Chapter 7 The Bride

Wogua lay on his back on the haystack, this haystack was made by the two of them when they fell first, and immediately collected the dead branches and rotten leaves around it, although it was not soft enough, it was better than lying directly on the ground.

Moreover, the ground was a patch of turquoise moss, and everywhere it looked like the rotting corpses of insects, and Wogua had deliberately placed the haystack on a large flat stone, enough to accommodate three people lying horizontally on it at the same time.

The bonfire next to it was lit by Li Green Ant to burn more vigorously, and some thick wood was specially collected and put in the fire, although Wogua didn't know what Li Green Ant had for purpose, but it was always right to listen to him.

Xu Weihang held the gun, looked around nervously, his eyes were about to bulge, and he was trembling, although what Li Luant said to him did inspire him to a certain extent, but to a greater extent, it was to tell him that something would definitely come out of the darkness tonight and bite him.

Li Luant checked his package, sprinkled the ink fountain line, glutinous rice and the like that he saw in the nest melon package around the bonfire, and also used a stick and branch to stick and stick on the soft moss, and surrounded the straw stack with the ink fountain line, as for the peach wood sword and rune paper, they were tied to the ink fountain line.

I now have two soul bells, all of which are tied to the ink fountain line, as long as there is really something unclean, these things can protect one or two.

Just in case, Li Luant also buried the obsidian around the soil, but the Five Emperors of Wogua didn't rob him.

Browning is the handy weapon of the Lee Green Ant, full of bullets and eyeing the tiger.

Seeing Li Luant's arrangement, Wogua was also a little interested, and casually said, "Corporal Shell Lang, what are you worried about?" ”

"I just don't know what it is, so I'm worried."

The ink fountain thread in Li Luant's hand was wrapped into a sewing kit, and slowly began to circle around the branches, and the tied soul bell rang non-stop on it, and the peach wood sword and rune paper were also swaying. It's not necessarily that you're wrong. ”

"No, I'm sure."

"Why are you sure, do you know where the tomb is?"

Li Luant choked: He didn't know, he dared to see it based on this stone, but those speculations are not good to say to Wogua, I am afraid that it will make him afraid, it is better to let him have no heart and lungs, and it is better not to have anything happen.

Seeing that Li Luant was silent, Wogua continued, "Isn't there any way to directly determine whether there is an ancient tomb below?" ”

Li Luant casually said, "How can there be that method, if there really is, why do you need the existence of archaeology-" Jiang Yunsu's voice suddenly appeared in his head, his expression was stunned, and Wogua was surprised, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Luant raised his right hand, looked at Wogua, and looked solemn, "No, what I just said is not right, I can directly judge whether there is an ancient tomb below, and I can also judge the good luck and evil of this tomb, there is a way." ”

In an ancient tomb of Western Xia, Jiang Yunsu was identifying the pattern on a flat pot, only to see that the flat pot seemed to be wide in shape, magnificent, such as made of two shallow belly discs buckled, and the seams were mostly bridged with additional pile patterns, and at a glance it was a standard Xixia porcelain.

"You see, the flat pot is the most typical item in the Western Xia porcelain, and it is not seen in other porcelain kilns outside the Western Xia Dynasty. Most of them have a small mouth, short neck, and a flat round abdomen, and one or both sides of the center of the abdomen have a circled foot, rather than in the lower part corresponding to the spout, and the back one may play a stable role, and the front one may have a symmetrical and fixed effect. It is equipped with double or four series that can be worn on both sides, which is suitable for carrying on the body or attached to the horse's back, and is easy to carry, safe and practical when traveling hunting and grazing, which fully reflects the survival characteristics of the Tangut people. ”

Li Luant hurriedly wrote it down carefully beside him, "Before the professor, you said that the production of pots is very large, suitable for nomadic use, and it is a unique product of the party and the nation. The mastery of the three-dimensional difficulty and the degree of precision of the symmetry of the instrument type require special skills and mature experience, and it seems a little strange that there are so many flat pots here. ”

Jiang Yunsu smiled, "This also reflects the ingenuity of the party members," looked around, and found that there were too many flat pots here, and scratched his head a little strangely: the body of the pot is inconvenient to be made with a potter's wheel, it cannot be made by model, it can only be made by hand, or a combination of the three. Generally, there are only a small number of nobles in the royal palace, and they are still collected as treasures, and if they are buried, this is just a princess's tomb, and the specifications are far from the specifications of any king in Western Xia, how can there be so many flat pots?

