Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Feng Shi discovered in ancient times that an ancient "Feng Shui map" was engraved on the golden head of the "Wuyang King". In addition, the tortoise shells, jade bis, bronzes and other objects stolen from the coffins also have many teachings. Mysterious inscriptions that are difficult to understand. Among these "clear weapons", there are hidden secrets in "Coffin Gorge".

It turns out that under the "Coffin Gorge" in Wushan, there have been two Feng Shui treasure caves with "mountains in the ground" since ancient times. One of them resembles a "head", and the other is in the shape of an "uncovered sarcophagus" with mountains in the coffins. The mound is shaped like a "headless corpse", and there is a black spring in the mountain. It is dark and rancid, similar to "corpse blood", and no one dares to approach it.

The Feng Shui situation on the surface of Coffin Gorge can be summed up as "high mountains and narrow waters, dragons without leaders". The caves in the mountains are intertwined, making the dragon veins chaotic and ethereal. Therefore, many monuments have a strange pattern of guarding wind and water. The core of each dragon vein is the "corpse head" , corpse coffin" two holes. Witchcraft was prevalent in ancient times. Corpse-shaped mountain was originally called "Pangu Vein". It was a forbidden place for worshiping the witch-god of the dead. Hanging coffins were hidden in the crevices of the surrounding cliffs. Various copper and jade antiquities were buried underground, as well as countless artifacts called "Pangu Vein". The small sarcophagus of "Corpse Vessel".

Those small stone coffins all contained the internal organs of the martyrs, most of which were obtained from slaves, captives and other people of low social status. They were buried underground to absorb the extremely yin energy of the mountains and rivers. Once hidden for a long time, the internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen and kidneys will gradually shrink and become petrified. Those who borrow yin energy will emerge with human faces and facial features, and even body shapes, limbs and limbs, and can become "living elixirs" , but the probability is very small, none in ten thousand. And because the number of "corpse vessels" buried in the mountain is immeasurable, it was also known as "Coffin Mountain" in later generations.

This mysterious custom is mainly influenced by the "Wu-Chu Civilization" and "Ancient Shu Culture". When a noble is buried, a shaped "corpse vessel" buried for thousands of years will be dug out from the "Coffin Mountain" and used as a corpse. "Danzhu" is put into the mouth of the deceased to keep the corpse's heroic appearance intact.

Since the "Wuyang King" was buried without a head, the "corpse vessel" he was buried with was hidden in his belly. When the "Guanshan Taibao" robbed the tomb and opened the coffin, the living pill had been mixed with the zombies. Become one. Master Feng had read ancient books and knew that there was a theory of "corpse immortals" in the world. He believed that the "Wuyang King" in the stone coffin was neither a living person nor a dead person, but a "true immortal" transformed from a corpse. , eating a bite of its meat is better than taking several ten thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum plants, so I had the idea of ​​​​excessive portion.

Feng Shigu burned the corpse of the "Wuyang King" in a copper cauldron to refine the elixir, but it didn't seem to work very well. He was also obsessed and refused to give up, so he found the other small coffins hidden in the mountain. , there would be "Corpse Immortals" transformed from corpse vessels, so they took people to find "Coffin Mountain" and repeatedly competed for the situation and earth veins. Only then did they realize that the "Pangu Veins" that had existed since the beginning of chaos were in Feng Shui. , is truly a "corpse vein" surrounded by dragons.

But thousands of years ago, in order to obtain the "living elixir", the ancient witches dug and dug in the mountains. They dug up the earth veins long ago, and the human head-shaped bones of King Wuyang were buried elsewhere. The cave was also dug out by the "Guanshan Taibao" when they robbed the tomb, and the two geological veins with unique geomantic omen, one in front and one behind, were now useless.

Feng Shigu possessed the unpredictable skills of ghosts and gods, and planned to turn "Coffin Mountain" into a ghost house for him to become an immortal, so he used a trick to confuse the public, claiming to be "the ancestor of earth immortals", and threatened to peek into the ancient tomb. "Heaven's Secret", and told everyone that there will be a great catastrophe in the world, and that there is a fairy cave in the mountain that is better than a paradise in the world, where they can avoid disasters. Anyone who doesn't believe it means that they still have bad karma that has not been eliminated, and they will continue to stay in the world to pay for the disaster.

