Ghost Blowing Lantern II

I said to everyone: "Let's go deep into the Tomb of the Earthly Immortal first and act according to the situation on the way." As I said this, I swept the light of the spotlight to see the scale and layout of the Tomb of the Earthly Immortal before making any further decisions.

I saw that the tomb passages behind the Lingxing Gate are all made of Ming bricks, with an arc-shaped "ticket top" on top. There are two types of monuments in Coffin Mountain, one belongs to the witchcraft culture period, and the other belongs to the Dixian Village in the late Ming Dynasty. As for the building, Lingxing Hall is an underground palace built in the late Ming Dynasty. Its scale is far less majestic than the Tomb of King Wuyang. People can touch the ceiling above by raising their hands in the narrow tomb passage.

On the turning walls on both sides of the tomb passage, there are rows of candlesticks with exhausted lamps embedded in them. There are several pieces of earthenware scattered in the corner behind the tomb door. I see that the situation now is like "Huashan Road", and there is no trace in the tomb passage. There is no place to rely on and it is difficult for people to deal with. I can't help but feel more and more anxious, so I plan to bite the bullet and go in.

I was about to invite the people to go to the depths of the ancient tomb, but I saw Master Sun Jiu standing in front of the tomb wall, pulling out the lampstand with his hands, and his behavior was very strange. My heart immediately sank. This Sun Laojiu has endured humiliation and burden all his life, and his scheming is unfathomable. He is definitely not a good person. He pulled out the lamp from the tomb wall. Naturally, he was not doing any good deeds. Could it be that he wanted to trigger the mechanism and catch everyone in one go?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get angry. I stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and asked, "What kind of evil moth are you coming up with?" The fat man said from behind, "This old boy must be trying to take advantage of us." Unprepared, you secretly turned the mechanism to transfer the exposed weapons, tell me where are all the exposed weapons in the village hidden?"

Shirley Yang grabbed my hand and pressed it down, Professor Sun Jiuye, and asked him, "Professor, what do you want to do?" Sun Jiuye said anxiously, "The lamps in the tomb are filled with the ointment left after the evaporation of the sun. Mud, this thing is the same as black dog blood, geranium and other things. They are all unclean and filthy things. If you smear it on the crack of the door, it will not block the corpse fairy." As he said this, he took out the black ointment from the lamp. Go to the Lingxing Gate of the Earthly Immortal Tomb and erase it.

Yao Meier wondered: "Professor Jiuye, this is untouchable. I heard that if a man touches a geranium or a woman touches a black dog's blood, she has to jump into a brazier to get rid of the bad luck."

Sun Jiuye shouted: "I am in urgent need of attention. I don't care about that many things. Please help me quickly!"

I don’t have the superstitious ideas of a girl from the mountains like Yaomeier, and I have doubts about Sun Jiuye’s words. Although I have heard that Tiankui is a woman’s menstruation, and that it is a magic weapon like black dog blood, but I have never known that Yang The rotten oil left by the fire can be used to ward off evil spirits.

It has always been a "respect for ghosts and gods to stay away" when trying to get gold. No one can explain clearly about the underworld. It is not strange to encounter ghosts in ghost places. However, I have never heard of anyone "robbing tombs and encountering immortals". These rotten and smelly mud can really Does it work? After several previous lessons, I had to be more careful with him.

At this time, I suddenly had a murderous intention and wanted to kill Professor Sun. There are dangers everywhere in the Earth Immortal Tomb. This man is possessed of witchcraft. It is too dangerous to keep him around. Based on my experience, I judge that Mr. Sun Jiu is very dangerous. What he said before should be somewhat credible, but as for him saying that he died before entering the ancient tomb, and now saying that the residual oil in the lamp can prevent the corpse immortal from entering the ancient tomb, these facts are telling. It's hard to figure out, I can't guess what kind of medicine he is selling in the gourd. If it may threaten the lives of the companions around me, I will never be soft on him.

But I immediately suppressed this thought. After all, human heads are not leeks. Leeks can continue to grow after being cut. The human head fell off but never grew back. Sun Jiuye’s life is not easy. I can’t Just relying on one's own thoughts determines the life and death of others. What is needed most at this time is reason and calmness. I also thought, "Master Sun Jiu is also from a noble family. He has learned some of the true skills of his ancestors through word of mouth and heart. Maybe I am a frog in the well. Regarding this, It’s so rare and strange.”

Professor Sun didn't know that at this moment, I was going through a fierce ideological struggle in my mind. I was just anxious to urge everyone to help. Shirley Yang and Yao Meier both pulled out Emei thorns and scraped them from the lamp embedded in the wall. Take rotten oil and smear it on the tomb door of Lingxing Hall.