Picked up a handful of soil and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and his face changed greatly, "It's not good, notify all the practitioners outside, get out of here quickly!" ”

But at this time, the students who were sorting out the utensils on it suddenly shouted in unison, with horror in the shouts, and the two hurriedly stepped forward, but saw that more than a dozen archaeologists fell to the ground with brushes, their faces were blue and black, as if they were poisoned, Li Luant looked at Jiang Yunsu with a panicked face, Jiang Yunsu calmed down, "The signal reception here is weak, you quickly use the walkie-talkie to call the village chief of the previous village first, call a few trailers, quickly pull them to the town, and give me glutinous rice!" ”

"Good!"

Li Luant didn't suspect him, and rushed straight out, rushing out, and when he came to the site with the village chief pushing a wooden cart, he saw that a few of the archaeologists on the ground had woken up leisurely, and they were a little strange, "Professor Jiang, just now?" ”

Jiang Yunsu shook his index finger at the edge of his mouth, "When I opened the entrance to the No. 8 pit, there was a slave burial pit at the bottom of the pit, and it was deliberately arranged so that as long as the living opened the tomb, they would definitely be hindered by the evil qi, and if they inhaled the evil qi and did not save it, they would be in danger." ”

Li Luant was amazed again and again when he heard this, then turned his head to Jiang Yunsu and said, "Then Professor Jiang, why did you just smell the soil in the mausoleum before this and know that the big thing here is not good?" ”

Jiang Yunsu smiled and told everything eloquently.

In the process of searching for the dragon point, the phase soil method is a very important auxiliary method, which can judge the prosperity and decline of the place by looking at the quality of the soil in the hole. As for how to investigate the good and bad luck of the cave soil, there are four kinds according to the summary of the Xiangtu master.

The first is the method of smelling the soil and distinguishing the air. That is, take the soil of "open well" that is several meters deep underground to smell, if its smell naturally hits people, if there is a fragrance, enter the five organs of people and reconcile with people, such as Zhilan ginseng, the nostrilous and lovely person, and the noble acupoint also. The soil on the surface of the earth was once exposed to the sun and rain, and its smell is unrecognizable, so it is not suitable for this way of investigation.

The second is color discrimination. The "color discrimination method" is recorded in Guo Pu's "Book of Burial": "The husband soil wants to be fine and firm, moist but not shiny, cut and cut jade, and prepare five colors." "The color of the soil is closely related to the quality of the qi veins. Why do you require a five-colored soil in the cave? The "Encyclopedia of Geography" explains that "the five qi are in the middle of the earth, the gold gas is white, the wood gas is green, the fire and red earth are yellow, and the earth is black." The five elements take yellow as the positive color, so they also take the pure color as the auspicious. It is both red and yellow, the bright one is especially beautiful, and the white is also good. Green is not more common to be close to black also. "If the soil is dry, and the clods are as big as chestnuts, or if the soil is wet like carrion, then such a place is a murderous burrow, and it is not good to be buried. Among the five colors of soil, red soil and loess are the best, followed by purple soil and white soil, and black soil is unlucky. The soil should also have a texture, the soil should be delicate but not hard, and the color of the soil should be distinct. If the soil is hard and the sand is loose, it is inferior soil.

The third is the "weighing soil method". That is, to weigh the weight per unit volume of soil. The method is: take a piece of Shi, one inch on all sides, call it, weigh more than nine taels for auspicious land; Five-seven-two is Zhongji; Three, four, two are fierce places. Or measure the soil with a bucket, crush the soil, measure the flat bucket mouth, call it, and each bucket is ten catties for the best; Eight or nine catties are medium; Seven catties is inferior. The higher the unit mass of soil, the better the feng shui of the place.

