Chapter 53 Naming the names

Chen blind man thought of here, asked partridge whistle, since the desert is no trace to find, why still go to find the Western Xia Blackwater City? As early as a few hundred years ago, a quicksand swept overwhelmingly, early to the generation of Western Xia’s city completely buried, as with the Jingjie Ancient City, now more than likely can not be found, might as well go to Yunnan according to the map of grave robbers, more or less some clues can be found, you and my brother’s ability to join together in one place, under the sky there is what great things are not done?

Partridge Whistle shook his head and said: “Western Xia Blackwater City was buried by quicksand, the art of moving mountains and reclaiming the sea is indeed unable to do this, but since ancient times, there is a way to touch the gold lieutenant in the world, specializing in searching for dragons in the mountains, the gold set points, he that the secret of finding dragons in the Star Feng Shui secret art, you can look up to the stars, down to the ground veins, if we learn this art, or to ask for the gold lieutenant’s help, I want to look for that Blackwater City, Tongtian Big Buddha Temple Ancient monuments, as if it were a bag of tricks.”

Chen blind man said: “Touch of gold lieutenant? It is said that passed to the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang’s generation, there are only three left under the sky to touch the gold talisman, after the Republic of China, and then have not heard of the world has been touching the gold of the deeds of the world even if there are still three or two know how to divide the gold to determine the point of the good hand, so the world outside of the high and where to go to look for it?”

It is said that the abbot of the Bitter Endless Temple before he left home was a “gold feeling lieutenant”, but nowadays the world “catching the wind and catching the shadows, tricking and deceiving” thing is very much, Chen Blind Man and Partridge Whistle did not play with that elder, I do not know his true or false origins, and that the old monk, although Zen superb! But after all, old age, God knows whether it is still alive in the world? And touch the gold school captain of the Tianxing Fengshui secret art in the desert can be performed, it is difficult to say.

Partridge whistle and Chen blind man each had to do a big thing, and both believe that “the other side envisioned the thing indistinct without evidence, difficult to succeed”, the two are determined, then eight horses and nine oxen can not drag back, said in the end, also said only “people have their own aspirations, can not be forced! In the end, they only said “people have their own will, can not be forced”, just in Xiangyin ready to split up to look for “King Xian’s Tomb” and “Blackwater City”.

In a few days and came the news, the old bear ridge near the mountain thieves and grasshoppers mobilized, to the bottle mountain Dan Gong tomb “filter pit”, all parties had a fierce armed conflict, the deaths and injuries of many people, not only the Dan Gong ancestral cave are destroyed, and also tasted the sweetness of grave robbers can make a big fortune, gathered a team of breaking the local county, with explosives blew open the Nu! The “Fengming Ancient Pagoda” in Nuqing County.

This ancient tower is extremely spiritual, history has been covered over and over again eight times, each time not ten years, the inevitable collapse, not jerry-built or man-made destruction, the reasons for the collapse of the tower can not be explained, until the last repair in the Yuan Dynasty, only to be preserved until today, is a famous local monuments.

Bandits and local warlords took advantage of the momentum of the Bottle Mountain grave robbers, tortured the old monks guarding the tower and learned that there was a mausoleum buried underneath the Fenming Pagoda, which may have been the death of a monk who died with the Yuan Dynasty generals in Bottle Mountain.

Groups of thieves got the message, immediately blew up the tower, under the tower foundation really found several kilograms of stone door, but in addition to the monk’s golden body, there is not too much treasure, but also made a Chaji corpse spit Dan’s incident, the chaos in the explosion, the dead countless, the people are said to be the destruction of the tower, can not be suppressed in the mountains of the King of the corpses, the family post Cinnabar state talisman, the whole old Bear Ridge chaos as a mess, alarmed by the four sides of the uneasy.

Chen blind man heard the news angry, unloading the ridge group of pirates missed the opportunity, but into the full of those who do not enter the mainstream thieves, can not help but be annoyed, thinking about doing some big moves out, revitalize the prestige.

