Looking at the hole with the wooden door, Master Liu, Master Ge and Zhou Tong also froze together.
Zhou Tong walked to a wooden door, pushed it open gently, and said, "Is this place really used to live?"
We followed the wooden door opened by Zhou Tong and looked in. There were some simple wooden furniture, but they were all quite worn out. In the innermost corner of the hole, there was a bed. Ripped and torn bedding.
Master Liu asked Zhou Tong, "Have you seen such a cemetery before?"
Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "Never, even my master, I'm afraid he has never seen a place where living people live in any cemetery, unless this is not a cemetery at all, but an underground fortification for people to live in."
When Zhou Tong said this, Master Liu couldn't help but nodded and said, "It is possible that we were wrong from the very beginning, because it is underground, we think habitually and think it is a cemetery, but it is not, but a building built underground. Taoism."
Master Ge also said with a surprised "tsk", "If it is an underground Taoist temple, then there will be Taoist priests and alchemy rooms in it, which can be explained clearly, but since it is a Taoist temple, why should it be built underground?"
Master Liu said, "Didn't we see a lot of candlesticks in the passage just now? We speculate that these Taoists are studying zombies. If they are studying zombies, there will be many inconveniences if they are located on the ground, such as Bai Zong. , Black Zombie and Jumping Corpse are all afraid of the sun, and they will be washed to death by Yang Qi when they are placed on the ground, how can they study it, so they set up this underground Taoist temple."
Hearing Master Liu's analysis, Master Ge said, "The Taoists who study zombies, what do they study zombies?"
Master Liu said four words: "Immortal!"
I suddenly remembered that Master Liu once said that some Taoist priests who were about to die would train themselves into zombies and continue their so-called life. Could it be that the skeleton Taoists in this "tomb" are the ones who once thought of turning themselves into zombies
Zhou Tong said again: "But if this is the case, why did those Taoists die in that pill room? Also, what happened to the soul-suppressing charms in the first pill room we went to? ?"
Master Liu didn't continue to guess, but shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out either, so let's take a good look at these empty caves and see if we can find any valuable clues."
Master Liu and I were in the same group, and Master Ge and Zhou were in the same group. We started looking around along these empty caves. The furnishings in each cave were similar, with simple daily necessities, and some caves had Air-dried food, which further shows that someone has really lived here.
We searched one by one, and when we found the next room on both sides, Master Liu and I were both stunned, because the door of this room was locked, and a usual yellow sign was pasted on the main door and door frame. Although it looks shabby, the scarlet mark on it is clearly visible.
Even more bizarrely, the lower third of the door was missing, creating a hole that resembled a dog hole.
I asked Master Liu, "Foster father, what kind of talisman is that long talisman?"
Master Liu said, "The Extreme Yang Talisman is the best talisman for restraining zombies. There used to be a powerful guy in this house, and it's probably the flying corpse we saw."
I couldn't help but forgot to look under the entrance of the cave, there was no trace of the dust moving, I couldn't help but ask Master Liu: "There are no traces of movement here, even if there is, I'm afraid I haven't been back here for a long time, right, adoptive father, this is Does the talisman still work?"
Master Liu said, "No, but this polar Yang talisman, from the perspective of calligraphy and painting, should be modern, at least after the Republic of China, I have seen the polar yang talisman from the Qing Dynasty, it is more complicated than this, and longer!"
I hid behind Master Liu, we don't know if there is anything in this room...
At this time, Zhou Tong and Master Ge also came over. They didn't find anything special, so the only thing we found suspicious was the cave in front of us, which was locked and posted with the Ji Yang Talisman.
Zhou Tong asked Master Liu, did he unlock the door or just remove the door
Master Liu said, "Open the lock, it doesn't feel right to remove the door frame!"
Zhou Tong let out a "um", climbed down with the flashlight, took a picture from the hole under the door, made sure there was nothing wrong, then walked over slowly, took out a thin wire hook, and locked the door a few times. ticked off.
After removing the lock, Zhou Tong slowly tore off the Ji Yang Talisman again, and then pushed the door open with a creak. As a result, a piece of dust swept up, causing him to cough a few times.
The light beam of our flashlight shines through the dust, and the cave has a simple outline. This cave is very different from what we saw before. There is a wooden table near the door with a wooden table on it. An oil lamp, not a candlestick built into the wall, as in the other caves.
There are many books around the oil lamp, but these books are not stories, but some Western love novels that were introduced to China during the Republic of China.
