Ghost Blowing Lantern II

The Partridge Whistle saw a group of thieves about to shoot. He had a change of heart and hurriedly told Blind Man Chen not to use guns. The reason why the chickens were singing strangely must be because the dead man in black robe had something poisonous on him. , don't rely on the power of the equipment and be careless, otherwise the poison will be splashed out, and this tunnel will be inaccessible.

Blind Chen suddenly understood and said hurriedly: "All heroes have the same idea. The bullets in the gun are used to strengthen the fire. I was about to ask the boys to use hooks to set up." Then he ordered a dozen of his men to come up. He went forward, looked out into the fog and put the "centipede hanging mountain ladder" on the body of the man in black robe and pulled him backwards.

The group of thieves ordered to take action, and after a series of dragging, they used a bamboo ladder to drag the black-robed man who was sitting cross-legged into the iron wall. The rest of the men "had their guns loaded and their knives unsheathed" and surrounded them as if facing a formidable enemy. Looking around, I pulled it closer and saw that it was indeed a strange-looking zombie, that is, an ancient corpse that was dead but not rotten.

This black-robed male corpse was tall and fat, sitting cross-legged, with a strange finger in his hand. He was indeed wearing the outfit of a ghost on the stage. He was pulled by the bamboo ladder, and the clothes that had begun to decay long ago were all in pieces. It cracked open, revealing that the swollen flesh on the body was white as if soaked in water. When touched with a bamboo ladder, thick liquid flowed out. There was black powder in the ears, eyes, mouth and nose. He may have died from bleeding from the seven orifices. In this dress But there was no way to tell which dynasty or generation it was from. The boots and robes were all rotten, so it was expected that he had died quite a long time ago.

Seeing that they were just stiff ancient corpses, the thieves felt relieved and cursed one after another: "You damn ghost, you look like this. You almost scared the gall of your grandpas just now..."

Blind Chen felt that the corpse was dead in a strange way, so he led a group of thieves to check it out. The ancient corpse was filled with poison, but it did not appear to be the common centipede poison in Pingshan. If they were contaminated with poisonous pus, they used bamboo sticks to turn over the corpse and clean out the things on the dead body one by one. They found that they were all medicine bottles and jars, as well as puppet humanoid limbs made of paper and wood, and a large skin bag. Inside were all dark and hard beans, which made everyone feel confused and didn't know what these various things were.

Finally, a famous gangster used a bamboo stick to pick out a gold medal from the black robe around the waist of the corpse. There were characters cast on it. Both Chen Xiazi and Partridge Whistle recognized the ancient documents. When they took a closer look, they saw that it was four vigorous and upright old men. The seal script reads "Guanshan Taibao".

When the two of them saw this object, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up in their minds like dark clouds in the sky, and they suddenly remembered a past event that had been sealed for many years. It turned out that there were other tomb robbers in the Pingshan Ancient Tomb, and someone had already arrived first! The two said in unison: "It turns out to be the Taibao of Guanshan of the Ming Dynasty!"

Blind Chen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then hurriedly had the body dragged to the brick furnace for burning elixirs and burned. Then he turned to ask Partridge Whistle: "The matter of mountain viewing is complicated and confusing. In the past, it was just a legend and unofficial history that could not be made true." , So there is really a mountain-watching Taibao in this world? My dear brother has traveled all over the world, have you ever heard of the details?"

Partridge Whistle's knowledge of this matter is not much more than that of Blind Man Chen. Therefore, it is said that among the tomb robbers in the world, the names and traditions are only "Fa Mounds, Touch Gold, Move Mountains, and Unload Mountains." There are four branches, actually three branches, because Faqiu Tianguan and Mojin Xiaowei are the same thing. After the Faqiu seal is destroyed, only Mojin Xiaowei is left in the world, and the rest are the numbers of people. The heavy-duty mountain-moving warrior, and the unpredictable mountain-moving Taoist.

Except for these three branches, they are all loose thieves and civilian thieves. The ones with a little bit of fame are just the ones from the south who carry corpses and dig through the trunks. The rest are not worth mentioning, but in the past few hundred In the history of tomb robbing for many years, this extremely mysterious legend has always been circulated. It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, there was a group of thieves called "Guanshan Taibao" who were good at "watching mountains and pointing out the mystery" and secretly excavated many emperors' tombs. No one knows the methods and motives of tomb robbers. Once something is done, even the gods can’t guess it. The legend is limited to this. People in the world don’t know much about them anymore. Even the legendary mountain viewing deeds are true or false. It's hard to judge.

Unexpectedly, today I bumped into the body of a mountain-watching Taibao in the tunnel behind the exposed house in Pingshan. Seeing the strange appearance and behavior of this man and the strange things he carried, it was really strange that he had never seen it before in his life. Blind man Chen thought of it when he went there before Among the thousands of burglars who live in hundreds of households, there is a good practice of "shrinking bones", which is a thief's method. He can drill a dog's hole or a mouse's hole into a closed courtyard, steal money and goods inside, and then sneak back the same way. Back.

