Chapter 77 – Shuo Ling Stealer

Fatty and I held the money in the hands are trembling, at that time on the money does not have too clear concept, only know that money is good, can buy sugar to buy cigarettes, but the money can not be too much, a lot of money will be greedy for enjoyment, the spirit of depravity, the idea of corruption, tie up the tie-up, easy to embark on the road of bourgeois liberalization, but at that time, we already have a kind of not obvious ideas in mind, in the future, we want to make more money, money is an abomination, but the money is useful. .

Finally have the money to buy a ticket, we with mixed feelings on the train to Beijing, all the way to Nanjing, this time the money has long been spent, the fat man and from his aunt’s house to give me a loan of twenty dollars, put me on the train, he agreed with me on the platform, next year when we go back to the Ganggang campsite directly meet, the next year in the mountains to more sets of foxes and yellow skins, and then go to the prairie to visit the DingShiShiTian , to discuss together about the great event of joining the world revolution.

The train has been slowly started, I explore from the window to shake hands with the fat man to say goodbye, I can not imagine that this goodbye is more than ten years, this ten years in the occurrence of many things, I went back to Fujian after the accidental enlistment in the army, the army needs iron discipline, can not be when the youth free and easy, coupled with the first few years and with the army in the Kunlun Mountains to carry out a secret mission, can not be and the outside world to communicate with each other.

When I transferred with the army defense Lanzhou military region, I know that Ding Si-Tian has long been gone, in the fat man and I left the prairie that winter, to the hundred-eyed cave as the center of the brutal “white plague”, freezing to death of many people and animals, Ding Si-Tian was also in the winter famine of the natural disaster was killed, and the body so far has not been found.

In the blink of an eye, the time has passed fifteen years, these tragic past events I and Fatty do not want to think back, and do not dare to think back, until we have to go to the United States before, pack up the items with the trip, casually turn over the old album, see this old photo, those old things that sink into the sealed, once wiped off the dust covered in the above, it still looks so real, so far, vividly, touching the present to recall the past, it is hard to avoid sighing and sighing, I look at it, I suddenly found the photo in the distant view of the scene of the photo, and then I saw the photo. Suddenly found that the photo in the distance there is a fuzzy back, look at the stooped figure, seems to be the old sheepskin, I do not know why, as soon as I saw him in the photo of the hazy figure, I immediately felt a burst of uneasiness, how never noticed this detail before.

Over the years, I have always been on the old sheepskin after the death of the strange things that happen to haunt me, and that was Ding Si sweet thrown in the grasslands of the bronze dragon talisman, these questions have always been entangled in the bottom of the heart, only to think of these things in the past, will feel a burst of heartache, coupled with these years of fatigue, it is very difficult to have the leisure to review the past, and today I see this old photo with the old sheepskin’s figure, I can not help but think of him to recount the past events, some of the details are very worthwhile. Past events, some of the details are very worthy of scrutiny.

The old sheepskin when he was young had done the bucket craftsmen, he followed a Chen surname thieves, and then the person went south to Yunnan to do a big deal, but unexpectedly encountered an accident in Yunnan, has been missing, this person will not be my acquaintance in Shaanxi Chen blind man? That went to Yunnan to steal the tomb of the fortune-telling Chen blind man? Now a careful consideration, many characteristics are consistent, but I know that Chen Blind man had followed the unloading of the ridge of people to go to Yunnan Bug Valley in search of the “Tomb of the King of Xian”, but he has never told me that he has done a thief, but think about it is also understandable, after all, Chen Blind man is bad a pair of strokes, this life is not to be able to do battle again, and he is now since fortune-telling fortune telling to cheat food and drink, it is natural to claim that he is Chen Tuanjun! Since he is now using fortune-telling and fortune-telling to cheat for food and drink, he naturally wants to claim that he is the reincarnation of Chen Tuan’s ancestor, and will admit that he has been a big leader of grave robbers before.

Thought of these I immediately closed the album, get up and go out, the old sheepskin in the “hundred eyes cave” to me mentioned that many of the old things, most of the difficult to check, but Chen blind man is from the old society over, he may know some of such as the yellow skin, ghost Yamen, bronze dragon talisman of the Palmistry, the most critical is to ask him, the old sheepskin death was struck by the fire of the thunder! The most critical thing is to ask him, the old sheepskin after death struck by lightning, or to solve the doubts that have plagued me for so many years.

As far as I know, Beijing’s Taoranting Park, is the daily activities of the blind man Chen place, but his whereabouts fluctuate, and recently did not dare to show up publicly in the park, Taoranting opposite the Beijing South Railway Station, he is often in the South Railway Station in a small hutong after a stall fortune-telling, I had no trouble to find him.

