。 When I turned my head, I saw a strange smile on the woman's face. After a while, I heard her say a few words "good", and then laughed a few times. The laughter was terrible, and it sounded like I was being scratched by a cat's paws.

"Come and sit down." The woman laughed miserably, then fell silent and said to me.

I returned to her, but I didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he squatted down, took a slight breath, ran the fetal breath meridian, pressed the palm of his hand on her wrist, and the magic trick flowed, and the nail on her wrist was lifted out.

The woman was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing?" ”

I didn't answer, and my palm swept out, sucking out the rest of the nails that had been sealed around her wrists and ankles.

The woman suddenly laughed: "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?" ”

I glanced at her, put away the four copper nails, and saw that the nails were engraved with Taoist charms, purple and black, and they were more than three inches long. The nails were drawn from her body, but there was not a trace of blood.

There was an extra bloody hole in the woman's wrist and ankle, and there was no blood gushing out, only a little blood oozing slightly. Her hands and feet were free. Twitched, maybe it had been sealed for too long, but for a while it couldn't be moved.

"This is the Gathering Thunder Nail of our Shenxiao Sect, not an evil thing. Put it away. Listen to the woman.

I didn't say much, put the nail away, looked at the chain wrapped around her, and said, "This is a bit troublesome, it will take some time." "Carefully look at the forbidden patterns on the chain, memorize them one by one, and deduce them.

After a while, I heard the woman say, "I've been waiting for all these years, and there is no need to rush it." ”

I was slightly startled, and then I saw that the woman twitched her arm, as if she wanted to move, but she had been suppressed for too long, and as soon as her arm was lifted a little, she fell back again.

"Young man, give me a hand."

I stepped forward and helped her to sit up, but her waist was tightly wrapped around the chain, and the chain tightened her waist and abdomen slightly, and the chain seemed to crunch her bones. She didn't notice it, turned her head indifferently, and said, "Young man, did you see that sarcophagus?" ”

I answered, and when I saw that she was strangled by the chains, I said, "You should lie back first, and I will find a way to break the ban." "Help her to lie down on the ground.

Just listen to her: "You don't ask what happened back then, that's it!" ”

I know what she says about this "it". Referring to the sarcophagus, he glanced back and asked, "Is it the evil cult that sealed the town inside?" ”

The woman looked at me and said, "You're smart." There was a pause. He added, "But since you are a burial doorman, it is not surprising that you can think of this." ”

As she spoke, she struggled to raise a hand, and then patted it on the ground: "Here...; …; It is the place where our Shenxiao Sect has suppressed evil for generations, and the Golden Fire Heavenly Ding Evil Array. ”

This is not much different from what I had guessed before, and I pondered it for a while. Puzzled: "What's the beehive up there?" ”

I heard the woman say, "What hive?" His eyebrows furrowed, with some anger, "That's the underground palace of our Shenxiao Sect in Cloud Mountain!" ”

Listening to what she said, I realized that there was a so-called "hive" on the top. In fact, it was built by the ancestors of the Shenxiao Sect, and this place has already passed through Wuling Mountain and reached the hinterland of Yunwu Mountain. This underground palace was built on this pure yang land, and there have been Shenxiao disciples who have been stationed here for generations, in order to guard the evil things underneath.

But the previous Shenxiao Underground Palace was not like a beehive as it is now, and the scale was much smaller, just a rather ordinary cave.

I heard the woman say, "Sit down and write down what I say." ”

I nodded in response, listening to her intermittently talk about what had happened back then.

That was exactly thirty years ago, and the Shenxiao sect at that time, like most Taoist sects, withered away. Tends to decline. There are only more than 20 people in the entire sect, inside and outside, nested in a rather dilapidated Taoist temple in Wuling Mountain.

At that time, the Shenxiao Sect was not like Maoshan and the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao who often wandered around and did some magic to punish demons and exorcise evil spirits, so they were not famous in contemporary times, plus they had been living in seclusion in a remote place like Wuling Mountain, and they could not find any heirs at all, and there were fewer and fewer young disciples in the sect.

