From a large perspective, Longling is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains.
From a small perspective, it is actually a dotted hillock.
One mound is next to another, and there is a huge difference in height.
The mounds are cut to pieces by rain and strong winds.
There are countless deep ditches, and there are some places where there is a shell of earth outside, but once you step on it, Broken, there is a hollow inside.
It seems that the straight line distance between the two hills is very close, but it takes half a day to walk from one side to the other.
This place is so little known that it doesn’t even have a unified name.
People near Gulan County call this mountain Longling.
However, the villagers living nearby call this area Panshepo.
Panshepo is far less powerful than the name Longling, but it is more intuitive and vivid to describe the topography here than the latter.
Fatty, Da Jinya, and I left Gulan County at nine in the morning.
We took buses on the sections where buses were available, and drove No. 11 where there were no buses.
We inquired all the way and when we arrived at Longling, it was already dark.
There is a small village at the foot of Longling Mountain, with about twenty households in the village.
It's getting late now, and it's not easy to find the Fish Bone Temple.
The mountain road is difficult to navigate.
Don't accidentally fall into a ditch, otherwise you'll die before you get out of the way.
You might as well stay overnight in the village first.
Let’s wait until tomorrow morning to talk about anything.
We found a nearby house at the entrance of the village, explained our purpose to the owner, and set out on our way.
We had no way to go to the village or shop.
Could it be convenient for us to stay overnight?
We could pay some money if we didn't stay in vain.
The owners of this household were an old couple.
When they saw the three of us carrying large and small packages and two big white geese that were jumping around, they became a little confused and didn't know what our group was doing.
The fat man quickly said to them with a smile on his face: "Uncle and aunt, we were going to visit our comrades who were in the army.
We passed by here and missed Sutou.
You see, we are also going out.
It is not easy.
No one takes the house with him when he goes out.
Can't you please do us a favor and find us a room for the three of us to spend the night with?
You can take the twenty yuan."
After saying that, he took out the money regardless of whether he wanted it or not.
Come give it to the old couple.
Seeing that we didn't look like bad people, the old couple readily agreed and gave us a room.
It seemed that no one had lived in it for several years.
When the fat man saw that there were buckets and poles in the courtyard, he said to me: "Old Hu, go get two big buckets of water quickly."
I wondered: "Why are you fetching water?
Isn't there water in the kettle?"
The fat man said: "When you People's Liberation Army troops live in a fellow villager's house, don't you have to fill the water tank in the fellow villager's house, and then clean the yard and repair the roof?"
I said to the fat man: "You talk so much nonsense.
I'm not familiar with this.
I don't know where the well is.
I went out in the dark and turned around again.
What should I do if I can't come back?

Also, I'll ask them about it later."
The situation around here.
Don’t talk too much.
If you can, say as little as you can.
Don’t forget to speak too much.”
While they were talking, the old couple scrambled some eggs for us, got two pot helmets, and brought them into the house.
I thanked him profusely, got close to the owner while eating, and asked who had lived in this house before.
Unexpectedly, when asked this question, the old man and the old lady burst into tears.
This house was originally occupied by their only son.
Ten years ago, their son went into Panshepo to look for a lost lamb at home, but he never came back.
The villagers searched for it for three or four days, but they didn't even find the body.
They must have fallen into a hollow in the earth shell or into a maze in the mountain.
The only son was gone, and there was no one to take care of him until he died.
In these years, he had to rely on the help of his fellow villagers to survive.
The fat man and I and others felt sad after hearing this, so we took some more money to give to them.
The old couple thanked them profusely and even said that they had met a good person.
I asked some more about the situation, but the old couple said that there are no ancient tombs from the Tang Dynasty in Panshepo.
I only heard people from the older generation mentioning that there was a large tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and that this tomb was so haunted that it even In broad daylight, people encountered ghosts building walls on the slopes, and got lost on the slope at the bottom of the ditch.
If they were lucky, they would be rescued by someone, but if they were unlucky, they would be trapped in it and die.
The local people call this area "coiled snake", which means that the roads are complicated and it is easy to get lost.
The Longling Mysterious Cave refers to the caves in the mountains, which are crisscrossed and crisscrossed.
It is simply a large natural maze.
As for the old site of the Fish Bone Temple, it does still exist, but it has been abandoned for decades.
After leaving the village and turning two ridges, there is a deep ditch.
The Fish Bone Temple is at the end of that ditch.
When the temple was built, The businessman who paid for it said that it was in a feng shui position, and building the Dragon King Temple would ensure smooth weather.
