For a famous mountain, there must be some ghosts and legends, so that it can be worthy of its huge name, and it will make people explore the ancient times, seek immortals and ask questions.

Jumen Ridge is such a mountain. It is located among the mountains in the northeast. Even in the hot summer, you will feel an indescribable chill when you walk into it.However, the legend is one thing, but the reality is another. It is like the butchers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces who were afraid of being retaliated by the animals they killed in the underworld. To buy copper coins, the people of Jumen Town went up the mountain to hunt and sell furs, and at the same time they went to various Taoist priests and witches to see if they were blind because they had offended some great fairy.

Such a group of people is Jumen Town, even 50 years ago it was not called Jumen Town, but Jumenji, a market place.At first this land was just a place for them to sell mountain products, but with more business travelers coming and going, it became a bustling town.

When Du Fangfeng and Zheng Zhao arrived here, it was time for the autumn fair, and the businessmen who came and went were all sharp-eyed people. What kind of leather would sell best in the capital, and what wild ginseng would be the most profitable when shipped to Yangzhou? Very friendly.

Zheng Zhaodao: "Since ancient times, merchants have been the most well-informed, but they are also the most difficult to ask. Fangfeng, how to ask?"

Du Fangfeng said: "Businessmen are well-informed because they rely on news to make money. One side buys at low prices, and the other side sells at high prices. If I ask straightforwardly about the ginseng beard, they must think that the news is worth their own money. Will tell me the truth, so I just need to let them think that this news is worthless." After she finished speaking, she looked at herself, then at Zheng Zhao, then shook her head and smiled: "It doesn't look like we are dressed like this In a nutshell, if you ask, no matter how you say it, you will be blackmailed by the merchants first, and then you can get some news that you don't know whether it is true or not."

Zheng Zhaodao: "Young girl won't lose sight of everyone if she puts on a Jingchai sarong, so wearing a fine dress will save you a lot of trouble."

Du Fangfeng laughed and said, "My lord, this is a compliment to me."

Zheng Zhaodao: "It's better to be born beautiful than ugly, at least it's pleasing to the eye."

Du Fangfeng smiled and said, "This is the truth. When I met an ugly person in the forest that day, my little girl would definitely not talk to him."

Zheng Zhaodao: "I don't know that the girl thinks so."

Du Fangfeng said: "My lord, why didn't you think of it? Everyone has a love for beauty. Is it true that in the lord's heart, the little girl is a person who has no beauty or ugliness in his eyes?"

Zheng Zhaodao: "The heaven and the earth are not benevolent, and they regard all things as straw dogs. I think that in the eyes of a girl, all beings are as equal as grass."

Du Fangfeng said: "My little girl seeks the truth, the truth, the truth, and the true knowledge are all true to me. Besides the truth, there is also kindness. My kindness is not about giving and saving disasters, but preaching and preaching. It is the so-called teaching people. It is better to teach a man to fish than to fish. If he is still in the maze, I can save him this time, but I can't save him that time. It is the right way to tell him how to go. The world can only save itself. The young master was with me in the bamboo forest Taking shelter from the rain, I have nothing good to do, of course talking to the young master is all out of a love of beauty."

Zheng Zhao was slightly stunned, and said with a smile, "Young lady's words and deeds come from her heart, it can be said that Taoism follows nature."

Du Fangfeng shook his head and said: "Master, some people love painting and calligraphy, some people love money, and my daughter just loves to practice Taoism. Even though I can talk to you at this moment, but I am at a loss when I ask where the spiritual ginseng must be. Not as good as an alchemist who has no spells."

Looking at the crowd rubbing shoulders, Zheng Zhao said with a smile: "Since the girl feels inferior to the alchemist, let's find an alchemist right now."

Du Fangfeng said: "That's fine, but it's daytime, your inseparable friend hasn't come yet, we can only inquire around, the chance of meeting a liar is far greater than meeting a gentleman."

After the two finished speaking, they asked the passers-by on the side of the street, maybe the market was open that day, and everyone was in a good mood after making money, or the folk customs here are simple, and the passers-by are not surprised by this kind of thing. They are all talkative, but after all, there are only three.

