Chapter 44: Death – Coming Unexpectedly

At last, Feng wanted to knock Sun Xuewu out and escape, but suddenly remembered one thing, and instructed Sun Xuewu: “This Bashan Ape told me that when our father was alive, he tamed the animal in the mountain, and it is a long time to understand the spirit, and can understand the meaning of the words, only a few years younger than me, and it is often with me all these years, and I will go to look for the tomb of Dixian Village, no matter whether he is alive or dead, and I will let him come back to you to give you a message, if I have an accident, you are the only heir of our Guanshan Feng family. message, if I have an accident, you are the only heir of our Guanshan Feng family, you must try to enter the Coffin Gorge again after twelve years, to see if that deceiving Feng Shigu has found the Corpse Immortal or not.”

Sun Xuewu knows that the parting of life and death is in the interval, and is sad and worried, tearful: “Big brother you have been on the military horse for half of your life, can be said to have seen a lot of knowledge, the skills passed down by your ancestors you have also learned far more than me, I hate only hate that I have let my life to be wronged by Confucianism crowns, and become a useless nerd, and even you can’t do the things that I’m afraid that I am hopeless in this life as well.”

Head Feng sighed, patted his brother’s shoulder and said, “This matter is a thousand times more difficult and dangerous, it is indeed difficult for you, but if you don’t do it, where is the rest of our Guanshan Feng family?” He slightly pondered, and said: “If you feel weak in the future, you can find a way to go to find the gold touching lieutenant to help, once heard that in the late Qing Dynasty, there is also a Zhang San Master specializing in gold touching and backstabbing hooks, since the Ming Dynasty Yongle years since the destruction of the Faqiu touching the gold of the seal of the letter, the world should still be left in the three touching the gold talisman, I think that set of searching the mountain and finding the dragon of the gold touching the secret art still have a passer-by. ”

Chief Feng told his brothers, in the future, in case there is no way out, they will look for the help of the “Gold Toucher”, as the saying goes, “72 lines of gold touching is the king”, and only the “Gold Toucher’s Secret Art” can break the “Ancient Tomb of the Earth Immortal Village”. “Tomb of the Earth Immortal Village”.

Sun Xuewu heard more difficult, when I was a child, I heard our father said, the world really capable of “fighting” masters, from ancient times there have been “Fachou touching gold, moving mountains, unloading the ridge” three branches, “Changsheng Mountain “in the unloading of the ridge group of robbers, as early as before liberation has gone up in smoke;” moving mountain sub-A “of the group of Taoist seems to have no heir, all disappeared for many years.

The “Golden Guards” is the top in the inverted bucket line, must be extremely competent, but in the Ming Dynasty, the court destroyed their “seal token”, really if we trace back to the roots of the matter must also belong to our “Guanshan Fengjia “Although it’s been a few hundred years, I’m afraid we can’t get out of that mess.

Feng leader said that “the deeds of the Great Ming Guanshan Taibao” is very secret, people outside never know, the remaining “gold detectives”, should not know those old stories, the wind of the gold to help the world ancient, as long as you find them to explain the reason, most likely to get them to help. The reason is to find them and explain the reason, most likely to be able to get them to help.

Sun Xuewu still feel overwhelmed, although legend has it that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a “gold touching lieutenant”, because he hangs three charms, so they call that person “Zhang three chain”, but now what year? During this time, “the sun and moon shuttle, change of dynasties”, how many earth-shattering changes have occurred in the world, who knows whether there is still a descendant of the gold talisman?

Even if Master Zhang really passed down the “Gold Touching Talisman” and the “Dragon Seeking Skill”, it was only passed down to two or three people, and the actions of the “Gold Touching Schoolmasters” were extremely secretive. Extraordinarily hidden, under the sky and sea, who knows where those “Goldtouch” officers are now? I am left alone, where can I find them?

Feng leader saw that his brother is not very competitive, doing and talking are afraid of wolves and tigers, know that he is difficult to take on important responsibilities, but there is no way out, when the prominent “Guanshan Feng family”, since the “Immortal Feng Shiku” led the crowd into the mountain, has been no longer the weather of the past! Although today, science has become more and more advanced, he is still convinced of the so-called “Corpse Immortal” mentioned in his ancestor’s legacy, believing that “Feng Shiku” practiced demonic magic in the mountain, and that the devil knows what result he got. I don’t know what result he got, if he really said before entering the tomb that he would “enter the world to cure people” in the future, he would surely kill many innocents again.

