Chapter 253 Blood Coffin Beach (4)
The brothers of the engineering company were digging hard at the bottom of the pit and talking in low voices. Standing nearby, I could hear them clearly.
"Hey, why does this soil smell like blood?"
"Yes, yes, look, brother, the soil down here seems to have been poured with plasma!"
"There isn't a bloody man buried under here, right?"
Although they kept talking, they did not stop working. They kept throwing shovels of fishy-smelling soil up.
After a while, the people below started shouting and yelling, saying that they had dug up something big, it seemed to be a ceramic human head.
Boss Liu hurriedly told the brothers to stop for the time being! After observing for a while and seeing nothing unusual, he ordered only the engineer company commander and a few others to stay and carefully dig it up from below, making sure not to damage it; the other brothers came up to rest.
After a while - after all, there are many people and many hands, maybe the pottery man will be damaged in a few seconds!
The engineer company commander led a few people to dig slowly, and finally dug out a complete pottery man!
Boss Liu asked them to carry the pottery man up and study it carefully to see if they could find some clues from the pottery man.
This pottery figure is very tall, ten feet long and about four feet thick. It has a very strange shape. It has complete limbs and five senses, and its whole body is black and red.
Boss Liu ordered people to wipe off the dirt on the pottery man, then went to the river to get water to clean it. He squatted in front of the pottery man and looked at it carefully.
The workmanship of this pottery statue is not exquisite. There seems to be a thin line in the middle from head to toe. I don't know how it was kneaded and fired in the first place. In short, it is very ugly.
A few of us, including Mr. Liu, couldn't find anything wrong with it after looking at it for a long time, let alone its origin. Ordinarily, if this was an ancient tomb, there would be no such big thing buried with it!
At this time, an engineer who was standing behind us and had been observing Tao suddenly shouted: "Report to the battalion commander, we really can't dig any more down here!"
"Oh? Why? Did you see something wrong?" Boss Liu stood up, looked at the engineer and asked in shock, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to the battalion commander, I am subordinate to the platoon of the engineer company, platoon leader Huo Wannian!" The engineer stood up, saluted, and replied loudly.
"Okay, Platoon Leader Huo! Tell me, why can't we dig further?" Boss Liu looked at the very strong platoon leader curiously.
"Report to the battalion commander, this is called one dragon and three appearances. The monster we just shot to death is the first appearance, and the pottery man now is the second appearance. If we dig further, there should be the enemy chief and the ghost head below!
" Platoon Leader Huo said very confidently.
"What do you mean by one dragon and three appearances?" Boss Liu asked solemnly.
"Report to the battalion commander." Before the platoon leader finished speaking, he was interrupted by Boss Liu with a wave of his hand. "Brother, please don't go back and forth to report. If you have something to say, say it directly. Don't go around and around.
set!"
The platoon leader grinned, touched his head sheepishly, and then said very bluntly: "One dragon appears three times. Now it mostly refers to dividing a dragon-shaped pattern into three parts: dragon head, dragon body and dragon tail when drawing pottery paintings."
The sections are drawn and displayed separately, and the middle is often hidden and separated by auspicious clouds; but its real origin is a term derived from the branch of Wumen!"
At this moment, we were all stunned!
It is said that heroes are born regardless of their origins, strange people come from poor families, dragons are crouching in the shallows, and pearls are hidden in the grass. I never expected that there are such knowledgeable masters in our engineering company. It seems that there are really strange people among the people!
After hearing what the platoon leader said, Boss Liu was very interested. He turned around and arranged for the other brothers to rest where they were for a while. He then invited a few of us to sit on the grass. He specially sat the platoon leader Huo next to him and said with great interest.
Asked: "A branch of the Wumen? What branch of the Wumen?"
Platoon Leader Huo lit a cigarette for each of us, took a few long puffs, and then introduced: Hey, our Chinese state has countless sects since ancient times. In addition to Buddhism, Taoism, and White Lotus, there are also all kinds of unimaginable sects.
There are so many side sects! And even one sect has different sect branches in different places.
For example, even the most popular Buddhism now has many branches and sects. As far as I know, there are ten major sects, such as Huayan Sect, Tiantai Sect, Consciousness-only Sect, Three Treatises Sect, Pure Land Sect, Zen Sect, Vinaya Sect, Tantric Sect, etc.