"Two or three miles to the east, there is a birthday shop. The owner's surname is Chen. His mother is a blind old lady. She is very skilled and the price is quite fair. There was a man surnamed Li who cheated on his body after his death. Their family members came here at a gallop. Looking for a blind old woman. Because of this, although the Chen family's birthday cakes are more expensive, everyone is still willing to go."

"If you see a lame Taoist with a banner, don't pay attention to him. If you see him, quickly lower your head and go somewhere else. This lame Taoist has supernatural powers, but he also has a temper. There is no one who walks the streets on weekdays. Where you are staying, you go look for him, he ignores you, you can only wait for him to come to you. But he comes to you, most of the time because you are in trouble, and the time of death is approaching, often the lion will open his mouth. Fortunately, you gave him money , he can save it, and it can be regarded as a disaster avoidance.”

"Young lady, if you want to ask about things on the mountain, you can go to the family named Bai at the foot of the mountain. His family enshrines the Chuma Immortal, and his questions are very effective. He never asks for money. He just asks people to do something, but it's not a difficult thing."

A witch, a crook, and a goblin.

Du Fangfeng laughed and said, "That lame Taoist who hits the banner is so disgusting, but he still manages to get along well, there must be something extraordinary about him."

Zheng Zhao sighed: "Jumen Town is located on Jumen Ridge, and there are outstanding people here. How can it be famous here? According to the townspeople, these three families have their own strengths and weaknesses. It seems that we have to go to the foot of the mountain."

Du Fangfeng thought for a while, and said: "I used to concentrate on the great way and disdain small tricks. Today, I need to ask for help from others. Why don't I visit them one by one."

Zheng Zhao had no purpose in this trip other than to travel with Du Fangfeng. Hearing what she said, of course he had no objection, and walked side by side to the birthday material shop in the east of the city, which was the closest to them.

There are pavilions, tall horses, countless servants and children, and piles of gold ingots, but unfortunately they are all made of paper.

A yawning man with thin temples was lying on his stomach in the birthday material shop, holding a cattail fan in his hand to chase away flies in the air.He noticed Zheng Zhao and the others coming in, raised his eyelids, pointed to the half-covered courtyard door and said, "My mother is inside."

Zheng Zhao nodded, and walked towards the door with Du Fangfeng.

As soon as he reached the door, before he opened it, the man suddenly stretched out his arm to block them, and said impatiently, "Five coins."

Zheng Zhao and Du Fangfeng smiled at each other, took out the silver and put it on the cabinet, and explained: "The shopkeeper is considerate, we are all foreigners, we come here for fame, and we don't know the rules."

Shopkeeper Chen raised his arm, swept the silver into his sleeve, and said, "Money is the rule."

Du Fangfeng Mingwu, it turned out that in the peaceful world, no matter whether it is casting magic or subduing black magic, it is not as good as the golden touch.

In the courtyard, the sun was shining on the ground, and the two knocked on the door of the back room and walked in.The blind old woman was sitting on the kang with the soles of her shoes. Although people called her the blind old woman, her eyes were not blind, but the pupils of those eyes were strangely large, as if the whole eyes were black. When she saw them coming in, she put down her eyes. With the needle and thread in his hand, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Du Fangfeng smiled and said: "We just came here to ask my mother-in-law, do you know about spiritual ginseng?"

Mrs. Chen nodded, and said: "Every household in this Jumen Ridge has never heard of this spiritual ginseng? It's just what I heard. My wife, I have lived for more than 70 years, and I have seen a lot. But this spirit ginseng has never even seen a root beard."

Du Fangfeng said again: "Then where did you hear the news?"

Mrs. Chen said: "There are many rumors about the size of the spirit ginseng, but they are all about the same. Whoever's family met something on the mountain, accidentally ran to a place that he had never been to, was very hungry, and hit him by mistake. Accidentally ate a mouthful of spirit ginseng silk, and immediately my hunger disappeared, my body became strong and healthy, and I was rejuvenated, and when I went down the mountain, I found that thousands of years had passed."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Du Fangfeng and asked, "Why is the girl so interested in these rural rumors? Did you come to Jumen Ridge just to find spiritual ginseng?"

