Ghost Blowing Lantern II

The face Sun Jiuye hid under the gas mask was not a "human face" at all. The facial muscles contracted and turned purple, and the twisted "veins and blood vessels" all stood out under the skin. Two The godless eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, just like two dark red will-o'-the-wisps.

"The corpse has changed!" This thought flashed through my mind, and I hurriedly stepped back from him. I had already grabbed the "engineer shovel" in my hand, and at the same time, I held the "carrying bag" around my waist. Prepare to take out the "Guixu Ancient Mirror" just in case something unexpected happens.

Just when I was about to step forward to take action, I found that Sun Jiuye was still sitting motionless on the "carved water-wood gum bed", as if he were a corpse that had long lost its soul, making people unable to feel any vitality at all. , and he didn't get up and pounce on anyone, he just sat quietly on the bedside.

In the hearts of everyone, Li Liu was completely confused. No one knew what had happened to Sun Jiuye. He had previously said that he was dead. All the signs that happened to him also indicated that he had encountered some kind of accident. But I always feel that something is fishy. How could there really be a "walking dead" in the world? There must be something hidden, but Professor Sun in front of him at this time is clearly a "Zombie", and the face of a living person can never be so ferocious and terrifying.

In the dark and silent room, I seemed to be able to hear my own heartbeat "bang, bang, bang". I thought that if this stalemate continued, it would not be the end after all. Whether Sun Jiuye was a human or a ghost, we had to find out clearly. Then, he handed the "Guixu Bronze Mirror" to Shirley Yang beside him and asked her and Yao Meier to take care of it.

The fat man and I each took a "engineer's shovel" and slowly approached the wooden bed. At this moment, we heard Sun Jiuye cough suddenly, and then stood up tremblingly. The protruding blood vessels and congestion on his face His eyes slowly returned to normal. When he saw us carrying the guys with unkind expressions, he asked, "What? Do you really want to go to me?"

Everyone looked at each other, speechless. I took the "Guixu Ancient Mirror" again and looked at Sun Jiu. My father showed no reaction in front of the mirror, and his figure was not reflected at all in the mirror.

Finally, it was Shirley Yang who asked: "Professor, you... what happened to you just now?" Professor Sun said: "It's nothing, I just received some shocks in the tomb passage, and it doesn't matter now."

I couldn't help but said: "Master Jiu, you were sitting on the bed just now, and your face was not very good. I think you looked like a corpse in an ancient tomb. Didn't you realize it yourself?"

Professor Sun was startled when he heard this, and murmured to himself: "What did you find? What happened to my face..." Then he touched his cheek, seemingly unaware of what just happened, and said to me: " Just now, my mind went blank and I had no idea what was going on. This is probably not a good sign. If I really become a zombie, you... don't show any mercy."

I nodded and said: "With your words, it's settled. Are you okay now? It seems that between us... we can temporarily maintain the state of internal conflicts among the people."

Professor Sun smiled bitterly and said: "As you said, but I hope it will not develop into a relationship between ourselves and the enemy..." He paused and said: "Previously, I thought that by entering the coffin mountain alone, I could kill my ancestors. My bad karma has been eliminated. But now it seems that the ancient tombs in Dixian Village are extremely dangerous. Thanks to you coming together, I am afraid that I don’t have much time left. We must go to the old house of the Feng family as soon as possible to find the Dixian Fengshi antiquity."

I estimate that the final answers to all the mysteries are hidden in the old house of the Feng family in Dixian Village. I also have a quick resolution in my heart, so I will no longer continue to entangle with Master Sun Jiu. I am about to call everyone to leave, but I hear Shirley Yang Professor Sun asked, "After all, you and Earth Immortal Feng Shigu are from the same clan. Do you really want to dig up your ancestral grave?"

My heart moved: "Shirley Yang's question is so apt. It is exactly what I have always wanted to ask but never came up with. I don't know how Sun Laojiu would answer."

