The fiery red gourd is carved from stone, more than one meter high, smooth and bright red like fire. If it had been erected here two thousand years ago, then with the passage of these two thousand years, the vast sea might have turned into a field of mulberry.

However, this stone gourd looks like it has just been completed.

When we first saw this gourd, we were all awestruck. Its color was so bright, which was really strange. When we pushed aside the clumps of dancing grass and walked closer, we realized that it was actually made of red marble.

As a raw material, the flaming red color naturally occurs in the jadeite. The earliest red dye was made by adding jadeite powder.

The surface of this stone-carved gourd was also coated with a layer of insect-repellent ingredients, so that weeds and vines avoided it when they grew nearby. It has been left alone for so many years, placed in this valley.

In an inconspicuous corner.

I looked at the red stone gourd and couldn't help but wonder: Why is it not a statue of a toad but a gourd? If we want to fully release the shape and potential of this water dragon vein Feng Shui treasure, an altar or an ancestral hall should be built here.

Architecture is the truth.

Because it is located at the edge of a valley, there are countless vines hanging down from the rugged and steep mountain walls. They are all covered by vines within three steps. The fat man was impatient and took a few steps forward. He used an engineer shovel to push aside the vines blocking the way.

After discovering something, he turned around and shouted to us: Come over here and take a look, there really are toads here.

Wen Sheng and I stepped forward and saw that under the cover of countless wisteria plants, facing the red stone gourd, there was a temple dedicated to the mountain god built on the mountain. Although I couldn't see the terrain clearly, it should have been built on the mountain.

On the central axis of the mountain peak behind, a wedge-shaped wooden frame structure is used, which is divided into front and rear entrances. The facade of the temple in front is entangled countless times with vines, and some tiles have collapsed.

Although the green tiles and carved beams on the top are all dilapidated, because this is the eye of the water dragon vein, which can hide the wind and gather energy, the general framework is still preserved. The several layers of broken insects on the mountain wall.

Daodu lost its function due to changes in water and soil, and the wood of all the temples was rotten. It is a miracle that they still survived under the pressure of a large number of plants.

This simple building dedicated to the mountain god has spent endless years quietly in the corner of this lonely valley. This all depends on the special wood and frame technology, as well as the special environment of the valley with very little rainfall.

I just don’t know what the red stone gourd placed in front of the temple is for. It may be related to the form of the mountain god. The ancients believed that the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth have gods in charge, and the same is true for every mountain and river.

.However, according to different customs, geographical environment and cultural background, the appearance of the temple is also different.

We looked up and saw that although the temple was covered by layers of vines, it was not in danger of collapse. There were many birds nearby that had made their nests on the temple floor, indicating that the air quality here was fine and there was no need to worry about the poisonous

It was a mountain miasma. So we took off our gas masks and pushed aside the vines in front of the door. The damaged door fell down as soon as we pushed it.

I stepped in and saw that the main hall was already covered with various plants. The temple was not large in size. The clay statue on the altar had fallen over. It was a black-faced god with an expressionless face and slightly closed eyes.

The body is also made of black robe made of clay. Although it was pushed by the wisteria and fell from the throne to the corner, it still gave people a cold and majestic feeling.

Next to the clay statue of the mountain god are two clay mountain ghosts, both with green faces and fangs, like a yaksha; the one on the left is holding a flaming gourd, and the one on the right is holding a toad in both hands.

Only then did I realize that, yes, it turned out that the toad and the gourd belonged to the mountain god. I just didn’t know what the mountain god wanted to do with these two things.

The fat man said: They probably put wine in gourds, and ate toads as a side dish when drinking. Didn’t the grandson of Big Gold Tooth just like this? But what he ate was frog legs.

I saw that this mountain temple was desolate and desolate and overgrown with weeds. It was really touching. I couldn’t help but think of the days when the fat man and I were so poor that we sold watches. I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, so I said to the fat man and the mountain god: The mountain god is a blessing.

The temple was built and should be used to offer incense, but now it seems to be in such a deserted state. It is really a period of ups and downs. Even the mountain god has a difficult time, let alone the common people. It is true that Yin and Yang are the same, success or failure.

Say to me: You are saying all these things, are you trying to make some evil plans? Do you still want to pay homage?

I shook my head and said: There is no need to worship, we might as well push the fallen statue back to its original position, offer an American cigarette to the mountain god, and ask him to bless our trip smoothly and not make any mistakes; in the future

If you can make some progress, you can reshape the golden body and add incense.

