Chapter 26 Golden Wind Cottage
Partridge whistle that bottle mountain in the back of the mountain, there are countless poisons borrowed from the mountain in the medicinal potential to raise the shape of refining, sooner or later will brew into a big trouble, whether it is not to steal the hair of the mountain in the ancient mounds, have to find ways to eliminate their roots, but must first look for a look at the bottle near the mountain, see what the natural creation of things, you can restrain that poison in the mountain.
Chen blind man is a very fast people, listen to the understanding, there is a “weak for the strong system, not in the shape of the huge and small”, as if it is “three inches of bamboo leaves green, can bite several zhang long python”, as long as to find out the secluded poison mirage of the treasures, what to worry about stealing bottles Hill Tomb? His face moved, clapped the table, praised: “heard the gentleman a word, really like the clouds to see the sun, think of those hidden in the ancient tomb of a hundred years of poisonous, sucked in the mountain in the drug gas and the yin obscure in the underground palace, once got the road, will certainly specialize in harming people, and the consequences of its unimaginable, our unloading ridge group of thieves, even if not to take the tomb of the treasures, but also to the results of the cut off they can be the merit of this line through, may be able to use this to become immortal! Maybe it can be used to become immortal …… “He always do not believe in gods and Buddhism to cultivate immortality, but at this time to say, is to let the moving mountain Taoist know, Changsheng mountain in the good man is not just to rob tombs for money, traditionally have the heart to save the people in the fire and water.
The two discussed for a long time, decided to go to the Bottle Mountain near a few Miao village in a walk, so disguise, partridge whistle although the eyebrows between the heavy killing, but he has long been in the mountains hooked, but also through the local dialects, know the customs, if it is dressed as a young man of the ice seedlings, as long as it is not a big connoisseur in the Greenwood, and will never reveal a half-break.
But Chen blind man used to do the rudder in the Changsheng Mountains, a look at the appearance of the jianghu people, never do the business, so can only pretend to be a fortune teller, or the geomancy of the geomancer, or else is the seventy-two lines in the craftsmen.
So partridge whistle had to play with him as a “carpenter ink master” companion, Xiangxi hammock many, often have carpenters walk the mountains and villages, to help families repair doors and windows, for some of the mountain goods for a living, this kind of ink master, known as “Za Lou ink master” in the mountains, even in the mountains and dense forests. This kind of ink master in the mountains is called “Zalou ink master”, even in the deep mountains and dense forests, as long as there is a walled village residents of the place, there are traces of Zalou ink master, will not cause any suspicion.
Chen blind identity is very high, go where there is no less than with many followers of the men, now mute Kunlun Mole and flower ant abduction have been folded, unloading the ridge group of pirates how to rest assured that the leader with a mountain moving Taoist into the mountains, and Luo Laocuan injury has not healed, can not walk, and finally had to let the red girl followed by Chen blind and the partridge whistle, and another twenty brethren, are armed with a fast gun, far fall behind them secretly receive, because Luo Laocuan’s troops in the Bottle Mountain even digging and bombing, the commotion is not small, alarmed the nearby several warlords and bandits, those people are not the background of Changsheng Mountain, only to the Bottle Mountain Tomb is also coveted, but these several ways of manpower are not as powerful as Luo Laocun, but also see the unloading of the Ridge group of thieves suffered a loss, they do not dare to act rashly, just keep sending probes to spy on the movement in the vicinity of, want to take advantage of the opportunity to fish a little bit of oil, so unloading of the Ridge leader wants to go into the mountains to collect Plate, really is to risk a lot of risk, have to be well prepared, so as to avoid accidents.
Partridge whistle in the eyes, the heart is quite disdainful, frowned and waited for half a day, Chen blind man this deployment is completed, with the partridge whistle, red girl, three people dressed as walking the mountain Zhalou ink master, another teach that was captured by the familiar seedling “hole barbarians” to do the guide to lead the way, all the way down the old Bear Ridge into the mountains.
Bottle mountain near the sparsely populated, just scattered a few sparsely populated village, near the South Village, were driven into the mountains of the engineering troops scared to escape to avoid chaos, in the hole barbarians under the guidance of the partridge whistle and others through the mountains of a deep valley, and cast the North Village came.
This part of the road terrain is more dangerous, almost all of the primitive jungle, there is no path to go, in general, describing the mountains and water color, often use “beautiful scenery” to describe, and this is known as the local people “sand knife ditch” valley, but can only be used to “Scenery beautiful” to describe, the eyes see, all are strange peaks, rocks across the sky, hundreds of meters deep canyon, there are thousands of steep upright, different shapes of stalagmites, a clump of straight to the blue sky, the sea of clouds in the valley, the fog waves rolled, the seat of the dangerous rocks in the clouds and mists in the hidden, all the way to the end, can not see that many strange and wonderful! The scenery.
