Chapter 12: Wandering Heavy Rain
Looking at Dong Tian's expression, my cold hair stood up, what the hell is wrong with this old boy? I looked in the direction he was looking, but there was nothing...
I looked at him quizzically. "Brother Dong, what's wrong with you?"
Who knew that Dong Tian's face actually began to twitch, "Black shadow...... Black...... Shadow! ”
"What's that?" I was confused.
Dong Tian rolled his throat down, and seemed to regain a little composure, "I saw a black shadow just now, and it disappeared with a bang." Although he seemed to be calm, his face twitched from time to time, revealing the fear in his heart.
"Did you really see that?" I still don't believe it, what is this thing so fast, he saw it, and none of us saw it.
"He just passed by suddenly, and in that direction, he smiled at me." Dong Tian's voice sounded hoarse. I don't think his expression is telling a lie, and then I look at the Liu family brothers, and Su Xiao, who is standing beside me, also have solemn expressions, obviously agreeing with Dong Tianzhi's words.
"Whatever it is, we can't afford to mess with it today, so let's go back. Since you said that you saw Wu Dayou's corpse, then you have no clue about these things, let's go back and think of a way first. Liu San, who hadn't spoken much, spoke.
I suddenly sounded Liu Er's expression just now, what did he say about what we provoked?
I was about to ask, but out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly felt a black shadow flickering not far away, facing the moon, I seemed to see a strange human face, and on the black shadow, a smile flashed.
"Ahh I screamed.
Seeing me like this, everyone who was going to leave immediately looked at me.
"I saw it, I saw it." I immediately spoke.
"What do you see?" Su Xiao also seemed to sense that something was wrong and hurriedly asked me. I took a breath, then slowly spoke, "Black Shadow! He was laughing. ”
Listening to my tone, they didn't speak. Dong Tian saw it just now, and then I saw it, so there is only one possibility for the truth.
That thing is in the darkness all around us!
Thinking of this, everyone became nervous. Even the brothers of the Liu family looked very dignified, although they ate the bowl of rice of tomb robbery, they were not Taoist priests, and they didn't have much to do with these strange things.
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly thunder sounded in the sky, and my heart jumped to a beat, and when I looked up, I realized that a black cloud had floated above our heads, and the thunder came from there.
"It's not good, it's going to rain heavily, this season, we have this weather here, the heavy rain is coming, let's go, in case of heavy rain, there may be a flood in the ancient river channel of the battlefield, and it will be over then." Listening to the thunder in my ears, my face turned extremely pale.
I have experienced this kind of thing when I was a child, and when I was seven years old, I saw a man in the field of sand buried in a sand pit in a lot of water, and there was not a single person alive.
But with my roar, only Dong Tian pulled his legs and seemed to plan to go with me, but the Liu brothers didn't move.
"Let's go, don't you want to die?" I couldn't care so much at the moment, and immediately yelled at them.
Who knew that I actually saw Su Xiao staring at a certain place motionlessly.
I subconsciously looked in the direction they were looking, and there was nothing in the dark, and the direction was roughly in an abandoned sand field.
"What's that?" Su Xiao asked me suddenly.
"There? It was the sand field of Wangjiazhuang in the next village in the past, and then it was abandoned when people died, and I heard that there was not much sand. I wiped the cold sweat from my head.
"Let's go, you guys, quick!" I watched these people still not move, they were really angry, and the Liu brothers were just fine, but why was Su Xiao's elf spirit stupid at this time?
"Don't make a noise, little brother, maybe there is a great fortune in front of us! You see! ”
Liu Er stretched out his finger and pointed at the abandoned sand field. I wondered what was wrong with all these people? But he still looked in the direction he was pointing.
"Huh? What's going on? I looked at the scene in front of me and opened my mouth wide.
I saw that the thunder and lightning in the sky were actually penetrating into the ground, as if something on the ground was attracting. This is fucking weird, how can this happen in a broken battlefield?
