Chapter Forty-Eight: The Book of Heavenly Desolation
Staying alone in Sun Dapeng's house, for Zhang Yicheng, who is used to playing video games, can be regarded as the harshest torment in his life, not to mention video games, there is not even a TV in this house, there is a broken radio, it seems that it is still broken, I can't hear anything clearly, it seems that the only household appliance that can work normally is the light bulb on the roof, seeing that the sky is getting dark, Zhang Yicheng began to look for the switch all over the house, but until it was so dark that he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't find where the switch was, Zhang Yicheng almost died of depression.
To say that in the summer night in the mountains, the city people must not be adapted, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, although the day is still more than 30 degrees hot people sweat, but at night the sky is cool, the city of Zhang Yi is frozen and shivering, although there is a heart to cover the quilt, but pick up the blanket on the bed and smell it or give up, just sit in bed until almost eleven o'clock, only a rustle of footsteps came from outside.
"It's considered that I've finished this supper..."Zhang Yicheng was ten thousand angry, and said that when this kid came back, he would have to treat him well, but he didn't expect that this string of footsteps would cross the edge of Sun Dapeng's house and go straight to the back of the room.
"Who!?" Zhang Yicheng subconsciously leaned on the edge of the window, and in the moonlight, he saw a black shadow sneakily walking under the window of the house behind Sun Dapeng's house, opening the window and turning in.
"Could it be that the bad guys are back!?" When he came, Zhang Yicheng listened to Xiao Zhu talk about the outline of the case, Zhou Wenqiang, who lived behind Sun Dapeng's house, seemed to be a suspect to be arrested by the Public Security Bureau, and Sun Dapeng also reflected that this person had also come back recently, could it be that he let himself catch up today? Thinking of this, Zhang Yicheng rubbed his eyes and began to stare intently at the movement of the house in the back row.
What Zhang Yicheng didn't expect was that the black shadow didn't turn on the light after he turned into the window of the back room, but stayed inside for about five or six minutes and then came out again, with an extra black mess in his hand, and he couldn't see what it was. Although Zhang Yicheng has not studied martial arts in depth, judging from the skill of jumping out of the window, kung fu is probably not under the uncle (old Liu Tou) and his father.
"What the hell are you doing?" Zhang Yicheng wondered for a while, from the analysis of the economic situation of Sun Dapeng's family, the people who live in his house are probably not rich, and they should not attract such a skilled thief to patronize, and according to Sun Dapeng, if it is really a bad guy, it should be two people, and theoretically speaking, these two people should have the key to the house, and they should not open the window...
At this time, the black shadow sneaked away again, and the direction of walking was not the direction out of the village, but the direction of going up the mountain. "It's broken... Daddy is still on the mountain..."Seeing that this person seemed to be going up the mountain, Zhang Yicheng couldn't help but worry for a while, if this person was really Zhou Wenqiang or the person he brought home, maybe he would also go to that stone pillar, since this person is a suspect wanted by the Public Security Bureau, he will definitely kill people without blinking, this black light is blinding, what if he sneaks up on his father?
"Sun Dapeng, who has the guts to track down the bad guys, why can't I...?" Thinking of this, Zhang Yicheng opened his bag and took a flashlight, and pinched the harrier and wanted to track it, but it was nothing if he didn't take the bird, this bird really scared Zhang Yicheng, and he saw the harrier who had nothing to do just now, and at this time the feathers were erected, as if he was trembling.
"What's going on!?" Zhang Yicheng untied the rope tied to the harrier's legs, pinched the harrier with his hand and threw it into the air, but he didn't expect the harrier to flutter its wings twice and fall into Zhang Yicheng's hand, "This is unproductive, what kind of trick is scared like this... Could it be that the thing that the man took out of the house just now was strange? Although I wondered in my heart, Zhang Yicheng attached great importance to this performance of the harrier, and wanted to take the flashlight and leave, but at this moment, for the sake of insurance, I put my "treasure bag" on my back again, although it is tiring to climb the mountain with this pile of things, but there are things to deal with the living and the dead, and if there is any danger, it will not be blind...
