The years of reselling the haunted house

Ma Di explained: "The Nine-Aperture Linglong Bone is actually a special kind of skull. The so-called Linglong Bone is just a title to distinguish it from other ordinary skulls. The Nine-Aperture Linglong Bone also means nine holes. In other words, There are nine holes in this skull."

"Nine holes?"

After Ma Su finished speaking, we were all curious, so we gathered around Er Zhuang's skull and observed it carefully.

Pang Haihai used the Jianglong wooden sword to turn the skull in several directions, and we also counted them.

Sure enough, on the skull, apart from the seven holes for the eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth, there was also a hole between his brows and the top of his head.The hole between the eyebrows is the size of a fingernail, but the hole on the top of the head is bigger than the eye hole.

In this way, there are really nine holes.

People have seven orifices, I know it.It is generally described that people die from poisoning, but it is said that they are bleeding from the seven orifices.The normal seven orifices are nothing more than the seven eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth.

But there are actually nine holes in the head of this Er Zhuang. What does this mean?

We were all puzzled and looked at Ma Su one after another.

As Ma Di, a professor of paleontology, this kind of human skull must also be within the scope of his research.That's why he was keenly aware of the difference in Er Zhuang's skull just now.

I don't know if this situation with the Erzhuang's skull has anything to do with our overall plan.But now that it has been discovered, and Ma Di seems to be very interested in this skull, we still want to find out.

We all stared at Ma Di. Ma Di knew what we were thinking, so he pointed to the skull and explained: "It is usually said that people have seven orifices. "Apertures" actually refer to holes for ventilation. The mouth is called Qiqiao. Orifices are the names of parts of the human body, but there is also a saying of Jiuqiao, that is, in addition to the seven "clear orifices" on the head and face, the human body also has two or three "turbid orifices". The head and face, so when it comes to the skull, ordinary people only have seven orifices. These seven orifices have a lot to do with the human body. The essence of the five internal organs reaches the seven orifices respectively. Diseases in the five internal organs are often reflected in the changes in the seven orifices. "Lingshu Pulse Degree" records that "the five internal organs are often read in the upper seven orifices.Therefore, the lung qi flows through the nose, and when the lungs are in harmony, the nose can know the smell; the heart qi flows through the tongue, and the heart can know the five flavors; When the spleen is in harmony, the mouth can know the five grains; the kidney qi flows through the ears, and the kidneys are in harmony, and the ears can hear the five sounds.If the five viscera are not in harmony, the seven senses will not understand..."

As Ma Di was talking, he fell into his old habit again, and began to quote scriptures and talk endlessly.His speech and actions are not like being in an underground palace, but more like being on the three-foot podium of his school.

I quickly waved my hand to signal Ma Di: "Old Ma, old Ma, this is not a school. Let's make a long story short. What do you think these two strong are nine orifices, not seven orifices?"

Ma Di was interrupted by me, and seemed a bit unsatisfied, and said with some unfinished business: "Well, let me make a long story short. The seven orifices are born in nature and raised in the day after tomorrow. There are two orifices, one in the center of the eyebrows, and the other in the spirit of heaven. These two orifices are born in the postnatal and opened in the fate of heaven. Anyone who has nine orifices must reach heaven and man, and be a person above man. In other words, anyone who has A person with nine apertures is definitely not an ordinary person, he should be a master of human beings, able to understand the changes of the world, and able to understand everything in the world..."

Ma Su spit here and Xingzi was talking, when Meng Daqing suddenly let out a snort and laughed.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he lost his composure, and said from the side: "I said... this Mr. Ma. I don't really understand what you are talking about, but you said that Er Zhuang has this kind of nine Awkward, what kind of person is a master, who can penetrate the changes of the world and understand everything in the world, isn't it a bit unreliable? I don't know about others, but I don't know about this second strong? That's a lazy thing, If these two brothers hadn’t been helped by my uncle, they wouldn’t be able to survive. Just such a person, he’s not as good as I am, can he be a master? Isn’t that nonsense?”

As Meng Daqing talked, he couldn't help laughing. Maybe when he mentioned that Er Zhuang was a master, he thought it was a big joke.

Ma Di glanced at Meng Daqing angrily, and said, "You don't understand yourself, so listen to me carefully if you don't understand, what are you talking about? Didn't I say it? The two orifices between eyebrows and Tianling are born It was opened in Tianyuan in the day after tomorrow. That is to say, these two orifices were not brought from the mother's womb, but were born for some reason the day after tomorrow. The person who gave birth to the extra two orifices would not feel anything. Just giving birth to the two orifices will not produce any changes in itself, only when the two orifices are opened, there will be substantial changes."

