Chapter 42
Gu Zhisang frowned slightly, “What level is that murderous thing?”
Generally speaking, the tomb has been buried underground for thousands of years, and there are two kinds of ominous creatures that are most likely to come out of it: ghosts bound in the tomb and zombies.
Especially the latter.
The underground is a dark and damp place, which is the easiest place to hide dirt and rot, not to mention the tomb, which is a place where yin and evil gather;
If it is a tomb with special geomantic omen in the location, the corpse in the tomb will usually mutate due to the evil spirit after one or two hundred years, but this is the lowest level of purple stiffness.
Many people think that zombies are a kind of mysterious things that are difficult to see, but in fact, the conditions for the formation of low-level zombies are not harsh, and they cannot move, harm people, and are no different from ordinary corpses.
At best, the body is not easy to rot, and when digging up the grave and touching it directly, it will be contaminated with some evil spirits.
It is rare to see advanced zombies at a later stage. The higher the level, the more difficult the formation conditions and the greater the threat.
Zheng Ruyu said with a serious expression: “It’s a hairy zombie, but when our people tried to subdue it, we found that it moved faster and more flexibly than ordinary hairy zombies. If it can’t be hurt, I’m afraid it has already half-stepped into the next evolutionary stage!”
The so-called ‘Mao Zombie’ is the fourth level of zombies.
Black and white zombies are followed by purple zombies, which have the ability to act but are very slow. They are afraid of fire, livestock and sound, and have almost no threat.
Later on, green zombies will grow green corpse hair all over their bodies, move fast, and are not afraid of fire and livestock except for the sun, but like to **** blood.
Decades ago when the Xia Kingdom was first established, there was a green zombie in a certain village, which killed the chickens, cats and dogs in the village and sucked blood, causing panic among the surrounding people.
At that time, the officials asked people from the Taoist sect to take action to solve the problem. Until now, there are still legends in that area.
After the green zombie is the hairy zombie, the hair outside the body is invulnerable, although ordinary fire and light can’t hurt it, but the “blazing fire talisman” used by the people of the spirit group in the tomb is not extraordinary, it contains Taoist real fire, ordinary evil After contamination, it will be burned to ashes.
Even the Taoist real fire can hardly hurt that monster, which shows that it is already evolving towards ‘flying rigidity’.
Flying Zombies often need thousands of years of cultivation, and the evil nature is a great ominous, once it is born, it will inevitably stir up a disaster.
No wonder the members of the spirit group in the tomb were so nervous that they had to seal the tomb and notify their superiors.
Gu Zhisang was a little surprised. If she remembered correctly, the emperor’s tomb was only more than 600 years ago, which was far from being able to raise a flying zombie, so she asked more.
“The emperor is ruthless. After the imperial mausoleum was built, in order to prevent those skilled craftsmen from leaking the organs and funeral objects inside, the emperor asked them to stay underground forever.” Zheng Ruyu said with a helpless face:
“However, the emperor studied the art of longevity, and he didn’t want to enter the underworld for reincarnation. He didn’t succeed until he was old, so with the advice and help of the Feng Shui master, he built the ‘Ming Grave Life’ above the tomb. Sacrifice’ technique.
At the same time, in order to increase the evil spirit in the tomb and better nourish himself, he did not kill the craftsmen directly, but asked the soldiers to drive them to the remote ear room of the tomb, took away all the tools, and left no supplies behind. Then let people completely seal the ear chamber…”
In this way, the craftsmen in the ear room will wait to die in despair.
For the first two days they were still yelling, begging for mercy, cursing, trying to dig out the ear chambers with their fingers, but it was no use scratching their fingernails.
After the third day, they did not eat or drink, and they lost too much energy and were on the verge of death.
The extreme hunger and sense of coercion of death made them start killing each other and cannibalizing each other.
When the last person was dying, the entire ear chamber was filled with rotting corpses and bones filled with maggots, and fetid excrement was everywhere.
He lived in this dark underground for an unknown amount of time, eating people and drinking blood, and finally died with overwhelming resentment.
It was precisely because Mao Zong had eaten people before he was alive, and he was buried in Fengshui with resentment, that it took shape so quickly.
Hearing such a method, Gu Zhisang’s dislike for the tomb owner was instantly raised to 8 points from 5 points. She frowned and asked:
“According to what you said, the evil aura in the catacombs must be soaring to the sky. The owner of the tomb is located in the hole of Fengshui. Although he also raises corpses, he can also raise corpses. How can there be only one murderous creature?”
Zheng Ruyu said: “This is about the jade phalanx.”
“I don’t know if Ms. Gu knows, but there is a record of a prince in the dynasty at that time in the history books and descendants’ historical records eight hundred years ago. He also benefited the people’s livelihood and helped the victims of disasters many times during his lifetime. He has a good reputation among the people.
History books once praised this king as “elegant and profound, and the best is like water”. “
There are not many records of this person in history.
