Chapter 57: The Fishbone Temple
The next day, we got up early in the morning, packed up our things and went to the "Longling" behind the village, according to what we heard yesterday, we went out of the village and turned two mountain beams to look for the "Fishbone Temple".
The two mountain beams are simple, the straight-line distance may be very short, when you really walk up, it is really not easy, it was already dark yesterday to here, the surrounding environment is not clear, then then the dawn looks around, one by one the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the fragmented soil plain, the earth beam, the soil ridge, the soil ditch towers all around.
Although it is not the Loess Plateau, it is affected by the yellow flood, there is a large amount of yellow hard mud on the surface, and the wind is the carving knife of the Creator, cutting and carving the original rolling mountains, forming countless ravines and wind tunnels, and the ditches in some places are terrifyingly deep.
The natural environment here is harsh, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the wind blows through the ravine, whining, like a ghost wailing, the mountain beam is full of large and small caves, deep and bottomless, in the distance, it looks like the hillside is covered with black scabs.
We walked for nearly three hours, and finally found the "Fishbone Temple" in a ravine, which was more dilapidated than we imagined, we heard that the incense of this Dragon King Temple had been broken for decades, and we had some psychological preparations in advance.
"Fish Bone Temple" has only one temple, and there is no distinction between advancing and backward, the east and west chambers, the temple gate has long been gone, but finally saw the skull of the iron-headed dragon kingfish, and the fish mouth is the temple gate.
The fat man knocked on the sapper shovel, and it made a loud noise, this bone was really hard enough, we looked carefully, and saw that the fish skull was definitely an unusual fish bone, although there was no flesh and skin, it still made people feel hideous and ugly, we had never seen this kind of fish, it was not a whale or an ordinary river fish, it was so big that it was frightening, so that people did not dare to look at it.
The clay statue of the dragon lord in the temple has long been gone, and the ground beams are full of dust and cobwebs, but inside, it is not clear that the beams are made of fish bones, and it is estimated that the fish bones are sealed in the bricks.
The walls have not completely peeled off, and they can barely make out that there are four big characters on them, "Wind and rain", and there are several nests of small rats on the ground.
We didn't dare to delay too much in the temple of the Fishbone Temple, this ruined temple may collapse at any time, and a strong wind may tear off the roof.
In front of the temple gate, the big gold tooth said that this kind of fish bone built the dragon king temple, there are several in the coastal area, it is indeed not common in the mainland, there is such a one in Tianjin Jinghai during the Republic of China, it is also a big fish died on the shore, there are good people who paid to build the dragon king temple with fish bones, the incense is extremely prosperous, and then the temple was destroyed in the early seventies, and then it has never been seen again.
I looked at the terrain of the "Fishbone Temple" in this ravine, and said with a smile: "If the location of this fishbone temple is at the feng shui level, I will go back and burn my book "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique". ”
The fat man asked, "Isn't this place good?" The wind is blowing, and the wind of feng shui is there, huh...... It's a little short of water, and if there's a small river, it's almost a treasure of feng shui. ”
I said: "The place to build a temple and repair a temple is to pay attention to another set of temples than to build a tomb in a house, the temple is for the benefit of one party, you can't just find a place to build, the place where the temple is built must be the star peak, Mingshan Hall, in addition to this fishbone temple, have you seen the temple in the ditch?" Even the land temple can't be built in such a deep ravine, as the so-called: there is a hidden heart in the valley, and it can't stand in the face when it pierces the heart. ”
The big golden tooth asked, "Master Hu, what did you mean by the last sentence you just said?" Is it said that it is not good to build temples in the valley? ”
I nodded and said: "Yes, you see these ravines and ravines, like dragons and snakes, how can the surrounding mountains be barren, no tent and no protection, it is not a situation, plus there are deep in the mountains, the yin qi is also heavy, if the vegetation of this mountain range is dense, and it is slightly better, it is called the hidden fairy in the tent with flying, and the hidden protection is deep and the lord is prosperous, this broken ravine, according to the principle of ancient Chinese feng shui, not to mention repairing the temple, it is not suitable to bury people, so I conclude that there is a problem with this temple, it must be used by the gold school guards to cover the inverted bucket, and it is not surprising to see it today." ”
The fat man said: "If you want to say that it is to cover people's eyes and ears, you can't make such a move, I think it's enough to build a grass hut, and then there are people in this ditch, at most occasionally come to herd sheep, I heard the people in the village say, after this beam is the Longling maze, which is very evil, usually did not go at all, so I am afraid that there are not many sheep here." ”
I said: "I'm afraid this is mainly to win the trust of the locals, outsiders pay money to the local dragon temple to ensure that the wind and rain are smooth and peaceful, the locals will not be suspicious, if you come directly to the ravine to build a house, will it make people feel that the behavior is abnormal, a little inexplicable, what kind of house to build in the ravine?" This is easy to be suspected, it is better to say that this is the feng shui level, build a temple, so that it is deceptive, there used to be people who pretended to plant crops, planted green sand tents and then worked, it is a purpose, not to let others know. ”
After listening to my analysis, the big golden tooth and the fat man both agreed that it was indeed easier for outsiders to build a temple in a ravine than to build a house.
