Chapter 47: Avoid Fire
The ancient tomb is a netherworld, and candles are a symbol of lifeline. As the saying goes, it is not that evil ghosts do not blow the lights, but that the lieutenant is the most taboo thing to blow the lights. Once the candle is extinguished, the room immediately becomes invisible. The fat man was furious and slapped his helmet. His tactic of turning off suddenly lit up. Then he raised his hand and grabbed Master Sun Jiu and shouted: "Sun Laojiu, you are tired of living, dare to blow Master Fatty's lamp? Don't ask if you go out - what happened to the rice dumplings that blow Master Fatty's candle last time!"

Master Sun Jiu said with a nervous expression: "Fatty Wang, you are tired of living. You can't light candles in Dixian Village!"
I stopped the fat man and said to Master Sun Jiu: "Didn't you ask you to light a candle before? Why did you suddenly change your mind and blow out the life lamp? Where are you? Where is your intention?" Master Sun Jiu shook his head first and nodded immediately. He said, "Lighting a candle is my idea, but I was too anxious today, as if I was blinded by lard, and I always ignored a very important thing. Since I entered this coffin, I felt something was wrong. I was too abnormal, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. It was not until I lit the candle just now that I suddenly remembered it."
shirle Yang asked: "Professor Sun, what's abnormal about you refer to is... candles?" Sun Jiuye nodded and said: "That's right, Miss Yang, you have also noticed that the layout of the fairy village in the mountain of the coffin is consistent with Qingxi Ancient Town everywhere. Every house is the same as the human world, but there is also a very concealed difference. There is no candles and lamp stands, lamp oil, and even firewood in the kitchen stove."
I couldn't immediately understand what Master Sun Jiu said, and said strangely: "There are two floors of Yin and Yang in Dixian Village, and there are no fire candles and lamps in the Yang house. What does this mean? Could it be that the group of Guanshan Taibao are all people who have transformed into virginity - the darker the ground is, the clearer you can see it?"
Mr. Sun Jiu said: "Although there are no candles, there is a kind of yang marrow lamp in the Tibetan Bone Building and various courtyards. Yang marrow is an ore that can glow. People in those days should have used mineral light sources to illuminate. According to the sayings passed down from ancestors, there was never a custom of using yang marrow to brighten it in Qingxi Ancient Town. It is very likely that there is a taboo in Dixian Village that can't light candles in the coffin."
Shirley Yang said: "Among the few pictures left by Feng Shigu, there is a picture called "Walking on the Candles". The situation in the picture is that many people light candles and enter the ancient tomb. If there is a matter of prohibiting fire and avoiding candles in the coffin, why do those people light candles in the tomb?"
When I heard this, my heart sank, and I felt that the people who were hiding in Dixian Village were all lit torches. It was an old custom of the burialists holding candles and dying. They all went to the tomb to bury their lives. How did they die after entering the curtain?
Master Sun Jiu asked us to take out the "Picture of Walking with Candles at Night". He looked at it again and was even more convinced: "Look at it, the picture is very clear. Those who entered the tomb, those who were walking on the underground stone steps, had candles and torches that were lit in their hands; and the people in front of the tomb gate at a high place, were all extinguished."
I asked Master Sun Jiu: "Even if there is indeed a custom of not moving candles in the middle of the coffin, I don't know what will happen if I light a candle. I don't think there is anything abnormal nearby, so don't scare yourself."
Fatty and I disagreed with this and said to him: "You have any troubles. Besides, are you still small troubles facing now? If there are too many lice, don't bite them, don't worry about debts. There is nothing big about death. Our group is specializing in the career of monies and fighting. What's the big deal about lighting a candle?"
shirley Yang said: "Old Hu, don't take it lightly. Let Professor Sun finish his words first. If a candle is lit, what will happen in the coffin?"
Master Sun Jiu said: "The layout of Dixian Village is like a fireless lampstand. I understand a little about the ancient Feng Shui. This should be a layout that avoids fire."
All I learned in my life were from the sixteen-character Feng Shui of the Mianziwei. It is a Qingwu Feng Shui that uses ancient Feng Shui as the muscles and bones, and combines the secret techniques of Jiangxi Situation Sect as flesh and blood. The root of Guanshan Taibao's Guanshan technique is the oracle bones in the hanging coffin of the coffin gorge, which is a branch of ancient Feng Shui. Although it comes from the same lineage as Qingwu Feng Shui, there are many differences, so I don't know much about the theory of avoiding fire. I just look at the outline of the Dixian Village in "The Picture of the Coffin Mountains and the House", which is indeed like a copper lamp without fire.
Only heard from Master Sun Jiu said: "The Feng Shui thing is just one thing. Secondly, Dixian Village is similar to the Qingxi Ancient Town in the late Ming Dynasty. Feng's family gained fame and fortune in the early Ming Dynasty. It took more than 200 years for the Ming Dynasty and continued to expand their ancestral homes. Therefore, the situation of Qingxi Ancient Town was determined from that period. Later generations experienced the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and knew that there was no big change after liberation. I had never thought about why Qingxi Town had to be a pattern of avoiding fire and extinguishing candles, or I didn't think of that layer at all. If I think deeper, it must be related to the fact that the Feng family of Guanshan designed to destroy the Faqiu Seal and touch the gold talisman during the Yongle period."
