I looked inside the cave and found a bloody smell lingering inside.
The corpse aura is also very strong.
Fortunately, as Bai Jian flew away, the little zombie left.
These are all dead things.
There won't be much danger inside the cave.
I nodded and said, "Okay. I also want to find out their secrets in raising corpses and why the corpse aura of the little zombies is so strong."
I picked up the black cat, put it in a bamboo basket, and then went into the cave with Gu Xia.
The black dog lowered his head and kept sniffing.
The cave is not too big.
After entering, the smell of blood became stronger.
I found a spot and inserted the torch.
What catches the eye is a carefully crafted sarcophagus.
The lid of the sarcophagus has been opened, and a strange red liquid is surging inside.
Under the light of the torch, it still glowed.
It looks like blood.
I looked at the sarcophagus and was stunned for a while, feeling very familiar.
Suddenly, I couldn't help but be shocked and shouted: "The bloody coffin is here!"
The night when the evil spirit Gu got into my body.
I dreamed that I was lying in a coffin of blood and water.
Later, I found the burial place of the five great Gu kings.
I thought it was those sarcophagi calling me.
Now think about it, there is no blood at all in the sarcophagus where the Gu Kings are.
Then, the sarcophagus that appeared in my dream may be the kind of sarcophagus in front of me.
"Xiao Langzhong, what do you mean?"
Gu Xia asked me hurriedly.
"The night when the evil spirit Gu fell on me, I had some nightmares. One of them was me lying in a bloody coffin."
"I was thinking that if my mother hadn't desperately returned to Camellia Cave, I might have been soaked in a bloody coffin and become a murderous zombie."
I said.
Gu Xia looked at me in surprise and suddenly said: "Hey, this blood doesn't look like blood. It seems like it's still moving."
I couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly took a pair of copper nails and dipped them into the blood.
A strange scene happened.
The blood adhered to the copper nails, and then surged upward at an extremely fast speed, trying to crawl onto my hand.
I quickly loosened the copper nails.
The copper nail shook a few times and fell to the bottom of the sarcophagus.
"There is a very small bug inside. It should be red and condensed together, like flowing blood."
I looked at it for a while and said.
I thought about it carefully for a while and said: "They are blood poisonous insects. They are very small. When gathered together, they can flow like water. They can drink human blood. If it is not preserved, they drink the blood on the hanging mummies."
of."
The Secret Records of Witchcraft and Gu records this kind of bug. The blood bug looks like blood and is bloodthirsty to the point of madness.
If you are infected by blood poisonous insects, you will die from blood loss within a month.
However, this blood poisonous insect is afraid of plant ashes.
Generally speaking, when using blood poisonous insects to injure people, just take a drop of it and put it in food or tea, and the purpose will be achieved.
This is the first time I have seen so many blood poisonous insects.
It doesn't take a month for a living person to fall into it.
He might die from blood loss in ten minutes.
I quickly moved my body to protect Gu Xia.
"That's right. Just now I was wondering why the little zombie didn't have any blood spots on its body if it was sleeping in blood."
"It can be seen that he sleeps in the sarcophagus, and the blood worms will cover him. Once he leaves, the blood worms will still stay in the sarcophagus. The blood worms suck the blood of living people and nourish the skin of the zombies."
Gu Xia looked at it for a while and said.
She looked around and marveled: "The layout of this cave is strange. The position of the sarcophagus is set according to the layout of the corpse. The rattan of the camellia forest should have grown and multiplied from here."
The surrounding area of the sarcophagus is uneven.
The roots and stems of the trees and vines are intertwined and undulating, like poisonous snakes entwined together.
I was so surprised that the roots of the tree vine actually grew into the cave.
"Then do these tree vine roots have anything to do with raising corpses?"
I asked.
"Yes. The mummy is hung outside, and the corpse worms in the body will continue to breed corpse energy. Then the corpse energy is continuously transported through the rattan to the sarcophagus, nourishing the zombies sleeping inside."
Gu Xia explained.
I suddenly became enlightened.
It turns out that this is how mummies and corpse worms nourish little zombies.
"Then why is it a wooden corpse among the five zombies?"
I asked next.
"The green dragon in the east is dominated by green wood. The corpse energy is sent here with the help of tree vines. It is naturally a wooden corpse. The five elements change, and yin and yang follow each other. This Feng Shui strategy for raising corpses seems simple. The most difficult thing is the position of the sarcophagus.
.I think the mummies hanging outside and the sarcophagus should be the layout of the five evil spirits raising wooden corpses."
"Five evil spirits raise corpses. The 'sha' here refers to the evil position, not the fierce evil ghost."
"To set up this array involves complicated calculations of orientation, which is no easy task."
Gu Xia thought for a while and then spoke.
She was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so she started drawing on the ground with her mahogany sword.
The position of the sarcophagus, the distribution of trees and vines, and the distribution of the hanging mummies.
Constantly mention "Kun", "Xun" and other Bagua directions.
"This is the Taoist Corpse Raising Formation. I can now conclude that this Ghost King, a man in a bamboo hat, once studied Taoism in Longhu Mountain."
Gu Xia finally came to a conclusion.
I gained a lot and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Miss Gu, you are really knowledgeable and talented. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to figure out the clues in this. I scratched my head and couldn't figure out the five elements.
The mystery of the corpse.”
Gu Xia laughed happily: "I just read more books when I was a child. You are talented and smart. As long as you read a few books on this subject, you will definitely figure it out. If I have a chance, I can also teach you."
"Okay, then you can give me a reading list. If you have time, please also teach me the Five Elements and Bagua, Liang Yi and Four Symbols."
I said happily.
Grandma's collection of books mostly contains medical records, but there are very few books on Yin Yang and the Five Elements.
So, this is my shortcoming.
Gu Xia is a female Taoist priest who practices in Sanqing Mountain. She knows a lot about this aspect and can teach me.
The appearance of the Five Great Gu Kings made me realize that Gu techniques can also be divided according to the five elements.
Learning this knowledge will definitely be helpful to me.
"Then, if I smash the sarcophagus and then smash the roots of this tree vine, will the evil array where the five evil spirits raise the wooden corpse be destroyed?"
I asked Gu Xia.
Gu Xia thought for a while and said, "It should be okay."
I first cut off the roots of the vine.
Then pile the roots and stems of the tree vines together and make a fire to burn the tree vines. The wood ash obtained can be used to deal with blood poisonous insects.
During the free time from burning wood ashes, Gu Xia and I searched the cave.
Among the pile of rocks, a skeleton was found.
From the shabby clothes, I found a pamphlet that read "Seven Magical Powers to Exorcise Corpses".
"This skeleton should be Bai Jianfei's body. He is lucky enough not to be turned into a tool for raising corpses."
I quickly determined the identity of the skeleton.
"Judging from the title of this book, it looks like a secret guide to exorcising corpses. How do you plan to deal with it?" Gu Xia asked me.
