Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 5: Bitu Village
Xichong is closer to Dongguan than to Baoan Airport, and it takes less than three hours to reach Miss Luo's navigation location. There were already people waiting there in the car, Miss Luo told us to change cars, this time in a modified minibus, the back of which is isolated from the cab.
She specially arranged for two guys to drive, I got in the car and found that Miss Luo would enjoy it, the back row of this car was changed into a bedroom, the bedroom came out on the left is the washstand, the right is the bathroom, and then out is a small living room, an oval dining table in the middle, two rows of custom leather sofas, it is very comfortable to sit on, a small Xiaoice cabinet next to the sofa, only some red wine is placed in it. An LCD TV is embedded in the wall isolated from the cab, and a small cabinet is placed on each side of the TV.
Miss Luo's buddy brought a few parcels, all of which were some clothes and daily necessities, plus some food. We didn't stop for anything, and Miss Luo gave the order to go on the road.
As soon as I got in the car, Miss Luo closed the bedroom door, came out after a while, changed into a set of smart women's clothes, went to the living room, opened the car window, and threw my clothes out.
"Don't wear it if you don't like it, that's my clothes, okay?" What kind of person is this, I said angrily.
Miss Luo took out a few small bags from a package, threw them at me and said, "I'll pay you two sets." ”
Then he said to the two marijuana: "Two sets for each person, and the toiletries are in this bag, and you can distribute them yourself." ”
After kicking the other bag, Miss Luo said, "From now on, the bedroom in the back is a private space, and no one can enter without my permission, understand?" ”
Seeing her glaring at me, the latter sentence was obviously a warning to me, and I was angry: "Don't insinuate here, I spied on you?" ”
"When? Yuanwa, you're broken. Marijuana stuffed a large piece of chicken in his mouth and said vaguely.
"Rhetorical question, do you understand rhetorical question?" I couldn't be more angry.
"Is that yes or no?" Marijuana looked confused.
I ignored him directly, Miss Luo was so angry that she chopped her feet and ran away, while Xiaomu seemed to have no presence for us, lying on the sofa on the side staring at the roof of the car in a daze.
I don't know if it's the car or the guy who drives the guy is good, I can't feel any bumps, Xiaomu is wrapped in a blanket and faces the sofa, I don't know if I sleep or not, and I don't panic on this hot day. He occupies a couch by himself, and I can only share one with marijuana.
From time to time, Marijuana pressed the TV and played an English sci-fi film without subtitles, and the devil knows if he could read it or not.
I was so sleepy that I threw Marijuana off the couch, pulled a blanket and went to sleep.
This sleep is not dazed, old and unsteady, dreams are intermittent, and the world is incoherent.
All the way out of Guangdong through Hunan, Hubei into Shaanxi, those two guys are really powerful, more than 2,000 kilometers took more than 30 hours, when they arrived in Yulin, it was just dawn on the third day, all the way except for refueling and supplies, do not stop.
After arriving in Yulin, Miss Luo took us to another car and asked people to entertain the two guys who were driving.
A group of four people changed to an off-road vehicle, and Miss Luo followed the navigation, but we didn't get on the highway anymore, and began to take the national highway, and then the trail, there was not even cement in a section, and it was unusually bumpy along the way. After walking to lunch, I stopped in a township called Erlin.
It's close to Inner Mongolia, the town is built very simple, it should still be relatively backward here, many places are loess roads, only the main street is a cement road.
As soon as I arrived in town, a local came over to ask a few questions, and I didn't hear what Miss Luo said when she got out of the car and said to him, and then got in the car and drove slowly behind the man. The man had not gone far after turning a few places, and then pointed to the old house at the end of the road and said that it was there.
After Miss Luo paid him a few bills, he left. As soon as we got out of the car, we saw a familiar figure, ran out enthusiastically, opened my arms and hugged me and shouted: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, I can be regarded as looking forward to you." ”
Isn't this person Liu Sanyan? Why did he come too? And since she is an old acquaintance, why doesn't Miss Luo let out a fart all the way?
I asked carefully to find out that Liu Sanyan arrived yesterday, he received a call from Miss Luo on the morning of our departure, and he simply packed up and flew to Yuyang Airport on the same day, and when he arrived there for one night, someone took him to this Erlin Township. There are five other people with him, two are Miss Luo's guys, and three are Wu guys, all of whom are between twenty and thirty years old, one of them is estimated to be in his early twenties, looking at the ghosts and ghosts, everyone calls him Chuanmao.
The Luo family and the Wu family have been friends for generations, and the company on the surface is also a partner.
