Dongfang Bai asked, "Who is this person?" ”

The girl replied, "I don't know either, the master said that his name is Li Erjiao and he lives in Luoyang, Henan." ”

Dongfang Bai asked, "What is this person's outstanding ability?" ”

The girl replied: "Master said that this Li Erjiao is a descendant of Captain Touching Jin, knows some ways to go to the tomb, and knows a lot about the Touching Jin faction, and with him with him, he may be able to help us deal with those tomb robbers." ”

Dongfang Bai was dismissive of this, "The heir of a tomb robber, what is there to cooperate!" ”

The girl said: "Master said that the Li family has long stopped doing things like fighting, his father is in his thirties, he has been married for many years, and his wife is pregnant one after another, but the result is either a miscarriage or death after birth."

I know that I have broken the feng shui of others, and I have retribution on my descendants.

So, I went to the famous White Horse Temple in Luoyang to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, promised to wash my hands in the future, and begged the Bodhisattva to give him a descendant to continue the incense. ”

Dongfang Bai can't look down on behaviors that harm others and benefit himself: "Ruining other people's feng shui will be retributed to his children and grandchildren." What are these so-called gold-touching captains doing? For a little money, digging graves and doing that kind of illegal and unrighteous things such as roosters and dogs stealing.

Don't take ill-gotten wealth, the rule of God is to borrow and repay, how much you take out from others, it will be doubled and returned more in the future! ”

The girl said: "I don't like these tomb robbers either, I heard the master say that a group of tomb robbers entered an ancient tomb with great difficulty, but saw a row of words written inside: 'If you don't move me, I won't move you!'" They were terrified. Money can be made anywhere, so why bother with this method! ”

Tang Tianshun asked: "Is this Li Erjiao the child who worshiped the Bodhisattva?" ”

The girl replied, "Exactly!" ”

This Li family in Luoyang, Henan Province, although it is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, but among the tomb robbers, no one knows about it, and no one knows it.

All walks of life in society, all five elements and eight works, all have an inventor, as if Cangjie made words, Cai Lun made paper, Du Kang made wine, and so on.

Luoyang shovel, a tool for tomb robbery, the inventor of this tool is Li Erjiao's father, Li Yazi.

Around 1923, Li Yazi, a villager from Mapo Village in Luoyang, went to the market and accidentally found a young man from a steamed bun shop building a shed, using a shovel shaped like a horse's hooves to make a hole in the ground.

This burrowing tool aroused Li Yazi's interest, and he realized that this thing was easier to probe into the ancient tomb than the iron cone he usually used.

So, I drew a paper pattern according to the tool, found a blacksmith to build it, and the first Luoyang shovel appeared.

Because the girl listened to her master's words very much, she insisted on going to Luoyang to find Li Erjiao. There was no way, the group had to step on the train from Hangzhou to Henan.

There is nothing to say on the road, only eating, sleeping and some simple small chatter or something, because it is not important to keep it simple in the book, and 10,000 words are omitted here.

When he arrived in Luoyang, facing the ancient city known as the four ancient capitals of my country, Dongfang Bai remembered Ouyang Xiu's "Waves and Sands":

Toast the east wind, and calmly. Weeping poplar purple Moluo east of the city.

Always hand in hand at that time, swimming all over the bushes.

Gathering and scattering are in a hurry, and this hatred is endless. This year's flowers are better than last year's red.

It's a pity that the flowers will be better next year, who do you know with?

He looked at the girl beside him, and realized that the girl was also looking at him, so he immediately looked away.

Next year's flowers will be better, who do you know with?

He thought to himself.

Everyone has no intention of appreciating the scenery, time waits for no one, and the ancient tombs may be stolen one step later, and the cheats will fall into the hands of thieves.

They were very anxious, eating baked cakes and pot helmets, and each of them drank a bowl of soup.

This no-turn soup is very famous in Luoyang, and the signboard of each one says that it is the most old-fashioned, traditional and authentic.

"Don't turn over the soup" was called "Jiufu doesn't turn over the soup" in ancient times.

What does it mean to "not translate"? It refers to a mung bean dough cake about the size of a child's palm.

This dough cake is very particular about making, first of all, the mung bean is soaked and ground finely mixed with water to make juice, the juice should not be thin or thick, and then the juice is spread on the pan, heated with a stove fire, it can be cooked in about a minute, because the whole process does not need to be turned over, so it is named "not turned".

