It turned out that she wanted me to help her rob the tomb and break all the Taoist magic arrays in Li Cunshi's tomb! !
This is actually not that difficult!
The Taoist array is an overall arrangement, which protects the entire tomb and prevents the invasion of evil spirits. It has no effect on a living person like me. As long as I destroy the tomb, even if I open a hole, the Taoist array will be finished!
But after experiencing the tombs in the Qinling Mountains, I really have a shadow on this kind of ancient tomb. At the beginning, there was Wu Pangzi, the tomb robber, and Qingyi, the Taoist little master, and I almost didn't come out when I went in. Now I am really a little nervous to dig a tomb by myself, and I can't help cursing in my heart. What the hell is this?
It was originally a small matter of inviting the wrong ghost and encountering a dead fox on Qingming Festival. Who knew that there were so many doors and doors behind it, and finally provoked a thousand-year-old female ghost Princess Changping. It is really rare for me to be so unlucky.
But now I think if I don't agree, Princess Changping will not let me go, so after a little hesitation, I said: "I do know a little about the Feng Shui technique of finding dragons and tombs, and I can try my best to help you, but I can't guarantee whether I can take you into the main tomb to find the ghost of Li Cunshi."
So, I also want to leave myself a way out. If I make promises but can't even enter the tomb in the end, I guess I will really provoke this ghost princess.
"Don't worry, Taoist priest. You are willing to help me. I won't blame you even if you fail in the end."
When Princess Changping heard that I agreed, her hostility was weakened. She bowed deeply to me and said, "Please rest assured, Taoist priest. Whether the matter succeeds or not, I will not hurt your life. It's not for anything else, just because you are a real hero..."
At this point, Princess Changping lowered her head, and a trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes: "The Taoist priest fought to the death in the face of the siege of hundreds of ghosts to protect his lover. He used his body to resist the harm for his lover. What he did touched Changping's heart. If I had such a man to protect me back then, I would not have fallen into such a miserable end..."
I felt a little embarrassed when Princess Changping said this. I didn't think so much at the time. I had only one thought in my mind - I must protect my own woman. Even if I died in the battle, at least I wouldn't leave too much regret in my heart. That's all.
Princess Changping then gave me a parchment scroll with a map on it. She said the location marked on the map was the location where Li Cunshi's tomb was built, and she would always be by my side.
After such a night of tossing and turning, it was already past four in the morning, and it was about to dawn. Although Princess Changping had practiced Taoism for thousands of years, she had hurt people's lives and failed to become a spirit ghost. Therefore, although her appearance in broad daylight would not cause the soul to fly away, it would definitely cause some harm to it, so she said goodbye to me and left in a hurry.
When I returned to the Zhao family's house alone with my wounds, the sky was already turning pale. Fortunately, Princess Changping really kept her promise and did not let those evil spirits harass the living people in the house. The Zhao family and Zhang Bowen were all fine. When they saw me coming back, they rushed out in a swarm. I didn't say much about the cause and the whole story. I just told the Zhao family that the disaster was resolved. After saying all this, I finally couldn't stand it anymore. I was really too tired. I was tortured by the pain of my wounds. I came back with all my strength. When I saw my companions' strength was gone, I fainted.
When I woke up again, I had returned from Wuwang Village to the county hospital in Wuzhai County. I was covered with bandages. Li Jiajia was taking care of me by my bed. When she saw me wake up, her tired face showed a strong surprise, and then she screamed and ran out. After a while, she brought Zhang Bowen and Zhou Jing back.
After chatting with them, I found out that I had been unconscious for three days. The main problem was excessive blood loss. Fortunately, I was type O blood, and there were many blood types that matched mine in the blood bank of Wuzhai County Hospital. Otherwise, I would have been in a very bad situation this time. If I couldn't find a suitable blood type in this remote place, whether I could hold on and return to Taiyuan would be a matter of two words.
During the time I was unconscious, Zhang Bowen and his friends found a hotel near the hospital and stayed there temporarily, taking turns to look after me. During this period, the three brothers of the Zhao family came to see me several times and said that the old man Zhao had woken up and their family had not encountered any strange things. In order to thank me, he left me a red envelope. In the red envelope was a bank card with the password written on the back of the card. Zhang Bowen had checked it and found that there was a full 300,000 yuan in the card, which was a reward from the Zhao family for my life-saving grace.
I didn't take the 300,000 yuan, and I gave it all to Zhou Jing, Zhang Bowen and the other three. They had experienced a lot of dangers when they followed me on the mission this time. In two days, when my injury is better, they will have to follow me to tinker with Li Cunshi's tomb. Who knows how many terrifying things they will have to experience again. I must give them some dividends. Who knew that among the three, except for Zhou Jing, the little bastard, Zhang Bowen and Li Jiajia were embarrassed to ask for the dividends from me, saying that it was the money I earned with my life, and they didn't contribute much, so they refused to take it no matter what. Finally, they accepted it reluctantly when they saw that I was getting angry.