Just in time Chen blind man in a lesbian touch bone life, the woman thirty years old, fat white very rich, I do not know what difficulties encountered to find a high point to point out, the blind man first touch her face Hall bone phase in her forehead between the eyes and nose pinched a few hard, reciting the words under his breath: “phase human appearance has a lot of, why do not need to set the face of the rich and noble goze own immortal finger, touch the bone The goze has his own immortal’s finger, and he can feel the bones of the five mountains.”

The woman’s face was pinched by the skinny old man, and she was very annoyed: “Can’t you be gentle? This hand how with the iron pliers like.”

Blind man said: “This is the old man immortal finger, can be flesh through the bone, pinch to those mortals have not found half the pain, only the gods and goddesses stargazers down to earth only know the power of which, it seems that the lady must be a person of origin, I do not know what this fairy want to ask what is the matter? If we talk about heavenly secrets, ten dollars a question, no credit.”

That woman’s face fat ear big, since childhood will often be said to wear a three-quarter blessing, at this time to hear Chen blind man said she is a nun, is convinced that they are by no means an ordinary housewife, is indeed some of a history, can not help but Chen blind man greatly convinced that the old man’s eyes, although blind, but it is really something like God, then said the reason for the situation.

Although I was anxious to find Chen blind talk, but not good enough to disturb his business, had to wait by the side, listened to half a day, only to understand that the woman’s husband is a use of relationships to buy the approval of the businessman, there is a money tree at home, natural food and clothing, but her recent and her husband every time to do a strange dream, dreaming of a black dog gnawed her toes, often from the dream out of a cold sweat, both doing the same nightmares, not only Difficulty in sleeping and eating, physical and mental fatigue, and even worse is that in the dream was bitten by the black dog feet, gradually began to sores flow thick, festering and smelly, everywhere to seek medical advice are not better, heard people say that near the Tao Ranting goze eye God counting Chen Tuan Laozu, specially rushed to ask the old man to point out the way, one is to ask why this strange dream, the second is to ask the soles of the feet can be treated for sores and thickening.

Chen blind man and asked the woman’s husband’s body shape and physique, after listening to, look calm, seems to be a good idea, shaking his head to count: “As expected, the immortal aunt is the golden-winged carp reincarnation of the celestial pool in the Yao Tai, Zunfu skinny bones and short and thin, the original Jade Emperor’s canary in front of the driving force, are ranked in the Immortal Spiritual Officers, the two of you to the world of a husband and wife, was to be a destiny, and the two of them have been in the world of the world of the same, was to be a part of a relationship. Is to end a period of destiny, but you husband and wife but in a previous life offended Erlang Zhenjun’s howling heavenly dog, that evil dog refused to let go, only to dream of a black dog gnawing on the foot, God fortunately let the old man know, otherwise the big trouble is not far away.”

The fat woman heard herself and her husband, the past life is actually two animals? This can be too unpleasant to the ear, not only suspect that the blind man is not blindly made up nonsense.

Chen blind man hurriedly explained that the old man’s golden tongue, the Tao breaks the mystery of heaven, there is no reason to talk nonsense? Goze mind from the clear, see the world do not see the shape, the world is not clear way, what is the shape of what is the way? The Tao is invisible, giving birth to heaven and earth, the Tao is emotionless, running the sun and the moon, the Tao is nameless, nurturing everything, I don’t know its name, the strong name of the Tao, as the ancient saying goes, “The Tao is speechless and the Buddha is empty”, and the language in the world has not yet been able to accurately describe what the Tao is, in any case, everything in the world belongs to the Tao, no matter if it is a person or a bird, it is the shape of the Tao that is fixed, and there is no difference between high and low, noble and lowly. The difference between high and low, more can not be ugly discernment of noble and low, the common stream of ignorance only partial to the people as noble, in fact, the life of the beast-shaped bird phase, fish and birds of life, just like the dragon swim phoenix Xiang, really rich and noble life, if you ask how noble this life? Hey,……, you can’t tell ah.

This is called the birds and beasts are numbered, there are some people before life is a beast change, this point in the appearance can be brought out, this is the fate of the creation, their own blessings, and what is shameful? Bone touching skin view of the law has a secret, long and thin, but to take the bird, obese people beast view, like the body of the bird is not too small, like the beast to fat is the most important, the bird fat must not be able to fly, the beast if the thin Ruoxi An to eat? Blind man pulling all the talk, but also said the head is the way, the woman Kan to the convincing, to the end she even began to look like a beast of themselves and their husbands as pride.

But the blind man turned, and denied the woman of a lifetime of wealth, he said, the life of the boat also, the luck of the wind also, “fate” is actually two different things, although it is a life of wealth, but with half a lifetime of bad luck, just as although it is a huge boat ship, no wind to help, only to be stranded on the shoal, listen to its decay, your couple are free immortal life, but the debt is tied up, but the couple is not a good thing. How can you not be tied up by the debt, dreaming of black dogs gnawing feet, must be the main black star when the head, now we have to go back on the bad luck, it is really a good life of danger, light is the death of the family, heavy is trapped in the ghost palace, 10,000 robberies and never come back.

