Chapter 12 Another piece of bronze
I immediately said to the old man: "Don't be joking, old sir."
The old man ignored me and took the towel off Shan Jun's face. Suddenly, an extremely weird and sinister face appeared in front of me again, and his eyes turned to me. I quickly turned my head away.
The old man covered me with the towel again and said, "Don't be afraid. I just wanted him to take a look at you." Then he handed something to me and said, "I found it in his hand. You may have taken it out of that hole."
of."
I took it and lowered my head to see that what the old man handed me was a piece of bronze. The piece of bronze was very small, but it looked very familiar to me.
The old man patted my shoulder three times on the left and right and said to me: "Go out and take a look!"
I lowered my head and walked out. The young master asked me what I was doing. I couldn’t tell myself. I went to a deserted corner and took out the bronze piece Wang Quansheng gave me from my bag. I put the two pieces together and I was stunned.
They are very similar, both in terms of pattern color and degree of rust. They are definitely peeled off from the same thing.
The old man said that this thing was found in Shan Jun's hands. This should be what he brought from the cave. If that's the case -
I suddenly felt weak in my legs and realized the connection between the two of them.
It turns out that the hole where Wang Quansheng fished out the bronzes is the hole we saw at the bottom of the lake today! The bronzes Wang Quansheng fished out should have come from that hole.
I had a premonition in my heart but I couldn't grasp anything. I always felt like I knew something but I couldn't describe what I knew. The feeling was as uncomfortable as an ant crawling through my heart.
Wang Quansheng fished out the things in the cave and died. Shan Jun also died after entering the cave. Is there any magic power in this cave? Will it cause the death of everyone who has a relationship with him? This is too absurd.
I thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason. I always felt that there was a link missing among these things.
By this time, the people at the entrance of the ancestral hall had dispersed. Only the old man was sitting on a bench and looking at me gloomily. I felt like he had something to say to me, but he never spoke.
The young master was looking for me everywhere and said, "The tractor is here, let's go back to town. We still have our own things to deal with."
I nodded and got on the tractor all the way back to Donghua Town overnight. In the car, I felt exhausted and wanted to sleep, but when I closed my eyes, Shan Jun's face showed that I really couldn't sleep.
When I returned to the guest house, it was still the same. There were no sleeping pills in the town. I thought that I no longer wanted to collect the things, nor did I want to send the five thousand yuan. I just wanted to go home and have a good sleep and forget all this. However, the young master seemed not to be affected at all.
After going back and taking a cold shower, I relaxed a little and wanted to sleep as much as I could. But before I could lie down, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
The young master must have fallen asleep, and then he turned over his head and asked curiously: "Who is it?"
A voice came from outside the door: "It's us."
When I heard that it was the two drug dealers who came with us, I was surprised. I thought, why did they come to us in the middle of the night to take back the herbal medicine?
The young master opened the door and let the two of them in and asked, "What do you think, grandfathers? We are night owls who are studying in the middle of the night. We have been working hard all day and are ready to go to bed."
The two drug dealers walked to our desk and said with a smile: "What do you think you are saying? Are you frustrated?"
I smiled bitterly: "Have you heard? Oh, don't mention it. I can't sleep if I mention it."
One of the drug dealers said: "This news spread very quickly. We heard about it just after we came back. You are really unlucky to encounter the 'Seven Laughing Corpses' and will be unlucky for three years. You will be very depressed."
They must have listened to what Lao Cai said. I think Lao Cai will never be able to bear secrets. You should be careful what you say in the future so that he doesn't hear you.
A drug dealer asked us about the details of what happened today. The young master was also a man who couldn't control his mouth, so he briefly told him, which made several people frown.
I was very sleepy and saw that they were hesitant to speak. They didn't seem to be here to chat with us. They seemed to have something to hide. I didn't want to talk to them more, so I asked them what they wanted to do to come to us in the middle of the night.
The two looked at each other as if they didn't know how to answer. After a long silence, one of them said: "That's right, we have something to do and would like to ask you two to come and help."
I felt even more strange. The young master asked: "What else can we help you with? Our industry is different! We don't know that taking herbal medicine can kill people. It will be interesting when the epilepsy of sheep turns into epilepsy of cows."
.”
One of the drug dealers laughed dryly and took something out of his bag and showed it to me. When I saw it was a bronze mirror, I immediately let out an oops. I thought no way.
The young master didn't know yet and said, "Hey, you guys also go collect the things. Come on, let me see what they are."
I patted him to stop talking nonsense and immediately said to them: "Are you... southern climbers?"
One of the drug dealers nodded and said softly: "Good knowledge."
Bronze mirrors are the standard equipment of Nanpaizi. Shanxi Nanpaizi has a craft that is very special and requires courage. That is to say, when opening a coffin, especially when you are sure that there is a female corpse in the coffin, you must face the coffin with your back to the coffin and enter the coffin with your backhand. You cannot look directly into the coffin.
