Chapter 18: The Secret of the Shangguan Family

A few people slowly approached the house, could there be still people in the house, those evil rakshasas, why didn't they kill Zhao Banxian directly, but took Zhao Banxian away.

Twelve in the fantasy walked over, the door opened, and Zhao Banxian welcomed them with a smile inside.

Guan Long wondered if there would be the Shurakshasa in that room.

Master Mao walked in front with a torch, and his mood was also nervous, for fear that he would see Zhao Banxian's body in the wooden house.

Everyone thought differently, and slowly walked to the wooden house, which had already collapsed in half, and the wooden house was full of dust, indicating that there was moving air here. Look at the stove outside the hut, look at the ashes of the stove, it has not been lit for at least decades, and there is a pile of hay next to it.

A few people walked to the wooden door, the wooden door had already fallen off, Master Mao put the torch into the wooden house, relieved, there was a simple wooden bed in the wooden house, outside it was the collapsed wall, it seemed that there was no one for a long time.

They were all relieved to not see what worries everyone.

It was dark all around, and he didn't know where to go, so Master Mao piled the hay that lit the fire next to the wooden house, lit the hay with a torch, and Guan Long, Guan Hu and Twelve threw the collapsed wooden blocks next to them into the fire.

The fire was burning brightly, and the surroundings became brighter and brighter, and the four of them felt much warmer.

In the firelight, a huge mountain wall appeared in front of the four people, there is an incomparably huge stone gate in the middle of the mountain wall, this stone gate is more than 20 meters high from the top of the cave to the bottom of the cave, a door is more than ten meters wide, the stone door opens a mouth five or six meters wide, you can see that the stone door is four or five meters thick. There were two huge stone lions on both sides of the door, and the whole scene was magnificent, shaking the hearts of the four people.

The crystal pillars at the top of the cave sent the light far away. In the distance inside the stone gate, there was a faint appearance of a city, countless houses, revealing a mystery in the darkness, and some weirdness.

How could this mountain man have seen such a magnificent stone gate, and everyone in them was dumbfounded.

It took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Who built this stone gate, who built the city behind this stone gate, what lived in it, was Zhao Banxian brought in by the evil rakshasa for a while, and countless mysteries were in everyone's hearts for a while.

Only then did Twelve come to his senses from his great surprise, "Is this hell?"

As soon as the words fell, knock, knock, the sound of a huge drum echoed through the huge empty cavern.

This familiar voice made everyone change color.

The cow drum actually sounded again.

It seems that as long as the stone door with the face of Shura painted is not closed, the smell of the dragon pill will lure the two big centipedes to run and beat the drum often.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound "Peng" from the stone door, and a puff of dust rose up, and the stone door slowly closed inward.

Could it be that the stone door was opened and closed by the sound of the drum?

Master Mao threw away the torch and rushed over with a knife. The stone gate can't be closed, and Zhao Mu hasn't heard any news yet.

Guan Long and Guan Hu Twelve also chased after him.

In this rush run, the four people were divided into three pieces, Master Mao rushed to the front, Guan Long and Guan Hu were in the middle, and Twelve fell behind.

The strange drum beat became faster and faster, and Master Mao ran faster and faster.

Knock knock knock, knock. The drums stopped, the stone gate made a collision sound, the two huge stone doors closed, and Master Mao had already run to the stone gate.

One step short, the stone door closed, and after a piece of dust fell from the stone door, it was still, returning to the way it was before it was opened, quiet, quaint, solemn, and heavy.

Guan Long and Guan Hu also arrived, and the three of them knew that they couldn't push it, so they pushed it hard, and the stone gate didn't move at all, as if they were pushing a mountain.

That's when I stopped.

Looking at this stone gate again, standing at the door, I realized my insignificance.

Twelve finally arrived, and the four of them silently looked at the big stone gate.

Master Mao coughed, and the four of them felt soreness all over their bodies at this time, especially the run just now, which affected the wounds on their bodies. Twelve and Guan Hu sighed softly twice, and then held back.

