The fourth master felt strange in his heart, but he didn't think about it deeply. The three of them were busy picking up the artifacts on the ground, when the warlords were fighting and the Central Plains was in chaos, and the cultural and antiques could not be sold for a price, only real money and silver were the most sought-after. Therefore the three of them were in the tomb, and they took nothing but gold and silver vessels, and nothing else. The three of them were all extremely sophisticated experts, so they did not make much effort to scavenge all the gold and silver artifacts in the tomb, leaving only a large coffin in the tomb that had not been opened.

The three of them put all the gold and silver into a bamboo basket, and Li Dazui outside carried it, back and forth, and it took a total of ten trips to transport it clean!

Sai Jingang looked at the fourth master and said, "Brother, the rest is your life!" ”。 The fourth master walked to the front of the coffin, glanced at the coffin, and then said to Sai Jingang: "Turn off the light, I'm going to open the coffin!" ”。 The two stood in front of the coffin, blew out the torches as they said, and the fourth master instantly became ...... darkness in front of him!

The fourth master is used to doing this line, so he does not feel afraid, he commanded Sai King Kong and the monkey to open the coffin lid, and then take out a piece of red rope from the body, the red rope is soaked in cinnabar and black dog blood, the smell is pungent, can avoid evil worship, the fourth master knows that the old corpse in the coffin, most of the head is south and feet are north, so he first touched the south end of the coffin, and this touch really touched the head of the coffin owner, and then the cheeks and neck······ The fourth master touched it, and he couldn't help but secretly furious in his heart, because he had never touched such a weird corpse! In this kind of ancient tomb, the old corpses in the coffin are either completely wiped out and turned into dry bones, or rotten into mud and turned into nothing...... And under the hands of the fourth master, this coffin owner is neatly dressed and undressed, and his skin and flesh are not rotten, but he is like a dead man who has just been buried······!

Although the fourth master was afraid, he didn't retract his hand, thinking to himself: "There must be a treasure on this dead corpse, otherwise how can we keep his body intact?" So, the fourth master tied the neck of the tomb owner with a red rope, lay on the tomb owner's body, put his neck into the red rope, and pushed his neck up, and the tomb owner was hung up by the fourth master! At the same time, the fourth master's hands touched the dead corpse, and the fourth master immediately felt that something was wrong, because the clothes of the old corpse in the coffin had long been rotten like mud, but the clothes of the corpse under the fourth master were as smooth as new, and what was even worse was that the fourth master actually felt that the dead corpse was wearing a cotton robe!

You must know that this cotton was introduced into China before and after the Ming Dynasty, but the ancient tomb that the four masters stole was a Han tomb, and there was a difference of nearly 1,000 years!

On the head of the fourth master, he was immediately frightened and sweated, and thought: "This tomb where water has been poured is really ......!" ”。 Before the fourth master could figure it out, the dead body under him suddenly moved his arm and hugged the fourth master's head at once, the fourth master was shocked, and he couldn't care about being afraid, so he turned over and rolled off the coffin.

The old corpse was dragged by the fourth master and pulled out of the coffin!

Sai Jingang and Monkey Lingzi heard the strange noise and hurriedly asked the fourth master what was going on! The fourth master grabbed the neck of the dead corpse and told them to light the torches quickly. The two hurriedly lit torches and shone on the ground, only to see the fourth master and a person rolling on the ground, fighting ......!

Sai Jingang didn't see it clearly, and asked the fourth master: "Hei Laosi, who are you fighting with?" ”。 The fourth master hurriedly said: "Come and help!" This guy is not a living ......! ”。 When Sai King Kong and the monkey boy heard this, they were taken aback, and hurriedly rushed forward, pressed the man, and tied it with three layers of rope and three layers of rope! After the man was subdued by the three of them, he immediately stopped moving, and his eyes, nose, and ears were dripping black blood...... outward!

Sai Jingang was bold and strong, and he carefully shone the tied man with a torch and said, "Black Fourth, this person has corpse spots on his body!" It seems that he has been dead for some days......! ”。 The fourth master looked at the man's appearance and dressed, and guessed that it was one of the four people who came in front, so he said to Sai Jingang: "There are still three who haven't shown up!" ”。 Sai Jingang smiled, took out a handful of fire guns from behind his waist and said, "There are thirty around, and Lao Tzu is not afraid of him!" ”。 The monkey also pulled out a machete and carried it in his hand! It turns out that those who do sand and upside down buckets, dealing with coffins and dead bodies all day long, are most likely to encounter evil things, and in order to protect their lives, they usually take the guys with them!

