Chapter 12: The House of the Underworld

Liu Xiaohong sent Chen Feng and Wei Fei to the mouth of the alley in a trance. The sun had set, and the wind with the smell of remnant winter was blowing through the alley, full of a sense of loneliness and depression.

Chen Feng looked at the unusually deserted alley, and suddenly realized that there were no other people who had been going back and forth in the alley this afternoon, except for Liu Xiaohong and the strange old man on the other side of the door. He couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Liu, why don't you see other residents in this alley?" ”

Liu Xiaohong shook her head, "They have all moved away, and they are not allowed to live here, saying that they have applied to become a cultural relics protection site, and in a few days, I will have to rent a house and move out." As she spoke, her eyes turned red again.

Changfu Building. The meeting was still going on, and Chang couldn't help but sneer "hehe", "Isn't it just a Qing Dynasty school and prefect's tomb?" How does it compare to the newly opened alley next to it? That alley is not that my Changfu Group spent tens of millions of dollars to apply for a cultural relics protection unit, and the annual maintenance budget alone is worth a few schools and prefects' tombs, I don't think the relevant departments will not lose face. ”

Speaking of the newly opened alley, no one in the conference room dared to speak. Speaking of which, that was the first resolution Chang Li made after Chang Da Fuyi passed on the throne - without the approval of the directors of the group, he privately used nearly 100 million funds to evacuate the residents in the newly opened alley, saying that the newly opened alley should be preserved as a cultural relic, which is the responsibility of the Changfu Group, which started with the development of tourism resources. Although everyone was dissatisfied, most of the members of the board of directors had worked hard with Chang Dafu back then, Chang Dafu did not express his position, and others did not dare to say anything.

It was getting late, and the conference room was already dark and blurry, "So be it!" Chang Li stood up coldly and walked out without looking back.

"Chang Li," Chang Dafu, who had been silent as if he had lost his life, suddenly shouted weakly, "Chang Li, the piece of land on the top of the mountain, you ......"

Chang Li didn't look back, "That piece of land, I naturally have a way to deal with it." With that, he walked away.

"No......" Chang Dafu's raised right arm hung down weakly, and what he wanted to say finally couldn't be said - that piece of land couldn't be moved, it was related to the secret of the Chang family's ancestors.

Newly opened alley entrance. Sitting on the bench in the garden in the middle of the street, Wei Fei sighed, "I don't know what happened to Zong Zhiqiang and Liu Guo." ”

"You've been talking about it several times in the past few days, and it's not annoying. When this kind of thing happens, it is their destiny, and the police can't help it. Chen Feng said disapprerovingly, and then sighed, and said with some sadness: "When the time comes, when their family calms down, let's buy some things and take a look, which can be regarded as a friendship between classmates for a few years." ”

At this time, Wei Fei's phone rang suddenly, and he turned on his mobile phone to "hey" a few times, "Chen Feng and I are now in Xishan University Town Square!" The fat man has been back for so long, and he can't accompany him everywhere to remember, ah...... Aren't you going to handle the case? There was a vindictive flavor in his tone.

The call was naturally from his police girlfriend Yang Bing. At this moment, Yang Bingzheng said: "Things are already busy, it just so happens that I have been resting for the past two days, and I will also accompany you to receive Chen Feng." ”

Wei Fei was secretly happy, Yang Bing took the initiative to call after making an awkward scene, and then turned his head to look at Chen Feng. The two of them were about to go to the top of the back mountain in a while, but they were afraid that it would be too troublesome to take Liu Xiaohong with them, so they lied that they would go again tomorrow, but now Yang Bing is coming...... Chen Feng nodded indifferently. Wei Fei said into the phone: "Then you come quickly, the fat man and I are waiting for you in the garden of the university town square." He put away the phone, then was stunned suddenly, and asked Chen Feng hesitantly: "Zong Zhiqiang and Liu Guo's homes are also under the jurisdiction of their police station, will she ......?"