After a long time of work, Master Sun Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the door of the tomb was almost sealed and there were spells and incantations engraved on the tomb bricks. He no longer had to worry about them coming through the wall. He scraped off some more rotten oil like dry soil. Put it in a kettle and prepare to deal with Feng Shigu. When he saw that the fat man and I were standing by, he said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you two still trust me? This kind of alchemy is recorded in "Guanshan Dicailu". If you don't believe you, See for yourself.”

When I saw that there was no movement outside the tomb door, I was a little convinced, but I said: "Trust is like wealth, but Mr. Sun Jiu, you have already overdrafted with me, and you still owe a lot of debt." .”

Sun Jiuye snorted coldly: "Although I dragged you through this muddy water, do you dare to say that you don't have any selfish thoughts when you touch Colonel Jin?"

His words really stopped me. At least Fatty and I, in addition to looking for elixirs to save people, did also have the idea of ​​​​precious and mysterious weapons in Dixian Village. I don't want to get entangled in this matter. I don't have any excuses. He didn't understand the meaning, so he said to him: "Now we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope. It is useless to talk more. If there is any dispute between us, it will not be too late to talk about it after we have dealt with the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu." Professor Sun He nodded and said: "You are too knowledgeable. You don't doubt the people you employ, and you don't trust the people you doubt. All my secrets have been revealed. It would be wrong if you don't believe me anymore. The deeds of Earth Immortal Sealed Master in ancient times are unpredictable. You have to be extra careful when trying to defeat him."

I know that is said, but our group is weak, so how can we be careful? The Immortal Tomb on Coffin Mountain is really tricky. The Nine Death Jingling Armor that wraps the mountain in layers, the tens of thousands of Coffin Insects, and the "Corpse Immortal" that flickers in and out of the jade cave. We are so worried that it is difficult for everyone to protect themselves now. As for threatening to "clean up the Earthly Immortal Feng Shigu", I am afraid it is just our wishful thinking.

But the current situation we are facing is like sailing against the current, advancing without retreating. Various internal and external factors force us to go to the deepest part of Lingxing Palace, and there is almost no breathing room on the way. Everyone has to suppress their inner hesitation and walk through After passing through the long and low tomb passage, there is an arched ear door at the end. Inside is a natural jade cave sunk deep in the heart of the Pangu Mountains. The moisture is very thick, and there is a faint smell of blood. There is an extremely wide and long ancient The fossilized cedar steps stand behind the door like a white stone, looking like a "ladder to heaven." Although the hall above cannot be seen in the darkness, just looking at the scale of the long steps in front of you, you can tell that it must be something extraordinary.

I told everyone that looking at the formation, the highest point of the stone staircase was probably the "Lingxing Hall". Get everything ready in advance, but no one should act rashly and everyone should obey my orders. After that, he took out the Guixu ancient mirror from his carrying bag, made a cross loop, and tied the bronze mirror to his chest as a "heart mirror". The remaining can of kerosene was also unsealed and stuffed in the bag.

The fat man had a quickie and an engineering shovel on his body, and there was also a climbing rope that served as a temporary rope for trapping the body. The other three people also took their equipment and climbed up the ladder. In the beam of the spotlight, you can see After the ancient fir is petrified, its texture is like jade, crystal clear and smooth, and its texture is majestic and unusual. When illuminated by light, it looks like the cold moon shining into the eyes, with silver waves rolling.

The fat man was amazed by what he saw and asked us: "We have gained a lot of experience in these years. We have been to many tombs and tombs. I didn't expect that only here will I know what it means to be eye-opening. How can Feng Shigu, an old landowner, do it?" How many kilograms and taels does it cost? Can you build such a magnificent Lingxing Palace? Just look at the steps, and you can probably replace a color TV with just one piece."

I was also amazed and said to the fat man: "There are fossils of Jianfeng in the Kunlun Mountains, but I have only seen the palm-sized bark at the largest. It can be seen that the Lingxing Gate is not big in scale. It is like an earth temple. The tombs of ordinary princes and nobles in the Ming Dynasty were similar, but why was the inner palace so magnificent?"

Shirley Yang said: "There are many ancient seals of star fish carved on the surface of these ancient fossils. They may be relics from the Wuyang King period and were not made by Guanshan Taibao."

At this time, Sun Jiuye also discovered the ancient symbols on the stone steps. He stopped to read a few lines and seemed to see something mysterious. He nodded repeatedly and climbed up one step to see the ancient seal characters on the surface of the other stone steps.

I asked him what the ghost talisman engraved on it meant? Could it be that the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book cannot be completed? Sun Jiuye said: "You have been thinking about the Zhou Tian hexagrams all day long, but you have abandoned the basics and pursued the last. The secrets of ancient writing are far deeper than the hexagrams. The history of our civilization can be passed down from generation to generation, and it is not all based on the creation of our ancestors. Where do these words come from? Whether you are preaching scriptures or organizing your family and governing the country, what can you do without using them? In the past, leaders always accused me of meaningless research on ancient characters, and I was really short-sighted."

