Ghost Blowing Lantern II

It had been a long time since we entered the Guan Sheng Temple. Fatty and Yao Meier, two generous and bold people, were tired and had already fallen asleep leaning against the wall of the temple. Only Shirley Yang and I were still listening to Master Sun Jiu. As soon as he said this, I was like "splashing cold water on my body and holding ice in my arms." I glanced at Shirley Yang. She was also confused after hearing Professor Sun's last words.

For me, this matter is both reasonable and unexpected. It is reasonable that there are indeed some strange changes in Sun Jiuye's body. If it is just the appearance of unobvious corpse spots like us, that's it. The "corpse bugs" that only appear on dead people actually appeared on his body; but if he had been dead for a long time, when exactly did he die? How can a walking corpse talk to us in secret all night long?

Sun Jiuye seemed to see that it was difficult for us to accept this fact, so he said: "Actually, I am just like you. I don't know how I died at all. I can't even remember when I died. I have constant pain all over my body." There were corpse bugs crawling in and out. It wasn't until I passed through the broken bug tunnel buried outside Coffin Mountain that no more corpse bugs came out of my body. I can't understand what horrible things happened to me at all. Can you believe it? Is there anything more terrifying than death in the world?"

Seeing our confused faces, Mr. Sun Jiu lowered his head and asked me to unbutton his chest. At this glance, Shirley Yang and I both took a breath of air.

I saw that Sun Jiuye's body was full of holes eaten by "corpse bugs". In the tunnel entering "Coffin Mountain", there was an "insect-proof tunnel", so all the corpse bugs on his body were dead and he was covered with corpses. There were only a hundred or so black holes left on Shou's chest. The wounds had not healed, and there was no blood flowing out. The whole person looked like a "rotten corpse" that had been bitten by maggots.

Seeing is believing, I can't help but believe it, but even if I believed his words, it was like I was in a fog. It seems that Professor Sun is really a "walking corpse", but how can a dead corpse talk to people? The more we think about this matter, the more terrifying it becomes, because all our "common sense" and "experience" cannot explain this phenomenon. Is there really such a thing as "resurrection of a dead body"?

Sun Jiuye said to me: "When I entered the ancient tomb of King Wuyang, I realized something was wrong with my body, but it was too late, and I didn't know how it happened. The Feng family in Guanshan had never encountered anything like this before. This is a terrible situation, so I made up my mind at that time. As long as I enter the ancient tomb of Dixian Village and find the Corpse Immortal this time, I will die with no regrets. But in the end, I didn’t want to drag you into the water, but you are so stupid. This speculator is so smart, but in the end he is harming yourselves. Let’s not go out this time. This fairy village in Coffin Mountain is said to have no door to heaven and earth. Once the door of life is closed, no one can leave."

I was disapproving and said to him: "You are indeed the direct descendant of the Guanshan Feng family. Now you are in charge both inside and outside. We have been fooled by you for more than half a year, and in the end you said that we were the ones who harmed ourselves." ? Even if the dead are trying to squeeze the living, they won’t do this..."

Shirley Yang stopped me and said: "Don't argue about this now. Since the Ming Dynasty Guanshan Taibao can build the entire ancient town in Coffin Mountain, the situation in Coffin Mountain hidden deep underground must be quite big. In addition to the Nine Death Jingling Lingjia, There may not be any other exit outside the birth gate."

The "Nine Deaths Jingling Tomb Armor" is a sharp mechanism for guarding tombs and preventing theft. In my half of the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", and the "Moving Mountains Armor" passed down by the "Partridge Whistle" It is all recorded in "Shu". But for nearly a thousand years, no tomb robbers have ever hit the "Jingling Armor". According to ancient Fang foreign books such as mausoleum genealogy, it is said that in the "Tomb of the King of Nanyue" and the "Maoling" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che This armor is buried here.

