Chapter 11: Notes on the Hunt for Gold

Shanhaiguan, also known as "the first pass in the world", is connected with the Great Wall, takes the city as the wall, is magnificent, and is a place where the ancient soldiers must fight.

Standing on the pass, looking at the endless plains outside the pass, it will always make people feel heroic, thinking about how many sergeants went out of the customs in those years, fought on the battlefield, fought all their lives, and spilled their blood; And how many poets and chivalrous men go out of the customs with swords, just to pursue the kind of scorching wind and sand that their hearts desire, and they are angry and bullfight-like Top Gun.

Shanhaiguan, although it is not as good as Jianmen Pass, is not open, but it also has the momentum of the world.

Wang Shaoyi and the others drove for more than an hour before getting off at Yanshan Shanhaiguan. At this time, a group of five people stared at the city wall, deeply attracted by the scenery outside the gate, and the sunset scenery of the desert lonely goose made them stop and did not take another step.

Shanhaiguan is a necessary place to pass through the customs, and it is also a tourist attraction, so the flow of people is very large. They were inexperienced in such a place for the first time, and did not go down to the city until after dusk to find a place to stay, and they tossed and turned for a long time to find a small and miserable inn with only one room.

The night is coming, everything will be resting, and a few of them discussed it, and they can only stay for one night.

The group ate dinner and had dinner, and as soon as they put down their luggage in the room, Wang Mengmeng gathered everyone together, and after they were seated, she told a story with others.

This story is actually a piece of history, a history that has been passed down orally by her grandfather Wang Taifeng.

It was about 1911, when the Qing Dynasty, which had ruled China for more than 300 years, finally fell apart like a building, with roof leaks falling overnight and uprisings in various places. At that time, many aspiring young people threw themselves into the ranks of the revolutionary army, and Wang Taifeng was one of them.

At that time, burning, killing, and looting were common, and there were a lot of things collected, so naturally some of them would flow into the hands of those little soldiers.

It was at this time that Wang Taifeng seized a yellowed ancient book from a small warlord, which looked quite old, and what was even more surprising was that it was still sealed in a sealed bag, and the protection was intact.

The title of the book is very tempting, it is called "Notes on the Hunt for Gold".

It seems like a fate destined in the dark, when Wang Taifeng secretly collected the book, it was for the word "gold" in the title, in that era when there was not enough food and clothing, money was a very important thing.

I never thought that this book led him to a road of no return that violated the yin and yang of the world, because that book was a [***], and the "gold" described in the book was not the "gold" of gold, but the gold under the ground, the "gold" that touched the gold.

It was also this book that allowed Wang Taifeng to start the second half of his life as a tomb robber.

That book is a strange book, and it can also be counted as an instruction manual. It introduces all the knowledge of tomb robbery in detail, covering all the steps from tomb hunting to opening the museum, and also divides tomb robbery into four parts: looking, smelling, asking, and cutting:

The book introduces some taboos of tomb robbery in detail, and also attaches cases, which can be described as illustrated and easy to understand.

Wang Taifeng relied on this book to steal countless tombs, including some imperial tombs, accumulated a lot of antiquities, and became quite famous in the circle.

It was when he was forty-five years old, he came to the Shanhaiguan of the Yanshan Mountains, here, he relied on his sophistry to find out that somewhere in the depths of the Yanshan Mountains, there was a cemetery of the princes of the Qin and Han dynasties, and what made him even more excited was that there was a very likely treasure in this tomb that fascinated the world, an ancient sword of the Qin and Han dynasties worn by emperors.

At that time, the tools for tomb robbery were still relatively backward, and tomb robbery was not a one-man operation, even if it was a high-level tomb robber like Wang Taifeng, he had to bring a few apprentices with him. When he went to Yanshan, he brought his best three apprentices, named Zhang Miao, Shen Houzai and Wang Shaoning.

That Wang Shaoning is his brother's son, that is, his nephew, and that level of attention is unprecedented.

His three apprentices have a clear division of labor, Zhang Miao is good at looking at qi and finding acupoints, Shen Houzai is good at the art of organs, and his nephew is good at opening a museum and touching gold.

After setting out from Shanhaiguan, they traveled overnight, lasting three days and three nights, and arrived at the place where the rumored cemetery might exist on the night of the fourth day.

Set up camp on the spot, sprinkle some insect repellent powder on the periphery, and they began to camp and rest.

But something strange happened that night. It's not a big deal, but it's very strange, it turned out that Wang Shaoning had a very strange dream, in which there was an emperor in an imperial robe who gave him a dream, saying that as long as the ancient sword of the Qin and Han dynasties was born, it would definitely cause a bloody storm, and he abided by the group training to guard the ancient sword here, hoping that they could make a detour.

This incident made Su Sanfeng feel very surprised, but he didn't believe in the ghosts and ghosts, so he didn't care about it at the time, but said an impassioned word to cheer everyone up.

But the most taboo thing to rob the tomb is to think crankily, thinking too much is easy to make trouble, the tomb is a dangerous place, one is not careful, will be buried in the ground.

In the early morning of the second day, facing the first ray of sunshine, Zhang Miao began to look at the qi, the fog in the mountain was very thick, Zhang Miao found a commanding height, turned his back to the direction of the out, narrowed his eyes into a slit, looked into the distance, and after more than half an hour, he found a trace of blood and light in the southwest col.

It is also strange to say that the col is originally a place of gathering yin in feng shui, which is generally not suitable for building tombs, and the tombs built in such places are easy to make the tomb owner haunted and unable to go to the underworld to reincarnate.

And what's even more strange is that this col is matched with the two peaks on the upper side, the middle is like a head, and the peaks on both sides are like ears, and the whole looks a bit like a standing dog's head.

Of course, this is just a feng shui saying, and the shape of the mountain is inherently strange, so it's not a big deal.

Packing up their things and disposing of the campfire residues, they headed for the col.

It seemed that the distance was not far, and it took them nearly half a day to walk, and it was not until near noon that they reached the dog's head col.

After eating some dry food and resting for a while, Wang Taifeng began to prepare, took out the Luoyang shovel, and connected it section by section along the meshing point, connecting it for 5 sections, about 10 or so long, before he stopped.

After Wang Taifeng got it, he gave the shovel to his nephew.

Wang Shaoning found a place where the soil was soft, and raised his hand to shovel it down. I stabbed it a few times, and when the shovel was almost in it, I pulled it back sharply.

As soon as I pulled it out, I smelled a very fishy smell, that smell was not fishy, it was just fishy, it was a kind of fishy that made people hair from the bottom of my heart.

Resisting the urge to gag, Wang Shaoning looked at the soil on the Luoyang shovel, stared at it for a while, and suddenly threw the Luoyang shovel to the side with a strange scream, and the whole person sat on the ground, his eyes full of fear.

Looking at the soil on the shovel again, it is black, the black color exudes a bewitching atmosphere in the sun, and with the pungent fishy smell in the sky and the occasional bird calls in the mountains and forests, the whole scene looks extremely weird.
