Chapter 6: Horror in the Cave (I)
Our family has changed a lot, and with the support of the village council, a fireworks factory was opened. Due to the exquisite craftsmanship of his parents, there are many types of fireworks and good effects, orders have come from all over the world, and business is getting better and better. In addition to the hard work of our parents, we also secretly helped a lot.
In the past three years, the two of us have been practicing by leaps and bounds. Tie Zhu has grown into a ten*-year-old young man, his body has been trained by Uncle Li to be very strong, his kung fu is even better, and he has mastered the use of thirty-two charms. After graduating from high school, he helped his father take care of the fireworks factory. And I graduated from junior high school this year, in addition to mastering Qimen Dunjia, I also began to learn three-element feng shui and some simple formations, and I have achieved a small success.
When the He family was flipping the house, almost all the layout of the house was designed by me. According to Xuankong Feng Shui, I adjusted the direction of the gate of the courtyard with a compass to adjust the meridian direction, so that the whole house was in the invincible house of the three elements. The wing room on the left is the green dragon position in feng shui, representing the masculine and masculine representatives, and the green dragon is prosperous, representing the noble people and the power of oppression; the wing room on the right is the white tiger position, representing the feminine and feminine representatives, and the white tiger is prosperous, representing the strong feminine power, these two forces must be balanced to be good feng shui, otherwise the yin and yang will be unbalanced, resulting in chaotic aura, making the power of men and women in the family unequal, thus detrimental to family harmony. Therefore, I built the left and right wings very symmetrically.
The courtyard is called the Ming Hall in Feng Shui, and there is water in the Ming Hall to gather wealth, so I made a small pool in the middle of the courtyard, and planted some two lotus flowers in it, which increased the aura.
In the end, a shadow wall was erected behind the gate, and Uncle Li personally painted a picture, which was actually a charm of the town house, but it was difficult for ordinary people to see after modification. This barrier can play a role in blocking Nafu.
In addition, I also carefully arranged the furnishings of the items in the house. For example, I put my parents' bed in the position of the heavenly doctor, so that the sleep will be very sweet, and the more I sleep, the healthier my body will become. I wanted to put my brother's bed in the peach blossom position, but he found out and taught him a hard lesson. I adjusted the furnishings in the other rooms to the best of their ability. As a result, our family is thriving more and more.
It's summer vacation now, and I feel extra relaxed after the high school entrance examination. Even if he didn't use Qimen's prediction, he knew that his score would definitely have no problem in going to the district's key high school. Because the little thing in junior high school is too simple compared to the calculations taught by Uncle Li.
On this day, my junior high school classmate* invited me and a few other good friends to his house for a few days to have a party. After all, I couldn't see each other often after graduation, so I agreed, so I got together with a few friends at noon the next day and rushed to *'s house together.
*The family lives in Huangshan Store behind Dragon Bone Mountain, which is a small mountain village. There are only about 100 households in the whole village, scattered in the mountain col. The scenery there is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the stream water in the mountain stream can be drunk directly, sweet and refreshing. Due to the heavy rain this year, the big pits and small holes in the mountains are full of clear rainwater, which adds infinite spirituality to the village.
Although I have been here a few times, I was still deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery here, and I thought to myself: if I practiced the Mind Method in this place where there is aura, it would definitely be much better than at home.
In addition to me, Li Bin, Liu Shuang, Li Changzheng and Wu Jianguo also came. Among them, Liu Shuang and Li Changzheng are both from Fangshan County, and when they came to the mountains for the first time, they felt that it was very beautiful and they were very interested in everything.
When everyone came to *'s house, look at it, good guy, his home is very big. The whole courtyard is located on a platform at the foot of the mountain, the eight main houses face west in the east, the blue bricks and red tiles are very magnificent, and there are four wings in the north and south, which are spacious and bright. The yard is all neatly organized and clean. Behind the house is the mountain, and not far in front of it is a pool of lake water, which is crystal clear, and you can occasionally see a few small fish swimming in the water. I looked at it and thought to myself, what a piece of feng shui treasure.
Because * home and school is relatively far away, usually he lives in the school, we often bring him the good food at home, take care of him very much, so his family is very welcome to come to his house as a guest, this time in addition to the party, there is also a layer of meaning to thank us for the care of * in the past three years.
That night, the Zhang family set up a very rich banquet to receive them, all game, what hare meat, stewed quail, the best food belongs to the catfish in the pond in front of his house, the taste is fresh and tender, and all kinds of wild vegetables are pure natural food, and it is more comfortable and refreshing to eat.
* Seeing that everyone was very happy, he said: "Although after graduation, we will separate and go to different schools to study...... "After graduating from junior high school in our era, most rural children will choose to take the secondary school entrance examination in order to transfer their household registration, so after the high school entrance examination, the students will go their separate ways." “...... But it's a lot of fun to come to my house on holidays!"
"Yes, yes, the scenery here is good, there are a lot of delicious food, if you don't say it, we will come often!" Li Changzheng couldn't do without eating in three sentences.
