Chapter 80: The Mountain Moving Taoist

Deep in the Taklamakan Desert, “Zagrama Mountain”, under the black mountain, buried countless secrets, perhaps it really is the same as the name of the mountain range, Zagrama in the ancient Chinese language means “mysterious”, but also interpreted as a “sacred mountain”. “In any case, it is difficult for the mortals living around Zagrama to penetrate its mysteries.

In the ancient times, that once gave birth to a nameless tribe honored as “saints”, let’s call it “Zagrama Tribe”, tribal people from the distant continent of Europe migrated from the Zagrama mountain in Zagrama live with the world do not know how many years, until people inadvertently in the belly of the mountain, the mountain is a “mystery”, but also interpreted as “God Mountain”, in short, it is difficult to understand the mysteries of the mortals living around Zagrama. Until people inadvertently in the belly of the mountain, found the bottomless “ghost hole”, the tribe’s sorcerer told the people, in the ancient East, there is a golden jade eye, can see the truth of the ghost hole, so they imitated the creation of a jade eye, used to worship “ghost hole”, from that moment onwards, the tribesmen migrated from the distant continent of Europe, living in the Zagrama Mountain, I do not know how many years. “From that moment on, bad luck came to this tribe.

After that Zagrama tribe, was abandoned by the true God, the plague constantly, the tribe as the leader of the saint that this must be related to the “ghost hole”, once the door of the plague is open, and then want to close it can be difficult, in order to avoid these terrible plagues, had to give up the home of the life of many years, migrated to the far east, and gradually integrated into the civilization of the Central Plains. The so-called “plagues” were the first to be introduced into the civilization of the Central Plains.

What are the so-called “plagues”? From the present point of view, it can be said to be a kind of virus, a kind of virus infected through the eyes. Anyone who has seen the Ghost Cave with his own eyes will develop a kind of red echidna in the shape of an eyeball after a period of time, which can never be eliminated in the whole life.

After 40 years old, the iron element in the blood will gradually decrease. The reason why human blood is red is because of the iron in the blood, if the iron in the blood slowly disappears, the blood will gradually become sticky and the oxygen supply to the brain will decrease, and it will be more and more difficult to breathe, and finally when they die, the blood will have become yellow.

This painful process would last for ten years, and their children and grandchildren, although they would not have red echidna anymore, would still suffer from iron deficiency, and finally, like their ancestors, they would die in extreme agony. Since they were not like the later Jingjia people, who only had a few clergymen who had seen the Ghost Cave, but most of the people in the tribe had seen the Ghost Cave with their own eyes, they had no choice but to leave their home towns.

After migrating to the Central Plains, they discovered a pattern after several generations of observation, the farther away from the ghost cave, the later the onset of the disease, but no matter what, this symptom has always existed, one generation after another, dying in agony, any words are not enough to describe the pain of the blood turned yellow coagulation.

In order to find a way to crack this pain, everyone in the tribe have tried their best, how many years later to the Song Dynasty, finally found an important clue, in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in the silt, found a huge bronze tripod, the tripod for the middle of the Shang Dynasty products.

This tripod deep belly concave bottom, under the four feet, powerful and heavy, and cast a beautiful cicada pattern, tripod is an important ancient ritual, especially in the Bronze Age, bronze mines are controlled in the hands of the government, the smelting process level of bronze, marking the degree of a country’s power, the emperor casting tripods used to sacrifice to the heaven and earth ancestors, and casting inscriptions on the tripod to the heaven and earth to report on a number of important things, and in addition to be used for the reward of the vassal nobility of the vassal’s merit. In addition, bronze was often used to reward the nobles and officials for their achievements. In order to record this great honor, the recipients would order the people to use the bronze they received as raw material to build objects to commemorate these important events at that time.

The descendants of the Zagrama tribe found one such bronze tripod that recorded a major event. The thirty-second monarch of the Shang Dynasty, Wuding, was once given a jade eyeball dyed with gold, which was said to have been found in a collapsed mountain peak, along with a red robe.

