Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Corpse Bureau

The woman kept her back to Feng Ghost Hand, as if she was motionless, but in fact, it seemed to be blown by a breeze, and slowly retreated, sliding towards Feng Ghost Hand. Feng Ghost was not lightly frightened, he had seen a lot of zongzi, but he had never seen such a thing, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and when he saw the woman retreating, he hurriedly gestured at us, ready to run away.

At this point, he looked at the narrow and dark ghost path, lowered his voice and said, "But when I retreated, it didn't catch up." I've seen a lot of zongzi, and it's the first time I've encountered soft zongzi. ”

Tofu Qi said: "Zongzi is still soft and hard? ”

This statement is also quite fresh, and Feng Ghost Hand saw that we didn't understand, so he explained the doorway. The so-called hard zongzi are the corpses of the corpses in the tomb, they are tangible, so they are called hard zongzi; If the corpse is not metamorphosed and is in the normal stage of decay, the jargon will be directly called 'ancients', taking the homonym of 'bone'. If the corpse is not decaying, well preserved, and there is no corpse, most people still like to call it 'salted fish'.

Soft zongzi refer to things that cannot be touched by ghosts in tombs. In fact, in contrast, tomb robbers would rather encounter hard zongzi than soft zongzi.

Because in the process of long-term tomb robbing, tomb robbers have summed up a lot of ways to deal with hard zongzi, such as wiping the neck and deflating, but it is difficult to deal with the soft zongzi that are formless and cannot be touched.

After Feng Ghost finished speaking, he scolded and said, "It looks like she is still a female zongzi." ”

Tofu is best at scaring himself, he said: "There used to be a saying in our hometown, saying that female ghosts are fierce, and red clothes are wronged, this female ghost wears red clothes, is there any huge grievance?" That's a lot of choking, what do we do now? There is a female ghost in front of you, do you want to go forward? ”

I looked into the grave, and there were strange corpses in a variety of shapes, all twisted and stacked together, with wide black mouths, and some of them with very strange faces. With so many living people being buried, it is no wonder if they are not wronged, and it is inevitable that no one person will be angry and become a wronged ghost in red.

How good is that?

Although Feng Ghost has a lot of experience, it is also the first time he has encountered soft zongzi. Not to mention me and Tofu, there is no theory, no practice at all, and the first time I encounter this kind of thing, it is like a fly without a head. In a hurry, I suddenly remembered something and said, "No. You think, there are female ghosts in front of you, if Wei Nanjing and them get here, they will definitely have the same experience as us, and it stands to reason that they should retreat. ”

Tofu was clever, instantly understood, followed my words and speculated, and said: "But if they didn't come back, there is only one possibility, and that is that they continue to move forward." How do they avoid female ghosts? Could it be that there is some trick to deal with soft zongzi? Or is there some secret passage? Well...... Or, they've ......"

The more Feng Ghost listened, the more ugly his face became, and he clapped his hands with his hands, and anxiously went back and forth in circles.

Tofu came to the same three conclusions as I thought, and I certainly don't want anything to happen to Wei Nanjing. Maybe there's really some secret passage here? It stands to reason that next to the ghost road, there should be another immortal road, could it be that this immortal road is hidden? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look, and the searchlight on my forehead followed the line of sight, and the pillar of light spared a circle, except for the dark stones around me.

At this moment, a strange thing suddenly caught my eye.

It was in the darkness at the top of the burial pit, where there was a large recess. The place was dimly lit, we hadn't paid attention to it before, but now when we looked closely, there was something faintly in the recess. I grabbed Tofu's head and motioned for him to turn on the light, and the two lights merged into one, and the contents were clearly visible in an instant.

It's a weird object.

It resembles a small ding, patina green, with an iron chain wrapped around it, fixed to the top of the burial pit. The small tripod is not big, it is the size of three basketballs, there are three legs under it, and the bottom of the feet is red, as if something has been brushed.

As soon as I saw this Ding, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and some clues flashed by, but it was difficult to grasp. Tofu was carried by me, twisting my chin to break away, and said in my mouth: "Let go, let go, don't use my head as a flashlight." There is a small tripod there, it's really strange, put the tripod on the burial pit, could it be used to cook human flesh? ”

Boiling human flesh? The three words tofu reminded me in an instant, and the fleeting clue was immediately recalled by me.

