Chapter 3: The Tomb Beast

Don't complain, let's go into the water and get a few fish back to grill and eat, otherwise don't want to survive tonight" I'm so hungry that my eyes are green, and no gold and silver sea are as good as a bowl of hot rice in my heart at the moment.

"You want to be in

I don't go into the water here, I'd rather eat Guanyin soil than go into the water from here, Xiaogang, it's getting dark, let's leave this place quickly", Lao Hu seemed to know something, and looked nervous to leave here.

"What's there here, look at your frightened appearance, it's really no different from a coward, you can be in the graveyard, even the dead man's coffin board is there for the people who are sleeping heavily," Yan Wenbin looked at Lao Hu and said.

"I don't want to eat Guanyin soil, or you wait, I'll go into the water to get fish, I think you are so hungry that you don't even have the strength to go into the water", Yan Wenbin remembered that when it was convenient for him, he couldn't buckle it, he was really afraid of eating Guanyin soil, although he was hungry, but people were uncomfortable.

"Xiao Gang, I'm not joking with you, you don't know that this place is very evil, when I was a child, my grandfather didn't let me come here, because a lot of people have drowned here,

Many people say that there are water ghosts here, and if someone goes into the water, the water ghosts who drown here will find a substitute and pull people into the water to drown" Lao Hu looked at Yan Wenbin, the little ancestor who didn't want to die, and really wanted to knock Yan Wenbin unconscious and resist.

Xiao Gang, if you go down, you won't be able to come up, don't you know how to use throwing knives? It's better for us to hunt birds and eat than to go down, and our lives matter.

Xiaogang, I beg you, hurry up and follow me back, we have to sacrifice to the river god here every year, I hope the river god can suppress those water ghosts and keep our Hujia Village peaceful."

And there are scary things down there, all of them have hideous faces, my grandfather said that things can't be touched, otherwise they will die", Hu Haitian heard that Yan Wenbin was going to go into the water from here to fish, so he begged his grandfather to leave here in the same tone.

What kind of thing is that, is it as scary as you say? It's okay if you don't say it, but if you say it, I'm going to go down" Yan Wenbin had originally given up on this place, but when he heard Hu Haitian say that, another speculation arose.

Generally, there are ancient tombs or places where treasures are buried, and folk ghost legends will be formed within a certain range to scare villagers not to approach.

"Xiao Gang, let's go", Lao Hu pulled Gang Wenbin and was about to leave, he didn't want Gang Wenbin to die in the water, he had to pull Gang Wenbin back today no matter what, otherwise Gang Wenbin might really not be able to come back if he went down.

"Old Hu is lying down", as soon as Yan Wenbin turned around, a bullet crossed his eyes, if he hadn't dodged in time, his head would have blossomed now.

"Damn", why haven't these bandits gone back yet", Yan Wenbin turned around and saw dozens of bandits rushing towards them with guns.

"Lao Hu, you can't be arrested by them, otherwise you will be escorted by Guang Sanye to dig the ground and bury (that is, rob the tomb), and if you don't get tired to death, you will die in the organ of the tomb, Yan Wenbin didn't say a word, and immediately turned around and ran.

Lao Hu also knew that in order to expand the personnel and buy equipment, Guang Sanye has been robbing the surrounding villages for a while now, in addition to robbing ancient tombs everywhere, and none of the people who were caught robbing the tombs could come back alive.

"What then? We can't beat these people" Lao Hu was already frightened, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do next.

Run", as soon as Yan Wenbin finished speaking, he pulled Lao Hu and jumped into the water together.

"Second master, what should I do"? A little bandit watched Gang Wenbin and they jumped into the water, and the second master gave an order to catch them alive, so many people didn't dare to shoot at the water.

"What should I do, cold salad, who the fuck shot just now, the third master said that these two people are not allowed to be killed, otherwise who the hell will take us to dig gold, there is no gold, when the little devil comes in, will you go to block the gun's hole? The man with a scar on his face said.

Although they fell into the grass, they are still Chinese, and the blood of the Chinese flows in their bodies, of course, they will not be in the same stream with the little devils, and help the abuse, although the little devils have not yet vigorously launched a war at that time, and they are in the time when the eight-nation alliance forces divide China, but the little devils have begun to map the terrain everywhere to make plans for the future.

Second master, I don't see clearly that they are the people that the third master wants", the person who fired the gun said tremblingly, afraid that the scar man would cut off his head in anger.