Pressing the memory of the mountain, Zhang Yicheng trotted all the way to the intersection of the mountain, as expected, looking up, there seemed to be a flashlight flashing halfway up the mountain, and the color of the flashlight was definitely not Zhang Guozhong (Zhang Guozhong used the beautiful * flashlight given by Qin Ge, and the light was white). "Sure enough, it's the bad guy... Climb really fast enough..."Zhang Yicheng is really a little scared this time, he just packed his bag so well, this person who climbed through the window has already climbed halfway up the mountain, it seems that it is impossible to inform his father before this person with his physical strength, but after thinking about it, his father is not a fool, don't you know how to hide when you see a flashlight coming from afar? Thinking of this, Zhang Yicheng began to think about what might happen and how to deal with it while climbing the mountain...
At the same time, on the mountain.
From Sun Dapeng's house with tools, Zhang Guozhong went straight to the stone pillar (slender) in the north, and when he walked to the place, it was almost dark, and the difficulty of chiseling this stone pillar was far more difficult than Zhang Guozhong's thinking, and the hard stuffing that blocked the cracks did not know what the material was, the hardness seemed to be far more than cement, and it took three or four hours to barely chisel through a one-finger-wide gap, and it turned out that this layer of filling was quite thick, let alone one and a half feet.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, Zhang Guozhong had to pick up the flashlight and shine it along the gap that had just been chiseled, fortunately, the brightness of the flashlight in the United States is absolutely powerful, although the gap is not big, but with this strong light similar to a flash, the situation inside the column can still be seen clearly.
"Damn... What the hell is this..."Follow the beam of the flashlight, only to see that the inside of the stone pillar is also hollow, similar to the thick pillar in the south, the internal space of this stone pillar is also spindle-shaped, and the four walls are also engraved with strange inscriptions, in the center of the "spindle", there is a vertical stone pile, about the thickness of an adult's forearm, although the surface is quite delicate, but it is by no means like the product of modern industrial machine polishing, the iron bar is vertically fixed with a neat row of snake bones, said to be a snake bone, in fact, it should be a "dry snake", Judging from the degree of drying, the time to die should not be very long, but it is definitely not more than a day or two. "It's weird... "Turn off the flashlight, Zhang Guozhong's brows suddenly wrinkled into a pimple, it stands to reason that this pillar here should be the positive yin position in the mountain, although it is a living thing, but the snake itself likes yin, even in modern biology, the snake is also defined as a "cold-blooded animal", and the snake of cultivating immortals is a evil animal, and there should be more yin, even if it is nailed to this positive yin position, it should be like a fish in water, and it is easy to die, even if it is dead, it should not become a "snake dry" in this positive yin place, And the pillar on the south side is in the positive yang position, and the snake in the north pillar is set in that pillar, just like a fish coming ashore, it should die quickly, and it will dry up quickly, according to the normal theoretical analysis, it should be the dead in the pillar in the south into a dry corpse, and the snake in the north pillar is alive, why is it the other way around at this moment?
"Could it be that I reversed yin and yang?" Zhang Guozhong turned off the flashlight and carefully recalled the trend of the mountain he watched during the day, but the more he recalled, the more he felt that it was right, the south was the positive yang position, and the north side was the positive yin position. "Could it be that Zhou Wenqiang and the person he brought to get it?" Thinking of this, Zhang Guozhong suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, at the beginning, the master Ma Zhenren once told himself such a true story: in the first year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty (1126 AD), the general of the Jin State led the army from Mengjin (the west of Henan Province, on the south bank of the Yellow River, belonging to Luoyang City) to cross the Yellow River in the south, and captured Kaifeng in the following month, Qinzong Zhao Huan fled south, and the Northern Song Dynasty was declared extinct.
At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty's Hebei West Road Prison was named Liu Yu (Song Gaozong Jianyan two years, that is, in 1128 A.D., he was appointed to know Jinan Mansion, and the Jin soldiers besieged the city, killing the brave Guan Sheng and surrendering. This person is a tomb robber with the same name as Wen Tao in Chinese history, as early as the beginning of the Jin soldiers to the south, he abandoned his post and reduced the Jin, and was supported as a puppet emperor by the Jin State in the fourth year of Gaozong Jianyan, with the name of Daqi and the establishment of the capital Damyo (now Hebei Daimyo).
