Chapter 16 Jingmen
After I landed, I found that I didn't seem to have fallen injured, but the second master under me kept screaming, I hurriedly rolled to the side, holding my head and lying on the ground, closing my eyes, my head was still buzzing, Yuanmei first helped up the second master, and the two of them worked together to help me up, just stood up, blood and gas surged, and there was an irrepressible fishy smell in my throat, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out directly.
Yuanmei hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help me wipe it, not only the mouth, but also a piece of blood when I wiped my nose, I shook it and almost fell to the ground, the second master hurriedly supported me from behind, I took my hand down, only to hear the second master shout: "This, why is there blood in this ear?" ”
Under the command of Yuan Mei, the second master slowly lowered me to the ground, and at this time my mind was groggy, in addition to the big eyes of Chunxiang when she was leaving, it was Lei Yuhao's big mouth.
Yuanmei took out the kettle and poured me a few sips, the water was cold and moist, straight to the heart and lungs, and lay down for a while, feeling better, so with the support of the second master, she slowly stood up and looked at the surrounding environment.
A row of torches inserted on the wall of the well, everything in front of you flickered and darkened, this well is really big enough, more than a dozen people lying side by side are not crowded, a person is more than a person wide, half a person is more than a person high black stone, from bottom to top, all the way up to touch, touch with your hand, the stone is cold and damp, it turns out that this black is caused by water vapor.
There are seven holes in front of us that are wide and wide, and from the outside, the seven holes are exactly the same in size and style, and the inside is pitch black, and it is impossible to see the whole hole.
The second master saw that I could go, so he sat on the hemp rope that had been coiled into a ball, grinning and rubbing his waist, it seems that the fall just now was not light, no wonder, I raised my head up, roughly measured, this is nearly a zhang and a half high from the wellhead, think about it, he should have borrowed the hemp rope around him to reduce his strength when he fell, otherwise it would not be as simple as back pain.
Yuanmei was carefully looking at each hole with a compass, and I slowly walked over to her and asked, "What are these holes for?" ”
While she was looking, she said with a little anxiety: "If my judgment is correct, these seven holes are repaired according to the layout of Qimen Dunjia, and they correspond to the eight doors of Qimen's "life, death, rest, injury, shock, scenery, Du, and opening", but there are only seven holes here, and I am afraid that the hole that is less is the life gate." ”
"Then where should the ancient jade be?" ”
"I think these holes should all lead to one place, but some of them are fatal and life-threatening, and some are thrilling. ”
I am not unfamiliar with this thing Qimen Dunjia, I have seen it in the woods outside Hongjia Town, and later Uncle Nine also explained the principle to me, but at that time I met flowers and trees, strange peaks and strange stones, very intuitive, although I got lost, but there is no danger, this place is completely different, not to mention being in the underground of the ghost town, the stone slab engraved with patterns or charms on it, and Lei Yuhao's move of giving up the ancient jade to close the cover immediately, is enough to make me shudder, Besides, these seven holes are exactly the same length, if you choose the wrong one, plunge into it, as Yuanmei said, it is nine deaths and one life.
Afraid of interfering with Yuanmei's judgment, I took a step back slightly, looking at her quietly, she stared at the compass, pinched her fingers and calculated, and said silently: "Yin and Yang are difficult to be poor, and the second to return to the hometown is one and nine palaces." If you can reach the yin and yang principles, heaven and earth are in the palm of your hand. ”
said that it was a silent recitation, but it was too quiet here, and the voice echoed clearly all around, and suddenly I heard the second master rubbing his waist behind him say: "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Zhan Chi You, Zhuolu has been suffering for many years, even dreaming of the gods to give talismans, and ascending the altar to sacrifice and cultivate sincerely, I said Commander Li, when is this time, why do you still have the heart to put this ancient poem on hold." ”
I saw Yuanmei looking at him with a shocked face, and said that my heart was broken, and I couldn't help but secretly complain about the second master, at this critical juncture, what are you messing with her, in case she miscalculates and enters a dead hole, but it is a pot.
hurriedly took the first step and pretended to complain to him: "You said you, Yuanmei recited poems to relieve emotions, and it seems that you will also be able to get it, there are seven holes here, and if you make a mistake, it may be a dead end, rub your waist well, and talk less nonsense." ”
The second master is also clever, and when he heard what I said, he smiled awkwardly and said, "That, I'm not in a hurry to get something, Commander Li, you can carry it, ah, don't worry, take your time, take your time." ”
"How do you know how to carry it?" "I didn't expect that I would be wrong, and the reason why Yuanmei was shocked was that the second master could also recite poems.
