Chapter 6 Ghost Yamen
Next to the root of the tree that was knocked down by a bear, half a stone statue was buried in the soil, causing a rare tiger-headed beast face, a beast-headed and human body, a helmet on its head, and a stone axe decorated with human heads in both hands. It has an extraordinary demeanor, but its face is very ferocious. When the swallow saw the stone statues with tiger-headed and human bodies, she immediately thought of an ancient legend in the mountain, and didn't care about cleaning up the bear skin and bear flesh. She said to us in surprise: "That seems to be a stone statue of a mountain ghost. This forest is probably the ghost yamen in the mountains. Let's run away quickly."
The legend of "Ghost Yamen" has been circulating in the dense forest at the westernmost end of the Greater Xing'an Mountains for many years. It is said that it is a secret entrance to the Yama Hall in the world. There are hunters who lost their way in the mountains. Once they mistakenly enter the "Ghost Yamen", they will unconsciously walk into the underworld and become lonely ghosts and will never return to the sun. However, in the past hundred years, few people have seen it again.
The biggest feature of the "Ghost Yamen" is that there is a tiger-headed and human-body mountain ghost guarding in front of the door. Of course, no one can verify the legends in the mountains from which dynasty or dynasty. However, the ghost story of entering the "Ghost Yamen" and walking into the Yama Hall makes people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts. In addition, hunters are naturally awe of the mountains, so the swallows panic and just want to urge us to leave quickly.
Fatty and I have heard that legend, and I also know that it is not suitable to stay for a long time when things are wrong. However, I was not scared by a stone statue with a tiger's head and human body. I comforted the swallow a few words, "Ghost Door"? They are all legacy of feudal society. How can we be afraid of these? But I was thinking at the same time that I must first clarify the situation in front of me before making plans.
The bear cave was originally a semi-closed natural cave under a dead tree. It was just because the human bear was chasing and pounced on people and uprooted a red pine that was in the way. The red pine happened to be near the bear cave. The roots of the tree were lifted and the underground soil collapsed, revealing a half-stone beast that was hidden in the soil. As for the nonsense of the "Ghost Office" in the Hutou Mountain Ghost Guard, I don't believe it. In my opinion, the tiger-headed warrior stone figurine is most likely a statue used to guard the tomb in front of the ancient tomb. However, at that time, I was still very concerned about the Five Elements Feng Shui and the layout of the tomb, so I dare not assert it. I was just curious. Since I discovered these strange-shaped stone humans and stone beasts, what's the fun if I didn't take the opportunity to explore this strangeness?
I advised Yanzi not to rush back to the forest farm. It would be better to go there to find where the "Ghost Door" is and see where the tiger's head stone figurines are placed. If there are buildings such as temples and tombs in the mountains, they should be roughly on the "Yellow Skin Tomb". The ancient magnetic bowls and golden beans that were made of yellow skin may be obtained from the so-called "Ghost Door". If we can find those treasures, we will make great contributions to supporting the world revolution.
Yanzi stomped his feet and said, "Don't mess around. I'm not guarding the forest farm and secretly coming out to hunt bears with you. I've made a mistake. When I go back, I will inevitably be criticized by the old branch secretary. If I have to do something else, how can I explain to the old branch secretary?"
The fat man was thinking about the gold in his heart and also helped me talk to Yanzi. We both said to Yanzi: "Swallow, don't be so afraid of the old branch secretary? No matter how big his position is, he just has the final say in the village. Moreover, we are not making any mistakes. We are supporting the world revolution now. Although guarding the forest farm is our job, don't forget that the highest instruction is that we cannot suppress the revolution with production. In the face of the torrent of revolutionary struggle, work must be thrown aside. The branch secretary's words are not easy to do. What are you hesitating about? Don't forget that this is the final struggle. The ironclad must be successful while the iron is hot. If it is too late, the red flag will be planted all over the world, and you won't be able to do anything."
We were so exaggerated that the swallow was speechless. She was confused when she heard it. So we just made up our minds and just do whatever we wanted. So we immediately took action, threw down the bear skin and flesh for the time being and stopped caring about it. We only wrapped the bear paw and bear galls around us. The fat man suddenly remembered where the wooden cage was closed to the "Huang Xian Gu"? Just now the bear fell from the tree and broke a large piece of red pine, which hit the grass nest where we were staying. At that time, we were just concerned about dodging and escaping, and threw the wooden cage in chaos. Now we really don't remember it. Although the yellow skin is small, it has two taels of meat, not to mention that the "Huang Xian Gu"'s skin is smooth and smooth, it can be exchanged for ten kilograms of fruit candy. It is a bit reluctant to throw it away easily.
