Last time, it was said that Shen Yifan, Professor Wang and other people escaped from the big hole knocked out by the pillar of the dark fragrant wood, and actually appeared in the river of Xitang Ancient Town, and everyone was rescued and all settled in a hotel in Xitang.

In the dream, he saw a big man, standing in front of him covered in blood, his face was pale and his eyes were white, his hands were holding something rigidly, looking like a box, the blood all over his body flowed all over the ground, and he walked towards Shen Yifan step by step. Shen Yifan kept retreating backwards, and suddenly his body suddenly lost his center of gravity, and the whole person fell into the abyss, the person slowly fell down, and there seemed to be no limit to falling down, and he didn't know when he was broken.

Shen Yifan suddenly sat up from the bed, looking at the dim room, his T-shirt was already soaked with sweat, he slowly stood up and opened the curtains, looking at the bustling Xitang Ancient Town outside the window, always feeling flustered.

Most of the hotels in Xitang Ancient Town are all their own houses in the style of a small courtyard, and Shen Yifan and the others live in this one of the better ones in Xitang Ancient Town, with three-story single-family houses and a courtyard. There is an ancient ginkgo tree planted in the yard, and the green ginkgo leaves are swaying, and the summer morning wind makes the yard look particularly pleasant.

Liu Yao sat on a chair under the tree, looked up at the ginkgo leaves, covered her eyes with her hands, looked through her fingers, looked at the green leaves from the cracks between her fingers, and saw Shen Yifan looking at her from the swing of the leaves.

Liu Yao waved at Shen Yifan and motioned for him to go down.

Shen Yifan came to the courtyard, sat beside Liu Yao and said, "I think there are still things that have not been done. ”

Liu Yao looked at Shen Yifan and asked, "Have you ever dreamed?" ”

Shen Yifan nodded, rubbed his face and said, "It's still a nightmare." ”

Liu Yao said: "Me too." I dreamed of a big man standing in front of me in blood. ”

Shen Yifan looked at her incredulously and asked, "Still holding the box in your hand?" ”

Liu Yao nodded.

Shen Yifan then asked: "Have you ever dreamed of falling into the abyss?" ”

Liu Yao shook her head.

Shen Yifan felt very strange, why did two people have the same dream, he thought about it, but was interrupted by Lin Yu, who asked them to go to breakfast.

Liu Yao saw that Lin Yu's face was a little ugly, so she asked, "Sister Lin!" Your face is so ugly! ”

Lin Yu said: "I had a nightmare last night, dreaming that the big man was holding the box full of blood and water, and he was walking towards me while dripping. ”

Lin Yu said this, Liu Yao and Shen Yifan couldn't believe it, at this time Shen Yifan already felt that something was wrong, when everyone ate together in the cafeteria, they didn't see Professor Wang, and when they asked, they learned that Professor Wang began to have a high fever yesterday and had been sent to the hospital in Xizhejiang City, and Wang Yunfei didn't sleep well and was not in good health, so he wanted to rest for a while after breakfast, and when he asked, he knew that Wang Yunfei also had the same nightmare.

Shen Yifan couldn't sit still now, stood up and said, "Quick! Give Professor Wang a call and ask him if he had the same nightmare yesterday? ”

Wang Yunfei felt that this matter was quite serious, and hurriedly dialed the phone and asked only to find out that Professor Wang also had the same nightmare at night, not only that, but he also dreamed that the big man was holding Professor Wang.

Shen Yifan suddenly felt like a thorn in his back, pacing back and forth, thinking to himself: "Could it be that the ghost of the big man is coming to them?" ”

In the afternoon, news came from the hospital that Professor Wang's condition suddenly deteriorated, and the high fever did not go away, and he kept talking mushily, repeating the four words "Tianwai Golden Book".

Shen Yifan is even more sure that this matter is related to the death of the big man, it must be the ghost of the big man who came to them, although the Dragon Hunting Club opened by Shen Yifan has always cracked those supernatural events, but most of them are also those things that pretend to be gods and deceive the ignorant people, and there are some things that are all thought to be head-lowering evil arts, and this kind of real ghost-haunted thing, Shen Yifan is also the first time to encounter it.

