Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Three

After turning around inside and outside the house, Zhang Guozhong turned around the courtyard again with a compass, everything was normal. "Strange!" Zhang Guozhong closed the compass, squatted down and patted Li Shuai on the shoulder, "Young man, tell the truth to the uncle, what did you do when you went to Niangniang Mountain?" "This..." Li Shuai lowered his head with a sad expression on his face, "I didn't do anything!" "Have you encountered any strange things?" Zhang Guozhong continued to ask. "What's so weird?" Li Shuai raised his head and met Zhang Guozhong's eyes. To be honest, Zhang Guozhong has never seen such clear and clear eyes since he was born. If these eyes are on a girl's face, isn't it A celebrity has to be a model too. It seems that what Li Zhen said is true. If this Li Shuai didn't have a dull expression and didn't wipe his nose, he should have a clever appearance.

"Strange things, that is... For example, there are strange people, strange lights, strange sounds, these are all strange things." Zhang Guozhong paused, and said all the strange things he could think of. "I... I saw smoke coming from the mountain," Li Shuai lowered his head, "They couldn't see it, but I saw it obviously. I asked them to go over to have a look. If they didn't go, I ran over alone. When I got there, the smoke was gone, and I went back to look for them again. Grandpa, is this a strange thing?" "Smoke? What kind of smoke?" Zhang Guozhong was taken aback.

"It's just a little black white smoke, like the smoke from burning wet wood." Li Shuai said, "I thought someone had lit a fire. I wanted to go and burn it together, but when I got there, no one lit the fire." "Is there no one or no fire?" Zhang Guozhong asked. "Nothing, just a pile of rocks." Li Shuai said. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Hearing what Li Shuai said, Li Zhen seemed a little anxious. "You didn't even ask me!" Li Shuai looked aggrieved. "Zhang Banxian, look at this..." Li Zhen turned his head to look at Zhang Guozhong, "Did the smoke come from a ghost?"

"I don't know." Zhang Guozhong stood up, "Young man, can you take uncle to see where the smoke is coming from?" "Hey?" When he heard that he was going to go up to Niangniang Mountain, Li Zhen immediately looked embarrassed, "Half Immortal, Wudang Mountain is the one who told you not to go north, let alone go up the mountain!" "You have to tie the bell to untie it!" Zhang Guozhong smiled, "Your son is fine, your house is fine, and now the only thing that may be safe is the smoke on the mountain!" "That's right, there is a half-immortal around you, you are afraid of shit, is it possible that a goblin can come out and eat us all?" Li Lao Er believed in Zhang Guozhong, and kept fanning the flames beside him.

"Brother Yang, it's really impossible. You can go back today. Let's go to Liu Qian's grave tomorrow?" Zhang Guozhong turned his head and wanted Yang Zhou to go back first. After all, this matter has little to do with Liu Qian's matter. "No no, I'll be together, I'll be together!" Yang Zhou was so curious that he would not let it go, "I have a car, so I'm not afraid of being late!" Li Lao Er drove, took Zhang Guozhong, Yang Zhou, and Li Zhen and his sons to the place where Zhang Guozhong went up the mountain just now, and Li Shuai led the way. After a while, they walked to a small depression full of gravel, "Here, here is This one, I saw smoke coming from this place from a long distance away, and it will disappear when I come here." Li Shuai raised his finger and pointed to a piece of gravel in the small mountain depression, saying that it was gravel, and the smallest one had to be as big as a watermelon .

"Here?" Zhang Guozhong took the compass and wandered around the gravel twice, and found that the pointer, which had been motionless since entering the mountain, moved faintly. Obviously, something was buried under the gravel. thing.According to the topography, this small mountain depression can be regarded as a dead spot for gathering yin, and the yin energy is stronger than other places in the mountain.Normally speaking, the compass should be in a semi-failure state when it arrives here. If the compass can respond under such circumstances, the strength of its Yin Qi can be imagined.To be honest, without Li Shuai leading the way, if only Zhang Guozhong used the compass to find it, he would not be able to find such corners even if he was killed.

"I understand." Closing the compass, Zhang Guozhong came to Li Shuai again, "Young man, have you seen such a thing before?" According to Zhang Guozhong's guess, this Li Shuai may be the one in the folklore. With Yin and Yang eyes, at least the visual sensitivity to Yin Qi is stronger than that of ordinary people, that's why I saw smoke coming from this place.According to the topography of this small mountain depression, Yin Qi is easy to form a vortex effect, just like some dead corners at the bottom of a stream often have water vortices; and what Li Shuai saw at the time was probably the vertical formation formed in the mountain depression. A vortex of Yin Qi going straight up.In the eyes of wisdom, Yin Qi should be gray-black, so Li Shuai could see the gray smoke like burning wet firewood.

