Chapter 36: Double Death 18: The Black Cat in the Coffin

"The soles of your feet?"

Jiang Jinjiu looked at the iron hook in the corpse's mouth, wondered how to hook it so that his feet were facing the hole, and muttered, "Why are you on the soles of your feet?" ”

"Hey, this will avoid rushing to the corpse when you enter the coffin. The head is a very dangerous part, such as the mouth, stomach, lungs, and intestines are all places where gas is stored, and the air pressure difference generated when the coffin is opened, as well as the pressure of external force can make these gases release quickly, so it is necessary to touch and grasp from the soles of the feet. But...... This coffin is a bit special, it has no stone monument and no tomb, the regular coffin has a wide head and narrow feet, it is trapezoidal, which is like this coffin The appearance is uneven, it is roughly a rectangle, and you can't see the direction of the head and feet. I think this tomb robber also touched it according to the rules of burial. ”

"What rules?"

"There are a lot of rules, and it won't be over for three days and three nights. Let's just say that this terrain, the head and foot orientation is the head rest mountain, and the foot pedal river. The tomb robber followed this rule, but unfortunately the person was buried backwards. ”

"That cat was put in by the tomb robbers?"

"Probably not." Qin Xuan looked at the cat on the screen and said, "I guess it's a wild cat, and eighty percent of it was caught by tomb robbers temporarily." ”

Jiang Jinjiu asked again, "Then why did you put the cat in?" ”

Qin Zhaoyun replied, "You square mallet, stupid, the coffin has been buried for so long, the air in it has long been gone, and there was no oxygen cylinder back then, how long can you get in after opening the coffin, of course, put a small animal in it to see if it will suffocate to death, I don't know this common sense?!" Listen honestly, don't interrupt, Qin Xuan continued. ”

"Well, I think this tomb robber was very bold, he was attracted by the glimmer of light on the coffin board, and thought it was something good. Otherwise, he would have been scared away when he found out that he had misplaced himself and saw the scene of the human head hooked on the coffin lid, and how could he have used a rope to get the body out. However, dragging the corpse out of the coffin is not the same as taking the soul out of the coffin together, this coffin can not only imprison the soul in the body, but also a cage for the soul, the part he destroyed did not break the relevant seals, at most it opened an iron window for the cage. The soul that had lost his body was slamming around in the coffin, and there must have been obvious abnormal movements, which alarmed him and did not dare to continue, so he buried the body in the thief cave in a panic. And now it's the cat that's causing the nocturnal anomaly. ”

Master Xu continued, "You want to say...... In order to escape from the sarcophagus, the trapped coffin soul attached itself to the cat's body, but instead of going out, it was trapped in the cat's body? ”

Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Master Xu thinks the same as me. ”

Suddenly, he saw Jiang Jinjiu, who was about to ask questions, and said to him lazily with half-open eyes, "What about cats, in the legends of each country, their identities are different, some are worshiped as gods, some are regarded as the embodiment of evil, or the messengers of the devil, and some are called the Holy Spirit, but there is no unified statement here for us, do you know why?" ”

Jiang Jinjiu shook his head, and Qin Xuan continued, "Because it's too lazy. ”

There was silence......

"Haha, just kidding, I'm not quite sure why. However, my master has studied it, and based on ancient mythology, it is speculated that the cat may be a doppelganger of the ancient legend...... 梼杌 is the son of the Northern Heavenly Emperor Zhuan, very similar to a tiger, with long hair, human face, tiger feet, pig teeth, long tail, pig head, don't think I draw it, check it on the Internet yourself! ”

"Oops! How do you know what I want to do? Jiang Jinjiu said with a smile.

