And as a high school student, in this era when it is forbidden to take the university entrance examination, I can only obey the leader's arrangement to go to the countryside.

My name is Yu Guosheng, and this name means that the country has raised us and served the country in our lifetime.

In this era when they could not go on to higher education, most of the students basically chose the path of going to the countryside, which is in line with Grandpa Mao's statement that "it is necessary for intellectual young people to go to the countryside and accept the re-education of poor and middle peasants". I was born in Inner Mongolia, but I was assigned to Zhuhai Village in Jiang'an County, Yibin, Sichuan.

Sitting in a bumpy truck, bored, I was looking at a worn-out book "Burner, Ride Angry Also." The yin and yang qi of the husband is the wind, the rise is the clouds, and the rain is the rain. He walks in the earth and is angry, and he begets all things. People are shocked by their parents, and their bodies are shaded. Cover the living, the gathering and condensation of qi, the knot into bones, death and alone, so the burial, anti-qi into the inside, the law of the shade is also... ”

This broken book is the only thing left by my grandfather, I heard my father say, my grandfather's only hobby in this life is to collect this type of books and antiquities, but those things left behind were basically burned by those Red Guards in the era of the four olds. The only {funeral book} was saved by my dad by using toilet paper in the latrine.

Because I studied history quite well when I was in school, I know a little bit about the general origin of this book. The Book of Burial, written by Guo Pu, a famous scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is a book about the theory of Feng Shui metaphysics. What is recorded in it are some yin and yang feng shui, and the method of dividing gold and setting acupoints.

When it comes to feng shui, I have to talk about my grandfather, when my grandfather was young, they were a well-known feng shui master, and whoever died would come to him and ask him to help choose a place to be buried, that is, to choose a cave.

In 1928, it was an era of warlord melee, and my grandfather, who was originally living a comfortable life, was taken by Sun Dianying, the commander of the 12th Army of the National Army, because he was famous in Shili and Eight Townships, and was brought to the army as a small adjutant. In that year, Sun Dianying was stationed in Malanyu, Jixian County, Hebei Province, when Sun Dianying's troops were stationed near the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, so in the name of military exercises, they sent a guard around the mausoleum and sealed it tightly. Because my grandfather had some attainments in feng shui, Sun Dianying ordered my grandfather to find the entrances to the two mausoleums.

While stealing Cixi's tomb, my grandfather and a team of soldiers also found the entrance to Emperor Qianlong's Yuling. But during this period, a very strange thing happened. There are Qianlong buried in Yuling, as well as 6 people such as the queen concubine, after the heavy coffin of Qianlong was placed on the stone bed, in order to determine the feng shui line, calibrate the direction of the most prosperous dragon vein, the heavy Longshan stone was placed around the coffin. They successfully opened the first few doors, but after reaching the last door, they couldn't open it. In the absence of a way, the door was blown open directly, and after the door was blown open, everyone was surprised to find that several other coffins were on the stone bed, but Qianlong's own coffin walked down from the stone bed and topped the stone door they blew up.

Of course, these are all things that my grandfather told my father, and my father told me, and I have never seen such strange things that cannot be explained.

Anyway, they stole the two ancient tombs, and what exactly was dug up, Dad didn't say, just said that Grandpa secretly escaped from where he was.

"Everyone's ready, pack your things, we're going to be there soon." A pleasant voice interrupted my train of thought, and it was a girl in her 20s who was very delicate. I remember that when she was called by name before coming, she seemed to be called Xia Ying.

I packed up my household items and clothes, put the worn-out book in my backpack, and staggered to the back.

"I said Leader Xia, how long will it take, this shaky all the way, the intestines are shaken and knotted."

She gave me a blank look, "Comrade Xiaoyu, I've been here for so long, I don't care about this little meeting, I saw that the slope in front of me was not, and I arrived after crossing that slope." She pointed to the large dirt slope ahead

A few days of travel all the way stop-and-go, every day in addition to chatting and reading is to sleep, finally arrived, I feel a little excited.

It didn't take long for us to arrive at Zhuhai Village, which is not a particularly large village, with its back against the mountain, it is estimated that it is a twenty or thirty family, and there are a lot of villagers around the entrance of the village, led by an old man of about 70, wearing a green old military uniform, standing straight with a cane, it seems that he was also a soldier when he was young.

After he saw our group coming, he took a few steps forward, saluted the head of the army who escorted us with a standard military salute, and said excitedly, "Hello chief, my name is Niu Tiande, I am the village chief of Zhuhai Village, and I welcome your arrival on behalf of all the villagers of Zhuhai Village." After saying this, his tears of excitement were about to fall.

The chief who came with him hurriedly stepped forward to support the village chief Niu, "Oh, the old village chief, they are all doing things for the party, this is what we should do, no, you see, these young people from various provincial cities are here to learn from our toiling peasants." As he spoke, the chief gestured to a group of us standing behind.

"Yes, yes, even Chairman Mao said, let us come to the countryside to receive the education of our vast number of farmers, since Chairman Mao said so, then we will definitely learn a lot of things" Xia Ying said loudly.

