Tomb Raiders in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 58 Conversations Across Thousands of Years
Zhang Faqiu couldn't see where he was now, he squeezed his eyelids hard, if it was a ghost covering his eyes, then a layer of wax would appear on the surface of his eyeballs.

But after three or two strokes, the eyeballs were pinched so painfully that tears flowed out.

"It's not a ghost covering your eyes!" Zhang Faqiu had encountered such a situation before, he stood on a mountain top, turned his head to look at each other, Zuo Ci was still arousing the power of thunder, blasting and killing that strange bone.

Zhang Faqiu pondered for a moment, then walked towards Zuo Ci, and began to count in his heart, counting a number every time he took a step.

When he knew he had counted to a thousand, he looked up and saw that he was still where he was.

He must have encountered something dirty, but Zhang Faqiu couldn't figure it out, what kind of dirty thing dared to touch him?

The Zuo Ci I see now is not Zuo Ci, it should be an illusion.

"Could it be a ghost!" Zhang Faqiu suddenly thought of the human skin he saw before, and Zuo Ci said that the thing he took was a ghost.

"If what I see now is fake, then the cliff in front of me is also fake." Zhang Faqiu looked at the cliff in front of him firmly, and suddenly took a step.

"call--"

It is impossible to say that he is not afraid, but Zhang Faqiu stands in the void like this, and he has become the legendary immortal who relies on emptiness to control the wind.

He stepped on the air, as if walking on a layer of transparent glass.

At this time, Zhang Faqiu suddenly had a kind of understanding. He can stand in the void now, perhaps because the place where the game was broken was in the void.

He even now feels that the location of Zhonggong Sheji should be where the jade coffin is on the surface, but in fact, it is hidden.

This technique is similar to that of some special burials.

After the ancient dignitaries died, they worried that their tombs would be dug up by tomb robbers, and a very small number of people would build two layers of tombs on their acupuncture points.

The tomb on the first floor is above the tomb on the second floor. To put it bluntly, it is two superimposed tombs. The upper one is fake, and the lower one is real.

This pattern is called Double Dragon Playing with Pearls. In the fake tomb, some funerary objects are also placed, and the corpses are placed in the coffin to make the illusion that this is the real tomb.

By doing this, you can deceive the sky and cross the sea. If you are not a master in this industry, you can hardly see through this pattern.

Zhang Faqiu felt that the location of the Zhonggong Sheji might be a layout arranged in a similar way. The ancients had accumulated astonishing wisdom by fighting against the heaven and the earth and nature. Qiu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Trying to take the first step, Zhang Faqiu tried not to look at the ground. What he needed to find now was the location of Zhonggong Sheji's eyes.

……

"boom--"

The house was forcibly knocked down, and there was nothing to stop the bones from advancing. Zuo Ci looked at the soldiers who had escaped from the village, and asked in surprise, "Where is Zuo Xiaoqing?"

A sergeant came forward and said with some fear: "Miss Xiaoqing said that she can stay in the village alone, and told me to leave immediately!"

Zuo Ci's complexion became very strange. He wiped the sweat off his face, stood up and said, "You stay here, I'll go to the village to have a look."

"Well, old man, let me go with you!" Li Mojin stood up, and Li Changkun also walked over from Yuanchu.

Zuo Ci smiled miserably: "Why, do you want to die?"

Li Mojin shuddered, waved his hands and said, "Well, old man, I'll go to the side to have a look, Brother Zhang might be scared and dare not come out..."

As soon as he said that, he slipped away.

Li Mojin insisted on following Zuo Ci to have a look.

Zuo Ci said: "You stay here, it's not something ordinary people can get through right now."

After saying this, Zuo Ci stretched out his hand and patted Li Mojin's shoulder. Li Mojin immediately sat on the ground, feeling as if an invisible big hand was pressing on him, and he couldn't even stand up.

When Zuo Ci returned to the village, he saw Hanbing in the courtyard where the jade coffin was placed, changed his position, and through the window, he saw Zuo Xiaoqing who was lying on the jade coffin, and the baby born under the lid of the jade coffin. One by one ice hands!

"Old man, is the thing you look at really the Queen Mother of the West?" Zuo Xiaoqing noticed Zuo Ci and asked with a relaxed expression.

With Zuo Ci's body together, he came into the room lightly. If this scene was seen by others, he really didn't know how terrified he would be.

Like ghost hands carved from ice, a total of 36 hands were grabbed from under the lid of the jade coffin, which made people feel terrified.

Zuo Ci thought about it for a moment, then said: "The Queen Mother of the West gave King Mu of Zhou that mysterious seed back then, so she didn't have good intentions. Inside this jade coffin, he should be one of the three corpse gods."

In Taoism, it is believed that there are three gods in the human body, also called three worms. The surname of the three corpses is "Peng", the name of the upper corpse is "ju", the name of the middle corpse is "踬", and the name of the lower corpse is "蹻".

