Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Everyone walked into the Jade Palace Cave Gate and took a quick look around. They saw that there were street houses inside. The numerous gaps between the Lingxing Rock Pillars were used as natural tombs. There was a body in almost every cave. The corpses were sitting cross-legged, all dressed in Ming Dynasty clothes, men, women, old and young, each holding a long-extinguished oil lamp in their hands.

We stood at the highest point of the memorial monument, and with the illumination range of our spotlights and flashlights, we could see at most an area of ​​thirty meters in front of us. As far as our eyes could see, there were dozens of caves and tombs, like stars in the distance. The will-o'-the-wisps flickered uncertainly. Based on the number and scale of the phosphorus fires, it is estimated that there are still many such strange rock tombs in Pangu's corpse veins.

Sun Jiuye looked at several tombs one after another and couldn't help but look embarrassed. He told us: "Although these tombs are dotted underground, the burial system is a rock gap-shaped hanging tomb, and the corpses inside are not encased in coffins. It's totally unreasonable. You see, the dead people all hold lamps in their arms. They should be used to guide the souls of the dead in the underworld. They must have died here alive, hoping that the immortals will bring their souls back from the underworld after they attain enlightenment. Then he can become an immortal through his uncorrupted body hidden in the Coffin Mountain."

Shirley Yang said: "In ancient times, the Earth Immortal Sealed Master seduced tens of thousands of people into the mountain to be buried there. Such a large area of ​​Lingxing Rock is like a forest of tombs, with at least tens of thousands of tomb chambers, all arranged irregularly and seemingly... There is not much difference. If Feng Shigu is hiding inside, who can find him?"

Sun Jiuye said: "If you can't find it, you have to look for it. When the blood mist enters the ground, Feng Shigu will lead the immortals out of the mountain. Although this sounds incredible, Feng Shigu is an extraordinary person. He can see If you follow the principles of yin and yang and miss the opportunities of ghosts and gods, since you have decided to join the world to save people after death, it will definitely lead to a catastrophe."

I asked Mr. Sun Jiu: "Feng Shigu is an ancestor of your Feng family after all. Why did you think that he was a scourge on the left and a scourge on the right, but he became an immortal and only wanted to harm people? What if he is as caring as Jesus?" , isn’t our trip this time in vain?”

Sun Jiuye said: "You kid, don't talk nonsense. Who is willing to deceive one's master and destroy one's ancestors? It's just because in ancient Chinese legends about how to become immortals through tempering, only corpse immortals are the most terrifying. There are many foolish men and women who swallow pills and take medicine." They are all obsessed with ghosts, and they all seek to be transformed into corpses after death. Those people who die will only kill themselves. But corpse immortals refer to the ghosts that linger after death, and the body is immortal and spends several years in the underworld. During the calamity, a wisp of ghost returned to the corpse and became an immortal again, creating a calamity of killing. The more people died in his hands, the greater his Taoism. These evil methods of saving immortals and refining corpses were definitely not the right way, so he was granted the title of Master back then. Qicai turned against Feng Shigu because of this, leaving behind a centuries-old grudge."

Except for Yaomeier who was particularly convinced by Sun Jiuye's words, the other three of us dismissed it, but the words were said by two people. The situation outside the Lingxing Hall of Dixian Tomb was witnessed by everyone with their own eyes. As for What is that creature that can travel through walls? None of us can tell clearly. God knows whether Feng Shigu really has some secrets that can make him return to life with his body after death. If he really follows what this person said before and releases him from the mountain, there must be innocent lives. suffer.

Everyone thought about the power of Feng Shigu's whimsical ideas, and felt that no matter whether they were true or false, they had to find a way to find the Earth Immortal to avoid future troubles. It is not easy to find the body of Earth Immortal Feng Shigu in the tomb?

Sun Jiuye urged me and said: "Hu Bayi, you possess the secret skill of touching gold, which is top-notch in the fighting industry. You should think of a way quickly." But after saying this, he had hidden worries. There is one thing that still makes me uneasy. I think that the Immortal Feng Shigu was not only proficient in strange arts, but also very foresighted. His scheming was so deep that it would frighten people hundreds of years later. The mountain viewing guide he left behind Mi Fu simply wanted to take advantage of the descendants' desire to get rid of the Corpse Immortal, and tricked them into Coffin Mountain, causing the stranger's yang energy to cause the blood mist to fall. The descendants of Feng Shiqi's lineage have been on the road for hundreds of years. A lot of hard work and lives were spent, but they were actually used by the Earth Immortal. There was no guarantee that once everyone found Feng Shigu's remains, they would actually help him achieve his goals. If a big mistake happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

I said to Sun Jiuye: "You have explained both the internal and external reasons. I have nothing more to say. Anyway, I have already entered the tomb of the Earthly Immortal. It is too late to regret now. I want you to see us doing our best and obeying fate. Let's find a way to find Feng Shigu's tomb first and then take care of it. At this time, you have to find a way to get there, don't think too much."

