Ghost Blowing Lantern II

(A short paragraph was added to the first half of the chapter)

I said to Shirley Yang: "Moving mountains and unloading ridges to worship Wu Zixu and the Overlord of Western Chu. This is really the first time I heard about it, and finally I felt a little enlightened. However, the ancestor of Touch Jin Xiaowei was Cao Cao. This is not my opinion. I have known this for a long time, but my grandfather told me that this may not be accurate. Is there any hidden secret in it?"

Shirley Yang said: "To touch gold and worship Duke Cao began in the Later Han Dynasty, but in fact, the gold-touching captain shuttled back and forth between the Yin and Yang worlds, and followed the rule of not touching gold when the rooster crows and the lanterns are out, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, there was a slave who died for King You. He was buried in the tomb and survived. He took away the cinnabar book in King You's tomb and passed it down to later generations. The eight methods of advancing and retreating by the gold captain were all obtained from it. It is said that The real Patriarch is this strange man who emerged from the tomb alive, but unfortunately, this man’s name and future ending have been lost and cannot be verified.”

I took the opportunity to push the topic further and further: "It seems that there are magic talismans, elixirs and secrets of yin and yang in ancient mountain tombs, but these things may not work, otherwise the tomb owner would not be put in the coffin. At that time There are many people who died prematurely because they took the medicine to pray for gods, and they often took the wrong medicine..."

Before I knew it, I was almost at the entrance of the alley where I lived. Unexpectedly, after talking for so long, Shirley Yang's thoughts were not disturbed at all. She asked me again for the gold-touching charm. I was hesitant. At no time, I saw reinforcements coming from the alley.

There is a public phone at the entrance of the alley, and there is Aunt Liu. She is responsible for answering the phone. When a call comes, she will first find out who the call is on the phone, and then go to the alley to greet the person. The call was two cents a time, and there happened to be a call for Fatty. Aunt Liu, who was in charge of the phone, went to the courtyard and called Fatty out. Fatty followed her out, wearing a coat, and saw Shirley Yang and I walking in from outside the alley. , raised his hand to say hello to us, picked up the phone and spoke carelessly: "Hey... I am the Boss King of Global Trouble Co., Ltd.... What haven't you heard of? You haven't heard of beating. Why are you calling me on the phone? Hey, I'm such a hot-tempered person. I said you're trying to get some training, right? Where are you from? Go over here and let the fat man crush you to death..."

I took this opportunity and quickly said to Shirley Yang: "Look at this fat man. After coming back from Kunlun Mountain, he has just been in deep meditation for a few days. He doesn't know his last name anymore, and he doesn't even say that he is on guard. He is in public in public." It is said that disease comes from the mouth and misfortune comes from the mouth. If you believe that he is so tossing, sooner or later he will be in trouble."

In fact, I was too lazy to care about what the fat man said. I just took the opportunity to put aside the matter of touching the golden talisman. While talking, I went back to the house with Shirley Yang. After a while, the fat man also came back after making a phone call, excitedly. He told me: "Someone just called to say they wanted to treat us. We have another dinner tonight. If I had known this, I would have saved a meal at noon. We have to be diligent and frugal in everything we do." I asked the fat man who called? But the fat man said he didn't bother to ask. He just asked where to eat. The place was quite remote and said to be unique, but judging from the accent on the phone, it sounded like Uncle Ming's.

Shirley Yang interrupted: "This is not possible. Professor Chen returned to Beijing from the United States after recovering. He specially held a family dinner tonight. He wanted to get together a few of us who went to Xinjiang. I have already promised him that we will have a family dinner tonight. We all have to go to Professor Chen’s house, it’s getting late now, you can change your clothes and let’s go.”

When I saw that this was the case, I had no choice but to give Professor Chen some face. I thought to myself that back then, I was so poor in Beijing that I could no longer survive. A bowl of braised pork and BBQ would be considered an improvement in my life. Why didn’t anyone treat me to dinner at that time? ? Many of the reasons here seemed to be quite deep, so I simply stopped thinking about it, put the confusing phone call behind me, packed up casually, and followed everyone to Professor Chen's house.

Also invited was Da Jinya. He and Professor Chen were old acquaintances, and he was also the one who introduced Fatty and I to the desert expedition team. There were no outsiders at this party, so there was no need to be polite. Everyone sat down, respectively. When I talked about my farewell and my current behavior, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Although Professor Chen returned with his life from the desert, he lost many companions in the ancient city of Jingjue, all of whom were close relatives, causing him to become insane. After some treatment in the United States, he basically recovered. He missed his homeland and refused to stay in a foreign land. More than a month after recovering from the illness, he couldn't wait to return to his motherland.

Professor Chen drank a few glasses of wine. Thinking of his assistants and students being buried in the sand, he became a little emotional. The hands holding chopsticks and cups started to tremble. We were worried that he would relapse, so we advised him to drink less. , The deceased is gone, and the past has passed. No one can change anything. Those who are still alive must look at it more openly and cannot always live in the shadow of the past.

Professor Chen sighed again: "Although the past is gone, if people don't miss the past and have no memories, then living will be like a walking corpse. Just like every nation has its own history, those cultural relics and historic sites are a country and a nation. Memories, from which we can understand where our roots are and where our bloodline is. Only in this way can we have the essence, energy and spirit of a person. At this age, I have more than enough energy to do what I want to do. , when I think of these things, I feel that the historical burden on my shoulders is not light..."

I was moved by what Professor Chen said. The more I listened, the more something was wrong. There must be something behind the words. I don’t know what he wanted to say. After hearing this, the conversation must have changed and I had something to entrust. I didn’t plan to follow him again. I had to try my best to politely refuse any relationship with antiquities, but I had to listen to what Professor Chen really wanted to say, so I said to him: "Professor, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. Although we don't have much education, we can understand these great principles." We all understand to some extent that if a person does not respect history and revere history, he will definitely have no guide in life, no direction to move forward, and no good food. We all know this very well, and it has long been dissolved in the blood and engraved in it. In the bones, and finally implemented into action, but these principles are too profound, and if you really talk about it, you can't explain them comprehensively. You are just sick and don't feel tired, so I think you won't talk about these contents and leave them here. It’s not too late to talk about it in future lectures and reports. If you really want to say it now, can you directly talk about the content after these big principles? Do you want to organize an expedition with our group to investigate the disappearance of something? Ancient civilization, right?”
