According to the current situation, after excluding all other possibilities...then, there is a living thing in the coffin, this is the only possibility!
But even according to the definition of human beings in Xuanmen, corpses and ghosts definitely cannot be counted as living things.
"Could it be that there are some mountain spirits and wild monsters kept in this coffin? The god that possessed your classmate came out of this coffin?"
Yuan Fei pinched his chin, thoughtfully.
This is not impossible!
After all, although Qian Shenxian is evil and can possess the upper body, it is indeed a living creature.
"Stop guessing. Since the grave has been dug and the coffin is right in front of you, won't you know if you open it and take a look?"
Lao Cao thought for a while and finally decided to open the coffin.
Yuan Fei and I naturally support this decision.
Professional people do professional things, and it is naturally the most reliable thing to leave the coffin to Lao Cao!
He reached out and touched the head of the coffin, and then lightly patted the end of the coffin. After confirming that there was no problem, he directly inserted a shovel into the gap between the coffin lid and the body and pried it hard.
Crunch…
The coffin is open!
Lao Cao quickly took a few steps back and stood next to me and Yuan Fei. The three of us looked into the coffin warily.
I saw a skeleton and white bones inside that had long since decayed. It was probably the original owner of the tomb, and it was ordinary.
But what's surprising is that a strange plant grows inside the skull's head!
The plant is about a foot tall, with a straight green main rhizome about the thickness of a thumb. It is mixed with golden lines, which is beautiful.
And at the top, there is a flower as big as the mouth of a bowl!
The flower has three petals, and each petal is a different color—red, white, and black!
It looks extremely beautiful and weird.
Anyone who takes a look at such a plant knows that it is extraordinary.
Yuan Fei's eyes widened and he murmured to himself: "It turns out... someone changed the Feng Shui pattern here, set up a formation, and raised a coffin to absorb the energy of a hundred tombs. In fact, it was to cultivate this plant in the coffin. Exotic plants.”
I also suddenly realized why there are little spirits like "Qian Shenxian" in this graveyard. It's very simple, I was attracted by this strange plant!
According to folklore since ancient times, some rare treasures will secretly attract some mountain spirits and wild monsters to live nearby. This may be regarded as a disguised form of protection.
So the result is very clear. The "dry god" was attracted by the strange plants in the coffin and came here from the more remote mountains and old forests.
Wang Dachun and Zhao Zheng made a bet that they came here to hang out at night, but they just happened to bump into it... It was a typical lying gun.
But after figuring out this problem, a bigger mystery surfaced!
I asked, staring at the three-color strange flower in the coffin.
"Old Cao, Uncle Yuan, what kind of plant is this? Do you two know each other? Also, who is the person behind the scenes who has spent so much effort cultivating this thing?"
However, they both smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Lao Cao said: "Xiao Wu, it's obvious that we can't give you answers to these two questions."
Yuan Fei also nodded: "Yes! This is the first time I have seen this kind of plant. I have never even heard of it in classics and rumors. As for who did it... Such methods, Lianghe There should be no such powerful people in the town, several nearby towns, or even in the county. Right, Master Cao?"
He and Lao Cao are both well-known in this area, so they naturally have contact with this Taoist circle.
In this case, it seems that this mystery is difficult to solve for the time being...
Lao Cao added: "No matter what, this thing must not be left here. After all, seeing that the person behind the scenes is using the tomb to do things, he is obviously not a good person. Of course, the results he made must also be taken away."
good!
Yuan Fei and I have no objections, and we think we can let Lao Cao take care of it.
Lao Cao and I must have taken the lead in this matter. Yuan Fei just happened to be passing by and came to take a look. But since I am relatively young and weak, giving it to Lao Cao is the right choice.
But unexpectedly, he did not agree. Instead, he looked at me and said.
"The origin of this thing is unknown. I don't even know what it is. If you keep it around, it might cause trouble! Why don't you take it back, Xiao Wu, and give it to Qin Xiangu. She is well-informed and has great magical powers. She must know these three things. What is the strange flower?"
Well……
is this okay?
I said hesitantly: "What if this thing is a treasure? Didn't you miss it, Old Cao? My master took advantage of it."
Hahaha!
He smiled and said: "What good can be done with things raised from dead people's graves? What's more, even if it is a real treasure, I don't even know what it is, so there is no use keeping it. Stop talking, take it back to the fairy!" "
Once Lao Cao made the final decision, I no longer objected.
Next, he asked me to go down the mountain to the supermarket at the end of the Two Rivers Bridge to buy a big sack. Together with Yuan Fei, he carefully took out this strange three-color flower from the skull...
The specific process, because I went to buy sacks, I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
Anyway, by the time I ran back to the grave hill with the sack at a speed as if a mad dog was chasing me, they both had already buried the thin-skinned coffin back.
The three-color strange flower was held in Lao Cao's hand. He studied it carefully and determined that it had no negative effects such as poisonousness or hallucination.
Then I put it in my big sack and tied the mouth with a rope to prevent it from accidentally falling out when I got home. That’s too ridiculous!
