Jianwen Mystery Chapter 40 Encirclement

"What did you find?" At this time, Qin Ge also walked to the statue with the mortar pistol.

"There is no ...... for the time being" Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou looked through the gaps in the jade clothes, and found that this statue seemed to be indeed solid, and there seemed to be no gaps or secret doors on the upper and lower parts of Zhou's body, "It's strange, the iron tool is blocking the sun, and wearing jade clothes for an iron statue, what kind of fucking rule is this?" Old Liu straightened up and took two steps back, looking horizontally and vertically, there was nothing special.

"Under normal circumstances, we all take this method......" I saw Qin Ge put the pistol behind his back, reached out and pulled out the dagger from the boot, and cut it to the end along the gap in the jade clothes at the back of the statue's head from top to bottom, and then gently dragged it with his hand, and the whole jade clothes were taken off like "undressing" with a bang, and many scattered jade pieces fell into the water with a crackle.

"Qin Ye...... You ...... "Old Liu Tou is also stupid, jade clothes have always been a national treasure, you Qin Ge is known as an archaeologist all day long, and he also specializes in ancient jade, how can you be so bad about the treasure?"

"This jade robe does not have any research value" Qin Ge shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, lowered his head and dipped it in some water and began to wipe the statue, "There was no custom of wearing jade clothes for burial in the Ming Dynasty, and besides, this jade robe is not a burial object, nor a ritual vessel, nor a handicraft, but the props specially made for this ceremony are really worth studying, it is the statue inside the jade robe" As he spoke, Qin Ge had already wiped off the floating soil on the surface of the statue, only to see a vivid naked iron man standing in the water, The size and proportions are no different from ordinary people, the whole body is naked, the muscle texture is realistic and delicate, and the jīng of the carver is simply a fight with Michelangelo's "David" statue.

"What the hell is this statue of Zhu Yunwen?" Looking at this vivid iron statue, Lao Liu Tou was also surprised, "Could it be that this thing is standing here for the purpose of suppressing ghosts?" According to the traditional theory of Taoism, that is, the theory mentioned in the allusion of "Yang Fu and Bamboo", if the resentment died at the hands of someone before his death, or was surrendered by someone, not only will he be afraid of the real person, but the things he has used, statues and even portraits and even copies of these things will become the object of fear of resentment, if Zhao Jinzhou was really suppressed by Zhu Yunwen, placing his statue in this does have the effect of suppressing ghosts, but what does it mean that the statue is dressed in jade clothes?

"It shouldn't be a quick look here for the ghosts" Among the three people in front of him, several Zhang Guozhong had the best eyes, when Qin Ge first began to wipe the statue with a handkerchief, Zhang Guozhong found that there seemed to be some small holes on the surface of the statue, about a little thicker than the eye of the needle, just like an acupuncture bronze man, with a chest and back, at first, Zhang Guozhong thought that the statue had been corroded by the cháo gas in the cave for many years, but after Qin Ge wiped the statue all over the body, Zhang Guozhong found that these small pores did not seem to be as simple as "corroded". "Look at these little eyes on the statue"

"Huh?" Old Liu Tou lowered his head and leaned in front of him, and found that there were indeed many small holes on the statue, which looked like an acupuncture bronze man, but at least half of these small holes were not acupuncture points, "What are these eyes for?" Acupuncture bronze man? ”

"Could it be ......" Zhang Guozhong's heart moved, and he reached out and touched the top of the iron statue's head, "Sure enough, senior brother, these are the veins of yīn yang, you can touch them."

Hearing Zhang Guozhong say this, Lao Liu Tou hurriedly stretched out his hand to the top of the iron statue's head, only to feel that at the position of the "Huiding" vein of the iron statue, there was a hole about the thickness of a straw like a soda drink, and the diameter was obviously much larger than the small eyes on his body.

"Senior brother, this statue, the seven veins inside are open" Zhang Guozhong gasped, carefully inspected the front chest and back of the iron statue, and sure enough, the small hole in the "seven veins" position on the statue is significantly thicker than the small hole of other conventional acupuncture points, "Could it be that the ashes are used?" Standing up, Zhang Guozhong suddenly remembered the stone bed outside that seemed to have burned animal corpses, "Senior brother, I understand the 'Hundred Steps Soul Restoration Array' you said, I know the principle of the so-called immortal."

