Ancient arts, through the world, the law of nature, the feeling of the heart, the understanding of the true understanding.

Ancient psychic people created a kind of avenue created by ancient psychic people to communicate with heaven and earth, perceive the heavens, cultivate self-cultivation, and connect man and nature with a certain medium, so as to strengthen man's own soul power and will power with the help of the natural power of heaven and earth.

With the birth of the text, after the ancient art was concretized into the text, it formed the five veins of summoning, destroying, refining, attaching, and divining, and the five veins included the sixteen categories of "forbidden spells, spells, spells, talisman arrays, summoning spirits, medicine, alchemy, making instruments, divination, wangqi, prayer altars, solids, meditation, contemplation of the sky, feng shui, and life", each of which has its own inheritance and complements each other, thus forming a complete ancient art system.

Helplessly, the rolling torrent of history has swallowed up countless flowers and leaves that were once glorious, some have long been buried in the thick loess, and there is no way to verify, and some have gone straight downstream, spreading branches and leaves, and flowing for centuries.

The ancient arts, too, have gone through ups and downs several times, slowly being assimilated and dissolved, and heading for decline.

Nowadays, the ancient art has left a single branch, since the beginning of its establishment, it has drifted to the open sea with the founder, taken root, and has not been eroded by the turbidity current of the world for thousands of years, so as to retain the most primitive form of the art, which has continued to this day.

They call themselves the ancient arts, and to outsiders, they call themselves mountain people. And the world calls it a warlock or a true man.

……

On the winter solstice of 1980, on December 22 of the solar calendar, I was born in the Jiangnan water town on the south bank of Taihu Lake.

Wu Xing, in turn read the meaning of reviving Wu State, Wu State Wucheng changed its name during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and later Qin unified the Six Kingdoms and changed it to Wuxing County, including the whole territory of Hucheng, Hangcheng Qiantang, Yixing Yangxian, and then the name of Wu Xing has been preserved to this day. It is now a district of Hucheng in the northern part of Zhejiang Province.

My hometown Lin Zidun is located in the southwest corner of Wuxing District, east of Dongyue Mountain, about 50 households in the village, not big.

 The winter solstice of 1989, also on December 22, should be in the house, bed, consecration, sacrifice, fire, groundbreaking, plaque, burial, groundbreaking, burial, do not marry, open the market, make a stove, buy property, make beams, and cut wood.

The winter solstice, the shortest sunshine time in a year, the day of the beginning of the cathode and the yang, the day of death is also the living day, in our side there is known as "survive the winter solstice to Qingming, July 15 ghost door open" said, these three are the year when the ghost door is opened, the day when the king of Hades releases ghosts and collects people. Therefore, people in the family who are dying or engaged in dangerous work need to pay special attention to these three days, and if they are not careful, they will be taken in by Hades.

Of course, this is just a folk word of mouth, and there is no way to verify the authenticity. And we, who live in modern times, grew up under the red flag, and received proletarian education, will not believe it even more.

The custom of our side, on this day to worship the ancestors, the table of the eight immortals is placed with three meats, two vegetables and five dishes, steamed buns, apples and four stacks, and placed on both sides of the incense burner. The incense burner is placed on the east side of the table, and the east faces west to worship, and six wine glasses and six pairs of chopsticks are placed on each of the other three sides.

After lighting the incense candles, start pouring wine, wine with rice wine is appropriate, counterclockwise, each row from left to right, pour a quarter of the cup, each time the wine needs to be worshiped by the family once, a total of three times.

Do not fill the wine glass, do not touch the tables and chairs, do not make loud noises, and do not burn out the incense, but put it in the paper ingots and burn it together......

These rules are very complicated, and I have my own family to run them, and I have always been just a formality, and it doesn't matter whether I am pious or not. The ancestors have passed away, and it is impossible to come back to eat and drink on this day.

What I care more about is the food of this day - colorful glutinous rice dumplings, bean paste filling, pork filling, meat floss filling, sesame filling, a dazzling array of them, put them in the cage drawer, and steam them with dry wood for 30 minutes. When it comes out of the pot, sprinkle black and white sesame seeds, and the glutinous rice fragrance is mixed with the sesame fragrance, making the mouth water flow for 3,000 feet.

And this day is my birthday, my parents will bring back the cream cake from the county, and I can only eat the cream cake today throughout the year, so I have an unparalleled expectation for this day back then.

