Chapter 467: The Legends in Wu Xi's History (27)

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, some precious timber has the embodiment of market value, especially before the prosperous era of Kangqian, China has the germination of capitalism, commodities have a channel of exchange with foreign countries, the market no longer relies on the single way of survival of the workshop in hand, with good wood to create exquisite furniture, with a certain consumer market. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info ...... Longhu Mountain was mined and excavated. At that time, there was no concept of forest resources. Everyone spares no effort to exploit, originally because of the bad feng shui and to be able to "survive" the Longhu Mountain, after the Ming and Qing dynasties of indiscriminate felling, became only ordinary wood and flowers of the ordinary mountain, the ecology was ruthlessly destroyed, it is a pity, has been developed to the period of the War of Resistance against Japan, many small armed forces, will rely on the steepness of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain to carry out guerrilla warfare, in the War of Resistance against Japan, achieved certain results. It's just a fire from the Japanese devils that destroyed the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain Range.

The supernatural legends about Longhu Mountain did not exist during the Anti-Japanese War, in fact, when Longhu Mountain became a mass grave, there were many supernatural legends about it. In many Chinese supernatural classical masterpieces, the supernatural stories about the mountain are basically derived from Longhu Mountain. Until now, many Wu Xi people and tourists from other places do not dare to visit Longhu Mountain, and even the surrounding area with Longhu Mountain as the core has not been effectively developed. How so? There was once a real estate developer who wanted to get the land around Longhu Mountain and build a commercial circle, but later, the real estate developer gave up, why? At night, when you look at Longhu Mountain, you see a lot of small green beads blinking symmetrically. The reason for this is that the mountain is full of wild cats, and it has become a mountain of "night owls" in the true sense of the word. Just looking at it makes me panic. And there's more to it. When it comes to the spring estrus period, the whole Longhu Mountain can hear the "whooping" cat meow, you want to build a business circle in this place, and the most guests are not people but cats!

said a lot about the introduction of Longhu Mountain, so let's get down to business, I have to talk about Xu Jining's entry into Longhu Mountain to pick medicines. It is said that the herb collector has the same characteristic as the tomb robber: he can look at qi. Tomb robbers stand at the foot of the mountain and look up at the mountain, and then locate it according to the feng shui of the ancients to determine whether there are ancient tombs in the mountain. What kind of tombs are there. This is a term in the grave robber industry called "dragon hunting". How do you understand this? There are many ancient tombs, but there is a rule for burial in these ancient tombs, that is, the theory of feng shui must be respected. In this place with good feng shui, I can build a tomb. What if the descendants want to rob the tomb and there is no map? Then look for the best of that Feng Shui, the unexplored place. Mastering the feng shui of the ancients is basically a trick and a quasi. The dragon in "Dragon Hunting" is the best feng shui in feng shui: the land of dragon prosperity. The cave of course means tomb. Why did Ming Emperor Zhu Di move the capital to Beijing? That place in Beijing is the place where I prosper. Why did the Qing Dynasty build a capital outside the Guan? In the same way, it is also the place where I prosper. Why did Chiang Kai-shek use his most elite troops to defend Shanghai? Or is it because Shanghai is the place of my old Jiang's dragon prosperity. So this place of dragon prosperity is the best feng shui in feng shui, if you find this place? Then you will be completely won in this life!

So. The best Feng Shui masters come from the tomb robbing industry. You have a sign on the side of the road, next to the temple, "Feng Shui Master", you have to ...... Most of them are indiscriminate people. People who understand feng shui still need to hang their own flags and set up stalls so hard? No need! Just like many scams, if anyone has any lottery insider information, stock market insider information, and still need to tell you? Most of them have made a fortune on their own! China is not good at this, the ancestors handed down this little thing to the loser, not good to concentrate on research, engaged in some three-legged cat theory in a hurry to swagger, not only a lot of things are lost, but also let many people be deceived, in the end, now many people do not believe that this feng shui is a superstition, dispensable things. Just ask: Who can understand gossip after Zhuge Liang? Who can know the four elephants after Liu Bowen's death? Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants play gossip. Modern feng shui masters, it is already a great thing to be able to master the two rituals, and these gossip and four elephants can be regarded as a mastery of extinction!