I just heard Professor Sun let out a long sigh and said: "I wonder how prominent the Guanshan Feng family was, which has received imperial titles for generations. If Feng Shigu hadn't been bent on pursuing immortality and violated the precepts of his ancestors, he would not have buried all his wealth. In the Coffin Mountain, in the end, Feng's family members withered away, not to mention his evil intentions, inciting countless people to die for him. What do we Chinese value most? The most important thing is our ancestors. I have no children in my life. Seeing my generation, Guanshan The Feng family is about to lose its incense, so even if I am broken into pieces, I will find Feng Shigu in the Coffin Mountain in order to comfort the spirits of my ancestors and clans in heaven."

Shirley Yang said: "The whole Coffin Mountain is lifeless. It doesn't seem like there are any living people living there. I'm afraid Feng Shigu died hundreds of years ago. There are empty ancient tombs and deserted villages here. Even the remains of those ancient people may not be visible anymore." Now that we have found it, how can we take the original theory of seeking immortality and attaining the Tao seriously?"

Professor Sun said: "I am an atheist, but things in the world cannot be calculated by common sense, but they are everywhere. Moreover, Feng Shigu left a message back then, saying that one day he would join the world to save people. Although I have never seen it. I have heard this person mentioned many times by my father, brothers and elders. Most of them are old sayings passed down from generation to generation. They all say that Feng Shigu is by no means an ordinary person. The things he does are always unexpected. I will not incinerate his corpse. Hui, I can’t believe he is really dead.”

I interjected: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Even the words passed down by the ancestors of the Feng family will inevitably become distorted over time. As for the matter of ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal, in primitive society and feudal society, It is a very common phenomenon. Ancient people have been pursuing it for thousands of years, just to obtain a mirage-like mirage. During this period, they did do many things that modern people can't even imagine. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we would never have seen it. It’s hard to understand the truth. I think Earth Immortal Feng Shigu violated a taboo and secretly excavated the ancient tomb of King Wuyang. We don’t know what happened to him in the tomb at that time, but this must be his creation of Earth Immortal. The most critical motive for the village. This coffin mountain hidden deep underground must be hiding many ancient secrets. In addition, I found that there is evil everywhere in this place, and I don’t know what mysteries are in the old house of the Feng family. Anyway, now that I am here, I am afraid It’s useless, let’s just let go and go in and search him thoroughly, only then will we know what the legend from hundreds of years ago is all about.”

The fat man said: "That's right, no matter if Feng Shigu is a dead body, an earthly immortal, or a heavenly immortal, as long as he has a golden elixir, even if it is a toad, Fatty, I will have to squeeze it out and urinate on it."

Professor Sun also agreed with me that there are many mysteries in "Coffin Mountain", and we can only make further calculations if we first find out where Feng Shigu is hiding. However, he disagreed with Fatty's words and deeds, and felt that Fatty Wang was just a "money man." Opportunists who "do not recognize people", everything in "Dixian Village" has the surname Feng, and no one is allowed to move except for people from the old Feng family.

I excused the fat man: "Actually, this comrade's nature is still good. Although he once had an eye for money, and lost his direction in the tide of reform and opening up, he has been struggling in practice. After going back and forth for a few times, he no longer takes making a fortune too seriously, but... he is still quite keen on devoting himself to the process of finding gold and finding out the magic weapon."

The fat man said: "Yes, Lao Hu understands me. Money is a bastard. Fatty, am I the kind of person who forgets his roots? We are poor and white and our roots will never change. My father was so poor before he joined the Red Army. Damn it, why don’t you go north to fight the Japanese? So we are not afraid of poverty, we are glorious to be poor. But the character of Mr. Sun Jiuye is more questionable. What do he do like a tested old intellectual? "

I said: "Is Mr. Sun Jiu changing quantitatively or qualitatively? It's hard to say based on superficial phenomena alone. We have to continue to observe and don't draw conclusions easily." After saying that, I looked at my watch. The time spent in the underground hell house is not counted. After a while, there was no need to rest, so everyone set off immediately to the "Feng family's old residence".

So everyone cheered up and immediately came out of the room and looked around. As they were entering the ancient town, not far away was the bombed "Pao Temple" and the buildings in "Dixian Village". The buildings with pink walls and red walls look like standing white ghosts in the dark.