Jushe Sect, Chengshi Sect; as for our native Taoist sects, there are even more! In addition to the Jishan Sect, Fulu Sect, and Jindan Sect, there are also Longmen Sect, Laoshan Sect, and Suishan Sect in different places
sect, Yushan sect, Huashan sect, Yushan sect, Heshan sect, Huoshan sect, Wudang sect, etc.
If divided by people, there are Shaoyang sect, Zhengyang sect, Chunyang sect, Ziyang sect, Chongyang sect, etc.
Of course, what we know is mainly divided according to the masters they worship, such as the four major sects of Tianshi Tao, Quanzhen Tao, Lingbao Tao and Qingwei Tao.
"Stop, stop, stop! Brother, you are so good at talking. Let's talk about these things later when we have time!" Boss Liu saw that Platoon Leader Huo was eloquent and gushing, so he immediately interrupted him with a wry smile, "Liu admires me, brother."
But now we still have to do business. What does the Wumen branch you mentioned at the beginning have to do with this Tao man?"
"Hey, I'm sorry, Battalion Commander Liu! I didn't tell you about the main sects just now. I'm afraid you won't accept it easily. There are many branches of small witchcraft sidelines!" Platoon Leader Huo touched his chin and continued.
He said, "There used to be a side branch of the witchcraft sect called the Hidden Corpse Sect."
"What? The Corpse Hiding Sect? There is such a side branch of the witch sect!" Boss Liu said in surprise, "Is this Corpse Hiding Sect also a harmful cult?"
"No, Commander Liu, this corpse-hiding sect only focuses on the art of immortality, and its teachings are not harmful!" Platoon Leader Huo hurriedly explained, "Really! I will not lie to the commander!"
"Ha, the art of immortality? Are you, Platoon Leader Huo, also a believer in the Corpse Hidden Sect? Listen to your name, Huo Wannian. When I heard it, I thought you would live for ten thousand years! You have already lived for ten thousand years.
Isn’t this considered immortality?” Mr. Liu laughed loudly.
"Hey, hey, I, let me tell you the truth, my ancestors are all believers of the Corpse Hidden Sect, but what they pursue is indeed longevity and longevity, and they will never lie to others or harm others!" Platoon Leader Huo admitted sheepishly.
"Good boy! No wonder you are familiar with this thing. You can be regarded as a descendant of the Corpse Hiding Sect. Since you know better and we have been doing it for such a long time, then take a good rest and tell us in detail.
!" Boss Liu asked everyone to have a good rest, then sat with us and listened to what Platoon Leader Huo said: To be honest, all my ancestors, Huo Wannian, believed in that and were all loyal believers in the Corpse Hidden Sect. But here we are.
In my whole life, I am unwilling to pursue that ethereal thing. I only want to fight with swords and guns to fight thousands of households.
However, after all, it is something taught by my ancestors, and I am relatively familiar with the Corpse Hiding Sect.
In fact, the Corpse Hiding Sect, like other religions, also believes that the human body is like a house, which is only for the soul to live temporarily. When a certain time comes, it will be driven out of the house by ghosts and gods and enter heaven and hell, or continue reincarnation.
Therefore, at the end of life, although the house (body) is not damaged, the soul can still be taken away by ghosts and gods.
The teaching of the Hidden Corpse Sect, which is different from other religions, is that since the soul is the master and the body is the house, as long as the soul and body are tightly bound together and hidden so that ghosts and gods cannot find and take them away, then one can almost live forever.
.
Therefore, the Corpse Hiding Sect has a very mysterious corpse hiding curse, which can imprison the soul in the corpse, just like locking a person in a cell, making it impossible for him to come out.
Then he hides the body with the soul, and comes out every hundred years to live another life. When he is about to die, he hides the soul again and hides the body for another hundred years, in order to seek eternal life.
Of course, if the house is extremely dilapidated, that is to say, the original body has aged and is no longer useful, then you will need to find another house, which means finding another corpse, and the cycle continues, just like people change houses!
Why does it have to be hidden for a hundred years before it can come out? It is said that in the underworld of the Yin Dynasty, if there is a soul that has not been captured, ghost missions will be sent to look for it; if it is still not found within a hundred years, it will be found in the underworld.
Canceling someone from the Yin register is just like declaring someone dead if we can’t find him or her for a long time in the earth.
