The Ancient City of the Desert Chapter 65 The Secret of Ming Tu
"Patriarch, what the hell is going on?" The fourth master barely stood up and asked.
"Don't talk yet, come and show me your injuries." After Patriarch Bai finished speaking, he put his hand on the wrist of the fourth master, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, poured out a few small pills for the fourth master to eat, and asked the fourth master, "Who are these?" ”
The fourth master hurriedly said: "Patriarch, these three are Xia Nan, Shusheng and Professor Xu, all of whom are friends I met by chance, and they have helped me a lot along the way, and they can be regarded as brothers who share life and death." After the fourth master finished speaking, he pointed to Linglong again, and then said: "This is Linglong girl, the granddaughter of Old Man Cao, and the other two are smooth brothers." Patriarch, these are all friends who share life and death with me. ”
Patriarch Bai nodded at us and said, "They are all young talents, very good. Mr. Cao and the old man are old friends, and Miss Linglong went back to say hello to him on my behalf. With that, he looked around and continued, "I know you have a lot of questions in your mind. Since they are not outsiders, the old man will tell you. This involves some internal information of the Holy Dragon Sect, and after talking about it today, don't spread it. ”
Seeing that we should all inherit it, Patriarch Bai said: "Back then, Xu Fu founded the Holy Dragon Sect to protect a secret. This secret is so important that for the sake of safety, the secret was recorded on two silk books and placed in a treasure box along with a holy object. It may be that the first patriarch Long Fengdu felt that it was not enough to be safe, so he placed the silk book in two places, and the holy relics also disappeared with Xu Fu's eastward crossing. These two silk books and that holy relic are very important to our Holy Dragon Sect. One of them should be in the dormitory of Old Man Long, while the other piece is kept by Ming Tu, the proud disciple of Old Man Long. However, it is rumored that Ming Tu later left for some reason, and the whereabouts of the silk book are unknown. ”
"This is similar to the information found by our Cao family. Patriarch Bai, my grandfather also inquired that Ming Tu's predecessor may be the high priest of this chieftain tribe, so he organized this operation. Linglong said.
"Senior?! Hmph, this obstacle is not worthy. Patriarch Bai glanced at Ming Tu, who was still in a kneeling position, with disdain, and then said: "The old man checked all the classics and records in the sect, and only then did he know that Ming Tu did not take the order back then, but absconded from the religion. Back then, this evil obstacle was greedy, and he wanted to collect silk books and holy relics, and go alone to unlock the secrets guarded by the Holy Dragon Sect. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the old man Long, he was desperate, took the next silk book, fled to the Western Regions, and used his ability to become the high priest of the chieftain tribe. As a result, he met the chief of the Holy Lord. The two have fought all their lives, and they are equal. In the end, he had a premonition that his time was running out, and instructed his cronies to build a stone tower. This stone tower is very interesting, and it is known as the messenger of the divine realm, which can be psychic, get the guidance of the gods, build the stone tower according to certain specifications, and collect soul jade to build a jade bed, and vainly ask for the corpse to be dissected into an immortal. I just didn't expect it......"
"I didn't expect the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind? It was the one who built the stone tower, and it was Ming Tu who was lying on the soul jade bed. "I slowly began to sort out all kinds of information fragments, and under the explanation of Patriarch Bai, I gradually got closer to the truth.
Patriarch Bai glanced at me, nodded and said, "Yes, I have calculated thousands of things, and I have missed Ming Tu." ”
"This is stupid enough, let's not talk about whether the stone tower and the soul jade bed can really make him an immortal, even if he can, with such a big enemy as Ming Tu, can he be successfully autopsied? Isn't this a clear waiting for death? The scholar said.
"It's not to blame, it's to blame Ming Tu for being too cunning. When the stone tower was first built, Ming Tu used trickery. He paralyzed him with a trick of death, and then quietly hid in the shadows, waiting to see what happened. He cut off the wings of the high priest's faction, and then lay down boldly in the stone tower. As a result, Ming Tu blended into the stone pagoda and disguised himself as a supreme priest, in a vain attempt to change his life against the sky and hope for eternal life. Patriarch Bai said.
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest? This old boy's heart is so dark. So, can the soul cloud bed really give people eternal life? The scholar's eyes lit up.
"The construction of this stone tower and the setting of the mechanism are all techniques of the chieftain tribe, and the old man doesn't know much about it. But it is true that the soul jade bed can keep the corpse from decaying. Moreover, Ming Tu is not as simple as occupying the stone pagoda of Sugi. You must have been to the top of the stone tower, where there is a sitting corpse, have you ever seen it? Patriarch Bai asked.
"Yes, that's right, Patriarch Bai. There is indeed a depression on the fourth layer of the wall, and there is a sitting corpse inside, and there is a jade plaque of our Holy Dragon Sect on the neck, I thought that corpse was Ming Tu. The fourth master said.
"That's the Confession." Patriarch Bai said.
"Woo Woo?!" Everyone opened their mouths wide in surprise this time.
After Mingtu infiltrated the stone tower, he disguised himself as a supreme and began to transform the structure of the stone tower. According to Ming Tu, although this stone pagoda can keep the body from decaying, it will take a long time to achieve the corpse to become an immortal. In addition to the special environment required for autopsy, it also needed to change one's life against the sky to fight against the catastrophe. The autopsy into an immortal itself is against the sky, and at a certain stage, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe, and Ming Tu is very clear about this. He is very shrewd in calculation, that is, he designs a formation to fool around. Patriarch Bai looked at the fourth master.
