Chapter 038: Rumors
Before leaving, Lu Le repeatedly instructed that there are many organs in the ancient tomb, and Zhang Lu's tomb should not be underestimated, so let us be more careful.
Anyone who knows a little history should know that Zhang Lu was not only a prince in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but also the third generation of the Heavenly Master of the Wudoumi Sect.
At that time, he was quite influential in Hanzhong, and his Five Bucket Rice Sect was also known as "Five Bucket Rice Dao".
Its predecessor was the Zhengyi and Heavenly Master Dao created by Zhang Daoling, which belonged to a sect of Taoism.
It's just that Zhang Lu personally added some other things on the basis of Zhengyi, and it is said that at that time in the Hanzhong area, there were nine out of ten believers.
As you can imagine, it is extremely difficult to go down to his tomb!
What's more, Wang Ling'er and I don't know anything about tomb robbery.
By the time I arrived at Lushan in Hanzhong, it was already afternoon.
I first went to the town to find a place to live, and after a simple meal, I went to the town with Wang Ling'er to find someone to inquire about the tomb of Zhang Lu in Lushan.
According to an old farmer who sells vegetables, the origin of the name of Lushan is because there used to be a white-haired old immortal who rode a deer on it.
The old farmer didn't look like the townspeople, and he chattered a lot.
It's all about the deeds of the white-haired immortals who slay demons and eliminate demons, but the old farmer only briefly talked about the matter of Zhang Lu's tomb.
After bidding farewell to the old peasants, I said to Wang Ling'er, "If you want to check Zhang Lu's tomb, it is probably useless to ask these people." ”
Wang Ling'er naturally understood what I meant, there are three religions, nine streams and seventy-two lines in the world, and when you encounter this matter, you have to find someone who knows how to ask to find out.
But it is indeed difficult to find knowledgeable tomb robbers in places where people are not familiar with life.
After much inquiry, we finally learned from a vendor that there was a small thrift market in town.
He said that some old antique items are usually sold in the market.
As soon as I heard it, I immediately understood.
The thrift market they are talking about here is actually equivalent to the antique street, and most of the products sold are some dark objects and feminine objects.
To put it bluntly, it's something that was taken out of an ancient tomb.
So, Wang Ling'er and I went to the thrift market again, because it was already afternoon, and there were almost no people on the street.
I took a general look and saw that the whole street was not very large.
The shops on both sides are very dilapidated, and if people say that it is a thrift market, I even suspected that this is an old street that is about to be demolished.
Wang Ling'er stopped and asked me with a little questioning, can you find tomb robbers here?
I laughed dryly and said to her: "Sister Ling'er, there is a way that is interlaced like a mountain, and there must be a difference between your yin and yang line and tomb robbery." ”
"I've heard my grandfather tell me before that although you can't always find tomb robbers in the antique street, it's much easier to inquire about it than in other places."
Wang Ling'er curled her mouth after hearing this, but did not speak.
I didn't care whether she believed it or not, I searched the old street, and walked into a shop on the street first.
The boss was a middle-aged man with glasses, and he greeted us with a smile on his face: "How about it, are you two going to buy antiques?" ”
"Please inside, please inside, don't hide it from the two, the antiques in my store are all with an earthy smell, absolutely genuine!"
After the boss finished speaking, he poured us two cups of tea, "Look at it casually, antique calligraphy and painting, jade and jade, you are satisfied." ”
Seeing him so attentive, I smiled at the boss a little embarrassedly, "Actually, we just want to trouble you to inquire about something." ”
"Huh? Inquiring? ”
The boss's face immediately changed, "So you didn't come to buy something?" You said it earlier. ”
As he spoke, he took back the tea he had poured earlier, and then asked with a straight face: "What's the matter, you hurry up and ask, I still have to do business." ”
I thought, this guy changed his face too quickly, right?
"Boss, do you know about the tomb of Zhang Lu in Lushan?" I asked quietly.
"Why don't you know, everyone in the town who is a little older knows." The boss said impatiently.
"Why are you asking this?"
I glanced at Wang Ling'er on the side, and then gestured to the boss.
