Chapter 4: Forty-Nine Star Array
"Iron Head, Iron Head!"
In a trance, the unconscious iron head heard someone calling him, and weakly narrowed his eyes a slit, and a dim light came into view!
There was a blurry iron head in front of him, and he was dizzy for a moment, and the eyes that had just opened a gap slowly closed again!
The iron head that fell into a coma again suddenly fell into a dream!
In my dream, it's still that thatched slope.
The towering thatch swayed in the wind, and under the thatch were all fat and big rabbits, and he was always spinning in place under the gaze of those rabbits with glowing eyes!
A pair of bright eyes, gusts of mountain wind, and clumps of towering thatch. And, of course, the teenagers who are spinning in place!
In an instant, in a trance!
The white hairs on the back of the iron head suddenly stand upright!
Do you look like a spectator looking at 'yourself'?
"Wait! …… Wait? ”
He was extremely panicked in his heart, and a questioning voice suddenly appeared in his consciousness, as if asking him why he waited!
At the same time as this question appeared, the picture suddenly seemed to freeze frame.
The young man, who had been spinning all the time, suddenly stopped, and then turned his head and stared at him. At the same time, countless rabbits with glowing eyes also stared at him!
Ten thousand eyes!
Fear! Shake!
There was a panic in my heart! From the heart, to the liver, to the epidermis, to the pores of the whole body. That chill, from the inside out, suddenly all gathered together, rushing straight up the door of the head!
The scalp suddenly felt like it was bursting.
"Bang!"
Consciousness was about to go blank, and in an instant the iron head took one last look at his dream.
Originally, he had been in the thatched bushes, spinning all over the ground, but at some point, he was replaced by the fat rabbit on the stone pillar, and the 'self' who became a rabbit stared at him quietly, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery in his eyes!
"Ahh
With a frightened roar, the iron head's body stiffened violently, and his eyes suddenly opened at this moment!
"Ironhead woke up? Come on, come on, drink saliva first! ”
In the dim light, an old man was holding a fire fold for earthen lighting, and when he saw the iron head wake up, he hurriedly took out a military old turtle pot from his waist and said to him!
"Second master? How did you fall off too? ”
The iron head is a child who has made a mistake, and although his voice is low and weak, he still hurriedly wants to stand up and sit up! It's just that a feeling of powerlessness suddenly hits.
"Don't move, drink water and rest first."
"Second master, I'm ......"
The old man looked at Tietou and knew that he had something to say, so he hurriedly pressed Tietou's shoulder and waved his hand.
"Don't say anything, it's yours, you can't run away, life!"
"No, it's not, you, second master, I'm ......"
"Okay, okay, I'm not dead, don't always be a mother-in-law's! Our old Wang family doesn't have such a bloodline! ”
The old man stopped the iron head who was about to say something, and stuffed the old turtle pot that had already unscrewed the lid into the iron head's hand!
Tietou held the old turtle pot with residual warmth in his hand, and a warm current suddenly rose from his heart, and when he picked up the old turtle pot, he drank violently!
"Okay, okay, just as much as you run, you kid drink it now, and then we will both die of thirst!"
Looking at the iron head for a while, the old man hurriedly stopped it!
"Second master! ……”
"Don't, don't, don't, you better give it to me! I only brought such a pot of water with the second master, if I can't find a way out after a while, this little water is also something that saves our lives, so now the second master will not get used to you! ”
The old man said, snatched the old turtle pot in the iron head's hand, put it on his lips and pouted slightly, and then as if taking care of a baby, he carefully screwed the lid, and then carried it to his waist again!
"Second master, how can there be such a deep tunnel here? Was it the bomb shelter dug by the villagers during the war? ”
The old man glanced at him, sighed back and didn't speak, just reached out and touched his arms!
Tietou felt strange in his heart at this time, looking at the second master who was groping in his arms, and didn't pay attention to his second master!
"Second Master!"
The Iron Head shouted again!
"Hey, we'll talk about it later!"
When the old man agreed, he took out something from his arms!
With the flickering flames on the side, the iron head vaguely saw what the second master took out.
A two-inch black clay pot, a gossip compass, and a few yellow watches.
Looking at the second master who took out these things from his arms, Tietou stared at the side, and finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and leaned forward.
"That, two...... Second master. How do you still have these things? Do you still know how to tell fortunes and read faces? No...... No, I've never heard you say that! ”
"Fortune telling, looking at physiognomy? Huh, huh...... Yes...... A little bit! ”
The second master didn't look up, and when he was tinkering on the ground, he took the time to answer the iron head!
It's just a slight hesitation in tone!
At this time, Tietou looked at the second master who was busy fiddling on the ground, closed his mouth in a playful manner, and squatted aside to watch quietly.
I saw the second master put the yellow watch on the compass, and inserted one finger into the two-inch black clay pot, with a stirring, the hand stained with bright red objects quickly pointed to the middle of the compass, and the yellow watch suddenly flashed a bright red!
After doing this, the second master stretched out his hand and beckoned to the iron head.
The iron head will come to the second master!
The second master didn't speak, and reached out to put a piece of bright red yellow paper on Tietou's forehead!
The iron head naturally reacted and wanted to dodge, but at this time, the second master suddenly let out a sigh of anger.
"Don't move!"
Then, the second master used his middle finger to point at the bright red place on the yellow watch!
"Sheng!"
With a light cry in the mouth! Only then did the second master take back the yellow watch, pull up the corner of his torn cotton jacket, and wipe his fingers on it for a while!
"Well, okay, you can't stay here for long, let's go!"
I saw that the second master wiped his fingers, said firmly, and then bent down to pick up the earthen fire fold on the side, put it into the compass in his hand, and with a burst of fiddling, the second master said hello, turned around and walked behind him!