In ancient alchemy, "armor" is a special prop, which can be a "bronze" or a "paper figurine armor and horse", and the "Nine Deaths Jingling Armor" is even more special and mysterious. It is a product of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, witchcraft was in full swing and tomb robbing had just emerged. In order to deal with the robbing and destruction of ancient tombs, the tombs of the great nobles were sealed with wooden coffins, and "Jingling Armor" was buried in the soil around the tombs. To protect the body, this armor must be made from ancient bronzes dating back three generations. It is leached with "corpse blood" to create a special copper corrosion, which looks like a "copper flower" produced by the invasion of copper.

This kind of pale green "copper flower" has been eroded by accumulated blood for many years. After being buried in the ground with dragon veins for a long time, it will turn into a half-metallic and half-plant thing through the earth's energy, taking the form of "coral spines" or "coral thorns". It grows like a "cobweb" and can continue to spread around the mausoleum where the Yin Qi has condensed. Those copper-etched flowers covered with barbs are similar to "man-eating grass" and penetrate into the soil and rock formations like the roots of plants. It usually hides in the soil. When it encounters a living person, it will be frightened and violent. It will strangle all creatures that are close to the mausoleum and drink blood. It is most impossible to prevent because it is not only extremely tough and can avoid water and fire, but also contains corpse blood poison. , if it stabs a living person, blood will immediately seal its throat. As long as this armor is buried to protect the tomb, there will be no gaps around the ancient tomb.

However, the ancient bronze artifacts of the three generations have become very rare in later generations, causing the art of armor making to be gradually lost. After the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, no tomb robbers in the world have encountered the "Nine Deaths Jingling Tomb Armor", so no one has ever encountered it. Shirley Yang and I only know how to break this demonic armor by "just hearing its name".

Sun Jiuye said that Feng Shigu obtained many ancient "bronze wares" through tomb robbery. The ancestors of the Feng family had a strange book stolen from the hanging coffin in Coffin Gorge, which happened to record how to arrange the "Jingling Armor". This kind of demon armor is half copper and half flesh. According to the flow of dragon energy in the "Coffin Gorge" ground, it will hibernate underground for several days every year of the gopher. As long as the geomantic omen of the underground "Coffin Mountain" is not broken, it will Following this rule, it is only safe to enter the mountains during this period.

The "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" was originally elusive and hard to find, but Feng Shigu still couldn't rest assured. He also put up the "Nine Death Jingling Tomb Armor" as the last barrier. If any tomb robbers who don't know the details come in, whether they are "touching for gold" "Colonel" or "moving mountains and unloading ridges", they all have to lose their lives in the tunnel in a daze, and I'm afraid they don't even know what they hit.

Judging from the timing of the "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches" calculated by Sun Jiuye, the "Jingling Armor" will soon seal the tunnel, and it is now impossible to leave the "Coffin Mountain Fairy Village".

When I was in the tunnel before, I did see clusters of pale green copper corrosion in the rock and soil layers. I thought it was some kind of "coral-like dissolved rock" that existed underground, but I never expected that there would be a "nine-death scare" that has long since disappeared. "Lingjia", although I don't know whether the time calculated by Professor Sun is accurate, but according to the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", there is indeed such a thing in the world. If the twelve years of "shengmen" pass, there will be something underground The moment he sees the "Jingling Armor", it is the moment of death.

I think when dealing with this kind of thing, one should "rather believe that it exists than believe that it doesn't exist." I can't think of how to escape unscathed at the moment, but I must find a "survival door" to escape. Who can bear the temper like this? Trapped in the "coffin mountain" where the sun never shines for twelve years?

Shirley Yang asked me: "Now that the situation is like this, what are your plans?" My mind turned and I knew that I should redeploy the plan immediately. I stayed in Guansheng Temple for a long time, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. I still don't know what will happen in the "Dixian Village". It is estimated that the immortal-seeking Feng Zhigu has "returned to his place" a long time ago, so I called the fat man and Yao Mei'er and asked them to tidy up quickly, and took the "gold" Dan" and then find a way to find an exit.

At this time, I suddenly remembered the most important thing. I immediately asked Mr. Sun Jiu, although most of this incident was caused by you, but what is crucial to us is, what exactly is in this "Coffin Mountain" Are there Zhou Tian Gua Diagram and Ancient Corpse Golden Pill?