Therefore, the head of the Feng family is determined, the old Feng family’s affairs have to be solved by the old Feng family’s own people, in addition, if he stays in the labor farm again, it will be nothing but death, he might as well escape back to the “Wushan Mountain”, and if he is going to die, it will be better to die to the ancestral home of the “Coffin Gorge”, so I am glad to see that he has to fight to the death! Luckily, Mr. Feng tried his best to die by breaking into the “ancient tomb of Di Xian Village”, and ended the “karmic obstacles” created by the Feng family at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, Mr. Feng knew that the “Coffin Mountain” buried in the “Nine Deaths Scary Tomb Armor” would be opened only once in twelve years, and counting with his fingers, the time left was not much, so he had to be hard-hearted and take the “pickaxe handle” to knock out Sun Xuejun. “smashed Sun Xuewu fainted, this is also in order to not let Sun Xuewu for him to eat” hanging fall “and then took advantage of the night to escape into the mountains, a go and never came back.

Sun Xuewu in this matter was not a small stimulus, in accordance with the teachings of the elder brother, since then more reticent, he was afraid of losing words, but also very little contact with outsiders, because things are really as Feng said, in those days, if people were out of the ancestors are “landlords, mine head” and “grave robbers, If you were told that your ancestors were “landlords, mine bosses” and “grave robbers and royalists”, you would have to be stripped of your skin even if you didn’t die.

Plus Sun Xuewu engaged in the nature of the work, extremely boring and monotonous, gradually made him become a lonely person, so that the people around him are very excluded, only Professor Chen Jiuren Chen is still considered one of his friends, but even if the relationship with Professor Chen general “old friends”, for him, but also absolutely not can be a heartfelt friendship.

After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Sun Xuewu’s problem is more complex, although the organization has not yet made a conclusion, but the work is still temporarily resumed, he has not seen his brother and the “Bashan apes reed”, the heart often worry about this matter, and finally found an opportunity to enter the “Coffin Gap” alone! “He had never been back to his ancestral home in his life, but he knew the route and topography of the area, which had been passed down from generation to generation in his family.

At that time, the old town of Qingxi had already been abandoned, and he met the “Bashan Ape Outlaws” in the empty town, and was taken into the “Coffin Gorge”, where he saw the body of his brother, Mr. Feng, the leader of the group.

Before his death, Feng left a suicide note to Sun Xuewu, in which he described in detail his experiences after escaping from the “Orchard Gorge”:

When Feng escaped back to the ancient town of Qingxi, his ancestral home, the construction of the Qingxi air-raid shelter was nearing completion, and the construction workers had already run the main tunnel from the town to the Coffin Gorge, and the tunnel had been cut through the old mine and into the Coffin Gorge. The construction crew had already run the main tunnel from the ancient town to the “Coffin Gorge”, and excavated a number of “stone people” from the ancient mine tunnel, and transported some of them to the construction headquarters in the town.

At that time, the construction personnel did not have the concept of “cultural relics”, but only felt that the mountain buried such hideous and ugly stone statues are a little strange, and intended to report the situation to the higher-ups for instructions on how to dispose of them.

Feng Feng, who spied this situation, knew that it was not good, and hurriedly took “Bashan Ape Outcasts” to play tricks in the town, disturbing the attention of the construction workers, and at that time, due to the solidity of the “Qingxi Air Defense Shelter” was not up to the standard, and the superiors temporarily interrupted the manned defense project. At that time, due to the “Qingxi air-raid shelter” solidity is not up to standard, the superiors temporarily suspend the area of the human defense project, the construction of all the people withdrew, leaving an empty town, no one to pay attention to the “Coffin Gorge” near the antiquities, which let him breathe a sigh of relief.