But looking at the dark clouds in the sky getting heavier and heavier, I really didn't have the heart to look at it with them. "Hurry up, if you don't leave, something will happen." I yelled a few times.
"Go, go first, wait for the rain to pass, and then say, hehe, what a fucking luck, Second Master Dong, thanks to your blessing, I'm going to get rich this time!" Liu Er's voice was trembling, full of joy.
Dong Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, and then his eyes began to glow, "You mean there's something good down here?" ”
"It should be right, let's go first, the third child, you go and listen." Liu Er beckoned us to walk down the river, but Liu San ran towards the old sand pit.
"Second Brother Liu, is this okay?" I asked him with some uncertainty. From what they said just now, coupled with Su Xiao's expression, I also faintly sensed something, the great wealth that Liu Er said may be that there is a big cemetery underground, otherwise it would be impossible for these guys to have this kind of expression.
"It's okay, let's go." Liu Er pulled me, he and Dong Tian took the lead in leaving, I squatted down and picked up Su Xiao to follow them, and when I left, I looked back, Liu San had disappeared into the darkness, and the thunder in the sky was even more urgent.
Soon we were on the way up the river, and I led them to a halt in an abandoned shack on the side. This shack used to be used for those who dug up the sand to put dry food and rest for a while.
I asked Su Xiao what was going on just now. My voice is very loud, and I don't plan to hide it from Dong Tian and Liu Er.
Liu Er smiled and nodded, and Su Xiao blinked. "I shouldn't have told you about this, but now that you are one of our people, count yourself in, little brother, you have a share of the wealth this time." Although Liu Er's tone was very calm, I could hear his suppressed excitement. "Miss Su, let's talk to him, I can know these things, but it's not as good as you, hehe."
Su Xiao nodded and looked at me, "Awen, Second Brother Liu is right, there is something big down here." And it's a big tomb. Su Xiao said with a pause.
Listening to her say this undoubtedly confirmed my suspicion. I felt my heart beat faster, could I really see what I had heard the old people talk about when I was a child?
"Did you see that scene? It's when there is thunder in the sky, and then lightning flows towards that place. Su Xiao held her small bag in her arms and whispered to me, I saw that she seemed to be a little cold, and put the gown she was wearing on her shoulders.
Dong Tian was also looking at it with ordinary eyes, and I estimated that although he knew that there was a tomb below, he didn't know what was going on.
"In fact, this thing is also simple to put it bluntly, ancient tombs are generally buried with a large number of copper and iron utensils, metal carriages, and some symbolic status
and the treasures of status, these are conductive metals, and when they encounter a strong lightning current, they will definitely react. You should have studied high school physics or something, and you understand this electrical reaction, right? ”
Hearing Su Xiao say this, I suddenly realized, damn it, it turns out that there are so many Taos here.
When Su Xiao said this, Liu Er next to him smiled, "Miss Su is worthy of being a cultural person, this is the first time I've heard this statement, but it seems to be like this, anyway, it will be a while before the third child comes back, Miss Su, why don't I tell Second Master Dong and the little brother?" ”
"Okay, Second Brother Liu, you can say it, hehe, I haven't learned much about my grandfather's skills, after all, my family doesn't do this anymore......" Su Xiao smiled shyly.
"That's okay, second master, little brother, my Lao Liu will tell you about our business today." Liu Er cleared his throat. "There are three hundred and sixty lines in the world, and there are doorways to do it, and those who do our line of work, some people say that we are the soil masters, some people say that we are ground rats, and some people point directly, and rob tombs. Actually, there are a lot of doorways here. ”
"Let's take today's incident, there must be something big in this tomb, why? This Brother Rong sells a pass, wait a minute. If you want to talk about this business, you must first talk about the two factions of the north and the south. Liu Er said here, Dong Tian interrupted him.
"Lao Liu, I know the two factions of the north and the south, and I know the rest." Hearing him say this, I smiled and said to Liu Er, I also know this thing.
Liu Er looked at me in surprise, but he didn't expect that I also understood this. They didn't know that Su Xiao had told me about the southern and northern factions earlier.
