Text Chapter 26 Five Ding Fu Snake Formation
Long Feihu and Wang Ziheng were also startled when they heard Tian Fusheng's broken drink.
Three beams of electric light shot at the stone wall opposite Tian Fusheng in one salvo, only to see that the stone wall had been carved out of a huge groove one zhang high and five feet wide, and inside the groove, a fierce stone statue was glaring at the three of them.
"Grass! Fusheng, I was almost scared half to death by you, what is there to be afraid of a rotten stone statue? Long Feihu teased.
"More than one, look!" Wang Ziheng's flashlight swept across the entire stone room, and everyone found that there were a total of five stone statues hiding in the groove.
It turned out that when everyone came in just now, only Long Feihu turned on his flashlight, and the lighting range was limited, and he was in a hurry, so he couldn't find the mystery on the stone wall.
When Tian Fusheng went to touch the gold token, he placed the turned flashlight on the stone slab under the corpse, and the electric light was just facing a stone statue, so he frightened the unprepared Tian Fusheng.
"Egg poop, that's right." Tian Fusheng wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead and said, "Brother Ziheng said just now that there are stone statues in the stone caves of Dong Village, but there are none here. It seems that it is because there is not enough space here, and the stone statue seems to have to be built tall and mighty, so the designer used his brains on the wall of this stone room. You see, these five grooves, except for the door opening, the rest of the stone walls are just enough for it to be laid out. ”
As he spoke, he slipped the gold token into his backpack.
Long Feihu didn't care that Tian Fusheng was hiding the treasure privately, he just stared at the five stone statues in a daze.
"Could it be a stone statuette?" Tian Fusheng walked up to Long Feihu's side and asked.
Ancient emperors paid attention to the prestige of the array, when holding large-scale activities, in addition to the civil and military officials and military honor guards on both sides, often had to be domesticated lions, elephants and other animals on both sides of the royal road, in order to strengthen the emperor's prestige.
After the death of the emperor, the same pomp and circumstance were also needed in front of the tomb, so stone men and stone beasts were set up in front of the tomb to symbolize the imperial power and honor guards. These large stone men and stone beasts are collectively known as stone statues.
Long Feihu shook his head and said, "It can't be a stone statue." As I just said, there are no tombs here, let alone emperors. I don't seem to be unfamiliar with these things. ”
"What, Fifth Master, do you know these five brothers?"
Long Feihu said: "I don't know me, don't you know Fusheng?" Could it be that over the years, you have returned all your knowledge to your master? ”
Tian Fusheng touched his chin: "Don't say it, I also think it looks familiar!" After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "I remember, isn't this the legendary Wuding Snake Formation?" ”
"Exactly!" Long Feihu said, "I've only heard about this thing, but I've never seen it, and I didn't expect to see it here today!" ”
Wang Ziheng sincerely asked the two seniors for advice: "What is the Wuding Snake Formation?" What is it for? ”
Long Feihu didn't pay attention to him, thinking about it for himself.
However, Tian Fusheng explained in order to break the embarrassment: "This is related to a legend. It is said that in the territory of our neighbor Sichuan, there was an ancient Shu kingdom that ruled the land of Tianfu for hundreds of years, and it was so rich that it was not happy! Qin Guo is a ruffian, he fights very well, and he always robs people and things. He saw that the kid next door ate meat, and he could only nibble on corn buns, so he thought about snatching the one-third of an acre next door every day. The problem is that Shu Dao is difficult to go to the blue sky! Therefore, if you want to attack Shu, you have to find a way first......"
'Oh!' Wuding Kaishan', I know, we talked about it in the high school text "Shu Dao Difficulty". Wang Ziheng suddenly woke up.
Tian Fusheng lost interest and waved his hand: "When I didn't say it!" ”
In order to open up the Shu Road, the King of Qin took advantage of the weakness of the King of Shu's lust and resorted to a beauty scheme. He said that there were five peerless beauties in the Qin State who wanted to dedicate them to the King of Shu, but the King of Shu himself had to send someone to pick them up.
Of course, the king of Shu was willing, so he sent five strong men to Qin to greet the beauties, and people called these five strong men "five dings".
Wuding picked up the beauty, and encountered a big snake blocking the way halfway, and the five brothers launched a ruthless attack, and they wanted to pull the big snake. The big snake seemed to be difficult to deal with, so he hid in the cave, Wuding grabbed the tail of the big snake and dragged it alive, but the mountain collapsed, the big snake, Wuding and the five beauties of Qin all died, and as soon as the mountain collapsed, the Shu Road was opened.
This is naturally some absurd myths and legends, which cannot be believed, but Wang Ziheng can't understand what the legend of "Wuding Kaishan" has to do with these stone men in front of him? He had no choice but to ask Tian Fusheng again.
Tian Fusheng glanced at him and said, "Young man, you must always know how to be humble, what does it mean that a full jar does not ring and half a jar jingles?" Don't you know a lot, why do you ask? If you want to ask, then naturally there is not enough knowledge, right? When the seniors speak in the future, you try to interject as little as possible, understand? ”
Wang Ziheng is submissive.
"The story of Wuding is widely spread in our southwest area, and it is naturally integrated into our religious culture. The Wuwu Tao in the southwest region integrates the teachings of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and myths and legends are also among them, and after screening and selection, it has formed a set of its own cosmic system.
