Ghost Blowing Lantern II

The rest of the people felt a little baffled. Yao Meier said: "The people in the Demon Immortal Tomb are naturally good at demon arts, and they are best at demon arts."

Sun Jiuye said: "What Guanshan Taibao is best at is, of course, robbing and building tombs... He also specializes in collecting ancient objects."

The fat man said: "We don't care who he is. Fatty doesn't know what he is best at. Anyway, what Fatty is best at and what he wants to do most is to touch gold in his tomb and make a fortune."

Among these people, only Shirley Yang had a clear mind and her words were more reliable, which coincided with what I was thinking: "Guanshan Taibao... Guanshan Zhimi."

When Professor Sun heard Shirley Yang say the four words "Guanshan Zhimi", he suddenly slapped his head hard and suddenly realized: "Why didn't I think of it? The Guanshan Taibao of the Ming Dynasty is the best at Guanshan Zhimi, Guanshan Zhimi It should be the art of Feng Shui. Could it be that looking for clues about the ancient tombs in Dixian Village is using Qingwu Feng Shui to guide you when you get lost?"

I don't think so. I can't judge the next few sentences at the moment, but the sentence "What a great king, with body and no head" is definitely a hint that he is hiding from wind and water, and pointing out mysteries. Previously, I only said "touch the golden school" The "Guanshan Taibao" people are often ignored in the world for their ability to divide gold and locate holes, and they are also masters of tomb robbers who have the skills to find dragons.

Professor Sun suddenly became worried again: "Guanshan Feng Shui and Feng Shui are all very advanced techniques. There are many fakes in the world today and very few real ones. If the hint at the entrance to the Earthly Immortal Ancient Tomb really coincides with the Qingwu Ancient Technique, I'm afraid I won't be able to take on the important task... These mysteries cannot be solved.”

While I looked up at the hanging coffins dotted all over the wall, I said to Professor Sun: "Don't worry about this. Captain Mo Jin's Dragon-Seeking Technique covers mountains and rivers all over the world. However, looking at mountains and pointing out the mysteries is a heresy. I don't know what he is capable of. Can you read the palm of Tathagata Buddha's hand? As long as the ancient tomb of the Earthly Immortal does not involve Feng Shui leylines, otherwise you will never be able to escape the golden spirit with fiery eyes that touches Captain Jin. I am not afraid of his thousands of moves, but I am afraid that he has no moves at all. .”

I had some clues in my mind. I saw that the towering cliffs were densely covered with hanging coffins. Due to the age, most of them were weathered and decayed. I was afraid that if someone touched them, they would break into powder. No one could explain why there were hanging coffins in the "Coffin Gorge". There are so many pile-rock-style hanging coffins. It is impossible to know which dynasty or generation the corpses in the coffins belong to. But judging from our discerning eyes, they are all ancient relics from before the Qin and Han Dynasties, and they are certainly not hundreds of years old. It has a history of Ming Dynasty.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the art of yin and yang Feng Shui has existed. There is a description in the Book of Songs, which says that when Gong Liu selected the site for the construction of Zhouyuan, he "spent the setting sun and exchanged yin and yang...", which shows that thousands of years ago The Shang and Zhou dynasties had begun to pay attention to the geographical environment of "correspondence between heaven and man".

Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, although the detailed Feng Shui theory had not yet been formed, later generations of "Situation Li Qi and Longsha Cave Water" were derived from ancient Feng Shui. In other words, in relatively ancient times such as the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, the criteria for choosing the two houses of Yin and Yang are consistent with those of the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, that is, "within nature, heaven and man are one"; but in terms of the tendency of dragon veins, it may be that There will be differences due to the changes of the times. For example, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, most of the ancient tombs were located in the plains and wilderness, while in the Tang and Song Dynasties, most of the ancient tombs were located in high mountains.

Even the areas and ethnic minorities surrounding the Central Plains civilization are deeply affected by this. Although they may not have any specific Feng Shui concepts, tombs and mausoleums are often found in "deep places" where mountains are hidden and flowing water circulates.

I saw that on the steep ancient wall, countless hanging coffins formed the outline of a headless giant, like a god holding down the mouth of the gorge, stepping on the surging water. Just as the Xunlong Jue said, "The mountain is like a door and the water is like a dragon. The mountain is high." The water is narrow and the dragon wants to go away; it must be restrained within the long gate, and no mountain or water can be allowed to escape." Although it is unknown when this huge group of hanging coffins was left as a monument, its layout is in accordance with ancient methods and is not random. It was built here and has maintained the Feng Shui dragon atmosphere in the "Coffin Gorge" for thousands of years.