Chen Feng didn't speak, and the smile on his face made Wei Fei more and more uncomfortable. Chen Feng really doesn't care, after all, for this kind of thing, even if Yang Bing finds out the truth, there can only be two situations: one is the nonsense that is regarded as mental illness by the leaders of the police station; The second is to shut up knowingly. Besides, he hasn't seen him for so many years, Yang Bing is still the cute little girl in his childhood in his memory, and he really wants to see how Yang Bing will react if he meets Liu Linglang or Blood Wish again, whether he will scream and jump up and throw himself into Wei Fei's arms, that scene must be very interesting. More importantly, the legend says that the official clothes can ward off evil, as the saying goes: the official clothes are on the body, and the gods and ghosts are disrespectful. Yang Bing is a policeman, this time I came to see if this legend is just a legend.

The corners of Chen Feng's mouth unconsciously revealed a smile that was definitely ill-intentioned in Wei Fei's eyes.

"We've just said it, just go to the top of the back mountain and have a look. Don't scare her later, let alone involve her, I warn you! In the past few days, Wei Fei has experienced so many strange things with Chen Feng, but he has become accustomed to it, and only then did he suddenly wake up: Yang Bing is an ordinary person! At this time, it was too late to regret it, and if he called again to cancel the meeting, I was afraid that the wayward Yang Bing would push the relationship that had just eased to deteriorate, so he added: "Why don't we go?" ”

Where would Chen Feng care about so much, if he comes, he will be safe, and who knows that this will not be a fate? "We'll talk about it then." He responded casually, and his mind quickly turned to the newly opened alley in front of him. In any way, this alley is your bureau in the upper pattern, and this kind of noble situation will not easily dissipate in a short period of time, so in any case, there should not be the current situation where people go to the house empty. The feng shui pattern is originally taken from the essence of the nature of mountains and rivers, and it is difficult for human forces to violate it, unless there will be some major changes and turbulence in this pattern.

Wei Fei next to him was embarrassed alone for a while, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Fatty, can you tell me in detail what's going on in that Yin Mansion?" ”

Chen Feng didn't answer him directly, thought about it, and said: "People stand because of the house, the house exists because of the people, and the people help each other and feel the world." The Yin House refers to the tomb, as the name suggests, where the Yin people live. There are too many exquisitenesses in this, in addition to the dragon vein knots, even the burial has the "Funeral Sutra", "Twelve Methods of Inverted Staff", "Nine Stars and Sixteen Holes" and "Seventy-two Burials" and other secret techniques, if you talk about the various burial goods and arrangements in the tomb, it is a very mysterious vein in feng shui. ”

Wei Fei hesitated for a moment, "That fat man, what do you think of my family's Yin Mansion?" His grandfather and parents were buried on the slope of the old house. Strictly speaking, it is really not a yin homestead, but it is buried in the ground, and the burial is a hole, in short, it is still the shelter of the ancestors.

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "You are already a psychic now, and you are also a cultivator, so you shouldn't explore your own affairs." ”

Wei Fei also shook his head, "I know it's definitely not very good, it looks too shabby, to say that my grandfather used to believe in this, I don't know why, but he chose a place like this for himself." ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Feng had no choice but to sigh, "I also think it's strange, judging from the layout of the Four Spirit Protectors in the old courtyard, there should be someone in your ancestor who is proficient in this way, at least he has asked someone to see it." The hillside where your grandfather was buried, a slash went straight down, and there was a road under the hillside, which was the pattern of future generations toiling and running, and even if there was any merit, it would roll down the slope to the road and be taken away by pedestrians. ”

"What are you talking about, so devoted?" Someone next to him suddenly asked. Chen Feng and Wei Fei raised their heads and saw that Yang Bing had arrived. She didn't wear a uniform, a black sweater with tight jeans, and she still looked heroic.

