Chapter Thirty-Nine Death - Unexpectedly
Chapter 39 Death - Coming Unexpectedly
Finally, the Commander Feng wanted to knock Sun Xuewu out with a stick and ran away. Suddenly he remembered something, and instructed Sun Xuewu to do: "This Bashan Ape is a thing that was tamed in the mountains when our father was alive. He was psychic and could understand others. He was only a few years younger than me. He has been with me for many years. I have been looking for the ancient tomb of Dixian Village. Whether it is dead or alive, I will ask it to come back to send you a message. If something happens to an accident, you will be the only successor of the Feng family in Guanshan. You must try to enter the coffin gorge again in twelve years to see if Feng Shigu, who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, found the corpse immortal."
Sun Xuewu knew that life and death were separated, and was both sad and worried. He said in tears: "Brother, you have been in the military for half your life. You have learned a lot of knowledge. You have learned more about the skills passed down by our ancestors than me. I hate that I was mistaken for the past and became a useless nerd in this life. I am afraid that I will have no hope in this life."
Commander Feng sighed and patted his brother's shoulder and said, "This matter is difficult and difficult. It is indeed difficult for you, but if you don't do it, where are the other people in the Feng family in Guanshan?" He pondered for a moment and said, "If you feel weak in the future, you can find a way to find a lieutenant to help the lieutenant. I heard that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a specialist in shaking gold. Since the token of sealing talismans that Faqiu had destroyed during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there should be three treasures left in this world. I believe that the secret technique of finding mountains and dragons still has successors."
Commander Feng told his brothers that if there is no way out in the future, he would ask the "Golden Touching Captain" for help. As the saying goes, "Seventy-two abilities are king", and only the "secret technique of touching gold" can break the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb".
When Sun Xuewu heard this, he felt even more embarrassed. When he was a child, his father said that the "fighting" masters in this world who are really capable have had three branches since ancient times, "Faqiu, touching gold, moving mountains, and lifting mountains". The thieves in the "Changsheng Mountain" had disappeared long before liberation; the group of Taoists who "moving mountains and splitting weapons" seemed to have no successors, and they all disappeared for many years.
The "Golden-Touching School Captain" was the top scholar in the backfighting industry, and he must be very capable. However, during the Ming Dynasty, their "sealing token" was destroyed by the court. If we really trace the root of the source, this matter would still be the responsibility of our "Guanshan Feng Family". Although it has been several hundred years, I am afraid that even if we resist death, we cannot escape the relationship at that time.
The deeds of the "Da Ming Guanshan Taibao" were kept very confidential, and people outside never knew about it. The remaining "gold-touching lieutenants" should not know the old things. The style of touching gold and saving the world has been around since ancient times. As long as they are found to explain the reason, they will most likely be helped.
Sun Xuewu still felt powerless. Although it was said that there was a "gold-touching lieutenant" in the late Qing Dynasty. Because he hung three talismans by himself, he called that person "Zhang Sanlianzi". But what time is it now? During this period, "the sun and the moon are passing by, and the dynasty changes have taken place in the world. Who knows if there are any successors of the gold talisman?
Take a step back and say that even if Mr. Zhang San really passed on the "Gold Touching Talisman" and "Looking Dragon Skill" back then, it was just passed on to two or three people. The actions of the "Gold Touching Captain" were particularly hidden. There were a vast crowd in the world. Now who knows where the wanderings of the "Gold Touching Captain" belong to? I am alone, where can I find them?
Commander Feng saw that his brother was not very good, and he was afraid of wolves in front of others and was afraid of tigers in front of others. He knew that he could not take on important responsibilities, but he had no choice. The "Guanshan Feng Family" who was once prominent back then had lost his former atmosphere since the "Earth Immortal Feng Shigu" led his people into the mountains. Although science is still prosperous today, he still believed in the so-called "corpse immortal" mentioned in the teachings of his ancestors, and believed that "Feng Shigu" practiced demonic techniques in the mountains. He knew what he had achieved. If he really wanted to "enter the world to save people" in the future, he would definitely kill many innocent people.
Therefore, the leader Feng was determined to do so. The matters of the old Feng family had to be solved by his own people. In addition, if he stayed in the labor reform farm, he would just die. It would be better to escape back to "Wushan". If he died, he would die to his ancestral home, "Coffin Gorge". Fortunately, he broke into the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" and ended the "karma" created by the Feng family in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Moreover, Commander Feng knew that the "Jiu Di Jingling Armor" buried in the "Coffin Mountain" was only opened once every twelve years. After counting on his fingers, there was not much time left. He had to harden his heart and knock Sun Xuewu unconscious with a "pickaxe handle". This was to prevent Sun Xuewu from eating "Kangluoer" for him. Then he took advantage of the night to escape into the mountains and never came back.