Appropriately, on the 15th of March in the lunar calendar, it is just the day of Master Guan grinding the sword, to have the annual reward and punishment ceremony, Changsheng Mountain, each unit of the various ways of inserting the incense of the ringing horse son, are to be in the day from all over to gather, and then in Xiangyin Temple of the Sage of Wushu opened the Hall of Fragrance, for the God’s holy statue, to the head of the various robbers called together, seven to eight hundred all gathered in front of the Hall.

March 15 every year without rain, repeated should not be bad, this day is also so, only to see the sky, “cloudy, drizzle like sorrow”, deep clouds, hidden thunder rolling, although the hall is wide, can only accommodate more than a hundred people, the rest of the hundreds of people have to stand in the rain, the new defeat is not the same as in previous years, the atmosphere is particularly grave, nearly a thousand people are silent. Nearly a thousand people are silent.

First by the thief Chen blind out, led by the crowd knocked over the Guan Gong knife, and then in front of the god burns incense and prayers, Greenwood Road and ordinary burning incense is different, thieves burning incense, according to the ancient rules are to burn three and a half, which more than “Chong Thief Shangyi,” the allusion to the rules within the implied three and a half of the righteousness.

The first is burned to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period of the decline of the sheep horn and the left Bo peach, when these two people to go with the defection of the State of Chu, halfway to the lack of food and clothing, only enough to maintain a person, the left Bo peach in order to make the sheep horns of grief to arrive in the State of Chu successfully, killed himself and died, the clothes and food are left to their friends, sacrificing their lives to help sheep horns of the decline of the achievement of success, the wind of the ancients, and so far, it is touching.

The remaining two joss sticks are burnt to Liu, Guan and Zhang, who are brothers in the Peach Garden, as well as to the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, who are both brothers in the sense of “righteousness”, and also have the sense of “loyalty” of the ruler and ministers, together with Yang and Zuo, who refused to betray each other to the end of their lives, which has been rumored to be a beautiful story, and will make future generations pay homage and worship to them. This is a beautiful story that will make future generations worship and enjoy the whole incense.

And the last “half incense” is burned to the Wagang fortress of a group of heroes, why the heroes of the Wagang can not receive the full incense? It turns out that during the Sui and Tang dynasties, Emperor Yang’s lawlessness, the world is in chaos, Jiajialou thirty-six friends rebel, gathered in the Wagang fortress, picked the banner, to act on behalf of God, to crusade against injustice, once famous all over the world, but later this group of people to comply with the will of the gods to return to the Li Tang, but only a single single pass single Xiongxin would rather die than surrender to the Tang, lost his life, in the was escorted to the court of execution time, his brotherhood of these brothers, only Qin Qiong Qin Shubao a person to send to the court of law, so the end of the Wagang righteousness not all the incense? So the righteousness of the Wagang ending is incomplete, can only offer them half of the incense, in order to warn the future generations.

Burning incense to the Holy Spirit of God, is to unload the ridge group of pirates once a year on the merits of the reward, which have done treacherous offenses, but also to be punished, the so-called “theft is also the way”, ringing horse thieves is Liangshan color, the government forced the people to rebel, fall into the grass as a bandit, or is not talented, borrow this green forest in the temporary shelter, and not enough to be ashamed of, but also ringing horse ringing horse rules, who violated the taboo, and who is the only one who is not allowed to do so, but the only one who is not allowed to do it. Rules of the road, who violated the taboo who is seeking death, Changsheng mountain punishment is extremely harsh.