"Yes, yes, that's right." A group of people responded in the back.

After greeting everyone happily, the village chief asked the village leaders to arrange for us to go to the place where we were staying.

When we came here, we basically worked in the fields with the villagers every day, that is, let us experience the revolutionary spirit of hard labor of the poor and middle peasants, transform our class thinking, and let our ideology be thoroughly integrated into society.

After working here for more than a month, I will go to the big river outside the village, on the other side of the river is a dense bamboo forest, surrounded by mountains, as I saw from the funeral book, so I will come here every day to observe the terrain here.

"Guosheng, what are you doing, it's almost time to eat, you are still there in a daze" touched her forehead helplessly, I know that Xia Ying is here, we have become very good friends after getting along for more than a month, she is a cheerful girl, and she has a curious attitude towards everything, and she should have said something about feng shui for me to inadvertently help Aunt Li's family in the village to see the grave, so because of her curiosity, she pestered me every day to ask me about this topic, just like that, We slowly became good friends.

Seeing that she waved at me over there, I replied unhurriedly, "Okay, okay, I know, I'll come" shrugged her head and walked towards Xia Yingxiang's village.

The food in Sichuan has not changed much, the only thing is spicy, especially spicy, all of which are some millet peppers and wild peppers grown by the people in the village, which is a kind of torture for me, who is not particularly fond of eating chili peppers.

After dinner, Xia Ying took me for a walk with her, but she was envious of the young people who came together, and the rare beauties in the team were with me, and they were all annoyed.

"Guosheng, where do you go in a daze every day, what are you doing? Is it about feng shui, tell me about it. She began to chatter next to me and started to talk without playing,

"I said Comrade Xia Ying, what age is it now, and I still talk about these feng shui superstitions," I glanced at her and said with a straight face.

She pinched me hard, "Hmph, you still say I'm that?" You've gone to help people look at the cemetery, are you embarrassed to say me? She was a little upset.

"Okay, okay, don't pinch, the meat will fall off when you pinch it, I'll tell you it's not okay," I said quickly after pulling my arm out of her magic grasp.

I stretched out my hand and pointed to the mountains across the river, "Look at these mountains, what do they look like?" ”

Xia Ying scratched her head, "What is it, it's a mountain, it's not strange." She pouted.

"You see, it's useless to tell you, you still have to ask, do you see the highest mountain, shaped like a head, such a terrain is called a auxiliary star in feng shui, and then you are looking at the peaks below him, the peaks are listed, like a group of worshipping subjects. The big river in front is the water mouth, the water mouth is heavily locked, it can be seen that its spirit is quite different from the mountains, it should be that the emperor is bent down, such a terrain is called the wall in feng shui. ”

After listening to my words, Xia Ying looked carefully at the side of the mountain, "Hey, it's really like you said, what's the use of such a feng shui bureau?" ”

"Is this constant, the ancient feng shui masters have such a passage. Supplemented by the prime minister and the second minister, the second general of the Polu guard, the Wenqu is clearly a harem, and the Wuqu greedy wolf emperor is like a star. There is also the most noble giant gate, it is not delusional to call the polar star, each of the three walls has a wall inner star, and all the wall stars are introverted. ”

"Can you be clear? There are things like literary songs and martial arts songs, and I am confused. Xia Ying hammered my shoulder and said.

"Okay, well, that is to say, the stars on both sides of the wall have the upper phase, the second phase, the guard, the young guard, the general, the general, the general, etc., there is a harem in the middle, the emperor star, etc., can not be listed, as for the image of each star, the prime minister is the auxiliary star type, the secondary phase is the Bi star type, the upper guard and the young guard are the Polu shape, the general will be the Lian Zhen shape, the harem is the Wenqu shape, the emperor star is the martial arts, the greedy wolf and the giant gate shape In short, the three walls each have their own stars in the wall, and all the stars in the wall must be towards the emperor star in the middle." I explained it to him sentence by sentence, but it turned out that she still didn't seem to understand, and before she could continue to ask, I said again, "Like this kind of terrain, it is generally called Yuanchi in feng shui, to put it simply, this kind of cave is generally the topography of the town and the state, and now there is no state, so such a terrain is very likely to be used to bury the cemetery of the emperor's relatives." ”

Xia Ying covered her mouth in surprise, looked at me, and then looked at the direction of the bamboo forest in the distance, and stammered, "Then you, then you mean that there are ancient royal tombs in the bamboo forest in front?" ”

"It's possible, it's impossible that such a terrain won't be discovered by others, after all, I also saw it in a book, and I'm not sure if it's or not." I sighed and shook my head

"Guosheng, let's go to the village chief and ask." Xia Ying said eagerly,

"I think I'd better forget it, maybe I misread that," I shook my head. "Let's go back, it's not too late for the day, let's go back and rest,"

After staring at the mountains and forests in front of me for a while, I pulled the chattering Xia Yingxiang Village and walked towards it.
