"Did you find anything?"
At this time, Qin Ge also walked to the statue holding the mortar pistol.
"Not yet."
Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou searched through the gaps in the jade clothes and found that the statue seemed to be solid.
The whole body was tightly fitted and there seemed to be no gaps or secret doors.
"It's strange.
Iron separates Yin and Yang, giving An iron statue wears jade clothes, what the hell are these rules?"
Old Liu straightened his head and took two steps back.
Looking horizontally and vertically, there was nothing special.
"Under normal circumstances, we all adopt this method."
Qin Ge put the pistol behind his back, reached out and pulled out the dagger from his boot, and cut along the gap in the jade clothing on the back of the statue's head from top to bottom, and then With a gentle tug of the hand, the entire jade garment was taken off with a splash, as if it were undressing.
Many scattered jade pieces fell into the water with a crackling sound.
"Master Qin, you..."
Old Liu Tou was also dumbfounded.
The jade garment has always been a national treasure.
You, Qin Ge, are known as archaeologists all day long and specialize in studying ancient jade.
How could you ruin the treasure like this?
"This jade garment does not have any research value."
Qin Ge shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, dipped his head in some water and began to wipe the statue, "There was no custom of wearing jade garments for burial in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not the custom here.
In the tomb, this jade garment is not a burial object, nor a ritual vessel, nor a handicraft.
It is just a prop specially made for this ceremony.
What is worth studying is the statue inside the jade garment."
As he spoke, Qin Ge had wiped away the loose soil on the surface of the statue, and saw a lifelike iron statue of a naked man standing in the water.
The size and proportions were the same as those of ordinary people, and he was completely naked. , the muscle texture is lifelike and delicate, and the carving is as good as Michelangelo's "David" statue.
"This damn statue is Zhu Yunwen's statue."
Looking at this lifelike iron statue, Old Liu Tou was also surprised, "Could it be that this thing is standing here to suppress ghosts?"
According to the traditional Taoist theory, " mentioned in the allusion "Yang Fu is afraid of bamboo" According to the theory, if the evildoer died at the hands of someone or was subdued by someone during his lifetime, he would not only be afraid of the real person, but also the things he used, statues, paintings, and even replicas of these things, would become the object of fear of the evildoer. .
If Zhao Jinzhou was really suppressed by Zhu Yunwen, placing his statue here would indeed have the effect of suppressing ghosts.
What does it mean that the statue of Zhou is covered with jade clothes?
"It shouldn't be used to suppress ghosts.
Look here."
Among the three people in front of him, Zhang Guozhong had the best eyesight.
When Qin Ge started to wipe the statue with a handkerchief, Zhang Guozhong discovered that there seemed to be some small holes on the surface of the statue.
There are only a few spots that are thicker than the eye of a needle, just like the acupuncture bronze figure, which is present on the front, chest and back.
At first, Zhang Guozhong thought that the statue was corroded by the moisture in the cave over many years.
But after Qin Ge wiped the whole body of the statue clean, Zhang Guozhong discovered that these small pores did not seem to be as simple as corrosion.
"Look at these small eyes on the statue.
Son" "Well."
Old Liu lowered his head and came closer, and found that there were indeed many small holes on the statue, which looked like an acupuncture bronze figure.
However, at least half of these small holes were not acupuncture points.
"These eyes are his mother's eyes."
What are the acupuncture bronze men used for?”
"Could it be possible?"
Zhang Guomin's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to touch the top of the iron statue, "Sure enough, senior brother, these are the veins of yin and yang, come and touch them."
After listening to Zhang Guozhong's words, Old Liu quickly reached out his hand to the top of the iron statue's head and felt that at the Huiding vein of the iron statue, there was a hole about the same thickness as a straw used for drinking soda.

The diameter was obviously smaller than the one on the body.
The eyes are much bigger.
"Brother, this statue has seven meridians connected inside."
Zhang Guozhong breathed heavily and carefully inspected the chest and back of the iron statue.
Sure enough, the small holes at the seven meridians on the statue were obviously thicker than those at other regular acupuncture points.
Kong, "Could it be with ashes?"
Standing up, Zhang Guozhong suddenly remembered the stone bed outside that seemed to have been burned with animal carcasses, "Brother, I understand, this is the Hundred-Step Soul Resurrection Array you mentioned.
