Chapter 1 White Paper Man

Tomb raiding is not a dinner invitation, not to do articles, not painting and embroidery, can not be so elegant, so calmly, courteously, so gentle, tomb raiding is a technology, a door to destroy the technology. Ancient aristocrats built graves, must be trying to find ways to prevent theft, so do everything possible, set up all kinds of organs in the tomb hidden weapons, message ambush, there are boulders, quicksand, poison arrows, poisonous insects, pits and so on countless. To the Ming Dynasty, by the influence of Western wonders, some tombs and even used the Western eight treasures to turn the heart of the mechanism, especially in the Qing Dynasty’s Imperial Tombs, can be described as thousands of years of anti-theft technology in one of the masterpieces, the great warlord Sun Tingying wanted to dig open the East Tombs with the treasure inside as military pay, starting a large number of troops, even digging and bombing with five or six days to get their hands on the degree of solidity can be imagined. The subject of grave robbers is to crack these organs by all means to enter the tomb to explore the treasure. However, in modern times, more difficult than how to dig open the tomb is to find the tomb, the ground has a sealing mound and monuments and other obvious buildings of the tomb has long been unearthed more or less, if you want to find those who have been hidden in the ground for a long time, and there is no any marking of the tomb on the ground, it will require a certain amount of technology and special tools, iron brazier, Luoyang shovels, bamboo nails, drilling dragons, probing yinjia claws, black folding and other tools have come into being, and some experts do not rely on tools, there are some tools that are not as strong as those that have been used in the past. There are some masters do not rely on tools, some by looking for clues in the ancient literature to find ancient tombs, there are a very small number of people who master the secret art, can be interpreted through the pulse of the mountains and rivers, with the feng shui skills to find a tomb, I belong to the last of this category, in my grave robbing career in all parts of the world, during which I experienced a lot of weird and bizarre deeds, if it is a piece of the table out of the viewer is enough to let the viewer shocked, the hearer staggered, after all, those dragons, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the dragon. After all, those dragons and tigers, uncovering the sky and pulling up the ground, pouring the sea over the river’s action, are extraordinary.

This kind of deeds shall be left from my grandfather a book of remnants of the “sixteen words of yin and yang feng shui secret art” to speak, this book of remnants, the second half of the book for some reason, was hard to tear away, leaving only the upper volume of the feng shui secret art chapter, the book said, most of the interpretation of the tomb of the feng shui pattern of such unique secret art ……

My grandfather’s name is Hu Guohua, Hu’s ancestors are ten miles and eight townships famous landlords, the most glorious period in the city to buy three hutongs connected to more than forty mansions, during which there have been a number of government officials and businessmen, donations to the former Qing dynasty’s grain platform, slot transport helpers.

Folk proverb: “rich but three generations.” This is very reasonable, even if the family has a mountain of gold and silver, but also can not hold the squandering of defeated grandchildren.

In the Republic of China, my grandfather’s generation began to decline, first divided the family, Hu Guohua also received a lot of family assets, enough to live a lifetime of clothing, food and clothing, but he refused to learn to do well, of course, this is also related to the social environment of the time, first addicted to gambling, and then smoked Fukushou cream (big cigarettes), the ten thousand family fortune lost all the money.

When Hu Guohua was young, he ate, drank, whored, gambled and smoked all kinds of drugs, and in the end, he was so poor that he didn’t even have a big son. If you are addicted to cigarettes, you will not be able to tolerate it, but who will let you smoke if you don’t have money? In the past, when there was money, the boss of the tobacco shop fellows see him are Hu long, Hu short, greeted with great care, but once you are penniless, they take you as a stinking beggar, even coaxed with the drive, driven by the less than.

People to be poor crazy, these concepts of shame and morality is not important, Hu Guohua thought of a way to go to his uncle to cheat some money. Hu Guohua’s uncle knew that he was a loser and a smoker, and usually refused to give him a penny, but this time Hu Guohua lied to his uncle and said he wanted to marry his wife, so that he could get some money together.

Uncle heard moved to tears, this ungrateful nephew is finally do something right, if you marry a virtuous daughter-in-law to control him, collect his heart, maybe in the future will be able to learn.

So give him twenty pieces of ocean, told him to marry a daughter-in-law to live a good life, do not dip into those Fukushou cream, a few days to have time, but also personally go to Hu Guohua’s home to see his nephew-in-law.

Hu Guohua ghost ideas, in order to cope with his uncle, he went home to the village to find a tie paper man paper horse craftsman, is burned to the dead kind of. This paper-tying master is very skillful, as long as you can say something, he can do it perfectly.

He gave Hu Guohua according to the requirements of a paper woman framed in white paper, and watercolor to the paper man painted eyebrows, nose, clothes and hair, in the distance, hey, really like a living person.