"I said Platoon Leader Huo, brother, I am not a disciple of the Hidden Corpse Sect, and I don't understand all the things you say, so just tell us, what are one dragon and three manifestations? This person will definitely know
Why do you say you can't dig any more? How about this? Let's talk about the other things some other time. To be honest, Platoon Leader Huo, you are so good at what you said!" Brother Dasha interrupted.
"Yes, yes, brother Dasha is right! Although what you said, Captain Huo, is powerful, there is no way to verify it. You can't believe anything about hiding a body and hiding a soul or immortality - unless you make it clear
Tell us what is at the bottom of this pit, so that we can believe what you say!" Xiao Li echoed, "Back then, Qin Shihuang was so powerful, and all the magicians in the world were driven by him, and he even sent Xu Fu overseas to find some elixir.
In the end, why not rely on salted fish to cover up the smell of corpses?"
What Dasha and Xiao Li said made Platoon Leader Huo blush!
"Okay, you two don't want to watch Platoon Leader Huo's jokes. Platoon Leader Huo will tell you what's going on in this pit right away!" Boss Liu seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but in fact he was trying to kill Platoon Leader Huo's army.
, "I said Platoon Leader Huo, brother, you are knowledgeable and eloquent. Now tell them two what exactly one dragon and three appearances are, and what is buried under this pit, so that they can be convinced.
!”
Of course, Platoon Leader Huo understood what Boss Liu meant, coughed twice, and then went straight to the point and started talking: One Dragon and Three Appearances are the sect masters of the Corpse Hiding Sect. Before they die, they arrange two very loyal disciples.
Use the corpse-hiding curse and bury one on top as a protector to protect his body and soul from being harmed by external objects. The one you just shot to death was one of his disciples; this is the first appearance.
The second manifestation is to put the other disciple into the human-shaped pottery, use spiritual plasma and egg white honey, seal the two halves of the pottery tightly, and bury it in the second layer deeper; this is considered the second manifestation.
The bottom is where the master's real body is, which is considered the third manifestation. Just like a dragon plunged headfirst into the earth, the top is the dragon's tail, the middle is the dragon's body, and the bottom is the dragon's head.
This is the one-dragon-three-appearance method taught by the Corpse Hiding Sect. Each level is more powerful than the next, and the bottom one is the master-level master of the Corpse Hiding Sect who has lived for several generations.
After listening to what Platoon Leader Huo said about one dragon and three appearances, although we couldn't completely believe it, what he said was realistic and seemed to make some sense.
"Platoon Leader Huo, you mean to say that there is a corpse among this pottery man, and it is more powerful than the one we just killed?" Boss Liu asked solemnly at this time.
"Yes, Battalion Commander Liu! If you are right, there is a living corpse inside the pottery man! That is, a corpse whose soul has not escaped!" Platoon Leader Huo answered decisively, although what he said was miraculous and bizarre,
He had a serious expression on his face.
"Ha, Platoon Leader Huo, Platoon Leader Huo, brother, I want to believe you! But you have to tell me one thing first. There is no opening for such a human-shaped ceramic, so where can the body be put in?" Dasha
The brother looked at the pottery man and asked.
"Brother, didn't I just say that? This pottery man is divided into upper and lower halves. After the man is put in, the other half is covered, and the middle is tightly joined, and then the egg white, plasma and honey are used.
It's smeared tightly and sealed very tightly. No ghosts or gods can smell the breath of a living person, otherwise it's still a corpse-hiding sect!" Platoon Leader Huo argued eagerly.
After listening to Platoon Leader Huo's words, we stopped talking and looked down at the middle of the pottery figure carefully. Sure enough, we found a thin line in the middle, just like a carpenter's molding line.
It's just very small, plus there's something smeared on the outside, it's really very delicate.
"Platoon Leader Huo, it seems you are right! There may be something weird sealed inside. How about we get rid of it first?" Boss Liu arranged for Dasha to say, "Brother Dasha, go ahead.
Get a big knife and chop off its head!"
Although there is no shortage of swordsmen and guns in our regiment, those of us did not bring a simple knife. Brother Dasha borrowed a sharp military shovel from the engineering company and was about to do it.
"Wait a minute! Xiao Li, you guys are all ready to shoot. If that thing is like the monster under the wooden wine sea, you must shoot it immediately to avoid getting into trouble!" After Boss Liu arranged for all of us to take aim,
Signaling Brother Dasha to take action.
