Chapter 25: Bashan Apes and Laughing Babies (Next)

Hidden in the depths of the tomb to spy on us the Bashan apes, seems to have recognized Master Sun Jiuji, but began in the air raid shelter by the fat man with offspring arrows almost shot, and by the “wolf eye flashlight” I shook his eyes, a succession of frightened, and do not dare to approach easily, this time to see Master Sun Jiuji greeted it, and then carefully poked out half of the body, and out of the ape arm to seize the mountaineering helmet worn by Professor Sun on top of his head. The first time I saw him, I saw him in the morning, and then I saw him in the morning, and then I saw him in the morning, and then I saw him in the morning.

Maybe Professor Sun previously in the labor farm, often by it to take away the hat glasses and other things, this is accustomed to, not for disobedience, and from the hands of the Bashan apoplexy mountaineering helmet back to the ape, the ape from the head to see the foot, as if encountered many years of old friends like, and constantly chanting to it: “old buddy ah, you still remember me ah? I haven’t seen you for so many years, I’ve gotten old, and so have you, how’s it going? I’ve never seen you before, I’m old, and so are you. It seems to be thinner than before ah ……”

I saw Prof. Sun talking to the monkey, either he has supernormal capabilities or he is mentally abnormal, can the old monkey understand human language? Just now in front of the scare table, it is this guy almost put us to death, do you know what it is in its heart of the ghost idea?

Fatty also said: “Yes, one day to indulge the enemy, the world of trouble, we treat the enemy, we can not be soft, who do not stop me ah I tell you, see how the fat master stripped the ape skin!” I’ll tell you what, let’s see how the fat master can skin it!” He said, rolling up his arms and sleeves, and drew his sword.

The Bashan ape lizard also bared his teeth to the fat man did not show weakness, Professor Sun hurried to persuade: “Fatty Wang if you do not indiscriminately shoot it with offspring arrows, it will not be pushed from the back of you off the cliff, the ape lizard know everything, do not take it as an animal to see, back in the Orchard Gully Quarry, I and Feng head of the rotten beetroot soup are almost unable to drink, thanks to the guy from the county from time to time to steal back canned goods, cigarettes, cigarettes and other goods from the city of the county. Stealing back canned goods, cigarettes, brown sugar, all the way to avoid the guards to send us, I see it better than people, these days a lot of people are ungrateful over the bridge, not as good as the animals.”

It was only after Mr. Sun mentioned it that I remembered that the Bashan apes were tamed by Mr. Feng for many years, so the fire in my heart went out, and I advised the fat man to let it go, but what kind of mind are we? We shouldn’t be so mean to this ape.” Fatty said hatefully, “I don’t want to be so mean to this ape.

Fatty hated to say: “If it is not for the sake of its master is also a soldier’s sake, I certainly can not forgive this guy, but still can not be cheap it, those of us who are the most fucking unpalatable American macaroni are given to it to eat, so that it is a chronic suicide.”

At this time Shirley Yang and the youngest sister to see that the Bashan ape reed very humane, all feel interesting, took out the candy to feed it, the Bashan ape reed ate a few pieces of sugar, probably it also know that Sun Jiuji masters are acquaintances, there is no danger, and gradually calm down a lot, and then learn to ask for cigarettes like a human being.

I touched out cigarettes to light up and handed it one, looking at the monkey watching the odd appearance of the clouds spitting smoke to the crowd, said: “Although the thief monkey through the spirit, but did not learn anything good, in addition to sneak theft, but also will smoke, in addition, have you ever wondered how it appeared in the rock crevices of the hanging coffins of the catacombs? From the tunnel entrance opposite the Dragon Gate should not be able to get down, could it be that there is a secret passage near the hanging coffins? If there really is a secret passage connected in the mountain, where did it learn about it?”

Shirley Yang shone her flashlight deeper into the rock gap, “There is indeed a narrow secret passage inside, I don’t know where it leads to, maybe it is the owner of the Ape protests, who led him here, if the Guan Shan Zhi Mou Fu engraved on the tombstone is fake, then the correct route to the entrance of the tomb is only known to the head of the Feng Group, after so many years, is he still alive? ”

I heard Shirley Yang said, thought most likely exactly, so took a whole pack of cigarettes, in front of the Bashan apes waved a few shakes: “Your conscience, greatly good, quickly, to the Taijun lead the way to work …….”

