Chapter 52: The Imperial Decree
I have even prepared for death, but when I fell down, I felt that I fell into the water, the small flashlight also became unaccounted for. I struggled to surface in the water, at this time the feeling is only know themselves in the water but do not know where they are in the end, my water is not very good, can only barely let themselves do not sink, more importantly, I feel that I will also be moving, the water seems to flow in one direction, and the speed of dissatisfaction.
I do not know exactly where I will be taken to float to, at first also want to swim against the current, but later gradually become powerless up, simply go with the flow, because I also suddenly thought of the old Zhu told me before the structure of this underground palace, this special dragon suction layout. In itself, this underground structure is in the lowest part of this basin, and a lot of precipitation from the mountainous area comes here.
So Lao Zhu speculated that inside this building, nothing else, there must be a very perfect drainage system, otherwise this place is enough to turn into a river, where I am now, according to my own thoughts, should be the drainage system in Lao Zhu's mouth, then I just need to make sure that I don't get drowned in the water, I shouldn't be in any danger of losing my life, and this underground dark river will send me to this side of the underground water drainage.
I don't know exactly how long I floated underwater, the weather isn't cold now, but it still touched me quite hard in the water, and when I finally came to, I woke up in one of the shallows of the underground, luckily my backpack wasn't lost yet. I found two packs of instant noodles in it and wolfed them down, and the lighter, which had been cold in place for a long time, finally lit up again. I found a dead wood branch in this, with my own shirt to make a simple torch, and then began to walk along the shallows, along the way, I saw a very large number of skeletons, all in the silt of these shallows, the number of so much that I feel like entering a mass grave, and even doubt that this is not a crime of the invasion of the Japanese army.
People really to this time, to the so-called ghosts are no longer in fear, the most afraid of the darkness, and never go to the end of the river, in the end, I no longer have anything on my body to eat has reached the point of exhaustion of food, in I was about to give up simply buried bones to this time, I saw a bright light coming from the outside, I was lying in the water, and then the force of the water rushed me down, fell over a waterfall, my whole body nearly shattered, exhaustion and hunger made me close my eyes, perhaps my eyes were so adapted to the darkness that they could no longer accept the sunlight.
I woke up in a mountain home, surrounded by a large group of people who looked at me as if I were a monster, and even pulled my face away when I opened my eyes, with a yellow talisman attached to it.
I wasted a lot of effort to prove myself a person, a living person, and then through the explanation of a cargo man in this village I realized that they suspected that I was not a human being because I was naked and floated out from the cave of the dead, and that I might be the first living person to float out of this in a hundred years.
According to his statement, this cave is after the flash flood washed away, washed away at that time, here washed out countless dead, and ancient weapons and so on, after converging in the water pool, and in these decades, which also washed out one after another to the dead, and this pool of water will also be washed out some strange venomous incomparable bites will be immediately killed by the snake, so that the river is almost a forbidden place, slowly! So that river is almost a forbidden place, slowly becoming a river of dead people.
Although I'm not a professional bucket, but because of the problems of the university's professionalism, I can probably clear up the beginning and end of this matter, this underground building no one knows the reason is to build this underground building of people have been killed.
This is a common means of the ancient nobles, those bodies were thrown into the altar under the drainage system, some of the corpses are stranded, with the rainy season will be washed out some. It's not surprising that I came out of this as a corpse.
I was the last one to fall down, was found also by chance, I asked this cargo man whether he had seen before me fell down there are two people, they said no, I said that those two are my friends, we are a group of camping enthusiasts, in the above encountered snake attack, and finally fell into a cave and was washed here, this mountain village children of the people, although poor but very simple, in the help of the whole village, I in the With the help of the whole village, I found my second uncle in the lower reaches of the river, as for the old Zhu I did not find, for the old Zhu that person I do not have any good feelings, I can only say that I tried to find it, I can not find I can not help.
Finally, I used all the money on my body to ask a few villagers to carry a stretcher to carry me and my second uncle out of the mountain, not that I do not go, but my leg is broken, walking the mountain road becomes very difficult.
Out of the mountain, these villagers sent us to the highway, I took a ride, first the second uncle to Jinan, went to the bank to withdraw money, bought a new cell phone was the first to give my old man a phone call to report a peace.
He said well, will soon come to this side to come, the second uncle in a coma after three days woke up, he did not say anything, after the second uncle's horses in large numbers to come, our party back to Luoyang.
Chen Jiu two has been all right, in fact, they have been ready to set off to that place to find us, just at this time received a call from me.
Hundred days of injury, the second uncle's physical quality is much better than my stick, and he just hit his head, this day, he slipped into the ward to find me said, "big nephew, that holy decree?"
"What holy decree, I don't know." I said.
"It's what I got from that corpse." He said, finished he smiled at me, "You want to see it, don't tell me you didn't see it, at that time, although I didn't wake up, but I still have consciousness, that thing I was dead in my hand clutching it."
I did not hide, in fact, we found the second uncle when the imperial decree is indeed in his hands clutched, was I took over to the backpack, I have no time to look at it, the second uncle did not stop me this time, he sat on the side of my bed, opened the imperial decree read: "By the emperor's decree of heavenly success."
I waved my hand and said you do not read so, you are not a eunuch, how to read are not like, quickly bring me to see.
I can barely understand the words of the imperial decree, some words are very remote, I will not do more to repeat here, but through the content of the imperial decree, I probably also know that the dragon snake tomb in the end is how it is.
The content of the imperial decree is probably: in recent years, the collapse of the national road, the imperial mausoleum infestation, especially the haunting of the mausoleum of qing xi mausoleum, more people at that time that the Qing dynasty at that time, internal and external problems of the imperial power is unstable because of the emperor of the mausoleum of the dragon gas is not down. That is to say, the Empress Dowager Cixi that the royal mausoleum of the Dragon Qi is not enough, which led to the country's peril, the internal peasant revolt, the foreigners outside the looting.
So ordered Zhang Zhidong disciple Guo Zhongyong, and this time, in this imperial decree for the first time on my grandfather Guo Zhongyong's official position to do a call "a grade within the Chin", this rank I have never heard of, but feel very powerful, the meaning of the internal Chin?
My grandfather Guo Zhongyong was given full authority to handle the Qingling Dragon's energy.
Then what?
This imperial decree said, my great grandfather and Taihang Mountain caught the dragon snake, looking for the dragon to absorb water terrain, with the help of feng shui power, snake to raise the dragon, to be the dragon snake into a dragon to dragon gas into the Qing mausoleum, you can reorganize the Qing dynasty fortunes, so that the country's fortunes are thriving.
Raise the dragon is to act against the sky, so this imperial decree was put in the coffin of the dragon snake, meaning that the sky, the emperor's life is entrusted to the sky and even override the sky. It can be seen that Empress Dowager Cixi even thought that she could give orders for heaven.
After reading I am very speechless, this kind of thing I do not know whether to make people laugh or let people admire the good, I also finally understand the sorcerer said to me what is the meaning of the words, the dragon snake into a dragon, for the world to be safe, according to this imperial decree on the saying, to be a dragon snake into a dragon when the world is not settled?
"That coffin wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, it will not be my grandfather Guo Zhongyong right?" I asked my second uncle.
He shook his head and said, "Originally I thought it was, but now it seems it's not."
