Chapter 9: Touching the Golden Captain
In order to make up for the lack of military salaries, Cao Cao, the leader of the Wei army, originally originated in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and set up military ranks such as Faqiu Zhonglang General and Captain Jin, specializing in robbing tombs to obtain wealth and supplement military salaries.
That is, the truth that people in the archaeological field often call "ten rooms and nine emptiness of the Han tomb" can also taste the helplessness in their words of "Han tomb archaeology depends on luck". The reason is that there are too many tomb robbers, and all of them are talented, and they can see the mountains and rivers, yin and yang, and the gold cave, so that it is normal for the tomb to be empty.
When digging up the tomb, the captain should be good at finding the tomb, and when digging the tomb, he will point a candle in the tomb room, place it in the southeast corner, and then start to touch the gold. If the rooster crows and the candle is extinguished, the belongings must be put back in their place, respectfully kowtow three times, and go back empty-handed. The rooster cries and the lights go out, and the gold is not touched. The burial chamber is only allowed to enter once, and it is not allowed to enter again. If you meet peers, support each other, but the first to choose the Ming (Underworld) apparatus.
At the time of Cao Cao, the captain of the school was from the regular military establishment. After Cao Cao, the tomb robbers all went their own way, and there was no distinction between master and apprentice among peers. Most of the school captains are based on individual actions.
The captains worked, each wearing an amulet made from the claws of a pangolin, which was both a talisman and a status symbol.
Whenever a large tomb is excavated, a candle must be lit in the underground palace of the tomb and placed in the southeast corner. Then open the coffin and touch the gold, the most valuable things of the deceased are often carried on the body, some tomb owners above the princely level, are all with beads in their mouths, covered with gold and jade, and there is a heart jade on their chests, and they have jade Ruyi in their hands, and even gems are stuffed in their anuses.
At this time, do not damage the remains of the deceased, lightly touch from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, and finally leave one or two treasures for the deceased, in between, if the candle in the southeast corner is extinguished, you must put back the property in your hand as it is, respectfully kowtow three heads, and return the way it came.
The scientific rationale for this is to prevent bad air in the tomb, and to ensure that people are not poisoned by bad air when the candle is extinguished and exited from the tomb. Because legend has it that there are ghosts in some tombs, as for why these ghosts do not enter the reincarnation and have remained in the tombs for thousands of years, it is difficult to say, it is likely that they are reluctant to live for glory and wealth, and after death, they still stare at their treasures every day.
He Fatzi slowly unfolded "Looking for the Dragon", but there were only a few dozen words on it, which was originally a long record of all kinds of knowledge about tomb robbery on the "Dragon Hunting", but now he thinks about it more.
Mu Xichen glanced at the words on it, the words were generally inlaid into the paper skin like gilding, and it was obvious to see the records on it.
"Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to entangle the mountain, a heavy entanglement is a heavy mountain, if the mountain has eight dangers, not out of the yin and yang gossip plate, the gossip fractal determines the yin and yang, the yin and yang evolve into the five elements, the five elements are divided into the fierce auspicious, and the dry action is the three golden holes!"
The fat man repeated it several times, but he didn't understand what it meant. Speaking of which, He Fatzi has never deliberately learned about tomb robbing, he is just deeply interested in the supernatural. Thinking that he is the heir of the Captain of the Touching Gold, he is really ashamed to know nothing about it.
Mu Xichen tugged at the corners of his mouth speechlessly, he was now curious about why He Juwen waved his hand, and the scenery around him suddenly changed. He was greatly surprised by such a sudden and drastic change, and he couldn't believe that these were natural phenomena, right?
"What kind of stuff is this, I have a headache to see!" The fat man retracted the "Dragon Quest" in frustration, and shook his head deeply.
"Old Mu, do you believe what my grandfather said? Anyway, I believe it. ”
Mu Xichen didn't know how to answer, the immortal Jin Dan, the tomb of Emperor Qin...... He didn't understand why He Juwen would say that this had something to do with his grandfather.
"Alright, let me think about it." Mu Xichen lowered his head, and a curiosity about unknown things suddenly sprouted in his heart, and a voice seemed to call him, he must go.
He turned and walked through the dead woods, the fat man following closely behind him. Even Mu Xichen himself didn't expect that his intuition would pull him around and around. In front of me is the gate of the school.
"Old Mu, you are really a god!" He Fatzi was so surprised that he seemed to have found a treasure, and after a while, the hand that plucked out the dust patted his back again. Finally, he put a lewd smile on his shoulder and said, "Honestly, you must have been there before, right?" ”
Mu Xichen honestly shook his head and smiled: "I really haven't been there!" ”
"Don't be modest, otherwise you are familiar with geography, otherwise how can you find the right way around and around?"
However, he was just entangled by the fat man, and the dust supported his forehead, "I just came out by intuition." ”
"That's amazing! I can even get out of it with intuition! ”
During the chat, Mu Xichen glanced at the box in his hand and asked, "Fatty, do you know what the other side flower is?" ”
The fat man scratched the back of his head and explained seriously: "The other side of the flower, the Buddhist name Manzhu Shahua, Mahammanshu Shahua. It means the saffron that blooms in the heavenly realm. Legend has it that this flower is the flower of grafting, and its fragrance has magical powers and can evoke memories of the deceased. Because the flowers and leaves have the property of not meeting, they are also called ruthless and meaningless flowers. ”
"The flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet. Love is not cause and effect, fate is destined for life and death. ”
"Why are you asking this?"
Mu Xichen no longer paid attention to the fat man's question, and answered the question: "Then the pattern on this box ......?"
He Fatzi dodged the box like a ghost, "This depiction must be the flower of the other side!" It's generally a curse.,You must have been cursed by the other side of the flower.,This kind of cursed person generally doesn't live long...... Hey, my good brother, don't be afraid, I will be with you until the end of my life. As he spoke, he was about to hug Mu Xichen, but he was ruthlessly pushed away.
Chenzi said in disgust: "You're going to die!" Lao Tzu is alive and well! ”
Mu Xichen thought about it for many days, but he didn't have an idea, until one day, something happened......
That was Mu Xichen, the first time he met a monster as terrifying as the split-lip girl, and it was also the first time he learned about Jiang Xuejuan.
Who would believe that a dead person becomes a woman with a split lip?
Because of the modification problem, a few chapters and chapters were deleted in the middle, and the previous ones were more or less slightly modified, and the plots are still connected, so don't wonder why the chapter names jumped.
