Looking back on the past, according to Sun Daqiao's meaning, Tan Yanqiu's story has to start from before entering Yueyang.

After Chao Bingzhong, Yue Qingshan, and Sun Daqiao established the Golden Rat Society from Jiangnan, they took the brothers in the meeting to dig up roots and dig graves to rob the rich and help the poor along the convenience of the river.

Traveling to the northwest of Lake Province, seeing the magnificence of Shennongjia, rugged and mysterious, and finding that there may be ancient tombs, he went to the lake province successively and came to the Nongshen Village near Shennongjia.

The merchants and passers-by of the old society can't be too showy when they first arrive, and it is easy to provoke the local snake to be stumbled.

Near Shennongjia, there are many towns and counties, and there are abundant mountain goods and skins here, and the Golden Rat Club will tailor a new identity for them according to local conditions, disguise themselves as a business house that hunts and collects skins in the mountains, and begins to operate near Shennongjia.

It is impossible for them to ask the people where there is the tomb of the nobles of the dynasty, as long as they say it, if they have a bad heart, they will arrest you and go to the official, and then the government will check and specify that there is no good fruit to eat.

The Golden Rat Club is not a nest of bandits, and it is also ashamed to rob the people, people always have some rules when they get together, and they are still ranked four, five or six according to the rules of the old society.

What are four beams and eight columns?

The outer four beams are the seedling house, the flower tongue, the insertion of a thousand children, the word craftsman, and the inner four beams are the cannon head, the beam platform, the water incense, and the stack.

Among them, the flower tongue is the most slippery, responsible for disguised as a storyteller who walks the streets and alleys, and the passers-by from the north and south set up almost set of news, as long as they mention the mausoleum tomb or something, they will first write down the news, and hand over all the news to the Yang house, and he will gather the news to make a tomb robbery backup.

There is a problem here, these rumors involving the tombs of the mausoleum may not all be true, if you prepare things with great fanfare, but when you arrive at the place, you find that it is a blind tomb with nothing, or even simply be fooled, this will be a big face, and it will be thankless.

At this time, it is necessary to step on the spot, as far as possible before acting, to spend the least effort to find out if there is an ancient tomb there.

Plugging in a thousand sons, what you do is stepping on the work in advance.

This person will often disguise himself as a hunter, a woodman or a pedestrian entering the mountain, so as to cover his whereabouts, so as to find out all the places recorded in these pamphlets, and to identify whether they are blind graves, empty places, or real tombs, and also to check the surrounding village buildings, road monuments, and fields, forests, and gardens, and draw them all into a map to form the safest route.

All these actions must be carried out under the nose of the wordsmith, and the position of the wordsmith is like the bookkeeper and the secretary, but everything involved in the early investigation and later action must be notified to the wordsmith, and the wordsmith will make a decision or notify the shopkeeper of the decision.

If you don't, it will be an unauthorized action and you will be punished for planting incense.

It is likely that every day we are collecting information, determining the truth and falsehood, screening the fat and withering, and then drawing and positioning, trying to take all the factors into account in the early stage, so as to prevent changes at hand and catch us off guard.

After talking about the outer eight beams, let's talk about the inner eight beams.

If the outer eight beams are defined as responsible for strategizing, then the eight beams are responsible for winning thousands of miles.

When it was time to act, although the outer eight beams were also present, the stage had to be given to the cannon head, the beam platform, the water incense, and the stack.

The gun leader is responsible for charging into battle and digging soil and digging ditches, Liang Taizi is responsible for eating, drinking, and lazing all the people, clothes and skins, Shui Xiangzi is responsible for standing guard and guarding, looking at the wind and covering, and turning over the stacks is equivalent to the staff of the military division, cracking the organ to survey the feng shui.

It is equivalent to saying that everyone has a clear division of labor and works together to do a good job of digging graves.

At that time, Tan Yanqiu was the tongue of the outer eight beams, responsible for finding out the news and gags.

They went through a toss, and really found out several news from the nearby county, I heard that the Shennongjia area is the place where the Yin Shang, Qin and Han dynasties, and Jingchu cultures gather, and there are many noble tombs, among them, the tombs of the nobles of the Chu State and the nobles of the Liu Song Dynasty are the most, but because the Shennongjia area is unpredictable, it is not easy to find ancient tombs.

After some discussion, everyone decided to invite an old farmer into the mountains as a guide, and then let him come back when he arrived in the Shennongjia forest area, and then let him come back, just do it, the old farmer heard that they were going into the mountains to hunt and collect skins, and persuaded them not to fight the idea of Shennongjia, the animals inside are all fetishes, and most of the hunters have gone to the mountains without returning.

Since these people were sure that there was an ancient tomb inside, of course they refused to retreat and reward the old peasants with a lot of money, so he was willing to take everyone into the deep mountains of Shennongjia.

Yue Qingshan and the others are numerous, relying on their youth and vigor, blood and energy, they are not afraid of the sky, they think that they will be foolproof with the old farmers, but they did not expect to lose their way as soon as they walked into the depths of the mountains and forests.

