Chapter 21: The Iron Box
Zhang Guoyi and Auntie Chen looked at each other a wide-eyed, especially Auntie Chen, as the wife has not said a word, in front of this old song two are climbing relatives, seems to be quite close.
It turns out that this old Liu head is the first disciple Ma Zhenren received forty years ago, always feel good about themselves, and accustomed to the days of the young master, really can not stand the Taoist temple in the tea and rice, less than ten years, they said with the master to get out of the division, Ma Zhenren did not stop him, but honestly, this does not contend that the apprentice learned a half-bottle of vinegar will be bugging out, but also engage in the master is very unhappy, although the old Liu head always come back to the horse and the real people! Set close, but Ma Zhenren never took a positive look at him, day long, this old Liu simply do not come, Ma Zhenren as confiscated this disciple, although the two did not tear his face, but there is nothing to come and go.
And at this moment the old Liu head can be said to be the future is bleak, 20 years of imprisonment, which has been 60 years old Liu head is too much, it is difficult to die in prison? At this time, Zhang Guozhong this suddenly appeared brother, but also brought Zhang Guoyi so call the head of the Red Guards, obviously became the old Liu head of the straw, is not just a broken knife, than the pocket out of the bottom of the old man better...
According to the instructions of the old Liu head, Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Guoyi came to a deserted grave in the eastern suburbs overnight, and dug up a large coffin. Lift the lid of the coffin, full of antique treasures simply stunned Zhang Guozhong, I can't imagine their master that callow master actually received such a wealthy disciple, this coffin of antiques and paintings at that time, if you get overseas, for a European manor is not much of a problem, but on a Tang Yin's "mythical beasts to avoid the evil," is priceless, according to the ancient records, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the officials below the fourth grade is not eligible to hang! This painting. In addition, there were some blue and white porcelain vases from the Song Dynasty as well as a jade seated statue that looked like it was from the Tang Dynasty.
By the light of the moon, Zhang Guozhong quickly found a dagger about 7 inches long, according to the old head of Liu's statement, Zhang Guozhong this time can be counted on, this dagger is called "Dragon Scale", is when the old man Liu Ziwei young run the canal when spending five taels of silver to buy from the hands of a grave robber, at that time is to see that the size of this dagger and sharp, to bring on the body for self-defense, and later on, the old man Liu Ziwei young run the canal, spend five silver from a grave robber, then is to see this dagger size and sharp. Take on the body for self-defense, and then go to Beijing, to Rongbaozhai framing to the Beilei master gift, framing Wang Laozi looked at this dagger praised, said it is a good first-class goods, Liu Ziwei this will be the dagger collection, and then the dagger passed to the old Liu head hand, but also to ask is the cultural relics bureau of the experts to appraise said that the dagger is the legend of the ancient Chinese blade "Dragon Scale".
According to the "canonical" records: this "dragon scale" is the Wei Prince Pi Zuo casting, do not know ever stabbed which warrior, according to the old Liu head observation, this dagger on the entanglement of grievances to be far greater than the meat factory those who slaughtered thousands of students of the day to kill the knife (livestock also have grievances, but to be far less than the people), inserted in the ground and even the ants are to play outside the three-foot around go! If not for the old man Liu himself know Maoshan art, the next person to hear this description dare to collect only strange.
Listen to the old Liu head half blowing half true description, it seems to be the entire Tianjin City, the only guy can descend the tomb, this dagger if not, I'm afraid that we have to go to look for the year Bao Gong with a tiger-head guillotine.
Fill back the coffin, build a good grave, Zhang Guoyi scared legs and stomach cramps, for the first time in the middle of the night to the cemetery such a ghostly place, even if it is usually seven disobedient eight wrathful rogue head, but also inevitably afraid.
After instructing his brother to take care of the old Liu head, Zhang Guozhong jogged back to the village in the night.
Ma Zhenren looked at the dagger, but also love, this Ma Zhenren is a martial arts practitioner, on the famous weapon treasure blade is naturally love and cherish as life, "you a small bastard, which whole?"
"Master, I ran into my brother, this is what he gave..."
"Oh? That no good... where is the scenery now?"
"Elder brother... he is squatting in jail..." Zhang Guozhong then told the story of how he sought his brother's help and how he bumped into Old Liu Tou and how he got the dagger.
Hear the disciple squatting in prison, Ma Zhenren looks quite uncomfortable, taught squatting disciple, master face is naturally dishonorable, in fact, if he himself is not to let Captain Li deadbeat from the playground river brigade to come over, and squatting in prison is also about the same...
"What offense ah? Won't be shot, right?"
"Selling cultural relics, seems to be quite heavy, but not to be shot, I have already asked my brother to help move..."
"Selling cultural relics..." Ma Zhenren laughed bitterly, in this messy year, even if there are really cultural relics on hand, where to dump them...
Have a handy guy, Ma Zhenren bottom will be enough, the Ming Dynasty that Liu Chongde is at best the last generation of the descendant of the art of descending, Taoism and the Yuan Dynasty and any descendant of the masters are not comparable to the situation can be seen from the Black Cloud Bureau and the Qing Shui Bureau, this Liu Chongde simply do not have their own whole the Three Deadly Bureaus of the ability to rely on the original tomb reconstruction, and Zhang Guozhong left the past two days, Ma Zhenren is in the Zhao Le that tomb around and around, Ma Zhenren feel that if Liu Chongde is the only one who can do the job, he can not be able to do the job. Ma Zhenren thinks that if Liu Chongde does not have the ability to make the Three Deadly Sites, then this tomb is probably just a single site, if it is a single site, after all, there is a "vein eye".