This Du Hailan has been fatherless and motherless since she was a child. He was adopted and raised by his master, not only is he gifted and intelligent, but he also has a very high level of understanding, and he is the best among the younger generations in the sect, and is valued by the elders in the sect.

However, it wasn't until she was twenty-four years old that she learned from his master that there was an underground palace in the hinterland of Yunwu Mountain. There is also a place under the dungeon to suppress evil, and there is an extremely powerful demon in it.

"What's in there?" I looked back at the sarcophagus and couldn't help but ask.

I heard the woman laugh and say, "That's an old witch!" It's a 'Gu Woman'! ”

I was stunned for a moment. I've never heard of a Gu woman. After a long while, the woman's emotions calmed down a little, and said: "Actually, I don't know if that thing is called 'Gu Woman', but there is a sentence in the records of the sect's classics 'Gu Woman does evil, gathers thunder and imprisons her', so we call her a Gu Woman in our sect." ”

I tossed and turned in my heart, but I couldn't think of what a "Gu woman" was, if Qingzi's dead woman was here. With her well-read momentum, she may be able to know some of the roots.

After thinking about it for a while, I pondered the word "Gu", and suddenly thought of those girls fighting each other in the pit. It's a way to raise Gu, and my heart beats a few times, thinking if this is a Gu girl. The art of raising Gu has existed since ancient times, especially in the area of Miaojiang and Xiangxi, until now, Gu art is still spread from time to time.

But when I think about it deeply, I feel that it is wrong. Although Gu magic is strange, it has its limits after all. Let's just say that it is the Golden Silkworm Gu, which is known as the king of Gu, this thing may be lawless among civilians, but if it encounters the Lei Fa of the Shenxiao Sect, it will be a dead word. Besides, if she is really just a Gu girl, how can she be sealed in the sarcophagus for many years and not die.

I heard the woman say: "The sect's record of this old demon woman is only few, and the language is unknown. This passage was written down by an ancestor of the Honmen more than 500 years ago. ”

I listened to it with awe. can be sealed for hundreds of years without dying. Except for the Yin Patrol people, it can only be corpses or spirits and demons, which ordinary people can't do.

After pondering for a while, he said suspiciously: "The ancestor of the sect back then, why did he seal that thing, can't he get rid of it?" ”

Like some ordinary yin corpses or mountain spirits, a Taoist pure yang fire can burn them to ashes. But at the level of corpse evil, it is not something that ordinary pure yang fire can burn. To completely eradicate it, a higher path is needed.

Sometimes the mage who exorcises evil spirits is not strong enough to make this step, so he can only change the method. For example, the Taoist Fusha formation is used to seal the evil spirit, or like the burial door, the burial array is sealed to dispel the resentment of evil spirits.

I heard the woman say: "Judging from the records of that ancestor, as long as the four of them jointly used the Nine Heavens Falling Thunder Spell of the Sect, they could burn the old witch to ashes. It's just that we Taoists have never done anything to kill them all, so we spared the old demon woman's life and suppressed her here. At this, a wry laugh erupted.

I also heard it with emotion. In fact, among the many Dao Sects, the Maoshan Sect and the Heavenly Master Dao are the heaviest in killing, and whenever they encounter evil spirits, they often don't say a word, and go forward to kill them directly. Speaking of which, this was originally against Taoism's modest and tranquil, but now, it is the two factions that are the best mixed.

Just as he was thinking about it, he only heard the woman say: "When the ancestors sealed the demon sin, it was the time when the Shenxiao Sect was in full swing, and where would I have thought that the sect would fall to this field, and our descendants couldn't even seal a demon woman." ”

"How did this thing get out?" I've seen the sarcophagus before, and the chains wrapped around the coffin are all broken, and they must have been forced out of the coffin by that thing.

I heard her sigh and said, "I heard Master say that in fact, as early as a hundred years ago, there was a problem with the Golden Fire Heavenly Ding Array here. ”