I listened so impatiently, and I don’t care what time of year it is now. Are you still talking about these old Taoism? Just as he was about to urge him to quickly enter the palace to rob the tomb, Sun Jiuye said, don't worry, the traces of star fish on these ancient fir fossils are very unusual, they are indeed ancient relics from the period of King Wuyang, and the true identity of King Wuling of Yishan is probably recorded. In it.

Sun Jiuye said that the stone steps made of ancient fir fossils should have existed a long time ago. Judging from the content recorded in the ancient seal script, it seems that it is the "sacrifice stele" buried in the Pangu Divine Vein of Coffin Mountain. The so-called " "The King of Wuyang" and "The King of Wuling who moved mountains", including the story of the Wuyang opening mountains and diverting rivers, are all ancient legends that have been spread among the people in later generations. They cannot be fully believed. In fact, the true identity of the headless king should be a witch. A generation of great witches in the evil culture. The land of Bashu is deeply influenced by the Wu-Chu culture and is its own entity. There is no title of king. The great witch is equivalent to the head of a country in charge of military and political power. Kaiming, the king of Shu at the weekend, is one of them. Descendants.

The jade cave in the Pangu corpse vein is the birthplace of cultures such as "witchcraft, astrology, and funerals". The "mountain shape is like a corpse, and the hidden spring is like blood." It is a unique geomantic treasure vein. Unfortunately, the vein in the coffin mountain The vitality had withered away as early as the period of King Wuling, leaving only hanging coffins and jade bisques all over the mountains and valleys, as well as thousand-year-old relics such as memorial monuments and burial halls in the jade caves.

Due to the huge scale of the memorial monument where the ancient fir fossils were accumulated, and the countless ancient seal scripts of the Star Fish in it, Professor Sun could not identify them one by one. He only looked at a very small part, and after a little extrapolation of what he had seen and heard before, After getting this information, it may be that Guanshan Taibao Feng Shigu spent all his efforts to build the Yin and Yang Second House in Dixian Village just to revive this divine vein. The ancient ruins in the Pangu Vein Jade Grotto were also rebuilt by him. "Lingxing Palace". Sun Jiuye asserted that if more clues were collected, he might be able to find out the secret of Feng Shi's ancient immortality. He thought he had discovered that the secret text on the monument that offered sacrifices to the mountain repeatedly mentioned that there were "spiritual objects" in the Pangu veins. The appearance in the netherworld is probably the "Corpse Immortal" discovered by Feng Shigu.

However, our light source is limited and cannot last long. The ancient tomb is not a place for leisurely strolling. There is no time to search slowly. So we have to ignore the dazzling ancient seal inscriptions and go to the end of the long steps to find the place. Unexpectedly, when they reached a high place and looked up at the immortal coffin, everyone was surprised and felt a chill in their hearts. No one expected that the so-called "Lingxing Palace" would be like this, and even the immortals could not find it. Find out where he is hiding in ancient times.

At the end of the "ladder to heaven" made of jade fir trees, there is not a palace with cornices but a natural jade vein with four walls, shaped like a city gate, just like a big palace. There is a palace gate between the walls, and there are pieces of it inside. The mass burial chamber composed of gray-brown Lingxing rock should be similar in size to the Yin and Yang Second House in Dixian Village.

The group of Lingxing rock pillars that resemble houses is a natural wonder that exists under the "Coffin Mountain". Its shape is ups and downs and scattered, like collapsed and disordered dwellings in the city, blocked by jade walls and isolated from the outside world. A doorway connects to the "Announcement Monument", perhaps the name of Lingxing Hall comes from this.

The underground palace of Lingxing Palace is located in the chalcedony rock formation in the belly of Corpse-Shaped Mountain. It is a huge jade cave wrapped in the Pangu Vein, just like a jade box hidden in the hollowed-out human body. This type of Lingxingyan landform is often found in deep mountains and valleys. Some of them resemble basalt on islands. Zhuzhu Mountain in Liuhe County, Jiangsu Province, China is very similar to it. Perhaps Coffin Gorge has experienced great changes hundreds of millions of years ago, and it is now in the heart of the mountain. Such strange and spectacular rock formations appear.

But as far as I know, the underground Lingxing rock formations can be formed by sea erosion, or more likely by the erosion of Feng Shui and earth qi. There are two qi of yin and yang in the sky and earth, which are transformed into the five elements from the chaos. The qi of the five elements are "in the sky." "It is an image, formed on the ground." The miraculous creation is so mysterious that it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
