Chapter 6 The Five Pulses of Kanyu

Let's say that the five families in the same vein are all doing the business of "looking at feng shui, observing the will of heaven, and robbing tombs to make money", but the methods are different, and each has its own reliance.

Stargazing depends on "will".

The astronomer, which began in the Qin Dynasty and was born from Taoism and Yin-Yang, is the origin of the Kanyu lineage. At the beginning of its formation, it was only to show the dignitaries feng shui, choose tombs, and protect future generations. Even today, the children of this vein rarely participate in tomb robbing, which can be regarded as a clear stream among the public opinion. The ability to look at feng shui is the first of the five veins, but he is not good at trapping secret passages, exorcising ghosts and monsters.

Because the knowledge is difficult to understand, the qualifications are extremely high, and it takes more than ten years of painstaking practice before becoming a teacher; The book "Stargazing", which was once a treasure of the sect, has been lost.

Touching gold depends on "device".

In order to make up for the lack of military salaries, Cao Cao set up the post of captain of the gold school and specialized in tomb robbing. Good at cracking mechanisms, manufacturing all kinds of utensils: magic weapons, talismans, swords, pockets emerge in an endless stream, the tombs of all dynasties, regardless of the north and south, all kinds of situations can be dealt with. Because of his good adaptability and his teaching qualifications, there are many sects in the rivers and lakes, and the most descendants are among the five veins.

Faqiu relies on "skills".

Faqiu Tianguan, formerly known as Faqiu Zhonglang General, was the same as the captain of the Jin, and was a court official in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but later it became a family inheritance, so he regarded himself as "Faqiu Tianguan". Its tools are relatively simple, mainly based on accumulating experience, advocating improvisation, and asking for a "skillful" word. Unlike the tributaries of the gold touch, which have many big factions, Faqiu is almost all family business, passed down from hand to mouth, has no fixed residence, and is relatively scattered.

Moving mountains depends on "art".

The mountain movers were the latest of the five veins, probably starting in the Western Regions at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty (Tang, Anxi Duhufu). He is good at dealing with ghosts and monsters in the tombs, and studying the strange techniques in the world's feng shui, covering: the Central Plains, Tianzhu, Dashi, Nanzhao, Fusang and other secret methods, changing them and adopting them for their own use. Some sects have a lot to do with "yin and yang" and "home".

Unloading the ridge depends on the "body".

There is no exact time of formation. Roughly speaking, other Jianghu sects have entered the school formed by Kanyu's business. Learn a trick in the east, learn a skill in the west, the foundation is not solid, rely on its superb foreign kung fu to deal with different situations, tomb robbery is also mostly small tombs, dare not enter the tomb of the prince alone, like to act together with other branches of its Kanyu. Among the five veins, the status is the lowest.

Li Bing and Wei Ze both came here for the first time and were attracted by the inscriptions on the side of these hundreds of large and small stone caves. Even if it is empty now, you can roughly guess the vastness of this treasure cave at that time.

"Didn't you say that the Faqiu family didn't have any sects, who could make such a big treasure hiding place?" Wei Ze's Yongda Tang is also in the antique business, and he knows a little bit about the doorways here.

"The small family definitely doesn't have this background. Ji Zihuan pointed to the foundation stone cave: "Look at these tombs marked on them, from Qin to Tang, most of them are the tombs of princes and generals, and ordinary people can't get in." Besides, these 100 tombs are not a day's work. Even one of the four largest families in Faqiu would take two generations to get together, to say the least. ”

"The four masters of Faqiu: Chen, Song, Zhu, and Xie. I don't know which one it is?" Wei Ze and Chiren chatted for a few words, and suddenly came back to their senses, and hurriedly walked to the Faqiu emblem on the wall just now, and took a closer look:

The fist-sized mark is a picture of "two mountains between the streams, one water divides", and it is indeed the emblem of Faqiu. It's just that the emblem side of the general hair mound will be marked in the lower right corner with the family name or totem, but there is no here.

"Everything was moved, and I don't know why I gave up such a nice place. Li Bing looked at all the stone caves one by one, such a huge project was in front of him, but he couldn't see all kinds of treasures, which was extremely regrettable.

