Chapter 70: The Golden Spot
In the South China Sea coral spiral return to the ruins of the ruins, the captain of the ship Ruan Hei was killed, in his deathbed, I had promised to take good care of Duo Ling and Gu Guchai, who knows that Duo Ling ghosts like God, picked up the “Mary Siannu” captain’s broken wrist of the gold watch, hit in the gold watch in the evil arts of descending, and after the fact, after we confirmed that the French captain in the South China Sea smuggling antiques is exactly the father of Duo Ling lost in the Vietnam War, which has to be said that “the most coincidental but heavenly justice”. Afterwards, we confirmed that the French captain who smuggled antiques in Nanyang was Yu Duoling’s real father who was separated during the Vietnam War, which had to be said as “the most coincidental will of God, but the Lord of Heaven is heartless”.
We tried every means to save her life, but drifting in the sea for too long, back to the coral temple island, the poison of the corpse drop has been deep into the bone marrow, if there is no that “emerald heavenly clothes” in the body, more bell’s corpse has long been decayed, but in the end we did not find can save the life of the ancient corpse of the inner dan, or can not be retained her.
From the telegram sent by the big gold teeth to learn this news, my heart is like being blocked a stone, a sense of self-blame, two feel ashamed of the boat boss Ruan Hei in heaven, although I know that manpower is limited, some things can be done, some things and in any case can not be done, the wish to bring back the dead has become a cake, the thought of the world of things as cold as ice, it is really difficult for people to accept.
The people sighed in contempt for a time, said it is life and death in the sky, manpower can not be forced, things can not be helped, had to change the trip plan to return to the United States to participate in more than Ling’s funeral, the South China Sea egg people, most of the more superstitious, according to their customs, people die to send the boat five saints out to sea, the egg people’s bones are in the ground for peace, and also do three days of land and sea Taoist puja, sent on a meditative event to oversee the death of her out of the pain of the wheel of life as early as possible! We first came to the nameless town.
We first came to the unnamed town’s grocery store, to the “honeycomb mountain” Li old shopkeeper goodbye. The old shopkeeper quickly closed the store door, the people received in the store to ask a long question: “Look at you guys worried, I think this time into the mountains to do things are not very smooth, anyway, the next day will be long, even if there are any difficulties, do not have to be too worried.” Said words from the cabinet carried out two bottles of wine, to drink a few cups with me and the fat man.
We can’t refuse, only have to toast from, I can’t imagine that the old boss cabinet years, although high, the amount of alcohol is not reduced, the three half bottle of old cellar under the belly, pulled open the box, I put into the “Coffin Gorge” to look for the inner dan unsuccessful things to say once again, but also from the “ground immortal village tomb” in the reverse I took out the “Wu Hou Hidden Soldier Map” from the “Tomb of the Earth Immortal Village”.
I said to the old shopkeeper: “there is a way to return things to their owners, this set of ‘Wu Hou Zang Bing Tu’ a total of eight books, in the modernization of the construction is not useful at all, in addition to proficient in the machine pin master box maker, there may be no one else can read and understand it, only to fall into your hands may still be more or less useful.”
The old shopkeeper heard this really surprised, quickly took the old glasses to, such as holding the most precious like a page page to look not, while looking at the side of the continuous chanting: “the ancestor manifestation, really the ancestor manifestation!” This atlas is the ancient box maker’s treasure trove, later generations of clockwork and eight treasures screws, are not as clever as the mechanism, most of the content has been lost for many years, see the “honeycomb mountain” in the craft is going to fall out of the extinct, he the old bee master could not have dreamed that he could be in the tomb to re-find a full set of the “Marquis Hidden Soldier Map”, and then thanked him profusely for his help. He thanked me profusely and collected the maps properly.
I asked the old shopkeeper why “Wu Hou Zang Bing Tu” will appear in the “Di Xian Village Tomb”? Is it possible that the golden ox carrying the body of the woman tomb owner, was also once the Ming Dynasty “Beehive Hill” in the characters?
Li old shopkeeper is also a veteran, he accordingly said some of the past, so that I thought of some clues, speculation that the Ming Dynasty female corpse, may be the number of magic Liu Bingzhong after the Liu family specializes in the strange and recluse, and is proficient in arranging all kinds of pin spring mechanism, although not “Honeycomb Hill” in the craftsmen, but the Liu family and the generations of bee head of the friendship, the family passes on the It’s not surprising that the family has passed down this set of organ diagrams.