At that time, the prestige of the Guanshan family was very high, and the signs of the decline of the world were obvious to all, so many people believed in him. The whole family followed the Dixian into the mountain, and mobilized people to build the "Dixian Village" with two floors of Yin and Yang. ", this pattern is taken from the ancient Feng Shui method, which means the fusion of Yin and Yang, and is specially used to restore the dragon energy of the earth veins.

At the same time, Feng Shigu also took his cronies to secretly excavate "corpse artifacts" in the mountains. They rummaged through almost all the "little coffins" underground. After many years, they finally dug out a lifelike "corpse fairy" and put it in the mountains. The excavated ravine was built into the Yin Mansion to serve as a hiding place for those who followed him into the Dixian Village. No one wants to go out.

This immortal method passed down in ancient times must not be selfish. When the "Earth Immortal" is placed in the coffin, everyone must hold candles and lanterns and follow them to the tomb for burial. There is a blood grave in the Feng family mansion in "Earth Immortal Village" , when corpse blood oozes from the grave mound, it is a sign of the resurrection of the dragon energy in the "Coffin Mountain" earth veins. All corpses are hidden underground, and they can be transformed into immortals in time. Those who are destined in future generations can go to the "Tomb of the Earthly Immortal" to worship the true immortal if they enter the mountain with the "Guanshan Zhimi Fu".

"Guanshan Excavation Record" was left by Master Feng during his lifetime. According to the last record in the book, he had "living elixir" in his mouth and was buried alive by his disciples in a stone coffin. What happened after that cannot be determined from the book. Got it.

After seeing this, Sun Jiuye was full of anger: "I never expected that Feng Shigu would appear in our Guanshan Feng family. He was simply a devil. He had so many people die for him. If he didn't turn his ashes into ashes, how could he comfort thousands of people?" The unjust soul of Wan Qu who died?"

I didn’t understand the feelings of someone like Sun Jiuye, who came from a feudal family and regarded his family’s ancestors as bigger than the sky. I thought to myself, “He is just a remnant of the landlord class. He may not have had a full meal since liberation. It is inevitable that I will never forget the old things." But what I find even more puzzling is the "Guanshan Excavation Record" and those pictures. The contents recorded in it are too bizarre, but they don't look like they are nothing. The Corpse Immortal’s “Living Pill”—is it the “Alchemy Cauldron” we are looking for? What happened to the "Earth Immortal" Feng Shigu who was nailed into the coffin alive? Did all those martyrs die in the tomb?

Shirley Yang asked in confusion: "Thousands of people followed Feng Shigu into the mountain. With so many people going to the tomb to die, is there no one among them who has doubts about the actions of the Earth Immortal?"

Sun Jiuye said: "In the long run, the eyes of the people are sharp, but in troubled times, people's hearts are often unclear for a long time. As long as the true destiny and the way of heaven are involved in the activities of gathering people, they can often be answered at once. , there are too many precedents for fools to believe it in their flesh and blood..." He paused, and then said: "It's not that there are people who are suspicious, but the number of people is too small, and what they said at the time was too small. It has no weight. My ancestor Feng Shiqi knew that the Earth Immortal was deceiving the public with his evil words, so he escaped from the disaster and left a bloodline for the Feng family in Guanshan. Now that it has been passed down to my generation, I finally have the opportunity to enter this coffin mountain. I want to come It’s time for Feng Shigu’s retribution to come. The most hateful person in the world, apart from the ungrateful and heartless people, is this person who deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors."

I told Sun Jiuye and Shirley Yang: "Feng Shigu's "Guanshan Excavation Record" did not clearly explain what happened to the Corpse Immortal. It might be a secret, and only he knew it. If we want to enter the tomb of the Earthly Immortal, we must be mentally prepared in advance, as the situation described in "Encountering the Immortal on Coffin Mountain" may happen."

The danger in the Earthly Immortal Tomb is unpredictable. What I mean by this is that I hope that only Professor Sun, Fatty, and I can go into the tomb and open the coffin. This Feng family mansion seems to be quite safe, so why not let Shirley Yang and Yao It would be best for the two of them to stay here and wait, but just as they were mid-sentence, they heard footsteps at the top of the stairs, and both the fat man and Yao Meier ran up.