The rest of the people think what I said makes sense. Now that Coffin Mountain has been trapped by the "Nine Death Jingling Armor", even if they want to escape, they can't fly. Now they can only act based on intuition. As for the final result of "The Immortals of Dixian Village", it will be It won't really see the light of day as Feng Shigu expected, so we have to leave it to God to consider.

Although we are determined to go all out to find the Earth Immortal and destroy his body, there are countless tombs arranged like a sky full of stars. It is really difficult to find the location of the Earth Immortal's tomb among the scattered Lingxing Rocks. Everyone had no idea what to do, so they had no choice but to walk into the caves, gradually search through the caves, and slowly search deeper.

The fat man thought he was smart and said to me: "Old Hu, I have a trick. We will never stop doing it. We will simply light a fire and burn all the tombs in Lingxing Rock. No matter how hard the old landlord Feng Shigu hides himself, It's so deep that you can't dodge our fire attack, it's a trick, it's called a burning company."

I shook my head and said: "Commander Wang, I think you were smart before and are now confused. The Lingxing rock formation in the jade cave is extremely moist, and there are blood springs oozing out from many gaps. It cannot make a big fire. Even if you use kerosene, it will not start." We can only burn the corpses in one tomb at a time. If we want to burn all the tens of thousands of stone chambers and tombs in front of us, we must throw napalm bombs. Napalm bombs can burn all the stones, so it is not difficult to burn down Coffin Mountain. , but our current equipment is not as good as that of the militia, so don’t be so damn whimsical."

At this time, there was a sudden tremor in the ground, as if the earth was shaking. Everyone screamed, and they hurriedly turned over and hid in the cave next to them. They saw that even the corpses in the tomb were shaking along with it. This Lingxing Rock Cemetery should be Located below the Dixian Village, the jade layer above the head made a cracking sound. If there was a crack between the jade cave and the Yin House of the Dixian Village following the tremors just now, swarms of coffin insects would immediately pour in. .

I looked up, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything. But just by hearing the noise, I knew something big was going to happen. The trembling was not an earthquake, but the Nine Death Jingling Armor under the ground tightening the coffin mountain tighter and tighter. If the ground trembles like this one or two more times, the Pangu Vein may collapse and break. Seeing waves rising again and again, with many difficulties in front and behind, everyone can't help but feel even more restless. Even if they find the Earth Immortal's body, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape the pursuit of death. He will either be buried alive under a thousand-meter-high mountain, or he will be sucked out of his blood marrow by the Jingling Armor and die.

After the ground trembled, Shirley Yang came to my side and said: "There is no way to continue searching like this. Firstly, the energy left is limited. After losing the light source, we have to light candles for lighting. Secondly, the Jingling Armor around us may penetrate the rock formation at any time." We probably don’t have much time left for us when we get into the mountains. Look, these Lingxing Rocks have ancient star symbols, which may be related to the arrangement of stars. You know the secrets of star feng shui, why not start here. Think of a way to go straight to Huanglong."

I said it wasn't that I wasn't in a hurry. I had also seen the star symbols in the tomb, but our lighting range was limited, and observing the stars in the sky was different from finding earth veins. If we couldn't see the whole picture, we couldn't talk about using the secret technique of star feng shui to divide gold points. He knew that Feng Shigu might be hiding in the "Sidou" position on the star map, but he was helpless to do anything about it.

In fact, there was another difficulty that I didn’t explain to her. The secret technique of Tianxing Feng Shui is the most profound part of Fenjin Dingxun. I only had a partial understanding of it and was far from being able to use it. When I went to the desert of Xinjiang to search for the essence, The ancient city was just a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, and it did not use the profound techniques of Tianxing Feng Shui, but I still had the nerve to tell Shirley Yang about this.

Sun Jiuye came up with an idea and said: "Since we are trying to find a needle in a haystack, we might as well split up and look for it separately. Maybe we can find it faster."

I pondered for a moment and thought, "Sun Jiuye has signs of corpse transformation. I must not let him leave my sight. These dead people buried with Feng Shigu died in extremely strange ways. Something unexpected may happen at any time." situation; and Yao Meier has no experience in fighting, so she cannot stand alone. Once everyone is scattered, it will be difficult to respond in the dark. Even if they find the tomb where the Earthly Immortal's corpse is hidden, they may not be able to deal with it, but if they gather together What should I do if I can’t expand the search scope when I get up?”