Mathematical Liu family and Guanshan Feng family in the same dynasty for the government, would have been mutually incompatible, the Immortal Feng Shigu stared at the Liu family’s pin equipment map, then secretly stole the Golden Calf Pack corpse tomb, but Feng Shigu although the magical powers, but is good at the evil and foreign foreign magic, even if you get your hands on the “Marquis Hidden Soldier Map” is difficult to fully understand the mystery, so the “Tomb of the Woolly Goat King” in the Marquis Hidden Soldier organs are only imaginary. So “Wu Yang Wang Tomb” in the Wu Hou hidden military organs are only imaginary, to the end were not able to build, and this atlas also with the “Guanshan Taibao” stolen sent a variety of corpses and artifacts, was placed in the same way in the “Earth Immortal Village” in the Yin House.
Of course, this is only my guess, with the “Coffin Mountain” collapse, the real situation has been impossible to prove, the three of them pushed the cups and exchanged, eyes and ears hot after pouring out their hearts, said a lot of words from the bottom of their hearts, I said to the old shopkeeper about the youngest sister’s things, pouring bucket of crafts with me to learn nothing, in fact, learn also not useful, but also once trapped in the gold line, and then want to get out of it, but also to learn to learn, and then to learn to learn to do it. Gold line, and then want to get out is much more difficult.
I myself is an example, when the fat man and I went to the Northeast savage ditch, is trying to make a fortune to help those poor friends, not much pursuit, but since we got a pair of chi bik in the tomb of the Jin generals began, those endless trouble began to come to the door, no less suffering, no less bitter to eat, can not be sure of the arms and legs of the living to today is not easy, during this period, who did not add a few scars on the body? Fatty’s nose in the Kunlun Mountains was cut off a piece of the phase are broken, thanks to our feet back to the sharp, but also thanks to the blessing of the Grandmaster, to be able to three times from the ghost gate to break out, and the youngest sister of her a mountain girl, learn to fight this camp, is by no means her proper home.
Said here, I turned my head to look out of the house, Shirley Yang and the youngest sister is outside the room to talk, can not hear what we talked about, then lowered his voice to the old shopkeeper said: “Women, the key is to marry a good man, I used to be in the army’s comrades quite a lot of, most of them are bachelors it, so you do not have to worry about this thing, all wrapped up in me, two days ago I asked the youngest sister, she is not willing to go abroad, but quite a lot of money, and she is not willing to go abroad. She is not willing to go abroad, but quite want to go to Beijing to see, I and fat man in Beijing Panjiayuan glazed factory also have some face, can let her to Qiao Er master’s antique store to work, learn some of the identification of antiques of the craft, and then married a reliable man, joy and peace of life on the life of the world, you can also follow to enjoy the blessings.”
The old shopkeeper nodded and said: “I see people never go blind, your idea quasi wrong, I’m sick with old diseases, the body is not as good as a day, maybe one day on the hand closed his eyes, the youngest sister of this child can have a good home, will die in peace.”
Then Li old shopkeeper said that he began to see us know the “vajra umbrella”, we have guessed that we are hanging charms inverted bucket of the “Goldtouch”, he is the old society over the people, of course, know the inverted line of goldtouching secret art, on the feng shui yin and yang things are very convincing, and would like to He asked me to help him choose a grave site as a “Yin Mansion” after his death.
I advised him that I was not proficient in feng shui, but only knew a little about it, and that I only relied on my ancestors’ “dragon secret” and “gold pointing” to make a living, and that there were indeed many things related to feng shui that I had seen and heard of in my life, but I also realized that feng shui could not control good fortune, bad luck or bad luck, and that he was only a member of a feng shui family. But I also found that feng shui does not control good luck or bad luck, he is only a geographic ecology.
In order to make Li shopkeeper believe, I told him one of my grandfather’s personal experience, before the liberation of my grandfather Hu Guohua, to measure the word, see Feng Shui, phase of the land for a living, these through the number of arts for others to make a living by divining the fortune and misfortune, because of the knowledge content is relatively high, so it is often honored as a “gold point”, Mr. Hu’s ability to come from half of the book “sixteen word Mr. Hu’s skills from half of the book “sixteen characters of yin and yang feng shui secret art”, are real talent, coupled with a person smart and careful, so got a “Mr. Gold Dot” name, set up a family business in the local area is also considered to be more affluent large households.
