Holy Bone

Chapter 347 Stone Pointing Technique, Pointing Stone Tree

"Little brother, it seems that we have found the big baby this time."

"The term Xuangong in Taoism is not simple. It not only means a Taoist temple, but also means a palace where immortals live."

The old Taoist became more and more excited as he talked.

According to the old Taoist, this mysterious palace must be the main hall of the underground palace, where the owner of the tomb is buried.

Unexpectedly, they found the main tomb so easily, and got a glimpse of the true face of the owner of the tomb.

Perhaps it was because of the relationship between fellow Taoists, the old Taoist was very excited when he saw Xuangong, but Jin An was much calmer.

He knelt down to check the footprints on the ground, frowned and said: "There are many footprints on the ground that have not come out after entering the Xuan Palace. They should be left by Xu Daoyou, King Xiaoling, and Monk Qianshi. The footprints can only enter but not exit. Be careful on the road ahead, it is possible that these people are still in the mysterious palace, unless there are other exits from the mysterious palace."

Next.

The three of them entered the majestic and huge temple one by one like a long snake team, Jin'an was in front, the Sword Cutting Hall was behind, and the old Taoist priest was in the middle.

Carefully and vigilantly entered the Xuan Palace one by one, the torch in his hand was crackling and burning, reflecting the surrounding stone walls. In fact, Jin An, who was dressed in jewels and jewels, walked ahead, and he was the best light source.

The door of Xuangong Minglou has been pushed open, I don’t know if it was pushed open at the beginning, or it was pushed open by King Xiaoling and others. After passing through the hole in the city wall of Minglou, there is the main building of Xuangong. It is made of stone strips, each of which is half a person's height. Most of the main buildings in the Xuan Palace are still well preserved and were not seriously damaged in the earthquake.

This mysterious palace was built very grandly and tall, so the environment inside became more and more dark. Except for the stone buildings that can be seen everywhere, there is no trace of gold, silver, bronze or iron.The Xuan Palace, which is obviously the main tomb, is even less magnificent than the last floor of the mortuary tower.

Not only is there no imaginative style of gold, stone and jade fence here, but after the lights in those lamp sockets are extinguished, only the gloomy and gloomy remains.

He even wanted to look up at the top of his head, but because of the tall Xuan Palace, the top of his head was completely covered in dark shadows, and he couldn't see anything.

It's all about weirdness.

There is an open land in front of you, and there are several five-color earth pagodas lined up on the open land, corresponding to the green, red, yellow, white, and black of the five-color earth.

And there is a sarcophagus in each five-color earthen pagoda.

The three of them counted carefully, and there were ten of these five-color earthen pagodas lined up in a line. Among them, there was a sarcophagus in the first to ninth five-color earthen pagodas, but the tenth five-color earthen pagoda was empty, and there was nothing in it. Did not put.

"Nine is the number of extremes, ten is the number of infinity, ten after nine is the roundness of the sky, and all things are destroyed, which represents ninety-nine return to one and return to the chaotic world where all things originated, that is, to escape into the void. The tenth seat There is nothing in the five-color earth pagoda, so it should be taken from the void, the meaning of chaos, corresponding to death?" The old Taoist studied the five-color earth pagoda and whispered to Jin An who was standing behind him.

He continued: "Old man, I think the surface of these five-color earthen pagodas are all engraved with scriptures. The ten five-color earthen pagodas in front of us should not only correspond to the meaning of death, but also have the purpose of expelling evil spirits (nuó). It is easy to raise evil spirits, mountain spirits and wild monsters, so guardian spirits and door gods are needed to prevent evil spirits from invading the Xuan Palace, so as not to disturb the sleep of the dead."

"Of course, no matter how powerful the five-color earth pagoda was originally, it has been destroyed now. If it hadn't been broken, the sarcophagi in the five-color earth pagoda would not have been overturned and smashed." The old Taoist finally added.

Indeed, as the old Taoist said, the sarcophagi in these five-color earth pagodas have already been destroyed and covered with thick dust.

After passing through the gaps of the five-color earthen pagoda, you will come directly to a huge stone paved road, which is even more grand and magnificent. The main hall is very empty, and in the center stands a huge stone tree covered with yellow symbols, with only a bare tree trunk. And twigs, no leaves.

The petrified tree was really too big, with thick texture, even bigger than the giant tree they had slept in a few days ago. The bark was like the corners of a rock, and it was stone gray.

The three of them were all surprised, holding torches in their hands, trying to look up to see how tall the petrified giant tree was, but the petrified giant tree continued to grow into the dark place above their heads, with no end in sight.

call out!
Jin An drew out a stone arrow, tied it to a torch, and shot an arrow into the sky, finally seeing for the first time what was going on at the top of the Xuan Palace.

"what?"

