Ghost Blowing Lantern II

The Partridge Whistle believes that in the mountains behind Pingshan, there are countless poisons that are nourished by the medicinal properties of the mountain, which will cause serious trouble sooner or later. Regardless of whether they want to steal the ancient tombs in the mountain, they must find ways to eradicate them, but they must Let's search first to see if there are any natural creations near Pingshan that can restrain the poisonous substances in that mountain.

Chen Xiazi is a person who sees opportunities very quickly. After hearing this, he suddenly realized that there is a saying that "the weak can be controlled by the strong, regardless of the shape or size." It is like "three inches of green bamboo leaves can kill a python several feet long." , as long as you find the treasure that can defeat mirages, why worry about not being able to steal the Pingshan Ancient Tomb? His face was moved, he slapped the table and stood up, praising: "Hearing your words, it's like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. I think of those poisons hidden in ancient tombs for hundreds of years, absorbing the medicinal gas in the mountains and the gloom in the underground palace. Once they get the Dao, they will definitely harm the key points." Man, the consequences are unimaginable. Even if we, the thieves from Xiling, are not trying to get the treasures in the tomb, we will definitely kill them. If we can fully perform this meritorious deed, maybe we can use it to become immortals..." He I have never believed in gods, Buddhas or cultivating immortals, but now I want to let Taoist Banshan know that the heroes in Changsheng Mountain are not only robbing tombs to make money, but have always had the heart to save people from fire and water.

The two discussed for a long time and decided to visit several Miao villages near Pingshan Mountain, so they changed their disguises. Although Partridge Whistle had a murderous look on his eyebrows, he had been working in the mountains for a long time, and he knew the local dialects and local customs. , if he were to dress up as a young man from the Bing family, as long as he didn't bump into a big expert in the green forest, he would never show any flaws.

But Blind Man Chen is used to being the helmsman in Changsheng Mountain. He looks like a master of martial arts and is definitely not in the business, so he can only pretend to be a fortune teller or a feng shui master. Otherwise, They are the craftsmen in the seventy-two lines.

So Partridge Shao had to play the role of a "carpenter and ink master" with him. There are many stilt houses in Xiangxi, and carpenters often go to villages and villages to help repair doors and windows, and make a living by trading some mountain goods. This kind of ink master is known in the mountains. Known as "Zhalou Mohist", even in deep mountains and dense forests, as long as there are village residents, there are traces of Zhalou Mohist, which will not arouse any suspicion.

Blind Chen has a very high status. He always brings many followers with him wherever he goes. Now that the mute Kunlun Moleh and Huamaguai have both been broken, how can the bandits in Xiling rest assured that their leader will follow a mountain mover into the mountain? And Mr. Luo Wai's injury was not healed and he could not go with him. In the end, he had to let Miss Hong follow Blind Man Chen and Partridge Whistle. There were twenty other brothers, all armed with fast guns, who were far behind them to covertly respond, because Luo Laowai's troops were behind them. Pingshan was excavated and exploded, causing quite a commotion and alerting several warlords and bandits nearby. Those people were not from the Changsheng Mountain background, but they also coveted the ancient tombs of Pingshan, but these people None of them were as powerful as Luo Laowai, and seeing that the Xieling group had suffered a loss, they didn't dare to act rashly. They just kept sending spies to spy on the movement nearby, hoping to take the opportunity to make some money, so the leader of Xieling wanted to go into the mountain to collect plates. In fact, you have to take a lot of risks, and you have to be fully prepared to avoid unexpected situations.

Partridge Whistle saw this and felt quite disdainful in his heart. He frowned and waited for a long time. Only then did Chen Xiazi finish the deployment, and then along with Partridge Whistle and Miss Hong, the three of them pretended to be Zhalou Mohists walking on the mountain. Teach the kidnapped mature seedling "Dongmanzi" to be the guide and lead the way down Laoxiong Ridge and into the deep mountains.

There are only a few sparsely populated villages near Pingshan Mountain. The nearby Nanzhai Village was frightened by the engineering troops that entered the mountain and fled to avoid the chaos. Under the guidance of Nadongmanzi, Partridge Sentry and others passed through. There is a deep valley in the mountain, leading to Beizhai.

The terrain on this section of the road is even more dangerous. It is almost all virgin jungle and there is no path to follow. Generally speaking, "beautiful scenery" is often used to describe the mountains and waters, and this valley is called "Shadaogou" by the locals. , but it can only be described as "beautiful scenery". What you can see are all strange peaks and strange rocks across the sky. In the canyon hundreds of meters deep, there are thousands of steep and upright stalagmites of different shapes, clusters on the ground. Straight into the blue sky, the valley is filled with seas of clouds and rolling mist. Dangerous rocks and strange rocks appear and disappear in the clouds and mist. Along the way, you can't see all the amazing scenery.

