Chapter 64: The Thousand-Year Growing Grass
Chapter 64: The Thousand-Year Growing Grass
Things have developed to this point, it has long been beyond the scope of Sun Jiuye's imagination and prediction, and he can't imagine that what he did was calculated by the Earth Immortal Fengshi Gu before his death, and he couldn't help but be discouraged, thinking that the corpse fairy in the tomb would inevitably escape from the mountain, and it would lead to a large-scale corpse plague, no matter how many people died in the disaster, the final evil karma was caused by him, and he was ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan, and his mental state almost collapsed.
Who knows that in the end, the peaks and loops at the end of the mountain and water turn, this may be where God has eyes, the so-called "praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind", not only the group of people who entered the mountain to fight, but even the evil deeds of the guardians of the "Wuyang King Tomb" in ancient times, it can be said that the Guanshan Taibao and the "touch" Jin Xiaowei are not as deep and vicious as the witch remnants who guard the secret of the "Coffin Mountain", and it makes people "hairy" when you think about it.
The heavenly omen deduced by the prisoners before they died, so that the "Coffin Mountain" was finally burned by thunder and fire after leaving the ground, and the dead people in the "Dixian Village" were burned to the point that there were no ashes left, as if all this was already doomed in the dark, and all the wishful thinking in the world was just a passing cloud.
Sun Jiuye fell from the cliff at that time, fell into the pile of dead people in the "coffin mountain", luckily did not hit the stone in the darkness and fell to pieces, and then the thunder and lightning in the canyon, the "Dixian Village" fell into a fire, "non-human and non-ghost" Sun Jiuye was able to avoid the thunderbolt and lightning, and was rescued by the Bashan ape who came to seek the sound, and escaped far away from the cliff in the pouring rain.
Then he mentioned in the letter, "Guixu Bronze Mirror" is an ancient treasure, must not be lost because of the dissipation of copper gas, in a courtyard in Beijing's Xicheng, there is a long abandoned dry well, there are some things hidden in it, you can find the location according to the map drawn in the letter to excavate, and then this thing and the "bronze ancient mirror" mirror back of the hexagram to complement it, maybe you can find the long-lost "Zhou Tian old hexagram".
Sun Jiuye was born in a family, although his ancestors did not learn enough of the craftsmanship of the "Daming Guanshan Taibao", but he also knew all kinds of "worm and fish seals, snail star ancient talismans" since he was a child, and after being released from the orchard ditch labor reform farm, he resumed his work, and studied the dragon bone book of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties all the year round, and in recent years, he has been exposed to a large number of bone armor and inscriptions on bronzes, but his mind has not been on work, and because he can't handle interpersonal relationships, Sun Jiuye has been suppressed by some authoritative figures all year round, and has never had a chance to get ahead.
Therefore, although Sun Jiuye has achieved some results, he has not reported it for a long time, but secretly hid it to study, through the accumulation of time, it is already a considerable scale, the so-called "Zhou Tian old hexagram" is "the hub of yin and yang, the trajectory of heaven and earth", by no means with sporadic hexagrams and ancient seals, can be easily and comprehensively cracked.
Since getting the "Bronze Mirror of Guiru", Sun Jiuye found that the "Bronze Hexagram" on the back of the ancient mirror is endless, if it can be timed, combined with the results of his research on Zhou Tian's old hexagram, maybe the extinct "Zhou Tian Hexagram" can be reproduced in the world.
But compared to the "Zhou Tian old hexagram" that has been lost for thousands of years, Sun Jiuye has more important things to do, the twelve-year gopher year is approaching, and the matter of "the ancient tomb of Dixian Village" is urgent, and he can't afford to spend another seven or eight years studying the sixteen-character heavenly hexagram, and at that time he planned to take the ancient mirror into the tomb to suppress the corpse, so he had to bury the research materials and the hexagrams and hexagrams he collected in the tunnel at the bottom of the dry well.
In 1971, the whole country prepared for war and prepared for famine, and extensively carried out the campaign of "digging deep holes and accumulating grain", at that time, Beijing also expanded the underground civil air defense project, and the dry well that hid things was through a section of underground tunnels that had been closed and abandoned, Sun Jiuye drew a simple map in the letter, indicating the location and each entrance, he hoped that we could go back to Beijing to dig things out, and if there was a chance in the future, perhaps we could master the whole "Zhou Tian Lao Hexagram", which was considered a kind of compensation and reward for him.