Thinking of this, the only person he could think of to help him solve this matter was the ghost doctor of the Eight Gates of the Ghost Valley, and in desperation, he could only call the ghost doctor Yu Mengcheng.

After listening to what was going on, Yu Mengcheng said, "I'll call someone over, he may be able to help you." ”

In the evening, just after everyone had finished dinner, there stood a man in his fifties in the courtyard of the inn, dressed in a white silk Tang suit, this person was a tall and thin man but very energetic, with two walnuts coiled in his hand and a string of Buddhist beads hanging from his chest.

Shen Yifan came to the courtyard and looked at the man, stretched out his hand and said, "Are you ......?"

Which person smiled slightly and said: "God counts - Cai Yao." ”

As soon as Shen Yifan heard this name, he immediately became in awe, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands, feeling that this matter had a score.

Cai Yao is a god in the Thirteen Taibao, and he is also a figure in the tomb robbery world, this person robbed the tomb for the ancient book anecdotes, the heavenly book Dunjia and the like, and does not charge gold and silver. And it is said that he is proficient in occult arts, and he is even more handy with supernatural and strange things.

After Cai Yao saw Shen Yifan, he didn't say anything and asked about the matter, and after listening to the whole story, he let out a long sigh

Said in one breath: "It seems." You shouldn't have left your friends anywhere! ”

Shen Yifan also knew a little bit about this kind of supernatural thing, nodded approvingly and said: "Which temple must have some kind of spell suppression, yes, the ghost of the big man can't leave, so we all have the same nightmare." ”

Cai Yao nodded and said, "Unless we bring his soul back." ”

Shen Yifan actually knew that this was also a method, but he didn't know what method to use. The slightest mistake in this kind of thing can lead to endless disaster. Shen Yifan heard an incident before, saying that there was also an incident in the Northeast at that time, a child accidentally fell into a well and drowned and just couldn't find the body, as a result, the whole village had the same dream, dreaming that the child was wearing a red girl's clothes, appeared in front of them and said that he was so cold. Later, the village found a Taoist priest to summon the soul of this child, but I didn't think that this Taoist priest was actually a disguised magic stick, not only did he not find the child's body, but it was even more serious. Within a few days, there were children in the village who inexplicably fell into a well and drowned, and the bodies could not be found. Later, the abbot of a local temple found out about this, and then the abbot and eighteen monks chanted at the mouth of the well for three days, and then blisters began to bubble up in the well, and the bodies of the drowned children all came to the surface.

The next day, Cai Yao asked Shen Yifan to prepare some things, a tribute; three catties of white rice; three catties of glutinous rice; three catties of red beans; three catties of mung beans; Three catties of soybeans and three catties of red rice, one hundred jars of liquor, nine catties of eggs, ten catties of duck eggs, twelve red candles, one chicken, one duck and one fish, one pig's head, one sheep's head, and one cow's head, and a box made of peach wood, one hundred and eighty-one Kong Ming lanterns, and a piece of cloth dyed red with pig's blood.

After everything was ready, the altar was set up by the river in Xitang Ancient Town, and Cai Yao still came to the edge of the altar with his hands behind his back in a casual dress. This battle in the ancient town of Xitang may be unprecedented, and men and women are watching the excitement by the river.

During this time, the ancient town of Xitang is very lively, not long ago there was a murder in the ancient town of Guwu next door, it was rumored here, and then someone said that the ancient tomb of Heiniu Mountain was released, and the townspeople were talking about it, yesterday a few people came out of the river for no reason, so that everyone felt that the ancient town was strange and things came to the third, and today someone opened an altar here, so the townspeople are spreading that the evil demons that were suppressed in the Black Bull Mountain were released, and now they are looking for a master to recover these demons.

