Chapter 56: The Sacrificial Monument
I said to the crowd, “Let’s go deeper into the Earth Immortal Tomb first, and see what happens on the way.” As I said this, I swept the light of the spotlight, wanting to see the scale and pattern of the Earth Immortal’s Tomb before paying any attention to it.
Seeing the latticework door after the tomb passage are all stacked bricks, on the upper side is the arc-shaped “coupon roof”, there are two types of monuments in the Coffin Mountain, one belongs to the period of the Witchcraft Culture, the other belongs to the late Ming Dynasty’s Earth Immortal Village’s buildings, the latticework hall is built in the late Ming Dynasty’s Palace, the scale of which is not as grand as the tomb of the Woolly Goat King, a person in the narrow tomb passage can touch the zenith above once they raise their hands. In the narrow tomb passage, one can touch the zenith above with one hand.
On both sides of the turn wall of the tomb, each embedded with a row of candlesticks withered lamps, a few pieces of tile scattered in the corner of the tomb door, I see the situation is already “Huashan Road a”, there is no support in the tomb, it is difficult to allow people to maneuver, can not help but become more and more agitated in mind, and then intend to go in with a hard head.
I was about to greet the movement of people to the depths of the tomb, but saw Sun Jiu master stood in front of the tomb wall, with his hand to pull the lampstand, behavior is very strange, my heart immediately sank, this Sun Laojiu life of humiliation and responsibility, the mind of the unfathomable, never a good Lord, he pulled out the lamps from the tomb wall, naturally, is not to go to learn to do good deeds, do you want to touch the mechanism will be the crowd will not be exhausted?
I read here, can not help but nameless fire, went forward and grabbed his collar, asked: “What do you want to come out of the moth?” Fatty said in the back: “This old boy, surely want to take advantage of our defenselessness, secretly turn the mechanism to transfer the Mingqi, quickly said the village Mingqi are hidden where?”
Shirley Yang pressed down my hand that grabbed Master Sun Jiu and asked him, “Professor what are you trying to do?” Sun Jiuji was full of anxiety and said, “The lamps in the tomb are full of paste mud left over from the volatilization of the yang flint, which is as unclean and filthy as black dog blood, tiankui and other things, smearing it on the doorway and saying that it can’t be able to block the corpse fairies.” Said while picking out the black ointment in the lamp, to the latticework door of the Earth Immortal’s tomb to wipe.
The youngest sister wondered, “Professor Ninth Master, this is not allowed to move ah, I heard that if a man touches the heavenly anemone, or a woman touches the black dog blood, all have to jump in the fire pot to get rid of the bad luck.”
Sun nine master called: “fire, can not care about that much, you quickly hands to help me a hand!”
I don’t have the superstitious thinking of the youngest girl in the mountains, Sun Jiuji words will be skeptical, although I have heard of Tiankui is the woman’s menstruation, and the black dog blood is the same thing that breaks the demonic law, but I never knew that the Yang flint left behind the rotting oil can have the evil of the use of the.
The gold is always “respect the ghosts and gods far away”, no one can say the things of the netherworld, in the ghost of the place of the ghost is not strange, but I have never heard of someone “tomb raiding encounter immortal”, these rotten mud can really work? With the previous lessons, I had to be more careful about him.
At this time, I suddenly had a murderous spirit, I want to kill Professor Sun, in the tomb of the earth immortal, everywhere dangerous, this person is armed with demonic magic, always bring him around too dangerous, to my experience, Sun Jiuzi’s previous account of the things, there should be a few points of credibility, but as for him to say that he had died before entering the tomb, and then said that the residual oil in the lamp can prevent the corpse immortal to enter the tomb, these facts in the teaching of the people are difficult to figure out, I can not guess what he actually sells in his gourd. I couldn’t figure out what kind of drugs he was selling, if there was a possibility of threatening the lives of my companions, I would never be soft on him.
But I immediately put down this idea, after all, the head is not a leek, leeks cut a crop can continue to grow, that the head fell but never grow back, Sun Jiu master this life is not easy to live, I can not just rely on their own ideas on the decision of the life and death of others, the most important thing at this time is to be rational and calm, and then thought, “Sun Jiu master is a family origin, the oral and oral teachings of some of the ancestor’s The real skill, maybe I am a frog in the well, this is too little to see.
Professor Sun did not know in this instant, my brain after a fierce struggle of ideas, just urging the crowd to help, Shirley Yang and Missy are pulled out the Emei thorns, from the lamp embedded in the wall to scrape the rotting oil, painted to the latticework hall on the door of the tomb.
