There is a feng shui master in Chenghua County, Yuan Shouxin, who met a master in his early years, learned the art of feng shui and dragon hunting points, and was quite famous in Fang Baili, and the people often came to invite him for funerals.
This year, a foreign master Zhao Qu came to Chenghua County, bought a large mansion with three entrances, entertained the squires and made friends.
Yuan Shouxin also received an invitation, so he brought gifts and went to the banquet.
During the banquet, Zhao Qu was quite attentive to Yuan Shouxin and kept persuading him to drink.
After the evening banquet dispersed, Zhao Qu asked Yuan Shouxin to stay and said: "I heard that Master Yuan is a feng shui master, and he has made great achievements in finding dragon points, I don't know if it is true or not?" ”
Yuan Shouxin was drunk and couldn't help but say, "Then there is still a fake?" Everyone in the county knows what I'm capable of. ”
Zhao Qu said with a smile: "There are many ancient monuments in this county, and there must be many ancient tombs, right?" ”
Yuan Shou said: "Of course! The county has a long history, with groups of ancient tombs, even as far as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties! ”
Zhao Qu's eyes flashed: "Where is the ancient tomb of Shang Zhou?" ”
"Just... It's just outside the city Lingquan Mountain..."
"Where is Lingquan Mountain?"
At this time, Yuan Shouxin refused to speak anymore, although he was drunk, he still had a trace of reason, he only said that he couldn't remember, and went home to sleep.
The next day, Yuan Shouxin woke up, vaguely remembering last night's conversation, and his heart was alert.
Later, Zhao Qu often approached Yuan Shouxin and asked him where the ancient tomb was, but Yuan Shouxin kept silent, only saying that he had forgotten.
On this day, Yuan Shouxin was stepping in the Lingquan Mountain, and suddenly saw several people sneaky, seemingly looking for something.
His heart tightened, and he hurriedly hid his whereabouts and followed a few people, until he finally figured out the intentions of several people, and then quietly went back down the mountain.
After arriving home, he urgently found a few trusted relatives and friends: "I went up the mountain today and found that there were several people with strange whereabouts, I am afraid that I am looking for the ancient tomb of Shang Zhou, and I must not let them succeed!" ”
A few people: "How is that good?" ”
Yuan Shou said: "While they haven't found a position yet, let's start first!" ”
So several people prepared hoes and shovels, and under the leadership of Yuan Shouxin, they went out day and night, and soon dug a robbery hole to dig up the passage of the ancient tomb, and transported the antiques inside to the outside one by one to hide.
When those people finally found the ancient tomb and reported Zhao Qu, he rushed to the scene to take a look, opened the passage, and found that there was nothing inside, and there was a robbery hole that was still newly dug.
"You trash! After looking for seven or eight days, I told others to get there first! ”
He rolled his eyes and suddenly nodded: "It must have been Yuan Shouxin who discovered my intentions, and only then did he steal the antiques before me!" I'm going to tell him to spit out the antiques! ”
Zhao Qu pondered hard and finally decided on a plan.
On this day, he found the county prince Wang Fuguan and conspired: "Lord Wang, there is a business in the next place, and after the matter is completed, it will be divided into fifty-five taels, and you can get tens of thousands of taels of silver, can the adults be interested?" ”
Wang Fuguan was originally a person who loved money as much as his life, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up: "Hurry up and I'll listen!" ”
Zhao channel: "I found a Shangzhou ancient tomb in the Lingquan Mountain in this county, there are gold, silver, bronze and other artifacts in the tomb, worth ten thousand gold, but now it is secretly excavated by Yuan Shouxin, as long as you catch Yuan Shouxin, torture him, not afraid that he will not recruit, when the treasure falls into the hands of adults, won't you dispose of it as you want?" ”
When Wang Fuguan heard this, he squinted and smiled: "It's a good business without a foundation!" ”
Zhao Qu said earnestly: "It's not a secret, I also understand some of the art of feng shui, in the future, I can find ancient tombs for adults, with your protection, I will dig, let's add two to five, and when the adults are transferred, they will definitely make a lot of money..."
