I was an alchemist in those years

To live is to eat, but when I came out, I suddenly realized that I didn’t know anything. I slept on bridge piers, picked up other people’s leftover dry food, and drank water with dirt, but I finally survived. When I arrived in Yuzhou It's three months later.

Yuzhou is a mountain city, and there are countless steps up and down. There is a profession called Bangbang here, which is to work hard to pick things for others to earn some money. Fortunately, apart from being good at Taoism, the rest is for me. There is no end to it.

I met Xiao Lianshan when I was on a truck bound for the outskirts of Yuzhou. A dozen or so sticks were crowded in the cargo box. They didn’t know each other. Xiao Lianshan was sitting next to me. Fortitude and vicissitudes that are rare at this age.

The car was parked in an unknown place on the outskirts. There were sporadic lights in the village in the distance. We were driven out of the car like a flock and then lined up. The person who picked us was Liu Hao, who had tattoos on his arms. He's not a serious person, but he's very generous. Everyone pays 50 yuan, and he even manages a meal.

As for why Liu Hao didn't say anything, everyone gave out two steamed buns after getting off the car, so that they could finish eating quickly so that they could do their work.

"Boss, what do you want us to do?" Someone asked curiously.

"Dig a well."

Liu Hao looked a little impatient, and just after he finished speaking, he saw the person with him lighting a cigarette, and rushed over without saying a word, cursing his head and face.

"Do you fucking have any brains? You can see clearly from a distance of cigarette butts. Are you afraid that others won't know we're here?"

From the first time I saw Liu Hao until now, I have always felt that this person is very anxious and nervous. I don't know why Liu Hao reacted so strongly to a cigarette, but there is one thing I can be sure of.

Liu Hao is lying, we are not here to dig wells.

From the moment I got off the car, I instinctively realized that the Fengshui here is very strange. I found a higher hill and climbed up.

Xiao Lianshan didn't talk much, he looked like a person who was busy with his work, he picked up the shovel to dig after eating the buns, and before the first shovel hit, I shouted loudly on the hill, I can't dig!

Everyone stared at me in surprise, Xiao Lianshan looked at me blankly and asked, why can't I dig?

"It's not digging a well, it's digging a grave!"

As soon as I spoke, I saw the corners of Liu Hao's eyes twitch slightly, and there was an imperceptible panic in his eyes.

"What the hell are you talking nonsense about? Which eye of yours saw the tomb here? What a master, don't say I won't warn you, stop talking nonsense, or I will bury you alive."

People who work in labor generally have little education and are timid. Of course they want to make money, but they all look at each other when they hear the grave digging. dare not move.

I always thought that what I learned in Qin Yishou's underground library was useless at all, but I didn't expect it to be used here. From my point of view, the land that Liu Hao asked us to dig is surrounded by fields, stretching together Tens of acres, the Mingtang is open, the mounds on the left are green and forested like a white tiger, and the back is leaning against three mountains. In the place where the heavens and the earth shine, the descendants buried here will surely have endless blessings.

"This is Qinglong Baoxue! It is a place of good geomantic omen. The place you asked us to dig is exactly where the treasure cave is. There must be a tomb below, and the people buried there are either rich or noble." I am very sure. explain.

Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, staring at me blankly, his eyes seemed to be a little surprised, but soon he regained his fierce face, the other sticks listened to what I said, and they all stood still, Liu Hao With a wave of hands, two people came up to surround me, still holding the rope in their hands. I thought that maybe I was right, Liu Hao wanted to seal my mouth, so he subconsciously clenched the bamboo stick in his hand.

Xiao Lianshan suddenly stood in front of me, and said with an upright face, if you have something to say, don't bully people because of the number of people. If it's really digging graves, I won't do it no matter how much money you give.

"Hey, today I met someone who is planning to draw his sword to help when the road is uneven." Liu Hao smiled coldly and nodded. "I tied both of them up and threw them into the car so they wouldn't get in the way."

Five or six people behind Liu Hao gathered around at the same time. Standing behind Xiao Lianshan, I suddenly found that there was no trace of fear on his face. As soon as the other party reached out, Xiao Lianshan grabbed his arm and pulled it back. The person staggered and was thrown several meters away, fell to the ground and couldn't get up, clutching his arms and shouting heart-piercingly, "It's broken, my hand is broken!"

As soon as Xiao Lianshan made a move, I realized why he was not afraid. I could see that he had practiced before. His moves were not only fast, but also ruthless. Three of the severed hands were already lying on the ground.

"Copy guy!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Liu Hao shouted loudly from behind.

The shining knife was particularly dazzling under the moonlight, exuding a penetrating chill, Xiao Lianshan straightened his chest without fear, and clenched his fists even tighter.

