Chapter 66: Holding the Moon Ditch
"No matter which dynasty or generation, the form of tombs in China for thousands of years comes from the five elements of Feng Shui layout bred by the 64 hexagrams of Fuxi.
Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, Jinya, Wusun, Xianbei, Shemin, Jurchen, Dangxiang and other ethnic minorities have been greatly affected, and the pattern of mausoleums has imitated the form of the Central Plains, but most of them are only superficial. It can be said that as long as you know how to watch the pulse of the mountains and rivers in the world, no matter how deep the hidden ancient tombs can be easily found. ”
Along the way, Hu Bayi explained the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" for Ning An, which made Ning An feel deeply and secretly sighed that Chinese culture is broad and profound.
Walking forward is the vast and endless primeval forest, Yingzi took eight big dogs to open the road in front, Ning An and Hu Bayi each led a horse to carry tents and other materials, Wang Fatzi walked behind with a gun, and the group entered the mountains and mountains on the border between China and Mongolia.
The fat man asked Yingzi in front of him as he walked: "Sister, what's going on with the savages in Savage Ditch?" What the hell is a wild man, have you ever seen it? ”
Yingzi turned around and said: "I don't know what a wild man is, I heard my father say that many people have seen it over the years, but no one has ever caught a living one, and a dead one has never seen a corpse, and I can't tell what it looks like if I have seen it." ”
Ning An smiled in front of him: "Fatty, this is because you are uneducated, wild people are wild people, study hard in the future, it may be a person born in the wilderness, or it may be a tree tree... Not artificially anyway. ”
Hu Bayi thought to himself: "It's strange, Brother Ning is really hungry, and he thinks about it almost the same as himself, is it because he has a good heart...... Hu Bayi didn't dare to continue thinking about it......
Listening to Yingzi, the savage ditch in Heifengkou was not called the savage ditch before, it was called the "dead man's ditch", and when it was even older, it was not called the dead man's ditch, but the "moon ditch".
Touyuegou has always been the cemetery of the royal family and nobles of the Dajin Kingdom, the Mongolian army broke the main force of the Jin soldiers in the black wind mouth, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and the dead were thrown into the ditch, and the whole valley was almost filled, so the locals called this "dead man's ditch", and then someone saw the wild man near the valley, and the name of the dead man's ditch was replaced by the wild man's ditch.
Because you can't climb a steep mountain with a horse, you have to go around the mountain when you encounter a big mountain, and this road is extremely slow, but fortunately in the primeval forest in early winter, the scenery is gorgeous.
The red and yellow leaves all over the mountains, the layers of the forest are dyed, make people look tirelessly, occasionally see the forest deep out of a pheasant and hare and roe deer tree roe deer, Yingzi will chase the dog, to camp at night to pick some grass and mushroom spices in the mountains, light the campfire and barbecue, the three of them are feasting, these days have not eaten the same game.
Yingzi's temper is much more chong than Yanzi, what route to take, what to eat, you have to listen to her, who makes her a guide, those dogs also listen to her, although Hu Bayi is used to being a company commander, she can only endure being an ordinary soldier.
Yingzi does have two tricks, hunting, finding directions, finding spring water, distinguishing whether the mushrooms in the mountains are poisonous or not, how to find fungus mushrooms and hazelnuts in the deep mountains, Codonopsis ginseng, Schisandra chinensis, etc., there is nothing she doesn't understand.
And there are some animals in the mountains, Ning An can't even name them, but Yingzi can say a lot of them, and finally Hu Bayi and the fat man were wide-eyed when they heard it, and they could only say two words: Obey.
Ning An laughed: "If you don't accept it, you can't do it, who let us know as much as Yingzi!" ”
……
After six or seven days of walking in the primeval forest, we finally arrived at the Heifengkou on the Sino-Mongolian border, the density of the forest is indescribable, and there is almost no place to stand in the depths, all of which are cold-tolerant trees such as Korean pine, larch, birch and aspen.
The dead branches and leaves on the ground are covered with layer by layer, and it is easy for people to do, but Ma Zizhong is often trapped and unable to move, and in the end, Ning An even had to pull the horse out, but the three of them were stunned.
When he arrived at the Black Wind Mouth, all that remained was Hu Bayi's business, and he found a valley, which should be the legendary Savage Ditch, and there was nothing peculiar about the appearance, but this was just an intuitive feeling.
However, Ning An knew from the grave needle for the first time that there must be an ancient tomb near here! You can find it by following the finger needle, but Ning An didn't do it, because this time Ning An wanted to see the real gold and feng shui secret techniques!
Yingzi said: "There must be a big smoke bubble in the valley, you must see it clearly before going down, you can't get out if you fall into the big smoke bubble, if you want to go down to the savage ditch, everyone must prepare a big wooden stick to explore the way, the fallen leaves below are too deep, more powerful than the swamp, fortunately it's not the rainy season, otherwise don't think about going down." ”
Ning An didn't dare to underestimate it, the power of nature is great, and he is still very weak, so he must ensure safety.
Savage ditch belongs to the remnant vein of the Great Xing'an Mountains mountain range, the mountains on both sides are gentle, the direction of the whole valley is north-south, the east and west sides are hills, the middle place receives the sunshine for a short time all year round, and it seems gloomy.
The valley is full of rotten leaves and grass, except for some low and sparse shrubs, there are not too many trees, out of the valley trees are even more sparse, the primeval forest ends here, and more than two hundred miles forward is the Outer Mongolian grassland.
Near dusk, the blood-red sunset hangs in the sky, the four of them climb the hillside, look at the red sun about to fall, the sky is full of large red clouds, the whole sky seems to be dyed by heavy oil paint, the forest-covered mountains, the endless prairie in the distance have become hazy in the field of vision, it is really a mountain like the sea, the remnant sun is like blood.
The fat man was happy when he saw this beautiful scenery: "Old Hu, Brother Ning, this scene is so beautiful, we didn't come in vain this trip." ”
Hu Bayi remembered the ancient tomb in the savage ditch, carefully watched the terrain in the valley against the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", and took out the compass to identify the direction of the gossip, and said in surprise: "I finally found the right place, there must be an ancient tomb of nobles in this valley."
Savage ditch, formerly known as "holding the moon ditch", the terrain here is stable and majestic, there is a sense of swallowing all things, one end is the grassland, the other end is connected with the Great Xing'an Mountains, the Outer Mongolia prairie is like a vast sea, and the holding moon ditch seems to be a big river that flows into the sea.
Although the feng shui style here is not enough to bury the emperor, but it is more than enough to bury a big official such as the prince Wanhu general, and when the moon rises in the middle of the sky, the moonlight will point out the location of the ancient tomb for us. ”
The reason why this place was once called "Zhuyue Gully" was because when the moon rose directly above the valley, lying on its back in the deepest part of the valley and looking up at the sky, the afterglow of vision would produce an illusion that the highest hills on both sides were like two huge arms, stretching out to the sky with the bright moon.
Hu Bayi roared excitedly: "The deceased in this cave is the essence of the sun and the moon, which is explained in detail in the chapter of the word "Tian" in my ancestral feng shui book, although some of the literal content is not understood, but it is not difficult to speculate in combination with field observation. ”
If the savage ditch is not covered with thick dead leaves, you can directly find the middle position, but now only when the moon rises at night, you can refer to the position of the moon in the sky and go down to the deepest part of the valley to find the ancient tomb.
The main thing is that the manpower is limited, and there can be no deviation in the work, otherwise the amount of work will be too large.
Ning An fell into deep thought after listening, closed his eyes and felt it, and finally saw a clue: "It's the essence of heaven and earth!" I see! ”
