Chapter 7: Wood Mountain and Tomb Mountain
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiyin and I had already run out for more than ten meters, I had the heart to compare the speed with Lin Xiyin, at this moment I didn't have a trace of retention under my feet, better than my explosive power, I quickly surpassed her.
"Xiyin, you wait for the fat man, I'll go to the rescue first."
"You and the fat man stay safe, I'll go first."
I looked up and saw that Lin Xiyin was actually galloping on the roof, and the distance she ran in a straight line was naturally much better than the distance I ran around.
I didn't have time to envy, so I hurried up and hurried towards the whistle.
When I ran out of the village, I saw Hua Rong and them, and I was relieved to see that the three of them were all right.
"What's going on?"
The three of them ignored me, they seemed to be attracted to something, and they all gave me their backs.
I ran in front of them, and my eyes and pupils dilated instantly: "This... ”
The fat man came from behind scolding, and before he could stand still, the iron bell was still on the ground.
"Grandma's, it's too heavy, I'm tired to death, you two are not righteous, I, I,,"
"Hey, these are all graves? Grandma's, thousands! ”
The fat man was right, the graves in front of him were connected one after another along the slope, and the graves in the distance were all covered with weeds and bushes, and it was impossible to see how many.
The fat man was surprised and said, "How can there be so many?" ”
Hua Rong glanced at him: "Not only are there many, but the ones with tombstones are all surnamed Tang!" ”
"Tang Rudang is also called soup among the people, do Zhu Wen people from Dangxian County, Anhui Province understand? Wood is like a tomb, and wood is a tomb mountain, understand? ”
Hua Rong and Captain Jin turned their heads in surprise to look at the fat man with a smug appearance, and their eyes widened, indicating that they were incredible!
The fat man was even more proud, and he kicked the iron bell, and the sound of the iron bell on the ground was very weak,
He said: "This bell is called a yin bell, do you see that the pattern of floating clouds and the moon can be faintly seen from the body of the bell?" The clouds cover the moon on behalf of the night, and the night is yin, so it is called the yin bell, and it is said that it has the effect of summoning yin soldiers to guard the royal tomb. Look at this iron bell again, this spiral and fire-spitting dragon is called a mirage, which represents the guardian of the way to heaven, in other words, it is the talisman of Zhu Wen to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and act for the way of heaven, understand? There is also this round word called 圜, the upper heaven, the sky is round, the circle is round, and the circle also represents the round mound, which is the meaning of the grave! ”
"Fatty, you are learning and selling now, I know that you don't have any ink in your stomach, you were beaten by your father when you were a child!"
The fat man grinned his teeth and stared at him: "Old Jin, don't wait to expose people!" ”
We couldn't stop laughing.
Hua Rong told what they had done,
It turned out that Captain Jin and Hua Rong came to the center of the village along the streets and alleys after separating from us at the entrance of the village, and they didn't find anything unusual, but just twenty minutes ago, they saw the big dog of the two dogs they met at the entrance of the village running past them with something in his mouth, and Hua Rong took a closer look at the dog that was actually holding a steamed bun!
At the same time, they thought that perhaps this barren mountain village was still inhabited, so they hurriedly searched in the direction where the dog came, turning around, and finally found this strange place with thousands of graves.
The two of them were surprised, and felt that this place was terrifying and weird, so they didn't dare to venture in.
The two of them cautiously lurked, and saw that the dog had returned and pulled out another steamed bun from the depths of the grave.
After the dog left, Hua Rong and Captain Jin went into the depths of the grave and found a very secret collapsed tomb, and found that there were still a lot of moldy and dry steamed buns and other foods inside.
The two of them really couldn't imagine that there were so many steamed buns hidden here, and when they saw that the owners of all the tombstones were surnamed Tang Shiton, they felt that they had a lot to do with Zhu Wen's hometown, so they blew the whistle for help and summoned the three of us.
Lin Xiyin said: "These seem to be the descendants of Zhu Wen, after thousands of years, generation after generation to have these thousands of graves. ”
The fat man shot a slingshot into the depths of the grave: "This is easy to do, let's go over there and look at the tombstone, I guess that must be the earliest grave, there must be some discovery." ”
Lin Xiyin stopped the two: "I don't think I can rush over, look at that tree!" ”
The tree was indeed strange, the trunk was visibly thicker than the one in the village, but the crown was much smaller, most notably the north side showing signs of fire.
Seeing this scene, I instantly understood,
"Hee Yin is right, we can't go over, that tree is probably the watershed between the lightning strike area and the safe area!"
