Chapter 120: The Nine Curved Circle Toward the Mountain Sheet

The red gourd, is carved from stone, more than a meter high, smooth body, bright red like fire, if it is two thousand years ago, it was erected here, then this two thousand years of the passage of time, the sea may change into a mulberry field, but this stone gourd is like just finished.

When we first saw this gourd, our hearts were all aghast, its color is bright as this, this can be really strange, to the set aside that clump of “dancing grass”, go closer to see, we know that the original is made of red Sake marble as raw material, Sake marble is a natural color of red, the earliest red dyes, is to join the Sake marble powder made of.

This stone carved gourd, the surface has also been coated with a layer of insect repellent ingredients, so that the weeds and vines grow to this neighborhood, but also avoid it, so many years has always been lonely, placed in this valley in the corner of the unobtrusive.

I looked at the red stone gourd, couldn’t help but wonder: “Why not a statue of a toad, but a gourd? If we want to release the shape and potential of the water dragon vein feng shui treasure point completely, it only makes sense that an altar should be built here, or a clan shrine or some other building should be built.”

Because of the location of the edge of the valley, jagged steep mountain walls, hanging down countless vines, three steps away will be covered by all the vines, fat man is anxious, walked forward a few steps, with the engineer shovel to set aside the barricade of vines, in the mountain wall under the discovery of something, turned back to us called: “Come over to this side to see, this is also really have Lai toad.”

Shirley Yang and I heard the sound and went forward, only to see under the cover of countless vines and plants, facing the red stone gourd place, there is a tribute to the God of the mountains of the shrine, built on the mountain, although the topography of this place I can not see clearly, but it should be built in the back of this mountain on the axis of the mountain peaks, the use of the “wedge mountain type wooden frame structure”, divided into front and rear The front facade of the temple has been entangled with vines for countless times, and some of the tiles have already fallen.

The green tiles on the top, and the carved and painted beams, although all have been dilapidated, but because this is the eye of the water dragon vein, quite able to hide the wind and gather the qi, and still retain the general framework, the several layers of the mountain wall “broken worm road”, are due to changes in the soil and water, have lost their role, so what the temple’s wood is rotten, in a large number of plant pressure, but still did not fall, also considered to be the temple’s wood rotting, and in a large number of plants, the pressure, but still did not fall. It is a miracle that the wood of the temple is so rotten that under the pressure of a large number of plants, it has not fallen down.

This ancient building dedicated to the mountain god, quietly in this lonely corner of the valley, peacefully spent endless years, this all depends on the special wood and frame craft, as well as the special environment of the valley rarely rainfall.

Just don’t know that the red stone gourd placed in front of the shrine door, is for what purpose, may be related to the form of this mountain god, the ancients believe that the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, all have the division of the gods, each mountain and each river, are so, but according to the customs and habits, and geography, different cultural backgrounds, the face of God’s is not the same.

We raised our eyes and saw that although the temple was covered by layers of vines, but for the time being there is no hidden danger of collapse, there are a lot of birds in the neighborhood, have set up their nests on the temple floor, indicating that the air quality here is also no problem, do not have to worry about those poisonous mountain miasma, so we took off our gas masks, rattled the vines in front of the door, the broken gate, a push to fall.

I raised my steps and entered, only to see that the inside of the main hall had also been filled with all kinds of plants, the size of this shrine was not large, the clay statue on the altar of the god had already collapsed, it was a black-faced god with an expressionless face, eyes slightly closed, the body was also clay molded black robes, although it was arched by the vines and collapsed from the seat of the god to the corner of the wall, but it still gave a feeling of grim majesty.

Next to the clay statue of the mountain god, divided into two clay mountain ghosts, both green-faced bureaucratic teeth, like a night fork general, the left holds a fiery red gourd, the right hands hold a toad.

I see these, put only wake up, yes, the original toad and gourd, are the things of the mountain god master, only do not know this mountain god master, want these two things to do what hook.

The fat man said: “probably with the gourd wine, drink, eat toad do drink dishes, big gold teeth that grandson is not like this mouth it, but he ate the leg of the chicken.”

I see this mountain god temple in the desolate and miserable, overgrown weeds, really easy to move people wai, can’t help but think of the days when we were poor fat man sold watches, heart feel some bad taste, then fat man and Shirley Yang said: “the mountain god is a secluded blessing of the God’s side, built the temple should be subjected to incense offerings, and now it seems to be like this deserted scene, it is really rise and fall a number of even the mountain god master also has a difficult time. Even the mountain god master also has a hard time, let alone the common people, really is the yin and yang a reason, success or failure.”

Shirley Yang said to me: “You say this many words, is it possible that you want to play what ghost idea? Is it hard to believe that you still want to make sacrifices?”

I shook my head and said, “Worship is not necessary, let’s not take action, push this fallen clay statue back to its original position, and give the mountain god a toast to the American cigarettes, so that he will bless us with a smooth trip, don’t make any mistakes, and in the future we can get an inch of progress, and then come back to reshape the golden body and add incense.”

