Senior Brother Zhuang said to us while driving the car: "This corpse pill you got last time is really likely to be the immortal pill that the First Emperor was looking for. I heard from a few friends from the Food and Drug Administration that this corpse pill does have the medicinal effect of activating cells, nourishing blood and nourishing the body, and there are no side effects. But this thing doesn't make people immortal. ”

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Zhuang paused, and then said: "Di Baoquan and they have already interrogated that Onmyoji, and the evil corpse in northern Shaanxi was raised by him and an old Onmyoji who has passed away. The purpose of raising a corpse is to cultivate this corpse pill. And we've investigated, Ashiya Kura-Kama is an outcast of the Harima lineage, and he was expelled from the sect many years ago for raising corpses. As for the goddess Ma, she was the goddess of the Xiangxi generation in her early years, and she was also driven out of Xiangxi because of the violation of the precepts, this woman doesn't know where she got part of the inheritance of the corpse chaser, only that she knew Ashiya Cang Kale thirty years ago, and later became the concubine of Lu Wu Cang Kama. ”

My master took the test sheet, nodded, and said with some concern: "The Onmyoji has been raising corpses in northern Shaanxi for so many years, and the corpse keepers have not found a single lineage?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang was still holding the steering wheel in his hand, and said without looking back: "They have already found out, but it's not good to meddle in it, the geographical location of that village is relatively special, it is on the boundary between the corpse keeper and Baiwu Mountain, the village entrance to the west belongs to the territory of the corpse keeper, and the ancestral house of Wang Er Mazi belongs to Baiwu Mountain." Over the years, Di Baoquan and the others have also wanted to attack Ashiya Cang Sickle many times, but this onmyoji is very proficient, and he and Ma Shenpo have never left the east mountain of the village for so many years. The corpse keeper wants to deal with them, but he can't reach it. ”

At this time, Liang Houzai asked on the side: "Doesn't Baiwushan know about the Ashiya Cang sickle raising corpses?" ”

"I should know," Senior Brother Zhuang responded, "But Baiwu Mountain has also been very chaotic for more than a hundred years, and he has no time to take care of himself, maybe he doesn't have the energy to take care of the affairs of Ashiya Cang. But there is also a possibility, that is, the Ashiya Cang Kale raised the corpse, which was tacitly approved by Baiwu Mountain, and I asked people to check the account flow of the Lu Wu Cang Kala, at the end of last year and the middle of this year, he had remitted two sums of money to Zhao Dekai, although the amount was not large, but it can be determined that there are some ulterior connections between this Lu Wu Cang Kale and Zhao Dekai. ”

The master frowned, sighed, and said, "What does this Zhao Dekai want to do, first he was engaged in a sect and deceived believers of their money, and now he is involved with the Onmyoji. ”

Senior Brother Zhuang said: "During this time, we have investigated Zhao Dekai, this guy has been trying his best to use various means to collect money recently, but it is still unclear what he is doing with so much money. In addition, the old master already knew about Yan Xiaotian's partnership with Jisoul Village, but he did not object. ”

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Zhuang glanced at me in the rearview mirror, and then continued: "I have discussed the matter of Baiwu Mountain with Senior Brother Feng before, and I feel that if you want Yan Xiaotian to make the climate, it is necessary to pull Zhao Dekai off the horse, and Senior Brother Feng and I basically have the same opinion. ”

I said, "Zhao Dekai's problem must be dealt with, but we can't be in a hurry yet." Looking at it now, Zhao Dekai is doing a lot outside, and Baiwu Mountain is also his people. To deal with him, you must wait for Yan Xiaotian to accumulate his own power in the door, and then the inside and outside should be combined before Zhao Dekai can be pulled out. By the way, Senior Brother Zhuang, I got the Yin Jade back from Baiwu Mountain last time, and now I am also in Jisoul Village, right? ”

Senior Brother Zhuang turned his back to me and nodded: "It's been tested, and that Yin Jade is the same thing as the one that came out of the Northeast Evil Tomb." However, there is no sufficient evidence that the yin jade was brought into Baiwu Mountain by Zhao Dekai. Youdao, if you have time, it's best to contact Yan Xiaotian and ask him to start checking the origin of that Yin Jade. ”

I shook my head: "No, now Baiwu Mountain is full of Zhao Dekai's people, and Yan Xiaotian's rash investigation of this matter is easy to expose." At that time, in case the news of him and Jisoulzhuang joining forces to do business also leaked out, it allowed Zhao Dekai to take the lead. It's better to wait a little longer, and wait until Yan Xiaotian cultivates his own power, and then discuss these things. In addition, find a chance to give that yin jade to Yan Xiaotian, let him put that thing back in the warehouse, and don't let Zhao Dekai be suspicious. ”

From the rearview mirror, I saw a slightly playful smile on Senior Brother Zhuang's face.

After a few moments, he turned his face to me and said, "I can't believe that you are only a fifteen-year-old child." ”

Senior Brother Zhuang is praising me, right? I'm embarrassed.

