Chapter 74: Seven Doors Tune 5
After walking for six or seven hours, Mu Feng took Ying Rebellion to the old site of the cottage located in the middle of the mountain, which was indeed a dilapidated appearance as Huzi said, the gate was gone, some of the houses had completely leaked, and even the walls had been demolished. It is said that when it was broken in those years, it was also smashed hard, there were cobwebs everywhere, and the ground was full of rubble, and there was not even a place to rest.
Mu Feng walked back to the room where he had lived, the windows on the wall had long since fallen apart, the furniture in the room had long since been emptied, and perhaps the bed he once slept in had been burned as wood.
"What's that?" Ying Yi saw a string of white paper flowers on the beams, not just when they were hung, but they didn't care to look at it and thought it was just a ball of waste paper, some of which looked like things used in funerals. It's not that it's rebellious, but in this place full of dust, this white paper flower looks a little abnormal.
Xiao Huang jumped to the beam and rolled the string of paper flowers with his tail, and took such a close look, and found that the two ends of this string of paper cuts were actually two patterns similar to paper figures, which was really weird.
It's just that after this thing was rolled down by Xiao Huang, no other changes have occurred.
In order to prevent any changes, Mu Feng took out a match and burned it, and the paper flower seemed to be like ordinary paper, and there was no special smell in the process of burning.
Mu Feng circled around the cottage, here Ying Wei didn't feel that anything would resonate like the fluctuations on the wall of Qin Wei's house, and the two decided to combine the direction of the formation treasure cave that Xiao Huang perceived and the secret cave in the mountain that Mu Feng knew, and check them out one by one.
"You're sharp-eyed, and I've wasted a paper figure." Zheng Chun, who was at the foot of the mountain, was about to go up the mountain to track Mu Feng, but he walked unhurriedly.
I saw Zheng Chun wearing a black robe in the hot summer of August, fortunately walking in the mountains, if he walked on the street, he would definitely be pointed at.
Zheng Chun's hand was dragging a palm-sized paper figure at this time, and he didn't have too elaborate craftsmanship, and he didn't even paint it, just a miserable white paper figure. However, on its round head, two eyeballs were suddenly pointed, and they were still terrifying blood-red eyes, and this eyeball, which was originally painted, turned up, which was very terrifying!
What's even more strange is that from the mouth of this paper man, a language that has never been heard before, the paper man is reporting to Zheng Chun about the situation of going up the mountain, Zheng Chun actually understands it, and communicates with it.
He already knew that Mu Feng and Ying Wei had already explored three caves, but unfortunately they were not caves with treasures.
That's right, Zheng Chun was monitoring Mu Feng's walking route. He had been in the mountains for many years, and he had already laid down paper figures in the caves he had visited, and the caves were so dim that if he didn't check them inch by inch, he would rarely be able to find them. And as soon as someone enters, these paper figures will report to him.
Zheng Chun took out a map, which was densely packed with markers, recording the entire cave of Yiwu Lushan that he had explored, and even a few tombs of the Liao Dynasty, but Zheng Chun had no interest in regular tombs, even if this tomb belonged to the imperial tomb.
Zheng Chun put a cross on the three caves that Mu Feng had been to just now, he nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that Mu Feng had taken the right route, he had been waiting for someone to enter the Jieshui Cave, which was the treasure cave he had been thinking about for decades. Finally waiting for someone to enter that place!
Zheng Chunyin laughed, he was not afraid that these two people would dig up the treasure in the cave, if these two people did not compete with the dangerous thing in the cave, how could he profit.
Since the death of the master, Zheng Chun has been looking for people who have the ability to enter the Jieshui Cave, and this time there happened to be two people who sent them to the door, and someone gave them free pillows when they were really dozing.
If you want to say why Zheng Chun is so sure that Mu Feng and Ying Rebellious are capable people, this is still from his mother Sun Ling.
In fact, Sun Ling's postpartum mental state has become very strange, always suspicious and the relationship with Huzi is getting worse and worse, only when he treats his son Zheng Chun better, which is explained by modern medical reasons is postpartum depression. However, Huzi didn't understand this disease, and the failure to treat Sun Ling in time made her condition worse and worse.
Sun Linghui's ancestral paper-binding skills are a part of the funeral industry at best, and some spells can be learned at a deeper level. After Sun Ling entered the cottage, she also heard the story of Mu Junshi, and later her spirit was abnormal from time to time, regardless of whether it was suitable or not, she even taught Zheng Chun, who was only six or seven years old, the ancestral craft, and also told Zheng Chun about these mysterious things.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Zheng Chun wrote down everything Sun Ling said, Huzi's scruples are right, Zheng Chun is completely different from his younger brother Zheng Mu, he is not the same as Huzi, he has been very smart since he was a child.
After Sun Ling's death, Zheng Chun had the opportunity to apprentice to enter an extraordinary world, and noticed that his master paid special attention to Yiwu Lu Mountain, and his master seemed to be looking for a certain cave. And his master accepted Zheng Chun only because Zheng Chun grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he knows the terrain here very well, so he can help find the target quickly.
Zheng Chun didn't mind his master's use at all, although he was only ten years old at the time, but in that year, Huzi got married for the second time, Zheng Chun was away from home all day, and he also wanted to get benefits from his master.
