Chapter 187: Chiseled Walls (Mao)
Lao Cai said this, paused, Cao team hurriedly added water to his teacup, but Lao Cai wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and I noticed that he was already sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of water. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I quickly got up and opened the window of the room to let in the air. Outside the window are tall shrubs, which are still flourishing in the depths of winter, exuding a unique smell that lifts people's spirits.
While Lao Cai was drinking tea, I walked back to him and asked: "Lao Cai, speak slowly, don't worry, I heard the people in your factory say that this chef is from Langzhong, Sichuan, can you be sure?
Lao Cai drank a cup of tea in one go, thought for a while, and replied: "That's right, it's a person from Langzhong, this person usually doesn't show the mountains and water, that will be twenty-five or sixteen years old, he told me that when he was ten years old, his family was too poor to support him, so he sent him to the temple to be a little monk." At the age of eighteen, he returned to the vulgar and came out to break into the world, and then came to Chongqing by mistake, caught up with the factory to recruit workers, and came in to become a famous chef. He didn't know how to cook, but he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the big woks in the canteen weighed dozens of pounds, and he could play with one hand, and he learned from the master master, and there was no problem at all in dealing with the big pot dishes, and he soon became a teacher. Of course, this is what he told me, and I don't know if what he said is true or not. ”
"When I was in the factory, I didn't pay attention to this person at all, and it was only in the air-raid shelter that I found out that Chef Fang was much more mature than him, and he was also very urban, so it can be said that he knew the people around him very well, but no one really knew him. This person basically has no relatives, no friends, and no hobbies, so he says that he has a withdrawn personality, and sometimes he will talk eloquently, saying that he is easy to socialize, and will always tell you something mysterious and mysterious. In short, it's hard to guess. Lao Cai talked about Chef Fang, his brows kept frowning, it seems that after so many years, the shadow in his heart still lingers.
"Lao Cai, you said that this cook was a monk when he was a child, and later he was vulgar, did you notice that he usually didn't practice Buddhism?" I interrupted Lao Cai's memories and asked again.
Lao Cai still lowered his head, thought for a while, and said: "No, when we explored the tunnel later, we once dug up a stone Buddha, which was smashed by us as the four olds, and I didn't see any indication from Chef Fang." Usually, I haven't heard him chant the scriptures, but he recognizes the words on the tower. ”
"You've seen those towers back then?" Cao couldn't help but blurt out.
"No, I haven't seen it, but we've seen it in another place, and I'm going to get to that in a moment. Lao Cai put down the teacup and continued to tell his gripping story.
Lao Cai was coerced by Chef Fang, so he began to arrange some of the workers at the repair site of the air-raid shelter, and the others went to explore the unknown tunnel, while he and Chef Fang acted together, and the group of people in the search and rescue team did not pay much attention to Lao Cai and them, except to ask if they had found the missing people, and did not care where they went.
The map in Chef Fang's hand was very detailed, he took Lao Cai and dug up the body of Deputy Director Tian first, and then the two of them dragged the corpse along the alleyway all the way to the depths. Obviously, Chef Fang hadn't come in before, and when he encountered a fork in the road, he had to turn out the map and carefully identify it. Lao Cai asked him where he was going to transport the corpse? Chef Fang just said that if Lao Cai wanted to get rid of the entanglement of the unjust soul, he should not ask too much, just follow himself.
On that trip, Lao Cai estimated that he walked for two hours, walked more than five miles, and when he began to wonder what the point of going on like this was, they came to a huge stone gate. This stone gate is black and not slippery, it is two people high, it looks very heavy, it is very flat on it, and there are no patterns and words. Chef Fang stepped forward and pushed hard, the stone door did not move at all, and it seemed that a stone pin locked the stone door from the inside.
Chef Fang asked Lao Cai to dig a pit outside the stone gate and bury the body of Deputy Director Tian, saying that this is the Shura realm, and the soul is also considered a positive result here. Chef Fang no longer paid attention to Lao Cai, but began to dig on the wall more than ten meters away from the stone gate.
Lao Cai buried the corpse and saw that Cook Fang's progress was very slow, and the shovel kept making the sound of gold and stone on the wall. Chef Fang shook his head and told Lao Cai that this seemed to be a whole stone wall, and it was very difficult to dig a hole. Lao Cai checked the stone wall, and the other cook said that if you don't bring wires in, you can't use electric drills and electric hammers, and it won't work at all to chisel by hand for three or five months, and the key is that you don't know how thick the wall is. If you get some explosives, there's still hope.
Chef Fang was very excited when he heard this, and begged Lao Cai to help get some explosives. Lao Cai told him that if Chef Fang didn't tell him the purpose of coming in, he wouldn't help him. Chef Fang was embarrassed for a while, and then told Lao Cai that he had not lied to everyone before, and he was indeed the descendant of Ming Yuzhen.
