Whether it is a dead soul or a dead person, it will eventually disappear after many years. There are no long-lived people in the world, and there are no long-lived ghosts in the underworld.

There are many people who dig up the hall and tell me that what they are most willing to dig are those pits thousands of years ago, in addition to the value of these pits, the safest thing is that it is not easy to get out of the zongzi, and what kind of evil can they do when they are rotten into a mess of mud? People with a little Taoist experience know that the tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties are the most reluctant to touch, and the risks are extremely high. The more luxurious the tomb is the greater the probability of dirty things, the owner of the tomb enjoyed enough glory and wealth during his lifetime, how can he easily be willing to leave after death, these people are often greedy for the wealth and status of the underground world, and they can linger for hundreds of years with a mouthful of obsession.

There is no statement about the exact lifespan of the deceased, but modern metaphysics generally believes that the maximum will not exceed five hundred years, and there is a version of "Journey to the West" Chapter 2, Sun Wukong walked through the back door in the middle of the night and knelt in front of the master's bed and said:

"I hope Master will be merciful and pass on the way of immortality to me, and I will never be ungrateful!" The patriarch said: "You have a fate today, and I like to say it." Since you know the mystery of the plate, you come near, listen carefully, and tell you the wonderful way of immortality. ”

Wukong wants to learn "immortality", and the master also passes on "immortality". Wukong thought he had learned everything, but the master said, "It's just guarding against the three calamities." ”。“ Master's words are fallacious. Wukong didn't believe it at all when he heard it, I had learned to live forever, but how could there be a "three calamities"?

The patriarch said: "This is the extraordinary way, the creation of heaven and earth, and the mystery of invading the sun and the moon. After Dancheng, the ghosts and gods are intolerable. Although you live in Yan Yishou, but after 500 years, a thunderstorm will hit you from the sky, and you must see your nature and mind and avoid it in advance. can hide from longevity and Tianqi, but can't escape from death.

As a novel, "Journey to the West" is an attempt to fight monsters and upgrade the route, but more and more people interpret the information as a religious conspiracy, about this for a while I and Cha Wenbin also talked at home, I asked him You Taoism is so good, there are so many immortals, how can you not beat a monkey?

Cha Wenbin replied to me like this at the time: Taishang Laojun was beaten by a monkey in the book, and he smashed the temple, but you see that one of Laojun's mounts, the green ox, surrendered all four of their masters and apprentices, do you really think that Laojun's mana is not as good as a cow?

Myths are myths, legends are legends, but Cha Wenbin did find that ghosts really get rarer the older they get, unless they are some specially treated corpses. His method is very simple: it is said that no one has been in here for thousands of years, and ghosts also need to eat and drink, so people will make some gold and silver ingots, incense and candles to pay tribute to the priests. How could the owner of a tomb of this magnitude endure the hardships of a thousand years without a priest?

"It's like Xiao Yi didn't eat braised pork for three years when we were in the Northeast, and suddenly came back to give you a plate, what would you do?"

Without thinking, I replied, "Eat!" Then you don't need to ask, it's all boiled to death! ”

Cha Wenbin smiled: "That's right, whether it's a human or a ghost, you can't escape its essence, if there is really something here, I'll just light a stick of incense and try it." ”

Incense is naturally a good fragrance, this thing is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the poor incense is sawn wood powder, good incense can be exquisite, and the raw materials added are not worse than preparing a bottle of good perfume. Many of Cha Wenbin's incense are homemade, and in some sects of Taoism, many of them have their own incense-making recipes, which are all secrets that are not passed on. This time, instead of the usual dark red and pale yellow, he used turquoise, and it was the first time I had seen incense of this color. As soon as I took out this incense and didn't light it, I smelled a strange smell, I couldn't tell it, and when I smelled it, I suddenly felt that something rushed straight to my brain, and I suddenly felt refreshed.

What surprised me was that there was no smoke in this incense, only the incense was indeed burning, Cha Wenbin held the incense high above his head and bowed respectfully in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and said: "Yuhua bokeh, nine qi contains smoke; Xiangyun Miluo, rushing for nine days! The golden boy who serves the incense, the rumored jade girl; Before Emperor Shangwen, he ordered his ministers to live forever; The world is a god, what he wishes, salty begging is like words, and Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law! ”

The respectful incense stick was inserted on the ground, and a few of us could only wait in silence, and we didn't need to explain it to Cha Wenbin at this moment, and we definitely couldn't disturb it. Incense is a solemn matter whether it is in a Taoist temple or a tomb ancestral hall, and it must not disturb the gods, otherwise the incense will be burned in vain.

After about three minutes, Cha Wenbin said, "Okay, there is an approximate result." ”

As he spoke, he went to get incense, and there was a piece of paper under the incense, and the incense penetrated the paper and inserted into the soil, and when Cha Wenbin took off the paper, the paper had already left burn marks after the incense ash fell. He picked up the paper and looked at it, and the burnt marks turned out to be the appearance of a human head!

Cha Wenbin took the paper and said, "Sure enough, there are still things, so let's take it easy." ”

"Where can you see that?" I asked.

