Chapter 8: Nanming's Resentment
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Father Zeng explained that he and Father Liu were not in the same group, but refused to explain his true identity, and did not allow Mu Qingming and them to enter the secret passage. When the two sides were facing each other, Mu Qingming guessed that the other party was a mausoleum keeper, and suddenly a bloody stench slowly gushed out from the dark passage, and Father Zeng couldn't help but turn around and rush into the dark passage. Mu Qingming and the others followed, and when they came to the end of the dark passage, they saw an empty mound. The empty mound was full of blood, and the ground was full of blood. When Zhao Liang and Liu Yang were shocked, Mu Qingming took a step forward, and while he turned his back to Liu Yang and Zhao Liang, he quietly opened his eyes to take a closer look at the stone Sumeru seat, but saw that there were traces of seals on it, and when he was about to ask Father Zeng in detail, Father Zeng spoke the truth first. 】
Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang stopped in front of the secret passage, looking at the great father who was kneeling not far in front of them, in front of the stone platform of Sumeru.
But I can't see each other's expressions, I don't know if it's joy or sadness?
The underground stone chamber, or the burial chamber where there was only one way to get in and out, was covered with shocking bloodstains. Even on the surrounding walls, there are many splashes; Horror patterns of various shapes are drawn on the walls and floor.
It was like a slaughterhouse that had just completed large-scale slaughter, and the dark red blood stains could touch the nerves of everyone standing in this stone room, making people palpitate.
Although the blood has coagulated, the smell of blood still fills every corner; It seems that after the murderer used this place to kill people and bleed, he closed the entrances and exits, so that the smell of blood also stayed in this underground secret room, and it could not be dispersed at all.
The traces of blood stains all over the ground, as well as the strangely shaped splatters of blood on the walls, looked even more strange under the faint candlelight in Mu Qingming's hands.
Fortunately, all three of them are people who have been through a lot of things; Zhao Liang has seen many murderous scenes, especially after knowing Mu Qingming. And Liu Yang has been dealing with corpses all day long since he studied forensics. Mu Qingming didn't need to say much, he had seen a lot of terrifying and weird things like this.
Therefore, although he was shocked by what he saw, he was not frightened.
And judging from the amount of blood stains and the clues asked before, the twenty-eight female corpses should have been killed here. And the one who opened this secret room should be Daddy Liu who escaped.
The blood-colored butterfly, after stopping on the stone platform of Sumeru for a moment, slowly turned into a small fluorescent light invisible to the naked eye, slowly drifted into the air, and disappeared in Mu Qingming's eyes.
Why did the butterfly finally stop on the stone platform? This made Mu Qingming very confused. And the blood stains around him were almost everywhere, and even the walls were almost sprayed with blood, but the stone platform of Sumeru was spotless, which also made Mu Qingming very curious.
Then he saw that Liu Yang and Zhao Liang were still in shock and could not recover from their senses, so Mu Qingming stepped forward.
In this way, Father Zeng is still facing away from him, and he is facing away from Zhao Liang and Liu Yang, and no one will know when he opens his eyes. In an instant, Mu Qingming's eyes quietly turned cyan, and at the same time, he cast a sharp gaze towards the stone platform of Sumeru.
This is a top-down building with nine parts of the upper fang, six parts of the upper fang and eight parts of the girdle. Further down is the Qing Dynasty Sumeru seat of six parts and eight parts of the lower fang, as well as ten parts of the Guijiao. Between each part, a strip of leather separates it.
Judging from the shape, there is nothing special about this Sumeru stone platform. It's just that what is reflected in Mu Qingming's eyes, outside of this Sumeru seat, there is a little bit of blue fluorescence, scattered all over the stone platform.
These broken fluorescent lights were of different sizes, and Mu Qingming could clearly see the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth, and two kinds of aura, one black and one white, slowly rose from it.
Like the green smoke rising from the incense burner; As a dragon locker, Mu Qingming knew that these fluorescent lights were broken seals.
Mu Qingming was sure that something had been sealed in this place. It's just that because the seal has been shattered, Mu Qingming can no longer tell whether it was a spirit seal or a soul seal that was once here.
"This can't be Chen Yuanyuan's tomb, right?" When Mu Qingming was looking at it, Liu Yang had already recovered from his shock, and immediately asked in a whisper in the ear of Zhao Liang, who had also come to his senses.
Zhao Liang shook his head silently when he heard this. Judging from the patterns in the dark passages outside, what is recorded is indeed Chen Yuanyuan's deeds. But there is nothing else in the stone chamber except for a Sumeru seat. So it is impossible to determine whether Chen Yuanyuan's tomb is buried.
"Young Master Mu." Zhao Liang stretched out his hand, gently put it on Mu Qingming's shoulder, and then asked quietly, "Do you think this is Chen Yuanyuan's tomb?" ”。
At the end, he added: "She is also a princess, and it is normal to have the money to build a catacomb." ”。
The cyan color in Mu Qingming's eyes faded, and he once again returned to his usual form of black inside and white outside, and after a little thought, he also shook his head gently.
Then he slowly walked to Daddy Zeng's side, and by the candlelight in his hand, he turned his head and glanced at Daddy Zeng, but when he saw that the other party was angry, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of self-blame and guilt.
It seems to be angry that someone has entered this place and left the floor covered in blood. But Mu Qingming prefers to believe that someone broke the seal and took away the contents of it, which made Father Zeng angry.
