Chapter 48: Bad Omen

The face of Master Sun Jiu hidden under the gas mask is not a “human face” at all, the facial muscles are contracted and purple, a twisted “veins, blood vessels”, all protruding out from under the skin, the two godless eyes are densely covered with blood filaments, like two dark red ghost flames. The two godless eyes were covered with blood filaments, resembling two dark red ghost flames.

“The corpse has changed!” This thought flashed in my mind, and I hastily withdrew my steps and retreated from in front of him, and the “engineer’s shovel” had been pulled in my hand, and at the same time, I held the “carrying bag” at my waist, and was ready to take out the “Ancient Mirror of Returning to the Ruins” in case of any mishap. “Just in case something happens.

I’m going to move forward when, but found that Sun Jiuji still sitting on the “carved water wood bed” on the motionless, as if a long ago lost soul of the corpse shell general, so that people do not feel a trace of live gas, and did not “Chad corpse” up to pounce, just quietly sitting on the bed, the body of a man, the body of a man. Just sitting quietly at the head of the bed.

The people chestnut six, but also completely puzzled, who also do not know Sun Jiu master exactly how, he had said that he had died, all the signs that happened to him, also said that he suffered some kind of accident, but I always think that there is something strange, how can the world really walking corpse? Must be something else, but now in front of Professor Sun, clearly is a “walking stiff”, the face of a living person can never be so hideous horror.

In the dark and silent room, I seem to be able to hear my own “thump, thump, thump, thump” heartbeat, thinking that such a stalemate, is not the end of the game, no matter if Mr. Sun is a human or a ghost, we have to look at a clear is, and then the “return to the ruins of the bronze mirror” handed to the side of the Shirley Yang, so that she and the youngest sister in the back to take care of.

I and the fat man two people each copy “engineering shovel”, slowly approached the wooden bed, is this time, suddenly heard Sun Jiuji fierce cough, and then stood up faintly, face protruding blood vessels as well as bloodshot eyes, even since slowly return to normal, he saw us carrying a guy face color is not good, then opened his mouth and asked:” What? Do you really want to kill me?”

The people look at each other, all make no sound, I once again took the “return to the ruins of the ancient mirror”, look at Sun Jiuji master in front of a few shaking, I do not know is the bronze mirror wear too serious, or Gua mirror can not suppress corpses, anyway, Sun Jiuji master in front of the mirror no reaction, the mirror can not be reflected in the shadow of his body.

Finally or Shirley Yang spoke up and asked, “Professor, you …… what did you just do?” Professor Sun said: “Nothing, just in the tomb passage after some shock, now it does not matter.”

I couldn’t help but say, “Nine masters, just now you sit on the bed, the face is not very good, I see you live like a tomb in the dumplings at first glance corpse, is it your own did not find it?”

Prof. Sun heard a stunned, muttered: “Discover what? What happened to my face ……” then touched his cheeks, seemed to be oblivious to what just happened, he said to me: “Just now my mind inside a blank, do not know what happened, I’m afraid this is not a good sign. If I really become a walking corpse living stiff, you …… don’t have to be soft.”

I nodded and said, “With your words it’s done, are you okay now? It seems that between us …… we are still able to maintain the state of internal conflict among the people for the time being.”

Professor Sun smiled bitterly and said, “As you said, but hopefully it won’t develop to the step of enemy relationship ……” He paused and added, “Earlier, I thought that if I went into the coffin mountain alone, I would be able to get rid of my ancestor’s sinful karma back then . But now it seems that the ancient tomb in the Earth Immortal Village is treacherous and abnormal, thanks to you guys coming together, I’m afraid I don’t have much time left, we have to go to the Feng family’s old mansion as soon as possible to find the Earth Immortal Feng Shigu.”

I estimate that the final answer to all the mysteries, are hidden in the village of the Earth Immortal Fengshigu, the heart also has the intention of a quick solution, so no longer with the Sun Jiuzi continue to entangle, just want to greet the crowd to move, but heard Shirley Yang asked Professor Sun said: “You and the Earth Immortal Fengshigu after all the same clan, do you really want to go to dig up their own ancestral graves?”

My heart moved, “Shirley Yang asked this sentence so aptly, it is exactly the sentence I have always wanted to ask but never asked, I wonder how Sun Laojiu will answer.”

