The years of reselling the haunted house

I was just a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but I never expected that this door ointment would be very effective.When my plaster was put on, Ma Di's footsteps stopped.He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and asked me: "Li Yang, why did you shoot me?"

I can't laugh or cry, why did I shoot you, do you have no idea in your heart?

I pointed at the plaster: "It seems that you are awake. If I don't pat this plaster on you, you will follow the sound of the flute just like Third Uncle and Liang Yue."

Ma Su turned his head to look at the plaster on his shoulder, very curious, and muttered: "This plaster has such a miraculous effect? ​​What is it made of?"

Seeing what Ma Su meant, he actually wanted to reach out and take off the plaster to study it.

I quickly stopped him: "I said, old horse, you want to study it, and we will study it after we go back. You'd better not touch this thing now..."

Ma Di was stunned for a moment, and listened carefully, the faint sound of the human bone flute continued.

I pointed to the passage that Ma Di wanted to go in just now, and said, "This is the passage, you were attracted by the sound of the flute just now to want to go in."

Ma Di nodded: "The trip we just took was too hasty, there must be something in it that we haven't discovered."

We looked at each other, nodded at the same time, followed the tomb passage, and drilled in again.

The sound of the flute, the burial chamber, the hanging Taoist priest, the Murdara on the coffin, the footprints of the third person...

All of this is an unsolved mystery. Although I know that there are many risks ahead, I am determined at this time, not to mention that Uncle San and Liang Yue do not know whether they are dead or alive at this time.

We searched all the way, and the coffins and hanging Taoist priests we passed by did not change much.We searched the tomb carefully, but found nothing.

Until we came to the last tomb.

Ma Di looked around, suddenly squatted down, took out a pen and paper from his body, and drew something.

I was very surprised. I didn't know what Professor Guai still wanted to paint at this time, so I also squatted down to look at him.

The traces drawn by Ma Di are very clear and simple.I saw that Ma Di just marked seven star points on the paper with a pen.Look at that shape is a spoon, but it is somewhat similar to the direction of the Big Dipper.

In the end, Ma Di muttered like waking up from a dream, "It really is."

I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked him what he meant.

Ma Su shook his head and said only one sentence, follow me.

Saying this, Ma Di turned around and walked back.

I knew he must have discovered something, so I followed him back to the tomb.

After going round and round, Ma Di took me back to a tomb, but I can't remember which tomb it was.That kind of ancient tar lamp is very resistant to burning, and after such a long time, it can still emit a fairly bright light.This tomb is no different from the other tombs. We should have inspected it many times. Except for an ancient coffin and a hanging Taoist priest, we couldn't find anything else.

But Ma Di stopped in this tomb, and he took out the paper and looked at it for a while.

I finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Old Ma, is this the Big Dipper? What kind of trick did you draw this for?"

Ma Su pointed to a few star points on the paper and said: "The sequence of connecting the Big Dipper from Doukou to Doubiao is Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang. The first is called "Doukui", which forms the dipper of the Big Dipper; the last three are called "Doudi", which form the handle of the Big Dipper. I have confirmed that these seven tombs are exactly the shape of a Big Dipper, and the place where we are The location is the star in the center of the dipper handle, named "Kaiyang"."

I nodded: "What can this explain?"

Ma Di went on to say: "As far as I know, there is a very close correspondence between the astrology in the sky and the geography on the ground. Since this place is arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper, there must be another star here, which is Said, there is another tomb, we have not been to it, it is here."

As he said that, Ma Di drew another star next to the Kaiyang star where we were, connecting Kaiyang with that star.

I was taken aback: "The eighth star?"

Ma Di nodded and said: "That's right. If you observe the celestial body carefully, you will find that there is a dark star very close to Kaiyang star. The closest place is like the guardian of Kaiyang star, so it is called auxiliary. Kaiyang star and auxiliary star form a pair of double stars..."

At this moment, I have already admired Ma Su so much, he is a strange professor who has not insulted this strange word at all. This guy may have been studying knowledge all his life, and his stomach is like an encyclopedia library. He can say a thing or two about all aspects of knowledge.Moreover, his memory is very good, and many sources can be clearly explained.

