Chapter 40 Chapter Forty

"I want to see what the hell it is..." Holding the compass, he went to the stone pile and circled around twice. After confirming that there was no danger, the old Liu rolled up his sleeves and moved away. A few stones at the top of the pile. "Miss Zhuang. It's okay..." Zhang Guozhong knelt down and patted Zhuang Ning's shoulder. At this time, Zhuang Ning was still lying on the ground trembling with his head in his arms. "Mr. Zhang...Could it be that Mr. Liu put explosives in it?" Zhuang Ning said in shock, "It's just a pile of stones, why do you want to mobilize so many people?"

"Hehe... This is not explosives, nor is it mobilizing the crowd. If there is a chance, I will explain it to you. If Mr. Tiantong wakes up, I can ask him to explain it to you!" "Guohu... also understands these things?" Zhuang Ning seemed a little surprised, "He... is also a Feng Shui master?" "These have nothing to do with Feng Shui! This is Taoism." At this time, Zhang Guozhong had already walked to the side of the stone pile and began to move stones with Old Liu Tou.To say that the pile of stones looks quite large, but it takes only a few moves to lift them up. Before moving a single piece, an iron drill the thickness of a thumb is exposed in the middle of the pile of stones, which is about 10 feet above the ground. About a foot apart, the lever did not move at all when I pulled it with my hand, it seemed that the nail was not shallow.

"This... doesn't seem to be some kind of Gu technique..." Crouching down, Zhang Guozhong carefully observed the iron rod, and saw that the degree of corrosion was not much like it was a hundred years ago, "Senior brother, there are no bugs at all, just a piece of iron Drill!" "Dig down!" Seeing that the rock has been moved out of the ground, and there is still only one iron drill, old Liu Tou is naturally unwilling to give up, "Where does the iron drill get the yin energy? There must be something underneath!" I took a foldable shovel out of my bag and began to dig down along the iron chisel. As a result, I encountered hard stubble after digging a few times. It is too hard to say that it is too hard. From the analysis of the feeling from the shovel, it seems that it is not stone or metal.

"Buried in the ground? Could it be that earthworms are used in the Gu technique?" Zhang Guozhong didn't know why, so he could only pick up the folding shovel and dig in the middle of Old Liu Tou together. Zhang Guozhong dug around, and after a while, a pair of white flowers The hand bones were dug out, and from the outline analysis of the bones buried in the soil, it should be two hands stacked together, and then riveted into the soil by iron drills. "This... Zhang... Mr. Zhang, let's... let's call the police..." Zhuang Ning was so frightened that his face turned pale when he found out that the person impaled by the iron drill turned out to be a human bone.

"Ms. Zhuang, please don't worry, this is not a modern thing..." Qin Ge squatted down, picked up a piece of bone that was dug up by a shovel from the pit, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and then flicked it a few times with his fingers Next, "This section of bone has basically been calcified. Judging by the climate conditions and humidity here, it has been buried underground for at least fifty years!" "Fifty years?" Zhang Guozhong was also taken aback, "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, that happened more than a hundred years ago..." "I mean at least fifty years..." At this point, Qin Ge also frowned, picked up a larger piece of finger bone from the pit, and looked at it repeatedly in front of his eyes, "But it's definitely less than a hundred years! "

"Less than a hundred years?" Zhang Guozhong was taken aback, "So, it is likely to be the Republic of China?" "Look what this is." Zhuang Ning squatted in the grass about ten meters away, and seemed to find something. "Let me take a look..." Zhang Guozhong walked across to Zhuang Ning, pushed aside the grass, and saw a small section of square stone pile protruding from the ground, less than half an inch, it would be hard to find if you don't look carefully.As far as the size and color of the stone piles are concerned, they are very similar to the "Fire Bureau" encountered in Li Village back then. The only difference is that there is no lettering on the top of the stone piles.

"Senior brother!" Zhang Guozhong dug out the stone pile with two or three shovels, and the part buried in the ground was only a foot long at best, "Look at this!" "What is this?" Looking at the stone pile Zhang Guozhong dug from the ground, Zhuang Ning was a little confused, "A Taoist totem?" "It's not a totem!" Zhang Guozhong shook his head, "It's a mantra...could it be..." Although Zhang Guozhong had a feeling of déjà vu for the precious inscription carved on the stone pile, he couldn't remember where he saw it for a while. Pass.