Du Fangfeng nodded calmly, she had nothing to hide about it.

Mrs. Chen sighed and said: "Let me advise you, this Jumen Ridge is too deep, and this spiritual ginseng is too empty."

Du Fangfeng smiled and saluted: "Thank you mother-in-law for reminding us. We know how to measure. When we enter the mountain, we must be followed by someone who is familiar with the mountain road. We will never get lost in the depths. If we don't find it in three months, we won't find it in winter." Go up the mountain and leave after spring begins.”

Mrs. Chen heard the words and said: "The girl seems to be a person who understands many reasons, so the old lady will not say much, but in this world, many things happen for no reason. "After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to put on the soles of her shoes, as if to see off the guests.

Du Fangfeng saluted again and walked out of her longevity shop.Standing on the street, she looked at the paper piles piled up at the door, and said to Zheng Zhao: "The old man has a clear eye for yin and yang, and he has a compassionate heart. He doesn't care about mountain spirits. Let's go to the foot of the mountain."

Zheng Zhaodao: "Perhaps we can meet that Taoist priest playing banners along the way. I think he should be better at fortune-telling."

Fur-clad merchants came and went, and they walked towards the gate of the city amidst the stench.

"Killed, killed, killed!"

Zheng Zhao heard people shouting before seeing the mounds of dirt, but there was not much panic in the shouting, instead it was excitement, even mixed with joy.

Du Fangfeng obviously also heard something strange, stopped someone and asked: "Which young hero is in front of you killing harm for the people?"

"Sun Tiancheng killed the lame Taoist priest with one punch. Everyone is going there." He looked anxious, and ran away after speaking, for fear that he might not see anything later.

Zheng Zhao and Du Fangfeng wanted to find this Taoist priest, but when they heard the news of his death, they were a little surprised, and moved forward together with the flow of people.

Jumen Town was formed not long ago, and there is no name on the fish scale book, and the imperial court has not sent anyone to it, so it naturally has no towers.The people who often live here piled up several mounds of earth as the city wall.This mound of dirt is low, but no taller than two people, and those with good skills can climb it with a single jump.Sun Tiancheng belonged to the group of people with good skills, and he was standing on the mound of dirt and shouting loudly to his fellow villagers.

"I killed this man. Everyone has seen it, and I don't deny it, but the evil way killed me first. Yesterday I heard that the market in the town was open, so I went down the mountain with the furs I accumulated this year. I wanted to find a good merchant to sell it. Finally, I met this demon on the road. He said that my time was approaching, and he asked for the furs I brought. I worked hard for a year, and almost died in the tiger's mouth several times, just because of these furs , so that I can marry a wife. He asked me for it, but of course I wouldn’t give it, so I ignored him, sold the fur and went home. As a result, just last night, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the window, thinking Without even thinking about it, I picked up the knife next to my pillow and slashed into the air, cutting down a black shadow, which turned into two pieces of paper. Then two more black shadows came from outside the door, and I followed I chopped it directly, and this time what fell was a few pieces of wood carved people. After going on like this for a night, when the sun rises, the ground is already covered with paper and sawdust. Seeing this place, how can I not understand, The so-called limit is approaching is the sorcerer's way of using sorcery."

As he spoke, he shook pieces of paper and sawdust from his arms, some of which landed on the body of the crippled Taoist.

The crowd broke out in anger, and several people rushed out to punch and kick the corpse, and then wept bitterly, presumably a relative died because of it.Enraged, those who had no grievances or enmity also rushed out.

Sun Tiancheng jumped down from the mound of dirt, and just as he stabilized his footsteps, he was about to go back to the mountain when he saw the young man and the beautiful woman side by side under the sunset.

"The way of the demon uses the sorcery, Brother Sun breaks it with an ordinary knife, and his martial arts are so powerful that we all admire him."