I continued: "I suspect that the bell was originally tied to this tree, and that this tree is the ancestral tree of this village. But sometime around tomorrow, there was a very strange lightning strike here, and the grave keepers had to move the village down. Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the lightning strike has always existed, but the lightning strike area has inexplicably expanded, so they move out to a safe area. ”
Lin Xiyin said: "I agree with this point of view, and this Mushan villager has great respect for their ancestors, and they even connected the graves together, is there something under the ground that they have to protect in life and death?" What is the explanation of the iron bell? ”
Captain Kim said: "I think those two dogs are also very strange, there are so many graves here, how do they know that there are no lightning strikes in those areas?" And the village is empty, why not hide in a private house! ”
These questions bothered us deeply, and I think of the apparent desperate reaction of the two dogs when they touched the bell, and I think that these two dogs must have suffered so much from the bell that they were terrified when they touched it.
We look at the yin clock on the ground, what the hell does this thing do?
I couldn't help but lift the iron clock on the ground and shook it a few times, and the dull sound of "jingle, jingle" was really not good.
Suddenly, we felt the wind blow across our bodies, and then the weeds in the mound made a swishing sound, like a ghost whispering, and we all looked at each other, and we were all stunned.
Lin Xiyin glanced around and said, "It should be an ordinary wind, the villagers say that the wind on the mountainside is a symbol of thunder and lightning." ”
But as soon as she finished speaking, the wind suddenly became stronger, and the huge old locust tree shook violently!
At this time, it has entered the dog days, and we actually feel the coolness in the morning, which is not refreshing, but more like a sudden invasion of damp and stuffy moisture.
The fat man shrank his neck: "No, this yin bell can call the wind and thunder as an air conditioner?" I was running with it on my back just now, and there was nothing unusual along the way. ”
"There may be thunder in a while, so we'll observe here."
I hurriedly pulled Lin Xiyin to observe.
The fat man and Hua Rong each squatted next to a grave, the two were close to each other, only to hear the fat man say: "Lao Hua, what do you think we look like?" ”
"What else can you look like, shut up and observe the weather changes for my brother!"
"Why are you talking, boy! I'm a generation older than you, so it stands to reason that you want to call your uncle understand! Also, Su Rou is a generation younger than Hu Niu, even according to Su Rou, we are also your elders, do you understand? ”
Hua Rong was so choked by the fat man that he couldn't say anything, so he simply ignored him.
The fat man was boring, his huge body was always squatting, it must be uncomfortable, his big head swayed from side to side, and he saw Captain Jin was engrossed in touching his pulse: "Old Jin, why are you touching the pulse, scared out of your soul?" ”
"Fatty, learn to be a little bit, Master Jin, I'm calculating the time, my pulse is 45-47 times a minute, and you can know how long it has been when you count it."
"Oh, let's be the same generation, don't be Jin Ye, Jin Ye, the only thing you can bully here is Hua Rong's kid!"
Captain Kim's focused counting pulse didn't pay attention to the fat man.
The fat man was really bored, and when he saw a lot of stones on the ground, he took out a slingshot and shot everywhere.
"It's really strange, they all say that there are many birds and beasts in the countryside, why can't there be grasshoppers here?"
Lin Xiyin provoked the fat man: "You talk too much, I guess you are all arguing to death!" ”
"Xiyin, you still called me Uncle Chubby when you were a child, why don't you call me when you grow up?"
The fat man waited for more than ten seconds, and saw that Lin Xiyin didn't pay attention to him.
I can't help but "Alas! sighed, and said to himself: "Tiger girl, tiger girl, I knew I would have brought you here, only you were willing to listen to my brother's speech." ”
It seemed that the fat man's legs were numb, and he lowered his body and came to me: "Lao Yuan, have you found anything?" ”
I shook my head: "Except that the wind is getting louder and the wind has not changed, you see that the sky is still blue, where is the thunder and lightning coming from without the collision of dark clouds?" ”
"Don't ask me this question, if you want to ask, ask your little encyclopedia, brother will teach you to shoot!"
I gave him a blank look, disapproving.
He smiled: "Lao Yuan, don't you want to see my moving flying saucer, my brother uses the slingshot operation to make you admire it even more!" ”
The fat man's words attracted me, and I looked at him in amazement.
"I shoot a stone first, and then I shoot the second one without waiting for the stone to hit the ground, is it harder for me to hit the first stone with the second one than to move the flying saucer?"
"Brag, if you can hit, I really call you fat!"
The fat man patted me on the shoulder: "Look, it's time to show off your stunts, I'm up to you fat man!" ”
The fat man shot a pebble, and then he shot another one but missed!
A few of us laughed, and Hua Rong laughed at him: "Fatty, you are still fat, you should be a fat grandson!" ”
The fat man blushed and glared at Hua Rong: "Just now, his legs were numb, and he made a technical mistake, so his grandmother will come again!" ”
The fat man held his breath, his fat face became solemn, and he shook his arm and felt the stone to shoot out, and then the second stone shot out, and the stone behind it was obviously stronger, 'Bang! With a bang, the stone hit the first one accurately!
The first stone was dropped by the second blow in a broken bowl in front of the grave.
"Fat god, fat man, amazing!"
I gave a thumbs up to the fat man, and the rest of the people kept complimenting the fat man.