"Hey! What else can you think about in this pig's head? ”

Master Xu interjected and asked, "So, what kind of abilities does Master Ling think cats have?" ”。

"Master's statement is also inaccurate, Master thinks that cats are very mysterious animals. From ancient times to the present, there are many foreign legends. Some say that cats can be psychic, some say that cats can suck people's souls, ghosts possess cats and take people's lives, and witches are retinues. What other cat has nine lives, is the messenger of God, the embodiment of God, but there are not many legends about cats here. ”

"In ancient times, cats were called raccoons, but there are very few records after the Western Zhou Dynasty. There are not many characters in mythological stories, at most, what is the nine-tailed cat demon that harmed the men of a whole village, and the cultivated cat is rewarded by people's favors, and the cat walks over the face of a dead old lady, and becomes the rumored cat-faced old lady. The good and the bad are different, but none of them are turned upside down, even in "Journey to the West", "Liao Zhai", "Fengshen Bang" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the appearance of cats is almost zero. ”

"But the intelligence of cats is not lower than that of any animal that can cultivate immortals, such a low-key guy, Master thinks that the most likely thing is that cats played the role of guardians in ancient times. And it is not an ordinary road, it is the pivot of the intersection of humans, gods, demons, and the three worlds, which is called the space of "chaos". The passage between the Void and the Three Realms opens in a certain realm every sixty years, and the time is uncertain. Maybe a moment, maybe a few years, maybe a few decades. There are also times when the passage is opened in both realms at the same time, or even in the three realms at the same time. If the passage of the two realms is opened at the same time, it is equivalent to building a bridge between the two realms to communicate with them. ”

"The demons in the human world are devastated, the blood is flowing like a river, and the gods and demons are fighting in the dark, which is not uncommon in mythological stories. The balance of the Three Realms will be disturbed, and it will often be quite unfavorable to the human and divine realms. Because the void is filled with the breath of the Three Realms, the breath of the divine realm is the purest qi, the human realm is the turbid qi, and the demon realm is the turbid qi. Therefore, there is a high probability that the qi in the void is biased towards turbidity, and the probability of being clear is small. If the passage is opened in both the Demon Realm and the Divine Realm, the turbid qi flows into the Divine Realm, which will weaken the power of the Gods. As a god or a human, he can't stand the chaotic aura in the void, so he can't stop the demons in the void, and can only passively suffer the enemy. ”

"For the sake of the balance of the Three Realms, the cat came into being the guardian of Chaoxu. According to various examples, cats are both good and evil, yin and yang are uncertain, which just shows that cats can be unhindered in chaos. And it is very possible that the qi of chaos and void is the source of the cat's essence qi, and it will only become very powerful in the void, and even the demons are afraid of seven points when they see it. Although this is Master's reasoning, I think it makes a lot of sense. ”

"In terms of demonic nature, destroying the heavens and destroying the Dao is simply a lifelong will, but there have only been two legends about the catastrophe in thousands of years, and it is a bit unreasonable to say if there is nothing to maintain balance. But one thing my master can be sure of is that there are at least two kinds of cats. One is a pure animal, and the other has inherited an extraordinary bloodline. The inheritor is very powerful, but he is not discovered. ”

"Also, my brother thinks cats are a medium, and he has seen a group of wild cats gather together, and one of them seems to be their leader. The meow of the cat below is orderly, like the person below is speaking during a meeting. But three days later, the senior brother found the leader cat dead on the side of the road, apparently having been bitten to death by wild dogs. Thinking back to what he saw that night, there seemed to be a layer of black shadows around his body, his face was human-like, and his eyes did not emit the fluorescence that a cat's eye should have. According to his estimate, maybe there is something 'doing things' in the human world, in order not to attract people's eyes, or a kind of rule, when they come to the human world to do things, they can't use the body, they must borrow a body, so the cat should be a night-time body. ”

"It seems that the body was dragged out by the tomb robbers in the middle of the night, because the soul was separated from the body because of the seal. The soul attached itself to the cat's body in order to escape, but the seal was aimed at this person, and even if it was attached to the cat's body, it could not get out. And attaching it to the cat does not mean that it has night vision, it scratches and crawls in the dark, leaving claw marks on the coffin wall. Although it can't see the sunlight, the cat's habits will sense it, and the cat's function will automatically shut down, and the soul will be trapped in the cat's body and continue to suffer. And as long as the soul does not escape the coffin, the coffin will remain sealed, so we can't detect anything unusual from the ground. ”

"In that case...... There is some truth to that. Master Xu and Qin Zhaoyun nodded in unison.

Qin Zhaoyun asked, "How did the Yin Air Flow come about?" ”

"I guess...... There is also a coffin under the other spot, and it has also been broken with a hole. ”

"And one more!?" The villagers who heard it all exclaimed.