"Well, that's right, we must meet often in the future to keep our friendship alive. After drinking two beers, Liu Shuang began to speak proudly.
"You're so nice here, what's going on tomorrow, is there anything fun?" I couldn't help but want to go out for a walk.
"Of course, there are a lot of fun places on the back mountain, let's go up the mountain tomorrow to hunt rabbits, and then come back in the afternoon to set up a fire next to the pond, and fish while roasting rabbit meat, how about it?"
"Okay, let's do it, let's have a competition to see who fishes more, hehe. ”
When it comes to fishing, Wu Jianguo is an expert, his father is a contractor of fish ponds, and he fishes and releases it at home every day. The others were also excited when they heard it, after all, they were all fifteen or sixteen children, and they were all in the mood when it came to playing.
After eating, several people rested early after playing cards for a while.
The next day, before dawn, I was woken up by a miserable cry. I hurriedly got up and listened carefully, and the cry seemed to come from next door, so I hurriedly woke up *, who was sleeping next to me.
* After waking up, I also heard a cry, "Don't be afraid, it may be that the neighbor Uncle Zhang has passed away, since the spring of this year, after Uncle Zhang fell on the mountain, his health is getting worse and worse, he just came back from the hospital a few days ago, and said that it is no more, let the family prepare for the future, but I didn't expect to leave today." Let's go out and have a look. ”
After that, the two of us got dressed and went out lightly.
As soon as I got out of the gate, I saw my parents coming out of Uncle Zhang's house, and when I asked, Uncle Zhang had passed away.
"Alas, it's a pity that Uncle Zhang is such a good person, just leave!" * sighed helplessly.
"There's no way around it, after all, he's so old. *'s parents comforted: "Let's go, go back, I'll prepare breakfast for you, and you'll have to go up the mountain to play at dawn." With that, the four of them returned home.
After breakfast, the six brothers went out of the house with a shotgun and an air gun, and walked down the path behind the house to the mountain, where almost every mountain dweller had a shotgun.
Although everyone was a little depressed when they heard the news of the death of someone in their neighbor's house, after all, they were all children, and they forgot all their worries when they played. I have a very good feeling about guns, especially air guns, which are more accurate than *, and it didn't take long to shoot three pine hipsters, a little like a small squirrel, and *'s hunting skills are not covered, and I often hunt in the mountains with adults since I was a child, from looking for rabbit tracks, digging traps, to aiming and shooting, chasing prey, everything is very sophisticated. The remaining four came to the mountain purely for entertainment, climbing the mountain, wading through the river, going up the tree to pick a few wild fruits, and having a lot of fun.
By near noon, they had already hit two rabbits and six pine boys. A few people carried their prey, found a river, sat down to eat some dry food made for them by Aunt Zhang, and rested and adjusted.
"Well, let's have fun in the mountains!" * looked at everyone with a grin.
"It's good, it's really good, it's just tired!" Li Changzheng didn't want to move because his body was too fat, and he didn't want to move after sitting on the stone all morning.
"By the way, there's an interesting cave in front of you. In the innermost part of the cave is an underground river, the water is very fast, and there is a tin boat on the water, which always drifts downstream with the river, and after a while the boat will float back from the downstream of the river, as if in circles. * Eyebrows fluttered and spoke.
"Well, let's take a look later!" I thought it was interesting.
The entrance to the cave is so low that several people have to bend down to get in. The cave was very deep, and it was very dark inside,* and as I walked in front of me with a torch made of pine branches, a cold wind blew, and several people suddenly got goosebumps.
Fortunately, the further you go in, the more space there is, and you are more familiar with the situation in the cave, and several people came to the bottom of the cave very smoothly, and a very wide underground river was displayed in front of everyone. The river does not flow very quickly, slowly flowing from right to left, there is about two meters above the water surface, there seem to be some stone stalactites on it, shining under the light of torches, although the river channel is not very wide, but from the top of the structure and texture, this underground river has a long history.
"Where's the tin boat? you brag, haha. Do you want to scare us?" Liu Shuang looked around with a torch.
"Hehe, don't worry, look over there, the ship will appear in a while. The crowd crowded around the narrow hole, following the direction of *'s finger, staring closely at the upper reaches of the river.
After a while, a very old boat slowly appeared in people's sight from the darkness deep in the upper reaches of the river.
The temperature inside the cave was much cooler than outside, and the walls were mostly reddish-brown limestone, covered with a thick layer of turquoise moss, and the feeling of holding on to it was as if you had touched a piece of flesh that had rotted for a long time, slippery and sticky.
The entrance to the underground river at the bottom of the cave was not very wide, and Li Changzheng was almost squeezed against the cave wall. And the boat was already slowly drifting along the river.
This boat is not big, about four meters long and one meter five wide, it is the structure of a typical ancient cargo boat, the side and bottom of the ship are wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, and below the bow, it is a copper gluttonous ring, which is covered with green patina, but it is still ugly and intimidating.