The titles of ancient military organization were similar to those of modern times. The modern army had ranks of generals, lieutenants, and sergeants, among which each level was divided into fewer, middle, upper, and large, such as major generals, lieutenant generals, and generals. In ancient times, generals were senior officers, and the lieutenant was an intermediate officer. The tomb robbers under Cao Cao was the head of the General of the Fauqiu, also known as the Heavenly Officer. There was a gold-touching lieutenant under it, and was accompanied by a gold-touching talisman as a tomb. Therefore, the Faqiu Seal and gold-touching talisman were left. After the chaos in the late Han Dynasty, the people who were gold-touching talismans flew into the people and no longer acted as officials and thieves. They fought against each other in a single battle to save the poor people in the world.
The Chinese have always paid attention to fame since ancient times. The so-called name is not right and the words are not right. So Faqiu and the official names of the official families have been used for thousands of years. The Faqiu seal with the eight words "The blessings of the heavenly officials, no taboos" is engraved with the ancient money seal of the first-level mountain, all tokens passed down from generation to generation, with a total of nine payments and one seal.
Because the method of touching gold lieutenant's back-to-defying battle came from the "Book of Changes". The "Book of Changes" is also the ancestor of the classics. He is good at identifying the stars and earth veins with the word "Wang", which is the most traditional branch in the back-to-defying battle. Therefore, there have always been a saying among the people that touching gold is the king. The leader of the touching gold lieutenant was the Faqiu Tianguan. However, in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, in order to ensure the stability of the imperial tomb, the royal family designed a trick by Guanshan Taibao to destroy the Faqiu seal and six gold talismans.
Perhaps the way of heaven is tolerant, and the skill of not touching gold and fighting was cut off from then on, and in the end, there were still three gold-touching talismans missing. It is said that if one day the enemy is invincible, the troubles of the Guanshan Feng family is worried that this matter will be exposed, and sooner or later the lieutenant will come back to take revenge. Especially the Feng family’s ancestral tombs were buried in the coffin gorge, so when they think about it, they can’t sleep or eat at all times, but this matter did not end and gradually became relieved.
Mr. Sun Jiu said that now, what Guanshan Taibao is most afraid of is always the lieutenant of the gold-touching school. The architectural layout of Dixian Village is in line with the principles of the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates, and its outline is also like a fire-tighting. In the Fengshui of Guanshan, candles cannot be lit in places where fire-tighting is avoided, and when the candles are lit, the life gate must be turned into a dead gate. Isn’t this just a special deal with the gold-touching school gate?
I said to Master Sun Jiu: "I think you are a little oversensitive and have all the plants and plants. What kind of grudges did the Guanshan Feng family have with the past? They are all the dust of history. There is no need to break up the old accounts. The account between us and you is no longer clear. Let's not think about extra things now. Let's think of ways to dig out the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu from the coffin mountain theory first."
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Master Sun Jiu had to say, "I hope I'm too worried. You first look at the map to find the route of action. I'm looking through this book "Digging the Mountains and Digging Tibet". In the previous article of the coffin, it records in detail the big and small things in this fairy village. Maybe you can find something else."
I was just thinking that I went to see the pictures and classics left by Feng Shigu. The coffin mountain buried deep underground is a corpse vein. The earth vein only exists in the oldest Feng Shui legend. The Qingwu Feng Shui is famous and unsolvable for the corpse vein of the dragons. It is hard to say whether the earth immortals use corpses to remove themselves from form and transform into form. However, Shirly Yang and I discussed the matter in the tomb of the earth immortals. Both thought that Feng Shigu was far-reaching, and the things he did were difficult to predict. We would rather believe that the existence of the immortals came out of the mountain than to believe that they were not, and we must never let the ancient corpses in the tomb see the light of the sky again, otherwise there would be a big mess.
As I was saying this, I heard the youngest girl outside the window suddenly say, "It seems that something is moving in the yard-" At this time, blood was dancing in the air, but the mountains were still dark and unrecognizable. If there was any movement in the distance, I could only use the sound of the ears. When I walked to the pane, I heard it. Sure enough, there was some abnormal movement, and the sound was dense, but it was not in the yard, but from near the coffin cliff outside Dixian Village, it seemed like a rolling tide, surging towards the side of the Zanggu Tower.
The other people also found it strange that there was not half a living person in the coffin, so how could such a sudden movement appear? It sounded quite a lot, and it was not the sound of copper erosion and friction like Jiushen Jingling Jia. Although the source is unknown, it must be that the person who came was not good, and some terrible things were about to pour into Dixian Village.
Master Sun Jiu could hear it clearly, and suddenly turned the book forward two pages, stood up from the ground suddenly, and handed over: "We have to find a place to hide quickly. This sound is definitely the coffin worm mentioned in "Opraise and Digging Tibet"!"