"Those two know, I'll talk about the northern faction, our two brothers are from the northern faction, and the "northern faction" is known for its "skill". In our line of work, we pay attention to the front and tail of the coffin, square holes, and round holes. Generally speaking, the square mouth is generally the hand sent by the north, and according to Guanzhong, we generally use the Luoyang shovel. The southern school is more particular, or Miss Su, you will chatter? ”
Speaking of this, Liu Er smiled at Su Xiao and motioned for Su Xiao to talk about the Southern School.
Su Xiao didn't refuse, and cleared his throat. "Second Brother Liu said just now, the northern faction pays attention to skill, and the southern faction pays attention to skill."
Hearing this, Dong Tian asked what was a skill. Su Xiao continued: "The Southern Sect makes good use of the four methods of looking, hearing, asking, and cutting. "I wondered when I heard this.
"Isn't this for medical treatment? I heard this being muttered by the old doctors in our village. Could it be that he is also a tomb robber? ”
After listening to my words, Su Xiao and Liu Er both laughed.
"Ah Wen, this is not medical, what about Wangwen and Asking, it is an abbreviation, mainly some of the methods that the Tufuzi have studied in this feng shui white matter, such as the feng shui technique and the qi method. Generally, there are very few people who do this business alone, and they all have partners, and there must be a palm eye in this group, just like just now, Third Brother Liu did this, so Second Brother Liu let him go. Su Xiao patiently told me this.
"I see." I nodded in a flash of realization.
"Generally, this palm eye has to know a lot of skills, mainly to observe the wind, look at the air, listen to the sound, and look at the soil. There is also a saying that you will hear it three times. Just now, Second Brother Liu used the listening thunder in the three hearings. And listen to the wind and listen to the rain......."
Listening to Su Xiao still talking about this, I was shocked again, I didn't expect that there are so many doorways here, and it is really the champion in the line.
But at this time, a black shadow not far away slowly approached.
"Isn't it the third son?" Liu Er glanced at it and asked with a pinched throat.
The black shadow heard Liu Er's voice and let out a strange bird call. Hearing this, Liu Er's face appeared with joy.
Although I don't know how they communicate, it's obviously the jargon, and I walk out with them.
When Liu San approached me, I found that he was disgraced, but his face was full of excitement.
"Absolutely, absolutely!" His voice trembled.
At this time, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and then the rain came down. On the edge of the Yellow River, the summer rain has come and gone.
Less than half an hour after Liu San came back, the rain stopped, and the roar of the upper reaches of the river could be faintly heard in his ears. Dong Tian asked me what is this?
"The flash flood is particularly powerful, and when it comes, it can fill all the sand fields and rivers below, and people will never be able to get out if they go in, so they will be buried directly below." Listening to what I said was so terrifying, Dong Tian nodded in disbelief.
I knew he wasn't convinced, "Anyway, the rain hasn't completely stopped, you wait a while, it's coming soon." ”
I glanced outside, counting the time in my heart, about five or six minutes later, we felt the ground under our feet shaking, Dong Tian poked out his head and retracted, his face was full of horror, "My mother-in-law, why is it so powerful?" ”
Everyone but me poked their heads out to look at the scene in front of them.
As the roar and vibration under his feet became more and more powerful, far away from the river, I saw a five or six meters high red yellow wall pouring down the river, the momentum was unstoppable, the sound of the waves was faintly like thunder, and the fog in the river valley was filled, like a pot of boiling water. The red yellow did not seem to fall down, but shifted, Dong Tian raised his head and looked at the hanging water curtain, from time to time there were sand holes in the sand field collapsing, and there were floods falling into the lower ditch.
After a while, the waves passed, and the waves were overflowing, but the water on it still rushed out vigorously, and the waves passed, but the wind driven by the momentum had just blown, and the wind was mixed with this kind of fishy smell, which made people breathless.
Looking at the rolling flood, except for the fact that I had seen too much of this thing, several people, including Su Xiao, were all stunned, looking at this scenery, and suddenly forgot what we were going to do.