Well in the hole barbarians familiar with the situation in the mountains, in the strange valleys will not get lost, and hole barbarians timid and afraid of things, know that Chen blind man and others are the head of the warlords, carefully wait everywhere, which have the courage to escape, in addition to this person is still a smoker smoking cigarettes, locals call this kind of people as “smokers”, Luo Laocuan’s troops in many soldiers are double guns, this double gun is “a murder gun, a big smoking gun”, rewarded him with some of the best “Fukushou cream”, hole barbarians is a poor one, this life hither and thither, only to chase some small profits, that the best “Fukushou cream”, he is a poor man, this life hither and thither, only to chase some small profits, that the best “Fukushou cream”, he is a poor man, he is a poor man, he is a poor man. Fukushou cream”, he usually do not even dare to dream to think, never sucked so freely enjoyable, but also die to serve Chen blind man.
Sand dagger ditch end connected to the bottle mountain, the other end is the largest nearby North Walled City, although the straight-line distance between the two places is not far, but the middle of the road is difficult, few people from this side of the past, Chen Blind and others followed the hole barbarians, all night through the mountains, only to the next day at dawn, heard a piece of the chicken and dogs, before finally arrived in the walled city.
North Walled City, also known as the “Golden Wind Walled City”, as early as a thousand years ago, there are gold seedling settlement, specializing in digging gold veins for a living, and now the walled city is also Yihan are, the mountain people get up early, the day just dawned from the hammock out of the house, each busy with their own work, a hustle and bustle scene, due to the world is too chaotic, the walled city, although secluded in the mountains, but also to guard against thieves and bandits! Come to rob, so the walled village has organized the township brave, holding a soil cannon pike standard, in the mountain pass to check the foreign merchants.
Chen blind and partridge whistle are accustomed to walking the countryside, will not be a few hillbillies dish, in the mountain passes to cope with freely, easily impersonate Za Lou ink division mixed into the fortress, the reason why they want to come in disguise, mainly because of the mountain people to the warlords and bandits hate to the bone, a look at the shadows of those devils, not a row of cannons to put it over, that is, rolled up the household belongings to fly also seem to escape into the mountains, if you want to set up some details of the bottom of the real, but also If you want to set some details out of the real bottom, but also have to disguise, so as not to cause unnecessary panic of the locals.
Walled mountain people see outside to come, are curious to gather around, to see if they are merchants or peddlers of goods, partridge whistle is really good will, see more and more mountain people gathered, will sing a big promise to the crowd, and then shouted up the Za Lou ink master of woodworking ZanKou to, the so-called “ZanKou” is the old society when doing business to make the craft, said to the guests to listen to the “propaganda advertisement words”, “propaganda advertisement words”, “propaganda advertisement words”, “propaganda advertisement words”, “propaganda advertisement words”, “propaganda advertisement words”, “propaganda advertisement words”, “advertisement words”. “Propaganda advertisement”, dedicated to boast of their own means, but also a kind of respect for God, Tu earned good luck sets of mouth, there are sung, there are also read out, the troupe has a play Zan, book-telling book Zan, pulling the fibers of the trumpet Zan, slaughtering pigs there is raw meat Zan, alone to do the carpentry, there are on the beam of the Zan, open the hall Zan dozens of kinds of more.
Partridge whistle on all lines of industry are not proficient, but also for people wit, learn what will be like what, at this moment will be a pass woodworking open hall praise sung, is not those in the mountains to do the work of ordinary carpenters can be compared to listen to those mountain people drink a big applause, all said “good ink master craftsmen, sang a good Zankou,” onlookers of the mountain people so far there has not been a do not like him! The.
Chen blind man and red girl listening to the side, they can not help but impress him, here it seems, the partridge whistle is a young handsome carpenter, every move, imitation is not different, where to see his real identity, will be “the dark of the moon killers, the wind high fire, digging tombs all over the world, divided into armor has the art of” moving the mountain Taoist leader.
Chen blind man worried about their own headwinds by the partridge whistle over, also rushed to help: “told the folks know, don’t look at us siblings three ink master young, can tie the building of the craft is not bad at all, are from the mother’s womb out of the ability to tie the building to tie the chair everything is not fine, mortise and tenon rivets and buttons can be, but all what carpentry skills can undertake … … …” He bragged shamelessly, so fortunately did not say that he is the reincarnation of Master Lu Ban, the Miao people very much respect Lu Ban, rumor has it that the Cave Miao building method is taught by Lu Ban, if he blew too much, since it is to reveal the cracks, no one will believe.
That red girl was also once the moon door in the jiangyi selling art, soliciting business yelling Zankou skills, not inferior to the partridge whistle and Chen blind man, these three people take the voice of the situation have sung with a tacit understanding, and soon deceived the trust of the mountain people, there are heavy work on the first to find an excuse to push the turn of the day, and only be willing to do some of the hammering of the spare parts of the work, that the guide hole barbarians followed the front and back of the busy work, has been busy until noon, in a family to spread the home of the old man to eat. The old man’s home to eat, which is free to do their business.