The tunnel they had just walked through was the Tibetan Cave of the Great Xia Kingdom at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was the most important fortification outside the entire city of Chongqing. Inside this stone gate there is a feng shui level of the Ming family, and the Ming family has some very important things buried inside. But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a traitor in the family, named Fang Tiantai, who himself inherited the Ming family's Kanyu skills, but defected to Zhang Xianzhong and told him about the feng shui level.
Later, with the support of Zhang Xianzhong, Fang Tiantai opened the stone door and used a method that was extremely destructive to change the feng shui inside. Zhang Xianzhong also set himself up as emperor with satisfaction after a series of rituals. And after Fang Tiantai closed the stone gate, the Fang family was really exhausted, and the clansmen either died early or were riddled with strange diseases, this curse has lasted for four hundred years, and none of the more than ten generations of Fang Chef have been spared.
And his ancestors left the map, hoping that one day, someone will be able to enter the stone gate, break the curse of the feng shui level, and change the fate of the family.
Lao Cai was skeptical when he heard this, he didn't understand why Fang Tiantai would do such a thing, wouldn't that even harm himself and his descendants? This question, Chef Fang couldn't figure it out, but said that his ancestors guessed that Fang Tiantai was not a member of the Ming family, and a branch of the Ming family was exiled in Langzhong and changed his surname to Fang, and this Fang Tiantai was originally surnamed Fang.
Although Lao Cai didn't quite believe Chef Fang's statement about Feng Shui, he felt that Chef Fang didn't intend to do anything harmful, and he was so forbearing, and he waited so persistently for so long, just to fulfill the long-cherished wish of his ancestors, so he had the heart to help him.
They came out of the cave, and Lao Cai found two more trustworthy people and applied for several detonators in the name of the construction needs of the air-raid shelter. Two days later, the four of them came to the stone door again.
Lao Cai chiseled a stone hole in the stone wall, stuffed a detonator into it, blew up a hole, and put another one in, and so on, and almost used up the detonator to open the stone wall about two meters thick. The four men worked for two more days, digging the hole enough for a man to crawl into.
With such a painstaking effort to open the stone wall, everyone wanted to go in and see the so-called Feng Shui array. Chef Fang couldn't screw everyone, and agreed to let everyone go in to take a look, but told Lao Cai that after entering, it might be a corpse bone wall repaired by Fang Tiantai, this wall is very evil, and the feng shui level of the Fang family is sealed by the corpse bone wall.
Seeing that everyone was suspicious, Chef Fang said to Lao Cai very solemnly that when he went in, it was estimated that he would not be able to come out again, and his long-cherished wish in this life was to complete his ancestral life and break the bone wall. After he entered, everyone immediately went out, blocked the hole in the stone wall, and after pushing out the passage, blocked the alley in the direction of the construction site, so as not to harm the people outside by the soul released by the wall of bones.
Seeing that Cook Fang said this, everyone believed it a little, so they promised him to do what he said. Chef Fang took the flashlight and climbed in first, there seemed to be a huge space inside, but the hole they dug was too small, and it was very laborious for adults to get in, Chef Fang estimated that he was thin and small, and he went in quickly, but it took Lao Cai a minute to squeeze through, making his back and elbow hurt.
Lao Cai took a flashlight and looked around, and found that there was a huge cave inside, he felt that this should be the center of the Goose Ridge, the cave did not know how high, the light pillar of the flashlight dissipated in the darkness, and he did not see the top. More than ten meters in front of him, there is a black high wall, at least five meters high, but you can vaguely see that the wall is uneven, and there seem to be some patterns.
Lao Cai walked over with a flashlight, and when he was three or four meters away from the high wall, he suddenly found that this was not a pattern at all, but countless white bones embedded in the wall. Lao Cai only felt a buzz above his head, and almost collapsed to the ground, the hot air on his body seemed to be sucked away, and he immediately understood what Chef Fang meant by the corpse wall.
Lao Cai calmed down for a few seconds, then raised the flashlight again, and when he shone it for the first time just now, he seemed to see a dark red thing on the wall. By the light of the flashlight, Lao Cai could see that every five meters or so on the wall, a dark red, prayer flag-like strip of cloth hung down from the wall, and there were some black curves on it, which were completely unrecognizable.
Hearing this, I suddenly realized, and I couldn't help blurting out: "Lao Cai, the words on the prayer flags are the words on the Xuantie Tower? Lao Cai nodded to me.
"Later, Lao Cai, where is Chef Fang?" Team Cao glared at me, obviously dissatisfied with me interrupting Lao Cai.
(The saints of the past ruled the heavens and the earth because of yin and yang.) The visible is born in the invisible, so the heaven and the earth are born in peace? Therefore, it is said: there is too easy, there is too beginning, there is too beginning, and there is too prime. Those who are too easy have not seen qi, those who are too primordial are the beginning of qi, those who are too primordial are the beginning of form, and those who are too primitive are the beginning of quality. The gas shape and quality are not separated, so it is said to be muddy. --"Liezi") (To be continued.) )
