The moonlight was pale and I couldn't see my fingers. Yaowang Mountain has high mountains and deep valleys. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the valley where the deserted village is located looks like a huge dark green disk, which is breathtaking.
There is a dense forest at the bottom of the valley, which stretches continuously to the depths of Yaowang Mountain. There are all kinds of strange sounds in the forest. But at night, the whole village becomes as calm as the sea. It was still raining heavily, and the village was hazy and shrouded in smoke. The climate in the mountains was really unpredictable.
I called Huairu Jin and the others as the front station, and went to the mountains first to get a feel for the situation. I heard from the villagers here that the location of the bride's tomb should be in the Jipoyu area in the back mountain, but no one can tell clearly where it is. Over the past few hundred years, any family that wants to hold a ghost wedding has asked the local tomb. The Taoist priests help and are responsible for inviting the bride, and they take care of everything. Therefore, even if everyone here has had a ghost marriage, they can't explain why.
I originally thought that this matter might be the work of those deceitful Taoist priests, but when I thought about what the Ghost Marquis said, I thought it might not be that simple. I thought: "The people here are really interesting. Each bride takes turns to be the bride." Wife, are you still enjoying this?"
Sissi and Yansheng received the news that the bride's tomb might be near Jipoyu, so they went there to meet me. We looked at each other, but Yansheng didn't have any ideas, so he started to get busy as soon as he got there. Sissi kept muttering: "It's not a good thing to go to the grave in the middle of the night."
"Sister Qianxi, you and the Ghost Marquis have been together for so many years, why are you still afraid of this?"
"Brother Li Rui, you don't know that I have been most afraid of fighting since I was a child, especially at night."
"Hehe." I felt happy and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my brother is here, I will protect you."
"Well, I'm not afraid now that you're here."
Yan Sheng lay on the ground, listened to the ground, and said: "There is a grave below, but... why is it dug so deep?"
"Yansheng, can you tell that there is a tomb below just by listening with your ears?" I asked in surprise.
"This is the long-lost art of listening in Bishanmen." Sissi said, "Brother Yan Sheng is very powerful!"
"Moving the mountain gate? I thought you went to Xiling to steal the army?"
"Hey, it's the same as those who move mountains and unload mountains. They just rely on their ears." Yansheng explained, "It's just that the unloading warriors are more proficient in this skill, and the listening skills of moving mountains are less popular. For thousands of years, The ancestors of various sects all learned each other’s skills, and they were no longer so clearly distinguished.”
"Then are you sure the tomb is down there?"
"I'm sure." Yan Sheng nodded.
I trust him very much. Since he said so, he is probably right. I looked at the mountains here and thought: "It's really strange. Even someone who knows a little bit about Feng Shui can see that a place like Jipoyu is not suitable for burial?"
The topography of Jipoyu is at one end of the valley. The water from the mountains gathers here. The underground soil is rich in water. You can create a puddle without digging dozens of centimeters. The coffin will rot within a few days after being buried here. .
Yan Sheng took out two engineering shovels from his backpack. I watched from the sidelines. They were both familiar with the way to the robbery cave. I really couldn't do much to help, so I could only watch helplessly.
"Dig it!" Sissi shouted from below.
I watched these two people descending into the pit one after another. The tomb is indeed ridiculously deep. According to this depth, it should be a large tomb with deep rammed earth. However, looking at its shape, it is just an ordinary ancient tomb in a deserted village. , there must be something hidden buried so deeply.
The soil layer above does not look like sealing soil. The terrain of Jipoyu is high on one side and low on the other. Half of the tomb chamber is actually embedded in the rock formation. Judging from the age, it is estimated to be the middle Qing Dynasty or possibly later. After all, it is said that this village has been there for hundreds of years. .
The inside of the tomb was in a state of disrepair, and there was mud everywhere. Water splashes when you step on it, which shows how humid this place is.
"Brother Li Rui, look, someone has obviously just been here."
"Yes, it looks like they have put the bride back."
The size of the tomb chamber is limited. There is only one old coffin placed there, which is half a foot deep in the mud. It can be preserved to this day in such a moisture-rich soil layer.
"Li Rui, look at that." Yansheng said.
I used my flashlight to look in the direction Yan Sheng was pointing. After just one glance, I found that the coffin lid was open, with a crack. Sissi stretched out her hand and gestured. This situation should be opened from the inside out.
I became nervous, "Oops, is the ghost bride coming out?"
At this time, there was movement from above, and Huai Rujin arrived with a large group of people. Lord Gui led Daozi and Sister Meng and jumped down directly from above. This strange old man's skills were indeed amazing, and nothing happened when he jumped from such a high height.
"Master Gu, are you here?"
"That thing came out?" Lord Guihou took a look and had an idea.
"yes."
Lord Gui squatted down and looked at the footprints on the ground, "It should be in the tomb."
As he said that, without thinking, he kicked the coffin lid away. I was also shocked at the time. The coffin lid weighed at least a hundred pounds, and the force of this kick was shocking. Sissi on the side snickered and whispered to me: "Master Gu is showing off to Miss Huai and the others. We can't let others look down on us."
"So that's it, this Master Gu really wants to save face."
"This is called knocking the mountain to shake the tiger!" Lord Guihou turned around and looked at me, and said calmly, "She can't leave, she must be inside."