I know the so-called The principle of becoming an immortal.”
"Oh" Lao Liutou frowned, "Tell me about it" "Zhu Yunwen has indeed become an immortal here," Zhang Guozhong said with a frown, "Do you remember what I said, there is a Baizhang Pond outside that is used to vent evil spirits?
The purpose of that pool is not to vent evil spirits at all, but to promote Zhu Yunwen to the Immortal Queen.
An escape route out of this cold bone cave."
In people's impressions or in ancient legends, if a person becomes an immortal, he usually has a glorious image of standing on auspicious clouds or riding a crane and riding a lin, with his whole body shining brightly.
However, if it is strictly defined by Taoist theory, becoming an immortal The standard is not some crane, unicorn or radiant light, but the color of the soul through the eyes of wisdom.
In the eye of wisdom, evil spirits appear cyan or blue, yang spirits appear yellow or orange-red, ordinary souls should be white or milky white, souls with yin energy appear gray, and a few with deep resentment appear black.
However, according to legend, There is a kind of soul that appears purple or pink-purple, which is the legendary immortal.
Perhaps it is a coincidence.
According to legend, before Lao Tzu passed the Hangu Pass, Yin Xi saw purple energy coming from the east and knew that a saint would pass the pass.
Sure enough, Lao Tzu came riding a green bull.
From then on, purple was regarded as the color of Taoism.
The color of a saint, and after some enlightened masters become immortals, their souls often take on this color that completely deviates from common sense.
It is said that when the founder of Quanzhen, Wang Chongyang, became an immortal, his disciple Qiu Chuji saw the purple energy rising from his immortal body.
After that, Chongyang's physical body did not decay, which was a sign of becoming an immortal.
Similar legends or records are not found in other sects.
Difficult to find, the existing theory of Taoism is the explanation Without these phenomena, we can only attribute it to becoming an immortal.
This must be the core criterion for those great masters in the Northern Song Dynasty to judge Zhao Guanshan's theory of "Ten Good Deeds Become an Immortal".
In other words, that Zhao Guanshan is likely to make the soul of a common person also become an immortal.
Appeared purple.
According to Zhang Guozhong's inference, Zhao Guanshan's method of testing "Ten Good Deeds for Immortality" should be as follows: first find a cave similar to Hangu Cave, where the soul cannot get out, but can swim freely in the cave; When the corpse is burned by fire, although the soul has resentment, it cannot come out of the hole and can only be attached to the ashes.
After that, an iron statue will be cast according to the deceased's life form, just like the iron statue in Hangu Cave now, which is lifelike and lifelike, and a hollow pipe must be reserved inside the iron statue.
The path of this pipe is consistent with the seven elements in the human body.
The path of the veins is roughly the same, and then the ashes are poured into the iron statue through the hole at the Huiding vein on the top of the iron statue, filling the seven channels inside the iron statue.
Although the iron object is separated from yin and yang, there are holes at the seven meridians connected to the outside world.
The soul will mistake the iron statue for its own corpse, and carry out a series of natural processes such as rebirth through these holes.
The jade clothes wrapped around the iron statue are probably Used to neutralize the soul's resentment caused by burning the corpse.
In addition, the water and rushes in the cave also play an important role.
According to Mr.
Ma Sijia's analysis at that time, rushes have the function of conveying grievances.
The rushes all over the mountains and the underground lake in the cave are tantamount to forming a natural yin and yang cycle network, which is very similar to the seven gates and seven tributaries in nature.
According to Zhao Guanshan's theory of "Ten Good Deeds as Immortals", the soul must complete the experience of ten reincarnations and wandering through seven levels in the narrow yin and yang network of bronze figures, water and rushes.
If it is an artificial Seven Passes and Seven Troubles, it is easy for the soul to discover that only evil ghosts have no IQ.
Since "the ten good deeds are immortals", the soul is definitely not an evil ghost, so its IQ is much higher than that of evil ghosts.
Compared with man-made formations, This almost natural network of yin and yang is closer to nature, and it has a better effect on the soul and will not be detected.
"This should be the principle of the Hundred-step Soul Returning Array.
The formation is set up so that the soul can be reincarnated ten times to achieve ten lives of goodness.
After that, the soul will show purple energy and become an immortal."

Zhang Guozhong said, "We thought The secret passage and Baizhang Pond used to vent evil spirits are the back door for the soul to exit the cave after becoming an immortal."
