The body of the deceased was transported back to the Kou family ancestral temple and placed in the courtyard. The deceased's girlfriend was also escorted to the ancestral temple and locked up. Father Kou and others heard the noise and came over. They were quite surprised to see the body of the deceased. Kou Xuanling told them everything he knew. After hearing the whole story, Father Kou thought deeply and said, "Although few people know about the ancient tomb in Tiewei Mountain, it was not a secret 20 or 30 years ago. The older generation knew about it, but they were not allowed to enter the ancient tomb. These two people must have heard about the previous situation and did not believe that the ancient tomb was dangerous, so they dared to trespass."
Chen Yang: "Is there an ancient tomb in Tiewei Mountain?"
"Yes." Kou Xuanling nodded and said, "But as my father said, few people know about it now. Tiewei Mountain is very evil. I don't know if it's because of the ancient tomb. Anyway, the mountain is very gloomy. It is shrouded in fog in the morning and afternoon, and the sun can't shine in. There are very few animals. When you walk to the foot of the mountain, you will feel gloomy and ominous."
"Has that ancient tomb existed for a long time?"
"I don't know, at least thousands of years. There are records in the family tree, and the tomb cannot be moved. The Kou family chose this place for their ancestral home, firstly, Bijia Mountain, and secondly, to protect Tiewei Mountain and prevent the things inside from escaping." After a pause, Kou Xuanling added: "I don't know what is hidden in the ancient tomb, but the records about the ancient tomb in the Kou family's ancestral precepts seem to mention it, but it is only briefly mentioned without details."
Chen Yang said to Mr. Kou, "There are some things in the body of the deceased. Uncle Kou, please come and take a look." After that, he took a knife and gently cut open the skin of the deceased. Black snakes as thick as an adult's thumb and about 7 or 8 centimeters long rushed out from the gap in the skin. The deceased had just died not long ago, but when the skin was cut open, no blood flowed out. "Uncle Kou, look, his body is full of these black snakes. They should have hatched after his death and are growing very fast. I remember that they were as thin as silk threads at first, and they grew rapidly after sucking blood and flesh."
Before Kou's father could answer, Lu Xiuzhi, who had been acting as a background beside Kou Xuanling, glanced at the black snakes crawling on the ground and whispered, "Foulness."
Chen Yang: “What?”
Father Kou only discovered Lu Xiuzhi's existence at this time. He knew that Kou Xuanling brought back two friends, but he had always ignored Lu Xiuzhi. Even he didn't know why he ignored Lu Xiuzhi. Now that he noticed him, he found that he was also a handsome man. Such a person should not be ignored. Maybe some people are born with a low sense of existence.
"These black snakes are indeed transformed from evil spirits." Father Kou nodded, and then asked Lu Xiuzhi with admiration: "You knew it was evil spirits at first glance?"
Lu Xiuzhi: “I’ve read about it in a book.”
"It seems that you have read a lot of books." Father Kou said with a smile.
Chen Yang felt that the way Kou's father looked at Lu Xiuzhi was like a father-in-law who was very satisfied with his son-in-law. He lowered his eyes and said, "What is resentment? The person who was burned to death with the litchi tree just now did not even have a scar on his skin."
Father Kou said, "Grudges are evil things that come from ancient tombs that are thousands of years old. Grudges and foul air accumulate in ancient tombs that are cut off from vitality and yang energy, and this is what happens. Grudges usually form snake eggs and hide in water. If someone eats them by mistake, they will live in the human body because the human body temperature is suitable for hatching, and the hatched eggs have flesh and blood as nutrients, so they grow very fast. Grudges are difficult to form, unless it is an ancient tomb with a lot of resentment."
"The deceased must have entered the ancient tomb of Tiewei Mountain and accidentally ate the eggs of the resentful filth. The resentful filth gathered in the deceased's throat and hatched, blocking the trachea. The deceased had difficulty breathing, so he scratched his throat and suffocated to death. After death, the resentful filth hatched." Chen Yang roughly guessed the cause of death based on the deceased's wounds and the growth rate of the black snake. He asked: "The fire can't kill the resentful filth, is there a way to remove it?"
"Use salt." Kou's father asked someone to bring salt. "Salt has the effect of corroding evil things." After the salt was brought, Kou's father grabbed a handful and sprinkled it on the resentful snakes. The group of black snakes showed a violent reaction and tried to escape, but after a while they curled up into a ball and gradually melted into black water. "This black water will be covered with lychee leaves to remove the evil spirits. Otherwise, it will accidentally mix into the water and be drunk by people, which will make them sick."
