Chapter 43: Treasure Escape

After Jiang Lao Er returned home from the fishing village, his father learned of the situation, and he was shocked and painful, and died of a heart attack. Jiang Lao Er hid the secret and never mentioned it to anyone.

He vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, what was going on in Eight Immortal Town, who were those black-clothed people, and what did it have to do with the hidden Jiang clan, he didn't know anything about it, but he didn't dare to delve into the secrets.

Sometimes he thinks about it, why everyone died, and he was the only one who escaped this fate, was it really an accident, or was there something different about him.

The only possibility was the talisman array, which he had always carried with him. Maybe those men in black found out that he had a talisman array, so they spared him a small life.

Jiang Lao Er didn't dare to take out the talisman array disk, locked it in the cabinet and sealed it forever, planning to pass it on to his two sons until he died.

After a few more years, the shape of the antique market was very good, and Jiang Lao Er remembered that the antiques he had collected at the beginning were buried in several places, and now they can be excavated and bought at a good price.

So he personally took people to dig in the place where the antiques were hidden, intending to bring everything back.

Just when he was full of ambition and enthusiasm, something strange happened, he took the treasure drawings to look for them, but he couldn't find the antiques.

At that time, the three brothers hid treasures all the way, and buried a total of ten places, but when he went to look for it, it took him three months, and only found two, and the rest seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace at all.

The seemingly impossible happened.

The Jiang family had problems burying antiques before, and the good things hidden next to the abandoned kiln were not found after two generations of hard work.

The Jiang family once asked Kanyu Shi, who was proficient in Feng Shui, about this, and Kanyu Shi told them that Feng Shui's qi was both fluid and restrained. There are a lot of hidden qi and broken qi in the mountains, and if the treasure is too small, it is easy to hide it deep in feng shui when hidden in the ground, or move it to another place along the air current.

The longer things are hidden, the more likely they are to be moved, which is why ancient tombs and treasures are so difficult to find.

This is called "treasure escape" in feng shui, and the more treasures of gold and silver artifacts, the easier it is to "escape", either hidden by natural feng shui, or moved in location.

Generally speaking, the scale of the tomb is relatively large, so there will be no "treasure escape" in a short period of time, but the treasure is usually buried in the soil with several boxes, and the scale is too small, and the probability of "treasure escape" is greater.

Therefore, although some treasures are clearly documented and the location is accurate, when later generations go to look for them, they often find nothing, that is, there is a "treasure escape".

Unless it happens by chance, one or two boxes of treasures will be buried, and after a few decades, it will be difficult to find a trace.

In fact, not only the tomb treasures are like this, but ordinary people will not be able to find gold and silver buried in the ground for ten or twenty years. These are all Feng Shui principles, and once you understand them, it is not surprising at all.

Kanyu Master also said that the fact that the treasure is missing has happened all over the world, and what happened to the Jiang family is not an exception.

For example, the Treasure of the Parchment Scroll, the Treasure of Solomon, the Treasure of Banching, the Treasure of the Arabian Pirates, the Treasure of the Egyptian Pharaohs, the Gold Treasure of Zimbabwe, the Treasure of the Mughal Empire, the Treasure of the Inca Empire...... These treasures have the exact location of the burial, and countless explorers have pursued them in later generations, but even if they carry the treasure map, they have not been able to find a trace.

The Jiang family listened to the analysis of the master, and then suddenly realized that there was still so much knowledge in the hidden treasure. But people who engage in antiques love to hide things, if they encounter such a thing in the future, how can they hide treasures to avoid "treasure escape"?

The Kanyu Master told them that there is a "lock game" in feng shui, where yin and yang clash with each other, and taking advantage of the situation to steal qi can prevent or slow down the occurrence of "treasure escape".

This "lock" is called the Mountain of Ghost Stars.

The Jiang brothers asked Kanyu Master how to find the ghost star, and when they hid the antiques again, they kept an extra eye on it and used the ghost star to set up a "lock game", just in case.