The fat man said beside him: I don’t think it’s any use to believe in anything or ask for anything. I just don’t believe in heaven and only believe in my own arms and legs. If the grandson of the mountain god is really efficacious, why can’t he even protect himself? In my opinion, let this

It's best for my grandson to lie down. As the saying goes, dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings. It's better to stand up than to go upside down. Take a walk and take a look at the back.

Seeing that no one was willing to help, I had to give up and follow them into the back hall. Now I saw that the back hall had been built inside the peak on the left side of the Worm Valley, and was narrower than the front hall. In the middle was a green stone screen with the mountain god on it.

The figure of the portrait is similar to the clay sculpture in the main hall, but it is relatively blurry, and the appearance cannot be clearly seen. There are no mountain ghosts on both sides. This stone screen does not seem to be artificially carved, but naturally formed.

Texture.

Turning around the emerald stone screen, at the very end of the temple, there are nine stone statues of huge toads arranged horizontally. As soon as I saw it, my eyes lit up, and it really corresponded to the number of nine twists and turns. This kind of mechanism is very important in understanding the Yi Long Jing.

It is very obvious to people. If you do not understand the essence of Feng Shui secrets and only know the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes, you will probably deal with it as the number of the Nine Palaces, and you will never find the secret passage in your life.

I took a closer look and found that the mouths of the nine stone toads were open and closed, and the toad heads were oriented in different directions. The mouths of these stone toads can all move, and there are stone grooves to rotate their bodies. Each of the nine toads can rotate in four directions.

, plus the opening and closing of the toad mouth, it would take a lot of brainpower to calculate how many different arrangements there are. Moreover, these stone mechanisms should be pushed one by one from left to right. If they are moved randomly, the alignment will not be correct three times in a row.

position, the machine will be completely stuck.

So I asked the fat man to help me. I opened and closed the toad's mouth according to the number of nine loops from left to right, and then used the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique scroll and the conversion formula in the Yi Long Jing to remove the stone toads one by one.

are arranged according to the corresponding orientation.

After doing this series of things, there was no reaction in the inner hall. It is said that this nine-winding circle toward the mountain should be unmistakable, why is there no secret door opened?

Our minds turned quickly and asked us to look outside the temple. We hurriedly turned around and searched outside, and finally found the outside of the mountain temple. We saw that the gourd in front of the temple had split into two halves at some point, and a stone door was exposed underneath.

This stone door was built into the shape of a toad's mouth. It is flat and short. It is also made of fiery red cloud stone. It is engraved with some simple patterns. There are two large copper rings on the left and right, which can be pulled upward.

It turns out that this mechanism is exquisitely designed. Even if someone knows that the nine toads are the mechanism that opens the stone door, as long as they don't know how to crack it, they can't find the entrance to the outside even if they blow it up with a large amount of explosives.

Asked: This stone gate is so strangely built, it looks like a toad's mouth. I wonder what is inside. Is there really a tunnel leading to the main tomb?

I said to her: The mark on the mausoleum is correct. This should be an underground passage, and it can definitely lead to the eye star position closest to the water dragon halo. It seems that the only way to go to Minglou to worship is to pass through here. As for why

Using a toad as a mark, I can't figure it out.

Toads have many symbolic forms in ancient China. There is a New Year painting that depicts a fat child holding a fishing rod, hanging a gold thread, and playing with a three-legged toad. It is called Liu Haier playing with the golden toad; as the saying goes, the three-legged toad

It’s hard to find, it’s derived from this allusion. But there are also some places that specifically highlight the toxicity of toads in traditional folk customs. However, the two stone toad statues opposite us now have neither three legs nor warts on their bodies.

Lepi may be just the plaything of the mountain god.

The fat man patted the Chicago typewriter in his hand and said: "At worst, if we encounter a big toad down there, we have a gun like this, and we are afraid that it will fail. Even if the toad's ancestor comes, he can beat it into a honeycomb."

Since we have the powerful firepower of American submachine guns, we are indeed like an extra big one. I still remind Fatty: King Xian’s tomb is very tightly arranged. Although this stone gate is extremely concealed, there is no guarantee that there are any powerful mechanisms inside. We

After going down, there is no need to be afraid if soldiers come to block you and water comes to cover you.

After that, the three of them started working together and used a rope to pass through the copper ring on one side of the stone door to lift it up hard. With a sound, the stone door opened, revealing a narrow passage. I aimed the flare gun at the depth and fired a flare, which cut through the ground.

The darkness. The pale light shone in the depths of the cave. We saw that there were countless huge bones and ivory there. It was a huge burial trench. Book Alliance
