The years of reselling the haunted house

"Oh, then you must have seen the ventilation holes on the Jiulongding. That is a special setting. The ventilation holes of the Jiulongding will form a special flow direction after special arrangement. Thus forming an airtight airtight space inside. space, the poisonous gas will not penetrate in. And after the poisonous gas poisons those disciples to death, it will slowly dissipate."

Taoist Shimen briefly explained the principle that the Nine Dragon Cauldron can avoid poisonous gas attack.What he said in many places is also very general, and he probably doesn't understand what the real principle is.

In my opinion, it should use some related principles of gas flow, so that even if the poisonous gas enters, it will flow away with the airflow.Therefore, the interior of Nana Stone Cauldron is relatively safe.

I couldn't help admiring: "This ingeniously designed structure must have been made by Shi Zhengyang. It's a pity for his wonderful hands and exquisite thinking. This is also comparable to that of Lu Ban back then. What's more unexpected is that his design , actually fulfilled the accomplices who killed him and his disciples."

Daoist Shimen said lightly: "Although the hands are good, the hearts of the people need to be kind. In Huang Jiye's view, with the death of Shi Zhengyang, everything is over. Then we can let the king money supplement the dragon energy step by step, and the time limit is up." , sent someone outside to open the underground palace and take away the king's money. Everything came as planned. But in fact it didn't end... After Shi Zhengyang died, he still dominated the dragon energy in the entire underground palace. In this Nine Dragon Cauldron, Even though there are royal descendants and Kowloon guards, the dragon energy collected is far from enough. Because most of the dragon energy has been absorbed by the main hall."

"This should be the consequence of Shi Zhengyang's small changes in many places, right?"

Daoist Shimen said: "Yes. Those small changes he made before, in my opinion, are not big things that can change the entire Feng Shui. But I didn't expect that those small changes he made were all purposeful. After the seal, a lot of outside air was cut off, causing the entire Feng Shui Dragon Qi to tilt towards the main hall of the underground palace on a large scale."

"But at that time, there was already a Nine Dragon Cauldron to replenish the dragon energy, so why build that large main hall and side halls?" This is the question I have been asking all along.

Daoist Shimen explained: "Do you think it's that simple to build an underground palace to replenish dragon energy? The main hall was originally built to enshrine the tablets of royal ancestors and emperors, similar to folk ancestral halls. It's a rule, and no one can change it."

I questioned: "Then since the main hall of the underground palace is the royal tablet enshrined, there is nothing wrong with the dragon energy being transferred there, right?"

The Taoist of Shimen shook his head: "Of course it is no problem for the royal tablets to absorb dragon energy. However, those tablets are also stone carvings, carved by Shi Zhengyang's hands. No one noticed at the time, he also tampered with them. Sigh... Lord Qianlong The arrangement of this matter was a bit inappropriate. Although he arranged for the three of us to supervise each other, the fault was that the other two of us did not understand stone carvings. I didn't expect that small stone carvings could actually evolve The results are different. I have also seen the tablets he engraved, and the engravings on them are indeed the ancestors of the royal family, the emperors. But there are many patterns on the tablets, and I have also checked them. It is definitely not What kind of runes. But I didn't expect that it was a special kind of stone-carved talisman, and I didn't recognize it. Those special stone-carved talismans can play the same role as Taoist talismans. The existence of those talismans and the role they play lead to these tablets Just like a few ordinary stones."

I didn't have much contact with the profession of masonry. To be honest, in the construction industry of modern society, a single kind of construction is no longer popular.There may have been all-wooden and all-stone buildings in ancient times, but now they are all comprehensive buildings.With the improvement of modernization, quarrying and stone making have basically been mechanized, and the single profession of stonemason is rarely heard or mentioned by us.

But after getting in touch with the little mason, including his restoration of the cracked stone statue, I realized that there are so many magical skills that I didn't know existed in the world.It was the first time I really recognized the profession of masonry.

So the Taoist Shimen said that there is a special kind of stone-making rune in the masonry school, and I am not surprised at all.

