Chapter 30: Painting the Door

I was alone on the mountain rock, my mind just pondered over the meaning of “mountain in the earth”, and felt that this sign belonged to the “modesty” hexagram, which should also have the meaning of “to be quiet and to be open-minded”, it seems that we have to hide for the time being and wait for the time to come. It seems to be a temporary lurking and hiding, waiting for the right time to appear.

Later, do not feel sleepy, these years I sleep with one eye open, but I do not know what is wrong today, upper and lower eyelids fight, a little closed eyes can no longer be opened, sleep suddenly flashed a vague idea – in the “Coffin Gorge” this In the “Coffin Gorge” this gloomy mausoleum area how to sleep with the whole group?

Immediately woke up, mountain day and night temperature difference is very big, only feel the night is as cool as water, deep in the bottom of this canyon, also do not see the moonlight, all around are black, it has been sleeping for a long time, I shook my head vigorously, so that I wake up some, my eyes gradually adapted to the environment in the dark, vaguely feel that some of the surroundings are not quite right, take a closer look, the eyes even appeared miraculous scene, the previous with the The door drawn on the craggy stone screen with the “Mountain Viewing Divine Brush” is slowly opening silently.

Dry waterfall stone screen, can be a hundred meters high, even in the dark night, look past can see a large fuzzy white rock layer, I suddenly found that painted on the stone screen on the gate is open, revealing a dark cave entrance.

At first I was surprised and strange, also said in a dream, or in the dark night to see the blurred eyes, rubbed his eyes vigorously, once again concentrated on watching, only to see that the dark cave is still slightly wriggling, not only that, I also then noticed, in the air there is a strange sound of a slight vibration.

I do not dare to be careless, hastily Shirley Yang and others from sleep to wake up, the people see the rock wall of the strange, are doubly surprised, a moment of uncertainty, who did not dare to act rashly, only to continue to crouch in the original place, eyes to observe the movement.

Only to hear the bottom of the canyon in the bushes, everywhere is the sound of buzzing wings, that buzzing sound slowly become dense, I feel a movement in my heart, I think the sound of déjà vu, it should be some kind of swarms of flying insects, but not like the canyon of the “thatched fairy grass ghosts”.

At this time, I heard Professor Sun shouted: “Stinging bee! With a brush to draw the door of the rock wall is full of stinging bees ……” he said, and then hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth tightly, fearing that the sound is too loud, alarmed the wild bees in the mountains.

I have also seen a little end, the original in all directions one after another a swarm of wild bees surging over, looks like it seems to be “Guanshan divine brush” left in the ink, contains some kind of attracting bees drugs, so that the swarms of bees out of the nest, the wild bees in the mountains are mostly “hornets”, stinging people is not a joke, it is not a joke. The wild bees in the mountains are mostly “wasps”, stinging people is no joke, but Fatty and I used to poke a lot of hornet’s nests, and we have always been familiar with the habits of wild bees, and at the moment, although we feel puzzled and don’t know what’s so strange about the method of drawing the door of the “God’s Brush of Mount Guan Shan”, we didn’t feel alarmed about the appearance of a large swarm of wild bees in the canyon.

When I saw Prof. Sun panicked, I whispered to him, “Don’t panic, unless the hive is threatened, wild bees won’t easily attack unrelated people, as long as you lie still here, there shouldn’t be too much danger.”

Professor Sun listened to a little peace of mind, but he used to go to the countryside to collect cultural relics, had been stung by wild bees in the mountains, see countless wild bees around the more and more gathered, swarms of bees surging, look as if the clouds fluttering, a spectacular sight, the sound of wild bees wings in the forest drumming sound, he has actually learned the stinging bees of the powerful, once bitten by snakes, ten years afraid of the rope of the well, and always think, even if it is the mountain bears, lions, tigers, and leopards, there is no such a large-scale swarm of bees to terror. He always thought that even the bears, lions, tigers and leopards in the mountains were not as terrifying as such a large-scale swarm.

At this moment, the black swarm of bees came to the sky, Sun Jiuzi naturally can not avoid the heart of all trembling, a burst of hair, had to close his eyes, and blocked his ears with his hands, not to listen to the swarm of bees “buzzing” sound of flying, but the sound is still like a large and powerful hornets drilling hard into the head of the people, face of the face of the unsightly has been extremely ugly.