"The Red Curse! This fucking thing belongs to Zhengyi!" At this time, Old Liu Tou and Qin Ge also trotted up to him.Looking at the stone pile in Zhang Guozhong's hand, he was also a little silly, and saw that the extermination inscription carved on the side of the stone pile turned out to be the "Red Flow Curse" that Zhengyi had banned for a long time. "Red Flow Curse!" Hearing what Old Liu said, Zhang Guosi suddenly realized that his hands were so weak that he almost dropped the stone pile on the ground... The so-called "Red Flow Curse" was originally a part of the "Red Flow Formation" of Zhengyi Forbidden Formation, and the name of the spell was also based on the name of the formation.The Zhengyi faction has always been one of the most famous sects in the Central Plains, and the standard of taboos for game spells is also the strictest, ranging from tomb game formations to small spells and rituals. As long as there is a slight flaw in the moral level, there is no real harm. It is very likely to be banned if it is contrary to the traditional etiquette, and because of this, the Zhengyi sect has more and more types of banning techniques than other sects.

As the saying goes, "Show off and don't be afraid of stealing. Hiding it is guaranteed to be lost." The more forbidden you are, the easier it is to attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives. According to legend, in the second year of Tang Wu Zhou Tianshou (691 AD), Zhengyi Zuting Sutra Library Stolen, almost all the ancient books and formation maps that record the taboo formation have traces of being flipped through, but they are all safe and sound, and nothing is lost.Because the things were not lost, they did not get enough attention from the audience. Unexpectedly, just three months later, Luoyang, the capital of gods, had a shocking "headless case". It doesn't just refer to the scarcity of clues, but the veritable "headless" based on the physical level. Thirty-seven members of the same family of newly appointed Sima Lusi were mysteriously wiped out overnight, and the dead were all without exception. The head was torn off from the body with such force that a corpse would be quartered by five horses. For a while, rumors spread in Luoyang city, and people panicked.

For ordinary people, there is absolutely no way to investigate this kind of genuine "non-existent case".After all, Di Renjie is Di Renjie. He knows astronomy, geography, yin and yang, and the five elements. Locked in the category of heresy.He first conducted a blanket investigation of the Taoist temples and temples near Luoyang, and then conducted a full-scale secret investigation of all the places around Luoyang that sold Buddhist and Taoist artifacts and scriptures. The stonemasons, jadesmiths, and blacksmiths all called to the yamen for questioning. Although the questioning did not yield any clues, the questioning brought out a series of suspicious plots; .A blacksmith named Wang Ergou and a stonemason named Li Youcheng in the city died violently at home almost at the same time three days before the incident, after interviewing their families.Di Renjie learned that the two had taken over the business of the same person before his death. This person claimed to be Zhang Liang, and the business entrusted to Wang and Li was to make a batch of iron drills and carve a batch of small stone piles.

Although the case has basically been determined so far, in order to ensure everything is safe, Di Renjie wrote a letter to Zhang Luchen, the Zhengtian master at the time, hoping that Zhang Zhenren could send a capable person down the mountain to help solve the case.As soon as he saw the letter, Zhang Zhenren immediately thought of the theft of the Buddhist scriptures building not long ago.When he had a calf, he turned forward on the spot: According to Di Renjie's description in the letter, the so-called heresy used by the criminal is actually the absolute prohibition formation and the red formation of the upright school. This formation originated from the Western Jin Dynasty. It was originally not a formation of the Zhengyi School, but a unique formation of a Xiaodao School called the "Qingchen School".Strictly speaking, the Qingchen Sect is not a very upright Taoist sect, but an inexplicable sect formed by some unwilling court warlocks in the later Han Dynasty. Banner, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the inheritance of the Qingchen faction declined, and it seemed that they could not get along, so they found the Zhengyi faction and surrendered.Zhengyi also accepted it. Although people accepted it, the formations of the Qingchen sect were included in the category of forbidden formations by Zhengyi without exception. The reason is very simple. Can the formations studied by your group of court warlocks be What serious formation?The palace is nothing but intrigues and intrigues, and at least half of the so-called formations of the Qingchen sect are seemingly orthodox, but with a little modification, they can harm people invisible, just like the current Chiliu formation. Even the real master Tianshi can't imagine what kind of consequences it will be if it is based on this formation, and this kind of fringe formation can easily become a disaster.It is a new thing that Zhengyi is not banned. In order to restore the bad influence, Zhenren Zhang did not hesitate to go down the mountain to plead guilty to Di Renjie himself, truthfully explained the ins and outs of the theft of the Zhengyi Sutra Library, and assisted Di Renjie to find the iron drills and stone piles buried in the lower reaches of the Luo River, until the case was finally solved. Di Renjie did not trouble the Zheng faction with the leakage of the forbidden formation, but only handed over the iron drills and stone stakes used in the formation to the court as evidence of the crime.Of course, Di Renjie is not a fool, and the less people who know about this kind of Xingmen stuff, the better. In the later stage of the case, not many people have actually seen iron drills and stone piles.In addition, Di Renjie personally issued a sealing order to all relevant people who had contact with the case, but a small part of the content carved on the stone pile was leaked inexplicably, and it has been passed down to this day. A small part of the content is exactly the "Red Flow Curse" carved on the stone pile dug out by Zhang Guozhong at this moment...
