Chapter 142: The Tooth
At that time, I hadn't met Master Chengyun, but I heard Old Man Huang say that this great monk's connections in the rivers and lakes were no worse than my master's.
But after Daochang Li and Master Chengyun came to the Northeast, they had not yet begun to investigate the whereabouts of the Jinding monk, and the old Huang family had an accident again.
On the top of the mountain, a "dragon horn" was broken, and from the crack where the "dragon horn" was broken, a strange colored dead man's skull also fell out.
How can there be a skull in a stone? And it's a skull with a different color.
For this, neither Daochang Li nor Master Chengyun could say why, but Old Lady Huang thought about it and decided to invite my master to come over, and he asked people to take a picture of the skull, and wrote a long letter to my master.
In fact, the letter arrived in my master's hands half a month ago, but my master was teaching me to draw talismans at that time, and I still couldn't spare extra energy.
After all, for my master, the inheritance of the right lineage is more important than anything else.
But in order to give the old Huang family an answer, the master handed the old lady's letter to Senior Brother Feng and asked him to try to break the whole story.
Senior Brother Feng had a rough understanding of what happened, and asked Senior Brother Zhuang to manage to call up the nearest highway surveillance to Huangjiazhuang, and finally deduced that the thief should still be hiding in Huangjiazhuang at this time, and also speculated that this so-called thief was very likely to be a member of the Huang family. And the broken teeth should also be related to this person.
The teeth in Senior Brother Feng's mouth are the two "dragon horns" on the mountain behind the ancestral hall.
When Mrs. Huang talked to him on the phone, he just talked about the pattern of the mountains behind the Huang family ancestral hall, and said about the two "dragon horns", Senior Brother Feng told Mrs. Huang that it was not a dragon horn at all, but a pestle tooth, and under these two spine teeth, there must be evil spirits entrenched.
The teeth are the fangs of the pestle. As for why Senior Brother Feng called those two stone pillars the Teeth, I don't know very well, I only know that this word should come from the classics that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Yuxian lineage.
No way, in our Soul Village, the three veins of inheritance cannot be communicated, and most of the things I can't explain as long as they involve the inheritance of the other two veins.
Old Lady Huang sighed at the accuracy of Senior Brother Feng's inference, and invited Senior Brother Feng to come to the Northeast to help the Huang family, but unfortunately, Senior Brother Feng had several big cases in his hands at that time, and the deadline for solving the cases had been set, and he couldn't spare time for a while.
To say that the old Huang family is also unfavorable this time, first of all, my master is busy teaching me, and this will Senior Brother Feng encountered a tricky case again, and when Senior Brother Feng took over those serious cases, it happened to be the beginning of last month, and there was a difference of three or four days between the theft of the Jinding monk.
According to Mrs. Huang, Senior Brother Feng said when he recommended Senior Brother Bao to him, Bao Youyou is a person, he is not good at learning in feng shui, and he is half a bottle of vinegar to death, but he is good at collecting intelligence, plus he has been walking outside for many years and is well-informed, so he should be able to help.
So, Mrs. Huang invited me Senior Brother Bao again, but fortunately, Senior Brother Bao had just come back from abroad, and he didn't refuse, and rushed to the Northeast as soon as he returned to China.
Senior Brother Bao came to the Northeast last night, but just an hour before he arrived at Lao Huang's house, the second "dragon horn", or the tooth, was also broken, and like last time, after the tooth was broken, another bone of unusual color fell out of it.
Last time, it was a brownish-yellow skull, this time, it was a dark blue thigh bone.
After Brother Bao arrived, Mrs. Huang took him to the side of the tooth to see, Brother Bao said that at the place where the tooth was broken, the crack showed a slight radial shape, and a small amount of yellowish powder was found near the tooth.
After that, Senior Brother Bao did a test on those powders, he used a lighter, and the yellow powder instantly began to burn, and there was a very slight popping sound in the burning.
Obviously, the powder was gunpowder, and both teeth were artificially blasted. But those two different bones did fall out of the fracture of the teeth, and Senior Brother Bao used the strong light of the searchlight to enter the crack of the teeth, and saw that there was a groove in the depth of the crack of each tooth, which was just enough to accommodate the two bones.
In other words, the two different bones have been sealed in the teeth before, and this is what puzzles Old Lady Huang the most.
Although the color of the bones is abnormal, and there are some small particles that resemble moss on the surface of the bones, other than that, they seem to be two ordinary bones.
Senior Brother Bao carefully identified the stone patterns on the section and said that these two tines were two naturally formed granite, without any man-made traces.
So, how exactly are the two fast bones embedded in the teeth?
Granite belongs to igneous rocks, which is a type of rock formed after the magma cools, and if these two stones are integrated into the magma when the teeth are formed, they are embedded in the ...... when the magma cools This assumption is simply not true, it is magma!
