Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 12: Luo Jin
It's just that today's tomb is almost surrounded by four walls, Liu Sanyan affirmed that there could be no other coffin in this tomb, even if the real coffin was taken away, but the coffin base was dismantled without reason.
The coffin foundation is the infrastructure that fixes the position of the coffin, usually the coffin with the outer coffin is very heavy, unlike the modern concrete, which can easily keep the foundation stable for a long time, so a layer will be added below the coffin to prevent the deformation of the landform and cause the coffin to be unstable, such as granite.
The base of this fake coffin is made of granite, and the two rows are inlaid with five pairs of large iron rings, which should be used to tie the coffin, but the iron chains are destroyed.
This makes us a little puzzled, the burial ground is said to seal the coffin with an iron lock, if the tomb owner killed too much before his death, and the anger is too heavy after death, the coffin needs to be sealed with an iron lock, and when the iron lock is rusty and broken, it is also the time when the anger is purified.
But if the iron lock is not naturally rusted, the corpse will become a powerful ghost, which is tantamount to blocking his cultivation, and it is basically the hatred of your death.
Therefore, there is a saying in the line of inverted buckets, the iron coffin first worships three times, and the broken arm takes the wealth!
That is to say, when you encounter the iron lock sealed coffin, you must first respectfully kowtow three heads, and then chisel a hole and reach in to touch the device, and you can only touch it once, if you carry out this ceremony, the tomb owner will not embarrass you, most of them can get out of the body. If you violate this etiquette, at least you have to cut off your arm.
This gives us the feeling that a dog bites a hedgehog and can't get out of its mouth. I guessed that the real coffin was in this tomb, but I couldn't find it, and it seems that the tomb owner must also be a master in the feng shui world.
I can't help but think, did those people find the real coffin more than 30 years ago? I heard that the formation was extremely strong that time, and the tomb robber family was almost complete, if they couldn't find it together, we might as well go home as soon as possible.
I believe that those people found the real coffin, and they were able to accurately enter the main tomb through the thief hole in the labyrinth, and obviously the mirror feng shui was also difficult for them.
The owner of this tomb is high enough to hide the real coffin, and the first feeling of the main tomb will not think of mirroring feng shui, but the tomb pattern will not think of this for the first time. And the owner of the tomb knows the habits of tomb robbers too well, how could he let it go when he saw the coffin? There is only a fake coffin here, and those who come in will definitely open the coffin, and as long as the coffin is opened, the corpse will definitely be released.
"What the hell do you see?" Miss Luo was a little impatient and questioned me.
"Huh?" I was a little confused, but I saw that they were all looking at me directly, as if waiting for my answer.
Holy shit, what do you think I'm doing?
I complained in my heart, I am at most half a trainee Tufu who can't even steal holes, do you expect me to crack this mirror feng shui?
But thinking about it the other way, it seems that our group of people is really half a bucket of water, Miss Luo asked her to be good at fighting, killing and killing, Liu Sanyan knows some fur in a mess, and what she has learned is miscellaneous skills, and fighting completely depends on a lot of courage. Those guys and marijuana can't be counted on at all, and the only unfathomable Xiaomu seems to have a problem with his brain, and he won't take the initiative to say that you don't have a knife on your neck.
I'm even more, I can't fight, I can't do it, I can't talk about feng shui, it's not good to steal holes, I read a few books on this subject for a few days at home, and you want to pull me out to work?
I dare to say that you dare to listen and dare to do it?
Miss Luo wouldn't have thought about such a problem, it seemed that she was really in a hurry.
I'm a little puzzled, it stands to reason that it is impossible for her Luo family to have no tomb robbery reserves, even if Luo Zhenghua takes away most of the good players of the Luo family and the Wu family, but it is not difficult to form a stronger team than the current one again with the power of the Luo family, right?
Could it be that there was a major accident in the Luo family?
I shook my head, eliminating these miscellaneous thoughts, it's useless to think about these now, people are here, how can the world be reversed?
I stood up and looked around carefully, analyzing the possibilities of mirror Feng Shui.
Feng Shui base set says that mirror Feng Shui is both opposites and built, one yin and one yang, one death and one life, and all the way is a dangerous death, hell ants, blood corpses, labyrinths......
If it weren't for the danger that had been smoothed out by the last batch of people, we would have died several times earlier.
This really fulfills the sentence in "Deposit Decision": Looking for the dragon and the deposit are separated, and one is in danger, if the beginning and the end are the same, they must die after life.
That is to say, now this is the place of death, a life of death, and we must find the place of life to find the place of the real coffin.