But this evil method is limited by time. Once it is delayed, the thief will die in the house. However, this is just a rumor in the market. Although there is a bone-shrinking technique to break the shackles, it only removes the joints of the body. It cannot drill holes through cats and dogs, but there is another puppet technique that is similar to the corpse control technique. It can control the paper man or paper dog to get into the cracks in the door wall and steal. The control principle is not to attach the soul to the paper, but to drive a large number of insects and ants. Robbery, even Blind Chen didn't know the specific circumstances.

Looking at the paper-cut man in the Iron Pavilion and the "Guanshan Taibao" who died outside the gate, it seems that they are also using evil methods to steal the elixirs in the Iron Pavilion. In order to avoid being bitten by the mountain centipedes, this Guanshan tomb robber After pouring potion into his body, he was able to sneak into this place, but it seemed that the layout of the Iron Tower Corpse Gui was beyond his expectation. It took too long, and he ended up dying here after running out of skills.

Chen Xiazi deduced from his own experience that the tomb robbing methods of the "Daming Guanshan Taibao" were weird and cunning. Those who were not experts would not be able to see these details. The Xiling group of thieves went to great lengths to rob the Pingshan ancient tomb. They tried their best, not only wasting money and materials, but also losing many people. Unexpectedly, they encountered a "second entry into the palace", which was hundreds of years behind the "Guanshan Taibao".

However, seeing that this black man died in the tunnel, with no visible treasures on him, and no one collected his body, this is enough to show that although he entered Pingshan Mountain to steal the treasure first, he did not have any other accomplices accompanying him. If there is really a large ancient tomb in the mountain, the tomb chamber Most of the things inside are still in good condition.

Blind Chen thought of this and felt a little calmer. From ancient times to the present, there has never been any grudge between the organized tomb robbing organizations, and they are completely in a state of non-interference with each other. If anyone is one step later than others, he will not be able to do it until the next step. When fighting over an ancient tomb, if you find that someone else has visited the tomb beforehand, you will only consider yourself unlucky at most. Therefore, the thieves did not respond to the discovery of an ancient corpse wearing a "Guanshan" waistband in the tomb. He didn't take it too seriously. After all, he was an ancient man who had died for two dynasties. After burning the body in the secret room of the brick furnace, he stopped paying attention to it.

After seeing the treasures and artifacts emptied under the old osmanthus tree, the thieves sent out a few spies with clever hands and feet to explore the tunnel first. The rest of the group followed Blind Man Chen and Partridge Whistle behind. The tunnel built in the heart of the mountain is twists and turns. As the mountain slowly goes up, after walking out for a while, the stone path gradually becomes higher and higher, and suddenly turns into a stone staircase. Climbing up, you will find another narrow cave. The cover of the secret entrance has been removed. , everyone came out of the cave with candles and candles, and in front of them was the ruins of a palace with broken citrons and tiles.

Sure enough, as Chen Xiazi expected, this is the back hall where you enter from the most. The passage between the "back hall" and the "Wuliang Hall" of the Dan Palace was sealed by the Yuan people with huge rocks and lead water. Chen Xiazi and others were burned down when they fled. The secret passage connecting the Danjing is hidden in the rockery in the garden. It is extremely hidden. If you don't drill out from inside, it will be difficult to find it from the back hall.

When he arrived here, Chen Xiazi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. All the centipedes hidden in the mountains had been wiped out, but he still couldn't find any trace of the tomb. Everywhere was a tomb in the virtual domain. He couldn't help but secretly cursed the Yuan people for being cunning. The most difficult thing to steal in the capital is the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty. Due to the compatibility of various cultures in the Yuan Dynasty, even if they were the same aristocratic princes, their burial methods and customs were very different. The layout and location of the tombs have many traces of the deserts of the Western Regions. The customs of the North are mixed with the mysteries of the Feng Shui dragon veins of the Central Plains. The box tombs buried upside down are the product of this special period. Therefore, most of the craftsmen who robbed the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty were accidentally digging. The ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty have always been a "blind spot" in the tomb robbing industry.

At this time, Chen Blind's subordinates gave him an idea. Since he couldn't find the treasure in the tomb, why not use the "urn listening method" to find out? This urn listening method is to dig a hole in the mountain, bury an urn large enough to hold a person, and then the tomb robber crouches in the urn, which is equivalent to being in the ground, using the giant urn to amplify the ear sound and listen to the underground The orientation of space.

Blind Chen shook his head. This was obviously a layman's talk. The urn listening method can only detect the ground below the position where the urn is buried. It is mostly used in the soil layer. The mountain of Pingshan is tilted to the point of collapse, and it is full of blue rocks and large rocks. I couldn't use this method. In addition, when I first visited Pingshan, I had already heard about the mountain using the word "hear". I could only discern that there were vast caves in the mountain, one after another. Because there were too many caves, it affected the underground echo. Precisely, even if Chen Xiazi's hearing was superior to that of ordinary people, he still couldn't discern the contours of the interior of the mountain, so he didn't use his words.

