Chapter 439: The Beacon

The story of guarding a treasure is often found in novels or wild histories, but such stories are often true, and the person who guards them does not even know what he is guarding, which is a kind of faith, a kind of commitment to the ancestors. Cheng Lao Nong is such a person, from the time he was a child, his grandfather told him that the mountain behind him was something he had to protect with his life.

Cha Wenbin's experience in feng shui is not top-notch, but it is not so much that it is not an excellent location for a yin house, whether it is the terrain or the location, it is not an excellent location for a yin house, and it can not be a simple ancestral tomb mountain that can be guarded by a family for generations.

The vague shadows in the maple grove, the huge strips of stone, he believed were a ruins from their predecessors. He is a qualified listener, but by no means a suitable inquirer, he does not have the eloquence of Chaozi, more he is used to collecting information from the other party to judge, so many questions in his heart are not even mentioned a word.

The next morning, Dashan had a headache, and he only felt that two nerves near his temples were about to explode. When he saw the old man, he still shouted that he had a lot of energy to drink last night, and he never doubted that in the world of the mountains, as long as he could get close to Cha Wenbin, he must be a good person.

The old farmer cooked a bowl of black stuff and put it in a bowl for him to drink, saying that it was an antidote to hangover, Dashan poured it in one breath and suddenly felt that the discomfort in his stomach retreated, in fact, Cha Wenbin knew that it was an antidote.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chaozi and the others arrived first, and many of the necessary equipment were hired to be carried in by mules, and for lighting, Chaozi even got a gasoline generator. Director Leng went back to the provincial capital to make a report, as a probing excavation, he didn't need to prepare too much, I believe that he will be able to come back tomorrow with the formalities.

Leng Yiran's work permit completely dispelled the doubts in the old farmer's heart, and he cried that the place he had guarded all his life could finally be handed over to the government to deal with, but there were too few clues he could provide.

Cha Wenbin was quite interested in the bridge, which was about two meters long and made of four heavy bluestone slabs. There are no railings on the bridge deck, it is as simple as the most ordinary stone bridge in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a small waterhole under the bridge, as the old farmer said, even in the rainy season, this waterhole is difficult to drown children over ten years old. But Cha Wenbin can be sure that there have been dead people in this place, and when he walked under the bridge, the temperature of this place where less than three people were side by side plummeted, and a cold air gushed out from under the bridge, and before people approached, they could feel the hairs on their backs stand up.

This feeling is the subconscious self-reaction of people to danger, and everyone has the ability to predict, to a greater or lesser extent. For example, if you buy a house, if you say that someone has died in the house you bought, especially if you die unexpectedly, you will not be able to sleep at night; For example, many people will say that when a certain place looks gloomy, it is not that there is no light in that place, but that the place is indeed unclean.

The bridge doesn't see anything different, but if Cha Wenbin is given more time, he can figure out the flaws, and the strangest part of the bridge is its piers. In general, in order to balance the weight of the bridge deck, the piers must be located in the middle of the bridge; But this bridge is not, its piers Cha Wenbin measured it with his arm, and it was built in a ratio of about 3:7. The east side should be shorter, and the west side should be longer, this design is the place where Cha Wenbin thinks the most, if it is really deliberate, then the designer of this bridge is indeed a master.

The most favorite directions for Chinese people to design yang houses are to sit north and face south, and there are very few east-west directions, one is the problem of sunlight, and the other is about life and death. The East is the place where the sun rises, which means the first birth, a symbol of vitality and life; In the West, it's sunset, that's death and darkness. The village is located on the east side, and the Yin House is chosen to be on the west side, which is in line with this simplest feng shui statement, but the proportions of the bridge are very learned.

Before the Arabic numeral "0" penetrated into China, the ancients believed that the largest number was nine, so the emperor was also called the Ninety-Five Honor. But Taoism is the opposite, Taoism believes that the largest number is "three", because three is a number of births, "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things". The first here refers to the vitality, the second refers to the vitality of yin and yang, and the two qi are both Taiji, and the two qi of yin and yang give birth to the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, and the three worlds can give birth to all things.