If you get lost in the outside world, you may be able to get out of the forest, and if you get lost here, you will probably never get out.

The old farmer bluntly said that the mountain peaks in Shennongjia are majestic, strange rocks, many secret realms, caves are like stars, there are too many mysterious and terrifying places, in the past, if the Orion mountain people of Shennongjia went into the mountains to hunt, in addition to preparing enough dry food and slurry water for ten days, they also had to prepare a bundle of cotton thread.

This kind of cotton thread is as thick as a straw, a reel is bigger than a person's head, whenever you enter the mountain, you have to tie a dead knot in a place you are familiar with, and then tie the reel to go deep into the mountains, this kind of reel is less than 10,000 meters and more than 50,000 meters long, enough for them to go into the deep mountains.

When the line is completely exhausted, even if it is deep in the mountains, it is categorically not daring to go further.

Because, as long as your back is holding this rope, you can return the same way by following the traction of the rope when you want to go back, if you get out of the rope and rush forward, and then want to return, it is likely that you can't even find the shadow of the rope.

It is equivalent to saying that the cotton rope is actually equivalent to the lifeline of a person, as long as you follow the traces, whether your family enters the mountain to find you or you go down the mountain, there are traces to follow.

When the old farmer and them entered the mountain, they only hunted for their idea, and only prepared 10,000 meters of thread, and after the cotton thread was exhausted, the people of the Golden Rat Society did not find the ancient tomb and of course refused to go back.

In this way, the old peasants and they will inevitably have differences, for the old peasants, these remuneration is rich, but their own small lives are more important, how to refuse to go forward when the cotton thread is exhausted, but the Golden Rat Club can not return in vain, otherwise, their preliminary preparations, will not be in vain.

Even if they don't mention interests, since they dare to organize a group to rob the tomb, they must be not afraid of heaven and earth, and they will come together with arrogance, even if they see a ghost, they will go up and hammer two punches, how can it become an obstacle for them to hurry, they decided to continue to increase the remuneration for the old peasants.

No matter how rich you are, you can't buy other people's lives, the old farmer is reluctant to go any further, seeing that the old farmer is so stubborn, the people in the Golden Rat Club are afraid of leaking secrets, and propose to kill the old farmer to avoid future troubles.

Yue Qingshan felt that the old peasant had fulfilled his duty as a guide and led them into the mountain, and they thieves also had a way not to kill people, so as not to cause murder, so he gave the old peasant twice the reward, which not only let the old farmer go down the mountain but also kept the old farmer silent.

The old peasant knew that these people were definitely not hunters, and if they were hunters, they should have walked here to hunt live creatures with their bows and strings, and instead of hunting, they explored the mountains and hydrology, probably for another purpose.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, although the old peasants knew in their hearts that these people had other purposes, and their own people were in their hands, and it was not easy to expose them in person, seeing that these people were kind enough to take the money and leave, they immediately returned along the cotton thread along the road with a thousand thanks.

Before leaving, he was afraid that these people would encounter danger, and he left some of the food and drink, and at the same time, he also gave a piece of advice, if he encountered difficulties or dangers, he would go to the highest Shennong Peak, where there was a temple of agricultural shrines, where he could temporarily shelter.

After the old farmer walked away, the golden rat decided to use the old method of compass to determine the direction, open the compass, the compass pointer really shook out of order, and there was no value in seeing, at this time, they had to face two choices, either they were looking for ancient tombs here to dig graves, or, continue to move forward, but, as the old farmer said, there is no way to guarantee safety, it is easy to get lost.

They, chose the latter!

In the next few days, the people of the Golden Rat Society walked in the mountains and forests, and although they made marks in advance, they all found that the marks disappeared mysteriously, or they could not return to the place where they were marked, and they could not find the ancient tomb or find a way out of the depths of Shennongjia for several days.

Even, when I wanted to return along the road, I found that the cotton thread left by the old farmer had also disappeared, which was equivalent to being completely lost in this jungle.

At this moment, Yue Qingshan and the others realized why the peasants asked them not to enter Shennongjia so easily, what was even more terrifying was that wild people had begun to appear in Shennongjia, and it was possible to carry out sneak attacks from time to time, and they would inevitably have to go on a person when they walked.

The more they went to the depths of Shennongjia, the more they could feel that this place was completely different from the outside world, as if Shennongjia was a strange place in the world, and the more they believed what the peasant uncle said!

Shennongjia area, it is likely to be the hiding place of the last Fangshi in the pre-Qin period, they have experienced so many strange things, already know that Shennongjia is not simple, remember what the old farmer said when he left, according to the direction and height to determine the main peak of Shennongjia, after going up the mountain, found the old farmer said that the agricultural shrine Ji Temple.

After that, these people stayed in the Shennong Temple, until a few days later, the old farmer took the hunters into the mountain, and then they were found in the Shennong Temple, and all the injured people were taken out of the Nongshen Village to recuperate, and after two months, they were completely improved.