Fourth, the measurement method. In the center of the selected building foundation site, dig a small pit, pound the excavated soil through a fine sieve, and then fill the fine soil into the pit, do not compact, and the ground level can be, overnight, the next morning to observe, loose soil arch, then the earth is vigorous, Tuji; If the loose soil sinks, it means that the ground is weak and should not be used. "Xiangzhai Jing" recorded: "Dig the ground in the foundation site, use the circumference of one foot and two inches, and the depth is the same, and then sieve the original soil finely, restore it to the pit, and take the level as the degree, not according to the truth." After one night, get up the next morning to see, if the air is strong, the soil arches; Qi decay is concave and fierce. ”

Li Luant looked at Wogua calmly, "Wogua, less than a hundred meters away from here, there must be a big tomb." ”

Woguadeng stood up from the haystack and exclaimed, "Really? ”

It was silent, the silvery moonlight sprinkled on the jungle, and everywhere there were the chirping of cicadas and the cries of weavers after midsummer, and the tired moon hid in the clouds to rest, leaving only a few stars as if they were sentry.

The scent of the night fills the air, weaving a soft net that envelops all the scenery. At this time, the haystack looked like a wooden bed, and although it was dark when you looked up, the bonfire in front of you could still be lit by candles. All the eyes come into contact with are the grass and trees within the green net on the cover, and they are not as realistic as in the daytime, they all have vague and empty colors, each of which hides its subtleties and keeps its secrets, so that people have a dream-like feeling, a fantasy-like feeling.

Gradually, the original chirping of insects gradually became quieter, the bonfire made a "beep" sound in the burning, and some of the flame stars exploded, as if the stars in the sky fell into the flames, and jumped out because the temperature of the flames was too hot.

The cicadas were gone, the insects were gone, everything was quiet and terrifying, and the few people who had decided to be on duty in pairs unconsciously fell into a strange sleep.

There seems to be a kind of aroma in the air that can make people drowsy, licking the noses of a few people, making a few people quiet and calm, Li Green Ant and Nest Melon, forget it, the current Xu Weihang is a frightened bird, it is impossible to sleep, but he actually fell asleep strangely.

The quiet and terrible jungle did not even have a trace of wind, the surroundings were quiet and strange, the bonfires gradually began to fall apart, and the sparks that were constantly splashing out before also had the tendency of sunset, because there was not enough firewood, and there were a lot of ashes piled up inside.

"Rustleβ€”"

It was like the sound of something squeezing through the leaves.

"Rustle-"

There was more sound of leaves rubbing against each other, and it seemed to be some relatively large animal scraping the jungle coming.

"Click-"

Then it seemed to be the sound of a crab crawling on the ground with his claws, such a sound was actually very harsh in the silent air, but for some reason, Li Luant, Wogua, and Xu Weihang did not wake up, and were still asleep in a drowsy sleep, and Li Luant was still holding the Browning in his hand, and it seemed that he had suddenly fallen asleep when he was checking the gun just now.

Li Green Ant had another dream, and what appeared in the dream was the spider with a woman's face that he met last time, but this time the plot changed, and it became a nest of melons lying on the ground, and his neck was full of blood, and Li Green Ant wanted to rush up to save him, but his hands and feet seemed to be tied, and he couldn't move.

Even in his dreams, his ears could hear movement, and he felt something leaping towards him, and not far from him, in the darkness, there were many things crawling towards him, but he couldn't wake up anyway.

This aroma - what is the aroma?

"Ding-ding-"

The two soul bells that were buckled on the ink bucket line suddenly made a "Xuan" sound, and Li Luant, who was originally trapped in his dream, woke up in a big breath like a drowning person seeing land, Wogua and Xu Weihang rubbed their eyes and muttered.

"It's strange, I was still singing "Eighteen Touches" just now, in the past, this handsome singer sang this song more and more energetically, why did he fall asleep just now?" Wogua rubbed his eyes and sat up, Xu Weihang also woke up slowly, everyone looked at each other for a moment, and the things outside the ink fountain line were also stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect that under this aroma, the food in front of them would actually wake up.