Hu Guohua carried the paper man to the home, placed on the kang in the house, with a quilt to cover the paper man, the heart of the good, and so a few days after the uncle came, I pushed my daughter-in-law is sick, lying in bed can not see the guests, so that he can look at a glance from afar on the line. Thought of complacency, can not help but hum a little song, slipped into the city to smoke a big cigarette to go.

A few days later, uncle came to the door, bought some flowers and cloth snacks and so on to see the nephew daughter-in-law, Hu Guohua in accordance with the pre-thought words to shirk, said the daughter-in-law is not feeling well, can not see the guests, so that uncle at the door to open the curtains to look at the curtains put down.

The uncle was reluctant. Oh, is that how you deal with your own mother’s uncle? No, we must meet our new daughter-in-law today. If she gets sick, I will pay for her to see a doctor.

Hu Guohua stopped to let see, the more he stopped the more seem to have problems, uncle more suspicious, the two argued. At this time, the inner room curtains opened, out of a woman, looking white and clean, big face, big buttocks small feet, Hu Guohua heart thumped, aigoo, this is not I find people paste the paper man? How did it come to life?

Woman to the uncle gave a salute that recently the body is not good, just did not come out to meet uncle, rude place please forgive, now suddenly feel well again, today to stay at home to eat a meal uncle, finished turning to go in to cook.

Hu Guohua’s uncle looked happy, this nephew’s daughter-in-law is more virtuous, and born with a good husband’s good looks, my dead sister know, see his son married such a good daughter-in-law also have to be happy ah. The uncle was happy and gave Hu Guohua ten dollars.

Hu Guohua stayed on the spot, the heart panicked, do not know whether to be happy or to be afraid, time passes very quickly, in a flash to the evening, the white paper people do a table meal, uncle happy mouth can not close, but Hu Guohua but not interested in eating and drinking, he looked at the woman sitting across from him, he felt the heart and ate a fly like nausea. Her face was very white, no blood at all, the redness on her face was smeared with rouge.

Uncle old eyes, did not feel that the woman what is wrong, seven or eight cups of old wine on the belly drunk, Hu Guohua borrowed a donkey cart, send him home.

Back on the road, the more I think the more afraid, simply do not go home, go to the city of flowers and willows in the alley for the night, even smoking with whoring uncle just gave the ten ocean all make all.

Finally, because there is no money to pay the bill was kicked out, there is nowhere to go, can only head home. To the home to see the house black light, the white paper man lying motionless in their own bed, covered with a quilt, before as if everything had never happened.

Hu Guohua thought to keep her night and then become a living person how to do, how about I burned a fire it clean. Carry the white paper man to the yard, take out the fire folders, want to burn the paper man, this time the paper man suddenly opened his mouth to speak: “You’re a dead heartless, I’m so kind to help you, but want to burn me!”

Hu Guohua was startled, in the middle of the night, only to hear the white paper paste woman continued to say: “I am to see you poor, although you eat, drink, whore and gamble, but the heart is not bad, I want to marry you, are you willing to?”

Hu Guohua desperately shook his head and asked the paper man whether you are a demon or a ghost. The white paper man said I am of course a ghost, just temporarily attached to this paper man, but you poor stick don’t mind me, I was very rich in life, buried gold and silver jewelry is enough for you to smoke ten lifetimes of cigarettes, don’t you hear that the rich ghosts are as strong as the poor people a hundred times stronger life?

The mention of money Hu Guohua is a little heart, because recently it is too poor, even the clothes have been pawned, but he does not want to have a life to take money without life to spend money, he once heard the old people talk about female ghosts hooked Hanzi thing, one after another to the man’s yang energy sucked out, those who are haunted by ghosts of the men, and finally are only left with a skeleton of a dry skin wrapped. So he said to the paper man, “Even if you are sincerely good to me, I can’t marry you, after all, we are people and ghosts, yin and yang are separated, this is against the way of heaven.”

The white paper man said that since you are so hard-hearted, I won’t force you, but sooner or later in the future there will be the day you regret. You remember, if your days really to the poor can’t go on, you to thirteen miles to the deserted cemetery to look for me, in the middle of the cemetery there is a tombstone in the middle of the tombstone, the coffin inside is where my body, the coffin has to be gold, silver and jewels, as long as you dare to come, those belongings will be taken at will to spend.

Said, the white paper man on the motionless, Hu Guohua courage, lit a fire will be white paper man burned to ashes.

Later, there are a few times poor really can not help it, want to go to the thirteen mile store digging graves, but in the end still hold back, borrowing and scraping together the days of mixing down. Two years later, he was desperate and finally went to the cemetery, but that’s a story for the future, let’s not talk about it.
