Chapter 29 Cold Bone Cave
If you want to say that this Taoist priest of You Fang is not a good-looking lamp. At that time in the Ming Dynasty, four well-known You Fang Sanren emerged from the Taoist sect, called the "Four Little Immortals in Jiangnan". At this time, this Taoist priest of You Fang was one of the four little immortals, with his surname Wang and his name was Qi Fengzi. He always acted dirty and greedy. Except for his cultivation of Taoism, he basically had no other good reputation. When it comes to killing people, Wang Qifeng has not done anything, but the few he killed him
There is no good bird in the position, it is a matter of dog biting dogs and eating bad things. At first, Wang Qifeng once suggested to Li Guang that Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin is too dangerous and there are other ways to kill Zhang Wenyong, but it will take a little longer, about two to three months, but Li Guang couldn't wait. Zhang Wenyong will not die for at least half a month. The position of the Tongzong is 80% unsuccessful. It is a trivial matter that the new Tongzong can't even save his head as soon as he takes office.
If you want to kill an adult who was jumping without knowing it within half a month, it would be a bit difficult to kill a lively adult without knowing it. What are special props? Judging from the situation at that time, Zhao Jinzhou's "specimen" was the most suitable prop. According to Wang Qifeng's preliminary analysis, no matter why those yamen runners and Zhang Cong who moved to the grave died, there is no doubt that Zhao Jinzhou's specimen could kill people quickly. The most critical step is just how to safely transport Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin around Zhang Wenyong's house, and then some formations will come naturally.
Although the thought was simple, Wang Qifeng was stunned when he arrived at Longhugang. With Wang Qifeng's ability, it was not difficult to find the burial place of Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin and the accurate location of the eight thieves' tombs at that time. However, through observing the yin and yang trends of the entire Longhugang, Wang Qifeng was surprised to find that the burial place of Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin and the location of the eight thieves' tombs happened to be the center of the two largest giant yin pools in Longhugang, so that the yin and resentment gathered together and the resentment soared into the sky. An independent yin energy cycle has even formed between the two points, just like the "seven gates" between cities.
Other wandering ghosts in Longhugang were also involved in this yin energy cycle. Whether it was to play Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin or destroy the eight thieves' tombs, it would destroy the normal cycle of the yin energy system. At this time, what a person had to face would not only be the resentment of Zhao Jinzhou's family, but the thousands of wandering ghosts in Longhugang. If the death of the three yamen runners was caused by Zhao Jinzhou's resentment, then Zhang Cong later moved to the ancestral tomb and caused trouble, it was very likely that it had touched a certain link in this yin energy cycle.
In addition, the consequences of destroying this Yin Qi system are the same as those of destroying the "Seven Passes" of the town. In theory, it will inevitably violate the taboo of "changing the sky and usurping the earth". Even if you are not killed by wandering ghosts, you may even die suddenly on the spot. If you have to forcefully disguise Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin, it would be feasible if the Yin Qi cycle was not yet formed a few years ago, but the raw rice is ripe at this time, so how easy is it to pay attention to killing the corpse skin? To be honest, Wang Qifeng is a self-aware person. When he saw this situation, he simply returned to Li Guang's silver bill. The current situation is not the same as himself, even if Laojun comes to the world, he has to consider it if he wants to touch Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin.
Besides, Li Guang, since Wang Qifeng agreed to help, his heart was already in his stomach, but he didn't expect that this old Taoist would go back on his word and return the silver bill. In desperation, Li Guang prepared to implement his own plan, three thousand taels of silver, you stinky Taoist priest don't want to make it, some people are thrusting their heads!
Of course, Li Guang was also in lingering fear of the deaths of those yamen runners and Zhang Cong. Since Wang Qifeng had helped find the location of Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin, Li Guang simply spent 1,000 taels of silver to hire two people, intending to dig out the corpse skin from the field in the dark, clear the straw and lime in the corpse skin and then buried it secretly outside the yard of Zhang Wenyong's house. After a night of ups and downs, Li Guang went to the Zhang Mansion early in the morning to see the effect, but he was scared back without walking far away and saw Xiangyang Street.
There were alleys full of government troops. At first, Li Guang thought the matter was exposed and all of these soldiers came to arrest him. But after inquiring, he found out that seventy-seven people died silently that night. Not only did the governor Zhang Wenyong's family die, but several irrelevant families around him were also wiped out. The two people he hired simply died suddenly in the street. At present, the yamen has reported this matter to the court as a plague outbreak, and the surroundings of the Zhang family have been martial law by the government army.
After hearing this news, Li Guang could be said to be both happy and afraid. Zhang Wenyong was dead, afraid that he would never have expected this thing to be so powerful. Fortunately, he was too scheming and hired two scapegoats, otherwise he would have died suddenly. However, this is not the time to summarize the results of the struggle. The power of Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin is really unexpected. In addition, he is guilty of being a thief. Even if Zhang Wenyong died, Li Guang decided to leave Xiangyang immediately and fly away. Just when Li Guang prepared his carriage and horses to go on the road, Wang Qifeng came to the door again and asked for a 10,000 taels of silver closure fee.
