Chapter 10: The General's Tomb

As soon as I entered the prison, I was relieved by this old rake called Zhang Chopsticks, and I became the second child in a daze, and within a few days I realized the benefits of the second child. Lying in bed during the day and sleeping in bed at night, watching the news and receiving education at night, my life is much more nourishing than when I sleep outside.

Within a few days, I became familiar with everyone in the cell, and this Zhang chopstick, whose original name was Zhang Tianzhi, was sentenced to prison for stealing and excavating cultural relics. Brother Tiger and the man who has always been low-key have committed homicide, and the strange man who calls himself Hua Ye is so funny, he actually committed the crime of molesting a boy and entered the number. It's no wonder that Zhang Qiaozi is so disgusted with him.

I have figured out the details of these people, except for Niu Er. He once said that he was a family with me, and I thought he was also a soil rake, but after asking for a long time, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Lu, I don't have that ability, I do this." As he spoke, he stretched out a scissor hand, clamped his index and middle fingers, and then whispered: "I am a Buddha." ”

Looking at Niu Er's sneaky appearance, I instantly understood, it turned out that this guy was a thief, the old Beijing jargon is called "Buddha", taken from the extension of the Buddha with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, and the thief is also a capable person with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. And he made a pinching action with his fingers, which also means that all thieves can take the soap in the boiling oil pot with two fingers, of course, I still don't know if this Niu Er has this ability.

A few months have passed in a blink of an eye, life is very easy but also very boring, after all, the life of two o'clock and one line every day has long ceased to yearn for me, Zhang Chopsticks is privileged in prison, he can write a letter every day and send it outside, but I applied for a long time and was not approved, so I suddenly began to miss the life of robbing tombs outside for half a year.

So I pestered Zhang Chopsticks every day to tell me about his tomb robbery deeds, one is to open my eyes, and the other is to increase my experience.

Zhang Chopsticks is not a stuffy gourd, and he can be regarded as teaching some tomb robbing skills and rules. He also told me more than once how to find the dragon point to find the tomb, how to fight the thousand-year-old zongzi, and how to kill the same soil rake. That guy, if he weren't a serious person, I wouldn't believe what he said was so mysterious.

Finally, one day, after listening to the story of Zhang Qiaozijiang, I couldn't help but say: "You have such great ability, how did you get caught here?" ”

Zhang Chopsticks was stunned for a moment, his eyes closed slightly, and he said after a while: "How do you know that I was arrested?" ”

After hearing this, I was stunned, I wasn't caught in, could it be that I walked in by myself? Or does this guy think that he has done too much evil and sees through the red dust and comes in to atone for his sins?

Zhang Chopsticks pondered for a while and said, "I'll tell you a story and you'll understand." ”

I sat down and listened to my ears.

Zhang Qiaozi closed his eyes and spoke slowly,

It turned out that just three months ago, when Zhang Chopsticks took the car back to his hometown to visit relatives alone, the bus burst halfway, and all the passengers were driven down and waited for the next car.

Under this sweep, it really surprised Zhang Chopsticks, there is a river bend through the mountains on all sides, which is in line with the Taiji place in the Taiji Bagua auspicious land, the terrain of this place is so peculiar and so obvious, it is likely to build a large tomb!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chopsticks didn't hesitate anymore, and ran down the road again and again, and the closer he got to it, the more sure Zhang Chopsticks became of his guess. There is a village next to this road, Zhang Chopsticks walked all the way to the village, but saw a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, engraved with "General's Tomb".

Zhang chopsticks were very strange, looking for the old man who was passing by the cultivated land, and he learned that this village was called the General's Tomb. Zhang Qiaozi became interested when he heard this, handed the old man a jade stream, and asked the old man to tell him about the origin of the general's tomb.

The old man picked up the cigarette and put it on his nose and sniffed it greedily, then clamped it on his ear, and got some benefits, and the old man said truthfully: "According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, our area was a small country, just a town not far away, and it was still a national capital, and this country was called Xingguo. Because the national strength is weak, backwardness will be beaten, and the neighboring strong country Zheng Guo sent troops over. It is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, Xing Guo was surprisingly victorious, and Cai Chong, the general of Zheng Guo, was also seriously injured and was defeated and captured.

Legend has it that after Cai Chong was captured, he took advantage of the chaos to break free from the shackles and escape, which is now the unlocking ditch. He fled westward, took off his armor, and traveled lightly, leaving the place with the name of the armor shop. After fleeing westward for a while, he succumbed to his injuries and died on the north bank of the Sichuan River. Later, people buried him on the spot, called his tomb the General's Tomb, and the village name was also called "General's Tomb Village". ”

"Ao" Zhang chopsticks nodded secretly, feeling a little lost in his heart, such a down-and-out general, naturally he would not be as rich as a safe burial, and there was nothing in the tomb if he wanted to.

The old man saw Zhang Qiaozi looking dissatisfied, and said: "This general's tomb is thousands of years old, and it is regarded as a key cultural relic. ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chopsticks said subconsciously.

The old man spread his arms and said with an exaggerated face: "Dig out such a long sword!" Black, I happened to be working as a helper at Lao Xie's house at that time, and I watched Lao Xie put away the sword, and everyone said it was a treasure. Gee. The old man's old face wrinkled, and his face was envious.