The altar is a cloth dyed red with pig's blood on the tribute table, two red candles on both sides, and ten red candles encircle the altar, and pigs are placed on the tribute table; Cattle; Three sheep on top of white rice; Glutinous rice; red beans; Mung bean; Soybean; a bowl of red rice, eggs; Three duck eggs, three bowls of liquor, chicken, duck and fish in front of the liquor, and a peach box in front of the chicken, duck and fish.

After Cai Yao ascended the altar, he first poured all the remaining white rice and soybeans into the water, looked at the situation in the water, saw that the river water began to bubble, and then poured all the glutinous rice and red beans into the river, at this time the river began to boil as if it was boiling, and then poured all the red rice and mung beans into the river, and the river began to boil, and then I saw that countless fish in the river all surfaced, and soon they all turned their backs to the sky and turned their stomachs.

Cai Yao immediately asked someone to pour a hundred jars of liquor into the river, and at this time, a thick white smoke began to rise from the entire river, covering the entire river tightly, and then asked people to put nine catties of eggs into the empty wine jar and put them into the river.

It is also strange to say that after the wine jar enters the water, all the mist on the river surface is sucked into the wine jar, Cai Yao said: "Whatever appears in the wine jar, you will have to smash it with duck eggs." ”

After a while, a small head like a baby poked out of the wine jar on the river surface, and the people on the river bank smashed directly to the place as soon as they saw the duck eggs, and then a very dramatic scene appeared, all the people on the river bank took the duck eggs and smashed them on the wine jar, and soon a huge whirlpool appeared in the river, and a column of water rushed up to the sky, carrying a hundred wine jars and flying to the sky.

Cai Yao immediately opened the peach box, threw all the chickens, ducks and fish into the water column, and saw a blue light jumping out of the water and flying directly into the peach box. The surface of the river calmed down, and a corpse was seen on the surface.

Everyone looked at the corpse of the big man, and the big man was facing up on his back, holding a golden box in his hand, and the corpse salvage team that had already been on the side immediately fished up the body of the big man.

Cai Yao immediately drew a charm on the big man's face with a cinnabar red pen, and then had people cover it with a straw mat and put it in a circle surrounded by ten candles, while he sat on the corpse and kept chanting something in his mouth.

The townspeople of Xitang were bored, and the local police were urging them to leave, and after more than an hour, all the people by the river left.

It was only in the evening that Cai Yao ordered someone to put one hundred and eight Kong Ming lanterns into the air before letting Shen Yifan and the others get close to the corpse.

Cai Yao was also so tired that he collapsed, so he could only be helped down, and when he left, he said: "This corpse should be cremated before twelve o'clock, it is better to have a big change." ”

Shen Yifan nodded, looked at the big man's corpse and said, "Big man." You can go in peace! Thank you for bringing something from below at the end. As soon as the words fell, the big man's hands were released, and the golden box fell at Shen Yifan's feet

。 Then the funeral home people directly pulled the body of the big man to the crematorium for cremation.

At this time, it was also over, but the golden box that was taken from the big man's hand made Shen Yifan and the others feel strange. In order to deal with the funeral of the big man, Lin Yu and Wang Yunfei went to the crematorium with the car of the funeral home. Shen Yifan's status as an advisor is now completely over, and the next thing he and Liu Yao are thinking about is how to find the precise location of the Jinling Heavenly King's burial, but before they can do so, they must figure out what the golden box is.

News has just come from the hospital in Xizhejiang City, Professor Wang's high fever has subsided, and his consciousness has also recovered clearly, with his guarantee, the golden box held by the big man made Shen Yifan and Liu Yao study and understand, and handed it over to the state.

This golden box is also strange, it looks like a box but it looks like a book made of gold, but it can't be opened by the seams, and there is a six-fold dent in the proof of each, looking like the dent of those wolf-faced statues holding a staff in the hands of those wolf-faced human statues in the Wolf King Temple, there should be something to open.