Only to hear Prof. Sun let out a long sigh and said, “Think of my Guanshan Feng family, generations have received the imperial seal, how illustrious was it back then? If not for Feng Shigu’s determination to seek immortality and violate the ancestral teachings, he would not have buried all his properties in the coffin mountain, which in the end made the Feng family wither away, not to mention that he was not in the right mind, compelling countless people to be buried as his martyrs. What do we Chinese value most? I have no children in my life, and I see that in my generation, the Guanshan Feng family is about to be extinguished, so even if I have to break my bones, I will find Feng Shigu in the coffin mountain, so as to console the spirits of the ancestors in heaven.”

Shirley Yang said: “the whole coffin mountain dead, not like what living people live, Feng Shigu feared that a few hundred years ago died, empty remaining ancient mound deserted village here, now even those ancient skeletons may not be able to find, when the immortal said and how can be taken seriously?”

Professor Sun said: “I am an atheist, but the world can not be counted on, but also where there are, and when Fengshigu had left words, said that one day but also into the world, although I have never seen this person, but listened to my father and brother elders repeatedly mentioned, more than one generation down the old saying, said Fengshigu is not an ordinary generation, he did things, every time unexpected! I can’t believe that he’s really dead until I incinerate his corpse into ashes.”

I interjected: “Seeing is believing, hearing is false, even if the words of the Feng family ancestors personally passed down, more years will inevitably go out of shape. As for what the ascension, the degree of refining into a fairy thing, in the primitive society and feudal society is a very common phenomenon, the ancient people have been pursuing thousands of years, just to get a mirage like the fruit, during which did make a lot of modern people can not imagine the action, if we are not to see with their own eyes, it is absolutely difficult to understand which is really. I think the Earth Immortal Feng Shiku violated the taboo and secretly excavated the tomb of King Wu Yang, what happened to him in the tomb at that time is unknown to us, but this is definitely the most crucial motive for him to build the Earth Immortal Village. Deep underground this coffin mountain, surely buried many ancient secrets, in addition I find this place everywhere permeated with evil, Feng family old mansion even more I do not know what will be the mystery, in any case, since we have arrived here, afraid of useless, simply let go, go in to search him a bottom, only to know that hundreds of years ago the legend of what is really a thing.”

Fatty said, “That’s right, regardless of whether Feng Shigu is a dead body or an Earth Immortal or a Heavenly Immortal, as long as he has a Jindan Mingqi, even if it’s a toad, Fatty Master I have to clench it out of urine.”

Professor Sun also agreed with me, “Coffin Mountain” in the fog, only to find Fengshigu hidden in what place, can then make calculations, but he was not satisfied with the fat man’s words and deeds, think Fatty Wang is a whole “recognize the money does not recognize people” speculators, the “Earth Immortal Village”. The things in the “village of the immortals” are all surnamed Feng, in addition to the old Feng family, no one is allowed to touch.

I excused the fat man: “In fact, the essence of this comrade is still good, although there was a time to drill money eyes, touch the money side, in the tide of reform and opening up lost the direction of the struggle, but with the practice of crawling and rolling around for a few back and forth, and now he is not too too much to take the wealth too seriously, only … … . only still more keen to devote himself to the process of touching gold and pulling out Ming ware.”

Fatty said: “That’s right, or old Hu understand me, money is a son of a bitch ah, fat master I am the kind of people who forget their roots? We are poor and penniless, the bottom of the root will never change, my father participated in the Red Army before the poor are leaking buttocks, not still going north to fight the Japanese devils? So we are not afraid to be poor, poor and honorable. But Sun Jiuji, this guy’s character is more suspicious, behavior which is like a tested old intellectuals?”

I said: “Sun Jiu master is a quantitative or qualitative change? Just based on the surface phenomenon is not good to say, we have to continue to observe, do not easily make conclusions.” Said looked at the table, the delay in the underground mansion is not long, no need to rest, let the group immediately set off to the “Feng family old house”.

So all the people are shaking their spirits, immediately out of the room, look around, is entering the ancient town of the street, not far from the bombing of the “Cannon God Temple”, “Earth Immortal Village” in a pink walled red walled buildings, in the darkness looks like In the darkness, the buildings in the “Earth Immortal Village” with their pink walls and red walls looked like white ghosts standing solidly in the darkness.

