Ghost Blowing Lantern II

While he was talking, "Sun Jiuye" had finished vomiting, and was brought back by the fat man to sit down again. He was so drunk that he was even in a trance. He was sitting at the table in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind. He muttered incomprehensibly as if by some ghost: "What a great king, but he has a body and no head; if his wife doesn't come, the mountains won't bloom; he burns firewood and cooks the liver and lungs; he digs wells and cuts salt, and asks ghosts for money; the birds talk Vertical and horizontal, a hundred steps make nine turns; if you want to visit the earthly immortals, first look for the crow..."

(Note: Lao Jiu cannot leave - the bandit leader in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is a mountain eagle, with eight pieces of gold and steel under his command. Yang Zirong, who worked as an undercover inside the bandits, was ranked ninth, so he is called "Lao Jiu", when Zuo Shandiao tried to persuade Yang Zirong to stay, he once shouted "Lao Jiu can't leave.")

I heard what "Sun Jiuye" said was half literary and half vulgar, like an ancient poem, but also like a jingle, and the content was bizarre. It was hard to understand its meaning for a while. It wasn't until I heard the four words "I want to visit the earthly immortals" that I woke up. : "Probably a hint to find the entrance to the Earth Immortal Ancient Tomb!"

At this time, the fat man said from the side: "Sun Laojiu, if you don't know how to drink, don't drink. Can you have the capacity to drink like Fatty? You see, when you drink too much, you start to recite the Three-Character Sutra. All this nonsense..."

I quickly pressed the fat man's mouth shut and raised my ears to listen to Professor Sun's drunken "nonsense", but after he said, "If you want to visit the immortals of the earth, you must first find a crow..." and there was no more to come. He fell asleep on the table and said nothing more.

My heart was so itchy that I wished I could open Professor Sun's mouth and ask him to repeat it word for word from beginning to end. The key point is the sentence: "If you want to find the tomb of the Earthly Immortal and seal the tomb of the King, what should you find first?" I didn't listen carefully to a few words, but now that I think about it, it seems like "What kind of good lady is boiling water for the king?"

Shirley Yang has the ability to remember what she hears. She said: "It's not a good lady who boils water. What Professor Sun just said should be - such a great king has a body but no head; if the lady doesn't come, the mountains won't bloom; if the firewood doesn't come, the mountains won't bloom." I took a pot and boiled the liver and lungs; dug a well to cut salt, and asked ghosts for money; the bird path was criss-crossed, nine times a hundred steps; if you want to visit the immortals on earth, you first look for the crow..."

I quickly wrote these words down in my notebook. It seemed that Master Sun Jiu still had some information about the Earthly Immortal Tomb hidden in his stomach. He was so excited that he drank two taels more, and then he accidentally revealed these words. What is the mystery behind those words? We just can't understand it.

Shirley Yang said: "What a great king...headless...? I think the word "王无头" is a native word. Could it be a hidden word puzzle? It hints at the secret in the ancient tomb of the Earthly Immortal? If the lady doesn't come, the mountains No, what word is hidden in this sentence? It shouldn’t be an anagram, and I can’t figure out the words in the following sentences.”

Monk Zhanger and I were confused at this time: "The king without a head? Who is the headless king? Who is the founder of the mountain? I can't understand the first sentence, so of course I have no idea what the following hints are."

The fat man said: "When the fat man comes to find a glass of cold water, spray him to wake up Mr. Sun Jiu, and then grill him for questioning. If he refuses to tell the truth, we will have to use tricks on him, such as pepper water, tiger orange, etc." All the cruel moves were thrown at him, and he was punished with great punishment."

I shook my head and said, "This is not the Bai Mansion in Zhazidong, and Professor Sun is not an arrested revolutionary. How can we torture him? I don't think we will torture him today. We will take him home after dinner." , It’s not too late to ask him again when he wakes up, and I don’t dare to hide anything from him.”

Afterwards, the three of us had a meal full of questions. Shirley Yang paid for it and took Professor Sun back to where I lived. At the gate of the hospital, Professor Sun asked me in a daze: "Huh? Where is this? Don't tell me. Let me go to the farm, I am not a traitor, I have never killed anyone..."