"Maybe someone else found out about it. 'Faqiu' is not as good at setting up organs for defense as 'touching gold', and there is nothing to rely on in the rivers and lakes. Once the nest is discovered, it can only be transferred, so that this vein is mostly indefinite. Ji Zihuan just explained, and Wei Ze picked up the conversation again:

"Brother Ji is right, there have always been many small families in our hall who come to sell antiques, and within a year or two, all of them will be gone. A few years later, we contacted us in other halls, and so on and again, it was far less stable than the supply of several other companies. ”

The two were originally unfamiliar, but when they suddenly talked about a common topic, they actually began to be brothers.

Li Bing sighed lowly, and after looking at all the stone caves, he had the energy to take a closer look at the huge cave itself. Such a large stone stalactite, layered on top of each other, looks so spectacular, and the people who chose this place as a treasure trove back then also took a fancy to this.

"Well, you look there's something over there. Li Bing pointed to a corner of the cave, under the mountain wall, behind a stone pillar, there was a three-foot-high gray cloth, which seemed to be covered with something, but the gray cloth did not look very old.

Li Bing was just about to leave to look, but Chiren grabbed him: "Brother Li, don't go, it's a dry corpse!"

Chiren also said: "When I found this cave, the dried corpse was here, and its appearance was extremely terrifying. I don't know which senior it is, so I didn't dare to offend, so I took a gray cloth and covered it. I advise you not to look at it. ”

"Oh, let's go check it out. You might even be able to guess which of the Hair Hills is the treasure house. Wei Ze thought that he had a good insight, and since he had the opportunity to know the origin of the cave, he was willing to give up this time and shouted Li Bing to go over together.

He was just about to lift the gray cloth, but Chiren stopped him, first bowed down in front of him, and said lightly, "Rest in peace, don't be surprised", and then grabbed the corner of the gray cloth and opened it suddenly.

"Wow!" Wei Ze had already prepared, but when he saw the corpse, he was still frightened and hid back.

It was a dried skeleton, sitting cross-legged with his hands on his lap. The skin is brown and yellow, and there are many red corpse spots on the body. The most bizarre thing is that his face is distorted, his whole face is melted into a ball, his skin is wrinkled, there are many cracks, and he can't distinguish the position of his eyes, nose and mouth, which looks extremely terrifying.

He was wearing a robe, which had faded in color and was barely recognizable as purple.

According to the rules of the "Taichang Temple" in charge of the temple, the grades of the robe from top to bottom are: purple red, brown red, positive red, dark brown, and earth yellow. If there is a royal gift, you can also use Zhenghuang. There are six colors in total.

The purple-red robe on this corpse was of the highest quality, and the horizontal stripes were gold rather than silver, so he must have been the abbot of a large temple.

But this is even more strange, monks attach great importance to the afterlife, ordinary monks pass away, the body will be sent back to the temple to be cremated into relics, there are few bones left outside, let alone the abbot of the temple.

Li Bing looked at the dried corpse and fell into deep thought, looked at the way he sat down, and remembered something else.

"Judging from the degree of weathering of the bones, it was probably a hundred years ago. Those red spots on his body seem to be poisonous, don't touch them. Judging from the location of those red spots, the corpse's face and internal organs, and even the muscles of its arms were dissolved, and it must have suffered a great deal before it died. The Leopard Venerable "Wuyi Hou" also saw it for the first time, he saluted with his hands, and said:

"If you can meditate and sit in this way, you must be a peerless monk. But I don't know which temple it belongs to. ”

When Li Bing heard this, he muttered even more in his heart: In just half a month, this is the second time he has seen a seated monk. The former one is the black-robed monk in the secret room on the bottom floor of the library tower of Ximing Temple, and that person is likely to be the successor of the "Jade Scepter Crossing the Afterlife" in the "Single Nine Gates", and he is also a peerless monk.

The two bones were probably from a hundred years ago, so what does it matter?

The five of them stood in front of the corpse, and suddenly the light in the cave dimmed. Wei Ze chuckled in his heart, and glanced at his back vigilantly: Isn't it going to trick the corpse to resurrect the soul?

Ji Zihuan looked at his funny appearance and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Little brother, don't be afraid." Which stone trough is about to burn out of the black oil? This thing seeped down from the roof of the cave, and there was only so much in total, and it burned clean after a while, and it would take a few days to come back before it could be lit up again. ”

Wei Ze exhaled a long breath, finally made up his mind, and smiled embarrassedly: "Haha, Brother Ji said he was laughing." I wasn't scared just now. But this stone trough is really exquisite, and if I have a treasure trove of my own, I will make one like this in the future. ”

As he spoke, the light in the cave became even dimer.

