Chapter 22: Ghosts in the Grave
Xie Bangui stood up and looked down from above, and sure enough, the Angry Jiaohe River was like a dragon winding between the mountains. Even the claws of the dragon on the limbs are vivid, but you can't see the location of the dragon's head.
Xie Bangui pointed to one of the places and said, "I have seen this dragon claw, it is near the old Ya of Zhenshui County, when we were diving in the air, I clearly saw that the river channel there was like a dragon claw stretching out to the riverbank. At the time, I didn't care about it, but now I think about it a little strangely. ”
"Not bad!" Lao Qian also grabbed his head and said: "Even the current Zhenshui County Ya is near a dragon's claw. Could it be that there is a dragon vein under the Nujiao River? Impossible! If there was a dragon vein, it should have been cut off by the imperial court a long time ago, and Gao Yongtai would not have buried people on a waste vein, right? ”
"Nope! He was buried. Old man Gao interjected: "He buried his father, and the way he buried people is also very strange. ”
Xie Bangui asked, "What's the weird method?" The more detailed the better! ”
Old man Gao said: "It was the autumn many years ago, Gao Yongtai was originally preparing for the 100th birthday of the old lady Gao, seeing that the time of the birthday banquet was still a few days away, Gao Yongtai suddenly told me that the old lady had returned to heaven, and when he was buried, I had secretly glanced at the old lady. The old lady's eyes were protruding at that time, and her seven orifices were bleeding, and she was clearly dying violently! What a good person the old lady is, it's a pity! ”
The old man was embarrassed when he talked about the old lady Gao.
Mei Xin'er said: "Even if he dies strangely, what does it have to do with his burial?" ”
"Listen to me!" Old man Gao closed his eyes and recalled: Gao Yongtai did not equip the old lady with a coffin, but asked me to put him in a special jar. The jar was made of brass throughout, and the upper half was no different from an ordinary jar except that it was very large. But the bottom looked like an upside-down disc, and in the middle of the plate were claw-like traps curled up in limbs.
Early the next morning, Gao Yongtai took a large group of servants to carry the empty coffin to the ancestral tomb of the Gao family for burial, but I took a dozen henchmen and servants to a cliff in the lower reaches of the Nujiao River with a dozen henchmen and servants according to his instructions.
At night, there was a sudden rainstorm near the Nujiao River, and I had never seen such a heavy rain in my life, and I watched the river rise like crazy. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the bottom of the cliff, and several servants were afraid and wanted to go back.
Actually, I was also scared, but I didn't dare to disobey Gao Yongtai's intentions. I had to bite the bullet and tell them to go back first, and I would stay there by myself. They were thinking about whether to go first, but Gao Yongtai suddenly appeared on the cliff in the rain and kicked several servants who had returned Zhang Luo into the water. After that, the rest of the people did not dare to speak anymore, and all knelt on the cliff and waited for his orders.
It didn't take long for the Angry Jiao River to suddenly rise up a monstrous wave, the head of the wave was a few feet high, and there was even something turning under the big wave, I don't know if it was a dragon, but the snake would never grow so big, especially those eyes, it was like two lanterns green and faint scary.
Gao Yongtai was so excited that even his body was trembling, which was only when he tortured someone. Finally, he suddenly grabbed the jar containing the old lady's body and threw it into the river.
The jar was not biased and smashed in the middle of the waves, and I clearly heard a dragon's groan, yes, a dragon's groan. I don't know what the dragon's call is, but I promise that no animal I've ever seen made such a loud call.
Old man Gao continued: "At that time, I was frightened, and before I could see what was in the river, I saw a dragon-shaped column of water in the river rising into the sky, holding the jar and flying into the air. At the same time, there was a great wind and thunder in the sky, and several fiery thunderbolts kept circling around the altar, and then there was a particularly loud thunder, which shook us all unconscious. I don't know how long it took, but I woke up first, and I saw a wave pushing the altar upstream to the Nujiao River. ”
At that time, Gao Yongtai also looked back at me, and I will never forget his face. It wasn't a living face at all, not only was it terrifyingly white, but there was also black blood dripping from its seven orifices. He came over, broke the necks of the servants one by one, and threw them into the water. I was scared but I didn't dare to move, I knew that if I moved, I would definitely die, and if I pretended to be unconscious, he might be able to spare my life. Sure enough, he walked up to me and grabbed my neck with his hands, which were cold and cold, without any popularity. But, somehow, he didn't kill me. dragged me a long way before he let me go. ”
"At first, I was glad I escaped. Who would have thought that would be the beginning of my nightmare. Until one day, he stuned me with a shaved drunkenness, broke my head, and sealed my soul. And in front of me, he took out my entrails one by one and threw them into the ditch. Put me whole on the brimstone and smoke it little by little, so that I can't survive and die. ”
"Over the years, I have thought of countless ways to commit suicide, but every time I want to understand myself, I feel a pain that my soul is torn apart, and that kind of pain is not something that people can imagine and bear."