Now that I have searched all the "Wengcheng, Wuliangdan Palace, Corpse Well, Iron Pavilion, and Back Hall", I can't find where the Yuan Dynasty general is buried. I have to wonder if there is no seal or tree on the tomb site. , the tomb was also backfilled with soil, and there was no space gap at all. If the tomb was really compacted with soil, it would be impossible to find it in the complex terrain of Pingshan. If the Yuan people did not follow the Feng Shui situation, it would be difficult for the Yuan people to move in to touch Jin Xiaowei for help. Use Fenjin Dingxue to hit Huanglong directly.

However, Chen Xiazi also understood that although he had obtained many rare things this time, he could not find the real tomb. Even if he lost his hand and lost such a huge sum of money, he finally came back in vain. He was the helmsman. From now on, the leader of thieves will never have the face to argue with the people in the world.

When they were in trouble, Partridge Whistle suddenly had a calculation. Although the method of robbing tombs in Wendi was miraculous, the scale of the Alchemy Palace in Pingshan Mountain was so huge that the group of thieves devoted all their spiritual life here, but ignored the topography of the mountain. Pingshan is like a treasure bottle dropped to the ground by an immortal holding elixirs. The mountain is shaped like an ancient vase, and the belly of the mountain is as hollow as the belly of the bottle. The alchemy palaces and treasure halls are all built in it. Therefore, all tomb robbers who come here keep their eyes on the caves. The bottle mouth on the top of the mountain was ignored.

Ancient mausoleums were all built underground. Even for mountain mausoleums that "cut the mountain to make a coffin and pierced the stone to make a hide", the tomb chamber was deep in the mountain. But how can the ancient tombs of Pingshan be judged by common sense? Maybe the location of the tomb is completely opposite to the ancient tombs in the world. It may be built at the top of the mountain, but at the bottom of the mountain, there are empty tombs and suspicious tombs to disturb the view.

The top of Pingshan Mountain is extremely dangerous. If the ancient tomb is really hidden on it, the large group of Xiling bandits will not be able to use it at all. This contrary strategy is indeed unexpected, but Partridge Whistle is scheming. He is very sensitive and has rich experience in tomb robbing. After two trips in the mountains, he guessed this possibility.

Chen Xiazi is not inferior to Taoist Banshan Taoist in terms of intelligence and strategy. However, he leads the world's thieves. His plans are huge and his tasks are complicated. When encountering difficulties, he is not as clear-minded and thorough as Partridge Gushao. Therefore, he has never thought of this plot. , when he heard the partridge whistle say, he suddenly woke up and said: "What a word to wake up the dreamer!" The Yuan people built the tomb in Pingshan Dan Palace with the intention of suppressing the Dongyi. It is indeed rare to find a mausoleum with a "weary of winning" method. However, the "weary of winning" method used by Zhalou Mohist to build a balcony is precisely to locate it high in the house. The Pingshan Ancient Tomb must be hidden on the top of the mountain.

(Note: Weary of winning means "suppression, subjugation, restraint, suppression, warding off evil", also known as "suppressing victory")

Blind Chen made up his mind, but saw that the Xiling bandits and engineers were already a little exhausted, especially among them there were many "smokers" who were addicted to cigarettes and were even more exhausted. Seeing the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty I still don’t know where it is hidden, and I can’t even move forward under my feet.

Blind Chen had no choice but to encourage everyone: "Brothers, according to our practice in Changsheng Mountain, whenever a large ancient tomb is excavated, a lot of money will inevitably be needed. Today is the auspicious day for a reverse fight. Although we encountered many enemies along the way, These twists and turns caused the death of more than a hundred brothers in Pingshan, but these are aspiring sons and daughters among heroes, and they are also our sworn brothers. They will surely ascend to heaven early, and bless us with great blessings from above. We will be with them in this life. We are not allowed to meet each other again, but we have to continue the friendship of Taoyuan in the next life..."

Blind Chen first introduced the words "profit and righteousness" to everyone, and then reminded the thieves that they must remember that they had made a big curse before entering the mountain. If they don't steal the bottle mountain, they will never return it. Although people in the green forest don't believe in ghosts and gods, However, the behavior of swearing and swearing is taken very seriously. Breaking the oath is called "breaking the curse" and is shameful to everyone. There are many remarkable deeds recorded in the history of the Qing Dynasty as evidence: Emperor Wu of Liang did not believe in the curse. There was no one to take over Taicheng because of starvation; during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luo Cheng, the silver spear general, did not believe in the curse and became a short-lived man at the age of thirty-two; Song Gongming, who lived in Liangshan, did not believe in the curse and ended up losing his life with a pot of medicinal wine.
