Chapter 69 Past Events (2)
"Oh, it's all your father's fault, I didn't expect it well." Daddy sighed
With the passage of time, the business of tomb robbery also revived, and grandpa and they took the lead in gaining a firm foothold in Shu with the artifacts brought out from the tomb of King Yelang and some ancient tombs in the surrounding area. Subsequently, many figures from the north and south factions also appeared successively. Any industry, as long as it prospers, there will be more and more doorways. Later, grandpa's footprints were not limited to Sichuan and Chongqing, and from time to time they would join forces with some people in the south or north to engage in some big deals.
The more you walk, the more things you know. By chance, my grandfather heard something terrible from a Shandong person.
The Shandong man was almost 70 years old at the time, and he was also an expert. He saw that my grandfather had traveled back and forth in many places, so he asked my grandfather if he had heard of the "Four Directions Mountains and Rivers". The two of them were drinking, and my grandfather didn't hear about it, and he didn't take it seriously, so he smiled and asked the old man what it was.
The old man sighed, but did not explain to my grandfather what the "Four Directions of Mountains and Rivers" was, but only said that if these four pictures could be put together, then everything in the world could be controlled. My grandfather was amused in his heart, thinking that this old man had heard too much bragging when he was a child.
But then, the old man very seriously begged my grandfather to help him find the "Four Directions of Mountains and Rivers", and even took out some extremely precious antiquities as a deposit. Seeing those rare treasures, my grandfather reacted, so he continued to ask about the "Quartet Mountains and Rivers". But the old man just refused to explain, and only told his grandfather that the four pictures were each hidden in an artifact, and the old man himself didn't know what the four pictures were. However, he knew a lot about the artifacts of the Tibetan map, so he told my grandfather about the shapes and possible places of the four objects one by one.
When he said the last thing, my grandfather's head buzzed, and he immediately understood that this old man was talking about the "blue blood dragon pattern".
"In short, you just need to help me find these four things, money and everything, it's like water, I will give you as much as you want. Even," said the old man to my grandfather, in a low voice, "I can get someone to wipe your ass clean." ”
Grandpa knew that this old man was not ordinary, and after hearing this, he felt that the water behind this person was too deep, and it was not something he could touch at all.
The business of tomb robbery has been hereditary in our family for I don't know how many generations, and my grandfather naturally understands that some water cannot be wetted. At the moment, although it had a clue of the "Blue Blood Dragon Pattern", looking at the old man's eyes, he didn't dare to shake out half a word. Grandpa felt at the time, anyway, this kind of thing knows when he can find it, so he casually promised the other party first, and then, let him wait, it is estimated that in a few years, the old man will have braids.
Although this was the end of the matter at that time, later, grandpa would often think of the "Quartet Mountains and Rivers" thing. When my father was about to take over, he even began to be tempted by the old man's words. This is not difficult to understand, after all, the life of tomb robbers is not lived by people, and grandpa does not want his children and grandchildren to continue this business. At that time, Grandpa was already old, and it was unrealistic to change anything on his own, so he told Daddy what was on his mind.
When Daddy learned about this incident, I was already born, and he didn't want me to follow the old path of the family at that time, so he actively responded to my grandfather's proposal. However, many years have passed, and the old man is afraid that he has already become a white bone, even if Grandpa and Daddy want to find it, the hope is very slim.
It didn't take long for grandpa to try to contact his northern counterparts back then, but he was surprised to find that the old man was not dead, and after the other party got the news, he planned to meet with grandpa again.
Daddy said that grandpa and the old man met for the second time and chatted all day, and no one knew what they talked about, but after talking, grandpa gave a death order to Daddy, saying that no matter what, we must find the four things that the old man said, as long as our Yuan family can do it, then, there is no need to worry about things in the future.
Although my father was willing, he was still worried that the old man's life would not be long enough to wait for that day. Grandpa reassured him and said that the other party would naturally have a way. But before parting, the old man also gave his grandfather a warning:
"I'm not the only one who wants to map the mountains and rivers of the Quartet, among them, there are people who are more powerful than me, if things get out of the way, it will be very troublesome, and then it will not only be your tomb robbers."
