On this day, I was practicing boxing by the bamboo forest, and my godfather came back from outside and said, "Don't practice today, come with me"

I asked my godfather where he was going, and the godfather replied while packing up his things, "I've been practicing for so long, I'll take you to a place." ”

Once in town, we got into a van that headed for the mountains. Along the way, I asked my godfather, "Why are these place names weird?" ”

"That's a name translated from the Yi dialect," replied the godfather, pointing to some people wearing strange headdresses passing by in the distance, and introduced to me: "You see, these are ethnic minorities who live in the mountains. ”

"Yes, that's the costume of our Yi people. A villager in the back row of the car said, and then asked the godfather: "Big brother, are you going to collect fungi?" ”

"I went to the village to collect some medicinal herbs, the doll is on vacation, and by the way, I will take him out to dig some herbs." The godfather patted me on the shoulder and replied.

At this time, the driver said: "Although the mountain is poor, there are many fungi and medicinal herbs. Then he said: "There are many dogs in the stockade, you should be careful, you will not be able to row if you are bitten." ”

"It's okay, I've been here a few times," the godfather replied.

The old watch of the Yi nationality said to me again: "Young man, is it the first time to go up the mountain with your father?" We have a big mountain and dense forests, don't run around, don't be caught by the big-eared monster. ”

"Big-eared monsters? I was a little curious.

The old cousin of the Yi nationality pretended to be mysterious and said: "Legend has it that we have a family here, and they can't give birth to children in their thirties, and one day the two of them go to work in the fields, which is also strange, and there is a two or three-year-old white and chubby child sitting on the edge of the barren mountains and mountains." I thought that it was the mother who sent the child to pity them for not having children, so she sent them to them, so she took the child back home. At night, the woman heard movement in the hall, got up and quietly checked, only to see the child in the hall constantly pulling his ears, and the ears became bigger and bigger, until at last they were big enough to wrap their whole body and stop. The mother-in-law screamed in fright, and the cry alarmed the child, and the child flew towards the mother-in-law. At this time, the man also woke up, and when he came out of the house, he saw that the mother-in-law had fallen in a pool of blood, and a monster was wrapping her head around her with its big ears and biting it. The man picked up the pole and went to the monster, and the monster howled bitterly, looked at the man with resentment, and smashed through the door and fled quickly. Since then, there have been frequent cases of lost children in the area. ”

At this time, the driver smiled and said, "Don't listen to him, young man." He said it was a local story about scaring children, and we all heard it when we were kids. ”

The old cousin of the Yi nationality felt that he had lost face, and he was not convinced: "Then I will tell you the truth." ”

"There was a midwife who was about to go to bed one night when she heard a knock on the door. When I opened the door, there was a man leading a donkey standing outside the door. The man said that it was from a neighboring village, and the mother-in-law at home was going to give birth and asked the midwife to help. The midwife cleaned up and rode on a donkey and went with him. When I arrived at the place, I was busy for most of the day and finally delivered the child, and the family took some money and two pieces of bacon and urged the midwife to hurry back, and the midwife thought to herself that "how can I just urge people to go after helping", but she still took something and sat on the donkey. At this time, I heard several rooster crows in the distance. The midwife suddenly felt that something was blinding. When she opened her eyes and looked closely, she immediately felt creepy, but she found herself in a mass grave, riding a long wooden bench under her, and holding a stack of paper money and two bones in her hand. ”

"The midwife returned home trembling, and died within a few days due to excessive fright. His son was so angry that he took a hoe and found a mass grave according to the location that the midwife said, and when he passed a cliff on the way back, he was pushed by something and fell off the cliff and died. It was later discovered that he had two black children's palm prints on his back. ”

"So mysterious? Old watch, I'm afraid you're lying when you tell this story, right? Godfather said with a smile.

"Of course it's true. Seeing that some people were questioning, the old Yi people said loudly: "When I collected the body of my midwife's son, my grandfather also went, and there were really two black handprints on his back. Seeing that we still didn't believe it, he said, "It's a pity that my grandfather died, otherwise listening to him would be terrifying......"

The car continued to travel on the mountain road, and I don't know how long it took, I was a little drowsy, and suddenly heard my godfather say, "Master, please stop, let's get off here." ”

"Huh? Are you sure you want to play here? It's still a few kilometers away from the village. "The driver had some doubts, but he stopped the car.

"Don't worry, it's not far." The godfather said while packing his backpack: "It's still early, let's dig herbs along the way, and get to the village before dark." ”

"Then you should be careful, the road is not easy to walk. ”

Watching the van leave, my godfather took me along the path next to the highway to touch the mountain. The mountain road is difficult to walk, but my physical strength has improved by leaps and bounds under the exercise of my godfather in the past few years, and I don't feel too difficult to follow him with a backpack.

"Look, this is the Xiangtian Tomb of the Yi people. "When I came to a mountain beam, my godfather pointed to a pile of rocks and introduced it to me.

It was a large circular mound made of three rings of stone, and there were many similar small mound scattered around it, apparently some years old, and the mound had collapsed a little on all sides. I took a closer look, and there was nothing special about it, except for a notch on the top of the third unit facing the sky.

"Godfather, what we're looking for is in there?" ”

"Hehe" the godfather joked with a smile: "Most of the Yi people are cremated, and those notches are used to hold clay pots containing ashes. Except for some clay pots and jars, there is probably nothing in it. ”

I was a little discouraged and said, "Then why have we walked so far here?" ”

"It's not useless, follow me." My godfather took me to a wild bamboo forest behind the mountain beam, and explained as he walked: "Don't look at the barren mountains and mountains here, this neighborhood was a gathering place for the Southwest Yi (Yi ancestors) during the Three Kingdoms period, and later it should have been moved to the city by the Guanju clan. I've been here several times, and the nobles of the Southwest Yi also have burial customs, but there are no traces in this area, which is not normal. The last time I came here, I made some discoveries."

"Qingwa, I'll test you first, and see what's wrong with Feng Shui around here?" ”

I looked around, then observed the opposite mountain, and replied according to what was written in the book: "Here there are wild bamboos, the sun is shading, and although the backing mountains behind are strong, the front mountain range is not continuous, and if you can't keep it, it will be difficult to gather momentum." Not a good feng shui. ：“

"That's right, it seems that you have memorized all the feng shui knowledge taught you." The godfather approvingly, and then pointed to the mountain in front of him and said, "Look at it again, if the mountain in front of you has no notch, it is connected into a piece, and then all the wild bamboos around it are cut down, what pattern will it be?" ”

"The front is facing the Vermilion Bird, the back is leaning on the Xuanwu, the left and right hold the hole, and the surrounding is spiral-shaped, which can be the nest of the colorful phoenix. I thought about it for a moment and asked, "It's easy to cut bamboo, but the mountain in front of you can't be changed, right?" ”

The godfather nodded and said with a smile: "Here's the problem." Yunnan has a lot of rain, and for more than 1,000 years, it is very likely that there has been a mudslide on the opposite mountain, thus forming that huge notch, coupled with the extinction of people here, wild bamboo, which has completely changed the feng shui here. But before that, it's definitely a great feng shui treasure. ”

"If you guess correctly, this should be to look at the grave pile, six to watch the grave pile, and the guardian should be a noble lord" The godfather walked around a few inconspicuous mounds and said: "You come here, take the grave pile as the coordinates, and dig this side from the east side 30 meters." ”