After collecting the antiques, they used the feng shui compass to locate and find the mountain of ghost stars according to the "Dragon Shaking Sutra" of the Tang Dynasty. The Mountain of Ghost Stars is not difficult to find, nor is there any mystery, it refers to the small hill dragged behind the Henglongxue Mountain in Feng Shui, and it is the easiest place to form a yin and yang paradise near it.

In ancient times, Kanyu masters often used the mountain of ghosts and stars to point the dragon's lair, where the yin and yang clash not for tombs, but very suitable for hiding treasures. Because the ghost star can lock the qi, steal the nearby feng shui aura, and then lock it steadily, without leaking a trace of treasure.

The Jiang brothers used the mountain qi veins of the ghost star to find the acupoint, used the natural mountain forest water flow as a cover, and then accurately located and buried the antiques.

There are three advantages to hiding treasure with ghost stars, the first is that it is very hidden and difficult to be discovered. The second ghost star is a "lock game" that can prevent antiques from "treasure escape". Third, the harmony of feng shui and yin and yang in the mountains of the ghost star is conducive to the introverted and nourishing qi of the antiquities themselves.

People who are mixed in the antique world know that if the antiquities are hidden in the feng shui treasure for a long time, they will absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and naturally contain a kind of ancient rhyme, which is called "qi nourishing device, and the rhyme is born", which is very rare and very important for the storage of antiques.

Jade should be plated, and antiques should be raised. Putting things on a shelf and falling into dust, or locking them in a safe and being silent, is not a good way to keep antiques.

The Jiang brothers knew this very well, so they buried the antiques in the mountain and forest feng shui lock bureau, used the essence of heaven and earth yin and yang to nourish qi and store rhyme, and then took it out and resold it in a few years, which was much more valuable than now.

What Jiang Lao Er didn't expect was that after these antiques were buried in the ghost star "lock game", when he went to look for them again a few years later, he only found two places, and everything else disappeared "hidden".

Although Jiang Lao Er was extremely sorry, he also knew that this matter could not be forced. Maybe I used the compass to find the ghost star back then, and the location of the lock was wrong, so the thing was gone. No one can complain about this, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame it for not being proficient in learning and finding the wrong mountain of ghost stars.

Time has passed, and in the 90s of the last century, the antique business slowly became popular. Jiang Lao'er's two sons grew up, they inherited their father's skills, and made a fortune by turning real and fake antiques, and the scenery was infinite for a while.

At this time, everyone knew the value of antiques, and even the old farmers in the remote mountainous areas became more savvy, and the things in the old houses at home were not sold, so it was becoming more and more difficult for antique dealers to go to the countryside to pick up leaks, and to collect some valuable good things.

After the death of their father, Jiang Rongzhan and the brothers began to ponder the source of antiques. Their Jiang family has buried three batches of treasures before and after several generations, all of which are top-level antiques and countless good things. If all the treasures are dug up, the Jiang family will be able to make a fortune, and they are definitely the best in the antique circle.

They have learned some knowledge in recent years, and they know that there will be a phenomenon of "treasure escape" in hidden treasures, but things are hidden for less than a hundred years, and even if they escape, it is impossible to escape too deep and too far, and there are still traces to be found.

They decided to follow the map, take out the ancestral treasure map, and look for it little by little.

But finding treasures is not an overnight thing, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, the Jiang family invested in the film and television industry, got a crew to shoot ancient culture documentaries, and then went to various places to investigate treasures in the name of the crew's filming and framing.

Until two years ago, Jiang Rongzhan's eldest brother led the crew to find Baxian Town in the southwest by chance, and his wife and son got the news and immediately set off for the ancient town, accompanied by Jiang Rongzhan's eldest son Jiang Mo.

After arriving in Baxian Town, everyone was very excited, and Jiang Mo specially used the local Ming Dynasty buildings as the background to take a few selfies and send them to Jiang Rongzhan.

Then Jiang Mo left a message on WeChat, saying the specific location of Eight Immortals Town, and then asked Jiang Rongzhan to wait for good news, because they would soon be able to find clues to the family and treasures.

But Jiang Rongzhan was upset that night, he couldn't sleep, and he had a very ominous premonition when he looked at the thunderstorm outside the window.

