The sound of the ghost knocking on the door probably lasted for half a stick of incense, and the cry of the tanuki also turned into a howl in the time of half a burnt incense, just like the cry of a baby, which frightened the five people in the house.

People, the most afraid is not death, but the fear of dying, although this Chang has made up his mind to die, but in the face of this deadly unknown power, it still reveals the innate survival of animals. Not only Chang's, but even Ding Yi began to be afraid at this moment, originally, Ding Yi knew that as a key criminal wanted by the whole country in the imperial court, it was very good to live until now, and he never took death seriously; The reason why he did not hesitate to hide from his life was all for his wife and children, but at this moment, Ding Yiyou really felt the fear of dying for the first time in his life, and the stiff corpse of Chang Sishan's family immediately came to mind, especially Chang Sishan's father, whose eyes were open when he died, hanged with his eyes open, and his face was hideous, this was the first time he had seen it in Ding Yi, although the person had been hardened, but the fear of dying in his eyes seemed to be frozen in his pupils, At first, Ding Yi couldn't figure it out, but at this moment he completely understood that the old man didn't want to hang himself at all, when he was hung by a rope, his consciousness was probably awake, and he probably watched himself hang himself...

Just when Ding Yi was thinking wildly, the sound of the ghost knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and I don't know if it was the civet cat's howl that played a role, or Chang's loud head touched the thing, except for the polite muffled snort and Chang's sobbing, there was no other sound in the room, and Chang was also frightened. The cat stopped humming, only the silence of death remained, and the atmosphere was even more eerie than when the ghost knocked on the door.

Just when Ding Yi wiped his sweat and was about to hang back the demon mirror that had fallen on the ground. Suddenly, the door opened, and the huge force suddenly pushed Ding Yi to his head, his head was knocked on the corner of the table, and he politely ran past Ding Yi's body, Ao stood at the door, Ding Yi covered his head and slowly raised his head, and suddenly saw that the cat body at the door seemed to be several times bigger, and the huge body almost blocked the entire door, and the nine tails opened in a fan-like shape, and the hair on the whole body was black gas. Ding Yi closed his eyes and shook his head, and then looked fixedly, the cat is a cat, it has not become big, and there is only one tail.

"Could it be that I opened Tiancong in the dark!?" Ding Yi stood up on the table and grabbed the peach branch. At this time, the tanuki suddenly turned its head to Ding Yi and bit the corner of Ding Yi's clothes with his mouth. Desperately dragged out of the door, the power was as strong as a big living person.

Ding Yi understood that the cat was not malicious, but let himself follow it, "Perhaps, this cat knows how to break this thing?" But if you go by yourself, how about the four people in the house? ”

When Ding Yi was hesitating, his youngest son suddenly rolled his eyes, and his pupils immediately turned into spinning spindles. Or rather, it turned into a pair of cat's eyes, "Ding Gong, you come with me, your wife and children and my father-in-law can be safe!" After saying this, the youngest son foamed at the bed and fell into Luo's arms unconscious.

Hear that. Ding Yi completely understood that this cat was here to repay Ding Yichang's kindness, and he must not tell lies, "You take care of the child, I will go back when I go... If I can't come back...... You leave the Changjia camp with your sister-in-law and the child as soon as you want to leave the camp tomorrow morning, and you must bring the child up! After explaining to Roche, Ding stepped out of the house one by one, closed the door with his backhand, and disappeared into the night with the black cat.

It's strange to say, this Ding Yi usually has no power to bind the chicken, and a chick has to catch a chick in the crack of the fence for a long time, but this night he feels that he is full of inexhaustible energy, jumping over the ridge like walking on the ground, and then he was born with night blindness, and it is difficult to see things in the dark, and it is difficult to move an inch without lights, but this night to see things very clearly, the black civet cat running four or five feet away in front of him, every move can be seen clearly.

Jumping around, Ding Yi followed the black civet cat to Chang Sishan's house, and saw the civet cat stopped in front of a large water tank.

"What does that mean?" Ding Yi came to the water tank, looked at the water tank carefully, obviously not the current thing, the shape of the water tank is strange, a bit like a gourd, in the middle and upper section of the tank respectively have two protruding "belly", the tank is engraved around a circle of animal patterns, it seems that it is not a thing for water, but some kind of sacrificial vessel in ancient times, I have been to Chang Sishan's house before, just a few pieces of broken furniture, I have never seen this thing at all, "Could it be that it was dug from the mountains in the past few days?" ”

Ding Yi was pondering, and suddenly saw the tanuki slammed towards the water tank, and suddenly his head broke and blood flowed, and the sound was like a landslide, and the broken house of Chang Sishan's house shook three times, but the tanuki did not want to stop, but took a few steps back, and continued to hit the water tank with his head, and there was a loud noise, after hitting these two times, the tanuki was already unstable, but he still swayed backwards, ready to continue to hit.

