Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 29 Chen

"what?"

The master stood up from the stool, and said in disbelief, "Fengshui overall situation? You mean someone gathers the yin energy from the whole Chengdu to nourish that red coffin?"

"Then did you open it? You wouldn't open that red coffin, would you?" Master asked questions one after another before the Taoist could answer. He also realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment.

The Taoist priest may have turned red because of excitement, and he said: "The Feng Shui Bureau does not know who arranged it, it is extremely mysterious and hidden. You will find that there is a Feng Shui bureau. The red coffins were found by some migrant workers in the river. When we rushed there, they were all dead and turned into several mummified corpses. There were two tooth marks on their necks. The blood in the whole body was completely sucked dry. And the red coffin was also opened, and the contents inside had long since disappeared.”

I heard it a little scary from the side. Those years were the time when Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie" series became popular. I watched that film in the videotape of Ermao's next door. When I heard the description of this Taoist priest, my mind naturally The word "zombie" burst out.

The master's face was full of solemnity, and he said, "How old is that coffin? Have you found anything in it?"

The priest exhaled, and said, "People from the government found a line of small characters under the coffin, engraved with 'the 28th year of Kangxi', and besides that, there was a word for 'Chen'."

"Chen Zi?" Master fell into deep thought, but turned his head to look at me, wondering what he was thinking.

And I couldn't help being stunned when I heard the Taoist's words. The Snake King Temple in the village was built in "the 28th year of Kangxi", and this time is also engraved on the red coffin. Is there any connection between the two?

I rubbed my eyes, and the image of a man involuntarily popped up in my mind, the man who smiled back at me at the gate of the ancient castle on the back mountain of Tsingyi Village, that smile that contained countless contents.

Could it be related to him?
The master let out a long breath, and said, "If it is counted from the 28th year of Kangxi, it will only be 300 years now, even if you really become a zombie, your senior brothers should be able to subdue it."

The Taoist shook his head, and said with a bitter face: "The origin of this thing is not simple. It has absorbed the Yin Qi of the whole Chengdu for more than 300 years, and has already produced spiritual wisdom, which is far beyond that of ordinary zombies. My brothers and sisters I only fought against it once, and at that time there were special government departments to help out. My three senior brothers joined forces and finally failed to suppress it. Instead, it was defeated by it and fled in a hurry. The news was suppressed by the higher authorities, and they dared not let the public know about it. Later, someone saw it coming towards Dujiangyan, and with its speed, it might arrive here soon.”

"The zombie is coming to Dujiangyan?" The master was taken aback. He was still very calm when he heard that the three brothers of the Taoist priest were defeated by the zombie.

I saw Master rubbing his chin, and said in a low voice: "Since someone set up a feng shui gathering yin bureau to raise this corpse more than 300 years ago, then there is an explanation for the strange things that have happened in Chengdu recently. When the Yin Qi in the Funan River gathers in a At this point, it will catalyze some surrounding corpses that meet special conditions into zombies, too strong yin energy will also cause people to hallucinate and commit suicide by diving, and then they will turn into water ghosts and the like, so that’s how it is.”

"It's just that old man Li said that the root of all this lies in Dujiangyan, and the zombie came to Dujiangyan as soon as it came out. What is the reason for this? Who was the person who set up the Fengshui Bureau in Chengdu back then, and for what purpose? Under Dujiangyan What does the god of Jiang have to do with the plot laid out in Chengdu 300 years ago?" The more the master said, the more confused the expression on his face became.

"Brother Dao, what's the matter with you? What Jiangshen?" The middle-aged Taoist looked at his master and asked in a low voice.

The master straightened the wrinkled clothes, and asked the Taoist priest, "Fellow Daoist Qingmu, have you experienced anything unusual in the front mountain recently?"

The Qingmu Taoist looked at the master inexplicably, and said: "It's nothing, just study the Tao as usual, and the problem of Chengdu recently."

Master nodded and said, "The zombies are coming to Dujiangyan, what do you mean?"

Taoist Qingmu saw that the master was getting to the point at this moment, and quickly said: "The three of my brothers in Chengdu have all been injured, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it for a while, and the government's intention is to let our monks in Qingcheng Mountain cooperate with the Dujiangyan government to hunt That zombie. But you also know about our Qingcheng Daoist faction. Now that Taoism is at the end of the world, there are only a few who can really be powerful. In addition, Brother Qingyun and the others went to Chengdu. This time, Brother Jiang Daoist might be needed Go up."

The master nodded, and said to Taoist Qingmu: "It is our duty as cultivators to eliminate demons and subdue demons. If there is any need for my old Taoist help, brother Taoist just speak up."

Taoist Qingmu cupped his hands towards his master, and said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Jiang Dao, that poor Taoist will go back first, and anyone who has any clues about that zombie will come and inform Brother Zhi."

The master nodded, and personally sent the Taoist Qingmu out.

After a long time, Master returned to the main hall, and I hurriedly asked, "Master, who was that Taoist just now?"

The master bent down and straightened my collar, and sighed, "That's Taoist Qingmu from the Qianshan Qingcheng Taoist sect. Alas, in the last days of Taoism, there are fewer and fewer people practicing Taoism, and talents from all walks of life are withering. The Chengdao faction is no longer as good as it used to be, otherwise, let alone a 300-year-old zombie, they would have been able to subdue it even if it was a zombie king before."

"Master, do you think the zombies that appeared in Chengdu are related to the ghosts that recently appeared on Qingcheng Mountain? There were not so many things happening on the border between Chengdu and Dujiangyan before. How come all the ghosts and ghosts came out overnight? " Mu Yueting, who had been standing by the side and watched silently, said without saying a word. It was also the first time I heard her say so many words, so I couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

The master was startled when he heard her words, and then said: "It shouldn't be related, the female ghost in white clothes may be related to the river god in the legend of Dujiangyan, and the zombie was raised more than 300 years ago by using Fengshui Bureau Yes, the years and times don’t match up.”

Master said to himself with some doubts: "It's just why it came to Dujiangyan? Could it be that there is something attracting it here? All the secrets are in Dujiangyan, and the word 'Chen' engraved on the coffin, Who is it anyway?"

When I saw Master mentioned the word "Chen" and looked back at me, he seemed to have thought of something.

But is all of this really related to the man from 300 years ago?
After a while, the master took me out of the main hall, and he led me around the Taoist temple, introducing me to some places in the Taoist temple.This Taoist temple is actually not big, perhaps because the people in this line have never been prosperous. Before I came, there were only Master and Mu Yueting, so many places were neglected and looked a bit desolate.

The places that Master took me to see were actually just a few side halls with Taoist names. Except for the different names, they were basically the same, so there was nothing to see.

It was only when Master took me to a hall called "Feng Ling Dian" that I regained some energy, because I remembered that after Master sealed the female ghost in white with a clay pot last night, Mu Yueting The place where it is placed is called the Hall of Fengling.

"Master, where is this Fengling Hall? Is that where the white-clothed female ghost was placed last night?" I asked, pointing to the two tightly closed wooden doors next to me.

I saw extremely weird symbols and characters painted on the two closed wooden doors, like ghostly drawn symbols, I couldn’t even read them, and some talismans were pasted on the closed windows next to them. The yellow paper talismans that are usually used are different. They are all silvery white, with mysterious runes painted on them with cinnabar. The cinnabar is blood red, and it looks like a ball of flowing blood from a distance.