Fortunately, Dongmanzi is familiar with the situation in the mountains and will not get lost in the strange valleys. Moreover, Dongmanzi is timid and fearful. He knows that Chen Xiazi and others are the leaders of the warlords, and they are always careful. How can he have the courage to escape? Besides, this person is still a Smokers who smoke big cigarettes are called "smokers" by the locals. Many soldiers in Luo Laowai's army have two guns. These two guns are "a murder gun and a big smoking gun". After receiving some of his high-quality "luck and longevity ointment", Dong Manzi was originally a poor man. He traveled here and there all his life just to chase some petty profits. He didn't even dream about the high-quality "luck and longevity ointment" on weekdays. Dare to think about it, I have never had so much pleasure in sucking, and I am even more dedicated to serving Blind Man Chen.

One end of Shadaogou is connected to Pingshan, and the other end is Beizhai, the largest nearby. Although the straight-line distance between the two places is not far, the road in between is difficult, and few people go there. Chen Xiazi and others followed Dongmanzi. Traveling through the mountains and ridges all night, it was not until dawn the next day that we finally arrived at the village, hearing the sounds of chickens and dogs.

Beizhai is also known as "Jinfeng Village". As early as thousands of years ago, there were gold seedlings living in the village, specializing in digging gold veins for a living. Nowadays, there are also Yi and Han people in the village. The mountain people get up early at dawn. They came out of the stilted building, everyone was busy with their own work, and it was a bustling scene. Because the world was so chaotic, even though the village was remote in the mountains, it had to be guarded against bandits and bandits coming to loot, so there were organized village warriors in the village, who continued to fight Wearing a local musket, we inspected foreign merchants at the mountain pass.

Chen Xiazi and Partridge Shao were both accustomed to wandering around the world. How could they be trapped by a few mountain people? They were able to cope easily at the mountain pass and easily pretended to be Zhalou Mohists and sneaked into the village. The reason why they had to disguise themselves was mainly because they were in the mountains. The common people hated the warlords and bandits to the core. When they saw the shadows of those demon kings, they would either unleash a row of muskets or they would take their belongings and flee into the mountains. If they wanted to get some real details out, they would have to disguise themselves. to avoid causing unnecessary panic among the locals.

When the villagers in the village saw people coming from outside, they gathered around them curiously to see if they were traders or peddlers. The partridge whistle was really good at hearing them. Seeing that more and more villagers gathered, they started to sing loudly to everyone. He promised, and then he started to praise the carpenter of Zhalou Mohist. The so-called "praise" was a "promotional slogan" that was said to customers when doing business in the old society. To tell the gods, there are some phrases to make good luck, some are sung, some are recited, the troupe has opera praise, the storyteller has book praise, the stretcher has haozi praise, the pig butcher has raw meat praise, just do carpentry. There are dozens of kinds such as Shangliangzan and Kaitangzan.

Partridge Whistle is proficient in all walks of life, and he is also clever. Whatever he learns, he can imitate it. At this moment, he sings a carpentry song in the hall. How can it be compared to the ordinary carpenters working in the mountains? The mountain people are listening to it. He applauded loudly and said, "What a master of ink and craftsmanship, and he sang so well." By now, all the mountain people who were watching didn't like him.

Blind Chen and Miss Hong were listening, and they couldn't help but look at him with admiration. From here, Partridge Whistle looked exactly like a young and handsome carpenter. Every move and every move he made was exactly like him. How could he tell his true identity? He is the leader of the Taoist Banshan Taoist who "kills people in the dark of the moon, sets fire to the wind, digs up ancient tombs, and has skills in dividing armor."

Blind Chen was worried that his limelight would be overshadowed by Partridge Whistle, so he hurriedly came to his aid: "I'll let all the villagers know that even though we, brother and sister, are young ink masters, our craftsmanship in Zha Lou is absolutely perfect. They were all brought out from the mother's womb." He is good at everything from building and tying chairs, to riveting and buckling, and he can handle any carpentry skills..." He brazenly boasted, luckily not revealing that he was the reincarnation of Mr. Lu Ban, a Miao man. He respected Lu Ban very much. It is said that the method of building a building with cave seedlings was taught by Lu Ban. If he exaggerated, his flaws would be exposed and no one would believe him.

The red girl was also a performer in the Moon Gate. Her ability to attract business and shout out praises was not inferior to that of Partridge Whistle and Chen Xiazi. These three people sang and sang in harmony with each other and had a perfect tacit understanding. They quickly defrauded people. Because of the trust of the mountain people, if there was any heavy work, they would find excuses to postpone it to another day and would only do odd jobs. The guide Dong Manzi also ran back and forth and was busy until noon. An old man from the Sa family borrowed a meal from his house, so they had time to do their business.

