Chapter 16: Tomb Talisman
A few middle-aged people came down the stairs, wearing leather jackets and cigarettes, leaning against the railing of the stairs halfway down the stairs. They looked downstairs as if they were laughing or grim.
"I said, Xiao Li," one of them grinned, not smiling, "Did that kid Yu Zhenyun teach you a lot?" Why are you mixing bodyguards now? I'll just say, Yu Zhenyun didn't get out of the way back then, you follow along, tsk, it's definitely no fun. ”
Li Zhonglou couldn't hear these words, held back his anger, and replied calmly, "He is now, at least a member of the Ran family." When you rushed the old man out, you also let him fend for himself. Now that Old Man Ran has become a master in Beijing, you still came non-stop? Is it so real to live? ”
Jian Jue and Qin Zitao immediately coaxed, "Real? Oh oh oh good guy! After saying that, he realized that he was rude, and lowered his head again.
Qin Zitao pushed Jian Du and blamed: "Other people's family affairs, you jump higher than anyone else!" ”
"I thought it was for the sake of the batter..." Jian Jue said awkwardly.
Li Zhonglou opened his hands and patted the shoulders of the two, and sighed: "I'm sorry, you go to the tea room in the back and wait for me first, and I'll come after a while." ”
"Okay, okay, you get busy first." Jian Jue quickly nodded in agreement, pulled Qin Zitao and left. Since it comes to the back, you should be able to find it around the courtyard. However, when you walk through the courtyard, you can really feel the wealth of this family, and the corridors are like a large park with a lake. But it is more exquisite than the park, and each scenery has a different theme design.
"Look at that bamboo, with only one stone, set in a crystal. Isn't it very realistic? Jian Du touched his chin and made a thoughtful look.
Qin Zitao didn't save face for him, "You know a ghost!" ”
"yes, I'm a ghost!" Jian Jue also thinks this sentence is very good, a pun.
After a while, Li Zhonglou came over, and asked in surprise, "Why are you all standing?" Don't go in for tea? - Oh, I wasn't ready. ”
"No, I'll take the children to see and learn." Jian Zhu said.
Li Zhonglou took them into the tea room, poured tea, and sat down.
"Is it called Qin Zitao?" Li Zhonglou asked, "Are there very few people in your grade on the dark web?" ”
"Eh," Qin Zitao waved his hand and hurriedly denied it, "There are many more, there is a tiger master in Taiwan." He is younger than me, and he is particularly prestigious in the local area, and he usually only comes out on festivals, and many villagers worship him as soon as he comes out. Better than me. ”
Li Zhonglou smiled, "Do you want to go to school?" ”
"Ah, high school freshman. Part-time job during the summer vacation, anyway, the whole family does this. Qin Zitao spoke unrestrained and open.
After some gossip, Li Zhonglou took out a printed map, "Fu is in this tomb, and the tomb is not clear." Strange to say, the tomb used to belong to a large family, but then disappeared in the local area. Old Man Ran used to give the talisman to that family, but who knew that not only did he not help that family to operate, but it caused some natural and man-made disasters. ”
Qin Zitao looked at the map, pondered, thought for a while, and said to Li Zhonglou, "The mountains are so steep.... It should be a cliff tomb. I thought it was all in Hunan and Sichuan. ”
Li Zhonglou looked at Qin Zitao, "Are you sure?" ”
"This area is full of lofty mountains, and there is no way to build other tombs. Unless it is an ordinary civilian digging a pit and burying it, but the pit grave is at least relatively flat. Qin Zitao said.
Jian Jue asked: "It's just to find out the charm, it's simple." When are you leaving? Then the people of the Yu family won't be with us, right? Jian Jue remembered the last college student tour group, and I don't know if it subverted their three views.
"I sent them away, it is impossible to be together. Even if I can't get the talisman, I'll think of a way to give some money and send it away. They just want to take money. It's just that Fu is the last wish that Old Man Ran told before he died, so I have to do it. ”
After Li Zhonglou said this, Jian Jue felt a little wrong, he turned his head to Li Zhonglou almost reflexively, and opened his mouth to ask. "Huh.....?" But he took people's money and talked less for others, so he swallowed the questioning stiffly.
"It's fine." He said two words inexplicably.
Li Zhonglou arranged for them to stay for two days, and the two of them had a good rest for a while.
Two days later, a few people took a plane to Sichuan, arrived at the location arranged by Jian Du, took the large bags and small bags brought by Qin Zitao, rented a van, and drove to Yunnan.
After driving for a day, when I arrived at my destination, I found that it was also listed as an ethnic village.
They went to eat Dai dishes, pineapple rice, and pumpkin pie, which was very appetizing. Especially the pineapples in Yunnan are not like in Sichuan, which need to be dipped in salt water, otherwise it is particularly astringent. The pineapple here is very sweet, so it's okay to eat it straight.
Qin Zitao looked around and said, "Wow, how can you check how loose the highway during this time." We used to work on the road, but we were most afraid of running to Yunnan, and the highway would be blocked for inspection, and the road would be stopped for smuggling. ”
"You've run through Yunnan?"
