Chapter 67: Tracking
Wei Guangtou brought a total of three people with him on this trip, the surname of the machine hand is Feng, and the Taoist is called 'Feng Ghost Hand', a pair of machine hands are superb, and the other is good at using a steel knife.
This steel knife is said to be an antiquity to ward off evil spirits, whether it is used to cut people or cut zongzi, it is handy. Its owner is a dignified and neat man named Lu Su. It is said that his ancestors are still folk anti-Japanese heroes, ancestral steel knife skills, used that steel knife back then, hacked to death a lot of devils, passed on to this generation, I don't know why I embarked on the road of digging mushrooms.
The third person is called Luo Ren, he has no special skills, but this person is very sensitive and resourceful, and with his intelligence, he has been mixed in the Tao for more than ten years and is very famous.
At that time, Wei Guangtou received news that the operation was targeted by a group of strips, and the original plan was to take me and Tofu together, but later the four of them had to set off temporarily, and the mobile phone was monitored, so even the mobile phone was useless afterwards.
Several people dressed up in disguise and changed their faces, and Wei Guangtou relied on the information in the Ghost King Yulong Cup, and took the three of them all the way to Fengzui Village, and the hardships of this road naturally need not be said.
The three of them arrived at Fengzui Village during the day, which was already in tatters, and there were not even a few serious houses left. It's better to say it's better to be a ruin than a village.
Naturally, these four people don't know what to look at the tomb, so if they want to find the exact point of the tomb, they have to go down and explore. Of course, the mountain is so big, it's not a blind exploration, otherwise if you dig holes and shovel everywhere, you have to hit the Year of the Monkey?
Digging down the shovel to find the tomb is not to try luck by digging holes everywhere, but to judge the general location of the shovel in combination with the funeral customs of the past dynasties.
Since the Han Dynasty, there have been burial customs of burying mountains without burying the top, burying slopes without burying mountains, including those that have been used now.
China's funeral customs are complex and wide-ranging, and they can be said in one word, but in general, there is also a set of rules, which have been summarized by tomb robbers for thousands of years and formed an iron-like law.
This has a mantra in the industry: find the top of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and fish the mountains of the Qin and Han Emperors' Mausoleums; The north and south of the Eastern Han Dynasty are on the mountainside, and the Sui and Tang dynasties sleep under the slope of zongzi, and the Ming and Qing dynasties will rise when they see the spirit.
This mantra is widely circulated, and the meaning is very clear: the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are buried on the top of the mountain, while the Qin and Han dynasties are in the mountains, and they pay attention to opening the mountain as a mausoleum. Most of the tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Wei and Jin dynasties are buried on the mountainside; In the Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, it was generally under the slope of the mountainside.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the form of tombs was more extensive, and the specific location was not so rigid, and the burial was carried out when it met a good hole, but in general, it still followed the principle of 'burying the mountain without burying the top'.
These mantras summed up by tomb robbers for thousands of years were introduced to the archaeological team immediately after the first 'Zhao'an', and were widely used.
When the four of them arrived in Fengzui Village, it was daytime, and they robbed tombs to dig mushrooms, usually working at night to avoid people. But in the deep mountains, there were no people, and there was no need to be taboo, and several people immediately began to look for the grave.
Following the burial custom of burying the mountain without burying the top, burying the slope without burying the ridge, several people locked the location of the princess's tomb below the foot of the mountain.
In the Ghost King Yulong Cup, Wei Guangtou got a piece of information, that is, there is a divine spring in front of the tomb, that is to say, there is a water eye or a lake or something, according to these two standards, and then go down to the shovel, the location of the tomb should be easy to find out.
After packing up their food, they went down the mountain with their tools to find a place with an eye for water, and soon found a lake.
The lake is not large, surrounded by reeds, the water surface is foggy, and the sound of water birds can be faintly heard, like a fairyland.
Wei Guangtou has a lot of experience, he combined the location of the lake, and then measured the height and mountain, estimated two positions, and asked everyone to play 'plum blossom holes' in these two positions.
The plum blossom hole five holes are a group, used to detect the location of the tomb, Wei Guangtou and others played the plum blossom hole for an afternoon, touched the two positions thoroughly, and explored the cave to hit hundreds. Wei bald his head squatted and put the soil brought out by the probe shovel in front of his eyes one by one.