Lao Cao patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, Xiao Wu. You can take it back and let Fairy Aunt help you take a look. Just come back next Monday and tell me what it is. I'm just curious."
"And I!"
Yuan Fei also quickly echoed: "I will come again next week, specifically to the coffin shop to listen."
no problem!
I agreed immediately.
Then he smiled again: "Old Cao, Uncle Yuan, you think... the person behind the scenes, if he knew that the three-color strange flower he had worked so hard to cultivate was gone, would he faint from anger?"
…
Ten minutes later, I was carrying my schoolbag and a sack in my hand. Set foot on the road home.
Originally, Lao Cao was a little worried, wondering if the other party would feel something if we dug up this strange flower? I came out halfway to find trouble or something, and planned to take me back to Wujia Village in person.
I still declined.
It was only around four in the afternoon and the sun was high in the sky. If I walk faster, I can get home before the sun goes down. In broad daylight, there won't be any accidents.
So what if the person behind the scenes comes out?
In broad daylight, most of the harmful spells are difficult to perform, so we have to fight head-on! Am I still afraid of him?
Moreover, it was troublesome for Lao Cao to send me back and forth like this, and it made me feel bad.
The result was indeed as I expected. I carried the big bag and the three-color strange flowers back to Wujiacun smoothly.
As usual, I ran back home yelling "Mom, Dad, I'm back" and threw the schoolbag on my back. I greeted my parents with a smile, and then rushed to Master's house again...
"Master, Master!"
"Well, I'm not deaf yet. Ah Zhong, you don't have to shout so loudly. Just open the door and come in."
I rushed into the main room excitedly and saw Master sitting at the table pouring tea.
I sniffed.
"It smells so good, Master! What kind of tea is this?"
A smile appeared on her beautiful face, she didn't say anything, she just pointed and asked me to have a drink too.
I picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Immediately, I felt a warmth flowing down my stomach, which was very comfortable. Moreover, this warm current turned into a rush to Dantian and merged with my "Qi" which was not much in the first place.
I was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Master, this tea..."
She nodded: "It's a good thing, it can help you lay a solid foundation. But I don't have much left, and you have just started, so you can't drink too much. Otherwise, relying too much on external things will hinder your growth."
Uh-huh!
I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then opened the linen bag, took out the three-color strange flower inside, and placed it on the table.
Before she could speak, she spoke first.
"Huh? This is... golden thread Youtan. Where did you get it?"
There was also a hint of surprise in his tone.
Golden Thread Youtan?
I was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Master, you really know me! No wonder Lao Cao admires you so much. Master, let me tell you, this week, I personally used magic to kill an evil spirit!"
So, I made a bet between Wang Dachun and Wang Dachun by going to the graveyard at night and provoking the god Qian. After I helped him solve the problem, I told Lao Cao and Yuan Fei about the situation in the graveyard in detail.
After the master heard this, he laughed and clapped his hands: "The person who worked hard to change the feng shui bureau of the tomb mountain and set up formations to cultivate this golden thread. When he went to check tonight, he found that the bamboo basket failed to draw water. Are you afraid that you will faint from anger?"
Her smile was like spring breeze and rain, and it almost stunned me.
I quickly coughed twice, lowered my head to cover up my embarrassment, and asked quickly.
"Then Master, what is the origin of this golden thread Youtan? And what is its use? From what you say, it should be an extremely precious thing."
"Yes, it is indeed very precious!"
Master nodded and explained to me in detail the situation of this strange plant, Golden Thread Youtan...
It turns out that the body of Jinxian Youtan is a red fire Xiangtan flower.
The flowers of this flower are as big as the mouth of a bowl and are divided into three petals, all of which are red in color, like burning flames. It generally grows in lonely places with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and inaccessible places.
Both the "Zhai Jing" and the "Burial Jing" mention that the so-called Guyang Land is a bare and treeless land with low surroundings and high and raised areas within a small area.
Although this kind of terrain feels like standing out from the crowd, it cannot hide the wind and gather energy because there are no barriers around it. If there is no water source around, it means that the Yang Qi is too strong and becomes a "fire evil"!
Therefore it is called the Land of Guyang.
And plants like Red Fire Xiangtan grow in the crevices of rocks in this Feng Shui terrain. It is more precious in itself.
The juice from the rhizome can cure physical weakness and various serious injuries, while the flowers can ward off evil spirits!
Even ordinary people with no magic skills, holding this flower, can use the flower to hurt evil things - weaker ghosts and the like will be stunned if they are touched by this red flower.
Grinding the flowers into powder and adding it to the ink used to draw the talisman can add the power of fire to the talisman.
If you go one step further, carefully pull out the red fire incense, transplant it and plant it in a very yin place, so as to guide the yin energy to nourish the excessive fire evil energy.
Over time, the harmony of yin and yang can lead to strange changes.
Not only will there be strands of golden threads in the emerald green rhizomes, shining with golden light. Moreover, two of the originally red flowers will gradually turn into black and white.
This is the transformation from the Red Fire Xiangtan to the more precious and rare Golden Thread Youtan!
Speaking of this, the master looked at the golden thread Youtan on the table and raised three white fingers at me: "This strange flower has three main functions!"