I did not think that the ink brush marks would be so effective, driving a large swarm of wild bees, regardless of the depth of the night, a steady stream of surging, in case the wild bees suddenly explode and hurt people, we in the canyon in the wings can not help but also have a chestnuts from the danger of the intention, cursing the Guanshan Taibao Feng Shigu this old landlord head, cheating with a medicinal pen and ink to attract the swarms of bees, in the end, what the hell is going to sing which show?

Shirley Yang lowered his voice in my ear and said: “Old Hu, I see this is like moving mountains to split the armor of the formula, we must not take action, wait and see what happens to be the best policy.”

I nodded my head and gestured to Fatty who was preparing to run towards the river, letting the crowd not rush to escape and get away first, and take a look with courage.

Not long after, the wild bees seem to have been “Guanshan divine brush” left by the ink marks of the breath, provoked intoxicated, close to the mountain wall on the branches of a horizontal tree secretion of wax, set up several hives.

It seems that the wild bees gathered from all sides do not belong to the same species, some hairy bees use earth and stone to make nests, and some wall bees build their nests on top of the nest walls of the wild hornets, but the black-tailed and black-headed wild hornets are the most numerous, far more than any other group of bees, and are even more capable of camping nests, and they build their own nests bigger and bigger, and gradually connect several large nests together to form a large nest, with the rest of the small nests around them wrapped up in it. They were all wrapped up in it.

Before and after about an hour’s time, the hive has been two or three meters square, densely packed with bee pupae crawling in and out, drumming and moving, hanging it on the branches of the tree were crashed to bend down, trembling almost pressed on the ground.

The more we watched the more strange, suddenly felt a piece of white light flashing on the mountain wall, painted on the rock of the gate, in the wild bees crawling back and forth under the friction, gradually produce some kind of change, the black ink presents a touch of flickering flickering light, in the night seems to look, as if there is a group of eerie white ghost fire.

The wild hornets gathered in the huge hive seemed to be frightened by the ghostly fire on the rock wall, and flew out of the hive one after another, and in the air, circled around the hive in a chaotic manner.

I suddenly realized that the ink marks on the rock, with the passage of time gradually appeared the appearance of luminous, but also created a kind of light flames rising, burning fire illusion, so that the nest of the swarms of wild bees in the nest in a haze, mistakenly thought that the fire in the forest endangered the nest, and this is a chaotic position out of the nest.

We barely suppressed the fear and anxiety in our hearts, although we know that Guanshan Taibao is good at different arts, in addition to the mastery of yin and yang feng shui is not inferior to the “Golden Schoolmaster”, and in the birth of grams to control the magic and other strange and bizarre ways, than its “moving mountains to the Taoist,” I’m afraid it is also I’m afraid that it is also the “mountain-moving Taoist”. I couldn’t see through the mechanism for a while, so I had to hold on and continue to peep.

The next thing that happened, is even more eye-opening, only to see the swarm of bees out of the hive, and soon recovered from the chaos of the situation in order, although small, seems to have its order law, and no signs of fleeing from the swarm, but in order to not let the flames burn down the hive, a strand of the set up, flew to the top of the hive drowning drenched in the hive, “Bee Drowning” The term “Bee Drowning” is used by the practitioners of martial arts, but in fact, it is not “drowning”, it should be a kind of secretion of wild bees, which is transparent and odorless, and a wild hornet can at most secrete a drop of bee drowning of the size of a tear, and it is only when the hive is on fire that a wild hornet will have “bee drowning”. A wild hornet can produce up to one tear-sized drop of “bee drowning”, and only when the hive is on fire.

Tens of thousands of swarms of bees scrambled to be the first, and soon drenched the hive with “bee drowning”, and within a few moments, the “bee drowning” had already flowed all over the hive, and kept dripping down onto the green stone board right below.

“Bee drowning” touches the stone, like acid corrupts the iron, on the surface of the underground green stone, in a few moments, “bee drowning” noiselessly eroded a big pit with a diameter of about several feet, with more “bee drowning” dripping down, below the hive penetrated the stone, and the hive was drenched in wetness. As more “bee drowning” dripped down, a deep hole quickly formed underneath the hive through the stone and the earth.

When I saw this, I finally saw the clue, the original is so “draw the ground for the door”, the entrance to the ancient tomb of the village of the Earth Immortal is not in the dry waterfall, but under the old tree on the opposite side of the situation, I also have to admire the “Observatory of the Mountain Tai-po” technique is really strange and weird, and also remembered that it seems to be “moving the mountain”, and the “bee drowning”. I also remembered that there was a similar record in the technique of “moving mountains and dividing armor”.

