Chapter 13: An Unusual Tomb
With the screams of the madmen on the construction site, Zhanyang and Curator Xu came to the side of the grave.
Zhanyang asked: "Director Xu, tell me how the three workers had an accident at that time?" ”
Curator Xu sighed: "Originally, the site was excavated and cleaned up, only the tomb door was not opened, so I asked the three of them to help, and they opened the tomb door after inserting iron bars into the crack of the door and knocking down the tap stone behind the door." ”
"After opening the tomb door, I saw the well-preserved coffin inside, and I was very excited to see that it was in such a good state of preservation, so I turned my head and climbed up to the grave to find a phone to report to my superiors, and I forgot to tell the three of them to leave the scene."
"As a result, out of curiosity, one of the workers took a small shovel from the head of the coffin to pry the coffin lid, because hundreds of years have passed, and it is estimated that the coffin nails have been rusted and loosened, and he actually pried open a crack, and then the three of them fell headlong at the door of the tomb."
Director Xu shook his head when he said this: "Then I called the emergency number and sent him to the hospital; Hey, I was negligent and didn't order them to leave the scene in time. ”
At this time, the madman with a dirty face also came over; After listening to Director Xu's speech, Zhanyang looked at the madman: "Let's go and have a look?" ”
The madman looked at Wu Shengnan again, and gritted his teeth: "Okay!" Go down! As long as you can avoid this crazy cousin! ”
Without waiting for Wu Shengnan to have a seizure, the madman jumped off the grave.
Director Xu glared at Wu Shengnan, and hurriedly explained to Zhanyang: "Xiao Wu is so straight-tempered and noisy, but his enthusiasm for work is still worthy of recognition, Mr. Ling, don't mind." ”
Zhanyang looked at Wu Shengnan with a wicked smile: "It's okay, stick to taking medicine, don't give up treatment." With that, he jumped off the grave.
Wu Shengnan glared at Zhanyang below, muttering, "Don't come up." ”
Below the pit, Zhanyang and the madman were observing five meters away from the tomb gate, and they did not dare to move forward rashly.
Zhan Yang pointed to the tomb door not far ahead: "From a distance, the symbol on the head of the coffin looks like a soul locking talisman. ”
The madman was surprised: "Soul Locking Talisman? No, whose family buried the family and deliberately locked their souls in it to prevent reincarnation? ”
Zhan Yang thought thoughtfully: "If it is really a soul locking talisman, it may not necessarily be a family member who is buried, and it may also be a conspiracy." ”
The madman nodded: "It's possible, it was a lot of money to build such a brick tomb, it should be a rich or noble family at that time, but not a single burial item was found." ”
"I'll have to try to see if any of the ghosts are really locked, and then we'll take a closer look." Zhanyang said.
Zhanyang touched his body, and then remembered that he didn't bring anything, not even a piece of rune paper, so he asked, "Crazy, did you bring anything?" ”
The madman raised his head and smiled at Wu Shengnan, who was watching above: "Cousin, throw my bag to me." ”
"Okay!" After speaking, Wu Shengnan took a small bag and threw it in the face of the madman.
The madman caught the bag with his face, took out the small bag with an aggrieved face and muttered: "I don't know what I brought." ”
"Well, that's all." As he spoke, the madman took out two crumpled pieces of rune paper and a small bag of cinnabar powder from his bag.
Zhanyang looked helpless: "I said that it would be good if you give me a few copper coins or a handful of peach sawdust, just sprinkle it inside, how safe it is." ”
The madman shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not out to do business, this is still the last time I went out to deliver extra goods, and I just forgot to take it out of my bag, or I will drive back to the store to pick it up for you?" ”
"Hey, forget it, only the stupidest and most dangerous way to do it." As he spoke, Zhanyang took the two crumpled rune papers and cinnabar powder, looked up and asked, "Who has a brush?" Throw another bottle of water down. ”
"Haha, who will bring a brush, what age is it?" Wu Shengnan, who was squatting on it, blinked his eyes and smirked at Zhanyang.
Zhanyang raised his head and looked at Wu Shengnan helplessly: "Eldest sister, can you please give me an ordinary pen and a small piece of cloth that can absorb water?" ”
"Okay, wait." With that, Wu Shengnan ran away.
Soon, Wu Shengnan ran back with a small white cotton cloth, a bottle of mineral water and a ballpoint pen and threw it down for Zhanyang.
Zhanyang tied the cotton cloth to the tip of the ballpoint pen, filled the cap of the mineral water bottle with some cinnabar powder, opened it with water, dipped the ballpoint pen tied with cotton cloth in the cinnabar, and pouted: "Hey, make do with it." ”
Saying that, Zhanyang quickly drew an ordinary ghost-killing talisman and an eye-opening talisman, and then, Zhanyang used the eye-opening talisman to open his yin eyes, and then looked towards the tomb and the surroundings.
"No visible ghosts have been found at this time." Zhanyang said affirmatively.
Then, Zhan Yang pinched the ghost killing talisman and slowly approached the tomb, and when he approached the coffin head at the door of the tomb, Zhan Yang quickly stuffed the ghost killing talisman into the coffin from the crack that had been pried open by the workers before, and then quickly retreated to the madman's side.