Although he is a puppet emperor, he basically has no military power, but after all, he is also an emperor, and a group of people kowtow to him every day, which Liu Yu has also regarded as an emperor addiction. However, this addiction is not in vain, every year, Liu Yu must pay a large amount of "annual tribute" to the Jin State, the amount should be called "astronomical" according to the current words, according to the legend that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qi State, the annual tribute to the Jin State every year only needs 15,000 catties of gold, 50,000 catties of silver, in addition to hundreds of thousands of cloth, grain, livestock and other things, this number is several times higher than the "annual tribute" given to the Khitan in the Northern Song Dynasty. Coupled with the continuous natural disasters and the lack of land harvest, it is obviously unrealistic to scrape money from the living, so this Liu Yu followed the example of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Wen Tao and other predecessors, and simply stretched out his black hand to the dead.
Like Cao Cao's establishment of official positions such as Captain Touching Jin and General Faqiu Zhonglang, Liu Yu set up the position of "Taosha Official" under his own hands, specifically responsible for robbing tombs and mounds, in order to prevent the fertilizer water from flowing into the fields of outsiders, he even pulled his own son into the water, because there was no military power in his hands, and the manpower was limited, so Liu Yu and the Jin general who captured Kaifeng Sticky Han were tied to the line, and the two of them hit it off with each other. According to the lines of modern movies, "I'll come with the black pot and send you to death", this Liu Yu can be regarded as the first person to "introduce foreign capital".
After the funds and personnel are in place, there is the issue of "project".
At that time, Liu Yu had a dog-headed military advisor named Li Wanshan, the word Hongtong, the name Zuo Liang Xianweng, was the protégé of the Quanzhen patriarch Ma Danyang, and was expelled from the division for stealing the "reverse law", and Luo Youchang, the founder of the sect at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, this Li Wanshan was expelled from the division not only did not repent, but intensified, although he did not create a cult as a traitor like Luo Youchang, but also created a set of spells that damaged yin and lost morality, called "Heavenly Desolation Classics", this kind of evil art is not quite the same as the descending technique, it is not a spell for a certain person, Rather, it is a spell that specifically targets the trend of yin and yang.
There is a formation to change yin and yang in Maoshan called "Qinglong Red Blood Array", which was invented by the ancestors of the previous generations to treat the formation of grievances, but this formation is more severely limited by materials and environment, and the time limit after the formation is very short, and the "Heavenly Desolation Classic" is based on the principle of this kind of formation, sorting out and researching a set of methods to change yin and yang, most of which belong to the category of "reversing the sky and breaking life", less than a year and a half and more on the spot, but also some need "teamwork" of the vast project, in short, this is definitely a set of spells that "harm others but not themselves".
According to Master Ma Zhenren, this Li Wanshan should be a genius, but it's a pity that his intelligence is not used in the right path. Just like the modern computer geniuses who are obsessed with writing computer viruses and engaging in hacker attacks, they always like to show off their talents in a sabotage way, this kind of person's ability to distinguish between right and wrong is often worse than ordinary people, as long as they can find a place to use their talents, even if they are traitors, they will be happy to do it, once this kind of person's talent is used by bad people, the troubles are absolutely endless, Li Wanshan is like this, although the set of formation spells he invented to change yin and yang seems to have little significance on the right path, But in Liu Yu's eyes, this is a rare treasure, what is Liu Yu thinking in his head? Tomb robbery! For most of the royal tombs, the secret passage is at most an "entry-level" protective measure, in the eyes of Liu Yu and Sticky Han, such a formal and huge tomb robbery army is simply not enough, for the tomb tomb, the most headache for Liu Yu is still those anti-theft tomb formations, however, these tomb formations are based on the yin and yang trend and play a role, including the Tang Dynasty's popular signature formation "Chisel Dragon Formation", but if the yin and yang trend changes, can these evil formations still play a role? Even if it is Wu Zetian's Qianling, although the formation is complicated, I will cut the mess with a quick knife, changing the yin and yang is tantamount to pulling the gate and cutting off the power for you, and your formations can still have an effect...?
