Chapter 58: Trapped in the Sky

I stood on the ridge of the mountain, looked at the Qi veins of the mountains and rivers that traveled and undulated, took down the location of the possible ancient tombs with a note, marked the distance bearing, and then turned around to look at Fatty and Dajinya on the other side.

The two of them were surrounding the Fishbone Temple looking for a robber hole, I put my finger in my mouth and whistled loudly at Fatty and Dajinya.

Fatty and the two heard the sound, looked up and shrugged their shoulders at me, signaling that they hadn’t found the entrance to the cave yet, and then lowered their heads to continue searching, turning the Fishbone Temple inside and out over and over again.

Up the mountain is easy, down the mountain is difficult, I climbed up the place to look, too steep, it is difficult to go down by the original way, around a, see the left hand not far from the hillside, by the erosion of wind and rain, the soil slope spoiled a large piece, from there down, it will be easier.

So follow the ridge to the left to walk a section, stepping on the collapsed soil slowly down, this section of the slope is still very difficult to stand on, a step on the slippery, I see that there is a slightly flat place near me can land, then jumped over.

I did not expect to stand after, just out of no two steps, feet suddenly sink, the lower half of shen instantly fell down, I secretly bad, this is stepping on the earth shells.

Listen to the people in the nearby village said that the snake slope is full of this kind of cave, I thought that the edge of the area is still safe, I can not think of careless, this time my waist has been trapped in the hole in the earth, I understand that this time, we must not struggle, the geological structure of this place and the desert of quicksand is very similar, the difference is that the sand is less, more fine soil, the more struggle and hard work, want to climb out of their own, the more they are trapped fast, can only wait for the rescue, the more they are trapped, the more they are trapped, they can only wait for the rescue. In this case, you can only wait for rescue, if you are alone, you have to wait for death.

I sunk into the earth shell after a large section, try to keep their own bodies do not have to move, even the atmosphere does not feel gasp, lest the slightest movement will be sunk into a section, if one over the chest, it would be a big problem.

I gently hold on with both hands, to maintain an even body force, and so on for more than ten seconds, see no longer continue to fall down, then free a hand from the neck to take off the whistle, put on the side of the mouth ready to whistle to greet the fat man over to help.

But blowing the whistle to chest and abdomen force, I am now in a delicate balance of power, the body does not dare to move a little, otherwise this piece of earth slope may collapse at any time, buried me alive into the inside, of course, not necessarily fall down will certainly be buried alive, the following may be a large cavern, the more unlucky is to fall into the half, on the sky, the bottom of not see the ground, suffocate alive, that taste can be really difficult.

This idea in my head a turn, I still decided to blow the whistle, otherwise wait for the fat man they both remembered me, his mother’s cucumber vegetables are cool, I hope that they hear quickly come to the aid, otherwise my old Hu this time really want to return to the position, the big wind and big waves have not experienced, really do not want to just die in this earth slope.

I blew the whistle, the chest and abdomen slightly move, the body hulu a bit, and sink into a piece, just squeeze the chest, breathing more and more difficult, if buried alive a person, generally do not need to be buried to the top of the head, the soil over the chest on the suffocation of death.

I am now in this situation, two hands stretched out, obviously suffocated, but do not feel struggling, this moment is the test of a person’s endurance, I try to keep myself calm, can not be suffocated because of the chest suffocated almost suffocated, attempt to use the arm to support the climb out, that do die faster.

For my current situation, a second is longer than a year, fuck his grandmother, dead fat people why not hurry over, if they did not hear the whistle, then I will be accounted for here.

Just as I hold my breath, thinking wildly, see the fat man and big gold teeth two people, slowly and leisurely, talking and laughing from the bottom of the skidding up.

Once they saw my appearance, they were shocked, threw open their legs and ran over, the fat man ran while unlocking the rope locks carried on his body, he also carried bamboo baskets, inside the two large white geese, by the fat man’s sudden acceleration of the fear of loud screaming.

Fatty and Dajinya were afraid that there were still earth shells nearby, they didn’t dare to get too close, and stood still a dozen paces away, throwing the rope over, I finally grasped the straw that saved my life, and pulled the rope over my hand with two clasps.

Both sides exerted their efforts together, and pulled me out of the earth shell, and coming up with my legs, I completely trampled down the whole piece of earth shell, revealing a large hole in the hillside, into which the broken earth kept falling.

I panted heavily, unscrewed the water bottle, filled a few mouths, poured the rest of the water on the head, wiped his hand on the face, looked back at the earth behind the hole, I can not say that this is the first time I turned back from the ghost gate, is really afraid, do not dare to think about it.

Fatty gave me a cigarette to pressure the shock, I was shocked, inhaled two mouthfuls of smoke, choking themselves straight cough, this experience is different from the past, before life and death in a flash, too late to be afraid, this time is the god of death step by step slowly approaching, there is no more than the world can torture people’s nerves.

