Chapter 23: The Secret of the Bronze Door
I really didn't expect that this man in black was actually Fa Xiao Muyun!
He once asked me to steal the jewelry from the female corpse in the Yellow River, but later the villagers said that he was entangled by a female ghost and went crazy, ran to the Yellow River, cut his neck in half, and finally only a trace of flesh and skin was left with his head, and he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, and he did not even find the body. (For Mu Yun and I stealing the jewelry from the female corpse, see Chapter 2)
He's here!
I hugged his shoulders and said in surprise: "Mu Yun, everyone in the village said that you died, why are you here?" ”
"Hey, that's a long story!" Mu Yun lowered his head and sighed, bitter.
The pair of men and women saw that the relationship between me and Mu Yun was not ordinary, it was the water that washed the Dragon King Temple, and just now Mu Yun was shot into a hedgehog, which was a little embarrassing.
At this time, the man suddenly asked Mu Yun, "Do you know where the bronze door in the Three-Eyed Demon Cave is?" ”
Mu Yun shook his head, "I'm just a little minion, I'm in charge of chores on weekdays, and I don't know anything." ”
The man and woman rowed away.
After they left, Mu Yun said, "Qin Ming, is the person on this turtle shell your friend?" ”
I nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it's a very good friend of mine, it scared me to death just now, I thought she was sacrificed and eaten by the evil spirits!" ”
Mu Yun shrunk his shoulders and said, "She's a sacrifice, the devil doesn't dare to eat it!" ”
"Why is that? Isn't she an ordinary person? ”
"Because she has a trace of aura on her body, the evil ghost eats yin, and she is not blessed to enjoy this kind of person with aura. People eat whole grains, and ghosts eat fire, incense, and essence. For the aura, the evil spirits can't suck it. ”
"What is Reiki?" I asked.
"The aura of heaven and earth is the essence of the sun and the moon, for example, there are some things, if you absorb these essences, you will have aura, plants, trees, foxes, snakes and other things, if you want to cultivate as an adult, you must absorb these essences."
I was surprised, "You mean this girl is not human?" Is it that animals have cultivated into refinement? ”
Mu Yun denied: "I don't mean that, not only the grass and wood fox snake, many people, may also be able to absorb these essences because of fate, so that they have aura, all say that people are born with five hundred years of Taoism, but the vast majority of people in the world, a lifetime of mediocrity, greed and cunning, full of desires, there is no chance to release these five hundred years of Taoism, people who can absorb the aura, only hope to use these five hundred years of Taoism, of course, everything in the world is opposite, Qi is also divided into spiritual energy and evil energy, people with aura, The bottom of her heart is naturally pure, so this girl, no matter why she can have aura, she must not be a vicious person. ”
I see! I gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mu Yun, it's really a farewell for three days, you should be impressed!" You can't believe that in just a few months, you've learned so much here! ”
Mu Yun said: "I have nothing to do here, so I listened to some of the teachings of my predecessors and wrote them down as I like." ”
Then, he turned the mechanism and slowly lowered the turtle cover, Xiaoya was still asleep, her little face was flushed, her breathing was very steady, and she didn't seem to be hurt.
I called softly twice, but Xiaoya didn't move.
Mu Yun said: "Just now, this woman was fainted by the ecstasy incense, this incense is very powerful, and it is estimated that she will not wake up until tomorrow morning." ”
I said again, "Mu Yun, since the evil ghost can't eat her, if I don't come, what are you going to do?" Did you let her go? ”
Mu Yun shook his head and said, "No, if you don't come, I will dedicate this woman to the Three-Eyed Demon Lord." ”
According to the black and white impermanence, these three-eyed demons are the ones who guard the cave, but who are these three-eyed demons?
I threw this question to Mu Yun.
The answer he got was that he didn't know whether the three-eyed demon was a human or a ghost, a demon or a monster, or even a man or a woman.
I only know that this three-eyed demon is the apprentice of Zhang Yu, a Taoist priest of Maoshan in the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhang Yu entered Maoshan at the age of 30 as a Taoist priest, buried the crown sword at the age of 60, studied under Zhao Mengfu, is a generation of calligraphy and painting masters, the mural on the rock wall, the original work is Zhang Yu. The Three-Eyed Demon drove the evil spirits to carve it according to his master's original painting, and it took three years to complete.
It seems that Bai Wuchang really has two moments, and the inference about the mural just now is correct, saying that it was done by Zhang Yu!
At this time, I suddenly remembered a terrible question, "Mu Yun, are you a human or a ghost now?" ”
He smiled faintly, his eyes sparkling, and pointed to the arrow on his body, as if he had already given the answer.