And the book "Shi Qi Gang Mu" written by Shi Zhengyang must have recorded these special skills.The little mason came here and wanted to find the remaining bibliographies, so one can imagine his eagerness.

The Taoist Shimen went on to tell: "Later, I saw that the dragon's energy was continuously absorbed to the main hall, but I found that after such a turn, the dragon's energy had a tendency to become evil when it reached the main hall. If Qi turns into an evil dragon, the consequences will be very bad. So I decided to use my dying body to sit in the main hall to suppress the evil. Use my own power to suppress the appearance of those evil spirits. This is how my physical body will The reason for appearing in the temple."

I nodded, in fact, I have already thought of these just now.

Chapter 1121 Dao Bone Relic

Taoist Shimen said again: "It's just that Shi Zhengyang's soul lingered after his death. He also made all preparations before his death, and his soul after death also became an evil soul. Hall. Fortunately, I and a group of disciples worked hard to guard the main hall. Only then did he not succeed. Now, with this main hall as the boundary, we have formed a confrontation. He has been attacking me and defending for so many years."

Hearing this, I questioned: "So, I saw a stone chariot, and there..."

Taoist Shimen nodded and said: "That's right, the mummy inside is Shi Zhengyang. Now he can walk anywhere except this main hall. It seems that this place has become his world, and my main hall probably won't be able to hold it." How long."

"I saw the skulls of Taoist priests and stone statues of Taoist priests in the side hall... so what's going on?"

"In fact, they are all people with nine-hole bones that Shi Zhengyang collected before the construction of the underground palace. Because Shi Zhengyang knows a secret, that is, people with nine-hole bones, once they practice Taoism, if they are lucky, they can cultivate a kind of Yuandan. This Zhongyuan Dan can improve people's cultivation and prolong people's life. Later, they were all arranged into the underground palace to participate in the construction. They were the Taoist priests who followed me. In fact, they were all from Shi Zhengyang. It was only after listening to my preaching that they learned I had an epiphany. And Shi Zhengyang carved stone statues for these Taoist priests. When I was called by Huang Jiye, Shi Zhengyang killed these Taoist priests in front of these stone statues. It is said that only in this way can he get Yuandan. But maybe Shi Zhengyang completely Miscalculation, these Taoist priests practiced Taoism the day after tomorrow, and they have no ability to form Yuandan, and after they died, the wandering souls had nowhere to go and were sealed in the underground palace, and now they should be wandering on the bridge."

After some explanations by Taoist Shimen, I basically understood that almost everything here was created by Shi Zhengyang.The current situation is that Shi Zhengyang's soul wants to rush into the main hall, while the Taoist Shimen's soul is leading the Taoist priests to defend the main hall.

So it has been 200 years since Taoist Shimen and Shi Zhengyang both died for 200 years, and now the two people exist in the form of souls.Why is this soul so persistent?

Perhaps seeing my confusion, the Taoist Shimen asked, "Do you know why that little mason asked you to come in and find my body, and take out the beads from the center of my eyebrows?"

After talking so much with Taoist Shimen, I already had an epiphany in my heart, but I still wanted to get a more definite answer, so I nodded and asked, "Could it be that Shi Zhengyang wanted to come in but couldn't, and the little stonemason did it for Help Shi Zhengyang, but he can't achieve it with his own strength, so you want to use my hand to help them achieve some goals?"

Taoist Shimen narrowed his eyes and sighed slightly, obviously this attitude was the default.

At this time, I should also be communicating with Taoist Shimen in the state of a soul, but I didn't feel that I was just a strand of soul from the beginning to the end. This kind of close communication is full of reality.It is no different from our usual conversations between people.

And Taoist Shimen didn't look like a Taoist priest who had been dead for 200 years. Looking at his face, his expression was no different from that of a stranger.

Taoist Shimen sighed, and patted his forehead with his hand.

Ordinarily, I should have heard the sound, but Taoist Shimen slapped himself on the forehead three times in a row, but I didn't hear any sound.

Then Taoist Shimen stretched out his hand, spread out his palm, and asked me: "They want you to take it, but this..."