Sun Xuewu was greatly stimulated in this matter. Following his brother's teachings, he became more taciturn from then on. He was afraid of losing his words and rarely contacted outsiders, because the matter was indeed as Chief Feng said. In that era, if someone had been poured out that his ancestors were "landlords, mines" and "tomb robbers, royalists", he would have to be skinned even if he did not die.
In addition, the nature of Sun Xuewu's work was extremely boring and monotonous, which gradually turned him into an introverted person, making everyone around him very opposed to him. Only Professor Chen Jiuren is still one of his friends, but even the "old friend" who is like Professor Chen, for him, it is definitely not a heart-wrenching friendship.
After the Cultural Revolution, although Sun Xuewu's problem was quite complicated and the organization had not yet reached a conclusion, his work was temporarily restored. He had never seen his brother and the "Bashan Ape" again. He was often concerned about this matter, and finally found an opportunity to enter the "Coffin Gorge" alone. He never returned to his ancestral home in his life, but the route and terrain here were passed down from generation to generation at home, and he knew that he was almost inseparable.
At that time, Qingxi Ancient Town had been abandoned. He met the "Bashan Ape" in the empty town and was taken into the "Coffin Gorge" and saw the body of his brother, Chief Feng.
Before his death, Commander Feng left a suicide note to Sun Xuewu, which detailed his experience after escaping from "Orang Gou":
When Commander Feng fled back to his ancestral home, the ancient town of Qingxi, was about to come to an end. The construction personnel at that time had already penetrated the main tunnel from the underground of the ancient town to the "Coffin Gorge", and dug a group of "stone men" from the ancient mine, and transported some of them to the construction command center in the town.
At that time, the construction workers did not have the concept of "cultural relics". They just felt that it was strange that such a hideous and ugly stone statue was buried in the mountains. They planned to report this situation to their superiors and ask for instructions on how to deal with it.
Commander Feng knew that something was wrong when he saw this situation. He quickly took the "Bashan Ape" to pretend to be a ghost in the town, which disturbed the attention of the construction workers. It happened that the "Qingxi Air Raid Shelter" was not in line with the standards. The superiors temporarily interrupted the civil defense project in this area. All the construction people were evacuated, leaving only an empty ancient town, and no one paid attention to the antiques near the "Coffin Gorge", which made him feel relieved.
Commander Feng spent half his life exploring in the gangs of swords and guns, and his courage and knowledge were far superior to ordinary people. He brought his only companion, "Bashan Ape" into the "Coffin Gorge", but found that he could not open the "Nine Palaces Chihu Lock". He had never learned all of his ancestral abilities. Only then did he realize the power of "Earth Immortal". He thought it was too simple before, and he was angry and had an old injury on his body. He had already lost his life. It was estimated that Sun Xuewu might still come to the mountain to find him in the future, so he left a lasting letter.
Before his death, Commander Feng suddenly remembered something. When he was in the Northeast, he had not yet had a quarrel with Yang Erdan's bandits. He heard that the Kwantung Army was going to find an antique in the mountains. This thing was a Feng Shui secret weapon, and it was buried wherever it was Mianlong's "treasure hole". However, what kind of weapon it was, I didn't hear clearly at that time, and I only seemed to hear that the secret weapon was removed from an ancient mirror, so I don't know anything else.
The ancient mirror can overcome evil and suppress corpses. It has been a tradition in China for thousands of years, so Feng Tuan told Sun Xuewu in his suicide note that with your ability, if you want to enter the ancient tomb to deal with the corpse immortal, you will have to go but never return. Not only do you have to find a way to unlock the "Nine Palaces Chihu Lock", but you also have to consider the "road map" hidden in the "Wuyang King Underground Palace". This picture and countless fake pictures are hidden in the coffin of Zhenshan. If you don't understand the tricks of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, you will never know which picture is true when you come to the front; if you are engaged in archaeological work, if you have the opportunity to get a few "ancient mirrors" that have passed down from generation to generation, and bring a few such things into the ancient tomb to meet the "Earth Immortal", you will have a few more chances of winning.
At the end of this suicide note, Chief Feng admitted that he was sorry for Sun Xuewu, his biological brother in this life, and repeatedly told him that even if he was crushed to pieces, he would do the things entrusted by his ancestors, otherwise he would not collect bones and bury them for his brother and father.
Sun Xuewu cried bitterly with the corpse in his arms, hid his brother's suicide note and relics in close contact. After returning, he continued to hide his identity. Among the relics, there were many "numbering techniques" passed down by Guanshan Feng family, including the trick of burning incense and round light with paper man armor and horses. However, it was invalid before seeing the murals of the Tang Dynasty demon tomb in the ancient tomb. I still didn't know whether this technique was true or false.
