When Blind Chen thought of this, he asked Partridge Whistle, since there was no trace in the desert, why did he go to the Black Water City of Western Xia? As early as a few hundred years ago, a quicksand swept all over the world, and the famous city of Xixia was completely buried, just like the exquisite ancient city, now most of them are impossible to find, it is better to go to Yunnan to rob the tomb according to the map, there are still some clues to be found, you and my brother's ability to be in one place, what is the big thing in the world that can not be done?

Partridge Whistle shook his head and said: "Xixia Heishui City was buried by quicksand, the art of moving mountains and reclamation is indeed powerless about it, but since ancient times, there is a way in the world to touch the gold school captain, good at searching the mountains and looking for the dragon, dividing the gold and setting the hole, his dragon hunting recipe has the secret art of Tianxing Feng Shui, you can look up at the stars, look down on the earth's veins, if you learn this technique, or please touch the gold school captain to help, want to find the Heishui City Tongtian Buddha Temple monuments, just like exploring the bag. ”

Chen Blind said: "Touching Captain Jin? It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Sanye's generation, there are only three gold talismans left in the world, after the Republic of China, I have never heard of the deeds of touching gold in the world, even if there are three or two good hands in the world who know how to divide gold and set acupoints, where to find such a master outside the world? ”

It is said that the abbot of Kuwu Temple was a "golden school captain" before he became a monk, but there are many things in the world today that "catch the wind and catch the shadows, swagger and deceive", Chen Blind and Partridge Whistle have not dealt with the elder, I don't know his true or false origins, and although the old monk is superb in Zen, but after all, he is old, God knows if he is still alive in the world? Moreover, it is difficult to say whether the secret technique of touching the golden school can be used in the desert.

Partridge Whistle and Chen Blind each have a big thing to do, and both think that "the other party's idea of things is ethereal and unfounded, and it is difficult to succeed", both of them have made up their minds, so they can't look back, and in the end, they only say that "people have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced", but they are ready to go to find the "Tomb of the King" and "Blackwater City" separately in Xiangyin.

A few days later, the news came again, the bandits near the old bear ridge Cao Kou made a big move, to the "filter pit" in the ancient tomb of Dangong in Bottle Mountain, there was a fierce armed conflict between all parties, many people were killed and injured, not only the ancestral cave of Dangong was destroyed, but also tasted the sweetness, felt that the tomb robbery could make a fortune, gathered the team to break the local county seat, and used explosives to blow up the "Fengming Ancient Tower" in Nuqing County.

This ancient tower is extremely supernatural, it has been repeatedly covered eight times in history, each time it is not more than ten years, it will inevitably collapse, it is not cutting corners or man-made destruction, the reason for the collapse of the ancient tower cannot be explained, until the last repair of the Yuan Dynasty, it has been preserved to this day, it is a famous monument in the place.

The bandits and local warlords took advantage of the momentum of the tomb robbery in Bottle Mountain, and used torture to force the old monk guarding the tower, and learned that there was a mausoleum buried under the Fengming Ancient Tower, which may be a monk who died with the general of the Yuan Dynasty in Bottle Mountain.

The group of thieves got the information, immediately blew up the ancient tower, and really found several thousand catties of stone doors under the base of the tower, but there were not too many treasures in addition to the golden body of the monk, and there was also an incident of the corpse Tudan, someone ignited the explosives in the chaos, the dead were not counted, the people said that they destroyed the ancient tower, and they couldn't stop the corpse king in the mountain.

Chen Blind Man was furious when he heard the news, and the opportunity for the thieves to miss the mountain group became the fulfillment of those unpopular thieves, and he couldn't help but be annoyed, thinking about making a big move to regain his prestige.

It coincides with the fifteenth day of March of the lunar calendar, it is just the day when the old man Guan sharpens the big knife, there must be an annual reward and punishment ceremony, the ringing horses of the incense from all walks of life in Changsheng Mountain, all of them have to come to gather from all over the world on this day, and the incense hall is opened in the Xiangyin Wusheng Temple, and the statue of the god is offered, and the leaders of the thieves and horses are summoned, and seven or eight hundred people are all gathered in front of the hall.

Every year on March 15, there is no rain, often unhappy, this day is the same, only to see the sky "cloudy, drizzle like sorrow", deep in the dark clouds, faint thunder rolling, although the hall is wide, can only accommodate more than 100 people, the rest of the hundreds of people have to stand in the rain, the new defeat is not comparable to previous years, the atmosphere is particularly solemn, nearly 1,000 people are silent.

First of all, the thief Chen came out blindly, led the crowd to knock the Guan Gong knife, and then burned incense and prayed in front of the god's seat, the green forest road is different from the ordinary incense, the thief rings the horse and burns incense, according to the ancient practice to burn three and a half, which has many allusions to "advocating thieves and righteousness", implying the righteousness of three and a half.