As far as the master himself said that he knows the Manchu shamanic technique, one of them, the master has a great ability to cut paper, can cut a plain piece of paper out of all kinds of unimaginable beautiful pictures, it is said that paper is spiritual, if you learn to manipulate it, you can go deep into all corners of this world.
Zheng Chun learned the art of paper-cutting very quickly, and the master praised him for his talent, Zheng Chun felt that this might be because he had learned the relationship between paper-binding people, and the two seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but they were both making a fuss with paper.
Zheng Chun walked up the mountain step by step, he remembered the master who died a few years ago, and he just smiled heartlessly. In fact, at the beginning, he didn't think about monopolizing the treasures of Jieshui Cave, who let the master not be able to get home, and if he couldn't fight, he would be killed instead. Since the master is dead, of course, this good thing will be left to the apprentice. Now it's time for someone to fight with the contents of the cave and let him pick up the bargain.
Although Zheng Chun didn't know what treasures were hidden in the Jieshui Cave, it must be a treasure that could bring his skills one step closer, otherwise why would the master spend decades to get his hands on it.
Although Mu Feng and Ying Wei on the mountain did not find the paper figures that were hidden by Zheng Chun as eyeliner in the caves, Xiao Huang once again keenly felt this sense of surveillance without aura fluctuations, and this time they had a clear object of suspicion - the paper man.
Mu Feng remembered a record in Liu Quan's "Treasure Hunting Record", which was only briefly introduced by the shopkeeper when translating, because the three brothers of Liu Quanshi, who was in that treasure spot, did not enter to explore. At that time, he was in a hurry, and the shopkeeper Zhang also briefly translated about Liu Quan's feeling that they were being targeted by inexplicable things in one place, but after searching for a long time, he only saw some small paper figures.
"Brother Win, don't you think that our current situation is somewhat similar to a record in Liu Quan's diary, they entered a deserted old mansion, obviously there was no one around, but they always felt that someone was watching them. Then they found the strangeness of the house, which had no living people in the place, but paper figures in every room. This paper figure was very strange, and when Liu Quan and the others wanted to quit, they came to life automatically without wind and attacked Liu Quan and the others. ”
After listening to it, Ying Wei felt that Mu Feng's guess was eight out of ten. Nine is right, "I remember Liu Quan said that these paper figures are from the Seven Gates!" Lao Zhang hadn't translated in detail how they repelled the paper figures, but just brought it over with a sentence, as if Liu Quan was wielding a sharp blade to cut those flying paper figures into pieces. ”
"If it's really a seven-door tune, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome."
When Mu Feng said this to Ying Wei, they had already entered the Jieshui Cave, where Xiao Huang strangely didn't feel that kind of surveillance.
The name Jieshui Cave is the name of Zheng Chun and his master for this cave, Mu Feng did not know its name, this cave is different from the previous caves, it is not a natural cave, it is obviously artificially dug, and the age can be traced back to the Liao Dynasty.
This cave Mufeng used to be, and the location of this cave is very hidden, surrounded by vines, hidden behind a small waterfall. At the beginning, the big boss thought about using this place as a material reserve hole, but later gave up because it had a mechanism inside.
As the name suggests, there is water in Jieshuidong. The square is called the stele, and the round is called the pillar.
The hole itself is a little deep, who would have thought that when they came to the end, they actually found a stone, which was engraved with Khitan script, and the wooden seal and the big boss of the year were incomprehensible, they just saw that behind this stone was a stone wall that looked like a tomb wall, and the two immediately gave up the plan to be a storage hole. At that time, there were not enough manpower in wartime, so there was no spare time to dig a tomb.
And now there is no feeling of being watched in this cave, which makes Mu Feng even more nervous. There is something wrong with the other caves, why is there no more here? Can't the people in the Seven Gates go deeper?
Speaking of the Seven Sects, it is not a simple sect.
There are all kinds of folk circulation, one door gold, two door skin, three door color, four door hanging, five door commentary, six door group, seven door tune, eight door willow, so people may not understand at first glance, in turn, it is actually a person who looks at the hexagram, sells medicine, conjures up, practices the style of selling art, commentaries, crosstalk, canopy paper, and drums.
The other ones are hard to say, but the seven doors are indeed very particular, and the paper people are buried with the dead, and there is a meaning of burying the living with the paper people. It is rumored that he is really a master of paper, and he never gives the paper man the finishing touch, just like the finishing touch, if he puts the finishing touch to the paper man, the paper man can come back to life!
The Seven Sects are trained in the kung fu on paper, they manipulate the paper, turn it into a human form, and give them extraordinary powers, if you trace back to the origin and the Fu Gong sect has a deep involvement, one is to paint yellow paper with cinnabar, and the other is to directly give the paper the power of living creatures.
But I don't know if the paper man who is monitoring them in Xiao Huang's feeling is from the hand of Qimen Tune, and why is there no paper man here to continue to monitor?
"I feel it, Qin Reyi's things should be here." Ying Yi felt the resonance fluctuation, behind this stone wall is the treasure hiding place of Qin Yi, and now he must go in and take a look.