This tomb is enclosed by a labyrinth of nine tricks, assuming that there is another tomb on the side, it is indeed in line with the theory of mirror feng shui, which is like a Tai Chi pattern. The other chamber must have been on the right or in front of and behind, for we came in through a hole dug on the left.
Xiao Mu checked the tomb wall, found no secret door or dark room, more than 30 years ago, the group of people must have begun to doubt the possibility of the real coffin next door, the easiest way is to break through the wall directly, there is no reason to run to the other side of the maze to open a thief hole, but there is no trace of broken wall, that means that there is no tomb next door.
Thinking about this, I understand that no matter whether the other burial chamber is in the front and back or on the right side, the easiest and most effective way to get from this burial chamber to another burial chamber is to break the wall, because you need to open a hole and then break the wall when you go in any direction.
That meets the requirements of mirror feng shui is only upper and lower.
It is clear at a glance, this tomb is not very high, about six or seven meters, the flashlight can be obtained, we have looked for it, it is a very common floor-type capping.
That can only be down, that is to say, this is a double burial chamber, like the Chongling Ancient Tomb, there is a burial chamber below.
But there is no excavated hole here, which means that there is a secret passage leading directly to the real coffin burial chamber.
We hurriedly found the secret passage, but I didn't find it for a long time, I was a little embarrassed, did I guess wrong?
"Reflection." Xiao Mu suddenly said.
"What?" I asked.
Xiao Mu's brows furrowed tightly, as if he was in pain, and finally patted his head hard with his hand.
"I seem to have been here before, but I can't remember."
What's going on? I'm a little blindsided, but he did behave a little strangely after entering the tomb, not to mention that he was very familiar with the labyrinth, he knew the hell ants, he knew the blood corpse, and he knew the powder of the corpse's transformation.
And when looking for the location of the ancient tomb, Xiaomu also said that when it was dark, I was inspired to find it.
It seems that every time he gets into trouble, Xiaomu will have some hints, and although the sentences are short, they can always play a key role.
So what does "reflection" mean now?
Hearing the "reflection", normal people will think of water or mirrors, but the Han Dynasty is not capable of making a huge mirror, and this is an arid desert area, there is no water flow in this tomb, the only water-related patio is the patio, but this patio is only built to adapt to feng shui, to put it bluntly, it is an ornament, sealed underground, why do you want a patio?
No, no, the role of the patio is to collect water, Nayang, lighting and ventilation, since it is a dead place, it is contrary to the theory of Nayang.
The toad has the occasional meaning of "sucking the weather", and also has the meaning of hoarding the sun, which is obviously inconsistent with this dead place.
There is only one possibility, that the patio was built for the living ground, and that is to say, the one connected to the real coffin must be the patio.
I jumped into the patio and tapped it with a shovel, making a dull echo that was empty underneath.
Everyone was energetic, and Marijuana and Liu Sanyan immediately jumped down, and wanted to pry it open with a flat shovel, but they were stopped by Miss Luo.
Miss Luo said: "Don't worry, the last batch of people did not destroy the patio, if they forcibly destroy it, it may be dangerous." ”
As soon as we thought it did make sense, we hurried up.
Xiao Mu walked over to a toad, touched it with his hand, and then turned it counterclockwise.
There was a dull sound in the tomb, and the ground shook slightly. After Xiao Mu turned around, the toad couldn't move, and then told us to turn the rest counterclockwise as well.
It was quite difficult to turn the toad, but one person could barely turn it, and when it was done, the whole burial chamber shook slightly, and the two cornerstones in the patio slowly pulled apart to the sides, revealing an eerie hole.
Someone throws a cold light stick into it, but sees the cold light stick fall vertically, and the bottom is empty?
After throwing seven or eight more, we lay down on the side of the patio and looked down, I gasped, the brains of the ancients were really unimaginable.
This is really a "reflection", the tomb below is built in reverse, that is, the ground is on the top, the eaves are below, if we really dig hard, we can't fall down and hang up.
We fixed three ropes to go down, it is impossible for everyone to go down, I have a wound on my hand and it is not suitable to go down, don't fall to death if you don't hold it firmly.
There is also a guy who can't get down, and one of his palms has been gnawed by hell ants, although the bleeding has stopped for the time being, but we have to hurry up and get out as soon as possible, otherwise maybe that guy's life will be in danger.
Everyone knows that there are still people hiding in the shadows, and we all have to die in the foundation of the patio as soon as we all go to the foundation stone of the patio.
After a discussion, Miss Luo, Xiao Mu, and Liu Sanyan went down, and I stayed with Marijuana and the three guys, after all, Marijuana had been a soldier for a few years, and ordinary people couldn't help him, and he had a gun in hand, even if the person attacked in secret, he could deal with it for a while with his marijuana skills, and Xiao Mu and they had time to support.