Surrender tomb "single bureau", and maoshan religion tomb bureau is almost the same, have to talk about "pulse eye", here the pulse eye and the seven passes in the pulse eye is not quite the same, in the descending art, if it is the many fury bureau, then the use of many tombs of the grievances to guard each of these tombs, a little The meaning of "one party in trouble, eight parties to support", that is to say, Ma Zhenren in the Qing Shui Bureau to break, is the full power of all the fragments of the descending. Zhao Le's tomb not only has a layer of the Many Deadly Sinkings, but also has a Single Sinking, which is the sinking applied on the tomb alone. If the sinking is applied on a single tomb, the power must come from the surrounding of the tomb rather than the tomb itself.
Most of the single descents in a tomb use the power of animals, and the power of these animals is found in the veins around the tomb.
The so-called animal power is nothing more than the Yellow Fairy, Fox Fairy, hedgehog, snakes, and in some cases, rabbits and tortoises, depending on the environment around the tomb. Generally speaking, snakes and tortoises are mostly used, especially snakes, as snakes have the characteristic of being dormant, and generally speaking, if the art is properly applied, the snakes guarding the tombs can live for nearly 1,000 years.
Repair this kind of tomb, need the maoshan art and descending both sides of the spell to match, first of all, require the maoshan art of the spell caster to capture some of the slight cultivation of livestock, that is, in the countryside have the ability to make waves of livestock, and then by the descending masters of the spell, the livestock will be confined in a special area is also when the tomb around the vein around the eye, these have cultivated the body of the livestock of the immortals are quite a long life, to the snake as an example, but where the ability of the ten-mile intervals The snakes that have the ability to borrow the body of a human being, have lived for at least eighty years, according to the records of the Maoshan art, Maoshan successive generations of heir to the longest life expectancy of the animal record is 1,600 years, and its grudges of the qi of non-borrowed yang can not be restrained, the animals to achieve this kind of life expectancy, scientifically it is not possible to say, but according to the records of the Maoshan art, it is a real existence. If this tomb is really supported by the emperor, in the national search for powerful cultivation animal, then this single tomb of descending magic power, perhaps with the previous Three Deadly Bureaus is also a fight.
If it was a two-handed half-immortal, he might try to find a way to fight this descending art on the tomb, but Ma Zhenren was Ma Zhenren after all, and finding the descending tomb's vein eye to break it individually was much safer than digging the tomb directly. The animal's hole is on the vein eye, every clean up, the power of the tomb will be weakened a layer, until disappeared, and at this time the caster has to deal with the power of the animal itself, and will not touch half of the descending magic.
A group of villagers holding shovels and pickaxes, followed by Ma Zhenren and Zhang Guozhong, the momentum straight to the east of the graveyard of a piece of messy grass, Ma Zhenren also set up a formation to test the ability of these animals, yellow flag pole waved twice, basically can cope with it, it seems that time is really scary things, even if these animals in the Ming Dynasty may be from all over the country to get a powerful role, but after several hundred years of being confined by descending the long suffering, the resentment of the gas has obviously been more than the descending magic! , the aura of resentment had obviously weakened quite a bit from when Zhao Le was first buried.
In the chaos of a low-lying grassland, the villagers a carpet digging, not an incense stick time will find a two-foot square large iron cabinet, Ma Zhenren waved his hand, the villagers back, Ma Zhenren personally holding the "Dragon Scale" dagger in front of the heel, Zhang Guozhong went up to a pickaxe on the smash has been corroded badly chain, lift the cabinet, Ma Zhenren haha! A smile, only to see the cabinet there is a mess of snake bones, the box stinks, it turns out that the snake in the long years has died.
On the top of the box, Ma Zhenren is also the first time to see the "condensation of miasma talisman" (descending art in the application of talisman, but the role and the Maoshan art is completely different, this condensation of miasma talisman is specialized in cohesion of the grievances of the gas of the talisman is this talisman of the snake's grudges into the tomb of the power of the power of the descending tomb, that is to say, the destruction of the talisman, the chakra eye even if the broken, the power of the descending tomb of a layer of weakness. (In other words, if you destroy this talisman, this chakra will be broken, and the power of descending to the tomb will be weakened, and even if the snake is still alive, it will have nothing to do with the tomb.)" Perhaps for the sake of antiseptic, this talisman was drawn on a ripe cowhide, and sealed with wax.
Successively opened six veins, in addition to a dying nearly half-dead big vegetable snake, was Ma Zhenren with a dagger to cut off the head, basically did not touch any obstacles, this time, even Ma Zhenren himself is false, this kind of fragile defenses, Li Erdan how to dig up two shovels on this virtue? Eyes dug out the seventh large iron box, said also strange, this seventh iron box was dug out, all the villagers, including Ma Zhenren's ears seem to buzzing, somewhat similar to tinnitus, the sound seems to be not from the outside world, but from their own ears.
