Chapter 32: The Blue-Faced Fox
I crouched down and took a closer look at the lying nail. The biggest enemy of our line of work is to act recklessly, and for some unknown things, it is better not to act rashly, just look at them without touching them. The third uncle and the dead face also came over.
It was supposed to be a copper nail, blue and black, with a round head and a square body, and two palms long. A green dragon is engraved on the nail body, the claws are flying, and the smelting process is exquisite. The nail cap is as big as a chess piece, and the inscription "well" is engraved on the top. In our industry, there has always been a saying of "painting a well for prison", and the word tic-tac-toe is used in this way, which means to suppress evil. The inscriptions are filled with cinnabar, and although time has passed, the cinnabar is still as bright as new.
"Qinglong Town Nail!" The dead face and the third uncle shouted at the same time. I saw a look of astonishment on the third uncle's face, and even the face of the dead man, who had always been expressionless, was a little stunned.
I couldn't help but ask, "What's that?" "I've never heard of any Qinglong Town nails.
The third uncle looked at the copper nail for a long time, and then said: "Qinglong town nail, smelt with bronze for seven days, Jin Ding Pei Qi for seven days, and then dye with black dog blood for seven days, after seven days of each yang time, and then continue to engrave the tic-tac-toe textual prison, carved spirit pattern, seven hundred and forty-nine days later, and then through the spell refining, cinnabar dyeing, and the secret technique, the process is extremely complicated, the nail is huge, it is a treasure to suppress evil. ”
I realized that the red nails used in our house are made of red copper, and there are also processes for carving incantations and staining with black dog blood, but they are far from being so complicated.
The dead man's face frowned tightly: "Third Master Feng, have you ever used three hundred and sixty Qinglong Town Evil Nails to form a Taiji Diagram, just to trap a coffin?" At this moment, the dead man's face had already counted the number of copper nails, and he didn't know what his eyes were.
The third uncle smiled bitterly: "The Qinglong Town Evil Nail is known as a holy relic to ward off evil spirits, and it is a rare treasure to get one. These three hundred and sixty Qinglong Town nails came out together, not to mention ordinary ghosts, even if there are really immortals in this world, they can only be sealed to death! This kind of thing, don't talk about it, even if you say it, no one will believe it! ”
I listened to the strange words of the two men, and I couldn't help but be more curious about the coffin, so I stood up and avoided the nails, and looked at it carefully for a while.
This coffin is very different from the ones you usually see, it is made extremely thick and rough, and there is no trickery. The coffin was covered with yellow prayers, densely written with prayers for the dead and words of persuasion to abandon evil and follow good. However, it is different from the prayer silk on the lid of Liu Nan's coffin before, the words are like a fly's head, and the color is purple and black, in my eyes, it is obviously written in human blood.
The ink fountain thread is buckled on the warp silk, but the knotting technique is not the ordinary seven-star turnbuckle, but a much more complex technique. The end of the ink fountain line is straightened, and the anti-braking nail that goes directly into the ground firmly holds the entire coffin.
Around the coffin, there are twelve bronze tomb figurines, with hideous expressions, bulging eyes and teeth, I don't know what kind of divine beast it is. In the four corners of the burial chamber, there are four bronze mirrors, three of which are aligned with the coffin, but one is facing the other direction.
I thought it was a little strange, and when I looked in the direction of the mirror, I saw that there was a humanoid sculpture there, made of black stone, standing there facing the stone, as tall and short as an ordinary person, with clothes and hair horns, and the carving was extremely fine, as if it were life. It's just that the strange thing is that this statue is surrounded by iron chains the thickness of children's arms, which looks weird and abnormal.
I couldn't help but walk over and take a look at him. At this glance, I was immediately startled, it turned out that this statue looked like a person from behind, but it was a fox face on the front! If you look closely, the face seems to be made of bronze, and the carving is excellent, especially the pair of eyes, which are simply vivid.
Because it was so real, I stared at it, and I felt creepy and immediately turned my head.
The third uncle and they heard the movement and also came over. Liu Wenchong sighed and said, "This person has a fox face!" The village chief's face was also pale, and he asked tremblingly, "What kind of evil thing is this?" ”
The dead man's face kept squatting on the ground, looking at it inch by inch, and after a long time, he got up and said: "There are many traces of incense and candles, and the place where the Bai family sacrifices every year should be here." ”
The third uncle thought thoughtfully: "The Bai family has lived in seclusion here for many years, is it just to guard this coffin?" ”
The dead man's face circled around the tomb a few times, and said: "These tomb figurines, as well as the four demon mirrors, form an extremely profound formation, which is used to seal the coffin in the town. ”
The third uncle sighed a few times and said, "The three hundred and sixty Qinglong Town nails are still not at ease, what is the origin of this one inside?" Although he laughed, his face turned white.
Liu Wenchong saw that the two of them looked solemn, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and asked, "Mr. Zhong, Third Master Feng, is there a problem with this matter?" Of course, I could hear that he was asking about Lin Wenjing and Liu Nan's ghost girl.
