Chapter 16: The Three Deadly Heavenly Coffins
Liu Jiadian brigade, is the largest brigade in the playground river commune, registered labor force of more than 200 people, this time digging brick kiln is a big project, all of a sudden used forty percent of the labor force to participate in the results of a not left all lie down, the entire brigade is on edge, basically all production plans are suspended, are waiting for further instructions from the higher-ups.
Walking to the entrance of the village, Zhang Guozhong secretly came to the ear of Captain Liu: "Just say that my master is an old Chinese doctor invited, okay?"
"Medium! In! You two can come, is my old Liu family's benefactor, my village's benefactor, say is my own father all in!" ...
At this time, the city's laboratory results have also been sent, the patient's body samples of the living body without any suspicious germs, samples have been sent to Beijing for further testing, to the current equipment conditions in Tianjin, can only be concluded that the "unknown disease" conclusion.
The medical team from the city, let the villagers with a simple fence not far outside the village surrounded a circle, even if it is a quarantine zone, surrounded by the militia on guard, unless until the appraisal of the results of the higher-ups to determine that it is not an infectious disease can be lifted the quarantine, until then all people are allowed to come in and not allowed to go out.
Sitting in front of those grimacing sick people, Ma Zhenren frowned.
"Master, is it a disease?"
Ma Zhenren shook his head.
"Then what is it from?"
Ma Zhenren continued to shake his head, Zhang Guozhong was also confused, could it be that there are other things in this world besides Da Xian Li Ghosts and bacteria?
"Captain Liu, take us to see that tomb..." at this point, the crux of the matter was no longer the patient, but that ancient tomb.
At night, Ma Zhenren and Zhang Guozhong were led out of the fence from the other side of the quarantine zone by Captain Liu (the militia watching the quarantine zone started to refuse to let them through, and Captain Liu's two big slaps hit the young guy's eyes, so he obediently let them through without saying a word). Sneak to the side of the tomb.
The size of the tomb is not large, the tomb well is only 5 steps square, there are two tomb passages, have been dug in a mess, it seems to be a husband and wife burial tomb, or buried two people, one of the tomb passages is more unique, inside the sitting coffin, that is, people are buried in a sitting position coffin.
"Follow me, don't touch anything!" Ma Zhenren and Zhang Guozhong went down to the tomb passage, first used a kerosene lamp to illuminate the ordinary coffin, as if there was nothing strange, after that, they came to the sitting coffin, and used the lamp to illuminate it, only to see a line engraved on the sitting coffin: sitting on the Heavenly Coffin, would rather not be eternal.
Seeing this line of words, Ma Zhenren hastily backed up several steps, almost leaning against the cliff of the tomb well. "This is a descending tomb, hurry up!!!"
A descending tomb was a tomb that had cast a descending spell.
As soon as Zhang Guozhong heard this, sweat broke out on his head, descending magic is what the common people often refer to as "headfall". This is something that is documented in the Maoshan Art Journal.
Descending art originated in the end of the Song Dynasty, is a use of yin and yang five elements of the special power, mutilation of the trigger of a certain condition of the living soul of the spell, such as some of the later generations of Japanese sorcery, with a hair of a straw man will be able to cause death, will be evolved from the descending art.
The earliest descending art evolved from the Maoshan art, which was invented by a man named Luo Youchang, who used to be a disciple of the Maoshan Sect at that time, but was expelled from the sect after his legs were broken due to unauthorized use of the Maoshan magic spells for personal gain or revenge for grudges by the then head of the Maoshan Sect, Mr. Lu Xiangling, who was a true Buddhist monk.
Luo Youchang was expelled from the master, not only do not think of repentance, but full of resentment, and then transfer this resentment to all people, simply give up on the Maoshan art of research, began to concentrate on the Maoshan art of certain spells research easy to harm people's skills, and widely accepted by the heart of the wrong disciples, to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Luo Youchang set up their own "descending teachings", descending the name of the art thus The name of "Descending Sect" was thus spread.
The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty that lacked confidence in its rule, and it tried every possible means to prevent rebellions in the Central Plains, among which, the art of descending was the spell used by the Yuan government to suppress rebellious sentiments. Legend has it that Yuan Renzong Aiyuri Bali Bada, once recruited hundreds of descending masters in various state capitals, set up "descending platforms" hundreds of seats, with the "wind ear" of the art of listening to eavesdropping on the grievances of the people, were listening to the people to fester around the end of the time, the people around the world even talked about descending to the point of fear, the folk song "Qingyangqu", which is a song of the people, "Qingyangqu". The folk ballad "Qingyangqu" once wrote: "The street pavilion has no intention to talk about the affairs of the dynasty, and the tragic death of the moon dew house in three nights." The meaning is that if you unintentionally speak against the court in the daytime, you will die miserably at night in a broken house with leaking winds. Because of the support of the ruling class, the art of descending was developed unprecedentedly in the Yuan Dynasty, and a "descending master" who utilized the art of descending well could earn a monthly salary of 35 taels of silver, which was an absolutely high income at that time.