"Could it be that forbidden art?" The fourth master said in surprise.
"Yes, exactly. Ming Tu carved out a new space on the top floor of the stone tower, the fourth floor, and placed a stand-in in the yin position. What's even more hateful is that this stand-in is actually a stunner. Patriarch Bai gritted his teeth and trembled.
"Patriarch Bai, Ming Tu is really hateful, he actually used such a yin method to deal with Zhu Li." Seeing that the few of us were confused, the fourth master explained to us: "The Holy Dragon Sect once had some Dao techniques, either because of the damage of the means, or because the power was too strong, they were all listed as forbidden techniques. However, there are still some disciples who have learned some forbidden techniques through certain means. As the proud disciple of the first generation of the Holy Dragon Patriarch, Ming Tu will inevitably have some. I didn't expect him to use this technique. The corpse we saw on the fourth layer of the stone wall was not Mingtu, but Zhuyi. According to legend, there is a technique that can change one's life against the sky in order to gain eternal life. The method is to form a great array of life and death in a specific position, find the position of the yin in the formation according to a certain direction, and then place a person who has just died here as a stand-in, and at the same time stab the eight characters of the substitute's birthday on the back of the corpse, and then seal the left, middle and right veins of the corpse with mercury, and use the soul sealing nail to fix the crown chakra, eyebrow chakra, throat chakra, heart chakra, navel chakra, and bottom chakra in the seven chakras, and finally nail the soul nailing nail to the burning chakra. In this way, the soul in the body of the substitute could not be dispersed through the three veins, and under the action of the soul nail, it constantly tried to gather to the position of the burning chakra on the top of the head, but it was fixed in the position of the six chakras by the soul nail, and it was difficult to move. As long as the body is kept intact and stayed for a certain period of time, the formation will continue to instill the aura within a radius of tens of kilometers, recast the three souls, recreate the seven spirits, and enter the state of half-immortals. Since the body of the substitute has no breath, but the soul cannot be dispersed, the heavens will always think that the substitute is in a state of checkmate. In this way, the substitute will hide his own qi vein, and successfully deceive the heavens, but he will not be discovered by the heavenly dao and will not be subjected to the heavenly calamity, and he only needs to practice for a few more decades before he can soar into a human immortal. In this way, it is far stronger than the method of autopsy into immortals used by Sumi. ”
"Ming Tu is simply a brute, he actually uses such a vicious formation to fight political opponents and seek eternal life." After listening to the fourth master's explanation, Lao Xu was so angry that he choked.
I suddenly realized why there was a Holy Dragon Jade Plaque in the corpse of Zhu Li. It seems that Sumiku is indeed not Ming Tu's opponent. Ming Tu faked his death and hid in the dark, and when he built the stone tower and lay down in it with peace of mind and waited for the corpse to become an immortal, he sneaked into the stone tower, arranged the life and death array, and then disguised himself as a priest and gave instructions to the nobles of the chieftain tribe, asking for the construction of the fourth floor and the underground palace, and set up the yin position, and then disposed of the real corpse according to the forbidden technique, disguised the corpse of the monk according to his own appearance, and hung his jade plate on the corpse. In this way, all the cronies and craftsmen thought that it was Ming Tu in the pubic position. Originally, the soul jade bed was used to lock the body from decay, waiting to become an immortal, so the entire stone tower mechanism is used to prevent outsiders, and the cronies of the Sui always thought that their king would be reborn and returned, and they would come to visit the Yu Li every once in a while, and after seeing the "resurrection" of the Ming Tu disguised as the Zhu Li, they were naturally convinced. In this way, Ming Tu obtained the identity of Sumi, and put the real Sumiku in the yin position as a stand-in to be stared at by the Heavenly Dao, and he secretly absorbed the surrounding anger on the soul jade bed. However, the coolies of the chieftain tribe worked day and night to build an underground palace for Ming Tu, so as to prepare for the cultivation of the body before the ascension after completing the formation.
After listening to my thoughts, everyone nodded in agreement, but the scholar asked, "Mr. Xia's brain is aura, and what he said is very reasonable." But why put two boxes of treasures next to the corpse? Could it be that Ming Tu found out in his conscience and felt sorry for his former opponent and gave him a funeral gift? ”
"Do you think Ming Tu is such a particular person? I'm willing to bet those two boxes of treasures weren't meant to be used as a funeral companion for the funeral. Xia Ye, you have a good brain, what do you think is going on? Ali asked me.
I thought about it for a moment and asked Ali a question: "You have been to many ancient tombs, what do you think is the most dangerous in ancient tombs?" ”
"Needless to say, it is naturally the organs in the tomb, many of which are very hidden but deadly, and if you are not careful, you will die. Of course, if you walk a lot at night, you will also encounter dirty things. In a small part of the tombs, the ancient corpses have undergone corpse transformation, which is very powerful, and they are not afraid of knives and guns, once..."
"Well, you're right, the mechanism and the corpse transformation are very powerful, but they can be cracked or prevented, and they can't be said to be the most powerful. What really scares people and can't be guarded against is people. I interrupted Arley.
"Master Xia, what do you mean, people in the ancient tomb are the most terrifying, powerful, and deadly?" Ali asked.
I asked the scholar for a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, talent is the deadliest, and people can become killing machines, and they only need a catalyst." And those two boxes of treasures are the catalysts that Ming Tu carefully prepared for trespassers. ”
