According to Cheng Hai's instructions, I fumbled and pushed the lid of the coffin open. There are too many coffins here, there are various models, there are wooden coffins, sarcophagi, and there is actually a metal coffin, I don't know what material is used. There are those with coffins and those without coffins, and the oldest is said to date back to the Qin Dynasty.

Pushing open the lid of more than a dozen coffins, I was so tired that I couldn't breathe, and I really couldn't push it. Cheng Hai stopped: "I have some opinions, let's take a closer look." ”

Huang Xiaotian and I urged him to speak quickly.

Cheng Haidao: "Have you found it, the costumes in these coffins are all from different periods, one coffin is a period, from the Qin Dynasty to the more modern metal coffins, and there is no duplicate of the costumes in any two coffins." ”

"Well, tell me your reasoning." Huang Xiaotian asked.

Cheng Haidao: "Judging from this phenomenon, there is only one person who cultivates the autopsy of the woman here in a period, and it is not several people who cultivate together. ”

"I don't think that means much." Huang Xiaotian said.

Cheng Hai said: "Not necessarily, in fact, if you think about it, there is a lot of mystery here." If there was a woman in the Qin Dynasty, she was the first generation of autopsy immortals, and she came here to enter the coffin for autopsy, then how did the second-generation autopsy immortal cultivators who were behind her know about this place? And how did you get the secret art inheritance of the Autopsy Immortal? ”

Huang Xiaotian said: "This explanation is very simple, if there is such a sect that specializes in practicing autopsy, the sect stipulates that women are not passed on to men, and it is a single lineage. The masters of the previous generation of cultivators will tell the next generation of apprentices that there is such a Shenfu Cave, and after you have completed your studies, you can come to this cave, prepare your own coffin, bury the corpse here, and then you can become an immortal. And then, from generation to generation. ”

As he spoke, Huang Xiaotian stopped talking, he felt that there was a big problem in this conjecture.

Cheng Hai said: "Little Golden Boy, what do you think of Sect Leader Huang's inference? ”

"There's a loophole," I said, "and if nothing else, I'll talk about my first instinct of impossibility." If it is a single line, like a pearl necklace, one by one, forming this unique sect, then the problem comes, as long as there is a problem in one of the links, then this sect will be destroyed and can no longer be passed on. The human heart is not ancient, who can guarantee that every woman in the sect has no other ideas, just dedicated to preaching. This kind of transmission has been from the Qin Dynasty to modern times, up and down for more than 2,000 years, and if you think about it carefully, you feel that it is unlikely. ”

"Perhaps," Huang Xiaotian said, "This kind of autopsy secret technique is too attractive, once you learn it, it is difficult to be distracted, and you want to learn it with one mind, and then the autopsy will leave." ”

"Even so," I said, "there is a good saying, the tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop." Even if you don't have any other thoughts and are dedicated to the Tao, but there are still three calamities and eight tribulations in the world, how can you ensure that you can survive all the calamities? It may be possible for one or two people to succeed, and it is barely reasonable to say that three or five successes are possible, but this place is not to mention dozens or hundreds of coffins, everyone can successfully autopsy and achieve great cultivation, how is this possible? The odds of this are much more or less. ”

Cheng Haidao: "And there is a problem that you didn't pay attention to." How did these women bring the coffin in. ”

I didn't understand, "How do you say that?" ”

Cheng Hai said: "Just now we guessed that after the disciples in this sect have completed their studies, they will come to the cave to dissect the autopsy, and there are so many coffins on the scene, and they will occupy one by one. How did these coffins come about? When they were about to enter the cave to dissect the autopsy, they brought it themselves? Or whatever. ”

"These female disciples can hire someone to bring them in." Huang Xiaotian said.

Cheng Haidao: "Sect Master Huang, you are raising the bar." This is the Cave of the Divine Mansion, we are still dead when we come in, how did the laborers who carried the coffin come in and how did they get out? ”

"Maybe there's another secret passage." Huang Xiaotian said.

Cheng Hai said: "Even if they entered here from somewhere else, such a big thing, and a tradition that has lasted for so many years, why is it kept secret, no one has ever talked about it, and I haven't seen any records in the books?" Where did these coffin-carrying laborers go? ”

Huang Xiaotian smiled: "Maybe let these women be killed!" ”

I gasped, and they were going back and forth on conjectures, but I felt it made sense logically. For some reason, I got goosebumps when they said I was scared.

Cheng Haidao: "There are too many illogical and unreasonable places here. I have an idea, but it's a little weird. ”

"Say it. Anyway, it's all speculation, so I guessed big. Huang Xiaotian said.

Cheng Hai thought for a while and said, "I think these coffins have actually existed here for a long time. ”

"What do you mean?" I hurriedly asked.

Cheng Hai said: "These coffins were not brought in later, perhaps as early as the first generation of autopsy fairy cultivators in the Qin Dynasty, all the coffins were prepared here!" ”

I gasped and hurriedly said, "Then how do you explain it, the types and styles of coffins here are different, and some of them are relatively modern, obviously not ancient styles." ”

"The bodies in all the coffins here may be the same person." Cheng Hai said that he was speechless and endless.

