Chapter 157: Breaking the Eight Dragon Tombs
"It's time to eat~" Dugu Xingyue said softly, everyone stood up, and everyone was waiting for this crab feast. Although the menu for this meal only had crabs, they were all looking forward to it.
The Khitans hardly ever ate crabs, and the rest of the people rarely ate them. Because the crab is very seasonal, it must be in late autumn to have such a fat taste, so of course you should taste it carefully once a year.
Dugu Xingyue and Han Wenmei brought a large plate, which was full of crabs, because they had just been taken out of the steamer, and it was still steaming on it.
As soon as the plate was put on the table, almost everyone looked at Zongxin. Tianya is an apprentice, the demon and Dugu Xingyue are women, and the Eighteen Riders of Youyun are servants, and they must wait for Zong Xin to speak before they can eat.
Zong Xin immediately picked up a crab, and the whole person was stunned, and he was stunned for a while and suddenly smiled.
"Hurry up, everyone, I have something for you to do after eating. Maybe we can break the Eight Dragon Tomb today. "No one knows how, but I'm more interested in the freshly steamed crab.
When steaming the crabs, Dugu Xingyue boiled some wine by the way, this time it was cooked in a casserole, and some more seasoning was added, which felt softer and more refreshing. However, eating crabs is a technical job, and the eighteen riders of Youyun are staring at Tianya, seeing how Tianya eats and learns by himself.
Although many people here have no experience in eating crabs, they quickly got started. And all of them have small sharp daggers on their bodies, and they cut open the shells of the crabs before taking the meat.
There is not much meat in crabs, but crabs in late autumn have a lot of crab roe, and the crab roe has a unique flavor when served with wine.
After Meimei's meal, the crab shells piled up, and many places were not eaten clean, but their skills were like this, and there was really no way to take out all the meat. Although there is very little crab meat, it tastes very fragrant, and it feels really good to take another sip of rice wine.
After eating, Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "I have something to tell you when I come over." ”
"Master, haven't you eaten enough?"
"It's full, but you still have to go into the city, I want you to buy a few more packs of cinnabar and come back, go and come back quickly." Zong Xin asked the old man to buy dye, but he didn't say what he was going to do.
The old one didn't want to think about it at all, so he did whatever the master told him to do, and immediately rode the wolf to Xuzhou City.
"Letter, what do you want cinnabar for?"
Zong Xin said: "I want to break the Eight Dragon Tombs." ”
"With cinnabar?" the demon couldn't believe his ears, but after thinking about it, maybe Zongxin wanted to draw a talisman. Many Taoist priests will use cinnabar to draw talismans, and I heard that it is very effective. But a few barrels of this amount...... How many symbols does he have to draw?
Zhao Kuangyin tasted a glass of rice wine, and then chuckled: "Zongxin, I know what you're going to do." ”
"Do you really know?"
"Of course, how smart am I?" Zhao Kuangyin said confidently: "Obviously, you can't help but finally show your true kung fu." It must be to write Buddhist scriptures in cinnabar on the tomb to dispel the yin qi, and then you can break the formation, right?"
"No~! I praised you in vain, and I thought you really understood. ”
Zhao Kuangyin was embarrassed and thought he had guessed correctly. Even a smart person like Dugu Xingyue thought that Zong Xin was going to draw talismans or write Buddhist scriptures to break the formation. After all, Zongxin is a high-ranking monk, and he must have other advanced means.
Zongxin didn't want to explain either, because this group of people was too stupid.
The wolf was very fast, and it was only a few miles away from Xuzhou City, and it didn't take long for Lao Yi to return to the bamboo house with cinnabar.
Zongxin had already asked Han Wenmei to prepare three buckets, and after the old one came back, he brought five large bags of cinnabar, and Zongxin poured three of them into the bucket, and the water in the bucket instantly turned viscous red. borrowed a few more brushes from Han Lingkun.
"It's almost ready, everyone come with me and see how I break this Eight Dragon Tomb. Zong Xin asked others to carry cinnabar buckets and brushes and walked towards the Eight Dragon Tombs.
The Eight Dragon Tomb was closer, and it took a few steps to walk to the edge of the Eight Dragon Tomb. Like yesterday, eight steps up to the high platform, there are two tombstones on the high platform, one is written on the Eight Dragon Mound, and the other is written on Xun Shu's life, all of which are paved with bluestone slabs, and it really looks like a big crab when you stand far away.
Zong Xin said: "Each of you takes a brush and uses cinnabar water to paint the entire Eight Dragon Tomb red. ”
"What is this for?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't understand what was going on, although he knew that cinnabar warded off evil spirits, but Zong Xin's approach was too extreme, and he was ready to paint the entire high platform with cinnabar. If this is useful, there is no need for a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits and cure ghosts, as long as the cinnabar is smeared, there are no demons and monsters.
The Eighteen Riders of Youyun were also curious, but immediately went to do things after hearing Zong Xin's order. This is the biggest advantage of the Khitan warriors, they don't care if it's right or wrong, they don't ask the reason, Zong Xinlet do whatever he wants. This is what they used to do as soldiers, and although they are not soldiers now, this habit is very good.
