Among the ethnic minority circles in the southwest border area, there has always been a legend about Twelve Cave.
One hundred thousand witchcraft and twelve caves, the twelve caves are hard to find!
There are twelve caves in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and twelve tombs under the twelve caves!
As the most mysterious organization in the Miao region, legends about immortality have always been circulated.
It is said that the people in Raojiang Twelve Cave are all very long-lived people, and the highest ones can live to be more than 200 years old.
The people in the Twelve Cave have a picture of Nuwa in their hands, and they have inherited various wild secrets from ancient times.
Some of these secret techniques are evil, and some are the techniques of those who save soldiers.
Later, after the ancient war and the Jedi Tiantong, the people of Twelve Cave completely lived in seclusion deep in Shiwan Mountain.
It was not until the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty that the first clues were revealed.
Among them, the art of sealing corpses of the Seven Sons is one of the twelve caves!
The so-called Seven Sons Seal the Corpse was first used to transform corpses and suppress them. Peach wood nails made of thunderbolt wood were used to seal the seven meridians and acupuncture points on the human body.
They are: Baihui, Shenting, Dazhui, Daling and Taichong.
Among them, Daling and Taichong represent hands and feet respectively.
This method can trap the person's ghost in the coffin, thus forming an internal cycle that prevents the deceased from reincarnation forever.
It can be said to be an extremely vicious technique.
During the Warring States Period, there was a folk yin-yang magician who obtained this method and claimed that he could use the seven corpse-sealing techniques to transform the corpse of the deceased into an immortal.
If it can be improved and transformed, it is possible!
Regarding this point, the old man Guishou did not explain in detail.
He just told me that the two items they obtained in the white jade box had cipher text on them.
Li Dabao's boss asked someone to decipher it, and it only described the curse events related to the sealing of seven corpses and the beheading of three corpses.
According to legend, during the Warring States Period, some princes from one border area sought out the Yin-Yang sorcerer and asked for advice on the art of sealing corpses from the Seven Sons.
The Yin Yang Warlock was originally a Taoist monk, and he acquired this secret skill by accident.
In order to make himself immortal, the prince used his wife to conduct experiments.
An ancient tomb was built in Shi'en, Hubei for experiments.
The onmyoji sorcerer drove seven nails into the woman's body to seal her seven meridians while she was still alive.
Later, two other coffins were used to bury two people who were related to the woman.
Then it used its unique Taoist evil method to arrange the altar and the blood of animals.
Finally, the entire tomb was sealed, and the energy of heaven and earth was used to open the coffin and retrieve the body within the specified time. Finally, the blood exchange method also came from Twelve Cave to give people a new life.
But halfway through the experiment of this secret technique, the war started, the Qin State came to dominate the world, and no one knew the whereabouts of the unknown tomb of the Warring States Period.
As for the Yin Yang alchemist, he became the subordinate of Xu Fu, the first alchemist in Qin State.
In 219 BC, the alchemist Xu Fu was ordered by Qin Shihuang to lead three thousand boys and girls eastward to Yingzhou in search of the elixir of immortality for the emperor.
The onmyoji sorcerer followed him, but on the way to Yingzhou, the ship the sorcerer was on touched a rock, and sank into the seabed together with the man and the ship.
Here is part of the white jade letter that records the secrets of the strange altar.
It also records some secrets from the past that will never be recorded in any documents!
As for the surname of this alchemist, it is not stated on it, but there is only a Taoist number.
The name is: Qingyi Taoist!
The reason why the old man with ghost hands can become what he is now without any real death is because of another secret method of Twelve Cave.
The altar of soldiers and monsters!
The secret technique of turning a human sacrifice into a killing machine originally evolved from the Seven Sons' evil technique of sealing corpses.
The existence of the ancient Dian Kingdom was supported by Twelve Cave. At that time, they had already used the method of worshiping the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters quite effectively.
It's just that most of them are dead sacrifices. Although the time effect is relatively short, the effect is very obvious.
This is why the ancient Dian Kingdom was able to face several times its own enemies and stand in a stalemate for so long before losing.
