Chapter 6: Mass Graves
In the eyes of others, maybe Uncle Tang is just an old man who is half-naked into the soil to drink tea and game, but in Tang Zhongmou's eyes, he is the closest to his master in the village, I heard that this old man was a soldier when he was young, from the War of Resistance against Japan to the founding ceremony, he has experienced a special period and the May Fourth Movement, as for the resistance to a few stars and a few bars on his shoulder, no one knows, because after he returned to Tangjiagou, except for a military uniform without a military rank, he didn't bring anything back, and now he is almost ninety years old, and he has no children and no daughters around him, There are a few young men who will come to send something to the old man, as for the origin, it is also guessed by everyone, the old man did not express his position, so naturally there is no positive conclusion, and Tang Zhongmou has been back for so many years to play chess with him every day, just to learn something from this old man, listen to him say a few words of good words, that's all, "do your best to listen to the destiny of heaven", maybe the best answer.
At dawn today, the young man codenamed Greedy Wolf and the woman were already waiting for him at the entrance of the village in a military jeep, judging from the license plate, it belonged to the "Jianghu Garrison District", Tang Zhongmou was not a hairy boy, he knew how powerful this thing was, so he had a different vision of these two young people, as for what kind of identity they had reached, he really couldn't guess, he only knew that driving such a car to go there casually would be treated like a VIP, of course, If only the other party wasn't blind.
"Mr. Tang!"
When the greedy wolf saw Tang Zhongmou coming, he got out of the car and greeted him, bowed and saluted, while the woman was lying in the car with a disdainful face, put her feet on the steering wheel, closed her eyes and recuperated, she thought that she didn't have the kind of vision of the greedy wolf to be able to see what was different about Tang Zhongmou, not to mention whether he was old enough to be virtuous, the swarthy city was really annoying, so it was normal that this female Hades who liked to kill with a knife would not have any good feelings for a feminine man like Tang Zhongmou.
Tang Zhongmou said: "Let's talk while walking, it should take a day and a half to leave Yang here, and I only have half a day to survey the terrain, so don't be ado!" ”
The greedy wolf nodded, made a gesture of please, and said, "Sir, please get in the car!" ”
On October 6, 2008, the weather was fine, today I arrived in a remote mountainous area in Kaiyang, Shuchuan, where it was barren, we searched for a long time to find a village that has been abandoned, there is no family in it, and the weather in September, there is a cool yin here, it is a fierce land, I told the greedy wolf that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, damage the yang qi, and then enter the yin house and die quickly, so we didn't dare to stay longer, hurriedly left this village, and went directly to Guihu Mountain, where I simply wanted to leave it directly, What kind of person wants to cut off his children and grandchildren, and he actually built a mansion on a mass grave.
Tang Zhongmou put away the diary, did not dare to write it down, but after writing, he took out a box of matches, wiped one, and burned the thick diary, this behavior made the greedy wolf standing beside him very puzzled, but this is a matter of people, he didn't ask much, but Tang Zhongmou himself explained: "This diary was written after the death of the blind old man, and the main record is the time when I did digging people's ancestral graves in those years, and I haven't dared to turn it over since I finished writing, because I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, I'm afraid that I've done so many immoral things, and after I die, they will come to me for revenge and ask me why I demolished his house, that's it, karma, so if I die in the future, I'm not ready to find a way back for myself, and ask someone to throw my ashes into the Yangtze River. ”
The greedy wolf said: "Mr. Tang can see it thoroughly, and I admire it!" ”
Tang Zhongmou waved his hand and asked, "Is there any smoke?" ”
The greedy wolf handed over a piece of China, and by the way, he helped him to point it, Tang Zhongmou took a deep breath, sat on the ground and looked at the sunset that was about to set in the sky, rendering the sky as if it was splashed with a layer of red ink, not dazzling, very soft, and said: "If I could see through it, I wouldn't burn the diary here, and I would talk at length!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, do you have the ability to see what the door is, the sun is going down and you are still smoking here!"
The woman who spoke was the driver for them all the way, and after listening to the greedy wolf chatting with her a little, he also knew the woman's name, or code name, which was also taken from the Big Dipper [Lian Zhen], the ancients said that this star is repeatedly changeable and unpredictable, and it is the most difficult to understand, and it is suitable to put it on her, and the woman's heart is a needle, so he is most annoyed by the woman's mind, too tired, and the probability of being wrong is relatively high.