Chen blind man ordered the deacon in charge of punishment to come forward, reiterated once again Changsheng Mountain precepts, that the deacon first in front of the hall on the incense case to open all kinds of torture, and then read out in public: “Pick the ashes and pour stove forget loyalty and righteousness, folded feet and broken hands dug a pit to be buried; the following offenses do not serve the order, eighty red stick flesh and bones scorched; greed water and ventilation have care, three knives and six holes can not be forgiven; words are not prudent to bad name of the mountain, their own tongues own chewing! ……”

Such as the deacon read just one by one, Chen blind a beckoning hand, there will be seven or eight thieves of the crowd tied up and escorted to the front of the hall, these people are before the Bottle Mountain avalanche, with those who deserted the warlord forces, rolled up with the treasure fleeing the cowardly generation, and later were captured back, they see the thief leader face sullen, the temple up and down the killing atmosphere, since this time will die, each individual body like sieve chaff.

Only to hear Chen blind man asked the deacon: “According to my Changsheng Mountain rules, the water swallowed, go back to escape the disciples, how should be sent down?”

The deacon replied: “This is a great fault, not pardon, according to the rules should be in the white blade under the body head, after death can not be buried with the whole body.” The seven or eight were bound by the theft of the crowd listened to a clear word for word, but also face like ashes, things came to a head, can not blame others, can only be self-inflicted closed eyes and wait for death, the rest of the group of thieves are also in front of the hall to see the trembling from the danger.

But Chen blind man said: “bottle mountain tomb empty folded many of our brothers, this is my chance not decided, and failed to plan beforehand the fault, if according to the rules should be white blade over the neck of the body and head, should be first cut off my head, although these brothers have had, but the crime is not to death, extinguish the lamp can be punished.”

Groups of thieves sigh of admiration of the thief leader frankly say their own chest, hasten to discourage, said the bottle mountain is the will of God, should also be when I Changsheng mountain has this setback, not manpower can be reversed, the fault is not in one person, Changsheng mountain must not be a group of dragons without a head, and in the future also count on helmsman to take the group to rise again.

Chen blind would not have been able to give up their own more than a hundred pounds, pretending to seek death for a living, was persuaded by the crowd, they hurriedly on the slope of the donkey, but also took the opportunity to spare the few thieves, and ordered them to follow their own and the crime, several thieves of the crowd to pick up the life back, under the tears, the death of the order to worship.

Chen blind man walked to the front of the hall, in front of the face of the group of thieves said loudly: Nowadays the world is declining, is the heroes and heroes build a career in the autumn, our generation of unloading Ling ringing horse 100,000 people, since the Han Dynasty after the defeat of the Red Eyebrows, scattered in all directions, gathered in the mountains, so that the “hidden mountains, send traces of the rivers and lakes,” has been a long time, although they only do some “bucket Taking advantage of, divided into dirty gather righteousness” hook, but also often have a big plan within the world situation, has been the four seas turmoil, mind change, our generation can not move a thought? “Knowledge of the times can be called handsome, know the way of the world when the hero”, at this opportune moment, we heroes together, heroes together, will be able to figure out a waist of gold and purple clothes, the history of the Qing Dynasty, it is not in vain life, the grass and trees in the autumn.

Groups of thieves are reckless generation, listening to Chen blind this very inciting colorful words, suddenly said yes, but now the northern warlords powerful, are foreign guns, extremely sharp, Changsheng Mountain, although there are a few warlords, but it is difficult to fight against, without a large number of advanced arms, certainly can not be a thing.

Chen blind man said unloading Ling group of thieves are used to take advantage of the main tomb theft, ancient casually an emperor’s mausoleum, will be all the wealth of the world at the time of the majority of the world, as long as he stole an intact emperor’s mausoleum, or the tomb of a large vassal king, the gold and jade, and even ancient treasures, even if the tens of thousands of people months are inexhaustible, a few days ago happened to be informed that, appendicitis Cangjiang Chalongshan, there is a “dedication to the King of the Tomb! “, the tomb in the poor luxury solemn, more than not the things of the world, if you can steal the hair of this tomb, great things will be accomplished, the tomb of the treasures, ten generations also spend endless.

