Nuqing Xiangxi Chapter 10 Exploring the Bottle Mountain

The leader of the mountain, the partridge whistle, warned Chen that he had seen the ominous clouds in the deep mountains from afar, although if there were strange treasures in the ancient tombs, there would often be auspicious clouds, but there might also be monsters hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests. After that, he pointed to the corpses of the two raccoons, signaling that this was the evidence, so that Chen Blind and his men must not act rashly, if they want to enter the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain, they need to use magic as a thief, and after a few days of meeting between the two sides, it is not too late to think about it in the long run.

Chen Blind Man didn't say anything, just nodded, he wanted to go back to his subordinates and boast about Haikou, so he asked Partridge Whistle for the corpse of the old raccoon.

The partridge whistle replied: "The meat of the raccoon dog is sour, but the crushing of the bones of the hundred-year-old raccoon dog can be used as medicine to cure the soul disorder, which is an extremely precious medicinal material." This gray-skinned and white-spotted old raccoon has a deep path, but he is stupid and old, and he thinks that he has never cultivated the golden pill. Its old meat is not edible, and it can only be used as medicine or incense. ”

Blind Chen thanked him and took the corpse of the old fox. He knows that in ancient China, the "round light" can be divided into two factions: true and false, and the true person can indeed see some things in the process of round light, and the characters he sees can also be recognized, but he needs to ask the gods to send the gods, and there are hundreds of spells, which are very cumbersome and mysterious; The false round light technique is a trick of the Hong Tao Warlock, first using alkaline water to draw a human form on paper, and spraying water can be revealed.

And this old raccoon dog takes the deserted grave as a nest, and uses saliva and urine circles all year round around the grass and trees, colorless and smellless, as long as it enters the circle, it will be confused by the old fox, which is a kind of blinding method, unless there is an external force to intervene, the trapped person will wake up, otherwise it can only be slaughtered, just like the real round light technique. The old raccoon dog also concentrates all his mind on the spell, making people confused and seeing some strange scenes, but once the recipient comes to his senses, the caster will reap the consequences, the old raccoon dog is old and cunning and can escape, and the little raccoon dog can not bear it, vomit and die.

With the bones of this yellow demon crushed into powder, after taking it, all kinds of illusions can be broken, so Chen Blind carried the corpse of the old fox, and said goodbye to the three mountain movers, at this time the sky was already light, and he looked for the way back to the grandmother's temple on the ridge.

Luo Lao crooked and others waited restlessly all night, and thought that the thief had not met in the mountain, and went out to look for a few times but did not see anyone, and was about to raise troops to search the mountain, but saw Chen Blind walked back from the bottom of the mountain unhurriedly, and read loudly in his mouth: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, mixed and popular, the lower is the river, and the upper is the sun and the stars......" The demeanor is chic and calm, so that the dust is in a state of flux, everyone is very heartbroken when they see it, and secretly praise the head is really a chapter, and hurriedly go to greet each other.

Chen Blind put gold on his face, and said again how he tracked the lame cat, and strayed into an ancient tomb forest, and there was an old raccoon dog in the ancient civet stele to make illusions harmful, so he easily got rid of it, and when he came back, he met a group of mountain movers, and they were invited by them to discuss the tomb robbery plan until the jade rabbit fell westward, which delayed the time. After speaking, he threw the corpse of the old raccoon dog and the ears of the female corpse on the ground for Luo Lao Crooked and others to watch.

Luo Lao Crooked, Hua Mao Gui and others were amazed, and even praised Chen for his strong methods, how treacherous this old raccoon dog was, and he was also kicked by the Lingling thief. Blind Chen was secretly proud in his heart, pretending to be understated on the surface and not caring about it, only letting the mute Kunlun Moeller skin and debone the old civet, and let the flower ants who made their bodies crutche, glue back the ears of the second aunt of the mouse, leave a whole corpse, and put it into the coffin after standing stiff.

