Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 254 Nine Palace Chihu Lock

Captain Feng originally wanted to take Lao Sun and escape together, but when he saw that the other party was hesitant, he cruelly gave him a pickaxe. In fact, this was also to get him out of the way, but Captain Feng felt that he was fighting as a soldier. The man who wielded the gun was neither light nor heavy. He pushed it down with a pickaxe. I wonder if this intellectual could withstand it. I remember when I fought with the little devil on the bayonet, he used so much force. If he couldn't prepare, he would die on the spot. , but the situation was urgent at that time, and there was no time to see whether Professor Sun was knocked unconscious or killed, so he hurriedly fled the scene.

On the way to escape, I was still feeling uneasy. I had to worry about whether the old grandson had been accidentally beaten to death by me. But now that he has escaped, it is no longer possible to go back and look. This journey through mountains and ridges is all about picking up the dangerous peaks of the uninhabited dense forest. When he encounters a county or town, he will let the Bashan ape who has followed him for many years Xiu went to eat, drink, smoke and drink secretly, while he himself lurked in the mountains, so no one found his traces.

Finally, we successfully crossed the Daba Mountains and arrived at our ancestral home town, Qingxi Town. While passing through the tunnel, I was hit on the head by an accidental landslide. I carried the injury all the way to Coffin Gorge, following the "Mountain Viewing Guide" left by my ancestors. ", and found the hanging coffin tomb containing the key to the entrance to the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb".

Unexpectedly, everything came to nothing in the end. Although Captain Feng had memorized the "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" word for word, he did not learn 30% of the magic arts passed down by the "Guanshan Taibao". There is no way to open the stone coffin tightly locked with the "Nine Palaces Chihu Lock". According to the "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" passed down by the Earth Immortal, the secret key to open the tomb door is hidden in this stone coffin. among.

In the process of escaping, Captain Feng fell seriously ill and suffered an injury on his head. At this time, he gradually became exhausted and saw that there was no way to survive. It must have been God's will. The last step was missed, and he would eventually attract hatred. , a burst of anxiety attacked his heart, and his legs were paralyzed. He was heartbroken and thought that he would not live much longer, so he left some words on the paper of the cigarette box. If someone saw his body in the future, he would not He was regarded as an unknown corpse and a wild ghost. If possible, he hoped that the person who found the body could help him find Professor Sun who was undergoing labor reform on the farm. If this person was no longer alive, there would be no hope. It can be said that if that fellow inmate, Professor Sun, is still alive, just say sorry to him for myself, and there is no need to mention anything else.

Captain Feng finally left a message in his suicide note. He didn't have anything valuable in his body at the moment. He only had an ancestral "Da Ming Guan Shan Tai Bao" waist badge. It was an ancient relic that had been passed down for hundreds of years. It was made entirely of pure gold. The hanging On the Bashan Monkey's neck, if it sees someone burying my body on the spot, it will let you take it off as a token of gratitude.

Professor Sun had no tears to shed after reading this suicide note. He only left a long sigh, which was full of endless loneliness. It seemed to be sighing that people and ghosts have different paths. Although there are thousands of words in his heart, there are no more words. Friends who share weal and woe can now talk to each other.

I can understand Professor Sun's mood very well. Not only me, but I think Shirley Yang and Fatty also feel the same. We have lost too many important partners over the years. Sometimes in the dead of night, I suddenly feel that those who have left long ago , and it seems that they are all still alive around me, because everyone's voice, appearance, and smile are still so real, and even every detail can still be remembered. The sense of distant existence between life and death is very vague, but when I think about it carefully, it is extremely strong. A sense of loneliness will follow. Without those people in life, the world has become more and more lonely.

In the end, Professor Sun decided to bury Captain Feng on the spot. Although the coffin canyon wrapped in dragon energy could keep the body from rotting for a while and prevent it from being eaten by insects and ants, according to Lao Feng’s last wish, it was natural that he should be buried. In order to be buried in this good geomantic soil, a pit was dug on the spot with an engineering shovel, and Captain Feng's body was placed in an ancient pine skin coffin and buried.

Professor Sun took off the "Guanshan Waist Card" hanging from the neck of the Bashan Monkey. I wanted to put it into the coffin, but I changed my mind and realized that this thing is the ID card of the "Guanshan Taibao". I was afraid that the "Tomb" would need this thing, so I borrowed it for the time being, and then used it for burial when the body was officially buried in the future, so I asked Master Sun Jiu to keep the "Guanshanyao Tablet" for a few days.