After searching around the broken red pine, I found that the wooden cage had long been smashed away by the pine branches, and the cage was empty. "Huang Xian Gu" had already escaped, and the fat man was so angry that he cursed.
I remember that the hind legs of "Huang Xian Gu" were firmly tied by iron wire. Even if the cage was broken, it could not break free from the shackles. At most, it crawled out with two front paws to escape. The yellow-skinned man ran away with the strength of the hind limbs, so it could not escape too far. Thinking of me, I hurriedly looked up and looked around. In addition to the messy footprints when we fought with the bears, there was indeed a thick mark on the snow. "Huang Xian Gu" must have escaped here and followed this trace. I could see a furry thing next to the tiger-headed human-body stone figurine crawling desperately. It was "Huang Xian Gu" who escaped from the squirrel cage.
Seeing that it had not escaped, we immediately became energetic and chased after it like a gust of wind. The "Huang Xiangu" was crawling hard towards the yellow-skinned grave with two front paws. It found that someone was chasing from behind, so it got into a hole next to the stone figurine and disappeared.
We chased afterwards and saw that there was a tunnel under the feet of the demon demon in Hutou Mountain. The water and soil have changed a lot over time and have been covered by soil and pine branches. When the ancient pine above fell, a small gap appeared in the tunnel, and the inside was so dark that it was so dark that it could not be seen clearly. "Huang Xian Gu" escaped into this small gap.
The fat man angrily kicked the mud wall beside the hole with his feet. After a few kicks, the soil on the tunnel wall was kicked down. A large hole was revealed in the pit left behind after the ancient tree was pulled out. A gust of wind came out from it, squirting coldly on people's faces. It seemed that the air was smooth and there must be another outlet at the far end.
Even the fat man didn't expect the earth wall to be so unbearable. I quickly stopped him. It seemed that the deep hole at the entrance of the hole was not a tunnel, but the operation path excavated between the mud and stones was not strong and could collapse at any time. I didn't know where it was, so I quickly found some pine branches and lit a few torches to light it, and drilled into the black hole behind the hole to explore.
The hole is very narrow, and it may be possible to creep and crawl forward before moving forward, but we are reluctant to wear the sleeves, so we can only stumble to the front, and then squat down and move forward a little bit. When we shine with the firelight, we found that there are still traces of weapon excavation in the four walls of the hole. I am currently opening the way, and the fat man followed closely with a long-handled mountain-opening axe, and the swallow held another torch and dragged the hunting rifle pad.
We don’t know where the tide and cold ground hole leads to. We are extremely puzzled. My grandfather was a Feng Shui master because he knew the secret technique of finding dragons back then. He was quite famous in the province and made many fellow Yin-Yang Feng Shui masters. Among those people, there were also many tomb robbers engaged in "fighting" business. From him, I learned that the most powerful tomb robbers is the "Gold-Touching Captain". The "Gold-Touching Captain" can look at the shape of a mountain and observe the earth veins inside, divide the gold-defining cave and hit the yellow dragon directly. The so-called "Gold-Touching Captain" is to dig a hidden and accurate tunnel, bypassing the copper wall and iron coffin, and directly penetrate the tomb chamber with secret tools in the golden well. Perhaps the cave we are drilling now is a treasure robber tunnel dug by tomb robbers.
However, I quickly denied this possibility myself. The mud hole was narrow and short, starting from the foot of the tiger-head stone figurine. After walking for more than ten meters, I reached the end. However, it was not a tomb with ancient corpses and secret treasures. It was a rather old bluestone door buried in the soil, which seemed to have flying eaves and brackets on it. However, the cave only dug out the part of the stone door, and it was impossible to distinguish it carefully for a while. The stone door was divided into two, half open and half closed, and there was a large door crack in it. There was a stone pillar on both sides, confronting each other, with ancient dragon patterns and sun and moon phenomena, which were peeled off. This at least shows that the stone building in the cave used to exist on the ground. It was eroded by natural factors such as wind, rain, and sun.
