The Legend of the Undying Part 2: Retribution of Wrongs
After hearing what Chen Guanyun said, Liu Zhaotong became interested and hoped to see where Wang Ji refined the "Quan Dan" at that time. But unfortunately, the secret passage in which Wang Ji was in seclusion had already been closed by the presidency, so Liu Zhaotong had to return to Baoqing again.
After returning to the Liu family, Liu Zhaotong expressed his thoughts to the butler Zhou Liang that he wanted to take care of this nostalgic business. Of course, Zhou Liang thanked him very much, but he said that he didn't have much money. Because the master died suddenly, the gold and silver were hidden wherever he had no time to say it. When the servants were scattered, several people wanted to take advantage of the situation to get some silver before leaving, but they looked through the Liu family's mansion, and they couldn't find a steel collapse. So at this moment, Zhou Liang said that at most, he could only raise some travel expenses for Liu Zhaotong. But Liu Zhaotong had long no longer cared about money, just like modern scientific giants who could sell their property and pay for research to understand the mystery of science. As a "Taoism Giant", what's the harm of taking some time to go in?
Like the three ghost immortals at the beginning, Liu Zhaotong first touched the "Seven Passes" of Baoqing Mansion and found that the yin and yang direction of Baoqing Mansion was very strange and completely inconsistent with common sense. At the "Eye of the Earth" of the city, when the time of Hai and Zi alternation was alternating, there was no yin energy. Through observation of the rat hole and ant hole in the city, Liu Zhaotong even found that the direction of the yang energy of Baoqing Mansion, which was positioned by traditional methods, was wrong. In other words, the real "Seven Passes" position of Baoqing Mansion is no longer determined by traditional methods such as "star-gazing" and "crossing the nine-year-old".
"Can someone change the Yin and Yang veins of the entire Baoqing Mansion??" Liu Zhaotong couldn't believe his speculation. Trying to the Qiguan has always been a taboo among the Taoist sects. The Qiguan's veins are just sealing the pulse eyes for a short time (similar to the "Seven-Star Nail Soul Array" used by Ma Chunyi Zhenren in Li Village) is enough to break the life span for decades. If the entire Yin and Yang direction are completely changed, the caster will probably die suddenly before the casting is over. But what makes Liu Zhaotong even more inconspicuous is that if the position of the Qiguan is determined according to the traditional method, the location of the Yang Qi in the Qiguan, which is the strongest Yang Qi, is correct, that is, the place where the Liu family dug out the iron coffin, and the location of the other six levels is unreasonable.
"Is it possible that these three iron coffins changed the location of the seven gates? Changed Baoqing's yin and yang? Was it a coincidence or intentional arrangement?" With these questions, Liu Zhaotong began to inquire about the streets again. Later, he found out about the "Baoqing strange case" and the later moving of the county government, as well as the three ghost immortals' practice of suppressing evil. Of course, in the mouth of the storyteller, this kind of story is regarded as a "book", and the cause and effect are almost exaggerated and magical. When it is said, there are not many people who believe it, that is, they just listen to it as a Le'er, but this story is not just "Le'er" in Liu Zhaotong's ears.
After learning that the county government had moved home, Liu Zhaotong pulled the housekeeper Zhou Liang to the county government again. He said that Zhou Liang had some friendship with the master at that time. After all, he was the general manager of a wealthy family. He borrowed the original "Baoqing County Chronicle" without much effort. After comparing with the map on the county government, Liu Zhaotong found that if Baoqing's "Seven Passes" were determined according to the normal method, then Baoqing's "Eye" should be near the original site of the county government. Combined with the storyteller's "Baoqing Qi Case" that Chen Qiaoer was unjustly killed in prison in the "Baoqing Qi Case", Liu Zhaotong roughly speculated what happened:
The place where Chen Qiaoer died unjustly was the "Eye of Earth" in Baoqing Mansion. The "Eye of Earth" cannot be cured, so Wang Ji used a stupid method back then, which was to change the direction of the yin and yang of Baoqing Mansion, and the position of the "Eye of Earth" was changed. Without the yin energy of the "Eye of Earth", it turned out that the resentful souls in the position of the "Eye of Earth" were easy to deal with.
Thinking of this, the problem arises again. Changing the earthly eyes is a trick of "death". No matter how skilled the Taoist technique is, no one can think of it alone, especially in a big city like Baoqing with a population of tens of thousands. Based on his own level, at least seven or eight people have to "death relay" to complete it. However, according to the presiding of Gan Xuguan, Wang Ji was less than 20 years old when he cast the spell in Baoqing, and no other Taoist people participated in the practice. At a young age, how could he complete such a huge project alone? Could it be that the "Quan Dan" invented by Shuang Huaizi is working? Thinking of this, Liu Zhaotong thought of the three iron coffins in the backyard of the Liu family.
When I arrived at the coffin digging site, I saw three large black iron coffins inserted into a large pit, and there was a wooden shelf with slings hanging on it and not removed. In the pit, a coffin was inserted obliquely into the soil. I guess this was the iron coffin that was once hung up but broke the rope because it was too heavy. Next to this coffin, there was a large pit, which was in the shape and size of the coffin head, and it should be where the coffin was originally buried.
