Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Although no one said anything, everyone's meaning was clear. Seeing that everyone was suspicious, Mr. Zhang rubbed his old face and said with a smile: "You are so doubtful.
That's right, its
In fact, the ability to listen to the sound of thunder is also useful to masters of tomb robbers. However, treasure robbers are different from tomb robbers. If they get into the ancient tomb, they will break the rules of their ancestors. Therefore, those who know our craft are relatively
It’s less than that.”
"If you want to hold a treasure, do you also need to find someone from the underground palace?" After thinking about it, I smiled bitterly.
"Well, that's about it." The other party said, turned to look at me, then picked up a branch and said to me: "Little brother, do you know what the treasure-holding people are holding back?"
"Isn't it gold and silver jewelry?" I was slightly startled and said with a smile.
"Haha, what you said is right, but it is not entirely right. Hold the treasure, hold the treasure, and hold it back. All treasures are treasures. However, all treasures are different. The gold and silver in the world are soft and precious, but they can only be regarded as treasures.
"Xiapin, in the north, we also call it Xiangling. Most people think that there is not much difference between holding back the treasure and Xiangling. But in reality, there is still a gap."
The other party said, thought thoughtfully, and then explained:
The treasures of holding back treasures are mainly gold, silver, pearls and jade, but the spirits of Xiangling are taken from mountain spirits and wild monsters.
The ancients said that things become fine with age. What they mean is that some gold and silver are soft and buried deep under the ground to absorb the energy of the earth. Over time, they become spiritual. Some of them can be transformed into something similar to monsters. This is what we usually call treasures.
, the treasure that holds back the treasure.
However, the other kind is different from this. It is said that some rural creatures swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to assist their own cultivation. Over time, some of them will have some abilities. For example, the Five Immortals Family in the North,
Foxes, yellow-skinned foxes, and other wise old foxes all have inner elixir-like things in their bodies. These things are much more precious than bezoars and dog treasures. Different types have different effects. In general, they are all rare.
.
Like this, it is the "spirit" of the northern phase. The spirit is above and the treasure is below. Therefore, there is a saying called "Heaven Spirit and Earth Treasure". Because they focus on different things, the northern and southern schools gradually separate for the same thing.
.
Think about it, the area south of the Yangtze River has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Rich businessmen and businessmen have gathered here, and there are countless talented people and beauties. Those rich people will naturally have more things left behind. Therefore, people from the southern faction are mainly looking for,
It is the treasure buried underground, which is what we call treasure.
But the north is different. The population in the north is small. In some historical periods, it was mostly monopolized by ethnic minorities. In these places, the farming civilization is not very developed, and there are relatively few wealthy people. Moreover, most of the things that the rich people in the north like are not gold and stone tools.
, people who hold back their treasures often don’t get any benefits when they come here.
However, on the other hand, it is completely different. Because of the sparse population, there are many spiritual creatures in the north, such as giant centipedes in caves, ginseng dolls hidden in mountains and forests, and those that take hundreds of years to bear fruit.
The deer-blooded Ganoderma lucidum that can only be found but cannot be found is extremely precious, and these are all within the scope of the spirit.
Therefore, most of the Hold Bao people in the north are not called Hold Bao, but Xiang Ling. Of course, the Hold Bao people in the north and south like to call themselves Sheep Shepherds, the Sheep Shepherds who lead the sheep.
In order to find different treasures, sheepherders have to learn some different methods, and the ability to listen to the sound of thunder is one of them.
Some northern spirits live in caves in the mountains and are almost invisible from the outside. You only need to hear the location of the cave where they are to get what you are looking for. This is the origin of the unique skill of "listening to the sound of thunder".
This reminds me of a story I heard when I was a child.
I remember that many years ago, when my grandfather and I were chatting, they accidentally mentioned that when the third grandfather was still a little older, a beggar with a foreign accent came to the village next door. The beggar was blind.
He has no pupils in his eyes, so he walks around the village with a broken bowl every day. When he meets someone who is kind, he will order food to satisfy his hunger. When he meets someone who doesn't want to talk to him, he doesn't offend anyone.
However, although people begging for food were not particularly rare in that era, there were not many people who wandered around the village all day long but were unwilling to leave. After a few days, everyone in the village became suspicious.
The gossiping women started talking and said, "Where did this thief come from and came to steal our treasures?" So she asked the children running around to keep a close eye on them.
Who knew, they got it right? A few days later, a group of children ran to the village and shouted, "It's broken, it's broken." The beggar got it from a wild well between the two villages.
A big golden carp walked away.
When the adults heard this, they thought it was the naughty children who were talking nonsense, because there was indeed a well between the two villages. However, the well had been abandoned for many years, and it was far away from the village, except in the years of drought.
Villagers with fields will irrigate their fields with water from the wells in Shuiling, and no one will eat it when there is nothing to do. For so many years, no one has ever heard that there are any fish or shrimps in the well water.
The old people all said that when you look at that well from above, it is a black hole filled with water. Except for the moss on the wall of the well, there is not even a water plant. How can there be any golden carps living in it? Besides,
A beggar who is barely able to walk in his old age and is still blind. Even if there is a fish in the water, how can he possibly get it out?
Therefore, everyone did not take the children's words seriously.
But strangely enough, since those children's words came out, the old beggar really didn't appear in the village. It was as if he had disappeared from the world and disappeared without a trace.
At this time, those aunts who had a grudge against outsiders were relieved, but who could have imagined that in the next three years, there was an unprecedented severe drought, and the villagers in eight villages in ten miles were made miserable.
But I didn't see anything unusual even though I was hundreds of miles away.
Later, when everyone was desperate, they pooled some money and asked a Feng Shui master to come and see if something was wrong.
As a result, the Feng Shui master walked around several villages with his hands behind his back and said it was strange. Everyone did not understand what he was referring to, so they boldly asked what was strange. At this time, the Feng Shui master pondered for a long time, and then frowned.
He frowned at the sky and asked the village elders if they had encountered any strange-looking outsiders in the past three years...