The old Taoist exclaimed in surprise. On the top of the mysterious palace was a huge mural. It was painted as a big ugly monster with hands and feet, green face and long fangs. Staring at everyone who stepped into the Xuan Palace.

Under the light of the torch, Jin An saw a big hole in the roof of the Xuan Palace. The trunk of the petrified giant tree passed through the hole in the roof, growing upwards, and finally pierced into the rock formation. A large number of ancient vines and beards like stone pillars hang down from the heights.

Seeing that the petrified giant tree could not see the end, the three of them looked back at the trunk in front of them again. When they carefully walked around behind the petrified giant tree, they suddenly saw a white shadow standing motionless behind the tree. They were caught off guard. They all slammed under their feet.

When I looked carefully, I found that the white figure was a lifelike stone figurine. The stone figurine was in a strange posture, with his palm resting on the petrified tree, and his face still had the excitement and joy of his life, as if in What peerless treasure was found in the mysterious palace.

It's grotesque to say that the skin of this stone figurine is exactly the same as the dead people who covered the riverbed outside.

The only difference between the two is that the clothes of the dead man in the riverbed are old-fashioned, and they are not from Kangding at first glance, while the stone figurine in front of them is wearing the robe of a Fengshui master from Tianshi Mansion.

"People from Tianshi Mansion?" Jin An was startled.

It turned out that the stone figurine man in front of him was not carved out of stone, it was clearly a living person who was petrified into a dead person after touching the petrified tree.

This discovery directly made Jin An frown.

"Hey, this man is wearing the gown of a feng shui master from the Heavenly Master Mansion. This is the third dead man we saw in the underground palace..." The old Taoist also carefully moved his head to see the stone figurine man.

Jin An held a torch in his hand to shine on the petrified tree, and then on the stone figurine man on the ground who was full of fear before he died. After several comparisons, he said solemnly: "Old man, cut the sword, do you think this The color of the petrified tree is very similar to the skin color of the stone figurines in front of us, and the skin color of the stone figurines in the river bed outside?"

Uh!
The old Taoist is not a dull person, he seemed to think of something immediately, so scared that he stepped back quickly, away from the stone figurines and petrified giant trees on the ground: "My mother, it turns out that we really stepped on dead people along the way. The corpse came over!"

"There are, there are so many stone figurines in the valley... How many people should die?"

Jin'an didn't answer the old Taoist's words, he took a few steps closer to the petrified tree, and this time he found even more shockingly that there were a lot of Yin Polygonum multiflorum growing on the bark of the petrified tree, and these Yin Polygonum multiflorum were bigger than they were on the white marble stone bridge. The genital Polygonum multiflorum seen on the Internet is even bigger, which shows that the corpse poison is also more toxic, but now they are all dusty petrified Polygonum multiflorum.

I didn't notice it when I stood far away before, but I didn't realize that the stone bumps I saw before were all petrified Polygonum multiflorum.

Seeing that Jin An was so close to the petrified tree, the old Taoist was so frightened that his heart jumped into his throat, he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Little brother, be careful, don't get too close, this giant tree that looks like a stone is dangerous!" Question, didn’t you see that the person who touched him turned into a stone man! This stone tree can petrify all things, it’s a bit like Taoist stone touch!”

The old Taoist stared unblinkingly at Jin'an who was very close to the petrified tree, fearing that the other party would accidentally fall or trip over the floor tiles without noticing his feet, and throw himself on the petrified tree and be turned into a stone tire. From now on, every July [-]th, he, Chijian, and his younger siblings can only come to this underground palace to burn paper money to sacrifice to Jin'an.

The old Taoist persuaded again and again, and finally persuaded Jin'an to come back, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and expressed some conjectures: "Little brother, old Taoist, I probably understand why this mysterious palace only has stones, and there is no such thing as a stone bridge or a stop." The towers in the corpse room are resplendent and inlaid with gold, silver and jade..."

"The five elements inter-generate and restrain each other, gold restrains wood, wood restrains earth, this sacred tree in front of me can be like Taoist stone touch, it is wood in the five elements, it acts as a magic needle for calming the sea, calming the eyes of the formation, it can stabilize the underground palace and the thick earth, and ward off evil spirits Exorcising Nuo. That's why we didn't see gold, silver, bronze and iron objects in the Xuan Palace, except for stones or stones, because the people who built the underground palace didn't want the golden energy to hurt the roots of the stone tree."

They walked around some stone trees and saw that they didn't find any clues, so the three of them decided to go to other places in Xuangong to see if there were any other clues.

"Mother, that mural above my head looks really creepy. I don't know why I painted such a creepy mural of monsters in the mysterious palace where the immortals live." Along the way, while searching the mysterious palace, the old Taoist He muttered in a low voice, and looked up from time to time to see the horrifying blue-green mural above his head, under the dim light of the torch, with distorted facial features.