Walking deeper along the street, I saw that each house was as eerily quiet as a "ghost house", with no fireworks on earth. If we say that the "Qingxi Ancient Town" on the ground is an abandoned after- It is dilapidated and desolate; this "Di Xian Village" hidden deep in Coffin Mountain completely gives people the feeling of "underworld paper", as if it is all tied and framed with underworld paper - a piece of "Earth Fairy Village" specially burned for the dead in the underworld. "The House of Darkness". From the inside to the outside, every place is shrouded in a strange and ominous atmosphere. It may be because it is too dark in "Coffin Mountain", and everything seen in the eyes is blurred, which makes people feel extremely unreal.

Every time we passed a house, we would peek into the house, but we did not see a coffin or a corpse in the Yangzhai. The utensils in each room were intact, but there was a thick layer of dust. It seemed that after it was built, there was never a coffin. No living person has ever lived in it.

Everyone's doubts deepened, but they couldn't figure it out. They had no choice but to stop looking at the houses one by one and go straight to the "Feng Family Old House" located at the core of Dixian Village.

After walking for a long time, we encountered a high wall blocking the way. We did not see the prominent vermillion-lacquered portal or the ancient archway. However, the courtyard wall in front of us was extremely wide and tall, and the atmosphere was extraordinary. Apart from the "Feng Family Old House", there was nothing else in Dixian Village. Is there a house of this size?

We stood in front of the wall and were startled for a moment, then it suddenly dawned on us: "We are probably at the outer wall of the Feng family's back house." The fat man planned to follow the wall to find the back door, but I grabbed him and said, "Which back door should we take? Then? It’s an unhealthy trend. I heard my grandfather say that in the big houses of wealthy families in ancient times, there were often night dragons between the front and rear doors and the corner door to guard against thieves and thieves.”

Yao Meier also said that there was indeed such a thing in the early years. The "night dragon" also belongs to the pin weapon in the "honeycomb mountain". It is similar to the nest rockets such as "a swarm of bees". It usually hides under the eaves of the gatehouse and crashes into it. It's not child's play, it's best to climb over the wall and get in.

I said: "Earth Immortal Feng Shigu is not a good master. It's hard to say whether there is a night dragon in this house. We would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn't exist. We avoided the door and entered the inner house through the back wall." Having said that, the five of us didn't have the ability to climb over the wall, so Shirley Yang took out the "Flying Tiger Claw", shook it in her hand, and threw it on the wall. She and Yao Meier The person is light and should go up the wall first.

The fat man and I first built half a "human ladder" and lifted Mr. Sun Jiu up to the wall. Then I spent a lot of effort to lift the fat man up, and then it was my turn to pull him up. He stepped up to the wall with his chains on, and took a closer look. The inside of the wall seemed to be a back garden, with flowers and trees under the wall. The tactical spotlights hung on everyone's bodies swept away the flowers and plants in the garden, which were "eye-catchingly green." "The cold light is dazzling." It turns out that the plants and trees planted in the backyard of the Feng family's old house are all inlaid with glazed gemstones and jade pieces of coral, not real grass or solid wood.

I cursed secretly that a landowner is more showy than his mother's emperor. If he hadn't dug up many huge tombs in the mountains, where would these rare treasures be? The Qiongke jade trees in this garden are probably all artifacts obtained from ancient tombs.

The fat man was also lying on the edge of the wall, his eyes widened as he stared: "My lord, we are really here this time." At this time, he didn't care about the wall shaking, and rolled down directly because of his rough skin and thick flesh. Wall top.

I hurriedly made a gesture and asked everyone to get off the wall. I jumped into the courtyard and quickly rushed behind the fat man. I stretched out my hand to grab him: "Ill-gotten gains can be taken as long as you want, but everything has its own priorities. Now let's take it first." It’s important to find the Earth Immortal to be granted the title of Shigu. Commander Wang, you are a person who understands the righteousness well. Don’t imitate this small family’s eagerness for quick success.”

The fat man said with a bad face: "No matter who it is these days, as long as he mentions the words "deep understanding of righteousness", no need to ask, he must be a master who deceives the world, and we will not join them..."

At this time, Shirley Yang seemed to have discovered something. She interrupted us and said to everyone: "There seems to be something over there. I'll go and have a look first." After that, she pressed the "gold steel umbrella" and walked through the flowers and trees. Walk deeper into the courtyard.

