Volume 2 The Strange Tomb of Southern Xinjiang Chapter 69 The Charm on the Door
"Looks like you know about the Locking Wood too?" Situ Feng looked at me again.
This time I didn't shirk and nodded. Although I didn't see that this wooden door was made of lock wood, I had heard of the name of lock wood.
"You know? What the hell is that locking wood? Jarzi hurriedly asked me.
When I said this, all eyes were on me again.
So, I told you what I knew.
"Actually, it is not a specific type of tree, but a tree that grows in a specific location. I also said that everything in the world is composed of yin and yang, but there are some places in the world that have extreme yin or extreme yang. In those places of extreme yin, there will be a steady stream of yin qi throughout the year, and there is often no grass there. But there are no absolutes in the world, and there are also some places where there are extremely yin places where trees will grow, and they are still very lush. The trees that grow in such a place are called shade-locking trees after they reach the age of 100 years, and they are said to have the effect of locking shade and fixing qi. Since there are not many trees that can grow in the extreme shade, let alone more than a hundred years old, there are very few trees. Therefore, the lock yin wood is extremely rare and rare in the world. I explained to everyone, "There is a legend that someone made a coffin for the deceased out of the lock wood, and as a result, the soul of the deceased was never reincarnated, but was locked in the coffin by the lock wood forever, and there was no escape!" ”
"Yes, as far as I know, that's true!" Situ Feng said, "In the Nanyang Evil Arts, there are also cases where the Yin Locking Wood is used to trap the resentful spirits for their own use. ”
"Isn't it true that you can do that with magic? Then why don't you use magic here, but use this kind of wood, which is expensive and troublesome, and the key is that it is not easy to find! The jar complained.
"I don't need you to look for it, where are you complaining so much?" I replied to him.
"It's not easy to explain?" Wang Yuesheng explained, "Show off! This is just like the tomb door we saw before, the iron door can be anti-theft, and the white marble door can also be anti-theft, but the royal mausoleum will choose the white marble door as the tomb door. And that's not a show-off. Show off the supremacy and omnipotence of imperial power! The more they do things that are not easy to do, the more they show their strength, doesn't it? ”
"Hmm~ Makes sense!" Tanzi pinched his chin and nodded knowingly.
At this time, this tomb door made of locking wood has been slowly pushed open by Park Yinan and others.
It was silent darkness, but there was a glimmer of light from it, like a star in the night, limited in brightness, but so striking. All of us didn't have time to look inside the door when our eyes were immediately drawn to the light of this.
The light came from far inside, and it was impossible to see what it was coming from, so we had to move on. But before we got closer to the light, we looked around.
It's a huge hall, unlike any of the burial chambers we've seen before, the walls of this hall are all made of wood and enveloped inside, and even the "wooden floor" under our feet is pure wood. Of course, you don't need to guess the material of these woods to know, it is a lock wood. We were really surprised that even a piece of locking wood, which is rarely seen on weekdays, suddenly appeared here in such a large number. We also have to marvel that the ability and influence of the Witch Sect Master are comparable to that of the emperor.
As soon as we entered the chamber, which resembled a hall, we immediately felt an unprecedented cold hit our bodies. This kind of chill is not the kind of cold brought by ice and snow, but a kind of cold that penetrates into the bone marrow. If the temperature in the previous tomb and karst cave is what it should be in the tomb, then this place is like a netherworld, exuding the smell of death everywhere, and it is simply not like the feeling that the world should have.
"Look! There are runes written in red paint on this wall! It's all on the walls, but it's also on the floor! Xu Yunshu also made a discovery.
"Not only the floor, if you look back at the door we just entered, there are also spells drawn!" The altar pointed to the locked wooden door behind him.
Xu Yunshu and I shone our flashlights at the wooden door, and sure enough, we saw a zigzag red symbol painted on it.
"What the hell do these runes do?" Park Yifan asked.
Situ Feng walked to the wall and touched the red rune with his hand, as if he understood, but before he could speak, Cheng Siyuan suddenly shouted: "Bone!" Dead man's bones! ”
Pu Yifan replied impatiently: "In the grave of the dead here, what's so strange about seeing the bones of the dead?" ”
"It's not...... A lot of dead bones! Cheng Siyuan then shouted.
Park Yifan walked over: "A lot?" How many, I'll see ......" Before he could finish speaking, he clearly saw a few white bones scattered in front of him, but when he looked inside, dense white bones covered the ground in front of him, one by one, one by one, and there were at least hundreds of bones from the current point of view......
"This ...... Where did all these skeletons come from? Park Yifan also cried out.
Ma Xiwen looked commonplace, and walked up to explain: "Do you remember the rumor about the Witch Sect Master? It is rumored that he suddenly disappeared into thin air with thousands of followers and believers, and it seems that those thousands of people followed him to the tomb...... That's what we're seeing! Ma Xiwen definitely came to a conclusion.
"I think so!" Situ Feng walked over and said, "The white bones here should be those brought by the Witch Sect Master." And the charms we just saw on the wall are the soul gathering arrays handed down from Shonan, and their functions are no different from the locking yin wood. The addition of the two can be regarded as a double insurance! As for the material of the charm...... It is made of cinnabar mixed with human blood. ”
"Human blood? What kind of human blood? Tanzi asked casually.
Situ Feng waved his hand: "Seeing so many corpses and bones on the ground, isn't it clear what kind of human blood is used?" Locking their souls with the blood of these people complements each other. Since their essence and blood are here, their souls are also completely tied here by the formation. ”
"So what do you mean...... The ghosts of hundreds of people are in this tomb right now? Tanzi swallowed, and looked left and right with some nervousness, as if the ghosts were right next to him, even riding on his shoulders.
"That's how it should be!" Situ Feng gave a definite answer.
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately seemed to be a little nervous, for fear of being found by these resentful spirits that had existed for hundreds of years.
