049-Exploratory Cave
Although he said it happily, after entering the mysterious cave with Yang Laodao, the third brother's legs still trembled unconsciously.
In order to strengthen his courage, he said to me tremblingly while smoking: Brother, can you cheer me up? I, I'm a little scared
Brother, what are you afraid of, you are a natural Taoist!
I smiled and comforted: Besides, what is so terrible about ghosts? Don't forget, on the night of the dead man in front of our store, you slapped Maggie Hu's head off with a brick
I comforted the third brother a lot better, and scratched my head and said with a smile: What you said is also right, what are you afraid of after all the ghosts? is also the second bull X in our group of brothers!
Third brother, why is it the second bull X? You're too flattering to me, brother
Fuck your uncle, I didn't say you, in my heart, the most bullish is Lao Ding
The third brother replied: I just filmed ghosts, but Lao Ding has slept with ghosts! Although I admired three people before I slept and died, Xu Xian, Dong Yong, Sun Wukong, his father, the first day passed the snake, the second day passed the fairy, and the third fucking didn't even let go of the stone, and now Lao Ding has also joined the ranks, which is simply the four heavenly kings in my heart
The two of us talked and laughed, and the atmosphere in the cave eased a lot, but as we walked forward, Yang Laodao, who was holding the fire talisman lighting, suddenly stopped, and we quickly stopped, and saw that Yang Laodao didn't speak, just stared at the darkness in front of him carefully.
Daoye, what's wrong?
I leaned over and asked in a whisper, but Yang Laodao didn't answer my words, just raised his hand and pointed forward, I followed it, and by the beating firelight, I saw a red thing lying on the ground of the cave in front of me, but I couldn't see what it was.
At this time, Yang Laodao took out a piece of rune paper from his robe, ignited it and threw it forward, and the burning rune paper happened to fall next to those red things, and we saw clearly that it was hundreds of rotten monsters neatly stacked in the shape of a pyramid, and the black erosive eye holes on each monster's head were facing us, as if they were staring at us in unison
For a while, Xiaoru and we were all so frightened that we couldn't speak, but Yang Laodao walked over casually, and after going around the pile of strange heads, he beckoned and said: Don't be afraid, these are some dog heads, it seems that they should have been placed here for a few months, but the stone in this cave is mainly lime, so these dog heads are not easy to decay, so they have become like this
After Yang Laodao finished speaking, I breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped over with the courage to come over, and asked him: Master Dao, why are there so many dog heads in the middle of the cave? Could it be that Zuo Bailong wants to scare us?
Scare? He's not going to be that boring.
Yang Laodao pointed to the pile of dog heads and said: This is a formation, called the dog head array, according to the Taoist records, it is a kind of evil sect sacrifice witchcraft of the witch and ghost sect back then, used to suppress the evil and avoid disasters, and drive away evil spirits, this formation needs to kill two hundred and eighty-five black dogs, and the severed dog heads are stacked into nine layers with 81/64/49/36/25/16/9/4/1 as the number, and then poured with black dog blood and the witch ghost sect priest raises the altar to chant the spell before the formation is successful.
At this time, Xiao Ru asked: Second uncle, that is to say, this is a righteous path formation?
Yang Laodao nodded and replied: That's right, the purpose of this kind of array is indeed good to people, but it is too bloody and the formation project is huge, although it is the right way, it is used evil magic, and this is the magic characteristics of the witch and ghost sect at the beginning, and it is precisely because of this that the witch and ghost sect caused the dissatisfaction of the people of the world, and was finally completely annihilated by Zhang Tianshi when he crossed to the east
When I heard Yang Laodao say this, I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: Dao Ye, is this a bit contradictory? You said before that the Witch Cult has been destroyed a long time ago, but why did the Witch Cult's formation appear here?
This is exactly what I have been guessing all along
Yang Laodao frowned, sighed and said, "Could it be that there have been remnants of the Witch Ghost Sect for thousands of years?" But this is impossible, it is said that it took hundreds of years for the entire Daomen to clean up the remnants of the Witch and Ghost Sect, and there is indeed no record of the Witch Sect in the history of the past thousand years, and those evil arts in the sect have long been lost
When Yang Laodao was pondering, Brother Monkey suddenly said behind him: Master, I don't think we should be concerned about this issue now
What do you mean by that? Xiaoru asked.
Whether the witch and ghost sect still exists or not, put it aside, you think, just now my master also said that this array is used to suppress evil and avoid disasters and drive away evil spirits, and it is actually placed here, do you mean
When Brother Monkey spoke, I felt that the atmosphere in the cave was more cautious
Yes, why is the formation of suppressing evil and avoiding evil and driving away evil in this hole? Could it be that there is something evil in the cave that needs to be suppressed?
