Chapter 31: The Walking Stem

In my opinion, Sun Jiuye's behavior has never been "normal". Everyone in the world is burdened by the word "fame and fortune". For some empty fame, he even made lies by making mistakes. He even cheated his own old friend Professor Chen. He was paranoid and was like a thief. In the middle of the night, he quietly climbed through the window and sneaked into the museum to conduct so-called "archaeological research". Can the behavior of a person like him be described as "normal"?

But Shirley Yang didn't seem to be saying this. She didn't want to arouse Professor Sun's idea, but just lowered her voice and told me: "When everyone was behind the coffin just now, I saw Professor Sun take out a fly from... from his own ear."

When I heard this, I almost fell head-on to the tomb wall. This guy is too unhygienic and hasn't taken his ears for many years? Or I had otitis media, pus and smelly in the ear canal, which would attract flies.

Shirley Yang seemed a little hesitant and did not continue talking. He just asked me to pay attention. I knew she must have discovered something abnormal about Master Sun Jiu, but she was afraid that Fatty and I would do blindly to Professor Sun. Before there was conclusive evidence, she was unwilling to make the matter clear.

I remember that Professor Sun does suffer from otitis media, and this person has been working all year round and has never been neglected. He cannot be fired from this operation because of his unhygienic reasons. Shirley Yang is not the kind of person who picks on details. Since he said this, Professor Sun's actions must be abnormal.

I suddenly remembered something, and suddenly burst into tears in my heart. I turned to ask Shirley Yang: "You just said what is in Master Sun Jiu's ear? The corpse-eating flies in the ancient tomb?" Shirley Yang shook his head gently at me. Just now, the fire in front of the tomb door was dim and dazed, so he dared not confirm easily.

She said this, I can only think that what appears as Professor Sun is the "Corpse Black Flies". In this "Wuyang King's Tomb" that was stolen by the "Guanshan Taibao", there are traces of "Corpse Black Flies" in the corpse, including those dead rats and snakes, as well as dead fish in the pool. Without exception, they all become food and spawning places for black flies. The "Corpse Black Flies" are no more than ordinary insects. It is only close to the corpse. Why does "Corpse Flies" appear on Professor Sun? Is he already dead? How can a dead corpse follow us all the way into the depths of the ancient tomb?

A series of questions flashed through my mind. According to the view of "corpse transformation" encountered by the tomb robbers of the tomb of the "Golden School Captain", death without transformation is called "crass", and death without transformation is called "action". Could it be that Master Sun Jiu is actually a "travel"? Thinking of this section, I felt a chill from the top of my head and straight through the heart of my feet, and subconsciously glanced at Professor Sun.

When I saw Professor Sun at the door of the tomb, he was staring at me. His expression was as usual. With a slightly neurotic look in his old-fashioned expression, he looked a little cynical. Intuitively, it made people feel unkind, which was no different from when I first met him in Gutian County, Shaanxi.

Then I felt relieved and thought to myself: "The tomb chamber is dark and wet, the dragon vein of the lively dragon has long been broken, there are dead rats and dead insects, and the corpse of the female in the lacquer coffin will also attract black flies. We have many contacts with those ancient corpses, and we will inevitably have some corpse energy on our bodies. How can we conclude that Sun Jiuye is a walking corpse based on just one black fly eating?"

I turned my heart a few times, not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. After all, there is one in Wanli. What if Sun Jiuye is really a "traveling zombie"? The "Black Donkey Hoof" is a "traveling zombie". It is said that "traveling zombie" is a corpse-turning monster. It is said that "traveling zombie" is a corpse-turning monster. Its words are the same as living people, but it is a devil who specializes in eating people's hearts and livers. My grandfather Hu Guohua encountered this kind of thing back then. I was afraid that everything would be the main thing. When I had this idea in my mind, I always felt that Professor Sun had something wrong, so I wanted to signal Shirley Yang and Fatty to help me put him down.

Shirley Yang said: "Don't act rashly. Maybe in the ancient tomb there are other flying insects. I just want to remind you to pay attention to the strangeness in the coffin gorge. I have a... not very good premonition. Our action may not go smoothly."