“Gold point” Mr. Hu every day to sit down to play the trigrams, for the north and south of all kinds of people talk about the geography of fortune telling, a day of drizzle like worry, the street pedestrians sparse, business is cold, many stores are in advance to play feint closed the door, Mr. Hu is sitting in the museum tea, suddenly heard the street hoofbeats, the horse passenger line to the door of the gold point of the trigrams store, fiercely strangled! Reins, turn over and jump off the horse, hurried into the store.
Mr. Hu hurriedly got up to welcome, at the same time put the eyes to measure the visitor, only to see that the man was forty or fifty years old, physique stout and robust, a faction of the rich and powerful tycoon look, acting so openly, should not be a horse thief, but he looked extremely gloomy, full of hanging guests at the door of the bad phase, I do not know if the family died what relatives to so.
Mr. Hu did not dare to be slow, invited the guest to sit down, tea and rituals, just to say: “Your guest at the door, I do not know what advice?”
The tycoon cupped his fist and said: “Mr. Golden Spot’s name, we have heard a lot, today, in the rain to come, naturally, there is nothing to do, I want to ask Mr. Hu can understand the way to phase land and house?”
Mr. Hu refers to this business to eat and feed his family, see the layman, how can he say he does not understand, and then raised himself to say: “Not small can boast, small can early years had a miraculous encounter, in the Yandang Mountain in the worship of the Tianmu real teacher, got a lot of teachings, those who are the house by the burial scripture, the Qingneng Ao language, the spirit of the city of the essence of the city, prompting the official development of the theory of the micro, all do not know, no one is not a fine, take the house of the land is the family’s own business, naturally not in the words. The landlord was overjoyed at his words.
The landlord heard the words of great joy, which then said the original cause, the original his surname Ma six rivers, ancestral home Tongling, and then do business to move to the Dongting Lake near the residence, in recent years, the Ma family by means of the powerful, on the government through the next through the ringing, monopolizing a lot of business in the local area, the money is more than want to build a mansion manor, please a feng shui doctor shape degree of the land, selected a piece of land, and then the seizure of the encroachment of the land, the construction of a mansion, costing a lot of money to build a mansion, and then the feng shui gentleman, the land, and then the land, and then the land, and then the land. Build a mansion, cost a lot of money, built a “high family, deep house, wide yard”, luxury extraordinary.
Ma Liuhe most believe in feng shui, choose this piece of land is to look on the situation of the treasure, all the courtyard pattern in the house, not divided into large and small, are invited to point out the layout of the master of the high bright, such as the new mansion is completed, the whole family happy to go in to live, who thought just moved in, the old man in the yard Ma slipped a foot, the old arm and leg can not bear to fall, did not survive half a day, they put down the fart and swallowed his breath.
The happy event into a funeral, not waiting to send the horse old master into the burial, Ma Liuhe’s eldest son was killed in the field by the enemy robbers, in short, since moving to the horse family after the new house, the family one after another dead, counting the servants and helpers, the whole family more than seventy mouths of the family, not out of a year, inside and outside of the death of thirteen human life.
Especially when the old master of the Ma family died, had been sitting in the courtyard in the middle of the night to play mahjong alone, the mouth also recited words, as if the rest of the three families are sitting on a ghost in general, this bizarre and incomparable behavior, the women at home horrified all colorless, the old master this is how? The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money from the government. But the old master of Ma usually at home as a bully, say nothing, everyone heart muttered, under the cumulative power is who do not dare to say. Unexpectedly not out a few days, at home without a disease, looking for people to the autopsy, neither poisoned nor sick, in short, the death of the unknown, so far no results, and now the whole family of the Ma family think of this time, but also feel a little bit of hairy.
But it is strange, the more people died, the more prosperous business of the Ma family, earn money to teach people dizzy, Ma Liuhe greedy for money and wealth, hard refused to move, but although the prosperity of fortune, the family is suffering a great difficulty, see still no one can not die a violent death, really can not hold out, had to find someone to change the feng shui, the neighborhood of the land masters are invited all over the place, but always have no effect.
Ma Liuhe was introduced, learned that there is a gold point in the city of Mr. Hu excels in “phase ground”, they will whip whip to come, to ask Mr. Hu to look at that piece of feng shui to the horse house, where in fact in addition to the error, but also so much loss of population, if there is the result of the time, do not begrudge the heavy gold thank you.
