Different pupils

Lin Haoren feels that this is a museum, and there are all kinds of strange things in it.Along the way, there are golden bodies of masters, knives that beheaded thousands of people, rhino horns that can interrogate Yin and Yang, and lanterns made of human skin.

Lin Haoren looked at the snow-white lantern with goosebumps all over his body, and felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his back, and then along his back all the way to his forehead.

"Don't be afraid." Xing Yu patted him on the shoulder, frightening Lin Haoren into a fright, "The soul on it has long been wiped out, and now it is just an ordinary lantern. It's just that this body is too sinister, and it has been incorruptible for so many years , that’s why the town is here.”

Lin Haoren: "..." It's not ordinary at all, okay?

Xing Tianlu pointed to the road he walked just now: "The surrounding portraits are actually arranged in a formation, everything is contained in it, and nothing will happen. Just don't worry."

"Do you have to put it out?" Lin Haoren wondered, "Can't you put it away?"

"No way, my elder brother and sister-in-law like this. Just like you play with figures, won't you put them on display in a glass cabinet?" Xing Tianlu smiled very warmly, and said softly, "That electric chair is my sister-in-law's favorite. Yes, it has a good sense of design.”

Lin Haoren: "..."

After all, the Xing family is one of the eight major sects, with a history of more than 1000 years. Even though the inheritance of several generations was interrupted and the Cultural Revolution was baptized, a lot of things were still preserved.

There are also many ancient books with broken pages, antiquities and evil things stored in the underground warehouse. The number is beyond Lin Haoren's imagination.

Xing Tianlu was a little surprised. Xing Yu introduced without reservation. He glanced at his nephew, although his face was calm, he was extremely surprised in his heart.

His little nephew was able to connect yin and yang at birth, which is a rare talent in the lineage of the celestial masters, so he was appointed as the next successor of the Blood Soul Hall early on, and he is a well-deserved future patriarch.

Because of this, he has been blessed with educational resources since he was a child, and the best in his family will be given to him. His style of conduct is almost exactly the same as that of his father, Xing Tianlu's eldest brother, and now the head of the Xing family, Xing Tianhu.

He is smart and cunning at a young age. He is not only very talented in catching ghosts, but also very good at doing business. On the surface, he looks gentle and polite, but in fact he is bold and straightforward in his methods.Once you make up your mind, even ten cows will not be able to pull back.

Not to mention the businessman's ability to cunning rabbits and three caves, they are not ordinary people, Xing Yu actually told an outsider about the family affairs without any concealment - even if it is an old classmate, and has the same ability as Xing Yu, it is too much Haste.

Not to mention Xing Tianlu, Lin Haoren could tell something was wrong.

He was afraid that the more he knew, the less he would be able to leave—just as he would be unable to live if he saw the kidnapper.He hurriedly said: "I want to see the Soul Melting Cauldron."

Xing Yu stopped the introduction, looked at him with some regret, and said, "I was talking about the other branches of the Blood Soul Church. There are many ancient books there. Ding's clue..."

"Stop." Lin Haoren couldn't help covering Xing Yu's mouth with his hand, "This is your family's business, it's inconvenient for me to listen to it as an outsider."

Xing Yu sniffed the faint scent of Lin Haoren's palms. This was the smell of Lin Haoren's commonly used hand cream. There was a faint and indescribable smell of medicinal materials.

Xing Yu smiled silently, stretched out his hand to cover the back of Lin Haoren's hand, and rubbed his thumb lightly, looking indecent.

Lin Haoren hurriedly let go of his hand, feeling the heat from Xing Yu's breath in his palm, he couldn't help but quietly wiped it on his trouser leg.

The three entered the study room on the second floor, and Xing Tianlu took down the Soul Melting Cauldron that was placed on the red cushion.

It was the first time Lin Haoren saw this thing, and he was immediately attracted.

The study room has the curtains drawn, and the light is a bit dim. The Melting Soul Cauldron is only the size of an adult's palm, and the design is exquisite. Although it has been mottled for thousands of years, it can be seen that it has a heavy sense of history.

Half of it is pasted with a yellow talisman, and the other half reveals a carved four-shaped beast. On the cover is also a four-shaped beast: a dragon horn, a sheep's head, a cow's body, and a horse's hoof; there are sharp wolf teeth under the turned-up lips. A rope of unknown kind is hanging on it.

It just lay quietly on the cushion, passing through the torrent of time, with an indescribable sadness and heaviness...