I went over and over in my mind to recall all the details in "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Secret Technique", trying to find out the location of the "Long Gate Dragon Qi" controlled by the hanging coffins, and found the figure of the headless giant sitting upright, with several omissions. It appears to be incomplete. On his left hand, a piece of the hanging coffin seems to be missing, causing the two fingers of the giant palm to branch out, as if making an astrological finger, pointing directly at the ancient cliff diagonally opposite. If we hadn't stood at the bottom of the gorge and watched for a long time, It's impossible to spot this detail.

We knew that the group of hanging coffins must be pointing to something different, so we all turned around to look at the cliff behind us, but the cliff was hanging downwards. From the angle we were in, we couldn't see it at all unless we went to the other side. There is something up there, but the mountain torrents in the canyon are raging, and it is impossible to get close to the side where the hanging coffins are densely covered. Although there are iron locks connecting the two walls, only apes can pass through.

If you want to see what secrets are hidden on the cliff opposite the hanging coffins, you can only go up through the bird path embedded in the cliffs. When everyone saw that the road in the depths of the canyon ahead was cut off and they could no longer go inside, they immediately turned back and climbed the steep slope. This section of the Bird Road is even more difficult and dangerous. As the sun sets in the west, the bottom of the canyon is pitch black. There is only some hazy light at the top. I look at the hanging coffin on the other side to hide my eyes, and then I reach the headless giant. Finger place.

The cliffs here are hanging from the sky, and the mountains are almost straight up and down. Opposite to the side full of hanging coffins, there is not a single coffin in sight, only thorns and vines all over the mountain. I looked at the dark canyon at my feet, and I felt bitter in my heart. : "Although it's not yet night, the bottom of the canyon is already like midnight. If you want to turn back now, you can't go down in the dark. Is it possible that you have to spend the night on the cliff?"

Just when I was worried, I saw a hole in the stone wall under the bird path in front. There were a few clumps of dead vines and grass at the hole, which were strange and strange. It corresponded to the place where the layout of the hanging coffins was confusing, in the gorge several hundred meters high. It is not easy to find the bottom with a telescope. Although we are not very good at "observing mud marks and distinguishing the color of grass" as we move mountains and unloading ridges, we have heard about the bright halls many times and know that the grass on the steep cliffs is not an ordinary sign.

I wanted to go down to investigate, but was stopped by Shirley Yang. She relied on her nimbleness and used her "flying tiger claws" to climb the cliff. She ventured down to investigate and found traces of artificial carvings inside the cave. Looking inside was a giant stone door. A lot of soil has fallen outside, causing overgrown weeds and covering the stone gate tightly. In front of the stone gate figurines, there are many stone troughs and broken wood. Maybe there used to be a wide plank road connecting them, but now they no longer exist, and only Down some remnants.

I said to Professor Sun: "It seems that we are in the right direction. The group of hanging coffins opposite is really interesting. It is hidden in the stone gate on the cliff. It is probably the only way to the ancient tomb of Dixian Village. Take advantage of this It’s not dark yet, let’s go in and take a look first.”

The fat man and I and others immediately climbed down from the bird path and got into the door hole cut into the wall. We turned on the flashlight and took a look. We saw that the door beam of the huge stone was carved with a ferocious "black sheep" beast. The stone door in the cave had collapsed for many years, and the corridor inside was winding and deep. It was impossible to see the end with the "Wolf Eye Flashlight", so I put away the "Flying Tiger Claw" again and asked everyone to quickly check the lighting equipment they carried. Enter through the figurine path behind the stone gate.

We were about to set off when suddenly we heard Yao Meier wonder: "Hey... it's that ape, has it been following us?" I pushed aside the grass in front of the stone gate and looked in the direction Yao Meier was pointing. In the afterglow at the top of the gorge, I saw a black shadow with strangely long arms, leaping back and forth between the hanging coffin cliffs, climbing all the way down the mountain. It was the ape that I met in the "Qingxi Air Raid Shelter" before, "Coffin Gorge" Intersecting in the middle canyon, it must not be a chance encounter again, but it is following us all the way from a distance.

What kind of good intentions does Fatty say it can have? It must be "the one who comes is not good, the one who is good will never come", but it is a pity that the disaster is so far away. If I could have a rifle in my hand now, the fat man would only need one shot here, and then he would go to the Palace of Hell to report.

Sun Jiuye hurriedly advised: "This Bashan ape has some spiritual knowledge and never hurts anyone. I didn't expect that after so many years, it is still alive, but I don't know whether Captain Feng is alive or dead? It followed him from the air-raid shelter. , maybe he wants to take us to find its owner, so please don’t kill it."

At this time, the sun's shadow moved downwards, and the entire "Coffin Gorge" completely fell into darkness, and the Bashan Monkey Piper could no longer be seen. I said to everyone: "The Bashan Monkey Piper will definitely not follow us into the mountain for no reason. But it was frightened in the air-raid shelter, and it will never approach us easily again. It is not easy to capture or kill it at this time, but Coffin Gorge is not a quiet and peaceful place, and everything needs to be treated with caution. .”