Chen Yang took the salt from Kou's father's hand, and there were four people beside him holding bowls of salt. They were on full alert, and the filth inside the dead man's body twisted wildly, and his skin was bulging and sinking deeply. After a while, the skin cracked open, and the black snakes inside rushed out wildly, and soon the ground was full of black snakes.
Chen Yang and the others poured the salt quickly, and stepped back after pouring all the salt. Kou Xuanling and Lu Xiuzhi took his place and continued to pour the salt, corroding all the resentment and filth into black water. After purifying a lot with salt, they used litchi leaves to cover the ground and set them on fire to drive away the evil spirits.
Chen Yang looked back: "The deceased's girlfriend seemed to know something." He reminded Kou Xuanling: "Remember she said she wanted revenge in the afternoon. When we proposed to burn the deceased's body, I heard her say 'too late'."
"Go ask." When Kou Xuanling suggested that she and Chen Yang go to ask the deceased's girlfriend, the person guarding her hurried over and shouted, "That woman committed suicide!"
The deceased's girlfriend committed suicide by hanging herself with the rope from the curtains. Before she died, her eyes were staring straight ahead, and the walls and ground beside her were covered with scratches from her struggle. After seeing this, Chen Yang said, "The rope was not high enough to hang her."
The deceased's girlfriend was able to commit suicide even though she was not high enough to hang herself, which shows that she was determined to die and full of hatred. She would turn into a ghost and come back for revenge. Kou Xuanling half-knelt in front of the deceased's girlfriend, and after a long silence, he said, "She probably didn't know about our Kou family."
In the Tianshi family, committing suicide and turning into a ghost to seek revenge can only be said to be full of confidence.
Lu Xiuzhi was standing behind Kou Xuanling. He lowered his eyes when he heard the words, with a doting smile in his eyes.
Chen Yang leaned over and touched the face of the deceased girlfriend. When he touched behind her ear, he paused and pressed, then pushed aside her long hair and pulled out a long needle from behind her ear. He then pulled out another long needle from behind her other ear and threw it on the ground. He then continued to pull out long needles from the deceased girlfriend's throat and limb joints.
Kou Xuanling opened his mouth slightly: "What's going on?"
"It is a long-lost magic. Long needles are inserted into the joints of the limbs and the seven orifices are sealed. Within three or four hours after a person dies, the soul that is about to leave the body is sealed up, and the person is disguised as alive to deceive the ghost messenger, and then revenge is taken on the enemy. This is a method similar to creating and enslaving zombies. Quanzhen, Zhengyi, and Maoshan all have similar magic. Look at the scratches on the ground. They are actually runes." Chen Yang pointed to the messy scratches on the ground and the wall. Looking closely, they really look like characters. "This is a magic in the ghost way, and the name is unknown. This kind of zombie is called a knife evil ghost. It is extremely powerful and is not afraid of the magic weapon of the heavenly master, because there are still complete three souls and seven spirits in the body. Unless there is a magic weapon that can shake the three souls and seven spirits out of the body, it is difficult to deal with."
The Book of Cursing Ghosts records the origin of the knife evil ghost, which combines arrays and long needles to imprison the soul in the corpse, and can be used to kill people. Because this knife evil ghost needs to trigger a specific mechanism to act, it will regard the person who triggered the mechanism as the murderer of itself and take revenge. So in addition to being created and used, you can also turn yourself into a knife evil ghost, which only requires a specific mechanism. One of the characteristics of the knife evil ghost is that it will "die with eyes wide open" unless the resentment is settled.
"So she would create a specific symbol and wait for us to trigger it." Chen Yang pulled open the eyelids of the deceased's girlfriend and opened them wider. He saw the shadows of himself and Kou Xuanling in those pupils, one on the left and one on the right. "The symbol is the two of us."
Kou Xuanling: "What do you mean?"
Chen Yang pointed at the dead man’s girlfriend’s eyes and said, “She took the images of the two of us as specific symbols and put them into her pupils. She would kill us if she saw us.”
Kou Xuanling was speechless for a long while: "What does it have to do with us?"
"Maybe she thought we were doing her a disservice... Yeah, I know why she said that strange thing. Because she knows this kind of magic, after her boyfriend died, she turned him into a zombie to avenge the townspeople. She probably thought it was the townspeople who killed her boyfriend, so she was determined to take revenge. The two of us destroyed her boyfriend's body and brought revenge upon him."
Kou Xuanling was quite shocked: "What a strange train of thought. Doesn't she know what she and her boyfriend did? The people in the town told us not to go into Tiewei Mountain, and when something happened, she assumed that the people in the town killed us. And then she turned around and hated us. This doesn't make sense."