I nodded and decided to stay patient and not cause trouble before there is no conclusive evidence that Professor Sun is a corpse monster. I have the "black donkey hoof" of the "golden lieutenant" in my hand, but if it is dangerous, it should ensure that everyone escapes unstoppable. What am I afraid of him?

At this time, Professor Sun urged us in front of the tomb door: "How is it? Have you found anything? I guess the belly immortal may be an illusion. The corpse of a female burning object in the Nandou tomb chamber will appear. In ancient times, there was indeed a technique of using incense burning hypnosis. I am afraid that there may not be any Tang Dynasty zombies with belly immortals hidden in this tomb chamber."

I was stunned when I heard this, and felt that the strangeness of this matter was really hard to think about. I said to Professor Sun: "In the past, there was a kind of anti-theft method. It was to hide poison or mirage in the tomb chamber in the oil lamp, candle, clear water, wine, and elixir in the tomb chamber. It was about to break out, which could cause people to suffer from round light. Feng Shigu could actually hide the magic of the mountain-watching finger mystery in the tomb chamber? How did it do it?"

Professor Sun said: "The group of sorcerers who watched the mountain tomb robbers did not do what ordinary people thought. If I knew the secret, I would go directly to Dixian Village to get the Zhoutian Gua Diagram. Why are you still wandering around in this empty underground palace with you?"

Fatty and I saw that there was no clue in the Nandou tomb chamber at the lowest level, so we had to follow Sun Jiuye’s suggestion and go to the “Group of Dragons Spitting Water” at the highest point of the ancient tomb. The “Wuyang King’s Ancient Tomb” was superimposed, with many tomb chambers and twists and turns, but the pattern was in line with the ancient Feng Shui method, and it was arranged in the direction of the stars and doves. I took everyone through it, not worried about losing my path.

All the tomb passages had to pass through the tomb owner's "coffin hall". When they walked to the middle-level coffin hall, they saw that there was also chaos in the dark hall made of huge stones. Stone slaves and stone beasts fell all over the ground. There were still traces of gold beads being carved on the tomb wall. There was a huge stone coffin in the hall, and the coffin wall was embossed with towering and steep mountains and rivers. Several coffin life covers had been uncovered and turned aside, and all the corpses and tools inside were gone.

The fat man didn't give up and used a flashlight to pull the shovel inside: "This group of grandsons who are watching the mountains and fighting, have adopted the three-light policy to be more ruthless than the Japanese devils, and they don't even leave some scum to us..."

I said to Master Sun Jiu: "The entire tomb is almost empty. According to folk legends, the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu brought tens of thousands of people into the ancient tomb to avoid military disasters. After 10,000 people, they were like mountains and seas. Where did so many people hide?"

Professor Sun thought for a while before saying, "There are many Wuyan Mining Cave sites in the Coffin Gorge, and there are many caves in the mountains. I think Dixian Village is in a cave near the Wuyang King Underground Palace. If we want to find its location, we have to rely on the mysterious fu of watching the mountain. There should be no other way to think about it."

Professor Sun believes that the clue of "Survey on the Mountain" is very important. His friend Feng from the labor reform farm may not know the whole text of this fu, because along the way, from the nameless corpse at the entrance of the tunnel, to the "Shadowless Immortal Bridge" and "Survey on the Mountain", and finally the "Belly Immortal" in the tomb chamber. Each place contains a hint of "Survey on the Mountain" and the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu did this, which was definitely out of concern for leaking the secrets in the tomb. It can be said that he was "calculated and far-reaching".

The "Miscellaneous Fu of Viewing Mountain" found from the Belly Immortals should be the key among the keys, "Wuxia Coffin Mountain, Earth Immortals hiding; Dragons spitting water, ancient tomb remains; Wuhou hides soldiers, and the coffin building is fascinated; Shengmen are connected, one poem and one tail; 24,000, and there are seven in a hundred singles". This hint seems to be profound and profound, and it is impossible to figure it out.

We were completely incomprehensible about the words "Seeing the Mountains and Referring to the Secret Poetry", so we had to discuss and make conspiracy before approaching. And I was very suspicious. If Mr. Sun Jiu was not able to hear the content of it, and only one word was different, it would be a huge mistake. When the tombs were spitting water, would there be unexpected danger waiting for us?