Only then did I realize that what Taoist Shimen did just now was to take something out from between his eyebrows, and that thing was in his palm.

It's the first time I've seen someone who can take things out of the body like this.But soon I understood that this Shimen Taoist is just a soul, and it is not surprising to have any kind of behavior.

I noticed that the one in his palm was a bead.This bead is the same color as normal skin, it looks plain and without any luster, it is nothing more than meatballs.

"This... this is..." I stared at the meatball, puzzled.

"That's what they've always wanted, and that's the bead that made you come in and try to get it between my eyebrows."

I kept shaking my head: "But... such a bead, what is so precious about it? It seems... nothing."

My words may seem rude, but it is what I really think.

And Taoist Shimen did not change his attitude because of my words, he just handed the bead in the palm of his hand to me again, and said, "Have you heard of Dao bone relics?"

"Dao bone... relic... Taoist priest, do you mean relic?" I asked suspiciously.

I am no stranger to relics.I also knew a little bit about relics before. They are nothing more than a kind of crystal that will appear after some eminent monks have passed away and cremated.Relics are usually crystallized from the merits of eminent monks who practice precepts and wisdom.

And the closest contact with relics was left for us by the old monk Jueming in the Huijie Temple when my third uncle and I were breaking down the attic of the overseas female writer Fei Yao.

At that time, he also left us the Five Emperors Ceremony Buddha Lamp. The relic of Patriarch Jueming is now placed on the Five Emperors Ceremony Buddha Lamp as the head of the Buddha.

Those are the relics left by eminent monks after practicing Buddhism.But I haven't really heard about whether a Taoist priest with a certain level of Taoism can form a relic after becoming a monk after practicing Taoism.

Since I have never heard of it, it must be rare for this to happen.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Shimen suddenly said something called Dao bone relic today. Could it be that what he is holding in his hand is the so-called Dao bone relic?

"Take it and have a look." Taoist Shimen still held the bead and brought it to me.

"Can I...can I take it?" I hesitated, I am just a soul now, can the existence of a soul take things like a normal person?

Although I had doubts, I still reached out and took the ugly bead in my hand.

I took the bead and held it in front of my eyes for a closer look.Unexpectedly, the moment I got it in front of my eyes, there seemed to be something moving inside the bead. I was shocked, thinking that there were some poisonous insects inside again.

Because I broke open the eyebrows of the evil Taoist before, and I picked out a poisonous scorpion inside, who knows what's weird in this bead this time?

I was frightened, and when I shook my hand, the bead slipped from my hand.

Chapter 1122 Ten Generations Successor

Slipping off that meatball is not what I want to do.No matter what this thing is, it is also something that people regard as treasures, so they are so carefully shown to me.It's not that unreasonable, even a bit rude, for me to throw it away as soon as I got it.

I subconsciously reached out to catch it, and it turned out that the meatball really seemed to be alive, falling to the ground like a ping pong ball, and bouncing up again.And it bounced very fast, I was bent over to pick it up, but was bounced by that meaty ball and landed on my forehead.

Seeing that it bounced very fast, it should have hurt my forehead, but who knows, I didn't feel anything special.And after the meat ball bounced to my forehead, I don't know where it bounced again.

I turned around and looked around, but I couldn't find where the Roudandan was.

I looked at Taoist Shimen at a loss, and asked apologetically, "Master Daoist, you have been by the side, did you see where your bead went? I didn't miss it on purpose. There seems to be something alive in that thing." thing..."

And Daoist Shimen looked relaxed, stared at me with a smile, kept nodding, but didn't speak.

I was rather puzzled, I didn't know why this old Taoist was smiling so I hurriedly spread my hands and asked again: "Master Daoist, what do you mean by that smile? I didn't hide your pearl, so you can't blame me if you lose it." .”

Priest Shimen still smiled and nodded frequently: "It's wonderful, it's really a match made in heaven..."

I smiled wryly and said: "What a mess, Taoist priest, how did you use words indiscriminately, how did you come up with a match made in heaven, and no one is getting married here..."

