Chapter 996: The World is a Great Grave

"We grave robbers dig graves, and finding the dragon and pointing the hole is the first priority, especially for this kind of fierce land and strange hole." The Yu Yu Jiuyou General stroked his beard and shook his head: "Not to mention whether we can find the location of the tomb, even if we find it, if we don't point the hole accurately, there is a huge risk."

"Originally, these three great ghost graves should have been pointed by our ancestors using secret methods."

"But since there is a high-level person like the Daoist here, I won't show my ugliness!"

Saying this, the Yu Yu Jiuyou General pinched three pillars of sandalwood incense and handed them to Tonshen old Daoist with his sleeves: "Please point the hole, Daoist!"

Tonshen old Daoist pondered slightly, took the sandalwood incense, calculated with his fingers, and said: "The Old King's Mausoleum and the Noble Consort Tomb both have witchcraft and curse objects to suppress them, so it is impossible to calculate the flaws of their Eight Gates and Four Pillars. Only the Zhongguan Grave, although the Zhongguan who was loyal to the previous dynasty was buried, and the one who built the tomb was also a high-level Shaman master of this dynasty, but after all, the status is limited, the specifications are not high, and it all depends on the natural Feng Shui situation. I have a few points of certainty."

"Need to find a black dog born in the Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour, with four pillars belonging to Yin, born in the same womb of six, and biting each other until only one is left..."

"Just like this?" The Yu Yu Jiuyou General was a little surprised.

Tonshen old Daoist said firmly: "Just need this..."

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General had no difficulties. They are grave robbers who often walk in fierce lands and do this kind of work of digging graves. It is inevitable that they often prepare some strange species.

Among them, chickens and dogs are the most common animals to restrain evil spirits in the tomb.

A rooster born in a Yang year, Yang month, Yang day, and Yang hour, and a black dog whelped in an Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour, are the Golden Rooster and Black Dog mentioned in tomb-robbing secret arts; one restrains Gu insects and zombies, the other restrains evil spirits and ghosts.

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General ordered it, and not long after, someone came back holding a half-grown black dog.

It was a mountain-walking dog, with a black head, black tail, black feet, and black tongue. Even its big, dark, round eyes were covered by blue eyes instead of white ones.

Although it was a ghost mastiff that was the only one left of six, it didn't look fierce, but instead stretched out its tongue to lick the Yu Yu Jiuyou General's hand.

Stroking the black dog, the Yu Yu Jiuyou General hesitated for a moment and said: "Daoist, does this method hurt the harmony of heaven?"

Tonshen old Daoist smiled: "Rest assured, this is a proper method of seeking qi in the Daoist school, not some evil way of blood sacrifice witchcraft."

After saying this, he took a string of copper coins from his arms: "Although the three great ghost graves are extremely dangerous, there are not a few who have ideas about it and escaped by luck. This string of copper coins was a tip-off from a grave robber who died in the Qinghe Pawnshop on North Street ten years ago. The main pawn was a medicine jade pendant, which came from the Liuli Factory of the previous dynasty, and it was clearly something from the palace. The shopkeeper of Qinghe Pawnshop was a connoisseur, and he could see that the grave robber had provoked evil spirits, so he used the method of sealing and suppressing treasures by the pawnshop to bury the copper coins and the pendant under the first brick at the threshold of the pawnshop, using the noble qi of the coming and going nobles to suppress it."

"I made a bet with the second shopkeeper before I won this thing back."

Tonshen old Daoist took two copper coins in his palm, performed a magic of seeing money and opening eyes. The five black dogs didn't know what they saw, and they were so scared that they retreated again and again, whining, but they were still caught by the old Daoist by one leg and dragged over, and then the two copper coins were placed on the eyes of the five black dogs.

He blew a breath into the eyes of the money, and the copper coins full of rust and green were deeply embedded in the black dog's eyes, as if they were going to drill into its flesh.

The little black dog wailed, was put down by the old Daoist, and it turned around in a hurry. The copper coin sank deeper and deeper, until it almost replaced the two eyes, and the little black dog ran wildly into the mountain.

Although the Yu Yu Jiuyou General felt distressed, he couldn't help it at this time, so he had to call people to follow.

The group followed the mountain path, chasing the little black dog for nearly half an hour, not knowing how many desolate graves and wild lands they had passed, before arriving at a hillside about half a mu in size where miasma was rising.