After the noodles are ready, add blood clots, oyster mushrooms, shredded bean skin, vermicelli, fried croquettes, and heat them with mutton broth.

After it comes out of the pot, add some green onion coriander and chili oil, it is really refreshing and not greasy, delicious and delicious.

The group came to Li Erjiao's residence, at this time Li Yazi had been dead for many years, and he had not seen the light of day in the tomb all the year round, and he had been very weak due to the invasion of the yin qi in the tomb.

There are only Li Erjiao and his old mother at home, and they seem very lonely.

When I came to the door, because it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the peony had already overopened, and only the dry branches remained.

This Li Erjiao, because his family does not allow him to go to the tomb anymore and has nothing to do, likes to engage in some vassal elegance.

Luoyang peony is famous all over the country, and it is not surprising that each family grows a point. Li Erjiao's peony is more distinctive, and the more precious variety in front of the door is called "Erqiao".

Why is it called Erqiao? Because on a peony, two different colors of flowers can bloom, for example, a flower has two colors, purple and pink.

During the Three Kingdoms, there was a pair of sisters who were famous for their beauty, Da Qiao was Sun Ce's wife, and Xiao Qiao was married to Zhou Yu. This two-color flower is very beautiful, reminiscent of Big Joe and Little Joe, so it was named Er Joe.

Please go into the house, everyone explained their intentions, but who knew that he actually said: "You don't need to go to the ancient tomb to look for it, the library has it!" ”

Everyone was stunned.

He said: "Once I went to look for a book, I saw the "Green Capsule Cape Sutra", and said that it was written by Guo Pu! ”

Dongfang Bai corrected: "There is indeed a "Green Capsule Cape Sutra", which was forged by later generations under the name of Guo Pu, which is not credible. ”

Later, he agreed to set out with everyone to help.

Before the action, you should bring some things to be used on the road and when going to the tomb, and Li Erjiao has knowledge of this.

Dongfang Bai doesn't know much about this, although he has also seen some one-sided records in ancient books, saying that ropes, lamps and the like are used to go to the tomb, which are all general and cannot be used in practice.

If you go to the grave according to the book, it is not nine deaths!

At this time, he felt the importance of the girl's master's arrangement, although Li Erjiao didn't like it very much, but he couldn't do without it.

It's like a person with short-sightedness, although he doesn't like glasses pressed against his nose, but it's not very convenient to leave them.

Although Li Erjiao had not personally gone to the tomb before, he had been influenced by his father for a long time and could still understand the truth.

As the saying goes, "dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the children of mice will make holes", and there is really some truth in genetics.

Li Erjiao took it and introduced how to use these tools.

Flying Tiger Claw, a climbing tool with a claw at the tip of the rope, can be thrown out and grasp the fixed object on it, and then the person grabs the rope and climbs up. Similarly, it is possible to grasp a fixed object and slide down the rope.

"Of course, ropes are also to be carried, and if you encounter an enemy, after subduing him, you can use this to bind them. Perhaps, you can tie up a zombie or two. Hehe! ”

Flashlights for lighting are indispensable, one is not enough, at least one per person.

In addition, there are some self-defense weapons, such as daggers, pyrotechnic bombs, etc.

There are also some daily necessities, such as matches, military kettles, small iron pots and the like.

In addition, you should also bring some necessary medicines, such as cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and gauze to stop bleeding.

Finally, Li Erjiao said, "There are still some things that are not convenient to take on the road, so you can go to the local area and buy them again, such as shovels and other tools used when digging soil." ”

After saying it, Dongfang Bai changed some of his previous views, he no longer thought that this person was useless, it turned out that "rotten people sometimes have rotten usefulness!" ”

After getting ready, the girl suddenly took out a thing she was carrying with her, wrapped in a blue cloth, and put it in a large package of items for everyone.

Zhang Guoqiang saw clearly, although the thing was wrapped in blue and white cloth, but judging from the shape, it was long and not wide, like a sword.

Fortunately, during this period, it was the last moment of the Kuomintang-Communist War, and there was chaos everywhere. All the things they were carrying were safely put into the car.