Feng half of his life in the sword and gun bush, courage and insight are far better than ordinary people, he took his only partner “Bashan apes reed” into the “Coffin Gorge”, but found that he could not open the “Nine Palace chi dragon tiger lock”. But he found that he could not open the “Nine Palace Chi-Tiger Lock”, he did not learn all of his ancestral skills, and then he realized the power of the “Immortals”, and thought that it was too simple, and then he was so angry that he suffered from old wounds, and paid for it with his own life, and estimated that Sun Xuewu might come into the mountains in the future to look for him, and then he left his last will and testament.

Feng head of the dying suddenly remembered something, when in the Northeast, has not been and sheep two eggs that group of Hu bandits, listening to them say that the Kwantung Army to find a thing in the mountains, this thing is a Feng Shui secret, buried in what place what place is the sleep of the dragon’s “treasure cave”, but what is the specific piece of artifacts, did not hear clearly at that time, only seemed to be Heard that this see the secret weapon, is removed from an ancient mirror, and other do not know.

Ancient mirror can restrain evil things, in China has been thousands of years of tradition, so the seal group in the will instruct Sun Xuewu, to your ability, want to go into the tomb to deal with the corpse fairy must be no return, you not only want to think of a way to unlock the “Nine Palace chi dragon locks”, but also to take into account the “Palace of the King of the sheep” in the “Palace”. “in the” road map “, this map and countless fake map hidden in the coffin of Zhenshan, if you do not understand the doorway of the Nine Palace gossip, to the front also have no way to know which map is true; you engage in archaeological work, if you have the opportunity to get a few heirlooms of the” ancient mirror If you are engaged in archaeological work, if you have the chance to get a few heirloom “ancient mirrors”, with a few of these things into the tomb to see the “Immortals”, there will be a few more points of victory.

At the end of this letter, Feng leader confessed that he was sorry for his life Sun Xuewu this biological brother, repeatedly urged him to even if the bones of his ancestors to do the things entrusted to do, or do not give brother and father to collect bones for burial.

Sun Xuewu hugged the corpse and cried, the elder brother’s suicide note and relics are close to hide, go back to continue to be anonymous, those relics inside the many Guanshan Feng family passed down the “number of arts”, even including the use of paper people armored horse burning incense round light of the blindfold method, but not to the tomb to see the mural of the Tang Dynasty demon mausoleums, there is no effect, I do not know whether this art is true or false.

In addition, his ancestor Feng Shiqi involved in the construction of the Tomb of the Earth Immortals, know some of the internal situation, left some relevant records, but passed on to Sun Xuewu here, are fragmented, but he still roughly know the “Wu Yang Wang Tomb” inside some of the situation, where where there are murals in the Tomb of the Tang Dynasty Demon Tomb, the map is hidden in which which tomb passage, and then from the Which piece of labyrinthine mine cave drilled in, according to the map will be able to enter the Tomb of the Immortals, these things finally have an outline in his mind.

But to say that to crack the “Guanshan finger fan foo”, step by step from those obscure and difficult hints to find out the “door of life”, to his own knowledge and learning is difficult to do, but he is very deep minded, more perseverance and patience, the use of the work of the day and night to study the “ancient trigrams of the circumference of heaven”. He used his work to study the “ancient trigrams” day and night, in order to solve those puzzles when he entered the tomb in the future, and searched everywhere for the “ancient mirror for suppressing corpses” and the “gold touching inspector” who hanged the talisman, in order to settle this old debt in his lifetime. I also searched everywhere for the “Ancient Mirror to Quell Corpses” and the “Gold Touch”, in order to settle this old score in my lifetime, and also to let my father, brother and ancestors rest in peace.

In this dark and cold temple, Sun Jiuzi’s words said that we are dumbfounded, even if my brain and then more long 36,000 spindles, but also guessed that the truth is so, listen to his words, I have nothing to suspect again, because some of the details belong to the “bottom of the sea eye”, is by no means out of thin air can make up a lie. I’m not sure if I can believe this, but I’m sure I can believe it.

I asked Mr. Sun Jiuzi: “So you have been eyeing the Golden Schoolmaster for a long time, can you tell me when it started? Can you tell me when it started?”

Master Sun Jiu said, “From the first time we met in Shaanxi, you and Dajinya asked me to look at the mark on the back of the neck, when you pulled open the collar, I saw the gold touching talisman hanging on your neck at a glance.”

