There is a downward staircase in the thatched house, and there should be a basement or something underneath. There are only two wooden shelves and some crockpots on it, on which are the herbs are placed.

The medicine boy told me and Niu Meng to go down, and the two of us went down.

Underneath this is a large stone chamber, which looks like it was dug and then built with stone. There are all kinds of tables, chairs and benches in the stone room, and a square hole is cut into the surrounding wall where an oil lamp is placed.

There is a small window to the northwest that is open to the ground so that sunlight can shine in.

Hua Jingque was sitting on the stone bed at this time, he looked very old, his hair and beard were all white, and his hair was of poor quality, very rough, like dead grass.

The face is covered with wrinkles and age spots.

"Sit down." Hua Jingque motioned for me and Niu Meng to sit down.

There was a table in front of him, presumably to make it easier for the girls to check their pulses. I sat down with Niu Meng, and Niu Meng put the eighteen bronze human arrays on the table and took off the wrapped cloth.

I bowed to Hua Jingque, "The younger generation has seen the Hua senior." ”

Hua Jingque nodded slightly, "No need to be polite, I am of the same generation as your uncle." ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Your uncle spent some time in the Touching Gold Sect when he was young, and I also worshiped the Touching Gold Sect at that time."

I've heard from my uncle about this, and he did stay in the gold pie for a while very early.

I exchanged a few words with Hua Jingque, and was just about to ask him about the Tiangang compass, when he shook his head and sighed lightly, "What should come will come." ”

"I don't know what Senior Hua is referring to?" I asked him.

"Have you ever heard of the Rakshasa leading to a secluded place, and the bones of Huangquan are cold."

I thought about it carefully, I probably hadn't heard of it, so I shook my head.

"Back then, various sects united to find the tomb of Queen Rakshasa . Touching things that shouldn't be touched, more than 40 years have passed, and I am the only one left who has been to the tomb of Queen Rakshasa .

I thought that this secret would be sealed forever, but I didn't expect it to be leaked out. After the Chengfu bloodbath, I knew that someone would always find me. ”

The more I listened, the more confused I felt, and I frowned and asked, "Senior Hua, could it be that the murder of Chengfu has something to do with the tomb of Queen Rakshasa ?" ”

Hua Jingque sighed heavily and told me about the cause and effect.

At that time, Hua Jingque, Yuen Long's father, a senior monk of Shaolin Temple, a corpse chaser faction, a gold touching faction, and a master of Gu arts...... and so on, many forces united and went to the Rakshasa country to find the tomb of the Rakshasa Queen.

The purpose is to find the elixir, well, again. Maybe most people really want to live forever.

Hua Jingque didn't tell me much about the process of robbing the tomb, but simply said the result.

In a bronze burial chamber, they found the Tiangang compass. The walls of the bronze burial chamber were made of copper, and the coffin was made of black copper. And there were three coffins inside.

They opened the coffin completely, and saw no corpse, no elixir, only a Tiangang compass inside.

At that time, the master of the Gold Touching Sect said that the main burial chamber had not been found, and the elixir of life must have been placed in the main burial chamber. So it was agreed to continue the search for the main burial chamber.

As they prepare to go to the main burial chamber, they discover a mechanism, which turns out that there is a small burial chamber under the coffin.

The small burial chamber has a coffin of pure gold, and inside the coffin is a woman. It's a woman, not a female corpse, and this woman is just like a living person, but she has no breath.

It was from this woman's mouth that my father found the jade pendant I had bought.

Then they continued to search for the main burial chamber, but the main burial chamber was not found, and strange things happened one after another.

There were more than forty people in the tomb, and when they approached the main burial chamber, only six remained.

The six men finally reached the main burial chamber, but the main burial chamber was empty, with eighteen Buddha statues carved and two lines of words carved on the east wall.

"The Rakshasa leads to a secluded place, and the bones of the Yellow Spring are cold." What is the font Hua Jingque said that he didn't know, but the master of the gold touching faction knew.

Below these two lines are also a brief biography of the Rakshasa Queen.

Born with double pupils, he is considered by the people of Rakshasa to be the son of hell and an ominous symbol. It was also after the birth of the Rakshasa Queen that various disasters began to occur in the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Fire, cracks, insects.

In just one month, the Rakshasa Kingdom lost nearly seventy percent of its population.

On the occasion of the full moon of the Rakshasa Queen, the Minister of the Interior performed a celestial sacrifice to the Rakshasa Queen. According to the description on the wall, the heavenly sacrifice of the Rakshasa Kingdom is very cruel, that is, the Rakshasa Queen is wrapped in a bloody white cloth and suffocated in a coffin.

It is said that it was a heavenly sacrifice ceremony presided over by a monk, so eighteen Buddhas were built.

But Hua Jingque said that there was no coffin in the tomb at that time, indicating that they did not find the main tomb, or it was stolen.

Next, Hua Jingque and the six of them all heard the baby's cry, and each of the six people felt a headache, followed by bleeding from the seven orifices.