Master Sun Jiuzi had a good time, see the tomb door is almost sealed, the tomb bricks are engraved with formations and incantations, do not have to worry about them to come in through the wall, this is a sigh of relief, and scrape some more withered clay-like putrefied oil, in a kettle to prepare to deal with Feng Shigu, he saw that Fatty and I have always stood by and watched, so he said in dissatisfaction, “Are you two still do not trust me? This kind of formula is recorded in the Record of Excavations in Guan Shan, if you don’t believe me, go and see for yourselves.”
I saw that there was really no longer any movement outside the tomb door, which was slightly convinced, but on the mouth said, “Trust is like a fortune, but Master Sun Jiu you have long been overdrawn in me, and also owed a debt.”
Sun Jiuzi coldly snorted, “Although I dragged you into this muddy water, but you touch the gold lieutenants will dare to say that there is no half a bit of selfishness?”
He said this really will be my question, at least fat man and I in addition to want to find Dan save people, but also did play in the village of the Earth Immortal rare artifacts ideas, I do not want to dwell on this matter, looking for excuses is meaningless, then said to him: “Now we are all tied to a grasshopper on a rope, more talk is not useful, what is the fault between us, and so pack up the Immortal Feng Shigu then break up the not too late! .” Professor Sun nodded to: “count you know too much, use people not to suspect, suspect people not to use, all my secrets have long been told, you again do not believe me is not right, the Earth Immortal Fengshigu do God and ghosts can not be predicted, fall his bucket can be doubled to be on guard.”
I know that I have said this, but our group is very weak, so how can we be on our guard? Coffin Mountain Tomb of the Immortals is really tricky, layers wrapped around the mountain of the nine deaths of the Tomb of Frightened Armor, tens of thousands of coffins insects, as well as the jade cave in the sudden appearance of the “Corpse Immortals,” any one of which are already enough to make people anxious, now all the people are even difficult to protect themselves, as for the threat to “clean up the Immortals Fengshigu As for the threat to “clean up the Earth Immortal Fengshigu”, I’m afraid it’s only our wishful thinking.
But the current situation we are facing, is a boat against the current, there is no retreat, internal and external factors, are forced to go to the deepest part of the latticework hall, and on the way almost can not take a breath, we had to forcefully suppress the uncertainty in the heart, through the long and narrow low tomb, the end of the end of a round arch shaped ear door, which is sunk in the belly of the Pangu Vein natural jade caves, the moisture is very thick, vaguely a smell of blood pungent. There is a very wide and very long ancient cedar fossilized stone steps, white practice like towering behind the door, looking like a “heavenly ladder”, although in the darkness can not see the hall above, but only look at the scale of the long steps in front of us, we know that it must be non-trivial.
I said to the crowd, look at this formation, the highest part of the stone ladder is most likely the “latticework hall”, in advance to the guys are ready, but who do not act rashly, all listen to my orders to act. Said from the carry bag took out the return to the market ancient mirror to, played a cross tab, the mirror as a “heart mirror” generally tied in front of the chest, the remaining can of kerosene also opened the seal stuffed in the bag.
The fat man has a quick offspring and engineering shovel, there is also a climbing rope temporarily act as a corpse rope, the other three people also copied their own equipment in hand, pulling feet up the ladder, in the beam of the spotlight, you can see the ancient cedar petrified texture such as jade, crystalline and moist, the texture of the majestic and unusual, by the light of the light, as if the cold moon shoots the eye, the silver wave rolled.
The fat man looked breathtaking, asked us to say: “we have not been less knowledgeable over the years, into a number of tombs and mausoleums, did not expect to know what is called eye-opening, that Fengshigu an old landlord head can have a few pounds and a couple of two? Can Feng Shigu, an old landlord head, how much can he do? Can he build such a magnificent latticework temple? Simply look at the steps, randomly chiseled down a piece of more than half can also change a color TV.”
I also feel amazed, said to the fat man: “sword cedar fossils in the Kunlun Mountains, but I have only seen the largest palm-sized bark, but the latticework door is not large, and a land temple, similar to the graves of ordinary princes and nobles in the Ming Dynasty, but how the inner hall is so magnificent?”
Shirley Yang said, “These ancient fossils have many star-fish ancient seal scripts wedged on the surface, probably they are all relics from the period of King Wu Yang, and were not made by Guanshan Taibao.”
At this time, Master Sun Jiu also discovered the ancient symbols on the stone steps, stopped to look at a few lines, seemed to see some kind of wonders, nodded his head repeatedly, and climbed up another step to look at the ancient seals on the surface of another layer of stone steps.
I asked him what the meaning of the ghostly symbols engraved on it was. Could it be the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book? Sun Jiuji said: “You think about the trigrams all day long, but the end of the matter, the ancient text is far deeper than the secrets of the trigrams, the history of our civilization has been passed down from generation to generation, but not all rely on the old ancestors to create these words to? Whether you are preaching, or to align the family, the country and the world, which do not need it? In the past, there were always leaders who accused me of studying ancient characters without meaning, really ratty.”