As the saying goes, "Don't ask about anything when you meet. You'll know by looking at their faces." As soon as I saw the bad expressions on the two people's faces, I knew that something must have happened outside the building. Sure enough, the fat man opened his mouth and said: "Old Hu, why do I feel like something big is going to happen here? Come and see what's going on outside?"

I heard the words and quickly opened the window pavilion. Everyone gathered in front of the window and looked outside. They were all shocked. It turned out that the coffin mountain was at the bottom of a thousand-meter-high mountain, and the mountain above was like a tomb. The mound of earth is sealed, the roots of the mountain are hollow, and there is a very deep hollow shell inside the rock formation, which completely covers the Coffin Mountain. Looking from the Dixian Village, there is no sky, only rock formations, soil and rocks. At this moment, the blood light floats in the rock formations overhead, and a lot of dark red fog seeps out from the cracks in the rocks. I smelled a cold and fishy smell surging in the air, but the surroundings were still dark and silent.

The fat man said: "Did you see it? It means that the sky in the mountains is no longer in the liberated areas. The bloody storm of white terror is coming. If you want to find gold and find the bright weapon, you have to do it quickly. If it is too late, we will not be able to evacuate." "

I also knew that something might be wrong, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, I had to say: "Commander Wang, please don't be alarmist. Our gold mining team includes soldiers, Lao Jiu, and Yao Meier from the mountains. It is a typical three-in-one team. It works well wherever you put it, what kind of situation can't it handle?"

As I was talking, I heard thunder in the air, and dirty blood falling like raindrops. I was quite surprised: "It's raining blood underground?" Sun Jiuye hurriedly closed the window and pavilion: "This is the Tomb of Nine Deaths. Those of you who are injured must not get the corpse blood on your armor. Feng Shigu’s book records the events of Coffin Mountain in detail. Let me see if there are any other disciples." As he said this, he stood in the corner of the wall. Continue to flip through the book, concentrating on it and no longer speaking.

It is said that "Nine Deaths Jingling Armor" is a copper corrosion produced by retting the blood of corpses. It is shaped like coral thorns and plant roots. It will grow longer and longer when buried in the soil. The liquid secreted by this plant is close to corpse blood. Extremely poisonous.

The blood rain came and went quickly, and it stopped after a while. Only the blood mist still condensed in the rock formations. When Shirley Yang heard the sound weakening, she looked out the window and said to me: " It seems that the Jingling Armor has already penetrated the rock formations and is gradually growing into Coffin Mountain. It may not take many years before the entire Dixian Village will be engulfed by bronze blood erosion."

I said that this ancient art of protecting tombs and preventing theft was originally a "disaster" that was difficult to control. Feng Shigu thought he had a wonderful plan, but he was trapped in a cocoon. Even if we don't fight against him, the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" will be surprised sooner or later. The tomb armor was destroyed.

The fat man said: "Then all the bright objects in this tomb will be ruined? I can tell you in advance, Fatty, I will never be indifferent to this matter. It is not our style to stand by and watch. I have to move it for them." Go back and support our great cause, and try to make Antonioni angry as soon as possible!" After saying that, he let go of his hands and feet and started to put the porcelain bottles and medicine jars into the carrying bag.

I had just looked through those porcelain bottles, and there was no "Corpse Pill" we were looking for in them. I was about to tell Fatty not to pick up these irrelevant things, but I saw Sun Jiuye slumped down on the ground, his eyes staring straight into the sky. He was motionless, and his face was uglier than that of a dead man.

I was about to ask, when I saw Sun Jiuye closing the "Guanshan Excavation Record", with a very sad look on his face, and he sighed and said: "God's will, we must have no choice but to be granted the title of Shigu. "I asked him what he meant? Sun Jiuye said: "The Taibao of Guanshan is good at observing the stars, and he really has some strange and ingenious calculations. The "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" he left behind has seventy-two sentences in total, but if you look at this part of Feng Shi's ancient handwriting In "Guanshan Digging Record", there is the last paragraph - the blood mist enters the ground, and the immortals come out of the mountain. The legend back then is indeed true. Now the blood mist appears under the ground, doesn't it correspond to this omen? It seems that he is not calculating It’s not accurate, but it’s about predicting things like a god, and it’s too accurate. I’m afraid that the Corpse Immortal will break out of the coffin and enter the world at any time. This is a fate, we are here at the wrong time, and no one can stop it..."