I secretly said “wronged”, at that time my “touch gold talisman” or the big gold tooth to give the fake, only the fat man from the Dragon Ridge Cave corpse pile to touch a real talisman, I can’t imagine that is the bringer of the mindless, the looker intention, the original from that time we let Sun Jiu master staring at the! The first time I saw him, he was definitely holding back his bad intentions and counting on us for a long time, but I was always in the dark, and I thought I was always on top of the latest trends in the class struggle, but this time I was completely caught up in it.

Sun Jiuzi said: “At that time, I saw you and the big gold teeth are not in the four six, and Panjiayuan those dumping things of the two traffickers is not much difference, also refused to believe that with you can understand the secret art of touching the gold, but then I heard that you take the old Chen that expedition into the desert to find the Jingjie Ancient City, I was only to see you differently, but … … …I still wanted to try out your skills, so when we met for the second time, I gave you some clues about the tomb of King Xian in Yunnan.”

When I heard this, my heart was even more indignant, remembering the first time I heard Prof. Sun say the words “King Xian’s Tomb” in the coffin store in Shibidian, Shaanxi, back then, if I hadn’t learned about “Mistletoe” and “King Xian’s Tomb” from him, Shirley and I wouldn’t have been able to find out about “King Xian’s Tomb”, and I would have been able to find out about “King Xian’s Tomb”. If it was not from his mouth to learn about the “痋术” and “献王墓”, Shirley Yang and I would not have made up our minds to go to Yunnan “遮龙山”, how deep is the mind of this Sun Jiuji master? The first thing I want to say is that I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do this, but I’m sure I’m going to be able to do it.

Sun Jiuzi then said: “I’m too tired to live this life, since into the tomb of the earth immortal, I have nothing to hide, so sexually a hair to say to you know, and then I got the bronze dragon symbol, and know the whereabouts of the ancient mirror of the return of the ruins, with the old Chen told a big lie, let you go to the South China Sea to salvage the green head … … …”

Mr. Sun told us that after he got the bronze mirror, he moved to go to the “Wushan Coffin Gorge” idea, but to ask the “Gold Touch” counterparts, I’m afraid it’s not too easy, he was most worried about his own hidden identity and cheating the mirror, once exposed, then the “Guanshan finger mystery”. The “mountain view refers to the fan of the whole assignment” to tell, as social loafers like Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi two “gold touching lieutenants”, a look at the speech style are hobby “speculation” the The guy, most likely will not talk about what professional ethics, surely on the spot to get rid of their own, straight to the village tomb to fish Ming ware to get rich.

So Sun Jiuji master racked his brains to think of ways, he learned from Professor Chen mouth, now that the gang is going to look for ancient corpses in the body of the condensation of the “Golden Dan”, if the citation said that the scientific name is the dead “Danding”, and so do not do anything, make a “Bitter meat trick”, made up a “working notes”, in the notes seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, the “Di Xian Village Tomb” hidden “Dan Ding “The matter of revealing, and their own concealment to cheat the “ancient mirror to the ruins of the” also recorded in it, but especially emphasized that the “Gua mirror” can divine the location of the tomb, so that to go to Wushan The “Coffin Gorge”, will have to bring this mirror.

Then Sun Jiuzi tracked all the way, pretending to lose the notebook in the “Tianjin Museum of Nature”, but then the day, only suddenly remembered that a hundred close and one negligent, did not count the day, from the tomb guard “nine deaths shocked mausoleum armor” reveal the door of the life, is still half a year long, so I had to use again! Conceal the means of heaven, first spit out a section of the “Guanshan finger fan fugue” to stabilize the crowd, the time dragged half a year long.

Using this half year’s time, Mr. Sun found an opportunity to sneak back to the Coffin Gorge alone, secretly set up, even his brother’s “last letter” were replaced with fake, and found the “Bashan Ape Guest Book” which was always wandering around the neighborhood guarding the corpse. He also found the “Bashan Lizard” wandering around the area to guard the body and explained some things to it, which the Lizard was extremely psychic and had lived for quite a few years, so he could understand what Mr. Sun was trying to say.