The fat woman was nearly blind Chen words scared half-body not marrow paralyzed on the spot, busy begging the old man to save his life, a roll of bills into the hands of blind Chen, blind man touched the money to give enough, which is not slow to help advise, be sure to move as soon as possible, the new house for a tablets, on the book, “Li Bing, county guards in the” six words, why? Li Bing is the king of Qin Zhaowang when the construction of the Dujiangyan Shu county guard, Shu irrigation mouth Erlang true gentleman for Li Bing’s second son, there is a Li Jun tablets, the sky dog dare not recidivism.

Blind man and pen in a broken paper wrote a prescription, Longhu Mountain pine bark a finger, coiled peach kernel three grains, the South Pearl North gallbladder each two, Momiji stone three taels, the Yellow River fish a tail, to Dongting Lake water fry, three bowls of water fried to do a bowl of water, a bowl of water, a bowl of water every day, even after serving three days, fixed when the heart is calm and peaceful, the soles of the feet of the thick sores since the healing.

The fat woman was dumbfounded when she heard, what is on this prescription? There are a few flavors of medicine have not even heard of, for fear that money can not be bought, could it be that all the heavenly elixir? How can this be financed?

Blind man said that this may not be, the old man this sale of medicinal herbs, and find the fat woman to ask for some money, find a broken bowl to ignite the prescription burned, the ashes fell into the bowl to the fat woman, instructed her to divide into three, with water to serve, remember, remember.

I was listening to the side of the darkly amused, finally and so blind Chen cheated enough money to send the woman away, they said to find a place to talk about something to ask, and then held his blind cane, he led to the Taoranting Pavilion Park in the pavilion, on the way to ask the blind man just now, he gave the fat woman to pinpoint the accuracy of not allowed?

The beginning of the time I thought Chen Blind man bluffing, but heard that he let the fat woman moved to hold the family, there is some truth in the “sixteen words of yin and yang feng shui secret art,” the “ghost” in the word volume, describing the dream of a black dog under the bed black cat gnawing feet, the house is evil, not suitable for living, if digging a few feet, you may be able to dig out a section of black carbon is the previous this house! After someone hanged in the house, the spirit of its death into the ground for the fury of the knot, or the home of the old graves underground ancient mound, the fat woman living in the house may be a set of murderous mansion, moved away from the home is a place of wrongdoing, when it is the best policy choice.

Chen blind feeling of complacency overflowing, laughed and said: “Her family underground what I do not know, but the fat woman family must be speculative things to do more than one, not less bribery bribery embezzlement shortfalls, selling the court’s approval of this is unavoidable, must have done a lot of heartbreaks are also very much, the proverbial top of the head sores, the soles of the feet flow of thick, that is bad to the home, this person is certainly unavoidable! Fearful, day and night, will be suspicious of dark ghosts, the most likely to be biased, the old man is not blind can also calculate this hexagrams, touch her bones will know is stingy unfilial beasts of the generation, her home is not benevolent and unjust wealth, take it no harm, think of the gathering of unloading the ridge when, if it is to bump into this kind of wealth for the unkindness of the cheap generation, the old man would have been a cut a cut a clean, sent her this pair of thieves men and women go to the hell of the use! ……”

I listened to Chen blind man talked about the year unloading Ling grave robbers gathered to take advantage of the matter, then took the opportunity to ask him whether he had done before the theft, can know the old sheepskin and sheep two eggs this two will sing the Qinqiang of Shaanxi people?

Blind man heard a stunned, unloading Ling Lux is the same with touch gold schoolmasters and moving mountain Taoist well-known grave robbers of the generation, the Han Dynasty Red Eyebrows army uprising was suppressed after the failure of the siege, a part of the remnants of the grass for the invaders, dispersed all over the world, and still do something to kill the officials rebel hooks, when the Red Eyebrows army to the Han Mausoleums turned over all over the remnants of its retained these traditions of getting rich and making money, but found the ancient tombs, the masses of people on the massive theft and excavation, in the Song Dynasty, before. Unloading bucket, also retained the act when the eyebrows on the smear cinnabar or pig’s blood method, after stealing the tomb and then wash off with medicinal water, this coloring red eyebrow to ward off evil habits, and later in order to act more covertly, and then gradually canceled.

The generation of the unloading of the ridge, there have been leaders as the leader of the thieves, “Kui” is the leader, there are a lot of people and things can not be a group of dragons without a leader, to share the spoils of the gathering of righteousness of all the hooks by the thieves of the leader of the decision to steal, the thieves of the leader of the prestige is very high, have the right to kill and take away the power of not only to “circle the hole of the art” inverted bucket excavation, but also the greenwood road on the mound. Mound, is the grass-roots road on the sky, is considered to be a figure calling the wind and rain, Chen blind in the Republic of China years did do a theft leader, but those old things if you do not mention really forget.