Later, he said in the letter that the same letter sent a few things, one is the lost "bronze dragon talisman" in the coffin gorge, and the "ancient tomb of Dixian Village" was destroyed by lightning fire, which may be that the sea qi in the dragon talisman is too strong, or it may be related to the too large changes in the feng shui qi of the coffin mountain Pangu vein, but in any case, the two talismans, one mirror and three "bronze ancient artifacts of returning to the ruins" brought from Beijing were finally intact.
In addition, the "Coffin Mountain" is the forbidden place for witches and evil spirits in ancient times, in which the atmosphere of decay is particularly heavy, and the "Tomb of the Black Sheep King" at the vein of the corpse also belongs to this category, although there is a gas mask to protect, it is difficult to ensure that it is comprehensive, and the skin of "naked" and "exposed" will also be contaminated with the smell of obscurity and corruption, and even some of the extremely corrupt groundwater contains a substance that becomes "corpse ink", which is inhaled into the body or stained on the body, because the "corpse ink" contains mercury, arsenic, corpse "liquid", and a variety of corrupt substances, which are very powerful and highly toxic thingsIn addition, the internal organs of the corpse are decomposed and mixed with hair, and when it touches the skin of a living person, it will immediately penetrate, and the middle person does not feel any feeling, and does not feel pain or itching, because the poison is too strong, and the skin and flesh have been numb and unconscious. Even if there is very little corpse ink on it, it has penetrated into the heart and brain, and it is not easy to treat, if it is hung with herbal medicine, it can last for a year at most, and eventually it will vomit black blood and die.
Therefore, black bruises will appear on everyone's body one after another, and then they will vomit blood and cough up black phlegm, although it is not fatal, but after a long time, it will still leave a root in the body that is difficult to pull out.
Therefore, the same letter sent a few "Nine Dead Soul Grass", the scientific name is Curly Cypress, this thing is specially born in the "deep mountains and poor valleys" place, when the water and soil nutrients are insufficient, it will wither and fake death, the metabolism of all cells is stopped, but soon after it can be reborn, so it is named "Nine Dead Soul Grass", which is also called "immortal grass" or "millennium grass" in the folk, and can be used as a gold sore "medicine" for external use, and can be used internally to dissolve the stasis and poison, and dissolve the gloomy and rotten gas that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
To the county town of Chinese medicine "medicine" shop, you can buy phlegm crocodile jerky and other Chinese "medicine", the whole plant of "longevity grass" incinerated into ashes, mixed after taking for three consecutive days, can be completely cured, the "coffin gorge" cliff grew many of this millennium long-lived grass, all are nine whiskers and nine leaves, different from the ordinary "curly cypress", but now it is not easy to see, although these grass "medicine" is few, but enough for five or six people to take.
Sun Jiuye said at the end of the letter, now we have leveled each other's previous accounts, I have no worries about the outside world, and the bone needle piercing the back of the head will be scattered, after death I am afraid that even the ghost can not do, now there is not much time left, after burying the body of my father and brother, I plan to stay in the "coffin gorge" and wait for death, never want to see outsiders again, when you see this letter, I may have cold bones, buried in a secret place by the Bashan ape, this "coffin gorge" is full of lofty mountains, cliffs and horizons, Even if he hides an army of more than 100,000 people, there will be no trace of him, so don't go into the mountains to find me in vain, and please don't reveal my information to anyone.
We have read this letter sent by Bashan Ape, and our hearts are mostly half-believing and half-believing, since the experience of the "Ancient Tomb of Dixian Village" incident, everyone's view of Sun Jiuye has subverted the "sex" change, I used to think that this person, is just a "selfish, old-fashioned and stubborn, 'sexual' character extreme, not close to human feelings" paleographic experts, but in hindsight, this Sun Lao Jiu not only has a special background, but also very good at hiding himself, is a very smart character, as the so-called "elephant is invisible, wise and foolish", I don't know if it is related to his ancestor being "Guanshan Taibao", his actions are completely traceable, and the gods can't guess him.
We are conceited and well-informed, but we are all in his way, before entering the "coffin mountain", no one has been able to see through his disguise, just as the thick black science mentioned that "the heart is black and there is no 'color', the face is thick and invisible", who can see through him with the naked eye? This is the genius of Sun Jiuye that ordinary people can't match.
