Chapter 442: Ghost Killer (3)
The lynx is also known as the ancestor of ghosts in the eyes of Taoist priests, and it is even more evil than the most evil black cat, and this thing has one of the most notorious fetishes, which is digging graves.
Many people think that the lynx came down that year to eat the flesh of dead people because they were hungry, and that was just one of the reasons. As long as the things in the mountains are alive, they are all food for the lynx, birds flying in the sky, rabbits running on the ground, as long as it wants to catch it, the lynx can catch it, so it has no shortage of food. Lynx has a habit of eating dead human flesh, so who is the best partner for the lynx? It's a tomb robber!
Tomb robbers can be said to be a typical embarrassment with the lynx, and the first person who discovered that the lynx can dig graves is said to be a Henan man named Zhang Haozi. This person is in the Northern Song Dynasty, when he was a teenager, he went into the mountains to chop wood and picked up a kitten's cub, the cat was picked up by him and kept as a pet, the size of the cat became bigger and bigger, and later I learned that it was a lynx, because I raised my feelings and never threw it, and stayed by my side as a companion.
The lynx he had had a habit of digging the soil behind his yard, and every morning he would get up and refill the pit he had dug, only to be re-dug the next day. After repeating this, Zhang Haozi felt strange, so he simply took a hoe and went to plan, and when he dug into the depths, he found that it was an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, and there were too many treasures in it to count. He thought it was a lynx repaying his kindness, but he didn't want the lynx to jump in and eat the corpses inside as soon as he opened the main coffin.
Zhang Haozi had money and found that tomb robbing was a good business to make a fortune, and the lynx he raised would find the grave, so this person and a cat hit it off. One was responsible for exploring the pit, the other was responsible for opening the coffin, and Wang Haozi only had to take the burial goods inside, as long as the bones were left for the lynx.
A few years later, Zhang Haozi made a fortune, and with a group of brothers who specialized in tomb robbing, he became a well-known local tomb robber. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, Zhang Haozi took the lynx and began to run around, avoiding the shortage of soldiers, and finally fled to Jurong, Jiangsu. After he settled down incognito, he was ready to continue to do that business, Sunan has been a rich place since ancient times, and there are many gold and silver treasures buried in the ground, with the ability of the lynx, Zhang Haozi is ready to do a lot of work.
The arrival of Zhang Haozi stirred up the local people's panic, because every once in a while, someone saw a coffin exposed somewhere, not only the tomb was looted, but even the bones were gnawed clean. How can someone rob the tomb and eat the corpse, so there are rumors that it is a monster to haunt it, and there is a name called Maoshan in Jurong. Maoshan as early as 5,000 years ago is said to have a master here to cultivate, the mountain is full of Taoist temples, Maoshan around the appearance of monsters that will not be tolerated, soon someone went to Maoshan for help.
At that time, the head of the Shangqing faction in Maoshan was called Yunyazi, and he was known as the person of Dripping Water. When he heard that Jurong was plagued by demons, he immediately took two disciples down the mountain to check.
At first, Zhang Haozi denied it, and then everyone entered the house and forcibly searched and found a pile of stolen goods, but only the black lynx was missing. Later, Zhang Haozi was sentenced to capital punishment by the government, and the corpse was still disposed of by the Taoist priest of the Shangqing faction after cutting off his head, and after a short time, someone found that Zhang Haozi's grave was also dug up, and his bones were gnawed away, and the murderer was the black lynx he raised himself.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, there will be a grave to be dug up, and everyone goes to find the water drip man, who calculates that the black lynx has become a sperm, and he is determined to get rid of this evil. Maoshan has a spell that can make people fake their death for seven days, so the dripping people set up a new grave for themselves after calculating the days, tied them with straw mats and buried them in the loess.
On that day, sure enough, the black lynx came to dig out his grave, and the dripper first buried a layer of iron hooks with barbs in the grave. The black lynx was pricked when it dug up the soil with its claws, and when it was painful, it was hooked by the barbed hook. The other end of the hook was trapped in a wooden stopper, and the cork was plugged into a small bottle, and as soon as the rope was tightened, the cork was pulled open, and the antidote in the bottle was instantly released, and the drip man woke up.
When the Dripping Man woke up, he broke through the ground and slashed it with a sword, not wanting to cut off just one of its tails. The lynx that lost its tail also lost its spirituality, and never came out again after escaping, and the tail was taken back by the dripper and made a kind of incense: the incense of the soul.