Unexpectedly, after the temple was built, nothing changed.
If God wants it to rain, it will rain.
If God doesn’t want it, it will give you drought for a few years.
Burning incense and making offerings are of no use, so the incense in that temple has been cut off, and few people go there anymore. .
I said, "When we were crossing the Yellow River, the Dragon King almost capsized the boat, so we were curious and wanted to go to the Fish Bone Temple to see the bones of the Iron-headed Dragon King."
The old couple said that it's okay if you want to go to the Fish Bone Temple, but you must not go deep into the Panshe Slope.
Even the natives of this village can easily get lost, let alone you three outsiders.
I nodded in thanks, and by now I had almost eaten, so I started to help clean up, and took the bowls and chopsticks out of the house.
Walking in the courtyard, Big Gold Tooth suddenly whispered to me: "Master Hu, there is something in this courtyard."
Good stuff” I looked back and saw Da Jinya pointing at a big stone in the courtyard: "This is a monument.
It has been around for many years."
I didn't say anything, nodded to show that I understood, and helped clear away the dishes.
The old couple went back to their room to sleep, and the three of us gathered around the courtyard, pretending to smoke and chat, and secretly looked at the stone tablet that Big Gold Tooth mentioned.
If it hadn't been for the big gold-toothed thief, we wouldn't have discovered that this rectangular stone tablet was very badly worn, with several deep stone grooves carved in the middle, which looked like they might have been used to tie animals.
There is only half of the stele, and there is half a mutilated animal head on the top of the stele.
The text and patterns on the stele have long been gone.
Without this half of the animal head, it is impossible to tell that this is a stone stele.
The fat man asked the big gold tooth: "This is the good thing you said.
I think it might have been valuable before, but now it is just a big stone.

Look, everything on it has been smoothed.
How many years has it been used?"
” Da Jinya smoked a cigarette and said: "Fat Master, I'm not saying that this stone tablet is valuable.
This broken tablet is definitely not valuable now.
There is only half an animal head left, and it may not even have research value.
It's a pity.
But.
Don't forget, our ancestors also fought against each other Yes, the reason why I say this is a good thing is not without reason.
Just looking at the half-animal head on this broken monument, I dare to conclude that there must be an ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty in Longling, but the specific location Well, we have to see what Master Hu can do tomorrow."
I reached out and touched the animal head on the stone tablet, and said to Big Gold Tooth: "You mean this is a tombstone?"
Da Jinya said: "Even if it is a tombstone, although the animal head on this monument is broken, I can still tell that this animal is called Lelan.
In the Tang Dynasty, when the country was very powerful, they built tombs in the mountains, using the mountains as their base.
The mausoleum also has some corresponding facilities on the ground, erecting some stone tablets and statues, stone camels, stone suanni, etc.
As a symbol of guarding the mausoleum, this Lelan is a kind of auspicious beast that lies on the stone tablet.
It is said that it is a spiritual beast from the West.
It has a pleasant sound, like fairy music.
From this, it can be inferred that the stone tablet should be about singing praises and the like.
"In the first eighteen miles of the mausoleum, there are two pairs of stone tablets every other mile."
I said, "Master Jin, you may not understand Feng Shui, but your knowledge of ancient history and culture is beyond my reach.
Let's not talk about it in the courtyard and go back to the house to discuss it."
We returned to the house to continue planning, and now we have arrived at the edge of Longling.
From the current clues, it is certain that there is an ancient tomb here, but whether this tomb is from the Tang Dynasty or the Western Zhou Dynasty is somewhat contradictory.
Judging from the tombstones, there is no doubt that it is a large tomb from the Tang Dynasty, which is also consistent with what Old Liu Tou said at the guest house in Gulan County.
But how do the local villagers say that this mountain is an ancient tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty?
Da Jinya asked me: "Do you think it is possible that there are many acupuncture points in a feng shui treasure vein that can be used to set up mausoleums?"
I said: "That's true, but it's impossible for a whole line of land to be a good place.
There are high and low points in each place.
The best location is often only enough to build a tomb.
However, it does not rule out the possibility of building a tomb in the two dynasties.
Ancient tombs are all about the possibility of an acupuncture point."
I asked Fatty and Da Jinya to recharge their batteries tonight.
Early tomorrow morning, no matter whether it is Longling or Snake Slope, we will go and have a good look at the place.
In addition, there may be many antiques that have not been discovered in this village.
When I come back, I will visit the homes of local fellow villagers to have a look