Kou Xuanling was used to cause and effect, which was a kind of logic. The couple's thinking pattern was completely divorced from cause and effect, and there was no logic, so he didn't understand.
Chen Yang: "There are many people who lack logic." After saying that, he snapped his fingers in front of the deceased's girlfriend and closed her eyes. "Okay, you can report the case and let the police handle it."
Kou Xuanling: "Her magic was broken by you?"
"Um."
"Amazing." Kou Xuanling suddenly became interested in the Ghost Dao: "Are all the records of the Ghost Dao a combination of this kind of formation and magic? Quite interesting."
Lu Xiuzhi suddenly said: "The ghost path is not suitable for you."
"Ah?" Kou Xuanling looked up: "I know, I just think it's a little interesting. Even if I don't study, it's good to know more about it."
Lu Xiuzhi casually said, "I know about the Knife Demon Ghost." Kou Xuanling said 'Oh' and then praised him, "It's amazing." Lu Xiuzhi pursed his lips and said, "I also know about the evil spirits, and I know that salt can be used to drive them away. This includes many lost Taoist techniques, ghosts, etc."
Kou Xuanling: "Really?"
Lu Xiuzhi paused for a while, then said implicitly: "If you want to know, I can tell you."
Kou Xuanling was so happy that she pulled Lu Xiuzhi to talk. Chen Yang glanced at the two of them. When he passed by the front yard on his way back to his room, he found that the Kou family had dug out the river-suppressing beast from the pond on Bijia Mountain and placed it in the ancestral temple. Chen Yang glanced at it and complained to the group about Lu Xiuzhi and Kou Xuanling's behavior of always being indifferent to others.
But he was quickly mocked by Mao Daxian: [Brother Chen, when you said this, did you consider whether you were qualified? ]
Zhang Tianshi 67th generation: [You and Duju are usually even more excessive.]
Buddhist old man: [God has his own way.]
Chen Yang touched his nose in embarrassment, left the group and went to harass Lao Du: [… That’s it, but they said we were more excessive in normal times. Don’t you think we are usually very careful about our behavior?]
Du Shuo replied immediately: [Yes.]
Chen Yang: [??? So few words?]
Du Shuo: [Next time, let them see how you can't control your behavior.]
Chen Yang couldn't help laughing, and then thought of Lu Xiuzhi: [He gave me a familiar feeling, but I'm sure I've never seen him.]
Du Shuo: [If there is a problem, it will be exposed.]
Chen Yang felt that Du Shuo was right, so he left aside the matter between Lu Xiuzhi and Kou Xuanling and talked about the strange things that happened in the Kou family's ancestral tomb and the ancient tomb of Tiewei Mountain: [The name of Tiewei Mountain was cleverly acquired. In Buddhism, it is also called Diamond Mountain. Outside the small thousand worlds, there is a small thousand iron mountain with a circumference like a wheel. There are also iron mountains outside the middle thousand worlds and the big thousand worlds. Between the iron mountains is dark and there are eight hells. The sun and the moon are so powerful and virtuous that the sun and the moon cannot shine between the two mountains.]
After a while, Du Shuo's message came: [Is there only one Iron Enclosure Mountain?]
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then realized what Du Shuo meant by this question: [There is indeed only one.]
Du Shuo: [You can pay attention to the relationship between Tiewei Mountain and Bijia Mountain.]
Du Shuo's suggestion was like a revelation. Perhaps the destruction of the water mouth of Bijia Mountain was related to the ancient tomb in Tiewei Mountain. A black snake also appeared in the water pool of Bijia Mountain, although this black snake and Yuanhui are not of the same species. Chen Yang: [I will pay attention^v^, you should pay more attention to rest, don't be too busy, remember to think of me.] After sending it, I clicked on the emoji package and sent two rows of roses.
After a long while, Du Shuo said: [Good boy.]
After receiving the reply, Chen Yang immediately rolled over on the bed, buried his face in the pillow and smiled. After a while, he sat up again and flipped through the pictures saved in his phone. The pictures were either photos of Du Shuo alone or photos of the two of them together. Chen Yang scrolled through the pictures one by one, muttering to himself, "I miss Lao Du a little bit."
Looking at the photos and thinking about Du Shuo, I fell asleep without realizing it. My phone slipped out of my hand and hung dangerously on the edge of the bed. I didn't even cover myself with a blanket and fell asleep sitting up with my back against the pillow. This posture would definitely cause back pain when I woke up the next day.