I comforted him and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. You see, this is my home. This place is called You'anmen..." But my doubts deepened and I thought: "Professor Sun has killed people? Who did he kill? His temper Although it's not good, it doesn't look like a master who can kill people. Killing people is not killing chickens, so not everyone has the courage to do it."

The fat man waited impatiently for Professor Sun to wake up, so when he got home, he went to Panjiayuan to practice stalls. In the afternoon, Shirley Yang and I saw that Professor Sun was awake, so we poured him a cup of hot tea. I closed the door and moved a Sitting in front of him, he said straight to the point: "Master Jiu, to be honest, you were drunk just now and told all about killing people and being a traitor. But from my point of view, it's not true to say that you cherish a false reputation. False, but I don’t believe you are a murderer and I don’t believe you even if you are beaten to death. I guess you must have been wronged. You might as well tell us the whole story.”

I patted my chest again and promised Chairman Mao that as long as I can help with this matter, I will go through fire and water, no matter what, and I will definitely try my best to restore your innocence. Yang Du was rotten in his stomach and would never say a word to outsiders again.

Professor Sun knew that he had made a gaffe while drunk, but seeing that Shirley Yang and I looked sincere, we had no choice but to tell him his experience. Unexpectedly, he was also inextricably linked to the "Tomb of Earth Immortals". Professor Sun wanted to find out "Tomb of the Earthly Immortal", 80% of the reasons are related to his experiences back then.

Sun Xuewu met a man on the farm. This man's surname was Feng. He didn't know why he was sent to work in the lower levels. Since he and General Sun Xuewu worked together, they were somewhat connected, and the two of them were quite talkative. Later, one day Captain Feng secretly said to Sun Xuewu: "Old Sun, I really can't stand this kind of life where people are neither human nor ghosts. I have thought about it for several days. Now I have thought about it and plan to Run, I think you are about to die, so you might as well run with me."

Sun Xuewu was shocked and asked Captain Feng: "Run? You don't want your head? Besides, although this farm is not strictly guarded, it is in the sparsely populated mountains of Daba Mountains. Even if you run out, what will happen next? Where will you go after that?" Hiding? Can you survive if you are caught?"

Captain Feng seemed very confident. He said: "After crossing the mountains, I will enter Sichuan. My hometown is in Sichuan. Instead of being trapped here and waiting to die, I might as well risk crossing the mountains. As long as I return to my hometown, I will be a fish into the sea." , the bird has ascended into the sky.”

It turned out that the ancestor of the captain was a local wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty. He had been a "Guanshan Taibao", that is, a tomb robber. The "Guanshan Taibao" dug out the Dragon Bone Book from an ancient tomb in Sichuan a long time ago. After understanding the mysteries, he obtained the Great Way and became an immortal. He built an Earth Immortal Village in the underground palace of the ancient tomb he robbed as a place to hide the truth a hundred years later. It is said that whoever found this Earth Immortal Village would worship the Earth Immortal. Anyone who watches the mountain as a Taibao can live forever and never eat, drink or even touch the fireworks of the world.

But this ancient tomb of the Earth Immortal was hidden so deep that no trace could be found. From the fall of Ming Dynasty to the present, no one has been able to find it. However, the Earth Immortal left a few secret words to the descendants of the Feng family: "What a great king, you are pregnant." Headless; if the wife does not come, the mountains will not bloom; burn firewood and cook the liver and lungs; dig wells to cut salt, and ask ghosts for money; bird paths are crisscrossed, nine times in a hundred steps; if you want to visit the immortals, first look for the black sheep …”

In this ancient mystery, there is an important secret about the entrance to Dixian Village. Except for the Feng family, they never told outsiders. At that time, Captain Feng only told Professor Sun a small part, and persuaded him to run back to Sichuan with him. He took refuge in the tomb of the Earthly Immortal. Even though Captain Feng had served as a soldier and fought in wars, he was extremely superstitious about these mythical things passed down from his ancestors. It was for this reason that he was sent down here. Now he can't stand it anymore. I feel guilty of digging mountains and quarrying stones, so I want to flee back to my hometown. It’s hard to say whether I can become an immortal and live forever, but I finally have a place to go. Anyway, everything is dead inside and outside. What if there really is a heavenly book in the king’s tomb? Then follow your ancestors to become immortals.