"The ancestors believed that Wuding's righteousness and courage were commendable, and they could also make some contributions to the Three Realms even if they died, so they arranged a set of 'Wuding Snake Formation' formations based on their stories before their deaths. This set of formations, in the final analysis, is to deal with those heinous souls, so that they have no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the earth, and they will never be able to be reborn! ”
"It's so ruthless!" Wang Ziheng just sighed and quickly covered his mouth.
Tian Fusheng continued: "That's right! The hell that the Chinese have passed down for generations is full of ruthless tricks! ”
Long Feihu interjected: "Fusheng, what you said is to the point, since the Wuding Fu Snake Formation is a thing in hell, is there some evil sect when it appears here?" ”
Tian Fusheng was asked.
He and Long Feihu are both gentlemen, although the methods are different, but they both originate from the Wuwu Tao in the southwest region. The two of them learned a lot of skills from their masters, and they should have become masters of Xuanhua on behalf of the heavens, but for the sake of their livelihood, they did a lot of things that were not virtuous, so in the eyes of the two of them, the things of Shinto and Shinto were naturally different from ordinary people.
There are generally two types of people: outright atheists, or deferential religious believers. Sandwiched in the middle, we call him "the speculator of faith."
Tian Fusheng and Long Feihu undoubtedly belong to the "speculators of faith", and the skills learned in the Taoist sect have become a means of collecting money, despising Tianwei; If you really encounter the revelation of the gods, you will inevitably be terrified.
Wang Ziheng naturally couldn't see through the complicated psychology of the two, he just continued to observe the five stone statues, with Tian Long and the two by his side, he was much bolder.
He found that the first and last stone statues held a snake head and a snake tail on their right hands, while the three stone statues in the middle each held half a snake body on their right hands. Presumably, Tian Fusheng and the others judged the Wuding Snake Formation based on these details.
Tian Fusheng coughed twice and reminded Long Feihu: "Fifth Master, just go around in such a stone room, what about the treasure that you said was good?" ”
Long Feihu looked around, but couldn't see the way out of the door for a while, so he had to say, "What are you in a hurry?" Let's take a closer look! The commanders of the Red Army are all here, can the treasure still fly? ”
These words seemed to remind Tian Fusheng again: "Fifth master, yes! There was only one Red Army commander in this stone room, where did Princess Liang and a group of followers who came in with him go? I think that if you find any trace of them, you should be able to find treasure. ”
Having said that, everyone felt strange in their hearts: the stone cave inserted into this stone chamber seemed to have reached the end, and after careful search of the walls or the ground, everyone did not find any exit from the mechanism. What is certain is that the Red Army of Treasure Protection did come here back then, but now except for the bones of a Red Army leader, the other personnel and treasures are all missing, where can they go?
Long Feihu suddenly asked: "Fusheng, I heard that your Mr. Tanmen has a unique skill, what is it called 'Three Officials Asking Directions'." It is said that as long as you encounter the dilemma of hitting the wall and boring the road, and when you are looking for someone for thousands of miles, you can use this method to solve it. Everyone says that you can do it, I wonder if you have learned this kung fu? ”
Tian Fusheng sneered in his heart: You earth rat donkey skills are exhausted, and you will start to provoke me! Fortunately, Lao Tzu also has two brushes, and it's time for you to see my means.
"I've learned a little bit of fur. Don't say it, in this situation, 'Three Officials Ask for Directions' can just come in handy. But the conditions are not good, incense, paper, nothing, without these things, I am afraid that I will not be able to ask a famous name. ”
Long Feihu clapped his hands and said, "It's a coincidence! We go to the grave all the year round, often deal with the feminine, and always have incense paper. I'm a person who always prepares for a rainy day, no, this treasure hunt, I also have incense paper in my toolkit. ”
At that moment, Long Feihu opened the shoulder bag on his waist and really took out a bundle of grass incense and a few piles of paper.
Tian Fusheng walked to the entrance of the cave, picked out three pieces of rubble of similar size among the pebbles that had just been broken, and built them into a pyramid shape. Then burn incense three times in front of the stone, and turn the paper into nine taels.
At the end, Tian Fusheng knelt in front of the stone, cut the index finger of his left hand with the eighteen chops of the dragon flying tiger, dripped blood on the three gravels, and read in his mouth: "Disciple Tian Fusheng respectfully tells the ghosts and gods of the ten directions, build a bridge and open the way, and the merit is immeasurable!" ”
This little ritual is "three officials asking for directions". The three pieces of gravel represent the three officials: the upper is the heavenly official, the lower left is the earth official, and the lower right is the water official. As for what to ask and how to ask, only Tian Fusheng knows the trick.
Tian Fusheng closed his eyes and muttered to himself for a while, and Long Feihu and Wang Ziheng didn't understand what he said. After a while, a yin wind poured into the cave, and it was so cold that Wang Ziheng and Long Feihu had goosebumps.
The gloomy wind suddenly rolled into a long dragon and drilled straight into the stone slab at the soles of the three people's feet.
When the yin wind dissipated, Tian Fusheng got up and said to the two: "The road is under your feet!" ”
"Hammer! There is a road under our feet, and we will still be at a loss here? Long Feihu was obviously dissatisfied with Tian Fusheng's answer.
Tian Fusheng spread his hands: "That's no way, that's what Master Zu said." ”
As they were talking, the three of them suddenly heard a slight noise, creaking, a bit like the sound of rubbing between stones.
With the sound, the entire stone chamber shook, and the soles of everyone's feet were numb, and they could feel a clear sense of falling.