Mu Qingming turned his head casually and looked at the stone platform that was half a foot high, but saw that there was a stone carving painting in the middle. It is also round on the outside and square on the inside, and there is a strange pattern engraved in the box.
A large bronze bottle pattern occupies most of the picture.
The bottle in the picture is a round small mouth, with a slender neck and a spherical belly, and Mu Qingming recognized it at a glance as a common wine vessel in the Warring States period, saying that the bottle is more like a pot.
It's just that what is very strange is the relief pattern on the bottle, the neck is a demon, the shoulder is a dry and thin ghost stepping on the cloud with a steel fork, the abdomen is decorated with a block-like human and ghost Xiangbo, and the lower abdomen is hooked with a karmic fire pattern, and the Duoduo Zelan blooms in the karmic fire.
In the mouth of the bottle, the bursts of evil qi rising up can be seen mixed with a lot of resentful spirits, all of which are carved into the form of struggling and screaming.
Around the bottle, there are ten women, each holding a different finger mudra; Judging from the pattern, their faces were full of solemnity, as if they were sealing the bottle.
Mu Qingming stared at this pattern, quickly recalled the ancient books he had read, and the words "Bronze Ghost Bottle" flashed in his head after a while.
Legend has it that this is the treasure of the ancient ghost king, made of rare black copper collected underground in Kunlun Death Valley, refined with karmic fire, which can absorb human souls and negative energy, such as anger and hatred. It is said that where the ghost bottle appears, people will be affected by the negative emotions in it, so they will become dark and fighting, and even have an uncomfortable mood of being misanthropic and wanting to commit suicide.
Legend has it that this object later fell into the hands of Chi You, but before he could use it, he was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor. After that, the ghost bottle disappeared innocently, and his whereabouts have been unknown since. It's just that the above are just legends, and even an old dragon lock like Mu Qingming has never seen this thing.
I always thought that this was really just a legend, until I saw this picture, Mu Qingming began to believe that maybe such a thing really existed.
"I have been a bottle keeper for generations, guarding this legendary bronze ghost bottle." Father Zeng, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly spoke when Mu Qingming was pondering, hesitated a little after speaking, and said slowly: "For as long as I can remember, my father has been guarding this black bottle here. It's always been in that place. ”。
After saying this, Father Zeng stood up and pointed to the pattern in the middle of the stone platform. Liu Yang and Zhao Liang also walked over, and while looking at the picture, they listened quietly to Father Zeng's narration.
"After my father died, I took on the responsibility of guarding the ghost bottle." Father Zeng broke the silence and whispered in the echoes, "But it's gone now." ”。
"Bottles?" Zhao Liang, who was inexplicably surprised, scratched his head and asked, "Is it the bottle in the picture?" ”。
Father Zeng nodded, and Zhao Liang asked again: "You said that is called a ghost bottle, what is it?" ”。
"This is a bottle that can absorb negative emotions such as resentment, anger and murder, and of course it can also suck ghosts into it. When these emotions are released again, it will affect the emotions of the living. And once the ghost in the bottle is released, it will become a powerful ghost because it has been immersed in the ghost bottle full of negative emotions for too long. All of them, a ghost slaughter is about to begin. Father Zeng said this slowly, and immediately clenched his fists.
"Ghosts?" Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily. In his opinion, there is no such absurd and nihilistic thing in the world.
Mu Qingming then raised his hand to stop him, and at the same time, Father Zeng spoke again and said in a deep voice: "What's so funny about this, if you don't believe it, it doesn't mean that ghosts don't exist; What's more, the bottle carries not only these, but also the grievances of the Nanming sergeant. That's the scariest thing. ”。 Speaking of this, Father Zeng couldn't help but tremble.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yang, who had been stopped by Mu Qingming, laughed again. What a grievance, what a ghost, in his eyes is not only an ethereal thing, but also a joke. The corners of Mu Qingming's mouth twitched, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Enough Liu Chengzuo, let the old man finish first!" After Mu Qingming scolded, Liu Yang stopped laughing again. Mu Qingming then asked, "Nanming's resentment, what is that?" ”。
The fact that the ghost bottle did exist made him very uneasy, coupled with this inexplicable Nanming resentment, which made Mu Qingming even more nervous, and his heart was always dizzy with the feeling that something was wrong.
"Well, that's a long story." Father Zeng sighed lightly and reached out to caress the stone platform. Since Mu Qingming and the others have all come here, it will be useless to continue to hide it.
After thinking about it quickly, Father Zeng decided to explain the ins and outs to Mu Qingming and them first, so that Mu Qingming and them could help and recapture the ghost bottle.
"More than 300 years ago, Emperor Chongzhen died by hanging, and the Southern Ming Dynasty founded the country and continued to resist the Qing Dynasty in southern China." Father Zeng made a faint voice from his mouth, echoing in the stone room with the vicissitudes of the past: "In the tenth year of Yongli (1656), Sun Kewang secretly plotted to usurp the throne, which triggered the internal strife of the Southern Ming Dynasty. At this time, Nanming was already a strong outsider, and seeing that the country was broken, a nameless beggar appeared. ”。
A dusty past that has been sealed for many years and is unknown to the public is like a picture scroll, slowly unfolding with Zeng's father's voice.
What is the relationship between the ghost bottle and the Southern Dynasty? Where does the resentment come from? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