Wang Fuguan laughed and said, "Good, good!" Just do it! I'll go and arrest Yuan Shouxin for interrogation!" ”
In this way, Yuan Shouxin fell from the sky and was rushed into his home by a team of servants, pressing him to the ground and unable to move.
"Why are you arresting me! Let me go! ”
"Yuan Shouxin, you have stolen the ancient tomb, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, hurry up and follow us back to the county to be tried!"
Yuan Shouxin was escorted back to the county office, but under Wang Fuguan's interrogation, he refused to confess, was beaten twenty times, and was imprisoned in the county prison.
At night, Yuan Shouxin was lying in prison moaning, and the hot pain in his butt made him unable to sleep.
Suddenly, a figure walked in at the door, and Yuan Shouxin looked up and saw that it was Zhao Qu.
Zhao channel: "Yuan Shouxin, I know that the antiques in that ancient tomb have been taken away by you, as long as you say where they are hidden, don't you have to suffer?" ”
Yuan Shouxin took a sip: "You don't think about it!" I have long seen that you are not a good person and want to hit the idea of ancient tombs! I'm sure I didn't do it, and you have no evidence, what else can you do to me? ”
After Zhao Qu listened, his expression was bright: "Toast and don't eat and punish wine, you wait!" There is a time when you speak! ”
When it was time to open the meal, Yan Yan sent a bowl of prison rice with only a few pieces of green vegetables, and Yuan Shouxin had just eaten it, and Zhao Qu suddenly appeared with an evil smile.
"Yuan Shouxin, the meal you just ate is highly toxic, if you don't say where the antiques are, you will die of poison, hahaha!"
Yuan Shouxin's expression changed greatly, and then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, covering his stomach and rolling on the ground in pain.
"Speak quickly! If you say it, it will give you the antidote! ”
"Good, good, good! I say! The antique is in the cave west of Mashou Mountain in the south of the city, where there are three cypress trees and two poplars! ”
"Hahaha! Call your mouth hard! This is the antidote, wait until I take the baby and let you out. ”
Zhao Qu dropped a porcelain bottle and happily walked out of the cell.
After he walked away, Yuan Shouxin picked up the porcelain bottle, there was no painful expression on his face, and he said to himself: "I'm afraid that you will not return!" ”
Zhao Qu took a few of his cronies to Mashou Mountain, found the cave, carefully entered the cave to investigate, and when he reached the bottom of the cave, he found many large wooden boxes.
He stepped forward excitedly, opened the box to check it, but suddenly touched the mechanism, "Snap! With a bang, the feet shook, and several people fell into a deep pit!
There were long arrows standing in the pit, and several people were stabbed, although the injuries did not cause death, but they still hurt to death, and they couldn't stop moaning.
"This damn Yuan Shouxin! Design hurts me! ”
Zhao Qu was covered in blood on his legs and cursed loudly.
Several people finally endured the pain, crawled out of the deep pit, simply bandaged their wounds, supported each other, and limped down the mountain.
Lang Zhong looked at the wounds of several people and shook his head: "The arrow is poisonous, taking medicine can save your life, but the poison has entered the body, you need to recuperate, you can't be too emotional, otherwise the poisonous gas will attack the heart, and there will be no luck in returning." ”
Several people hurriedly nodded, took the soup medicine, and went home to recuperate.