It is a pity that he watched it for an afternoon, and his brows were furrowed until it was almost night, and the two places were also full of cavings, so Wei Guangtou sighed: "There are no two positions, it seems that we have misestimated." It's getting late now, go back to the village for the night, and continue tomorrow. ”
Although a few people's efforts in the afternoon fell short, they were not too disappointed, after all, the general location has been determined, and the rest of the tomb visits, what is needed is patience, tomb robbing, not only have skills and courage, but also have to be able to endure hardships and loneliness.
Several people carried tools back to Fengzui Village, and after entering the village, they lit a bonfire to sleep, and for the sake of safety and to prevent any snakes, insects and beasts in the mountains, several people took turns to arrange a vigil.
The first shift of the vigil was Lu Su.
This man is slender and straight, muscular, often smiling, looking gentle and elegant, but a steel knife behind his back is infinitely powerful, he sits in front of the campfire, the steel knife is stuck in the side, his hands are around his chest, and his eyes are closed.
The night was thick, and it was time to change shifts in a blink of an eye, Feng Ghost Hand was the second shift, he was woken up by Lu Su, and got up to keep vigil with a yawn. At this time, I had just woken up, my sleepiness had not faded, my eyes were misty, and in a hazy way, I suddenly saw several sneaky figures at the end of the village.
In fact, there are only remnants of stone foundations left in this village, and the rest are a few crooked, half-broken wooden houses, and the rest of the place is empty, occupied by trees and various plants, and the view is very narrow.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly saw a few figures, and Feng Ghost woke up from sleepiness all of a sudden, but he was a vigilant person, thinking to himself, could it be that the strip had caught up? If this is the case, he can't deal with it alone, so he immediately woke up Wei Guangtou and the others.
Among all the people, only Wei Guangtou brought a pistol, and the tomb robbers generally did not carry hot weapons, because when they went down to the tomb, the dangers they were easy to encounter were mostly from snakes, insects, rats and ants, or they were zongzi, no matter which one it was, the gun could not deal with it, so when digging mushrooms, they were more inclined to cold weapons, such as Lu Su's steel knife.
The pistol that Wei Guangtou was carrying in his hand was probably used to guard against the strips, and after a few people woke up, Feng Ghost handed out a gesture to them towards the end of the village, and a few people immediately saw those sneaky figures, and their sleepiness disappeared, the four of them were all veterans, no one spoke, and Wei Guangtou made a gesture, and then he walked around, silently, and leaned towards those figures.
In the dark, those figures, as if they had discovered the purpose of the four Wei Guangtou, immediately turned around and walked down the mountain, and the four of them hurriedly chased after them. In the darkness, I saw a figure in the darkness in front of me, the figure was blurred, and I couldn't distinguish between men and women. Several people chased after each other, chasing after them, and Luo Ren, who was quick-witted, suddenly waved his hand and said, "No, those people in front of them have neither torches nor flashlights in their hands, how do they see the road?" How do you make your way through the dark? Can't even catch up? ”
As soon as Luo Ren said this, the other three reacted violently, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes, we have flashlights, it is still difficult to walk in the dark night, the figures in front of us, there is no light source at all, how do they distinguish the path? Are they not human beings at all?
This thought came to the minds of the four of them, and at this moment, the vague figure in front of them also stopped suddenly, as if they were waiting for Wei Guangtou and his party to catch up.
Who dares to chase it now?
These people are all veterans of digging mushrooms upside down, and their courage is naturally not small, but they are not reckless people, knowing that there is a problem, it is naturally impossible to catch up at this time.
In front, is it a human or a ghost?
Wei Guangtou is the 'investor' this time, and the palms of the team will naturally not sit still. He was silent for a moment, then raised his pistol and fired three shots into the darkness ahead. Although it is difficult to aim in the dark, several people in front of them are very close, and this chance, blind cats can meet dead mice.
Who knew that after three shots, the figures in front of them were still unmoved, as if the bullets had not hit them at all, but this was simply impossible!
Wei Guangtou is also well-informed, and thought: Could it be that the thing in front of him is really not a person?
He couldn't help but tilt his head and said to Lu Su: "Master Lu, it's your turn." "The steel knife in Lu Su's hand is ancestral, for hundreds of years, the knife is not known how much human blood has been stained, it is definitely a fierce knife, it is said that the fierce knife can ward off evil spirits, the biggest use of this knife is to cut zongzi, a knife down, no matter how hard the zongzi is, you can divide the head.