The customs of the Beizhai Village are similar to those of the Nanzhai Village where Chen Xiazi went before. There is also a "black bird" totem under each stilted building. They are all made of black wood. The color looks very old. Chen Xiazi had not noticed this before, because Xiangxi Influenced by the Wu-Chu culture in ancient times, ancient rock paintings and ancient totems of Xuanniao can be seen everywhere. Although mysterious and weird, there is nothing worth pursuing.

But Partridge Whistle's eyes were more poisonous than Blind Man Chen, and he could see things and people very accurately. He put down his job, saluted the old man, and asked him what the meaning of this black bird pattern was. , and later settled here to avoid chaos. It has been no less than twenty years. When he heard the question from Partridge Whistle, he shook his head: "The black bird is actually the phoenix. Most people in the mountains of western Hunan believe in the black bird. There is a border town in western Hunan. The ancient town is called Fenghuang, and the mountains are shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings. The natives in western Hunan believe that this thing can keep their houses safe. Like this old wood with a black bird carved on it, it is the most common thing among us. Everyone has their ancestors here, and most of the people who come here from outside follow the local customs."

After hearing this, Partridge Whistle and Chen Xiazi nodded secretly in their hearts. As expected, Xuanniao was derived from the Wuchu culture. They wanted to ask deeper, but they couldn't find out anything, so they had to continue eating. , while continuing to look at the situation in this village, looking for anything that can restrain poisons. The village is very close to Pingshan, and the natives are not harmed by things. They must have some secret to restrain poisons, but it may also be "I don't know how to use it every day", so I had to "brighten my tactics and ears" and look for clues everywhere on my own.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a high-pitched rooster crow, and it turned out to be the old man's son. He was catching a big rooster from the chicken coop. Next to it were a large blood-letting bowl and a wooden pier, and a thick-backed rooster. The big kitchen knife was placed on the ground, apparently preparing to kill the rooster.

I saw that big rooster with colorful feathers and a high crest. Although it was captured, it still looked majestic and majestic, and its demeanor was even more arrogant and untamed. It was not angry and proud, and a spirit came out of the crest, soaring into the sky. Very different from ordinary chickens, the rooster's comb is large and red. When the chicken's head moves, the bright red meat comb trembles wildly, as if it is holding a ball of burning flames. The big rooster's whole body feathers are divided into five colors, like citrons. Its claws and claws were sharp and sharp, glowing golden under the noon sun, and its size was twice as big as that of an ordinary rooster.

Partridge Whistle has extraordinary eyesight, and the fundamental principle of the mountain-moving armor-dividing technique, which has been passed down for generations, lies in the four words "restraint and restraint". To understand the principles of restraint and restraint, one needs to know the rare things in the world. When he saw this Just seeing a rooster with colorful feathers, I knew it was extraordinary. I secretly praised it, "It's really a divine thing." A stone fell to the ground in my heart. I didn't expect that "I can't find anything after stepping through iron shoes, and it's not a waste of effort to get it." After half a day at Jinfeng Village, I bumped into it without waiting for further investigation. It seemed that the poisonous mirage in the ancient tomb at Pingshan had landed here.

At this time, the old man's son had already carried the big rooster to the wooden stake. He picked up the kitchen knife and put it in his hand. The momentum was not good, so he coughed hurriedly and shouted: "Hold on!"

The old man and his son were about to kill the chicken, but they were stopped by a young carpenter. They didn't know what he wanted. The old man was annoyed that he was too busy, so he blamed him: "I kill chickens at home and have nothing to do with anyone else. You Don't worry about this Master Mo."

The Partridge Whistle apologized and said, "Don't be offended, I just saw that this rooster is so handsome. How can ordinary poultry have such extraordinary appearance? I don't know why you want to kill a good one? If you are willing to release it under the knife, Xiao Ke is willing to use it." The money redeemed it."

Blind Chen also said: "Could it be that the old gentleman wants to kill chickens to entertain guests... to entertain me? It doesn't have to be like this. We carpenters are only willing to eat meat on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Each person is three taels, and there is a 20% discount." Eight buckles, this is the rule set by the ancestor. It has been a routine since ancient times. I dare not violate it, lest I leave the chicken behind..."

The old man was a disciple of Jinzhai Lei Tan. Although he lived in a remote Miao village in the mountains, he refused to pay attention to a Zhalou Mohist who walked in the mountains: "You young people must not understand these old practices. My family Killing a chicken is not entertaining guests, because it will never survive today. Even if you are willing to pay thousands of gold to redeem it, I will definitely let its head fall to the ground."
