I looked at the printout of the silk script full of words, and looked at the expression of my third uncle. I didn’t understand what he was talking about. Could it be that my uncle has detached himself to the point where he can see the “painting” from the “words”? No matter how you look at it, this old dishonesty who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles on weekdays has no immortal roots.

The third uncle scolded me, and took out his presbyopic eyes to look at this thing, saying that it is called Bazhen Shutu (calligraphy and painting, also called Tibetan painting text), which is to write out the detailed geographical location of a place with a special grammar, which seems to be A bunch of meaningless words, in fact, the information inside is very rich, it is a kind of code used in ancient times when marching and fighting. I said that you don't know a lot of big characters, and where did you hear these skills? He said that this is not learned, it is experience.

I laughed when I heard this, this third uncle has a reckless personality, he is the closest to my grandpa in character, and has a top-notch bragging ability. It is estimated that his friends must have told him about the eight array books, and he really understands. How much is still a question.

The third uncle stared at a few words, and said to himself: "Those who became monks on the way are lucky. I have never come across such things. This time I really picked up a bargain for you."

I asked him where is the map marked? The third uncle frowned and looked at it for a long time, before he said a few words that shocked me: "It seems...fucking is a tomb!"

The Silk Book of the Warring States Period is not a special work, but something similar to a diary or a record of feelings in notes. Some of the things I came into contact with in the early years are very complicated. Although they are of great value for researching the humanistic life at that time, But I don't do archaeology, so it didn't arouse my interest. This time was special. I was busy and asked if I could see whose tomb it was?

The third uncle shook his head and said to me, "I can't fully understand it now, but this tomb should belong to a nobleman in the Lu State during the Warring States Period. You can see that the location of his tomb was recorded on a silk book with calligraphy and painting, which shows that this person The status of the cemetery should be quite high, and this cemetery must be very hidden, it is a good cave, and it is worth visiting."

As soon as I heard that it was a large tomb of the Warring States period, my heart turned upside down. In the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were treasures in the bucket, but at most it could only be said to be ingenious, but the ancient tombs of the royal family during the Warring States period are too old, and you will never It is impossible to estimate what is there, maybe you can get some ancient treasures for you, this kind of temptation cannot be erased by money, and the attraction to grave robbers is naturally infinite.

But I thought about it again, I have no chance to go anyway, and it’s useless to be excited. My tutor is terrible, and my father insists on letting our generation completely get rid of the bottom line. My two cousins ​​and I have never touched this business. Luoyang shovels are contraband. When I was a child, I just stuck fish in the river with a needle shovel, but my father did not beat me to death.

The third uncle is the only one in the family who is not married and has children. He has a relatively unruly personality. He has always had opinions on my father's behavior. Now seeing me like this, he just shook his head: "I said you are really honest. Yes, your father said that you are not allowed to go down, so you really dare not go down, you are in your twenties, what are you afraid of, afraid that he will beat you? If you beat me, I will beat you, and it will not kill you. I am like you When you grow up, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want, your grandpa can't control it."

I said it was, who are you, who in Sanliting, Hangzhou doesn't know that your third master Wu's farts are delicious.

The third uncle gave me a blank look, lit a cigarette, and said that he would take me to see him if he had a chance, and he would go secretly to prevent my father from knowing that the Wu family has been begging for life underground for hundreds of years. Just stop it.

I don't know if he took it seriously, and I didn't take it seriously. The two chatted for a long time, and I drank half a catty of liquor before I knew it. I didn't open it either, so I called and went home.

When I returned to the small rented house on the other side of the stone bridge, the sky was turning white. I sent a message to Wang Meng and told him to open the shop by himself. I lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

This sleep lasted until noon,

He didn't sleep well, and there were a lot of strange images in his mind that looked like dreams but not dreams, such as ancient tombs, zombies, mixed with some peachy images, it was a hodgepodge.