At this time, the youngest girl provided us with some very valuable information. She said that the craftsmen in "Hongwo Mountain" specialize in "machine springs, pins, core turning gong wires, eight treasure dark shafts", and even design some wonderfully conceived urban defense fortifications. Therefore, people in this industry must at least have the ability to "Zhalou Ink Master" and also understand the principles of the generation, restraint and change of the "Five Elements and Eight Trigrams".

There have always been two ancestors in "Hongwo Mountain", one is the ancestor who sets the building, and the other is Zhuge Wuhou who designed the "wooden ox and flowing horse".

There is a secret book in the "bee box" that holds the bottom of the box, called "Wuhou's Soldiers Picture". You can create wooden man and wooden ox according to the picture. The principle of the mechanism is similar to the "wooden ox and flowing horse" that transports food and grass. However, they are all machine spring pins in the hidden soldiers. They are all mechanisms for killing people. They are arranged and buried according to the ancient formations. According to the changes in the terrain, you can build buildings to hide soldiers, or you can set up walls to hide soldiers. This is the most magical and inconsistent.

But because this set of mechanism maps is the "treasure of the mountains" in "Fengwo Mountain", it is not widely circulated and has been lost during the Song and Yuan dynasties. No one in the world will build a "Wuhou Cangjian Tower". When the young sister heard Sun Jiuye repeatedly chanting "Wuhou Cangjian" telling him about this matter. Perhaps the "Wuhou Cangjian" mentioned in "The Secret Fu of the Mountain" is that mysterious killing mechanism, because "The Secret Fu of the Mountain" also mentioned "Shengmen".

The old shopkeeper Li of "Fengwo Mountain" once told Yao Mei'er that there must be a "well" in the "Wuhou Cangbang Map" that the main pivotal of the organ is a "well". If its "pivotal well" is not removed, it will be killed by endless traps of organs. This "well" must be in the gate of life, but the well is divided into "light and dark". If it is a hidden well, it will be difficult to find. Moreover, according to different structural designs, only those who master the gate of the organs will know where the real "gate of life" is.

The last sentence of "Seeing the Mountains and Referring to the Mysterious Fu" "The last sentence of "The Life Gate is connected, one by one; 24,000, and there are seven in a hundred orders", probably refers to the direction of "hidden well". However, as the young sister knows and learns, she completely doesn't know what the saying "two, four,000, and there are seven in a hundred orders" is, and it is not the content of the "bee box formula". Even if the shopkeeper Li changed here, he would not be able to guess it.

I remember Chen Xiaozi, the leader of the robber in the Xiling Mountains, who once broke the Pingshan Municipal Government during the Republic of China. According to him, the "urban city" should belong to the "Mingjing" weapon. In the backfloor, there are often tomb robbers who died in the trap of the Tibetan soldiers building in the ancient tombs and royal tombs, but there should be very few people who have actually seen the real thing.

In the Ming Dynasty, the "Guanshan Taibao" specialized in stealing ancient tombs. If you were not sure, you would dig out such a mechanism of "Wuhou's hidden soldiers" and hid it in the "Wuyangwang Underground Palace" as a deadly barrier for the Dixian Village. It did not untie the hint of "the gates are connected, one head and one tail; 24,000, and there are seven in a hundred orders", and I am afraid that I will not be able to overcome this "gate".

Everyone looked at each other, looking at me, looking at you, they were helpless about it, and even the experts in "Hongwo Mountain" were in trouble, let alone us "Golden Captain". This journey is like a mountain, how could they come up with any good ideas for a while?

I am so angry that I have never encountered an ancient tomb hidden so deeply like the "Dixian Village". In my opinion, Feng Shigu, the leader of the "Guanshan Taibao", is simply a madman. If you use the thinking of a normal person, it is impossible to guess his intention. But there is another saying that Chairman Mao said, "If the heaven has feelings, the heaven will grow old, and the right path on earth is vicissitudes." If you don't encounter difficulties, you won't show any benefits. As long as there are rare treasures like "alches" in the ancient tomb of the Earth Immortal, it's not in vain that we have experienced many twists and turns. At this moment, we don't know how to arrange the military map of the Earth Immortal, it's a building? A city? or something else? But don't worry too much. The methods are all thought out by people, and the roads are all walked out by people. Go to the field for investigation first, and we may not be able to find a countermeasure.