However, not everyone can use the descending art as pure as fire, descending art is a kind of heavenly spell, each casting a descending, will be folded life once, most of the descending teacher is no more than forty years old will die without disease, and ultimately led to the descending art of the loss of tradition, to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the real sense of the descending teacher has been very few, out of the psychology of man's death by wealth, no ten thousand pieces of silver easily is not to take the plunge, but even if it has been the descending art of the decline of the era, just some of the beginning of the art of descending But even in the era of the decline of descending arts, some entry-level descending arts are enough to torture a normal person to death.
Ma Zhenren sat on the edge of the tomb and pondered for a long time, his expression as stiff as a statue. Zhang Guozhong also didn't dare to speak for fear of interrupting his master's thinking. "Sir, is my son still saved?" "Hush! Don't speak, my master is thinking..."
"I said how the yellow flag pole is folded..." muttered Ma Zhenren, "Is there a map?" Ma Zhenren looked at Captain Liu.
"What map?" Any words from Ma Zhenren were Captain Liu's saving grace at the moment.
"Just a map of this place, the more detailed the better."
"There! There is! I'll have someone find it for you right now!" Said Captain Liu and trotted back to the side of the quarantine zone, after a few big slaps, a militiaman obediently trotted back to the village.
After about two bags of cigarettes, a militia boy with a gun on his back came with a map of Tianjin as if it had been bombed by airplanes, freshly uncovered from the wall of the brigade headquarters, with wallpaper hanging from the four corners.
The map is spread on the ground, through the oil lamp, Ma Zhenren found the location of the Ming Dynasty that Zhao Le tomb and the location of this descending tomb in front of the eye bar, with a tobacco pipe than the distance, and the two tombs as two fixed points, the left and right each identified an equilateral triangle, with soot crushed two pieces of black in the left and right at the apex of the two triangles.
"Captain Liu, you lead people to this place." Ma Zhenren pointed to the soot on the left, "Look for me in a three-mile radius, come and tell me if you find a tombstone or a grave mound sub, don't ever move on your own, I'll go this way with my apprentice to look for it, you send a few people to follow me."
"En, center!"
"Also, if there is really none tell me, even if there is something that looks like a grave mound sub tell me, remember, you must not dig yourself!"
"Yes!"
The next day, the village's remaining laborers one by one all arrived, Captain Liu and Ma Zhenren master and disciple soldiers divided into two roads, each to the map Ma Zhenren marked out the two triangular apexes set off.
Zhang Guozhong learned that, although the descending art originated from the Maoshan art, but there is a set of relatively independent theories, there is also a tomb bureau, the Maoshan art of the tomb bureau function is mostly to prevent the dead souls do not exist, to prevent necrophilia, or confinement of the souls of the wrongdoers to prevent them from endangering the townships of the main, and descending art of the tomb bureau function is only one, that is, burglary prevention. Now this tomb bureau, in fact, is the descending art of the Three Deadly Bureaus, the so-called Three Deadly Bureaus, that is, by the three graves together constitute the tomb bureau, there are two coffins in each tomb, one of them puts the real owner of the tomb, known as the "Heavenly Coffin"; one of them is to put the living into the sitting coffins, buried next to the main coffins, known as the "Sitting Fury". This is called the "Sitting Fury", which guards the tomb with this kind of grievances. In the descending art, "black cloud, red fire, clear water" is the theoretical basis for casting spells, which is equivalent to "gold, wood, water, fire, earth" in the Maoshan art or the Yi art, and the one dug up by the brigade of Liu Jiayi store at the moment is the "black cloud" in this three-bane bureau. Bureau", the villagers in the natural is "black cloud descending". That buried Zhao Le's fire blazing bureau, is descending in the "red fire bureau", another "clear water" bureau, certainly with the first two graves bureau to equilateral triangle arrangement constitute a complete three deadly bureau, but as for the three deadly bureau of how to cast, with what principle to play a role in the effect, even Ma Zhenren is not very good at it. Even Ma Zhenren is not very clear, after all, Ma Zhenren is not much in-depth study of this kind of evil way.
Zhao Le's tomb, it is likely that there are also two coffins, think here, Zhang Guozhong naturally understand, the original Ming Dynasty, the Feng Shui Mr. Liu Chongde, is the descendant of the art of Feng Shui Mr. identity is just a front.