The lynx is a ghost of ghosts, coming and going without a shadow, eating human bones, and has a lot of anger in its body, which in turn exists on its long tail. It is dried and ground into powder to make incense, and when it is lit, there will be an extremely unpleasant stench, which ordinary people can't stand it, but the smoke emitted is angry. Because lynx often eats people, the anger is even greater than that of demons and monsters, and under the oppression of this anger, ordinary evil spirits will show their original form.
As the saying goes, the one who is afraid of the horizontal, and the one who is afraid of the death. Ghosts are also vicious, and the ferocity of the lynx has long surpassed that of ordinary evil ghosts.
The present soul incense is a kind of magic weapon that specializes in defeating evil spirits, and the evil ghosts will be overwhelmed by this anger and cannot move after appearing in the incense mist, but the materials are extremely harsh, and they need a black lynx tail that eats human flesh to make. Taoism is decent, and naturally it will not raise this kind of evil thing to eat human flesh for materials, so although the soul incense is recorded, there are few finished products. In the Maoshan Taoist Temple, there were originally three soul-present incense sticks created by the people of the Dripping Water Dao, one of which was used up by his descendants, and the other was enshrined on the golden altar. In the thirties of the last century, the Japanese invaded Maoshan and burned and looted, and there was still one of Sanxiang; During the Cultural Revolution, the Maoshan Taoist Temple was impacted, the statue was smashed, the golden altar was destroyed, the Taoist priests were decentralized, the classics were burned, and countless Taoist treasures were destroyed.
It was at that time that Ma Sufeng got a fragment from the folk, which is said to have been secretly left by a Taoist Red Guard from the Taoist temple, and this fragment happened to record the production method of the present soul incense, which recorded the black lynx.
Ma Zhenren tried to make incense according to the method contained in the text, and a lynx tail produced a total of two incense, one of which was used by him for verification, and the other was preserved, and it was never used in the hands of Cha Wenbin, and he was so careful that he kept it as a treasure.
In this way, Chaozi finally understood why Cha Wenbin let him stop, and it seemed that that thing had really become refined. However, when he heard that the tail of that thing was so precious, he said, "Since it is not a good thing, then we simply cut off the tail and you take it back to make two more incense sticks, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?" ”
"You think that thing is that good? Two generations of grandmasters have to pay a few lives to get it, are you willing to exchange whose life from us for a tail! Evil things will always haunt evil places, and it seems that this place is also an evil place, so we have to be careful overnight. ”
Chaozi patted the earthen gun in his hand and said: "The drip master you said is because he doesn't have a gun in his hand, and the village party secretary is also a mallet, and more than 20 guns are empty." We've already hit it, and it's in the chest, it's burned through the tin bars, and it's a big cat, and even a cow will surely die. ”
Cha Wenbin sneered: "Don't believe it, people say that cats have nine lives, but the lynx has eighty-one, and if it is really pierced through its lungs, it can still walk like a fly?" ”
Chaozi turned his head to look at Zhuo Xiong and asked, "Blind, have you seen it?" Is it lungs or not? ”
Zhuo Xiong recalled for a moment, the shot was between the lightning and flint, so close that it could not be dodged at normal speed, almost against its chest: "It shouldn't be wrong, unless its speed is really faster than my eyes!" ”
"It's not that there are things that are faster than your eyes, where did you see them?"
Chaozi pointed to the distance and said, "In the graveyard ahead." "Take me there."
That graveyard was the place where the wild boar was hunted yesterday, and following the bloodstains, Chaozi quickly locked the position, and most of the grave bag on the ground had been removed.
"Damn, that thing is really here to dig up dead bodies, it's dead for hundreds of thousands of years, can there be something for it to eat?"
Cha Wenbin stepped on the mound of soil that had been cut open with his foot, squatted down again, stuck a little soil with his fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed. The soil was red and smelled of blood, but it was certainly not the lynx's blood, for it was not there where it had been hit, and there was a hint of acid in it.
"Call Miss Leng here, and get two shovels by the way."
Chaozi thought to himself, could it be that Cha Wenbin wants to learn from Zhang Hezi to rob the tomb, good guy, learn and use it now, there is a future! If he can really persuade Cha Wenbin to rob the tomb, he won't follow it, with his understanding of feng shui, it is also possible to get a few imperial tombs. A lewd smile suddenly appeared on Chaozi's face, and he hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Cha Wenbin looked up at the sky, a full moon was in the sky, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, there are several black clouds in the distance are pressing in this direction, he ordered: "Call Miss Leng to come to let her make an archaeological marker, take a shovel to dig up here, don't ask so much." ”