"I can't see it, this is a smokeless incense, I also call it 'fairy pour', as long as you smell it, even the fairy will not be able to stand steadily. The cypress powder used for more than 500 years is ground and dried, plus Longyan and saffron and a small amount of agarwood powder, and even the stirring water must be the morning dew collected from the lotus leaves in the early morning, and this craft has long been gone. There was once an incense master on the master's door, and a total of ten were left, and this is the eighth one I use now. Cha Wenbin said with some pride in his heart: "This incense is lit, everything within a radius of ten miles will smell the fragrance and move, and it is the trace it leaves, only a foot away from me, but I didn't find it at all, and the compass is not moving, which means that the fork encountered this time is a hard master." ”

His so-called hard masters are those dirty things that are very difficult to solve, and the dirty things are also divided into levels, ordinary, using magic tools or a talisman, and they can be solved with one spell. If there is a little more grievance, open an altar to make a method and invite all kinds of heavenly soldiers to send it, and the very powerful kind has to cooperate, and it often takes several people to practice together to have the possibility of subduing, which requires consulting some major factions and even using formations.

Tianzheng Dao has always paid attention to the craft mode of single transmission, solitude, and master with apprentice. The disadvantage of this model is that the craftsmanship will be lost, the production of top tribute incense is not only difficult to find raw materials, the formula and heat are the biggest obstacles, the incense in Cha Wenbin's hands burns very fast but does not smoke, smokeless but can smell the fragrance, it is indeed a divine product, no wonder it will be said that the gods will pour when they smell it.

"It may be close to us, or it may be far away from us now, so be careful," he reminded. "I always felt that what he said was the same as what he didn't.

Further inside, there is a flat road, and the water and rocks begin to gradually increase, and it can be seen that the terrain is slowly rising, and there are branches of the lower river on both sides, so that in the later stage, you can see the surrounding spring of water gushing out at a distance of five meters. Most of these springs are only the size of a bowl, and the openings are square, with obvious signs of human digging.

Long Ye is also well-informed, he said: "This is the hole that the ancestors used to ventilate, and the hollow bamboo inside has been connected to the outside, and then the soil that was filled in was raw soil and was easily washed away by the water flow. ”

Cha Wenbin asked, "So, our current location is in the tomb road?" ”

Long Ye nodded and said: "** It's not far from ten, I estimate that it will be over in a few tens of meters, and the total amount of this mountain is so big, it's not far away." ”

"No more than ten meters" Ye Qiu spoke again: "I already smell the corpse." ”

Ten meters? The distance of our flashlight was about thirty meters, and in front of us was a straight passage, far away, and there was nothing but some random stones within ten meters.

At this time, I didn't dare to talk nonsense, I could only look at those masters, and Master Long said to me: "Xiaoyi, there is a flare in your backpack, hit it to see the situation." ”

I pulled it around, and there was an iron bump, which was similar to a grenade, but it contained white phosphorus, and it exploded at the sight of air. Ten meters away, even the old lady in the countryside can throw it over, according to the approximate position in front of me, I smashed one, a dazzling flash lit up and immediately fascinated everything, finally the eyeballs began to adapt a little, and the entire front was illuminated as daylight.

"Stand back!" Cha Wenbin and Long Ye shouted almost at the same time, I didn't know what they had found, they had already begun to turn around and retreat.

Have you ever seen the cross of Jesus? I don't mean anything religious, but it's like that, and when the flashbang goes off, the sight on both sides is enough to take you back to the legendary Roman Empire.

It was a row of corpses, like bacon on both sides of the passage, all of them shriveled up, and the color of the stone walls around them was so mixed that it would have been impossible to see without the flares.

For half a minute, we subconsciously looked at this breathtaking scene while retreating, such a place is definitely not easy for you to walk, because experienced, people who have gone down the pit are most afraid of encountering this legendary dead-end road.

What is a dead-end road? It's not that there's no way ahead, it's an ancient form of witchcraft that is used specifically to prevent theft. It is not clear who invented it, but there has always been a saying in the archaeological and tomb robbery circles: to cut off the head of a living person, the knife edge should be fast, and the human head is still conscious within a few minutes after the knife is dropped.

The beheading was not on the execution ground but in the cemetery, and the executioner would stand behind him with a masked face, with the knife in his hand, and the severed head would be placed outward, because the deceased did not know who he had been killed, so he would stare wide-eyed to see who had done it, and unfortunately, he would never see the executioner again. Because the chosen executioners would retreat to the burial chamber and commit suicide to accompany the burial, the heads of these people would never be seen in the tomb again.

Year after year, these unexplained souls grow in anger and turn into vicious ghosts waiting for their enemies to appear, and he is the first to appear in the eyes of the heads when a tomb robber passes by happily through the grave path. So you become the target of the executioner's diverted attention, all hatred will rush to the tomb robber at the first time, and the resentment that has squeezed for thousands of years will be released in an instant, so often the person who breaks into this kind of tomb has only one fate: to be eaten by ten thousand ghosts.

The legend of the dead-end road has been circulating for a long time, but there are very few who are really lucky enough to see it, and the reason is simple, those who have seen it are already dead......