My parents are in the clothing business in Jiangsu, they are private owners, but they are relatively busy, and they can't come back a few times a year, and my grandfather is a village cadre, so the family is not bad. I'm currently in the second grade of the town's elementary school, and my birthday is relatively young, so I'm in the next year's school, so I'm a year older than most people in my class.

Our village is small, and we know each other well in front of and behind the village, and when we shout in the house, the children of the whole village can gather.

We worshipped our ancestors, ate glutinous rice dumplings and cakes, and a dozen or so children gathered in the wasteland in the east of the village to play a game of catching bandits. The rules are very simple, a dozen or so people, select three policemen, chase others (that is, bandits) within a certain range, even if they are caught, bandits must stay where they are, if other bandits touch him, they will be rescued, and they can continue to run, and a bandit will be eliminated if he is caught three times, or he will be eliminated if he runs out of the specified range.

This group of children varies in age, up and down three years old, among them, there are two good brothers I have known since I wore open crotch pants, one is called Chen Xing, two years older than me, we call him Chen Xingge, and the other is called Feng Yuan, who is the same age as me, and is a little upside down.

It was my turn to be a policeman, brotherhood, and there were pitfalls everywhere. Naturally, he grabbed his good brother and had to pull him into the water. However, Brother Chen Xing is older than me, and his speed is much faster than mine, so I have no confidence, so I set my sights on Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan often causes trouble in the village, and he is a man who hangs his son, but he has a very good temperament. We all call him a ruffian.

The ruffian was thin and lean, like a monkey, not as tall as me, but running like a rabbit. I drove him more than 20 meters, and found that it was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't run anymore, so he stopped, and when he saw that I didn't chase, he laughed, turned around and stuck his tongue out at me while running, all kinds of provocations.

I couldn't get angry, so I scolded him loudly and let him fall and eat!

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the guy's voice, and when I looked up, I saw two helpless hands disappearing to the ground.

I was startled, the crow's mouth was too smart, but for the sake of the ruffian, I hurried over and found a well on the ground as high as the ground, made of green bricks, and the mouth of the well was covered with moss, and at first it was covered with thick straw, and we did not notice it. It's also strange that the ruffian didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out, and he was the first to step on it.

Thankfully, he wasn't allowed to go minesweeping.

At this time, everyone else gathered around, and I looked down, and the well was very deep, and I could vaguely see a person underneath.

I cried out into the well, "Hey, ruffian, are you alright?" ”

The ruffian's trembling voice floated up: "I'm fine, Ah Yi, it's dark below, I'm ...... There are ghosts! Pull me up! ”

My surname is Lin Yunyi, and everyone likes to call me Ah Yi, which seems close. But the ruffian's voice is not close, it sounds like a ghost in a ghost movie, fluttering and strange.

The ruffian was naturally timid and afraid of the dark, which was diametrically opposed to his rough-skinned and beaten character, and he shouted that there was a ghost at every turn, and we were used to it, and after a burst of laughter, we gathered together to discuss how to get him out.

I proposed to find a rope to pull him up, and everyone agreed, and the search for the rope began.

Coincidentally, I found a straw rope covered with mud in the grass four or five meters away from the well, and when I saw that it was quite long, I immediately beckoned the others to come over, and I slowly lowered the rope while the others held the rope behind me.

I shouted for the riffraff to hold on to the rope while feeling the force on that end, and soon, as soon as the rope sank, a force was transmitted, and I immediately beckoned the others to pull hard. The ruffian was frightened below, and shouted loudly, pull and pull.

All of us shouted the trumpet: "1, 2, 3, pull!" ”

The second time I didn't finish shouting, I suddenly heard a snap, the rope broke behind me, the force was lost in an instant, and the others were stumbled by inertia, and in an instant people turned over on their backs, and I was still holding the rope, and the end suddenly sank, I was not strong enough, and even people did not bring shoes, and fell into the well in the form of upside-down onions.

With two screams, I slammed into a lump of soft stuff, the riffraff snorting under my ass.

The well was pitch black, and the smell of dampness and decay was disgusting. The little light that spilled from the top was long gone, and I stood up, and then helped the ruffian up, and he was so crushed by me that it took me a long time to get up.