"It turns out that there was an accident in Changjiaying, and that's because of this..."Ding Yi sighed, "God bless my wife and children!" Wu Ding is gone! Sighing, Ding Yi took a few steps back, and slammed his head into the water tank, only to hear a loud sound like the sky and the earth cracking, and even Chang and Luo, who were trembling together, were frightened...

"Oh...! This is a corpse furnace! Hearing this, Zhang Guozhong can be regarded as hearing a little eyebrows, when I heard the master mention this thing, since the beginning of the Warring States, alchemy began to prevail in the world, people firmly believe that you can achieve the purpose of immortality or immortality by taking pills, before the Han Dynasty, alchemy is mainly based on yellow and white atractylodes, and most of its raw materials are mercury, lead, tin and other heavy metal substances, to the Qin and Han dynasties, there is gradually a "golden pill", its raw materials have increased some non-metallic substances, but most of them are still heavy metals, when to the Sui and Tang dynasties, Jindanshu is still loved by most princes and nobles, but as we all know, the pill is to be taken with the "heart method" of many Taoist schools (Maoshan and Quanzhen all have the heart method, although the details are different, but basically it can be said to be the same), those who understand the "heart method" take the pill, which can increase the vitality and replenish qi, prolong life, but if ordinary people take this kind of heavy metal content seriously exceeding the standard, the consequences are no different from directly drinking pesticides, not only can not live forever, but are easy to be poisoned.

As more and more people died of poisoning due to taking pills, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the traditional pills based on Jindan gradually lost the trust of the princes and nobles, which meant that some of the monks who specialized in alchemy for the dignitaries and nobles had no jobs, and in order to regain the trust of these princes and nobles, these monks invented a terrifying pill - Chiling Pill.

The so-called red elixir, its raw materials are not traditional heavy metal materials, but the big living people who are alive and jumping, most of the early monks jīng study Taoism, when refining people into pills, they will try their best to seal people's souls in the pills, this kind of pills will not be poisoned after taking them, on the contrary, they will also produce effects similar to stimulants, for a while, the so-called red spirit pills began to quickly become popular in the upper society, but the use of alchemy is different from the use of metal alchemy, to involve feng shui issues, Most of the red elixir pill dan room is built in the deep mountains to yīn, and the refining method is also strictly secret to the outside world, this "corpse refining kiln" is the container for refining the red elixir, the scientific name is "golden body kui", and "corpse refining kiln" is just a common name.

However, not every alchemist is a master of Taoism, due to the popularity of the Red Spirit Pill, some red-eyed two-knife alchemists also blindly got on the horse, changed their careers and began to refine the Red Spirit Pill, these people do not have the ability to seal the soul of the person in the Dan, most of the resentful souls of the refiners are left on this "corpse refining kiln", rì for a long time, thousands of souls will become the climate, so these two-knife Fangshi became the first batch of unlucky eggs, which can be regarded as self-reaping, coincidentally, although this "corpse refining kiln" let these two-knife monks send xìng lives, But it made another group of people think about making a fortune, and these people are some Taoist disciples with bad hearts. In the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were countless scum of the Daomen who used the abandoned corpse refining kiln to extort and rob their homes and even make money and kill them, and this thing was also recognized as one of the most difficult things in later generations.

"Could it be that you can break that thing with a headbutt?" Zhang Guozhong didn't know much about the corpse refining kiln, but when he heard Sun Ting say this, he was confused.

"No, that method was only taught by the tanuki, it's very strange, that night, Ding Yi and the tanuki did exchange their lives for the lives of Ding Yi's wife and children and the old lady Chang's life, but in the next few decades, Chang's camp was famous far and wide, and none of the people who went came back alive..."Sun Ting sighed.

"Ding Yi... And that tanuki... All dead? Zhang Guozhong's face showed a sense of regret.

"Yes... Chang and Luo searched door to door in the village the next day, and finally found the bodies of Ding Yi and the cat at Chang Sishan's house.

After finding Ding Yi's body, Luo passed out on the spot, and Chang also held the cat's corpse and cried to death several times, fortunately, the two children were still sensible, watching their mother and the old lady sad and tight, although it was very uncomfortable to have no father, but they still comforted the two elders left and right.

In the end, Mrs. Chang and Luo Shi dug two shallow pits at the entrance of the village, one large and one small, buried Ding Yi and the tanuki, and took all the savings of the Ding family (Ding Yi is a poor fortune teller, and the family does not take advantage of anything valuable, although Daoguang Ye gave a thousand taels of silver and has not moved much, but it is cash silver, one thousand taels is one hundred catties, Luo Shi has two children, and a lame old lady, at most he can take two hundred taels, and the rest is thrown at home), while the sky is still bright, the four of them fled from the Changjia camp as if fleeing, to grace and settle down.

Just a few days after arriving at Shi'en, Luo fell ill in bed, this illness is a year, although Langzhong from ten miles and eight towns have been invited, but this Luo finally went to see his husband in Xianfeng for three years...