After jumping into the pit, Liu Zhaotong carefully checked the pit and dug a few shovels down with a shovel. He found that there seemed to be some broken strips of broken jade in the soil. Seeing that the stubble mouth should be broken, it should have been buried before the iron coffin was buried. Later, when the coffin was dug, the coffin was broken and smashed when it fell. Liu Zhaotong couldn't help but realize that these jades were not burial objects, and the pattern carved on it turned out to be "Mingquo". After digging a few more shovels, Liu Zhaotong found that the jade should be ring-shaped, and it was made up of some loose jade, and was placed under the three iron coffins. These three iron coffins should also have gaps or holes connected to the circular "Mingquo". It is not difficult to explain why the Liu family died after the coffin was moved: the coffin crushed the jade "Mingquo" and the things inside came out!
Since there is a "Ming Canal" connected under the iron coffin, it means that although the iron coffin is isolated from the outside world, the yin and yang between the three coffins seem to be interconnected. Why should it be arranged like this? The coffins are made of iron, so why should the three coffins communicate with each other?
Thinking of this, Liu Zhaotong had to think of another victim of the "Baoqing Qi Case", the owner of the Wang Family Fabric Shop "Wang Kun".
If you want to speculate who the three-dog coffin is, then the most reasonable explanation is that Wang Kun, Chen Qiaoer and Wang Ji's family of three. According to Taoism, no matter how resentful the evil ghost is, there are things that are most afraid of. Compared with the treasure blade talisman, the evil ghost is more afraid of what they were afraid of during their lifetime. For example, if someone is born in debt when he dies, then the most feared of his soul is his creditor during his lifetime. By the same token, since Chen Qiaoer has an affair with the adulterer Zhang Chao,
The thing she feared most during her lifetime was that her husband and children knew about the affair. Because she was too resentful when she died and was wearing red clothes, her resentful soul could not be saved. As her biological son, Wang Ji could not bear to break up his mother's soul, so he came up with such a way to "suppress" her mother's resentful soul with her and her father's body. The change in position at Baoqing's seventh Pass was entirely attributed to the three iron coffins and the "Mingquo" below.
Although the iron coffin is isolated from the yin and yang in the world, the Ming Canal below is an "open" environment. The place where the coffin is buried is the "Yunken Pass" with the largest yang energy in Baoqing. Put a Ming Canal in the eyes of the "Yunken Pass" Pass and let huge resentment wander there will inevitably interfere with the direction of the Yang Qi. In this way, it is not surprising that the location of the seven gates of Baoqing Mansion has changed.
After analyzing this, Liu Zhaotong had to sigh at Wang Ji's good intentions. Although he did not understand what Shuang Huaizi called "Qiu Dan" in the end, Liu Zhaotong had gained insight.
But if you have a long experience, since you have agreed to the butler Zhou Liang to deal with the Liu family's affairs, you must at least get rid of these coffins... Thinking of this, Liu Zhaotong was worried again. The things in the coffin were full of resentment, and the Mingqu had been destroyed. Fortunately, this place is "Yunken Pass". The place with the strongest yang energy in the city, that is, five people died in the Liu family. If the yang energy in another place is weak, wouldn't the evil and evil scene in the storyteller's mouth repeat?
After half a month of hard thinking, Liu Zhaotong finally developed a theoretically feasible method, which is the so-called "Zhu Soul Array" in later generations. The principle is to use 64 people to set up eight "Eight Yang Arrays" around the iron coffin. These eight small "Eight Yang Arrays" each have their own array eyes and form a large "Eight Yang Town" to shock evil spirits, because people can move around. The so-called "Zhu Soul Array" is like an armored armored car that can transport resentful souls to a designated position without disturbing resentful souls. However, this array requires that everyone in the array must maintain a highly consistent pace, just like modern military parades. If the error of one person in the array is too large, it will lead to the failure of the entire array. If the array is really a shocking monster, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.
Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu all had their eyes wide open, and they didn't know where Dai Jinshuang heard these gossip stories. "So... are you sure that those mountain people are carrying their apprentices in the coffins?" Lao Liu asked.
"It was because of this story that I confirmed that it was contained in the coffin, not my apprentice!" Dai Jinshuang smiled slightly.
"Isn't it your apprentice?" Zhang Guozhong was completely confused. "Didn't the people in the mountains say that the person lying in the coffin was Ge Shenxian? Could it be a coincidence? That Ge Shenxian was not Ge Min?"
"It's Ge Min! Ge Min from Qianyuan Temple in Maoshan!" Dai Jinshuang said, "Otherwise, how could he use Maoshan's formation?"
"Is Ge Min your apprentice?" Zhang Guozhong was completely confused.
"No, no," Dai Jin said.
"Is it Ge Min in the coffin?" Old Liu felt that the three people were performing sketches at the Spring Festival Gala.
"It's Ge Min in the coffin! But it's not my apprentice!" Dai Jinshuang seemed to be pretending to be mysterious, "It's like I glanced at me, I'm Dai Jinshuang, not Dai Zhenyun..." After that, Dai Jinshuang took off her sunglasses again, revealing two black-glazed eyeballs...

Mingqu: Mingqu is a medium for the flow of yin energy. Maoshan Technique believes that an artifact can only block an evil ghost or other resentment. If there are too many, you may be afraid of escaping. In ancient times, many evil magic weapons from Maoshan descendants in the ghost-exorcist town were passed down by ancestors or masters (the so-called magic weapons are at most a good-quality dead jade, not something as meticulously crafted as the pagoda of Tota Li Tianwang). It is impossible to abandon the treasures passed down by the master for a little ghost and monster that is not worth mentioning, so there is a "Mingqu"