That is a depression on the mountain slope, with messy grass and trees around, and scattered broken bricks and stones can be vaguely seen.

The little black dog was small and ran fast, and it disappeared when it came here.

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General led people to rush over, and Tonshen old Daoist followed closely with the three pillars of sandalwood incense. He looked around this open space, and his brows frowned, just because the situation here is particularly strange.

The so-called sleeping cow in the mountains can be sealed as a marquis.

The slope land in the mountains is difficult to store water and soil, and there is always collapse and mud flow. The so-called dragon and snake walking, if there is a place to hide wind and gather qi, it must be the flat place where the old cow walks the mountain and can lie down.

This kind of place, even if the vision is open and the wind comes from all sides, can light a candle, and no matter how urgent the mountain wind is, it will not be blown out.

This open space is such a place to hide wind and gather qi.

The sandalwood incense in Tonshen old Daoist's fingers only had three flickering incense heads left, but when it arrived here, the residual incense curled up and didn't dissipate at all, which shows its strangeness.

But... the Feng Shui here is another strange thing. As long as you look down, it is a piece of desolate graves and wild tombs.

"Found it!"

The subordinates who followed the Yu Yu Jiuyou General scattered to find the black dog. I don't know who heard the sound of digging soil nearby, and a hole was turned out in the wild grass, and then a stick was used to poke into it.

A black shadow rushed out.

The people in the ghost opera troupe all called out and went up to block it.

Until the shadow stopped, everyone was shocked.

That was indeed a big black dog, but it was an adult black dog.

A black face, the hair around the mouth was dirty and messy, dyed red with dirty blood. The long mouth held a human head that had been chewed alive. The black dog had a big meat tumor on each of its eyes, which turned out from under the eyelids, like a pair of blood eyes, with fierce light overflowing.

It rushed to the post and looked down at the crowd surrounding it. The skull in its mouth was pitted, and it pulled out its tongue and ate it.

Half of the chin was dangling, and even though the grave robbers were well-informed, seeing this scene couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.

"What a fierce evil dog!"

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General stepped forward slowly. The meat tumor in the wild dog's eyes trembled, and the fierceness in the blood eyes was fully revealed. With a howl, it rushed out. The figure was like a shadow in the dark night, disappearing in a flash. A grave robber who was blocking it suddenly screamed, and his entire arm was torn off.

This black dog doesn't know how many dead people it has eaten. Not to mention the corpse poison on its body, the meat tumor in its eyes also has a name, called "Luo Sha Blood Eye"!

It allows it to enter and exit between life and death, and even evil ghosts are afraid of it by three points.

With a stare of the blood eye, it captures the soul and takes the soul, and even ghosts and gods will be bitten by it.

Several water and fire sticks smashed toward the appearing black dog, but they only smashed into the air. Another scream, and among the people brought by the Yu Yu Jiuyou General, another person had his stomach bitten open and his intestines pulled out.

The black dog pulled the intestines and rushed out for dozens of feet, dragging the person to death in the mountain alive.

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General's face was ugly, and he drew his knife to end the two people rolling and screaming on the ground.

Even if it was just an arm torn off, there was blue-black corpse poison surging on the face, and it would soon turn into a zombie.

The black shadow flashed again.

The short Fan Cun opened his right hand, and a golden light flashed, forcibly smashing the big black dog that had merged into the darkness into shape.

At this time, Tonshen old Daoist raised his hand, and three incense heads were hit. The black dog wailed in mid-air, limped after landing, and before it ran three steps, it was stabbed into the ground by the Yu Yu Jiuyou General with the flag behind him.

Several people on the side swarmed up and pressed the black dog with water and fire sticks.

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General leaned over to take a look. It was pierced through the heart by the short spear of the flag, but the black dog still didn't die, and its fist-sized claws kept digging on the ground.

Tonshen old Daoist also walked up, looking at the black dog that was three circles larger than an ordinary dog and didn't know how many dead people it had eaten to be so fat and strong. A stench rushed to his face, and the old Daoist covered his nose and said: "This thing has become a climate, I'm afraid it can already escape the earth. If it weren't for the general using the black gold flag to break its magic, it wouldn't be left behind. And it is half zombie and half evil spirit, and it can't be killed easily!"