In addition, his ancestor Feng Shiqi participated in the construction of the Earth Immortal Tomb. He knew some internal situations and left some relevant records. However, when it was passed on to Sun Xuewu, it was broken. However, he still roughly knew some of the situations in the "Ancient Tomb of Wuyang King", where there were murals in the Tang Dynasty demon tombs, and in which tomb passage the map was hidden, and then he crawled into which labyrinth of mine cave, and could enter the Earth Immortal Tomb according to the map. These things finally had a contour in his mind.
But it is said that to solve the "Miscellaneous Fu of Viewing Mountains", we will find the "life gate" step by step from those obscure and difficult hints, and it is difficult to do it based on what he knows and learns. However, he is very thoughtful and has more perseverance and patience. He uses his work to study the "Ancient Hexagram of Zhoutian" day and night, so that he can solve those puzzles when entering the ancient tomb in the future, and look for the "Ancient Corpse-Suppressing Corps" and the "Golden-Touching Captain" who hangs the talismans everywhere, so that the old tent can be settled in his lifetime, so that the spirits of his father, brother and ancestors can rest in peace.
In this dark and cold temple, Mr. Sun Jiu was stunned by what he said. Even if I had 36,000 spindles in my mind, I couldn't guess the truth. Listening to his words, I had nothing to doubt anymore, because some of the details in it belonged to the "undersea eye" and were definitely not a lie that could be made up out of thin air. His words could completely convince me.
I asked Master Sun Jiu: "So you have been targeting the lieutenant of the gold-touching lieutenant for a long time? Can you tell me when it started?"
Mr. Sun Jiu said: "Since the first time I met in Shaanxi, you and Da Jinya asked me to see the mark on the back of my neck. When you pulled your collar open, I could see the gold touching talisman you hung at a glance."
I said "unfairly" in my mind. At that time, my "gold touching talisman" was still a fake gift given by Big Gold Teeth. Only the fat man touched a real talisman from the pile of mummies in the Longling Cave. Unexpectedly, the leader was unintentional and the viewer was intentional. It turned out that we had asked Master Sun Jiu to target us since then. He must have been holding on to bad plots for us for a long time, but I was always in the dark. Fortunately, I still thought that I was always grasping the latest development trend of class struggle. This time I was completely defeated, and I was sold and counting money for others.
Mr. Sun Jiu said: "At that time, I saw that you were not close to the big gold teeth, and there was not much difference from the second-hand dealers who were busy with things in Panjiayuan. I was unwilling to believe that you could understand the secret of gold-touching. But later I heard that you took Lao Chen's expedition team into the desert and found the Jingjue Ancient City, so I looked at you differently, but... I still wanted to try your skills, so when I met for the second time, I provided you with some clues about the tomb of King Xian of Yunnan."
When I heard this, I felt even more angry. I remembered the first time I heard Professor Sun say the three words "King of King Xian" in the coffin shop in the Shibeidian Coffin Store in Shaanxi. If I hadn't learned about "火" and "King of King Xian" from him, Shirley Yang and I wouldn't have made up our minds to go to "Zhelong Mountain" in Yunnan at that time. How scheming is Sun Jiuye? He is really worthy of being the descendant of the "Guanshan Taibao".
Master Sun Jiu continued: "I have lived too tired in my life. Since I have entered the Earth Immortal Tomb, I have nothing to hide. So I just told you to know. Later, I got the bronze dragon talisman one after another and found out the whereabouts of Guixu Ancient Mirror. So I told Lao Chen a big lie and asked you to go to the South China Sea to salvage Qingtou..."
Master Sun Jiu told us that after he got the bronze ancient mirror, he had the idea of going to the "Wushan Coffin Gorge", but it was not easy to invite the "Golden-Touching Captain" to accompany him. He was most worried about his hidden identity and defrauding the ancient mirror. Once it was exposed, he would tell him the "Full Chapter of the Secret of the Mountain Viewing Poems". Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, who were like idle people in society, both "Golden-Touching Captains" were both guys who liked "speculative" when they saw that they were all good at speaking. Most of them did not know any professional ethics, and they would definitely throw themselves away on the spot and go straight to the ancient tomb of Dixian Village to make a fortune.
So Mr. Sun Jiu racked his brains to find a way. He learned from Professor Chen that the group of people are now looking for the "golden elixir" condensed in the ancient corpse. If the classics say that the scientific name is the "alian tripod" of the dead, he did not stop and made a "hard meat plan" and compiled a "work notes". In the notes, they revealed the "alian tripod" hidden in the "dixian Village Ancient Tomb" and recorded the process of concealing the "Guixu Ancient Mirror" in it. However, they emphasized that the "gua mirror" can divine the location of the ancient tomb. In this way, when they go to the "Coffin Gorge" in Wushan, they have to carry this mirror.