Mr. Sun Jiu frowned and said, "That's what he said, the twists and turns in front of him are probably quite a bit, so he can't think too optimistic..." As he said that, he walked towards the upper floor of the coffin hall along the stone steps in the tomb passage.

I was worried that Professor Sun would leave the team too quickly, so I waved to the other three people and followed closely behind him. Water was accumulated under the stairs of the tomb. Walking on it, you could hear the sound of water splashing everywhere. There were dark springs passing through the ancient tombs everywhere. The vein of the tomb was indeed the water dragon. At this time, I felt a buzzing sound in my ears. It turned out that there were a few black flies circling around us.

I hurriedly waved my hand to drive away. As the beam of the tactical spotlight above my head swayed, I saw a black fly lying on the back of my neck. The fluorescent light on the body of the corpse-eating fly was like a faint ghost fire.

This time I saw clearly and would not be wrong again. I grabbed Professor Sun and said, "Wait, Master Jiu, why are there corpses and black flies on you? Are you dead or living?"

Professor Sun was stunned and then said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? It would be fine to put a hat on me before, but why did you say that I am dead now? I am not dead yet, and I am still angry with you if I die."

I said, "Okay, you are so confident. What do you think this is?" After that, he opened his palm and shook the "black donkey hoof" in his hand in front of him.

Master Sun Jiu's face suddenly changed. He stepped back like a snake and scorpion, leaned against the tomb wall behind him, pointed at me and said, "Hu Bayi, you bully people too much. What era is it now? Why are you using the black donkey's hoof? I don't allow you to insult my personality like this! If you take another step, I will fight your life with you!"

I used to know that Professor Sun was repeatedly beaten during the Cultural Revolution, wearing a high hat and a "jet-like" look. After the daytime criticism, he was locked in a cowshed at night. So he always had a disgust from the bones like Fatty and I who had been Red Guards, and he was easily stimulated. However, he did not expect Professor Sun to have such a fierce reaction, but instead was shocked by him.

At this time, Shirley Yang also came up to persuade me. I asked my heart with my heart. I was indeed a little apologized, but then I thought, I never saw any corpses in the coffin hall. Even if there was corpse energy in the empty coffin, it had been dissipated for hundreds of years. The appearance of "corpse-eating flies" around Professor Sun is definitely an abnormal sign. You should not leave the root of disaster for a moment. Master Sun Jiu is a "walking corpse" and you can tell if it is a "walking corpse".

Thinking of this, I grinned and said to Master Sun Jiu: "I misunderstood. I think you are worried. In order to keep your revolutionary optimism, I made a joke with you. How can I take it seriously? If you don't like this black donkey hoof, throw it away, and then..." As I said that, I raised my hand and voted "black donkey hoof" at Professor Sun.

I thought to myself that as long as Master Sun Jiu caught the "black donkey hoof", he would not be a "corpse demon". Unexpectedly, when Professor Sun saw the "black donkey hoof" thrown in front of him, he actually drifted aside. The "black donkey hoof" hit the tomb wall and fell down. He lifted his feet and kicked it into the groundwater at the bottom of the stone steps. Then he glared at me and scolded: "If you can help me find the Zhoutian Gua Diagram, I can eat the black donkey hoof in front of you, but I am not in the mood to mess with you now!"

I was stunned on the spot and secretly scolded the old guy for being so cunning. Not only did he not take the "black donkey hoof", but he also kicked him into the water. Could it be that "Master Sun Jiu" who led us into the ancient tomb is really a monster who turned into a "traveling zombie" after his death?

The experience of struggling on the brink of life and death over the years has forced me to become a "skeptic". I asked the fat man behind me to get me another "black donkey hoof". But the fat man said, "I brought it with me every time I went out, but it didn't work. Didn't you say lightweight? So I saw that you brought one, but I didn't bring it. Isn't this going to... want to leave some space in my bag, and install more... more lightweight equipment?"