Mr. Hu heard, also felt that this is extraordinary, I can not imagine that so many people died, what kind of “evil land” is so powerful? He was cautious, lest not cracked, the Ma family is difficult to account for, is trying to find excuses to excuse, but saw Ma Liuhe from the bosom of the four gold bars in front of him, this four “yellowtail” is only a deposit, after the completion of the matter, there must be more than this ten times the heart to send.
Mr. Hu was shaken by the gold eyes a burst of hair flower, thought “how the situation of the horse house, always have to see to know, this is my by this is the money earned, what is in the way? Will not be sent to the door of the sale of this push away not? Besides, that Ma Liuhe braved the rain to come, I can not let down a piece of mind.” Immediately took the deposit, pack up the application of things, with “yellow paper, vermilion sand, compass, short iron sword, horse lamp, foreign oil, wind nail, duck tongue spade, pepper” and so on “look at the wind and look at the water” equipment, hired a donkey cart ride, follow the Ma Liuhe back to the house.
To the horse house is already late at night, first in the outside of the wine and rice, and then stayed in the inn, such as the turn of the day, Ma Liuhe accompanied Mr. Hu from the inside out of the “phase of the shape of the degree of land”, Mr. Hu’s teacher passed down the “sixteen words of yin and yang feng shui secret art”, there are “eight house mirror” of the law Mr. Hu’s master passed down the “sixteen characters of yin and yang secret art”, there is “eight house mirror” method, specializing in distinguishing between good and bad fortune and decline of the mansion pattern, and has never failed over the years.
Mr. Hu into the house after taking out a small copper mirror to, according to the sun and shadow to identify the direction of the angle, the art of touching the gold from the three Han period, in fact, the earliest originated in the Western Zhou period of the ancient art of the talisman, whether it is to find the dragon pointing point, or to look at the shape of the situation, traditionally do not use a compass, with a compass is not the ancient method.
Mr. Hu with Ma Liuhe all the way in, through the house through the household, look at the room furnishings, think the detailed organization, although not talk about very smart, the arrangement is also considered considerable, but the detailed organization is a factor, but also to “eight house mirror” method to continue to project, because of the ancient book has a cloud, “the house, the foundation of the people! Also, the size is not equal, yin and yang have different, if not all seek, with the lack of”.
Since the Song Dynasty, yin and yang two house more than five surnames sound benefit from the pronunciation of the family name to the sub-gold, wood, water, fire and earth, with the five elements of the eight doors of the orientation to the layout of the mansion, the Ma Liuhe family name and the house is not a crime, and the wealth of the prosperous, so this reason was also quickly ruled out by Mr. Hu.
Subsequently, the yellow and white road, speculation, “the sun and the moon, Qiankun, cold and heat, male and female, day and night, yin and yang” and so on details, only to see the horse house “to the situation for the body, to the well spring for the blood, to the masonry for the skin and flesh, to the grass for the hair, to the gateway for the crown and wear,” everything! “situation system” without any inappropriate place.
But it is said that the high walls of the Ma residence, although elegant furnishings, magnificent, rustic sandalwood door frames and windows are embedded in black marble as a decorative edge, the hall is elegantly hung “poetry and books, filial piety and brotherly love for the sake of this” and other inscriptions, everywhere shows the Ma family’s rich and powerful illustrious family. But because of the recent often inexplicable deaths, so that the horse house in the luxury of the rich and noble atmosphere, but also added a few points of eerie atmosphere, some of the timid maids and servants at home, to the light of the hour, it is easy not to dare to casually walk in the yard, they feel that the yard seepage.
Mr. Hu and proposed to the Ma House up and down people one by one, so Ma Liuhe sent word to the Ma Master’s command, the whole family who do not dare to slow down, according to the order of seniority stood in two compartments, respectfully meet with Mr. Hu. The local customs of the countryside, including several aunts and grandmothers, as long as it is a woman, no matter when it is only “according to the downward bright pillar, stand broken square brick” of the part, weekdays is not easy to show their faces, this time to let them participate in the rare, so the female family members regardless of the generation are standing at the end of the family.
Mr. Hu walked around three times, one by one have seen the face, and asked a few people’s birthdate, but also did not find which hides a “ferocious” generation, to this Mr. Hu can not help but forehead sweating, I do not know what the horse family is hit by the evil, auspicious house and land, family members and rich and powerful image, why the home repeatedly people die of violent illness?