Finally, Sun Jiuzi pretended to hurry back from the field, with all the people set off into the mountains, although he hid a full of secrets, but by rarely deal with outsiders, so is not good at disguise cover up, sometimes pretend to three points will be enough, to him this is often to pretend enough twelve points, leading the crowd, the “view of the mountains pointing to the mystery of the assignment” intermittent disclosure of, from The content after “Want to see the earth immortal, first find the sheep” is mostly his own alteration, just to prevent others from dumping him to do it alone.

As the saying goes, “People have a hundred calculations, but God has only one”, but human calculations are not as good as heaven’s calculations. Prof. Sun never dreamed that halfway there will be one more member, that is, “peak nest mountain” in the youngest sister, she easily opened the “nine palace chi dragon tiger locks”, this nearly lost “pin ware child “Craft, but even the” gold inspector “does not have. There are a few other places in advance to plan carefully, but produce errors, caused many alarming things out, afterward thought, really is a fluke.

And so into the “Wulumuwang tomb”, the tunnel in front of the tomb door originally did not have “Wu Hou Zang Bing” mechanism, because that year, due to the uncertainty of the dark springs in the ground, and finally did not build, only its shape. In this tunnel, when the map, Sun Jiu master has the intention to take the real map, after the rest of the people to get rid of, so secretly to the “Bashan ape reed” sent a signal, so that it hides in advance in the tunnel to receive, and so on me and the fat man is not prepared when, burning incense to invoke the immortal, want to use the “belly fairy” demon phase entangled in the “Bashan”. I’m not sure if you’re going to be able to get away with it, but I’m sure you’re going to be able to get away with it,” he said.

Sun Jiuji sighed to me: “I know you have gradually began to suspect me, so I want to take the map in the tomb on the go, I can’t imagine that you Hu Bayi is too shrewd, speculative second-hand traffickers are really ghosts very much, and even beforehand to recognize, put together a vice fake map to cheat me, now it’s good, you want to escape can’t escape, this mountain of nine deaths in the mausoleum armored will soon be closed, the door of the life and then open! The hour …… will have to wait until twelve years later.”

I don’t care about it, “You don’t have to be alarmist with me, as long as Master Sun Jiu you dare to come in, what do I dare not? The big deal is that we will go out together after twelve years.”

Master Sun Jiu didn’t answer me directly, but asked Shirley Yang what time it is now, Shirley Yang looked at her watch, “There are just twenty minutes to midnight.”

Sun said: “We came all the way in a lot of time, from the dark road back to the original road, two or three hours is definitely not enough, a midnight at twelve o’clock, the nine deaths of the surprise mausoleum armor will appear, you must know that this thing is powerful, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty’s mausoleum on the setting of the armor guards, the Red Eyebrows army theft of the Mausoleum when the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people with half a month’s time! Only to break the nine deaths shock mausoleum armor ……”

I said to Prof. Sun: “nine deaths of fright mauling armor’s powerful I naturally know, but the red eyebrow army at that time has not unloaded the means of the ridge, is nothing more than a group of rabble digging and digging, how many deaths and injuries is not strange. I just want to ask you, since into the coffin mountain has no life, why do you still dare to come in? Do you really not want to live?”

Sun Jiuzi face muscles suddenly twitched twice, whispered, “Do you still remember, I once told you …… that the four of you have long been dead?”

I was aghast in my heart, remembering that there are indeed signs of corpse scarring surfacing on my body, this matter is very bad, so I asked, “But you old ghost had also told us earlier, as long as we enter the coffin mountain ground fairy village will be able to live. Is this also with us to believe in nonsense? Is it not good enough for you to show some dialectical materialist’s objective attitude?”

Shirley Yang also feel incredulous, asked him to explain this matter, Sun Jiuzi helplessly shook his head: “Coffin Gorge in the corpse gas is too heavy, the corpse spots on your body are no big deal, but only in the corpse poison, and ultimately will not be to the life of death, just now, I was in a hurry to enter the tomb of the Earth Immortal, and did not have time to explain clearly with you, only to pull this lie, but I that is also let you forced, but I also let you forced, but I also let you to do it. Now …… now I’ll say it straight, you don’t feel alarmed, I swear to the ancestors of the Guanshan Feng family, absolutely no falsehoods, we this five people, at least one person has died, the real long dead people …… is me. “