The meaning behind these words almost made Daddy's heart chill, so in the following years, he was busy with the affairs of the family, and at the same time desperately searched for the other three artifacts.
At that time, Grandpa and Daddy had already discussed, before finding all four things, the matter of the blue-blooded dragon pattern must not be known to anyone, especially the old man. In this line of work, trust is absolutely non-existent, there is only mutual interest. Therefore, Daddy is cautious everywhere, for fear that something will go wrong.
After listening to this, I immediately understood what kind of mood the earth dog and those people would be in when he found Daddy. For ordinary people, the pressure of career and life is enough for us to bear, and when the lives of a group of people, the future of future generations, and the fate of the family are all concentrated on the shoulders of one person, it is understandable for that person to make any crazy moves.
I guess at this time, the fat man should be able to understand some of my father's thoughts at that time.
"I'm dead, and the matter can still be handed over to your second uncle, but if the blue-blooded dragon pattern is snatched away by others, then our old Yuan family" In the shadows, Daddy seemed to look at me.
Suddenly, I began to know why these people in Qin Feng would be so loyal to my father, if the environment changed, I really had to stand up and shout to my father: "Son! ”
After a moment of silence, Daddy said again: "When you took off those three copper bricks, you should have seen those virgin incense, right?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded, "Does that have anything to do with me and this tomb?" ”
Daddy sighed again, "That's right, I used your blood to make a 'blood lock' in this tomb." ”
"Bloodlock?" The fat man was very surprised, "Sixth Master, isn't that an evil art in the southwest?" What are you doing here? ”
"Hmph, what else can I do, don't you just don't want others to enter the main tomb?" Daddy sighed.
I hurriedly asked what the "blood lock" was, and the fat man explained it to me.
The so-called blood lock, in fact, should be called "blood induction", which came from the Xiangxi area earlier. In ancient times, Taoists often traveled continuously in order to lure corpses, which was very difficult. Later, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest with the Taoist name "Liuji" who invented a very strange technique. He found some of the baby's blood, and when he drove the corpse, he sprinkled it on the ground at regular intervals, and did some special treatment where the blood was sprinkled, and then, after he had finished the first time, he would come back the second time, so that he would not have to walk in front of the walking corpses, and the walking corpses would follow the route he had marked to the end of the road.
This method is indeed convenient, however, some people say that this kind of technique is very terrible behind the number, those babies who are taken blood will be inexplicably infected with corpse gas when they grow up, and they will be stupid and paralyzed at best, and they will die at worst.
However, this technique of the Liuji Daoist gave an inspiration to the subsequent masters of various walks of life, and by the time the tomb robbers began to use the "blood guide", it had actually changed a lot.
It's not easy to find a fat bucket at any time, and even if you do, most of the contents are not available in one go. At this time, the tomb robbers will take a certain amount of blood from their bodies according to the method of "blood induction", and then mark a road in the tomb road, and then use the "blood induction" to make a "blood lock" after the most lucrative time. In this way, unless they encounter a master of mathematics, otherwise, others will definitely not be able to get those things that are locked in blood.
The fat man told me that there are actually many ways to make blood locks, and my father used virgin incense.
I didn't seem to understand it, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched.
The fat man continued: "No wonder, those stone spiders only recognize your blood, it turns out that there is still this hand, hehe, miss, this ancient tomb is afraid that you have a share of the property rights, if you want to develop this place in the future, you can still take the opportunity to make a profit." ”
I didn't have the heart to laugh with the fat man, and what he said made me even more suspicious of my father's explanations. However, at this time, Daddy had already said a lot, and I knew that he was very tired when I heard his panting, so I hurriedly asked him to rest.
As I moved forward, I saw the outline of Peanut's face appear in front of me. He seemed to be looking at me, and he slowly shook his head at me twice.
