Chapter 182: Broken Jade

Master's words were a little deeper, and I couldn't fully understand: "What is the Triple Heavenly Pass?" Isn't that sigil the seal of the town? ”

"Sanchong Tianguan, it is a kind of suppression method created by Tao Hongjing, a generous scholar of the Southern Dynasty, and a suppressive town." Master patiently explained to me: "Legend has it that when Tao Hongjing lived in seclusion in Juqu Mountain, there were nine infants in the local rebellion, and he created such a method in order to suppress the nine infants. The ancient books of Jisoulzhuang say that the triple heavenly pass, entering the earth does not enter the sky, that is, to arrange this kind of town method, it can only be underground. ”

When the master spoke, the old lady seemed a little anxious, although he didn't say anything, but I saw that the expression on his face had become a little impatient.

I knew that the old lady wanted to get to the top of the tower as soon as possible, but I was so bent on wondering what was going on with the Triple Heavenly Pass, and I didn't tell me about it.

In fact, sometimes I think about it, my heart was big enough at that time, in the evil tomb, the slightest carelessness may be doomed, but I still have the leisure to listen to the master's story. But looking back, I was so relaxed when Master was by my side, and if Master wasn't there at the time, I guess I would have collapsed in that environment.

The master didn't seem to notice the expression on the old lady's face, and continued, "I have also read some ancient books about the Maoshan Sect in the past...... At the beginning, Tao Hongjing's secluded Juqu Mountain was actually Maoshan Mountain, and the ancient books said that the Maoshan Sect had a special formation for suppressing powerful monsters, which was born from Tao Hongjing's triple heavenly pass. This kind of array is very troublesome to arrange, you need to find the town in the natural cave first, the so-called town object here, usually a stone pillar or stone cone that grows from the top of the cave downward, which is called the town cone in the triple heavenly pass. After that, ninety-nine yang locks were taken and punched into the Zhentian cone, and finally sixty-six craftsmen were found to hollow out the Zhentian cone and imprison the monster in the Zhentian cone. As long as the yang lock continues and the Zhentian cone does not collapse, the monsters that are forbidden inside will never be able to come out. ”

Speaking of this, Master pointed around me again and said, "When I first saw this suspended tower, hehe, I was also shocked, and I thought to myself how such a tower could be hung in the air by those bronze chains. Later, I figured out that this tower was not hoisted up, but its original body was a stone cone born from the top of the cave, and the tomb builder first fixed the chain on the stone cone, and some craftsmen spent several years carving the stone cone into a suspended pagoda. After that, a door opening was opened, a stone door was installed to stabilize the foundation of the Triple Heavenly Pass, and a huge space was carved out in the stone tower. However, the exterior wall of the stone tower was finely carved, and when it came to the inside of the tower, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen suddenly became rough, and I think that at the last moment when the tomb builders built the tower, something happened to them, so that it had to be completed in a hurry. ”

After that, the master pointed to the double fish sigil on the inner wall of the copper ball and said: "The Zhendi Dharma Seal is an extension of Tao Hongjing's Shuangyang Sigil, you look carefully, the sigil on this is different from the Zhendi Dharma Seal, the Zhendi Dharma Seal is Yin and Yang Pisces, and this sigil is two Yang Fish." As long as this rune pattern is engraved on the chain, the bronze chain can have yang power and become a yang lock, it is said that Tao Hongjing created this rune in order to cooperate with his triple heavenly pass. ”

I took a closer look at the sigil on the inside of the copper ball, and then I realized that the two fish on the sigil were indeed two yang fish.

The only difference between them is on the three horizontal lines behind the gills, the three solid lines behind the gills of the yang fish, and the three dotted lines behind the gills of the yin fish, the solid line corresponds to the Qiangua in the eight trigrams, and the dotted line corresponds to the kun hexagram, Qianyang and Kunyin, so as to separate the yin and yang of the fish.

The master opened his mouth and wanted to continue, but before he could make a sound, the old lady interjected: "Master Chai, when are we going to the tower?" ”

While the old lady was talking, the people had already begun to walk towards the stone staircase.

The expression on Master's face became a little embarrassed, and he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Go, lead the way." ”

I hurried in front of the old lady and walked up the stone stairs first.

To tell you the truth, my master was indeed a little verbose just now, the time was short, and the situation in the evil tomb was extremely complicated, so he still said so many things, which took a lot of time. But I also understand Master's painstaking efforts, he just wanted to take this opportunity to teach me, for my Master, the most important thing in life, in addition to inheritance, is still inheritance.

There was hardly a complete set of steps on the stone staircase, and we had to step on the hole in the stone staircase and climb up little by little.

When I came to the second floor of the stone tower, a corpse wearing a short shirt appeared near the stone staircase, and a Luoyang shovel fell next to the corpse.

It seems that the owner of this corpse should also be the ancestor of the old Huang family.

