Part 8 Wuxia Coffin Mountain Chapter 48 The ghost hidden in the ancient painting


Mr.

Sun Jiuye ignored the sarcasm of me and the fat man, and hurriedly stuffed a few booklets written by Feng Shigu into his bag, pointed downstairs and said: "There is a Yin House below Dixian Village.

There must be a tomb below this ossuary building.

By hiding underground, not only can we avoid the coffin bugs, but we can also follow the tomb passage to find the tomb of the Earthly Immortal.

Otherwise, what would happen if we were trapped in the building?"

Shiry Yang stopped Sun Jiuye and said, "It's more dangerous in the tomb passage.

I saw before that there are many gaps in the tomb passage in the Yin House in Dixian Village.

Coffin insects can penetrate everywhere, so it may not be able to stop them."

I heard what Shiry Yang said makes sense.

The tombs in Coffin Mountain are connected vertically and horizontally.

Ancient tombs from different dynasties are stacked underground.

The structure and building materials of each tomb are different, resulting in gaps and loopholes in the tomb passages.

If A large number of coffin bugs came overwhelmingly, which was really difficult to cope with in the narrow and closed tomb.

Hearing the sound of insects crawling in the distance gradually approaching, it made people more and more panicked.

I calmed down and thought about it.

The picture of the Coffin Mountain Residence depicts the topography of Coffin Mountain in detail.

At the entrance to the Dixian Tomb, there are several marks surrounded by metal rings.

Although it is not clear from the picture what exactly they are.

What a famous hall, but it is probably located at the entrance of the tomb.

In ancient times, there was a round sky and a square place.

The concept of circle means life and square means death.

The arcs in the hexagram diagram imply the meaning of "life".

It is logical to speculate that these rings should be insect-destroying and anti-theft objects in front of the tomb.

Retreating into them may be able to avoid the attack of the coffin insect. , this is also a retreat to advance, it is better than being trapped in a lonely house.

At this time, I didn't care whether there was a custom against fire in Dixian Village.

I immediately called on the fat man to join us.

I opened the shovel and dismantled a few wooden tables and chairs.

I also tore up the cloth strips and wrapped them in order to light them and use them as torches to drive away the fire. insect.

Seeing this, Sun Jiuye was so anxious that his voice became hoarse.

He grabbed my arm and said hoarsely: "You can't light the fire.

The wood in the houses in Dixian Village is all old mourning trees.

If the fire starts, it will definitely scare the people at the bottom."

A can’t lead him out.”

Sun Jiuye looked through the Guanshan excavation records and learned that all the buildings in Coffin Mountain are made of old mourning trees, which is related to the Feng Shui layout of the Yin and Yang houses in Dixian Village.

The old mourning tree is a fierce tree that is cold in winter and hot in summer.

If it is used as a coffin, the dead buried there will not have peace underground.

It mostly grows in deep mountains and poor valleys.

However, the wood contains the air of yin and decay, and the moisture of yin and yang.

This thing is indispensable in Yuan's house.

In order to restore the Pangu Divine Vein in Coffin Mountain to its original state, Feng Shigu ordered people to cut down a large number of sacrificial trees and build a Yangzhai based on the prototype of the ancient town.

Although Dixian Village looks like a yang house, if you study it carefully in Feng Shui, it is actually a yin house.

The dead are buried.

There are often white paper oxen, carriages, sedans and servants, and there are also white paper buildings and palaces, which are all burned for the dead.

There is also an article about the underworld's utensils used in the underworld.

This village built underground is specially used to house the souls of the deceased.

Since ghosts cannot see the earth and ghosts have no flesh and blood form, it is called Shadow House.

The reason why Dixian Village avoids fire and candles is precisely because the Nine Death Jingling Armor is buried outside the Coffin Mountain.

This extremely terrifying Jingling Armor has the property of avoiding the yin and tending to the yang.

If the yang energy in the mountain is too strong, the surroundings will be dense like insects.

The copper blood candle in the cocoon will come out through the wall.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Guanshan Taibao used old mourning trees as building materials in order to prevent the self-proliferating Jingling Armor from approaching the mountain veins.

I didn't want to go into details at the moment, but I quickly understood eighty-nine points of what Sun Jiuye said.

All the abnormal signs in the Coffin Mountain indicated that a earth-shaking change would occur in the mountain.

Investigating the root cause, I'm afraid it was caused by us entering Dixian Village.

When it comes to candle fire and dragon energy, just lighting a candle may not be considered a big deal.

The most terrible thing is that the Guixu ancient mirror was not properly stored.

The bronze mirrors and bronze talismans were tempered and forged by the dragon fire of the South China Sea.