Hearing this, I understood a little bit, so I said: "Old horse, opening two orifices, such as the position between the eyebrows, is it the opening of the sky? You said that it can penetrate the changes of the world, is this what you mean?"

Ma Di nodded: "That's right. Opening the eyes of the sky is a Taoist saying. For us, it means opening the eyes. Born in the day after tomorrow and opened in the fate of the sky. That is to say, if you want to open the two orifices, you cannot rely on manpower. It can only depend on fate."

Chapter 1036 Ghost Shadow

"Tianyuan? Do you mean resignation?" I asked.

Ma Di replied: "Almost. This Erzhuang's skull only has nine openings, but not all nine openings. So whether it is in terms of body structure or his actions, he is still just an ordinary person. Some Even if a person is born with the nine orifices, he may not open the nine orifices until he dies. This Er Zhuang is an example."

What Ma Su meant was very clear this time.That is, even if a person has nine orifices, they still need to be opened to change.

Pang Dahai understood, he lifted Er Zhuang's skull with Jianglong wooden sword, and said, "That means, even if this skull has nine holes, it's useless."

I waved my hand and said, "Fatty, the dead are the most important. Er Zhuang is dead, and we have found his bones. Let's put the skull on the side of the road first. If we can return smoothly, we will bring his bones back to the village." go inside."

Fat Dahai nodded, put the skull back on the ground, and muttered: "Why did this Erzhuang suddenly change from a fleshy corpse to this? Could it be that he wanted to show us his nine orifices? "

I thought about it and said, "I think it might be caused by the sneeze in Daqing."

"My sneezing, what happened to my sneezing?" Meng Daqing was puzzled.

I explained: "A sneeze can shoot nearly 100 million droplets. And the droplets are sprayed out very quickly. These droplets come from the body and carry their own yang energy. You sneeze out , 100 million droplets sprayed on Er Zhuang's face, and the yang energy carried directly unlocked Er Zhuang's body."

"Unlock? Boss, do you mean Er Zhuang's original body is locked?" Pang Dahai asked.

I nodded: "It should be like this. His corpse is already extremely rotten, and it can only be maintained here. Meng Daqing sprayed it with Yang Qi, and it became the last straw that broke the camel's back. And I also doubted that, The reason why Er Zhuang's corpse appeared here is because of the nine orifices in his skull. Although he couldn't feel it himself, the nine orifices took effect after he died."

Ma Di was taken aback, and asked, "Li Yang, is there any basis for your statement?"

I shook my head: "No, it's completely a subconscious feeling, or intuition. But it's not time to delve into these things now, we have already delayed too much time here. We have to hurry up and go inside."

Everyone nodded, and each used a lighting tool to illuminate the road. We continued to walk forward along the passage under our feet.

We bypassed Er Zhuang's remains on the ground and proceeded along this passage.

After walking more than ten meters away, lights suddenly lit up on both sides.The same kind of lamp dish, like the one we saw in the corridor.

The little lights add to the spooky atmosphere here.

I have already made a judgment on these lights, that is, as the air enters, the lamp oil in these lamp dishes reacts with some substance in the air, resulting in flames.

This speculation of mine was later verified.Ma Di told me that among the chemical elements, there is really a mixed substance that has this property.In the vacuum state, it is intact and does not produce any changes.But once there is enough oxygen, the substance quickly spontaneously ignites.And it consumes an extremely low amount of raw materials for combustion.In other words, once this thing is ignited, such a small plate of matter may burn for several months, or even a year or two.

However, this kind of mixed substance can only be prepared by mixing several elements in a certain ratio, which is difficult to complete under modern technology.We really don't understand how this kind of thing was prepared in the Qianlong Dynasty 200 years ago.

Sometimes the wisdom of the ancients makes you feel superhuman.

Small oil lamps lit up one after another on both sides, gradually revealing the whole picture of the passage to us.

The ground of this passage is all paved with stone slabs, which looks neat and smooth.The gaps between each stone slab are well handled, and at first glance, it looks like a whole.It's as if the whole road is paved with a stone slab.

We haven't seen other buildings in the underground palace yet, but we just look at the road under our feet.The skill of laying out this kind of stone road is already breathtaking.

I estimate that the stone road paved with modern technology may not be much better than the technology of the past.