"Fuck you, wait until you see clearly that everyone is dead, fortunately you didn't kill the two of them, you go down and fish them out for Lao Tzu, if you can't see their people, Lao Tzu will skin your mother" The scar man said very angrily, if someone hadn't shot just now, Yan Wenbin was caught by him and brought back to the cottage, and the third master would definitely be rewarded.

Second master, you just spare me, they dare to go into the water, but I don't dare, there are water ghosts here, second master, you are also a person here, you know better than me how powerful it is, it's a big deal that I will fight a few more little Japanese devils in the future, second master, from now on, this little dog's life is the second master's."

"Although the little one knows that the second master doesn't look down on the little dog's life, but asks the second master to let go of the small one, even if the little one is a cow and a horse, he must repay the second master for not killing him today", the little bandit heard that he wanted him to go into the water, and immediately knelt on the ground in fright.

"What else can we do? can only wait, wait for them to come up", the scar man had no choice but to give up, the other party was not dead, and he couldn't take his brother's life.

"The third master said, you have to be entertained, Yan Wenbin's grandfather also saved the third master's life, even if the third master sees Yan Wenbin, he has to give three points, you don't have a brain, I really want to shoot you", of course the scar man knows the relationship between Yan Wenbin and Guang Sanye, but some things are not easy to say in person.

Lao Hu and they jumped into the water, in order to prevent the bandits from shooting on it, they all dived into the water, hoping to avoid the bullets, but they came down for a while, Lao Hu held in the water for a long time, his face turned the color of pig liver, if he didn't go up again, he would definitely be suffocated alive in the water.

Yan Wenbin looked at Hu Haitian's appearance, although he knew that he would definitely be discovered if he went up at this moment, but if he didn't go up now, he would die in the water, but Lao Hu couldn't wait for his hint, so he swam up first.

Just as Yan Wenbin was about to leave, he found that there was a stone sculpture in the shape of an animal at the bottom of the water not far away.

He swam over and saw that it was a very vicious humanoid stone statue, but he didn't know how long this stone statue had been here, and it had been hit a lot, causing it to be damaged in many places

, but the expression on the face of the stone statue was very clear, and even Yan Wenbin could feel the terrifying evil aura emanating from the stone statue.

Lao Hu appeared on the surface of the water and found that the sky had already opened and darkened, but those people had left, but after looking around for a long time, they did not find Yan Wenbin's figure.

"Xiao Gang, where have you been", Lao Hu said anxiously, he was now afraid that Yan Wenbin would be dragged by the water ghost and would not be able to go ashore.

"I'm behind you", I can't stand it, I can only get out of the water to breathe, rest assured, I can't die, Lao Hu, there is a baby below, let's get it out first, I'll tell you what a baby is in a while", after saying that, Yan Wenbin dived into the water again, and soon after, Yan Wenbin went ashore with a trouser belt in his hand and pulled out the stone statue in the water.

"What kind of treasure is this, it can be worth a little big yellow croaker", Lao Hu saw that Gang Wenbin was going to pull something out of the water, so he pulled it together, as if he had met a baby, very hard, but when he saw that it was a stone that was pulled out, Lao Hu's eyes stared at the stone statue for a long time and did not find the baby that Gang Wenbin said, so Lao Hu leaned over from the side, and was afraid that Gang Wenbin would swallow this treasure alone.

"Xiao Gang, what is this, is this thing valuable, I have seen this thing before, when we were a child, we bathed here, once I dived and found this thing, but the older generation did not let us touch such a thing, saying that this is very evil, but I don't know why the older generation did not let us touch it."

"Of course I know this thing, such a thing comes from the underground, that is, in the tomb, called the tomb beast", the old nonsense said that there are often sacrifices here, so many people think that this is a stone statue built by the predecessors to suppress the monsters in the river, so this thing can't be moved, but they don't know that such a thing comes from the ancient tomb.

"What is the tomb beast", Lao Hu didn't know what Yan Wenbin was talking about, let alone knowing this thing.

The tomb beast is a common burial artifact in ancient tombs, and it is also one of the unique utensils.

This kind of artifact is abstract in appearance, strange in conception, terrifying and grotesque in image, with a strong sense of mystery and a strong witchcraft mythology.

The tomb beast is a common monster in ancient tombs in China; There are animal faces, human faces, and antlers, which are a kind of dark weapons set up to suppress ghosts and protect the souls of the dead from intrusion.

