Chapter 33 watching the dragon map (on)
We broke into the rat cave, raised the gas lamp a light, only to see in the surroundings of all the ancient bricks, bricks are large, like slate, overhead is also the ancient bricks collected into a curved roof, but these ancient bricks tunnel building is very simple, there are many because of the age of dilapidation and spoiling the sinkhole, coupled with the holes of the wild rats, as well as above the growth of the tree roots erosion, in front of the so the section of the tunnel is already full of holes, all wrong, panic and darkness, we In the panic and darkness, we couldn’t tell what the hell was going on.
Overhead deep into the top of the old tree roots and soil, there are countless worms and white eggs, visible just now the rats built rat mountain, it is to eat the eggs, centipedes, although fierce and vicious, but not good burrowing, large size can not drill into the rat holes, but at this time the group of rats gathered in the cave collapsed a big gap, so the size of centipedes have rushed to devour fleeing wild rats.
In order to avoid the raging centipede outside the hole, we had to retreat step by step to the depths of this mysterious tunnel, the most problematic is the old sheepskin bloated belly, lost his mind, fat man want to back can not carry him, only with the dingsi sweet inverted tugging his two arms, four backs and eights dragging him, and the only lighting supplies I have in my hands this dim old kerosene lamp, can not shine three or five steps away, one side groping to move forward, and one side also have to While groping my way forward, I had to use my feet to push away the wild rats gathered on the ground, and instead of escaping to the depths of the tunnel, it was more like “rubbing” inside.
Not a few steps, listen to the group of rats behind is another burst of chaos, I think there has been centipede drilled into the tunnel, I looked around, see in front of a few ancient bricks are crowded by the roots of the tree loosened, and then a little added a little force, the tunnel must be collapsed can not be, things can only be risky, if they are buried alive also admitted that, so quickly let the fat man and the ding sweet dragging the old sheepskin quickly forward, the faster the better, do not care about the movement of the back, and then put the “Kangxi Treasure”. Then the “Kangxi sword” into the sheath, with the handle of the knife aimed at the top of the head of the stone brick even pounded with prying.
Just pry down two stone bricks, the soil and gravel on it will have rolled down, I do not dare to stay, draw out, and fiercely heard “rumbling” sound, the tunnel roof followed spoiled down, the size of the wild mice below the smashed a lot of those centipedes temporarily is not to come through, I wiped the head of the beads of sweat, turn around to catch up with the fat man and other people who had already walked out of a certain distance. I wiped the beads of sweat from my head and turned around to catch up with Fatty and the others who had already walked some distance.
Fatty heard the movement behind, asked me whether the tunnel roof to stab spoiled, I said that this time the way back is broken, can only hope that the front of another exit. In the face of this situation, the three hearts are more or less panicked, this tunnel is dark and endless, do not know if there is another exit, although there are still many big-eyed thieves infested here, but big-eyed thieves can drill out of the holes, we can not drill out, if buried alive in this stinking muddy rat’s nest, this way to die is also too bad some.
My grandfather used to make a living as a geomancer, and he once knew some grave robbers, and I heard him say that grave robbers do the job of shuttling between the realms of yin and yang, and there is no one who can do this job with small guts, but they are also very afraid of things, and what they are most afraid of is to be buried alive in the ground, and that’s the most miserable way to die.
However, inverted bucket of people, there are good at the phase of the “touch gold school guards”, can look like a mountain shape, within the discernment of veins, whether on the ground or underground, can be judged to be the topography of the veins, in the eyes of the “touch gold school guards”, the universe has a great deal of cooperation, the mountains and rivers have a true nature, they will be Mountains and rivers as a living being, “the body of the mountain, stone for the bone, forest for clothing, grass for hair, water for the blood, clouds and smoke for the spirit, mist for the color”, as long as you can feel the pulse of the mountains and rivers and water flow of life, but also in the desperation of finding “the door to life”.
Of course at that time I did not understand these esoteric feng shui secret art, I only remember that my grandfather probably said this meaning, the heart can not help but envy the “gold inspector”, the world’s affairs of fortune and misfortune, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad luck, if it is the “gold inspector” here, they can distinguish between Can they tell where this dark underground tunnel leads to? I even felt that this tunnel made of ancient bricks was very much like the tomb passage in the tomb raiding story, and perhaps there would be a big coffin at the end.
I was thinking nonsense took over dingshi sweet, with the fat man lifted the old sheepskin, dingshi sweet back hunting cannon to raise the light to us, the three groped slowly forward, I inadvertently put the idea just now said to them, dingshi sweet strange: “we are a big string of times, also heard you tell the story of feng shui tomb raiding, is it that your ancestors are doing this business?”
Do not wait for me to answer, the fat man answered for me: “Old Hu his grandfather is a big landlord, was discovered by the revolutionary masses, has been criticized and stigmatized and stepped on the 10,000 feet, but also the old Hu deducted the top of the landlord class filial son of a good grandson of the hat, otherwise how he did not become a soldier, I’m just the opposite of the case with him, in fact, our ancestors are begging for food legs of the mud, so poor and honorable enough! It’s honorable to be so poor, isn’t it? But our old man is not accounted for the historical problems, seems to be more or less the current problem, and still do not understand whether it is the calendar against or now against, as a result, I was also deducted a hat, is the revisionism of the white special seedling, the same can not be enlisted in the army, you say that I have a red heart shining bright, is it not there for all to see? Who did I fucking invite?”
The fat man said a word to the pain of the crowd, the three are all gloomy, I think these bad things have fucking what to mention, say more than the heart of the difficult, have to hurry to turn the topic off, and then walked on the side of the fat man and ding si sweet said: “My grandfather did have a few acres of thin land, but it is not a big landowner, he is not a grave robber, only to know some of the masters of the inverted bucket, but also personally see He also saw a big dumpling with his own eyes.” I worry that they do not understand the lingo, but also explained that the bucket is grave robbing, dumplings is the corpse in the grave, listen to my grandfather said, usually say that the world of 360 lines, line out of the top, but in fact, can sing a self-contained system of the traditional Chinese industry, a total of seventy-two lines, each with their own heritage and ancestor, such as butchers, seamstresses, carpenters, grave robbers, ringing horses, etc., which the most bullish is what the industry! Do you know? There is a saying that says, “Of the 72 trades, grave robbing is the king.” Because the technology and knowledge needed for grave robbing, the courage, craftsmanship, and the reward and risk of grave robbing are completely incomparable to the rest of the seventy-two trades, not only that, the world also recognizes that “grave robbing and fighting, gold touching is the king.” Therefore, the “gold-touching lieutenant” is the real king of traditional Chinese occupations.
Fatty said: “Oh, you think we are walking into a tomb? In fact, I see nothing to be afraid of tomb raiding, the tomb is not the place where the dead are buried, those feudal emperors and generals and talented people, are not all down.”