Liu Yao looked at the very strange box and said, "I heard that there are many ciphertext spells in ancient Egypt that will be recorded in a book made of metal, will this be the same as the ancient Egyptian spell book?" ”

Shen Yifan saw such a thing for the first time, and he really couldn't draw conclusions, he looked at the symbol on the front and said: "The symbol on this should be Professor Wang's Heavenly Secret Text, that is, the magic talisman we have." But no one can crack these symbols. ”

Liu Yao looked down and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Shen Yifan nodded and said: "I have seen all the symbols on the six magic runes and jade, and they are exactly the same as this symbol, and I have been to Beidou Mountain, and I have also seen exactly the same symbols in Beidou City. I'm sure this box has a lot to do with the Talisman Jade. ”

Liu Yao hesitated a little, she looked at the golden box for a long time, looked at Shen Yifan and asked, "What can open this box?" ”

Shen Yifan said: "We must first figure out the material of this box. If it is really gold, you can use strong means to open this box. ”

Liu Yao heard this and said, "There is someone in the old court who may be able to give me an answer, so I will call him over immediately." ”

Shen Yifan asked excitedly when he heard this, "Who?" ”

"My brother! Willow Springs! Liu Yao said as she dialed the phone.

Early the next morning, Liu Quan and Hani came to Xitang Ancient Town, and after the four of them sat in front of the golden box and watched it for more than an hour, Liu Quan said: "Brother Yifan's guess may be right, this box may have something to do with Yuanzhou. First of all, it's not a box made of a special metal book. This material is not gold, it is a metal other than the metal we know now, and there are only two places where there have been similar things so far. The first is inside the pyramid of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in Egypt, and the second is inside the temple of Poseidon under the Aegean Sea, but these two metal books have not been opened until now. What you find should be the third book in the world. ”

Liu Quan put down the metal book and said, "The world archaeological community has given this kind of book a collective name 'Book of the Sun', because its own color is like the golden light of the sun. I haven't seen the two books excavated in Egypt and Greece, so I don't know if the symbols on them are the same as those you find. ”

Hani added: "After the 'Book of the Sun' in the pyramid of Tutankhamun was unearthed, a theologian once said that it was a terrible spell. But I couldn't open it with many methods. The archaeological community agrees that this kind of book is a book that records the secrets of the gods, so only the gods can open it. ”

Shen Yifan is actually about Egypt; The two identical books unearthed in Greece were not of great interest, but were very interested in the one in front of him, and the symbols on the cover were the clues he had been looking for, so if he could unravel them, it might be of great help to his next plan.

Shen Yifan thought for a long time and suddenly said: "I want to go back to Liangxi." ”

Liu Quan, Liu Yao and Hani were all a little puzzled when they heard it, and Liu Quan said, "We can provide whatever you need." ”

Shen Yifan said: "If you old Chaofeng believe me and let me go back to Liangxi, I need the previous team to complete the following things." You old courtiers can arrange for someone to go with me to find the Jinling Heavenly King's funeral, but Liu Yao can't participate. ”

"Why?" Liu Yao was a little anxious when she heard this.

Liu Quan nodded and said, "It's okay!" I let Hani be with you. ”

Shen Yifan agreed, but asked Hani to wait for him in Jinling and not to go to Liangxi with him.

Shen Yifan spat out a long puff of smoke, looked at the sky in the South Park of Liangxi City, and said, "This is what I experienced after leaving Beidou Mountain. ”

The expert nodded and asked, "Do you suspect that these pieces have something to do with that book?" ”

Shen Yifan nodded and said, "Yes." So I need you to check it out for me. ”

After the story was finished, Shen Yifan naturally did not tell the whole thing to the experts, but selectively said the paragraph that needed to be said, in fact, on the first day he returned to Liangxi, he had already been inlaid with gold and jade; Murong Wan'er has met, and the next thing he has to do is to use the four so-called partners around him to explore the Jinling Heavenly King Burial.

What plans will Shen Yifan have? Will the search for the burial of the King of Jinling go smoothly? What secrets is hidden in the 'Book of the Sun' engraved with 'Outer Secret Texts'? How can we open this 'Book of the Sun'?
