Chapter 47: Avoid Fire

The ancient tomb is a place of the underworld, and the candle is a symbol of the lifeline, as the saying goes, it is not a ghost who does not blow out the lamp, and touching the golden captain is the most taboo thing to blow the lamp. The fat man was furious, slapped his mountaineering helmet, and his tactics of turning off suddenly lit up, and then raised his hand to grab Sun Jiuye and shouted: "Sun Laojiu, you are tired of living, dare to blow the fat man's lamp?" I don't ask when I go out - what happened to the zongzi that blew out the fat man's candle last time! ”

Sun Jiuye said with a nervous expression: "Wang Fatty, you are tired of being alive, you can't light candles in Dixian Village!"

I stopped the fat man and said to Sun Jiuye, "Didn't you let you light the candle before?" Why did you suddenly change your hexagram and blow out the lamp of life, where is your heart? What is the intent? Sun Jiuye first shook his head, then nodded immediately, he said: "It was my idea to light candles, but I was too anxious today, as if I was blinded by lard, and I always ignored a very important thing." Ever since I entered this coffin, I felt that something was wrong around me, it was so abnormal, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, and it wasn't until I lit the candle just now that I suddenly remembered. ”

Shirle Yang asked, "Professor Sun, what are the anomalies you mean...... Candles? Sun Jiuye nodded and said: "That's right, it seems that Miss Yang, you have also noticed that the layout of the Coffin Mountain Dixian Village is consistent with Qingxi Ancient Town everywhere, and every house and courtyard is no different from the world, but there is a very hidden difference, there are no candles and lampstands, lamp oil, and even firewood in the kitchen stove in all the houses here." ”

I didn't immediately understand the meaning of Sun Jiuye's words, and said strangely: "Dixian Village has two layers of yin and yang, and there are no candles and lamps in the yang house, what does this mean?" Could it be that the group of Guanshan Taibao are all rats who have become essences - the darker the underground, the clearer they can see? ”

Sun Jiuye said: "Although there are no lamps and candles, there is a kind of yang lamp in the Tibetan Bone Building and in the courtyards of various houses. Positive pulp is an ore that can emit light, and people in those days should have used mineral light sources for lighting. According to the ancestors, there has never been a custom of using yang pith to light up in Qingxi Ancient Town, and it is likely that there is some kind of taboo in Dixian Village, where candles cannot be lit on coffins. ”

Shirley Yang said: "One of the several pictures left by Feng Shigu is called "Candle Walking", which depicts many people entering the tomb with lamps and candles, and if there is a forbidden fire and taboo candles on the coffin, why do those people light candles in the tomb? ”

When I heard this, my heart sank, and I faintly felt that the people who hid in Dixian Village back then were all candles, which was an old custom of martyrs holding candles and dying, and they all went to the tomb to be buried, how did they die after entering the curtain?

Sun Jiuye asked us to take out the "Candle Night Walking Map", he looked at it again, and he was even more convinced: "You see, the picture is very clear, these martyrs who entered the tomb, all those who walked on the underground stone steps, only had lit candles and torches in their hands; And the people in front of the tomb on the high place had their lamps and candles extinguished. ”

I asked Sun Jiuye: "Even if there is indeed a custom of not moving candles on the coffin, I don't know what will happen if the candles are lit." I don't think there's anything unusual in the neighborhood, so let's not scare ourselves. ”

The fat man and I disagreed, and said to him, "You have caused any trouble, and besides, the trouble you are facing now is still small?" If there are more lice, you don't have to bite, if you have more debts, you don't have to worry, there is no big deal except for death, our gang is specialized in touching gold and fighting the business, what is the big deal about lighting a candle? ”

Shirley Yang said: "Old Hu, don't take it lightly, let Professor Sun finish his words first." If a candle is lit, what happens inside the coffin? ”

Sun Jiuye said: "The pattern of Dixian Village is shaped like a fireless lampstand, I know a little bit about ancient feng shui, this should be a layout that is afraid of fire." ”

All I have learned in my life is from the sixteen-character feng shui of the Jin Xiaowei, which is a Qingwu feng shui with ancient feng shui as the muscles and bones, and the secret art of the Jiangxi situation sect as the flesh and blood; The art of viewing the mountain of the Taibao, its root is from the oracle bone in the coffin in the coffin gorge, is a branch of ancient feng shui, although it comes from the same vein as the Qingwu feng shui, but there are also many differences, so I don't know much about the fire taboo, just look at the outline of the Dixian Village in the "Coffin Mountain Xiang Zhai Map", it is indeed like a fireless copper lamp.