"Well, I think so. After the coffin soul is attached to the cat, even if it has the ability to move, it is a blind person, the thief hole is blocked, it does not know where the exit is, and can only spin in the coffin. Until one day another tomb robber, or the same, found the same coffin over there and broke it according to the law, and Bacheng also let a wild cat in, forming the same situation as here. ”

In this way, at night, because they occupy the same medium, they have a subtle connection with each other and sense each other's presence. Or they can sense each other's strong resentment, and they have a way forward. But they couldn't get out, but they were unwilling to be imprisoned, so they collided thousands of times. At this time, there is a breach in the coffin, and the yin qi can leak out, and the two phases gradually form a vortex after the exchange, which attracts the nearby yin qi, and the stronger it gathers, the stronger it becomes, forming the yin air flow. The Yin air flow is like a wall that cuts off the Qi flow, so that the original Qi flow has to change the trend, forming a situation of different directions of the day and night in the seven passes, and even cutting off the main vein of the Hui Yang Heavy Bureau. ”

"So the folding of life is also because of the coffin. This is a yin qi full of resentment, and when people are sleeping, it is the slowest time of metabolism, and the body will speed up the metabolism when it is invaded by this yin qi. This is to say that the internal organs at rest resume their work, which is equivalent to not sleeping. If you don't think so, you're prone to aging. Also, this circulation does not occur overnight, it should be a cycle of several hours. When it stopped, the Huiyang Heavy Bureau resumed operation, and the tree mistakenly thought it was dawn at this time, and after a period of time, the Yin Qi circulation was generated again, and the Huiyang Heavy Bureau stopped. In this way, the perception of the tree overnight seems to be two or three days later, and the phenomenon of abnormal tree rings is produced. The growth cycle of trees is disrupted, not to mention human. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Master Xu and Qin Zhaoyun nodded in unison again.

Jiang Jinjiu asked, "So, as long as there is a coffin under another point, this matter will be revealed?" ”

The three of them nodded in unison, and Jiang Jinjiu immediately dug a pit.

After digging for nearly 30 meters, there was really a coffin, and a hole was broken.

It's just that there is no cat in the coffin, only a corpse with no limbs hooked and hung in the coffin.

But this does not affect the conclusion, and the mysterious death of Weiyang South Village has since had a clue.

Basically, it is the reason for the coffin.

Their presence attracts evil creatures, and they appear in pairs. Just like the brother and sister who subdued it, they were also attracted to it and wanted to use it to practice.

However, because of the relationship between the return to the yang situation, they do not dare to appear during the day, and must hide in a place where the yang energy is weak.

Every household in the countryside has a warehouse, a vegetable kiln, and a latrine, and such places that are not exposed to sunlight all year round are naturally the first choice. Even in the Huiyang Heavy Bureau, there will still be a strong yin qi direction, which is also a latent place.

And when animals are cultivating the Demon Dao, especially during the rapid cultivation of the Extreme Yin Land, they need to eat Yang Qi to offset the damage caused by Yin Qi to themselves.

For example, battery charging often times out, which will reduce the life of the battery. Normal people who eat too much supplements will get sick.

Beast spirits are unable to convert external yin qi into their own power in time, so they need to eat yang qi as a hedge, so as not to be unable to bear the disorder.

Since the people of Weiyang South Village live in the Huiyang Heavy Situation, even the dying people's Yang Qi is much stronger than that of ordinary people, so it is enough to eat once a year.

Those who died seem to have no connection, but in fact they are all in the vein of the Nine Palaces.

The so-called darkness under the lamp, under the extremely strong yang qi of the Huiyang Bureau, the fluctuations in the yin qi veins are impossible to detect, and they can achieve a successful sneak attack without causing abnormal phenomena.

Moreover, there is no eternal lord in the treasure land, and there are people robbing it every year.

There is also a saying that "one mountain does not tolerate two tigers", and there are also fights between evil things. The winner is the king, and the loser is the loser, and it often changes hands, resulting in a different nature of each death.

In conclusion, the double death incident in Weiyang South Village is both coincidental and unfortunate.

But as long as this hidden danger is removed, the villagers of Weiyang South Village can sit back and enjoy the benefits brought by the Huiyang Heavy Situation.
