Trap

I stood on the ridge of the mountain, looked at the undulating qi veins of the mountains and rivers, wrote down the possible location of the ancient tomb, marked the distance, and then turned to look at the fat man and the big gold tooth on the other side.

The two of them were looking for a hole in the fishbone temple when I put my finger to my mouth and whistled loudly at the fat man and the big gold tooth.

When the fat man heard the voice, he raised his head and shrugged his shoulders at me, indicating that he had not found the entrance to the thief cave, and then lowered his head and continued to search, turning the fishbone temple inside and out over and over again.

It's easy to go up the mountain, it's hard to go down, I looked at the place where I climbed up, it was too steep, it was difficult to go down the same way, one by one, and I saw that on the hillside not far from my left hand, it was eroded by wind and rain, and a large piece of the dirt slope had fallen down, and it would be easier to go down from there.

So I walked a little to the left along the ridge, stepping on the collapsed lump of earth and slowly descending, this section of the slope was still difficult to stand on, and it was slippery as soon as I stepped on it, and I saw that there was a slightly flat place nearby where I could settle down, so I jumped over it.

I didn't expect that after standing still, I just walked out of two steps, and my feet suddenly sank, and my lower body fell down instantly.

I heard the people in the nearby village say that this snake slope is full of this kind of trapping hole, I thought that this edge area is safe, I can't think of carelessness, at this time my waist has been completely sunken in the soil hole, I know in my heart, at this time must not struggle, the geological structure here is similar to the quicksand of the desert, the difference is that there is less sand, more fine soil, the more you struggle hard, want to climb out by yourself, the faster you fall, in this case, you can only wait for rescue, if you are alone, you have to wait for death.

After I was stuck in the crust, I tried not to let my body move, and I didn't even feel breathing, but I was afraid that if I made a slight movement, I would fall into it again, and if it passed my chest, it would be a big trouble.

I gently supported my hands to keep the force on my body evenly, waited for more than ten seconds, and saw that I was no longer falling down, so I took the whistle from my neck with one free hand, put it to my mouth, and prepared to blow the whistle to beckon the fat man to come and help.

But blowing the whistle requires a lot of strength in the chest and abdomen, I am now in a delicate balance of power, my body does not dare to move slightly, otherwise this soil slope may collapse at any time, burying me alive in it, of course, it is not necessary to fall into it will be buried alive, the following may be a large karst cave, and more unfortunate is to fall into half of it, I can't see the sky, I can't see the ground, I can't suffocate to death, the taste can be really uncomfortable.

This idea turned in my mind, and I still decided to blow the whistle, otherwise when the fat man and the two of them remembered me, his mother's cucumber dishes were cold, and I hope they will come to help as soon as they hear it, otherwise I Lao Hu will really return to his place this time, and I have experienced no less wind and waves, and I really don't want to die in this dirt slope like this.

I blew the whistle, my chest and abdomen moved slightly, my body exhaled, and I sank into a piece again, just squeezing my chest, and it became more and more difficult to breathe, if I buried a person alive, I usually didn't need to bury it on the top of my head, and I suffocated to death when I passed through my chest.

This is the situation I am in now, with my hands stretched out, obviously holding it uncomfortable, but I don't feel struggling, this moment is a time to test a person's endurance, I try to keep myself calm, I must not try to crawl out with my arms because my chest is so stuffy that I am about to suffocate, that I will die faster.

For my current situation, a second is longer than a year, him***, why don't the fat people come over, if they don't hear the whistle, then I'll be here.

Just as I was holding back my breath and thinking wildly, I saw the fat man and the big gold tooth, slowly and leisurely, talking and laughing from below.

When they saw me, they were all astonished, and they threw off their legs and ran over, and the fat man untied the rope locks he was carrying while running, and he was carrying a bamboo basket, and the two big white geese in it were frightened by the sudden acceleration of the fat man, and they screamed loudly.

The fat man and the big golden tooth were afraid that there would be crusts nearby, so they didn't dare to get too close, but they stopped a dozen paces away, threw the rope over, and I finally grabbed the straw that saved my life, and pulled the rope twice in my hand.

Both sides worked together to pull me out of the crust, and when I came up, my legs completely crushed the whole crust, revealing a large hole in the hillside, and the crumbs of earth continued to fall into it.

I gasped for breath, unscrewed the kettle, poured a few sips, poured all the rest of the water on my head, wiped it on my face with my hands, and looked back at the collapsed soil hole behind me.