"Are you a ghost?!" I wasn't scared, but I was amazed.
Mu Yun shook his head and said, "No, it's better for me not to tell you, otherwise you may be afraid." ”
Since Mu Yun said so, I won't ask any more. It seems that Mu Yun should be more terrifying than a ghost now.
Next, Mu Yun told the truth about cutting his neck and killing himself that day.
After he stole the jewelry worn by the female corpse, he went to the town early the next morning to sell jewelry, and happened to meet my master Hou Hai, and then the master said that Mu Yunyintang was black, and his neck was red, and he was afraid that there would be a big disaster, because the prisoners who were beheaded in ancient times often showed this state, and he was worried that Mu Yun's head would not be protected, so out of benevolence, he gave him a head talisman.
said that this talisman head guard may be able to help him survive this catastrophe, of course, it depends on the will of heaven.
This talisman is similar to the heart talisman that Jiang Ziya gave to Bigan, who was framed by the demon fox Daji and forced to gouge out his heart, but he did not die immediately. Later, when Bigan went out of the noon gate, he met an old woman who sold heartless vegetables, so he asked: What if the vegetables have no heart to live, what about people without hearts? The old woman said, "If you don't have a heart, you will die." Bigan screamed and vomited blood and died.
After Mu Yun came back from selling jewelry, he was entangled by the female corpse's soul, and then, the female ghost controlled him to commit suicide with a knife and threw himself into the water to die.
In fact, at that time, the neck was cut in half, and ordinary people died a long time ago, but because of the blessing of my master's head talisman, it was out of a half-dead state, that is, the soul and body were separated.
But this talisman can only delay the time of death, and sooner or later you will die.
When he was floating in the water, he was rescued by this three-eyed demon and brought here to guard the treasure.
But now he can't see the sun, only out of the darkness. Once you see the sun, you will be wiped out, and your form and spirit will be destroyed.
I see.
At this time, I suddenly thought of a question, "Mu Yun, the Three-Eyed Demon asked you to guard the treasure here, so you privately accepted the sacrifices of the living, and then released the water, and let these people steal the treasure, doesn't it mean that the guards have stolen themselves, can you explain to the Three-Eyed Demon?" ”
Mu Yun's eyes lit up, and he smiled coldly, "Those people really think they can steal the treasure?" If it can be stolen, where will the thousands of human heads and countless ghosts in this cave come from? The treasure inside the rock wall is just a carefully disguised killing room, and anyone who enters it will never come out alive! ”
"Ahh I was shocked and said, "Mu Yun, my master is still inside!" What to do with him! ”
Mu Yun's expression was very calm, and he wasn't too flustered, "Your master is an exception, he can come out." ”
I wondered, "Didn't you say that whoever goes in will never come out alive?" My master is also a human being, so why is he exceptional? ”
"Your master, he's not ......" Speaking of this, he paused suddenly, and instead just emphasized that my master is absolutely fine, so that I can rest assured!
Could it be that Mu Yun wants to say that my master is not human? But since he stopped abruptly on the subject, I couldn't get an answer.
Mu Yun said: "The death of these people here is all due to their greed!" People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and they deserve this end! ”
"Mu Yun, do you know where the treasure is?"
He smiled, "Of course I know, except for the Three-Eyed Demon here, I am the head, and the treasure is behind the bronze gate." ”
I nodded.
It seems that Mu Yun is still mixing well here, he has a very high status, and he is also very valued by the Three-Eyed Demon.
At this moment, a human head suddenly appeared from the nearby water, and then the body jumped out of the water, stood on a thick fishbone nearby, and laughed: "I was almost deceived by you just now!" Luckily, I kept a hand! Lie to me that you're a minion! ”
This man is the man just now!
The man then shouted into the darkness: "Cong Xuan, come out, I guessed right, this guy really lied to us just now, he knows where the bronze gate of the treasure hiding place is!" ”
Immediately, the woman named Cong Xuan also rushed out of the darkness in a small boat!
The man suddenly pulled out a very special shining arrow, put it on the bowstring, pulled it hard, the bow was like a full moon, and then, aiming at Mu Yun's head, he said sharply: "You hurry up and take us to find the bronze gate, we can spare you from dying!" Otherwise, as soon as this Xuanhuang arrow comes out, you will be wiped out! ”
I hurriedly opened my arms in front of Mu Yun and said to the man, "He's my friend!" ”
The man glared and shouted, "How can a deaf person be a friend!" Man dies as a ghost, ghost dies as a deaf, he is already a person who has died twice, and now he is not even a ghost! Even if you used to be friends, you don't now! Get out of the way! ”
I argued, "He's my friend, even if he dies 800 times!" ”
Seeing that I didn't let me, the man directly threatened in a cold tone: "If you don't let me, I will wear you into meat skewers with this arrow!" Then he continued to pressure Mu Yun and threatened: "Hurry up and take us to find the bronze gate, we can spare you from dying!" ”
This Mu Yun didn't panic, but twisted his ass with a smile and said provocatively: "You shoot, you shoot, if you have the guts, you will shoot me." ”
What is the situation, could it be that Mu Yun is not afraid of the man's Xuanhuang arrow at all?