He threatened to go to inform the government army without paying money. To be honest, only Wang Qifeng knew the situation in Xiangyang Prefecture is the plague at the moment except Li Guang himself. But then again, Li Guang is not a good-looking lamp. He admitted that he was not afraid of rumor. He died in such a large Xiangyang Prefecture overnight. If you go to inform, it was the magistrate who was appointed to instigate ghosts and gods to kill the prefect. Who would believe it? You stinky Taoist priest always agreed to help, but when he saw that the risk was high, he shrank. When I got things done quickly, I came out to extort. How could there be such a cheap thing in the world?
Seeing that Li Guang was not on the trap, Wang Qifeng left without saying anything. As a result, a few days later, someone found the bodies of Li Guang's family of five in the wilderness thirty miles outside Xiangyang City. All the property on them were looted. Two years later, a newly built Taoist temple outside Yunyang Prefecture City, Hubei was called Qifeng Temple. It was very popular and had seven internal and external connections, and the scale was very similar to that of Shaolin Wudang. The host of this temple was Wang Qifeng, who had to rely on door-to-door practices to make hard work in the past two years.
Let’s talk about Xiangyang.
Although ancient people did not have any modern communication tools, the speed of spreading gossip was faster than the Internet. The news of the outbreak of the plague spread throughout Xiangyang in an instant, and a large number of people moved out of their families. At the same time, the news also reached the court. At that time, Zhu Di had just dealt with his nephew Zhu Yunwen. The court had not had enough ministers, and the government was piled up like mountains of documents. The government affairs were even more messy. He had no intention of caring about whether to plague or not. He simply threw this matter directly to Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. But at this time, Xia Yuanji was also very busy.
Well, he sent someone to send the official documents back to the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue*. Ren Chong'an, the Qing official in Huguang, had no choice but to reluctantly bring a few medical officials to Xiangyang City. Just as the official documents were to go around, people died in Xiangyang Prefecture. Although the scale was much smaller than the 77 people on the first day, it was very strange. According to the officers and soldiers in the city, the plague was really strange. The dead people basically died at night, and there was nothing wrong with the daytime. Some people were still alive during the day and would die silently at night.
Plagues will not distinguish between day and night. After a few experiences, a medical officer named Huang Yande felt that things seemed far less simple than plagues, so he reminded Ren Zhongan to go to Wudang Mountain to ask capable people to take a look. In ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine and Taoist art were three-part, and many traditional Chinese medicine even had a little understanding of Taoist art. Huang Yande was one of them. According to Huang Yande's understanding, there is no disease in the world that can make people die silently in just one night. The reason why Xiangyang Prefecture suffered this sudden disaster is likely to have caused some powerful "things".
When Ren Chong'an visited Wudang Mountain, it happened that Zhang Sanfeng traveled to Laoshan. Song Yuanqiao, the eldest disciple who was temporarily in charge of the things in the mountains, did not take the matter of Xiangyang seriously. He thought that these broken things among the people could solve them, so he sent his junior brother Mo Shenggu to Xiangyang with Ren Chong'an. Unexpectedly, Mo Shenggu quickly returned to Wudang Mountain within half a month. When he saw Song Yuanqiao, he said: Xiangyang's things are so big. I have never seen such an evil thing since I grew up so old. I hope I am alone, and there is no chance...
In Xiangyang, Mo Shenggu found the corpse skin of Zhao Jinzhou, which was not buried deep outside the courtyard of Zhang Mansion without any effort, and then found the burial place of the Eight Thieves Tombs in Longhugang. At this point, the so-called "plague" in Xiangyang City has a definite explanation: it was caused by the change of the Yin flow of Longhugang. To put it bluntly, the Yin Qi formed between Zhao Jinzhou's corpse skin and the Eight Thieves Tombs in Longhugang. The path has been changed due to the movement of the corpse skin. The wandering souls of the mass grave were brought into Xiangyang with the corpse skin. Xiangyang is a city where living people live. The yang energy must be many times stronger than Longhugang. It suddenly goes from Yin to Yangli, even if it is considered
Even the ordinary soul will become evil spirits. According to Mo Shenggu's view, the only way to do the Xiangyang Prefecture is to dig out Zhao Jinzhou's corpse from the eight thieves' tombs, and then bury it with the corpse skin to be saved first, and then bury it with his family before burying it with his family before pursuing it. Although the procedure is the same as a few years ago, it is much more difficult. Because it has been a long time, the resentment of the eight thieves' tombs is already three feet frozen. If you move Zhao Jinzhou's corpse, the consequences are the same as moving the corpse skin. Not only will it bring a lot of messy injustice to Xiangyang City, but even the person who transports the corpse will die for a lifetime. Obviously, it is no longer a task that one person can complete.