After being silent for a long time, Yang Laodao spoke again: Monkey, in fact, what you said is right, this is exactly one thing I have been worried about, since I hit the stone door, I found one thing, this hole is a yin cave
To the Yin Cave? Daoye, what does this mean?
This cave is bounded by the stone gate, and the entrance of the cave is in the positive yin position in the sixty-four hexagrams, and the mountain stone soil in this area is mainly alkaline soil and limestone, so a natural yin land is formed in the hole. If I guess correctly, although this hole was used by Zuo Bailong, it should not have been made by Zuo Bailong, I am afraid it was left over from ancient times, and the demon cultivation needs to rely on the qi of the yin, which can also explain why the old turtle chose to practice stealthily in this vicinity
Yang Laodao said and took out a piece of talisman paper to ignite, stared at the dancing flame for a while, and then said: You see, the fire light is slightly outward, which means that the deep part of the cave is leaking out, and the air gathers for the wind, and the wind is born and the water rises, and there must be water in this cave. The yin land dies when it encounters water, the yang land sees the water live, the yang people enter the yin land, and ten people and nine lives are broken, if there is really water in this hole, we will be unlucky
Master Dao, why is this? I hurriedly asked.
But Yang Laodao didn't answer my words at all, and after sighing, he raised his legs and walked deeper into the cave, and we could only follow in a muffled voice.
According to the number of steps, we walked about fifty or sixty meters, and sure enough, we faintly heard the sound of gurgling water.
Yang Laodao sighed again and said: According to the five elements of yin and yang in feng shui, the entrance of the cave is placed in the yin position, and there is a pool of stagnant water blocking the way, which aggravates the circulation of yin qi
Master Dao, what is the place where corpses are accumulated? I asked.
Yang Laodao said that the place of accumulation of corpses, as the name suggests, is a place where a large number of corpses have been accumulated, most of this kind of place has had wars, or it is the place where the common people in the feudal society in the past worship the gods, in short, there are many corpses of people or animals that are discarded in the water and no one cares, and the stagnant water in the cave does not circulate outside, coupled with the natural lime ground to raise corpses, so the yin qi gathers more and more, and the more and more it gathers, most of the corpses are only rotten, just like those dog heads encountered before
When he explained, our group had already walked to the water's edge, and when we looked to the side, there were a pile of dilapidated wooden boats piled up on the shore, and if this hole was really left by ancient times, it seems that those boats must have been abandoned here by the ancients.
Yang Laodao played with the white paper fan in his hand, stood on the edge of the pond for a while, and suddenly nodded and said: It seems that this is the Zhiyin Cave, although this kind of hole is naturally formed, but it is unique, the feng shui layout just corresponds to the legendary Yin Cao Difu's Santu River, Ghost Gate Pass, and Lichuan Water, called the Sanyin pattern, simply put, it is the same as the pattern of the Yin Cao Difu, no wonder Zuo Bailong will put the main altar here, the yin in this hole is rare in the world
Subsequently, Yang Laodao instructed us to pick out a more complete and sturdy one from the broken boats on the shore, and after testing the water to prevent it from leaking, he took us on the boat, wanting to row across the stagnant water.
After rowing for a while, Yang Laodao suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward and said: According to the three-yin pattern, there should be a Yin Bridge in the backwater, corresponding to the Nai He Bridge on Huangquan Road in the Yin Cao Difu
Not long after rowing forward, a stone bridge appeared on the right side of the waterhole, which should be a natural weathered stone that looked like an arched bridge.
For a while, I admired Yang Laodao, who was a fairy wind and bones, and just wanted to shoot a few words of sycophancy, I felt that someone seemed to be dragging my clothes next to me, I looked back, and immediately screamed in fright, my face turned white, and I saw that from the water outside the side of the boat, a snow-white arm stretched out, and my fingers were pinching the corners of my clothes, and I dragged them twice from time to time
Damn! What the hell!
I was so frightened that I panicked at the time, but fortunately, Yang Laodao came over in time, and with a wave of the fan, he slapped the hand back into his hand, and shone the fire charm in his hand on the water, and a woman's face appeared under the water
The woman, who was white and had long flowing hair, was floating on her back on the water staring at us and laughing, one hand on her lap and the other beginning to reach our boat, apparently the one who had just pulled my clothes.
Not to mention, if it weren't for the weird behavior and expression, but looking at this woman's appearance is quite beautiful, but then I looked at her again, the whole scalp was numb, she only had half of her body, and there was nothing down her waist, as if she had been stopped and cut off, and half of her intestines were floating on the water behind her, which added a little scary
It's not just me, everyone on the boat except Yang Laodao was shocked, Yang Laodao hurriedly waved his hand and said: Don't be afraid, don't move, this is a puppet, if you don't mess with it, it won't hurt anyone