In the morning, I ate some bread and dried meat, so I went to the village to find a cave man as a guide. The so-called "mature seedlings" are those who are friendly to the Han people, and even intermarry with each other and can speak the Han language; "Shengmiao" is the complete opposite, they all live in seclusion in the mountains and rarely interact with the outside world.

Although this guide is an authentic seedling, he can follow the merchants of the Sajia family to operate, and he is very familiar with the Chinese language and the sophistication of the Han people, and he also knows a lot about the legends and anecdotes of the fierce cave, so he is a very suitable candidate. So the blind man deceived the guide, saying that his group had heard that the Bottle Mountain was steep and majestic, and it was a rare wonder in the world, and this time the merchant walked to the Old Bear Ridge, so he wanted to visit it by the way, and the cave people coveted the reward they promised, and immediately agreed. It was the rainy season in the mountain, and it could rain at any time, so the group changed into straw sandals and rainproof hats, and went straight to Nahua Mountain to investigate the location of the ancient tomb.

Laoxiongling is located in the hinterland of Xiangxi, with deep forests and valleys, and this mountain ridge is shaped like a sleeping bear, isolating from the outside world. The bottle mountain, where the local mountain people talk about the tiger's changing color, is a branch of the old Xiongling Mountain Range, which is more remote and desolate, and rarely visited. Chen Blind and his gang of thieves, under the leadership of the guide, walked many distances along the way, such as walking through the greenery, climbing rocks and drilling holes, and trekking through mountains and rivers, which is needless to say.

Starting from dawn, until it was close to noon, the red sun hung high, and the group finally climbed a dangerous cliff behind the old bear ridge. The top of this ancient cliff is overgrown with weeds and ancient trees, and it is condescending to overlook the veins of Bottle Mountain. Look down, only to see the deep mountains behind the main ridge, all are cone-shaped strange peaks and dangerous rocks, the successive peaks are connected one by one in the distance, like thousands of bamboo shoots unearthed, Wan Wat is facing the sky, the peaks are connected, there are peaks behind the peaks, and they are endlessly filled between heaven and earth.

The Miao guide pointed to a rocky mountain under the cliff: "I want to teach you to know that the place to go is Bottle Mountain." Everyone looked around, only to see that the bottle mountain resembled a big-bellied ancient bottle slanted, the mountain was full of magic, the terrain was treacherous and peeled, and it was full of cliffs where apes kneaded the road. Although the mountain is dangerous and terrifying, it is surrounded by layers of mountains and green peaks, it seems that the smoke trees rise and fall as in the painting, looking at the mountain from afar, there are really a few places where the white mist rises, and the rainbow-colored color gas looms in the mist.

Luo Lao was overjoyed when he saw this, and said: "Mr. Chen, the ancient tomb is supposed to collapse, this bottle of mountain is trapped in the place surrounded by mountains, and the mercury and mercury gas in the tomb cannot be volatilized, and it condenses into a mercury mist. Fuck his grandma, that red and white, it's even better than his mother's **......"

Blind Chen replied: "It is still known at the end of the day, but this mountain shape shì is really unique, and it can be said that the mountain is hidden, the soil color is firm, the earth's veins are high, and the flowing water should be circulating." The dragon god on the mountain does not go into the water, the dragon god in the water does not go up the mountain, and the mountain and the water here are carefully observed, and the air swallows all things is the real dragon, and it should be a precious and unspeakable treasure land. You can't see where the entrance to the ancient tomb is from a high place, so let's have to take a closer look. "He has always been good at Qimen Dunjia and astrological divination, and he is also very familiar with the feng shui of the Jiangxi-shaped shì sect, but he doesn't know the tomb robbery feng shui technique of touching the golden foot cave of the golden school captain, and he can't see the pattern of the ancient tomb from a high place.