"Ha, Chen Feng, you are really so fat, you haven't changed at all." Yang Bing didn't feel unfamiliar at all, she pulled Chen Feng and said cleanly: "Let's go, go drinking, I can't come out of the office overtime these days, so I don't have time to pick you up." I'm having a treat tonight, and I'm making amends. ”

Yang Bing has indeed been working overtime in the past few days, in addition to the daily trivial matters in the jurisdiction, he has been busy with the affairs of Zong Zhiqiang and Liu Guo, external investigations, comforting the relatives of the deceased, issuing death certificates, and urging forensic identification...... was very busy, she also went to Wei Fei's house and asked Xie Li, but she didn't find Wei Fei and Chen Feng, but Wei Fei's mobile phone was always not in the service area. How did she know that Wei Fei had been wandering between the yin and yang worlds for the past few days, how could he get through with his mobile phone! Just now, the results of the forensic examination came out: no suspected lethal substances were found. This shows that the suspicion of Wei Fei and Chen Feng has been ruled out. Although Political Commissar Guo once again hinted at the matter of the cultural relics smuggling group, after all, there was no involvement in the murder, and the main suspect was Chen Feng and not Wei Fei, so she was still a surprise in her heart, and hurriedly dialed Wei Fei's mobile phone and got through.

"What happened to Zong Zhiqiang and Liu Guo?" Wei Fei asked cautiously tentatively.

"The results of the forensic examination have come out, it is an unnatural death, and the case has been closed." Yang Bing said.

Wei Fei let out a long sigh of relief. The corners of Chen Feng's mouth twitched disapprehantly, and he was a hundred disdainful in his heart: How could a forensic doctor identify this kind of thing?!

In the night of the lanterns, the West End has a unique sense of tranquility. Although the construction site of Changfu Group's Xicheng Garden in the north of Xishan is still rumbling, the bridge connecting the east and west districts is also full of traffic, and the student apartment in the south is bustling, this does not affect the thick atmosphere of the university town.

A jet-black, streamlined sedan drove almost silently into the alley. At the end of the alley is a luxurious duplex villa. The electrically controlled iron gate slowly opened, and the car drove into the courtyard and came to a steady stop.

A person got out of the car first, with a big head and wide shoulders, and his footsteps on the ground "knocked" sound, it was Luo Jianyang who fell out with Chang Li in public in the conference room of Changfu Group during the day.

I saw him walk to the other side of the car and pull the car door himself, "Master Xia, it's here, please!" "The person who came down was of medium height, wearing an old-fashioned retro Tang costume, and his appearance was ordinary, but somehow, he always looked eerie. The most strange thing is that this person is standing there, and the lights around him seem to be unable to shine on him at all, making his whole person look as if he is shrouded in darkness.

Luo Jianyang led the man into the hall of the villa. In the hall, there is only one floor lamp in the corner, and the light is slightly dim. Luo Jianyang frowned and said to the man, "Master Xia, please take a seat." Master Naxia let out a "hmm", and his voice was low.

Luo Jianyang immediately turned around and shouted, "Mr. Du, Mr. Du, are you there?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a faint voice floating in the corner of the hall, "Mr. Luo, you come back." ”

In the dark corner, a figure floated up like smoke, and this person, like Master Naxia, exuded a mysterious aura all over his body. Luo Jianyang looked at the two of them, and suddenly couldn't help but shiver.

I only heard the man ask solemnly: "Mr. Luo, what's the matter, is Chang Gongzi more and more extreme?" ”

Luo Jianyang nodded, "Yes, Mr. Du really deserves to be a god on the road, that kid has been acting ridiculously lately, and he actually kicked me out this afternoon." However, everything went according to his expectations. ”

Mr. Du said: "The green qi floating between his eyebrows is already an invasion of evil qi, and with a little push, Mr. Luo can get what he wants." ”

Luo Jianyang laughed, "I have to rely on Mr. more from now on." ”

At this time, Master Naxia suddenly said coldly: "The wealth of the conspirators is already stealing opportunities, and if you are too careful, you will suffer from it." ”