But that Yunnan, after all, high mountains and far away, this go trekking, not overnight work, and is far from the Changsheng Mountain sphere of influence of the barbaric land, all kinds of abnormal and dangerous place since it is not to say more, but it is also a name and fame, the opportunity to make a fortune, the group of thieves have great ambitions want to follow the front to go, the old into the heavy-handed, they do not advocate to go, and there are many hesitant, a moment of discussion.

Chen blind man since the frustration in the bottle mountain, think more people but not easy to do things, this time as long as to bring dozens of people south to Yunnan, in case the theft of the ancient tomb of the King of Xian, but also not to lose too many people, or then die a thousand, even if the other side does not say anything, they have no face to do helm handle, he turned in his head, there has been the idea, such as the hall before the sound of the people a little calmer, which is to say that to set up the yellow paper, please come out of the ancient handed down the “Over the red rooster” curse, thus deciding who to go and who not to go.

Groups of thieves immediately agreed, this is the initiative of heavenly destiny, do not let you hesitate to wander, the natural to go, the rest of the red rooster point in the red rooster and then no second words can be said.

The so-called Greenwood, is the mob, open incense will be inseparable from the “beheading chicken, burn yellow paper, betting curse oath” move, “over the red chicken” is also “cut chicken order” in a kind of, but not righteousness! Instead of swearing, the so-called “Tomb Raider Death Squad” was selected.

How do you name the “Red Rooster”? Just see in that hazy rain and fog, Guan Di Temple lights and candles burning high, first invited out the “pen”, to unload the Ling group of robbers of the name, all written on a very large yellow paper above, because there are too many people, write a look, the paper is densely packed with a few gaps, followed by robbers to go to the Yunnan Chalong Mountain tomb robbers, will be selected from this list! How many people will go and who will go? How many people will go and who will go are all up to God’s will.

The deacon who cut the chicken chose a big rooster, and sang some “Chicken Praise” in front of all the people, which was nothing but those words “This chicken is originally from the sky, why did it come down to the world? Mortals want it nowhere, disciples to cut red chicken …… “, praise sung, the deacon dragged out the shiny knife, Chen blind man kneeling on the ground: “Dare to ask the helmsman, today cut this Phoenix chicken, is it cut with the text or with the military cut? ”

Chen blind man originally sat in the hall, this time rose to the phoenix chicken salute, said to the deacon: “According to the Red Eyebrows of the old rules, this is the red chicken named, neither the use of literary talent, but also do not have to use martial arts talent, to look at the brother’s eloquence.”

The deacon led the “eloquence” order, the frost blade in the mouth, lifted the rooster carry in front of the eyes, will be the head thrown, the mouth bite of the sharp blade will cut the chicken neck, then the deacon opened his mouth to let go of the knife, shouted “over red!” Two hands to capture was cut open the windpipe of the golden chicken, from laying in the incense on the yellow paper written full of names on the top of the head, from west to east of the horizontal swept through, chicken blood just gushed out, hot blood dripping on top of the yellow paper.

List of names on the paper where the chicken blood points in the names of people, even if it is “guilty of red”, these people have to go to Yunnan with Chen blind hooks, counted more than thirty people, immediately announced the reading of the name and surname.

Not into the red name of the thieves, are clasping fists to commit red people congratulations, have toasted to the wine, point in the name must even drink three bowls of blood wine pressure, wine to the cup dry, blood is the blood of the golden chicken, wine is Dukang wine, drink blood wine is to eliminate the “point of the name of the certificate” on the big red fury, the thieves and the leader of the scene to each person a sum of money to settle down at home, known as the old man, called “pressure life money”.

(Note: the ash inverted stove – eating outside, treachery; greedy water ventilation – water is the money, wind means confidential information, leak secrets, swallow dirty things; extinguish the lamp of punishment – gouging (eyeballs; literary cuts – cutting the neck of a chicken; martial arts cuts – chopping the head of a chicken)