Although the dragon aura in the ancient mirror was about to disappear, it was still the aura of the dragon fire after all.

It finally caused the Jingling Armor to drill into the mountain wall and first destroy the cliff rocks.

A large number of coffin insects were driven out.

Shiry Yang said: "Without flames, we must be surrounded by coffin bugs and unable to escape.

Although fire is taboo in Dixian Village, there is a fire crossbow in the tomb passage of the underground ghost house.

It should be possible to light a fire in the tomb for self-defense.

Let's quickly get a torch to avoid it."

Only in the tomb."

Everyone claimed that they were the ones who took away all the things that could ignite the fire in the Guanshan Ossuary Building, and then immediately rushed downstairs to look for the entrance to the Yin House.

The passages of the Yin and Yang houses are different in each place.

In the Pao Temple, they are near the shrine.

In folk houses, they are under the stove or under the bed.

They are all hidden according to the principle of mirrors in the Eight Houses.

I had seen a few places before, and since I had a glimpse of the mystery, the Eighth House Mirror couldn't help but touch Xiaowei Jin, and soon led everyone to find the tomb passage in the Feng Family Ancestral Hall.

We pried open the floor tiles and felt the cold wind and fog below.

At this time, many "coffin bugs" had poured in from the cracks in the doors and windows.

No one dared to hesitate anymore and hurriedly went down the tomb passage and opened the passage again.

After sealing it again, in just a blink of an eye, several coffin bugs had followed them into the ancient tomb, and they were all beaten to death on the spot by us with an engineering shovel.

Shiry Yang and Yaomei lit two torches.

Although Coffin Mountain is buried deep underground, it is connected by a strange vein of divine dragon.

There are many gaps in the tomb wall.

If there is air circulation, although you will feel short of breath, the fire will not shine.

It gets dim, but as long as the candle doesn't go out, there's no need to wear a gas mask.

I didn't dare to be careless and reminded everyone to hang the wedge-shaped strap of the gas mask on their chest for ready use.

The Yin and Yang houses in Dixian Village are stacked on top of each other, with houses on top and tombs on the ground floor.

In this connected ancient tomb museum, all kinds of rare coffins, coffins, tripods, ancient corpse beads and jade, and ghostly objects from past dynasties are all hidden, and they have all become part of the Pangu Feng Shui of Dixian Village.

The tomb located in the ossuary building is a tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The coffin is mainly made of copper and wood, and the walls on all sides are dark ebony.

There are many bamboo slips piled in the tomb, and there are also many swords, swords, shields and armors.

The ancient weapons of this kind are all rusted and cannot be used.

Among them is a well-preserved bronze coffin of Fuhu in the furnace.

That is, the copper coffin is hidden in a mercury-burning furnace.

Only the Fuhu beast heads at both ends are exposed.

The heavy mercury furnace is filled with mercury. , if tomb robbers tear down the furnace wall, it is not surprising that mercury will gush out of the tomb and hurt people.

I looked around in the light of the torch and saw that this ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period was not solid.

The tomb chamber was too old and most of the wood was broken and rotten.

I couldn't stay here for a long time.

I quickly called the fat man to pry open the tomb door so that Let everyone get out of the way.

Unexpectedly, although the ebony on the tomb wall was rotten and decayed, it was still very thick, so we had to use our engineering shovels to dig out layer by layer.

Just as I was feeling anxious and sweating profusely, I heard Shirey Yang and others behind me shouting "No!".

I hurriedly looked back and saw that there seemed to be mixed currents surging through the gaps in the tomb wall, and countless coffin worms were crawling through the gaps in a steady stream. out.

The coffin bug in this ancient tomb is extraordinary.

In the countryside, there are also small bugs called coffin bugs.

They secrete acid and crawl around and rot wherever they go.

However, the coffin bug in the cemetery is even more powerful and bites it.

When it reaches the skin, it will immediately cause a high degree of erosion, with unstoppable numbness and itching at first, and then bleeding and pus, which can be rotten to the bones.

Professor Sun picked up a torch, connected it to the torch in Shiry Yang's hand, lit it, and added one from Yaomei.

The three torches waved back and forth like meteors, driving away the coffin bugs that were swarming in front of them.

These torches were all After tying a few bandages and cloth, and pouring some compressed fuel to ignite the fire, the burning time was not short.

However, the yin energy in the ancient tomb was very strong and the fire was not strong.

Some coffin bugs were ignorant and did not fear fire.

They were burned to death by the three people who poked the ground with torches.

As more and more bugs were burned to death, There was a strong burning smell coming out.

The coffin chamber of this ancient tomb of the Warring States Period was made of thick square logs.

After the giant logs were moved from their original location, rot worms and maggots had grown up.