And what the specific situation is, we don't know anything, the best Xiao Mu and Miss Luo are the most suitable to go down, but they don't know much about the tomb, so they can only let Liu Sanyan, the most experienced among them, go down together.
Soon they slipped down, and from time to time I could hear Liu Sanyan's surprised voice coming out, and I was a little itchy to hear it, curious about what was going on below.
We were bored waiting, a guy pulled out a cigarette and handed it to me, I refused, and he smoked it on the side with marijuana.
As I waited, I suddenly became sleepy, and I felt my eyelids heavy and drowsiness.
I thought to myself, could it be that I'm too tired today? It's really hard to toss all the way, and now it's nearly zero, and I didn't feel sleepy when I was nervous before, but now I want to sleep when I'm relaxed.
I thought about getting up and walking, refreshing myself to drive away drowsiness, but I saw that Marijuana was also sleepy, and the guy who smoked was fine, and Chuan Mao was also in good spirits lying on the patio looking down.
I suddenly had a bad premonition and was tricked?
As soon as he opened his mouth to remind him of marijuana, he saw that the guy who smoked the cigarette pushed the marijuana down violently. Damn, there's something wrong with this guy.
I turned around to run, but Chuanmao, who was lying on my stomach, suddenly jumped at me and pushed me to the ground, and the guy with the severed hand slashed at the rope.
I scolded the three generations of Miss Luo's ancestors in my heart, how to hold the treasure, all the traitors were embraced, and the most annoying thing was that the traitors were all from her family.
Although Chuan Mao is flexible, but after all, he is thin and young, and his strength is not comparable to my big man of eight meters, I turned over violently, threw Chuan Mao off, pounced on it and strangled Chuan Mao's neck with his arm, and pulled out the dagger against his neck.
"Stop, cut the rope again, believe it or not, I'll stab him to death!" I roared wildly, and at this moment the kung fu severed hand had cut two ropes, and was raising his knife to cut the last one.
If the ropes are broken, Xiaomu and they will definitely not be able to get out in a short time, and I will have to let them slaughter.
As the two guys were at a standoff, the two men didn't know what to do when I heard a "bang" and the rope was broken with a shot.
Out of the thief cave came a person, dressed in a black rat suit, a sturdy man.
The man looked at me silently and gestured to the two men, who crawled over from the ground and locked up the patio.
I killed together, the rope broke, I definitely couldn't escape the palm of their hands, and I was about to stab one by one, and people were forced to do anything in a hurry.
"If you kill Chuanmao, you won't survive." The sturdy man said slowly.
"Lao Tzu will pull a cushion on his back when he dies, I'm afraid of your ball." I yelled.
The sturdy man sat down on the corpse statue next to him, lit a cigarette and inhaled slowly, spit out a smoke ring, and said: "Zhang Yuan, if I want to kill you, you don't know how many times you have died in the labyrinth. ”
I was hesitating whether to believe him or not, when Miss Luo said, "Zhang Yuan, don't be impulsive, let go of Chuanmao." ”
"Let go of your uncle, did you fall into the dung pit in your brain? Bring a bunch of traitors to fight, don't drag us all up if you want to die. I scolded, and I didn't put my mind on Chuan Mao when I was excited.
Just as I was distracted, Chuanmao's neck deviated, slid down my elbow like a loach, and then drilled from my crotch to my back, and strangled my neck with his backhand.
"Let him go." The strong man Luo Jin waved his hand, and Chuan Mao hesitated for a moment but pushed me away.
Now I'm a little confused, what kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd? Or do you not take me seriously at all?
Miss Luo below seemed to be very disappointed, her tone was also cold, forcibly suppressed the mood of the riot, and said lightly: "I have suspected the second uncle, the fourth uncle, and even the eldest brother, but I have never doubted you Luo Jin, can you tell me the reason?" ”
Luo Jin was silent, and the cigarette between his fingers came back to his senses after it was burned.
"What? Have the courage to do it but don't have the courage to admit it? Count me Luo Qingqing blind, and I have trusted you as my brother since I was a child. Miss Luo scoffed.
I secretly said that she was really a stupid woman, and it was really not a wise choice to provoke him in this situation, and sure enough, the woman was unreliable.
I originally thought that he would roar heartbreakingly, complaining about how unfair the Luo family was to him, and complaining about how much he had been wronged. I also thought that he was gloomy and cold, ruthless and ruthless.
How did he think of him and smiled: "Guess what? ”
After finishing speaking, I also crawled down to the mouth of the patio, turned on the flashlight and shone it down, I heard a "bang" gunshot, and Luo Jin's flashlight was hit by Miss Luo with a gun.