King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty thought that this ancient jade eyeball was left behind after the immortalization of the Yellow Emperor, and it was so precious that he named it “雮尘珠”, and ordered people to cast a tripod to commemorate the event, and the inscriptions on the bronze tripods were limited to this, and there was no more extra information. (Dash beads, dust beads, red Dan, is since ancient times many times in the history of China’s three sacred beads, of which Dash beads are similar to jade made of mysterious materials, rumored to be the Yellow Emperor sacrificed to the sky, the legend is that it was later used for the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty burial, the mausoleum was destroyed by the farmers’ army, the whereabouts of so far is unknown, the dust beads may be the world’s earliest discovery of radioactive substances, the beads were found in Shaanxi, China, when the discovery of a malicious looting incident, the tunnel was found to be the first to be discovered, the beads were found in China, due to a vicious looting incident, the tunnel was found in the city of Shaanxi, the beads are found in the city of Shanxi. It was found in Shaanxi, China, and when it was discovered, the tunnel disappeared due to a vicious looting incident. The Red Dan is the most legendary, according to legend, the legend of the Dan from the three gods mountain, has the effect of the transformation of bones, always for the palace secret stash, lost in the late Northern Song Dynasty.)

The descendants of Zagrama tribe, many of whom are good at divination, through divination, they believe that this ancient jade eyeball dyed with gold dipping is the eye of the God of Heaven, and that only by sacrificing this ancient jade eyeball to the Ghost Cave can we offset the disaster caused by the previous clan sorcerers who made that jade eye to spy on the secrets of the Ghost Cave, and this ancient jade which was once possessed by Wuding has changed hands for several times in wars, and is now most likely to have been buried in the ancient graveyard of a royal nobleman or a prince. Royal nobility’s ancient tomb dungeon, became a burial object, but the scope of divination is limited, can not know the exact location.

At this time, the Zagrama tribe, has been migrated to the mainland from the five thousand people, sharply reduced to more than a thousand people, they have long been assimilated into the Han civilization, even the family name with the Han, in order to get rid of the yoke of the disease, they had to be dispersed to various parts of the ancient tombs looking for “尘珠”，These people, a branch of the four major tomb raiding system.

Since ancient times, professional grave robbers, according to the different means of action, are divided into four factions, Fachou, Toujin, Moanshan, Shiling, Zagrama tribal descendants, most of them learned the “Moanshan split armor art”, usually with the identity of Taoist priests in disguise, with “Moanshan Taoist” self-proclaimed.

There is a big difference between “Movers of Mountains” and “Captains of Gold Touching”, which can be seen from the title, “Movers of Mountains” adopt the horn type of grave robbing, which is a kind of destructive means mainly utilizing external force, while “Captains of Gold Touching” adopt the “Tomb Raiding” technique, which is a kind of “Tomb Raiding” technique mainly utilizing external force. means, while the “touch gold” is more focused on the technical aspects.

Zagrama tribal descendants of the “mountain moving Taoist”, in the years since then, I do not know how many ancient tombs to look for, the clues are broken and continued, continued and broken ……

In this kind of hedge search, “雮尘珠” is still unaccounted for, with the passage of time “moving mountain art” is declining, the talent withered, to the Republic of China years, the country is only left with the last young “moving mountain Taoists! “, this person is the most famous grave robbers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, only because it makes a good mouth technique, the world’s best, so this person to send the nickname “partridge whistle”, over time, all the people have forgotten what his real name, only to “partridge whistle” Called, will make light work, best at cracking the tomb in a variety of organs, and gun law as God, not only in the fight line, even in the green forest, also has a good name.

“Partridge Whistle” respect according to the ancestor’s legacy, according to the trace of the occasional clues, everywhere to track down the whereabouts of the “雮 dust beads”, and finally the target landed in the Western Xia country of a treasure cave, the legend that the treasure cave is not far away from the abandoned ancient Xixia Heishui City, was originally built as an important minister of the Western Xia country, and the treasure cave was built as an important minister of the Western Xia country. As the Xixia country some important ministers to build the mausoleum, but the Xixia country was finally massacred by the Mongols, the princes and ministers had not yet had time to convergence, the important treasures of the palace, are hidden inside, it is possible that “雮 dust beads” is also in it, but the ground does not have any sealing soil and other features, extremely difficult to find.

“Partridge Whistle” this “mountain moving Taoist”, do not understand feng shui astrology, in terms of technology is impossible to find the treasure cave, then his people, there are no more, and then can not find the “雮 dust beads “, this ancient tribal lineage is likely to be extinct, see the tragic situation of their own people dying, “Partridge Whistle” had to turn to the Feng Shui specializing in gold fixed points of the “Gold Mapper”.

