Ghost Blows Out the Light

In the big picture, Longling is the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains. In the small place, it is actually a piece of mounds covered with stars, one mound next to another, with a huge difference in height and height. The space was cut into fragments by rain and strong winds, with countless deep grooves, and some places were covered with soil shells, but they could be broken by stepping on them, and there were hollow holes inside.Seeing that the straight line between the two hills is very short, but it is very likely that it will take half a day to walk from one side to the other.

This place is not well-known, and even Cheng Lian has no unified name. People near Gutian County call this mountain "Longling", but the villagers living near Longling call this area "Pan Snake Slope". .

"Pan Snake Slope" is far less imposing than the name "Longling", but it is more intuitive and vivid to describe the topography here than the latter.

Fatty, Da Jinya and I left Gutian County at 11:[-] in the morning. We took the car on the roads where cars could be used, and took No. [-] where there was no traffic. We asked all the way to "Longling" when it was already dark. .

There is a small village at the foot of Longling Mountain. There are about [-] families in the village. The three of us discussed it. It is getting late now. It is not easy to find the Fishbone Temple. The mountain road is difficult, so don’t pay attention If he falls into the ditch, his mother will die before he leaves school, so he might as well spend the night in the village and wait until tomorrow morning to talk about anything.

We found a family at the entrance of the village nearby, explained our purpose to the owner, and went out on our way without going to the village or back to the store. Could it be convenient for us to stay overnight, and we can pay for it if we don’t live in vain.

The owner of this household is an elderly couple. Seeing the three of us carrying large and small parcels and two big white geese that were alive and kicking, we were a little puzzled, not knowing what our group was doing.

The fat man quickly said to others with a smile on his face: "Master and aunt, we are going to visit our former comrades in the army. We passed by here and missed Sutou. You see, we are also away from home. It is not easy. No one will take the house with us when we go out." Isn’t it, can you please find us a room and let us brothers and sisters take care of it for a night, and you can keep the 20 yuan.” After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the person is willing or not, he took out the money Come and give it to the old couple.

The old couple saw that we didn't want any bad people, so they readily agreed and vacated a room for us. It seemed that no one lived in it for a few years, and the kang was cold. I told them that there is no need to burn the kang, just a shelter from the wind, and then I asked the old couple to get us some food.

The fat man saw buckets and poles in the yard, so he said to me, "Old Hu, go get two buckets of water quickly."

I wondered: "What are you doing fetching water? Isn't there water in your kettle?"

The fat man said: "When you PLA live in a fellow's house, you have to fill up the water tank in the fellow's house, and then you have to sweep the yard and repair the roof."

I said to the fat man: "You're just fucking talking nonsense. I'm not familiar with this. I don't know where the well is. I went out and turned around in the dark. What should I do if I can't come back? Also, I will ask them later Inquire about the situation around here, don't talk too much, if you can talk less, just say a few fucking words, don't forget to talk too much."

While talking, the old couple scrambled some eggs for us, made two pot helmets, and brought them into the house.

I thanked him again and again, and while eating, I made friends with the owner, and asked who lived in this house before?

Unexpectedly, when I asked this question, the old man and the old lady burst into tears. This room was originally lived by their only son. Ten years ago, their son went to "Pan Snake Slope" to find a lamb that was lost at home. He never came back. The villagers searched for three or four days, but they didn't even find the body. It must have fallen into the hollow of the earth shell and fell into the cave in the mountain. The only son, just disappeared. There is not even a single person who is going to retire to the end of life. These years, relying on the help of the folks in the same village, he barely survived the day.

Fatty and the others felt sad after hearing this, and gave them some more money. The old couple were very grateful, and even said that they had met a good person.

I asked about the situation of "Longling", but the old couple said that "Panshepo" does not have any ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty. They only heard from people of the older generation that there was a large tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and this The tomb is very haunted by ghosts. Even in broad daylight, some people encountered ghosts building walls on the slopes and lost their way on the slope at the bottom of the ditch. If they were lucky, they could be rescued by people. If they were unlucky, they would be trapped to death inside up.

The local people call this area "coiled snake", which means that the road is complicated and easy to get lost, while "Longling Miku" refers to the caves in the mountains, criss-crossing, which is simply a natural big maze.