"Take the torch!" The Yu Yu Jiuyou General just ordered, but was stopped by Tonshen old Daoist: "No, this thing is full of corpse poison, and the poisonous smoke burned cannot be avoided."

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General sighed: "Daoist is right! But our brothers also have a way to deal with this thing!"

He gritted his teeth fiercely: "I know that Zhigu doesn't raise idlers, but I didn't expect it to be so mixed with dragons and snakes. Even a wild dog in the graveyard is fiercer than the zongzi in the king's tomb. Before seeing the grave, I lost two brothers!"

After saying this, a brother took something, the Yu Yu Jiuyou General reached in, grabbed a green powder, opened his mouth and blew, and a large piece of phosphorus fire fell.

The black dog's corpse was burned cracklingly, stiff like armor, and the skin and flesh that could not be pierced by knives and guns rotted and fell off in the phosphorus fire, only revealing white bones.

Later, the white bones were burning in the green fire. Even though the black dog was still struggling, it gradually became quiet.

Tonshen looked back at Fan Cun.

The black dog is not a mortal thing. Although he used the Tonshen thought to break its ghost escape, the one who really broke the black dog's Luo Sha blood eye and beat it out of the Netherworld was Fan Cun's mirror light.

Tonshen old Daoist clearly noticed that the golden light on Fan Cun's right hand had a faint sense of majesty, hitting the black dog like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and even with his escape technique, he would be broken if he hit this golden light.

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General cleaned up the aftermath of the two dead brothers. The black donkey hoof was stuffed into the mouth, glutinous rice was applied to the wound, and then yellow talisman was pasted to suppress the two corpses that were about to turn into corpses.

At this moment, the sound of digging soil came from behind again.

Everyone was scared to lift their magic weapons, knives, swords, and water and fire sticks, only to see a little black dog jumping out from a grass pile in the depression where the wind was hidden and the qi was gathered, holding a skull in its mouth, wagging its tail at them.

Two copper coins fell down.

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General went up to pick up a water and fire stick, pushed aside the wild grass, and saw a hidden grave-robbing hole, pitch black, leading directly to the bottom.

The little black dog on the side gave a milky woof.

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General smiled bitterly: "Daoist has good skills, this little black really found the Zhongguan Grave for us."

At this time, the Yu Yu Jiuyou General and his party, who knew the power of the three great ghost graves, didn't dare to go down easily, so they started a fire next to the grave-robbing hole and made preparations.

Tonshen old Daoist held the skull and studied it for a while before opening his mouth: "This person has been dead for about forty years! He is a man in his prime, and he should also be a peer of yours. The skull is loose, and the evil spirit is hidden in it. He didn't die peacefully!"

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General sighed and invited out a small shrine.

Tonshen old Daoist took a look. The shrine was like a coffin, divided into two layers of coffin and outer coffin. The statue was hidden inside, faintly revealing a depth that made him dare not breathe.

"I don't know which god the general is worshipping?"

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General sighed slowly: "For us grave robbers, the tomb is like a temple, the coffin is the god position, and the corpse inside is naturally the god."

Tonshen old Daoist's heart sank: "Could it be that this Dao path worships the 'Corpse' among the Twelve Sichen?"

He opened his mouth and suddenly asked: "The god you worship, isn't it the 'Xuanjun' worshipped by the Xuanzhen Sect?"

The Yu Yu Jiuyou General raised his head and smiled: "Daoist, don't be suspicious. Although we also worship Xuanjun, we are ultimately different from the Xuanzhen Sect. Xuanjun is the corpse of the universe and the truth of the world. Although there are not many Dao paths that believe in Him, there are not a few."

"It is heresy that the Xuanzhen Sect believes that Xuanjun and Mingzun are one body."

He looked up at the pitch-black mountain and river world in front of him and took a deep breath: "The reason why we worship Xuanjun is that we know that this world is a great grave, and life and death are difficult to distinguish. Living in the world is like grave robbing. Our end is to see the coffin, and our goal is to steal the supreme treasure from it."

"Others are mediocre, and the Dao path goes to the end, but it is just breaking out of the grave!"

"Can you walk out of the great grave of heaven and earth, and can you walk out of life and death?"

"Only by stealing through this great grave of heaven and earth layer by layer, finding the corpse of Xuanjun, can we see the truth and obtain the treasure to return to life." ===== CHAPTER 997 =====