The fat man lit a cigarette for me to suppress the shock, I was shocked, took two puffs of cigarette, choked myself and coughed, this experience is different from the past, life and death were in an instant before, there was no time to be afraid, this time it was the grim reaper slowly approaching step by step, there is no more tormenting nerves in the world.

My three souls and seven spirits have probably flown two souls and six spirits, and it took a full twenty minutes for my two souls and six spirits to slowly come back.

When the big golden tooth and the fat man saw that my face was white, they did not dare to speak, and after a while, when they saw that my eyes were no longer straight, they asked me how I was.

I nodded, asked the fat man to bring the liquor, and took a few sips of the wine, which was considered a complete recovery.

The three of us went to see the dirt hole I had just stepped on, and the big gold tooth asked, "Could this be a thief hole?" ”

I said: "No, the edge of the cave is not so scattered, this is the result of the erosion of the karst cave in the mountain, there is only an empty shell left outside the mountain, some places are thin, some places are thick, it seems that the scale of the karst cave under the dragon mountain is really not small." ”

I told them what I had just seen on the ridge, and there must be a large tomb in the mountain over there, and the straight-line distance from the fishbone temple was about a kilometer or so.

If there is a robbery hole in the Fishbone Temple leading to the ancient tomb, this distance and direction are completely reasonable, and it is not difficult for a master to hit a one-kilometer robbery hole, but it just takes some more time.

The fat man asked: "This man is full of food, since he can see the specific location of the ancient tomb, why do he still go so far to make holes?" ”

I said to the fat man: "This senior who built the fishbone temple is far better than you, he naturally has his reasons, I guess it is because he wants to enter the underground palace from below." ”

The big gold tooth said, "Oh? Going in from below? Isn't it because the surrounding area of this tomb is too strong and sturdy, and I can't know where to start, so I have to go up from the bottom? I've heard that this trick is called the top palace. ”

I said: "It should be like this, the Tang Dynasty built a mausoleum in the mountains, and the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, the national strength was solid, the crown of the world, the mausoleum must be built extremely strong, the underground palace is built with large stones, reinforced by cast iron strips, it is difficult to break through the tomb wall and enter." However, no matter how the ancient tomb is repaired, it is not a seamless egg, any mausoleum has a void, from the perspective of feng shui, this is to collect the wind and gather qi, if there is no such void in the tomb, no matter how good the treasure cave of feng shui is useless. ”

The fat man asked, "Just leave a back door?" ”

I said: "No, in order to maintain the shape and potential of the feng shui level, so that the feng shui treasure is fixed, the hall of the mausoleum can not be secret, it needs to gather qi and have melting, the general mausoleum's figurine or apse is the place of melting qi, that kind of place can not be sealed too solidly, otherwise it is not good for the lord." ”

In addition, there is a saying that large mausoleums are similar to palaces, and when they are finally sealed, in order to keep the secrets in the dungeon, they have to suffocate the last group of craftsmen inside, and those experienced craftsmen, in the process of the project, will leave a way back for themselves, and secretly repair a secret road, which is often under the underground palace.

However, this kind of escape secret road secretly built by craftsmen for themselves has no basis in feng shui at all, and it can be repaired as much as it is hidden, which has a great impact on the pattern of the mausoleum, but it can never be banned.

Therefore, when encountering this kind of tomb with strong and abnormal walls, after the captains of the touching gold school talked about the situation, they would choose to start from below.

The three of us discussed it a little, and felt that it was worth spending effort to go into the Longling Tomb for a trip, because the location of this tomb is very special, and the mountain situation is no longer the old appearance of the year.

First of all, the Fishbone Temple Cave is only a few decades ago, there will not be much change, even if there is a collapsed place in the middle, we dig a short road to bypass it, and secondly, there is a trapped man's crust on the Dragon Ridge, walking in the ridge, there is a certain danger, I just ran into it, almost suffocated inside, we should try to avoid danger.

At the moment, the plan has been decided, then turn back to the fishbone temple, the fat man and the big gold tooth have been looking for a long time, has not found any robbery hole, this temple is not built by the mountain or water, and there is no pattern, it is extremely difficult to judge the location of the thief hole from the appearance, this robbery hole is too important to us, all the inferences I made, the premise is that the fishbone temple is built by the captain of the gold.

I suddenly had an idea, and beckoned to the fat man and the big gold tooth: "Let's take a look at the altar where the clay statue of the Dragon King was placed before, if there is a thief hole, it is very likely to be hidden under the altar." ”