In fact, what the fat man said is not unreasonable, but you have to go up to the mountain beam to see the situation of the dragon ridge, in order to further judge the location of the ancient tomb, and the reason for building the temple here, I estimate that the fishbone temple in the ancient tomb will not be too far away, otherwise the amount of work to build the tunnel will be too large.
Now that I have finally arrived at the foot of Longling Slope, the two things I am most worried about are whether there is a big tomb in Longling, and now it seems that the answer should be absolutely yes.
The second thing is that this tomb is so big, and it has long been targeted by the fake merchant who built the fishbone temple, has he succeeded? It's hard to say, but looking at him doing this and operating like this, he must be determined to win.
But even if the ancient tomb of Longling has been turned upside down, I think we can also go in and visit and see how other masters are doing.
The rules of the Captain Jin are very strict, and if you open a bucket, you can only take one or two things, and if you have more, you will break the rules, look at this master who repairs the Fishbone Temple, since he can find a big tomb in Longling that many people can't find, he must be a veteran.
The more veteran the master, the more important these rules are, and sometimes even the rules of the industry are more important than life, but I'm afraid no one cares about these fine traditions now, and the current people are almost the same as the Japanese devils back then, and basically implement the three-light policy everywhere.
We circled around the Fishbone Temple a few times, but we didn't find the location of the tunnel, it seems that it is extremely hidden, not easy to find, and it may even be completely sealed after the Captain has done his work.
The big gold tooth asked if I could see the specific location of the ancient tomb, and I said that I couldn't see it in the ditch, and I had to climb to the mountain beam and look condescendingly to see it.
The big gold tooth eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles on weekdays, and his health is not very good, and he can't stand the long journey, and he is tired when he walks to the fishbone temple, and he has to climb up the mountain beam and then climb back, which is really unbearable, I let him and the fat man stay in the fishbone temple, find out if there is a tunnel nearby, and tell them that if they enter the temple, they must be cautious and cautious, and do not be smashed into it.
I myself climbed up the hillside, hand and foot, and it didn't take long to climb to the top of the mountain beam, only to see that the ravines under the beam were vertical and horizontal, and the earth seemed to have been pinched by someone, forming a series of wrinkles, high and low, and the terrain was very complicated.
The general characteristics of Shaanxi landform are high in the north and south, low in the middle, high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and it is inclined from west to east. The north is the Loess Plateau, the south is the Qinba Mountains, and the central part is the Guanzhong Plain.
Due to the continuation of the Qinling Mountains in this area, there is a rare piece of low hills, these ridges are not too high, if you look at it from a high place, you may feel like a scar on the earth.
I set up a pergola with my hand, carefully distinguish the shape of the mountains in front of me, Longling is really worthy of its name, the leylines are vertical and horizontal, the branches rise together, and the dragon is looking for the trick of saying: there are 100 mountains and rivers, and the dragon tower treasure hall goes to countless people.
There is a very deep hidden "Dragon Tower Treasure Palace" in this Dragon Ridge, the situation follows, gathers crowds and circles, these undulating mountains are among the "Dragon Tower Treasure Palace" to present the potential. The dragon "potential" here is not the kind of "potential" that can bury the emperor, the "potential" of the emperor's mausoleum needs to be stable and healthy, like the kind of famous mountains towering, large rivers circulation, with high strangulation, majestic in the world.
If the situation can be buried in the country, such as the queen, the queen mother, the princess, the prince and other royal relatives, buried here, can make the imperial family prosperous and stable, the court is peaceful and tranquil, to put it bluntly, it is similar to living in your own backyard.
However, this "potential" has been broken by the natural environment, cut by wind and rain, earthquakes and landslides, soil erosion in this area is very serious, the surface is broken, and it is no longer the weather of the year.
Even so, it can be seen at a glance that this Longlou Treasure Hall in the Longling Mountains is under the mountain beam where I am standing, which is a hillside that has been greatly damaged by the natural environment, and all the nearby mountains and ravines are extended from this hill, and the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty must be in the belly of this mountain.