According to research, the prince was weak and sick from birth, but because he was the second son of a noble family and had a good fate, he was very popular with the emperor at that time.
When he was young, he was sent to a very famous Taoist temple for cultivation in order to recuperate, and he lived in the temple for nearly ten years.
Later, he suffered from leg problems due to illness, and spent his whole life on the verge of power struggles. In the end, his own brother ascended the throne, and his treatment was even better.
It stands to reason that such a member of the royal family has no value in textual research, and rarely appears in books. The reason why Zheng Ruyu and many people in the Lingzu know about this person is because this person is recorded in Taoist classics.
The Taoist temple where the sick and weak prince went out of the palace to recuperate was the Taoist temple of Taoist Junhong, the founder of Taoism.
The more Gu Zhisang heard it, the more familiar it became, and his expression gradually became a little strange, “So this finger bone?”
Zheng Ruyu: “From the book of golden strands buried with him, we know that this jade finger bone is his bone.”
Gu Zhisang: …
From Zheng Ruyu’s mouth, she learned the source of the jade finger bone.
According to the records of the feng shui master who built the tomb, when this idle king was living in the Taoist temple of Master Jun Hong, he had attracted thunder from the sky;
His legs became sick because of the lightning strike, and he was unable to walk. A hundred years after his death, the dynasty collapsed, and the tomb was destroyed by tomb robbers during the war.
In the inner and outer coffins of the tomb owner’s room, the thieves found that the bones in the coffin were rotten, and only one finger was almost intact. The tomb robbers destroyed the corpse and cut off the finger. After peeling off the flesh, they got this transparent finger bone.
Because of the special status of the owner of the tomb, he had lived beside Taoist Junhong for a long time, and had a strange experience. At that time, it was spread among the people and the royal family that this phalanx had been tempered by heavenly thunder, and after being ground into a pill, he could live forever after being swallowed. contention.
In the end, the emperor at that time—that is, the tomb owner of the emperor’s tomb—paid a lot of money to get this phalanx from the wandering alchemist.
This emperor wanted too much to live forever, so he took many ‘elixirs’ for this purpose, but all ended in failure;
At that time, he was already a little dazed, so he asked the Feng Shui master to grind his finger bones to make alchemy.
But the feng shui master said that this bone is a good Taoist magic weapon, which can dispel evil spirits and eliminate dampness, and it is so hard that it cannot be used for alchemy.
Finally, after the emperor died, the feng shui master put the jade phalanx on the chest of his corpse to purify the hedging evil spirits. It was not excavated by the archaeological team until a few days ago.
Zheng Ruyu said: “What is certain is that this jade phalanx is indeed a very precious magic weapon, and it can restrain the body of the tomb owner and prevent it from being turned into a murderous thing.”
“After the archaeologists opened the coffin, they found that the body of the owner of the tomb was not treated too much, but it was very well preserved, and the flesh was even a little elastic. We have to believe that the finger bone played a role.”
“But now, whether it’s the jade finger bones or the hair stiffness, they have all been stolen!”
Gu Zhisang said seriously, “Do you know who did it?”
Zheng Ruyu said: “I didn’t know at the beginning that the jade phalanx was kept by a special person. That night, the professor in the tomb was still studying the small characters on it to decipher the contents behind the book of golden strands. Professor.”
When speaking, a look of anger appeared on the woman’s face:
“The old professor is over seventy years old. He is a leader in the archaeological world with profound knowledge. The thief just fought for things, but he hit the professor’s abdomen with internal force, causing his internal organs to bleed profusely on the spot!”
Although it was rescued, it was still an unwarranted disaster for the elderly.
Being able to have internal strength shows that this person is not an ordinary person, but a scholar from outside the Fang Dynasty.
That night, the old professor was seriously injured because the precious funeral objects were taken away. The people around the tomb were shocked and angry. They never expected that there would be another incident just a few hours later.
Zheng Ruyu continued: “Our team members who were guarding around the tomb were attacked in the early hours of the morning and were seriously injured. The thief opened the seal and released Mao Zong. If it weren’t for other companions nearby who heard the movement, they rushed over in time. Come on, this team member will suffer.”
“When he was rescued by his companions, there were a row of tooth marks on his neck with corpse poison! That thief deliberately let Mao Zong **** blood!”
Gu Zhisang’s eyes turned cold, “He probably wants to get stiff.”
“That’s right, we thought so too.” Zheng Ruyu said, “Then at noon today, the abbot of Huicheng Temple suddenly issued a warrant for Fang Wai. Injured the monks in the temple and took away the relic of Master Fangji of Huicheng Temple!”
“You should know about the thief, Miss Gu, who is wanted by Huicheng Temple.”
Gu Zhisang:?
“who is it?”
Zheng Ruyu said: “Miss Gu still remembers that a month ago, when you participated in the variety show “Spiritual Affairs” for the first time, you helped the eldest grandson of the Gao family in Yuncheng break the two evil formations in the old house.”
Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly: “Gao Zhi? I remember.”
She is still in contact with Gao Zhi, and most of them are messages sent by the other party to greet her.
She heard that the Yuegao group was fighting fiercely this year, and after Gao Zhi’s little uncle’s actions were exposed, many old people in the group could not accept it.
Coupled with the turbulent situation within the big group, many people have long had grievances with Uncle Gao Zhi. Taking this opportunity, they helped Gao Zhi get back the shares left to him by Mr. Gao, allowing Gao Zhi to successfully enter the Gao Shi Group.
Thinking of something, Gu Zhisang frowned and said: “The one who steals and hurts people is not the Feng Shui master who set up the formation of the Gao family, right?”
Zheng Ruyu nodded and said, “That’s him!”
“This person is a Feng Shui master who came to the mainland from Hong Kong Province ten years ago. He was very famous in Hong Kong Province back then. He has seen Feng Shui and practiced formations for many high-ranking officials.
I have also heard about him, but because of the special region he belongs to, the illusion he showed when he was in the mainland was quite regular. I didn’t expect that he not only set up evil formations, but also stole jade finger bones, and snatched away the things of Huicheng Temple after he kidnapped Mao Zong. The person turned out to be him! It’s just too arrogant! “
“And after our investigation, we found out that this person is actually a descendant of the Feng Shui master who built the imperial mausoleum for the owner of the tomb. No wonder he knows what burial objects are in the tomb, and he can avoid the traps in the tomb.”
With stiff hair, jade finger bones, and Buddhist relics, Gu Zhisang had some ideas in his thoughts.
This feng shui master should be trying to refine something vicious and evil!
Zheng Ruyu looked tired, and said with a wry smile: “The relic he took away is a treasure of Huicheng Temple. More than a hundred years ago, there was an eminent monk named Fangji in Huicheng Temple. At that time, he almost became a golden body. Later After his death, he left behind three relics of his life, namely bones, hair, and flesh.”
The bone relic is the coagulation of the bones of the Buddha’s body, which is white; the hair relic is black; and the meat relic is the coagulation of the flesh and blood of the Buddha’s body, which is red.
Every relic is extremely precious, and it can ward off disasters, offset mistakes, and so on.
And what the feng shui master took away was the meat relic that condensed the power of the living Buddha’s ancient method!
Zheng Ruyu said: “Originally this tomb was excavated by the state, and the funerary objects and murderous objects excavated from the tomb should be handled by the state, but now the jade finger bones and hair bones have been taken away, and the masters of Huicheng Temple have also asked all foreigners With the arrest warrant issued, this matter is no longer under the sole control of the Lingzu, and everyone in the Xuanmen can intervene.”
The reason why she came to Gu Zhisang was because neither the spirit group nor the official wanted the Xuanmen to get these two things.
At this moment, they thought of Gu Zhisang.
After thinking for a while, Gu Zhisang said: “I can go and arrest that person, and you will get the things back, but I want a reward.”
“I want that jade phalanx. If you agree, I will bring you both Mao Zhan and the relic.”
Zheng Ruyu frowned slightly: “This… I need to ask my superiors for instructions.”
Suddenly, her voice paused, and her expression gradually became serious.
It turned out that before she came to talk to Gu Zhisang, she actually turned on the communicator, and the superior on the opposite side could hear her conversation with Gu Zhisang.
When hearing Gu Zhisang’s request, Zheng Ruyu felt that it was impossible for her superior to agree.
Because the research value of that jade finger bone is very high.
But just now, the voice of the superior suddenly sounded from the headset: “Promise her, I just received the news that Mao Zong appeared in Hunan Province in the afternoon, and boys, girls and children disappeared one after another along the way!”
“If she can guarantee the safety of the missing people and prevent Mao Zong from falling into the hands of Xuanmen, she can agree to her request.”
For officials, the safety of the people is the most important thing;
Besides, if people from the Taoist sect were allowed to take the first step, there would be absolutely nothing left.
Zheng Ruyu’s heart trembled, she didn’t expect the thief to move so fast!
Not only has he fled to other provinces, but he has also captured so many ordinary people. I knew that Mao Zang would **** blood!
Zheng Ruyu relayed Gu Zhisang’s words to Gu Zhisang, and Gu Zhisang nodded in agreement.
She knew the urgency of the matter, and said, “I’ll go upstairs to get something and leave right away.”
“Wait.” Zheng Ruyu called her, “Miss Gu, can I ask why you want that finger bone?”
After a moment of silence, Gu Zhisang casually found an excuse: “It looks pleasing to the eye, let’s see if it can help you practice.”
He said systematically in his mind: “…Really, Sangsang, I feel like you are fooling people.”
After a while, Gu Zhisang responded.
“Well, it’s something from an old friend.”
