Chapter Fifty-Six: Two Rituals Guarding the Tomb

Shi Liya took the 10,000 yuan given to her by Zhao Wan'er, and drove the off-road vehicle borrowed by Qian Yiduo back to Nanjing alone.

After the discussion of the five people, because Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er were the protagonists of the crisis in front of them, and Qian Yiduo was responsible for digging the tomb, and Zhang Yuanshan wanted to survey the location of the real Yan tomb, therefore, the task of returning to Nanjing Qixia Temple to invite Zen Master Kongming could only be handed over to Shi Liya.

Shi Liya found Zen Master Kongming and explained his intention, but Zen Master Kongming hesitated, because he grew up in the temple and did not dare to go out alone in violation of the temple rules.

Shi Liya immediately found the Jian Temple, under the pretext of asking Zen Master Kong Ming to do a ritual for her family, and after donating 5,000 merit money, the Jian Temple agreed to Shi Liya's request. Shi Liya was greedy for a while, and privately withheld half of the money given to her by Zhao Wan'er, although she was also terrified, but her greed finally made her look like she was nothing.

At the same time that Shi Liya rushed back to Nanjing, Li Bing and a group of four people also came to Yan's tomb early.

After a whole day of investigation and judgment, Zhang Yuanshan came to a conclusion that the real Yan tomb was not far from that doubtful tomb. But where is it? No one can say for sure, after all, they secretly make up their minds and dare not act blatantly.

Qian Yiduo thought for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Brother Zhang, take a look, will this real Yan family's tomb be in the small mound behind?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan shook his head and motioned to Qian Yiduo to explain his reasons. Qian Yiduo suddenly came to his senses and said: "You see, this is located in a low-lying area, and this Wuhe County is also known as 'Huaibei Water Town'. If the site of the cemetery is not located on a high place, it will inevitably encounter flooded burial chambers. When we entered the tomb of the Yan family yesterday, we already felt that the water in the tomb was almost up to our knees. ”

Li Bing hurriedly agreed when he heard this: "Brother Qian is reasonable, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founder of the country, has a master like Liu Bowen who is proficient in feng shui, and he will never let his daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door suffer from flooding after death." Therefore, that small mound could really be the real Yan burial chamber. Moreover, do you find that this pattern is a little similar to the Ming Tomb in Nanjing? ”

Everyone took a closer look at the words, and sure enough, they found that the pattern was very similar. Zhang Yuanshan hurriedly ran to the small hillside, stood on it and looked around, amazed.

The other three also came to the small hillside, only to hear Zhang Yuanshan Zhongzheng saying: "Yi has Taiji, the first birth of two yi, two yi give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip." ”

Zhao Wan'er didn't know what to say when she heard it, and hurriedly asked Zhang Yuanshan what he meant. Zhang Yuanshan said with a smile: "This is what the Book of Changes says, there is yin in yang, and yang in yin, which is for two instruments." ”

Zhang Yuanshan pointed to the Yan tomb in the south and said: "You see, the Yan tomb is located in a flat depression, which is called yin in the Book of Changes, and the small hillside where we are now is yang. The tomb of the Yan family is not sheltered in any way, the sunlight can shine directly, and it accepts yang energy; And on the slopes of this hill are densely covered with trees, although they are in the sun, they do not see the sun; The water is yin, the mountain is yang, the low-lying place of Yan's tomb will be invaded by water, the terrain here is higher, and there is no water for the mountain, then it is yang. The so-called 'lonely yin does not grow, only yang does not grow' and 'without yang, yin cannot be born, and without yin, yang cannot be transformed'. ”

Zhang Yuanshan sighed for a while and continued: "Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, also said in the Tao Te Ching: 'Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and think that they are harmonious'. Therefore, this tomb of the Yan family must be the site of the original master, implying the array of yin and yang. From this point of view, the tomb of the Yan family is not fake, but only a part of the entire cemetery, and the small hillside here is where the real main burial chamber is located. ”

Zhang Yuanshan took out the compass again, only to see that the compass pointer was constantly shaking from side to side, he pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The place where we stand under our feet should be the place where the main tomb is located." Influenced by the Liangyi Array, that's why this compass is like this. ”

At this time, it was almost twilight, and seeing that there was no one around, Qian Yiduo quickly dug up the small tomb from yesterday, and took out the bronze mirror from the coffin lid.

The four of them pretended to wander leisurely on the hillside, waiting for the sky to get completely dark, so that they could dig up the main chamber of the Yan tomb and return the terrible bronze mirror to its true owner.

When there was only the last trace of afterglow left on the horizon, Qian Yiduo waved the military shovel according to the position Zhang Yuanshan said.