Then he tapped his finger lightly on the teacup on the counter three more times.
This set of gestures is something I heard from the old village chief before, and the old village chief said that anyone in the tomb robbery line can understand it at a glance.
"Why, are you?" The boss's eyes widened, and his tone of voice was obviously not as arrogant as before.
Wang Ling'er nodded to the boss, "So there are some things I want to ask." ”
"Ouch, unfortunately, two."
The boss was embarrassed at this time, "You're a step too late!" ”
"The tomb on Deer Mountain has been robbed!"
When Wang Ling'er and I heard this, we hurriedly asked the boss when it happened?
The boss recalled for a moment and said, "It must have been more than ten years since this happened!" ”
He said that at that time, he also heard from a group of tomb robbers in the town that the tomb on Lushan had already been robbed, and the tomb crossing was halfway up Lushan.
Back then, half of the mountain collapsed, and now it's windy and sunny, and I don't know where it is.
Wang Ling'er asked him, do you know who did it?
The boss squeezed his forehead and tried to recall, "I heard that it seems that a person named Lu Xiaojun teamed up with two brothers and sisters surnamed Xie to do it." ”
Wang Ling'er and I were immediately deflated when we heard this, we have been stealing for more than ten years, if there is Neidan, I am afraid they would have taken it long ago!
After a while, I asked my boss again, "Do you know a person named Liu Sandao?" ”
Lao Wang Tou said that it was Liu Sandao who told his father about Neidan back then, and if he found Liu Sandao or his descendants, he might gain something.
The boss shook his head and said: "Liu Sandao has been dead for more than ten years, don't expect to ask him, he is alone, and almost no one cares about Qingming Chongyang!" ”
"That's it, little brother, I think you're good, why don't I introduce two people for you. They are also walking with you, and they have a big deal to do right now, and they are worried that they can't find people. ”
Wang Ling'er and I glanced at each other, and I opened my mouth to ask the boss: "What kind of big deal?" ”
Originally, we weren't very interested in these things at all, and we just asked casually, but the boss's next words made us feel excited.
The boss looked around, and then lowered his voice and said to me and Wang Ling'er: "You have been robbing tombs all year round, you should know Wang Chongyang's tomb, right?" ”
Hearing him mention Wang Chongyang's tomb, I immediately nodded, even if I don't know, I have to pretend to know, I must do enough to act.
"That's what I'm talking about when I talk about big deals!"
The boss smiled mysteriously, "However, you must agree to one condition for me before I can introduce you on your behalf." ”
Wang Ling'er was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Even if you talk about it, as long as it is reasonable, it is easy to talk about anything." ”
"Okay, it's refreshing! In fact, the conditions are very simple, after the matter is completed, you must sell it to me at a low price as soon as possible, is there a problem? ”
I thought he had any conditions, but that's it!
Anyway, Wang Ling'er and I only came here for Neidan, and we didn't think about anything else, so we agreed to the boss.
Then, he called and notified two people to come over.
The boss introduced that the two were siblings, the tall one was called Fat Hai, and the short one was the elder brother, called Skinny Monkey.
The two brothers are considered to be a family of tomb robbers, and they have dealings with him all year round.
After introducing each other to each other, the few of us then discussed countermeasures.
Originally, Wang Chongyang's tomb, Wang Ling'er and I didn't have any hope at all.
But listening to the thin monkey, Wang Chongyang's real tomb is not in the tomb of the living dead in Chongyang Palace, but in a place called "Xiaodingfeng" north of Zhongnan Mountain.
The thin monkey said that he had managed to get the news from a man named Jiang Zhong in Liu Jiang Village.
Jiang Zhongzu was a well-known craftsman and is said to have participated in the construction of Wang Chongyang's tomb.
At that time, Wang Chongyang deliberately set up a suspicious grave in the tomb of the living dead, but in fact, the real tomb was located in the "small top front".
For thousands of years, almost no one knew about it.
Seeing that the thin monkey swore and said it well, Wang Ling'er and I were naturally happy in our hearts, so we followed the two of us and drove to Zhongnan Mountain.