"Senior?" Xing Yu suddenly grabbed Lin Haoren's shoulder and said in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Xing Tianlu put away the Soul Melting Cauldron, put it in the cabinet, and looked at him seriously.

Lin Haoren was confused, he didn't know what they were surprised at, and belatedly raised his hand to wipe his face, only to find that his cheeks were cold and wet, and tears were already streaming down his face.

"I..." Lin Haoren said in confusion, "I don't know, I..."

"Where is it uncomfortable? Or do you feel something?" Xing Yu helped him to sit down and brought him hot tea. "Some people are more sensitive. They can feel the seventh sense, which is inspiration. They can feel the dead objects. remnants."

"No, I..." Lin Haoren frowned, and said after a while, "I don't know, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

In fact, it was not only uncomfortable, but after recovering, he realized that he had been holding his breath just now. At this moment, his chest was constricted and painful, his throat was tight, and even his back was sweating finely.

He tried his best to calm down and joked, "Maybe I don't agree with it."

Xing Yu and Xing Tianlu looked at each other. Xing Yu knelt down and held Lin Haoren's hand. When he found that Lin Haoren's fingertips were cold, he rubbed them gently in the palm of his hand and said, "You have the same ability as me. Don't underestimate this kind of hand. Power, it can guide us in the direction we are going, and even help us avoid many accidents. So if you think there is something wrong, you must say it, huh?"

Lin Haoren nodded, Xing Yu's palms were hot, completely different from the cold feeling when he was a living soul.

Lin Haoren realized that he was a little greedy for this kind of temperature.

He felt that there was something wrong with him, so he quickly withdrew his hand, picked up the teacup and drank a few mouthfuls, the heat warmed his heart and stomach, and made him calm down a little.

"Where's that guy?" He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"The injury is too serious, and I'm sleeping for the time being." Xing Tianlu talked about the wild ghost, and also mentioned the idea of ​​leaving it to repair the ancient books temporarily. Lin Haoren had no objection, after all, he couldn't control these things.But he has to know a result.

"You don't know how to keep it?" He looked at Xing Tianlu and then at Xing Yu.

Xing Yu promised: "When it finishes what it should do, we will hand it over to the ghost messenger."

Lin Haoren still didn't understand many things, but his mind was confused for a while, and he collected his thoughts before saying: "I have a few questions, first, why did the ghost messenger come that day, but said that this matter is not up to it? It's okay for you to leave it now Is it? Second, I know a kid who is..."

He glanced at Xing Yu, and said embarrassedly: "The one you found at my house that day. It seems to know the guy in the tripod, so I won't let me hurt it."

"Third..." Lin Haoren touched the back of his neck and said, "What kind of tomb is the gentleman's tomb? As far as I know, it is just an ordinary ancient tomb, which was discovered when Donghai City developed the virgin forest more than ten years ago. .Although it has been a long time ago, Donghai City is not famous in history, so it should not be of much scientific research value. How could there be such a thing buried there?"

Xing Tianlu sat down on the opposite sofa, crossed his hands and fingers on his lower abdomen, leaned back slightly into the sofa, and said softly: "Your questions are on the point, which is very good. It just so happens that I have a Xing Yu should also listen to the information I just received this morning."

Xing Yu sat down beside Lin Haoren, and the two looked at Xing Tianlu together.

The central air conditioner was turned on in the house, and the temperature was moderate. Xing Tianlu was wearing a beige checked vest with a white shirt inside and a slender tie. He took a look at an old pocket watch from his suit trousers pocket.

His words and deeds are very stable, his finger joints are slender and beautiful, because of his fair skin, there are faint blue blood vessels on the back of his hand.It wasn't until this time that Lin Haoren, who was as blind as a face, realized that Xing Tianlu and Xing Yu looked very similar: one was much more mature, while the other had the sharpness unique to young people.

Xing Tianlu opened a document bag beside the table, pulled out a stack of papers, and said, "This is the investigation information about the gentleman's tomb that I asked the relevant departments to do before. Now the area around the gentleman's tomb has been fenced off, and the follow-up development of the scenic spot has also been suspended. , taking advantage of the close of the new year, the scenic spot has suspended the opening of the scenic spot under the pretext of renovation. And this, this is the video material of the tomb robbers who climbed the plank road and went to the gentleman's tomb."

The more important people who hold money and power, the more they believe in some Feng Shui ideas. The Xing family has some influence in front of high-ranking and powerful people, and it is very easy to investigate some people and things.