Fatty said: “I see what to believe what to seek, simply not half useful, I just do not believe in the sky do not believe in the earth, only believe in their own arms and legs, this mountain god grandson if really have the spirit, how even their own can not be protected, according to my point of view, let this grandson lying the best, as the saying goes, delicious but dumplings, standing as well as upside down well, go, to the back to see. ”

I see no one is willing to help, had to give up, followed by Shirley Yang and Fatty, into the back of the temple, the back of the temple has been built in the “Valley of the Bugs” on the left side of the mountain peaks inside, more narrow than the front of the temple, in the middle of the road to see is the “Cuishi screen”, there is a painted image of the God of the mountains, the figure with the mud in the main hall, and the body of the God of the Mountain, the God of the Mountain. The figure and the main hall in the clay sculpture is similar, only relatively speaking is relatively fuzzy, do not see very clear appearance, no mountain ghosts on both sides of the accompaniment, this stone screen does not seem to be artificially engraved and painted, but the texture of the naturally occurring.

Turned “Cuishi screen”, at the very end of the temple, is horizontally lined up nine huge toad statues, I looked at the eye felt bright, really should be “nine curved back to the ring” of the number of this mechanism in the understanding of the “Dragon Scripture” in the eyes of people, it is very clear that the “Dragon Scripture”. “The eyes of people who know” Yi Long Jing “is very obvious, if you do not understand the essence of the secret art of feng shui, only know the I Ching Bagua, most likely as” Nine Palace “number to do to cope with, so that a lifetime can not find the dark tunnel.

I took a closer look, found nine stone toad’s mouth, there are open and closed, toad head direction is also different, these toads carved in stone mouth can be active, there are stone grooves can be rotated body, nine toads each have four directions can be rotated, coupled with toad’s mouth open and close, if you figure out how many different kinds of arrangement, but also to really cost a lot of brains, and these stone organs, should be from left to right, according to the order of one by one to promote, if the If you move them randomly and can’t get the right position three times in a row, the machine will be completely stuck.

So I asked Fatty to help me, according to the number of “nine curved loop”, from left to right, the first toad mouth respectively open and close, and then “sixteen words yin and yang feng shui secret art” in the “Shield” scroll, with the “easy dragon classic The stone toads were arranged one by one according to the corresponding directions using the “Shield” scroll in the “Sixteen Characters of Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art” and the “Yi Long Jing” conversion recipe.

After doing this series of things, there is no reaction in the inner hall, according to this “nine curved circle towards the mountain umbrella” should not be wrong, why do not see a secret door open?

Shirley Yang mind turn faster, let us go to the temple outside to see, we hurriedly turned around to the outside to look for, and finally found the mountain god outside the temple, only to see the temple in front of the gourd do not know when, cracked into two halves, the following reveals a stone door.

This stone door was repaired into the shape of a toad’s mouth, flat and short, also made of fiery red Sake Yunshi, engraved with some simple decorations, respectively, in the left and right there are two large copper ring, can be lifted upwards.

The original design of this mechanism is exquisite, even if someone knows that the nine toads is to open the stone door of the mechanism, as long as they do not know how to crack the hair, even if a large number of explosives to blow up the flat, but also can not be found in the outside of the entrance.

Shirley Yang asked: “this stone door repair is very odd, how like a toad mouth, I do not know what is inside the hall of fame, which really have to the main tomb of the tunnel?”

I said to Shirley Yang, “The mark on the Zhenling Spectrum is correct, this should be an underground passageway, and it must be able to lead to the nearest to the water dragon halo that cave eye star position, go to the Minglou sacrifice, it seems that the only way to reach it is to pass through from here, as for why the toad is used as a mark, I can’t guess it either.”

Toad in ancient China, there are a lot of symbolic meaning of the form, there is a kind of New Year’s paintings, on the painting is a fat child, holding a fishing rod, hanging a money, and a three-legged toad play, called Liu Hai’er play golden toad, the proverb says three-legged toad is hard to find, is derived from this allusion, but there are some places, in the folk tradition and custom, deliberately highlighting the toxicity of the toad, but now we are opposite to this two However, the two stone statues of toads opposite to us are not three-legged, and there are no warts or echoes on their bodies, so they may just be the playthings of the God of the Mountain.

Fatty patted the “Chicago Typewriter” in his hand and said, “The worst thing is that we will bump into a big toad down there, and with this kind of gun, we are still afraid of it.

Since the American sub-machine gun powerful firepower, we are indeed like more a big backer, but I still reminded the fat man: “King Xian’s tomb is very tightly arranged, this stone door although hidden, but there is no guarantee that there are still some powerful organs inside, we go down after the soldiers come to the block, water to cover the earth, there is no need to be afraid.”

Said the three hands together, with a rope through the copper ring on the side of the stone door, force to raise, with the “bang” sound of the stone door opened, revealing a narrow channel, I use the flare gun, aiming at the depths of a flare, cut through the darkness of the underground, the white light shines in the depths of the cavern, we saw that there are countless huge white bone and ivory, a martyrdom ditch on a vast scale.