I was worried that she might have made a mistake, so I quickly beckoned the other three people to follow closely from behind. After walking only a few meters away, I saw a huge dark shadow in the garden. When I looked closer, it turned out to be a closed tree. On the top of the arc-shaped tomb, there is a "bright tower" made of jade stones. The bright tower is about half a meter high. It can only serve as a decoration and cannot allow people to enter.

I was a little confused before, and now I feel even more inexplicable. This "Di Xian Village" in Coffin Mountain can really be called "a mountain in the ground, a house in the mountain, and a tomb in the house." I have never seen it before in my life. In this kind of interconnected "yin house", all the Feng Shui secrets that I know are of no use here. I can't help but think of the words of Chen Xiazi, the leader of the Xiling Pirates - "Guanshan Taibao" Even gods can't guess what he does." What kind of medicine is Feng Shigu selling in this gourd?

Although Sun Jiuye knew a lot about things related to "Coffin Mountain", he had no idea about the old house of the Feng family in "Dixian Village" and the secrets of Feng Shigu. After looking at the tomb in the house Qiu was also particularly surprised. After walking around the tomb, he could not see any inscriptions or stone inscriptions, and there was no tomb door exposed on the ground.

But behind this peculiar tomb, there is a three-story, two-pronged attic that attracted everyone's attention. The main body of this building is made of wood, with "green tiles, red doors, carved beams and painted pillars" from top to bottom. The main entrance of the attic and the shape of the house The layout is opposite, facing the huge tomb in the backyard, with the words "Guanshan Guanzanglou" hanging on the door.

Sun Jiuye said: "This building probably didn't exist in the old Feng family house. I've never heard anyone from the older generation mention it. Could the true form of the Earth Immortal be hidden in the building?"

One of the iron rules of gold-touching and fighting is that if you see any strange things, you should just pretend that you can't see them. If you don't be surprised, the strange things will defeat you. You are not allowed to ask nonsense, and you are not allowed to mess with the things in the tomb without permission, because people with curious minds are not allowed to ask nonsense. All are the same. In some mausoleums where hidden agencies are ambushing, they often show their lies and take advantage of the mentality of tomb robbers. Once traps such as poisonous smoke, crossbows, and quicksand are triggered, the lives of Arhat gods will also be killed.

But I was still going to go into the building to take a look. Just as a precaution, I first took out the "Guixu Ancient Mirror" and held it in my hand. I asked Sun Jiuye: "If Feng Shi Guzhen became a corpse immortal, it must not be comparable to ordinary zombies." , can this mirror of ours hold him down? After all, the Tao is as high as the devil."

Sun Jiuye said: "This is the saying, but the truth is not. The so-called evil cannot defeat the good does not depend on the size or length. This one foot of Dao will eventually be crushed by the one foot of demon. Guixu Ancient Mirror It’s a secret bronze weapon handed down from ancient times. With this thing close by, you don’t have to worry about any accidents. You just need to be careful of hidden weapons hidden in the building to hurt people.”

I don't believe in any "corpse fairy" at first, and the "Guixu Bronze Mirror" is a divination mirror. Although the back of the mirror can still be used to illuminate candles and divine fortune-telling, the surface of the mirror has long been worn out. If you really encounter "death" "It's something that doesn't change," and you can't expect to use it to resist it. I just asked this question just to explore the truth of Sun Jiuye again. After getting the answer, he nodded and thought about dividing the crowd into two groups. One group went into the building to look for Earth Immortal Feng Shigu, while the other group stayed outside the building to provide support.

I was about to make a temporary deployment, but when I looked up, I found that a lot of black water suddenly leaked out of the tomb in front of the "Guanshan Tower". I hurriedly walked closer and took a closer look. I saw that the gaps between the tomb bricks were full of dirty blood, and the fishy smell touched the air. Brain, disgusting.

I poked it with Emei and looked at the traces on the tip of the knife. It was indeed blood. Shirley Yang Qi asked: "How come there is blood flowing from the grave?" I covered my nose and said: "This is corpse blood, not fresh blood."