According to the record of "Zhou Li", there is a monster called the elephant, which eats the liver and brain of the dead; There is also a kind of mythical beast called Fang Xiang, which has the ability to expel the elephant, so the family often makes the Fang Xiang clan stand on the side of the tomb to prevent the infestation of monsters, and also says that this kind of Fang Xiang's has four golden-colored clothes, covered with bear skin, wearing red clothes and black pants, riding Ma Yango, to the tomb to hit the four corners with Ge, driving Fang Liang and the elephant.

Fang Liang is also a demon that endangers the dead, and people use the power of Fang Xiang's clan to drive them away, so in ancient times, there was a custom of using tomb beasts, which evolved from the legend of "Fang Xiang's clan".

This tomb beast is a two-headed single, with a bent neck with its back to it, two human heads, giant eagle eyes, long tongue to the neck, especially those eyes, which make people look at it, as if they feel that their souls are going to be eaten by this tomb beast, and they have to look away from the eyes of this thing.

There is also a stone called the square seat under the tomb beast, the square seat is embossed out of some geometric squares and decorated with diamond-shaped patterns, cloud patterns, animal face patterns, huge antlers with twisted coils, symmetrical animal bodies and stable square bases constitute a mysterious atmosphere.

Generally, the soul beasts are at the door of the tomb, and the owner of the tomb is not disturbed, and the appearance of the tomb beast in this place can only indicate that there is an ancient tomb in the upper reaches or source of the river." Hearing Yan Wenbin say this, Lao Hu was like being beaten with chicken blood,

To find the tomb.

"Xiaogang, can you find it"? Lao Hu looked at Yan Wenbin excitedly and said

"Yes, but it will take a while, if you don't make a mistake, you can find it in three days", Yan Wenbin looked up at the sky, at this time the sun had set, and the burning clouds were all over most of the sky, indicating that the sun, moon and stars in the sky could be seen tonight.

It is said that the heavenly master looks at the stars, the earth master looks at the water mouth, the human teacher is the busiest, the compass is all over the ground, people like Gang Wenbin can judge the general location of the ancient tomb by looking at the sun, moon and stars, and they don't even need a Luoyang shovel.

"Xiao Gang, can I ask you a question"?

"Say", although Yan Wenbin simply replied with one word, but at this moment he was already confident.

"Are you the descendant of Captain Jin, my grandfather said that your family is a family of tomb robbers, that is, the descendant of Captain Jin and Captain Jinmen", Yan Wenbin smiled, he didn't expect Lao Hu to know how to touch Kinmen.

According to historical records, the school captain originated in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao, the leader of the Wei army, in order to make up for the lack of military salary, set up the military rank of Faqiu Zhonglang General and Captain Jin, specializing in robbing tombs to obtain wealth and supplement military use. The tomb robbery mainly relies on observing feng shui and distinguishing the weather, and takes the Book of Changes as the purpose to locate the acupuncture points of the ancient tomb.

"Lao Hu, don't you look like me, if I were Captain Jin, would I still be hungry?" Yan Wenbin sneered, not to mention touching Captain Jin, even the books on feng shui, his grandfather didn't let him touch it, let alone digging and burying it, if he really went, his grandfather promised to break his legs.

It is said that Mr. Feng Shui has no place to bury, fortune teller Yin and Yang died on the side of the road, ten Kanyu nine poor, not poor people set the god stick, Mr. Feng Shui said empty, the guide refers to the north and the east, if there is a feudal land in the world, why not find a burial Naiweng, which means that since there is a good land, why Feng Shui master

If he doesn't bury his ancestors, Yang Gong's feng shui has been harmed, why didn't he find the Son of Heaven to bury his ancestors and let his grandson be the emperor? So don't believe the feng shui master's nonsense.

"Although my uncle is a Taoist priest and my grandfather is a feng shui master, both of them rely on feng shui for more or less food, but I don't believe in feng shui at all", so even if my grandfather is a feng shui master, when he comes to me, he will be cut off, nothing will be left, and I don't want to learn these tricks."

"Xiao Gang, it doesn't matter, you see that people are being arrested everywhere now, the blessing of fortune depends on it, the blessing of disaster depends on it, and Seong knows whether it is a blessing or not, maybe this is the reason why your grandfather doesn't let you touch feng shui."

"But I now need to determine the approximate location of the nearby mountains, if you want to find the ancient tomb, you must first know the surrounding geographical structure and the trend of the mountain" Yan Wenbin is like this, the more his grandfather restricts him, the more he wants to touch things in feng shui, because he was born with such blood in his bones, and with his grandfather behind his back, Yan Wenbin has learned a lot of things.