Xie Bangui gasped after hearing this: "He's transporting the coffin and occupying the cave?" No, his practice of sending the body of Old Lady Gao into the dragon's nest is unreasonable, the dragon's lair in feng shui and the dragon's lair are two completely different things. Although there is also aura in the dragon's lair, it is not something that can be borrowed from the Yin House. ”
"What if he wants to refine demons?" Lao Qian interjected: "According to the old man, Jiaolong was hit hard at that time, and he must return to the nest to recuperate." The corpse in the jar will occupy the dragon's body with the help of the dragon's nest aura corpse transformation, and it will be refined into a big demon in a short time. ”
Xie Bangui asked the old man, "Does Old Lady Gao know spells?" ”
Old man Gao shook his head and said: "No, the old lady is just an ordinary old man, if there is anything different about him, it is that he is very kind-hearted." Even ants dare not step to death. ”
Xie Bangui seemed to suddenly think of something and asked urgently: "After burying the old lady, did Gao Yongtai have any abnormal behavior?" How long was it until the old lady was buried when he died? And who buried him? ”
The old man recalled: "After Gao Yongtai buried the old lady, he couldn't speak, and all orders were written by hand. When he died, less than half a year after the old lady died. Before he died, he didn't give any warning, and he sat in the hall drinking tea and suddenly went. I buried him, and it wasn't a burial, but I just put his body into a special potion to soak for a year according to his request, and then make it look like it was on the table. ”
"Anything else special?"
"Also, he instructed me to kill all the servants in the palace within a year and bury him."
Xie Bangui pondered for a moment and said, "If I didn't guess wrong, it wasn't the old lady who was knocked into the altar at all, but Gao Yongtai himself." ”
"Impossible!" The old man denied: "If it is himself, then how can he explain the year he has lived?" What about the corpse I concocted? ”
Xie Bangui analyzed: "Gao Yongtai is a Organ Grandmaster, and it is not difficult to use the Mechanism Technique to be a puppet that stores his soul. I've seen puppets made by the Organ Grandmasters, and the only difference between them and humans is that they can't eat or speak. Although Gao Yongtai stored his soul in the puppet, he couldn't let him speak, so he would direct you to do things in the way of writing. ”
"As for the corpse soaked in the potion...... Xie Bangui paused and said, "His puppet can completely use the complicated secret passage in the secret room to change a corpse to enter, that person may be his direct relative, or he may be a substitute who has been modified by him." After Gao Yongtai's death, did anyone go missing in Gao Jiaji? ”
"Big young master......" Old man Gao exclaimed: "Oh my God, ninety percent of that corpse is the big young master who suddenly disappeared, Gao Yongtai is crazy, he even killed his son!" ”
Mei Xin'er shuddered: "Why do I feel like listening to a story?" ”
Liang Qi interjected: "Although Xie Bangui's analysis sounds a little ridiculous, it is not that he can't be born. In my years in Lingya, I have seen a lot of more outrageous things than this. If you analyze it according to Xie Bangui's thinking, Gao Yongtai did this, first, to cover up his real tomb. The second is to buy yourself time to demonize. ”
Lao Qian shook his head and said: "If you want to cover it up, just kill the whole village directly, why bother so much effort?" ”
"The problem is with him!" Xie Bangui pointed at Old Man Gao and said: "Gao Yongtai knows his old servant better than anyone else, and the reason why he finally wanted to use torture to prolong Old Man Gao's life is to force him to go crazy, go crazy, and make him perverted." Let the madness kill the innocents of Gao Jiaji. ”
"You think, who would dare to approach a village where all the people are dying or missing for no reason one after another? The guards were killed by Old Man Gao silently, will they focus on Gao's family set? Who else will find out where his tomb is? ”
Mei Xin'er said in a daze: "That's right, but isn't he afraid of attracting the people of the secret office?" As long as the four secretaries come out casually, the old man Gao will be exposed, and at that time, it is not the same that someone will reveal his secret. ”
"He's not afraid!" Liang Qi said: "At that time, the four secretaries were fighting for the leadership position, and all the elites were recalled to the headquarters, and no one had time to take care of other things. ”
"Have the four secretaries fought?" When Mei Xin'er heard the past of the secretary, she immediately came to her senses.
Liang Qi sneered: "Peers are enemies, and the four secretaries are not only enemies, but also opponents. In that ranking battle, the Immortal Mansion stood out and occupied the four major secretaries. And it was awarded the honor of the emperor's 'charter to open the mansion'. Therefore, he is the only one who can be called the government among the four secretaries, and the rest must be called the government. However, the Immortal Mansion also lost a lot of masters, and its overall strength plummeted by fifty percent. ”
Mei Xin'er wanted to ask again, but she was pinched by the tall fat man who was so anxious: "I have time to say these things slowly in the future, although Lao Qian is not a person from the secret office, he knows no less about these than the people in the secret office." When you're done, let him tell you for three days and three nights. ”
The tall fat man turned his head and asked, ignoring Mei Xin'er's protests: "Brother, what you just said so much is your speculation, what about the evidence?" Now our lives are in your hands, and if you guess a little wrong, we'll all have to finish the game! ”
Xie Bangui smiled: "The evidence is in the grave of Old Lady Gao, I want to see who is buried in that grave?" ”
The feng shui of the Gao family cemetery is not very good at all, at most it can be regarded as a taboo, let alone a tomb guarding spirit beast and a tomb protection agency. Xie Bangui didn't have to make much effort to dig up Old Lady Gao's grave.
Xie Bangui picked up the oil lamp and hit the coffin, and reached out to touch the dry bones in the coffin: "Judging from the bone quality, an old man should be buried here." This person's bones are extremely tough, he should be a master of external skills, and the old lady Gao has practiced foreign skills? ”
