As early as the early days of his apprenticeship, Ma Zhenren told Zhang Guozhong a story that has been passed down for a long time in the Maoshan religion. According to current standards, it should be called a "classic case."

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a magistrate named Song Kejin. After his father died of illness, he wanted to be buried in his ancestral grave. However, because the river changed its course, he was forced to be buried one mile away from his ancestral grave. After he was buried, Song Kejin would

Song Kejin often dreams of his father being whipped with a whip and crying his blood all day long in the underworld. At first, Song Kejin thought that his dream was caused by excessive longing for his father, but it turned out that

He dreamed of this scene every day for a year, torturing Song Kejin to the point of death. Later, a Taoist priest named Sun Shide came to the place where his father was buried, and found a tomb of a Mongolian noble from the Yuan Dynasty not far away.

Sitting beside An Ning's Yunqi seat beside Song's father's tomb, he immediately concluded that this Yuan Dynasty tomb was the main culprit for Song's father's unrest.

Song Kejin originally wanted to dig out his father's coffin and bury it elsewhere, but in ancient times, digging up a coffin was disrespectful to the deceased, let alone his own father's coffin? When Song Kejin was at a loss, Taoist Sun gave him a warning and asked him to

Find a very vicious murderer, and then negotiate a deal with the murderer. If the murderer promises Song Kejin to protect his father after his death, he promises to treat him well with food and wine before he is beheaded.

Although he was doubtful, the dream he had about his father every day was true. In desperation, Song Kejin quickly reached an agreement with Cheng Song, a criminal thief who was responsible for more than a dozen lives, and established a written agreement. Cheng Song was also deceived, thinking that something had fallen from the sky.

Here comes the pie. There is such a stupid official in the world. He quickly agreed to Song Kejin's conditions and became a dead ghost after a month of good wine and good food.

After Cheng Song was beheaded, Song Kejin carried out a high-quality coffin to bury him in accordance with his lifetime contract, and then burned more than 100 kilograms of paper money for Cheng Song, as well as the written documents written by Cheng Song during his lifetime.

According to Taoist Sun's arrangement, Cheng Song was buried in the Suqi position of Lord Yinchang next to the tomb of Song's father. From then on, a "Shi Gen Formation" was also set up using Cheng Song's tomb as the center of the formation.

The Yin Qi in the earth veins was continuously transported to Cheng Song's coffin. Originally, this "Shi Gen Formation" was used to save people and expel ghosts, but this time it was used on the dead. It was also a breakthrough and innovation of Maoshan Sect.

.

Sure enough, on the night when Cheng Song was buried, Song Kejin suddenly dreamed of his father standing in front of him with a smile on his face, neatly dressed, nodding to him, and behind his father, a black-faced man was standing respectfully, it was Cheng Song. After that, Song Kejin

He never dreamed of his father being whipped again.

Although this story is a legend, it is also a precedent of "fighting fire with fire", and what Taoist Sun did in the story is completely feasible in theory.

This time, Old Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong actually thought of something together. Although he didn't know what the poisonous jade in his hand was, wasn't there a "Thousand Soul Mandrill" sealed inside? If Zhentai and Poisonous Jade were regarded as

Make a tomb

For burial, the poisonous jade is also placed in the plain position of the town platform, and the "Shi Gen Formation" is arranged around it. The power of this "Thousand Soul Mandrill" plus the Yin Qi gathered by the "Shi Gen Formation", even in that town platform

Even if the immortal lives in Da Luo, he will surely fall.

The most important question now is how to make these two things fight. Theoretically, the "Thousand Soul Mandrill" sealed in the poisonous jade and the thing in the Zhentai are of the same kind. Only by making them think that the other is a living creature, can they fight each other.

To achieve the goal.

Needless to say, basic methods such as living talismans and dummies are useless. They cannot last for more than one minute in front of the "Thousand Soul Mandrill" or something more powerful. Zhang Guozhong kept fanning himself when he suddenly smelled a fragrance and went out to take a look.