On the innermost bed, the quilt was messy, and some hemp ropes were thrown on and off. I took a flashlight and took a picture below. I found a small black box under the bed. I asked Master Liu what it was.
Master Liu glanced at it and immediately said, "Mo Dou!"
When I asked what it was used for, Master Liu said that it was used for marking when doing carpentry work, but when the ink bucket was replaced with specially made cinnabar, it became a treasure used by Taoists to "seal coffins and suppress corpses".
Seal the coffin? I looked into the room carefully and found no coffin, so I could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
We walked to the table and stood for a while, then Master Liu began to turn over the books and waste paper on the table, and soon Master Liu found a neat stack of documents in the waste paper, with red writing on it. The handwriting, those characters look beautiful, better than the ones written by my father who was a teacher, and the format is still written vertically.
I asked Master Liu what was written on it, and Master Liu picked it up and read a short paragraph: "In the 8th year of the Republic of China, my master brought him to this tomb of the living dead, saying that he was here to do a very important thing, and he might die. He let me choose to follow him or leave him. I was abandoned by my parents when I was a child, and it was Master who picked me up from the wheat field and raised me, so I decided to go with Master wherever I could go.”
"The Tomb of the Living Dead?" While reading this passage, Master Ge suddenly interjected, and then asked, "What is the name of the person who wrote this? Does he have a name? And his master brought him here, then his master must be sure of this tomb. In the details, who is his master?"
Master Liu turned back a few pages and said, "No name is mentioned, and no mention of who his master is."
Zhou Tong asked: "Master Liu, please continue reading, what else is written below?"
Master Liu continued to recite: "Master said that it is their destiny to go to the tomb of the living dead, and once every fifty years, it happened to be his turn this time. . . "
The following pieces of paper described the life of him and his master under the tomb. He lived in the house to read books and practice Taoism, while his master went to the Dan room with a thick stack of talismans every day. , until it lasted for half a month.
During this period, his master also took him to those two elixir rooms, but his master did the practice in the elixir room that was not in the skeleton of the dead, but went to the empty elixir room, which made him very puzzled and asked his master. , his master said, there is something in the small elixir furnace.
He asked his master what was in the Xiaodan furnace, and his master said, it is the ancestor of their lineage!
When Master Liu read this, Master Ge, Zhou Tong, and I were all shocked at the same time. The first pill room we went to, the small pill furnace that turned over, was not used for pill refining before, but was used to hold one. The patriarch of the sect
What happened to this fall
Master Liu took a deep breath and continued reading.
According to Master Liu, that "he" later asked his master the reason for this, but his master didn't seem to know either, he just said that his ancestor seemed to have gone into the devil's way because of his practice, so he couldn't enter the reincarnation, so he its seal.
During the time he lived in the cemetery, he also asked his master about their sect, but his master kept silent.
Later, he became more and more interested in this tomb of the living dead, and finally one day, he made a decision to secretly go to the elixir room with a small elixir furnace at night after his master fell asleep. after all.
After reading this, Master Liu stopped reading. I asked Master Liu, "Yifu, why didn't you read it? What did that person find in the pill room?"
Master Liu said, "I don't write it here anymore. That person may not come back when he went to the pill room, so there is no further description."
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This is an unfinished story. It's so itchy. What happened to him and his master here
When I was still thinking about these things, Zhou Tong said: "In the eighth year of the Republic of China, it should be in 1919. If the town is held once in fifty years, the next time should be in 1969. If they have a problem that time, then 1969 Who will come to the town this year? If no one comes to the town, did his master run out? Master Liu, did anything special happen in this place that year?"
Master Liu shook his head, then said: "I don't remember anything special happening, because in those old talismans we found in the first pill room, the talisman paper of some talismans is better than the talisman paper of the polar Yang talisman on this door. The newer ones, that is to say, they were not posted in the same year. The ones in the Xiaodan room should have been posted in 1969, but the seal seemed to have an accident that time, causing the seal to fail. Something ran out."
Having said that, Master Liu paused for a while, and then continued: "That is to say, the seal in 1919 did not fail, but something happened, but why did you stick the polar yang talisman on this door? Could it be that one of him and his master became a zombie?"
Master Liu added: "But if the crackdown in 1969 failed, then there is no reason why nothing special happened in this generation. Could it be that in 1969, that expert did some remedial measures here?"
Everything in this living tomb seems to become more confusing/distracted, and there is a great secret hidden in it!
