Chapter 37 Fighting Poison with Poison

As early as the early days of apprenticeship, Ma Zhenren told Zhang Guozhong a story that has been passed down from Maoshan to a long time, which should be called a "classic case" in today's words.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a prefect named Song Kejin, after his father died of illness, he wanted to be buried in the ancestral tomb, but because of the diversion of the river, he was forced to be buried in a place one mile away from the ancestral tomb. Later, a Taoist priest named Sun Shide came to the place where his father was buried, and found a tomb of a Mongolian nobleman of the Yuan Dynasty not far away, which was in the Yunqi position of the lord of the tomb of the Song father, and immediately concluded that this tomb of the Yuan Dynasty was the culprit of the Song father's unrest.

Song Kejin originally wanted to dig up his father's coffin and move it to another place, but in ancient times, digging up the coffin was a great disrespect to the deceased, let alone his father's coffin? When Song Kejin was at a loss, Daoist Sun gave him a note, asking him to find a vicious murderer, and then negotiate a deal with the murderer, if the murderer promised Song Kejin that he would protect his father after his death, he promised to treat him well with wine and meat before he was beheaded, and he could be buried after he was beheaded, and burn a hundred catties of paper money.

Although he is also suspicious, but he dreams of his father every day, but in desperation, Song Kejin quickly reached an agreement with Cheng Song, a Jiangyang thief who was carrying more than a dozen lives, and made a statement. This Cheng Song was also confused, thinking that pies had fallen from the sky, and there was such a confused official in the world, so he happily agreed to Song Kejin's conditions, and became a dead ghost after eating good wine and food for a month.

After Cheng Song was beheaded, Song Kejin really chose a first-class coffin to bury him according to the contract before his death, and then burned more than 100 catties of paper money for Cheng Song, along with the notes that Cheng Song made before his death.

According to the arrangement of Daoist Sun, Cheng Song was buried in the Su Qi position of the Lord Yin Chang next to the tomb of the Song father, and since then, Cheng Song's tomb has been used as an array to lay down a "Liberation Array", and the Yin Qi in the leylines has been continuously transported to Cheng Song's coffin.

Sure enough, on the night of Cheng Song's burial, Song Kejin suddenly dreamed that his father was smiling, standing in front of him neatly, nodding at himself, and behind his father, a black-faced man was standing respectfully, it was Cheng Song, and since then, Song Kejin has never dreamed of his father being whipped.

Although this story is a legend, it is also a precedent of "fighting poison with poison", and the practice of Taoist Sun in the story is completely feasible in theory.

This time, Lao Liu Tou actually thought of a piece with Zhang Guozhong, although he didn't know what the poisonous jade itself was in his hand, but didn't there still be a "Thousand Soul Xiao" sealed inside, if the Zhentai and the poisonous jade were treated as tombs respectively, and the poisonous jade was also placed in the Su Qi position of the Zhentai, and the "Liberation Array" was arranged around, the power of this "Thousand Soul Dragon" plus the yin qi gathered by the "Liberation Array", even if the town was inhabited by the Daluo Immortals, it was guaranteed to be defeated.

The most important question now is how to get these two things to fight. Theoretically speaking, the "Thousand Soul Rays" sealed in the poisonous jade and the things in the town platform belong to the same kind, and only by making them think of each other as living creatures can they achieve their goals.

Needless to say, the primary methods of living charms and dummies are useless, and they can't last 1 minute in front of the "Thousand Soul Dragon" or something worse. Zhang Guozhong kept fanning the fan, and suddenly smelled a fragrance, and when he went out, he saw that Village Chief Li was burning incense and worshiping the Bodhisattva.

"Comrade Zhang, I ask for peace for you! If you accumulate virtue and do good, you will definitely turn evil into good fortune! "Village Chief Li said very sincerely. Seeing the portrait of Guanyin posted on the wall of Village Chief Li, a spark flashed in Zhang Guozhong's head.

"Bodhisattva... Buddha... Seated Buddha... Map... Porcelain... Zhao Le... Blazing Bureau... "The more Zhang Guozhong thinks about it, the more he has a way...

"I know! I see! Just like when he saw the ground in Li Village, Zhang Guozhong shouted and entered the house, and the sleeping old Liu Tou sat up with a knife, "What's wrong?" Who's rushing again...? ”

Zhang Guozhong found a big car from Xizi Village, went to Yuanba to find a stonemason, carved six small pillars, it was a set of "six fire" stone piles, "Mucuna pruriens" could not be found, so he used peach wood instead to make a wooden box, red nitrate did not have, so he used cinnabar, got these things, and made a foolproof plan with Lao Liu Tou, after eating and drinking, Chen Sanlai brought it to "Persimmon Ridge".

"Persimmon Ridge" is a small mountain, the terrain is extremely dangerous, the old Liu Tou took a look here, even the strange road, this is the position of Zhengyang in the mountain, and according to the record on the map, "Kun Funeral Terrace" is on the ridge. This Zhao Sange array is too incredible, theoretically speaking, the nine platforms should be placed in the yin position in the mountains, and this Zhengyang town platform does not know which way the gods are guarding. But when the three of them entered the "Kun Funeral Terrace", they were completely stupid, what kind of town is this? Obviously it is an ancient battlefield, full of bones, broken swords, and I don't know what the origin of the people on both sides is, basically none of the corpses are complete, either headless or missing arms and legs, and they are all wearing Ming Dynasty-style armor, like the regular army of the imperial court. And the base of this town platform is also as empty as the first two platforms.