"You have become an immortal, and you still use the back door."
Qin Ge smiled slightly.
"You think the soul is as smart as you," Old Liu Tou said, "This hole is a trumpet urn.
Even if you become an immortal, you can't get out.
You can only go through the back door."
"Didn't you say that there is another Zhao Jinzhou in the cave?"
Qin Ge said, "What if he also goes out through the back door?"
"You think Zhao Jinzhou is as smart as you?"
Old Liu Tou said with a look of disdain, "The more evil the devil is, the stupider he is.
After becoming an immortal, he will definitely be much smarter than evil ghosts.
The immortal soul can find the exit, but the evil ghost cannot."
"Zhang Zhang, I don't understand.
Since this is the place where Zhu Yunwen became an immortal, why should Zhao Jinzhou's body be put in?
Is this also part of becoming an immortal?"
Qin Ge seemed to still have doubts, "Also, where did Zhu Yunwen become an immortal?
What is the motive for such a huge project?
It is not like he, an anonymous wanted criminal, can do it.
Who is helping him behind the scenes?
Or, if someone here really becomes an immortal, the person who becomes an immortal is not Zhu Yunwen at all."
"This" Zhang Guozhong seemed a little confused, "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Headmaster Zhang, I don't think Su Tieli's matter has anything to do with this place."
Qin Ge checked the iron statue, and there didn't seem to be any words or patterns carved on the surface of the iron statue.
It’s mysterious, but if Zhu Yunwen really becomes an immortal and leaves here, this is not his place.”
"Not necessarily."
Old Liu Tou said, "People have made it clear that it is hiding secrets, not corpses.
In other words, the corpse is not here, but the clues are probably here."
"This place has been isolated from the world for a hundred years.
Su Tieli's incident happened not long ago," Qin Ge said, "How could there be clues to this incident in a cave hundreds of years ago?"
Just when the two were arguing, they heard a crash at the entrance of the cave.
With this sound, the searchlight went out instantly, leaving only three flashlights in the dark cave.
"Who?"
Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou's first reaction was to pull out their swords.
Qin Ge also raised a 125mm caliber 500 mortar.
Three flashlight beams shot towards the entrance of the cave in an instant.
Only the big hand was seen.
Liu stood there stupidly, seeming to be looking around.
"Brother Liu, what's going on?"
Old Liu carefully walked to the entrance of the cave with his Seven-Star Sword sideways.
He saw that the searchlight on the ground had been smashed to pieces.
It looked like it could have been smashed out by a hammer that was at least 18 pounds in diameter.
Effect.
"I don't know either," Dashou Liu was sweating profusely, "I just looked at you, and I don't know why it happened like this."
"It's Zhao Jinzhou."
Qin Ge couldn't help but pick up the 125mm caliber mortar in his hand.

Old Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong also used flashlights to shine up and down, left and right.
"Get away!"
At this moment, Big Hand Liu suddenly shouted, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhang Guozhong's clothes and threw them to the side.
Zhang Guozhong was unprepared for the big hand Liu.
After this throw, he felt that his body had lost its center of gravity in an instant.
His ears were filled with wind, and he flew three or four meters away before falling to the ground with a plop.
"Brother Liu, you..."
Zhang Guozhong struggled to turn over and shined a flashlight.
He was so frightened that he immediately broke into a cold sweat.
He saw a dark shadow standing where he just stood.
If it hadn't been for the big hand Liu Bang just now, If he threw it out, he would probably be caught by this grandpa.
"Be careful."
Qin Ge aimed his gun and backed away slowly.
Old Liu Tou also took a posture to face the enemy and kept retreating.
Only Big Hand Liu stood still and did not move.
"Brother Liu, back off."
Zhang Guozhong climbed up and stood up.
He calmed down and took a closer look.
He saw that the evildoer was covered with a layer of torn linen, and the linen on his body was not like a mummy.
Instead of being wrapped in circles, they were covered one by one.
"This is not Zhao Jinzhou.
There is something else in the cave."
"Could it be?"
Hearing what Zhang Guozhong said, Qin Ge was also stunned.
He handed the pistol to one hand and took out the flare gun.
He fired a flashlight and fired it.
Under the strong light, everyone was completely stunned.
Not far away from the three people, I saw several black figures standing in twos and threes.