At this time, I didn’t know whether it was because I was addicted to smoking or my nerves had been stretched for too long. My mind was like a paste, so I wanted to light a cigarette to refresh myself. When I touched my pocket, I came across the Guixu ancient mirror hanging in front of my heart. , I thought: "Why did you forget this thing?" I didn't bother to take out a cigarette, and quickly took off the bronze mirror. If I want to find the tomb of the Earthly Immortal from thousands of places, I have to start with the ancient mirror in Guixu. , is an ancient method of observing the situation.

I didn't have time to explain to everyone at this moment, so I just asked them to follow me closely. I immediately lit a shark-oil candle and held it on the mirror. There was a heavy gloom in the ancient tomb, and the candlelight was also gloomy and unclear. The bronze mirror of Guixu There are hundreds of copper threads on the back, which match the number of the sky. The pale candlelight shines on the back of the mirror, and you can see the remaining dragon energy in the ancient mirror emerging from the bronze. The vitality in the copper seems to be absent, as if it is... A line of ice shards under the scorching sun may dissipate at any time.

This technique of "Looking at the Candle and Asking the Mirror" is an ancient method that is similar to the legend in the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique". Due to the rarity of sea copper, very few people have actually used it since ancient times. This method is not a divination, but a divination. It uses the principle of divination to divide gold into fixed points in the earth's veins. A dragon's vein is not auspicious everywhere. The golden cave that hides wind and collects water may only be the size of a piece of money, but the situation of the entire earth's veins occurs in it. Look for this golden well. The Jade Point is the essence of Fenjin Dingxue. If the earth vein found in Xunlong Jue is a line or a surface, "Fenjin Dingxue" is specially designed to determine a specific "point" among the lines and surfaces. .

The dragon energy in the Guixu hexagram mirror is about to dissipate, and time is extremely precious. I observe the changes in the copper on the back of the mirror while speeding up my pace. There are star marks everywhere in the Pangu veins of Coffin Mountain, which shows that this place coincides with the astrology, and according to the earthly immortal seal Shigu's ability will definitely take the position of Star Master of "Si Dou Zhang Yao" in the mausoleum area as his own, and use it as a place to hide the truth after his death.

I used the Guixu ancient mirror as a fortune-telling bronze compass. Following the changes in the shadow of the candle in the mirror, I walked around the streets made of Lingxing Rock rocks for a while, and finally settled on a steep and dangerous rock. At this moment, the last trace of sea air in the bronze mirror was finally exhausted. The bronze mirror tempered by the dragon fire of the South China Sea became an ordinary ancient artifact that had lost its soul in the blink of an eye.

My heart was pounding, and I secretly said I was lucky. There are four tombs on the Lingxing Rock in front of me, and one of them is where the infinite corpse energy in Pangu Vein originated. Master, he will definitely hide here and wait to refine the corpse to become an immortal, so everyone took their equipment and went in to search immediately.

When Sun Jiuye saw that the sea air in the bronze mirror had disappeared, his face became even more ugly. He said worriedly: "It's over this time. I used to count on the ancient mirror to ward off corpses and evil spirits, but now it's better. Guixu bronze has completely lost its copper soul." , I don’t know if I can still suppress the zombies.”

I didn't care about this, thinking that Youdao was reluctant to give up the child and could not lure the wolf. Since entering the Coffin Gorge, except for the "walking corpse" of Sun Jiuye, I have not seen any "dead corpses" occur, and he If he had been dead for a long time as he said, why did he show no reaction in front of the mirror? If Sun Jiuye’s words are true, I’m afraid that the theory of Guixu Bronze Mirror to suppress corpses is false. In that case, there is no point in keeping the ancient mirror until the end. After all, I still have a jar of fire oil hidden in my body for backup. As long as the Earth Immortal Sealing Shi Gu still has his body in the tomb, so there is no need to worry about not being able to burn him.

The fat man also said: "This Sun Laojiu is simply a pathetic creature. He has probably been driven crazy by centuries of hatred and superstition. I will let you know later. In ancient times, Zhang Tiesheng turned in a blank test to go to college. Today, there are Mr. Fatty and Mr. Hu defeated the Earth Immortals with their bare hands. Don’t think that science, technology and academic titles can take care of everything. Our courage is not something we learned from books.” After saying this, he waved to everyone: “Anyone with brains can do it. Comrades with seeds, stop being wet and follow the fat man." Sun Jiuye stopped the fat man and said to us: "Don't worry, there is a magic weapon that can save lives at critical moments. I have heard of the Immortal Binding Rope. No?"
