Chapter 9: Bloody Handprints
"This Qing Capsule Sutra, the book says that it was written by Hua Tuo, and it is Hua Tuo's lifelong medical experience, and it was later lost. This is the saying in the official history, and you probably heard this too, right? Liu Er smiled.
I nodded, and Dong Tian on the side was also interested, and his eyes were listening with relish.
"But do what we do, the rules left by the ancestors, this green sac is not Hua Tuo's green sac, to be precise, Hua Tuo is the green sac book, we are talking about the green sac scripture. This one book, one scripture, the difference is big, and there are more ways in it. Liu Er lit himself a dry cigarette and smoked it, and after a while, it was shrouded in smoke, looking like a magic stick.
But what he said made me interested.
"The so-called Qing Capsule Sutra, according to legend, was written by the ancestor of Huangshi, at that time it was still the Qin Dynasty, this book, divided into three volumes, the upper volume of the five qi of the river map, the direction of Luo Shu and the two qi of yin and yang fused into the positioning of heaven and earth, which is called the beginning. The middle volume says that the shape and qi between heaven and earth are attached to the direction and cooperate to form a whole, so it is called the transformation machine. The shape and qi of the next volume between heaven and earth are coordinated with various laws, so it is called formation. These three volumes are the beginning, the machine, and the formation, which can be said to be metaphysical feng shui, Qimen Dunjia, everything. ”
Dong Tian and I looked at Liu Er's high-minded conversation in front of us with straight eyes.
"High, really fucking high, I said Liu Er, I never found out that you still have this level, it's not easy to say." Dong Tian gave a thumbs up.
"Second master, you underestimate me, don't you? If you do what we do, you also need to know something, don't you? Let's not talk about anything else, if you don't know much, maybe one day you will provoke something you shouldn't mess with, or spoil something. ”
"Three hundred and sixty lines, there are rules in the line, and there are more rules in our line, but now the state is strictly controlled, and some things can't be made in a big way, just say that I was back then, it was a serious worship master who had incense to the grandfather, the second master, you poured antiques, where did those things come from? Haven't most of them come from our people? This thing is good at eyesight, and there is nothing in the stomach, so it can't get up. ”
The more I looked at this Liu Er, the more excited I became, and I couldn't wait for me and Dong Tian to worship him as a teacher now, and also be a native master who eats the food of the dead, and coughed heavily.
"Look, look, I'm running away, am I right? Miss Sue. Liu Er swallowed his saliva a little embarrassed, but unfortunately there was no tea or anything for him here, that look, it really fucking looked like a storyteller on the old Beijing overpass.
"That's the case, Brother Liu is right, your book is the kind he said." Su Xiao nodded.
I asked Su Xiao a little curiously, how do you understand these things.
When I said this, Dong Tian and the Liu brothers heard it, and they all laughed, which made me a little baffled.
In the end, Dong Tian spoke, "You underestimate Su Xiao, brother, people are doing this business seriously, there is a saying in the circle, Miss Su's palm is what you have seen, you will not go wrong with the fucking carbon 14 test, that work is amazing, I came out this time, but I begged Mr. Su for many days, and the old man let me take the girl out." ”
After listening to Dong Tian's words, I was a little confused, could it be that Su Xiao was also a tomb robber? But she doesn't look like it.
"Su Xiao, you are also a tomb robber?" I swallowed, incredulous.
"You're the one who robbed the grave." Su Xiao gave me an angry look.
"Ah Wen, you kid, Miss Su is engaged in antiques, and her family is very knowledgeable, so what do you say, so that Miss Su is not uncommon to do our business, and suffer from it." Liu Er looked at me and laughed.
"Ah.......h
"Why do you want this book?" Listening to Liu Er and Su Xiao's statement, I still don't know.
"You really don't know?" Su Xiao stared into my eyes.
I shook my head in confusion.
"Let me tell you this, the Qing Capsule Sutra is said to have been written by Huangshi Gong, and the history books record that he is a native of Qin, and his living age is about 220 BC, you should have a concept of going to school."
"Eh, that's when Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty, right?" I did the math in my heart, and I still knew this.
"But the problem is, if you look at your book, the materials used, I deduce that they are at least from the early Warring States period." As soon as I finished the calculation, Su Xiao said this.
"What?" This time it was Dong Tian's turn to be surprised, "My good girl, it's worth a lot of money now, no wonder Liu Er, your two brothers want to buy it, I also said when did your kid change sex, and he was willing to spend money." Dong Tian suddenly realized.
He has been pouring antiques, but he knows the value of a book from the early Warring States period.
"The little brother doesn't want to make a move, there is no way, and you have been disturbed by the second master." Liu Er sighed.
I listened to them, I didn't think about it, I just figured out, how could I have this thing in my house?