When the fourth master saw that King Kong and them showed their guys, he didn't have anything to care about! took a torch and shone it into the coffin, and sure enough, there was another person below! The fourth master took a look, the man was brightly dressed, and knew that this was not the main master, it should be the second of the four.

The three of them moved the man out of the coffin, and then looked at the corpse below, although the three of them were experts, but this kind of strange and strange thing was the first time they had seen it, and they couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts, and the three of them lifted out the four dead bodies in the coffin one by one and placed them on the ground.

Looking back at the coffin, only the corpse of the coffin owner was missing, and there was only a strangely shaped eight-sided ghost-headed copper bottle under the coffin, the mouth of the copper bottle was open, and I didn't know what it was for!

The three of them saw that there was no expected gold and silver treasure in the coffin, and they were disappointed, and just about to turn around and leave, they saw four dead bodies behind them suddenly stand up together! The three of them were frightened, turned around and wanted to escape, but were forced to the corner by the dead corpse, the fourth master was bare-handed, could not match, Sai King Kong raised his hand with a firecracker, the fireworks flashed, and the iron sand hit the face of the dead corpse, the dead corpse's face was blurred with flesh and blood, and the three dead corpses were screaming in unison, and the sound was like a cracked silk!

Seeing this situation, the three of them were all frightened, and ran outside the coffin, the four corpses were reluctant, and then chased closely, in a panic, the monkey fell behind, he saw a corpse following behind him, stretched out his hand to his back to grab, the monkey turned his heart horizontally, turned around and slashed at the head of the dead corpse, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", the head of the dead corpse was split in half by the monkey, red blood, white brain, sprayed the monkey head and body!

Sai King Kong loaded another gun with gunpowder at this time, turned around and put a gun on the other dead body, and without waiting to see clearly, he shouted at the monkey boy: "Run...... run!" Taking advantage of this stall, the monkey jumped on the rope and crawled out of the cave!

Sai King Kong and the fourth master blocked the dead corpse and prevented them from getting close to the rope, the fourth master had no guy in his hand, he casually touched a dead weapon on the ground and smashed it at the dead corpse! Sai Jingang's fire gun is about to be reloaded after a shot, naturally unable to stop the attack of the dead corpse, he was in a hurry, so he simply reversed the muzzle of the gun, and used the fire gun as a hammer.

Those dead corpses were smashed by knives and hammers, but they did not stop, they rushed to their own devices, the fourth master and Sai King Kong saw that the dead corpses were still immortal without heads, they were all surprised, they didn't dare to fight, they whistled, climbed the rope, and escaped from the thief hole!

When the fourth master arrived outside the cave, he hurriedly cut the rope and joined forces with everyone to block the thief hole. I told Li Dazuier about the situation in the tomb again, and Li Dazuier was also quite stunned, the four of them didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they went out of Qinling Mountains overnight, and said goodbye and broke up at the bottom of the mountain!

After the fourth master went home, he was seriously ill, his body was broken and rotten, the medicine stone could not be treated, and he was sick for more than a month, only to end up with a pinned bone, and he saw that time was running out! Suddenly, under the peach tree outside the wall, the mouth recited the road number, and my fourth grandmother begged for water to drink, my fourth grandmother saw the old way, fairy wind bones, crane hair and childish face, quite like a bit of Taoism! There is a little activity in my heart at the moment. The fourth grandmother hurriedly brought cold water from the house and gave it to Lao Dao with both hands. The old man didn't say thank you, he raised his head and drank it all. The fourth grandmother waited for the old Taoist to drink the water, and then told the old Taoist about the fourth master's illness, and the old Taoist saved the fourth master's life! The old man was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to listen to the four grandmothers crying and begging, so he promised to give the fourth master a diagnosis and treatment.

Lao Dao followed the fourth grandmother to the fourth master's bed, and saw that the fourth master was terminally ill, unable to swallow, unable to speak, Lao Dao diagnosed the pulse, and asked the fourth grandmother: "What does the patient do for a living?" The four grandmothers wanted to cover up, and the old Taoist said: "The donor should make a hole through the wall and dig the grave!" ”。 The fourth grandmother was shocked when she heard this, knelt on the ground, and begged the old man not to make a noise! The old Taoist smiled and said: "I am an outsider, and I am in charge of worldly things? Donor, please get up! ”。 The fourth grandmother got up and said a blessing, and said to the old Tao: "Daoist chief god, how do you know that my husband is making a living?" ”。 Lao Dao smiled slightly and said, "This is not difficult!" I saw that the patient's eyes were red, which must have been caused by the fumigation of corpse poison, and this alone made me know that the patient was by no means very ......! ”。 The fourth mother bowed and kowtowed again, and was deeply impressed.