But I looked at this old man smiling and staring at my forehead, and I had a premonition that something might happen.That's where the meatball bounced just now.So I subconsciously touched it with my hand.

Only after I touched it did I understand why the old man kept laughing, because the meaty balls were tightly attached to my forehead at this moment.

I suddenly realized, no wonder I couldn’t find this thing no matter how I searched around, I hurriedly picked it up with my hands, trying to pick off the meaty balls and return them to the old man, who knew that the meaty balls seemed to grow on my forehead. Didn't pick it up twice.I felt something was wrong at this moment.

I said sternly: "Master Dao, what's going on? What is this thing of yours? How did it grow on my forehead?"

Taoist Master Shimen also said with a serious face: "Didn't the poor Taoist say that this is a Taoist bone relic."

"This... this thing is the bone relic? Why is it different from the relics I have seen?"

"It's been said that it is a Tao bone relic, of course it is different from a Buddha bone relic."

"Then this relic is... yours? Then you quickly take it off, what's the matter with it sticking to my forehead?" I was puzzled.

Daoist Shimen shook his head: "It's mine, but now, it's yours."

"Mine? No, no, I don't want this, you should take it back." I shook my head, still wanting to pluck the relic from my forehead.However, I found that the relic seemed to grow stronger and stronger, and it almost merged with my forehead.

"Little benefactor, there is not much time left, and I still have something to say to you. You know, this bone relic is not easy to form, but once it is formed, its magic power is boundless. The reason why I can still guard this main hall is not Being invaded by evil spirits is entirely due to the power of this bone relic. And one of the purposes they want to rush into the main hall is to get this bone relic. And you should be lucky that you got it easily what."

I was still puzzled after hearing Taoist Master Shimen's words, and asked, "Since this thing is so important, then you should keep it. Without it, wouldn't you be unable to defend the main hall?"

"It's okay if you can't keep the main hall, this bone relic is on you now..."

I was taken aback, and turned around a bit: "Wait a minute... Daoist, what do you mean? You mean that if they wanted this relic, they had to rush into the main hall to snatch it. But now you are messing with this thing. It came on me, so their target is me? They have to keep chasing me...fuck you...your trick is a bit weak..."

Shimen Daoist's face was serious: "Oh, now you have accepted Pindao's Taoist bone relic, and you are Pindao's closed disciple. You should share the worries of the teacher. In addition, you should also pay attention to your words, and you must not be rude to the teacher..."

"Teacher...I'm still the commander of the army. What the hell am I becoming your closed disciple? Aren't you buying and selling by force?" I felt more and more incomprehensible.

You have to know those evil spirits, but they are very vicious. They originally aimed for the Taoist bone relic of the Taoist priest of Shimen, but now they know that the relic is on me, so they have to eat me.

But I thought about it again, this is not right, I am just a soul now...

Since it is a soul, then this should be like a dream, can it be taken as real?When I return to the physical body, this matter will not exist.

Thinking of this, my emotions calmed down a little.Simply listen to a story, and then follow this matter and ask further.

"Master Daoist, let's not care whether your story is true or not, tell me about the relic."

Daoist Shimen nodded: "Let me make a long story short. The relics of our Taoist bones are somewhat different from those of Buddha bones. The relics I gave you were not born in my body..."

"It's not yours? How did it get into your body?"

Daoist Shimen further explained: "This relic should be..."

Taoist Master Shimen said this, he broke his fingers and calculated for a while, and said: "It should have been more than 700 years ago. The ancestor of my sect stayed after he became a monk. You must know that it is not easy to obtain the relics of the Taoist sect. Once the relic is acquired, it must be passed on from generation to generation. And the way we pass it on is to drive this relic into the eyebrows of the next generation."

"Brow-center hole? It's eyebrow-center hole again, so your successors must be nine-hole bones?"

Priest Shimen nodded: "That's right, that's right."

I was a little dazed at this point. I heard before that this kind of nine-hole bone is very rare, and there may not necessarily be one person in tens of thousands of people.How come in this underground palace, these nine-apertured bones emerge endlessly, it seems that this underground palace is set up for people with nine-apertured exquisite bones.