As soon as he dug up the third shovel of soil, the military shovel made a dull sound, as if it had hit a large rock.

Qian Yiduo was about to try the shovel again, when he suddenly felt that the trees and soil around him were shaking, and the wind was gusting. Just when they were horrified, they raised their eyes to look into the distance, but they were surprised to find that except on the hillside where they were, there was no wind around, and the trees in the distance did not shake at all.

"Look, what's that?" Zhao Wan'er pointed to the flat ground between the hillside and the Yan family's tomb in horror.

Everyone looked intently, and saw that on the open ground, I don't know when a lot of dead yellow leaves had accumulated, and those leaves were slowly accumulating, and they seemed to be slowly rotating.

After a while, a terrifying sight appeared, and the large dead leaf turned into the image of a skull. The two deep-set eye sockets and the wide open mouth were facing the sky, and the black hole made everyone stunned.

The fallen leaves above the skeleton began to spin faster and faster, and finally formed a yellow whirlwind, whistling towards the small hill.

Zhang Yuanshan shouted "not good", hurriedly took out a few pieces of rune paper, and lit them in the direction where the whirlwind came, but to no avail.

"Li Bing", Zhang Yuanshan roared loudly: "You quickly hand over the 'Heart Sutra' to me, I will hold it here, you immediately run to the wordless monument in Yan's tomb, face the small hill, and stand still." ”

Li Bing didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly took out the 'Finger Blood Heart Sutra' and handed it to Zhang Yuanshan. Zhang Yuanshan held the 'Finger Blood Heart Sutra' in his hand and sat cross-legged facing the whirlwind direction. Strange to say, the whirlwind seemed to have stopped moving forward, and only kept spinning in place.

But after a while, the whirlwind began to reverse, and it came towards the hill again. Zhang Yuanshan roared: "Li Bing, what are you still standing stupidly for? Hurry up and run over there. ”

Only then did Li Bing react, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the single phoenix wordless monument, leaning on the stone monument, standing motionless facing the small hillside.

Zhang Yuanshan yelled at Zhao Wan'er again: "Miss Zhao, you hurry up and stand behind me and look in the direction of Li Bing." ”

Zhao Wan'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood behind Zhang Yuanshan according to her words, her eyes firmly fixed on Li Bing's direction.

Zhang Yuanshan shouted: "Men are yang, women are yin." Yin and yang are mutually reinforcing each other, looking up at Tuyao, looking down at Hanzhang, high and low positioning, so the two instruments are born. Positive and negative, three clear returns, resentment can be eliminated, and the yin wind can be rested! ”

Strange to say, the whirlwind disappeared suddenly, and when everyone looked at the flat ground, the image of the skull was gone, leaving only the yellow fallen leaves all over the ground.

Zhang Yuanshan called everyone together, and Qi Qi bowed down on the hillside to the place where Qian Yiduo had dug just now, and said that the group was not robbing the tomb, but in order to return the funeral bronze mirror specially given to Yan Niangniang by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

The trees around them also stopped shaking, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er asked puzzledly, "Brother Zhang, why did you ask the two of us to go to those two places just now?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan smiled bitterly and replied: "In a hurry just now, I didn't have time to ask in detail, so I could only gamble." This cemetery is guarded by the Yin and Yang Array, and just now we touched the undead of the tomb owner, so the undead drove the Array of the Two Rituals and blew the Yin Wind to invade us. The solution is to reconcile yin and yang, and one boy must suppress the extreme yin place, and the other virgin suppresses the extreme yang place, then the two instruments can be broken. ”

Zhang Yuanshan suddenly smiled slyly: "If Miss Zhao and Li Bing are brothers, as long as one of them is not a child, then I'm afraid that the corpses of the four of us are lying on this small hillside now, hehe!" ”

Zhao Wan'er's face turned red, she took a sip, twisted her head and stopped talking.

Qian Yiduo joked without smiling: "Li Bing, I didn't expect you to be in your 30s and still be a child, it's really rare, unimaginable!" ”

Li Bing took out a cigarette, stuffed it into Qian Yiduo's mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Qian, shut up, don't laugh at your brother." Let's go back quickly, maybe Sister Shi and Zen Master Kongming have arrived. ”

Just when everyone was about to turn back, Zhao Wan'er suddenly exclaimed: "Where is the bronze mirror?" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, the bronze mirror was missing. Li Bing said nervously: "We were all frightened by that strange thing just now, and we even thought about going back immediately, but we forgot the mission we came here today. It's miserable now, not to mention that the grave has been dug and the mirror has been returned, even the bronze mirror is gone, it's terrible! ”
