Chapter Twenty-Five: Nine Corpses Locked
Diving underwater, the cave wall was muddy, the searchlight above our heads emitted a strong light, reflecting the rock formations in the cave wall very clearly, sure enough, after the water monkey was dealt with by us, the cave wall was no longer dangerous, we easily passed through the cave under the stone wall, and then surfaced along the undercurrent.
The tunnel under the artificial river is not very long, it took me less than half a minute to pass through the whole cave, when I poked my head out of the water again, my vision suddenly emptied, and on the stalactites hanging above my head, there were drops of water stains that seeped down and dripped on my forehead, which was cold.
The water temperature is getting higher and higher, we soak in the water level of the dark river with a water temperature of more than 40 degrees, and we only feel warm, it seems that we guessed correctly, there is really a hot spring nearby, but the environment in the cave is deep, and it is even darker, and we have not found out which direction the hot spring flows from.
According to my estimates, the volume of this cave is at least more than a football field, half of which is covered by hot spring water, and the other half is a black dark rock reef, not far from the perimeter of the waterway, and there are several artificial suspension bridges, not too wide, but can provide space for two people to walk side by side.
Ge Zhuang said, "It's really damn unlucky, this is a bridge and water, this is a hole in the ground, it is clearly a scenic spot, if I have money, my mother will contract this mountain, make this place a tourist attraction, let tourists visit his house every day, and I don't charge tickets!" ”
Ignoring Ge Zhuang's complaints, we paddled close to the reef, climbed up the rock formations at the edge of the water, passed through the narrow bridges, and continued to sneak towards the depths of the cave.
The cave is pitch black and deep, at first glance a few coffins, we all feel very infiltrating, Ge Zhuang held a flashlight, the strong light pillar swept over, the coffin actually showed a hideous wave, staring at the blood-red eyes, is prostrate looking at us.
"It's a wolf,!" Ge Zhuang was frightened, and said that this damn beast is actually hiding in such a place and wants to ambush us! As he spoke, he took out his gun, raised the muzzle of the gun and planned to aim it at the head wolf to strike first, I hurriedly pressed the muzzle of Ge Zhuang's gun, and said Fatty, didn't you find out that the head wolf was dead......
Yes?
Hearing my words, Ge Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered the muzzle of the gun to take a look, and sure enough, although the head wolf was lying on one of the coffins, he took a posture as if he was about to pounce on us at any time, but his body was stiff and stiff, and he kept a posture from beginning to end without moving. Apparently he has long been out of breath.
"Grandma Zhente's strange, could this thing be that there is too much blood, and it will be out of gas if you escape here?" Ge Zhuang cautiously approached the head wolf, stretched out his hand, and slapped it on the wolf's head a few times, and the head wolf's stiff body fell to the ground in response, and fell under the coffin with a "snap".
"Fatty, come back quickly, I feel that something is wrong in this place!" The death of the head wolf should have been a happy event, but as soon as I arrived at this place, I felt that my heart was blocked, especially those coffins that were placed here for unknown reasons, which made my heart furious, and I quickly called Ge Zhuang to stop.
We retreated to a relatively long distance, with the help of the flashlight, the white light in the cave was gloomy and cold, a large red coffin appeared in front of me, I counted, there were nine coffins, placed in different positions, not completely placed side by side, but in their own directions.
I glanced at it hurriedly, and said in my heart, the person who placed the coffin was really not simple, and Chen Yun beside me gently tugged on my sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sima Nan, do you see something, why do I think the position of this coffin is a little weird." ”
I said "um" and nodded yes, "This is a pattern in feng shui, called 'nine corpse locks', people in the last century were very superstitious, superstitious about the way of feng shui, and feng shui in addition to burying the soul, there are other functions, such as the feng shui pattern of the nine corpses in front of you, the coffin is placed in the direction of the nine palaces, in order not to move the burial, but to lock the soul." ”
"What do you mean by Soul Locking?" Chen Yun was not proficient in feng shui, so she whispered to me for advice.
I knew that the opportunity to perform had come, so I coughed lightly twice, circled around the coffin a few times, and then preached, "In fact, they are all superstitious sayings, the ancients believed that after death, the soul and body will be stripped away, and someone who has suffered a grievance before death will become a ghost, if the body is buried in the red sand, it will not be transformed for thousands of years, and it will become the legendary corpse king second only to the drought fish does not turn into bones, these nine corpse lock arrays, if my speculation is correct, is the feng shui master of the last century used to lock the bones of the feng shui array, The coffin won't be a good thing either. ”
"What could it be?" Chen Yun then asked.
I thought about it, and I don't know much about these things that suppress evil, but according to the record in the "Feng Shui Notes" left by the second master, there should be nine corpses in the coffin in order to suppress the evil, and the dead people in these nine coffins must not be natural deaths, they must be corpses.
Lao Zhong asked me again what is "corpse evil"? I thought about it and told him in a more concise and clear way, to put it simply, it is a person who dies horizontally, and the resentment will not be dispersed after death, so it is more of a condition to become a corpse, in short, these nine corpses lock the soul, and the town will definitely be a murderous thing, even the corpses contained in the nine coffins are by no means simple, don't approach them easily.
Ge Zhuang is a character who breaks the casserole and asks what will happen if I get closer? I smiled bitterly, "Once a living person gets close to the corpse, the yang qi will leak, which will inevitably lead to the clash of yin and yang, and the things in the coffin will naturally become corpses, do you understand?" ”
Ge Zhuang shook his face and said that he used nine zongzi to fill the eyes, this feng shui array is very evil, and Grandma Zhente is scary, so what is pressed under these nine coffins?
I said that it is not clear, I also know a little about feng shui, maybe I am wrong, this is not the so-called nine corpse lock array at all, but when the person was buried, the craftsman rushed home to eat, so it was placed in the wrong position.
Chen Yun was amused by my explanation, smiled lightly, and said It's a shame that you can think of such a ridiculous explanation, since this place has been put in a feng shui array, can you crack it?
I said no, I've only seen relevant records in books, but I've never seen it with my own eyes, whether it's for the purpose of setting up a formation and suppressing evil, we'd better stay away, don't crash into the dead, there won't be anything of value in these nine coffins.
Ge Zhuang disagreed, saying Little pumpkin, what kind of formation have you never seen in our line of work? : Ordinary people only feel bad luck when they see the coffin, but we are different, and only by raising the coffin can we make a fortune, but don't forget our always purpose of being a man.