After that, he asked the cave man guide to lead the way, but the familiar seedling said that he would not say anything: "I want to teach you to know. Don't look at the old Xiongling wild and closed, but the strange scenery of our bottle mountain is indeed the same in the world, but just take a look here, how dare you go to the mountain? I think that the top of the mountain grows Ganoderma lucidum and Jiulongpan, and there are often giant pythons, and those who go to collect medicine in their leisure time have never returned. And there is an ancient tomb in that cave, a hundred years ago earthquake, the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain cracked a few cracks, the treasure inside is compelling, there are many tomb robbers and bandits want to go in and make a fortune, the result is not a few to die, no one can come out of the tomb. It is said that the corpse king is buried in the mountain, and you are all businessmen, so why should you go to that fierce evil place. It's better to listen to my good words, and it will be better to return to your hometown as soon as possible......"

Luo Lao was impatient when he heard this, kicked over the guide, and took out a revolver and put it on his head: "your grandma, put the tricks on the spot, who is the one who is the duty?" You barbarian haven't heard of my reputation as a butcher of the Yama King Luo Lao in the mountains? Let you lead the way, lead the way, and then say half a word more damn thing, Lao Tzu will uncover your Tianling cover with one shot first, and then kill your whole family when you go back! ”

Luo Lao Crooked is a big warlord in Xiangyin, before he became the commander, he was really murderous, in the local area, he didn't dare to cry at night when he heard his name, but in the closed place of Lao Xiongling in Xiangxi, who knew him Commander Luo.

But there is a way that the name is not as good as the gun, the cold muzzle of the revolver is on the head, the cave man was so shocked that he almost peed his pants, only then did he know that this group of merchants are all ringing horses, one does not deal with it, and he will slaughter people alive when he stares, where do he dare not obey, and hurriedly agreed tremblingly: "Good teaching...... I want to teach you that you have to take some wooden sticks to go up the mountain first, and beat the grass to scare the snakes......"

Without waiting for the guide to finish speaking, Luo Lao Crooked kicked him again: "What's the noise. You are the one who picks the grass and scares the snake, you give Lao Tzu to walk on the grass in front! ”

Chen Blind has always regarded himself as a person who walks on the path of heaven, although he is not used to seeing the domineering gangsterism on Luo Lao's crooked body, but they are in a relationship of mutual use, and no one can do without anyone, and he only turns a blind eye to his behavior, and lets Luo Lao crookedly hold the ripe seedlings and go to Bottle Mountain to see the cracks in the ancient tomb.

Go all the way down the mountain to the pass of the bottle mountain, there is a natural stone gate formed in the hollow of a huge rock, the local natives call it "the gate of the earth-", and the "gate of heaven" on the Tianmen Mountain is equally famous, and pass through it to enter the mountain pass. This bottle mountain is surrounded by dense peaks and forests, although the mountain is much smaller than those majestic mountains, but it is also a stone mountain of hundreds of zhang.

At a close look, the whole mountain is a large piece of dark cyan mountain stone, the stone color dark blue is cold, the touch is cold, and the surrounding geomorphology and geology are completely different, the heaven and earth create the magic axe, so that this piece of huge bluestone has been stored since the opening of the world, turned into the shape of a pot-bellied ancient bottle. The base sinks into the earth, the whole bottle-shaped mountain is inclined to the north, and the cliff of the back mountain is so inclined to fall to the ground for tens of thousands of years, with a thousand points of danger with ten thousand points of bizarreness, forming a rare scene with both danger and danger.

Due to the slope of the mountain, the force of the falling rocks caused countless large cracks to appear on the sunny side of the mountain after several earthquakes, and the smaller cracks were filled with mud brought by the mountain wind, and there were planted with separated plant belts, and the dark back-colored rock mass was still exposed in the places that were not cracked. Those green plants and trees are dotted on it, like the patterns painted on ancient bottles, with deep and shallow depths, scattered and continuous.

Those extremely wide cracks, but not covered by the soil, formed more than ten huge cracks between the bottle-shaped mountains, like a knife and axe cut straight down, the mountains are covered by clouds and mist, the bottom is not visible, the strange pines on both sides of the cliff hang upside down, extremely dangerous.

