Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 83 The Patriarch of Tomb Robbers

Blind Chen seemed to have suddenly disappeared in Beijing. I searched all over to no avail, so I had to give up. I figured he had hid somewhere to avoid the limelight, so on the one hand, I asked someone to leave a message for him, and on the other hand, I prepared to kill him. We were leaving for the United States. We were about to go abroad for a long trip. We wanted to take a good look at Beijing in winter, so I took Shirley Yang for a walk all the way to Beihai Lake to see the lively scene of ice skating. We also discussed our arrangements after going abroad. In winter The cold wind in Beijing is strong and the gray sky indicates that a snowfall is coming, but these cannot stop people's interest. The fun of skating in the classical royal gardens makes people linger.

I told Shirley Yang that I was ready to wash my hands in the gold basin. I didn’t want to put my head in my belt to fight backwards anymore. I took out the gold-touching charm given to me by the big gold tooth and waved it in front of her eyes, showing my determination not to touch it. The golden talisman, the Patriarch will not bless it.

In fact, I did think about taking off the real gold talisman, but my experiences over the years have told me that there are no absolutes in the world, and anything can happen, so I should try to leave myself room as much as possible. Once said: "It is better to be prepared than to use it, than to use it and not be prepared."

On the way home from Beihai, Shirley Yang was happy, but she still seemed a little worried about my actions. She wanted to take away the golden talisman and keep it for me. I thought I couldn't give this to her, so I quickly and solemnly said to her: "I am a good general of the country, but my family is poor and I want a good wife. I thought that after I met you, my messy life situation would be completely eliminated." Changed my mind, but why do you always distrust me? This...this does not conform to the objective laws of Engels's dialectics of nature."

Shirley Yang said: "Don't be like this. I know you too well to be uneasy. I found that when you speak seriously, almost none of what you say is reliable. It's those who are careless and seem cynical." There is a hint of sincerity in your words, show me the gold-touching talisman again, I didn't even know whether it was true or false just now."

I was startled by what she said, and asked myself in my heart: "Am I really like that? Is my speech so unreliable? Are all serious statements regarded as bullshit? Can I make a joke but be taken seriously? This is definitely not the case. Otherwise, they say that there are differences between Chinese and American cultures and we need to seek common ground while reserving differences. From this point of view, there are really differences." As soon as he thought about it, he thought of an excuse to attract Shirley Yang's attention: "In the legend about the captain who touched the gold, , the sealing skills and armor are all passed down from the ancestors. Those who do this business depend on the ancestors for their jobs. When fighting upside down, you have to silently recite the blessings of the ancestors several times. But after all, it is the first of the seventy-two professions in the world. Who is the ancestor who touched Captain Jin? It’s hard to tell what’s going on here.”

Shirley Yang said: "There is nothing unclear about this. Among the seventy-two lines, antiques take the lead, and inverted fighting belongs to the other eight lines. It has its own system in traditional Chinese culture and has a complete inheritance of craftsmanship. There are seven in total. Twelve out of ten, for example, the ancestor of actors and actresses is Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, the ancestor of pig butchers is Zhang Yide, the ancestors of sewing and clothing are Xuanyuan, the carpenters are worshiped by Luban, and the thieves are worshiped by Dongfang Shuo. These seventy-two lines are divided into nine streams and thirteen grades. Among the eight outer lines, the one who touches gold is the king, so the captain who touches gold is also the king among the seventy-two traditional lines. However, when it comes to the founders of this reverse fight, there are three."

I just asked casually in a hurry, but unexpectedly I asked a lot of things, and they were all unheard of, so I asked Shirley Yang to tell her the origin in detail, so that if someone asks me in the future, I can tell the story of Chou Yin. Come on, don't be laughed at. I have been touching Captain Jin for so long, but I don't know who the ancestor is.

Shirley Yang’s understanding of these inverted fighting rules and traditions was also learned from the diary left by her grandfather, Partridge Whistle. Among the seventy-two lines, those who can be respected as the ancestors are not necessarily in this line of work. The first person, but the founder of all walks of life are all figures who have left their names in history, at least occupying a place among the influential figures in history.

Long before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there had been rebellions in the world, but the most influential one was probably the one where Wu Zixu discovered the tomb of King Chu and whipped his corpse to avenge him. Wu Zixu dug up the tomb for The purpose of avenging sworn revenge was not for the artifacts buried in King Chu's tomb. He was "doing something for something rather than making money." Therefore, Taoist Banshan Taoist priests in later generations who also "seeked for something other than money" have always been Respect Wu Zixu as the ancestor.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the Chu and Han Dynasties were fighting for hegemony, Xiang Yu sent the Qin Mausoleum to burn Afang and plundered countless treasures. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were both rebels at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, the followers of the later generations took the word "righteousness" from it as a sign of gathering justice and dividing the spoils, and respected it. The overlord of Western Chu is the founder, and the overlord's power is so great that it is the luck of the Xiling warriors who dig the graves outside.

Tomb robbing activities were already very frequent in the Han Dynasty. The name "Mojin Xiaowei" officially appeared in the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty. In fact, it had been formed as early as the Western Han Dynasty, but it had not yet become popular. Later in the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao needed military pay to calm down the troubled times and thus return the favor to the people. Under the pretext of the Qing Dynasty, many invincible masters were recruited and regular inverted combat troops were established. Only then did the saying of "Mojin Xiaowei" come into being, which has been used for thousands of years. The ancients said: "If the name is not correct, the words are not correct." "Shun", each line of business can be independent and passed on to future generations only with the name of the ancestor. However, the rules and various crafts of Mojin Xiaowei, as well as the framework of Yili and Five Elements, were not fully developed until the Tang Dynasty, and later the situation in Jiangxi was absorbed The essence of Zong Feng Shui theory includes the unique Feng Shui secrets of "Looking for the Dragon" and "Dividing Gold and Fixing Points".

During the Three Kingdoms period, the warlords were divided into separate states, and the inverted fighting troops were not unique to Cao Wei. In order to supplement military expenditures, Sun Wu once dug the tomb of Nanyue King Yingqi in Lingnan. However, the inverted fighting troops under Sun Quan encountered difficulties when excavating the tomb of the Yue King. In a very big accident, the whole army was wiped out, and no one could survive afterwards. This matter was passed down orally among the craftsmen who fought, but there was no record in the history books. Unofficial history is completely contrary to the legend. I don’t know whether it is true or false to say that I will retire after my success.

These unofficial stories also mentioned that Cao Cao's tomb was also designed by Colonel Mo Jin, so it would be difficult for future generations to discover it. The person buried in the husband's body was hidden and wanted to be invisible to others. Some ancient tombs do occupy the situation and are uniquely endowed. If not If you know the truth and don't use very special methods to find it, there is almost no possibility of discovery.

I suddenly realized: "It turns out that the inheritance of the ancestors of tomb robbers is like this. However, although these three ancestors lived in different times, they all have a very similar thing in common. Cao Cao is both a poet and a soldier. Wu Zixu was a general when he conquered Chu. Xiang Yu Moreover, they are the overlords of Chu who command the three armies. It can be said that they are all soldiers who are experienced in fighting and have a deep military background. I am afraid this cannot simply be said to be some kind of coincidence. They dare to take the lead in fighting, most likely with Jiu. People who have experienced battles have strong energy and do not believe in evil. If they are not from the army, how can they have such courage and insight?"