Therefore, the section close to the east is three, even if you walk this bridge at night, walk from the east to the west, as long as you don't pass the bridge pier, Cha Wenbin thinks that there will be no accident. And the other side of the pier is not, seven in the Taoist head is a perfect number, is the number of Tiangang, represents the completion of a reincarnation, that is left to the people of the underworld to stand on the bridge and look at the hometown of the road. Further ahead is the three-life human realm, which cannot come, so even if there are many cemeteries in the mountains and forests in the west, the people who live in the east will not be disturbed, and a bridge has already clearly divided the two worlds of yin and yang.

Midnight belongs to them, when the living cross the bridge from the east, as long as you cross the three lives, the people on the other side of the bridge will be eager to welcome you into their world, this is the so-called "midnight without the bridge".

More Cha Wenbin didn't have time, because Chaozi had already driven the mule and started to walk up the mountain. Cha Wenbin wanted to go to the shadow of the mountain top he saw yesterday first, he and Dashan needed to lead the way in front, through the maple forest, and they could also see the boulder that was smashed by the mountain yesterday and the blood on the ground.

Climb another kilometer, the road is full of scattered long stones, Chaozi said that these are all artificially polished stones, you can see that there are really some large buildings in this place. When he got closer, he finally saw the true face of the thing he wanted to see yesterday, it was a building about three meters high, and it was built with this long stone scattered all over the ground, one stone was a step, gradually decreasing upward, and the whole was pyramid-shaped, but unfortunately it collapsed at about half the height.

Chaozi climbed up and could see that the building was originally hollow in the middle, but now there were a lot of stones in a mess, and the four of them were responsible for cleaning these stones out of it all morning, while Leng Yiran recorded the number of each stone and its original location.

By the afternoon, the entire interior was completely emptied, but unfortunately no valuable clues were found, the stones were only built on flat ground, and Chaozi used a Luoyang shovel to hit a full fifteen meters down the raw soil, which proved that there was nothing they were looking for here.

It took a lot of manpower and material resources to get such a thing out of the ridge, and the stones that were moved out had traces of fire, and Chaozi said that this thing was probably a beacon in the past, used to inform the enemy. But Cha Wenbin doesn't think so, throughout the history of northwest Zhejiang, Youling was at best a no-man's land before the tunnel was opened to traffic, with no strategic price and no economic value, who would build a military beacon tower in such a worthless place?

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, Cha Wenbin wanted to walk north along the ridge, where the mountains were higher, and if the copper sheet was washed down by the water, then at least the source of the river had to be found first.

Carrying heavy supplies through the mountains and forests was not a good task, especially in the old forests that had not been cut down for thousands of years, and the collapsed trees and dense bushes forced them to continue their journey with broadswords and scolding. It seemed to be a two-kilometer road, but they walked for a whole afternoon, and a second "beacon" began to appear here.

Like the previous one, this place has also collapsed, only slightly better than the previous one. Chaozi and Dashan used their knives to carve out a clearing, this is their camp camp tonight, from here climbing up the big tree, Chaozi can see the smoking chimney of the old farmer's house, but he can't see any surface ten meters away from him, the forest is too dense.

Dinner is a hot pot, with a few stones on the iron pot put some spices to boil, work in the field, this can almost be regarded as a luxury dinner. Most of Cha Wenbin's trip to the mountain this time is because Chaozi sold the national treasure in the mouth of Director Leng, and the other is that the place of Youling is really not very peaceful.

Since the completion and opening of the Youling Tunnel, there have been dozens of accidents in this section of less than one kilometer back and forth, and several lives have been buried in this section of green mountains and green waters every year. People who have walked this road may be immersed in the beautiful scenery of the mountain top one second, a tunnel and a bamboo sea and a tunnel, which is indeed beautiful here, but the next second may be a car crash and death. In addition to the inherent danger of any deadly road, there is also a reason for Feng Shui. The road is also a man-made structure, and the impact on feng shui is much greater than that of ordinary buildings, and in terms of shape, the road is more like a winding dragon, but it is not certain whether this dragon is fierce or auspicious.