The six men exited the burial chamber, and after exiting the burial chamber, they returned to normal.

Later, the pointer of the Tiangang compass reacted, and several people were unwilling, so they followed the instructions of the Tiangang compass and continued to explore the ancient tomb.

Hua Jingque said that they walked down a staircase, and they didn't know how deep they went, and they felt like they were almost underground. The last few people even had problems breathing, but Tiangang's compass reaction became stronger and stronger, and he went down hard.

As a result, one of the six people died, one disappeared to be exact. Because the torches were no longer used at that time, the night pearls they brought did not work.

I can only see nothing clearly by the glimmer of the fire fold.

The person who disappeared was none other than the master of the Gold Touching Sect, and with a scream, the whole person was gone.

Hua Jingque and the others felt frightened and hurriedly fled from the tomb.

While fleeing, Hua Jingque heard screams from underground, the screams of thousands of people.

After leaving the tomb of Queen Rakshasa , several people went to Wudang Mountain to find Shi He, who was known as the first Taoist priest at that time.

I have heard of this person, it is said that he is a descendant of Lu Dongbin's personal disciples, and my grandfather once mentioned him, saying that he has some real skills.

After Shi He saw the Tiangang compass, he told them that the Tiangang compass was the most evil thing in heaven and earth, and the five of them had been cursed in the tomb of the Rakshasa Queen.

If you want to live, you must suppress the Tiangang compass.

Under Shi He's guidance, they found the ancient tomb under Cheng's mansion. Because this ancient tomb is just at the dragon's eye of the Jinling dragon vein.

Shi He also told the five of them that this matter should rot in their stomachs, and they could not leak it out until they died of old age.

Hua Jingque said that he did not know who leaked the news, and that the five people who survived that year all died one after another within a month before the murder in Chengfu, and even Shi He died.

As for why Hua Jingque became a doctor, he wanted to use the method of making up for yin virtue and trying to prevent the curse from happening.

I asked Hua Jingque, can he really tell if a woman is pregnant and has a man or a woman in her belly?

Hua Jingque said that after coming out of the tomb of Queen Rakshasa, he had problems with his eyes and could see the structures in the human body.

But he didn't dare to speak out about this matter, and it was precisely by relying on this method that basically any disease could be cured. The name of the miracle doctor was slowly spread.

"Senior Hua, how did you know that several other people died?" I'm wondering about that.

Hua Jingque rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small half of his arm.

I saw that there were six plum blossom marks on my arms, only one of which was blood-red, and the rest were some black, as if they had scabs on their skin.

I was amazed that the six plum blossoms carved on his arm were a kind of Taoism.

It's called plum blossom symbiosis, and it's a very peculiar Taoist technique. Six people must be connected, and each person will have six plum blossoms engraved on their arms. If one of them dies, the plum blossom withers.

In other words, the other five people, including Shi He, were indeed dead.

"Then about the truth of the Tiangang compass, do senior Hua know?" I asked him again.

Hua Jingque told me that if it weren't for the murder of Cheng Fu, he wouldn't even want to think about it.

The voices he had heard in that underground would often appear in his dreams, as if they were engraved in his mind, and he would never forget them.

He was supposed to be next, and it would be his turn next. Even ready to die, having lived for so long, it is enough. I didn't know that nothing had happened until now.

As for the authenticity of the Tiangang compass, he had heard the news about it.

Hua Jingque said that perhaps before them, someone had been looking for the Tiangang compass. After all, according to the records on the wall in the tomb of Queen Rakshasa , it is very likely that the Tiangang compass was put into the tomb by the monk.

And I brought this eighteen bronze array, eighty percent of which is related to Shaolin Temple

I couldn't ask anything else, so I was ready to take my leave.

I told Hua Jingque that if he wanted to, he could go to my grandfather for help.

Hua Jingque suddenly asked me, "Ninth Prince, do you know why so few people are willing to go to your grandfather?" ”

"Why?"

"Nan Zheng is in the limelight for many years, and his ability is far beyond Shi He. However, he killed tens of thousands of Taoists for his own selfishness, and since then, few Taoists have been willing to deal with your grandfather. The title of the first person in Taoism fell to Shi He. After that, your grandfather rarely interacted with Taoists.

I have also heard a lot about Nan Ya over the years, on the one hand, his strength is really strong, on the other hand, many people still respect your grandfather and are willing to give your grandfather face.

I'm already old, and I've already seen it. But listen to me, there is something powerful in this world that we can't contend with. Tiangang compass, should you let go or let go. After Hua Jingque finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

I knew that he wouldn't say anything more, so I took my leave, "I know, I'll tell Nanya, thank you senior." ”

After leaving the courtyard, Niu Meng suddenly said to me, "Brother Jiu, this old man seems to be hiding a lot of things." ”

I nodded, "Normal, there are some secrets that can't be told, but it's enough to know that." Let's go, go find Nanya. ”