The ruffian was full of complaints: "Yunyi, what's the matter, no matter how righteous you are, you don't have to come down to accompany me in person!" ”

I couldn't get angry and said indignantly: "The rope is broken, can you blame me?" ”

Brother Chen Xing's voice came down from above: "Hey, you two are all right, this rope is too bad, let's go find the rope that the adults have taken to save you!" Don't worry! ”

With that, the people above dispersed, leaving the two of us alone at the bottom of the well.

I'm naturally not in a hurry, I'm bold and not afraid of the dark, anyway, someone will rescue us sooner or later, and there will be someone on the back when we fall, so that we don't get covered in stinky mud, but the shoes are covered with mud and fall at the mouth of the well, although the straw that fell under my feet, but the soles of my feet are still cold.

But the ruffian was not very comfortable, not to mention falling all over the mud, and he was terrified of the dark, and he hugged my neck and shivered, like a frightened chicken.

It was close to the village, but within five minutes someone came running with an adult, and I waited with anticrite for the rope to fall.

As a result, I heard this conversation outside: "It seems that this is it, they fell into the well...... Hey, where's the well? ”

"Hey, Chen Xing, you're not mistaken, how can there be a well here!"

"That's not right! I saw a well just now! Brother Chen Xing was anxious, and the others also echoed.

I was also anxious, how could I not see it! So I started shouting loudly.

My voice echoed at the bottom of the well for a long time, but the people above didn't seem to hear it.

"I've lived in the village for more than 30 years, and I've never heard of a well here!" Don't be mistaken. ”

Everyone fell silent, apparently doubting their memories.

The adult sighed and said, "Forget it, we'll look around again!" ”

Then someone beckoned the other children to call me and the ruffian's family.

My voice was almost hoarse below, but the people outside the well seemed to be separated from each other, and they didn't hear anything.

The ruffian was even more frightened and his teeth fought, and God said, "I say, there are ghosts!" We're done! ”

At this time, the cold hairs on my back began to stand up one by one, could it be that I had really suffered a ghost!

Suddenly, there was a low whining sound from the bottom of the well, and the ruffian was instantly frightened and screamed, and he was already incoherent, and crawled on me vigorously, and I was also frightened, and a cold air instantly spread from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and I almost jumped up.

But the trembling of the ends of my hair made me wake up instantly, this is not a ghost crying, it is the sound of the wind!

Fortunately, I was deeply educated in atheism, and I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so I instantly regained my composure, and I licked my fingers on the TV, put them in the air, and sure enough, I felt a trace of coolness on the right.

The winter wind is bitterly cold.

However, the inexplicable scene just now has always lingered in my mind and constantly shocked my worldview.

I suddenly remembered that I had a box of firecracker matches in my pocket, and a box of big red hawk crackers. Hurriedly took out the match and stroked, and the tiny flames instantly illuminated the bottom of the well.

Sometimes when you feel hopeless in the dark, a glimmer of light can really bring endless hope.

The faint flame in my hand drove away the fear in an instant and warmed the hearts of both of us. I feel like a little match girl, but what the little girl sees is the delicious food that fills the hunger, and what we see is the exit!

That's right, it was really an exit, a dark hole, to my chest, and judging by the trembling of the flames, there was indeed wind in the hole. What does it mean to have wind, it means that this hole leads to the outside world!

I told the ruffian that I could go out here, but the ruffian didn't believe it and didn't dare to go in.

I didn't care about him, I just lowered my head and got in, and when I saw that the match was about to burn out, I lit another one and protected it with my hand.

The ruffian cried out and said don't leave him, and came in, one hand still hooking the waistband of my trousers.

This hole is general, twisting and twisting, and the diameter is slowly getting bigger, but fortunately, there are no forks, and there are gravel scattered in some places, and it seems that you can still see the traces of tools, as if someone has dug it.

Generally, the bottom of the well is open to groundwater, maybe this hole is the source of water, but over time, the water level drops, and it becomes a cave.

At the back we were able to walk upright, and at this time the last match was used.

At this moment, I saw a little light flickering not far away, and I was overjoyed, and pulled the ruffian to show him, and the ruffian smiled when he saw it.

That's right, we're going out!

The two of us threw away the burnt matches and trotted towards the light, and as the light got closer and closer, suddenly the space around us suddenly increased, and we appeared in a bedroom-sized inner room underneath.

Only then did I realize that the light was not sunlight, but from the candles burning in the four corners of the inner room! The candle flame turned out to be as white as snow!

And in the center of the inner room, there lies a huge sarcophagus quietly!

It's a burial chamber!