They usually hide in the gaps and lurk, but now they were disturbed by the coffin worms that came out.

They also wriggled their clumsy bodies and escaped from the holes in the tomb wall.

Some of the maggots born in the tombs have mutated due to the Yin Qi in the tombs.

The strange maggots, which are as thick as a human finger, will squeak and scream.

After being bitten by the coffin bug, they will make a struggling sound, like a baby draining blood.

Crying, heard in this dark and cold ancient tomb, is enough to make people jump with fear and almost go crazy.

My hands holding the engineering shovel and torch are trembling.

Seeing that I could no longer hold on, thanks to Shiry Yang's quick wit, he pulled out Feng Shigu's sword from my back, took two steps forward, drew the sword and thrust it into the beast's mouth of Fuhu Coffin in the furnace, triggering the furnace.

After hitting the mechanism, streams of tribute water suddenly flowed out, swallowing up all the coffin worms and maggots near the coffin.

This sword should be the sharp blade that Feng Shigu used to stab the "Wuyang King" to death when he met the immortal in Coffin Mountain.

I brought this sword out from the Guanshan Ossuary Building with the intention of using it against him.

"Earth Immortal Feng Shigu" was used by Shey Yang and inserted into the "Fuhu Coffin".

At this time, it has been invaded by mercury and cannot be retrieved.

I also know that things are urgent and difficult, and there is no foolproof plan for the time being.

I can only take one step at a time.

The tomb is filled with tribute gas, and the flames have become weaker.

However, the coffin insects swarming in are afraid of the tribute poison, and they flee like a tide.

Everyone put on gas masks and moved together to remove the rotten wood blocking the wooden door.

They also threw away the incomplete copper door and rushed into the tomb passage one after another.

Each relatively independent tomb has the same tomb passages connecting each other, criss-crossing like streets.

The brick walls are relatively strong and complete, not as heavy as the tombs in the tomb.

The flame on the torch in the hand burns normally again.

After everyone figured out the direction, they quickly walked through the tomb passage to the location of the "Tomb of the Earth Immortal" before a large number of coffin insects came in.

The Pangu Corpse Vein in the "Coffin Mountain" is shaped like a headless ancient corpse lying on its back.

The Dixian Village is built on the chest of the ancient corpse according to the mountain.

The Dixian Tomb, which is sunken into a deep ravine, is located in the belly of the Pangu Vein.

The tomb passage is winding.

The surrounding tombs and pits are staggered one after another, and it seems that they will never end.

Everyone ran in a hurry for a while, but there was still no trace of the Earthly Immortal Tomb.

The fat man couldn't help muttering: "Old Hu, did you take the wrong route?

Why did you run for a long time without getting to the end?

Our principle has always been to brag and not to brag.

It’s shallow and can’t be walked far.”

Yaomei couldn't stand it any longer and asked me how far the road was.

I had to respond with what Shiry Yang said before: "Don't be discouraged.

Don't ask how far the road is, but ask yourself."

Do you have the confidence and courage to finish this road, no matter how long it is?”

The fat man said: "Let's have a rest.

Don't forget that the earth is round.

If you just walk forward blindly without asking for directions, you won't be a melon."

At this moment, I had no idea, so I told everyone frankly: "This tomb passage is dark and winding.

To be honest, I'm a little confused.

Looking at the compass, our general direction is definitely correct, but we can't prepare to go."

Passed."

After some discussion, everyone decided to take a look at the "Encountering Immortals on the Mountain" map to determine where they were, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to walk around in the ancient tomb.

So I lit two more torches, cleared a small safe area in the tomb passage, took out the volumes of ancient paintings from my backpack, and unfolded them one by one, trying to find the picture of the Yin House in Dixian Village.

I saw that the first volume was opened with the picture of "Encountering Immortals in the Mountains", so I handed it to the fat man and asked him to put it away.

As soon as I opened the second volume of ancient paintings, it was the picture of "Walking at Night with a Candle" depicting the scene of entering a tomb and being buried.

I became more and more anxious.

The several tattered pictures painted by Dixian himself were all exactly the same, and they were all indistinguishable after being rolled up.

When I was about to take out the third ancient painting, I discovered that this picture of Walking at Night with a Candle was the same as the one I had previously painted.

It was different from what I had seen in the Ossuary Building.

I remember very clearly that in the original Night Walk with Candles, many people lit lanterns and torches and walked into a cave with jade and bronze wares buried in the ground.

However, the ancient painting in front of me now has something more.

Among the vessels used to offer sacrifices to the mountain, Many blurry black shadows appeared, and upon closer inspection they looked like ferocious ghosts, or ghosts in the underworld, watching the living beings who entered the ancient tombs to be buried in the underworld.

Next, I felt a shudder