Touching the book in my hand, I felt heavy, damn it, according to them, this thing was worth the old nose's money.
"How is that possible? Could this book be older than Huangshi Gong? I asked Su Xiao in a daze.
What happened tonight is completely beyond my imagination.
"I don't know about this, maybe it's not that simple in your family." Su Xiao didn't know what he remembered, and his voice was a little erratic.
I touched it, and I didn't know what the book was made of, saying that it was paper was not paper, and it wasn't like silk, it was more like the skin of something to the touch, but it looked like it was some years old, exuding a kind of dark red, and it was still a little hard to the touch, but there was no sound.
That's when I remembered that I hadn't opened it since I dug it up.
I flipped it open, but I couldn't speak.
"Look at it, this ......" I shook my hand and handed the book to Su Xiao.
"Ahh How so? Su Xiao shouted.
Liu Er, Liu San, and Dong Tian also leaned their heads over, "I'll take a look, is this a book?" What's this? ”
Dong Tian looked at it inexplicably.
Liu Er and Liu San had the same expressions as Su Xiao, and their faces were full of incredulity.
As I unfolded, there was no text in the book, just a few thin pages.
Drawing some paintings that I can't read. It's more like some kind of haphazard line.
What chilled my heart the most was that there was blood inside, and four huge bloody handprints were stamped on those patterns, bright red, full of an evil aura.
"Is there anything ..... say?" I looked at the expressions of Su Xiao and the Liu family brothers, and guessed in my heart.
"Hey, I didn't expect that I, Liu Er, would be able to see this thing in my lifetime. God treats me well. Liu Er raised his head and let out a long sigh, but I saw that his expression was a little bitter.
"Little brother, you tell me, where did you get this thing?"
I listened to his voice, thought about it, and still felt that when I said the matter, it seemed that there was a kind of ominous hanging over me. I don't know why.
"This is what my grandfather left me!" I hissed.
I don't know how to explain these things, but the books that should have been handed down from the Qin Dynasty are the materials of the early Warring States period. My grandfather, who has been digging sand for generations, actually left me such a valuable thing, whether this is wealth or something else, I can't tell. Hearing me say that the Green Capsule Sutra was left to me by my father, Liu Er's face showed a look that I couldn't say.
"It's more than that, isn't it?" He thought about it and asked me.
"Should I tell him?" I muttered to myself. Liu Er saw that I hesitated, and said to Dong Tian, "Second master, take out your picture and show it to the little brother." ”
Dong Tian was puzzled, and finally reluctantly took out the remnant picture from his arms, which was said to be left by his ancestors. I don't know what this Liu Er means.
"Second master, you should know the status of my two brothers in this industry, if it is just for money, there is no need for my two brothers to come with you, although your second master Dong is rich, but my two brothers are not that bad, isn't it?"
Dong Tian nodded, and then looked at Liu Er with a puzzled expression, thinking that he was a little unclear about what Liu Er wanted to do. I am also the second monk who can't touch my head and is confused.
"Second master, I've seen your picture, and my little brother has also seen it, it's just a residual picture, and I took this business for this picture. Second master, you probably don't know about this layer, right? ”
Dong Tian's expression became serious, "Does my picture have anything to say?" ”
"My two brothers have been doing this for more than ten years, before and after, digging thirteen ancient tombs in seven provinces, which has the status of the rivers and lakes today. Originally, I was going to wash my hands, but when your second master asked someone to find me, he brought a rubbing of your picture, and the first time I saw that thing, I decided to participate in this competition. Liu Er's expression seemed to be reminiscing, and his expression was in a trance.
Hearing Liu Er say this, I gasped, damn it, these two old boys can't see it, they actually dug up thirteen ancient tombs in seven provinces, it's so fucking ruthless!
"I've seen that picture!"
"What?" Now Dong Tian and I screamed out together.
"Little brother, you should also have a picture in your hand." Liu Er glanced at me and stared at me with burning eyes.
When he said that, everyone's eyes turned to me. Now, I knew that I couldn't hide it, so I gritted my teeth and took out the remnant picture from my arms.
"Oh, that's it, it's also left to me by my father!" I raised the picture in my hand.
"Second Brother Liu, how do you know?" I asked Liu Er curiously.