Sun Jiuye said with an air of not caring about life and death: "To be honest, I lied to you about the Alchemy Cauldron and Heavenly Book hidden in the ancient tomb in Dixian Village. But the bone armor stolen by the ancestors of Guanshan Taibao The secret weapons are indeed hidden in this mountain, and... the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu is a strange person from outside the country, who is good at the method of transforming and refining elixirs. If he really becomes a Corpse Immortal, he might have a golden elixir."

I heard him actually say that even this thing was impossible to do, and I gritted my teeth with hatred: "You are the black hand of the landlord class who has been inserted into our workers, peasants and soldiers! I will settle the accounts with you when this is over... ..." After saying that, he asked the fat man to deliver the abduction to Mr. Sun Jiu. Now there are unpredictable fortunes in "Coffin Mountain". All grudges have to be put aside for the time being. The first thing now is to find Feng Shigu in "Dixian Village". Don't worry about it. Whether there are jujubes or not, you have to shoot them first.

Although the fat man didn't understand the ins and outs of this matter, he firmly opposed loosening Professor Sun's bonds and said angrily: "It's easier to control a tiger than to restrain it. How can this Sun Laojiu have any good intentions? I think he killed a professor." He has a false reputation, but he has a human face and an animal heart, and more than a human face and an animal heart. He is simply a beast in clothes. To say that he is a beast in clothes is to praise him. How can cattle, horses and mules be as sinister as him? He is simply a jackal among beasts..."

I told Fatty that you just fell asleep and had no idea what the truth was. Professor Sun has realized the seriousness of his mistake. He decided to change his mind and start a new life. He took the initiative to take us into the "Dixian Village" to fight against each other, and He also swore a poisonous oath to the ancestors of his family. Even bad guys without faith should respect their ancestors, so they should be able to trust him for the time being. Who hasn’t made a mistake? Don't great men still make mistakes sometimes? What do Westerners say? "If young people make mistakes, God will forgive them." Although Sun Jiuye is no longer "young", Commander Wang, please be generous this time. Only with great quantity can you be blessed, and with great fortune can you create great fortune.

The fat man snorted, cut the rope with a knife and let go of Sun Jiuye, and said to him: "Sun Laojiu, if you dare to have second thoughts again, even if God is willing to forgive you, I will not let you go, Fatty." I can’t spare you, please tell me...where are all the bright weapons in the village hidden?"

Mr. Sun Jiuye glared at the fat man without fear and said to us: "According to my ancestors of the Guanshan Feng family, the layout of the Dixian Village in Coffin Mountain is basically based on Qingxi Town. The ancient Dixian Fengshi It should be hiding in the Feng family mansion. Although the Qingxi Ancient Town in Wushan is now abandoned, it has roughly maintained the ancient style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with almost no major changes."

When we entered the ancient town of "Qingxi", we had visited the abandoned "Feng's Old House", and we still had some impressions of the street layout near "Feng's House", because "Coffin Mountain" is deep under the mountains. It's pitch black everywhere and the lighting equipment is very limited, making it easy to get lost. So Professor Sun and Yao Meier were asked to roughly draw a map of the building layout on paper, and then compare it with the "Porcelain Screen Map" so that everyone could have a rough idea of ​​the situation in Dixian Village in advance, so as not to If you walk into the dark underground buildings, you will lose your way.

Then I redistributed the equipment I carried and found that part of the flashlight and tactical spotlight had been damaged. There were not many cold pyrotechnics and fluorescent lighting sticks left. The batteries and food were only enough to last for three days at most. If I were really trapped by the "Nine Death Jingling Armor" In Coffin Mountain, you can't support it for long.

Yao Mei'er has heard about the Feng family's ancient tomb since she was a child. Even those in "Fengwo Mountain" know how powerful the "Jingling Armor" is. She said to us: "Anyway, we will definitely encounter something in the tomb of the demon fairy." Ghost, but being able to see the Feng family’s old house hidden in the mountains is considered an eye-opener, and death is considered a hard death, so don’t think too much about the retreat.”