"Before?" Li Shuai shook his head, "I've been here before, nothing happened, except for the smoke that day." "Not only in the mountains," Zhang Guozhong said, "When you are at home or out to play, have you ever experienced something like smoke?" "No." Li Shuai shook his head. "Zhang Banxian, you said that there is smoke coming out of this field for no reason, could it be a goblin coming out of the cave?" Li Zhen, who was standing by the side, frowned, as if he was quite worried after hearing what his son said. "Don't worry, it's definitely not." Zhang Guozhong was also a little helpless. It seemed that Li Zhen must have seen too much, "Come on, two brothers Li and brother Yang, help me remove these stones." While speaking, Zhang Guozhong He began to move the stones to this side. Seeing this, Li Laoer and Li Zhen hurriedly started to help. After a while, the stones moved to the side were piled up as high as a person, and several people were exhausted. He was out of breath, but the strange thing was that there was no shortage of gravel under his feet, and there were still three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Something's wrong!" Zhang Guozhong took out the compass, and saw the needle vibrate slightly, the amplitude seemed to be a little bigger than before, but it was still not obvious. "What's wrong? Is there a goblin?" Seeing Zhang Guozhong looking at the compass, the Li brothers immediately came to him. "Look at these rocks, they don't seem to be formed naturally." Zhang Guozhong looked up at the surrounding mountains, they were basically whole rocks, even if there were some broken rocks in some places, they were scattered in different sizes, but The place right now is not only located in the middle of the small mountain depression in Juyin, but also has several layers of stones of similar size dug down, obviously showing traces of man-made.

"By the way, Zhang Banxian, you asked me about the ancient tomb earlier, is it here?" Li Laoer suddenly remembered that Zhang Guozhong had asked him about the ancient tomb in Baizhangchi, and his expression panicked instantly, "Let's do it without permission. The grave, will not be retribution?" "Is this an ancient tomb?" Li Zhen was also a little dumbfounded, "Zhang Banxian, do you think the child brought the ghost from the ancient tomb back to our house?" "Who said this is an ancient tomb?" Zhang Guozhong frowned, convinced the two brothers in his heart, his imagination is really rich, has people been buried in such a place since ancient times?But having said that, although it is certain that there is no ancient tomb under his feet, at this moment, Zhang Guozhong has another guess in his heart: cold bone cave.

Regardless of the terrain or the response of the compass, the place under your feet at this time meets the conditions for the existence of Hangu Cave: first, the entire mountain depression is a dead corner, and yin and yang basically do not flow; second, this mountain depression is a big funnel from the topography, and this The gravel area is the center point of the funnel, and the yin energy of the entire depression gathers at this point. If there is really a cave or something underground, open a skylight here to expose the sky, and the yin energy will flow away for many years. Irrigation in the hole, it is difficult to imagine a cold bone hole!Moreover, in the story of the Eight Immortals Town Demon, Zhao Jinzhou's body is not suitable for long-distance transport, so it is speculated that the Cold Bone Cave should be in Hubei. From this point of view, the geographical location of Niangniang Mountain is also consistent with the legend. "Could it be..." Thinking of this, Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but move in his heart. According to the legend, the whereabouts of the Taoist Yan Shang who is suspected of being Zhu Yunqi has a lot to do with the Cold Bone Cave. If you find the Cold Bone Cave, you will also find Yan Shang. , and found Zhu Yunwen.And in Huang Xian's posthumous poem, if you find Zhu Yunqi, you can also find Su Tieli's whereabouts. Could it be that there was an arrangement in the dark?Even the old Taoist Chen Guang didn't know the exact location of the Bone Cave, but he was able to bump into it by accident? "Half Immortal, shall we still dig down?" Li Zhen hesitated to continue moving the stone, "Can you give me an accurate answer, does this matter have anything to do with those things in my family? How do you solve it?" "Don't dig now." Zhang Guozhong waved his hand, "Go back first, I'm going to Wudang Mountain, and I'll make plans when I come back." To be honest, at this moment, although Zhang Guozhong wanted to continue digging to find out, but After thinking about it, I decided to forget it first. I didn’t bring any powerful guys with me this time. If the bottom of my feet was really the legendary cold bone hole, I would surely stab someone if I just dug it up like this, not to mention the legendary Zhao Jinzhou, Zhao Daxia, even if it's just a little ghost who was sucked in by the vortex of Yin Qi, he can drink a pot by himself with the Yin Qi from this mountain depression and the cold bone cave below.If you want to dig a hole, although you don't have to hold a giant que, at least you have to be a decent guy! "Are you going to Wudang Mountain?" Yang Zhou next to him was also taken aback, "What about Liu Qian and his wife?" "It's all the same thing. There's no need to go to the couple's cemetery, it's definitely a matter of water!" According to Zhang Guozhong's speculation, if the cold bone cave is really at your feet, the water in Baizhang Pond must have come from here through a secret passage. It is likely that some people in the later generations discovered this cold bone cave, which is full of yin, and in order to avoid harming the village, they built a secret passage and Baizhang pool to vent evil spirits.Water is a good carrier of resentment, and the aquarium draws water from Baiji Pond, which is bound to gather a certain amount of resentment, although everything is speculation at this time, and it cannot explain why only Liu Qian and his wife died in the aquarium and others People are fine, but the possibility of problems in the cemetery can basically be ruled out.