Zhang Qiaozi nodded secretly and said, "Old man, where is the general's tomb?" ”

The old man pointed his hand to the field next to the village, and looked at it with his chopsticks, it was a round mound covered with cypress, like an artificial mound of earth, covered with three or four stories of big trees, and it was the height of summer at this time, and the branches and leaves were dense like a big green hedgehog.

Zhang Chopsticks have such eyesight, the smell of soil on his body can be smelled every mile, and he can see at a glance that this round mound is a rare mound of earth sealed on the ground! With such a large mound, the tomb under it is certainly not as simple as you imagined.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chopsticks laughed, threw a box of Yuxi in his pocket to the old man, picked up the bag he was carrying and ran towards the village, provoking the old man to mutter.

Zhang Chopsticks came to the village, found a restaurant to eat something, and asked around, and what he got was not much different from what the old man said. Then Zhang Chopsticks took a turn around the village, and then he realized that this is a rare breeze dragon.

Why is it special? The so-called breeze is that the dragon gas here is ethereal, no blessing and no misfortune like the breeze, and if there is a town set on the dragon's tail, it will lock the breeze and dragon energy, if the village is built on the dragon's head, it will be blessed and shaded by the descendants, imperceptibly, rich and infinite.

The General's Tomb Village is built on the dragon's head of the "Qingfeng Dragon", and the General's Tomb is the dragon's tail. I think that there was also a feng shui master here at the beginning, who skillfully buried the body of General Cai Chong here as a town object. However, the corpse of the general alone is probably lighter, so under the general's tomb, there must be some treasures left by feng shui masters, so as to achieve such a rare trend.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhang Chopsticks went to the village to buy some candles and flashlights, and then went to the longevity store to buy some yellow table paper. After that, I squatted in the small restaurant, bought a pot of wine, ordered a few side dishes, and thought about it while sucking.

When it got dark, Zhang chopsticks shouted hello, and then sneaked into the cornfield without knowing it. Touched around in the cornfield, and couldn't touch it out for a long time, Zhang Chopsticks has excellent eyesight after a long time on the battlefield, and the direction is never bad, but he has made a circle in this cornfield.

After a few turns, Zhang chopsticks stopped, squatted on a piece, and said in his heart that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and he wanted to come to this big tomb to stand here safely for a thousand years, and there was always some doorway. But this was difficult for Zhang Chopsticks, he took out a pile of yellow table paper from his pocket, burned it and held it in his hand.

The yellow table paper was lit and smoked, and Zhang Chopsticks walked in the direction of the smoke drifting away, although this direction was the opposite direction to the General's Tomb in Zhang Chopsticks' perception, but Zhang Chopsticks still moved silently, and after a while, Zhang Chopsticks stopped.

Because the smoke from the yellow paper is no longer tilting, but rising. At this time, in front of Zhang Qiaozi's eyes, there was a wild grave without a monument. Zhang Chopsticks put the yellow table paper on the grave, knelt down and kowtowed three times. At this time, when I turned around and looked again, the huge pile of the general's tomb was already not far away.

That's it. Zhang Chopsticks opened his eyes and said, "Money can make ghosts grind, that's the reason." "Let's go on.

It was already twelve o'clock at night when Zhang chopsticks touched the general's tomb, Zhang chopsticks did not rush to do anything, but circled around the general's tomb and did not find any traces of theft and excavation. Zhang chopsticks walked up the path to this round mound, there is a stone tablet in front of the mound, on which it is written, "The general of the defeated army, loyal and commendable, thousands of generations will be passed down through the ages." ”

This mound is two stories high, covered with huge cypress trees, and there is an indescribable strange feeling in it, and at this time in the middle of summer, there is not a single mosquito, which is very magical.

But Zhang Chopsticks knows, this is because of the heavy corpse here, the world knows that the cypress tree often ends next to the cemetery, meaning that the deceased's mind is eternal, there is also a legend, in ancient times, there was a demon beast named the dragon, did all kinds of evil, and even stole the corpse, many corpses were desecrated by the dragon. This monster is not only elusive, but also extremely flexible, and it is difficult for people to guard against. But later it was discovered that the monster was very afraid of tigers and cypress trees, so the ancients began to plant cypress trees next to the cemetery. The Jin Dynasty's "Naturalist Chronicles" records another similar story, that is, when Qin Mugong was digging the ground and got something that looked like a sheep, this man met two children on the road, and the children told the man that this thing was called "chalp", and often ate the head of a corpse under the ground, and if you wanted to kill it, you had to stick the southeast branch of the cypress tree on its head. Therefore, from the time of Qin Mugong, the tradition of planting cypress trees next to the cemetery began.

But the cypress trees here are stuck directly on the tomb, and I counted them with chopsticks, a total of nine. Nine is extremely numerous, and these nine cypress trees are thousands of years old, like nine dragons nailed to the tomb. also nailed the tail of the "Breeze Dragon". But for the deceased in the tomb, his soul is nailed, the five qi does not come out, and the resentment gathers, which will definitely cause a catastrophe, perhaps this is also what the feng shui master did not expect at the beginning.

Zhang Chopsticks hesitated a little at this time, this tomb has a history of 2,000 years, and the depth of its gathering of resentment is outrageous, which means that the corpse inside is likely to have become a flying zombie

That's a good thing.
