Chapter 55
"Go to the fields? Tomorrow?" The sexy ghost was stunned. She didn't know how Su Yun thought of going to the fields just from the strange smell on his body.
However, the ghost employees' attention was soon drawn by Su Yun's last sentence "extra gain" - meaning that Su Yun was just like her parents, plucked feathers from passing geese, leaving no grass or even a stone behind wherever she passed.
Su Yun explained to her, "I have been troubled by that smell all day, and I can't figure out what it is that has a smell that only I can smell. Just now, Lin Lang said that it might be something specially made underground. Plus, this village is called Hidden Dragon Array, and it has been said that there is a dragon vein underground. With these connections, what do you think of?"
The ghost bride tilted her head: "Good stuff?"
Hearing this, Su Yun laughed: "And it might be a good thing of the same kind as the thing in my body. We should go and see what the tourists picked up. It would be even better if we can ask about the wolf girl by the way."
Su Yun's body is now assembled. Su Yiling and Ji Weitang replaced almost all of her body. The materials they used were the best ones kept in the funeral home. They were not stingy at all. Many materials were only recorded in books, and it was pure luck to find them. If the two of them hadn't been so lucky, Su Yun probably wouldn't have a new body now.
When they heard Su Yun say that there might be good stuff, and that it was something Su Yun used, finding it would mean that it would be replaceable material. If something went wrong with Su Yun in the future, at least there would be something to replace it. The ghost employees agreed immediately and prepared to go back to their rooms to pack up.
After dinner, Su Yun was planning to go back to sleep and pack up his things. As for Che Xuming, he could only play with him for a while before notifying him. They were probably still being bored.
Su Yun returned to the room and began to pack her things into the suitcase. Looking at her clothes, she wanted to take a shower, but the homestay here did not have a separate bathroom.
Because many people suffer from altitude sickness, Canglongzhai is in a plateau test area. If you have altitude sickness in this place, you can no longer go up.
There is more than one way to get to Lhasa. Many people actually stop at the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. Altitude sickness is most likely to occur when taking a shower, so small places are not equipped with shower rooms. They are worried that if something happens to tourists, they will be implicated. It is better to have less trouble than more.
Although there is no independent bathroom, there are bathhouses and hot spring shops where you can take a bath. If there are many people, even if you have altitude sickness, you will get help in time, and the problem can be attributed to the bathing. Many people have altitude sickness and cannot take a bath, so they can only wait to leave.
Su Yun felt her body for a while and felt that she should not have altitude sickness. She did not feel uncomfortable anywhere and was not short of oxygen. Not to mention those ghosts, they were not breathing anyway. Su Yun thought for a while and decided to take a shower. She went back down to the ground. She would not have the chance to take a shower before coming out.
After packing up his things, Su Yun prepared to go and call the sexy ghost and the ghost bride. The two of them were also discussing this matter. Even if the ghost didn't have to take a bath every day, he would miss the feeling of taking a bath if he kept wandering around in the mountains.
The men won't be notified, they will go on their own when they want.
When they reached the yard, Yan Gui suddenly asked if they wanted to call Youlan. She was left alone in the B&B and felt like she was not accepted by them.
"Although your question is a good one, when people are in the period of passionate love, they might prefer to take a bath together." Su Yun answered calmly.
"It seems so." The sexy ghost stopped hesitating.
The bathroom in the homestay was very simple. Su Yun didn't want to take a shower after seeing it. He felt that it was not very clean after taking a shower, and it looked dilapidated.
When the boss saw them coming from the bathhouse, he said, "Because there is a hot spring nearby, many people don't bathe in the B&B anymore. But it's too late today. It's not safe for you to go out. Even grown men are not safe on the road here, let alone you girls. You should wait until tomorrow afternoon when there are more people."
Su Yun said, "It's okay. We are good fighters and are not afraid of wolves. Can you tell us how to get there? Don't worry. We can come back at night."
Seeing that Su Yun insisted on going out, the boss hesitated for a long time and asked them to bring the male classmates who were traveling with them, especially the two masters. With the tall men around, if anything happened again, it would have nothing to do with the B&B. It was the guests who insisted on going out.