Fatty and I both guessed that this was probably an ancient temple. It was buried in the soil under the influence of geology. Even the pine trees on it grew so thick. I don’t know when it was time to go out. In short, it is inevitable. How can I not go in and take a look when I arrive at the door? After entering, I will come out as if there is anything good. If there is nothing, I will brush two slogans for him to think that the four old ones are broken.
Yan Zi said that this designation is the "Ghost Door". The 80% behind the door is the Hell Palace in the Underworld. Let's go back and forth. No matter what there is inside, don't go in. I said to Yan Zi: "This cave is so short and there is no other exit. Huang Xian Gu must have crawled into this stone gate. We will come in and catch it and come back. If we can't catch it last night, wouldn't it be a waste of time and we can't change the fruit candy. Don't you want to eat candy?"
Yan Zi swallowed: "How can I not want to eat candy? In fact, fruit candy is not as delicious as the milk candy brought by educated youth from the city..." The fat man was anxious to capture "Huang Xian Gu". Before I could do my ideological work, he squeezed over from us and touched the stone gate first. I was afraid that there would be any unexpected danger inside, and worried that the fat man would be alone, so he called Yan Zi to follow him quickly.
The light of the torch became light and dark due to our rapid movement. When the light and darkness were combined, I had already seen clearly that there was no soil behind the door. It was a very spacious stone hall. There were stone pillars and stone tables in the hall. The statues of the clay sculptures on both sides were upside down. The corners were covered with thick spider webs and dust. There was a lot of chaos everywhere. The torch was very limited in its light, and it was hard to see where the "Huang Xian Gu" was hiding.
The three of them came in at the same time, and there was a lot of noise. Someone had some dust falling, which made us choke and coughed. It was finally settled. When we looked at each other, we found that the other party was covered in dust and in a very embarrassing manner.
When the fat man had just drilled through the tunnel several meters long, his legs and feet were sore because the hole was low and narrow. When he entered the stone hall, he could at least relax his muscles and blood circulation. He quickly stretched his arms and legs and found that a large piece of dust fell from his dog-skin hat. There was a round wooden pier like a tree stump near the door. He took off his hat and dusted it on the wooden pier. Then he sat on it and said to me: "I'll just block it and use a man to keep it off. It's not enough to fly the little yellow skin. Old Hu, go everywhere to find out where it is hidden. I drove it out and let me peel it alive. But I think this big house seems to have a back door. It's troublesome if it's going to go through the back door. Swallow quickly go to the back door to guard..."
Since I entered the strange stone hall, I was curious about everything inside. I had long left the arrest of "Huang Xian Gu" behind my head. When the fat man reminded me, I remembered that I was about to look for it, but I saw the swallow hurriedly pull the fat man away from the stump. The swallow said to us: "I told you that you don't believe it. This is the ghost yamen. Everyone in the mountains knows that the stump in the forest cannot be sat because it is the dining table of the Tiger God. If a mortal sits, it will cause disaster and cause trouble. Why do you just sit there?"
The fat man raised his foot and stepped on the wooden pen and smiled: "Now the satellites are all in the sky, the atomic bomb has exploded, and the poor are liberated. No matter what the divine prince's dining table and altar are all in the old society. Now, the hard-working people regard it as a mattress, which is worthy of it. If I am happy, maybe I will urinate on it."
I pushed the fat man away and joked to him, "Don't be fucking bullshit. The working people cannot urinate or defecate anywhere. Besides, you don't look in the mirror. When did you have a fat thief like you in the team of the working people? You will be exposed when you see your belly. No need to ask, you must be a bad guy who has penetrated into our working people."
What puzzled me the most was that this stone temple was used for, especially why there was such a tree stump at the door. If you wanted to find out the secret, you had to look carefully. So I pushed the fat man who was in trouble aside, squatted down and took a torch to take a look. When I looked, I found that the stump-like wooden stump was indeed a big hall with ancient patterns and many strange symbols that I couldn't understand. The most peculiar thing was that there was a human figure in ancient women's clothing in the middle of the wooden stump. The figure had no head, but a weasel face. The yellow-skinned face had a traitorous smile on its face, which was very disgusting. The strange expression seemed to have an invisible force field that grabbed people's hearts, making people feel cold in their sweat pores at a glance. I thought it was not good, and I was afraid that I would have entered the yellow-skinned nest this time.