The madman and Zhanyang stared nervously at the tomb, and after a few minutes, there was still no movement, Zhanyang breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Director Xu: "There is no yin ghost here, it's okay, you can bring a few flashlights down, you can enter the tomb." ”
Immediately, Wu Shengnan and Curator Xu came to the bottom of the pit with flashlights; Zhanyang saw that Director Xu was still a little jealous, so he took the flashlight from Director Xu's hand: "It's okay, why don't I go in first to see the situation." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wu Shengnan, a heartless girl, holding a big flashlight and bending down first into the tomb.
Zhanyang shook his head helplessly: "This girl, her courage is really fat." With that, he immediately followed the madman.
The burial chamber is very small, and after putting down a coffin, there is not much space, and the three cats shine around with flashlights on their waists, carefully observing.
Zhan Yang quickly determined that the red symbol found outside earlier was a soul locking talisman, and it was not only on the head of the coffin, but also on the entire coffin, as long as it was a gap in the wood splicing, there was a soul locking talisman painted on it.
Zhanyang took off a red sigil, put it down and studied it, and then handed it to the madman: "I think this is painted with red paint mixed with cinnabar powder, maybe it was mixed with rooster blood at that time." ”
The madman let go and studied it for a while, sniffed it with his nose, and nodded in agreement with Zhanyang's point of view.
The two continued to shine with a flashlight, carefully studying the sigils, and suddenly, the madman pointed to the sigils on the coffin: "If you look at each sigil carefully, each one seems to have a small square-shaped pattern, could it be a seal?" ”
Zhanyang heard the madman say this, and approached a charm to look at it carefully.
"It's actually the Nine Old Immortal Capital Seal of Maoshan!"
"What? Maoshan's? The madman was also surprised.
At this time, Wu Shengnan was confused, so he asked, "What are you muttering?" What is the symbol? ”
Zhanyang shook Wu Shengnan with a flashlight: "Give me a smile and I'll tell you." ”
Wu Shengnan's temper suddenly came up again, and he was about to go around from the other side of the coffin, Zhanyang hurriedly stretched out his palm: "Stop, stop!" You stand still, I say. ”
"Hurry!"
"Okay! This soul locking talisman, as the name suggests, is to lock the yin soul and prevent it from moving freely, and it is difficult to find the yin in the outside world. ”
Saying that, Zhan Yang pointed to the coffin with his finger: "Someone painted this thing all over this coffin, which means that the purpose is very simple, that is, to let the ghosts of the dead people in the coffin be trapped in it forever; Moreover, the seal of the Nine Old Immortals on the spell shows that this is the work of an authentic Maoshan Taoist, so it is even more certain that this coffin once trapped the ghost of the deceased for hundreds of years. ”
The madman continued: "As for the Maoshan Taoist priest doing this, it is against common sense, because the principle of the orthodox Taoist priest is to put it simply: if you catch the yin soul who has not gone to the Yin Division, you will definitely send it in, and if you catch the most heinous crime, you will be eliminated directly." So why the Taoist priest of Maoshan must lock this ghost in it, there must be a story. ”
Zhan Yang suddenly thought of something, and frowned: "If this yin soul is trapped for hundreds of years, it will definitely be angry, once it is released, if it harms people's lives, it will directly become a powerful ghost, if this is the case, it will be difficult to do!" ”
When Wu Shengnan heard this, he covered his mouth: "Will the three workers release it unintentionally?" ”
The madman and Zhan Yang thought about it together, and sighed with a sad face: "It seems that nine times out of ten they were released by those three workers, if there is really a resentful ghost rushing out, then the three of them are likely to ...... Can't be saved! ”
Zhanyang shook his head helplessly, and looked at Wu Shengnan with a serious face: "You go out and talk to Director Xu, set up a tent in the grave outside, move the coffin out, and I will open the coffin and confirm it carefully." ”
Wu Shengnan saw Zhanyang and the madman's solemn faces, and knew that things might be very bad, so this time there was no nonsense, and he ran out obediently to report to Director Xu.
After Curator Xu understood the situation, he also looked solemn, although he was shocked by the seriousness of the matter, he immediately arranged for the people on the construction site to remove the coffin and set up the tent.
Zhanyang and the madman temporarily retreated and climbed onto the ground, Zhou Hao saw that the two of them had solemn expressions, knowing that the matter might be quite serious, so he didn't want to ask too much.
Zhanyang stared at the people who set up the tent below in a daze, but his mind was thinking rapidly; Director Xu looked at Zhanyang in a panic at this time: "Mr. Ling, are the three of them really, really hopeless?" ”
The madman saw that Zhanyang was thinking, so he pulled Director Xu aside and explained to him: "People have three souls and seven spirits, called yang souls, which are the foundation of life, and once the yang soul is out of the body for too long, its attributes will become yin, and it will never be able to return to the body, it is called yin soul, and in layman's terms, it is dead." ”
Curator Xu kept nodding his head, anxiously listening to the madman's class.
The madman continued: "If it is an ordinary yin soul that is released, the three of them will only be damaged by the yang soul at most, or a soul will be scattered from the body, but this can be restored through meditation or Taoist spiritualism, but judging from the current situation, it is very likely that there has been a resentful yin soul trapped for hundreds of years, if it is this kind of resentful soul for hundreds of years, I estimate that the yang souls of the three of them will be directly dispersed or seriously injured, and there is no chance to be a yin soul." ”
"Oh my God!" After listening to this, Curator Xu held his head in his hands, his face full of horror.
"Therefore, Zhanyang has to open the coffin and carefully inspect it and confirm it again."