Old lady Huang felt more and more tricky now, and called my master again that night, this call, old lady Huang still had something to hide, he just said that the Huang family's family heirloom Yin Yang Drum was in danger of being stolen, but still did not mention the evil tomb under the teeth.
Of course, my master knows that the Huang family has a yin and yang drum that has been handed down from the Yuan Dynasty, and that drum can be said to be of great significance to the Huang family.
The so-called yin and yang drum actually has another name, called the human skin tambourine, the yin and yang of the old Huang family came from the Liang Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, made of the skull and human skin of a monk who attained enlightenment and a bhikshuni who also achieved great cultivation, and was inlaid with 28 ice spirit glass beads, its value is almost incalculable.
Although this drum is made of human bones and skin, in those days, both monks and nuns voluntarily donated their bodies to cast this drum after death.
Especially for Buddhist Tantra, this tambourine is still an extraordinary instrument.
When the ancestors of the Huang family passed down this drum, they said that as long as the yin and yang drum is not lost, the descendants of the Huang family can enjoy the prosperity of all generations, but once the yin and yang drum is lost, the Huang family will decline rapidly overnight. Of course, the Huang family at that time was still the Su family.
And Mrs. Huang said that the Yin and Yang Drums are in danger of being lost, and she is by no means deceiving my master.
The underground palace built by Su Santong in Baishuidu is said to be connected to the evil tomb under the teeth, and there are five 10,000-jin stone doors in the underground palace, although the five gold-topped monks are the keys to these five doors, but if there are only gold-topped monks in their hands, they still can't open the stone door.
Old lady Huang confessed to us that if you want to open the stone gate, you must first beat the two sides of the yin and yang drum three times in front of the stone gate, which is called "three drums in front of the door", and after the three drums, the gold-topped monk can open the stone gate.
Old lady Huang herself has never entered the underground palace of Baishuidu, but the fact that the three-way drum and the gold-topped monk can only open the stone door is written by Su Santong himself on the back of the family tree, and there will definitely be no mistake.
The genealogy of the old Huang family has been preserved in the hands of successive family heads, including the family filled in Xinding, and its name was also added to the family tree by the head of the family.
Since Su Santong excavated the underground palace, the Huang family tree has never been seen by a second person other than the head of the family.
The above is probably all the information contained in Mrs. Huang's words.
It took Old Lady Huang several hours to explain these things and plates, and by the time he finished speaking, the sky was already dark.
During the time he spoke, my master had been smoking a cigarette sullenly, and it was not until the old lady finished speaking that my master knocked the cigarette pot and said to the old lady Huang: "What the old lady means is that the thieves who stole the Jinding monk were just to enter the evil tomb. ”
Old lady Huang nodded: "That's what it means." ”
Because he had been talking all night in a row, his voice was already a little hoarse.
At this time, Li Daochang asked again: "After Su Santong came out of the evil tomb back then, he didn't mention it, what is in the tomb?" ”
Old Lady Huang shook his head: "Definitely not, even if it's me now, I don't know what is in the evil tomb." ”
As he spoke, he took a big sip of the water cup, and then continued: "And after the ancestors came out of the evil tomb, they first burned the mountains and forests, and then there were landslides. I've always felt that if there was a tomb there, it would have collapsed a long time ago. ”
My master lit another pot of new cigarettes and said slowly: "Back then, since Su Santong had people set fire to the evil tomb and burned the mountain, it seems that he didn't want people to find this tomb, and he let the clansmen settle here, it seems that he also wanted to guard the entrance of the evil tomb and prevent outsiders from entering. But if he really wanted to hide this tomb, why did he build that underground palace in Baishuidu? Old lady Huang, listen to what you just said, that underground palace is connected to the evil tomb under the pestle? ”
Old Lady Huang shook her head a little uncertainly: "I only heard about this matter recently. I haven't been in that dungeon either, and I don't know if it's connected to the Evil Tomb. ”
My master frowned, and asked him again: "Who else knows about the fact that Baishuidu has a dungeon palace except you?" Who told you that the underground palace leads to the evil tomb? ”
Hearing what Master said, I also noticed that something seemed to be wrong.
When my master asked him this, the expression on Mrs. Huang's face suddenly froze, and he sat on the master's chair in a daze, opening his mouth several times, but he didn't say a word.
After a long while, my master let out a long puff of smoke and said, "Who told you that the Baishuidu Underground Palace can connect to the evil tomb?" ”
Old lady Huang was silent for a long time before she replied sullenly: "I don't know." ”
After a moment, as if afraid that we didn't understand him, he said again: "I don't know who told me." I only remember one thing, but I don't ...... who that person is."
The master waved his hand, interrupting Old Lady Huang, and then looked at Daochang Li again.