But looking at the man's tone, it seems that Cheng Zhu is in his chest, Mu Yun will definitely not be able to resist this arrow, and Mu Yun is still so arrogant, isn't this looking for death?
The man may have been provoked and angry by Mu Yun, and with a direct "sigh", he shot this shining Xuanhuang arrow!
Between the lightning and flint, Mu Yun moved the mechanism, and the big turtle shell suddenly fell, covering the two of us inside, and we could only hear a "bang" outside! It's like thunder in your ears.
Apparently it was the Xuanhuang arrow that shot at the turtle's shell! The violent impact even seemed to shake the big turtle shell twice, but then there were two "clanging" sounds, it should be that the Xuanhuang arrow broke into two pieces due to the force of the collision and landed on the turtle shell!
I never expected that Mu Yun deliberately provoked the man just now, just to use this turtle shell to block the Xuanhuang arrow!
Mu Yun smiled at me and said, "Qin Ming, this turtle shell is a nine-thousand-year-old armor in the East China Sea, as strong as King Kong, invulnerable!" How can a mere Xuanhuang arrow be helpless! This turtle shell weighs 20,000 catties, as long as we hide in this turtle shell, let them have great skills, we can't help it! ”
I also admired Qin Ming's wit, not only did he escape the catastrophe, but also let the man break a precious Xuanhuang arrow, which was really a double win.
When the two of them were high-fived and rejoiced, I suddenly became worried again, because although Mu Yun and I were in the turtle shell and there was no danger for the time being, Xiao Ya was outside the turtle shell! What if that man threatens us with Xiao Ya as a hostage?
Sure enough, I only heard a sinister laugh coming from outside the turtle shell, "Qin Ming Muyun inside, listen, if you are a shrinking turtle inside, I will kill this woman outside!" ”
What can I do?
At this time, Mu Yun said, "Qin Ming, is this woman important to you?" If it doesn't matter, we hide in it and don't go out, and the woman will kill or take them with them. ”
I hurriedly said, "Important, very important!" ”
Mu Yun stared at me and said slowly: "Qin Ming, now once we open the turtle shell, I only have two choices, one is to take them to the bronze gate of the treasure hiding place, and the other is to swear to the death and let them be wiped out by the Xuanhuang Arrow." There was no third way to go, but I didn't want to die, and I didn't want to take them to the Bronze Gate. ”
I understand Mu Yun's hardships and his difficulties, but Xiaoya is too important to me!
I'm really in a dilemma, I can't let Mu Yun exchange his life for his life, "Mu Yun, do you know the origin of the pair of men and women outside?" How did they know that the Bronze Gate was the real treasure trodge? Why didn't those treasure-holders just now know? ”
Mu Yun explained: "Those who know that the Bronze Gate is a treasure place are estimated to be the only people from the Five Holy Families of the Yellow River, that is to say, these two people are either one of the Five Holy Families of the Yellow River, or they are people who have a close relationship with the Five Holy Families of the Yellow River. Otherwise, outsiders will not know! ”
Suddenly, Mu Yun suddenly said mysteriously: "Qin Ming, I learned a secret of your Qin family here from the Three-Eyed Demon!" "What secret?" I was surprised.
"Your Qin family is actually one of the Five Saints of the Yellow River!"
The pair of men and women just now also said that our Qin family is one of the five saints of the Yellow River, or the water ghosts of the Yellow River, but it was only mentioned slightly, and it was not thoroughly explained.
"Mu Yun, tell me carefully, what is going on with the Five Saints of the Yellow River? What is the situation of our Qin family's saint? ”
Your home is a vein of the Yellow River water ghosts!
"What's going on with this Yellow River water ghost? My father never mentioned it to me. ”
Mu Yun said with a hint of envy: "You Yellow River water ghosts are in the same vein, but it's amazing!" ”
At this moment, the man outside said sharply and threateningly: "You two don't play with me to hide cats!" I'll count to five, and if you don't come out again, don't blame me for being ruthless and falling with a knife! ”
"One, two...... "This man has begun the countdown to death!"
Oh, that's a good thing!
