"Ah!" I suddenly woke up from my dream, and before I knew it, my back was covered in cold sweat.
Although this was just a nightmare, there was always a subtle feeling lingering in my mind. The voice in the dream seemed to be really guiding me to a certain place, a place full of bronze masks.
But where is this? When I was taking classes at the Central Academy of History, I considered myself proficient in ancient history, but I never knew which civilization used bronze masks for worship, and there would be a pit full of thousands of masks.
With this question in mind, I went to the archives room on the second floor of Qilin the next day, but found nothing.
In the end, I didn’t care anymore, so I just stayed in the archives room with my companion, and in the morning I recited the methods for cracking the hidden weapons in the ancient tombs.
At noon, I read S-class national treasure files one after another, and at night I lit a lamp to understand the book "Thirty-Six Secrets of Moving Mountains and Reclaiming Seas" left to me by the old mayor.
Because after experiencing the battle of Yinxu, I finally understood the truth: to make iron, you need to be strong!
The more knowledge you have, the greater your chances of surviving in an ancient tomb with many traps. If I could have seen the Skyfire Glazed Tiles earlier, Professor Montenegro would not have been burned to death by the flames. If I could have discovered the weakness of that demon flower earlier, Yin Ling'er wouldn't have been scarred trying to save everyone.
It's all because I'm not strong enough yet, and I don't have the strength to protect everyone!
Every epiphany now may lead to one less sacrifice in the future. "Thirty-six Techniques for Moving Mountains and Reclamating Seas" divides tomb robbing into thirty-six levels, including dragon hunting, acupoint tapping, stargazing, qi gazing, and barrier breaking. Kill the tiger, slay the dragon, etc.
The ancestor Wen Tao even said boldly: If the descendants of the Li family can learn one or two levels, they will benefit endlessly in this life...
And now I can recite Xunlong Diancun by heart. A few months ago, I was stuck on stargazing. But after I witnessed Lao Jiang using a method that no one could think of, I found the star where the black bird fell. After understanding the entrance to Yin Xu, I suddenly realized it.
Many of the problems I encountered in the past have been solved, and I am currently studying the western realm of ‘Wang Qi’.
The so-called Wangqi refers to a tomb robber with high skills. If he looks at a mountain from a distance, he can tell at a glance how many ancient tombs there are on the mountain based on the aura of the mountain, and even which dynasty's ancient tombs are on which hill. , which peak is known very well!
This is because the ancients generally chose geomantic sites when choosing tombs. The aura emitted by geomantic sites is different from ordinary soil.
The Feng Shui treasure land that can give birth to an emperor will exude dragon energy.
A feng shui treasure land that allows future generations to become generals will exude tiger energy.
And a place where children and grandchildren are blessed and rich will exude treasure.
Therefore, in the tomb robbing business, a true expert will know if there is...
When I encounter a problem that I don’t understand, I will ask my teacher Lao Jiang.
However, Lao Jiang was very strict and said that "Thirty-six Techniques for Moving Mountains and Reclaiming Seas" is the secret of our Li family. Even if there is a pretty girl taking a bath in it, he, an outsider, will never plagiarize it.
I asked what if He Lanxue took a bath in the book?
Lao Jiang didn't speak this time, but took the initiative to ask me what I didn't understand, and he explained it.
Although Lao Jiang is a master against his disciples, the master does have two brushes. He will use various vivid examples to tell me how to watch Qi.
Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang's family was poor when he was a child. After his parents died, they were buried on the hillside with only a roll of straw mat. Coincidentally, there happened to be a mudslide that day, and his parents' bodies were washed to another place, and that place happened to be the Dragon Qi Temple. land.
It just so happened that the Yuan Dynasty was exhausted and the Han people were reviving. Three coincidences allowed the young Zhu Yuanzhang to go through many hardships and finally became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is the importance of dragon energy.
Another example is that a county magistrate named Lei Huan in the Jin Dynasty was visiting the back mountains one day when he accidentally discovered a faint purple and green air emerging from the floating clouds, and it came from an abandoned canyon. When he went back to drink tea, he accidentally mentioned it to his husband. The husband was shocked and said that there was a treasure there! After hearing this, Lei Huan led his men to dig three feet into the ground, and they found an unknown ancient tomb. There were two stone boxes in the ancient tomb. Each box contained a peerless sword, one was Longquan and the other was Tai'a. The night the sword was discovered, the purple and green qi in the sky disappeared. This is what is summarized in "Thirty-six Techniques for Moving Mountains and Seas": treasure qi.
With the help of Lao Jiang, I even forgot about food and sleep in studying. Only when my stomach growled unsatisfactorily, or when my companion gave me a pitiful look, indicating that I was hungry and wanted to eat meat, I would Then he would take him to the cafeteria to have a meal.
The old Xia Tou in the archives initially stayed away from Banban, and even protested why Qilin would let a thousand-year-old zombie walk around? If this bites someone and sucks blood, who is responsible?
But when the companion showed his obedient appearance, his handsome facial features, and his two grinning teeth, he immediately captured the heart of this sixty-year-old childless old man.
He would make a pot of tea every day and talk to his companion about his family's shortcomings, regardless of whether he understood or not.
Even the stolen small cauldron was given to Banban, and he often brought raw beef from the canteen to teach Banban how to make a fire to cook the meat.
"Little wolf, I heard that your mother is a good woman, but you Shang Dynasty people eat with your hands? Is that the case with a good woman too?"
"The meat must be cooked before you can eat it. Sprinkle some peppercorns on it. Do you want some bean juice?"
"Well, if I had a grandson, he would probably be as old as you and that brat Li Jinglan."
Although Old Xia Tou is on the same side as me, we all face a problem, that is, Banbang was picked up from a wolf den by a good woman, and was raised with the milk of a female wolf. Calls himself 'Wolf Handsome'.
Therefore, he has a natural wolf nature. Whenever night falls and he sees the moon outside the window, he will squat there, raise his neck and howl "woo" and "woo".
The voice became louder and louder from time to time, like the Wolf King coming from an extremely cold place, full of unyielding and unruly.
But for others, it was a disaster. In the past few days, Qilin members were looking up and down to find the source of the sound. Shen Xiaoyu even had a pair of panda eyes, banging on the door of the archives room and shouting: " Li Jinglan, I know you are inside. For the sake of saving your life, please let me go! Let that zombie stop screaming in the middle of the night."
I know that continuing like this is really not the answer. One day, Banban will be expelled.
First, Lao Jiang found a small bronze rattle from somewhere and asked me to coax my partner to sleep every night and stop rattling when she fell asleep. This temporarily alleviated the crisis...
I thought that after becoming an official member of Qilin, I would receive one mission after another, so that I could practice the skills I have learned these days! But contrary to expectations, I still wiped the badge on my chest like an idler in the building.
Lao Jiang also took some time off. In his words: It has been strangely quiet in various places recently. Domestic and foreign tomb robbing forces have ceased operations one by one, and few large tombs have been unearthed. Even the mysterious organization that was against us in Lei Town before , it seemed as if the world had evaporated and completely disappeared.
There must be a huge storm brewing behind this short-lived peace! And we can only wait quietly for the storm to come.
