The big red coffin fell off the cliff in the billowing smoke and dust, and a few cracks broke out on the surface of the coffin, but it did not fall apart.

Guo Blind shouted: "Come down, this cliff is not a vertical slope, it is not difficult to come down." ”

I grabbed the rope and was about to go down, but Huang Yan'er shouted: "There is a wounded person here, you will go down first?" ”

"Okay, you go first." I retreated to the cave and waved my hand for them to go down first.

Huang Yan'er scolded and scolded, tied the hanging rope to herself, and then shouted impatiently: "What are you doing here, help people over!" ”

Wang Hai was also scolded and embarrassed, and asked me to help the injured Zhou Cheng up.

After Huang Yan'er and Zhou Cheng went down from the cliff, Wang Hai also went down the rope, his eyes never dared to look at the dark cave, because the temperature in the cave became colder and colder, and there was a faint sound of wind coming from the cave that was obviously sealed.

As I descended from the trunk, I couldn't help but glance into the cave with curiosity, and I was so frightened that I grabbed the rope and slid down.

I don't know if I was wrong, but I saw a white light and shadow flickering in the swamp where the big black cat was lying, and I could faintly hear the sound of silt bubbling.

After reaching the ground, Guo Blind and Huang Cripple had already untied the hemp rope tied to the big red coffin, and a few small yellow flags were planted around them that they didn't know what they were for.

"Are you alright?" Guo asked blindly.

"It's fine." I shook my head and replied, seeing that Zhou Cheng was leaning against a moss stone not far away at this time, sweating profusely.

Huang Cripple coughed at this time and asked, "Brother Guo, the last four words of the Yin text on this coffin probably mean not to open the coffin, and I don't know much about the first four words." ”

Guo Blind said: "At the entrance to the underworld, don't open the coffin." ”

When Huang Cripple heard this, he laughed and said: "Who has such a big breath, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue, and he dares to say such a thing as the entrance to the underworld, and he wants to block the door with a coffin to prevent Lord Yama from coming out." ”

Huang Lame couldn't help laughing for a while after he finished speaking, he glanced at the blind Guo with a serious face on the side and asked, "What's the matter, brother?" ”

Guo Blind said with a dark face: "This Yin text was engraved by my master." ”

"Isn't it?" Huang Cripple was taken aback by Guo Blind's words, except for Lao Xiucai, anyone who carved these eight words he felt was pretending to be a ghost, but Lao Xiucai was different, he was Guo Blind's master, he was not afraid of Guo Blind, but he couldn't disrespect Lao Xiucai.

Guo Blind's master is an old Xiucai, and this is a well-known thing in Futuling. As for Lao Xiucai, few people in Futuling know him, only know that he is a foreigner, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he suddenly came to Futuling, wearing a down-and-out shirt, carrying a bag of books on his back, and without anyone's consent, he lived in a dilapidated Taoist temple in the west of Futuling.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, there was no grain harvest in the field, and there were people fleeing the famine everywhere, everyone thought that Lao Xiu was the one who had fled the famine, and it wouldn't take long to leave, but he didn't expect that he would live in the Broken Daoist Temple, and he lived for decades.

Lao Xiucai almost never interacted with people in the decades he lived in Futuling, but everyone knew that he was a strange person, no matter what evil happened in the mountains, he would settle as soon as he appeared, and later some people said that they saw him flying in the woods on the mountain, and they saw him enter the forbidden land of Futuling and come out unharmed.

The villagers spread the word that Lao Xiu was a god, and the people of several villages pooled money to renovate the Taoist temple for him and offered him as a living immortal.

As time goes by, everyone becomes more and more convinced of the speculation that Lao Xiu is an immortal, because Lao Xiu has lived too long.

The Qing Dynasty fell in 1911, and Lao Xiucai, as a former Qing Xiucai, was at least 20 years old until the Qing Dynasty collapsed, not to mention that the imperial examination had been abolished five years before the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

When he first arrived at Futuling, an old villager asked Lao Xiucai how old he was, and Lao Xiucai replied that he was seventy-six years old, and that it was only 1930 years, and more than 30 years later, Lao Xiucai was at least 100 years old, but his body was still healthy, and he was not sick or sick.

Lao Xiucai lived in the Taoist temple of Futuling, and had been worshipping Shili and Eight Villages to keep one side safe, until 1967, that is, the second year of the ten-year catastrophe, he was forced to leave.