A few days later, Zhao Qu limped to the cell, and said with an angry eyebrow: "Good you Yuan Shouxin!" You dare to harm me with a trap! ”
Yuan Shouxin said with a smile: "Don't be too excited, if you get hit by my poison, you will die of poisonous gas when you are excited!" ”
Zhao Qu was immediately frightened and refused to relent: "Okay, I'll ask Lord Wang to fabricate charges and sentence you to death!" ”
Yuan Shouxin's expression was as steady as Mount Tai: "Let me tell you one more thing, my poison was carefully made by me, and only I have a real antidote under the whole world." You can temporarily save your life by taking the decoction, but it will be poisoned every three years, when the wound will fester, life is better than death, without my antidote, you will not live for three years. ”
Zhao Qu's face changed drastically: "What! You! ”
Yuan Shouxin said disdainfully: "I advise you to let me go, once I die, you have no antidote to save your life, and you will definitely die of poison in three years." ”
Zhao Quqiang endured his anger, helpless, and flicked his sleeves away.
The next day, Yuan Shouxin was released by Wang Fuguan.
Zhao Qu didn't dare to gamble, if it was really as Yuan Shouxin said, wouldn't he be destined to return to Xitian after three years? So he hurriedly ran to Wang Fuguan and asked Wang Fuguan to temporarily release Yuan Shouxin, and think of another way to do the antiques.
Although Yuan Shouxin safely left the county jail, he found that there were people behind him who were sneakily following, needless to say, it must have been sent by Zhao Qu to monitor his whereabouts, wanting to find the antiques.
But his steps were unhurried, wandering around, walking around, and did not return home until dark, and then lived in seclusion, so that Zhao Qu could not find out.
Later, while sending people to keep an eye on Yuan Shouxin, Zhao Qu also wandered around the county, stealing ancient tombs under the protection of Wang Fuguan and selling the stolen money.
Zhao Qu often took his apprentices, and the two dressed as farmers or hunters during the day to discover the location of the ancient tomb, and quietly went to dig at night.
Even if someone found that the ancient tomb was stolen and reported it to the county prince Wang Fuguan, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reply.
Zhao Qu and his apprentice have a secret to robbing the tomb, that is, pretending to be black and white impermanent on the dark and windy night of the moon, and then the hoe shovel begins to dig.
In this way, even if it is occasionally discovered, it will scare people half to death, only thinking that they have bumped into black and white impermanence, and dare not speak up.
They spent more than three months in Chenghua County and gained a lot, a small part of which was contributed to Wang Fuguan, so they were able to be peaceful.
That night, the two pretended to be black and white impermanent and robbed tombs in a wilderness tomb.
The apprentice panted and said, "Master, I wonder if I can ship some big goods tonight?" ”
Zhao channel: "Don't worry, I have looked carefully, this ancient tomb should be buried with the former dynasty officials, and the gold and silver treasures buried with it will definitely not be less!" ”
Suddenly, there was a dark wind all around, and then two figures appeared in the distance.
The apprentice whispered, "Master, Master!" There are two people there! ”
Zhao Qu took advantage of the moonlight, took a closer look, and saw two figures moving towards the two, wearing tall hats and black and white clothes.
"Huh? It turned out to be black and white impermanence? It must be peers, like us, who turned into impermanence to rob the tomb! In this way, the two of us hid and suddenly jumped out later, people are scary and scary, I don't believe they are not afraid! ”
Immediately, the two lurked in the bushes, their eyes fixed on the two.
The two walked to the ancient tomb with their footsteps, looked at each other, and muttered something they didn't know what they were talking about.
Seeing this, Zhao Qu and his apprentice exchanged a look, and suddenly jumped out from the bushes and shouted: "Who is pretending to be the black and white second master!" ”
The two heard the shouts and turned to look at Zhao Qu and the two.
Zhao Qu saw the two, one dressed in white, full of smiles, tall and thin, pale, with a long tongue in his mouth, and an official hat on his head that said "Fortune at first sight".
One was dressed in black, with a fierce face, a wide body and a fat body, a small black face, and an official hat with the words "Peace under the World".
The two turned their heads to look at Zhao Qu and his apprentice grimly, and said with ghost tears in their mouths: "Who is pretending to be the two of me~"
Zhao Qu saw that the two were not afraid and panicked at all, their hearts tightened, and the apprentice also stammered: "Master... Master...... Could it be that they are real..."