If they are all like Uncle Hong Kong Nongming, although they seem to be shrewd and cunning, their realm is too low, and they let people know that they are not trustworthy before they speak, so who still believes him? But anyone who understands some accidents can't be blinded by Uncle Ming's passer-by, I think compared with the hidden Sun Jiuye, Uncle Ming can be regarded as a real person.
She said that the Nine Dead Soul Grass that grows in the "Coffin Gorge" is almost extinct, these longevity grasses are extremely rare, and they can indeed dissolve the rot, I still don't feel at ease, and I found an old Chinese medicine doctor in the county, and asked the reason of the "medicine" prescription that there is no deviation, so I took it according to the law.
Within a few days, everyone's health has improved, and they discussed the future behavior, and they felt that they should still try to find Sun Jiuye, but the "Coffin Gorge" terrain is complex, the terrain is steep and deep, the canyon is ethereal all year round, and there are countless kinds of hanging coffins hidden in the canyon.
We went into the mountains again to look for him, and sure enough, to no avail, seeing that it was impossible to find Sun Jiuye, who was hiding in the "Coffin Gorge" and waiting for death alone, everyone had no choice but to prepare to return to Beijing.
Before leaving, dinner in the county, I and the fat man began to pack some bags, although this time into the mountain did not find the ancient corpse Danding, but it is not nothing, first of all, from the "Dixian Village" to bring out a few pictures, are the Guanshan Taibao seal master ancient hand-painted handwriting, although this person is not known for pen and ink Danqing, but "Guanshan Xiang Mansion Map" and other paintings, but are rare strokes and themes in the past dynasties, you can get the glaze factory to ask "Qiao Erye" to sell a price.
In addition, there is a fat man from the "Dixian Village" Yin Mansion Ancient Tomb, pick up a gold box that leaks out, at that time was in the ancient tomb to see a female corpse carried by the Golden Bull, holding such a Ming Vessel Box in his arms, the tomb is Guanshan Taibao moved from the outside world to the "Dixian Village", the mechanism of the "Golden Bull Carrying Corpse" is designed very ingeniously, once a tomb robber breaks into the main room, it will touch the hidden pin of the Golden Bull, under the expansion of the machine, it will immediately make the Golden Bull slam the tomb wall flap, with the remains of the tomb owner escaped into the back room.
We can only judge that this "Golden Bull Tomb" was built in the Ming Dynasty, but we cannot confirm who the tomb owner's surname is, what is the origin, and why there is such an elaborate structure of the ancient tomb.
The fat man copied a bright weapon in his hand out of the conventional practice of "thieves do not go empty", but then encountered all kinds of dangers, he had already forgotten about it and went to the sea of the East, and when he was packing up, he remembered it, and quickly took it out and wanted to open it to see what was inside.
The gold box is exquisite, and the tomb owner is a woman, so we guess that most of the gold and silver jewelry that accompanies the burial, or there will be pearl gems such as jade bracelets, and the tomb is ingenious in the mechanism, and the identity of the tomb owner must be extraordinary.
After my sister opened the silver lock, we looked at the box together, and saw the contents clearly, which was half an accident and half disappointed, the gold box was not half a piece of pearl and gold and silver, but a few thick old books, the pages were mostly dark yellow "color", I opened it and looked at it, not like a scripture book, the book is full of strange "illustrations", the text annotation is deep and difficult to understand, it is like a book from heaven.
But as the saying goes, "the Book of Heaven has no words", because the real "Book of Heaven" is full of hexagrams, and it looks like tadpoles, insects, and fish-like mysterious symbols.
There is a saying that "interlaced lines are like mountains", the first time I saw this kind of ancient book, I didn't dare to be easily sure, but fortunately, my sister learned the skills of the honeycomb mountain, I asked her to take a good look, can she understand what is recorded in this book.
My sister flipped through a few pages, but also the face of the "dew" surprised "color", this set of ancient books seems to be the "Wuhou Tibetan Soldier Map", "Honeycomb Mountain" since ancient times there are many skilled craftsmen, specializing in all kinds of hidden weapon organs, although the "Wuhou Tibetan Soldier Map" is the descendants entrusted with the name of "Zhuge Wuhou", the first to see in the Tang and Song dynasties, but the various "pins and machines" recorded in it are extremely mysterious and wonderful, compared with the legendary "wooden ox and flowing horse" in the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, it is also more than that.