I deliberately diverted the topic: "When I was at Lao Huang's house in the Northeast at that time, did you collect a lot of bullets?" ”

"You mean those spike-like bullets?" Senior Brother Zhuang replied to me: "When we cleaned the tomb, we did collect a lot, and we also found six spring guns for firing, two of which were sent to Liu Shangang. ”

I said "um" and said, "Yes, I did." Actually, I can't figure out how that bullet could get into its body because the corpse's skin is so hard that it can't even cut through the green steel sword. ”

Senior Brother Zhuang thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that it has something to do with the rune on the bullet, isn't that kind of bullet hollow, the rune is tattooed on the inner side of the bullet, and we only found it after the bullet was unfolded." The bullet used for research is in Jisoulzhuang, and I can show it to you when I go back. ”

My master interjected from the side: "What kind of sigil? ”

Senior Brother Zhuang shook his head: "It's hard to describe, but my master said that that kind of rune is very similar to the Yin Talisman of the Ghost Gate." Uncle Shi will wait until he returns to the Soul Village to see for himself. ”

After that, we talked about some things about Baiwu Mountain, because after Senior Brother Zhuang got off the highway, he drove the car onto a mountain road, the road conditions were complicated, he had to concentrate on driving, we talked to him, he should occasionally say a sentence or two, and the content of the chat behind was more fragmented, and I don't remember it clearly.

When I returned to Jisoul Village, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and because the injuries on my body had not completely healed, Master asked me to go to the cabinet tomorrow and have a good rest in the evening.

After dinner, we went to bed early, and the next morning, it was still the same morning exercise as usual, but I was injured and the intensity of the morning exercise was not as high as usual.

It was about eight or nine o'clock in the morning, when Master and I went down the well, walked through the spiritual spring, and I urged Fantianyin to open the secret door, and then came to the cabinet.

When I came back this time, I mainly wanted to find out where the sword in the black sarcophagus came from, and I still remember where the book with the sword diagram was located, and it didn't take much effort to find it.

Unfolding the book, at the very beginning of the whole book, there is a manuscript of the sword, I will not be mistaken, this is the sword I saw in the sarcophagus, the ratio of the hilt to the sword, and the gem at the end of the hilt, are exactly the same.

At the beginning of the book, a person named Zhou Lie was first mentioned, this person was unintentional, a willful hero in the late Western Han Dynasty, a young man in the army, and followed the deputy captain of the Western Regions Chen Tang to fight the Northern Huns, Chen Tang was the person who said "Those who offend me as a strong man, although they are far away, they will be punished".

Zhou Lie is not a person who leads troops to fight, he is a guard and a pawn beside Chen Tang, but in the book, he compares him with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, saying that his ability to kill people can almost catch up with the level of the overlord, and he is also a fierce man who can be a thousand.

And although this person is good at riding horses, he loves horses like an obsession, and every time he goes to the battlefield, he is reluctant to ride his own war horse, often on foot, and he is not good at using long weapons, the most convenient weapon is a five-foot long sword and two halberds handed down from his ancestors, before Zhou Lie got this sword, the sword had no name, and later he named the sword himself: Tiangang.

Tiangang Sword?

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, and turned my head to look at the master, who raised his chin at the book in my hand and motioned for me to continue reading.

I continued to look down, and the more I looked, the more surprised I became.

The book says that Zhou Lie fought on the battlefield for five spring and autumn periods, and he comprehended a set of swordsmanship without fixed moves, which was named after the sword, also called Tiangang Sword.

But didn't my master say that the Tiangang Sword was transmitted to Jisoulzhuang by someone from the Tang Dynasty or the Sui Dynasty, and how did it come into existence at the end of the Western Han Dynasty?

I didn't ask too much and kept looking down.

Zhou Lie has accumulated a lot of military merits in the years he has been in the army, but when the Northern Xiongnu was broken and the court rewarded him for his merits, he did not like to be restrained because of his natural freedom, so he did not accept the reward from the court, but only received a sum of money from the court and returned to Hedong County to be a ranger.

When he was in Hedong County, he got acquainted with a scholar who went out to study, and this scholar was the originator of our Soul Village, Zhuang Junping!

I felt more and more that something was wrong, and then looked down, and the book used a very heavy pen and ink to describe some details of Zhou Lie's relationship with the ancestral master, the book said that Zhou Lie because of his heroic temperament and generous shots, the little reward given by the court was quickly spent by him. He didn't have a proper job, and later relied entirely on our grandfather to help him, and he still lived his willful and heroic life.

Master Zu reached a tacit agreement with him, when Zhou Lie was still alive, all his living expenses would be borne by Master Zu, but after his death, he would need to pass on the sword spectrum of Tiangang Sword to Master Zu's disciples.

When Zhou Lie died, his grandfather had passed away for thirty years.

After the death of the ancestor master, the first ancestor established the Soul Village in that stormy era, that is, in those thirty years, the Soul Village had several turbulences, all of which were settled by Zhou Lie.

The first ancestor felt the kindness of Zhou Lie, and after Zhou Lie's death, he poured all his family resources to make a tomb for Zhou Lie, and took out the last two black sarcophagi left in the Soul Village, and made coffins for Zhou Lie and Zhou Lie's wife.

The book says that because Zhou Lie's life is peculiar, he is not suitable for burial with his wife. In the end, it can only be "buried together", that is, two people are buried in the same burial chamber, but the bones are not placed in one coffin. That's why in that catacomb, there are two black sarcophagi.

And the cut book also clearly mentions that there were originally eleven black sarcophagi like this.

At the end of the book, it is said that Zhou Lie's life belongs to the fire in the furnace, but it is an evil fire, which is very different from the ordinary fire in the furnace.

Seeing this, the whole book has been fully unfolded by me. Although it is not said where Zhou Lie's tomb was built, all kinds of signs show that the person who renovated the old tomb of Mass Grave Mountain is undoubtedly the first ancestor.