The greedy wolf frowned and said, "Lian Zhen, how many times have you said it, pay attention!" ”
Lian Zhen clasped her hands, looked down at Tang Zhongmou who was sitting on the ground, and chuckled: "If he really has the ability, I'm afraid of what I will say!" ”
Tang Zhongmou said slowly: "I don't know who took this turtle and tiger mountain, for the time being, I regard the turtle as a Xuanwu and the tiger as a white tiger, which can be described as a yin and yang decline, plus there is no water source around, so it can only be used as a mass grave for these lonely souls and wild ghosts, it is all yin, and this yin house is just built in the place where yin qi gathers, it doesn't matter, and I also managed to use the five elements gossip to seal the yin qi, there is only one reason for this practice of cutting off children and grandchildren, there is a very important thing hidden in the tomb, It's important to take him as a beast in the next life, make a cow and a horse as a mortgage, and don't want anyone to move it, the terrain I have been optimistic, walk eight steps in the opposite direction from the tomb, and start digging from there, about five meters or so should be the isolation layer of the tomb, but don't do it tonight, tomorrow at noon at twelve o'clock, when you dig to the isolation layer, it will be almost two o'clock, the yang is the heaviest, after entering the safety point, there is another one, the place where this tomb is buried is a flat land, I think this tomb is probably very large, as for what is so big I don't know! ”
The greedy wolf said truthfully: "Until now, I will tell Mr. Tang truthfully, in fact, this tomb is just the tomb of a storyteller in the Ming Dynasty, we have been looking for it since ten years ago, and we finally found it until last month, and invited many masters to come and see, either scared away or died, and then I heard that there is a person in this line who is particularly powerful, so I found Mr. Tang!" ”
Tang Zhongmou's eyes narrowed slightly, slowly smoked the cigarette in his mouth, and said: "Storyteller, this kind of profession began to form in the Tang Dynasty, and there were more of them in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were many famous ones, I am strange that there is something on these people that can make people wearing Jianghu garrison license plates so curious, of course, we rob tombs for money, you may be for something, maybe such things are not valuable!" ”
The greedy wolf sat next to Tang Zhongmou and handed him a cigarette, lit it himself, took a deep breath, and chuckled: "Who will come to rob this kind of tomb for money, we are just looking for a book, as for what is the use, I don't know, for us, we can only obey the words of the boss, don't think that driving this car is very beautiful, in fact, the name is fake, and the car is also fake!" “
Tang Zhongmou patted the greedy wolf's shoulder and sighed: "I want to know about the sword robbery in the world, but listen to the sound of slaughtering the door in the middle of the night!" “
The greedy wolf looked into the distance and said indifferently: "I have struggled desperately, but in the end I know that I have no choice, if something happens to me, I will ask Mr. Tang to take care of Lian Zhen, she is still young, although her temper is a little worse!" ”
"You're not big," Tang Zhongmou smiled bitterly, put the cigarette butt under his feet and stepped on it, and said: "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you, the guys who worked with me back then don't know how many times I have been pulled back from the Ghost Gate, for the sake of you letting me smoke a few good cigarettes, I will try my best to bargain with Lord Yama!" “
"Thank you Mr. Tang then," the greedy wolf smiled slightly, and said again, "Actually, it doesn't matter, really!" “
Tang Zhongmou didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, he lit the second cigarette, there will inevitably be a lot of karma in life, but it's a pity that he can't even see through his own sea of suffering, naturally he doesn't have the ability to help others, his blind old man said "Everything has a fixed number, don't force it", Tang Zhongmou will think about some of the words his father said to his master every day, but remember is remember, he always can't see through, he doesn't know why, maybe he hasn't really been able to see the ordinary things in the world with a normal heart, But when he can't figure it out, he is indifferent, the so-called cultivation and cultivation, the cultivation is the heart, and the practice is virtue, and he still does both of them.
The two sat on the edge of the cliff until twilight fell, except for those who chatted at the beginning, the rest didn't say much, just sat and looked at the sky in the distance, smoked cigarette butts for two or three hours, and let Lian Zhen, who went out to buy food, shook her head helplessly, walked over and gave them two points of KFC respectively, and then she herself sat next to the greedy wolf and ate it, not to mention that this girl usually has a murderous face when she looks at it, and she won't have that feeling when she has a side face.
Tang Zhong just took the fries and coke, and then gave the rest to the greedy wolf, saying: "I'm used to being a vegetarian, and I don't like meat, so give it to you!" “
The greedy wolf was not polite and took the things to Lian Zhen.
Lian Zhen glared at Tang Zhongmou and said unhappily: "I'm afraid that if your small body can't hold up and starve to death tomorrow, no one will take us into the ancient tomb, and if you don't eat it, you won't eat and pull it down!" “
Tang Zhongmou smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have not eaten in the tomb for three days and three nights, don't worry if you don't die of hunger, and tomorrow as long as I go in with the greedy wolf, you stay outside and help me guard the formation!" “
Lian Zhen was dissatisfied: "Why, can't three people go in?" ”
Tang Zhongmou said with a smile: "It's okay for a few people to go in, it's just that this kind of underground tomb is originally like yin, if you go in, I'm afraid the two of us will die the fastest, so for the safety of your greedy wolf brother, you must not go in, and the formation I put outside is not good-looking, I will tell you tomorrow, if you don't want to have an accident, just listen to me!" ”