At that time, all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods had to be defeated, and Lao Xiucai bore the brunt of it, and was blocked on the mountain by a large number of teenagers in the county. Although the people of Futuling also responded to the call, they knew that Lao Xiu was a person with real skills, and they were powerless to stop them, so they could only watch as Lao Xiucai was tied to an ox cart and circled around the county seat.

The person who escorted Lao Xiucai on the street that year was the father of the village chief Li Fugui, Li Wuye.

It is said that a strange thing happened that day, that is, wherever the old Xiucai's ox cart went, there were people kneeling on the side of the road, some of those people were blind fortune tellers in the county, some were famous rich families, and more were unfamiliar faces, they were all older, and they were well-dressed and decent, and they knelt on the side of the road and did not even dare to lift their heads.

People say that Li Wuye's martial arts are world-famous, and he is very lofty, and at this time, in response to the call of the times, he arrested the fake gods that everyone in the county worshipped and paraded the streets, so many people knelt because they were afraid of him.

The triumphant Li Wuye said that on the first day, he would parade the streets, and on the second day, he would let the old man confess, let him tell all the previous methods of deceiving the villagers, and ask him to tell him about killing a woman from a foreign country under the pretext of killing a woman from a foreign country.

Li Wuye asked everyone to throw a stone at Lao Xiucai, but no one dared to do this, only a naughty child threw a stone at Lao Xiucai.

The next day, Li Wuye was shot and killed on the way to the Taoist temple, and his body was hung on a big tree.

It is rumored that the child who threw stones at Lao Xiucai also fell into the water and died that day.

And Lao Xiucai disappeared from that day and never came back.

The matter of Lao Xiucai killing a foreign woman in Li Wuye's mouth is likely to be related to the big red coffin we are facing today.

Guo Blind looked at the big red coffin in front of him in a daze, and remembered something that was spread around back then.

At that time, New China had not yet been established, and he fled from Henan to Futuling with his father, and he often heard the villagers of Mingyue Village talk about the miraculous things about the old Xiucai on the Houshan Taoist Temple, and his heart was extremely worshipful.

Later, a plague swept through Futu Mountain, infecting thousands of people and killing many others.

Someone went to the mountain to ask for help, asking Lao Xiucai to stop the plague, but Lao Xiucai said that he couldn't take action, if he rescued him, not only would he lose his life, but also could cause a catastrophe in the future.

The people of ten miles and eight villages surrounded the Taoist temple and begged for Lao Xiucai to save the suffering, and finally Lao Xiucai had no choice but to promise to start to relieve the disaster at night, but to leave a few people to help.

No one knows what happened that night, and the villagers who were left behind by Lao Xiucai did not return home until noon the next day, and they did not say a word when they returned home, as if they were very frightened.

Lao Xiucai told them not to tell anyone what happened that day, otherwise their lives would be lost, and this matter has been concealed.

More than ten years later, one of the villagers who participated in the operation that night was seriously ill in bed, and when he was dying, he told his children what happened that night - Lao Xiucai led them to suffocate a woman from another village in the water.

The woman was submerged in water for more than ten minutes, and by the time she was fished up, she was already dead.

Then, Lao Xiucai asked them to nail the woman in a large coffin, but something terrifying happened, the coffin was halfway nailed, but the woman's cry was faintly heard inside.

The woman cried and grabbed the coffin, frightened and frightened, she didn't know if she was hitting the coffin with her head, and the coffin board was clattering, everyone realized that the woman was not an ordinary person, and she didn't drown after soaking in the water for more than ten minutes.

But Lao Xiucai is even more unusual in the hearts of everyone, he is a living immortal, and he did it to save the villagers.

The villagers have also heard of the method of human sacrifice, in many places will use live people to sacrifice to the sky when there is a drought for rain, to sacrifice to the river god with boys and girls during floods, and to feed mandrills with babies in mountain disaster areas.

I don't know if no one knows or no one dares to say what happened later, and the coffin doesn't know where it was buried.

This matter is clearer than Guo Blind, because Huang Cripple is a few years older than Guo Blind, and his father is also one of the actors who participated in the living sacrifice that year.

But whether it was cruel or not, the villagers sang praises to Lao Xiucai, because the plague was really gone.