"This picture, I've seen the whole picture!" The corners of Liu Er's mouth twitched, and his face was a little ugly. "That was seven years ago, my third year in the industry, and Nabi trading was done with my master, and my master is this one from the Northern Sect!" He gave a thumbs up. "That trip at the junction of Jiangsu Donghai and Shandong Linshu, is a big tomb, my master didn't know where the news came from at the time, took a few of our apprentices into the mountain in a donkey cart, a whole day and a night to find the tomb door, but went in and found that his mother was not the main room, only a few bones and sticks, skull shells, my master pondered, this should be a fucking ear room, we rested for a night, the next day only groped to find a passage, my master was so happy, immediately took us to want to go, Because through that passage, I could vaguely see something at the end, it was definitely a big thing, and that's what my master told me at the time. ”
"But damn it, no one knows that it's a soul-breaking road, my master took the lead, and as soon as he walked up, before he could see what was on the other side, he just shouted and told us to quit. At that time, I was at the back, although I didn't know what there was, but seeing that my master's eyes were about to bulge out, I ran away in a panic, and when I ran out, I looked back and saw that I was the only one left, and my master and those brothers didn't come out of the fuck. ”
"I was so scared, I haven't seen the world for three years, but I've never seen that kind of scene, after a long break, I groped my way inside, and when I got to the entrance of the passage, guess what?"
Liu Er swallowed, his eyes were full of fear, as if that thing was happening right in front of him.
"What's going on?" Dong Tian asked nervously.
"My master and my brothers and sisters all died in the passage, and the blood all over their bodies gushed out, and they actually flowed down the passage. I was also scared at that time, so I took off my leather jacket, dipped it in some kerosene for our lighting and threw it into the passage, and this time it was bright, but I saw something, a black shadow, my master's blood actually flowed into a trough, and the black shadow lay down and kept sucking, that sound, I have never heard before. It was probably me who alarmed the thing, and the thing suddenly looked up, and I could see clearly, a face, white and swollen, with long teeth. As he spoke, Liu Er gestured with his hand. He saw me and smiled at me, but the smile was very weird, and then I saw him lunging at me. I looked at the corpses of the masters on the ground, I was so scared that I ran away, and the moment I turned around, I saw a sarcophagus behind the guy, and there was a picture on the coffin! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Er lit a cigarette and smoked it.
None of us spoke, and I shivered as the wind blew along the dry Yellow River on all sides.
"When I ran out, I found that the thing had not been chased, and I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I ran to a local farmer's house overnight and stayed overnight, and then left that place the next day."
"Have you ever been back again?" I listened curiously.
"I've been back, why haven't I been back, after a while, I took a few more people with me, but this time it's strange, I can't find that place anymore."
"After I came back for the second time, I kept thinking about my master and the big tomb in my mind, so I asked someone to find out what kind of place it was. This check, I really found out something. ”
"That place is Hayama!" Suddenly, Su Xiao's voice sounded.
Liu Er glanced at Su Xiao in surprise and nodded. "Yes, that place is called Hayama, and it's very big."
"Although so many years have passed, the tomb, the event, and the picture I saw at the end have been engraved in my mind, and I dare not forget it, and I can't forget it. Until, some time ago, Brother Dong asked someone to ask my brother to make a move, saying that he was looking for something, and I saw his residual picture, and I knew that it was that picture! ”
"But the news left by my ancestors, the place on the map is here, and the mountain you told you about is far away." Dong Tian said puzzled.
"I don't know about that." Liu Er sighed, "However, the book that the little brother took out just now, the pictures in the book, one of them is the one I saw!" His tone was certain.
"You can't be mistaken, can you?" I asked Liu Er with trepidation.
"No way, absolutely impossible to be wrong."
I flipped through the book in my hand, looking at the pictures covered by a few bloody handprints, and my mind was in a mess.
"Master, what did you leave me?"
Things got even more confusing, I didn't know what was waiting for me in front of me, and there seemed to be an invisible thread that connected us together.
At this time, Su Xiao seemed to remember something.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas? The "Hai Nei Jing" said that the flood was monstrous, and the emperor's breath was flooded, and he did not wait for the emperor's life. Emperor Zhu Rong killed Kun in the suburbs of Yu! Suddenly, Su Xiao's voice sounded.
"What do you mean?" I looked at Su Xiao a little inexplicably.
"Dayu's father, Kun, I remember that it seems to have died in Yushan, and Yujiao is now Yushan!" Su Xiao said to me.
"Does it matter? Do you think that the tomb that Liu Er said is a cang? Dong Tian asked.
A few of us also think it's ridiculous, what is this, Su Xiao is too good at guessing.
"Who knows......" Su Xiao sighed.
"Okay, don't think about it, little brother, your picture and Dong Erye's picture must be the same, but we don't know what the relationship is, let's talk about these things later, it's not early, tonight we will come to see what is going on in this battlefield, how did Wu Dahu die, it's not too early."
I looked in the sky and saw that the moon had begun to slide towards the west, and it was indeed a long time later.
"Let's go, let's go." Everyone walked towards the battlefield with heavy hearts.
But at this time, suddenly a creepy voice came from not far away. There seems to be something laughing, and it makes people's hearts go hairy to listen to.
"Is there something?" Dong Tian stopped, swallowed his saliva and stared at the dark night in front of him.