Liu Sanyan popularized to me that this is called Baobao, which means that someone knows the information of a meat bucket, and the meat bucket refers to the ancient tomb with many treasures in it. But the person can't find a specific location, or he can't get in, etc., anyway, he can't do the ancient tomb, so he will ask some peers to act together, and the person who leads the line is called "Bao Ye", generally this situation is the thing brought out of the tomb, Bao Ye first takes one or two percent, and then everyone divides it equally.
There are also rules for dividing the spoils, because the things in the tomb are generally rare, unlike gold and silver treasures that are clearly priced, and those who do this business have their own certain sales, if you sell everything, no one knows how much money you sell, and let you sell it, what if something happens to you? That doesn't change the blood and has no return?
So usually after coming out, everyone divides the things, whether they sell it or not, it depends on the high price, whether there is a risk or not, and no one can complain about anyone. There are also big differences in the distribution of spoils, some people have good tomb robbery skills, but his ability to identify the value of the Ming weapon may not be good, on the other hand, some people may not have much effort in the process of inverting the bucket, but he has a good eye for the value of antiques, which makes a lot of money. For the sake of fairness, drawing lots is the most common means of dividing the spoils, drawing lots is to number the things obtained, write them on the paper ball, presided over by the treasure master, and after everyone has finished grabbing, spread out the paper ball to make sure that the numbered items are there, and then take their own, no one can play tricks.
And this time, the treasure master is Miss Luo, me, marijuana, Liu Sanyan and Xiaomu are all treasure explorers she brought in, and the other five people are all in the same line as Miss Luo.
After lunch in the town, we set off and found a local tour guide who claimed to be a self-driving tourist, and the townspeople didn't find it strange that we meet several groups of tourists like us every year.
Out of the town and all the way to the north, Miss Luo spread out a hand-drawn drawing that was some years old, and the drawing was very simple, but the general direction was still clearly written.
I drove a hundred and ten miles to the north, and the more I went, the more desolate it became, and finally I couldn't even see a human figure, and it was desolate as far as I could see.
The tour guide didn't let us go any further, saying that the front was unlucky, even if we added money to him, he didn't do anything.
"I'll tell you the truth, it's haunted in front, there used to be a village called Bitu, and it was all dead in one night more than thirty years ago, and it was miserable, and it didn't have a human form. Later, the government invited troops, drove in several trucks as soldiers, and there were experts and professors, and piles of people, and many people died, and finally the troops brought out a lot of large wooden boxes, some people said that the tomb of the Tang Dynasty was found there, and some said that it was the general of the Song Dynasty, anyway, the government did not come out to prove it. During that period of time, I heard that a lot of outsiders came, and they all wanted to go to the ancient tomb to see, I guess they were all thieves who wanted to make a windfall, but they went more and came back less, and those who came back were empty-handed, and the wool was not obtained, and then slowly no one went, and now I am afraid that no one has been there for more than ten years. "The tour guide speaks Mandarin and speaks quickly, and I listen to it by guessing.
The tour guide should be in his fifties, maybe the Zhuang family is old, and they all look almost seventy, but their bodies are very tough.
In fact, I had already guessed that Miss Luo was looking for the ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty that Professor Wu said, and in the Chongling Ancient Tomb, Professor Wu said that this tomb was determined by his grandfather for many years to determine the approximate location, but before they could find the specific location, the villagers had an accident, and they also took advantage of the chaos to escape overnight. Later, his grandfather returned here, and when he returned home from here, he was almost dying, and the death was very strange, and the corpse was almost petrified in three days, if it wasn't for the appearance of a mysterious person, I am afraid that the Wu family would have something to do.
At that time, I heard Professor Wu say that many families were forced to participate in the later operation, and I thought that Miss Luo's family was no different, maybe her father knew some things in the ancient tomb, so he sent a telegram asking her to come again to find clues.
The tour guide refused to leave, and we all didn't want to give up when we got here, so Miss Luo called a guy to send the tour guide back and settled the money.
The guy was also cheerful, and without any complaints, he got in the car and took the tour guide back, maybe it was convenient to turn around, he didn't drive the car he drove before, but changed to another one.
After the tour guide left, Liu Sanyan stopped doing it and muttered, "I said Miss Luo, you're not kind, right?" Don't people say that the tombs have been emptied? Which tomb have you ever seen that the archaeological team visited and left soup? We've traveled thousands of miles to browse the monuments? The third master said it clearly, but he is not interested. ”
"Third master, don't be angry, the chairman must have a reason for calling us here, he knows more about this ancient tomb than us, the tour guide didn't also say it, after the experts left, there were many people who followed, and many of them died inside, since there is still danger, there must be something." One of the more steady-looking Luo guys said.