There was no other choice, Su Yun could only call the male employees down again. Just at this time, Che Xuming and Youlan finally saw the messages that Su Yun had been sending them intermittently, and they also came out of the room.
When they heard that they were going to take a shower, they all agreed immediately. They all loved cleanliness. They had been having a rough and uncomfortable time during this period.
The bathhouse is on another street. The woman who acted as their agent introduced it to them, saying that many people would go there to take a bath because it is the only bathhouse in Canglong Village that provides hot water 24 hours a day. There are also other bathhouses opened by locals themselves, but for safety reasons, they are only open until dark.
After we got there, we found that there were quite a lot of people. Many of them looked like tourists from other places, and there were also some very young college students. Everyone was used to taking a shower at night, so it was rare for them to get together.
There are tall security guards in the bathhouse, and even the man behind the counter is at least 1.80 meters tall, with a muscular body. He looks scary, which is probably why the bathhouse can be opened at night.
No matter how arrogant a bad guy is, when he sees a group of strong and powerful men, he will be cautious and will have to use a more delicate method to rob.
Bathing is definitely separated for men and women. Each of them takes their own badge and goes to different doors. There are many people coming in and out. Even if you are not used to it, it will not be noticeable when there are so many people. Gradually you can accept bathing together, since everyone is the same anyway.
While taking a shower, Youlan remembered to ask, what did the message she just received saying that she had to go downstairs to check tomorrow mean?
"Going underground means going to the cemetery. Remember what I said at noon that some tourists smelled bad? I suspect they brought something out from underground. Plus there is a dragon vein here, so I want to go down and take a look. Maybe there really are some old guys who have lived a very long time down there. I can ask them about the wolves then." Su Yun explained simply.
Youlan understood and thought this was a good idea: "Come to think of it, I feel more comfortable after coming here. Maybe it's because of the earth veins? It's much more comfortable than going to ordinary places."
As a fragile flower, the orchid is very sensitive to the environment and will not bloom in uncomfortable places, even in the forest. But after coming here, except for being scared by the stories told by the sexy ghost, nothing particularly uncomfortable has happened to it.
Su Yun wiped his face with a towel and said, "So there is a high possibility that there is something underground. Let's go take a look tomorrow. Since we are here, we must bring some local specialties back."
Everyone was quite looking forward to this so-called specialty. We were planning to go to sleep after returning, but the college students and the author started making noise again. The noise was so loud that it could be heard even with the door closed. We had to add soundproofing, otherwise we would not be able to sleep all night.
With the soundproofing technique, Su Yun finally had a good sleep until his biological clock woke him up. It was exactly six o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark outside. It was very quiet. The author and the cartoonist had finally gone to bed, the college students were no longer noisy, and the travel companions had already gone out. It was the quietest time of the day in the B&B.
Now that he had woken up, Su Yun didn't lie down any longer. He started packing his things and put them all into his Qiankun bag.
Qiankun bag is a must-have product for home and travel.
You can wash in the room of the homestay. The hot water is filled and delivered by the owner every day. After Su Yun finished washing up, he strolled out. The others had just woken up, so they went to the restaurant to eat together. The owner was cooking and was not surprised to see them. He was used to tourists who sleep later than dogs and get up earlier than chickens.
"You came early today, so you can choose your favorite breakfast." The boss brought up all kinds of delicious food. Since we got up early today, we also got beef patties and potato beef buns.
Having a meal like this before going out gives me more energy to walk.
After breakfast, Su Yun bought a lot of dry food with the boss. Tibetans have all kinds of dry food when they go out. They are easy to carry and filling. It just so happened that they had almost finished the food prepared by the chef along the way. On the one hand, they wanted to change the taste, and on the other hand, they wanted to prepare more. Su Yun didn't know how many days he would stay underground, so he had to buy more.
In addition to these dry foods that were still tasty, Su Yun asked Yan Gui to go nearby to look for compressed biscuits. Underground, it would be difficult to survive for many meals by eating other things. Compressed biscuits were relatively better food for survival in a high-pressure environment.
After everything was ready, Su Yun told the boss that they would go to the nearby mountains to observe the work, and asked him to remember to reserve the room for them. It didn't matter if he didn't clean it. Su Yun gave another month's rent in one go. Naturally, the boss had no objection, and he didn't have to work, which was equivalent to getting money for free.