Along the street to the depths of the walk, only to see each family is like a “ghost house” general silence is surprising, no earthly weather, if the ground that “Qingxi ancient town”, is a kind of abandoned after the dilapidated and barren; this is hidden deep in the coffin mountain “Earth Immortal Village”, is completely give a person a kind of “paper” feeling, it seems to be all framed out of the paper – a piece of paper specially burned for the dead in the netherworld. “Underworld Mansion”. From the inside to the outside, every place is shrouded in a bizarre atmosphere of uncertainty, probably because the “coffin mountain” is really too dark, the eyes see everything is indistinct, so that people feel extremely unreal.

Every house, we will peer into the house, but did not see a coffin in the house, or a corpse, the room utensils intact, have fallen a thick layer of dust, it seems that after the completion of the building, no one has ever lived in the living people to go in and live.

All the people heart doubts deeper, but do not know, so no longer go to a building to look at the residence, located in the heart of the village of the earth immortal “Feng family old house” and line.

Walked for a long time, facing a high wall blocking the way, and did not see the illustrious vermilion lacquer portal and the ancient pagoda, but in front of this wall is very wide and high, the weather is not trivial, the village of the earth immortal in addition to the “Feng family mansion”, where there is such a scale of the mansion?

We stood in front of the wall, slightly stunned, and then we realized: “Eighty percent is the outer wall of the Feng family’s back house.” Fatty intended to follow the wall to find a back door to enter, I pulled him back and said, “What back door? That’s unorthodox. I heard my grandfather say, ancient big family mansion, often in the front and back of the two doors and the corner of the door with a night dragon, specifically to prevent the overturning of the high head of the flying horse thieves.”

The youngest sister also said that in the early years there is really this thing, “night dragon” also belongs to the “honeycomb mountain” in the pin, and “a nest of bees” and other nest offspring rockets are similar to more hidden under the eaves of the doorway, hit the It is not a child’s play to hit it, and it is better to go in over the wall.

I said: “The Immortal Fengshigu is not a good master, it is hard to say whether there are night dragons in the mansion, we would rather believe it than not, avoid the portals, and enter the mansion through the back wall.” That said, we are five people do not have “turn high head” flying wall skills, then by Shirley Yang took out the “Flying Tiger Claw” to, in the hands of two shakes, thrown in the eaves, she and the youngest sister child two light body, the first on the wall to go.

The rest of me and the fat man, first built half a “human ladder”, the Sun nine masters to the wall, and then I spent nine oxen and two tigers, only to the fat man to the top, it was my turn to drag the chains stomped up the wall, staring at the wall, the wall seems to be a backyard garden, under the wall are flowers and trees, the people hanging on the body of the tactical spotlight beams a sweep, but also reflected the Garden flowers and plants “green color compelling, cold light,” the original Feng family old mansion planted in the backyard of the grass and trees, are glazed gems and jade coral inlaid, not real grass real wood.

I cursed a good landlord head, than the emperor’s son will also set the scene, if not digging a lot of mountains and mounds, which have these rare treasures? This garden in the agate jade tree, I am afraid that all from the tomb of the Ming ware.

Fatty also lying on the eaves of the wall to see two eyes straight: “My master, this time we can really come.” At this time do not care about the high wall shaking, relying on thick skin, directly rolled down the wall.

I hastened to make a gesture, let the group from the wall down, I jumped to the courtyard, quickly rushed to the fat man behind, reached out to drag him: “unjust enrichment, take no harm, but everything has priority, now first find the immortal Fengshigu important, Wang Commander, but you are the character of a deep understanding of the righteousness of the character, don’t learn this small family as a quick success.”

The fat man played up two skin face to say: “These days no matter who, as long as mention the four words of deep understanding of justice, no need to ask, he is certainly a master of the world of deception, we do not need to follow them to participate in the …….”

At this time Shirley Yang seems to have discovered something, she interrupted us and said to the crowd: “There seems to be something over there, I’ll go over and take a look first.” Said the “Golden Steel Umbrella” through the flowers and trees, and walked towards the depth of the courtyard.