I listened to so impatient, do not look at what time now, still talk about these old Taoism? I was about to urge him to hurry into the temple to rob the tomb, but Sun Jiu said, don’t worry, these ancient fir fossils on the star fish traces are very unusual, is indeed the ancient remains of the period of the Wuyang King, probably move the mountain Wuling King’s true face is recorded in it.
Master Sun Jiu said that the ancient fossilized cedar stone steps should have been there a long time ago, look at the content of the ancient seal script, it seems to be buried in the Coffin Mountain Pangu God vein “confession monument”, the so-called “Wuyang King”, and “move the mountain Wuling King”, including that the sheep to open the river, are the later generations circulated in folklore of the ancient legends, can not be trusted, in fact, the real identity of the headless king, should be a generation of witch in the culture of witch and evil witch, the land of Bashu by the deep influence of witch and Chu culture, but also a self-contained, there is no king’s name, witch is equivalent to the military and political power of the country’s leader, the weekend of the king of Shu Kai Ming The king of Shu at the weekend, Kai Ming, is the descendant of the clan.
The Jade Cave in the Pangu Corpse Vein is the birthplace of the culture of “witchcraft, astrology and funerals”, and this place is a unique feng shui vein with “mountains shaped like corpses and dark springs that look like blood”, but it is a pity that the veins in the Coffin Mountain have died as early as in the period of the King of Wuling, leaving only the mountains full of hanging coffins and valleys. The mountains and valleys are full of hanging coffins and jade jewels, as well as the thousand-year-old relics such as the confession monument and the sacrificial and burial hall in the jade cave.
Due to the huge scale of the ancient fossilized fir stacked confession monument, in which the ancient seal scripts of the star fish are too dense to be counted, Prof. Sun was not able to identify them one by one, and only looked at a very small portion of it, together with a little bit of speculation from what he had seen and heard earlier, he got the information that probably Feng Shigu, the Guanshan Taibao, had made the yin and yang mansions of Dixian Village after exhausting all his effort, in order to revive this divine vein, and the monuments in the jade cave of the Pangu Vein were also converted into a disemboweled “Latticework Hall”. Sun Jiuzi asserted that if more clues are collected, we may be able to find out the secret of Feng Shigu’s transformation into an immortal. He thought he found that the secret text on the stele sacrificing to the mountain repeatedly mentioned that there had been a “spirit” in Pangu Vein that had appeared in the netherworld, and that it may have been the “Corpse Immortal” that Feng Shigu had discovered in the first place. It’s likely that Feng Shigu discovered the “Corpse Immortal”.
But our light source is limited, can not be maintained for too long, the tomb is not a place of leisure, which allows a slow search, we can only no longer pay attention to those dazzling ancient seal inscriptions, and go to the end of the long steps to look for the coffin of the Earth Immortal, who knows that to the heights, raise their eyes upward to see, we all feel unexpected, and the heart of the cooler more than a half a block, no one thought that the so-called “latticework Hall Who did not expect the so-called “latticework hall” will be so, the gods also can not find him Fengshigu where to hide.
In the jade cedar stacked “ladder” at the end, not flying eaves fighting Palace of the underworld, but the jade vein naturally born on the four walls, shaped like a city, just like a large palace, a palace door between the walls, which is a slice of grayish-brown Lingxing rock rock composed of a group of burial chambers, the size of the village of the Immortals in the yin and yang should be similar to the two mansions.
The Lingxing rock pillar group, which is similar to the house, is a natural wonder that exists under the ground of “Coffin Mountain”. Its situation is undulating and uneven, like a collapsed and disorderly residence in the city, which is blocked by the jade wall and isolated from the outside world, and there is only a doorway connecting to the “Sacrifice Monument”. Perhaps this is where the name Latticed Star Temple comes from.
Latticework Palace Palace, is in the corpse-shaped mountain belly in the chalcedony rock layer, here is wrapped in the Pangu vein inside a huge jade cave, just like being emptied out of the human body hidden in a jade box. This kind of asterite landforms are mostly found in deep mountains and valleys, some like basalt on the island, China’s Jiangsu Province, Liuhe County, the pillar of the mountain is very similar to it, perhaps the Coffin Gorge in hundreds of millions of years ago experienced a sea of change, only in the belly of the mountain appeared in such a bizarre and spectacular rock formations.
But as far as I know, the underground Lingxing rock layer can be formed by sea erosion, it is more likely to be stripped by the feng shui qi and born, this heaven and earth there is the yin and yang two gas, from the chaos of the five elements, the five elements of the gas, “in the sky for the image, in the ground forming”, ghosts and wizards of the creation of the wonders of the common people can not imagine.