Since Canglong Village is called Canglong, it means that the dragon vein is hidden. Only knowledgeable people can calculate its specific location. Moreover, even if it is calculated, it is not certain that the location of the dragon eye can be found, let alone the underground space.
Apart from Feng Shui experts and Taoist priests who specialize in Feng Shui, basically only tomb robbers with a legacy of tradition can tell where the tomb is. Now we have to add archaeologists to the mix. Relatively speaking, the methods used by archaeologists are more inclined towards Feng Shui theory.
There are only people from tomb-robbing families. Each family has its own inheritance and different methods. After finding the tomb, the ways of entering are even more varied. Some profiteers and tomb-robbers will take things out after entering the tomb, and even destroy the tomb passage and the traces of their entry. This is also the reason why most tombs are destroyed.
Domestic archaeological teams are all conducting emergency archaeological work because they are afraid that these tomb robbers will destroy the tombs and cultural relics.
There are three main reasons why tomb robbers destroy tombs: they cannot get out after triggering the mechanism, they are afraid of being caught robbing tombs, or they want to prevent their own tomb-robbing skills from being discovered.
But there are also some tomb robbers who are particularly intent on disrupting the market. They choose to blow up tombs in order to obtain limited quantities and out-of-print items. Only so many things are unearthed in each tomb, and as long as the rest are destroyed, the tomb robbers will have out-of-print treasures in their hands and can ask for any high price. These tomb robbers are often resellers of cultural relics, so it is not uncommon for them to be fired.
When you can't find the tomb, in addition to looking at the location of the tomb itself, you can also look at the holes dug by tomb robbers. One of the functions of the Luoyang shovel is this. You can dig out the soil to determine whether tomb robbers have dug holes.
Therefore, Su Yun decided that in order to prevent Che Xuming from still not mastering his skills, Che Xuming would calculate the Feng Shui location, and the others would look for a hole to be dug. As long as the hole was dug and soil was brought out, the traces of soil on the ground would be different, and anyone with a little experience could see it.
After leaving the B&B, Che Xuming chose to head directly southwest based on the place he had seen the day before. The forest over there was a little denser, and the wolves were not in the southwest. However, they were not looking for wolves now, but for the underground entrance.
While on the way, Che Xuming told Su Yun about his discovery yesterday. He went to the place where the wolf girl lived yesterday. Now that place has completely disappeared. Even the environment is different from what Xin Dechang remembered. It's not like a place was razed away, but it seems as if it has never appeared. The direction of the vegetation there shows no signs of destruction or modification, which is very weird.
Because of this matter, Xin Dechang even relied on his military merits to try to apply to a special department for inquiry, but in the end there was no result, and talented people in the private sector refused to accept his order, so it has been delayed until now.
"I went to the address you gave me, Director Su, but I couldn't see any traces there, so I have another guess." Che Xuming walked forward while knocking on the bushes around him with his sword, so as to scare away nearby snakes.
"You say." Su Yun, who was following behind and protected by other employees, answered loudly.
Che Xuming was not vague and said directly: "I guess that the position of the wolf girl was fake. She used magic to create a scene there, just like many illusions created by demons and ghosts to deceive people. Once they left, it naturally returned to the original scene."
Su Yun thought for a long time after hearing this: "According to your statement, it is somewhat consistent with the story circulating in Canglong Village. They showed up there with a purpose from the beginning, and naturally had to leave after finishing their business. Perhaps not only Chen Zhenjie can't come back, but even Miss Wolf can't fulfill her promise to him."
So the separation became a farewell forever, and no one was able to fulfill the promise they had made.
No matter what the speculation is, if it is not confirmed that the wolf girl said it herself, we have to find the person involved to answer. Even if the person cannot be found, there must be a life or death, or other eyewitnesses, to give an explanation to the heroic spirit and to each other.
Canglongzhai is actually on the very clear Sichuan-Tibet line, which is even clearer than the provincial dividing line. After seeing it, Che Xuming directly found yellow paper and a brush to draw a picture. It can be seen that An Jinghe taught him the basic skills very well. He didn't calculate well about Mo Qingtao's matter back then, which was partly because he was young.