, Village Chief Li is burning incense and worshiping Bodhisattva.

"Comrade Zhang, I wish you peace! If you practice virtue and do good deeds, you will surely turn disaster into good luck!" Village Chief Li said very sincerely. Seeing the portrait of Guanyin posted on Village Chief Li's wall, a spark flashed in Zhang Guozhong's head

flashed through.

"Bodhisattva...Buddha...Sitting Buddha...Map...Porcelain vase...Zhao Le...Huo Chi Bureau...Huo Chi Bureau..." The more Zhang Guozhong thought about it, the more he knew...

"I know! I know!" Just like when he saw the place of death in Licun, Zhang Guozhong shouted and entered the house. The sleeping old Liutou sat up with a knife, "What's going on? Who's rushing again?"

It’s on…?”

Zhang Guozhong found a cart from Xizi Village and a stonemason from Yuanba, and carved six small pillars, which were a set of "Six Earth Fire" stone pillars. Since "Turkey" could not be found, he used peach wood instead.

I bought a wooden box, but there was no red salt, so I used cinnabar to get these things. I made a foolproof plan with Old Liu Tou. After eating and drinking, Chen Sanlai took me to "Persimmon Ridge".

"Persimmon Ridge" is a small mountain peak with extremely dangerous terrain. Old Liu Tou took a look here and was surprised that this is the Zhengyang position in the mountain, and according to the record on the map, "Kunshang Terrace" is on the ridge.

.This Zhao Sange formation is so unbelievable. Theoretically speaking, all nine platforms should be placed in the yin position in the mountain. This yang position is guarded by some gods. But when the three of them entered

I was completely confused after "Kun's death platform". What kind of platform is this? It is obviously an ancient battlefield, with many bones and broken swords. I don't know the origins of the people on both sides. Basically, not a single corpse is complete.

They were either headless or missing arms and legs, and they were all wearing Ming Dynasty-style armor, like regular soldiers of the imperial court. And the base of this town platform was as empty as the previous two platforms.

Qin Ge was depressed again. After Zhang Guozhong persuaded him, he managed to cheer up and went to the next "True Immortal Terrace".

"Zhenxiantai", like "Xingshu Platform", is built in a cave. It is less than 5 miles away from "Kunxian Platform". It is the two closest platforms. Old Liu took a step to take a look at the sky formation, but the yellow flag did not move at all.

, so he entered through a thin cave entrance, and the space became wider and wider as he walked, but the deeper he went, the more something was wrong. From time to time, there were two or three ancient people embedded in the wall on both sides of the cave. Due to the humid environment of the cave and the strong Yin Qi,

The decomposition of these people is not very serious. But the strangest thing is that the corpses in several troughs on the wall are seriously decomposed, and the iron bars are broken. The corpses are lying on their sides in the troughs, as if they have been dragged out. I don’t know where they were originally.

It was like this when the town tower was built, but it was destroyed later.

"Prison death..." Old Liu Tou pulled out the dagger, "How come there is still such a thing in the Tang Dynasty?"

Imprisonment and sacrifice is a type of soul-preserving method. It is said to have originated in the Sui Dynasty. Although it is powerful, because the amount of work required is no less than building a mechanism, few people use this method to guard tombs. There are only records of the application of the soul-preserving method.

It's short-lived.

The method of martyrdom is to cut out human-shaped grooves in the wall, and then tie up the living people and embed them in the grooves. The grooves are one size smaller than the people embedded in them, so it is a good idea for people to be embedded alive.

It is very painful. After the inlay is completed, iron bars are nailed on the outside of the groove, and then left alone. It is so immoral that it is hilarious. And these people who died from squeezing and starvation are commonly known as "Khotan ghosts", and they are the most difficult evil.

One of the ghosts.

"It's strange..." Zhang Guozhong held the dragon scale tightly, "The other towns were all killed on the spot. Why did this town carry out time-consuming and laborious prison sacrifices?"