Qin Ge was depressed again, and Zhang Guozhong persuaded him to reluctantly cheer up and came to the next "True Sendai".

"True Sendai" and "Star Sucking Terrace" are the same, build in a karst cave, only less than 5 miles away from "Kun Funeral Terrace", are the two nearest town platforms, Lao Liu Tou stepped into the sky, the yellow flag did not move, then entered from a thin hole, the more spacious it became, but the deeper it went, the more wrong it was, only to see that there were ancient people on both sides of the cave from time to time who were embedded in the wall. Due to the humid environment of the cave and the strong yin qi, these people are not very seriously decayed. But the strangest thing is that the corpses in the troughs on several walls are seriously decomposed, and the iron bars are also broken, and the corpses lie on their sides in the troughs, as if they have been dragged out.

"Martyrdom..."Old Liu Tou pulled out his dagger, "Why did you still have this thing in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Martyrdom is a kind of soul method, which is said to have originated in the Sui Dynasty, although it is powerful, but because its engineering quantity is no less than that of the repair mechanism, few people use this method to guard the tomb, and it is only a flash in the pan in the application record of the soul method.

The method of martyrdom is to chisel out the wall one by one human-shaped grooves, and then tie up the living people and insert them into the grooves, the grooves are one size smaller than the people embedded in them, so it is very painful for people to be embedded alive. And these people who died of squeezing and starvation are commonly known as "Khotanese ghosts", and they are one of the most difficult evil ghosts.

"It's weird..."Zhang Guozhong clenched the dragon scales, "Several other towns and platforms were all killed on the spot, why did this town become a time-consuming and laborious prisoner?" ”

"Master Qin, don't worry..."Old Liu Tou said, "It seems that no one has been to this town... Huang Qizi doesn't move, I don't know what it means, maybe it's okay if I don't touch the town, right...? ”

Qin Ge was also happy and nervous, and Lao Liu Tou asked Village Chief Li to go to Yuanba Town to borrow the butcher's pig-killing knife, although it was funny, it was really much more effective than his pistol.

The passage is about 50 meters long, there are thirty or forty prisoners on both sides, Lao Liu Tou is also the more he walks, the weaker his legs and stomach, a "thousand soul Xiao" is still so difficult, there are dozens of prisoners in this yin place, if they all become "Khotanese ghosts", I am afraid that the ancestor will have to admit it when he comes.

The strength of the corridor is a small stone room of only 30 square meters, which must have been a huge natural cave before, but the walls were artificially built all around, and Lao Liu Tou knocked on the stone wall with a dagger, which seemed to be very thick.

The town pedestal of the stone chamber is very obvious, just in the middle of the stone chamber, Qin Ge shone on the town platform with a wave of his flashlight, only to see that the platform was empty, and there was nothing.

"Master Qin, don't worry, let's go to the next one..."Old Liu Tou was also a little embarrassed, although this Qin Ge is annoying, it is not good to always hit others.

"This..."Qin Ge didn't seem to be in a hurry, but squatted down and carefully observed the town. Zhang Zhangjiao, can you show me your piece of jade? ”

Zhang Guozhong was puzzled, but he didn't dare to attack Qin Ge at the moment, so he had to carefully hand the box containing the poisonous jade to Qin Ge, snapped Qin Ge opened the lid of the box, carefully looked at the appearance of the poisonous jade, and then looked at the base of the town platform, and then took out the poisonous jade and wanted to put it on the town platform.

"Stop !!" Lao Liu's face turned white, "Now put this on the town platform, are you tired of you?" Qin Ge was also stunned at the moment, he was too involved just now, how could he have such a rudimentary idea? But...

"Zhang Zhangjiao, this seems to be the real town platform where this piece of jade is placed, you see..."

Following Qin Ge's flashlight, Zhang Guozhong did find that a notch had been carved out of the pedestal of the stone town, which was very consistent with the side thickness of this piece of poisonous jade, if the poisonous jade was really a town, it should be inserted in this notch vertically.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a snap outside the cave, like the sound of something snapping.

Lao Liu Tou immediately took out the compass, only to see the pointer pounding, and from time to time there was a large area of offset.

"The surname is Qin!!" Old Liu Tou couldn't help it, "Look at the good things you did!" "Shine a flashlight on the passage, and in the pillar of light, there seem to be figures in twos and threes.

"Quick! Position! Old Liu Tou shouted, with the experience of the star sucking platform, in this kind of yin place, the killing blade is useless. The only hope at the moment is the pre-planned plan of "fighting poison with poison".

"No! It's too late! "That method was originally used to break the town platform, if the town platform is fixed, the "Liberation Array" here will have enough time to pull out the yin qi from the ground, but at this moment, the figure in the distance is obviously moving, the "Liberation Array" has no time to inhale the yin qi, the enemy's position will change, and it will not work at all.

Zhang Guozhong clenched the dragon scales, trotted a few steps to the mouth of the stone corridor, picked up a small pebble, and threw it at the figure not far away.

"Solid (Maoshan teaches jargon, the evil ghost that rushes to the body is called a hollow, and the living corpse is called a solid one)...!" Zhang Guozhong looked around the surroundings and said, "Damn, senior brother, what should I do!?" "I saw a small cave of about 30 square meters, surrounded by stone walls straight up and down, let alone running, there was no place to hide.