Xing Yu took the documents and glanced at them hastily, raising his eyebrows: "The gentleman's tomb is just an ancient tomb hundreds of years ago? That's impossible."

"This matter has to start with the history of Donghai City." Xing Tianlu said, "More than 1000 years ago, Donghai City was originally named Dongyun Town. It was a little-known town with several small villages under it. Today's Dongyun The primeval forest scenic spot is exactly where one of the small villages is located. At that time, the Dongyun primeval forest was called "Yaojia Village". There are quite a few young people in the army, and every family is proud to be a soldier."

The general has gone through hundreds of battles and has left some fame in history. After the general passed away, later generations built a tomb in the village to commemorate him, and built a temple behind him as the "God of War".Legend has it that this temple can ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts, and keep the house safe. If children worship it devoutly, they will be promoted and rich in the future, and they will have no disadvantages in their careers.

Later, it was even more miraculous, saying that if you worship, you will be able to have a son, and the future will be smooth sailing, and the ancestors will be honored.

With the passage of time, the village has also experienced many changes. In the torrent of time, the temple collapsed and the tomb was covered by trees. Now, Dongyun Town in those days has become Donghai City. Because of the good surrounding environment and beautiful geographical scenery, gradually developed into a tourist city.The first half of the virgin forest has been built, and the second half has not been developed, named "Dongyun Primitive Forest Scenic Spot".

"During the development of the scenic spot, the workers discovered this tomb." Xing Tianlu took a sip of tea and said, "The relevant departments have come to see it, because the writing on the stone tablet outside is still there, and it is not too long ago, so it is not of great scientific research value. So I just copied the words on the stone tablet, and didn't intend to dig further. The scenic spot simply took this as part of the tour, set up a sign outside, and wanted to make it a general's tomb—but there are many general's tombs all over the country, and there are no special features , so I decided to name it differently. It is said that the great general was very handsome and good-looking. The general's character is elegant, he looks more like a literati when he doesn't hold a knife and gun, and he takes the enemy's head without blood staining his clothes', and finally decided on the 'Gentlemen's Tomb'."

Xing Yu asked suspiciously, "How could there be a Soul Melting Cauldron in the Clothes Tomb hundreds of years ago? What about the inspection results of other cultural relics?"

"There are some cultural relics from all dynasties." Xing Tianlu made a calm gesture and said, "This is what we guessed. Before the name was changed in Yaoxing Village, the descendants of the same group of villagers lived there. There are outsiders joining, but it remains largely the same. Because the location itself is remote, it is not easy to attract wars. There are many villages like this where generations alternate. The neighbors are close, and most of them are relatives. It is not surprising. In such Over a long period of time, with the change of dynasties, the living habits in it have also been constantly changing, so there are many antiques from dynasties."

This makes sense, Xing Yu nodded and asked him to continue.

"After the name was changed to General Village, this place became famous." Xing Tianlu said, "Young people are proud of being soldiers, and almost all left the village. I took a lot of old things from vacant houses and stuffed them into the Clothes Tomb, which can be regarded as an offering, so some ancient things from various dynasties and generations were mixed in, and even antiquities from more than 1000 years ago were mixed in."

Lin Haoren was surprised: "But how did the things from the Ghost Sect get in?"

Xing Tianlu tapped the table with his fingers: "This is destined." He said, "Not far from Yaoxing Village, which is now in the forest behind the Dongyun Primitive Forest Scenic Area, there was a legend that there was once a sect. We checked the relevant information of the Ghost Sect, and most of the ancient books are gone, so it is difficult to find the specific location, but it is very likely...there is the Ghost Sect.”

Lin Haoren was not familiar with these sects, so he was at a loss when he heard the words. Xing Yu gave him a brief introduction to the eight sects.

The so-called eight major sects are: Yuguizong, Luohunmen, Baigutang, Tianchongzong, Xishenzong, Xuanhuomen, Xuehunmen, Qingliandian.Among them, the five sects have long since disappeared, and now there are only Xuehun Hall, Xishenzong, and Qinglian Hall left.

"The Ghost Control Sect used to be the head of the Eight Great Sects." Xing Yu said.

Only then did Lin Haoren ask in surprise: "What a coincidence? Are you sure? The former site of Yuguizong is actually in Donghai City?"

"So it's destined." Xing Tianlu said, "The treasure of the Ghost Control Sect's township sect that suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons, now appears in front of us in this way. Isn't this very interesting?"