"No," Qin Zitao leaned closer to Jian Jie's ear, "It's to go to Myanmar secretly." ”
Jian Jue coughed twice: "Ahem, be careful of plainclothes." ”
Over there, Li Zhonglou finished asking for directions, said that he was still going into the mountains, and found a local villager to lead the way.
Jian Jue was still asking: "Isn't there a lot of ethnic minorities in Yunnan?" Why didn't you see one? ”
"There are so many tourist areas, I'll take you enough to play after work." Qin Zitao glanced at him with disgust, "I haven't seen the world." ”
Although the mountain road is rough, at least there is a road, and the van can drive into it.
When the villagers asked them what they were doing, Jian replied, "For those who are buying, look at the wood, fungus, mushrooms, and so on." By the way, the baby will be brought out for a few days during the summer vacation. ”
The villagers didn't ask again, and Qin Zitao reacted, "Taking advantage of people?" ”
Not far away, thick clouds of smoke filled the mountain, making the local villagers poke their heads out and shout, "Oh, the mountain god is going to marry his mother-in-law!" ”
"What? The mountain god marries a mother-in-law? ”
"From the village of Zhuzi," the villagers laughed vigorously, "you'll know when you get there." At this time of year, the mountain god wants to ask a girl to be a mother-in-law. Rest assured, it's all a walk-around form now. After all, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the older generation said, no matter how bad it is, you have to go through the motions again. ”
"Yes, it's auspicious." Jane didn't think anything was wrong, he had understood it in advance.
The villagers were still talking and gesturing: "Just be a straw man, wear a red robe, and cover your head with a red hijab, and a few young men will carry them to the cave, and the dowry will be arranged." Even if he marries a daughter-in-law to the mountain god. The smoke just now was weeding, making it easier to walk the way of the pro-team. "Huh, fooling the mountain god like this?" Qin Zitao also laughed.
Jian Jue on the side knew that Li Zhonglou couldn't understand the dialect, so he stretched his head to the front seat to translate the conversation.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zitao's words made the villager's face change, and he was silent for a while, and it took a long time to come back to his senses in his thoughts.
"In the past, people were superstitious and really shouted to hand over the girl doll in another room, lift it up and send it to the cave. By the time they came out, the dolls were already delirious, and she shouldn't have called her. Such a female doll can't live, and then she dies herself. We can't say why, some say it's because the cave is dark, and they are thinking nonsense in it, and they are scared out of their minds. Alas, what iniquity you do! ”
Qin Zitao closed his mouth, leaned his head against the window, and said, "Alas, it's all over." Now we don't pay attention to these things, we are, and all the rituals are going through the motions. Unless it is to worship the God of Wealth, it is simply more pious and serious than offering incense to the ancestors. ”
The villager uncle was amused by this kid, "That's not, the God of Wealth is not unusual." ”
When they arrived at the top of the mountain, the villager put on his own basket and wanted to enter the mountain again. In addition to leading the way, he also had to go into the mountains. Li Zhonglou handed over a cigarette and gave the money to the uncle by the way.
The villager uncle wanted to shirk it, but he stretched out his hand again, and he sighed to himself, "Alas. Young man, I live on the other side of the hill, just walk down this road, and the houses are my house. If you don't have Zhu Dang, you will come to me. ”
"Thank you, thank you." Jian Zhu expressed his gratitude.
The van found an open space and stopped, and they went around to see what was going on. The altitude of Yunnan is higher than that of Sichuan, and now the sun is not out, and the wind blowing from the mountains is still cold, and several people are wearing coats.
"The mountain god begs the mother-in-law, hehe." Qin Zitao smiled like a monkey.
Li Zhonglou imitated his accent and read strangely, "Mother.... Mother....? ”
Qin Zitao corrected his pronunciation one by one and explained, "Mother-in-law, that's what wife means." It is the mountain god here who wants to marry a wife, marry a bride, marry a wife, marry a Darling...... ”
"you!" Jian Jue pushed him away, "The kid's family! Hurry up and take a look at Feng Shui, what dragon ruler compass take out and see. Which piece is a treasure of feng shui? Can I do this under my feet? ”
Qin Zitao shook his head, "It's not good, it's appropriate to bury you." ”
Li Zhonglou put on his backpack and looked like he was about to leave, and said, "I just don't understand individual dialects, but I still know local legends." These days, the mountain god marries a wife, and the locals are most afraid of funeral. ”
"Wow, there's a lot of detail. Accustomed to the mountain gods? Qin Zitao came up to listen to the fresh.
Li Zhonglou taught him, "Red things meet hundreds of things, this is called red and white, in Maoshan technique, it is said to be a kind of formation forbidden book, extremely unlucky." Because the factors are conflicting, it is particularly easy to make taboos. ”
"Cattle Pie." Qin Zitao probably understood, "What if there is really a funeral?" Three days? Well... I thought I was going to come back for three days. ”
"Heh~," Li Zhonglou beckoned Jian to leave, "Let's take a look, let's go to the mountain first." ”
Jian decided that several people entered the mountain together, but the water vapor in the mountain was very heavy, and there was fog in the distance, and the fog carried the smoke of burning grass, and it was hazy and hazy, like a landscape painting.