As the last descendant of the "Guanshan Feng Family", Sun Jiuye has been unwilling to use the "Guanshan Feng Family" to search for ancient tombs and was worried about being thrown off the road. The full text of "Fu" is told to everyone. Now that we have all entered the "Coffin Mountain", we no longer take this set of vague hints and riddles to heart. Who knows that at the end there is such a sentence, what is "blood" When the fog enters the ground, the immortals come out of the mountains"? Could it be that Feng Shigu, the leader of the landowners, still wants to resurrect his corpse and seize power? That's too underestimated our millions of People's Liberation Army and more than 10 million militiamen. I really can't understand what is going on in Mr. Sun Jiu's head. Even I don't believe this. He has been dealing with antiquities all year round. You are such a good old man, why do you believe in evil so much?

Shirley Yang pulled me aside and said, "Professor Sun has been under tremendous mental pressure all year round. Although he is not crazy, he often has some neurotic reactions. Please stop irritating him." I said, "I am wronged. How can I Do you have the ability to stimulate him? He stimulates me just fine. Do you think the fuse in his brain has blown? Just say some nonsense. We have all seen with our own eyes what the mountains and mountains in the Coffin Gorge area are like, even if the sky is falling apart. , there is no way the ancient tomb in Dixian Village will ever see the light of day again, the rubble fell and buried it, so how could the ancient corpse in the tomb climb out of the mountain on its own?"

Shirley Yang said: "I don't want to believe that the earth immortals really have the ability to predict the future, but I think Feng Shigu is really good at making predictions. He knows the topography of the Coffin Mountain very well. Maybe there will be some unexpected things in this mountain. occur."

I understood what Shirley Yang meant. There must be certain objective laws in the development and change of things. Most of these laws can be calculated, but the key factors that really determine success or failure are never calculated by others. That’s why It is said that "people have thousands of calculations, but God has only one calculation." However, the so-called immortal calculations made by "Earth Immortal" Feng Shigu should be between "Heaven and Man". To what extent can he calculate, we are now There was no way to judge at all. At least he was sure that the "Nine Death Jingling Armor" would penetrate the mountain and penetrate into the ground, causing blood mist to appear in the ancient tombs in Dixian Village. The fact was exactly as he expected, so it was difficult to say "Feng Shigu" Will the body finally leave the tomb and come out of the coffin?

I said to Shirley Yang: "This coffin mountain is a sinister cave of corpse veins. The corpses in the tombs of the Earthly Immortals must have corpse poison. If it can really come out of the mountain, it will definitely be a disaster. We have to strike first, whether we can or not." If you find the true elixir of an ancient corpse, you have to find a way to open its coffin and destroy the corpse to avoid future troubles."

At this time, the batteries of the spotlights on us were about to run out, and the lights gradually dimmed. Although we still had some spare batteries, we didn’t know how long we would stay in the underground tomb, so we had to use them sparingly. Sun Jiuye said: "Light the candles." "It's best to save flashlights and spotlights when necessary."

Guanshan Taibao is proficient in the art of "smoke illusion and atomization", which are mostly evil arts spread during the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. He can create illusions by burning the corpses of "snakes, ferrets, cats, and foxes". I don't see any nearby. The corpse candle was fragrant, so he asked the fat man to take out half of the candle stub, which he had bought at Yaomeier's grocery store before entering the mountain. He took it to the table and lit one for lighting.

By candlelight, I carefully read the records about Dixian Village and Coffin Mountain in "Guanshan Excavation Record", thinking about finding a shortcut to enter the tomb where Dixian's corpse was hidden, and the other people also rummaged through the buildings. I was fascinated to see all kinds of things when Sun Jiuye suddenly let out a terrible scream and blew out the candle in one breath, and the ossuary building suddenly fell into darkness.

The ancient tomb is a place of the netherworld, and the candle is a symbol of life. As the saying goes, "It's not a ghost but it doesn't blow out the lamp." Touching the gold captain is the most taboo thing to do. "Blowing out the lamp" is the most taboo thing. Once the candle is extinguished, the room will immediately become invisible. Fatty He was furious, slapped his mountaineering helmet, and his turned-off tactical spotlight suddenly lit up. He then raised his hand and grabbed Sun Jiuye and shouted: "Sun Laojiu, you are tired of living, how dare you blow on Fatty's light? Go out. Don’t even ask – what happened to the rice dumplings that blew out Fatty’s candle last time!”
