The old man paused and continued to explain: "Even if the people of Tangling Village want to see the Kushan Mountain, they must follow the rules of the Soul Palace to see the so-called Kushan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains."
"Rules, what are the rules?"
Song Siyuan looked at Tang Baoguan. This old man was indeed very familiar with the Soul Palace. If they could learn as much as possible about Kushan from his mouth, their chances of entering the Soul Palace would be much greater.
Tang Baoguan considered for a moment, looked at everyone and said: "I remember the old people in the village mentioned that Cave Mountain is hidden in the evil spirit created by thousands of innocent souls. It is visible and intangible. Living people cannot see Cave Mountain at all. Only the dead can." Seeing the cave mountain, if you want to find the cave palace, you must deceive the evil spirit and make the evil spirit think that the person is dead!"
For this reason, people must gather together to sacrifice the six animals!
Use six animals to open the communication channel between ghosts and gods, and find a soul-inducing lamp made of human oil to attract the soul mist.
These people have a fishy smell and will attract many souls to lead the way for the living people, and then let a calf lead them forward in the early morning. Only in this way can they find Cave Mountain.
If you want to go back, you need to find the blood of the phoenix, sprinkle it along the road you are walking, and then find the blood stains when you go back. This kind of blood stains will disappear within a few days. Once it disappears, people want to enter the soul again. Palace, we can only wait for next year.
"Even if we achieve this step, we can barely enter Cave Mountain. As for the traces of the Soul Palace, no one can find it at all. Of course, I don't know about this either."
After what Old Man Tang said, although there were elements of superstition and Shintoism, he had already established with Yue Guanchao and the others that even Cave Mountain was so difficult to enter, so it would only be even more difficult for them to enter the Soul Palace.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything I know, but don't hold me back."
Song Siyuan understood that Tang Baoguan still didn't want them to know the exact location of Cave Mountain. He hid the information representing the location in his words, and only left a note of strange things to everyone. She had an idea, took out the red gold copper slip and handed it to the old man: " Uncle Tang, this is something we found, it’s called a red gold copper slip. I heard it contains the secret of the Soul Palace, but we are stupid and can’t figure it out. Can you show it to us?”
When Tang Baoguan saw her mentioning the red gold and copper slip, his old face looked excited and weird. He grabbed the red gold and copper slip tremblingly and carefully rubbed the relief on the surface with his fingers. When he finished touching the whole picture, he sighed: "How can you have this?" The red gold and copper slips, I remember the old man said, the red gold and copper slips were taken away by the Li Yuan people thousands of years ago, and their whereabouts are still unknown, and now they are in your hands."
"Could it be?"
At this point, Tang Baoguan's muddy and blind eyes suddenly widened, his lips trembled, and he said word by word: "Could it be that the bones of the ancestors you want to welcome back are from the Li family!"
Although the old man was blind, he felt like a mirror in his heart. Seeing that he had guessed their purpose, Yue Guanchao winked at Song Siyuan, and she continued: "Yes, the person we want to welcome is the descendant of the Li Yuan family, Li Yuan." Before the fall of the Tang Dynasty, they sent a group of native masters to strengthen the magic circle of the Soul Palace. I don’t know what went wrong at that time. All these native masters were backfired, and their bones are still in the soul palace. Now their descendants ask us to retrieve them. It makes perfect sense to return the bones of our ancestors."
Song Siyuan thought to herself that she couldn't let the old man know that the skeletons they were about to welcome were here to steal the treasure. If the old man had to think too much, he might still refuse to help them. It would be easier to just give these local masters a decent identity. This white lie tried to win the old gentleman's support as much as possible.
"So it turns out that the Li family made contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This Soul Palace was designed by Li and Yuan. If you really want to bring back the bones, then the old man is willing to believe you."
When Tang Baoguan said this, he basically agreed to take them to find the Soul Palace. Song Siyuan looked excited and continued to ask: "Really? Uncle Tang, if you are really willing to help, you will really solve a lot of trouble for us."
"Woman, don't get excited yet. Going to Cave Mountain is not a temporary thing. You have to prepare all the six animals, human oil, soul-inducing lamp, phoenix blood, and calf."
Since Tang Baoguan decided to tell them the location of the Soul Palace, he no longer hesitated to introduce these things: "Six animals are easy to say, just have all the horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs. It doesn't need to be too big. I only have calves at home." Yes, the soul-inducing lamp is just a shell, you can prepare it at any time, but the most difficult things to prepare are human oil and phoenix blood."
What is human oil?
This is not the oil and water scraped from the human body, nor is it refining the corpse into oil and water, but the body is placed in an old coffin for a year, the oil and water accumulated after the corpse is putrefied, and the oil and water are burned to remove the water, leaving only the oil, which is the human body. Oil.
As for the phoenix blood, there is something more to say.