I didn't understand it, but I thought it was a pretty awesome conjecture.

"Kind of interesting, you go on." Huang Xiaotian listened with relish.

Cheng Hai said: "This place is called the Eight Immortals Cave, and all that remains are relics related to the Eight Immortals. If this place is not an exception, it should be left by He Xiangu. All the autopsy immortals in the coffins may be He Xiangu. ”

"I don't understand." My throat moved.

Cheng Hai said: "The true immortal's Taoism and cultivation are extraordinary, and the layman can imagine that I was a little boy of the third master Hu in my previous life, and I have heard a little. True immortals are ranked after the immortal class, and they are not dead in the sky, they have to transform into the world from time to time and practice through tribulations. Cultivating this thing is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you can't live by your old book. Of course, the cultivation of true immortals is different from ordinary people, they can really be in the sky, and they can conjure up their own split body in the human world. Splits do not have the power of the true immortal body, and what they see and hear in the world will be confirmed in the cultivation of the body. ”

He paused and added: "When I was a child in my previous life, I once followed Master Hu San and saw the split of Fuxian Bodhisattva in the world. ”

"What is the identity of the split in the human world?" Huang Xiaotian asked.

Cheng Hai smiled bitterly: "You definitely can't guess." The split of Fuxian Bodhisattva is a woman, who is the top brand in a large entertainment center in the northeast, and the overnight fee for one night is more than 10,000 yuan. ”

I gasped: "Such a big Bodhisattva split is actually a young lady?" ”

Cheng Hai said: "This split of Fuxian Bodhisattva is a girl in her early twenties who graduated from the Conservatory of Music, especially good at singing and playing the guqin, with an excellent temperament, and being the top brand in the entertainment center, which is more than enough, and there are a lot of benefactors behind the buttocks." At that time, after I visited her with Mrs. Hu, I didn't understand what the truth was, why would such a big bodhisattva do things to people in the world? According to my thoughts, bodhisattvas can go to the temple when they practice. Master Hu told me that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will take on various forms and manifest various bodies in order to save all sentient beings in the three worlds and the six realms. What is a bodhisattva, to be able to incarnate with the like, into the cocoon of life and death, and humble body. This is all because of my Buddha's compassion and self-denial. ”

I was a little shocked, speechless, and with an emotion that I couldn't describe.

Huang Xiaotian said: "Sect Master Cheng, do you mean that the women who are autopsied here are all separated from He Xiangu?" ”

Cheng Hai said "um": "It's not bad at all." This so-called sect has been passed down for thousands of years, from the Qin Dynasty to the present, in fact, it has been passed down from one person to the next, and in the final analysis, there is only one person. He Xiangu's first generation of split corpses will be dissected into immortals, and they will be confirmed by the Tao and recover the body. Then the second generation of splits appeared, continued to wander the world, felt the red dust, and finally ended himself with a autopsy and returned to the body. In this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and she is the only one who knows the method of autopsy. ”

I said, "Can you understand it like this, He Xiangu uses this way to recycle her own split?" ”

"The relationship between the ontology and the split of the true immortal is extremely complicated, and it has to be cultivated to be a real person," Cheng Haidao: "It's hard to say it now, and it's hard for me to get a glimpse of its subtlety, so it's okay for you to understand it like this." ”

Huang Xiaotian said: "These coffins are easy to explain, they were all arranged by He Xiangu herself." She is a true immortal, and she has deduced the events of modern times as early as 2,000 years ago, and made arrangements early. ”

I groped for the coffins, walked slowly forward, sighed in my heart, and suddenly an idea popped into me. I said, "Two sect masters, if the division from generation to generation is passed down, what era do you say the last generation will pass on. ”

Huang Xiaotian said: "You continue to walk forward, these coffins are arranged according to the age, you go to the last mouth and take a look." ”

With my eyes closed, I fumbled for a long time until I finally reached the last coffin. I took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the lid of the coffin, only to hear Huang Xiaotian's "huh".

I hurriedly asked what was wrong. Huang Xiaotian said, "It's empty inside. ”

I fumbled and pushed open the lid of the penultimate coffin, and it was still empty. In this way, I checked the coffin upside down, and kept checking the tenth coffin, and Huang Xiaotian shouted: "There is something." ”

"What is it?" I asked.

Huang Xiaotian said: "There are a few modern women's clothes, dresses or something, it seems that this is the last generation of splits that have been autopsied, and the generation of splits behind her should still be alive in the world." ”

My heart was pounding.

Huang Xiaotian said, "Hey, there is an ID card in it, you can take it out and take a look." ”

I relied on my courage to reach in, touched it for a long time, and sure enough, I found a hard card, Huang Xiaotian said: "There is a name on the ID card, called Zhang Lan...... Sect Leader Cheng, you don't look like a person in the photo above. ”

"Like Aunt Mei!" Cheng Hai and Huang Xiaotian named one person at the same time.

"The woman who was autopsied should be ......" I was cold all over my body, goosebumps were up, and the woman who was autopsied should be Aunt Mei's missing sister, Aunt Lan!

Lan Gu turned out to be the last generation of He Xiangu's autopsy so far.