Deep in the mountains of wild hornets originally non-toxic, have the effect of breaking through the stone, just from the hive dripping behind, can not be retained, so this hole can only play straight up and down, in addition, if the wild onion juice mixed with, can make voodoo, coated in the arrow cluster, to stab the civet, civet walk one step and die, and then use this arrow to shoot bears, bears hit by the arrow, the same also walk one step that is, if the civet walks two steps to die, the bear also walks two steps and die. The principle of which outsiders can hardly peep at the mystery, now these natives witchcraft has been lost for a long time, in the grave robbing art, only “bee drowning through the mountain” approach has been handed down.

I think of this, I can not help but suddenly born a burst of emotion, I have seen and heard of the strange and wonderful secret techniques, most of them have been lost, all kinds of secret techniques have been declining and declining, less and less of the content of the transmission, it is estimated that in a few years, the same will be completely lost and cut off, just like those ancient tombs that we have entered, the ancients like to take the secrets of the past life and wealth together with them when they die, they would rather be in the ground and rotting into the mud, but also do not want to leave to the uninvolved world. They would rather rot in the ground and become mud, rather than leave it to the irrelevant world.

Seeing the hole in the rock is getting deeper and deeper, still do not see the end, we began to have some heart muttering, really do not know that the tomb hidden in the ground how deep, the village of the earth fairy and what will be the scene?

Professor Sun this time slowed down the God, see the green soil, all silver-white rock layer, immediately look extraordinarily excited, trembling voice: “certainly is the ancient tomb of the village of …… that white rock layer are dead silver, this is the iron wall silver screen ah.”

It is said that silver piled up for a long time, it will decay into silver mud, that is, the folk commonly known as “dead silver”, decayed silver mud weathering hard as iron, with the hammer to smash the hammer to smash, can only smash a white trace, if the “silver screen” as a barrier to the tomb wall, far more than the ordinary rammed earth wall to get a better result, the silver screen is the silver screen, the silver screen is the silver screen. If you use the “silver screen” as a tomb wall barrier, it is much stronger and more stable than ordinary rammed earth wall.

And the silver screen is thick, the sound is difficult to conduct, even if there is a keen ear, can not use the art of listening to the wind and thunder to detect the location of the tomb, the dead silver has another advantage, if there is a silver ants and other insects nearby, the silver layer of the middle of the breakage, it can also be through the activities of insects and ants to breed their own fill, that is to say, the entrance to the tomb, only temporarily appeared, and then the silver screen iron wall will be closed again! In other words, the entrance to the tomb only appears temporarily, and then the silver screen and iron wall will close again, and it will still be covered by soil, grass and trees.

This method is originally from the “gold seedling” art, is an ancient gold seedling leader to master a kind of ancient “spell”, will be very limited, and due to too much secrecy, and now has been lost for hundreds of years, no one in the world through the road, just learn the art of the people all know that Hundreds of years ago, there was once such a mysterious set of “spells”. Jin Miao used the so-called “square magic”, can also be called “magic”, in fact, this “law” means “method “, is the use of “art” of the “method”, including incantations, know-how, font size, trigrams, props, secret recipes, including the general term. Each group of gold seedlings have a leader, is regarded as “gold head”, only the gold head mastered the ancient and mysterious formula “hold gold spell”.

Deeply buried gold and silver treasures, time is long, they will get the essence of spirituality, this set of ancient spell to hold the gold, is specifically used to “gold soul and silver spirit” from the underground, and then use the needle to tie it, and then find the underground treasure. But if there is no “gold head” of the spell to make the gold and silver of the spirit of the home, dig out all the gold and silver will be rotten as black mud and rotten wood, worthless, the natives called “gold and silver dung”, but the dead silver property special, solid exception, axe chopping and hammer chiseling a white spot, so it is known as the silver screen and iron wall. Iron wall of silver screen.

Only a large number of “dead silver” need to sink years of accumulation, not in a short period of time can easily form a silver screen iron wall, in the tomb collection is not common, only the “ground immortal village tomb” in such legends have long been, so Prof. Sun immediately concluded that the silver corpse under the rock layer, it must be the “ground immortal village tomb”. So Prof. Sun immediately concluded that underneath the rock layer of silver corpses, it must be the entrance of the “Tomb of the Earth Immortal Village”, but no one expected that the entrance of the Tomb would appear before everyone’s eyes in such a way.

