"It would be nice to have a lacquer box like this at home! Even if you hang this coffin board on the wall of the living room, it is also full of splendor. "I was in high spirits," the dragon first piles up thick pigments, and then uses special tools to squeeze out the thick pigments, creating highly convex hook edges that give a relief effect. I stared at it and muttered a few words of appreciation, "These techniques are rarely used in lacquerware nowadays, and they are too labor-intensive, and few craftsmen have this level." ”

I looked at such a beautiful coffin board, I even felt a little uncomfortable, I looked at it for a long time, and then I pushed the coffin lid open, and a relief was revealed on the stone slab, which was actually the image of two powerful ghosts with their heads. Although the shape is blurred, you can still see that the face is hideous, like Shura and Medicine Fork, and what is even more strange is that these two ghosts are eyeless, and there is only a hole in the eyes that is pitch black.

"There can't really be a demon king living in this coffin, right?" My heart trembled, and I remembered the legend of the demon king that Ji Weiqi had told me, although Ji Weiqi flatly denied that it was true, but I had already planted a seed in my heart, and a little cranky thinking could make it sprout.

I can be called well-informed, but I have never seen any purposeless blind ghosts in the world, and when I saw this strange and strange ghost engraved at the bottom of the coffin, I was suspicious in my heart, and I really didn't know what the name was.

"Mother of Evil, Bronze Man, Bronze Coffin, Eyeless Ghost, what is the connection?" The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, but at this time, he was the only one, and he couldn't solve the puzzle, "If only Sister Qi was here, she must know the secret of this if she is so smart?" ”

"Isn't it for alchemy? But since ancient times, there have been zombies in the world to burn Yin Pills, but I have never heard of the saying that ghosts are used to refine the pill head. I carefully observed the relief on it, trying to crack the suspicion, "I am afraid that no one knows where the bottom of this burial dragon pit is, the so-called place where the demon king is sealed, I am afraid that I can't believe it all, in short, it is not a fairy Yaotai, there are strange beasts and monsters hidden in it, it must be the evil art of the side door, I am afraid that there is some mystery hidden that makes people cause trouble for no reason?" ”

"However, this is the holy land of Yuling after all, and it is not a place where demons and monsters gather, so I think about it, only the legend of the demon king can be believed, and I am afraid that the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, so the ancestor really sealed the demon king in it. But although this demon king is evil, it is still unknown what he will do to bring disaster to the world, and after thinking about it, he fell into a dead loop. I pondered in distress, rolled my eyes twice, sighed, and said to myself: "The crux of this must lie in Ye Heping and the man behind the scenes, why did they come from the idea of fighting here?" ”

The first thing I thought of was the numbers on the back of Ou Zhi's note, Ji Weiqi seemed to have mentioned that a very obscure thing happened in 1951, which had a great impact on the rivers and lakes at that time, so Song Beike and Su Musha were both insiders, but Ji Weiqi was secretive about it, I am afraid that it has a deep connection.

Now, it is useless to imagine that I have simply opened the coffin to find out whether it is a demon or a phoenix, a turtle and a dragon (Note 1). So, I pushed the lid of the coffin open again, and then pried open the lid of the coffin engraved with a ghost, only to find that the inside of the coffin had been locked with a copper lock, and the lock teeth were closed like dogs' teeth, and there was no way to open it without a special key.

"Damn it!" I scolded and hammered it, but I didn't know that this punch went down, and I smashed the lock by mistake and fell into it an inch, I thought that the lock was destroyed by myself, and it was impossible to open the lock again.

As soon as the bronze coffin was opened, I realized that it was not a demon king, but it turned out that there was a huge space inside, and it was as if another secret appeared in front of him. There was no lamp inside, it was completely dark, and I couldn't see my fingers, but I could only hear the wind whirring inside, as if the cave was extremely wide and deep.

I didn't dare to go in and check it out, but chose to observe it outside for a long time, and only when I could see it clearly did I dare to go in. But after entering, I was still taken aback, it turned out that at the bottom of the coffin was a huge space, as if it was a third layer of space, with a large laurel tree growing in the middle, supporting the shade, the branches and leaves were like a crown, and it grew very densely. In the cave wall of the burial dragon pit, the elder blood vine, this thing can grow without the help of sunlight, but in this place where there is no light at all, there is such a laurel tree, and the surprise is no less than the discovery of the ninth civilization monument.

"This ......" I went up to take a look, and I couldn't help but get a piece of chestnut all over my body.

I saw that the laurel tree was actually suspended in mid-air by the huge bronze chain of the Nine Heavens, its roots were not rooted in the soil behind it, but exposed in the air, and under the roots, there were pieces of white bones, which were even more shocking when they handed over to the pile of white bones that they saw when they first entered.

"Your sister, this laurel tree grows through corpse qi." I said suddenly.

