Chapter 107 Stone Town

Wu Lianhuan pointed to the location in the middle of the pile of rocks. It was said to be a pile of rocks, but it looked more like a huge rock shattered into dozens. After years of wind and sun exposure, the edges of these gravels had become smooth, but the patterns of the broken stones in the past can still be seen.

After seeing the pile of rocks, Monk Xiao glared at him and blurted out: "Shizhen--"

After saying these two words, Monk Xiao turned his head and looked at Wu Lianhuan, paused for a moment, and continued, "Why didn't you say it earlier? I said that after going up the mountain, why did the sky eye not work well and you can't feel anything. I thought I was old and God didn't want to waste things, so I took the sky eye back. I was so scared that I didn't sleep well last night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Ran, Mengqiqi and Zhang Zhiyan all had a hint of embarrassment on their faces. Looking at the expressions of these people, I felt ashamed in my heart. It turned out that the decline in eyesight and perception after going up the mountain was not the reason for me. It turned out that none of them had run away, but no one was embarrassed to say it.

Shizhen appeared almost the same as Yin and Yang Tombs. Its appearance was to prevent some technical tomb robbers at that time. At that time, some laid-off Taoists who were expelled from Taoist temples had almost no other skills to eat except for fortune-telling and physiognomy on the street. In the off-season, fortune-tellers had no food to eat and starved to death at the divination stalls.

Over time, a few of these laid-off Taoists appeared. They used the Yin-Yang and Five Elements techniques they learned in the Taoist temple, plus some props such as compass to assist them. They often found some ancient tombs of the dynasty hidden in the deep mountains and forests. In the end, even in addition to the ancestral tombs guarded by people, the contemporary tombs were also excavated by these laid-off Taoists with technology. It was to guard against these people that they had something like Shizhen.

To put it bluntly, Shizhen is just a big broken stone, but it has some excessive demands on the source of this big stone. This big stone had a special name at that time - Sin Ba.

During the East and West Han Dynasty, the killing of prisoners had to be carried out at specific locations. In addition to the special prisoners being executed on the spot, the death row prisoners were usually escorted to the local county at a specific time and were executed by the county magistrate. Because there were too many prisoners killed at one time, they were entangled in order to cause unintentional disasters to the local people. Before each time, before killing a prisoner, they had to bury a huge rock with Taoist priests in the underground of the execution ground while there was no one at night to absorb the resentment of the prisoner after death.

After burying the huge rock, bury wooden stakes directly above the huge rock. The wooden stakes on it are also of particular importance. Generally, seventeen deep troughs are carved around the wooden stakes so that the blood of the prisoners can flow underground along these seventeen blood troughs and seep to the surface of the huge rock underground. From the moment they come into contact with the blood of the prisoners, the huge rock has a new name - sin diapers, and obtaining is sin diapers.

After the execution of the prisoner, the Baptist cannot be taken out immediately. It must be buried underground for nine years and accumulated nine years of resentment. Nine years later, when there is no one in the middle of the night, the Taoist (or fellow disciple) who cast the spell will lead people to take out the sin. The Taoist practiced on the spot, but was not to eliminate the resentment accumulated in the area of ​​the Sin Baptist, but to seal the resentment in the big stones and not to be easily released. After the practice was completed, the Taoist chose the site and buried the big stones deep in the mountains and forests, or directly sank the rivers and seas.

Some Taoists also took the benefits of wealthy families, and there were many people who sold the sins and exchanged them for money. After these wealthy families were infected with sins, they would transport them to the tombs of their ancestors to expose them to the sun for nine days. At noon on the ninth day, they would break the sins and use a hammer to continue to be exposed to the sun.

After being exposed to the sun, the resentment cannot dissipate upwards, but can only go deep into the surface and into the earth veins. Because of the sinful temple, these resentment can only be moved within a limited range of the earth veins. However, the position where the resentment goes, whether it is the heavenly eye or the compass, will be blocked. Such a formation is called Shizhen. After the birth of Shizhen, many Taoists who had relied on exploring the cemetery to find treasures were completely lost. Most of them returned to the streets to set up stalls to tell fortunes, and some began to plan a more deviant path. One of these people was named Zhang Jiao...

Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was dragged down by the Zhangjiao Taipingdao Uprising. Some of the formations that were popular at that time were explicitly abolished. Formations like Shizhen were regarded as remnants of the Yellow Turbans and disappeared naturally not long after.