But the old lady Huang didn't seem to care about the corpse at all, he was probably afraid that the corpse would block the way of the people behind him, so he kicked the skeleton to the side, although the old lady was old, but the strength on his feet was not weak at all, and when he kicked it, the bones fell apart in an instant, flying everywhere.

And the other descendants of the Huang family didn't seem to be surprised by the old lady's approach, they still went their own way, and Huang Changsheng didn't even look at the skeleton.

I felt strange in my heart, so I cast a puzzled look at Master.

Master shook his head at me and motioned for me not to talk too much.

On the contrary, Liu Shangang muttered in the back: "Isn't this also the ancestor of the old Huang family, why ......?"

Before he finished his next words, his mouth was covered by Liang Houzai.

The ancestors of the old Huang family have nothing to do with us, how did the old lady Huang treat the bones of the ancestors, that is the old lady Huang's own business, and it is the internal matter of the old Huang family. We, the outsiders, have no right to point fingers.

The stone tower was higher than I expected, and we climbed for almost an hour, but we still didn't make it to the top.

The old lady was already very tired, and I was a little tired after walking such a long way, and then Huang Yulian suggested that everyone take a break before going on the road.

She took out a few packets of compressed biscuits and two clean bottles from her backpack, and by this time the air purifier on the gas mask had failed, so we had to take off the mask, endure the smell of blood in the air, and hastily eat something.

Fortunately, the bronze door at the bottom of the tower blocked the evil aura outside the tower, and also purified the blood in the air to a certain extent, otherwise, no one would be able to eat this meal.

Fifteen minutes later, I saw that the old lady's face was not as prostrated as before, so I beckoned everyone and continued to climb towards the top of the stone tower.

Fortunately, the higher we climbed, the easier the path became, and gradually, the stone staircase appeared on top of the finished steps, and the unevenness and potholes became less and less, and when we reached the last few floors, there were handrails on the stone staircase.

As he climbed the stone staircase, Master said to me, "It seems that when the tower was first built, it was built down from the top of the tower. Triple Heavenly Pass, the first two are the Zhentian Pillar and the Yang Lock, and the last one should be the magic weapon that the tomb maker exists on the top of the tower. There is a way, be careful when you reach the top. ”

I nodded and continued walking.

I have to say that at that time, there was still a big gap between my concentration and that of Master. Even though the smell of blood in the tower was not as strong as outside the tower, I was still breathless, and my master could still say so many things in one breath.

After another ten minutes, a stone staircase covered with gold leaf appeared in front of me, and just as I climbed this stone staircase, the smell of blood in the air suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, an extremely pure yin qi came towards me, and a large amount of cold qi immediately poured out of the black water corpse coffin, blocking this yin qi from my body.

I had a vague hunch that after walking through this stone staircase, it should be the top floor of the stone tower.

Master also reminded me behind me, "Be careful. ”

I clenched the green steel sword in one hand, took a deep breath, and quickly ascended the last stone staircase, and Xian'er retreated behind me at this time.

As expected, after the stone staircase, there is the top floor of the stone tower.

This is a large space surrounded by eight walls, and the ground is engraved with the hexagram of the innate gossip, and in the center of the gossip map, there is also a huge sarcophagus.

It was an ordinary sarcophagus, and there was nothing special about it, but in the center of the coffin lid, there was a cup full of water, with a large mouth and a small base.

It stands to reason that such a cup is not easy to stand firm.

But not only did it stand firmly on the lid of the sarcophagus, but when the stone tower shook slightly as we walked, the cup also adjusted its position, and when the stone tower tilted to the left, it leaned slightly to the right, and when the stone tower tilted to the left, it leaned to the right.

The water in the cup was always level, and not a drop was spilled.

Moreover, in addition to the water in the cup, there was also a dark green broken jade, and the pure yin qi that permeated the air was emanating from the broken jade.

This jade, whether it is the color or the breath on it, is exactly the same as the yin jade in the tomb of the Dragon King.

After Mrs. Huang reached the top, he saw the broken jade in the cup at a glance, and he rushed over on the spot, but was pulled back by my master.

The old lady turned to look at my master with doubts in her eyes.

Huang Changsheng also asked my master on the side: "Master Chai, what do you mean by this?" ”

My master let go of Old Lady Huang and responded, "This jade cannot be destroyed. ”

The expression on Old Lady Huang's face became even more puzzled: "Why can't it be destroyed?" The third master said that as long as the evil jade is destroyed, the big demon in the evil tomb can be completely suppressed, and I will never be wrong about this matter. ”

Master sighed and said, "Third Master Su has been deceived. The big demon in this place is not an evil thing in the first place, the reason why it stays here is to guard this piece of broken jade, if you touch this piece of jade, the big demon lurking in the abyss will definitely burst out and hurt people. I estimate that when Su Sanye entered the tomb back then, he should have hit the idea of this piece of jade, and then ......"

Hearing Master's words, the expression on Old Lady Huang's face became a little angry, and before my master could finish speaking, he interrupted my master: "Why do you say that? ”