In the next few days, I have been recovering in the county hospital. In the dead of night, Princess Changping appeared and talked to me for a few words. She actually followed me all the time. Although she seemed to have no ill will towards me for the time being, she was a thousand-year-old female ghost after all. If I said I was not scared to follow me like this, I would be bragging. I was thinking about quickly settling the matter of Li Cunshi, so when my injury was almost healed, I hurriedly left the hospital and drove to Wuwang Village again.
Because I was not familiar with the local environment of Wuwang Village, I was completely in the dark even with the map given to me by Princess Changping. I had no idea how to get around in the mountains. I had no choice but to spend 500 yuan to find a guide in Wuwang Village. He was an old man named Xu, who was over 70 years old, but very agile. He had fought in the Vietnam War in his early years and was blinded in one eye by shrapnel during the battle in Laoshan. So after he retired from the army, he never got married and lived a difficult life. Only Old Man Xu could recognize the map in Wuwang Village. After all, he had been a soldier and fought in wars, so he had no problem reading the map.
On that day, we stayed in Wuwang Village for another day and set off into the mountains at night. After all, we were excavating ancient tombs, so it was safer to move at night. Once we entered the mountain, we couldn't drive the car. We could only carry some necessary supplies and tools and follow Old Man Xu on foot. Fortunately, the place marked on the map was not far away. After leaving Wuwang Village, we walked into the vast Guancen Mountains for most of the night and arrived.
Who knew that just when we arrived at the place, Li Jiajia screamed: "This is where my father was killed!!"
When I heard it, my heart moved immediately. Combined with the history of Wuwang Village, I suspected that Li He had parked the car on top of an ancient tomb, and finally angered the things in the tomb, so he was beaten to death. Now we are looking for Li Cunshi's tomb and have touched the place where Li He was killed. Is there any connection between them?
Or was it the things in Li Cunshi's tomb that killed Li He?
Is the Yin Qi thing that Li He couldn't feel the body of Li Cunshi himself?
A series of questions popped up in my mind. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally, I just gave up thinking about it. Just dig up Li Cunshi's tomb and take a look.
Don't say I'm brave. The main reason is that I have Princess Changping, a thousand-year-old female ghost, following me. I feel a little more confident. Anyway, Princess Changping will protect me. What am I afraid of?
I did it right away. I took out the Luoyang shovel and pushed away the old man Xu who was leading the way. I was ready to nail the Luoyang shovel down to see if there was an ancient tomb.
Digging the Luoyang shovel underground is actually a delicate skill. There are many requirements. If you don't know how to dig, the shovel you dig won't carry the soil, and it's basically a waste of effort.
I've seen Fatty Wu dig this thing. If you want to dig, you must dig a vertical hole. For the tool, the shovel head must be straight and the rod must be straight. Otherwise, it is easy to make a crooked hole, or even a small hole with a big belly, which is not a good idea, but a big joke.
Therefore, if you want to use this Luoyang shovel correctly, the posture of the shovel player is very particular. First, the body should be straight, legs apart, hands holding the rod, placed in front of the chest, the shovel head on the ground, located between the toes of the two feet, and use force to dig vertically downward. Open the bottom, keep rotating the shovel head, alternately dig down from all sides, and keep the cylindrical shape of the hole. When looking at the soil to determine whether there is an ancient tomb below, you have to dig the soil from the blade backwards, break it apart vertically to see the cross section, and you cannot shovel back. Back shoveling means digging into the ground two or three times in a row before lifting the shovel.
I secretly recalled Wu Pangzi's skills when he played with this thing, and started to shovel while looking back. I was not good at it, and soon my palms were full of blood blisters, which hurt a lot. I couldn't do it after connecting three or four white wax rods. I was completely gritting my teeth to persist, and the bigger the rod, the slower it was. It was not until dawn that I finally felt that there seemed to be movement below...
It was a very special feeling, soft and fluffy, and I didn't know what I hit!
Perhaps noticing the abnormal expression on my face, Zhang Bowen suddenly asked me: "Did you find anything?"
I nodded and started to withdraw the Luoyang shovel. After a while, I lifted the shovel up. When I saw the soil on it, I was stunned! ! !
The soil on the shovel was mixed with some brick debris. Brick debris appeared in the soil more than ten meters underground. This was definitely a sign of an ancient tomb below, but... What shocked me was that there were not only brick debris in the soil, but also blood! ! !
The bright red blood had obviously just flowed out!!
My eyes twitched when I saw the blood - what on earth was there under the ground? How come the Luoyang shovel not only brought out brick and tile fragments, but also brought out bright red blood?