Seeing the mysterious appearance of the second master now, the iron head had a stomach. But looking at the second master who turned around and left, he didn't have any superfluous movements, and the iron head could only swallow the question in his heart for the time being.
Walking a few steps quickly, the second master felt that the iron head behind him did not keep up, so he turned around at the moment!
"It's been so long, don't say you haven't recovered yet, our old Wang family doesn't have a delicate young master like you now! If you can't, get up, if you can't, stay here by yourself! ”
Looking at the second master with a slight back in front of him, a fire fold in one hand and a compass in the other, in the end, the iron head still couldn't hold back!
"Second master, where the hell is this? Walk? Even if you walk, you have to have a general direction! We don't know where it is or how big it is! If you walk around without a head and a brain, and get lost here, it will be a tragedy! Why don't you wait for the hole above your head to open and then find a way to climb up! ”
"Open? Climb up? Big grandson, do you know what this place is? Yes? ”
The old man said, stretching out his hand and pointing to the top of his head.
"This is the tomb of 'Jiang Ge Lao', do you know the tomb? Still waiting for the hole to open and climb up? This tomb is built according to the arrangement of the 'Forty-Nine Stars', and even today, forty-nine years later, if there is no Tengu Eclipse Day, the entrance to the cave will not be opened at all! ”
Listening to the words of the second master, Tietou was stunned on the spot at this time.
After the second master finished speaking, he looked at the eldest grandson in front of him, with a demented look, and groaned slightly in his heart, and then felt that what he said just now was a little heavy! With a light 'snort', he cleared his throat, which can also be said to make the distracted iron head pay attention to himself!
"In fact, although it is difficult to get out of the 'Forty-Nine Douxing' array, the second master still has some methods. Don't be discouraged, this may be what you are meant to be! Well...... It could really be meant to be."
The old man suddenly groaned again, and smiled at the iron head!
"Get up and go!" The opening mechanism of the Forty-Nine Pocket Star Array is inside, and we can't get out at all until we reach the bottom of the tomb, come, follow behind the second master! ”
Under the dim fire fold, the iron head saw the smiling face of the second master, and slowly got up from the ground with a deflated face!
"You are the eldest son and eldest grandson of our old Wang family, don't lose the reputation of our Wang family!"
The second master patted Tietou's shoulder! Then turn around and walk forward!
The iron head looked at the old man with a slightly hunched back in front of him, and in the dim light, this moment actually looked so radiant!
No more hesitation
Iron Head looked back at the darkness behind him like thick ink!
A pair of eyes?
Right! The feeling of being hidden in the dark and staring back is back, only this time the body doesn't feel so cold!
Thinking of the dream he had in a coma just now, Tie Tou shuddered, turned his head violently, and quickly chased after the second master who had already walked a long way in the tomb!
Darkness, darkness like thick ink, as the iron head moves forward, the dark ink is getting deeper and deeper!
Suddenly!
A pair of dark eyes, in the darkness like thick ink.
'Whoosh'
Suddenly it lights up!
……
"Second master, is 'Jiang Ge Lao' the big official? And, well, what is the 'Forty-Nine Douxing' Array? ”
At this time, the iron head who caught up with the second master, finally couldn't help it, and asked the second master who was looking at the compass blankly.
Then he hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the compass in the second master's hand and asked again.
"Hmm...... Well...... Also, when did you come to this set of feudal superstitions? I ......"
At this time, the second master, who was playing with the compass in his hand, suddenly stretched out his hand, bowed his head to the compass, and muttered in a low voice: "Nine stars and seven turns, the second palace returns to yin, the meridian is not right, not ugly, little meridian?" ”
"Nope! Wrong! The second master, who seemed to be hysterical, suddenly shook his head and waved his hand for a while.
Tietou stood beside the second master in a daze, looking at him like a neurotic!
After a few breaths, the second master's fingers suddenly paused, his face was overjoyed, and he turned to the iron head and said: "I found it, the direction is not the meridian, there is a magnetic force here, just now I used the nine stars to correspond to the year and month, and the time corresponds to the direction, and the array eye is in the direction of Haisi!" Ha ha! ”
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he stretched out his hand and pulled it towards the iron head.
"Go, go, go!"
The old man looked excited, but the iron head was still in place, and said to the second master who was pulling him with a bitter face: "Second master, you are always urging to go, go, go!" You haven't answered what I just asked you! Go, go, go! Where to go? ”
"Answer, what?" The old man was stunned suddenly, then his eyes rolled, and he stretched out his hand and patted his head: "Oh...... I remember! ”
"This is the legend circulating in our village, the 'Jiang Ge Lao' tomb that has looted countless people's fat and ointment, and hid three large jars of golden sand in the tomb after death, as for what is the 'Forty-Nine Douxing' array, one or two sentences are not clear to your kid, wait until the formation is in the eye, I will tell you about the formation organ, and you will understand!"
Then the old man pointed to his nose and said, "As for why I am doing this?" Hehe, of course it was your grandfather, my eldest brother who taught me! ”
"Huh? My grandfather also played a deceptive trick of feudal superstition? No, that's not right! How come I never heard my dad mention it? ”
Tie Tou's small eyes, which were already small, almost bulged out of his sockets, and stared at the second master with a look of disbelief!
"Hey, how do you talk! The five elements of yin and yang precipitated by my 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization are broad and profound, how did you become a feudal superstition? Deceptive tricks? Don't be a descendant, don't be a descendant! Big brother, big brother, this kid is the same as your son, I'm sorry for you! ”
The more the second master spoke, the more excited he became, and suddenly beat his chest in place.
"I said Second Master, can we stop acting? I ......"
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the words of the iron head were interrupted.
"Second master, be careful!"