The phone finally fell from the edge of the bed. When it was about to hit the ground, a hand reached out and steadily caught the phone and put it on the bedside table. Du Shuo, wearing a black robe with wide sleeves and painted with gold, picked up Chen Yang and changed him into a sleeping position. He stretched out the thin blanket folded at the end of the bed and covered Chen Yang. Chen Yang was sleeping soundly. He only felt the familiar breath, and his expression relaxed a lot, and fell into a deeper sleep.
Du Shuo smiled, stroked Chen Yang's cheek with his big hand, leaned over and kissed him goodnight. He typed a few words into his phone: If you need help, you can find the city god here.
The candlelight flickered outside the window. Lu Xiuzhi suddenly looked at the window of the house in front of him. The Kou family's ancestral home was an antique building, so the doors and windows were in the style of ancient buildings, and the furniture inside was very modern. At this time, the window in front of him was not closed tightly, and there was a gap as thick as an arm. Looking through the gap, there was no one inside except Chen Yang who was sleeping soundly.
Kou Xuanling was puzzled: "What?"
Lu Xiuzhi shook his head: "Nothing."
Kou Xuanling stepped forward to close the window, and left side by side with Lu Xiuzhi, walking lightly and speaking softly: "Don't you have a flashlight? Why are you holding a lantern? You can't even see the road clearly."
Lu Xiuzhi: "Can't you see the road clearly?"
Kou Xuanling: "No. I can see clearly. I mean the candlelight is dim and not as convenient as a flashlight."
Lu Xiuzhi chuckled: "I'd rather keep you here with a lantern to chat with you."
Kou Xuanling was amused.
In the darkness, a figure was sitting in Chen Yang's room. The figure was Du Shuo, who had not left yet, so he heard the conversation between Lu Xiuzhi and Kou Xuanling. At this moment, a look of surprise and interest flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared and returned to Fengdu.
When the sky was bright, the Kou family got up and went to the small hall. After breakfast, they set out to Bijia Mountain to move the ancestral tomb. Chen Yang got up and ate breakfast with them, and then went up the mountain. Moving the tomb could be a big or small matter, and it was necessary to choose a time, but now the situation was urgent and had to be moved as soon as possible.
When Chen Yang arrived at the place, he found that the Kou family had already set up the altar and inserted the first three incense sticks. The flags were moving in the wind and showed no signs of breaking. It seemed that the previous breakage was a reminder of the coming disaster, but now they agreed to move the grave. After Kou's father picked up the shovel and shoveled three times, he handed it over to others to dig the soil and open the coffin. This is very particular. The first three shovels of soil for moving the grave must be completed by descendants. If there are no descendants, a person with complete happiness needs to be asked to replace him. The so-called person with complete happiness means that all relatives are alive and the family is harmonious and friendly.
The coffin must not be opened after noon, as the Yang energy is at its peak at noon, which can easily burn the souls of the ancestors. When the coffin is dug to the bottom, someone will tie a rope around the coffin and shout, "It's time to open the coffin!"
The next moment, several people came with a reed mat to cover the top of the wooden coffin, and Kou Xuanling was among them. Covering the top of the wooden coffin with a mat was also to prevent the ancestor's soul from being hurt by the sun when the coffin was opened, and the person carrying the mat must be a descendant.
The wooden coffin was pulled up, and then the bones were opened. The coffin opener shouted, "Open the coffin! Anyone whose zodiac sign or horoscope conflicts with the ancestor must turn their backs to avoid collision." Then the zodiac signs that conflict with the ancestor were chanted, and those people all turned their backs. This practice was not actually to prevent the ancestor from being colliding, but to prevent the corpse in the coffin from colliding with the living.
"Open the coffin!"
The coffin lid was opened, revealing a complete body. Kou's father and others personally went forward to pick up the bones and sealed them in an urn in order, and especially told the children who were watching: "You will pick up the bones of other ancestors later, remember not to mess up or put them in the wrong place, and the bones cannot be incomplete. You must be careful."
Next, we moved other ancestral tombs one after another, lifted and opened the coffins, and everything went smoothly. Before noon, we stopped opening the coffins and covered them with black cloth, and opened them again after noon. After a busy morning, everyone was very tired, so we asked two people to look after the ancestral tombs on the mountain, and the rest of us went down the mountain to rest.
On the way, Chen Yang asked Kou Xuanling: "Where is Tiewei Mountain?"