It is conceivable that the artisan skills at that time had definitely reached the point of proficiency.

Looking from where we are, we can clearly see that this stone road is not a flat road, but a downhill road that slopes downwards in front.

We couldn't see anything ahead of us except the bare road.And as the road stretched out, the front became dark again.

I was staring ahead, ready to move on.

Suddenly Pang Dahai shouted in a low voice: "Boss, there are people on both sides."

This shocked us all, and we all looked to the sides.

Sure enough, under the background of the flames of the lamp discs, a figure appeared between every two lamp discs.

This figure should have appeared not long ago, because when the flames lit up, I had looked to both sides.At that time, apart from those light discs, there were no other abnormalities, let alone these figures.

Because the light from the flames of those lamp dishes was really weak, it was not enough to fully reveal the figure.

In order to find out who those figures were, we slowly moved towards the side of the passage.

Our speed is very slow in order to deal with unexpected situations that may arise at any time.

But nothing happened until we got to the edge of the walls on both sides.Now we all saw the figure, but it was not a real person, but a shadow.

It is the shadows illuminated by the light of those lamp discs.The man's shadow fluctuated on the wall, vividly.

But what surprised us was that we only saw shadows, but no people. Could it be ghost shadows?

We all know that according to normal physical principles, a shadow is a darker area formed because an object blocks the propagation of light and cannot pass through an opaque object. It is an optical phenomenon.

That is to say, in order to form a shadow, there must be two necessary conditions of "light" and "opaque object".

But the ghosts we saw were on the wall, but we only saw the necessary condition of "light".Another necessary condition, opaque objects, is not here.

Chapter 1037 Nine Orifices Gather Nine Souls

There are shadows of people, but no one.What is the situation?

Although the figure on the wall is not as clear as that of a real person, the overall outline can still be seen.

The figure was wearing a hat that resembled a bamboo hat on his head, and he was probably wearing a robe, and he was standing with his hands down.

I stared at the figure for a long time, and suddenly realized that what I was wearing was not a hat, but an official hat from the Qing Dynasty, top-wearing.Upon closer inspection, there are feather-like objects on the top.Isn't this the Dingdai Hualing of the Qing Dynasty?So, these figures are the shadows of people from the Qing Dynasty?

Just as we were staring at the figure in a daze, we suddenly found that the figure had changed.

It was originally a shadow of a person, but inadvertently, it started to disperse.From one person to two people, then from two people to four people, and then the shadows of the four people continued to scatter, and there were seven or eight people shaking on the wall.

The shadows on these walls have different shapes, but they all wear plumes.

We have just experienced the scene of Er Zhuang, and we haven't fully calmed down yet, and we discovered such a strange situation, everyone's face is a little ugly.

To be honest, the situation in front of me is beyond the realm of what I can explain.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ma Su suddenly said: "I seem to know what's going on."

I was taken aback for a moment, I never thought that Ma Di, who has always only studied paleontology, became a master of metaphysics this time.

"Old horse, what's going on?" I asked impatiently.

Ma Di said: "It should still be related to the Jiuqiaogu."

"Nine orifice bones? The skull that was just two years old?" Pang Dahai asked.

Ma Di waved his hand: "No, it's not. The nine-orifice bone I said is not specific but general. Just now we said that a person with nine-orifice bones, once the nine-orifice bone is opened, will become a master, able to penetrate the world Change can penetrate everything in the world. In fact, this kind of person should have a special skill..."

As Ma Di was talking, there was a sudden pause.This made me anxious enough to come to this underground palace. Although it is safe and stable at present, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.Going forward may be a trap one step at a time, so it is best to try to understand what is happening now.

"Old horse, what is it? Tell me...why are you still hesitating?" I couldn't help urging.

Ma Di sighed, and said: "Okay. Actually, I, a professor who advocates science, followed you everywhere to get involved in these supernatural things. This is an irony in itself. What I will talk about next has nothing to do with science. This goes against my original intention of studying for decades.”

I smiled bitterly, waved my hand and said, "Lao Ma, don't be hypocritical at this time. Who doesn't know that you don't reject the way of ghosts and gods. You tell us, we promise not to tell you. This nine orifices Bones, what's going on?"

Ma Di was robbed by me, and I simply opened my heart.Otherwise, in his capacity as a professor, he would really feel a little uncomfortable to give us a lot of lectures on the way of ghosts and gods.

Ma Di looked around, there were only the seven of us here, and the magical ghost shadows on the wall.

