Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six

There is a coffin in the middle of the cave, and I don't know how long it has been placed.A ray of sunlight came in from the top of the cave, and happened to shine on the coffin. Wang Tuozi looked at it for a long time, then suddenly sighed, and said, "What a powerful method." Wei Ning was confused for a while, and asked, "Master, why can't I understand?" Wang Tuozi smiled and said: "It's right if you don't understand it. Look, this coffin is surrounded by ink thread. Why do ordinary coffins use ink thread to suppress the corpse? Don't think about it. There must be something weird inside. Look at that again." The pictures of the dark Eight Immortals are all things used to suppress corpses, and the tomb builders left a line of sky on the top of the coffin. On the one hand, it is to let the god of joy in the coffin feel the yang energy outside, but they cannot break free from the shackles of the ink lines. If things go on like this, the resentment will accumulate more and more, once it is released, it will be terrible; on the other hand, if someone releases the god of joy, and the god of joy can immediately go away when encountering yang energy, then the tomb robber will be regarded as a disaster. So, no matter what, the person who built this tomb should be punished."

After speaking, he took out a bamboo tube from the bag, and said to Wei Ning calmly, "Take off your clothes." "what?" "I told you to take off your clothes and apply this glutinous rice water all over your body. You are young and young, and once this happy spirit goes away, apply this to prevent you from being infected with corpse poison." Wei Ning shyly removed his clothes, and smeared the glutinous rice water all over his body, his cheeks were already as red as if they had been burned. Wang Tuozi said: "I'm going to ask Xishen to get up now, and you will open this red umbrella later to block that ray of sky, so as not to let Xishen get angry. Remember to block it, otherwise Xishen will go away, and you I might die here today."

When Wang Tuozi came to the coffin, he first lit three sticks of incense, paid homage to the God of Joy, and then asked Wei Ning to wrap up the red umbrella. In ancient times, the coffins of the dead were all made of mortise and tenon structure, and the wood was used to inlay the slots. An eight-inch long iron nail. Wang Tuozi explained: "The nails are also exquisite, which represent the eight sufferings of life, birth, old age, illness, death, love and parting, resentment and hatred, not getting what you want, and the blazing of five shades. If you die, you will still suffer from these eight sufferings—I don’t know who this person offended in his life, and he would hurt him like this.”

Wang Tuozi pointed to some symbols on the head of the coffin and said, "This is the corpse-resisting pattern, and it is also to prevent this happy spirit from wandering off." This Wei Ning has seen before, nodded quickly. Wang Tuozi took out tools from the package and pried out an iron nail.Although we don't know the age of this coffin, but this iron nail is very shiny.Wang Tuozi sniffed it under his nose, and said, "Soaked in corpse oil." Wang Tuozi pulled out the eight iron nails one by one, and said to Wei Ning: "Attention, I'm going to raise the coffin, don't let the sun come in!" After speaking, he cast several spells around the coffin, Wang Tuozi looked Stern, because he didn't know what the God of Joy was.

Wang Tuozi opened the coffin, and there was no god of joy inside, but it was a white bone. This white bone is so perfect that people are amazed. Whether it is the skull or the hand bones, there is almost no damage at all. When it starts to rot, it means that the soul of the corpse has passed away, and it is impossible to come out to do evil. Just as Wei Ning was about to put away the umbrella, Wang Tuozi quickly stopped: "Slow down!" Wang Tuozi shook his head and said, "No, no, what's the problem? What's the problem?" He stroked his beardless chin, frowning into the word "Chuan".

Wang Tuozi looked at the bone carefully, and found that there seemed to be a long needle as thin as a hair on the third Adam's apple of the bone. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.Wang Tuozi touched and tapped around the coffin again.Then he said: "It should be like this." After speaking, he turned the bottom of the coffin up. It turned out that there was a hidden compartment at the bottom of the coffin. An old man in his 50s was tied to the bottom of the coffin board with ink thread. In addition, there were five wooden bars tied to his body three times horizontally and two vertically. The rope is opposite to the bone on the other side.

Wang Tuozi explained: "This is a method used by the ancients to trap corpses. It is called three long and two short. The idiom we often say three long and two short refers to this." This old man had a shaved head and was wearing a patchwork from the Qing Dynasty. He looked like he had a high official rank, his hands were tied on his chest, and his face was rosy, but there was also a long and thin needle at his Adam's apple. Wang Tuozi took out a mahogany sword, moved it on the corpse, sighed, and said: "What a subtle technique, this is the method of dissecting corpses of the Black Sect. It has been lost for a long time, and I actually met it here. .”

Wei Ning asked with a puzzled face: "Master, what's the matter? Isn't it just an ordinary god of joy?" Wang Tuozi sighed: "This is the black sect's method of dissecting corpses, which is to separate the human body from the bones, tie the flesh to the yin side, and tie the bones to the yang side, and then use locust wood to connect the Adam's apple. Think about it, Human bones are yang and flesh is yin, and if a person dies, he will be separated from himself by yin and yang, what a miserable thing, and what a torment it will be to him.” Wei Ning understood: "You mean, you mean, this bone and this person are... are... one person?" Wei Ning couldn't help shivering.

Wang Tuozi nodded and said: "That's right, but what a superb technique is to separate such a beautiful human body, especially the human head, there is no way to do it, this technique should be black. I have only heard about the teaching technique, and seeing it today is an eye-opener." Wei Ning said: "Master, what should we do?" Wang Tuozi rolled his eyes strangely: "How do I know that someone entrusted me with such an evil thing, but I, Wang Tuozi, keep my word. If I can drive it, I will drive it away. If I can't, I will drive it away!" Wang Tuozi probed the Adam's apple of the God of Joy, and said, "Wait a minute, I will remove the wood nail, and then seal the three places of the God of Joy's ears, nose, and mouth with cinnabar. You must not move, I will Let’s try to see if we can lift his body, he has no bones, so we can only try it first, if not, we can think of other ways.”

Regarding Wang Tuozi's repeated explanations, Wei Ning nodded quickly, holding the red umbrella in his hand even tighter. After finishing speaking, Wang Tuozi put a talisman on the face of the corpse, then carefully pulled out the locust wood nail from the throat of God of Joy, and then sealed the ear, nose, mouth, mouth and throat with cinnabar. Walking away, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, I took out a bamboo tube from the burden, and covered the whole body of the god of joy with glutinous rice water. This is a necessary means for driving corpses in western Hunan. The corpse poison is released to prevent the god of joy from wandering away.

After finishing all this, Wang Tuozi began to look a little proud, and said: "Teacher, there is also a special way to invite the God of Joy to go down to the ground. Under our feet, every three steps, there is a dark spot, and the God of Joy must come down every three steps." Every step is on this yin point, which is why the God of Joy usually jumps." After finishing speaking, he raised the soul-calling flag in his hand and explained: "We wish you four families, each of which uses different magic tools to exorcise corpses. Your Wei family uses the soul-absorbing bell, the Wu family uses the corpse-expelling stick, and the Fang family uses Xiaoyin Luo to open the way. And our royal family is using this soul-calling flag to guide the way." After speaking, he waved the soul-calling flag in his hand, and changed the spells in his hand continuously, and shouted: "Heaven's destiny is for me, and my destiny is for you. If you are forfeiting me, heaven's destiny does not allow it. The Yinbanner calls for souls, according to your future, you will not fail me, please stand up .” It's a pity that this god of joy shows no sign of a dead body.