"Oh?" Lao Liu frowned, "Let's talk about it"

"Zhu Yunwen has indeed become an immortal here," Zhang Guozhong frowned and said, "Do you remember what I said, there is a 'Baizhang Pool' used for 'venting evil' outside?" The function of that pool is not to 'vent evil' at all, but to let Zhu Yunwen leave this cold bone cave after ascending to immortal."

In people's impressions or ancient legends, if a person becomes an immortal, he generally steps on auspicious clouds or rides a crane and rides a lin, and the glorious image of the body is radiant, but if it is strictly defined by Taoist theory, the standard of becoming an immortal is not a crane unicorn or a radiant one, but through the discerning eyes of the soul of the face.

In the discerning eye, the evil qi is green sè or blue sè, the yang qi is yellow sè or orange red sè, the ordinary soul should be white sè or rǔ white sè, the soul with yīn qi is gray sè, and there are a few resentful black sè, but according to legend, there is also a kind of soul that presents purple sè or pink purple sè, which is the legendary "becoming an immortal".

Maybe it's a coincidence, according to legend, before Lao Tzu passed the Hangu Pass, Yin Xi saw that there was purple gas coming from the east, knowing that there would be a saint to pass through, and sure enough, Lao Tzu rode a green ox to come, and since then the purple sè has been enshrined as the sè of the holy immortals by the Daomen, and after some of the Taoist masters are feathered, their souls can often also show this kind of sè color that completely deviates from common sense, according to legend, when the true patriarch Wang Chongyang feathered, his disciple Qiu had seen the purple qi of the patriarch's immortal body stacked in his eyes, and then Chongyangzi's body was not rotten, which was a sign of becoming an immortal, Similar legends or records in other sects are not difficult to find, with the existing theory of Taoism, it is impossible to explain these phenomena, so it can only be attributed to "becoming an immortal", which must also be the core standard of the Northern Song Dynasty masters to judge Zhao Guanshan's "ten generations as immortals" theory, that is to say, that Zhao Guanshan, it is likely that the soul of a common man also presents a "purple sè".

According to Zhang Guozhong's inference, Zhao Guanshan's method of experimenting with "Ten Virtues for Immortals" should be like this: first find a cave similar to the "Cold Bone Cave", where the soul cannot get out, but can swim in the cave; After that, the body was burned in the cave, and although the soul had resentment, it could not get out of the cave, so it could only be attached to the ashes.

After that, according to the form of the deceased before his death, cast an iron statue, just like the iron statue of the cold bone cave now, vivid and realistic shape, and the iron statue inside to reserve a hollow pipe, the path of this pipe is roughly the same as the path of the seven veins in the human body, and then the ashes are poured into the iron statue through the hole at the top of the iron statue's head "Huiding vein", which is filled between the "seven veins" inside the iron statue. Through these holes, a series of natural procedures such as resurrection are carried out, and the jade clothes draped over the iron statue are probably used to neutralize the resentment of the soul caused by the "burning of the corpse".

In addition, the water and rush grass in the cave also play an important role, according to the analysis of the old man Ma Sijia, the rush grass has the effect of transmitting yīn grievances, and the rush grass all over the mountains and fields plus the underground lake in the cave is tantamount to forming a natural yīn yang circulation network, which is very similar to the "seven passes and seven gates" in nature, according to Zhao Guanshan's theory of "ten virtues for immortals", the soul should complete the experience of ten reincarnations and wandering through the seven levels in the narrow yīn yang network of bronze people, water, and rush grass, if it is a man-made seven levels and seven gates, It is easy to be discovered by the soul (only evil ghosts have no IQ, since the "ten good are immortals", the soul is definitely not an evil ghost, so the IQ is much higher than that of the evil ghost), compared to artificially setting up a situation, this almost natural yīn yang network is closer to nature, and the blinding of the soul is better, and it will not be discovered.

"This should be the formation of the 'Hundred Steps Soul Restoration Array', setting up a formation, so that the soul can be reincarnated ten times, and after reaching the goodness of the tenth world, the soul will appear purple, and it will become an immortal" Zhang Guozhong said, "We think that the dark path and the 'Baizhang Pool' used for 'venting evil' are the 'back door' for the soul to come out of the cave after becoming an immortal."