After a long time, Su Xiao suddenly said, "I finally know why it is called the mother river of the Yellow River, don't say the real Yellow River, it is this ancient river, the feeling here is completely different." Next to him, Dong Tian nodded.
While they were reminiscing, I felt a sigh in my heart, and I had fucking forgotten about the big thing.
"As soon as this torrent came, all the things in the battlefield were buried, and Wu Dayou's body was absolutely gone, how can this be done? All the clues are in full section. I said helplessly to a few of them.
When I said that, they suddenly remembered this stubble. Among them, Dong Tian was the most panicked, "Damn, is the tomb finished now?" ”
But as soon as I heard what he said, I laughed angrily, when the hell are you still thinking about this.
He smiled embarrassedly, and Liu Er next to him shook his head, "It's not in the way, what we do is the business of robbing tombs, and it doesn't matter if we bury it." After listening to him, Dong Tian patted his head and suddenly remembered that this was originally underground.
In fact, in my heart, I don't care if I rob the tomb or not, I think about how my father died? Wu Dahu, Wu Da has two brothers, and the iron head that disappeared for no reason. Of course, the most important thing is the things that my father left me in my hands.
I always feel that things are not that simple, but seeing that they don't seem to be interesting to pursue, I can't say anything, after all, this matter really has little to do with people.
I didn't say it, but I didn't expect Dong Tian to speak first. "Lao Liu, let go of this tomb first, I paid a lot of money to invite you this time, how can you say that you will also handle my affairs for me first. My old man is waiting for my letter, you can't embarrass me. ”
Suddenly hearing Dong Tian say this, the atmosphere instantly froze, and Dong Tian, who looked like he was still smiling just now, became serious, and instantly recovered the momentum when I first met him, giving people the feeling of being in control.
"Ahem, this ......" Liu Ergan laughed, "This matter is not a conflict, the second master I know what you mean, firstly, I can't afford to offend you, and secondly, we also have rules for doing business, since we have taken your work, we will naturally do it to the end." But it's not that simple now. ”
"How so? Price is not an issue. Dong Tian frowned and asked suspiciously.
"Do you remember what I said just now when we saw Wu Dayou's body disappear at the bottom of the river?" Liu Er sighed.
"I remember, you said we messed with something." Hearing him say that, I immediately remembered.
"Yes, what the little brother said is right, I didn't want to say this thing, but now that the second master has spoken, I can't help it, even if it's dangerous, I can only fight." Liu Er's face suddenly turned fierce.
"Second Master Dong, my old Liu will ask you again? Are you really looking for that thing from your ancestors? Liu Er's face was solemn and he asked again.
Dong Tian didn't say anything, I saw that his face began to struggle, and I silently thought in my heart that you must agree. After a while, Dong Tian's hoarse voice came out, "This is my old man's wish." ”
Hearing him say this, my hanging heart relaxed, and it was done.
In fact, I also knew in my heart why Dong Tian hesitated just now, he knew that Liu Er didn't dare to lie to him, thinking that there was really something, but he finally decided.
"Needless to say, the people present, little brother, have already joined in, I don't know anything else, those things in your hands have a lot to do with it, then Miss Su is left, Miss Su, what about you" Liu Er looked at Su Xiao.
Now I understand what Liu Er means, it seems that they want to move seriously, this matter is involved in three lives, and they can't leak the news, otherwise it will be easy to make a big mess.
Su Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
I don't know why Su Xiao agreed, but the moment she agreed, I was very happy.
"Alright, I'll talk about it. We should be provoked by something that shouldn't be provoked, this Yellow River has been around for thousands of years, and there are too many messy things, too many unknowable things, some are clean, and some are even more unclean. Liu Er lit a cigarette for himself when he said this, and smoked it.
"Among them, the most fierce and evil is said to be the Yellow River Dragon Palace, of course this is a legend, no one knows whether it is true or not, anyway, we say so in this industry."
Hearing him say this, I smiled disdainfully in my heart, this person can really talk nonsense, he has a mother's legs, and a few handfuls of Dragon Palace, is there Nezha.