Su Yun was also forced by Su Yiling and Ji Weitang to learn a lot of basic knowledge. However, she had only started learning for a short time and usually worked in the funeral home, so she only knew things related to ghosts. When it came to things like monsters and reading tombs and underground veins, she was not as good as Che Xuming, a professional student.
Under Che Xuming's pen, the mountain range that originally ran in a straight line became winding and rugged, gradually taking on a twisted dragon shape.
Dragons in ancient times did not have a completely unified shape. There were even clawless dragons. When drawn, they looked like snakes with horns on their heads. The image that circulated during the Shang and Zhou dynasties was a dragon with its head and tail connected, and was called a ring dragon.
The jade pendant on Su Yun's folding fan is a black and white jade carving of a dragon with its head and tail connected, collectively known as a dragon jade pendant.
Later, with the clarification and integration of culture, something similar to the ring dragon appeared - Jiao. It is often the image that appears after a snake has practiced and broken through, and can eventually transform into a Jiao dragon, which can be regarded as a metamorphosis of development.
Therefore, by looking at the ground veins and dragon veins, we can determine the approximate age by their shapes. To explain it with modern science, the movement of land plates will cause different ground environments, and thus we can infer how many years ago the movement caused the current image.
Che Xuming drew about two pictures. At this time, they had walked nearly a hundred kilometers, all following Che Xuming. The magical thing was that they did not encounter any particularly bumpy places along the way. Even if there was no road, it was extremely flat.
It was almost midnight when the painting was completed. This time they were well prepared. In addition to the fire, they also had lights, tents and sleeping bags, so they didn't have to endure another whole night.
The lamp is difficult to charge, and the large capacity will gradually be used up underground. There is no sunlight underground, and the batteries are used up one by one. However, in order to see the picture clearly, I can only turn on the brightest light.
Che Xuming placed the blueprints on the small table he brought with him and explained to them, "I drew two maps based on the ground veins and mountains I saw these two days. I can't tell which one has the dragon vein, and the terrain doesn't look like someone would build a tomb underground."
"What do you mean?" Su Yun asked after taking a picture with his mobile phone.
"Let's look at this map first. Canglongzhai is probably at the location of Nilin. The name is very accurate. Judging from the direction of this dragon vein, it was formed a long time ago. Generally speaking, there would be very thick rocks underneath, which are not easy to excavate. Even if there were many skilled craftsmen in ancient times, how could such a large tomb be dug out in the Tibetan area?" Che Xuming said while annotating the map.
Su Yun dug out the knowledge points that had been crammed into his head from his mind: "Oh, so, if this place is to be a tomb, it must be at least two thousand years old, right?"
Che Xuming nodded and took out a second smaller picture: "This one is much smaller. It looks like a new dragon vein. Mount Everest is getting higher. It's not surprising that this happens. It overlaps with the old dragon vein. But according to this picture, the position of Canglongzhai is very awkward. It's neither up nor down. It's not even a tail. It can't be considered a hidden dragon at all."
This kind of overlapping and related places are the ugliest. Even the Feng Shui may affect each other. If you don't handle it properly, no matter how good the Feng Shui is, it will become a pit that will cut off your descendants due to the conflict.
Su Yun looked at the two pictures and then at Lin Lang who was putting firewood into the fire: "Lin Lang, what do you think?"
As a student of the same major, Lin Lang should know these things too.
“Maybe you have overlooked one thing. The Tibetans’ beliefs prevent them from building tombs. So if there are any, they can only be in old dragon veins, which may be more than two thousand years old.” Lin Lang said, pointing to the even larger old dragon vein on the blueprint.
The Buddhism in Tibetan areas is different from that in other places. Many people think that what Tibetans believe in is not Buddha, but their independent belief, which some people contemptuously call Lamaism. Although it means monks when translated, it is different from other Buddhisms and can even be said to be independent. There is a feeling that the local environment and water nurture the local gods.
Su Yun suddenly realized: "Yes, Tibetans believe in Buddhism, and many people come here to make pilgrimages. However, in this place, monks will send their bodies to high pagodas. In ancient times, monks would carve patterns and scriptures on their skin to make thangkas. Bones were used to make basins or toba, and there was also the custom of sky burial. Due to geographical reasons, there are no cultural customs related to tombs."