"Become an immortal, and still go through the 'back door'?" Qin Ge smiled slightly.

"Shall you be as wise as your soul?" Lao Liu Tou said, "This hole is a trumpet, even if you become an immortal, you can't get out, you can only go through the 'back door'"

"Didn't you say that there was still a Zhao Jinzhou in the cave?" Qin Ge said, "What if he also 'goes out' through the back door?" ”

"Are you as smart as Zhao Jinzhou as you?" Lao Liu Tou looked disdainful, "The more evil the ghost, the more stupid he is, after becoming an immortal, he must be much smarter than the evil ghost, the immortal can find the exit, but the evil ghost can't find it"

"Zhang Zhangjiao, I don't understand, since this is Zhu Yunwen's place to become an immortal, why put Zhao Jinzhou's body in? Could it be that this is also part of becoming an immortal? Qin Ge still seemed to have doubts, "Also, what is Zhu Yunwen's motive for becoming an immortal?" Such a huge project, it is not like he is an incognito wanted criminal is capable of doing it, who is behind him to help him? Or, if there is really someone here who becomes an immortal, the person who becomes an immortal is not Zhu Yunwen? ”

"This ......" Zhang Guozhong also seemed to be a little puzzled, "I haven't thought about it yet......"

"Zhang Zhangjiao, I don't think that Su Tieli's matter has anything to do with here......" Qin Ge checked the iron statue, and there didn't seem to be any words or patterns carved on the surface of the iron statue, "That Huang Xian said in the poem, 'Jianwen returns to the hidden machine Xuan', but if Zhu Yunwen really becomes an immortal and leaves here, this is not his 'home'"

"Not necessarily" Lao Liu Tou said, "What people say is clear, it is hiding 'mysteries', not hiding 'corpses', that is, the corpses are not here, but the clues are likely to be here."

"This place has been isolated from the world for a hundred years, and Su Tieli's matter is not long ago," Qin Ge said, "How could a cave hundreds of years ago have a clue to this matter?" ”

Just when the two were arguing, they heard a commotion at the entrance of the cave, and with this sound, the searchlight went out instantly, and there were only three flashlights left in the dark hole.

"Who" Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu's first reaction was to pull out the sword, Qin Ge also raised the 12.5 mm caliber M500 mortar, and the three flashlights instantly brushed in the direction of the hole, only to see the big hand Liu standing in place stupidly, and seemed to be looking around.

"Brother Liu, what's going on?" Lao Liu Tou cautiously walked to the entrance of the cave with the seven-star sword horizontally, only to see that the searchlight on the ground had been smashed to pieces, and the force was at least eighteen pounds before the sledgehammer could be smashed out.

"I ...... I don't know ......" Big Hand Liu was sweating profusely, "I just look at you, I don't know why it's like this......"

"It's Zhao Jinzhou" Qin Ge couldn't help but pick up the 12.5 mm caliber mortar in his hand, and Lao Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong also took a photo of the flashlight up and down, left and right.

"Dodge" at this time, the big hand Liu suddenly shouted, stepped forward and reached out to grab Zhang Guozhong's clothes and threw it to the side, for the big hand Liu, Zhang Guozhong was defenseless, after this throw, he only felt that his body instantly lost his center of gravity, and his ears flew out of three or four meters with a whirl, and then fell to the ground with a pop.

"Brother Liu, you ......" Zhang Guozhong struggled to turn over, and flashed a flashlight, and was immediately scared into a cold sweat, only to see that where he was standing just now, there was a black shadow standing at this time, if it wasn't for the big hand Liu just threw himself out, I am afraid that he would have to be caught by this grandfather.

"Be careful" Qin Ge took aim with his gun and slowly retreated, and the old Liu Tou also put on a posture to meet the enemy, and retreated vigorously, only the big hand Liu stood in place and did not move.

"Brother Liu, back away" Zhang Guozhong stood up with a roll, fixed his mind and looked at himself, only to see that the resentment was covered with a layer of torn linen cloth up and down, and the linen cloth on his body was not wrapped around like a mummy, but covered one by one, "It's not that Zhao Jinzhou has something else in this hole."