I saw four long claws with crab claws bending and crawling, its abdomen was an oval belly pouch similar to a wasp, covered with black fluff, and its head was winding to its back, and there was actually a woman's face growing on its head!

Xu Weihang was stunned on the spot, and Wogua hurriedly smoothed him out for a long time, "Hey, if you want to die, you have to die seriously, don't be scared to death, okay?" I've only heard the shell lang say that the most aggrieved emperor fell into a dung pit and drowned, if you are scared to death by a spider monster, how can I explain to the black glasses. Hey, heyβ€”"

Xu Weihang woke up slowly, got up and looked at the spider again, and was about to faint when he landed, Li Luant gasped and muttered, "It turns out that it's true." ”

"What's true?" While pinching Xu Weihang's people, Wogua couldn't help but start complaining about other uselessness, but he heard Li Luant say, "Do you remember what you told me about the spider spirit before?" ”

"Remember, isn't that the object of your obscenity?" Twisting his brows weirdly, Li Green Ant was suddenly far away, and tentatively said, "The object of your obscenity, is this thing?" Grass, Corporal Husk, your taste is strong enough. ”

Li Luant lifted his eyelids, too lazy to argue, and immediately said, "In some Japanese folklore, they call this kind of creature the bride, but the prototype of the bride is the spider spirit in China's "Journey to the West", which is a monster that turns into a human form from a spider, which will tempt a man, and when the man is tempted, he will take the man's head and eat it. The weakness is the fear of fire. ”

As soon as Xu Weihang woke up, he heard Li Luant say that this was a monster, and he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, "Monster? Are we going to be eaten? ”

Wogua howled, "What are you coercing, here is the most handsome and chic, since he is a female monster, the most important thing is to eat Tang monk meat, and whiten his face, your meat is half a catty and eight taels with Corporal Shell Lang, this handsome man is so handsome and handsome, and the person who is about to become the target has not howled, what are you howling?" ”

was yelled at by the nest melon, Xu Weihang finally stopped dying or living, Li Luant calmed down, "The ancients said that this is a monster, but in fact, it is just the deification of unknown species, just now we fell asleep for no reason, it must be that this bride can spray a strange breath before attacking the opponent, it smells like a flower, which makes the other party fall into a coma, and he looks so terrifying, so he is deified into a monster." ”

"Among reptile crustaceans, the Chortica is originally a genus, and its taxonomic status is - Animalia - Arthropoda phylum - Chelicerae subphylum - Arachnids - Peduncle - Arachnidae - Chromatophytes - Chorticus genus, and there are also highly venomous spiders named after this name, such as: Spotted Bride."

Xu Weihang dissipated the fear all over his body, and couldn't help but look at the bride and said, "You mean, this thing is a mutated spider?" The face was tooβ€”"

"The world, there are no wonders, there are many categories of spiders, and it is rumored that Huangshan is the land of dragon veins, and it is really strange that something strange has been cultivated with the help of dragon qi, making these things become essences."

Wogua came over and gaged, "No, didn't Chairman Mao say that animals are not allowed to become sperm after the founding of the People's Republic of China?" ”

Li Luant paused: "What he said makes sense, as the successor of the new century after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wogua, you will go first and take the lead!" ”

Because the spider species of animals are most afraid of fire, fortunately, Li Green Ant had the foresight to arrange two large bonfires before and after, but sooner or later the bonfire will be extinguished, and those brides are just animals, not evil at all, the ink fountain line, peach wood sword and other things arranged outside the bonfire before were torn off and thrown away by the claws of the bride, and the soul bell that woke them up before was also thrown out of the "bell".

On a cliff not far awayβ€”

The dark glasses that were moving forward paused, and carried the hand, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Deng Renjie and Zhuo Ziyan shook their heads, Zong Yuan looked at the black glasses, the black glasses closed their eyes with bated breath, and listened to it again, the sound was fleeting and had disappeared, but at this time, for some reason, the pointer on the compass moved wildly, and finally stopped at the "reverse" in the Eight Wonders.

The other one quietly pointed to the east and reverse directions, and his face suddenly changed.