He was so embarrassed to ask this question, and said hesitantly: "This is taught by my old man when I was a child, our family is a child who can memorize, I don't know what it means, anyway, just follow the back, during the New Year, I will memorize, reward a big son, and I will not be punished for standing for half an hour, so one by one, it is backwards and streams, and I have not dared to forget it for so many years." ”
After hearing this, Yuan Mei lowered her head and whispered thoughtfully: "Liaobei Cui's family." ”
I cautiously asked, "What does this poem mean?" ”
The second master was also excited when he heard it, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Yes, Commander Li, what does this poem mean?" Why am I going to memorize it as a rarity? ”
Yuan Mei felt that her reaction was a little inappropriate, and cleared her throat and said, "I didn't mean that, but this is not a poem at all, this is called "Smoke Wave Fishing Song". ”
"Ah, it's a song, that's not unusual, my old man is the rarest to listen to the two-person turn, especially "The Great West Chamber", "Wang Second Sister Sifu", especially the opening hat. The second master seemed to be back in his childhood for a moment, and after speaking, he actually hummed and sang.
Yuan Mei ignored him, and then continued to say in his own words: "This "Smoke Wave Fishing Song" is said to have been made by the Northern Song Dynasty Tongren, and later added and deleted by Luo Tong in the Ming Dynasty. ”
After saying this, don't say it's me, the second master himself was stunned, and he couldn't speak for a long time, I asked leisurely: "Second master, your old man looked at feng shui in his early years?" ”
"It shouldn't be," the second master said a little vaguely.
Yuanmei didn't say any more, turned around and continued to look at the seven holes, the second master whispered to me: "Actually, the old man taught a lot back then, and I remember one more than this now, you listen, this city is full of personal conquests, a courtyard of mountains and rivers Yongle Ping, bald people come to Wenmo Garden, and half of the heroes return to their hometowns." North, north, ah, what's going on in the north? ”
"Hu Lu in the north is crippled, and the royal driver is peaceful." Yuan Mei lit a candle and looked at the second master with a meaningful look.
Yuan Mei looked at him a little embarrassed, and asked with a smirk, "Commander Li, how is it?" Which one shall we go into? ”
"There is really no door here, at present, this side should be the door of death, and the rest should be Hugh, Jing, Du, and injury, these two are open and surprised, according to my judgment, Hugh and open the second door, it should be a dead end, you see" said that she took the candle and stayed at each hole one by one for a few seconds, and sure enough, only at the two openings of Hugh and Kai, the flame of the candle did not move at all.
"I suggest to go to Jingmen, although Jingmen is the main murderer in the sixth and seventh palaces, but it is a bland one in the murder gate, and Du Men has the meaning of blockage, although there is a breeze inside, but in case you go to the end only to find that it is a dead end, waste of time and physical strength, not to mention, I even suspect that this Du Men is probably a loop, there is no end to the dead end, I have been in the master's study before, I have seen the sketch of this kind of structure." ”
Listening to me, the second master and I were all confused, simply didn't say a word, put things away, the hemp rope was too heavy, so I had to cut a section of the back on my body in case of emergency, and lit a torch, three people and two torches, and went straight to Jingmen.
As soon as they entered the cave, it was cloudy and windy, and there was a faint smell of corruption, and everyone walked forward cautiously.
This hole can accommodate two people in parallel, the whole is arched, the same as the outside, it is also made of stone piled up, the traces of knife and axe on the stone are very obvious, it seems that the process of construction is very hasty, even the time to polish is not there, think about it, it is already a god speed to build the Longchang Town above in a year, not to mention this complex underground passage.