The strange altar method obtained by the old man with ghost hands is the most primitive record. No one knows how long it will take to truly escape from the big vat in front of him and survive.
When the old man with ghost hands said this, he paused and said: "Actually, in our Raojiang Village, there are some records that are unique to us. This so-called altar of soldiers, gods and monsters is actually an alternative kind of evil magic."
"The method of sacrificing a living person is the way of heaven. Even though it has its own thoughts, the body is between death and non-death."
"Many emperors in later generations wanted to possess this evil magic and build the strongest immortal army, but they all gave up because they could not find the Twelve Cave."
After learning about the origin of the seven sons’ corpse sealing, I asked: “Then why is this evil method passed down, or inherited through blood?”
The old man with ghost hands explained: "This is because, from the simplest corpse suppression at the beginning, to the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters, and finally to the so-called immortal corpses transformed into immortals, many things have changed their original functions in this long process. ."
"As for why I was cursed, I only have some personal guesses, but maybe you should ask the Taoist in Qingyi who is both good and evil for the real reason!"
As for why they were implicated in the curse, this is what Old Man Guishou and Uncle Yan speculated about.
Originally, the seven sons' evil magic of sealing the corpse nailed the woman to death in the coffin while she was still alive.
But in order to prevent unnecessary transformation of the woman's corpse, an ancient bronze mirror was used under the corpse as a means of protection.
Secondly, in the other two coffins, the Taoist priest in Qingyi used methods unknown to us to assist the sealed female corpse.
In other words, provide nourishment, nutrients, etc. to the female corpse.
It was just that during the process of sealing the corpse, an accident occurred, causing the body of the female corpse to crystallize. This may be what the Taoist in Qingyi wanted.
The so-called accident happened on the other two coffins.
The most important female corpse did not transform into a corpse, but one of the other two completely turned into a monster.
My grandfather was not cursed because he had no direct contact with the monster.
But my father entered the Warring States Tomb for the second time and saw the female corpse. He must have touched it, so he was nailed to the coffin lid by the fleeing monster that was exuding black energy.
But why did my mother show signs like that?
This obviously doesn't make sense!
I asked Guishou again: "But Uncle Yan told me that there is another layer below the Warring States tomb. What is the next layer used for?"
The old man with ghost hands said: "Below is an altar, and the spirit gathering formation arranged by Taoist Taoist Qing Yi absorbs the yin and yang energy of heaven and earth and pours it into it, so as to shorten the transformation time of the female corpse."
"If time passes to exchange blood between the body and the female corpse, then this method should be completed. Of course, these are my guesses. There may be many ways to exchange blood!"
"Then why does the piece of human skin flowing out of the tomb of King Zhao in Handan, Hebei point to the land in the middle of Shu? What about the underground ruins of Shu Yi?"
"Kekeke..."
After I finished asking, the big-headed freak sneered again.
After a while, he said: "Boy Chen, you have so many questions. Do you have a headache? What do you think will happen if I don't tell you?"
"I'm not completely sure about some things, but since you want to know, it's okay to tell them. It's just that some of the truths you think are just the beginning of another secret."
The old man with ghost hands said: "The Shuyi underground ruins should be before the Warring States Period, or even earlier. We guess that the Shuyi tribe should at least have the same history as Twelve Cave."
"And the Kunlun blood jade coffin was the first to contain corpses. Later, the tomb there was robbed, and then the corpses inside were replaced with objects."
"At the same time, the production method of those big-headed blood babies is similar to the sacrifice method of Twelve Cave, but it is not the method of Twelve Cave. It is more like..."
"What is it?" I couldn't wait to know!
But at this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
This thunder could be said to have appeared out of thin air, without even a warning of strong winds.
The dazzling lightning cut through the sky like a sharp sword, illuminating the nearby area extremely white.
Although it only took a moment, the thunder and lightning came so suddenly that none of us were prepared at all.
The big-headed monster baby, who was covered in pitch black, let out a scream and spat out a large mouthful of red and yellow stuff.
Covering his head with both hands, he fell to the ground motionless...!