Among us, only Fatty Sun's face was normal, and it seemed that he had not been seen by Shizhen. At first I wondered why among us, this Fatty, was not seen by this Fatty. When I asked him, Fatty Sun's answer surprised me: "The sky eye is blocked? No, didn't I say that there is nothing special here, how far you can see outside, you can still see as far as the mountain. Spicy, don't listen to Lao Xiao's nonsense, he is old and presbyopia, it has nothing to do with the sky eye or not."

I thought about Fatty Sun's words for a long time before I figured it out. It turned out that this fat man's sky eyes were so weak that unless there was a living ghost standing in front of him, otherwise he would probably not be able to see anything. He just looked at him, but it was a pity that his brain...

After seeing Shizhen, Monk Xiao frowned and said to Wu Lianhuan: "I said that Diao's surname cannot even tell the Yin-Yang Qiaoka. But why didn't you say it earlier if there is Shizhen here? Just looking at us like blind people, are we rushing around like blind people? Once there is any life-threatening formation here, just watch us break forward with our eyes closed?"

Wu Lianhuan smiled and said, "Isn't this me still there? It's not that I'm boasting that our Wu family has no other skills, but when it comes to visiting the tombs, we have our own way. If we don't act like the other three families, we can't play with the compass."

When Wu Lianhuan was speaking, Huang Ran was squatting in front of Shizhen, squinting his eyes and looking at the center of the cracked stone. After Wu Lianhuan finished speaking, Huang Ran asked: "The center of Shizhen is the entrance of the tomb. This is the first time I have seen such a tomb layout. Mr. Wu, you are an expert. Is there any particularity in this layout?"

Wu Lianhuan turned around, sucked his teeth, and said, "So here, evil nature, it seems that this fight is not afraid of being knocked down at all. Come with me and show you something."

As he said that, Wu Lianhuan took us to a deep pit about ten meters away from Shi Town. The pit was full of dead branches, leaves and snow. Just when I was wondering what Wu Lianhuan meant, he saw him breaking a branch from the pine tree next to him. He swept the dead branches and snow in the pit aside, revealing more than a dozen mummies inside.

Suddenly seeing this, those of us who followed us frowned. Fatty Sun took a step back and rolled his eyes and said to Wu Lianhuan: "Old Wu, you can't see it. You can't hide it deeply. You killed these people? What does it mean to bring us here? You also want to fill in the pits of our brothers?"

"Director Sun, don't scare me, how dare I?" Wu Lianhuan waved his hand quickly. After pausing, he pointed to the mummy below and continued: "Look carefully, these rice dumplings are the earliest people from the Republic of China. They are not as good as me at that time..."

When Wu Lianhuan was speaking, I had already seen a piece of ragged cloth hanging on the top of the mummies. One of them had a rusty box cannon on the waist, which looked like the style of the Republic of China. Although the clothes on the exposed mummies below had decayed, the mummies had a long braid behind their heads. At a glance, you could tell that they were the unlucky guys who stayed here during the Qing Dynasty.

The mummies below were frozen by the accumulated water in the deep pit. Most of the mummies could be seen vaguely, and it was impossible to tell what time they were.

When I was observing the pit, I heard Wu Lianhuan pointing to Monk Xiao, Huang Ran and the others said, "When I came here, I saw the entrance of the tomb facing Shizhen, so I didn't dare to walk from there. After walking around here, I found a "back door" behind the tomb. I thought I had found another way, but I didn't expect that after entering, I would be covered with rice dumplings. Now it looks almost rotten. In addition to being dried, the clothes on these rice dumplings can be seen at that time. The innermost rice dumplings are all braids on the forehead and the clothes on them are all from the Yuan Dynasty. This rice dumplings carry letter paper on them, and they are written from the Yuan Dynasty. Unfortunately, the letter paper has weathered and turns into dust when touched."

Speaking of this, Wu Lianhuan's face changed a little. It seemed that he was recalling the scene in the "back door" inside, and he was still a little chilling. After pausing for a while, he continued, "There was a formation in it, and he couldn't come out after entering. To be shameless, this is me. I finally ran out of it by using the family method..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Fatty Sun: "Then you find your conscience and go back and bring these guys out and put them here to bask in the sun? Haha, Lao Wu, what are you saying at once? You are an expert in fighting back, and I will let you two tell you lies."