Master Mao saw the three people endure the pain, so he said to the three people, "Scream, the pain will be screamed loudly, it won't hurt so much, this sigh is the painkiller curse"

Twelve listened to it and was surprised, "Ouch, it's a painkiller spell?" ”

Master Mao looked at Twelve, "You're sick, you're injured, isn't it better to scream a few times?"

So the three of the twelve passes, the dragon and the tiger, were there and shouted "sigh, sigh".

"Well, it doesn't hurt so much, Master Mao, what's going on," Guan Long asked

"Our mantras are recited with our mouths, and the words are still recited, but in a different order, they become incantations. Alas, it is the simplest and most straightforward painkiller. If there is a spell, there is a charm, and the charm is also composed of words, can you recognize words?"

"No," the three of them replied together

Master Mao continued, "If you can read and write, you will know that different strokes are composed of different strokes, which means different meanings. The characters are also drawn one stroke at a time, just like writing. It's just that different combinations have different effects. ”

"Okay, let's look for a mechanism to open the door," after speaking, Master Mao went to inspect the stone seats of the two lions. The pedestal is too big, and if one pedestal is three people tall, the lion is even bigger. The house burned vigorously and the light grew brighter and brighter. Master Mao felt that something was wrong, and while retreating, he looked up at the lion. This is not a lion, a tiger head, a dragon body, dog ears, and a single horn, this is clearly the mount of the Jizo Bodhisattva.

Master Mao was a little surprised: "Could it be that this is really the Netherworld of the Jizo Bodhisattva?" ”

Looking back, no, it's certainly not. Master Mao was also a little disturbed by the pressure of this huge stone gate.

The stone door can't be opened, only looking around to see if there is a mechanism, the four people are looking around the stone gate, although they know in their hearts that this kind of stone door can be pushed open except for divine power. Even if it's a mechanism, how big a mechanism can it be to push the stone gate, I know that there is no hope, but I always have to look for it.

After some searching, it still didn't work.

It seemed that most of Zhao Banxian was dead, and the four of them stood silently in front of the stone gate.

Master Mao looked at his palm, and the disappeared lifeline returned. Zhao Mu died for himself. Thinking of this, Master Mao's eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, if it were an ordinary person, it would be good to scream a few times now and spit out the stuffy breath in his chest. But Master Mao has been enduring it, angry, desperate, and the pain hit, and Master Mao spit out a mouthful of blood.

Guan Long and Twelve called "Master Mao......"

Master Mao stood firm and shook his hand, "It's okay." ”

Several people fell silent again.

The whole wooden house was burning, the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and Master Mao's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the mountain wall next to the cave where they came down was densely packed with words. Could it be the information of the people who live in the cave? So he strode quickly over there, and Guan Long and the others followed.

The stone wall is indeed full of words, and there are two dry bones under the stone wall, and the two human bones are covered with dust, and it can be seen that these two people were leaning together when they died, and they have been dead for many years.

A few people walked to the stone wall and saw that the text was actually carved on the stone wall with an iron chisel. Then the carved characters were blackened with charcoal ash, as if for fear that others would not be able to see them.

The text uses standard regular script, Guan Long, Guan Hu and Twelve are Dou Da characters who do not know a basket, and most of the words are still patriotic. At this time, I want to be patriotic, and I know what I said above. At the thought of patriotism, the three of them were filled with anger and vowed to take revenge.

Master Mao has read a lot of Taoist books and Buddhist scriptures, and studied the integration of Taoism and Buddhism.

"Shangguan Shijie, Shangguan Shiqing" Master Mao put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes.

Guan Long, Guan Hu heard nothing, but these two names were stunned when they heard it, raised their eyebrows, and didn't say anything.

Guan Long and Guan Hu saw that Master Mao didn't say a word when he saw the words on the stone wall, so he came up with the names of two people, so he asked Master Mao what the stone wall meant.

Master Mao didn't speak, and after being silent for a while, he looked up at the stone wall and told the three people.