He suddenly remembered that in the photo taken by his son, there was a background of the eaves of the Taoist temple, and he suddenly felt cold and his hair stood on end, and he quickly called his son and asked them not to stay in the Taoist temple overnight.

As a result, the phone could not be connected, and the brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews also lost contact.

Jiang Rongzhan suddenly panicked, and hurriedly gathered several martial arts masters around him, took a plane to the southwest overnight, and went to the Eight Immortals Town according to the address Jiang Mo said.

When they arrived at the place, they found that it was a small village, and there was no ancient town of the Ming Dynasty at all. Villagers accidentally found more than 30 bodies by the river, as well as some damaged camera equipment.

Jiang Rongzhan found Jiang Mo in the corpse, and his son only had one breath left, handed him the blood-stained talisman array, and then died without saying a word.

The police investigated the entire village, and the villagers were not suspected of murder. The corpse appeared as if out of thin air, with a fatal knife wound to the neck, but not a lot of blood. And there are a lot of belongings on the corpse, obviously not for money, the only suspicious thing is that the memory cards in the camera are all gone.

In the end, the matter became an unsolved case, and no clues to the murderer have been found until now.

Jiang Rongzhan's son Jiang Mo, as well as his brother and sister-in-law and nephew, and the crew members, all died overnight, and this incident hit him very hard, thinking that the talisman array was very dangerous and a bad thing.

Jiang Rongzhan found a lot of ancient books and materials, and asked experts to help study the array plate, but no one could understand the meaning of the cloud pattern on the case.

Every time he opened the shell of the array disk, he could smell a strange fishy smell, mixed with the rust of the ancient brass, and the eerie feeling was very strong.

This thing made him nervous, and he wanted to throw it away several times, but the array plate was something that Grandpa Tai brought out of the family back then, and it was also the only token that could find the clues of the family, so it must not be lost.

Jiang Rongzhan locked the array disk in the safe, planning not to touch it for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, I suddenly received a mysterious text message, which mentioned the word "Red Mansion", if you want to know the secret, you will take the talisman array plate to the train station to find the connector to exchange.

Jiang Rongzhan was very shocked, the word "Red Mansion" is a treasure clue left by Grandpa Tai and Grandpa, why would outsiders know this. So he found someone to install a tracking locator in the metal shell of the array disk, and as long as the other party got the array disk, he could track it down to the end.

went to the train station to meet the connector, Jiang Rongzhan didn't have to go out in person for such a thing, he arranged for his distant nephew Jiang Wan to do it, but the matter was not done, but he lost the array.

The development of things turned around, so that Jiang Rongzhan did not expect, Jiang Wan's legs were broken, he was concussed unconscious, and the clues of the whole thing seemed to be broken, but a new key person appeared.

That's Yunkang.

There is only one shell left in the array disk, and you don't have to guess to know that the things inside must be in Yunkang's hands.

Jiang Rongzhan can't figure it out, the Jiang family hasn't understood the mystery of the array for several generations, does Yunkang have the ability to uncover the mystery? Perhaps he is the connector of the railway station and knows what the meaning of "Red Mansion" represents.

This person is not only dangerous, but there must be some conspiracy. Jiang Rongzhan narrowed his eyes, the Jiang family couldn't mess with themselves, first send someone to investigate secretly, and then study how to deal with it.

It's just that Jiang Rongzhan's sons and nephews are dead, Jiang Wan has become crippled again, and it's not easy to find someone to share his worries and do things.

Although the Jiang family has raised a few powerful martial artists, they are all brave and unscrupulous, and letting them do such things will only get worse and worse.

Jiang Rongzhan thought that he also had a prospective son-in-law, who was engaged to his daughter Jiang Xixi a year ago, this son-in-law is shrewd and capable, and he is also safe, and he should be able to become his right-hand man.

Thinking of this, Jiang Rongzhan made a phone call to his prospective son-in-law: "Ding Pan, you help me investigate a person, be more careful, remember not to startle the snake, this person's name is Yunkang!" ”