The black figures were different in height, fat and thin.
They seemed to be covered with rags, but they couldn't see the human core that Zhang Guozhong said was suspected of being Zhao Jinzhou.
"Damn it, it's not just Zhao Jinzhou, his whole family is here."
Old Liu's head started to sweat, "Brother Liu, you get out of the cave first, hurry up."
"Oh" Dashou Liu nodded.
Just as he turned around and wanted to get out through the small hole, he saw a black shadow falling from the sky and standing in front of him.
He felt that someone suddenly appeared in front of him.
Dashou Liu suddenly looked up and saw the person opposite him.
Like a skinned rabbit, there was no trace of skin on his body.
"Oh my God!"
This was so sudden that even the big-handed Liu couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright.
It didn't matter that he stepped back, he just happened to retreat into the arms of the black grandpa just now.
"Danger" saw that the big-handed Liu Li was still half a meter away from the evildoer.
Qin Ge raised his gun, aimed at the evildoer's head, and shot him.
The 125mm caliber bullet was indeed not a joke.
The muzzle of the gun was bare.
The bullet flame was the size of a basketball, and the entire cave was like a flash.

The bullet was shot upward at a 60-degree angle, and directly hit the rock wall at the top of the cave.
"Master Qin, where are you aiming?"
When Qin Ge fired, Lao Liutou, who was standing sideways to Qin Ge, lowered his head involuntarily.
Ren felt that the bullet's impact point seemed to be directly above his head.
"Ah" with the sound of the gunshot, Qin Ge took two steps back and almost sat down on the ground.
He also threw away the gun, covered his wrist, bared his teeth and almost shouted.
To be honest, although Qin Ge had full confidence in his marksmanship, he really underestimated the huge recoil of this pistol.
Qin Ge has used many large-caliber pistols before.
Among them, the one with the greatest recoil is the famous "Desert Eagle", which is also of 125 mm caliber.
He said that this gun will not have more recoil than the "Desert Eagle" in any case.
Big, but I didn't expect that the recoil of this 500 was really greater than that of the "Desert Eagle", and it was not even a little bit greater, at least more than twice as much.
This almost broke my wrist.
To be honest, Dashou Liu was not far away from the evildoer behind him.
Qin Ge's shot frightened Dashou Liu and took two steps back.
He suddenly leaned into the arms of the black grandpa behind him.
"Brother Liu," Old Liu wanted to step forward just now, but his eyes were dazzled by the fireball when Qin Ge fired.
As soon as he regained his sight, he saw that Liu, the big hand, had retreated into the arms of the wrongdoer, and stepped forward without saying a word.
He waved the Seven-Star Sword in his hand and struck the black grandfather in front of him with a sword strike on his neck.
It felt as if the sword had hit the car tire, and bounced back with a bang.
The shock made Old Liu Touhu's mouth numb and the sword almost hit him.
Leave hands.
Seeing that he couldn't cut it, Old Liu Tou simply flipped his wrist from cutting to stabbing.
As a result, the tip of the sword pierced the criminal's body, just like stabbing into a pile of firewood.
A large piece of it went in with a swish.
When he pulled the sword back, he stabbed it in.
The place quickly returned to its original state, as if there were no thorns.
To be honest, Old Liu Tou was also shocked at this moment.
This was a seven-star sword in his hand.
It could cut gold and cut jade evil spirits to suppress demons.
It was the flagship work of the swordsmith's ancestor Ou Yezi and the portable treasure of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan; It's understandable that the iron-locked corpse couldn't be cut down.
The whole body was covered with iron nets and bullets couldn't penetrate it.
But now this thing is obviously covered in a layer of rags, so it can't be cut down no matter what.
At this moment, he opened his arms with a cry, and hugged the big hand Liu.
This hug made the big hand Liu stunned, and his body struggled subconsciously, feeling that his whole body seemed to be caught by the iron gate.
It's like being stuck, unable to move at all.
"Get away" At this moment, Liu Ye, the big hand, was in a hurry.
He let out a loud scream and had veins on his cheeks popping up, but he still couldn't break free.
"Brother Liu" Zhang Guozhong had already jumped in front of the evildoer.
He slashed Huashan with his sword over his head, using all his strength.
There was a pop, and the effect of the sword on the evildoer was almost the same as that of Old Liu Tou
