Everyone was shocked. They looked up and saw only green pines and cypresses, vegetation and thorns. They had no idea where the stone came from.
Seeing the rocks still rolling down and his brothers being injured one after another, Chen Yulou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, and the roar of tigers immediately sounded in the mountains, causing birds to fly in disorder and all beasts to bow their heads.
The falling rocks also stopped for a moment.
Everyone was surprised when they saw this.
“My senior brother is good at oral skills and can learn thousands of sounds in the world, so he is named [Partridge Whistle].” Seeing this, the old foreigner smiled.
Xiang Nanze said, "If I'm not wrong, those fallen rocks should have been thrown by wild monkeys in the mountains. I just imitated the roar of tigers, which was just enough to scare them. But it can only stop them for a while, not for a lifetime."
When everyone heard what he said, they all suddenly understood, and then praised Xiang Nan's ability, which was indeed extremely brilliant.
…
Everyone continued to climb and finally came to the shoulder of Pingshan. They saw nearly a hundred wild monkeys trembling and shivering. They must have been frightened by the roar of the tiger just now.
But when they saw Xiang Nan, Chen Yulou and others climbing up the mountain, they couldn't help but scream strangely, and then they grabbed rocks and tried to throw them at them.
Because they often rob passers-by in the mountains, it has become a common practice to plunder them all, including corpses, clothes, and dry food. Therefore, they are only afraid of tigers and not of humans.
Seeing that the rain of stones was about to hit him again, Chen Yulou was a little at a loss for a moment.
Although he has some skills, he is still too far away from the monkeys and it is impossible to fight at close range. What's more, he relied on centipedes to hang up the mountain ladder to go up the mountain, but those wild monkeys were extremely agile and could walk across mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground.
In this dangerous place, fighting them, I can't exert any strength, I can only be passively beaten.
At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly took out two twenty-ring mirror boxes and pulled the triggers one after another. The sound of bullets being fired pierced the sky, and with every gunshot, a monkey fell down from the tree.
The Partridge Whistle is a sharpshooter. He can shoot out incense from a hundred steps away. It is really a perfect shot. What's more, Xiang Nan also inherited the marksmanship skills of James Bond and Jason Bourne, making his marksmanship even more accurate without any mistakes.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, twenty monkeys were killed with twenty rounds of bullets, and each one was killed with one shot. It was a clean death.
The rest of the monkeys, big and small, were petrified with fear. They hugged the tree branches and stared motionless, as if they were wood carvings and clay sculptures. Some of them were so frightened that they excreted and urinated, with monkey urine dripping from their front and back.
In the end, I don’t know which monkey was the leader. He screamed and fled deep into the forest with his life. Once he went there, he never dared to come back again.
“Good marksmanship!” Seeing this marksmanship, Chen Yulou couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Other thieves from Xiling were also filled with admiration.
When we reach the shoulder of the bottle, the terrain eases a bit and everyone takes a rest. "Brother, look, the plants here are really rare." Chen Yulou pointed to the vegetation on the shoulder of the bottle and said.
Xiang Nan nodded. They both knew how to rob tombs, look for traces of mud, and distinguish the color of grass.
The vegetation and weeds on the tomb can confirm the age, identity, and gender of the bones buried in the tomb. Regardless of the age, the growth of plants near the tomb must be different.
The growth status of the plants on the tomb is commonly known as "grave veins". The method of judging the rise and fall of these veins comes from the ancient "Mausoleum Booklet". If we talk about it in detail, I am afraid it is not as simple as learning the secrets of Feng Shui from Jin Xiaowei.
For example, there is no owner in a certain grave, and there are no markers such as tombstones. All we can see is overgrown weeds on the grave. But in the eyes of those who understand "grave veins", this simple random grass contains a lot of information, such as "the grass on the grave is green, and there is a weak crown in the coffin", and "the grass on the grave grows mixed, and there must be grass under the soil." People die from illness."
The so-called grave mounds are broadly speaking. The places with soil and grass in the tombs on hills and mountains are all grave veins. The larger the scale of the tomb under the soil, the wider the scope of the grave veins. But in this world, only tomb robbers who have mastered the secret of "wang" know how to observe and distinguish.
Xiang Nan looked through the vegetation and saw pine branches and vines growing green and green. He looked at them as the tombs of generals. He pointed to a large cluster of golden flowers on the vines and said to everyone: "This is a cat's eye. It's just a cat's eye." If it grows near a tomb, there must be a tomb on the top of the mountain.”
Chen Yulou saw that the strange flowers were indeed shaped like a cat's eye. They were born from the Yin Qi condensed in the ancient tomb. There was a faint murderous aura in the flowers and plants. It seemed that although the Yuan Tomb was hidden deep, there were traces that could be found after all. .
When everyone heard that there was a big cave on the top of the mountain, everyone couldn't help but get excited.
…
Chen Yulou then used the [Wen] tactic again.
The so-called "Wen" word formula refers to the method of "Wenshan Distinguishing Dragons". Chen Yulou has an amazing ear and can tell whether there is a tomb underground just by listening to the echo;
The second method is to smell the soil. There are many strange fragrances lingering in deep mountains and ravines. Chen Yulou can identify the caves and find hidden places by smelling the strange fragrances.
There are three common fragrances in deep canyons. The fragrance-free mountains are all barren mountains. For example, two walls confront each other, and the mountain air condenses in the very depths. This method can only be used in such specific terrains.
The most fragrant smell is the poisonous miasma poisonous mirage in the mountains. The more poisonous the miasma, the stronger the aroma. However, the aroma of poisonous miasma has an earthy smell and is an earthy fragrance, which is easy to identify.
There is also the aroma of herbal essences such as herbs, wild flowers, and yams. Its aroma is dense and confusing, and it makes people feel refreshed.
The most peculiar fragrance is the smell of ancient tombs, which is a mixture of mercury, coffins, utensils, corpses, and embalming lime in the tomb soil.
You will definitely feel the cold and foul smell inside the tomb, but outside it is mixed with the smell of vegetation in the tomb. It smells like a confusing wisp of fragrance, appearing and disappearing, as if present and far away.
The closer you get to the tomb, the stronger the cold fragrance becomes, and it contains a strange fishy smell, but this gloomy fishy smell is not unpleasant.
Chen Yulou took a deep breath through his nose and felt that the cold incense smell here was extremely fishy. Going deeper, it turned into a rich, strange and indescribable fishy smell. When he smelled it, he felt chilled to the bone, and he was even more convinced that there was something hidden in the rocks. At the tomb.
I saw that the wisteria and old pines were densely stacked on the medicine wall, and the entrance to the tomb must have been covered. So I made a gesture and ordered the bandits to hang centipedes on the mountain ladder and build a bamboo bridge across the mountain stream.
Seeing that the traces of the ancient tomb had appeared, everyone got very energetic, built a bamboo bridge on the medicine wall, and one by one, catching their footsteps, walked through the clouds on the trembling bamboo ladder instead of clinging to the old vines. , that is, using the remaining centipede hanging ladders to build up the rock crevice, hanging the body in mid-air, and then pulling out the ax to chop down the plants covering the rock wall.
The chopped wisteria flowers, grass and pine branches fell into the depths of the mountain gap one after another, and soon most of the rock wall was exposed. I saw several large cracks on the rock wall. The largest one was wide enough to cover an ox, and it was dark inside.