This Shangguan Shijie and Shangguan Shiqing used to be well-known figures in the Jianghu Daomen.

Legend has it that the ancestors of the Shangguan family studied under Lai Buyi in the Song Dynasty and were Lai Buyi's disciples. Dedicated to the imperial court, later it was said that Lai Buyi was framed by the traitorous minister Qin Hui, and Lai Buyi retired to the mountains and forests. The Shangguan family began to rise at that time, and from then on, the four major schools of Taoism were called "Quanzhen, Zhengyi, Maoshan, Shangguan" and Quanzhen, Zhengyi, and Maoshan alongside, which shows the prosperity of the Shangguan family at that time. Later, only a hundred years later, Shangguan Yimen disappeared from the rivers and lakes.

Twelve asked Master Mao at this time, "Master Mao, you seem to know Shangguan Shijie and Shangguan Shiqing." ”

Master Mao raised his head and said, "They are two brothers, Shangguan Shijie is my master."

Everyone else was stunned, but didn't speak.

Master Mao coughed and continued to say, "This stone wall said that the Shangguan family was famous all over the world at that time, but everyone was arrogant, just seeking to get a glimpse of the way of heaven, so they excavated the ancient tombs everywhere, looking for the documents in the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Western Zhou Dynasty, because Qin Shi Huang relied on artifacts to win the world, he was afraid that someone would learn the magic and obtain the artifact to take away his country, so he burned the books and pit Confucianism, in addition to the historical materials of the Qin State, burned all the books in the world, and the artifacts passed on to the three emperors by the heavens and men in the past, the magic was destroyed in one fell swoop."

The Shangguan family, the people's hearts are insufficient, trying in vain to find magic and artifacts, seeking immortality, boundless mana, stealing and digging countless ancient tombs, finding clues, and opening the stone gate here with a Kui Niu drum, inside the stone gate is an uninhabited ancient city, in the middle of the ancient city, there is a cave sealed by a stone gate on the ground, and five artifacts that can be changed to heaven and disobey fate are placed on the stone gate.

They took the artifact at that time, but the person who kept the artifact took the opportunity to steal the five artifacts. At that time, the stone door on the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark bottomless pit. All the people gathered around the cave to watch.

Voices from hell were heard in the cave.

Immediately a large number of evil rakshasas crawled out of the hole, and they thought that these were the corpses of Habi, and that hell was below. The seal of the celestials was opened by them, and they dug up human graves, which angered the heavens, so that they were punished and slaughtered here. Of more than 200 people, only seven survived. The people of the Shangguan family have been cursed by the gods, and the souls of those who have been bitten to death by these evil rakshasas can only stay in the underworld, and only by putting back the five artifacts can they be reincarnated.

The two surviving elders of the Shangguan family were ashamed and indignant, and refused to go out of the cave to see the world again, so they stayed in the cave, swearing when to find the artifact and when to get out of the cave.

The remaining five descendants went out to retrieve the five artifacts and put them back in order to free the people who died tragically, and to prevent these evil spirits from harming the world.

Because of the shame, let the rest of the people go out, can no longer live in the world in the name of the official family, at the bottom is the three rank words, this official family stipulates that all descendants are only allowed to take their own name, the name must be in accordance with the provisions on the stone wall, probably some prophecy. It must be in this order, and the son of the last descendant in this order takes the first name in this order, and so on...... Before his death, my master told me that he had a younger brother, Shangguan Shiqing, and I don't know if there are any descendants, so this is the reason. Master never told me these things.

It turned out that this was the reason why the Shangguan family disappeared. Master only told me to guard the cave, but I didn't expect it to be such a big reason.

From here, the descendants of Shangguan Shiqing should be called Shangguan Jinyun, and then Shangguan Longwang is behind.

"Shangguan Longwang?" Guan Long and Guan Hu shouted in unison, although they had a premonition in their hearts, they didn't expect that there was really the name of Shangguan Longwang.

Twelve was staring blankly at the words on the stone wall.