Several of the other fellows were in favor, perhaps they were worried about the comfort of those who were trapped in Law, and they were reluctant to give up even if they knew they were in danger, which touched me a little bit about their loyalty.
I think Miss Luo's father must be a man of love and righteousness, so these guys will be so loyal to him.
"Don't take the third master as a fool, although you are hiding and not having fun, I occasionally listen to such a few words, you are only here to find some kind of clue, not to hold the treasure at all, I am also an understanding businessman, this kind of unclear business is not done." Liu Sanyan held back his anger in his belly, grabbed his luggage and wanted to leave.
"Wait." Miss Luo finally spoke, and we all subconsciously looked at her, thinking that she wanted to say something to save her life.
Miss Luo calmly took out the kettle and unscrewed it, thinking that she wanted to take advantage of the kung fu to drink water for a while, but no one expected that she would sweep my legs and knock me to the ground.
"You grandma, you have an opinion on Liu Sanyan, you let him go, if you beat me, he will compromise? I'm not him...... Yes! "I was righteous and indignant and wanted to reason with Miss Luo, but I didn't expect this woman to be so cruel, she poured boiling water directly on my stomach, and I made a pig cry.
"Damn, so cruel!" Liu Sanyan was startled, and he didn't understand Miss Luo's behavior.
Miss Luo said calmly: "Look at his navel, it won't be long before you are the same." ”
I understood when she said this, it turned out that she wanted to stimulate me to get a tattoo on my stomach, but you don't have any other tricks? It's August God, and the boiling water says it's watering.
I unbuttoned my clothes in annoyance, my belly was already burning red, and the brilliant patterns appeared visibly with the naked eye, and finally like a blooming flame.
"This ...... This ......" Liu Sanyan rubbed his eyes, and his face became cloudy.
Miss Luo said, "I don't know if you've ever heard of 'dead air'? Everyone who has been to the abyss of Chongling has been infected, including me. ”
"You mean the Flame Bead?" Liu San's eyes were extremely solemn, and he put away his wandering attitude.
"Don't delay, according to what the tour guide said, Bitu Village should not be far away, let's hurry up and try to find something before dark." Miss Luo made the final decision and urged us to get in the car.
There are only two of the three cars left, and the nine people are not crowded, and they set off after determining the direction.
It's just that the road behind is getting more and more difficult to walk, and it is really impossible to drive a section, and the yellow mud road has been abandoned for many years, and it is not easy to get here, so we have to walk forward.
When you climb over a loess slope, you can see Bitu Village, which has been exposed to the sun and rain for decades and has long been in ruins.
We found a relatively good dilapidated house to settle down temporarily, someone skillfully assembled the equipment brought, I noticed before, there are a few boxes taken out of the special secret compartment in the back seat, and now they are full of firearms and weapons when they open them, maybe this is because of the rush of this operation, the guy with him is not as heavy as last time.
Three light machine guns, seven pistols, a large dagger and something like that, a box of astigmatism bullets, and a flare gun.
The three light machine guns were all taken by those guys, and Marijuana and Liu Sanyan both took a pistol, which was full of bullets and stuffed into a pocket, which was not too troublesome.
Miss Luo stuffed a pistol into me, I wanted to push it, I really can't play with the gun, it is better to give them practical in my hands, but Miss Luo stopped me with a look, I wondered what she wanted to say?
She took out a long black cloth bag from the trunk, inside was the black knife she used in the Chongling Ancient Tomb, which was carved with simple runes, and the reason for the refraction of light under the rotation emitted a red bewitching light, and I took a closer look to find that there was dark red paint on the side of the rune, which should be caused by this.
Xiao Mu looked at the knife, and he who had always been silent said, "Good knife!" ”
Then he took only a dagger and nothing else, and lay down in the sun.
This person is very strange, he is silent all the way, no matter how marijuana Liu Sanyan teases, he is muffled, as if he does not exist at all.
After we got ready, we didn't show up, because some of the tools were still on the other car to send the guide, and there was no signal at all in this place for a long time, so we had to wait.
Idle, maybe Miss Luo was a little unhappy about splashing boiling water before, and called me aside to see if there were any burns, of course I didn't want to, I was afraid of another second injury, and now I can get as far away from her as I can.
But Miss Luo glared at me fiercely, I had no choice but to compromise, who called me a man, I still have to be appropriately broad-minded.
"You go over here and lie down, and I'll put some ointment on you." Miss Luo pulled me aside, ignoring Liu Sanyan's eyebrows.