The first is to burn to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Sheep Horn Decline and Zuo Botao, when these two people went to the Chu State together, to the halfway lack of food and clothing, only enough for one person to maintain, Zuo Botao in order to make the Sheep Horn Mourning smoothly arrived in the Chu State, he committed suicide, left the clothes and food to his friends, sacrificed his life to help the Sheep Horn decline to achieve meritorious deeds, the style of the ancients, so far moving.

The remaining two handfuls of incense, respectively, were burned to Taoyuan to form a righteous Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Shuibo Liangshan one hundred and eight generals, they have both the "righteousness" of brothers, and the "loyalty" of monarchs and ministers, plus the previous sheep, Zuo two, are all unwilling to die against each other, passed on as a beautiful talk, as far as possible to make future generations bow and worship, enjoy the whole incense.

And the last "half a handful of incense" is burned to the heroes of Wagang Village, why can't the heroes of Wagang receive all the incense? It turned out that during the Sui and Tang dynasties, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had no way, the world was in turmoil, and the thirty-six friends of Jiajialou rebelled, gathered in Wagangzhai, picked the banner, and wanted to do the right thing for the heavens, crusade against injustice, and were once famous all over the world, but later this group of people obeyed Li Tang according to the will of heaven, only Shan Xiongxin would rather die than surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and lost his life.

Burning incense and worshipping the Holy Spirit of Shinto, is the annual reward of the thieves of the unloading of the mountains, among which there are traitors and criminals, but also one by one, the so-called "thieves also have the way", the horse thief is the true color of Liangshan, the official forced the people to rebel, the grass is the coward, or the Huaicai is not encountered, and it is not enough to be ashamed of the temporary shelter in this green forest, but the ringing horse also has the rules of the ringing horse, who violates the taboo who is seeking his own death, and the punishment in the Changsheng Mountain is extremely harsh.

Chen Blind ordered the deacon in charge of the punishment to step forward and reiterate the precepts of Changsheng Mountain, and the deacon laid out all kinds of torture instruments on the incense case in front of the hall in advance, and then recited in public: "Pick up the ashes and forget the loyalty, break your feet and break your hands to dig a pit and bury it; The following offenders disobeyed the order, and eighty red sticks were charred; greedy for water and ventilation, it is difficult to forgive three knives and six holes; If you are careless in your words, you will chew the mountain name by yourself, and you will chew it yourself ......"

Waiting for the deacon to read one by one, Chen Blind beckoned, someone tied up seven or eight thieves to the front of the hall, these people were all the cowards who escaped from the battle with the treasures when the Bottle Mountain landslide was in the previous bottle, together with the deserters of the warlord army, and later they were all captured.

I only heard the blind man Chen ask the deacon: "According to the rules of my Changsheng Mountain, how should the escapees be sent out if they swallow water in battle and return to escape?" ”

The deacon replied, "This is a great transgression, and it is not forgivable that it should be decapitated under the white blade, and that it should not be buried with a whole body after death." The seven or eight bound thieves listened to every word clearly, and their faces were like ashes, and when the matter came, they couldn't complain about others, so they had to close their eyes and wait for death, and the rest of the thieves also looked at themselves in front of the hall.

But Chen Blind said: "The ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain has broken many of our brothers, this is my indecision, and I failed to plan well in advance, if it should be a white blade over the neck and head of the body according to the custom, I should behead my head first, although these brothers have had, but the crime is not to death, just turn off the lamp and punish it." ”

The group of thieves admired the thief's frank confession of his own mind, and quickly dissuaded, saying that the matter of Bottle Mountain is the will of God, and it should be when I Changshengshan has this setback, not human power can be reversed, the fault is not one person, Changshengshan must not be leaderless, and in the future, I will expect the helmsman to take everyone to make a comeback.

Chen Blind was reluctant to give himself more than 100 catties, pretending to be looking for death and life, and was persuaded by everyone, so he quickly got off the donkey, and also took the opportunity to spare the thieves, and ordered them to follow him to make a contribution.

Chen Blind walked to the front of the hall, in front of the group of thieves and said loudly: Now the world is declining, it is the autumn of heroes and heroes, our generation unloaded the mountains and horses 100,000 people, since the defeat of the Han Dynasty Red Eyebrows, scattered in all directions, roaring in the mountains and forests, so "hidden in the mountains, tracking the rivers and lakes" for a long time, although only do some "inverted fighting for profit, dirty and righteous" deeds, but there are often big schemes, throughout the situation in the world, it is already turbulent in the four seas, people's minds have changed, how can our generation not move a thought? "Those who know the times can be called handsome, and those who know the world should be heroes", on this good occasion, we and other heroes are united in their ambitions, heroes are concentric, and they will be able to draw a waist of gold and purple, and leave a name in Qing history, and it is not in vain to live a lifetime, grass and trees in autumn.