Luo Jianyang was stunned for a moment, and said "hey" a few times, "Now it seems that the assets of Changfu Group are no longer nothing." If that ancient tomb really exists, just pick up one piece, and it will be enough to buy a few Changfu Group. Mr. Du, the rest of Luo's life can be bet on you. ”

Mr. Nadu was still standing in the shadow of that corner, and he seemed to have glanced at Master Naxia brought by Luo Jianyang, "God can't talk about it, but his vision is really poisonous, and he is still worthy of the hat that the brothers in the Dao gave to him as the 'No. 1 Master of Tomb Exploration in Zhongnan'." I saw him raise his arm, stretch out his fingers, and a little green spark flew out, and with a soft sound of "sneer", an oil lamp suddenly lit up on the coffee table a few meters away. The oil lamp was three inches high, and the overall appearance was in the shape of a dragon, with the dragon's tail and two claws forming a chassis, and the dragon's body sinking upward, and the center of the lamp was in the dragon's mouth with a large gap. The shape of the oil lamp is simple and heavy, the dragon body is not shaped, and the bronze body is covered with specks of rust.

Luo Jianyang noticed that when the oil lamp was lit, Master Xia's body was sluggish, and he let out a low cry of surprise.

At this time, Mr. Du turned off the floor lamp, and suddenly a spectacle appeared, under the projection of the oil lamp, I saw that the villa hall was facing the oil lamp on the wall, and there was a flying dragon with its head and tail swinging. The dragon's body was blue and black, but somehow, there were colorful clouds flying around it, and with the shaking of the lights, the flying dragon seemed to be about to rush into the sky immediately.

"This lamp is one of the eighteen plates of nine dragons, nine phoenixes. Nine dragons, nine phoenixes and eighteen plates, including nine dragon lanterns and nine phoenix lanterns, are said to be the treasures of Qin Shi Huang for his mausoleum. It is said that the nine dragons, nine phoenixes and eighteen plates are gathered, and the dragon and the phoenix can be summoned. Mr. Du said, his voice faint.

"The reason why Zai Xia was called a poisonous eye by the brothers on the road, and was pushed to be the first master of tomb exploration in Zhongnan, was because he knew some feng shui techniques for finding dragons and identifying holes. The ancients buried it, and it must be auspicious with the dragon vein of feng shui, so if it comes to searching for ancient tombs, how can those thieves who wander around the mountains and fields all day long with Luoyang shovels digging pits and robbing tombs compare with them? His tone was full of pride.

His name is Du Yan, in the line of digging pits and robbing tombs, he is recognized as the first master in Central and South China, where he can afford it, he will say that he will be nine times out of ten, good at finding the old tomb between the mountains and rivers, so it is called "poisonous eyes".

Du Yan said: "When Feng Shui is self-contained, there is a distinction between Yin and Yang Houses, but compared with Yang House Feng Shui, Yin Houses are still looking for dragon points on the foundation of Yang Houses. The real beginning of the layout of the Yin Mansion is since the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the secret of the great solidity of his mausoleum, so far no one has been able to enter it and realize its way. The terracotta pit alone is enough to show how grand and complex the layout of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is. However, few people in the world know that all the layout designs of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang came from the hands of one person, and since then, the feng shui of the yin house has become a vein of its own, and this vein is the secret of the secret compared to the yang house. ”

Speaking of this, Du Yan suddenly paused, "And the Nine Dragons, Nine Phoenixes, and Eighteen Plates are the treasures of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which was originally escorted into the Mausoleum by 18 soldiers, but these 18 guards did not know where to get the news, in order to keep the secret of the Mausoleum, Qin Shi Huang is ready to enclose all the people who enter the Mausoleum. As a result, these eighteen guards secretly absconded with the Nine Dragons, Nine Phoenixes, and Eighteen Pans, and have not been seen since. ”

Du Yan waved his hand to turn on the floor lamp, and the image of the flying dragon on the wall disappeared, and then said: "And this dragon lantern appeared in the tomb excavated at the Xicheng Garden construction site of Changfu Group a few days ago."