When I woke up, I was suddenly panicked, I don’t know why, I got up and washed my face, I wanted to find some fun on the Internet, but I found it was not easy to get on the Internet, so I had to light a cigarette and go to the balcony to smoke, looking at the rural areas below The female landlord is playing mahjong in the courtyard.

After thinking in a daze for a long time, I realized that I was thinking about the ancient tomb that my third uncle mentioned, so I called my third uncle and asked him what he planned to do, whether to ask his subordinates to go or go by himself, what can I do? For help, the third uncle said that he would wait until he had thought about it himself, and hung up the phone.

In the next few days, I didn't know why, I was out of my mind, and I always felt uncomfortable, so I called my third uncle every half day, chattering about, asking him about the situation of the ancient tomb in different ways.

The third uncle heard something on the other end of the phone, and laughed straight there: "Don't talk about it, I know what you are thinking, tell me the truth, is it itchy, and want to go to the ground to see What? There's nothing hard to say about this, he's still rambling on like a bitch for a long time."

When I heard it, it seemed that this was what I meant, and I didn’t realize it, so I was a little embarrassed, so I just said that the ghost knows what you said last night. It didn’t count, and you drank so much, maybe you forgot. The third uncle laughed for a long time on the phone, and said that if you really want to go, come here immediately, there are many things to prepare. As soon as I heard it, I almost went crazy and shouted, just let me pull the ox cart.

I rushed to the third uncle's side, who was calling Mangshan, saying that he wanted to send some experienced guys over. He wrote a note to me while talking, asking me to help him make some things. He also told me: "Don't buy fake products. Also, come out with a travel outfit, or we will detain you before we get to the place." I hurriedly nodded and agreed, and then went to work separately.

Uncle San asked for tricky things. I’m afraid he wanted to make things difficult for me. The items on this list are generally not available in stores, such as split waterproof miner’s lamps, threaded steel pipes, archaeological shovel heads, multi-purpose sabers, folding shovels, and short handles. Hammers, bandages, nylon rope, and more. It cost nearly 10,000 yuan to buy only 1/2, and some things have to be ordered first.

But these are still good, the most troublesome thing is to buy a gun on the list, the third uncle estimates that this time he will go into the old forest, without a gun, nothing will happen, not to mention monsters and ghosts, even a wild boar is enough for us, the gun must be To buy, and not yet available*. I had no way out, so I ran to the flea market all day long, asking around, black and white, and finally got a few second-hand double-barreled shotguns. gun.

***************************************************** *****

Three days later, my group of five boarded a long-distance bus bound for Linyi, Shandong.

This time the third uncle brought a total of three people, two of them I have met before, they are all real people, and the chat is very open, the third is the kid I saw carrying the sword box downstairs, I don’t know What is the relationship with the third uncle, and also followed. But this kid is very annoying, he dragged the oil bottle all the way, didn't fart a single fart all the way, just looked straight at the sky, as if the melancholy sky would fall down! I talked to him a few words at the beginning, but then I just ignored him and didn't even know his name.

The car was speeding at high speed, and the journey was long. We passed the time by sleeping, and we were always in a daze. After twelve hours of turbulence, we arrived in Linyi.

Linyi was the seat of the State of Lu in ancient times. It is located in a hilly area and located in the sun of Mount Tai. The third uncle compared all the terrain within the range of Gulu State and Qi State, and set the main target on Mengshan, the two mountains of Linyi and Yimeng. . Because of the lack of data, we don't know whether that place was in the territory of Lu State or Qi State at that time, and it is only a step to take a good step.

Mengshan was called Dongmeng and Dongshan in ancient times. It is located in Pingyi County, Shandong Province. It is located in the northwest of Linyi, Shandong Province. It is a branch of the Taiyi Mountain System. The county runs from northwest to southeast and stretches for more than 70 kilometers. There are several tourism developments that have been relatively complete. We bought some tourist maps, and after comparing them, we found that they did not match the maps in our hands. The place we are looking for is probably in the mountains. more inside.