I worry that she had a lapse, quickly greeted the remaining three people from the back to follow closely, only out of the distance of a few meters, see the garden has a huge black shadow, to the nearer to see, the original is a sealed tree just like the mound, the top of the arc-shaped grave, there is a jade piled up into the “bright building”, the bright building of about half a meter high, can only play a decorative role, can not allow people to enter the building, the bright building can only play a decorative role. It can only play a decorative role, and cannot allow people to enter.

I was a little confused, and now I feel even more puzzled, this coffin mountain “ground fairy village”, can really be called “ground in the mountain, mountain in the house, house in the grave”, I have never seen this kind of ring around each other from the “Yin Mansion”, all I know is that the “Yin Mansion”, the “Yin Mansion”, the “Yin Mansion”, the “Yin Mansion”, the “Yin Mansion”, the “Yin Mansion”. Yin House”, I know that all heard of the secret art of Feng Shui, in this also all do not come into play, can not help but think back to the unloading of the Ling thief Chen blind that – “Guanshan Taibao do, even the gods also guessed that he could not”, Feng Shigu this What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

Sun Jiuzi although he knows a lot of things related to the “Coffin Mountain”, but the “Earth Immortal Village” in the Feng family’s old mansion, as well as Feng Shigu’s secret, it is completely unclear, look at the mansion in the mound, but also feel extraordinarily surprised, circling around the mound for a week, but also do not see the There are inscriptions and stone carvings, not to mention that there is no tomb door exposed on the ground.

But behind this peculiar grave, there is a three-story two surplus attic building attracted the attention of the crowd, the main body of this building are wooden structure, from top to bottom is “blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings”, the attic door and the layout of the situation of the mansion is reversed, facing the backyard of the huge mound, the door hangs horizontally on the “Guanshan hidden bone building The door is hung with the words “Guanshan Hidden Bone Building”.

Sun Jiuji said: “This building in the former Fengjia old mansion should not exist, never heard the old generation of people mentioned, the true body of the immortal will not be hidden in the building?”

One of the iron rules of the gold fighting, is to see what strange things only as invisible, see the strange, its strange since the defeat, not blindly ask blindly say, and not allowed to unauthorized move things in the tomb, because of curiosity, some hidden organs ambush mausoleums, often show to the false, the use of grave robbers of this psychological, once triggered the poisonous smoke, crossbows, sand and so on the traps, Lohan gods and goddesses also want to be harmed in the life.

But I’m still ready to go into the building to explore, in order to prevent any eventuality, the first “return to the ruins of the ancient mirror” taken out in the hands, asked Sun Jiuji said: “If the Fengshigu really become a corpse immortal, must not be ordinary zombies can be compared to our mirror can not be able to suppress him? After all, the Taoist is one foot tall, the devil is one foot tall ah.”

Sun Jiuzi said: “The words are this sentence, the reason is not such a reason, the so-called evil can not prevail, not in the size of the length of the Road, this foot, is ultimately to be pressed in the devil that a ten feet above the return of the ruins of the ancient mirror is the heirloom of the bronze secret weapon, there is this thing in the evening, do not have to worry about any accidents, but just need to be careful to guard against hidden hidden weapons in the building to injure people.”

I do not believe that there is what “corpse fairy”, and “return to the ruins of the bronze mirror” is the face of the trigram mirror, although the back of the mirror can still be used to illuminate the candles to account for the test, but the mirror has long been worn out of shape, and really encountered the “dead and not melt the thing! “, can not be expected to use it to resist, just now have this question, just want to explore Sun Jiuji’s reality, get a reply, then nodded, thinking about the people to be divided into two groups, one group into the building to find the immortal Fengshigu, the other group to stay outside the building to receive.

I was about to make a temporary deployment, but unexpectedly raised his eyes, found that the “Guanshan building” in front of the grave suddenly seeped out a lot of black water, busy walk to the near out of the inspection, only to see the grave brick cracks are full of dirty blood, fishy smell touches the brain, nauseating.

I use emei probe, look at the tip of the knife stained traces, is indeed blood. shirley yang qi said: “how the grave will flow out of blood?” I covered my nose and said, “This is corpse blood, not fresh blood.”