Dugu Xingyue said softly: "Husband, you should explain it to everyone." ”
"Well, this tomb does look like a crab, and it's all made of bluestone slabs, so think of it as a crab, and it's a live crab so it's cyan. The crab yin, coupled with the yin gossip outside, constantly condenses the yin qi, so this array can't be broken. Zong Xin smiled: "The crab we ate just now is like this, it is cyan when it is alive, but it is red when it is eaten." When the crab is steamed, it turns red...... Therefore, I painted the blue crab of the Eight Dragon Mound into a red crab, which means that it has been steamed, so that this Yin Bagua will no longer condense the Yin Qi, and we can successfully break the formation. ”
Zongxin's idea is very peculiar, very bold, but very interesting. Originally, I thought that Zongxin was going to use cinnabar to write Buddhist scriptures, but it turned out to be just used as fuel. The cyan tomb is painted red, not to mention this crab-shaped tomb, even a very ordinary tomb can't stand it.
The speed of the Eighteen Riders is fast, but the entire tomb is too big, and it will take some time to paint the entire tomb. However, when Youyun Eighteen rode on Tu, he already felt the temperature around him rise, which was originally very cool but gradually began to be a little hot.
The human body is very sensitive to changes in temperature, and it immediately felt that Zongxin's method might be useful. Everyone admired Zong Xin's wit, but this strange idea didn't seem to be the idea of a worldly master at all, but like a gangster.
The Eighteen Riders of Youyun started from the stairs and slowly applied cinnabar water to all parts of the Eight Dragon Tombs, and it took two hours to paint all the corners red. After the old one made a week's rounds, he returned to Zongxin.
"Returning to the master, it was all painted red, and not a single thing was missing. ”
Zong Xin nodded, stood next to the Eight Dragon Tomb and also made a round, looking at all the corners to make sure that nothing was missing. At this time, the surroundings began to get a little hot, and Zongxin's method had already worked, but he didn't expect it to become so hot, as if he was in a steamer.
Zong Xin shook his sleeves and stretched out two hands. The demon on the left handed the scarf from yesterday to his hand, and Zhao Kuangyin on the right handed his double dragon stick into his hand, and the time for Zong Xin to break the formation came. Everyone hid quite far away, just now Zong Xin had already introduced the situation when the formation was broken last night, if he was accidentally struck by lightning, he would be dead.
Zong Xin once again put the demon's scarf on his bald head, and then Yun Zu Ba Chenggong grabbed the double dragon stick and smashed it hard.
'Boom~~~'
A few more thunderbolts flashed, all of which fell on Zong Xin's side, and the double dragon stick smashed the three-story staircase representing the hexagram to pieces.
The formation was broken, and the two tombstones on the high platform suddenly rotated, and the two tombstones rotated to different angles, and suddenly the tombstone written about Xun Shu's life was broken into several pieces, and a secret door was found under the tombstone.
"Amitabha, good, good, it seems that this is the gate to enter the tomb. ”
Zongxin's guess was true, this tomb was designed in the shape of a crab, and it was all made of bluestone slabs, like a living blue crab. The crab was originally yin, and the eight ladders were arranged according to the yin gossip, which could condense yin qi, so even if Zong Xin was able to dodge a lightning strike last night, his skill could not break this layer of yin qi.
But today, Zongxin's method worked, turning the blue crab into a red crab, as if the crab had been steamed, not only could this live crab die, but also allowed the yang energy to enter and destroy the yin energy here.
In fact, as long as you figure out this matter, Zongxin's method is not complicated, and the difficult thing is to think of this strange method of breaking the formation.
"Faith, you're so powerful, how did you come up with that?"
Zong Xin chuckled, "I thought of it when I was eating crabs just now. Zhao Kuangyin said that the crab looked very similar to the Eight Dragon Mound, and at that time I was thinking about how to kill the crab, and it was a fake crab. Later, I saw that the steamed crab shell was red, and I suddenly thought of this solution. ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I still have a little use, right?" ”
"You're of great use. Zong Xin said: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have imagined that the Eight Dragon Tomb was actually made in the shape of a crab." I wouldn't have thought of that either. ”
"Master, the sky seems to be darkening. Tianya absolutely believes in his master, so he is not surprised to see him break the formation, because Tianya thinks that there is nothing that his master can't do. So I was more concerned about the changes in other places, just when the tomb door was opened, it was originally a sunny day and suddenly turned cloudy, and the sky suddenly changed, something strange must have happened.
Zong Xin suddenly looked up at the sky, and a dark cloud covered the entire place, and the scope was very wide, almost reaching the outside of Xuzhou City. This is what everyone did not expect, what is hidden in this tomb? As soon as the tomb door was opened, dark clouds were invited to block the sunlight.
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Okay, since we have broken this formation, the matter is almost over, more things are better than less, while the things inside are not out, let's run away." ”
Zhao Kuangyin was almost certain that there was a monster inside, and it was a very powerful monster. Although I have never seen it in my life, I have often heard of such a thing as a yokai, and looking at the current situation, this tomb is so tightly sealed...... It must have been built to seal this monster.
Zong Xin, a well-fed monk, has nothing to break the formation? People finally caught the monster and sealed it here, Zong Xin actually broke the formation, and then let the monster escape. If the youkai inside escapes, the first thing to do is to eat him first.