The ghost fire at the dry waterfall gradually dimmed down, the swarm of bees kept dropping “bee drowning”, suddenly heard the sound of underground masonry cracking up, a wisp of white smoke from the crypt rushed straight up, will be on the branches of the tree that huge hive of inertia to the mid-air, the hive cracked into a number of petals, some fell in the forest, some hit on the cliffs above, that many of the wild hornets by the crypt, but also a white smoke, it is the most important thing. The many wild wasps were washed by the white smoke in the crypt, but also non-death or injury, leaving a large area of dead wasps on the ground, the rest see the nest is gone, then the tree fell Hu Sun scattered, all fled to the clean.

We were hiding under the nearby rocks to watch the movement, suddenly saw the crypt sprayed white smoke, a shower of bees in the mid-air, countless dead bees fell down, fell all over the head and body, the dense white fog then spread to.

People hastily cover the mouth and nose to dodge back, but still half a step late, feel like a sudden face was scattered a handful of lime, and spicy and choking, snot and tears immediately trickled down, tinnitus and blurred eyes and also uncontrollable coughing, good in the side of the catacombs, the distance is not too close, was not directly by the tomb of the white smoke sprayed, even if it is so feel nausea and dry heaving, difficult for a while, that burst of stinging eyes and mouth and nose of the The white mist, come and go quickly, instantly dissipated without a trace, and so we set off the body of the dead bees, and then look at the old tree under, there is only a deep, bottomless grotto.

Fatty on the ground spit two mouths of spittle, probing the ground to the crypt of a sheet, scolded: “What smell so runny? Really fucking can choke the living dead ah, I say we can not underestimate the landlord class ah comrades, this group of Guanshan Taibao is also a small temple demon wind big, shallow pool more than eight, look at this situation, the tomb of the treasures of the artifacts must have everything, we do not have to hesitate, directly into the copied is.”

I also went over to take a look, the iron wall silver screen is very deep, with the “wolf eye flashlight” can not light the end, and Professor Sun turned out the gas mask on his head, impatiently want to go down to see, I stopped him and said: “This time is to be real, how can I really let you go to the tomb to trip the landmine? It is better for me to go down first, and then you can follow me down when you have found out the situation.”

I do not allow people to compete, later by me first go down to explore, if everything is normal, and then the whole group went in together, did not want to let the youngest sister to follow the risk, but would like to count on her to crack the tomb in the machine ambush, taking into account that she participated in the militia training, on the general “militia simple communication methods” is also very clear, in addition to the bold and careful, but also has a certain degree of military literacy, it was decided to let her go with the, only to instruct her to She was only told to stay close to Shirley Yang, and never to go to the front of the expedition or be at the end of it.

I let the group proceed to the final preparations, not useful things all thrown down, protective gear can wear all wear, and counted the equipment, the lighting tools evenly distributed to each person to carry a three-person share of the gas mask plus a spare, divided among five people after only one, to do emergency use, gas mask carrying bag are hanging in front of the chest, can be used at any time and anywhere.

Hastily prepared, has been more than an hour, the material to the inside of the tomb over enough wind, I threw a cold fireworks to the grotto, to see the cave is about a dozen meters deep, and then cover the gas mask, with the tiger claw tugging the ground, carrying the “Golden Steel Umbrella” down to the bottom of the ground, the silver screen on the rock layer of the bee drowning have dried, but the air is full of impurities, the visibility underground is extremely low. But the air was full of impurities and the visibility was extremely low.

I fell to the ground, my feet on the ground, and then in the light of cold smoke and fire to look around, thick silver layer is a natural cave, not wide, about the size of four private rooms, the end of the rock wall closed, the ground carved with a simple stone steps, zigzagging to the dark depths of the cave terrain is narrow, the environment is humid and depressing.

I first took off my gloves and touched the tomb tiles on the wall, only to feel the crevices of the rock layer has a slight cold wind invading the bones, may be underground air circulation, or feng shui position in the dragon gas dense, may not need to use a gas mask, but do not dare to be too big for this, in the tomb passage, lit a candle, see the candle flame is no abnormality, this is the pull off the gas mask, blowing the whistle, to the ground to send a signal.

Shirley Yang and other people heard the whistle out, will follow one after another down, stood fixed look around, Professor Sun looked at the cave terrain environment, doubtfully said to me: “Strange …… here is not like an ancient tomb.”