Daoist Shimen ignored my question, and continued, "So, this Taoist relic has been passed down to my generation, and it has been passed down for nine generations. To you, it is the tenth generation."

I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard this: "The tenth generation? Daoist, are you serious? I didn't join your sect, so why did you pass it on to me? Besides, I'm not a nine-headed person, you can change someone else." ,what……"

Chapter 1123 Lingxuzi

Taoist Shimen looked at me sideways, and said in an indifferent way: "Who said you are not a nine-orifice bone?"

"Ah? What do you mean?" I felt more and more unbelievable when I heard it: "You mean, I am also a nine-orifice bone? Are you kidding me? I don't know it myself, but you do?"

Taoist Shimen smiled without saying a word.

I was a little confused now, and asked quickly: "Master Dao, what you said can't be true, right? I'm really that nine-holed bone?"

Taoist Shimen said: "Has no one told you before? The bone appearance of the nine-orifice bone is very special, but any ascetic with a little bit of Taoism and experience can see it when he looks closely."

I touched my head, and shook my head: "My third uncle told me before, saying that I have wonderful bones, and that it's a pity that I don't learn Taoism. I should be a Taoist by nature. But he That mouth, a dead person can say it's alive, it can't be taken seriously at all."

The Taoist of Shimen waved his hand: "Whether he sees you or not, it is an indisputable fact that you have the Nine-Aperture Bone. The fact that this Tao bone relic can enter the center of your eyebrows is the best proof. Let's stop arguing about this. Time is running out. Your name... is Li Yang..."

I felt more and more incredible: "How do you know, I never told you my name."

The Taoist of Shimen smiled: "The Taoist school is mysterious, and the foretelling is just one of my humble Taoism. In short, if you worship me as your teacher, you will not be humiliated."

Thinking about it, according to the little mason, this Shimen Taoist was definitely the most powerful existence at that time.Moreover, he can be selected by the emperor, and he can predict events 200 years from now. This ability is indeed beyond the reach of Chu Liuyan and the third uncle.

"That... Taoist priest, let me ask you first, is this bone relic of yours very precious, even if you leave this underground palace, the evil ghosts and gods outside will be jealous of this relic?"

Shimen Taoist nodded: "That is natural. Obtaining this door relic can help them go to bliss, and even return their souls to life."

I quickly waved my hand: "That's it. No matter what you say is true or not, I don't want this thing. You get rid of it quickly. When they take this thing away, won't your thing be lost? I'm doing it for your own good. You'd better find someone else to carry it with you."

"It's too late to think about it now. I'm just a soul now, and I don't have the ability to take it out. If you want to take it out, there is only one way..."

I was taken aback and quickly asked, "What can I do?"

"Before I entered the underground palace, I had one of the most capable disciples, his name was Hao Wanjin. I learned my true biography, and when I entered the underground palace, he would follow me in. I insisted on keeping him outside for the purpose of I want him to inherit my mantle."

"Hao Wanjin? This name... doesn't seem like a Taoist name, so vulgar?"

Taoist Shimen explained: "His family is a wealthy family, and his father also wanted him to inherit the family business, so he gave him such a name. But this person disregarded all the wealth of his family, and came to practice Taoism under my sect. He also has a His Taoist name is Lingxu. People call him Lingxuzi."

"Is there such a person? Then he is really persistent. Why don't you ask me to find him? If you count his age, he must be over 200 years old, right?"

The Taoist of Shimen shook his head: "He will definitely pass on my mantle. You only need to find his disciple, or his disciple's disciple... In short, find someone who inherits his mantle, and then you can take out this relic from your body. Pass it on to themselves or a suitable heir."

I nodded: "Okay, this is also a solution. Where can I find it? You have to give me a clue, right?"

Taoist Shimen shook his head again: "There is no clue. Before I went down to the underground palace, I let Lingxu travel around the world, and I will never return to the Taoist temple. Because I can't guarantee that the royal family will find him."