As for the old site of the Fishbone Temple, it does exist, but it has been abandoned for decades. After leaving the village, there is a deep ditch across two mountain ridges. The "Fishbone Temple" is at the head of that ditch. At that time, the businessman who paid the money said that it was at the Fengshui level, and the construction of the Dragon King Temple would ensure smooth weather.

Unexpectedly, after the temple was built, nothing changed. God will rain if he wants to rain, and will dry you for a few years if he doesn’t want to. Burning incense and making offerings is useless at all, so the incense in that temple was cut off, and few people go there anymore .

I said: "We were just crossing the Yellow River, and the Dragon King almost capsized the boat, so we were curious and wanted to go to the Fish Bone Temple to see the bones of the iron-headed Dragon King fish."

The old couple said that it’s okay if you want to go to the Fishbone Temple, but don’t go deep into the Panshe Slope. Even the natives of the village are easy to get lost, let alone the three of you outsiders.

I nodded my thanks, and I had almost eaten by now, so I helped clean up, took the dishes out of the house, and walked in the courtyard, Big Jinziya suddenly whispered to me: "Master Hu, there is something wrong in this courtyard." Good stuff."

I looked back, and Da Jinya pointed to a big stone in the courtyard: "This is a monument, it has been around for a long time."

I didn't say anything, but nodded to show that I understood. After helping to clean up the dishes, the old couple went back to their room to sleep. The three of us surrounded the courtyard and pretended to smoke and chat, secretly watching the stone tablet that Da Jinya said.

If it weren't for the big gold-toothed thief, we wouldn't have discovered that this rectangular stone tablet is very worn out, with several deep stone grooves carved in the middle. It looks like it may be used to tie animals.

There is only half of the stele, and there is still half a broken animal head on the top of the stele. The writing pattern on the stele has long since disappeared. Without the half beast head, it is not a stone stele.

The fat man asked the big gold tooth: "This is the good thing you said. I think it might have been worth a lot before, but now it is like a big rock. Look, everything on it has been worn down. How many years have it been used?" gone."

Da Jinya smoked a cigarette and said, "Fatty, I'm not saying that this stele is valuable. This ruined stele is definitely worthless now. There is only half a beast head left. It may not even have research value. It's a pity, but Don't forget, our family's ancestors were also fighting against each other. The reason why I said this is a good thing is not without a reason. I just pointed at the half animal head on this ruined stele, and I dare to conclude that this Longling There must be an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty, but the exact location, tomorrow we will have to see what Master Hu does."

I reached out and touched the animal head on the stele, and said to Da Jinya, "You mean this is a tombstone?"

Da Jinya said: "Let's say it's a tombstone. Although the beast's head on the stele is broken, I can still see that this beast is called Le clam. The Tang Dynasty was powerful, so they built their tombs in the mountains. There are also some corresponding facilities on the ground, such as stone tablets and statues, stone camels, stone suanni, etc., as a symbol of guarding the mausoleum. This Le clam is a kind of auspicious beast lying on the stone tablet. The voice of the spirit beast is pleasant, like fairy music, so it can be inferred that the stone tablet should be about singing meritorious deeds, and there is a pair of stone tablets every [-] miles in front of the mausoleum, and Leli is the second pair of stone tablets."

I said, "Master Jin, don't think you don't understand Fengshui, but your knowledge of ancient history and culture is beyond my reach. Let's stop talking in the courtyard and go back to the room to discuss it."

We went back to the house to continue planning, and now we have reached the edge of Longling. Judging from the current clues, it is certain that there is an ancient tomb here, but it is somewhat contradictory whether this tomb belongs to the Tang Dynasty or the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Judging from the tombstone, there is no doubt that it is a large tomb of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also in line with what the old Liu Tou said in the guest house in Gutian County, but how do the local villagers say that this mountain is an ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty?

Da Jinya asked me: "Do you think there is such a possibility that in a geomantic vein, there are many acupoints that can set up mausoleums?"

I said: "That's true, but it's impossible for a whole ley line to be a good place, and there are high and low acupuncture points. The best location is often only enough to build a tomb. However, it does not rule out the two dynasties." Ancient tombs all see the possibility of an acupoint."

I asked Fatty and Big Gold Tooth to recharge their batteries tonight, and tomorrow morning, whether it is "Longling" or "Pan Snake Slope", let's go to the place and take a good look, and there may be other people in this village. There are many antiques that have not been discovered. When I come back, I will go to the local villagers' homes to have a look. "
