When I saw my brother fall into the hole, my head shook and I immediately went over and grabbed my brother. But it was too late, my brother had already fallen.

"Brother, you're okay. I lay down at the entrance of the cave and shouted hard.

"Oops...... Startle me, what kind of place is this? Don't worry, I'm fine, the hole is not deep!" From the hole came my brother's trembling voice.

"Grab my shovel, I'll pull you up!" I shoved the shovel into the cave.

After the iron pillar climbed up with the shovel, we both came out of the cellar and sat on the ground panting for breath. At this time, Uncle Li also came over and asked, "What did you dig up? Look at what scared you two!"

My brother gasped and said, "I just wanted to widen the bottom of the vegetable cellar to all sides, but as soon as the shovel went down, I fell into that hole with a shovel, and I was not prepared at all, and I fell into a big ass." It stinks inside, by the way, my shovel is still in there, I'll have to pick it up later!"

Uncle Li walked to the vegetable cellar, and sure enough, he saw a big hole on the east side of the pit, and there was a black hole in it, and it was not clear to see.

"Uncle Li, what is that, did you dig some treasure hole!" I am like this, always so optimistic.

Uncle Li turned around and smiled mysteriously at me: "The treasure cave?

"Ah, do you mean that there really is a ghost grip?" I looked at Uncle Li with puzzled eyes.

Uncle Li held the crutches with both hands, squinted his eyes slightly and said to us: "The ghost gripper, also known as the yin hand and the soul hand. In ancient times, there was a kind of criminal law called "Ling Chi", you should know!"

"Yes!" we replied in unison.

"Ling Chi, that is, three thousand six hundred knives must be cut on the prisoner's body in three days, and only after the last knife goes down, the prisoner can die, otherwise the person who executes will be dismissed, think about it, if a person is cut so many knives, how can he still hold on to the end?" Uncle Li said.

Tie Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, don't say three thousand six hundred knives, even if three hundred and sixty knives go down, it will definitely hurt to death a long time ago!"

I thought about it for a while, and said with a wicked smile: "It won't be the anesthetic first!"

"Haha, that's smart. Uncle Li replied with a smile: "But there was no anesthetic at any time, but in order to save his job, the executioner used a method that was more effective than anesthetic-forbidden souls." ”

"Forbidden Soul!"

It turned out that before the ancient Xing Ling Chi, the executioner would first let some Taoist priests use soul forbidden charms to imprison the soul of the prisoner in the body, so that no matter how many knives were cut, the prisoner would only feel pain and not die. However, after the execution, because the prisoner suffered too much mental pain, the imprisoned soul was damaged, and he had to be guided by another soul to be reborn. Therefore, in addition to removing the forbidden soul charm, it is necessary to kill a chicken or other animal to introduce the path of transcendence to its soul.

But if the spell is not lifted after the execution, or if the spell is removed without a soul to guide the way, then the soul will be attached to the corpse and will be tormented in the ground forever, and will not be able to reborn.

And doing so will leave some hidden dangers, that is, when the place where the deceased is buried meets certain conditions, the soul attached to the corpse can control the already decaying limbs of its own and kill nearby creatures, so as to free its own soul.

What kind of conditions?

The place where the first corpse is buried must be in a place where the yin qi is very heavy, so as to increase the spirituality of the corpse.

Second, a candle must be lit at the location of the birth gate before the soul can dominate the body, and this state is called the state of false return to yang.

After these two conditions are met, the soul can control the corpse and kill some of the surrounding creatures in a short period of time. Even if it's a mouse, you can let yourself be reborn, but most of the bones are buried in the ground, and there are very few creatures, so the soul will use some simple methods of retreat, within the scope of the grave, reach out to the ground to kill the creatures, so as to get the soul, but the creatures killed are often humans, which is the origin of the ghost grip.

Shuangpai Village belongs to Dalong Mountain, the Yan and Ji in the two small countries of Yan and Ji appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties are in the Dalong Mountain realm, which is a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and every inch of land is buried under the heroes of many heroes. The hole we dug just now was actually an ancient tomb, and the owner of the tomb was the prisoner who had been executed by Ling Chi.

It turned out that after Li Erpang died, Uncle Li inspected the environment where the incident occurred and concluded that there must be a problem under the thatched house.

First of all, this thatched house is located in the southwest corner of the Li family's courtyard, and it belongs to the kun yin position in the gossip of the day after tomorrow, and the yin qi itself is very heavy.

Second, the problem lies in which second fat iron cylinder is lit for light because he is afraid of the dark. Which night did the second fat die at the ugly moment, the opening of the rest of the life injury Du Jing died and frightened the eight gates, on the nine-square grid for the Fu Yin Bureau, the door of death in the southwest is deeper yin, and which burning iron cylinder is below the position of the northeast corner of the tomb, which is equivalent to lighting a candle at the door of life, so the dead body in the tomb under the thatched house will move, stretch out his hand from below, and catch Li Erfat.

After a qiē was understood, Uncle Li deliberately asked me to find the snake that was absorbing yin qi in the thatched house, which attracted everyone's attention, and it happened that it was actually a "pheasant neck", which made everyone believe that the pillar was bitten to death by a snake, thus eliminating the panic of the ghost gripper.