But before I could finish laughing, his next sentence made my face change dramatically.
"No one knows if there is such a thing in this Yellow River Dragon Palace, but there is another one that is not inferior to the Yellow River Dragon Palace. That's the Yellow River Sand Ghost! ”
"What?" I yelled, and when I saw that they were all looking at me, I could barely suppress the vibration in my heart and motioned for Liu Er to continue. "If you want to say that this Dragon Palace is wow, I think it's nonsense, but this Yellow River sand ghost is real. It is said that this Yellow River sand ghost is the one who has been living in the Yellow River for thousands of years, from ancient times to the present, all the souls and grievances of those who died in the Yellow River have been condensed in the Yellow River sand, and they will never be able to live forever, waiting for the living to replace them. If anyone is entangled, they will not die. ”
Hearing Liu Er say this, I instantly felt that my heart was in my throat, this is fucking, is it really fake?
"Liu Er, do you mean that we really got into trouble with this thing?" Dong Tian finally felt frightened, and asked Liu Er in a trembling voice.
Liu Er nodded, "Back then, I heard a senior say that the Yellow River sand ghost, catching people for life, without a trace, left foot right, right foot left, reversing yin and yang, taking souls for life. ”
"This ......" I remembered the footprints in the sand I had seen earlier, and even remembered what happened in my father's grave that night, and even the sand on my father's face when he died.
Could it be that my father was replaced? My heart was in a state of fear.
"What the hell is going on with this Yellow River sand ghost? Is this what has always been on my mind? I asked myself, but I couldn't find an answer.
"Could it be that the two brothers of the Wu family and the iron head have been replaced?" Dong Tian disappeared without a trace before the light wind and disappeared, and completely fell into the panic of the Yellow River sand ghosts.
"I can't say for sure, I hope not, otherwise things will be big." Liu Er shook his head and sighed, but Liu San didn't know what to think when he was there alone, so he was stunned.
I think Liu San, the old boy, is probably still thinking about the ancient tomb, and sighed in his heart. Then I wondered what was going on here, and the panic in my heart slowly subsided at the thought that I could be a part of it.
"According to the picture in your hand, Second Master Dong, and the remnant picture taken out by the little brother, I think we inadvertently made a big thing, think about it, my master was there in Yushan back then, I don't know what this thing is going on, but there must be a connection, I suspect that this tomb is not just one." Seeing that we had made up our minds, Liu Er began to speak his heart.
"You're saying it could be a huge tomb complex? And spread out in different places? Su Xiao heard Liu Er say this, and he was also interested.
I looked at this chick in surprise, I didn't see that she was so interested in tomb robbing, but I could see that she was different from the Liu brothers, she seemed to want to study something more. The Liu brothers want a sense of accomplishment.
I don't know how I could have guessed this, but I can tell that after so many things, I am not the same as before.
"Okay, if we want to explore the things under this ancient Yellow River road, and want to find out if the Yellow River sand ghosts are doing something, we are still preparing for now. Second master, your picture is in Lao Niuwa according to the little brother's words, but the little brother's picture is on the side of the battlefield, twenty miles back and forth, far and far, and near, as long as we really find this underground tomb, everything will be understood. ”
"Then it's not early today, let's go back first." I looked up, and it turned out that the rain had passed, the sky was clear, and slowly the white of the fish belly had appeared in the east.
A few people walked silently along the path by the river to my house, while the flood water in the sand river under their feet slowly became smaller.
I know that when the sun rises, the water stops, and when the sun rises, the sand is dried, and the sand diggers drive their machines to dig the sand.
When I returned to my house, Dong Tian and the Liu brothers went to their original house, and I took Su Xiao to my grandfather's house.
She has a cord on her feet, and I need to get her some medicine to put on it.
After I got the medicinal wine, I sat down in front of Su Xiao and said to her, "You bear with me, I'm here!" ”
Hearing me do this, Su Xiao's face instantly looked like a red apple.