But at that time the world was in turmoil, Fachou, touch the gold, moving mountains, unloading the ridge of the four major factions, almost all cut off the flame, still know “moving mountains” this set of content, may be the only one left “Partridge Bird Whistle” a person, Fachou, unloading the ridge is as early as how many dynasties before it did not exist.

And at that time, not many people did the “gold inspector”, counting, the country are not more than ten, that era, engaged in grave robbing activities, more from the warlords led by the “official thief”, or folk “loose thief The “Partridge Whistle” is the most important part of the “Partridge Whistle”.

“Partridge Whistle” found a monk who had become a monk to touch the gold colonel, begged him to teach him the secret art of dividing the gold to determine the points, this monk’s name is “up” and “dust”, Dust Elder! This monk’s nickname was “Dust”, and he was once a gold-mining lieutenant who had done a lot of big fights, but in his later years, he saw through the world and became a monk.

Dust Venerable advised the “partridge whistle” said: “the world is no more, people from the trouble, my Buddha is most at ease, just a smile is enough, how do you not see open it, the old monks have been a gold-plundering lieutenant, although the goods, most of them are used in the people, but the old man sat quietly and thought, the heart is really difficult to stabilize, so that those Precious artifacts to see the light of day, the world will therefore, how much more born out of the bloody storm, artifacts of this kind of thing, whether it is their own use, or sold for good, is not good, in short, the line of this dumping, are too deep sins ……”

“Partridge Whistle” reluctantly, the truth out, the dust master heard the original reason, then moved the good idea, ready to “touch the gold” of the rules of the trade means are taught to the “partridge whistle”, but according to rules But according to the rules, “partridge whistle” first to set up a casting order, in order to grant him the gold touching talisman.

Historically, the activities of the bucket, are carried out in the dark, no matter how the motive, can not be exposed, so the rules of the line is not sloppy, the dust master told the “partridge whistle”: “I was here when I became a monk, I once saw an ancient tomb in the vicinity of the temple has not yet been inverted by the bucket, the location of the temple outside the mountain, ten miles northwest, there is a piece of barren hill, the temple has a small, but the partridge whistle, the partridge whistle, the partridge whistle. Ten miles northwest, there is a piece of wild mountains, where there is a half of the wordless stone monument, under which there is an ancient tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty, the external features remain only that half of the monument, under the monument is a tomb, the tomb is located in a remote area, has never been stolen, but the acupuncture point is not well chosen, such as the broken sword type. You according to what I said, this night to the tomb to get the tomb owner a set of big convergence of clothing to, as your cast, whether you can successfully retrieve, depending on the ancestor reward you for this craft.”

Subsequently the dust master gave “partridge whistle” a set of guys, are “touch the gold lieutenant” supplies, and told him to remember, touch the gold line within the rules, “touch the gold” is the most important focus on the inverted bucket A technical school, and the longest origin, many lines of general lip dictionary sets of mouth, most of them are from the officer of the Golden Touches mouth passed on, for example, nowadays grave robbers, say they are “pouring bucket” craftsmen, but why is grave robbing called “pouring bucket”? But why is grave robbing called “dumping”? I’m afraid that many people can not say, this word is the earliest from the gold inspector on the tomb of a vivid depiction of grave robbers, China’s large tombs, in addition to repair in the belly of the mountain, most of the above have a mound of sealing to the Qin mausoleum, for example, the shape of the mound of sealing is similar to the shape of a measure of rice with a bucket, reversed buckle on the ground, the Mingqi dungeon in a bucket, the easiest way to take out the Mingqi, that is, the bucket is over the open open to open, so it’s called the inverted bucket.

Such allusions, as well as a variety of taboos to speak, “partridge whistle” unheard of before, moving mountain Taoist can not so many hall of fame, listened to the dust of the elder’s explanation, a great sense of enlightenment.

Dust Elder’s last repeated advice, is the rules of the trade, to be in the southeast corner of the chamber lit candles, light will open the coffin to touch the gold, if the light is out, then quickly back, in addition not to take the extra things, not to destroy the coffin, a chamber can only be in and out of a back and forth, to try to backfill the hole when you leave ……

“Partridge Whistle” that night, alone to find the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty tomb monument, when it was late, the sky cloudy floating, the moon in the dark clouds in the regiment of the hidden, the night wind blowing in the woods in the withered branches of the night, seems to be the ghosts cry God howl.

“Partridge whistle” this will no longer use their own “moving mountain armor”, but in accordance with the instructions of the Dust Master, in order to touch the gold inspector’s techniques to play a straight to the tomb of the hole.