Fatty and I have never lacked the spirit of optimism, so we said to her: "Sister, don't say depressing words, none of us can die. This coffin mountain is not a copper wall or an iron wall. It is really made of pig iron and there must be a gap. Wait." Ours will be the dawn of victory..."

As soon as the word "dawn" was spoken, a dark red light suddenly came in from outside the temple, as if a morning glow suddenly appeared in the sky. But at this moment, it was at least one or two kilometers away from the ground. How could the sky be so bright? And the time was wrong, it was just after twelve o'clock, even outside the mountains, it was the darkest time.

Master Sun Jiu didn't know what was going on. His ancestors had never mentioned that "Coffin Mountain" was on the ground. Now he actually didn't know much about this place than we did, so he was just as surprised.

I signaled everyone not to go out in a hurry. This "Guanlaoye Temple" is the most sacred and solemn. It is at least a place "secluded from evil spirits". No matter what evil things are in the mountains, it is impossible to enter this temple.

Shirley Yang pointed to the second floor of the temple and said: "First go to the window pavilion above and have a look." The five of us didn't know what was happening outside the temple, so we all climbed up the wooden ladder to the high place of the temple. We walked through the window pavilion. Looking inside and outside, I saw an intermittent light appearing in the originally dark heights. It looked like lava surging, but there was no heat or sulfur smell. Instead, it made people feel cold all over.

At this time, the entire underground seemed to be shrouded in a hazy and dim blood. You could see the hills that resembled a "headless corpse" and many jagged buildings and pavilions stretching on them. , those ancient buildings of the Ming Dynasty, with "red tiles and pink walls, staggered at different heights", are very large in scale. The most advanced courtyard is not far from the temple where we are. Through the scarlet blood light, we can even see Go to the portrait of the "Door God" posted in front of the door.

I could vaguely see several ancient archways standing among the buildings, which were higher than the surrounding houses and courtyards. I secretly guessed that there should be the Feng family mansion located at the core of "Dixian Village".

The whole village is like a haunted house, without any lights or people, and every door is closed. There is no "immortal cave house" anywhere. I really can't imagine what kind of real immortal Feng Shigu could find hiding here?

The hills are covered with vegetation and vines. The vegetation is very dense, but it is very low and very dark in color. It is surrounded by extremely high and steep stone walls, as smooth as an ax and a machete, long from east to west and narrow from north to south, like coffin boards. Inserted neatly on all sides. The cliffs are densely covered with patterns like climbing dragons and falling phoenixes. The complex patterns like totem murals are formed by the natural outlines of moss and plants growing on the ancient walls.

Just as he was waiting to look again, the bloody light in the air suddenly disappeared, and the "Coffin Mountain" fell into darkness again. Very high and far away, there were faint sounds of friction and rotation of copper and iron metal. Although this sound was not It's big, but it seems to be able to ravage and torture every nerve in a person's brain. It makes people panic, and it takes a long time before it stops.

Everyone was relieved and turned around. In the darkness, they turned on the "tactical spotlight" on their helmets again. I asked Sun Jiuye what the bloody light that appeared in the air just now was?

Sun Jiuye shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. It's hard for gods to guess Feng Shigu's methods. Back then, even his close relatives and clansmen didn't know the secrets he kept in his heart. There might be something hidden above the ancient tomb. The bronze yang essence of the Nian Lamp flickers on and off, but the blood energy is so heavy... It may also be that the copper corrosion of the Nine Deaths' Jingling Armor has penetrated the soil. From now on, we must be extra cautious in every step, otherwise we will definitely not be able to enter. The old house of the Feng family.”

The fat man didn't care, and said eagerly: "Even our men have been in and out of the royal tombs. What big deal can a landowner do? In the eyes of the fat man, he is just a dung beetle on the road - — Leng Chong, a little Jeep imported from the United States, have you figured out the terrain clearly, Lao Hu? Where are the exposed weapons? On display or buried? Let’s quickly go in in the dark and visit the old landowner’s shady house. Tomb Museum."