I only heard Sun Jiuye say: "Feng Shui things are only one of them. Second, the pattern of Dixian Village and Qingxi Ancient Town at the end of the Ming Dynasty is similar, Feng's grace by the emperor was in the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and constantly expanded the ancestral house, so the situation of Qingxi Ancient Town is based on that period, and later generations experienced the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, knowing that after liberation, there was not much change. I have never thought carefully about why Qingxi Town made a pattern of avoiding fire and extinguishing candles, or I didn't think of that layer at all, if I think about it deeply, it must be related to the design of the Guanshan Feng family in the Yongle period to destroy the hair mound seal and touch the gold talisman. ”

The titles of the ancient military establishment are similar to those of modern times, and the military ranks of the modern army include general, colonel, captain, and sergeant, each of which is divided into small, medium, superior, and large, such as major general, lieutenant general, and general. In ancient times, the general belonged to the senior officer, the lieutenant belonged to the middle-level officer, Cao Cao's tomb robbery troops, headed by the Faqiu Zhonglang General, also known as the heavenly official, under which there was a touch of gold school captain, and with the seal as a token, so it left the seal of the hair, touch the gold talisman. After the end of the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the generation of people who made Qiu Yin touched gold flowed into the people, no longer doing official and thief work, and single-mindedly took materials to help the poor people in the world.

Chinese has paid attention to the name since ancient times, the so-called name is not right, the words are not good, so the mound, touch the gold set of the name of the official family has been used for thousands of years, the engraved with the "heavenly official blessing, no taboo" eight words of the hair mound seal, a level through the mountains to touch the gold of the ancient payment, are passed down from generation to generation of token vouchers, a total of nine pay a seal.

Because the technique of touching the gold school captain is from "Zhou Yi". "Zhou Yi" is also the ancestor of the group of scriptures, good at a "look" word to identify the heavenly stars and veins, is the most traditional one in the inverted bucket line, so the folk have always had seventy-two lines of gold for the king of the saying. The leader of the Jinxiao Captain was the Faqiu Heavenly Official, but in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, in order to seek the stability of the imperial tomb, the royal family designed a trick by the Guanshan Taibao and destroyed the Faqiu seal and six gold talismans.

Maybe it's because the way of heaven is tolerant, and the technique of not touching gold and fighting has been cut off since then, and in the end, there are still three gold touching talismans missing. There is a way that one day of the enemy, the trouble of eternity, the Guanshan Feng family is worried that this matter will be exposed, sooner or later there will be a comeback of the Jin school captain to retaliate, especially the ancestral graves of the Feng family are buried in the coffin gorge, so thinking about it, it is difficult to sleep and eat all the time, but this matter did not go out of the way in the end, and then gradually relieved.

Sun Jiuye said, now that I think about it, the most feared thing about Guanshan Taibao has always been to touch the golden captain, the architectural layout of Dixian Village is in line with the principle of nine palaces and eight gates, and its outline has the image of jealousy.

I said to Sun Jiuye: "I think you are a little overly sensitive, what grievances do you have in the past between Captain Jin and the Guanshan Feng family, it is all the dust of history, there is no need to break the old accounts, just this account between us and you is already unsettled." Now let's not think about superfluous, it's better to think about digging out the Earth Immortal Sealing Master Gu from the coffin mountain first. ”

Seeing that I didn't believe it, Sun Jiuye had to say, "I hope I'm too worried." You first look at the map to find out the route of action, I am flipping through this book "Viewing the Mountain Excavation Record", in the coffin in it, the big and small things in this immortal village are recorded in detail, maybe you can find something. ”

I also had this in mind, so I went to read the picture books left by Feng Shigu. The coffin mountain buried deep in the ground is a corpse vein, which only exists in the oldest feng shui legends, and the corpse vein of Qingwu feng shui is nameless and inexplicable, and it is difficult to say whether the earth immortal borrowed the corpse to practice the formation is true or false. But I discussed the matter in the tomb of the immortals with Shirly Yang, and we all felt that Feng Shi Gu was far-reaching, and the things he did were unpredictable.

As he was saying this, he heard the younger sister outside the window suddenly say: "There seems to be something moving in the yard-" At this time, the blood dance in the air was filled, but the mountain was still dark and indistinguishable, and any movement in the distance could only be heard in the ear. I walked to the window pane and listened, sure enough, there was something unusual, the sound was dense and mixed, but it was not in the courtyard, but from the vicinity of the coffin cliff outside Dixian Village, like a rolling tide, surging towards the side of the bone building.

The rest of the people also felt strange, there was no half of a living person in the coffin, how could there be such a sudden movement? It sounds like a lot of people, and it's not the sound of copper erosion creeping and rubbing like the Nine Deaths Horror Armor. Although the source is unknown, it must be a bad person, and some terrible things are about to pour into Dixian Village.

Sun Jiuye heard it clearly, and suddenly hurriedly turned the scroll forward two pages, stood up from the ground suddenly, and handed it over in a lost voice: "We have to find a place to hide quickly, this voice must be the coffin worm mentioned in the "Watching and Excavating Records"!" ”

This coffin mountain is full of the strangeness of creation, the Pangu vein in the mountain is shaped like a corpse, just like those hills that resemble a reclining Buddha, but there is no head lying flat in the coffin, no matter how you look at it, it is a fierce place with a severed head, but in fact, it is a strange vein that hides auspiciousness in the fierce It is strange that there is a dark spring flowing in the soil layer here, and the spring water smells like corpse blood. In the line of inverted buckets, the phenomenon of flowing clear water out of the coffin is called the coffin spring, and the spring in the tomb is a treasure place for hiding the wind and gathering water, so the coffin mountain is a wonderful place, it is exactly the same as the real coffin, since there is a turbid coffin like blood, then it is natural that there are coffin worms between the coffin walls.

