Chapter 31 Apprenticeship

In the days that followed, I received many phone calls from Uncle Ghost, in which he invited me to his house many times.

I was also puzzled by what Uncle Ghost said before, so I agreed to Uncle Ghost to go to his house. According to the address left to me by Uncle Ghost, I found where he lived. Uncle Ghost lives in an old house full of antique charm, and after knocking on the door a few times, it was Uncle Ghost who slowly opened the wooden door and opened the door, and Uncle Ghost invited me into this old mansion.

After entering the living room, Uncle Ghost asked me to sit down and poured me a cup of tea, I looked around, the furnishings in the house are full of historical charm.

The carved doors and windows, the wooden carved furniture, and even the tea set seem to be made of fine purple yarn. In the middle of the living room hangs a pair of calligraphy and painting that I don't know at all, the font dragon flying phoenix dance makes people look quite comfortable, and an octagonal wooden plate on the wooden seat under the calligraphy and painting attracts my attention.

There is a round glass cover in the middle of the wooden plate, which looks like a large watch, but there are some small characters written densely in the dial, it should be a compass, but I have seen a compass before, but this thing does not look like a compass. Uncle Ghost saw that I was staring at the compass in a daze, so he said, "Compass, the operation tool of the Qi Sect, can test some Yang Mansion Feng Shui, or Yin Tomb Feng Shui.

The compass is roughly divided into three kinds, first of all, the site, used for the vertical direction, placed on the Taiji point, measured in all directions, the Taiji of the Yang House, the point is in the house; The Taiji point of the Yin House is in the center of the top of the tomb. To put it simply, it is used to determine the good fortune of the yang house and the yin tomb.

The celestial disk is used to absorb water, to see the coming and going of water or the direction of the road. Such as water, rivers, waters, pools, wells, toilets, roads or flat land, etc. Speaking of the human plate, it is mainly used to remove sand to see peaks, buildings, trees, walls, piles, towers, chimneys, etc.

The compass on the table is called the Vientiane Plate, which was developed by Qiao Sanye, a tomb robber god in the Song Dynasty, for most of his life. I'm afraid it's the only one in the world. ”

After listening to Uncle Ghost's words, I looked at him in surprise and said, "Uncle, you know so much about Feng Shui, and you have the ability to know antiques at a glance, what a strange person!" The younger generation is full of admiration. Uncle Ghost stroked his goat mustache and said, "The old ghost came to you this time, just to let the little brother follow the old ghost, the old ghost I have no children under my knees, and I have never accepted apprentices in my life, and I have no one to inherit a small skill, if the little brother looks at the old ghost, is he willing to be the son of the old ghost." ”

I almost squirted out the tea that was about to be drunk in my mouth, "Uncle, Qiangzi, I am just an ordinary rural boy, and I have nothing to offer, why does Uncle just want me to sit on your righteous son?" Besides, I am the only son in my family, and I can't worship you as my father, there is a custom in our hometown, and if you are the only boy in the family, you can't worship someone else as your father, which is detrimental to the blessing of future generations. ”

Uncle Ghost didn't force me to say this, so he said, "Then since you can't worship me as your father-in-law, it's always okay to worship me as a teacher." I asked curiously, "Why did Uncle take me as an apprentice?" What are Uncle's intentions? Uncle Ghost pointed to the wooden rune on my wrist and said, "Presumably you have a fate with this talisman, then you will definitely be the best in our industry in the future." ”

I was even more puzzled by this talisman again, so I asked again: "Uncle, you know this talisman, can you tell the juniors in detail?" Uncle Ghost shook his head and said with a smile, "Now you don't have to know so much, in short, you must take good care of this talisman." "I can't solve the many mysteries between this talisman and me, and Uncle Ghost seems to know a lot, anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I agreed to worship him as a teacher.

In the next few days, I went to his house on time every day, and Uncle Ghost took good care of me. Feng Shui, dragon hunting, exorcism and evil spirits.

As long as I can teach everything, I also specially invited the coach of the ninth team of the field army to do physical training for me. After nearly four months of training, I've become quite a good earth mouse.

From him, I learned a lot about the knowledge needed to rob tombs. The most important four points, looking, smelling, listening, eavesdropping, such as looking, looking at the trend of the mountains, the flow of water The ancient people believed that "the mountain master Ding water is the main wealth", which means that the choice of the mountain can make future generations prosperous; Choosing water can make the wealth roll. Stone is the bone of the mountain, water is the blood of the mountain, the benevolent person enjoys the mountain, and the wise man enjoys the water. Water is the source of life, the mountain has life only with water, and the mountain without water seems to have no soul, so Feng Shui has a saying: there is a mountain without water to find the land, and when you don't see the mountain, you can see the water first.

If you want to find a cave and find a tomb, you must pay attention to the trend and direction of the water source around you, especially some imperial tombs, the requirements for the mountains and rivers are more careful. The sun shines on the vast field, the purple mist is ethereal, and the water source surrounds the mountain, which must be where the royal tomb is located. When you determine the location of the tomb, use professional tools such as Luoyang shovel to take the soil under the surface, and you can determine which generation of tomb it is in a small handful of soil.

Of course, this skill requires a lot of experience in tomb robbing, and ordinary people who have robbed tombs all their lives may not have such skills. Listening to this is relatively simple, most of them are eloquent people, who travel to various places and talk about the past and the present with the elderly.

Some peasant legends and local customs reveal some information about the tombs. Let's talk about plagiarism, theft, stealing. To put it simply, it means stealing the things in the tomb, and the things in the tomb are not just to be taken, and if you don't get it, there will be some unexpected things such as deceiving the corpse, corpse transformation, corpse gas, etc. In addition to these, good physical fitness, the ability to adapt to survival in the wild, these must be had.

And often need some tools, knives, small crowbars, ropes, detonators, flashlights and other necessities, it is best to bring some self-defense equipment to get a gun. What Uncle Ghost taught me has benefited me a lot in any case. But I never got any information about the wooden card from him.

On the weekend, Huzi called and said that I would accompany him to the mountains for a trip, and it happened that I was also annoyed to stay in Uncle Ghost, so I could go out with Huzi and let Huzi relax.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the car we drove had arrived at the Xishang Expressway, and it was raining lightly that night, and the tiger kept complaining along the way, "Damn it, the sun is shining in the sky at noon, but at night it will say that it will rain and it will rain, and I really shouldn't go out today." ”

Before the words fell, we couldn't open our eyes at all when the headlights of a car in front of us lit us, and a piercing whistle sounded in our ears, followed by a violent crash.

Huzi slammed on the brakes, but he couldn't dodge the oncoming collision of the vehicle in front of him, and the two cars collided together.

Since both sides applied the brakes in time, there were no casualties. But the situation in front of us is not good, the reaction hood in front of our car keeps smoking outward, and Huzi yells, "Don't run, the car is going to explode!" ”
