the last priest

Stories about guarding a treasure are often found in novels or unofficial histories, but such stories are often true. The guardian doesn't even know what he is guarding. It is a kind of belief and a promise to the ancestors.Cheng Laonong is such a person. Since he was a child, his grandfather told him that the mountain behind him is something that he must protect with his whole life.

Zha Wenbin's experience in geomantic omen can't be said to be top-notch, but he can't be mistaken. Whether it's the terrain or the location, this place is not an excellent site for a yin house. It is also absolutely impossible for a family to guard with their lives for generations. A simple ancestral grave hill.

The vaguely towering shadow in the maple forest, those huge long stones, he believed to be a ruin from the predecessors.He is a qualified listener, but by no means a suitable interrogator. He doesn't have super eloquence, and moreover, he is used to collecting the other party's information for judgment, so he didn't even mention a single word of the many questions in his mind.

Early the next morning, Dashan had a headache. He only felt that the two nerves near his temple were about to explode.When he saw the old man, he still yelled that last night's drink was really strong, and he never doubted that in Dashan's world, anyone who can get close to Cha Wenbin must be a good person.

The old farmer cooked a bowl of dark food and put it in a bowl for him to drink. He said it was a hangover cure. Dashan drank it all at once and felt the discomfort in his stomach subside. In fact, Cha Wenbin knew it was the cure.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Chaozi and the others arrived first. Many of the necessary equipment were brought in by mules. For lighting, Chaozi even brought in a gasoline generator.Director Leng went back to the provincial capital to make a report. As an exploratory excavation, he didn't need to prepare too much. I believe he would be able to come back tomorrow with the formalities.

Leng Yiran's work permit completely dispelled the doubts in the old farmer's heart. He cried and said that the place he had guarded all his life could finally be handed over to the government, but there were too few clues he could provide.

Cha Wenbin was quite interested in that bridge. It was a small bridge about two meters long and composed of four thick bluestone slabs.There are no railings on the bridge deck, and it is as simple as the most common stone bridge in Jiangnan water town. Under the bridge, as the old farmer said, there is a small pool. Even in the rainy season, this pool is difficult to drown a child over ten years old.But Cha Wenbin was sure that people had died in this place. Walking under the bridge, the temperature in this place where less than three people were side by side suddenly dropped, and a cold air gushed out from under the bridge. People could feel it before they got close. The hairs on the back will stand on end.

This feeling is the subconscious self-reaction to danger. Everyone has the ability to predict, more or less.For example, if you buy a house, if you say that someone died in the house you bought, especially someone who died unexpectedly, you will not be able to sleep at night; for another example, many people will say that a certain place looks gloomy, but it is not that there is no light in that place. , but the place is really not clean.

The bridge can't see any other differences, but if Cha Wenbin is given more time, he can find the flaw. The strangest part of the bridge is its piers.Generally speaking, in order to balance the weight of the bridge deck, the pier must be located in the middle of the bridge; but this bridge is not, its pier Cha Wenbin roughly measured it with his arm, and it was built according to the ratio of 3:7. .The one on the east side should be shorter, and the one on the west side should be longer. This design is what Cha Wenbin pondered the most. If it is really deliberate, then the designer of this bridge is indeed a master.

The Chinese people's favorite orientation for designing Yang Zhai is to sit north and south, and there are very few east-west orientations. One is the problem of sunlight exposure, and the other is related to life and death.The east is the place where the sun rises, which means birth, and is a symbol of vitality and life; the west is the sunset, which is death and darkness.The village is located on the east side, and the yin house is chosen to be on the west side, which is in line with the simplest Feng Shui theory, but the proportion of the bridge is very knowledgeable.

Before the Arabic numeral "0" penetrated into China, the ancients believed that the largest number was nine, so the emperor was also called the Nine-Five Zun.But Taoism is the opposite. Taoism believes that the largest number is "three", because three is a birth number, "Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things."The first here refers to the vitality, the second refers to the origin of the yin and yang, which is Taiji, and the yin and yang, and the three realms of heaven, earth and man. The three realms can produce all things, and this is how one qi turns into three cleans.