Sure enough, before I asked again, he began to quote the scriptures again: "According to the "Historical Records Tianguan Shu", the auxiliary stars are close, and the auxiliary ministers are close; It has been said that the auxiliary star is Fu Hu Kaiyang, so the success of Zuo Dou is also the image of the prime minister. The seven political stars are bright, the country is prosperous, the auxiliary star is bright, and the ministers are strong. There is also the Song Dynasty..."

I hurriedly stopped the strange professor, the good guy talked about these classics, the strange professor's eyes lit up, as if he had forgotten the environment he was in, and he probably looked like this in the university lecture hall.

I waved my hand and said, "Lao Ma, I know you are very knowledgeable. But for these things, you just need to tell me the result. We are running out of time."

Seeing that I interrupted him, Ma Di smacked his lips and said, "I mean, there must be another tomb next to the tomb of the Kaiyang star, which is the tomb of the auxiliary star."

"How is this possible? We have searched for this place several times. Could it be that we want to dig out the walls here?"

Ma Di pointed to the coffin: "Push it away."

I understood what Ma Di meant. Indeed, if there is any place in this tomb that we haven't found, it is the space under the coffin.

I know that judging from the current distribution of the labor force, I am the main force doing the coffin pushing.

I followed Ma Su's instructions and pushed the end of the coffin.The coffin was already very broken, and there were cracks and gaps in various degrees in many places. I was afraid that if I pushed the coffin hard, it would fall apart.

Ma Di saw what I meant, waved his hand and said, "I've seen it. These real ancient coffins are very sophisticated. Although their structure is simple, they are definitely made by a skilled coffin maker." .So even though it is damaged, it won't fall apart easily. I push it from behind and hold it by the side, so there shouldn't be any problem."

I nodded, supported the coffin with both hands, and kicked my feet on the ground.From the cracks in the coffin, there was a faint black air constantly coming out, and it probably smelled bad.Fortunately, I was wearing the mask soaked in sheep urine, and my nose was full of urine smell, so I couldn't smell other smells at all.However, Professor Wei's mask is still very useful. Apart from the unpleasant smell, it is quite useful. After I got out of this tomb, I have never had any uncomfortable reactions.

But the top of the coffin was sticky and uncomfortable to the touch.I gritted my teeth and just wanted to push it away as soon as possible, so I pushed with seven or eight percent of my strength.

To my surprise, the coffin looked very heavy, but after I pushed hard a few times, it started to slide slowly.

Soon, the coffin was pushed half a meter away by me.

At the original position of the coffin, a smooth stone slab appeared.

It turned out that the coffin fell on this stone slab, no wonder I didn't have to push it up with much effort.

Ma Di instructed me to continue pushing until the coffin was completely pushed away by a certain distance.

A whole slab of stone appeared at our feet.

Ma Di took an oil lamp and knelt down to observe the stone slab.

On that stone slab, many words were densely engraved.Those fonts are all official script, very neat.However, those contents seemed very literary, and I didn't have the slightest patience to read them.

Fortunately, the strange professor Ma Su is here, and these things are simply not my turn to study.

Although I am very anxious, but now, I still have to go step by step.Intuition tells me that we are getting closer and closer to the truth.Uncle San and Liang Yue may be on the other side of the wall from us.

I also pinned my hope of breaking through this wall on Professor Wei.

Holding the lamp in his hand, Ma Di looked at the stone slab very carefully.

After a full quarter of an hour, Ma Su finally stood up and rubbed his old waist with grinning teeth.

I hurriedly asked, "Old Ma, what does it mean?"

Ma Di said: "It is to explain the identity of the owner of the tomb, something like an epitaph. It seems that my guess is correct..."

Chapter 38 Human Bone Wind Chimes

I asked, "What did you guess?"

Ma Di said: "Remember what I just said about this auxiliary star: the auxiliary star is Fu Hu Kaiyang, so the success of Zuo Dou is also the image of the prime minister. The seven political stars are bright, their country is prosperous, and the auxiliary star is bright, then Chen Qiang. I originally thought that the person buried in this auxiliary star position must be a person who is familiar with celestial phenomena and geomantic omen. He wants his descendants to have the image of a general. And the words on this stone slab just illustrate this a little."

"Who is buried here?"

Ma Su touched the stone slab, followed the inscription on it, and said, "This man is called Wu Baozhang."

"Wu Baozhang, I've never heard of this name before."