After hearing Mo Shenggu's description, Song Yuanqiao was also in a difficult situation for a moment. He had never expected that things would be so complicated, but he could not stand by and watch. Wudang famously kept the world. Not long ago, he slapped his chest and slapped it. As a result, when encountering difficult things, he would collectively shrink. If such a thing is spread, how can he survive in the world in the future?
At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng returned from Yunyou. After hearing this, he couldn't come up with a sure plan for a while, so he had to retreat and think in peace. However, this retreat was not for thinking about martial arts, but for inventing a formation - a formation specifically targeting the eight thief tombs...
"That's the Eight Immortal Formation?" Zhang Guozhong asked.
"Well! According to Master Zhang's original intention, this formation is divided into eight formations, with seven disciples each holding one line in Longhugang, and Master Zhang himself holding one line in Xiangyang Prefecture. The seven disciples first rescued Zhao Jinzhou's seven families in the eight thieves' tombs. The formation of Xiangyang Prefecture temporarily led the Yang of the 'Seven Pass' of Xiangyang Prefecture to shock Zhao Jinzhou's skin. The seven formations of Longhugang are very simple, and this line in Xiangyang Prefecture needs to change the Yin and Yang of the Seven Passes, which can be changed to destroy the Yin and Yang, and at worst, it will be severely killed on the spot!" Master Chen Guang said, "Although the disciples oppose, there is no other way. Moreover, Master Zhang's attention has been determined and it is difficult to change. In later classics, eliminating the major problems of Xiangyang Prefecture is indeed dependent on this Eight Immortal Formation, but the formation in Xiangyang City, that is, the person who changes the seven passes of Xiangyang, is not Master Zhang himself!"
According to Taoist Master Chen Guang's statement, it is difficult for Wudang disciples to accept Zhang Sanfeng to change the seven gates of Xiangyang in person, whether it is reasonable or not, but Zhang Sanfeng himself was not Zhang Sanfeng himself. In the Wudang Scripture "Wudang Immortals", the Taoist priest who was in charge of the Xiangyang lineage of the Eight Immortals Formation was still unknown. Later generations once speculated that this person's identity should be Zhang Sanfeng's closed disciple in his later years, but in the official history of Wudang, no records of this person were found.
"About this person, in "Wudang Immortals", there have been mentioned twice in total. The first time was before the Eight Immortals Formation, and the other time was after the Formation!" Taoist Master Chen Guang shook his head and said, "Taoist Yan Shang guarded Zhao Jinzhou's body in the 'Cold Bone Cave', and there has been no record of it since then."
Although the Eight Immortal Formation can temporarily solve the problem of Xiangyang Prefecture, it cannot solve the resentment problem of Zhao Jinzhou's corpse itself. Because it has been delayed for too long, Zhao Jinzhou's resentment cannot be saved, but it cannot be burned like dealing with ordinary grievances. Because Zhao Jinzhou's great resentment has not been eliminated, and if he forcibly burned his corpse, it will only increase his resentment and make it difficult to deal with. In this regard, Zhang Sanfeng decided to place Zhao Jinzhou's corpse in a cave called "Han Bone Cave". According to legend, this cave is as big as water.
The intensity of Yin Qi is difficult to match in ordinary Shandong or Giant Yinchi. Although injustices have the characteristics of "love of Yin", if the evil spirits of great resentment are placed in this cave, the excessively strong Yin Qi in the cave is tantamount to reducing the tolerance of the evil spirits to the external yang energy. Once you adapt to the Yin Qi in the Cold Bone Cave, the evil spirits will not take a step outside the cave. Over time, their resentment will gradually dissipate, and it is also a good way to play hard to get. The person responsible for guarding the body of the "Zhao Jinzhou" in the Cold Bone Cave was the Taoist priest Yan Shang.
"Han Bone Cave?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned, "Do you know the specific location?"
"I don't know this..." Taoist Master Chen Guang shook his head, "But it shouldn't be too far away. Zhao Jinzhou's body should not be transported for a long distance. Of course, the closer the better..."
"Then can you read the book "Wudang Immortals" you mentioned by borrowing it from my younger generation?"
"It's all burned!" Master Chen Guang spread his hands, "When I was hiding the scriptures, I only hid a few boxes. I think I had tens of millions of scriptures and the ancestors of the scriptures alone were hundreds of kilograms. I couldn't even hide serious scriptures. How could I hide that kind of book? By the way, Master Zhang, you just said that Senior Brother Chenxing had something to do with me, what happened?"
"I made it on site, that big sister is endless, I want to help you get the chance..."
"Oh, what I said..." Taoist Master Chen Guang laughed...