Grandpa's work diary, I sorted it out, and it is broadly divided into five parts. The first part is his own mushroom digging experience, interspersed with explanations of various techniques. The second part is some introduction, which tells some strange things about the past and present in the tomb robbery circle, similar to history. The third part records Yang Fang's ability to look at the tomb and watch the mountains and waters. The fourth part is an introduction to the Ming artifacts, which records many unique methods for identifying the grade of the Ming artifacts, and the fifth part talks about the internal situation and structure of the mausoleum.

Therefore, I categorized my grandfather's work notes as experience, history, feng shui, ming tools, and situation.

In the chapter on the situation, such a 'corpse raising bureau' is recorded. This was used as a means to guard the mausoleum. The process is to add a small tripod above the burial pit. This tripod is exquisite, it must be a bronze tripod, and the red cinnabar is smeared under the tripod, because cinnabar can suppress ghosts, so the ghosts in the burial pit cannot leave the burial pit because of the cinnabar top suppression on the head.

These ghosts who were buried and died gathered in one place, and their grievances were overwhelming, and finally they all accumulated on the small tripod above, and these grievances were like flames, cooking the things in the tripod.

What's in Dingli?

There can be a lot of attention to this, there are chickens, dogs, and people in Dingli.

I don't know what will happen to the dogs, but I know the chickens. It is to take a big rooster, tie it to its mouth, and put it alive into the small ding. After a long time, it will naturally starve to death, in this process, the chicken will be cooked by resentment, and eventually it will become a 'black feather ghost chicken', it will open its mouth to crow, scream, but there are living people in the tomb, it will be pulled out of the soul by its cry and die, it is very terrible, this is a bureau set up for tomb robbers.

I said the doorway of this, tofu smacked his tongue, and said: "It's too cruel, there is still this kind of 'ghost mechanism', Lao Feng, it seems that your ancestor didn't bless you." "I listened to the ridicule of tofu, and couldn't help but think of the incense that burned three long and two short, and I could only sigh bad luck for a while, but at this time, what to say about three long and two short will only make everyone's hearts more bottomless, so I didn't mention it.

Feng Ghost didn't care about the joke of tofu, he heard me mention this, and immediately seemed to grasp a glimmer of hope, his expression was happy, and said: "Since you know the origin of this bureau, do you know if there is any way to crack it?" ”

I thought about it and couldn't help but shake my head, although it was recorded at the time, there was no solution in it. It is said that if you want to raise a corpse, you must kill 3,000 people and be buried, and the owner of the tomb must be a powerful person, otherwise it will be difficult to raise a corpse. When encountering this tomb, if there are no one or two capable people around to help, you need to leave quickly.

Hearing this, Feng Ghost said, "What kind of capable person do you need?" ”

"A Taoist who specializes in exorcism." I didn't believe that there were such people before, but now it seems that there must be a way if there are ghosts, but there are too many people in the world who are deceived and deceitful. Even if there is, it is far from quenching the thirst of the near.

Tofu estimated that he was worried about the curse, and said to me: "No, we can't return in vain, if you don't figure it out this time, you will one day follow your father's old path." Is there no other way? Is this a chicken or a dog? ”

Feng Ghost looked at the end of the ghost road and said, "Probably neither a chicken nor a dog, in that ding, it is a person who cooks." ”

Otherwise, how to say that it is a veteran, Feng Ghost Hand immediately figured out the truth. If the expectation is good, the red-clothed ghost he saw should be a humanoid ghost cooked by resentment, so it can be seen that Dingli should be a human. It is said that when a person is boiled, only the head is boiled, and while the person is alive, a hole is opened in the top of the person's head and cinnabar is poured into it.

Cinnabar can trap people's souls in human brains, and on the seventh day of filling cinnabar, they will cut off people's heads and throw them into the ding, which is extremely cruel.

The ghosts raised by this method are very powerful, and when they encounter living people, they will never die.
