Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 35 Dragon Viewing Diagram ([-])
We broke into the rat den, held up the gas lamp to take a look, and saw that we were surrounded by ancient bricks. The bricks were so big that they looked like stone slabs. It is very simple, many places have been sunken due to disrepair, plus the holes made by wild rats, and the growth and erosion of the roots above, the tunnel in front of us is full of holes, beyond recognition, in the panic and darkness, we It is also impossible to distinguish carefully what this is.

There are countless worms and white eggs in the old tree roots and soil deep into the top of the stone. It can be seen that the mice built the rat mountain just now to eat the eggs. On the ground, the big ones couldn't get into the rat hole, but at this time, a big gap was collapsed in the cave where the rats gathered, so the big and small gnats rushed to devour the fleeing wild rats.

In order to avoid the menacing gnats outside the cave, we had no choice but to retreat step by step to the depths of this mysterious tunnel. The most troublesome thing was that Lao Yangpi had a swollen belly and lost all his sanity. Pulling his two arms upside down, dragging him in all directions, and the only source of light is this dim old kerosene lamp in my hand, which can't illuminate three or five steps away. Pushing away the voles gathered on the ground is not so much escaping into the depths of the tunnel as it is "rubbing" inside.

After walking a few steps, I heard another commotion among rats behind me. I thought that gnats had entered the tunnel. I looked around and saw that the old bricks in front of me were loosened by tree roots. External force, this section of the tunnel must collapse, and now the only option is to resort to dangerous tactics. If it is buried alive, it will be accepted, so let Fatty and Ding Sitian drag Lao Yangpi forward quickly, the sooner the better, Regardless of the movement behind him, he inserted the "Kangxi Precious Knife" into the sheath, and used the handle of the knife to aim at the stone bricks above his head, pounding and prying.

As soon as the two stone bricks were pried off, the soil and gravel on them rolled down one after another. I didn't dare to stay, so I pulled out and heard a "bang", and the roof of the tunnel fell down immediately, smashing the big and small wild rats below. A lot of people died, and those gnats couldn't get through for the time being. I wiped the sweat off my brow, turned around and caught up with Fatty and the others who had walked some distance away.

The fat man heard the movement behind and asked me if I had smashed the roof of the tunnel. I said that this time the retreat was cut off, and I could only hope that there was another exit ahead.Faced with this situation, the three of them panicked somewhat. This tunnel is dark and endless, and they don't know if there is another exit. Although there are still many big-eyed thieves here, the big-eyed thieves can get out. We can't get out of the hole. If we are buried alive in this stinky and muddy rat nest, this way of death is too useless.

My grandfather used to make a living by looking at geomantic omens and got to know some craftsmen who rob graves. I heard from him that tomb thieves do the work of traveling through the world of Yin and Yang. The thing that Dao Dou fears the most is being buried alive in the ground, that is the worst way to die.

However, among the people who fight against each other, there is the "Mojin School Guard" who is good at looking at the land. Come on, the universe has great closure, and mountains and rivers have true temperament. They regard mountains and rivers as living beings. Margaret is the complexion", as long as you can feel the pulse of life in the mountains and rivers, you will be able to find the "gate of life" in the desperate situation.

Of course, I didn’t understand these profound geomantic mysteries at that time. I just remembered that my grandfather probably said this, and I couldn’t help feeling a little envious of "Captain Mojin". "Captain Mojin" is here, can they tell where this dark underground tunnel leads to?I even feel that this tunnel made of ancient bricks is very similar to the tomb passage in the tomb robbery story. Maybe there will be a big coffin at the end.

I was thinking wildly to take over from Ding Sitian, and lifted the old sheepskin with the fat man. Ding Sitian was carrying a shotgun on his back and held up a lamp to illuminate us. The three of them groped forward and walked slowly. Having said that, Ding Sitian wondered: "When we were connected, I also heard you tell the story of feng shui tomb robbery. Could it be that your ancestors were in this business?"

Before I could answer, the fat man answered for me: "Old Hu's grandfather is a big landlord. After being discovered by the revolutionary masses, he has already been criticized and stepped on [-] feet. He even gave Lao Hu a crown." The hat of the filial son and grandson of the landlord class. Otherwise, why didn’t he become a soldier? My situation is exactly the opposite of his. In fact, our family’s ancestors are all beggars. Isn’t it glorious to be so poor? But our old man has a history The problem was not clearly explained, and it seems that there are more or less existing problems. Until now, I have not figured out whether it is the anti-revolution or the anti-revolution. As a result, I was also labeled as a white-college seedling of revisionism, and I was also not allowed to join the army. You said that my red heart is shining, isn't it obvious to all? Who the hell have I provoked?"

Fatty's words touched everyone's pain points, and all three of them looked sad. I thought to myself that there is nothing to mention about these bad things. Tian said: "My grandfather did have a few acres of poor land, but he was not a big landlord, nor was he a tomb robber, but he knew some masters who were in the fight, and he had seen big rice dumplings with his own eyes." I was worried that they would not understand the jargon, He also explained that Daodou is tomb robbery, and zongzi is the corpse in the tomb. I heard from my grandfather that there are 360 ​​lines in the world, and the best in every line of work, but in fact, the traditional Chinese industry that can sing songs is a system, which is divided into 72 lines. , each has its own heritage and ancestors, such as butchers, tailors, carpenters, tomb robbers, thieves, etc. Do you know what is the most awesome industry here?There is a saying that is very incisive: "72 lines, tomb robbers are king." Because the technology and knowledge, courage, craftsmanship required by tomb robbery, as well as the rewards and risks obtained by tomb robbery, are completely incomparable to the other 71 lines, not only that. , the world also recognizes that "tomb robbers fight against each other, and touching gold is king." Therefore, "Mojin Xiaowei" is the real king of kings in traditional Chinese occupations.

The fat man pretended to understand and said, "Oh, after a long time of trouble, do you think we have walked into a tomb passage now? In fact, I don't think there is anything terrible about tomb robbery. Isn't ancient tomb a place where the dead are buried? Those emperors and generals in feudal society Haven't all the talented and beautiful women been defeated by everything?"
