Chapter 39: The Dragon's Back 1
Lin Hai didn't stop his grandfather from talking anymore, maybe saying it was a kind of catharsis for his grandfather, and the backlog of his heart for decades would sometimes really crush a healthy person if he didn't get it properly released.
Lin Hai quietly listened to his grandfather's story.
That was a few decades ago, when my grandfather was only a teenager, due to the perennial war, many villagers have starved to death, and my grandfather actually had three brothers, but the youngest one couldn't survive this year, and he fell seriously ill when he couldn't eat enough, and finally passed away. Looking at the remaining two sons, the grandfather was worried for a long time, and finally made up his mind to do what he did more than ten years ago, more than ten years ago, the grandfather said that he was working for people outside for a short time, but in fact, he was digging graves with people, and after doing it with people a few times, he felt that it was detrimental to the destiny of heaven, and left with the money he had received, and rushed back to the village to buy land and buy a house, wanting to be a down-to-earth farmer, but under the war, how to come to fertile soil.
On a very cold winter night, Taigong returned to the village with a few people outside, this is the partner that Taigong had cooperated with more than ten years ago, they came from all parts of R City, and none of them knew Grandpa.
"Really decided to dig the dragon's back?" A somewhat sloppy middle-aged man asked.
"That's right, no one has ever touched anywhere, I have deliberately stepped on it before, the surrounding trees are dense with thorns, and no one has ever been in or out."
"However, I heard that it is very evil there, and when you enter it in broad daylight, you can't see anyone from a distance of ten meters, but in the distance the whole mountain is clear, and I heard that in the past, another group of bandits wanted to occupy the mountain as the king, but there were more than 30 people who went in, and only two of them ran out stupidly, and they were afraid to be careful when they moved there" Another tall and thin middle-aged man said.
"It's death to live this day, it doesn't matter if we die, but the wife and children at home have to give them a chance to live, I think it's just this one", said a fat old man.
"It's okay, people die and birds are facing the sky, counting balls, and they have become a few living families, and they can be regarded as accumulating virtue on behalf of the tomb owner" The sloppy middle-aged man also nodded and said, "That's it, when something happens to the brothers, the living must send one to his home." Several people nodded with serious expressions when they heard this.
"In this way, I will bring my eldest boy, he has yin and yang eyes, and can avoid a lot of trouble for us" Taigong called his grandfather over at this time.
"What? It's true? Several people looked at Grandpa in surprise, and Taigong nodded.
"Okay, as long as you enter the mountain and find the tomb successfully, let him guard outside, it's too dangerous to go in, you can't destroy the child, then he will have half a share, what do you think?" The chubby old man said, and everyone nodded in agreement.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Grandpa followed Taigong and the four of them to rush to the dragon's back with tools on their backs.
The dragon's back belongs to the junction of Linhai and their town and J province, this mountain extends directly from J province to B town, the dragon's head is in J province, to Linhai their town is the dragon's back, because the dragon's back is high and uplifted, so the local people call the dragon's back, the dragon's tail belongs to B town, the dragon's back is high and steep, the top of the mountain is foggy all the year round, only the night of the full moon can see the top of the mountain, usually even if the sun is big, the top of the mountain is covered with a layer of mist, it is not real. It's not that no one has tried to climb the top of the dragon's back mountain before, but it's a sunny day, and you can see the top of the mountain when you go, but it's dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the entire mountain top is shrouded in dark clouds and thunder, so that people don't dare to move forward half a step, and the people who come back say so, but the strange thing is that the people who look at the dragon's back from a distance don't see any changes in the dragon's back at all, and they can't see the lightning and thunder that the people who came back say, and the dark clouds are thick. There are also some feng shui masters who think that the feng shui here is good, but holding the compass up, the compass is dripping and turning, and there is no reason to see it, and the scientific theory is that the magnetic field there is very large, and the strange celestial phenomena and the compass are caused by magnetic field radiation, because there is nothing valuable except for the lush trees, and the people who collect firewood will not run so far and so high, and over time, it will become inaccessible, but I don't know how they think that there are tombs there.
