Chapter 173: The Secret of Yellow Spring Water
"Yellow spring water!" Those three words buzzed in my head.
It took me a long time before I came back to my senses, glanced at the second master and said, "Second master, don't bully our juniors, you don't understand anything, is there really such a thing as yellow spring water in this world?" If so, then do Nai He Qiao and Meng Po Tang also exist? ”
"Of course, otherwise you think I'm joking with you, old man?"
"Didn't you meet the Soul Envoy and the Judge of the Sun Patrol of the Yin Division before? In this world, there is a Yin Division, and there is naturally a Yellow Spring! The second master said coldly.
"Even if there is, isn't Huangquan under the Yin Division? How is it in the yang world? I wondered.
"I said you're too young, how do you think the is formed? The ghost kings, ghost generals, and judges below weren't originally humans? Do you think that the birthplace of the Yellow Spring is Yinsi? Then you'd be wrong. ”
"In fact, the Yellow Spring Water was born in our Yang World, and legend has it that it is the corpse water produced after the corpse decomposes, and finally flows to the Yellow Spring where the Yin Division converges."
"Corpse water is yellow spring water?" This is the first time I've heard that statement.
"You're right, but you're not right." The second master nodded and shook his head and explained: "The corpse water that comes out of the decay of ordinary corpses can only be called yellow water, the real yellow spring water is the essence of yellow water, and it takes special circumstances to form, although the difference between yellow water and yellow spring water is only one word, but it is not the same." ”
The second master paused, and then said, "Do you remember when you came to our village before, I told you about ambergris?" ”
"Remember, isn't that a piece of saliva flowing from the mouth of the two-headed dragon vein, and you said it was an excellent feng shui pattern. According to what you say, ambergris water is a spiritual spring, how can it be possible to give birth to yellow spring water, isn't this contradictory to your previous remarks? ”
"Yes, the Ambergris River is indeed a spiritual spring flowing out of the mouth of the two dragon veins, but just now I carefully looked at the feng shui layout of the back mountain, and found that there is a mountain range behind the two dragon veins, and that mountain range is called Centipede Ridge. This mountain ridge seems to have nothing to do with the pattern of the two dragon veins, but in fact, one end of the mountain ridge is connected to the pass between the two dragon heads. ”
"Centipede Ridge?"
I was more and more confused by the second master, and then Yan Xiaoying interjected on the side: "Centipede Ridge and I used to go to Grandma Ridge, legend has it that there are many centipedes living on that mountain, and whenever it rains on a cloudy day, there will be thunder on Centipede Ridge. I heard people say that it is because centipedes are monsters and are not tolerated in the world, so they will be struck by lightning. I heard that there is a temple on Centipede Ridge called Leiyin Temple. ”
"Leiyin Temple?"
When I heard this, my jaw almost fell to the ground, and I laughed: "Return to Leiyin Temple, don't you say that there are still Buddhas and Eighteen Arhats living in that temple?" The Sanzang Master of the Tang Dynasty went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, in fact, he came to us to learn scriptures? Isn't that? ”
"Seriously, the Leiyin Temple we are talking about is not the Bileiyin Temple, and the two cannot be confused."
The second master knocked my head with a cigarette stick, and snorted: "Didn't Xiao Ying say it just now, because when it is windy and rainy, the thunder on the mountain continues, so it is called Leiyin Temple." What's more, it wasn't really a temple, but an abandoned house. ”
I touched my head that was knocked by the second master, and pouted: "Are we talking about the female corpse?" How did you get to the Leiyin Temple? Even if what you say is true, what does that have to do with what is happening now? ”
"It's a big deal."
"The yellow spring water I am talking about flows from that Centipede Ridge." The second master said.
"How can there be yellow spring water on Centipede Ridge?" I wondered.
The second master told us that there is a large-scale mountain tomb on Centipede Ridge according to legend, and a group of tomb robbers targeted the mountain tomb a few decades ago, because the ancient tomb was heavy and difficult to dig and steal, and it was difficult to get hold in a short time, so the tomb robbers lived at the entrance of the cemetery.
On the surface, they live in the mountains like ordinary people, but secretly they are digging ancient tombs.
Until one day, all the tomb robbers suddenly disappeared overnight and never reappeared. Since then, the number of centipedes in the mountains has increased, and they are often struck by lightning.
People say that the centipedes on the mountain are monsters that escaped from the ancient tomb, so over time, the mountain has the name Centipede Ridge, and the house where the tomb robbers once lived has been renovated into a temple.
"Are all the tomb robbers dead when they enter the tomb? Or did you leave after you got it? I was aroused by the second master's curiosity and asked.
"I don't know!"
The second master shook his head and said, "Since they disappeared, people have sealed the entrance to the ancient tomb, and no one has ever entered. ”
"Even if there is really an ancient tomb on Centipede Ridge, what does it have to do with the Yellow Spring Water?"