Walking and walking, the second master couldn't help but sigh: "It can be built like this in a year, how many workers do you say you had to recruit at that time?" ”
Yuan Mei returned: "There won't be too many, besides, there is not even a village in this vicinity except Qiucheng, so it is impossible to find a large number of workers, in fact, the real original appearance of Longchang Town is much simpler, and most of the so-called houses are shelves built of a few logs." ”
"What do you mean?" Isn't it Longchang above? ”
"It's Longchang that's true, it's just a conjugation, including the fog outside the town, the fields, and everything we see, it's actually a conjugation. ”
"It's the same as the fox fairy's house in "Liao Zhai"? ”
"Well, almost, think about it, have you ever seen a cow in town?" ”
I remembered when she asked, indeed, even the fields are cultivated by hand, and I haven't seen cows, but I don't know why she asked this, but the second master was stunned for a moment, and suddenly retched, I asked her: "I haven't seen it, what does it matter?" ”
"Hmph, what's the matter, what's the sign of your Chunxiang restaurant?" ”
Before the word rice noodles could be exported, I remembered that the fox fairy used stones, earthworms and toads to turn into food and entertain scholars, and immediately retched, and said to the gloating Yuanmei while spitting: "You also ate a lot, why didn't you say it earlier." ”
"Don't worry, frogs can't kill people, toads can still be used in medicine, as long as they are cooked, they are all high-quality things." She said with a wicked smile.
"Oh my mother, Commander Li, next time, you just know about it yourself, don't talk about it after eating, I've vomited more than I've eaten in the past two days." The second master complained weakly.
When he said this, it reminded me of another thing, but it was not easy to speak, and he looked at Yuanmei's back hesitantly, and stopped talking, and Yuanmei seemed to have a back eye, and suddenly said without looking back: "If you have anything to say, just ask, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and we are most afraid of doubt." ”
I hurriedly organized the language in my head, thinking about how to speak so as not to embarrass her too much, and just after thinking about it, she opened her mouth, and she preemptively said, "It was Mr. Li who told me." ”
I had to say, "Ahhh
"The day you were arrested, Mr. Li tried to make me recover my memory, and told me everything, he said that the reason why Lei Yuhao was able to become the governor of the town was because he was ruthless with his heart, and it had nothing to do with who Gu Yu was in, whether it was a person or a ghost, anyone with a different heart would be punished, and there were a few loyal imps under him, who would spy on him at any time, so the ghosts did not dare to disobey, and after they came, they explained the situation outside to him, and they knew it reasonably, and begged him to take out the eight ancient jade to save the people from fire and water. But he killed everyone under the pretext of destroying the peace of the town, leaving only the commander of the army, that is, the pillar, erasing his memory, and playing with it in the palm of his hand, which caused the dissatisfaction of the ghosts. ”
"That's why Lotus, Chunxiang and Mr. Li are willing to help us?" ”
"Well, yes and no, there are personal grudges and public intentions among them, but Lei Yuhao didn't lie to us about something, once these two pieces of Eight Ancient Jade leave Longchang, they will definitely reconcile yin and yang, and they will also redo lonely souls and wild ghosts, wandering around." ”
I heard from Yuanmei's words that in fact, she was hiding a lot of things, and the reason why Chunxiang, Lotus and Mr. Li were willing to come to the rescue was not just for themselves, but she didn't want to say it, and I naturally didn't want to mention it again.
"Then he didn't tell you, how did we erase this memory?" ”
"The yin and yang arrangement here is not suitable for living people to live, once the living people come in, first of all, the yang energy will be greatly reduced, followed by your wine, according to Mr. Li, your wine put a thing called forget-worry grass, this is not the daylily that you usually eat, but a plant that grows in the ghostly ghost, it is said that there is this thing in the Meng Po soup, this thing has three petals, three leaves are long, three stamens are spit, the whole plant is exactly the pole of nine, the so-called ninety-nine to one, if people take nine days in a row, they can erase all memories, the past and this life, never remember. ”
"Huh? Is there really a problem with my family's wine? So how can we still remember? ”
"Lotus Flower, if it weren't for Lotus's kindness, it is estimated that we would have been killed by your ecstasy decoction, and we would still complain about my beef powder." "I think of the battle between beef noodles and soju before, and I feel the thrill of winning a game.
"Don't mention your toad powder, I'm still sick and panicked." ”
"Shhhh There seems to be something up ahead! ”