Therefore, the section near the east is three, even if you walk on this bridge at night, from east to west, as long as you don't pass the bridge pier, Cha Wenbin thinks nothing will happen.But the other side of the bridge pier is not. Seven is a perfect number in Taoism, the number of heavenly gangs, and it represents the completion of a reincarnation. It is the way for people in the underworld to stand on the bridge and look at their hometown.Further on is the human world of the Three Lives, which cannot come, so no matter how many graveyards there are in the mountains and forests to the west, people living in the east will not be disturbed. A bridge has already clearly divided the two worlds of yin and yang.

Midnight belongs to them. When a living person crosses the bridge from the east, as long as they cross Sansheng, the people on the other side of the bridge will eagerly welcome you into their world. This is the so-called "crossing the bridge in the middle of the night".

More Cha Wenbin didn't have time, because Chaozi had already started to drive his mule up the mountain.Cha Wenbin wanted to go to the shadow of the mountaintop that he saw yesterday. He and Dashan needed to lead the way, through the maple forest, and he could see the boulder broken by Dashan yesterday and the blood on the ground.

Climbing up another kilometer, there are long strips of stones scattered all over the road. Chaozi said that these are artificially polished stones, and it can be seen that there are really large buildings in this place.When he got closer, he finally saw the true face of the thing he wanted to see yesterday. It was a building about three meters high, and it was built with long stones scattered all over the ground. Decreasing, the overall shape is a pyramid, but it is a pity that it collapsed when it reached about half the height.

Chaozi climbed up and could see that the middle of the building was hollow, but now there are many stones in a mess. The four men were responsible for cleaning these stones out of the whole morning, and Leng Yiran recorded every stone. number and its original location.

In the afternoon, the entire interior was completely cleaned up. Unfortunately, no valuable clues were found. These stones were only piled up on the flat ground. Chaozi used a Luoyang shovel to beat down a full 15 meters. , which proves that there is nothing here that they are looking for.

Located on the ridge, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to make such a thing out, it must not be for the sake of looking good, the stones that were moved out have traces of fire, Chao Zi said, this thing is likely to be a beacon tower in the past, used to Notify the enemy.But Cha Wenbin doesn't think so. Throughout the history of Northwest Zhejiang, Youling was at best a no-man's land before the tunnel was opened to traffic. It had neither strategic value nor economic value. Who would build such a worthless place? Beacon towers for military use?

While it was still dark, Zha Wenbin wanted to walk north along the ridge. The mountains over there were higher. If the copper piece was washed down by water, at least he had to find the source of the river first.

It is not a good job to shuttle heavy materials through the mountains and forests, especially the old forests that have not been cut down for thousands of years. The collapsed trees and dense bushes make their journey have to be slashed with swords and curses. continue in voice.It seemed that the distance was no more than two kilometers, and they walked for a whole afternoon, and a second "beacon tower" began to appear here.

Like the previous one, it's also collapsed here, only slightly better than the previous one.Chaozi and Dashan used their knives to carve out an open space, which is their campsite tonight. From here, Chaozi could see the smoking chimneys of the old farm house, but he couldn’t see the place ten meters away from him. The woods are too dense for any surface.

For dinner, I ate hot pot, put a few stones on the iron pot and put some seasoning on it to boil. Working in the field, this can almost be regarded as a luxurious dinner.Most of Cha Wenbin's coming out of the mountain this time is because Chaozi sold the national treasure that director Leng said, and another reason is that Youling is really a very uneven place.

Since the Youling Tunnel was completed and opened to traffic, dozens of accidents have occurred in this section of less than one kilometer back and forth. In addition to the winding mountain road before it was opened to traffic, several lives were buried in this green mountain and green water every year.People who walk this road may be immersed in the beauty of the mountain top one second, a tunnel, a bamboo sea, and a tunnel. This place is indeed beautiful, but the next second may be a car crash.In addition to the inherent dangers of any deadly highway, another reason is Feng Shui.The road is also a man-made structure, and it has a much greater impact on Feng Shui than ordinary buildings. From the shape, the road is more like a winding dragon, but it is not certain whether the dragon is inauspicious or auspicious.

Insert one, support the original version, please read the last Taoist: Grinding Iron: I know that the pirated version will definitely copy this passage into the page, haha