"My grandfather is Shangguan Shiqing, and my father's name is Shangguan Jinyun"

"I have a book with these names at home, and my dad said that my son will be called Shangguan Shuli in the future"

Although Master Mao had already decided on this matter in his heart, he still couldn't help but look back at the stone wall, and Shangguan Long looked at it and wrote in horror ------Shangguan Shuli."

"It turns out that you are the descendant of the Shangguan family," Master Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your grandfather and your father's mother" Although everyone in New China is generally called dad and mom. But Master Mao is still used to being called Daddy.

My parents have been away from home a lot since they were young, and even when they are at home, they often sigh. Once they came back happily, and after a few days they went out again, and this time they never came back. I don't know anything about my grandfather except for his name, and I haven't seen it.

I only know that my grandfather fled from outside and settled here.

Since I was a child, people in the village said that my parents begged outside and looked down on me, but the village chief and Daddy Guan did not dislike me and raised me.

Guan Long and Guan Hu heard Twelve say this, remembered that he was bullied by others when he was twelve years old, and thought of patriotism, and tears left in his eyes.

Master Mao glanced at the words on the stone wall again, "It seems that your grandfather moved here to return the five artifacts and break the curse, and your father and mother often go out of the mountain mostly for this matter." Master Mao paused, "You may have clues at home."

Twelve suddenly seemed to have grown up, and took the initiative to ask Master Mao, "Master Mao, what are the clues on this stone wall?"

Master Mao took another deep breath, "What is written above is the same as what my master said, seven days after the Soul Breaking Pass is opened, the Teng Snake Divine Beast will change its blood again, the drum sounds, the upper and lower stone doors will be closed, and the next time it is opened, it will be nine years later, and then use Kuiyang blood or fairy blood to break the King Kong Five Thunder Mantra to open the stone door, if no one opens it, the Teng Snake will always be lurking, just like hibernation." ”

Guan Long and the three of them knew that the big centipede was called Teng Snake, and Guan Long and Guan Hu had seen more animals in the past ten years, "What kind of animal is this Teng Snake?" ”

"This is the legendary six ancient beasts, I didn't expect there to be such a thing,

The six ancient gods, the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, the Gou Chen, the Teng snake.

At the beginning, this Teng snake cultivated with centipede feet and crab claws, and wanted to find a foreign body like Long Dan to exchange blood, and it seems that Long Dan may really be the dragon's inner Dan.

This Teng snake slowly cultivated into a demon form through blood exchange, that is, the snake body, long teeth, many feet, and then cultivated, it will be cultivated into a fairy body, that is, the Teng snake beast, at that time, the foot degradation is completed, and it will become the legendary snake body, dragon scales, and bird wings.

Twelve didn't want to hear this, he just wanted to know how the door would open, and wanted to rush in and kill the evil rakshasas who had been stabbed with a thousand knives. I asked Master Mao, "Is there any way to open the stone door?"

Master Mao shook his head, everyone actually knew that just now he rushed into the cave with a lot of blood, even if he caught up with that group of evil rakshasas, he had no chance of winning, there were only three big knives, and now there are only two. And Zhao Banxian has been arrested for so long, even if he chases him, it is only a corpse. Knowing is knowing, but people don't live by reason all their lives, and if the stone door can be opened now, they will also rush in with a knife.

Master Mao shook his head, "This stone door should be closed on the seventh day since the cave was opened, this is not yet noon, how can it be closed, we can only open it after nine years if we find five artifacts." If the stone gate above is closed, it will be difficult to do, if you can get out, go to your house to see if your father and mother have left any clues.

Although the apprentice was taken away, Master Mao still resolutely turned his back and walked towards the entrance of the cave that slid down, Guan Long and Guan Hu looked at each other, hesitated, patted Twelve's shoulder, and said, "Let's go." "I can only follow Master Mao.

Twelve looked at the backs of Master Mao and Guan Long and Guan Hu, knelt down against the two skeletons under the stone wall, kowtowed three times, stood up and looked at the huge stone gate for a long time, suddenly turned his head, and ran towards the dark hole.