"Could it be ......" Hearing Zhang Guozhong say this, Qin Ge was also stunned, took out the signal gun after handing over the pistol to one hand, and slammed a shot out of the illumination, under the strong light, everyone was completely stupid, only to see that not far from the three of them, there were several black shadows standing in twos and threes, the black shadows were tall, short, fat and thin, as if they were covered with rags, but they just didn't see the "human core" that Zhang Guozhong said was suspected to be Zhao Jinzhou.

"Damn, it's not just Zhao Jinzhou, his family is here...... "Old Liu's sweat also came down, "Brother Liu, you get out of the hole first"

"Oh" Big hand Liu nodded, just turned around and wanted to drill the small hole to go out, only to see a black shadow falling from the sky standing in front of him, feeling that a person suddenly appeared in front of him, big hand Liu Meng looked up, only to see that the opposite one was like a skinned rabbit, there was no trace of skin on his body. "Oh mom" It was so sudden to say that even the big hand Liu couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright, it didn't matter if he retreated, he just retreated into the arms of the black grandfather just now......

"Danger" Seeing that the big hand Liu was still half a meter away from the grievance behind him, Qin Ge raised his gun and aimed at the head of the grievance, and slammed it with a shot, to say that this 12.5 mm caliber bullet is indeed not a joke, the "bullet flame" of the muzzle alone is the size of a basketball, and the whole cave is like a flash, and the bullet is slanted upwards at a 60-degree angle, and hits directly on the rock wall on the top of the cave. "Qin Ye...... Where are you aiming? When Qin Ge fired, the old Liu Tou, who was standing on Qin Ge's oblique side, couldn't help but bow his head, and he felt that the bullet seemed to be directly above his head.

"Ah......h To tell the truth, although Qin Ge has full confidence in his marksmanship, he really underestimated the huge recoil of this pistol, Qin Ge has also used a lot of large-caliber pistols before, among which the biggest recoil is the famous "Desert Eagle", which is also 12.5 mm caliber, and his heart said that this gun will not be greater than the recoil of the "Desert Eagle" anyway, but I didn't expect that the recoil of this M500 is really greater than that of the "Desert Eagle", and it is not a little bit bigger, at least more than double, This almost broke his wrist directly.

To tell the truth, the big hand Liu was not far from the resentment behind him, Qin Ge shot this time, and the frightened big hand Liu took two steps back, and leaned on the arms of the black grandfather behind him.

"Brother Liu" just now the old Liu Tou also wanted to step forward, but was shaken by the fireball when Qin Ge shot, at this time just regained his eyesight and saw that the big hand Liu had retreated into the arms of the resent, without saying a word, he stepped forward and waved the seven-star sword in his hand, according to the neck of the black grandfather in front of him is a sword, only to feel that the sword seemed to be cut on the tire of the car, and it was bounced back with a bang. It's like stabbing into a firewood stack, snorting into a large piece, and when the sword is pulled back, the place where it was pierced quickly returns to its original form, as if it had not been stabbed.

To tell the truth, at this moment, Lao Liu Tou was also shocked, this is a seven-star sword in his hand, cutting gold and breaking jade can suppress demons, the flagship work of Ou Yezi, the ancestor of the sword caster, and the portable treasure of Li Yuan, the ancestor of Tang Gaozu; Back then, it was understandable that the corpse of the iron lock could not be cut in the "Bang Pond", and the people were covered with iron nets all over their bodies, and the bullets could not penetrate it, and now this thing is obviously a layer of rags all over the body, how can it not be cut?

At this moment, I saw that the resentful shouted and opened his arms, and with a poof, he hugged the big hand Liu, and the big hand Liu was also stunned, and his body subconsciously struggled, feeling that the whole body seemed to be caught by the iron gate, and he couldn't move, "dodging" At this moment, the big hand Liu was also anxious, and he screamed and the green tendons on his cheeks jumped up, but he never broke free.

"Brother Liu" Zhang Guozhong had already rushed to the grievances at this time, and the sword went over his head to slash Huashan with one move, and he used all the strength to eat nǎi, only to hear a poof, and the effect of the sword slashing on the grievances was similar to that of Lao Liu......