The coffin worm, also known as the earworm, is the maggot that grows between the walls of the coffin and changes, the color is like pine bark, the body has meat wings, there are seven pairs of boiling teeth, and they are willing to gnaw and decay, the small one is like a grain of rice, but the largest, the palm size of a seven or eight-year-old child who can grow, most of the people who have inverted the bucket have seen this thing. But in those ordinary ancient tombs, even if there are many corpses in one scene, the number of coffins is relatively limited, so even if there are coffin worms, there are never too many.

However, in the record of "Viewing the Mountain Excavation Record", there are natural texture patterns on the stone wall of the coffin mountain, similar to the quaint ornamentation of climbing the dragon and the phoenix, and many wooden hanging coffins are hidden in these rock crevices, and the pits and valleys are only silk vines, mud moss, and corpses, which parasitize many coffin insects that gnaw on the mud moss and broken wood. Due to the large order of magnitude, it was difficult for the Guanshan Taibao to delete all of them, but fortunately, they did not leave the hanging coffin and were unhindered by the ancient tomb of Dixian Village.

But today is probably not an auspicious day for the zodiac, and there are all kinds of abnormal visions in the coffin mountain, and the surrounding Nine Death Horror Tomb Armor pierces through the rock formation and directly presses the wall of the hall, forcing out all the coffin insects hidden in the rock peak. At this moment, listening to the sound of cockworms crawling outside the building, I knew that there were thousands of coffin worms pouring into the Dixian Village from all directions.

Sun Jiuye said urgically: "The coffin worms are not like those corpse worms in the underground palace of the Black Sheep King, they can't even leave the bones and slag, we have to quickly find a place to hide." I know that you are all bold and ruthless people who don't care about life and death, but this girl is irrelevant, don't bother her to die with her. ”

The fat man said coldly: "Lao Hu, listen to what he said, what he said is too touching, it seems that we misunderstood before, it turns out that Sun Jiuye also has a red heart." ”

At this time, although I knew that the situation was extremely urgent, and being blocked in the house by thousands of coffin worms was the only way to die, but I couldn't take a step, and the wisdom of rash action made the situation worse, so I said to the fat man: "Based on what the Ninth Master said just now, I almost regarded him as my comrade." But in his heart, he was thinking: "All the houses in Dixian Village are the same as ordinary people's houses, they are not impregnable, how can there be any place where people can be buried to avoid disaster." ”

Sun Jiuye ignored the sarcasm of me and the fat man, hurriedly stuffed a few booklets of the ancient handwriting of the Feng Shi into his bag, pointed downstairs and said: There is a yin house under Dixian Village - there must be a tomb under this bone building, let's hide in the ground, not only can we avoid the coffin worm, but also go along the tomb to find the Dixian curtain, otherwise how can we get trapped in the building? ”

Shirley Yang stopped Sun Jiuye and said: "It is more dangerous in the tomb, I saw that there are many gaps in the tomb of the Yin Mansion in Dixian Village before, and the coffin insects are pervasive, so they may not be able to stop them.

I think Shirley Yang's words are very reasonable, the Yin houses in the coffin mountain are connected vertically and horizontally, and the ancient tombs of different dynasties are stacked on the ground, and the structure and building materials of the tombs are different, resulting in gaps and loopholes between the tombs.

Hearing the sound of insect feet crawling in the distance gradually approaching, it made people's hearts panic even more. I pondered it, the "Coffin Mountain Portrait House" depicts the terrain of the Coffin Mountain in detail, at the entrance of the fairy curtain, there are several metal rings around the mark, although there is no name in the picture, but it is located at the entrance of the tomb, in ancient times there is the concept of the heaven and the earth, the circle is life, the square is death, in the hexagram the arc implies the meaning of "life", it is reasonable to assume that these rings should be broken insects in front of the tomb, anti-theft things, push into them may be able to avoid the attack of the coffin insects, this is also a retreat for the advance, It's better than being stuck in a lonely house.

At this time, I didn't care if there was really an old practice of taboo fire in Dixian Village, so I immediately beckoned the fat man to work together, opened the shovel and dismantled a few wooden tables and chairs, and tore those strips of cloth and wrapped them on them, to light them as torches to repel insects.

Seeing this, Sun Jiuye was so anxious that his voice became hoarse, and he grabbed my arm and said hoarsely: "You can't light a fire, the wood in the courtyards of all the houses in Dixian Village is all old trees, and the fire is together, so you have to lure out the Nine Death Horror Armor in the bottom layer." ”