My three souls and seven spirits, probably has flown two souls and six spirits, a full twenty minutes, my two souls and six spirits slowly come back.

Dajinya and Fatty saw my face brushing white, and did not dare to speak, after a long time to see my eyes no longer straighten, then asked me how I was?

I nodded, let the fat man bring white wine, drank a few mouthfuls of wine, which is considered a complete recovery.

The three of us went to look at the hole in the earth that I stepped on just now, Dajinya asked, “Will this be a robber’s hole?”

I said, “No, the edge of the robber hole is not this loose, this is the result of the erosion of the cave inside the mountain, the outside of the mountain is only an empty shell, some places are thin, some places are thick, it seems that the scale of the cave under this Dragon Ridge is really not small.”

I told them what I just saw on the ridge, there must be a big tomb in the mountain over there, and the straight line distance between the Fish Bone Temple and the Fish Bone Temple is about one kilometer or so.

If the Fishbone Temple has a robbing hole leading to that tomb, this distance as well as the orientation is completely reasonable, playing a robbing hole of one kilometer is not a difficult task for an expert, it just takes some more time.

Fatty asked, “This person is full of shit, since he can see the exact location of the tomb, how come he still traveled so far to make a hole?”

I said to Fatty, “This senior who built the Fishbone Temple is far superior to you in terms of phasing the ground, he naturally has his reasons, I presume that it is because he wants to enter the underground palace from below.”

Dajinya said, “Oh? Entering from the bottom? Could it be that because the surrounding of this tomb was built too strong and sturdy, there was no way to get underneath it, so he had to go up from underneath? I’ve heard that this trick is called the top palace.”

I said, “it should be so, the Tang dynasty are in the mountains to build mausoleum, and the Tang dynasty, the national strength of the country, the world, the mausoleum must be repaired extremely strong, the underground palace are piled up with boulders, cast iron reinforcement, it is very difficult to break the wall of the tomb to enter. However, the ancient tomb repair again how copper wall, is not a seamless egg, any mausoleum has a virtual position, from the point of view of feng shui, this is in order to hide the wind and gather gas, if the tomb does not have this virtual position, feng shui and then a good treasure point is not useful for half a point of use.”

Fatty asked, “That means leaving a back door?”

I said: “No, the shape stop gas party storage, in order to maintain the shape of the feng shui position and potential, so that the feng shui treasure fixed, mausoleum hall can not be secret, need to gas gathering and have melting, general mausoleum of the tunnel or the back of the hall is the melting of the gas is, that kind of place can not be sealed too solid, otherwise in the main unfavorable.”

There is another saying, large mausoleums, and palaces are almost the same, the final seal, in order to conserve the secrets of the palace, are to be the last to stay a group of craftsmen smothered in the inside, those experienced craftsmen, in the process of the project, will give themselves a way out, secretly repair a secret passage, this secret passage is often in the lower part of the palace.

However, this kind of craftsmen for their own secretly built escape secret passage, is completely no feng shui basis, how to hide how to repair, the mausoleum pattern of the impact is very big, but it can never be prohibited.

Therefore, when encountering this kind of big tomb with four walls that are unusually strong, the gold touchers will choose to do it from below after talking about the situation.

The three of us discussed a little, think it is worth spending effort into the Dragon Ridge Tomb on a trip, because the tomb is located in a very special location, the mountain situation has been no longer the old look, can find a tomb here, it must be the masters in the Golden Guard, he will adhere to the rules of the trade, the two do not take, such a large tomb, not to mention that he took away one or two treasures, even if he touched away a hundred and ten, the rest of us casually touch on the two kinds, also gained a lot. We will be able to gain a lot from the rest of the treasures, even if he takes away a hundred or ten of them.

Decided to start from the fishbone temple cave, this is more economical, first of all, the fishbone temple cave is only a few decades ago, there will not be too much change, even if there is a collapse in the middle of the place, we dug a short path around the line, and secondly, the Dragon Ridge on the earth shells of the trap, walking in the ridge, there is a certain degree of danger, I have just run into a time, almost suffocated in the inside, we should try to avoid the danger.

At the moment the plan has been finalized, then turn back to the fishbone temple, fat man and big gold teeth have been looking for half a day, has not been found to have any robberies, this temple is not built by the mountain not by the water, but also can’t talk about what pattern, from the appearance of the robberies on the location of the hole is extremely difficult to judge, the robberies on us is too important, I made all the inference, the premise of which is that the fishbone temple is a gold touching the colonel built.

I suddenly had a thought, greeted Fatty and Dajinya: “Let’s take a look at the altar where the clay statue of the Dragon King used to be placed, if there is a robber’s hole, it is very likely that it is hidden under the altar.”