There is one thing in my mind that I still can't figure it out. If this is really Qinglong's lair, future generations will be blessed and blessed, and they will be blessed by blessings within a radius of ten miles. But the surrounding villages are barren and have no aura of wealth. Here I squatted on the ground and picked up a handful of soil and smelled it. There was a rotten sumac smell in the soil, mixed with a faint fragrance, and suddenly I realized it.

"Under your feet is the tomb of a woman from the Western Han Dynasty, but it would be useless to dig it. There will be nothing in it!" I said to Liu Hao confidently.

"..." Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, but said coldly without putting down the knife in his hand. "How do you know that the tomb below must be from the Western Han Dynasty and it must belong to a woman? You don't have clairvoyant eyes, so I will say nonsense."

"Make a bet, if there is nothing in the tomb of a Western Han woman, you let us go!" I said confidently.

Liu Hao's face was slow and dissatisfied. He put away the knife and took out a stack of money without saying a word. It was the first time I saw so much money when I grew up. Liu Hao put the money on the front of the car.

"Just dig here for me. Whether there is anything down here is my business. Just dig, and whoever digs will share the money!"

Seeing so much money, the other sticks turned green. Except for me and Xiao Lianshan, they all swarmed up and dug hard at the place designated by Liu Hao. Liu Hao sent people to watch me and Xiao Lianshan. That way, he let me go with Xiao Lianshan, if not, he wanted me to slap myself in front of everyone.

In less than two hours, the robbers dug a hole and directly led to the main tomb. It can be seen that Liu Hao is also an expert. He must have visited this place many times before, and the location of the tomb has been explored.

The person sent down climbed out after a while, wiped the muddy water on his face and watched Liu Hao dare not speak.

"Damn it, what's next?" Liu Hao asked eagerly.

"Yes! There is a tomb."

Liu Hao's eyes were shining when he heard the tomb, and he was staring at me triumphantly, when the person who went down to inquire added another sentence.

"But it's all destroyed. The three-meter-high tomb is full of water, and everything inside is soaked."

I saw Liu Hao sitting heavily on the ground like a discouraged ball. After being silent for a long time, he took out one of his eyes, took a deep breath and said to me reluctantly.

"You... how did you guess?"

I didn't guess it, the Qinglong Baoxue is a rare geomantic treasure, if someone is buried in it, it will be blessed with blessings within a radius of ten miles, but everywhere here is barren, there is only one possibility, the Fengshui of the tomb has been broken, Qinglong Baoxue Avoid water, Feng Shui says to store wind and gather qi, once it encounters water and enters the acupuncture point, the qi will disperse and escape, causing harm to ten miles.

Although I probably know that there is water in the tomb, I am still not sure. I smell the soil on the tomb again. It smells of rotten sumac tree mixed with a faint fragrance. Sumac tree is an important component used to make lacquerware, and lacquerware is buried with it It originated in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, lacquerware was extremely expensive, and ordinary people could not touch it, let alone used for burial. However, lacquerware is not easy to preserve. If the tomb is not sealed well, it is easy to rot. As for the fragrance in the soil, it is after the rouge meets water. Mixed together, evaporated and dissolved into the ground soil, it is not difficult to see that these are the tombs of women in the Western Han Dynasty.

After listening to me, Liu Hao was stunned. If it wasn't for the fact that the smoke burned his fingers and didn't react, he threw the smoke and jumped up from the ground. My first reaction was that he was so angry that he wanted to make a move. Xiao Lianshan dragged me behind him, and his fists Hold up.

Who knew that Liu Hao changed his face like flipping through a book, with a bright smile on his face, he stuffed the stack of money from the front of the car into my hand.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, hehe, I didn't realize that I'm still a master. Brother, you have no eyes today. Don't worry about offending places. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Make friends."

For the first time, I feel that money has weight. The heavy stack of money in my hand makes people feel an indescribable joy, but I know very well that I am short-handed. Besides, most of the money is not clean. Liu Hao is thinking What I know in my heart, he just wants me to help him find more tombs.

When I pushed the money back to Liu Hao, he somewhat surprised him.

"Does the bet count?"

Liu Hao took a deep breath, looked a little disappointed, waved his hand helplessly, his subordinates gave way, I walked forward without looking back, suddenly remembered the day when my finger was cut off by Qin Yi, I left like this, a long time later I regret not asking for the five yuan he gave me.

Many years later, when I recalled the past, I suddenly realized that the stack of money that Liu Hao gave me would make no difference whether I took it or not. My fate was doomed from the day I saw him. In fact, I was the first to ask for it. The person to thank should be Liu Hao. If I didn’t know him, maybe I’m still just a stick!
