Chapter 61 The stepping stone
Zhang Guozhong turned around and shook his flashlight, and saw someone standing behind him. To be precise, something stood there.
I saw that this thing was at most three feet tall, and looked like a person, but it looked like a person, but only had the upper body, arms but no legs. The entire front half was wrapped with thick rotten leaves, and some bones on the top of the head were exposed from the cracks of the leaves. The singing just now seemed to be the ones that came out.
Zhang Guozhong shook his flashlight and the singing suddenly stopped. He saw this thing grabbing Zhang Guozhong's ankle with his hands, and his whole body suddenly trembled, and the rotten leaves also sounded loudly.
"I'll go, your mother..." Zhang Guozhong pulled a dagger and cut off the hand that was holding his ankle. Then he used a dagger to slash straight at the neck of the thing. He felt that the dagger seemed to be cut on tofu, and there was basically no resistance. The head of the thing opposite was cut off and rolled down the path to the mountain, leaving a dark aura.
"Why are there any earth demons in the mountains?" Zhang Guozhong thought to himself, seeing that the thing opposite had no resistance, he kicked the headless body more than ten feet away.
The Earth Demon is a kind of magical little monster that has been rumored in the countryside. It is said that it is a three-foot-high villain with a body of festering and able to sing. If anyone turns back after hearing the Earth Demon's singing, it can be a serious illness or a serious death. But in fact, the Earth Demon is a kind of resentful corpse formed in a special environment, and animals must use this resentful body to rest in the immortal form to form. The real Earth Demon only resents the corpse and qi. If you only hear the sing, it will not cause harm to human physiology.
According to the Maoshan Technique, the appearance of the Earth Demon requires very special or coincidental conditions. First, the deceased must die at the hands of a living person; second, the body of the deceased must be buried in a place where the yin energy and a strong place, such as the yin pool, where the resentment of the deceased cannot be dispersed and cannot be reincarnated; second, the body of the deceased must be destroyed after death, resulting in aggravation of resentment (such as landslides, plant rhizome growth and other factors); finally, near the place where the corpse is buried, there must be a resentment animal to use.
In nature, even the possibility of a resentful corpse in a mass grave is very small, and one cannot be found in a thousand miles. Why can there be such a thing in this wilderness?
Zhang Guozhong was thinking about it, but suddenly noticed a few black things falling from the ground. He lowered his head and picked it up. It was a Buddhist bead, which was obviously the one that fell when he used a dagger to cut off the earth demon's head. Then he shone it carefully with a flashlight, and there were other places.
"Monk!" Zhang Guozhong thought quickly, and the earth demon in front of him was obviously transformed from the monk's corpse...
The "Eighteen Nether Dings" need a boy... The Earth Demon at this moment is the corpse of the "monk"...
"So that's it...!" Zhang Guozhong suddenly realized and felt excited. At that time, Zhao Mingchuan must have tricked a group of monks up the mountain under the name of building a temple, and then killed them together, and made the "Eighteen Ming Dings" who guarded the treasure land. Therefore, there is no temple on the mountain at all. The temple marked on the picture is probably the place where the Tibetan seal is hidden!
"Although no ancient book records the method of breaking the 'Eighteen Ming Ding' in detail, nature seems to have broken the formation two veins..." Zhang Guozhong thought secretly, "When he killed the monks, Zhao Mingchuan might have buried the monks' bodies shallowly under the tree (Maoshan Shu said: Shade is yin, and there is wood without yang. There is shade under the tree, and the sun cannot shine. If the yang energy is weak, it will gather yin energy.) or other places where the yin gathers, but after nearly a hundred years, a tree next to the corpse had simply grown the corpse that was buried under the shade into the tree hole...
At this moment, the appearance of the monk Earth Demon (it is likely because the landslide destroyed the body, and there were animals cultivating immortals around it, so the Earth Demon was formed), which proved that another lineage had been broken... It seems that Zhao Mingchuan's methods were far worse than his ancestor Zhao Sange. In just a few decades, there were only sixteen Eighteen Nether Dings left. If the remaining sixteen Eighteen Eyes and a few Flower Monks who became monks halfway, then the so-called Eighteen Nether Dings should be nothing..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Guozhong tightly grasped the dagger and returned to the camping cliff in two steps.
"Senior Brother!?Mr. Qin!" Zhang Guozhong found that Old Liu's head, Qin Ge and Song Kuan were lying on the stone cliff with their feet facing the sky, with their eyes wide open, and black water flowing downwards. I don't know if it was blood or something else.
"This is the damn..." When he walked closer to the front and took his pulse, Zhang Guozhong found that the connections of several people were normal, but they did not blink or speak, as if they had lost their souls. The pupils in their eyes had disappeared. Under the strong light of the flashlight, the entire black eyeball had turned into a black ball.
Looking around, there was no so-called team of Hell's chariots, "Eighteen Ming Ding... Today I will make you become Eighteen waste!" Zhang Guozhong inserted his dagger into his waist, carried Old Liu's head on his back, and walked along the path just now towards the pit where Li Ruixue was hiding... When everyone was caught, Li Ruixue was fine after all, which proved that it seemed to be safer there.
"Oh, Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" Li Ruixue was already scared to pee her pants at this moment, but fortunately she didn't dare to move.
"Master Li, please do me a favor..." Zhang Guozhong put Lao Liu's head in a "big" shape in the grass, "Pull his eyelids with your hands, don't let him close his eyes!" Zhang Guozhong asked Li Ruixue, while taking out a handful of incense and lit it around the outline of Lao Liu's head. He stood one foot away and used a copper coin to form a personal shape.