This bottle of mountain-shaped shì landform, Chen Blind, Luo Lao Crooked and others have already watched it on the high cliff of Lao Xiongling, and there are stone bridges built in ancient times between the big cracks. The people went up the mountain along the road, and compared with the mountain, it was as small as an ant climbing on a large porcelain bottle. There is a wide bluestone ancient road from the mountain pass, the avenue rises by the mountain, passes through the jungle cliffs of the road layer by layer, twists and turns are distributed with ninety-nine bends, the bends are connected, the layers are stacked, like a dragon circling, straight to the sky.

When everyone went up the mountain, the weather was a little gloomy, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the rainbow air in the original mountain had disappeared, replaced by rain and fog, and the drizzle was like silk. The big bluestone mountain road was covered by water vapor, and everywhere was slippery, and the rain and fog gradually rose, and the shadows of the mountain-shaped trees were hazy and became blurred.

Everyone was disturbed by the drizzle and mist falling from the sky, and they were worried about the danger of the slippery mountain road, and they were trying to find a place to take refuge, but at this time, the sun suddenly broke through the clouds, and the glow shone on the mountain. Those mountains, rocks, forests and springs in the depths of the deep are magically all reflected in the eyes, and every grass and leaf can be seen very clearly, and before they can take a closer look, in an instant, the colorful mist rises in the valley, and covers and swallows the deep and secluded place.

Chen Blind and others stood on the mountainside and looked at the wonders in the mountains, only to see the mid-air ** from within a few inches of the square inches, and the secluded forest spring was now at the moment of a flick of their fingers, they all secretly admired, this bottle of mountain is really a fairy cave covered by the magic of smoke and clouds, who would have thought that in the poor and wild old bear ridge, there are such real mountains and real water.

There are two peaks on this sloping and crooked bottle mountain, one is a relatively flat bottle shoulder, and there is also a very wide mountain stream here; The other commanding height is at the mouth of the bottle, on which the strange trees and strange stones, the ancient wall is cut up, and it is a strange and dangerous place. Everyone stood on the shoulder of the bottle and looked around for a long time, but they didn't see any giant python, and the guide had never been up the mountain in his life, and he heard about the things in the bottle mountain, and he didn't know where the crack in the ancient tomb was.

Chen Blind saw that there was a dense forest where there was soil on the mountain, and where there was no soil layer, it was a dark blue boulder, and it was difficult to find out the location of the ancient cemetery and the underground palace with the method of observing the mud marks and distinguishing the grass color with the word "look", and the bottle mountain was solid, not an ordinary soil ridge, and it was difficult to unload it to the underground palace tomb aimlessly, even if it was difficult to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Now I have to try the word "smell". He asked everyone to come to the deep stream at the top of the mountain, only to see that the white mist in the depths was full of unfathomable bottom, so he leaned on the mountain wall and asked Luo Lao to shoot a few shots at the mountain stream, so as to use his means to explore the general location of the ancient tomb in the mountain.

Luo Lao Crooked aimed his large-caliber revolver at the bottom of the deep stream, and fired a shot as soon as he pulled the trigger, and the sound of the gun echoed in the valley for a long time. Blind Chen took the opportunity to use the method of "smelling" the word "smelling", listening to the wind and listening to the thunder. He was born with a keen sense of the five senses, the whole world, there is no second person who has his ability, at this time sticking to the wall to listen, hearing the sound of the sky at the bottom of the mountain, there seems to be a space as big as a city.

As Luo Lao's six bullets were fired into the deep stream, Chen Blind had roughly heard the outlines of several tombs and three underground palaces, most of which were the Taoist temples in the mountains that occupied the tombs of the Yuan people, and the largest underground palace was under the deep cliff that was cracked at the top of the mountain.

Luo Lao saw that there was an ancient tomb in the bottle of mountain fruits, and the entrance of the underground palace was indeed under this cliff, and it was "as big as a city", so how much gold and jade treasures are there!