"It's not a big place here. Miss Huai, just stay here and watch the entrance of the cave. I'll take a few young men to search separately!" Lord Ghost Marquis ordered. Huai Rujin didn't object, he just said that he would follow his orders.
Lord Gui led Yansheng and Daozi to the ear room. Fatty Yu insisted on following him to broaden his horizons, but they did not stop him. I followed Sister Meng and Sissi into a side coffin room, which was a small tomb. Nowadays, when buying a house in the city, it is only three bedrooms and one living room. The side coffin room is equivalent to the guest bedroom.
Sister Meng was exploring the way in front, and Sissi kept poking at the corner of my clothes because she was afraid. I really like this little sister, especially when she is scared, she looks particularly masculine.
At this time, Sister Meng said from the front, "Be careful, that thing is here!"
I followed him immediately. At first glance, I was really surprised. I saw a woman in a red dress standing there quietly, with a wind bun exposing her temples, her brows lightly swept, her small cherry mouth slightly red, and two strands of hair brushing her cheeks, adding a bit of seductive charm.
"Nima, is this the ghost bride? She is simply a fairy. No wonder people are rushing from house to house to marry her."
A pair of flexible eyes moved intelligently, her black hair was pulled into a high bun, and her bright red lips were slightly raised. The skin is as smooth as warm jade, as soft as greasy, and as delicate as drops of beauty. The waist is not full, the neckline of the wedding dress is wide, and the breasts are plump, which makes people unable to control themselves.
"Sister Meng, what is this?"
"Me too..." Before Sister Meng could finish her words, the thing pounced over at lightning speed and was in front of her in the blink of an eye.
I didn't even have time to open my eyes, when suddenly there was a flash of cold light, and a figure rushed out from behind me. The ghost bride was so powerful that I was stunned and couldn't react. I only heard a roar and the scene became a mess.
"Master Gu, be careful!" I turned my head subconsciously, and when I heard Qianqian say Master Gu, I realized that Lord Ghost had just appeared in time. Not long after, Lord Ghost came out carrying a strange thing. I breathed a sigh of relief and saw Lord Gui swaggering out, holding a black gold long-handled knife in his hand.
He walked up to me, shook his head and said, "Kid, you are so worthless, how can you be fooled by a cockroach?"
"Hua?" I asked in surprise, "What is this?"
"In ancient times, there was a saying that 'when the summer comes, the earth will show the turtle'. The god of all things is called the turtle. In other words, the turtle is the essence of all things. It is also clearly written in "Shuowen",' "鬬" means "old things are fine", so it must be one of the fine things." Gui Houye explained.
"Jings are creatures with human faces and animal hearts, and they are good at deceiving people with their beauty. They make a living by playing with ancient artifacts and are nourished by the strange atmosphere of the mountains and forests. As for the jingu among them, it has been said since ancient times that it is a ghost that specializes in stealing people's souls and can do a lot of harm to people. It is said that there is this thing in Jianning Mansion, which can suppress people at night and suck their blood."
"Annotations to Oracle Bone Inscriptions" mentions that both spirits and demons have human nature and take on human form. People often call fairies together, thinking they are the same kind, but this is not the case. The essence is also used to make fine things, which is the essence of old things. There are words about gods, ghosts and essences in Chinese art and literature, so it is also common to make fine things. Therefore, the essence is born from ancient artifacts, especially the ghost artifacts in haunted houses. And very different from the demon.
Speaking of essence, we have to talk about another "spirit" that is often called together with it. Spirits and spirits are very close. They both exist for things and will perish when things are destroyed. However, the origin of spirit is different from that of essence. It is transformed by resentment and is actually the last breath of human life. The birth of essence is to absorb the dark energy and nourish people's evil thoughts. Therefore, the good ones in essence can only be picked out from a hundred, and most of them are definitely not good.
"Hey, Master Gu, what is that in your hand?" I noticed the strange thing in his hand early in the morning.
When I asked him, I noticed the look in the eyes of Sister Meng next to me, and smiled subtly, which made people a little confused. I guess she knew what it was.
Lord Gui glanced at me, smiled mysteriously, and said to Sissi: "Sissi, you go out first."
As soon as I thought, "Do you still have to avoid this? What the hell is this thing? I'm getting more and more curious."
"This girl is still too young. Talking to her about this kind of thing can easily upset her temperament, so it's better to avoid it." Lord Ghost said, he picked up the thing in his hand, "This thing is called Mr. Cynomorium Cynomorium, and it's from ancient times. A tool for women to purge their sexual desires.”
"Damn it!" I suddenly understood in my heart, "No wonder I have to ask Sissy to avoid her. She has been doing it for a long time and it is an adult product. It seems that Sister Meng is really well versed in this and she saw it early on."
"This thing can be used by both men and women. Men use it to satisfy themselves... and women obviously use it to soothe the pain of the boudoir."
According to unofficial records, this so-called Mr. Cynomorium Cynomorium has both soft and hard skills. It can be short or long, sometimes automatic, sometimes jumping by itself. When a man uses it, it is like living in symbiosis with the body, it can be big or small; when a woman uses it, she scalds it with hot water and makes it look like a living thing, left or right, up or down.
"You mean that the scorpion was born from this thing?" I asked.
"I guess this thing took a long time to absorb the yin energy and eventually became a ghost bride."
I secretly thought that in the ancient feudal environment, women were already suppressed in terms of their sexuality. Mr. Cynomorium Cynomorium turned into a harem. In the final analysis, it is still a tragedy of history.