At that moment, prepared the ink bucket, bundled corpse rope, probing yin claw, candles, soft corpse incense, black donkey hooves and glutinous rice and other things, ate a corpse gas avoidance “red trousseau wonderful heart pill”, will be a German twenty ring mirror box gun nose open, inserted in the waist, and with a wet cloth masked the mouth and nose.

The dust elder said that the tomb situation is chaotic, the wind against the gas is fierce, shape like a broken sword, the potential is like overturning the boat, in this kind of standard ferocious cave, may be brewed out of the corpse, but the “Partridge Whistle” has experienced a hundred battles, and then the perilous tomb no longer talk about the tomb kind of genie ghosts and monsters, zongzi yinsha, black murder white murder, in the past few years had killed not a hundred, there is also eighty. There are eighty.

“Partridge whistle” thought: “this time is the dust elder test their courage and means, must not fall the partridge whistle three words in the fight line loud and clear name.” So ready, looked up at the hazy moon in the sky, carrying a horse lamp, took a deep breath, drilled into the cave.

“Partridge Whistle” with agile hands, not long to drill into the main chamber, the tomb is not large, the height is also very limited, looks very depressing, the ground piled up a lot of artifacts, “Partridge Whistle” on those trivial burial objects do not look at, after going in, they are Find the southeast corner of the tomb, lit a candle, turned to look at the coffin of the tomb owner, and found that there is no coffin, only the coffin, is a copper corner of the gold coffin, the whole coffin is copper, in the “partridge whistle” of the grave robbing career, this coffin is the first time to see, I have only heard of this copper corner of the gold coffins in order to prevent the owner of the tomb Chaji corpse and specially made, the reason for using such a copper corner of the gold coffins is to prevent the tomb owner to Chaji corpse and specially made, the reason for using such a copper corner of the gold coffins is to prevent the tomb owner to Chaji body. The reason why the use of such a copper angle gold coffins to convergence, probably because the tomb owner was buried before, there have been some signs of necrosis.

But “partridge whistle” art high people bold, with the exploration of yin claw open the heavy coffin lid, only to see the coffin is a woman, face like life, just thirty years old or so, is a noblewoman look, two cheeks slightly bulging, which shows that her mouth contains embalming beads, head full of gold and silver gestures.

Covered with a layer of embroidered quilt, from the upper body, the female body wearing nine sets of coffin clothes, only pick her outermost set down, back to the account, “Partridge Whistle” turned over and jumped into the coffin, took out the bundling rope, wrapped around their own body twice, in the chest to tie a knot, and the other end to make a rope ring similar to hanging with, set the neck of the female body.

“Partridge whistle” hold breath lying in the coffin, and the female corpse face to face, in the coffin point a piece of soft corpse incense, soft corpse incense can quickly put the hardened corpse smoked soft, smooth hand on the side of the face of the Southern Song female corpse, sit backward in the coffin on the legs of the female corpse, adjusted the length of the rope to bind the dead body, a head up to straighten his waist, due to the neck of the rope to bind the dead body of the pull, the female corpse is also at the same time as he sat down, the female corpse. The female corpse also sat up with him at the same time.

(The gold lieutenant with one end of the rope in his chest, one end of the rope made into a sleeve tied to the neck of the corpse, in order to make the body stand up, and they can free their hands to take off the clothes of the body, because the gold lieutenant is riding on the body, the body stood up, it is shorter than the gold lieutenant a piece of the body, so the rope are wrapped around the chest, and the other end of the rope around the body’s neck, so as to maintain the level. Later, this art flowed to the civilian robbers, but did not get the details, with the rope is ordinary rope, rope no ink, and the civilian robbers did not figure out the tie of the rope, their side is not wrapped around the chest, but also and the corpse end of the same, set on their own necks, there are a lot of people because of the method is not appropriate, confused death on this side.)

“Partridge Whistle” with the body rope to pull up the female body, just want to unlock the female body to wear in the outermost of the convergence of clothing, suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind, turn around and look at the south-east corner of the chamber of the candle flame, was blown by the wind fluttering, seems to be extinguished at any time, “Partridge Whistle “At this moment and the female corpse was tied together by the body rope, see that the candle is about to go out, secretly said:” bad”. It seems that this set of “big return to the convergence of clothing” is not to get, however, the opposite body suddenly opened its mouth, from the closed mouth fell out of a black and purple beads.