I asked everyone to be careful and watch the Bashan Monkey in secret. If it is found with evil intentions, kill it without mercy. Otherwise, do not harm it easily. But at the moment, it is better to go to the cave behind the stone gate to look for the "Ancient Dixian Village" Tomb" is important. Once the sky darkens, there is no difference between the canyon and the heart of the mountain. They are both dark and dead. Only from deep in the cave can occasionally come the strange sound of whimpering wind.

The figurine tunnel hidden on the cliff is deep and wide. It can be cut into the mountain here. It can only be created by divine power, not human power. However, the inside of the figurine tunnel is extremely smooth and neat, and it does not look like a natural cave. There are domes on both sides. Decorated with ancient bricks, there are many stone lanterns and stone beasts. The stone lanterns have dried up. I don’t know how many years ago, there was no lamp oil. On the ground of the figurine path more than ten meters wide, you can occasionally see animal bones and beasts. A, and rotten wood citrons, but from this point of view, this unfathomable figurine path is like an ancient city stone alley, and somewhat like a tomb passage in front of an underground palace.

The fat man felt a hundred times more energetic when he saw this. Judging from the situation, it was probably a tomb passage, and he must be approaching the "Di Xian Village" full of hidden artifacts.

Professor Sun said: "Don't be too quick to be happy. I have never seen a tomb passage like this in my life. I think this layout is definitely not an ordinary tomb passage."

The fat man said: "Master Sun Jiu, you are too inexperienced. Fatty, I am familiar with this kind of place. I can guarantee that this is the tomb passage. If you go further inside, you will probably find a triple tomb chamber. There are also ear chambers on the left and right sides. Finally, There is a huge coffin in the middle... If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see.”

Professor Sun was always unwilling to compromise on academic issues. He immediately pointed to a pile of animal bones on the ground and said: "There are indeed people and animals buried in ancient tombs. They are in burial pits and trenches, and there are even some in front of the tomb." From ancient times to the present, there have been no examples of people being killed or martyred in the tomb passage. Look at the bones in the tomb passage, they are scattered in such a mess, so I’m sure it’s not the tomb passage.”

I walked at the front to explore the road. As I walked along, I felt more and more weird. I heard Fatty and Sun Jiuye arguing in the back, and wanted to have a few words with them. However, at this moment, with the help of the wolf-eye flashlight, The beam of light saw that the figurine path in front had reached the end. There was a stone wall on both sides, both as white as powder. The walls were like two ghost gates - two black pig heads with bloody flesh were painted on each.

There is a rectangular stone case under the stone wall. There are thousands of skulls piled up like a mountain on the table. The skin and flesh have long been rotted away. The shape of the teeth and skulls looks like a human head, but it is not a normal human skull, but something similar. The skulls of primates such as apes, standing in this ancient figurine tunnel, seem to still be able to feel the bloody atmosphere of the slaughter and sacrifice thousands of years ago.

As soon as I thought about it, I stopped immediately, turned around and said to Sun Jiuye and the others: "Stop arguing, it's not the tomb passage. I think we have entered the meat factory."

Shirley Yang had never heard of this word and asked: "What is a meat joint factory?" I replied: "As the saying goes - Daoguangxueying meat joint factory, the meat joint factory is the place where pigs are killed. I think this is the place where pigs are killed. A slaughterhouse deep in the mountains.”

Shirley Yang followed me with Yao Meier. When she heard me saying that this place was a "deep mountain slaughterhouse," she said, "Old Hu, you are talking nonsense again and are sensational. Coffin Gorge has been deserted for a long time. How can there be a slaughterhouse?" But When they walked up to me, they used their flashlights to shine on the densely packed ape skulls, and saw two pig heads with their eyes drawn vividly on the stone wall. They couldn't help but change color on their faces. What on earth was in this cave?

At this time, the fat man and Sun Jiuye also came closer. Seeing this situation, they were also surprised. Professor Sun said to us: "This does not look like a tomb passage. It has the head of an ape and a pig. Could it be that it is a tomb passage?" The Monkey King’s grave?”

The fat man and I said to him: "Thanks for your constant talk of treating history objectively and correctly, why does the tomb of the Monkey King appear? Who is the Monkey King? Sun Wukong? He has become a Buddha long ago, so how can there be a tomb?" "

Professor Sun realized that he had lost his words and quickly said: "That's not what I meant. I just thought that there were mountains of ape bones here, so I accidentally remembered the Monkey King's Tomb. The story of Sun Wukong going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures was made up by novelists, but it is true in Zhejiang It’s not that I made up the monuments of the Monkey King’s Tomb. I’m different from you. You say you’re happy and just walk away without taking any responsibility. But am I the same as a professor? When I don’t say anything, others still want to They are trying every possible means to cause trouble for me, so over the years, I have never refused to say a single word without foundation."
