Chapter 17: Looking, Hearing, and Asking
All the way down, go around the mountain to the pass of Bottle Mountain, everyone sees that there is a natural stone gate in the hollow of the huge rock here, and the local natives call it "the earth gate".
Bottle Mountain is surrounded by dense peaks and forests, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, although it is much smaller than those towering mountains, but it is also a stone mountain of hundreds of zhang.
"Brother Chen, you have seen the whole picture of Bottle Mountain, if you look for the entrance aimlessly, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, what good way do you have?"
Ning Chen asked Chen Yulou distraughtly, the matter of robbing the tomb seems to be exciting, but it is even more exciting to really operate.
But if you don't know anything, it will be embarrassing, looking at Baoshan and helpless, Ning Chen made up his mind in his heart, this is the case, you must learn the skill of tomb robbery from Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle systematically.
What? The view of the portal, not to spread the word?
Ning Chen smiled, Partridge Whistle doesn't want to be dusty? Chen Yulou doesn't want to know where there are ancient tombs that are easier to steal? Luo Lao Crooked doesn't want to expand his power?
Ning Chen has a lot of means to manipulate them, and with his identity as the successor of General Faqiu, it is still very easy to guide and communicate with each other...
………
Looking back, Chen Yulou shook his head and said, "Brother Ning, you are really young, and I don't know how you became a general of Faqiu, listen to me carefully."
The art of tomb robbing is nothing more than "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting"! Sometimes you can know by the place name, like "mausoleum village, cemetery, hill town, grave ditch, burial ridge......
Wherever there are such place names, there are often large burial groups, because many villages are named after the ancient people who buried them there. ”
Ning Chen nodded: "I know this, there is a Sanling Village in my hometown, and there is indeed a large ancient tomb underground, but it has been taken by the archaeological team." ”
Luo Lao's eyes lit up when he heard the ancient tomb, and when he heard that he was being taken first, he scolded and said, "What the hell is the archaeological team?" If it was replaced by Lao Tzu, he would have robbed his mother! ”
The corners of Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "You will understand later, the existence of the archaeological team is basically a legal tomb robbery, with the support of the official family, can you imagine?" ”
Chen Yulou said: "Could it be that it is similar to Cao Cao's General Faqiu and Captain Mojin?" But today, who dares to risk the world's condemnation? ”
The earliest archaeological team in China was formed in the fifties, that is, after the founding of New China, and Chen Yulou and others naturally did not know.
Ning Chen diverted the topic, "Let's not talk about this for now, the reason why Brother Chen believes that there is an ancient tomb in this bottle mountain depends a lot on asking words, right?" ”
Chen Yulou nodded: "Not bad!" ”
Prior to this, Ning Chen and his entourage dressed up in makeup, and "asked" some clues from the mouths of the local Miao elders.
However, if you want to get the information you want, you need to have very smart skills and experience, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
At least Ning Chen was a passerby the whole time.
A "ask" word trick was played by Chen Yulou to the fullest, and it can be used in the four doors and eight ways of "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting", and it is still a method of asking.
The method of "asking" the word formula, that is not to ask people, but to "ask the sky and hexagram", through divination to calculate the location of the ancient tomb, to dig the robbery hole, through the coffin, or to calculate the auspicious and vicious movements of the tomb robbery.
However, Chen Yulou is not good at these ancient techniques, although he understands the principle, but once it is displayed, it is often not fulfilled, it is said that only the captain of the touching gold and the general of Faqiu know the two tricks of "looking and asking".
It's a pity that Ning Chen can't do anything.
But Chen Yulou also has some real skills, and he is proficient in the instruments and methods handed down by the Xieling group of thieves for generations.
In addition, he knows the inferior technique of "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting", and has walked through thousands of mountains and rivers in the past few years, and has really stolen a lot of ancient mounds.
Ning Chen asked, "Brother Chen, it seems that next, you are going to perform the two methods of hope and smell in the tomb robbery technique, right?" ”
Chen Yulou nodded proudly: "Naturally, Brother Ning, it's not my brother who blows, there are very few people in the world who are stronger than me!" ”
Ning Chen pursed his lips, this guy can really pretend, the red girl's eyes are about to come out of the water when she looks at him, the partridge whistle is in danger...
"Get closer and do a better job!"
After Chen Yulou finished speaking, he walked in front first.
When everyone went up the mountain, the weather was a little gloomy, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the rainbow that had been hidden in the mountains from time to time had completely disappeared.
The rain and fog gradually rose, and the shadows of the mountains and trees became hazy and blurred, but the enthusiasm of everyone to rob the tomb was still like fire.
The partridge whistle is the leader of the mountain mover, but he can't find the exact location of the ancient tomb, and his ability is useless, so he can only paddle like Ning Chen.
Hua Ling, but all the way attracted by the beautiful scenery of Bottle Mountain: "It's so beautiful, this Bottle Mountain is really a fairy cave covered by smoke and clouds!" ”
"Hey, how can there be a beauty..."
And Luo Lao is an old ruffian who is out of tune, in addition to caring about the tomb robbery, he always wants to make do with the two girls in the team along the way.
But as soon as I saw the red girl's murderous eyes, I couldn't help but shrink somewhere, languishing, and had a sense of grievance that I couldn't steal food.
"It's a miracle that this old immortal didn't die on a woman's belly!" Ning Chen didn't know how Luo Lao Crooked got to this position today.
And noisy, on this tilted and crooked bottle mountain, there are two peaks, one is a relatively flat bottle shoulder with a very wide mountain stream.
Everyone looked around for a long time, but they didn't see any giant pythons or zombies, and what the guide said before was completely unfulfilled.
He had never gone up the mountain in his life, and the matter of Bottle Mountain was all hearsay, so angry that Luo Lao wanted to shoot him down, thanks to being stopped by Chen Yulou.
Chen Yulou saw that the grass and trees on the mountain were verdant, and it was difficult to find out the location of the ancient cemetery and the underground palace by using the word "look" to distinguish the color of the grass by looking at the mud marks at the moment.
Moreover, the bottle mountain is solid, not the ordinary soil ridge, and it is difficult to unload it layer by layer to the underground palace tomb, even if it is difficult to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Chen Yulou decided to use the word "smell".
"Luo Shuai, you shoot a few shots at the mountain stream!"
Luo Lao Crooked knew that Chen Yulou was going to move seriously, he had been by Chen Yulou's side for many years, and he knew a little about his methods.
"Okay, look at me!"
Luo Lao crooked pointed the large-caliber revolver at the bottom of the deep stream, pulled the trigger and fired a shot, and the sound of gunfire echoed in the valley for a long time.
Chen Yulou took the opportunity to use the method of "hearing the mountain and distinguishing the dragon" in the word "smell" and listening to the thunder. He was born with a keen five senses, and there are few people in the world who have his ability.
At this time, Chen Yulou leaned on the wall and listened, and heard the sound of the air at the bottom of the mountain from a distance, and there seemed to be a space as big as a city.
He was happy in his heart, and listened attentively, and when Luo Lao's next six bullets were fired into the deep stream, Chen Yulou had roughly heard the outlines of several tombs and three underground palaces!
Such a method of robbing tombs, if Ning Chen hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even if he was killed, it was said that there were endless folk strange people, and Ning Chen sincerely believed it!