I found a few local mountain tour guides and asked them about the ancient place names marked on the map, but there was no result. The area has experienced wars for a long time, and many villages were burned to the ground by the devils during the Anti-Japanese War. It is very difficult to explore. The 5 people were at a loss. They wandered around several scenic spots and decided to go to the mountains first. We got on the local bus and sat until the Guazi Temple was more than 40 kilometers west, then changed to the dirt bike and went to the small road Walk in, and finally take a bullock cart to turn around the dirt road on the mountain. When we got off the bullock cart, we found that there was nothing modern in sight except for the endless hills.

We thought we had reached the place, so we all jumped out of the bullock cart. At this time, a dog ran in front. My third uncle was very happy when he saw it. He patted the old man driving the cow and joked with him, "Old man, the next journey Shall we ride this dog, I'm afraid this dog is tough enough!"

"How can you ride a dog?" The old man laughed loudly: "This dog is used to announce the news. For this last journey, there are no cars. It has to be a boat. The dog will bring the boat."

As he said that, he drove the ox cart down a slope, and we followed in a hurry. The hills here are different from those in the south. The altitude is high, because there has been no human activity for many years, the shrubs are very dense, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of eroded soil. The mud is black, and sometimes it can reach your knees when you step down. . We cut off a few branches to use as crutches, and explored the way as we walked, walking very carefully.

After descending into the valley, there was a green mountain stream in front of me, with the width of five or six boats, and the depth of the water could not be seen. On both sides of the stream, except for a flat mountain rock where we were standing, other places were towering. On the cliff, the canopy of the trees above is covered with branches and leaves, and the sun is covered with thick shade, covering most of the sun, which makes the surrounding temperature drop by several degrees.

The third uncle supported the back of the bullock cart and asked the old man, "This dog can swim?"

"It's a good swim, it's a good swim." The old man sat in the car and tapped the dog's head with a pipe: "Donkey Dandan, go swim and have a look."

The dog was really intelligent, jumped into the river with a "woof", and swam around. He came up to shake his hair, and stuck out his tongue on the ground.

We were all happy, the old man looked at the sky and said to us: "It's still too early, the boatman must not have started work yet, let's take a break and smoke a cigarette."

I looked at my watch: "We haven't started work at 2:00 p.m. What is your boatman's work and rest time?"

"He is the only boatman here. He is the most powerful. When he wakes up and starts working, sometimes he doesn't start working for a day. He can kill people in a hurry." With such a boat family, he can do whatever he wants, and the village chief can't help him."

"Then why don't you hold a congress and remove him and replace him with a smarter person?" Third Uncle asked him.

"We also thought that you are from other places. I don't know. The mountain god here only sells his face. Once others enter the cave, they will definitely not be able to get out. He can go there with him, and he doesn't know how to clean up the ground. "

"Ah, there is a cave ahead?" The third uncle was taken aback, and immediately took out the map. After looking at it, he seemed to suddenly realize: "It's really a river cave, how old man, this cave can still eat human?"

The old man chuckled: "That's the words left by the previous generations, and I can't remember clearly. I heard from my family that they said it, but I don't know if it's true."

When we heard it, we thought it might have something to do with the ancient tomb, so we hurriedly asked him to talk about it. The old man saw that we were interested and got excited, so he chatted with us for a while after smoking a cigarette.

It turned out that the cave was already there before the village. Unfortunately, no one knew that the two ends of the cave were connected. The cave was very strange, and people could not get out after entering it. Over time, the village said that there was a snake spirit in the cave. , Hidden piles were placed in the water to prevent the boat from entering. .

Then one day, suddenly a man propped a small boat from the cave and appeared at the edge of the village, saying that he was a shopkeeper from outside. Fortunately, there were a few daughters-in-law from the next village in the township at that time. When they heard this man's Xiangxi accent, they recognized him and said that he was a real shopkeeper. .