"I've come here, I've seen the place, let's go back. Both paper lanterns are still on board. After a while, if the oil in the stone trough is burned out, it will be troublesome. ”

Ji Zihuan urged, and then glanced at the large and small caves full of stone walls: "In the future, we will go to Murowei, and we may not come back for the rest of our lives." It's good if two more people know about this place. It's a shame if no one finds out about such a good place. ”

By the time all five of them had boarded the boat, the glow of the entire stone trough had almost been extinguished, and the glow of the blue-purple fireflies on the top of the cave had become obvious again.

Ji Zihuan propped the oars and drove away in the boat, and Li Bing asked Chiren about his future route.

"Pack these things up today, and someone will come to pick us up in the middle of the night. Not far from Jujuju, more than 30 miles away, is the Yellow River, where Brother Zihuan's boat is already waiting. Along the way, the waterway is slower than the land route, but there are few places that need to be stopped for inspection along the way. It is also not easy to meet people who are integrated with the religion.

After that, from Qizhou (now Jinan) to the ship, change to take a sea ship into the Bohai Sea, to the Andong Prefecture of Qingnipu (now Dalian), and then take the land route, you can get to Murowei. The Mongh Murve, where I lived, was in the northeast of Murwei, near the 'Black Water Pavilion' and the 'Cave Sayings (present-day Sakhalin Island)'. Brother Li Bing wants to have a chance to come and see us. Mughul Murwei, Tuoba is not difficult to find. ”

Just listening to the itinerary, you know how difficult it is to go. The power of Rongjiao is really so big, can it force these two people to this point?

He wanted to hand Chiren a waist card or some other token to make his customs clearance smoother, but he came out in a hurry, and he couldn't find anything for a while, so he had to give up.

As soon as they talked about their future plans, the atmosphere on the boat became low, and even Ji Zihuan began to sigh. It was Wei Ze, who looked at the Yan Shan Boguang above his head and asked, "Brother Ji, is this firefly here poisonous?" I want to catch a few and raise them." ”

"It's not poisonous, but you can't feed it outside, I've tried it. ”

"Oh?!It's good that it's not poisonous, can you slow down the boat a little bit, I'll catch a few." If it is fed, this thing will definitely sell for a good price. Wei Ze has always been full of confidence in himself, and before he grasped it, he had already thought of the prosperous scene of his own business in the future, and his sex was even greater.

Paddling two oars backwards, he stood at the bow of the boat, stretched out his hand to hold the fireflies on the top of the cave, and as soon as he raised his hand, countless blue points of light flew away, only those purple fireflies that could not fly remained.

He held it with both hands, and felt that the roof of the cave was slippery and greasy, but a faint purple light emanated from the palm of his hand, which was very beautiful.

He put his hands in front of his eyes, wanting to see the firefly in full shape. But as soon as he glanced at it, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his hand - where is this firefly, it looks like a stinky maggot from a latrine, but it just glows, and a group of insects are wriggling in the palm of the hand, so it's not disgusting.

There was a chill all over his body, he shook his hand again and again, and was about to turn around and explain to Li Bing, but as soon as he turned around, the back of his head hit a huge stone stalactite, and he was unsteady for a while, and actually fell into the water.

With a "poof", the blue fireflies in the entire cave were startled, like a fairyland.

However, a few people on the boat didn't care about admiring it, so Chiren hurriedly lit the lantern and leaned over to the side of the boat: "Little brother, are you okay?" ”

Li Bing knew that Wei Ze had a good water nature, and he also leaned over to look into the water, but the water was full of projections of fireflies, and he couldn't see people clearly, so he was a little anxious, stood up, and prepared to go into the water to rescue.

"Goo-dong!-goo-dong!" A wave appeared on the surface of the water, and Wei Ze's head popped out, and he only said a word, and then turned around and dived down.

"Wait for me!"

Ji Zihuan also felt strange, he came to this cave no less than twenty times, but every time he only cared about watching fireflies, but he never dived into the water. Could it be that the treasures in the cave have been transferred to the water?

He lined up his head and secretly regretted it: why didn't he think of going into the water to take a look?

Two paper lanterns shone on the water, but nothing could be seen clearly, and everyone waited anxiously.

After a long time, Wei Ze resurfaced:

"Brother Bing'er! It's amazing! There's a big thing under the water! It looks like the remains of an animal, four or five feet long! It's so big! I've never seen it before! Come and see!"

If you don't work hard to renew, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Tomorrow is a new week, and the plan is constantly changing.

Well... Come on!