The fat man was triumphant, and demonstrated three times in a row, and the more he played, the more he hit, the more he hit!
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the four of them couldn't help but be excellent at marksmanship, and each had their own unique skills.
Captain Jin has a tendon-splitting dragon claw hand, Hua Rong has a flying knife, Lin Xiyin has a more perverted dart archery technique, and now the fat man has a slingshot skill, which directly makes my eyes red with jealousy!
I'm going to have a fat man's slingshot, I didn't fight this thing a lot when I was a kid, but I don't have the ability of a fat man at all.
I shot one of the stones from the ground, and then the second one was also shot, and as I expected, the next stone did not knock down the first one.
"You are stupid, the first one should be as flat as possible when it is hit, so as to slow down the amplitude of the parabola, and the second one will give enough strength to be the first to come!"
I tried a few times and couldn't hit it, so I didn't try again.
At this time, the wind was stronger, and the old locust tree whirled, and the branches swayed, as if they were about to be uprooted!
I saw one, and I hurriedly pulled out a slingshot and shot it directly!
The pebbles flew hundreds of meters and pierced the canopy, but the astonishing thing was 'Click! With a bang, the stone I had struck was shattered by an invisible force.
The five of us looked at each other, and this lightning strike didn't even let go of stones?
I hurriedly shot another one at the old locust tree, but I didn't hear the sound of lightning again.
Lin Xiyin hurriedly said: "Fight elsewhere!" ”
This time I shot into the air near the mountains,
"Click"!
The stones I shot were shattered by the invisible force that only sounded!
The fat man thought I was slow to shoot, so he grabbed the slingshot and shot a dozen or so shots everywhere, and there was no more lightning strikes while waiting.
"Grandma's, the wind is slowly stopping!"
I brought up the strange iron clock and shook again, but it didn't make any more noise.
Captain Kim said: "It took about 21 minutes from the wind to the lightning strike, which is consistent with the villagers' statement. ”
Hua Rong added: "Thunder and lightning have sound and are invisible, and the sound is equivalent to the explosion of artillery, but the energy of smashing stones is not comparable to that of explosions. ”
Lin Xiyin tore off the vines on the ground and demonstrated: "Have you noticed that when the first stone was struck by lightning, the leaves suddenly rose upwards as if they were lifted by something, I think the situation of being lifted up is very similar to the suction caused by reserve energy." ”
I remembered that it was exactly what she said, but I couldn't understand why.
Fortunately, we inadvertently figured out the dividing line of the lightning strike area, so it would be better to bring the equipment up and shoot it to the old gentleman to explain.
"Could it be that this strange thunder will be safe after being released twice? We need to experiment again, otherwise we can't determine the time of the next lightning, and besides, we think that the insulating object can avoid lightning strikes, but this is a stone, and the stones are all broken, how can this be explained? ”
Lin Xiyin's little encyclopedia obviously thinks more comprehensively.
The fat man didn't think so much, he shrunk his neck: "Grandma's, fortunately I didn't rush in, otherwise I would have to split it into eight pieces!" ”
Hua Rong scolded him: "This thunder is useless to you, Uncle Lei can't beat you!" ”
The fat man shot back: "It will definitely work for you, you thin will be chopped into beef jerky!" ”
Captain Jin was beside the two of them, and the dragon claw hand grabbed the necks of the two of them with a "hoop": "Two bastard boys, can you say something auspicious!" ”
"Ah, it hurts, old gold, your uncle's mouth fight is not allowed to fight, and you are the leader of the team who is in charge of a lot!"
Captain Jin let go of the two and said solemnly: "This is not trivial, it looks like a layer of power grid, let's think more about it, don't brush your mouth and think more!" ”
"Uncle Kim, do you think it's like a power grid?" Lin Xiyin's beautiful eyes flowed, and she seemed to realize something.
Captain Jin nodded: "If the stones are all shattered, it can only mean that there is an invisible defensive force in the air, which will provoke its reaction and be destroyed when it is attacked or when a foreign object passes by." ”
"Yes, this also explains the fact that there are no birds or even larger insects here, and I believe that the villagers' statement that someone was struck by lightning and someone else was okay should have something to do with the fact that there are at most two lightning releases here."
I continued: "Captain Jin, Hua Rong, Xiyin, I am sorry for the three of you to stay here and continue to observe the time of the lightning strike and the number of releases, and the fat man, let's go to the old village chief and ask some questions. ”
The fat man can pretend to be the leader again, and he instantly happily gave the slingshot to Hua Rong.
"You guys do a good job, I'll bring roast chicken when I come back!"
I threw the yin clock to the fat man: "Take it, this thing is round like you, don't lose your brother!" ”
The fat man lifted it up and shook it vigorously: "The sound of this thing is so ugly, I can recognize him, but my brother definitely doesn't recognize it, if he knows that this bell is called Yin Zhong, he must beat me to death." ”