North Walled City and Chen blind man previously went to the South Walled City customs are similar to each family under the footstools also have a “Xuan bird” totem, are black wood, look at the color of the years is very long ago, Chen blind man had not paid attention to this, because Xiangxi in ancient times by the influence of the Wu Chu culture, Xuan bird of ancient petroglyphs and ancient totems can be seen everywhere, although mysterious and odd, but not Nothing worth pursuing.
But the partridge whistle eye than Chen blind still poison, see things see people extremely accurate, put down the rice bowl, the old man gave a salute, please teach this Xuanbird pattern what is the name of the hall of fame, that the old man in the early years of the Golden House Thunder altar in the Taoist, and then to avoid the chaos before settling down here, has been no less than two decades, he listened to the partridge whistle asked, shook his head: “Xuanbird in fact is the phoenix ah, most of the people of this western Hunan mountains believe in Xuanbird, western Hunan has a border town called Phoenix, the mountain range is also shaped like a phoenix wings, western Hunan natives, think this thing can calm the house to protect the peace, such as this carved Xuanbird of the old wood, in our this is the most common thing, the native family have ancestors left behind, outside to this people, most of the people into the local customs.”
Partridge whistle and Chen blind man listened, secretly nodded in the heart, as expected, Xuanbird is derived from the Wu Chu culture, and then want to ask in the depths, but to probe what is not, had to continue to eat while continuing to measure the situation in this walled village, trying to find out if there can restrain poisonous things, this walled village in the Bottle Mountain is very close to the soil can not be harmed by the object, they must be hiding what the secrets of the restraint of poisonous things, but may also be “Daily use and do not know”, had to “put bright moves, support the ears”, their own in various places to look for traces of exploration.
At this time, suddenly heard a high-pitched rooster chirping, but it turned out to be the old man’s son, is from the chicken cage tackled a large rooster out, next to the blood bowl and wooden pier, a thick-backed kitchen knife on the ground, looks like it is ready to slaughter the rooster.
Just see that the big rooster color feathers high crown, although it was tackled, but still imposing imposing, the demeanor is even more proud and untamed, it is not angry from the prestige, a spirit through the feather crown, straight to the sky, and unusual chicken and poultry is very different, that the crown and big and red, chicken head a move, the bright red meat crown followed the chaotic tremor, it is like the top of a burning flame, the big cockerel whole body feathers are divided into colorful, cockroach citrons and claws sharp Sharp, in the midday sun, are flooded with golden light, body size than the ordinary rooster is twice as big.
Partridge whistle eye over the people, passed down several generations of the fundamental principles of moving mountains and split armor art, in the “birth grams system” four words, to pass the birth grams, need to be aware of the world’s treasures, he saw this colorful feathered cockerel, know that it is extraordinary, secretly praised a “really is a god is also”, a stone in the heart then fell to the ground. A stone in his heart then fell to the ground, I can not imagine “step through the iron shoes without looking for a place to get all the effort is not wasted”, just half a day to the Golden Wind Walled City, did not wait for a detailed study, it will be the first collision with the right, it seems to break the bottle mountain tomb in the poisonous mirage, it is the landing in this place.
At this time that the old man’s son, has carried the cock to the stake, picked up the kitchen knife copied in the hand, raised his arm to raise the knife, looked to be a knife swung down to chop off the chicken head, partridge whistle just look out of focus, see the momentum is not good, and hastily coughed, drank: “and stop!”
The old man and his son was about to slaughter chickens, but did not expect to be a young carpenter stopped, do not know what he wants, the old man annoyed at his nuisance, they blamed: “I kill chickens in their own homes, and the others have nothing to do with you, the ink master do not meddle.”
Partridge whistle smiled and said: “old abbot do not want to be offended, I just see this cock is very handsome, idle poultry which has it this extraordinary weather, I do not know the good reason why to kill? If you are willing to let go under the knife, I would like to make money to redeem it.”
Chen blind man also said, “Old Mr. Mo is not to kill the chicken to …… entertain me and so on? Do not have to do so, we do carpenter’s only on the first day, fifteen to be willing to meat, each three two, but also two fold eight buckle, this is the master set the rules, the past will have the ancient routine, dare not be contrary to, do not guard against under the knife to stay chicken ……”
The old man holds himself to be a gold house thunder altar door, although living in the mountains of the Miao village, but refused to take a walk in the mountains of the Za Lou ink master in the eyes: “You young students, must not understand these old times of the old rules, my home to kill the chicken is not to treat the guest, only because it absolutely can not be retained today, even if you would like to pay out thousands of gold to ransom, I will also let it chicken head to the ground. “