"Wuhou Tibetan Soldier Map" is the treasure of the ancient industry of "Honeycomb Mountain", which can be said to be equivalent to "touching" Jin Xiaowei's "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", the bee master box craftsmen of the past dynasties regard this set of atlas as a unique job at the bottom of the box, but unfortunately it has been lost for a long time.
Most of the masters pass on their apprentices, all of them are "cats teach tigers", leaving a life-saving skill on the tree is not passed on, plus what "pass on the male but not the female, pass the long and not the young" and other rules, resulting in the more and more the art of the more and more thin, often green and yellow, and even the incense cut off.
In the past century, all kinds of science and technology in the world are changing with each passing day, China's traditional industry will inevitably appear a little "up and down", the loss of things in the early years is too serious, and in modern times, the only surviving inheritance can not be perfected, and it is still continuing to lose, "Honeycomb Mountain" box craftsman's secret weapon craftsmanship is an example, so "Wuhou Tibetan Soldier Map" is too difficult for my sister, she can't understand much at all.
As soon as the fat man saw that the "Ming Weapon" contained in the gold box was a few broken books, he immediately lost interest, and only left the box, planning to take it to Panjiayuan to sell, so he asked me how to dispose of the remaining atlases?
I said that in fact, "Wuhou Tibetan Soldier Map" is by no means an ordinary thing, but laymen can't understand it at all, the so-called "things have their own owners", this thing falls into the hands of ordinary people and belongs to the violent abandonment of heavenly things, let's go into the coffin gorge to find Dixian Village, my sister has helped us a lot, it is better to give "Wuhou Tibetan Soldier Map" to Li Lao Shopkeeper, when it is to return him a favor, maybe Li Lao Shopkeeper can also know the origin of the Tibetan Soldier Map, we can also follow the long point of knowledge.
The fat man readily agreed, he said that this thing is idle in our hands, and when it is taken to the grocery store of the shopkeeper Li, we can replace it with three or five "golden steel umbrellas", even if we don't fight in the future, we can poke it on the beach by the sea in California and use it as a parasol, maybe we can guide the "tide" flow in the United States and even the world.
While talking, Shirley Yang came to discuss with me again, now Duo Ling's life is on the verge of death, but everyone is in the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" to pounce, it is better to take a detour to Hunan to find the fortune teller Chen Blind, he is the leader of the group of thieves in the original unloading of the mountains, and his experience is extraordinary, and he can only ask him to help think of a way.
I thought to myself, that Chen blind man was the ringing horse thief who ruled the southern seven and north 613 provinces, it was really a character who wanted the wind to get the wind and the rain, until the Xiangxi Bottle Mountain tomb robbery began, I don't know what to memorize, or which way the fierce god collided, not only did not make a comeback, but suffered a succession of setbacks, suffered a lot of big losses, and then he took dozens of his subordinates to Yunnan to steal the "Tomb of the King", who wanted to go to Yunnan to steal the "Tomb of the King", who wanted to go to the road is extremely unsmooth, before the Shalong Mountain broke a lot of hands, and the rest of the people also confessed in the mountains, Only one of him escaped by luck, and he broke a pair of tricks and lived incognito to this day.
But Chen Blind was very familiar with the "Mausoleum Tree" back then, and his subordinates had many ears and eyes, and knew a lot of information about ancient tombs in various places, and even the Huangpizi Tomb in the Northeast that few people in the Guannei knew, he knew something, and we now had to let him search his intestines and scrape his stomach to recall the memories - which ancient tomb may still have "Danding Strange Weapons" buried in the barren tomb.
Xiangyin, where he is now located, used to be the old nest of the "Changsheng Mountain" unloading mountains and ringing horses, according to Chen Blind, according to the usual group of thieves to make a profit from the tombs and the clues of the tombs of the past dynasties in various places, we must make a book and note in detail, if we are lucky, maybe we can find out the relevant information left before the liberation, it is like our "chaos" without a goal to "chaos" and "chaos" to find.
Although this matter may not be really feasible, but now no one has a better way, and they made up their minds right now to go straight to Hunan, but they didn't expect that at this moment, bad news came that Duo Ling had died in the United States.