Luo Jin seemed to think of this result, threw the flashlight and asked someone to close the patio.
He stood up and patted the dust, smiling brightly: "Formally introduce myself, my name is Luo Jin, the idle Luo Jin." ”
At this time, my heart is very complicated, there is fear and anger, this Luo Jin should be the kind of capricious person, I don't know what he wants to do if he keeps me, is there still a place to use me?
This should be an obvious struggle for family rights, Luo Zhenghua is the current head of the Luo family, and now Luo Zhenghua is trapped, life and death are unknown, it is normal for Miss Luo to want to save her, but this Luo Jin is trying to stop it.
In other words, Luo Jin's behavior is disgraceful, because Miss Luo's grandfather is still there, and it is impossible to watch the children and grandchildren kill each other and ignore it, if Miss Luo's grandfather knows what Luo Jin did, he will definitely be severely punished, and Luo Jin's life will be gone.
So this Luo Jin is very likely to kill people, it is the best way to disguise us as accidental deaths in the ancient tomb, as long as Miss Luo can't get out, she can't save Luo Zhenghua, Luo Zhenghua can't come back, he can achieve a certain goal.
But why did you keep me alive? I'm not the Chuanmao and the others he bribed, so he doesn't worry about me stabbing the Luo family after I go out?
I have roughly summarized that there must be a place where he can still use me in this ancient tomb, and as long as he leaves the ancient tomb, I will not be far from death. I had to get rid of them in the tomb, this was the only way I could go.
"Zhang Yuan." Let me give you a brief introduction.
Luo Jin smiled and said, "I know you, I also know that you are a descendant of Yang Zhuo, and I also know that you are the supreme yang physique, because you are the one I investigated." No, it should be said to investigate your Yang family. ”
I was shocked, sure enough, it was Luo Jiabu's bureau from the beginning, and this layout should be just the beginning, and there should be a bigger purpose later.
Thinking about it this way, Luo Jin shouldn't kill me easily, unless he wants to stop what the Luo family wants to do.
Luo Jin came over and motioned for me to sit down and chat, and asked, "You should have read Uncle Luo's secret letter, do you have any ideas?" ”
I'm a little confused, Luo Jin's thinking is too jumpy, and I can't keep up with the rhythm.
I recalled the content of the secret letter, it was indeed very brief, but it was also very clear, that is, I asked Miss Luo to go to the tomb of the Nine Turns of the Underground Mansion to find the flower map on the other side, and then go to Ruoqiang County to find someone, and that person would take us to find him.
Could it be that this letter was forged by Luo Jin? All this is a conspiracy devised by him?
"To be honest, I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to find the intersection during the day, you almost disrupted my plan, but it was also because of your trick that you disrupted the plan of another group of people, you are really a lucky star Zhang Yuan." Luo Jin patted me on the shoulder, as if he was an old friend with me.
"Another group of people? Someone else is here besides you? "I was vigilant.
Luo Jin said: "Let's put it this way, the letter was written by Uncle Luo, but it was fake, because Uncle Luo calculated that the letter would be cut off, so he deliberately asked the Luo family to come here to find the flower map on the other side, so as to help him buy time." ”
"Otherwise, do you really think that there is no one in my Luo family? Will Qingqing, who doesn't know anything other than fighting, killing, and killing, come in? I'm not sure she's going to take the risk. ”
As soon as Luo Jin said this, my mind was much clearer, it turned out that all this was set up by Luo Zhenghua thousands of miles away, knowing that the secret letter would be discovered and sent back, the purpose was to make the person who intercepted the letter think that they were temporarily trapped, so as to relax their vigilance on his side and transfer the attention to our side.
The Luo family should have guessed after reading the letter, in order to cooperate with Luo Zhenghua, they did not tell Luo Qingqing the truth, but asked her to bring someone to Erlin to make the illusion that she was really looking for the other side of the flower.
That means that Luo Jin is not stopping us, but secretly protecting Miss Luo?
"Do you remember when Lao Gen sent the guide back? He threw the guide down halfway, and I thought there was something wrong with him, and he deliberately changed your other car with tools, just because he was worried that you would enter the tomb early. ”
"I put Lao Gen in the coffin, but I didn't kill him, and when I met him, he had already been bitten by a bloody corpse." Luo Jin pointed to the major artery in his neck, where Lao Gen's fatal wound was indeed there.
In this way, Luo Jin has come to a big reversal, all the previous guesses have been reversed, I can't make up my mind, can I really believe him?
However, it was the next words that really shocked me and even subverted my beliefs.