Seeing this, Prof. Sun said to me, “Don’t speak foreign language to it, how can it understand? Duck and dodge, I’ll say it.” With these words, he pushed me aside and made a gesture of wearing a military cap with his hand on top of his head, and even asked the Bashan apes to tell me, “Where is the old Feng? Do you know where the Feng leader is? Take us to find him …… We are all trusted friends.”

Bashan ape reed a good time scratching his ears, seems to think for half a day before making up his mind, and then it turned his head and drilled into the dark tunnel, I was very happy, and immediately told the crowd to follow closely, as long as we find the Feng leader, that “the ancient tomb of the Immortal Village” even if we have to find the result, I really do not know when to find the result.

I also secretly hope that the Feng leader is still alive, in the deep mountains and old forests for more than ten years of isolated life, now also should go back, although he is the descendant of the “Great Ming Guanshan Taibao”, “the ancient tomb of the village of the Earth Immortal” is equivalent to his family’s ancestral tomb, but if I talk to him through the tolerance, through the tolerance, most likely also be able to ask him about the “ancient tomb of the village of the Earth Immortal”. Tong Rong, most likely can also ask him to come to the tomb hidden Dan Ding, after all, is in the army fought in the war, will never see death, and are peers, may also wholesale some bright weapons to us.

I thought in my head, with the Bashan apes waiting to drill deeper and deeper in the culvert, found that this “culvert”, in fact, is man-made deep cracks in the mountain through each other, do not know the inside story, in the rock gap hanging coffins can not be seen at all, this side of the cliffs, it is the side of the tunnel with the tombstones, may be in the ancient tunnels there is a very hidden secret passage! that connects to the cliff where the group of hanging coffins is located.

We followed the Bashan apes, along the deep cliffs embedded in the twists and turns of the dark road ahead, one after another through a few dispositions of hanging coffins of the tombs, came to a half exposed in the cliffs outside the cavern, which is as big as a bucket room, the outside is still that deep stream, the ground fell across a coffin of ancient pine bark, the ground in the scattered floating soil, revealed a great stone coffin, look at the lid of the coffin above the seemingly fine carving of the mountains and rivers, and there are nine bronze chi dragons and chi dragons, and a large stone coffin. And there are nine bronze chi dragons tight Zuo buckle, Bashan apes jumped to the stone coffin, squatting stared at us, eyes flashing, said nothing refused to go forward, with a paw pointing to the coffin painted on the cover of a mountain squeak strange screams.

I used the “wolf eye” in the stone coffin surface of the mountains and rivers, pine and cypress relief look, under the clouds and smoke under the mountains and rivers majestic and magnificent, quite a mountainous meaning, all over the sun, moon and stars and the four sides of the beasts, write the color is very strong, but not like a map of a certain place somewhere.

I looked up to the Bashan Ape Outcasts, inexplicably asked: “What is this? Didn’t I ask you to lead us to someone? Where is Chief Feng?”

The Bashan ape bared its teeth to me and squeezed its eyebrows, and I really couldn’t guess what it meant. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind me, and Master Sun Jiu and Fatty and the others drilled out of the dark tunnel one after another.

The 26th chapter of the message written on the cigarette box paper

Just heard Sun Jiuzi suddenly “ah” exclaimed, I looked back, the eyes of the crowd fell on the back side of the cavern, under a piece of black bitter vines, there is a stout male corpse sitting against the wall.

The body of that male child hung his head low, and could not see his face and features, but Professor Sun obviously recognized him from his clothes, and lost his voice and shouted, “Old Feng …… is really you? How did you …… you die here?”

Professor Sun look excited, trembling will move three steps into a step to walk, rushed to the front of the withered vines, lying on the ground to see the face of the male corpse, and then hammered on the ground with a fist: “Old Feng ah …… old buddy you really will hide quiet, even . … even quietly died in this uninhabited place, do you know how I came over these years? Your former comrades all suspect that I killed you. Do you think I’m that capable? When I received a pickaxe handle from you not to mention, but also for you to take the black pot for ten years ……”

Professor Sun said here, the tears in his eyes have long been out of their sockets, his temper and stubborn and strange, a lifetime did not make any friends, in addition to Professor Chen Jiuren, only this with not long Feng leader, is his friend in distress, before also saved a hope, thought Feng leader from the farm absconded from the tomb, hiding near the “ground fairy village tomb”, but I know after years of no news. Although I know that after many years of no news, this person must be dead, but suddenly in the hanging coffins in the tomb to see the remains of the deceased, really touched the heart, snot and tears flowed, in an instant is sobbing uncontrollably.