Later, the grandfather listened to the grandfather and knew that they were discovered by looking at the tomb gas, every full moon night, the tomb gas will become thick and easy to identify, and only people like them can see it, the older the tomb, the tomb gas will become thinner, and it can only be distinguished under the shroud of the moonlight, which is why they chose to do it tonight on the night of the full moon.
The shadows of the trees in the mountain are sufficient, the grass is rustling, and occasionally a stone rock suddenly comes out, and it looks even more deserted under the illumination of the moonlight, and the grandfather is only a teenager, walking beside the grandfather, although they are in the middle, but the grandfather still feels trembling. Grandpa can see things that ordinary people can't see since he was a child, that is, the yin and yang eyes that Taigong said, and that's exactly what happened, grandpa generally didn't dare to go out at night, but this time Taigong wanted to bring him, although grandpa didn't understand, but it was certain that there must be things that grandpa didn't want to see in this mountain, in order to avoid troublesome things such as ghosts hitting the wall, Taigong decided to bring grandpa with him.
Everyone who was hurrying was frightened by the grandfather who suddenly stopped, everyone knew that this little guy could see things they couldn't see, and this would suddenly stop, he must have seen something incredible. The grandfather knew that his grandfather was scared, so he hurriedly took his grandfather in his arms.
"Dad, there is a woman in red sitting on the stone rock in front of us, smiling at us" Grandpa lowered his head and didn't dare to look, and whispered to Taigong.
"Mao Tong" Taigong glanced at the thin and tall middle-aged man, Mao Tong nodded, took out a water bladder from his luggage, and poured a glass of red liquid into a cup, which Grandpa later knew was black dog blood. The thin middle-aged man smashed a cup full of black dog blood on the stone rock, and the grandfather saw the woman in red scream and disappear into a puff of green smoke. Everyone sighed, and was about to hurry away, but when they saw that the grandfather was shaking and not moving, they were so frightened that they all stopped their pace again, and looked around with a shocked face.
"Dad, there are two more in the back, they seem to be eating mud," said Grandpa hiding in Taigong's arms.
"Don't be afraid, these are newly dead wild ghosts, there is no intelligence, just like a rabbit looking for food everywhere, it can't hurt people" Taigong patted his grandfather's back, everyone heard that this was the case, but they all sighed, grandpa is strange, they are not afraid of feelings, this ghost is also graded, and the feelings are that this newly dead ghost has no harm value.
Everyone continued to hurry, but the old man leaned on Taigong's side and said, "Old man, I think this fight is a little unusual, this is not enough, it will be doubled, there should not be such a dense ghost in normal times" Hearing Fat Dun say this, Taigong also frowned and nodded.
"Yes, although on the night of the full moon, there are many yin ghosts who come out to absorb yin qi, but it is very abnormal for old ghosts and new spirits to appear in the same place together," grandpa said, but after speaking, the two of them seemed to think of something terrible at the same time, and their eyes were bulging.
"Ah, is there a soul-sucking place here" The two of them said in unison, so frightened that the sloppy man and the thin Mao Tong who were walking in front stopped in their tracks.
"There is a soul-sucking place, I'm afraid there is a big zongzi," Fat Dun said dumbly.
"Not necessarily, some of the soul-sucking places are naturally formed, the magnetic field here is stronger than the average place, could it be caused by the magnetic field, the yin energy here is usually not too heavy, the sun is directly opposed, not the yin land" Grandpa said again.
"My fear is that the sun may not be able to get in here at all," Fat Dun added, with an eerie glint in his eyes.
"What do you say?" Several people looked at Fat Dun in surprise.
"Look at the top" Fat Dun raised his head, meaning to let a few people look at the sky, a few people looked up in confusion, but saw that the moon was shining, there was nothing abnormal at all, and looked at Fat Dun in confusion.
"You're looking underground," said Fat Dun again. A few of them looked to the ground again.
"Huh" The inhalation voices of several people became heavy when their eyes widened, as if they had seen something very incredible.
I saw that the moon was shining in the sky, but it was pitch black under their feet, and they couldn't even see the shadow of the grass, but the farther they walked, they could see the silver glow of the moon shining the leaves and grass clearly.
"How so?" The sloppy man's eyes were confused.
"Not good", Fat Dun seemed to suddenly think of something, and there was fear overflowing in his eyes.