Ma Di nodded and said: "You definitely don't know him, but his patriarch is very famous, that is, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi who was in Yunnan at that time. This Wu Baozhang was Wu Sangui's retainer. He was very popular and made great contributions to Wu Sangui. But this person He lived a low-key life and was a retainer, so many historical books and classics did not record it. Later, during the San Francisco Rebellion, Wu Baozhang was ordered to go to Guangdong to contact King Shang Kexi of Pingnan. Later, this person was very good at assessing the situation and participated in admonishing him after he arrived in Guangdong. Shang Kexi persisted in his allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, and used the small land of Guangdong to contain more than [-] rebels who could not go north wholeheartedly, creating favorable conditions for the Qing government to counter the rebellion. Afterwards, he did not return to Yunnan, but stayed in Guangdong. King Pingnan knew He was very talented and successful in admonishing him, so he was appointed to supervise Xin'an County, which is now the area around Shenzhen. He was also conscientious, although his official position was not large, he also had considerable political achievements. Later Wu Baozhang died in Guangdong and was buried In the place of office. To be precise, in the tomb where we are now."

After listening to Ma Di's introduction, I understand a little bit.At that time, the third uncle said that the geomantic omen here is a situation where eight snakes encircle the dragon, and in the eight coffins are the vicious criminals who were buried alive, so it is deduced that the person who takes a fancy to the geomantic omen here must be a big man.Now the identity of the owner of the tomb has become clear. Although Wu Baozhang is not a shocking big shot, his status is not low, and he has been an official here for many years, so he has the ability.It must be that he has been by Wu Sangui's side for many years and has seen the world.I also want my descendants to be prosperous, so I chose a geomantic treasure land, and it is also a dragon vein.But because the dragon is an evil dragon, a Feng Shui master was found to counteract the evil wind and water of the evil dragon by wrapping the dragon with eight pythons.

In fact, I am not very interested in the identity of the owner of the tomb, and I came here only to find out the whereabouts of Third Uncle and Liang Yue.Hearing Ma Su say that this tomb called Kaiyangxing may have a tomb called Fuxing next to it, he was impatient to find it.

Ma Di pointed to the stone slab on the ground and said, "If my judgment is correct, there should be a passage leading to another tomb under this stone slab."

What Ma Di said was so convincing, I half-believed and squatted down to lift the stone slab.

The stone slab was not very thick, and when I exerted all my strength, I opened a gap in the stone slab.A gust of cold wind suddenly came out along the gap, which made me shiver.

In this underground tomb, it was already very gloomy and cold, and my body was always uncomfortable.But the coldness under the stone slab is even more intensified, as if the bottom and top of the stone slab are two completely different spaces.That stone slab is more like a barrier separating the two spaces.

However, it turns out that Ma Di's deduction is completely correct.There really is a dark passage below.Through the light above, it can be seen that a passage spirals downward.The cold wind was blowing up from below.

I glanced at Ma Di, and Ma Di nodded at me.It seems that everything is under his control.

I completely removed the stone slab, held the mahogany sword and a lamp, and walked down the passage first.

The passage spiraled downward, and it was also dug artificially.About three or four meters down, another tomb appeared in front of me.

But at this moment, a flute sounded suddenly.

The sound of the flute heard this time is different from usual. The sound of the flute I heard before always feels like there is something in the middle, which seems very hollow.But this time it felt very close, like it was blowing in my ear.

When we heard the reputation, the scene almost scared me to pee.

I saw that on one wall of this tomb, densely hung corpses.

It's just that among these corpses, there are a few mummified corpses, and a few corpses that haven't completely decomposed. They should have been dead for a few years.And Chen Wanli, who once attacked me and Liang Yue, and the female corpse were also hung in it.

No wonder we came to the underground parking lot again and were not attacked by them again. It turned out that they were hung here.

What's even more bizarre is that in front of the wall of corpses, there is a string of wind chimes that sway with the wind.I was just wondering why there were wind chimes hanging here, but after a closer look, I found that what hung there looked like a string of wind chimes at first glance, but they were actually human calf bones.

Looking at the ancient corpses on the wall, they all lacked a leg bone.

That human bone wind chime was actually made of the calf bones from those ancient corpses.With the wind blowing, the human bone wind chime made a whining flute sound.