At this time, the fat man said: "The ones that have been reburied have also been buried. Don't be like deflated footballs, okay? Do we still want to carry out the great cause of overthrowing to the end? There is someone who can open the tomb door in this stone coffin. Let's take the key together. I'm confused... How can such a slate coffin be strong? I think it can be broken open by hitting it with a stone. Why didn't Captain Feng succeed? The earth is spinning every day, and the world is spinning. Things change every day. My gay brother, it’s really impossible to be ignorant. Let’s see if we can break it with a stone..."

I hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, if I could hit it with a stone, I would have smashed it open long ago. I heard blind man Chen once said that there is a kind of coffin with a nine-gong chihusu mechanism in the ancient tomb. They are all two-layered and contain saltpeter. Water, poison, fire, these nine locks must be opened in a fixed order. Otherwise, if they are opened incorrectly or external forces are applied, the medicine hidden in the coffin will immediately spurt out, and the contents inside will be destroyed. This is a clever counter-attack. Agency, Captain Feng probably only knew that there was an ambush in it before his death, but he did not learn the principles of the Nine Palaces passed down from his ancestors, so he died of hatred."

I asked Shirley Yang again, apart from the formal way, is there any way to open this stone coffin? Shirley Yang said that she could come up with a few methods, but she couldn't guarantee that they were foolproof. If there was a slight mistake, not only would all the previous efforts be wasted, but the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" would never be entered.

Professor Sun was a little frustrated at this time and said to everyone: "Let's not have any wishful thinking. Captain Feng's suicide note only mentioned that there was a key in the stone coffin. His ancestral Guanshan Zimifu mantra was not left. In the second half of the sentence, even if you have the key in your hand, where will you use it?"

I said that as long as you have the key, you don't have to worry about not being able to find the keyhole. Don't forget that our "Guixu Ancient Mirror" hasn't been used yet. Maybe we can get some inspiration when we find a place without corpses and divine it. Even if I am not inspired, I will never return without success. Last time we went to the South China Sea to fish for pearls, we caught many valuable South China Sea secret treasures. But if we need help from the Dan people who have not fished for pearls, most of them have already reported to Lao Ma. Yes, you must not be ungrateful. The life of "Danman" Duoling may not be worth anything to others, but I will never watch her die. Otherwise, how can I have the face to talk to Guchai in the future? Even if I dig through the "Coffin Gorge" in Nuo, I still have to find the "Alchemy Cauldron" hidden in the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb". If Sun Jiuye wants to back down, I won't stop you until you return to Beijing. See you soon.

The fat man said: "Hey... I'm telling you, Old Hu, what's the point of letting Mr. Sun Jiu go back? You're too easy on him. The most fearful word in the world is seriousness... Who said this? No matter who said it. Well, anyway, your fat man is a person who likes to take everything seriously. If we really want to talk about it, we went to the Coral Spiral in the South China Sea to take such a big risk. Wasn't it all caused by Sun Laojiu? Why didn't he spread the rumor that there was something wrong in the sunken ship? His national treasure is the King of Qin’s Bone Mirror, can we go? If we don’t go, will Dan Min Lao Ruan die?"

I slapped my thigh and said to the fat man: "That's right. I would have forgotten it if you didn't remind me. Lao Jiu can't leave. When we open the gate of the ancient tomb, we have to let him go to the mines in front of us."

When Professor Sun heard this, he immediately became angry and said: "You desperadoes are simply bandits... you are warlords! And you are trying every possible means to slander me." After saying this, he felt weak again, and said: "The King of Qin is looking at the bone mirror." The incident of sinking in the South China Sea was indeed fabricated by me. I have admitted this a long time ago, but... But I didn't say I wanted to go back to Beijing just now. I went into the mountains with great determination, and now I have thrown away my job. , How can you give up halfway? I mean we can’t have delusions, we should treat the facts objectively and calmly, analyze the facts, when will you return my... notebook? "

Shirley Yang said from the side: "Don't argue. Together, we are more than a hundred years old. They only like to care about trivial things. This stone coffin can be opened. Yaomei'er has learned the skills in Fengwo Mountain. It is difficult to lock the Chihu in the Nine Palaces." Not her."

Fatty, Sun Jiuye, and I immediately stopped talking and turned our attention to Yao Meier. Did she, a young girl, really learn the art of "Beehive Box"? I'm worried that she's overconfident. The "Nine Palace Chihu Lock" is a chain buckle. If you open it in the wrong order, the key to the ancient tomb in it will be gone. It took a lot of trouble to get in. It was not something to be played lightly, so I asked her if she knew the principle of "Jiugong Jumping into the Stream"? "Nine" is a very important number in traditional Chinese culture. I think that since there is a name for the Nine Palaces, it is probably based on the principle of "Nine Palaces Jumping Streams" in the number of Heluo.