As Zhang Guozhong yelled, Old Liu sat up with a swish. "Ah..." Old Liu stretched out and said, "What happened just now?"
"Senior brother, there are indeed Eighteen Ming Dings above, but it seems that they have been broken a lot... I'll save them now..." After that, Zhang Guozhong picked up the dagger and prepared to return to Shiyazi to save people.
"Back...come back!" Old Liu grabbed Zhang Guozhong's clothes with his head, "Then maybe there is the pulse eye. You go over and ask for death!"
"You are all obsessed with it, I'm fine," Zhang Guozhong determined, "Maybe I'm a powerful guy (Ask the Sky Dagger)... You should look at Master Li first..." After that, Zhang Guozhong climbed up the Shiyazi again and carried Qin Ge and Song Kuan back in two rounds.
"It's weird..." After Qin Ge and Song Kuan woke up, Old Liu also started to think about it, "Why, you guys are nothing, and our brothers are all caught...?" At this time, Zhang Guozhong learned that when he left Shiyazi to find Li Ruixue, Old Liu and the other two felt the same feeling, and then they lost their memory. They did not regain consciousness until they were carried down by Shiyazi and broke down.
"Let me think about it... Senior brother... I..." Zhang Guozhong suddenly remembered that the dead jade dug out by Uncle Seven's family was always in his bag, "I understand, I carry that dead jade on my body! So it's okay! This is probably a stepping stone!"
"The stepping stone?" Old Liu frowned...
Stepping stones are a medium of the ancient "combination burial method". In ancient times, a considerable number of couples could not end together, thus giving birth to the "stepping stones" in complex tombs, that is, the key to "first the soldiers into the hall, and then the soldiers continued their relationship". Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, some nobles and officials often built tombs for themselves during their lifetime, and set up complex tomb formations or anti-grave robbery bureaus. If they die but their wives and concubines are not dead, they will leave a "stepping stone" to their wives and concubines whom they loved during their lifetime, so that these wives and concubines can be buried smoothly with themselves after their death without touching those evil and crooked formations. In other words, this so-called "stepping stones" are the "back door" of those complex formations.
"No wonder that old guy Zhao Kuncheng wanted to get this thing away..." Old Liu said, "It turns out that he would not break this Eighteen Nether Ding..."
"That stone cliff may be a trap!" Zhang Guozhong said, "Based on the mountain road, that stone cliff is exactly where you can go by climbing a mountain road for a day, and it happens to be camping at night! So the "Eighteen Ming Ding" may have the stone cliff around! But according to the terrain, it is the "tiger's mouth" and it is the only way to enter the treasure land!"
"So the 'Eighteen Ming Ding''''s eye is on the stone cliff. Anyone who dares to spend the night there will be one to die!" Lao Liu continued, "If you don't have that stepping stone on your hand, you have to admit defeat no matter how good your ability is!"
"Yeah! I suspect that Zhao Mingchuan might have wanted to lead Uncle Qi's grandfather to this place back then. Even if he couldn't die, Zhao Mingchuan would make up for it. However, Uncle Qi's grandfather was not fooled, but killed him instead..." Zhang Guozhong continued to analyze, "If Uncle Qi's grandfather was deceived here like these monks, he would probably not be as good as the Liao family now..."
"So... now... we can only have one person in?" Qin Ge seemed to have heard some tricks.
"That's right..." Old Liu said, "Guozhong took the stepping stone to go in first, there should be no problem! I will find a way to break the Eighteen Ming Dings before dawn tomorrow and try to let everyone in..."
"Why should it be before dawn?" Song Kuan said, "Aren't you clearer after dawn?"
"If it's dawn, you won't be able to find a place..." Old Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "If you leave a place to knock on the ground, you can only enter at night and not break in the daytime. Otherwise, you will be lost at the least, and your life will be lost! If you can find a place during the day, you should have been digging it for so many years, right?"
"Take care!" Zhang Guozhong put the dead jade in his arms, took a lot of materials from Lao Liu's package, and replaced the flashlight with a new battery. "If everything goes well, I will come back tomorrow morning, and everything will be decided by then!" After that, he turned on the flashlight and crawled straight towards Shiyazi...
"Let's not move, stay where we are!" Old Liu stayed at the scene to command, serious, "Everyone listens to me, don't act privately! If we make a little deviation, Guozhong will be in danger!" After that, Old Liu took out his compass and began to roughly draw the surrounding terrain on the ground.
"Brother Liu!" At this time, Li Ruixue came over again, "Call Brother Zhang back... let's... go back!"
"If you go back now, you can give you two hundred yuan. If you don't want to, I'll make the decision!" Old Liu was too lazy to look up at him, and he was drawing pictures underground while dealing with it.
"Brother Liu, this...is not a matter of money or not. My family... also has a wife and children!" Li Ruixue stuttered, "I grew up in the mountains since I was a child. I am used to seeing these messy things, and I am not too afraid, but... but today is so evil..."
"What's wrong?" Old Liu raised his head, "If you want to keep it, I'll give you money now and go back yourself..."
"Brother Liu, you... look over there..." Li Ruixue trembled and pointed at the side of the mountain, "Evil clouds appear in the sky, blood will be seen. Brother Liu..., we brothers are destined to be. Even if I go back by myself, I can't watch everyone take their lives... not...Brother Liu...Mr. Liu! Let's... let's go back..."
"Evil Cloud?" Old Liu looked in the direction of Li Ruixue's finger, "It's dark, where does the evil cloud come from?"...