In the final analysis, tomb robbers will know whether there are tombs in this mountain when they look at this mountain, and in the same way, a medicine collector can know whether there are good medicinal materials in this mountain when they look at this mountain! The tomb robbers use the "dragon search point", and the medicine picker uses the "flow gas orientation", how to explain this "flow gas direction"? "Qi" is actually the growth environment of herbs, flow of qi is the change of environment, direction is not the meaning of determining the position, but a direction of the movement of this "qi", for example, what is the direction of the wind, whether there are boulders to block it, if there is, then there must be a good medicinal material that can be picked under the rocks. Of course, I'm just giving an example here, and in the real world, it will definitely not be so easy. This is a skill that can only be mastered through observation and learning. And Xu Jining has such a skill. And Longhu Mountain is precisely the "feng shui treasure land" in Xu Jining's eyes.

In fact, if you pay attention to the geographical environment of Longhu Mountain that I introduced earlier, you will know that Longhu Mountain is a good place to produce herbs, the Jiangnan area is humid, all kinds of plants and trees have sufficient moisture, of course, you can grow wildly, but the topography of Longhu Mountain is different from other mountains in the Jiangnan area, towering mountains, full of dangers, and these places are exactly the places that medicine pickers like, and they are the holy places for medicine picking! Originally, he wanted to find a guide who was familiar with Longhu Mountain to take him into the mountain, but the reality was that no one knew the environment in Longhu Mountain, so he chose to have it, and no one was willing to risk his life to take Xu Jining into the mountain. The following quote is very revealing:

"Fellow, I heard that your ancestral grave is buried in Longhu Mountain, why don't you take me into Longhu Mountain to have a look? I'll give you the ocean. ā€

"Ancestral grave? It's been a long time since I went. The mayor of the town issued a notice two days ago, saying that Longhu Mountain is not peaceful, do you dare to go? ā€

"Why isn't it peaceful?"

"The people who entered the mountains are either dead or missing! Can't enter! Don't say it's for the ocean, even if it's for gold, I won't go in! ā€

"Fellow, can you draw me a map of the mountains?"

"I told you, this mountain is not very peaceful, I would rather not worship my ancestors, than go into the mountain, some time ago the Japanese devils burned this mountain, many guerrillas were burned to death in the mountain? There are unjust souls everywhere, you can't go, you can't go! ā€

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Jining to give up the idea of entering Longhu Mountain because he has no guide, how to say it? Xu Jining, like those guerrillas, is a person who has been born and died on the battlefield, and has no ideological baggage of fear or fear, and the guerrillas can go into the mountains to fight guerrillas, so why can't Xu Jining go into the mountains to collect medicine? Without a guide, you may take more detours and delay a little time, this is nothing, Xu Jining brought three days of dry food, presumably these three days should be able to pick enough herbs!

Entering the mountains to collect medicine pays attention to traveling lightly, and none of the things brought are waste, and they must be used. In addition to bringing three days of dry food, Xu Jining also brought a sickle, a back basket, and most importantly, a climbing rope.

At that time, the mountaineering rope was not as particular as it is now, it was nothing more than a hemp rope, with a thick iron set and a hammer, if there was a suitable and solid attachment, then tie one end of the hemp rope to the attachment, and then climb the hemp rope into the cliff, there is no suitable attachment, it is fixed with thick iron nails, as a temporary attachment. After this iron is fixed, it cannot be taken out, so the thick iron nails are generally worn three or four, at least to ensure that three or four cliffs can be climbed. If this mountain enters the field, the thick iron nails will always be there, and the medicine picker will no longer need to bring thick iron nails! Xu Jining entered Longhu Mountain for the first time, of course, he had to prepare a few more thick iron nails, and now that it was a war period, Xu Jining also brought a pistol with him just in case.