Moreover, the three corpse gods coincide with the number of heaven and earth, the upper corpse god has nine hands, the middle corpse god has 36 hands, and the lower corpse god has 72 hands.

Right now, 36 ice hands like ice sculptures protruded from the coffin lid of the jade coffin, and Zuo Ci concluded that the coffin must be the God of the Dead that Queen Mother of the West suppressed.

"I heard that one of the reasons why Emperor Zhou was miserable by that demon tree was that the demon tree ate people, and those who were eaten by the demon tree would bloom a flower on the demon tree. That person's corpse appeared in the petals of the demon tree, which was one person tall, and became a ghost. In your Taoist lineage, the innate responsibility of each generation's head is to exterminate the remnants of the demon tree left in the world , but that's the case?" Zuo Xiaoqing said in a low tone.

Zuo Ci didn't seem to want to talk about this matter with Zuo Xiaoqing, so he deliberately looked at the skeleton in the distance.

Zuo Xiaoqing continued: "The demon tree eats people, and the corpse god in the human body represents greed. If the two are combined, one is the seed of the immortal demon tree, and the other is the seed of the half-immortal. Human corpse god, do you think the combination of these two will become a glutton?"

According to legend, Huangdi beheaded Chiyou's head. Chiyou's head fell to the ground and turned into gluttony. He could eat people by opening his mouth to harm the world. He was a fierce beast in the world. The experts worked together to kill, but no one knew the specific situation.

Zuo Xiaoqing went on to say: "If it's just an ordinary person's corpse god, you can easily break it up if you find a little Taoist priest, but this is the corpse god of the Queen Mother of the West, and it has been suppressed for thousands of years...

If I'm not mistaken, at that time King Mu of Zhou, some alchemists had already seen this, and deliberately caused the coffin to be sunk into the Yellow River when he was crossing the Yellow River, but he didn't know why King Mu of Zhou believed so much in the Queen Mother of the West and ordered the confiscation Millions of people diverted the course of the Yellow River, dug out the coffin of the Queen Mother of the West in the mud of the Yellow River, and transported it to the capital. In the end, I had no choice but to mobilize the energy of the dragon veins in the land thousands of miles around and suppress it, am I right or wrong? "

Zuo Ci took a deep breath: "If they really lived a long time, they are all old monsters. You are right. If those bones open this jade coffin and release the corpse god inside, they will turn into gluttons. And this Taotie will become the ghost king of the Baili Ghost Kingdom, and it will be impossible to eliminate him at that time."

"Then I'm curious, who is the current master of your Taoism? I remember it was Zhang Daoling, is this person still alive?" Zuo Xiaoqing asked casually.

Zuo Ci smiled wryly and said: "You just came to the world, and you don't know many things yet. Zhang Daoling was indeed the master of Taoism back then, but some changes happened later. His descendant Zhang Jiao wanted to establish the land of the god religion. But in the past few years, it has been defeated."

"So, the Taoist school has no master now?" Zuo Xiaoqing's eyes flashed with excitement.

Zuo Cidao: "You can also say that, but my lineage and the Zhang family's lineage have diverged in previous generations. They want to establish a spiritual kingdom of cultivation, but we don't want to, so we separated."

"Who is the Taoist who has the highest backup and is still alive?" Zuo Xiaoqing asked.

Zuo Ci hesitated for a moment, and Zuo Xiaoqing immediately stepped down from the jade coffin with light steps.

"Zheng-"

The lid of the jade coffin shook, and the 36 ghost hands had already supported the coffin!
Zuo Ci turned pale with shock: "I say!"

"Oh!"

Zuo Xiaoqing's delicate hand slapped lightly on the jade coffin, and the lid of the coffin, which was about to be opened, was gently closed, as if his slender little palm had a strength of tens of thousands of catties.

"It's Yu Ji, when brothers Zhang Lu and Zhang Jiao started the incident, they did it under the guise of his name." Zuo Ci said dejectedly.

"Oh! Yu Ji..." Zuo Xiaoqing had a sweet smile on his lips, "I heard you say that you want to take Zhang Faqiu to Yu Ji's place?"

"I have no ill intentions towards him." Zuo Ci said seriously: "He is the preacher of the funeral scriptures. Since he appeared, he is going to deal with the catastrophe. Even if I don't point it out, you will know that people of their lineage are in the palm of their hands. Without palm prints, fate is illusory and cannot be deduced, once it appears, it is born in response to disaster."

Zuo Xiaoqing suddenly sneered, and patted the jade coffin hard, the 36 ghost hands exposed outside the coffin immediately retracted, and there was a faint and shrill roar from inside the coffin.

Zuo Ci saw the ice in the entire room disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zuo Xiaoqing pushed open the door and walked straight to the entrance of the village. The countless bones still walked into the village and pushed the houses across.

Zuo Ci followed behind and walked out to take a look, and saw Zuo Xiaoqing not avoiding, walking directly towards the group of bones.

"I've been out for a while, it's time to go underground and stay there, so don't be an eyesore!"