Luo Jianyang couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that that tomb is one of the eighteen guards who escorted the Nine Dragons, Nine Phoenixes, and Eighteen Pans back then, or is it the descendant of one of them?" ”

A master of Du Yan's level will naturally not make inferences from this. The tomb that was first discovered on the Xicheng Garden site had only one main chamber and a tunnel leading to the mausoleum gate. When it was discovered that it was an ancient tomb, the entire tomb had been dug up in a mess, and only ceramic clay pots and the like remained. Over the next two days, two more tombs were dug nearby. What caught the attention of archaeologists was the tunnels between the tombs, which connected the three tombs. According to the burial goods of the tombs, the owners of these tombs should be subordinate. Judging from the faint presence of several tunnels, it is likely that there are more, larger, and more noble tombs connected to them.

"As the original treasure of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the Nine Dragons, Nine Phoenixes and Eighteen Plates have their magic, one of which is the mutual induction between the eighteen lamps, no matter what, the eighteen plates will not be divided too far, even if they are placed in the north and south, they will automatically gather."

Luo Jianyang's throat moved, "So, the other 17 in the Nine Dragons, Nine Phoenixes and Eighteen Plates must be in this area and not far away?" ”

At this time, Master Xia, who had been sitting upright, suddenly spoke: "The key is that Qin Shi Huang pacified the six countries and unified the world, and there was an emperor from the beginning, what a revered body of the Ninety-Five. The eighteen plates of the dragon and phoenix have their own aura, which can be controlled by extraordinary people. Back then, apart from Qin Shi Huang, who else in the world could suppress these eighteen plates?! His voice was low and ethereal, and there were many similarities with Du Yan in temperament, only to hear him say again: "Even if the eighteen plates are scattered in one place, they are not something that ordinary people can keep in the Yin House, let alone princes and generals." Therefore, there must be a large and high-standard ancient tomb group in the West Mountain. ”

"You're saying that there are at least seventeen ancient tombs of the rank of princes and generals?!" Luo Jianyang's eyebrows kept jumping, and at the same time, he felt that the temperature in the living room seemed to have dropped by a few degrees.

I saw Du Yan say coldly: "Mr. Luo, who is this master?" Du is very clumsy! ”

Only then did Luo Jianyang remember that he had never had time to introduce that Master Xia to Du Yan, "Mr. Du, this is Master Xia, and he is also a master. ”

Du Yan sneered, "Of course I know that this is a master, how can ordinary people know the wonder of the Nine Dragons, Nine Phoenixes and Eighteen Plates of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang." It's just Mr. Luo, can't he find out this ancient tomb group with the power of Du? Without Du's knowledge at all, you invited another Master Xia, shouldn't you have doubts about Du's ability? ”

Luo Jianyang smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Du, you know that's not what I meant. Like you, Master Xia is also a guest of honor invited over there, and I, like the two of you, are actually doing things for others. It's just that the two are professional experts, and I can only create some favorable conditions for the two of them on the periphery. To really enter the ancient tombs, it still depends on the two of them. ”

Du Yan sneered again, "Du Mou has always been used to being alone, if he hadn't seen the eighteen plates of dragons and phoenixes born this time, how could he have invited Du Mou with that gang of smugglers." Mr. Luo, you are an understanding person, don't want to play any tricks. With that, the figure disappeared into the shadows like a mist.

Luo Jianyang wiped a cold sweat and looked at Master Xia helplessly, "Master Xia, look, this ......"

Although Master Naxia was sitting on the sofa, the light still didn't seem to shine on him, which made him seem as if he didn't exist at all. He didn't speak.

Luo Jianyang was stunned for a while, picked up the dragon lantern on the coffee table, and watched it carefully, his eyes were full of fanaticism.

Outside, the night breeze is rising. The branches swayed and swayed, a thin cloud obscured the moonlight, and outside the alley there was still a brightly lit world, but the weather seemed to change slowly.