This woman is really changing three times a day, and her mood is more impermanent than the weather.
When Miss Luo was applying ointment on my stomach, she suddenly whispered: "Go down to the tomb and have more eyes, try not to get separated from me, in case you get separated, follow Xiaomu if you can." ”
This is a brainless thing to say, what does it mean to have more eyes in your heart? Who to guard against?
Marijuana is certainly not, he is from the same village as me, and it is unlikely that it will be against me. Miss Luo said that, surely it wouldn't be her, Liu Sanyan? Although this person is anxious, he is also a real person, he has a strong purpose, and it is not very likely.
Her buddies are even more impossible, how to say that she is also in the same line as them, and the purpose is more clear, so she came to find clues for the tomb.
Then it can only be Xiaomu, firstly, this guy has a mysterious origin, and he doesn't even have an ID card, and he can see the 'dead air' thing at a glance, and even knows the fire beads; second, he is too powerful, he can subdue the fierce Miss Luo with three eyes and two feet; third, he is too silent, almost does not communicate with people, and he either sleeps or is in a daze all day long, purely belongs to people who can lie down and never sit.
But such a guy with a strange identity and terrifying skills, Miss Luo actually let me look at it, isn't this harming me? If he wants to do me badly, won't he kill me in minutes?
I was about to ask why, but Miss Luo took the ointment and left.
As soon as she said this, I suddenly felt that everyone was weird, and I seemed to see a naked beauty, which made my chrysanthemums tight.
Thinking that it would take a few hours, but after a little repair, Miss Luo discussed with them and set off, saying that she would go to explore the location of the ancient tomb first.
In fact, it is estimated that Liu Sanyan is the one in our group who understands feng shui, and I am completely blind to marijuana, Miss Luo made it clear that she only understands the inside of the ancient tomb, and she is not good at finding gold and digging holes, and those guys are the same.
I don't know if the mysterious Xiaomu understands it, but he doesn't care if anyone asks, he either looks at us blankly, or frowns and looks stupid, which makes me angry for a while, if I can't beat him, I will hammer him in the morning.
In the end, Miss Luo and Liu Sanyan set off, and the marijuana was idle and bored, and he was gone, I couldn't stay with Xiaomu, this is definitely a dangerous guy.
There was also the young man named Chuanmao, who seemed to be curious about everything, and even walked on the road to look at and touch.
According to Ms. Luo's limited information, the tomb should be in the northeast of the village, and we have to pass through the village.
It's bare everywhere, not to mention the trees, not even a single grass can be seen, and I don't know why there are villages built here, and even if there are no ancient tombs, sooner or later they will be abandoned.
I thought that the ancient tomb should be very early, after all, there was a big move back then, and there would be traces more or less, but we have walked five or six miles, and we can't find any traces, and no one seems to have been here.
This phenomenon is abnormal, even if there is no grass here all the year round, and it has been washed by the rain countless times, but that operation was not a small fight back then, even the army was dispatched, and it is impossible for those many people not to leave a trace of it.
Unless someone deliberately erases the traces of this place and wants to cover up some history, if so, we guess we are choking.
Liu Sanyan stopped, looked into the distance and said, "I can't find it like this, there is no reference, I can't start." ”
Now we understand that the tour guide said that many people return empty-handed, and those people dare not even find their graves.
Liu Sanyan discerned the lower direction, drew a cross on the ground, and said: "At the beginning, Master Wu said that the tomb is a Gen soil bead, it should be the main soil, and it may also fall in the position of the main fire, if it is in the southwest position according to the innate five elements, and it is in the northeast position according to the acquired five elements, it is completely opposite, and the fire position is due south, is the direction of your news correct?" ”
"It shouldn't be wrong, the letter said that life is not death, and the door of life is the northeast location." Miss Luo said with certainty.
I didn't stay at home in vain during that time, and I still learned a little about it, especially the books left by my grandfather, because I didn't know many words, so I also read a lot of information in this area during the search.
The innate five elements that Liu Sanyan said before are ranked according to the river map, and the acquired five elements are ranked according to the Luo Shu.
If the information is correct, the northeast direction is the direction of Shengmen, that is, in the Gen position, which belongs to the five elements of the day after tomorrow.
Luoshu's emphasis is that all things in heaven and earth are qi, shape, quality, number, and image, that is to say, all things have gas that is tangible, tangible is qualitative, qualitative is numbered, and number is image. The clever combination between them implies the variable of unity.
Assuming that the ancient tomb is located in the northeast, according to the last five elements, it is reasonable to find a gathering point to accommodate the changes of the five elements, and this gathering point will be the location of the ancient tomb.