I thought that the head of the seal is a rather legendary hero, may still be living in the “Tomb of the Earth Immortals”, but with my own eyes, I realized that the world is as cold as ice, although I have never known this person, but it may be that “things hurt like that”, I saw the soldiers. People died, the heart will feel particularly sad, the rest of the few people are also mostly gloomy, even the fat man is a good half a day no sound, the cavern only heard Sun Jiuji a nagging sobbing more than.

I advised Prof. Sun said, “The deceased has gone, it is difficult to come back to life, the immediate priority, or first look at how he died, whether there are some last words and relics left behind?”

Professor Sun tears, it seems that all these years deep in the heart, all kinds of repression and injustice, also with the tears gushed out, a long time, before stopping the sadness, a few of us to help, will be sealed the head of the body on the ground, only to see the dead body did not rot, full of beard is still vaguely visible, the dying look seems to be peaceful and calm.

The people discussed whether the body will be incinerated and brought back for burial, or buried on the spot, Professor Sun under the agitation of the soul, has been unable to do the Lord, I told the group: “Feng leader is on the register of missing persons, in these years there are a lot of people are looking for him, about the cause of his death,…… also have to account for the relevant departments, the best way is to keep the original costume, and so on back to make the situation clear, and then let the relevant people to properly converge is.”

Professor Sun and others immediately agreed, ready to first find a few relics on the body to bring back to do a proof, and finally really is in the seal head of the soil yellow tattered uniforms of the upper pocket, to find out a few pieces of cigarette box paper to, the paper has become yellow and fragile, the top of the densely written in many handwriting, the word is probably written with a pencil, some fuzzy, but fortunately, can still be recognized.

I thought that the head of the Feng did not go into the “immortal village tomb”, but hid in the hanging coffins in the grave, that carved with the geography of the mountains and rivers of the stone coffin, it seems to be that he plowed out, but how could he have died for no apparent reason? These several crumpled cigarette box paper, most likely is his dying left his last words, immediately wanted to read carefully, but on second thought, and feel that should be read by the head of the Feng life of the difficult Sun Jiu master, so the cigarette box paper passed in his hand: “You see the head of the Feng left what words did not.”

The people immediately gathered in the cavern stone coffin, Professor Sun borrowed the “wolf-eye flashlight” light, trembling the content of the cigarette box paper read out word by word, even the Bashan apes told me to crouch in the coffin lid, motionless and quietly listening to.

The words written on the cigarette case by the head of the Feng Group with the tip of a pencil are quite a lot, but the language is relatively concise, and occasionally there are unclear expressions or blurred words, from which we can only understand a general situation.

Feng slightly mentioned some of his life in the suicide note, this “Coffin Gorge” is a tomb area for the King of Wuling buried in the mountains, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, Feng’s ancestors did grave robbing, in the “Coffin Gorge” Swallow Grotto under the hanging coffins, stolen and sent many bamboo slips Tortoise shell ancient books, because the hanging coffins of the people buried here, were all the flood management of the year, astrology and yin and yang, more specialized in the changes of the strange door, most of the ancient books buried with the records of the mysterious and bizarre ancient formula, Feng’s fortune in this way.

Because there is a coffin mountain hidden in the Coffin Gorge, that mountain is the tomb of the king of Wuling, Feng family made a fortune by stealing the tomb of the Feng Shui secret, they called themselves “Coffin Mountain Taibao”, in the Hongwu years, his descendants once for the royal family, renamed “Guanshan Taibao”, the imperial gift of an eighteen-faced Guanshan Taibao, and the royal gift of a eighteen-faced Guanshan Taibao, the imperial gift of a eighteen-faced Guanshan Taibao. There were eighteen Guanshan Waist Plaques given by the Emperor, and there were famous deeds such as “Guanshan Stealing Bones, Taibao Xiangzhao” and so on.

Straight to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Feng’s Guanshan Taibao leader seems to realize that the world is about to change, so the family retired to their hometowns, digging witch salt veins for a living, due to the family’s wealth, became a local powerful family.