"Because the yellow spring water flows out of the ancient tomb, it is connected to the ambergris water. You must know that in every large ancient tomb, there must be a number of martyrs, and the number is large, even reaching thousands, so many corpses are enough to form a handful of yellow spring water. ”
"Originally, ordinary monsters and ghouls could not devour the Yellow Spring Water, because the Yellow Spring Water was too domineering, and as long as the living person was contaminated, it would immediately be corroded to the bone. Even if the monster and evil thing don't have enough strength, they don't dare to touch it easily, but Xiao Ling is different, her resentment is too heavy, if she finds the yellow spring water and successfully fuses with the yellow spring water to become a water cloud, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
After listening to the second master's words, I breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It turns out that all this is your guess second master, and you are not sure if there is yellow spring water in the ambergris river......
"You kid said it lightly, this is not a child's play, you must not be careless. Even without the yellow spring water, Xiao Ling's transformation into a ghoul would be extremely difficult to deal with. ”
The second master said, and suddenly sighed and said: "I've been a little restless recently, I always feel that something bad has happened, but I didn't expect it to be Xiaoling and her ......."
Seeing that the second master was so sad, Yan Xiaoying and I were silent for a while, not knowing how to comfort him, an empty nester.
"What do we do now?" Finally I asked.
"Wait until it gets dark, go and recover the body."
After the second master said this, he went back to the room.
Looking at his bowed back, Yan Xiaoying and I glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I always felt that what the old man said just now was a bit fanciful, but since he was so worried, there must be a reason.
"What are you going to do?" I don't know how long it took for Yan Xiaoying to suddenly ask me.
"What else can I do? has already been involved, so naturally I have to follow the second master and his old man, but it will affect you again. ”
Yan Xiaoying shook her head, and suddenly asked again, "Do you want to ask Lin Miao to go down the mountain to help?" And the old fat ...... That guy calls me every day, clamoring to be discharged. ”
"No need, if Lin Miao goes down the mountain, then there will be no one guarding the mountain. As for Lao Fei, that guy will only cause chaos when he comes, how can you expect him to help? Just let him stay in the hospital. ”
After speaking, Yan Xiaoying and I couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
In this way, the time soon came to evening, and Liu Xiaojiao returned to the village with the team to salvage the body, among which the camel husband and wife were also there.
When the villagers saw me, they all kept a straight face, and some even whispered vicious words such as murderers, animals, and beasts, and I pretended not to hear them.
As we expected, they salvaged along the river for a whole day, and they didn't find anything at all except for the coffin boards that had been dismantled by Yan Xiaoying.
Liu Xiaojiao and the subordinates she brought have been busy since last night until now, except for meal time, they have not rested.
At this time, before it was dark, the two policemen said hello to the former and left the village.
I saw that Liu Xiaojiao had no intention of leaving, so I asked, "What?" You're not going to go back to rest with them? Want to spend the night in the village? ”
"Go back? The case hasn't been solved yet, how can I go back? ”
Maybe after a busy day without gain, this woman is obviously holding back her anger, and her attitude is very bad at this time.
I spread my hands and turned away, so as not to touch my head.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, the second master carried a yellow cloth bag on his back, took a peachwood sword, a compass and other things that he usually used in practice, and greeted me Yan Xiaoying and was about to go out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Liu Xiaojiao stopping at the door, and asked with a gloomy face, "Where are you going?" ”
"Officer Liu, two legs grow on us, where are we going, is it difficult to report to you?" I'm really speechless.
"Of course, you are now the number one suspect, and all actions must be documented." Liu Xiaojiao snorted coldly.
"You haven't rested for a day and a night, aren't you tired?" I asked curiously.
"You care?"
Liu Xiaojiao glared at me and suddenly asked, "Are you going to salvage the body?" ”
"Where do you think we're going?"
"Wait, I'll go with you!"
Although we were reluctant, Liu Xiaojiao still followed us out of the village.
When he came to the stone bridge by the river, the second master didn't say a word and began to get busy.
Because I mentioned it to him before, and Liu Xiaojiao also told the second master that she is the administrator of the office, so there are some things that don't need to be hidden.
I saw that the second master took out paper, incense, ink, copper coins and swords from his bag, laid a small dojo on the stone bridge, burned incense, burned paper money, and recited a scripture that we couldn't understand.
He took out a crumpled origami crane from his bag and placed it in front of him.
Seeing that the second master took out the paper crane, I remembered the mysterious paper-binding craftsman I met in the secret realm of heaven, and I was surprised in my heart, and asked Yan Xiaoying next to me in a low voice: "Second master, isn't he a mage?" How can you still tie the papermaker's set? ”
Yan Xiaoying shook her head and didn't speak, but when the second master heard it, he turned his head and explained to us: "I didn't fold this paper crane, but it was a gift from Xiaoling when I was sixty years old. ”
"Xiaoling's stuff? Is it any use? ”
Liu Xiaojiao looked curious next to her, although she was a person from the firm, it was estimated that it was the first time she had seen the methods of the Yin people, and she no longer had that kind of arrogance at this time.
"You just look at it."
The second master said, and took out another thing from the bag.
As soon as this thing came out, my pupils suddenly contracted, the muscles of my whole body tensed, and my whole body became tense.