"Master Qin, don't worry..." Old Liu Tou said, "It seems that no one has been to this platform... I don't know what the yellow flag means if it doesn't move. Maybe it will be fine if you don't touch the platform...?"

Qin Ge was also happy and nervous. Old Liu Tou asked Village Chief Li to go to Yuanba Town and borrow the butcher's butcher's knife. Although it was funny, it was actually much more effective than his pistol.

The passage is about 50 meters long. There are thirty or forty prisoners on both sides. Old Liu's legs are getting softer and softer as he walks. A "thousand soul mandrill" is so difficult to deal with. There are dozens of prisoners in this dark place.

, if we all become "Khotan ghosts", I'm afraid I will have to admit defeat when the Patriarch comes.

The main part of the corridor was a small stone room with a square meter of only 30 square meters. It must have been a huge natural cave before, but walls were artificially built around it. Old Liu Tou knocked on the stone wall with the handle of his dagger. It seemed to be very thick.

The pedestal of the stone chamber was very obvious. It was in the middle of the stone chamber. Qin Ge illuminated the pedestal with a flash of his hand and saw that the pedestal was empty and there was nothing.

"Master Qin, don't worry, let's go to the next one..." Old Liu Tou was also a little embarrassed. Although Qin Ge is annoying, it's not good to hit others all the time.

"This..." Qin Ge didn't seem to be in a hurry, but squatted down and carefully observed the platform. "Headmaster Zhang, can you show me your piece of jade?"

Zhang Guozhong was puzzled, but he did not dare to attack Qin Ge at the moment, so he carefully handed the box containing the poisonous jade to Qin Ge. Qin Ge opened the lid with a snap, carefully looked at the appearance of the poisonous jade, and then looked at it again.

The base of the platform, and then took out the poisonous jade and wanted to place it on the platform.

"Stop!!!" Old Liu's face turned pale, "Now put this on the stage, are you tired of living?" Qin Ge was also stunned at this moment, he was too involved just now, how could such a low-level thing happen?

Thoughts? But…

"Headmaster Zhang, this seems to be the real platform where this jade is placed. Look..."

Following the light of Qin Ge's flashlight, Zhang Guozhong did find that a notch had been cut out on the base of the stone platform, which was very consistent with the side thickness of the poisonous jade. If the poisonous jade was really the platform, it should have been inserted upright.

In this notch.

At this moment, a snapping sound was heard outside the cave, like the sound of something breaking.

Old Liu Tou immediately took out his compass and saw that the pointer was pounding and had large deviations from time to time.

"The surname is Qin!!" Old Liu Tou couldn't bear it anymore, "Look at the good things you have done!!" He shined a flashlight towards the passage, and there seemed to be figures of twos and threes in the beam of light.

"Hurry! Set up the formation!" Old Liu Tou shouted. Based on Xing Suitai's experience, in such a dark place, the killing blade will not work. The only hope at this moment is the plan of "fighting fire with fire" planned in advance.

.

"No! It's too late!" That method was originally used to break the town platform. If the town platform was fixed, the "Shi Gen Formation" here would have enough time to extract Yin Qi from the ground, but at this moment, the figure in the distance was clearly there.

If you move around, the "Shi Gen Formation" won't have time to absorb the Yin Qi, and the enemy's position will change, making it completely unworkable.

Zhang Guozhong held the dragon scale tightly, jogged a few steps to the entrance of the stone corridor, picked up a small stone, and threw it at the figure not far away. There was a popping sound, and the stone seemed to hit something soft.

"Solid ones (in Maoshan teaching lingo, evil spirits charging at you are called hollow ones, and living corpses are called solid ones)...!" Zhang Guozhong looked around the surroundings and said, "Damn it, senior brother, what should we do!?"

I saw a small cave of about 30 square meters, surrounded by stone walls straight up and down. There was no place to hide, let alone running.
Chapter completed!