When Professor Sun heard this, he felt that Captain Feng must have a mental problem. He might be overwhelmed and had a mental breakdown. Why did he dare to say anything?

So Professor Sun expressed his attitude and firmly refused to go with him, saying: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone secrets behind his back."

Captain Feng sneered and said: "As the saying goes, don't tell others what's on your mind. Since I told you, Lao Sun, about my escape plan, even if you don't expose it, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away with it after I escape." , let’s do this, I’ll help you.”

Professor Sun was shocked: "What do you want?" Before he finished speaking, he took a pickaxe on the back of his head and fainted immediately. When he woke up, Captain Feng was gone.

The disappearance of Captain Feng caused a great uproar. The people who searched the mountain searched for hundreds of miles, but could not find even a hair on Captain Feng. It was impossible for him to fly with wings. At this time, someone revealed that in the end Seeing Professor Sun with him, Professor Sun was interrogated at that time, but Professor Sun also knew that he must not talk about this matter, otherwise the investigation would get deeper and deeper. Even if he wanted to tell the truth, he couldn't tell the truth. Could it be that he told the truth that Captain Feng had gone there? Have you gone to the Immortal Ancient Tomb to seek immortality? Who can believe it? I had no choice but to insist that he might have run away, and others said that he didn't know. There was an injury on the back of the head as evidence, and he was also a victim.

Although the matter was settled, people were afraid of it, and some people began to suspect that Professor Sun probably had a personal grudge against Captain Feng, so he secretly killed Captain Feng, and buried the body somewhere. Although this statement was not officially recognized, it was widely circulated in private, and everyone regarded him as a murderer. Until the end, his incident was still unclear.

Professor Sun didn't know whether Captain Feng had escaped back to Sichuan. Even if he had been hiding in the mountains and could now straighten his back and come out, he still didn't show up. This person seemed to have disappeared from the world. Over the years , has always been "never seen alive and dead", so the rumor that he "had been killed by the enemy Professor Sun long ago and his body was hidden in the deserted mountains" is even more convincing. However, there is no evidence for the time being, and everyone can take Sun The professor couldn't help it.

The mystery of the disappearance of Captain Feng became a worry for Professor Sun in the future. Later, when he came into contact with various legends and records about the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" at work, he paid special attention to it. First, he wanted to find out the ancient Zhou Tiangu from it. Hexagram, so that his research results can make breakthroughs. At the same time, he also wants to find the captain Feng who has been missing for ten years and wash away the unfair injustice he suffered.

But Professor Sun also knew that after Captain Feng escaped, he had probably fed wild animals in the mountains, or fallen into a mountain stream and died. The possibility of escaping to Sichuan was slim. Even if he found the "Dixian Ancient Tomb", It may not be possible to find this person from the tomb, but Professor Sun has a vague premonition that "Captain Feng is very unusual. Maybe he can really find the entrance to the ancient tomb, and he is still alive in the world."

After listening to Sun Jiuye's narration, I thought about it and already had some ideas: "We can't solve the riddle of Dixian Village for a while, and the bronze hexagram mirror can only be used once or twice at most. At the critical moment, it is not easy to use it to predict the geomantic omen and feng shui, but I think this captain is an important clue to find the ancient tomb. Most of the legends about the earth immortals in the Ming Dynasty are confusing. It has always been said that they were in Sichuan, but there is no such thing. A rough area, I don’t even know whether it is Badi or Shu, east or west Sichuan? I can’t find the key, it is extremely difficult to find. But as long as we can find out which county and town Elder Feng Tuan’s family is from, we will go there in person and follow the clues and act accordingly. , it’s not difficult to find the entrance to the tomb passage.” (To be continued, if you want to know the funeral, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!)