Yao Meier shook her head, how could there be such a thing as "Jiugong Jumping into the Stream"? The "Jiugong Chihu Lock" is just a pin with a core, and there is no strange way in it. Those "pin with ambush" techniques are all ordinary activities in "Fengwo Mountain", so why bother? Is there any?

It's just that the "Nine Palaces Chihu Lock" changes depending on the layout, just like a safe with a password in a credit union or bank. The Bashan Monkey just kept pointing to a high mountain embossed on the coffin, the arrangement of the "Nine Palaces Chihu" The formula may be based on the mountains and rivers, and it may be to remind everyone that apes are extremely spiritual. Captain Feng should have known that the mountains and rivers carved on the coffin were the passwords before he died, but he could not figure it out until his death.

I saw that Yaomei'er spoke clearly and carefully. She was indeed an expert at disassembling and assembling "bee boxes". Since she has this skill, I took a reassurance and believed her from the bottom of my heart. If If she could really solve the mystery of the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" with this, the first-class credit goes to her, so she was immediately asked to guide everyone on how to do it.

Yao Meier said that as long as the formula is correct, opening this stone coffin is as easy as turning the palm of your hand. Nine auspicious clouds are carved on the mountain, which is called the number of "Nine Palaces on the Mountain". Master Lu's song makes it clear: "Speaking of the Nine Palaces, Taoist Nine Palaces, the cycle goes back and forth without interruption. : The Nine Palaces originally had no roots, but Lord Lu made it clear in his writings; and because no one knew the Nine Palaces, he asked the Immortal Mountain to be used as a measure..."

Yao Meier used the method in "Honeycomb Mountain" and according to the words in the song, she picked apart the nine chi tigers one by one. She suddenly heard a "click" sound coming from the stone coffin. The machine was trapped and the coffin lid was closed. A gap was released.

I cheered. Our sister is very good at her craftsmanship. She seems to have learned everything from the old shopkeeper. Even if you have a fortune, you might as well have some skills. Don’t think that these traditional crafts have been eliminated by the times and are not worth learning. , in fact, the more lost something is, the more valuable it is. Sooner or later it will be useful in the future. At the same time, I feel lucky. If we hadn’t brought her out of that small town, we don’t know how much thought we would have spent on this stone coffin. , when they thought that the key to the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" was among them, they all cheered up and stepped forward to lift the lid of the coffin together.

Inside the stone coffin was an uncovered coffin, with a "sea quilt" covering the body in the coffin spread underneath. However, there was no corpse. Only a gold box nearly two feet long was sleeping in the coffin. The golden box was illuminated by the beam of the "Wolf Eye Flashlight", and the golden light immediately flashed, catching people's eyes.

At this time, I felt my heart "bang, bang, bang", beating a little too fast. I took a deep breath, the scout shoveled down, picked up the sea quilt, and the gold box together. Pulled out of the coffin.

The fat man was overjoyed: "Master Earthly Immortal is indeed a big landowner and a big miner. He is very rich. The box containing the key is made of pure gold. If he doesn't defeat it today, the fat man will have to suffer from insomnia at night. Let's take a look first." Look at whether the key here is gold or silver..."

I reminded him to be careful that there was a pin in the box that could hurt people, but it was pinned. So the fat man pointed the gold box to the side where no one was standing, and opened it from the back to look at the things in the box.

The gold box was engraved with layers of patterns, connected inside and outside, and was not closed tightly. It was not locked, and there were no hidden weapons. It was unobstructed and unobstructed. After opening, the items in the box were clearly visible, and everyone could see clearly. He stayed on the spot: "It's not a key, what on earth is this thing?"

Everyone knows what is in the box, and it is ordinary, but it is definitely not a "key" in common sense, and it is not even remotely related to a key. It is precisely because this thing is so common and ordinary that I couldn't believe my eyes, and my mind was at a loss.

It was Yao Meier who asked Professor Sun first: "It doesn't look like a key. What is this thing?"

Sun Jiuye was also confused: "Yes, this... what is this... what is this?" As he spoke, he and the fat man turned their heads to look at me again, as if they wanted to get an answer from me. In fact, They also recognized what was in the box, but at first glance, they were a little confused.

When I saw Shirley Yang looking at me with confusion, it seemed that they wanted to force me to speak, so I had to grit my teeth and risk being regarded as a "guawazi" by them. Zi said to everyone: "Is this...the world seems to call this kind of thing...a writing brush." ​​(To be continued, if you want to know the funeral, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading! )