This coffin mountain is full of strange creation. The Pangu vein in the mountain is like a corpse, just like those hills that look like reclining Buddhas, but without a head lying flat in the coffin. No matter how you look at it, it is a bad place with a broken head. But in fact, it is a strange vein that is hidden in the evil. There is a dark spring flowing in the soil layer here, and the spring water smells like blood of corpses. In the tide of the tide, the phenomenon of clear water flowing out of the coffin is called the coffin rush, and the spring in the grave is also a treasure land where wind and water are gathered. Therefore, the coffin mountain is a strange place, exactly the same as a real coffin. Since there is a turbid and blood-like coffin, it is natural to have coffin insects appear in the wall of the coffin.
Coffin worms, also known as worms, are transformed from maggots growing between the walls of coffins. They are as color as pine skin, with flesh wings, and have seven pairs of teeth that are willing to eat and decay. The smaller ones are like rice grains, but the largest ones are the size of the palms of seven or eight-year-old children who can grow. Most people who fight back have seen this thing. However, in those ordinary ancient tombs, even if there are many corpses in one scene, the number of coffin is relatively limited, so even if coffin worms appear, there will never be too many.
However, in the records of "Guanshan Digging and Title Record", the stone walls of the coffin have naturally grown texture patterns, similar to the ancient patterns of climbing dragons and phoenixes. These rock gaps contain many wooden hanging coffins, and the pits and valleys are covered with silk vines, mud moss, and corpses, and many coffin insects that eat mud moss and broken wood are parasitized. Due to the order of magnitude, it was difficult for Guanshan Taibao to delete them all. Fortunately, they dodge hanging coffins and are not in the way of the ancient tomb of Dixian Village.
But today is probably not auspicious day. All kinds of abnormal phenomena appeared in the coffin mountain. The surrounding Jiude Jingling armor pierced the rock formation and forced all the coffin insects hidden in the rock peaks out. At this moment, hearing the sound of insects crawling outside the building, it was known that thousands of coffin insects were pouring into the Dixian Village from all directions.
Master Sun Jiu said desperately: "The coffin worms are not like the corpse worms in the underground palace of Wuyang King. They are willing to do so, and there is no bone residue left. We have to find a place to hide. I know that you are all bold and cruel people who don't take life and death seriously, but this girl is irrelevant. Don't implicate her and die together."
The fat man Leng Heng said, "Old Hu, listen to what he said, it's so touching. It seems that we misunderstood before. It turns out that Master Sun Jiu also has a bright red heart."
Although I knew that the situation was extremely urgent and that I was blocked by thousands of coffin insects in the house, I had no choice but to die, but I didn’t take a step and could not take it step by step. As a result of my rash action, my wisdom made the situation even worse. So I said to the fat man, "Justice Jiu almost regarded him as my comrade." But I was thinking in my heart: "The houses in Dixian Village are like ordinary people, not in a state of iron. There is no place where people can bury themselves and avoid disasters."
Master Sun Jiu ignored the sarcasm of me and the fat man. He hurriedly stuffed several books written by Feng Shigu into his bag, pointed to the downstairs and said, "There is a cemetery under the Dixian Village - the bottom of this hidden bone building must be a tomb. We hide in the ground, not only can we avoid coffin insects, but we can also follow the tomb passage to find the Dixian Pavilion. Otherwise, what can we do if we are trapped in the building?"
, edition, text version, all in.
Shirley Yang stopped Sun Jiuye and said, "The tomb passage is even more dangerous. I saw that there were many gaps in the tomb passage in the cemetery house in Dixian Village, and coffin insects were everywhere, so they might not be able to stop them."
I am very reasonable about Shirley Yang's words. The cemetery in the coffin mountain is connected horizontally, with ancient tombs from different dynasties pressing down on the ground. The structure and building materials of the tomb chamber are different, resulting in gaps and loopholes in the tomb passages. If a large number of coffin insects come overwhelmingly, it will be difficult to deal with in the narrow and closed tomb chambers.
I heard the sound of insects crawling in the distance gradually approaching, which made people feel more and more panicked. I kept thinking about it. The "Coffin Mountain Picture" depicts the terrain of the Coffin Mountain in detail. At the entrance of the Earth Fairy Pavilion, there are several metal rings painted. Although there is no real name in the picture, it is located at the entrance of the tomb. In ancient times, there was the concept of a round sky and a place. Round is a living and a death. The arc in the hexagram implies the meaning of "life". According to reason, these rings should be broken insects in front of the tomb and anti-theft objects. Pushing them into them may be able to avoid the attack of the coffin insects. This is also a plan to retreat as a way to advance, and it is better than to stay in a lonely building and a house alone.
At this time, I didn't care whether there was any old case of fire prevention in Dixian Village. I immediately asked the fat man to do it together. When it came to the shovel, I took out a few wooden chairs, and then broke the cloth strips and wrapped them on it, and lit them as a torch to deworm them.
Seeing this, Master Sun Jiu was so anxious that his throat was hoarse. He grabbed my arm and said hoarsely: "You can't ignite the fire. The wood in the courtyards in Dixian Village is full of old trees. Together with the fire, you must draw out the Jiushi Jinglingjia at the bottom."