Then Sun Jiuye followed him all the way, pretending to lose his notebook in the "Tianjin Natural Museum". But after turning around, he suddenly remembered that he had no plans for a long time. He was still half a year away from the birth of the "Jiu Death Jingling Jia" who was guarding the tomb. He had to use another method of concealing the heavens and first revealed a "Miscellaneous Fu of the Mountain Viewing" to stabilize everyone, and delayed the time for half a year.
In the past six months, Master Sun Jiu found another opportunity to sneak back to the "Coffin Gorge" alone and set it up secretly. Even his brother's "author letter" was replaced by fake, and he found the "Bashan Ape" who was always wandering around to guard the corpse. He even told him some things, and the ape was extremely psychic and lived a lot of years. Master Sun Jiu could understand what he meant.
Finally, Master Sun Jiu pretended to come back from another place and took everyone into the mountain. Although he had hidden secrets, he had dealt with outsiders, so he was not good at disguising and concealing. Sometimes it was enough to pretend to be three points, but when he came here, he often had to pretend to be twelve points, which led everyone to reveal the "Miscellaneous Fu of the Mountain Viewing Finger" intermittently. The content after "If you want to see the earthly immortal, look for the black sheep first" was mostly tampered with by himself, just to prevent others from leaving him alone.
As the saying goes, "A man has a lot of calculations, but God only has one calculation", but man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Professor Sun never dreamed that there would be another member on the way, the youngest girl in "Fengwo Mountain". She easily opened the "Nine Palaces Chihu Lock". This almost lost "selling weapon" technique is not even a "gold-touching lieutenant". There were several other carefully planned in advance, but made mistakes, which caused many shocking things. Afterwards, it was a lucky thing.
When we entered the "Ancient Tomb of Wuyang King", there was no such thing as "Wuhouzhan" in the figurine road in front of the tomb gate. Because the underground springs were unstable, they were not built in the end, and they were only in shape. When we were pieced together the map in this tomb passage, Sun Jiuye wanted to get rid of the rest of the people after taking the real map. So he secretly sent a signal to the "Bashan Ape" to hide in the tomb passage in advance. When the fat man and I were not prepared, we burned incense to attract immortals, and wanted to entangle us with the "Belly Immortal" monsters in order to escape.
Master Sun Jiu sighed to me, "I know you have gradually begun to doubt me, so I want to take the map in the tomb passage and leave. I didn't expect that you, Hu Bayi, are too smart, and the opportunistic second-hand dealer, is really a very ghost. He actually found out in advance and used the fake picture to deceive me. Now, you can't escape even if you want to escape. The Jiusheng Jinglingjia in the mountain is about to be closed. The time when the door of Sheng is opened again... it will be twelve years later."
I said without caring: "Don't exaggerate to me. As long as Master Sun Jiu, you dare to come in, what's wrong with me? At worst, we'll go out together in twelve years."
Master Sun Jiu did not answer me directly, but asked Shirley Yang what time it was now. Shirley Yang looked at his watch: "It's only twenty minutes left to midnight."
Mr. Sun Jiu said: "We have walked in for a lot of time. If we go back from the secretly road, two or three hours are absolutely not enough. After twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the Jiushen Jingling Armor will appear. You must know how powerful this thing is. This armor guard was set up in the Maoling of Emperor Wu of Han that year. When the Red Eyebrow Rebel Army robbed Maoling, countless casualties were killed and injured. It took hundreds of thousands of people half a month to break the Jiushen Jingling Armor..."
I said to Professor Sun: "I naturally know the power of Jiusheng Jinglingjia, but the Red Eyebrow Army had no means to unload the ridge at that time. It was nothing more than a group of mobs digging and digging randomly. It was not surprising that many people were killed or injured. I just want to ask you, since you have entered the Coffin Mountain, why do you dare to come in? Do you really don't want to live?"
The muscles on Master Sun Jiu's face suddenly twitched twice and whispered: "Do you still remember? I told you... All four of you have died long ago?"
I felt a stern in my heart, and remembered that there were signs of corpses on my body. This was a big problem, so I asked: "But you, an old ghost, told us before that you can survive by entering the mountain fairy village of coffin. Is this also nonsense to us? Isn't it good for you to show some objective attitude of a dialectical materialist?"
Shirley Yang also felt unbelievable and asked him to explain the matter. Master Sun Jiu shook his head helplessly: "The corpse gas in the coffin gorge is too heavy. The corpse spots on your body are not a big deal. They are just poisoned by corpse and will not die in the end. I was eager to enter the earth immortal tomb just now, and I didn't have time to explain it to you clearly, so I told you this lie, but I was forced to force you. Now... I will just say it straight, don't panic. I swear to the ancestors of the Guanshan Feng family that there is no vain. At least one of us has died. The person who has died long ago... is me."
Chapter completed!