The sound of the flute sounds breathtaking, although it is only a few leg bones, it makes people daunting and dare not move forward.

This is the human bone flute.

Ma Di saw the human bone flute that he had always wanted to see, and forgot his fear for a moment. After shouting, he rushed to the front of the human bone wind chime and looked up at the string of bone flutes.

I never expected that this human bone flute was not blown by a human, but hung here and made its own sound.Then the sound of the flute is too weird, this is a confined space, where does the wind come from?

It is estimated that Ma Di also thought of this, looking at the direction in which the wind chime swayed, and at the same time looked upwind of the wind chime.

Only then did we discover that the tomb is a gourd-shaped tomb, and the tomb with the wind chimes is a small one, separated by a narrow passage, and there is a larger one.

And the wind that blows the human bone wind chimes came from that tomb.

We traced this step by step from the underground parking lot, and each new discovery made our hearts hang.Fortunately, the third uncle and Liang Yue were not found on the corpse wall just now, who knows what other discoveries will be made next.

I gritted my teeth, and before Ma Di could speak, I held up a lamp and walked towards the other tomb.

Ma Di also followed, and we walked through the narrow passage to the inside of the big tomb.

There are many ancient asphalt lamps around the tomb, but because the passage is too narrow, most of the light is blocked, so we didn't notice this tomb just now.

In the middle of the tomb, there is a coffin.

Originally, it was not uncommon to find a coffin in the tomb. What is more unusual is that the shape of this coffin is different.

Normal coffins are one big at one end and small at the other end, and their basic shapes are almost the same.

But what appeared here turned out to be a turtle coffin.

The reason why it is called the turtle coffin is because the coffin is carried by a wooden turtle.The coffin seemed to be integrated with the wooden tortoise. The bottom of the coffin fit perfectly with the back of the wooden tortoise, and there was no visible gap. Obviously, the two were carved together.

We were amazed not only by the special shape of the coffin, but also by the craftsman's craftsmanship.

The wooden turtle moved forward with its head held high, pointing its head towards the direction of the passage. It looked vivid and lifelike.

I looked at the strange tortoise coffin, which was quite strange, so I said, "Could it be that Wu Baozhang is in this coffin? Why is there a turtle under the coffin?"

Ma Su glanced at me and said, "Xiao Li, you still need to study more. Ignorance is not scary, but blatant nonsense is scary."

"Old horse, what do you mean? Am I wrong?" I asked.

Professor Guai patiently explained to me: "This is not called a tortoise, it is called Bixi. It is one of the nine sons of the dragon in ancient Han mythology, also known as Baxia. It is shaped like a tortoise and is easy to bear. So we often use it in temples and ancestral halls. Or the cemetery saw it supporting a stele. This stele is of great cultural significance. It symbolizes longevity and auspiciousness, and also has status levels. Totem worship or witchcraft worship in some places.”

"Isn't that right? You're talking about the stele, so it's obviously a coffin, okay?" I waved my hand and said.

"This kind of turtle coffin has appeared several times in history. When this kind of turtle coffin was unearthed, there was an extremely rare severe drought at that time. This is also recorded in ancient books, but I don't know if it is related to this It is related to the excavation of the tortoise coffin. Besides, does this tomb look like a temple?"

Hearing what Ma Di said, I looked around the tomb.

This time, I discovered the difference again. The tomb was artificially decorated as a temple.

On the walls of the tomb, there are inlaid stone slabs, and many murals are carved on the stone slabs.There are incense burners and ancient tripods piled up below.

I walked over and found some incense ash in the incense burner. Judging by the color of the incense ash, it should not be a long time before burning incense.

I became more and more confused, and I knew in my heart that I couldn't figure out these things.I looked at Ma Su, hoping he could give me a perfect explanation.

Ma Su opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly heard a sound coming from the tortoise coffin.

I was shocked, lest I heard wrong.Immediately afterwards, there was another sound, as if something inside accidentally hit the coffin.

At this time, a gust of sinister wind suddenly blew out from the mouth of the bearer's coffin, the wind was very strong and extremely cold.At the same time, the human bone wind chime in front of the corpse wall also rang out a breathtaking flute sound.

The source was found, and it turned out that the person who played the human bone flute was Bixi who carried the coffin.

But no matter how vivid this Bixi is, it is a wood carving after all, so how could it be possible to blow the wind?