Kou Xuanling pointed to the back of Bijia Mountain halfway up the mountain and said, "On the back of the mountain, the terrain there is quite strange. There is also a big mountain behind Tiewei Mountain. The two mountains overlook Tiewei Mountain, so that even the sun and moon cannot shine into Tiewei Mountain, and it is always gloomy. I don't know who the owner of the ancient tomb of Tiewei Mountain offended, so he was buried in Tiewei Mountain. There is no wind and no water, and even the most basic way of hiding wind and gathering energy cannot be achieved."
Chen Yang: "Who is buried in the ancient tomb? Doesn't anyone know?"
"I really don't know. I said before that there was no record of the ancestors of the Kou family. When we settled here, the ancient tomb of Tiewei Mountain already existed. I wanted to report it to the country to see if it has cultural research value, but..." Kou Xuanling said carefully: "In short, when you see Tiewei Mountain, you will know that people cannot enter. Our ancestors of the Kou family once broke into it, and when they came out, they warned us that we only need to guard it and not go in. Even the Heavenly Master can't do anything about it, how can ordinary people be allowed to enter?"
“It’s really weird everywhere.”
The sun was so hot at noon that all you could see was a halo. Looking up for too long would make you blind. The two people who were looking after their ancestors' graves rested in the pergola, drinking herbal tea and chatting, but they kept their eyes on the wooden coffins they had dug up to prevent the wind from blowing away the black cloth covering the coffins. Suddenly, an evil wind blew, and sand and rocks flew everywhere.
The two were almost unable to open their eyes due to the wind and sand, so they quickly ran to the grave of their ancestors and pressed down the black cloth. After a while, the wind and sand stopped, and the two checked and found that there was no problem. Even the platform for the altar was not blown down, and the flags were blown down but not broken. After the two lit incense again and worshiped, they straightened the flags.
They didn't notice that when the sandstorm started, a black snake emerged from the withered grass, rolled up the red sign stuck in front of the tombstone and moved away, and then stuck the red sign in front of another remote and inconspicuous tombstone. The tombstone was surrounded by withered grass and trees, and the soil behind it was moist and loose, like a new grave.
The two looked at each other and both felt something was wrong. "The wind and sand are blowing very strangely."
"Yes, there was a sandstorm out of nowhere. It's been so hot, there shouldn't be such a strong sandstorm." The two checked all the graves again and found that the red sign in front of one tombstone indicating that the grave would be moved was missing. They thought it was blown away by the sandstorm, so they reinserted the red sign before returning to the shed to rest.
In the afternoon, the Kou family came back to move the graves and dug the graves according to the red signs. When they dug a remote and inconspicuous grave, some people felt strange, but they didn't have time to think about it. As they dug deeper and deeper, they found that the grave was muddy. When they pulled the coffin out, they were so scared that the person pulling the rope loosened his hand and the coffin quickly slid down. Seeing this, Chen Yang immediately pulled the rope to prevent the coffin from falling back to the bottom of the pit.
Kou Xuanling and Lu Xiuzhi also stepped forward to help, and shouted: "Don't be in a daze! Pull up the coffin."
The coffin was pulled up and laid flat on the ground. It was an exquisite bronze coffin. This coffin definitely did not belong to the ancestor of the Kou family. The elders of the Kou family gathered around to look at it, their expressions extremely stern and solemn. A coffin that did not belong to the ancestors of the Kou family appeared within the Kou family's ancestral tomb. The situation that they had just discovered forced them to treat it with caution.
Chen Yang came closer and saw four ancient characters written on the bronze coffin. Kou Xuanling came over to take a look and said, "Open the coffin and you will die."
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows: "Do you know these ancient characters?"
Kou Xuanling: "I don't know. There are exactly four words, and they are written on the coffin. I know what it means."
Chen Yang pushed Kou Xuanling away, saying he didn't want to see him. Lu Xiuzhi said, "It is indeed the four characters 'open the coffin and you will die', which is the Jin system of the Warring States period." The Warring States characters are a general term for different regions during the Warring States period, among which the Jin system of characters is the main writing system used by small countries such as Wei and Zhao.
As Kou Xuanling said, in fact, most of the four words written on the coffins are curses to the death of the person who opens the coffin. Basically, the curse has no effect, unless there is something hidden in the coffin, and when people open the coffin, those things come out and kill people.
Chen Yang: "Open the coffin?"
The Kou family was hesitant. They had no idea how such a strange grave could appear in the Kou family's ancestral tomb, with a red sign stuck in front of it.
Chen Yang looked at the excavated soil and overturned tombstone: "This grave seems to be a new grave, but the tombstone is not new. The bronze coffin was transported from somewhere else and buried here." He turned around and said to Kou's father: "Open the coffin, it's obvious that I want you to open the coffin."
Father Kou pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Open the coffin."