A few clan heads ran to the next village to ask about it, and it was true, so they let him go. Since then, the cave seems to have recognized someone. Only the boatman's family can go straight in and out, and there has been no mistake for hundreds of years.

"Is that dog okay?" I wondered, "Didn't you use it to report the letter?"

"Then I don't know, the old man. They say it's passed down from generation to generation. Who knows if it's true." The old man tapped the pipe on the ground. "We seldom take this waterway. There is a mountain road on the top of the mountain. We usually go there, but you have too many things. The mountain has been uneven in recent years. It keeps dropping rocks. It's not a big deal. Let’s play several times, let’s not dispute this tone, just wait and wait.”

I looked from below and found that the mountains here are tall and straight, and the mountains are piled up. I can't see other passers-by, and I don't know if what he said is true. The third uncle was fascinated by the old man's words. He thought for a while, Clap your hands: "Donkey Dandan, come here"

That dog was really obedient, and Pidianpidian ran over. When the third uncle picked him up and smelled it, his face changed: "My grandma, why does it smell like this..."

I picked it up and smelled it, and I coughed because of the choking smell of dog. The owner of this dog is really lazy. I don’t know how long it has been since he bathed the dog.

One of his buddies named Pan Zi laughed loudly: "You want to imitate your third uncle, but you are still young."

"This dead dog, why is it so smelly!" I grinned disgustedly.

"Pan Zi, come and smell it too!" The third uncle beckoned.

"I, don't want it," Pan Zi said, "I can't bear the smell of dog smell the most, and I'll be ashamed if I spit it out later."

"Don't be so wordy, come and smell it, this dog smells so weird."

Pan Zi had no choice but to walk over, lifted the dog up and shook it by his nose, and his expression changed immediately: "This, it's the smell of corpses..."

"No way..." I was so scared that I stood upside down, and even the expression of the silent boy changed.

The third uncle lit a cigarette, looked at the dog with a frown, and said to us: "Take all the guys, the cave in front is probably a corpse cave, cheer me up."

My third uncle's other buddy is a big man, we call him Akui, he is about the size of the ox pulling the cart, but he is timid, so he asked softly, "What the hell is that corpse hole?"

"I don't know. A few years ago, I also found such a hole in Taiyuan, Shanxi. It was the place where the Japanese massacred and piled up corpses. Wherever there are corpse holes, there must be massacres. This is for sure. It was fun to watch at that time. To do an experiment, put dogs and ducks on the bamboo row, then set up the camera, push it in, the hole is at most 1 kilometer, I prepared a long enough cable, but when the cables are all pulled out, the bamboo row They didn't even come out, it was pitch black inside, and I didn't know where they had drifted, and then I wanted to pull out the bamboo raft, and after a few pulls, the bamboo raft suddenly tipped over, and then..." The third uncle spread his hands , "I only saw half of the face in the end, and it was too close to the screen to tell if it was an animal or something. To go through this kind of hole, in ancient times, a row of dead people and living people passed by one at a time. If a living thing , You can’t get out if you go in! However, I heard that people in a certain place in western Hunan fed their children to eat dead human flesh since they were young, accumulating corpse gas in their bodies. When they grow up, they are no different from dead people, even ghosts. I can't see him. Old man, your boatman ancestor came from Xiangxi, right?"

The old man's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head: "I don't know, it happened at the time of his great-grandfather, and he didn't belong to a dynasty." He looked at the sky and barked at the dog: "Donkey egg!" Dan, go and bring your boat over here!" The dog whined, jumped into the water and swam to the back of the mountain.

At this time, I saw that the third uncle winked at Pan Zi. Pan Zi secretly took out a backpack from the luggage and put it on his back. The young man who was sitting on the side also stood up and took out a backpack from the luggage pile My own bag, when Pan Zi walked behind me, he whispered in Hangzhou dialect: "This old man has a problem, be careful."
