Hong Kong are changed for some reasons that are not easy to explain.Take Sau Mau Ping in Kwun Tong District, Kowloon as an example. The teacher saw a mother and child in the rain. The mother knelt down to wipe the child's face. The teacher wanted to give the mother and child an umbrella, but when she got closer, she saw that the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the mother and child were continuously flowing out of sand... After the Han Dynasty and before the Song Dynasty, there may be reasons why it is difficult to explain clearly, but why the word "dragon" is inseparable from the changes during this period, and even the place to go is called "Gulong". ?