Then let us come over to help, digging the vegetable cellar is fake, and cracking the ghost grip is real. If we had told the two of us the truth, we wouldn't have believed it, so we asked us to help under the guise of digging a cellar.

Uncle Li thought that the coffin was buried directly in the ground, but we dug up a burial chamber, which was better and saved a lot of trouble.

After listening to Uncle Li's narration, we were as frightened as listening to the book of heaven, and at the same time, there was a little curiosity and doubt in our eyes.

Uncle Li looked at the two of us, smiled and said, "Hehe, you don't believe it, as long as you two have the guts, I'll let you see the true face of the 'ghost grip' tonight, are you afraid?"

"Ahh Okay, that's a deal, there's nothing we both fear!" replied Tiezhu.

"Sure enough, Uncle didn't look away, they are two good seedlings!" Uncle Li patted Tie Zhu's shoulder hard.

I thought for a while and said, "Uncle Li, since the second fat is dead, is the soul of this ghost gripper already overborn?"

Uncle Li looked at me with appreciation, "You are right, but have you seen a few dead mice in the pit? Sue sù to you, it is because after the ghost grasped the two pillars, the soul did not follow to superbirth, and then caught these rats to death, which shows that the person who was executed by Ling Chi not only did not have a soul to guide the way after the execution, but also the soul forbidden charm on his body was not unraveled, so even if there was a soul to guide the way, he could not be reborn." ”

"Will you break the spell?" I asked, confused.

"Of course, hehe...... What to do if you don't dig it up. Uncle Li said: "Okay, the moisture inside is almost gone, let's go to the tomb and take a look." ”

The size of the burial chamber is not large, and it is also very short, and the iron pillars are so tall that you have to half-bend to ensure that your head does not touch the top. Under the reflection of three pine oil torches, the whole burial chamber looks magnificent.

In the center of the burial chamber, there is an open stone coffin, the lid lying crookedly on the ground on the left. Seeing that the stone coffin had been opened, I felt nervous in my heart.

Seeing our appearance, Uncle Li laughed a few times and said, "You guys have the guts, did you see the lid on the ground? That was opened by the guy who was lying in the coffin the night before yesterday." I didn't expect to have so much strength, it seems that there are a lot of years. After saying that, he walked over to the stone coffin, and the two of us followed.

This coffin is about three meters long and two meters wide, with a blue-gray body and thick stone walls. Inside the coffin was a wooden coffin that had long since rotted. In the middle of the coffin, a complete skeleton was lying in it, the color was snow-white and snow-white, but there was a little white mark on the right hand, which was probably left when Li Erzhu was arrested the night before.

"How can the bones be so white?" Uncle Li looked around the stone coffin while muttering to himself, and suddenly he seemed to have found something, picked up the shovel that fell down with the iron pillar from the ground, and scraped the side wall of the stone coffin with the head of the shovel, and after a while, a mezzanine appeared, the reason why the stone coffin was so thick was that there was a mezzanine hidden in the middle.

The mezzanine is not wide, only about two centimeters, it is full of white substance, Uncle Li picked up some with his hand and smelled it, then sighed, shook his head and said to the corpse inside: "Evil, evil, brother, how much of a sin have you committed, after death, not only was your soul imprisoned, but also red saltpeter powder was used to roast you, no wonder the bones are so white, sins and sins!"

With that, he shook his head and walked out of the cellar, and the two of us hurriedly followed.

"Uncle Li, what's wrong with you? What is that white thing, does it do anything?" I asked vigorously after Uncle Li's ass.

Uncle Li sighed and said: "It seems that this person has committed a big sin, those white things are red saltpeter powder, put in the mezzanine of the stone coffin, not only can make the coffin very dry, but the greater effect is to burn the soul in the coffin, so that the soul is in torment all the time, even if it is reincarnated, it will be an incomplete person!"

We both listened in a daze.

To the north of Uncle Li's house are three main houses, with a wing room on the east side for cooking, and a shed on the west side for firewood and some sundries. In the center of the courtyard is a big jujube tree, very thick, and there is a stone table underneath, and the three of them sit around the table to drink tea and chat.

"Uncle Li, do you know what age this tomb is?" said Tie Zhu.

"Well, I think about it, judging from the cloud dragon pattern and fire cloud pattern carved on the coffin, it should be from the Western Han Dynasty, and the means of using fire saltpeter powder to roast the soul also appeared at that time, but it has been more than two thousand years now, and the tomb has not collapsed, which is incredible. ”

Uncle Li replied: "The owner of this tomb must have a very peculiar story, if only he could know it!"

I sighed, "When you grow up, go to archaeology, so that you can interpret many, many stories from the monuments." ”

Tie Zhu smiled and said to me, "Yes, this tomb owner must be a man with a story." After Uncle Li finished speaking, he looked at the sky as if thinking about something.

"So what are we going to do next, help him get out of the way?" Iron Pillar asked.

Uncle Li filled a bag of cigarettes, lit it, took a deep breath and said, "Yes, tonight we will come to rescue this soul that has been roasted for two thousand years, hehe, just let the two of you have a long insight." ”

"You're amazing, what the hell are you, how do you know so much?" I asked.

"I can't say this yet, hehe, you'll naturally know in the future, okay, you're tired enough today, go back and rest, I'll prepare something too, and come over after dinner in the evening." After speaking, Uncle Li got up and went back to the house.