In fact, the old Taoist originally wanted to say, isn't it the immortals of the Taoist blessed land that are enshrined here, but some demons and ghosts that eat people?But he was also worried that if he slandered the underground palace so much, he would be heard by something in the underground palace and angered the underground palace, so he forcibly held back his words.

Later, they found a left hall in the corner of the main hall, but there was nothing in the left hall except a dry spring.

According to the guess of the old Taoist priest, the springs in the yin house are usually used to vent the yin energy and gather the yang energy to bring vitality to the cemetery. Bad omen.

Although the water belongs to Heisha and Xuanshui is Yin Qi, but the cathode is Yang, and the flowing water can bring vitality, and in places where Yin Qi is cold, it can bring a ray of life, that is, Yang Qi.

After walking out of the side hall, the three of them continued to grope in the dark mysterious palace, looking for other clues. They did find another passage, but before they walked far, they found that this passage collapsed and became a dead end.

Jin An stepped forward to look at Duantou Road, then shook his head at the old Taoist priest and Jian Jian: "No, these earth and rocks are buried very deep at first glance, completely blocking the passage, and they can't be blown up even if they want to. cause a bigger landslide."

At this time, the old Taoist held up the compass and said: "Old Taoist, if I read correctly, this passage is opened on the central axis of the Xuan Palace, and it should be the back hall."

"Generally speaking, the apse of this mausoleum is an important place for storing shrines, ancestors' spiritual seats, and coffins. This mysterious palace is a place where immortals live. There is no coffin for burial in the main hall. Maybe the underground palace we are looking for The owner of the tomb was buried in the apse...It's a pity that the apse collapsed and was buried, and future generations will never be able to see the true face of the owner of the mysterious palace."

The old Taoist said with a sigh.

Looking at the old Taoist's expression of pity, Jin An said rather speechlessly: "As an old Taoist, according to the degree of destruction of this underground palace, we only saw empty coffins along the way, and we didn't see a single corpse. There are really people buried in the apse, and it is estimated that the corpse of the immortal is long gone, otherwise, why do you think the apse collapsed?"

The curious old Taoist couldn't help asking Jin An: "Little brother, don't you wonder who the owner of this underground palace is?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the old Taoist finished speaking, there was an explosion in the underground palace, and then the mountain shook violently, and a lot of dust fell from their heads.

Jin An shouted nervously: "No, run, this place is about to landslide again."

The earth shaking and mountain shaking lasted for a while before it stopped. The three people who had already run back to the main hall from the passage were all a little disheveled at this moment. Jin An coughed and patted the dust on his hair, and couldn't hold back his complaints to the old Taoist priest. : "Old man, with your No.13 zodiac sign of a crow's mouth, don't say anything unlucky in the underground palace! You see that you have made the old man in the underground palace angry, so you are not afraid that people who have died for thousands of years will really pull you Go into the coffin and talk about the old days!"

The old Taoist felt very wronged. He was just curious about who was buried by the owner of the underground palace. Curiosity is curiosity, and respect for the dead is respect for the dead. With an aggrieved face, he opened his mouth to defend, and suddenly, Jin An yelled coldly in the main hall: "Who is sneaking there!"

"Shave the sword, stay and protect the old man!"

sulfuric acid!Kunwu knife was out of its sheath, and the air buzzed and vibrated. After Jin An yelled to cut the sword, he had already strode towards the petrified tree in the center of the main hall.

Through the gaps between the hanging vines and roots, one can vaguely see a dark figure squatting behind the petrified tree, watching the three of them.

however.

When Jin An rushed behind the petrified tree, there was no movement. There was no sound of fighting or talking. Ever since he entered the underground palace, the cemetery was full of weirdness, and strange things happened one after another, especially when Xuangong fell into silence. , the sense of oppression from the unknown darkness was even more breathless. The old Taoist waited left and right but could not wait for news from Jin'an. He whispered worriedly behind the petrified tree: "Little brother, you How's the situation over there?"

Jin An's voice came from behind the petrified tree: "Old Daoist, Chi Jian, come quickly and see what I found! You would never have imagined that the shock just now, what fell from the petrified tree!"

Jin An's tone was a bit strange, not only surprised, as if he had seen some shocking scene, but also a dignified and vaguely uneasy tone.

Hearing Jin An's shout, the old Taoist and Chi Jian, who had long been concerned about Jin'an's safety, hurried over.

Ding Ding Deng!
At this moment, only the sound of many people's messy footsteps could be heard in the secluded Xuan Palace of the three of Jin'an, and they saw disgraced people fleeing for their lives from the other right hall of the Xuan Palace. Hearing Jin An's shout, they all ran towards the petrified tree.

There are quite a few old faces among these people, and they are Xiaoling Wang, Xu Anping, and Monk Qianshi who entered the underground palace first...

Everyone gathered in Xuan Palace.