The old man stroked his hair and said to the fourth grandmother, the fourth master's disease, yin and evil into the bones, I am afraid it will be difficult to cure, there is only one way, or you can try! After speaking, he wrote down the prescription on the paper, handed it to the four grandmothers, and the four grandmothers took the prescription, bowed their heads, and when they looked up again, the old way had already disappeared and did not know what to ······do!

The fourth mother hurriedly spread the paper and took a closer look, only to see that the paper read: "One or two ashes at the bottom of the pot, half a penny of dansha, half a cup of rain at noon on the summer solstice, and ten pills, divided into ten times, and sent to ······ with children's urine at noon every day!" After reading the prescription, the fourth grandmother thought, "These few flavors of medicine can save people?" Lao Dao is probably a liar......! But after thinking about it, I don't feel like it, carefully look at the prescription, only the rain at noon on the summer solstice doesn't know where to change! The fourth mother secretly pinched her fingers and calculated, it was only two days before the summer solstice, and the fourth mother recited Amitabha Buddha in her heart, and the Buddha blessed!

The fourth grandmother prepared all other things first, and then used ginseng soup to hang the fourth master's breath of vitality, and waited for the summer solstice! Coincidentally, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun was shining brightly, and there was no trace of rain, and the four grandmothers saw that the will of heaven was decisive, and they couldn't help but be sad and angry, and scolded the sky! At noon, a dark cloud floated from the western sky, and when it reached the top of his head, there was a thunderclap, and it was pouring rain......!

The fourth grandmother was overjoyed, hurriedly took the rainwater, and made pills for the fourth master, and after taking this medicine for several days, the fourth master gradually recovered. A few days later, a friend visited the patient, saying that Li Dazuier, Sai Jingang, and Monkey Lingzi all died of a violent illness, and the fourth master was frightened inexplicably, so he washed his hands in the golden basin and never went out of the rivers and lakes again! But the bronze bottle of the eight-faced ghost head in the tomb lingered in the fourth master's mind......!

So the fourth master visited the world's famous masters, the copper bottle he saw the type of painting, one by one to them to see, began to have no clue, and no one had ever seen this kind of bottle, just when the fourth master was discouraged, he was introduced and found a famous professor, this professor is a well-educated Confucian, he recognized the origin of this bottle at a glance! The professor said to the fourth master: "This bottle is called the Eight Ghost Detention Bottle, and the eight ghost heads outside the bottle symbolize the eight great nakshatras of the heavens in Buddhism, and they are used to surround the bottle body in order to suppress the immortal spirit ...... in the bottle!" ”。

So the professor told the fourth master about the specific origin of this soul bottle, it turned out that this soul bottle itself was not a thing of the Central Plains, it was first transmitted from the Western Regions, and gradually flowed into the outside of the plug! Thinking of that outside the Sai, most of the worship of shamans, worship ghosts and gods, the ancient shaman then mixed the Western Regions Buddhism with the local primitive religion, and gradually became its own system, and finally became a kind of mysterious and vicious sect, this sect specializes in driving away gods and ghosts, poisoning living beings as a thing, and then disappeared in the long river of history on the occasion of the Jin Yuan, and there is no such sect in modern times!

The fourth master asked the professor again about the purpose of the soul locking bottle, and the professor said: "This soul bottle is not a burial tool, in essence, it is like a torture weapon......!" ”。 The fourth master was surprised: "How is this possible? How shall the punishment be used when all men are dead? ”。 The professor smiled and said: "The ancients didn't think so, they regarded death as the temporary end of a person's life in the yang world, after death, the soul will go through six reincarnations, and will eventually be reincarnated as a human again, life itself is a continuous cycle of life and death......!" ”。 The fourth master suddenly realized: "So, we people, do we really have a past life and an afterlife?" ”。 The professor said: "The ancients thought so, but whether there is such reincarnation or not, it's hard to say!" ”。 The fourth master asked the professor, "Then tell me, how did this soul bottle torture the dead?" ”。 The professor said: "This is simple, the ancient shaman adsorbed the souls of these people on the white camel hair through a secret method, and then threw the camel hair into the soul bottle, and the soul was trapped in the soul bottle, which could not be reincarnated, nor could it be reincarnated, and it could not be reincarnated in the earth, and it would suffer for many generations, and it would never end, isn't this a rare torture in the world?" ”。

Since then, the fourth master has understood the viciousness of this soul-locking bottle! Thinking of the seven people who died in the Qinling Tomb, I couldn't help but tremble and break out in a cold sweat! After bidding farewell to the professor, the fourth master buried the soul bottle in a remote place in the mountains, and rushed back to his home overnight, and never mentioned the matter of the soul bottle ......!