The third uncle frowned and was silent. The dead man's face said: "As long as the coffin is carried into this tomb, with these things in town, no matter how powerful the corpse is, it will not be able to turn over the waves." ”
Liu Wenchong was immediately overjoyed. The village chief was confused, and didn't know what we meant. The third uncle explained: "The feng shui key in the village is locked down, and it should be because of this place. ”
The village chief was shocked and hurriedly asked how to deal with it. The third uncle said that the situation here was strange, and the Bai family had always taken care of it, but now Bai Mei died suddenly, and it was impossible to know the origin of the tomb here. The village chief was worried and said what should be done. The third uncle said that the only way to do this is to nail the nail that jumped out of Qinglong Town back to its original position first, and then watch the after-effects. When the village chief heard the third uncle say this, he finally felt a little at ease.
When we saw that it was getting dark, we returned the way we came. When we returned to Maobi Village, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and we were so hungry that we had a big meal, and then I felt a little relieved.
After that, I wanted to ask the village chief if I could make room for a spare bed, but I was pulled away by the third sister. This whole night, I fell asleep with ups and downs of snoring.
After breakfast the next day, he gathered people and carried two coffins to the Valley of Dog's Teeth. This time we were the only ones who went, after all, the village chief was old, and he was tired yesterday, so he stayed in the village to rest today. Liu Wenchong originally arranged for his mother to stay in the village, but the old woman had to follow, saying that she wanted to see the cheap soil planted with her own eyes.
When the village chief saw that we were going to carry the coffin, they were all a little puzzled, and the third uncle explained it again, saying that it was Bai Mei's last wish to be buried in that tomb.
The village chief and others suddenly realized and expressed their understanding.
After arriving at the tomb, the dead face arranged for someone to park the coffin, but try to stay away from the coffin in the tomb. I heard from the third uncle that the twelve tomb figurines and the four demon mirrors in this tomb have a stronger effect on the evil things than the seven-star soul sealing array under the face of the dead at the beginning. The bodies of Lin Wenjing and Liu Nan were placed here, and there were absolutely no worries.
A group of people came out of the tomb, and the dead face ordered some large stones to be moved, sealed the entrance to the cave, and pulled some vines to cover it, and it was difficult to detect a cave outside.
On the way back to the village, the third uncle kept walking in front of the dead face, and the two talked in a low voice. I was left behind, but I kept staring at the dead old woman, not because she was so attractive, but because I thought there was something strange about her.
On the way here just now, this dead old woman made a fuss all the way, what kind of "cheap species, harmful people", the noise made my head hurt. But as soon as she entered the tomb, the old woman quieted down, and ignored her ghost granddaughter, and stared at the blue-faced fox.
This blue-faced fox is strange to say, I saw it once, and I was creepy once. This thing has a bronze fox face, but it has a pair of black jewel-like eyes, it is like a living thing, extremely weird, just looking at it, I feel a little shaken, I can't help myself.
The old woman kept circling around the fox statue, and I kept staring at her. Later, when she returned to the village from the valley of dog's teeth, the old woman was not noisy, she sat on a chair and was carried by people, and her eyes were always closed. Liu Wenchong and Liu Zi'an's father and son were obviously very pleased with this, and they originally thought that the old lady must be going to make a big fuss.
I was very suspicious, and I always felt that there was something unusual about this old woman.
After returning to the village, all things were over, and the group was over, and after worrying for so many days, they could finally go home with peace of mind. After the third uncle and the dead face discussed, they decided to leave early tomorrow morning. That evening, the village set up a few tables of banquets to see us off.
Liu Wenchong and Liu Zi'an, father and son, were toasted by the villagers one after another, and after a while, their faces turned red and they became drunk. The third uncle is another style, his mouth is the most neat, others come to toast, but in the end, others drink more than him. The dead man's face was not stained with wine, he only drank the tea he brewed, and sat there lonely, and when others saw his dead face, they also took the initiative to go around.
Some other men hired by the Liu family, who have been carrying the coffin all the way to the mountain road these days, are also tired enough, and today the matter is over, and they have a lot of money from the Liu family, and they are all elated, and they are red in the face and red ears.
I was the third sister of the village chief's family and pulled it, and this table was full of girls from the village, pointing and pointing from time to time, saying which man was good-looking and which was strong. In the end, I learned the bad of the third sister, and said that this child is really handsome, come here, you pinch it, I pinch it.
Damn, it's really a doll!
I quickly found an excuse and escaped from the table, squeezed to the third uncle's table, and shouted: "I want to drink!" There was a burst of laughter on the table.
Later, I really drank a small half glass of green fruit wine, which was fine at first, but then I was a little confused, and this wine is really strong. When I was about to go to bed at night, the third sister came to me again and asked me to go and sleep with her. I was so frightened by her snoring that I was lying on my third uncle's bed, pretending to be drunk.
Later, the third uncle came forward and said that he would let this kid sleep here, and the third sister reluctantly left.
Maobi Village is noisy and noisy, and the lights are fading, just like a moment of tranquility on the eve of a storm.
