Chapter 13: Hezi Village (5)
These green lights lurked in the river for a moment, as if there was some kind of behemoth in the river water of Erdaokou, I didn't see a water shadow, but after these green lights disappeared, I saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the surface of the river, curling Tingting, whistling into the air, staying for a moment, and then disappearing into the afterglow of the sunset.
I rode on the tree and looked stunned, and said that there are really water ghosts in this river? But the sun has not set yet, and half the sun is still hanging on the west mountain and struggling to go down, and there are ghosts who are afraid of the three lights, so they should not appear at this hour.
Then it should be phosphorus fire.
In some riverbeds, where the flow often breaks, there are many fish trapped here, and over time these fish dry up and die, and year after year, several layers of rotting corpses are piled up in the mud, and at a certain point, phosphorus fires float out.
I heard this from the mouth of a Yellow River riverworker who sold jade tablets, but how could the phosphorus fire burn in the water, and the green smoke didn't look like an ordinary thing, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I climbed up from the branch, hung half of my body from the treetops, and squinted my eyes to look at the river.
After waiting for less than five minutes, the green light reappeared.
This time, I saw that the green light rose from the bottom of the river, and the bubbles of the water flowed straight to the surface of the river, but the moment it came into contact with the air, it turned into wisps of green smoke and rose into the air, condensed into a faint cyan mist, wandered in the air for a while, and then disappeared again.
When I saw this strange green smoke, I suddenly had a feeling and assured Chairman Mao that I seemed to have seen it somewhere. After thinking about it, I finally remembered that there was such a record when I looked through the book "Holding Treasure Ancient Records" a few nights ago:
The mountains, rivers and the earth are full of vitality, and different regions have different vitality, which makes the earth have different phases. The qi of heaven and earth stops because of the form, and does not go away, and all things change and survive from the qi, so the form and qi are united. Just like the masculinity of the sun, moon and stars rising upward, and the feminine energy of mountains, rivers, plants and trees condensed in the countryside, so the vitality flow is different in different places, and the appearance of the earth is not very different.
"Wangqi" is the unique mastery of treasure hunters to find treasures, and the "view of the mountain" in the tomb robbery and tomb turning over the tomb comes from the same source, all of which are derived from the yin and yang feng shui in the "observation of the shape and the situation", but the details are slightly different.
Mr. Yin and Yang's "Wangqi" is before the sun rises, and the Treasure Gate is at sunset, when the yang energy is gradually shading.
When looking at qi, you usually open your eyes slightly and observe the qi of the mountains, rivers and rivers with the corner of your eye, which means that if you want to look straight ahead, you usually tilt your head slightly.
There is also a special record of the color of Wangqi in "Holding Treasure Ancient Spectrum": Huang Lingqing Demon, Red Treasure White Jue.
If the complexion is golden, it means that there are heavenly spirits practicing here; Cyan is generally a demon animal; White is empty.
The formation of the Yuzui River bank here has a history of hundreds of years or nearly a thousand years, the creation of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the formation of the sun and the moon, and there is a flow of living water that leads to endless vitality.
I took a deep breath and waited for a long time on the treetops, but by this time the sun had already set, and I was afraid that I would not be able to wait for the green qi to appear again, and it was past the best time to look at the qi.
Riding back from the treetops to the trunk in the middle, I stared at the calm of the river, and had a vague feeling in my heart that the broken book was not a mess, and if it was all written in it, I would have to read it again if I could go back alive this time.
But what needs to be worried about the most now is Tong Xiaomeng.
This Nizi thinks that she has the means to hide from the world, pretending to be a bride who throws herself into the river to sacrifice and then trying to escape by herself, but once there is really a big demon in the river, then even if she enters with a submachine gun with a handle, she may not be able to go ashore alive.
Thinking of this, the waiting time began to become long. By this time I could no longer return to the village like her, the sun had set, and even if I sat on a tree, I could hear the faint sound of musical instruments from the village, presumably the ceremony in the ancestral hall had already been held, and now I needed to wait a little longer, and when the sun had completely set and night fell, I could send the "bride" to the shore and throw it into the river to complete the final ritual.
The most important thing is that the girl in the yard didn't come to me as agreed, could it be that Tong Xiaomeng missed?
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and I began to suspect that Tong Xiaomeng had been caught by the people in the village and sent out of the village together with Professor Gu, and there were still 3,000 nails in the broken boat.
I thought about it for a while, looked at the gloomy sky, and couldn't help but shudder.
The sound of music from the village became louder and louder, and I looked back and saw that a lot of dense fires were gathering in the village, and I guessed that the sacrificial procession was about to arrive, but I saw that there was nowhere to run, so I could only hide patiently on the branches of the trees, and pray that I would pass this hurdle smoothly, even if it was to swim, I would have to swim out of this river tonight, but it was not in this position at the moment.
The sake is red, and the wealth is moving. If it weren't for Jin Yiyi's greed for the 100,000 yuan, I wouldn't have been forced into such a desperate situation as a jade seller.
The wind blew a little cold at night at the mouth of the river, and I hid in the trees with my shoulders crossed, thinking about the chances of finding a narrow estuary to swim to the other side, when suddenly, there was a "boom", and a huge flame jumped up to the sky behind me, and the whole night sky lit up at once.
I turned my head in astonishment, and saw a group of villagers holding torches were hugging a certain red sedan chair to leave the entrance of the village and approach in my direction, suona gongs and gongs and drums were noisy, these people were wearing the same black off-the-shoulder coats, although the gongs and drums sounded, but the faces of these people were lifeless under the light of the torches, with faces that were contrary to the sound of music, four of them carried the red dajiao, but looking at this expression, where it looked like a sedan chair, even if it carried the coffin, it was not so sad.
At this time, I noticed that at the front of the procession, there was a man with a huge mask, who was wearing a red and green robe, on which was painted a grimace with green fangs, and the robe was full of bells.
"The river god is enshrined, the ten thousand tunes are smooth, the year is in Youmao, and there is great joy!"
Like a shaman worshipping the gods, his voice is not high-pitched, but his penetrating power is extremely strong, chanting incantations, humming, very special, and I immediately think of the old man I saw in the village during the day.
I thought that this old man was the village chief or patriarch of Hezi Village, but I didn't expect him to be the priest at the sacrifice ceremony tonight.
I took off the DV hanging around my neck, found a comfortable position on the branch and put it on it, turned on the camera and pointed it at the family delivery team, and pressed the record button.
The mighty sacrificial procession stopped in place, and from behind the old man came out four people who were also wearing five red and green robes, with masks on their faces, but they did not hang copper bells on their clothes, and they seemed to have a lower status than the old man.
The four of them began to dance around the old man, their movements stiff and twisted, and they looked very strange under the cover of night.
The more I looked, the more I felt that something was wrong, and when I was wondering whether to choose an hour to throw into the river, I suddenly remembered, Tong Xiaomeng told me during the day that the "Ninghai County Chronicles" mentioned in the record of the river god sacrifice: When the river god appears in the river, they will throw the girl into the river to worship the god.
At this time, someone in the team suddenly pulled his neck and shouted: "The river god marries, all evils retreat!" The dancing priest stopped, and the eyes of the men, women, and children in the procession looked straight at me.
Gollum ......
I shuddered, and I heard the rushing river behind me suddenly quiet down, and the sound of bubbling in the water was extremely harsh at this moment!