At this time, that Bai Impermanence turned his head, flicked the long tongue in his mouth, just put it on Zhao Qu's shoulder, and said with a ghost smile: "Why impersonate me..."
Zhao Qu was shocked, reached out and touched the long tongue on his shoulder, cold and wet, sure enough, it was like a fake tongue, no better than the fake tongue drawn with paper on his mouth.
"The two... The two masters... My master and apprentice offended the two... Please forgive me too! ”
Zhao Qu was so frightened that he plopped down on his knees, and the apprentice also hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, cold sweat.
Hei Impermanence's voice was hoarse: "You two, pretending to be me Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujian and the two ghosts, should be considered a capital crime." ”
Bai Wuxian said, "It's too busy tonight, and I'll come tomorrow night to seduce the souls of the two of you." ”
Zhao Qu and his apprentice trembled with fright, and couldn't stop kowtowing: "The two masters spare their lives!" Don't dare anymore! Don't dare anymore! ”
After kowtowing for a while, when he looked up, he found that black and white impermanence did not know when he had left.
"Walk, go!"
Zhao Qu and his apprentice left the guy and ran home, frightened and seriously ill.
At night the next day, the two were close together and did not dare to sleep, for fear that black and white impermanence would come to ask for their lives.
Zhao Qu was extremely afraid, his mood fluctuated too much, the poisonous gas in his body attacked his heart, and by dawn, he had vomited blood and died, but his apprentice was unscathed, but he was frightened, and he never dared to walk at night again.
Yuan Shouxin heard about Zhao Qu's death and said with a smile: "This is called evil and evil retribution." ”
Immediately he instructed his wife: "Don't waste those pig tongues, wash them and stir-fry a plate, and my brother and I will drink and eat!" ”
It turned out that Yuan Shouxin opposed the first army and went out day and night to follow Zhao Qu and the two, knowing that the two of them often pretended to be black and white impermanent to rob tombs in the middle of the night.
So he found his short and fat cousin, and the two also pretended to be black and white impermanent, deliberately appearing when Zhao Qu and the two robbed the tomb.
People are scary and scary to death, Zhao Qu was already poisonous gas, was so frightened by him, the poisonous gas attacked the heart, and soon died.
And his fake tongue, which pretends to be white and impermanent, turned out to be made of several pig tongues sewn together, so it looks realistic.
The cousin asked Yuan Shouxin: "Cousin, is your poison really so powerful?" Will it be poisoned every three years? ”
Yuan Shouxin smiled and said, "Haha, I coaxed him, otherwise he wouldn't have let me out of the county jail." ”
"So you really ate poisonous food?"
"Don't I know his tricks? I just pretended to be poisoned to deceive him, but he later fell into my poison, which I call fighting poison with poison! ”
"And where are the antiques?"
Yuan Shouxin said mysteriously: "The most dangerous places are often the safest. ”
In the middle of the night, the two quietly came to the Shang Zhou Ancient Tomb, opened the robbery hole and entered the ancient tomb, and dug a few hoes in the corner, revealing many bronzes.
It turned out that after Zhao Qu discovered that the ancient tomb was stolen, Yuan Shouxin immediately transported the antiques back and hid them in their original place.
Zhao Qu never dreamed that the treasure he wanted to get was actually always in place.
Later, Yuan Shouxin spread remarks in the county, saying that the county prince Wang Fuguan and tomb robbers were complicit in stealing many ancient tombs and selling many antiques.
The rumor reached the ears of the prefect, and soon sent people to investigate, and there was a frightened disciple of Yuan Shou who testified, and the evidence was conclusive, Zhao Qu lost his black hat and was sent to the frontier to do hard labor.
And Yuan Shouxin sold a batch of gold and silver antiques, turned his eyes to a rich man, and lived a life as a master.