The other visions we were worried about didn't happen either.

Ma Su cleared his throat and said, "The exquisite bone with nine apertures I told you about was also something I came into contact with more than ten years ago. At that time, I took my students on a field trip and found a small tomb. Several skulls were found in that tomb, and one of those skulls was Jiuqiao. After asking after I came back, I found out that this kind of skull is called Jiuqiao Linglong bone. Learn more about this kind of bone. Later, I learned a legend about this exquisite bone with nine apertures..."

"What legend? Old Ma, get to the point." I reminded Ma Di, because I was afraid that he would change the subject again, and he would not be able to finish talking for a long time.

Ma Di understood what I meant this time, nodded and said, "Actually, the legend is very simple, it can be summed up in one sentence. It is said that the exquisite bone with nine orifices can gather souls."

"Soul Gathering? What do you mean?" I was a little puzzled and asked.

"That is to say, once the nine orifices are opened, it will have the function of gathering souls. Each orifice can gather one soul, and the nine orifices can naturally gather nine souls. You think, in a person's brain, he pretends to be If the thinking and ability of the nine people are mastered, it will be difficult for this person to become a master. This is why people who have opened up the nine orifices are often smarter and smarter than ordinary people. Of course, I still say that, My theory is completely obtained from some unorthodox sources. It only represents those small magazines that are not in the mainstream, and does not represent scientific judgment."

No matter where Lao Ma got his theory from, there is a feeling that makes my eyes shine.At least from here I realized something new.

Pang Dahai pointed to the shadows on the wall, and then asked: "Old horse, what does this nine-orifice bone have to do with this shadow?"

"It's very simple. These shadows come from the bones of the nine orifices. In other words, if what I said is correct, here, here, and here..." Ma Su pointed to the lamp and said: "Someone must have died here. The body is not here, but the soul is here. And the person who died must be Jiuqiaogu."

"Old Ma, do you mean that these shadows are all the souls in the bones?" I finally understood what Ma Di meant.

Ma Di nodded: "You are from the Xuanxuan sect. You should know that there is only one possibility for this kind of rootless shadow. It is a manifestation of the soul in Yangjian. You can count and see how many shadows there are on the wall." ?”

Pang Dahai answered, "I just counted, it's eight."

I thought about it along this line of thought, and said, "That's right. It seems that the legend that the nine-orifice bone can absorb souls is true, and the nine-orifice bone can accommodate nine souls. Of course, there is one of my original souls. The so-called nine orifices gather the nine souls. After a person dies, his own soul is reincarnated naturally, and the remaining eight souls, because they have no body, can only continue to stay in the world. And I think there must be something here, which is specially Designed for Jiuqiaogu, it can provide a comfortable environment for Jiuqiaogu. I think Er Zhuang came here inexplicably after his death, which may be related to this."

Pang Dahai said: "Boss, look carefully, there are not only shadows on this wall on this wall. Those lamp discs, there are figures beside each lamp disc. And I just saw that those figures are also The overlapping of multiple figures, does this mean that there were people who died there too?"

Chapter 1038 People from the Qing Dynasty

I nodded: "According to the legend of the Jiuqiaogu told by the old horse, it should be like this."

Qu Kangcheng didn't say much all the time, and suddenly said: "So, there should be a lot of people with nine-hole bones in this underground palace. Why are there so many nine-hole bones? The reason for the mysterious underground palace?"

None of us spoke, because none of us could answer Qu Kangcheng's question.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the underground palace, that is, at the end of this passage.

Because this place is in the underground palace, the environment is originally very quiet, except for the breathing of a few of us, other sounds are almost inaudible.

Therefore, as soon as the strange sound came out, even though it was not very loud, we were very sensitive to sound, and we all heard it soon.

We all turned our heads at the same time, staring nervously at the far end of the passage.

The passage is slanted downward, and we can't actually see all of the passage.Liang Yue's flashlight shines on the horizontal line between the passage and our line of sight.

It may be that in this underground palace, the speed and form of sound propagation are somewhat different from the outside world.When the voice came, it seemed to be one by one.Makes you sound a little unreal.

My first thought was whether the sound came from the little mason.

Because the little mason has never come out since he entered the Yu'an Gate.If he is still alive, nine out of ten he is still in this underground palace.

Counting the time back and forth, it has been three days.

Is this voice Little Mason?

I had this question, and paid special attention to that voice.

Although the sound was intermittent, it always existed.

"Duk...duk...duk..."