Guanshan Taibao at the time the leader of the Fengshigu, full of addiction to tomb raiding, but also obsessed with the immortality of Dandao, against the ancient teachings left by the ancestors, led the people dug open the “Coffin Mountain”, from the tomb out of the Dragon Bone Trigrams of the week, claiming to have realized the mystery of which, throwing away the family name, and said that he himself is about to be refining into the immortality of the immortal immortal, the poor! A world of effort, made a village of the Earth Immortal, specializing in this world of mortals, a time from the cloud, many believe in the immortal said, with him into the tomb to avoid the world and live, since then disappeared, and then no one has seen the “Earth Immortal Village Tomb” in the living people out.

Back then, part of the Feng family also think Feng Shigu crazy, ancestors left instructions, move the mountain Wuling King’s tomb can not be dug open, because that tomb buried a monster, Feng Shigu but do not abide by this taboo, after stealing this tomb after the whole person has changed, most likely in the tomb was Wuling King of the ghost of the haunted, he has decades of theft and excavation of Ming ware from all over the world, coffins, pots and pots of gold and jade, a head of the ancient tombs loaded, but also Demonizing the public, trying to pull many living people in to be martyred.

But these people against Feng Shigu, in the Feng family house are not much status, Feng Shigu to them also do not force, only said that the outside world will turn into a river of blood in a flash, hiding into the “ground immortal village tomb”, first death and then become an immortal, and get the road to longevity, “with the sun and the moon and heaven and earth coexist”, this is the next generation of the immortal, and the next generation of the immortal. “, this is the next fairy after death to cross the body of the law, those of you who refuse to go, more than obsessed, lost, but your children and grandchildren, if there is a robbery and difficulties, according to the “Guanshan pointed to the assignment of the fans” into the tomb to find the ground fairy, in the same clan, I am willing to ferry them.

Later, the bandits into Sichuan, really is killing countless, but the army did not hit the east of Sichuan, just the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasty bandits and soldiers, inevitably affected the Qingxi area, also had into the mountains to steal hair of the village of the village of ancient tombs in the treasures, but did not succeed. In the war, Feng family people did not die out, the background of the countryside fled to Hubei, with the change of dynasty to live in hiding, and occasionally in distress, they will rob tombs to make a living, “Guanshan finger fan fugue” and the craft of pouring buckets is still not lost, but passed on to the head of the Feng this generation, the population is not thriving, the old Feng family on his descendants of a descendant, and even the ancestor’s skills have not been learned, there is nothing to do. There is nothing to do, had to mix in the forest all year round, but also free and easy, just in time for the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the national tragedy that is, he took a few brothers as a soldier.

His half-life, experienced the size of hundreds of battles, from before the liberation of the regimental commander, the end of the war against the United States and North Korea is still a regiment, to say that this half-life of the war is not small, but also won a lot of honors, alone he led the regiment, is the column in the ace of the regiment, and its honorary title, in the Liao-Shen campaign period, there are “a thousand guns and thousands of cannons to fight the immovable guard such as the Taishan heroes regiment! “, there are anti-USA period of “deep behind the enemy out of the strange soldiers Changshan Zhao Zilong regiment” and so on.

Although Feng Feng war not life, and repeatedly built miraculous achievements, but he is a person, too many problems, drinking and sleeping with women is a common meal, he himself is also fun, hunting, horseback riding, dancing, ticket theater, dogfighting, raising monkeys, no he does not like, and no matter what to play are experts, coupled with this person in the green forest banditry is very heavy, and with anyone who is righteousness, was a lot of times a major fault of the punishment, and even a few times almost be Military justice, but in the war years, as long as the war can fight style, anything else is good, but in peacetime, the troops can not recruit him, had to be mobilized to the local work.

Feng head left the army to the local, the body of the problem is more obvious, his biggest shortcoming is more superstitious, in the rain of bullets in the birth and death has never been ambiguous, beheading only as the wind blowing hat, can mention cremation on the whole body shivering with fear, and to their ancestors passed down the “Guanshan pointed to the fan fugue” convinced, so the subsequent A series of campaigns, he became a target, but also thanks to the old head of the force before the bail him out, to far down to the farm labor, although a little bitter and tired, but the Emperor is far away, what movement can not reach the deep mountains in the orchard ditch.

But the head of the Feng loose through, only accustomed to dictate to others, the eyes do not rub half a bit of sand, feel that they really can not do the hard work of quarrying, began to think of suicide, but feel so dead a bit of a wimp, made up his mind to run – run back to his hometown to go to the old cemetery to look for the earth fairy.

Feng Feng mentioned in his suicide note, he has lived a life without a guilty conscience, the only person he felt sorry for, is a piece of work in the farm at that time Sun Yaozu – old Sun.