Sitting in the car, Dongfang Bai closed his eyes and recuperated and didn't like to talk much. He was originally a person who could talk together, and he was willing to talk with you until dawn without sleeping; If you can't talk together, he won't want to talk to you about one more person.

Tang Tianshun is also a bit like Dongfang Bai, in terms of closeness, he is closer to his master than Zhang Guoqiang.

Girls don't talk much, and many times you don't say a word without asking her.

Zhang Guoqiang is the youngest and the most lively, some of them are young, and they may have too many hormones in their bodies to consume.

He asked Li Erjiao: "How did you get your name?" Why use anxious burning? ”

Li Erjiao was anxious again when he heard this, I didn't mean to be anxious, there was an allusion.

Zhang Guoqiang asked: "What are the allusions?" ”

Li Erjiao replied: Among the peonies in Luoyang, there is a very valuable variety, that is, "scorched peony".

Regarding the origin of the scorched peony, it is necessary to start from the Tang Dynasty, it is said that Wu Zetian likes to appreciate flowers and trees, and when it snows in winter in Chang'an, her old man drank high and gave a ridiculous order.

It was the eighth day of the lunar month, which was the coldest time of the year, and the flowers had withered, and it was impossible for any flowers to bloom.

However, at this time, there is a person who has to go to enjoy the flowers. Who? That is Empress Wu Zetian.

No way, people are empresses, how arrogant!

The Divine Decree is a poem:

Ming Dynasty Xingshangyuan,

Urgent spring knowledge.

Flowers and whiskers overnight,

Don't wait for the wind to blow.

The Empress is domineering! She said that tomorrow morning I will go to the royal garden to enjoy the flowers, and you are in a hurry to tell the spring god in charge of the hundred flowers that the flowers will bloom overnight, and do not wait until the morning breeze blows.

Zhang Guoqiang was curious, "Are the flowers blooming?" ”

Tang Tianshun interjected: "It is not in line with physics to open it, and it is not in line with common sense to open it." ”

Zhang Guoqiang asked: "How do you say it?" ”

Tang Tianshun replied: "You think, if it is really opened, it is not in season!" However, if it is not opened, then what if the emperor Chrysostom cannot take it back? ”

Li Erjiao continued: "It is said that the flowers really bloomed overnight, and only one flower did not bloom. What kind of flower is it? Peony flowers. ”

The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified,

Ikegami Hibiscus is net and less affectionate.

Only the peony is true to the country,

When the flowers bloom, the capital is moved.

In a fit of anger, the empress demoted all 4,000 peonies to Luoyang. In his anger, he ordered it to be burned, and it was burned to charred bones, and only the branches remained.

Zhang Guoqiang asked: "So what?" What does this have to do with your name? ”

Li Erjiao is a little self-satisfied: so there is a precious variety of peony called "Jiao Gu Peony", and my family happens to breed this variety, which is Yijiao.

Second, there was a person named Cai Yong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, Cai Wenji's father.

One day, he heard the different sounds of the firewood used in the neighbor's cooking, and rushed over and said, "Don't burn it, this is a good sycamore wood!"

Because although there were many kinds of wood used to make the piano in ancient times, the piano made of sycamore wood was the best.

However, when it was snatched out of the fire, the piece of wood was already half charred. Cai Yong made a piano out of the remaining wood, and because one piece was burnt, it was called a "scorched tail".

This is the second coke, and I happen to have this second coke, so I call myself Li Erjiao.

The girl also interjected when she heard this, she said: Jiaoweiqin is very famous, it is known as the four famous pianos in ancient China, together with the "horn bell" of Qi Huangong, the "winding beam" of King Chuzhuang, and the "green qi" of Sima Xiangru.

"How did you get such a precious guqin?"

Li Erjiao has been bragging for a long time, and now that he is asked about the key points, he is naturally embarrassed to say it.

At this time, Dongfang Bai was no longer silent, in fact, he had been listening for a long time, but he was unwilling to speak.

He said: "That's naturally the credit of the Luoyang shovel!" ”

Everyone understands that it turned out to be taken out of other people's funeral goods when Li Yazi robbed the tomb.

In order to ease the embarrassment, the girl asked, "Do plants really have spirituality?" ”

Dongfang Bai replied: "Yes." During the Anti-Japanese War, bamboo bloomed in large quantities (white flowers died on their own after they bloomed). ”