If you want to see the body of the tomb, you must look through a bronze mirror. If you can see the contents of the coffin, it means that the soul of the owner of the ancient tomb has flown away. If you see darkness in the mirror, it means that there is something going on behind here. At this time, you
You have to prostrate yourself, get up, and leave immediately. You can't look back. If you look back, you're doomed.
This is mainly because Nanlizi believes that there is a magic power in the eyes of living people that can resurrect the dead. I don’t know when this tradition was passed down. Until now, Nanlizi still follows it and dare not violate it even half a time.
When I saw a few drug dealers, I felt very strange. The temperament of these two people was very strange. Their appearance was a bit silly, and they smelled of earth. Their skin didn't look like farmers. They were wearing shabby clothes and very...
Generous. But I really didn’t expect that these two people would be Southern climbers.
But Nan Weizi was very cautious and would never reveal his identity. These two people came to my room in the middle of the night and revealed their identities. Did they want to surrender and later want to wash their hands of antiques and not rob tombs?
I feel a little strange that these two people may have something unusual to do.
But at this time, I really wanted to sleep and had no interest in it, so I put my whole body on guard and asked: "Then you really praise me. Are you... asking us for help? Do you want us to rob tombs?"
The drug dealer hurriedly shook his head: "You can't say that." He lit up a cigarette. "Actually, we have already broken the rules. We originally planned to beat him to death without exposing his identity and not involving outsiders, but now we really have no time.
We did this as a last resort.”
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"It's a long story. Do you remember the hole you found today?" a drug dealer asked.
I nodded, probably forgetting him and said: "When we took a boat south and passed this section of the Yellow River six months ago, a senior old man of ours saw the mountain range on the edge of the Yellow River. At that time, he took a look and thought it looked very familiar.
Where have I seen it before?”
This feeling was very strong, but the old man could not remember it. It was not until they arrived at the destination that the old man suddenly exclaimed that the series of hills on the shore of Donghua Mountain turned out to be exactly the same as the direction of Kunlun Mountain.
The old man immediately realized that something was wrong. Kunlun Mountain is the auspicious place for dragon veins in the world. If it is naturally formed in the same direction as Kunlun Mountain, the probability is almost impossible. Now that this situation has occurred, he concluded that this place must have been repaired by people some time ago.
After over-cultivation, it became what it looked like on Kunlun.
The mountains on one side are very short and have no power at all. They feel that this kind of thing is meaningless. If they build this short Kunlun, it will create a "trapped" situation.
But the old man had a unique vision and said he was wrong. Although the mountain looks short, have you seen the part below the Yellow River? If the Yellow River stops flowing, the mountain will rise immediately. This is a kind of hidden head Feng Shui, which is very clever.
But this fake Kunlun dragon vein is not used to bury people. This Feng Shui pattern has only one use: to suppress the river. In other words, I don’t know when and how many years ago, a person used the power of moving mountains to build the surrounding mountains into a line.
Kunlun Xiaolong is used to control the water here to prevent the Yellow River from flooding.
The old man asserted that the treasure of Zhenhe must be sunk in the treasure eye of the dragon vein, which may be worth a lot of money.
In order to verify this assertion, several people took a boat to the north and passed this section. They let the boat float around for a long time. The old man used the number of plum blossoms to calculate the location of the treasure cave.
Because of the Yellow River, several calculations failed until the last time when they put down the Luoyang shovel and inserted it into the Yellow River, they only went two meters down and discovered something in the mud.
When he pulled it up and saw that it was willow wood chips, the old man said that there was a river-control tomb under the water.
The Zhenhe Tomb is a special kind of tomb. The things buried in the tombs found in various places are very weird, but they are definitely not human. Sometimes it may be a big fish, sometimes it is a human-shaped iron block. In each dynasty, there is the earliest Zhenhe Tomb.
In the early Warring States period, no one knew who built these tombs and what they were used for. They were very mysterious. Anyone who studies Feng Shui would know that there would be no gold or silver in the tombs, but there might be rare artifacts.
We took more than a dozen glances in succession to determine the approximate direction and decided to wait until the Yellow River dries up to come.
The old man blended into the local village and waited for the opportunity, while the two young men went out to do their own things.
Some time ago, I received a telegram saying that the Yellow River was dry, so they rushed here and happened to be on the same train with us.
By this time I already knew and probably my interest was piqued again, so I asked: "Are you saying that the hole we found is the entrance to the Zhenhe Tomb you mentioned?"
They said: "Yes, that's right. We have actually gone there to see it many times, but the water is still too deep, so we are still waiting. We didn't expect that you would also go there and discover the hole at the bottom of the lake. In the end, such a big thing happened all of a sudden."
This matter will spread soon. If we don't take action as soon as possible, we will have no chance. That's why I came to you."
I immediately asked: "Then do you know what happened to this dead man? What is in the Zhenhe Tomb?"
A drug dealer laughed and said: "I don't know that we haven't gone in yet. And let me tell you, we Nanlizi have a saying that anything can happen in an ancient tomb, and a person can live or die. It's not unusual for us."
I looked at these two people who claimed to be Nanlizi and felt very suspicious and asked: "Then why are you asking me to help? I can't help you."