The lush canopy of the laurel tree was so gloomy that I stood at the edge of the cave and looked down, and I could feel the cool air in the tree, and he gasped.

The laurel tree is yin by nature, there are many corpses buried here, and the corpse gas in it has been sucked into the body of the tree, and I cut it with a short knife, and a stream of clear juice flows out of the tree.

"This should be a corpse cinnamon, whether it is a corpse cinnamon or a ghost locust, they are all rare and bad things in the grass and trees." I secretly speculated, "Legend has it that this kind of corpse cinnamon is a passage between the yin and yang worlds, most of it is not a false rumor, I don't see any damp air here, but it is cool and penetrating to the bones, and the cinnamon grows through the yin qi of the corpse bones." ”

Since ancient times, there have been rumors that the locust tree is the main yin, and the locust tree is also known as the ghost in the wood, which is easy to block the sunlight when planted at the door of the house, which will lead to the lack of yang energy in the house, the aura chaos and other adverse effects. Especially in autumn, you can feel the wind in the house, which makes you feel panicked.

In Feng Shui, it is taboo to plant locust trees on the edge of the cemetery, and the older generation of people say that the locust tree in the cemetery will cause the ghost of the tomb owner to be adsorbed on the locust tree, and it is not allowed to be overborn. If a locust tree grows on the ancestral grave, it is necessary to ask the opinion of a feng shui master who is proficient in feng shui according to the actual situation, because this situation is more complicated, auspicious and evil, and you should not cut it down easily, which is likely to lead to bad consequences.

When I thought of this, I became secretly on guard. Under the cover of the canopy, the mist is like a fantasy, this fairyland-like scenery coexists with the gloomy atmosphere between the old laurel trees, and the strong contrast is extremely incongruous. As I looked around under the tree, I felt as if I was in danger and in danger.

Looking up, the hole above was close to the top of the canopy at this height, but in fact it was still quite a distance, and there was no other creature here except this laurel tree, and all the nourishment in the whole space seemed to be supplied to it.

I wanted to climb the cinnamon, but my level was still a little lacking, and the degree of climbing was still very rusty. As soon as he stepped on a tree branch, a cold sweat broke out on his back. A strong yin wind blew from behind, and it also carried a smell of blood.

"Why does it smell so much blood?" I soon felt the smell of blood in the air was very strong and disgusting.

"Could it be that there's something else here?" The bronze coffin was sealed, and no one could have entered it before he opened it, unless it had already existed there.

The countless white bones on the ground make people's hearts chill, I think in my heart where so many bones come from, the project is as huge as building the mausoleum of princes and generals, but it is not a day's work, if it is not done by manpower, there will be monsters to haunt it.

The smell of blood in the air was very strong, and after careful debate, it seemed that there was still some herbal smell, which was disgusting, but it was also captured by it, but I couldn't stop it.

I was following the smell of blood, and the fog was getting thicker, and it was dark all around, and I couldn't see anything in the dim flashlight. I was about to lift my feet when I suddenly saw a woman standing in the darkness with heavy makeup.

The face was facing me, motionless in the dark space, looking like a living person, but I couldn't feel the breath of a living person in her. As soon as I flickered in the light, I could see that the woman was dressed as a bright man. She wears wooden-soled bow shoes and four paddy field clothes made of fragmentary brocade (note 2), which resemble the robes worn by monks, and a set of bijia on the outside, which was popular among women in the Ming Dynasty.

"Who?" As soon as I met her face-to-face, I was nervous and had already spit out the words.

Exegesis:

1, Linfeng Turtle Dragon: Uttering "Rites and Rites": "Linfeng Turtle Dragon is called the Four Spirits." "These four animals are all rare animals that symbolize auspiciousness, nobility and longevity. In fact, in addition to the turtle being a real animal, the unicorn (unicorn), phoenix (phoenix), and dragon are all imaginary animals. Later, "Linfeng, Turtle and Dragon" was often used as a metaphor for people with noble character.

2. Paddy field clothing: ancient clothing, which is a unique women's clothing style in the Ming Dynasty. It is a garment spliced with various colored rags, commonly known as "paddy field clothing". Another name for the robe. Because it is made of multiple rectangular pieces of cloth, it is like a boundary painting of a rice field, hence the name. It is also called Baigyi. Tang Tang Yanqian wrote in "New Rice in the Weigong Basin Pond of Ximing Temple": "The land is born again, and the golden elephant world is born, and the roots are still on the paddy field." Qing Wu Weiye "and Wang Taichang Xitian Miscellaneous Rhyme" No. 6 said: "Hand planted pine branches as tails, Yunlin monks paddy field clothes." Qing Qian Daxin "Ten Drivers Zhai Yang Xinlu Paddy Field Clothes": "Shizi uses a robe as a paddy field coat. ”