The group of thieves are all reckless, and after listening to Chen Blind's very inflammatory words, they immediately said yes, but now the warlords in the north are powerful, they are all foreign guns and artillery, extremely sharp, although there are several warlords in Changsheng Mountain, but they are difficult to compete with them, without a large number of advanced arms, it will definitely not be possible.

Chen blind man said that the group of thieves in Jieling is always to rob the tomb for profit, in ancient times, any emperor mausoleum, it took most of the wealth of the world at that time, as long as he stole an intact imperial mausoleum, or the tomb of the great princes, the gold jewelry jade, and even the treasures of ancient times, I am afraid that tens of thousands of months are also inexhaustible, a few days ago happened to be inferred, after the dragon mountain on the bank of the Cangjiang River, there is a "tomb of the king", the tomb is poor and luxurious, most of it is not a thing in the world, if you can steal this tomb, the big thing will be done, the treasure in the tomb, the tenth generation is also inexhaustible.

But after all, Yunnan is high and the road is far away, and it is not an overnight achievement to go to the mountains and rivers, and it is a wild place far away from the sphere of influence of Changsheng Mountain, and all kinds of extremely difficult and dangerous places are needless to say, but it is also an opportunity to make a name for themselves and make a fortune.

Chen Blind since the frustration in the bottle mountain, feel that there are many people but not easy to succeed, this time as long as you bring dozens of people to Yunnan, in case of theft can not offer the ancient tomb of the king, will not lose too many people, otherwise a thousand people will die, even if others do not say anything, he has no face to be a helmsman again, he has an idea in his mind, and the voice in front of the hall has calmed down a little, then he said to lay yellow paper, please come from the ancient "red rooster" mantra, so as to decide who goes and who does not go.

The group of thieves immediately agreed, this is a move to resign yourself to fate, don't let you wander half-heartedly, and the guilty and meritorious service will naturally go, and the rest of the red roosters have nothing to say.

The so-called green forest is the underworld, and the opening of the incense meeting is inseparable from the actions of "cutting off the head of the chicken, burning yellow paper, and gambling and vowing", and "passing the red chicken" is also one of the "chicken cutting orders", but it is not a righteous gambling curse, but to select the so-called "tomb robbery death squad".

How do you name "Red Rooster"? I saw that in the haze of rain and fog, the lights and candles in the temple of Emperor Guan were burning, first please come out of the "writing", the names of the group of thieves in Jieling, all written on a huge yellow paper, because there are too many people, after writing a look, the paper is densely packed with almost no gaps, follow the robbers to go to Yunnan Shalong Mountain to rob the tomb helper, will be selected from this list, how many people to go, who goes? All at the mercy of God.

Another chicken deacon chose a big rooster that was vigorous and fresh, and sang "Praise for Chicken Cutting" in front of everyone, which was nothing more than those "This chicken is originally in the sky, what did it do in the lower world?" Mortals want it to be useless, and the disciple will use it to cut the red rooster ......", after singing the praise, the deacon pulled out a bright knife and knelt on the ground on one knee to the blind man: "Dare to ask the helm handle, cut this phoenix chicken today, is it a literary cut or a military cut?" ”

Chen Blind Man was originally sitting upright in the hall, but at this time he got up and saluted the phoenix chicken, and said to the deacon: "According to the old practice of red eyebrows, this is the name of the red rooster, neither literary nor martial arts, it depends on the eloquence of the brothers." ”

The deacon received the "eloquence" order, put the frost blade in his mouth, lifted the big rooster in front of his eyes, shook his head, and the sharp blade in his mouth cut the neck of the chicken, and then the deacon opened his mouth to let go of the knife, and shouted, "It's too red!" "Grabbed the golden rooster that was cut open with both hands, and swept it sideways from west to east from the top of the yellow paper with names written on the incense table, and the chicken blood just gushed out, and the blood was poured on the yellow paper bit by bit.

All the names of the people on the list paper who were spotted with chicken blood, even if they were "red", these people had to go to Yunnan with Chen Blind, and after counting more than 30 people, they immediately announced and read out their names and surnames.

The thieves who did not enter the red name, all hugged their fists to congratulate the people who committed the red, and they toasted the wine, and the name of the person must drink three bowls of blood wine to suppress the shock, the wine is dry, the blood is the blood of the golden rooster, the wine is Du Kang wine, and the blood wine is regarded as eliminating the evil spirit of the big red on the "roll call", and the thief gives each person a sum of money on the spot to settle the old and young in the family, which is called "life money".
