Xu Yunde said: "Wang Daxian, what should we do now? Why don't we go find some kerosene and burn it on fire?"
Wang Changgui shook his head and said: "No, I just took a look in the cave. The positions of the mummies are consistent with the astrological formation. Although it is difficult for me to decipher at the moment, I am sure that this corpse formation is to protect something. There are one hundred and eight mummies.
They are surrounded by stars like stars over the moon, which means that the thing is in the middle of the cave. The method of drawing out one of them before will probably not work. Those mummies will definitely not leave the cave for even half a step!
If we set a fire and burn that thing, wouldn’t we have to pay for it?”
When Xu Yunde heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "I never thought that Wang Daxian was also a member of the same group. I thought that the treasure was guarded by more than a hundred zombies. It must be a peerless treasure. If you get this treasure, you will be rich..."
Wang Changgui curled his lips and said: "I just hope it's Gu Yao Ke, money is nothing to me!"
Liu Ping said: "Then what should we do now? Is it possible to block the entrance of the hole again, and the corpses will continue to sleep underground guarding the treasure?"
Wang Changgui thought for a while and said: "Let's go to Yuma Village first and ask the old man. Maybe we can find a way to break the corpse formation."
The two of them felt that it made sense, so they nodded together and agreed. Then Xu Yunde sealed the entrance of the cave again, and the three of them went down the mountain together.
It was already dark at this time, and the whole mountain was quiet. Only the sound of water flowing in the creek could be heard from time to time. The atmosphere seemed very strange. Occasionally, crows flew by, making it even more disturbing.
The three of them quickened their pace, took the horse and donkey cart and left in a hurry. When they arrived at Yuma Village, Xu Yunde led Wang Changgui and Liu Ping to the door of a house, knocked on the door and said: "Uncle Ma
,Are you at home?”
After a while, the door opened, and an old man walked out. He must be the Uncle Ma that Xu Yunde mentioned. When Uncle Ma saw it was Xu Yunde, he looked impatient and frowned: "You young man
Son, didn’t I tell you, it’s best not to inquire about this matter, why are you here again?”
Before Xu Yunde could speak, Wang Changgui stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said, "Mr. Ma, I am Wang Changgui, the descendant of the Wang family in Ergou Village. I'm here today and I'm sorry for the trouble. I'd like to see Haihan."
When Old Man Ma heard this, he was startled at first, and he hurriedly said: "Are you a descendant of the Wang family in Ergou Village?"
Wang Changgui nodded and said: "That's right. I came to see you today because I actually want to ask you something. Is it convenient for you?"
The old man thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Come in."
After entering the room, Old Man Ma made tea for the three of them. Then he sat on the big chair against the wall, took out his pipe and took two puffs before saying: "The Wang family has been a great immortal for generations. I am lucky enough to meet you today. I am truly lucky for three lifetimes."
.”
Wang Changgui immediately laughed and said: "The term "Great Immortal" is just a false name. My Wang family has only been cultivating Taoism for generations and knows a few superficial things about Taoism. It is not worth mentioning."
Old Man Ma shook his head and said with a smile: "Wang Daxian is too modest. Who doesn't know the name of your Wang family in this world? I just don't know why you came to look for me today."
Wang Changgui knew that this old man was deliberately trying to betray someone. When he saw Xu Yunde at the door, he had already guessed the purpose of his group's visit, but now he asked knowingly. It seemed that he probably didn't want to tell the matter.
Thinking like this, Wang Changgui's mind changed and he said hurriedly: "Mr. Ma, I'll tell you the truth. A few days ago, Brother Xu took a few poor old friends to find a treasure cave. However, they are young and have little work and are single-minded.
I just wanted to hunt for treasure, but I didn’t expect that there were many zombies in the cave causing trouble. Except for Brother Xu who escaped, the other three people all died tragically in the cave."
When the old man Ma heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately looked at Xu Yunde and said, "Where is that treasure cave? How did you know that there was a treasure cave there?"
When Wang Changgui saw that there was a door, he snickered in his heart and quickly replied: "It's in the mountains outside your Yuma Village. Brother Xu saw with his own eyes that there were more than a hundred zombies in the cave. If they got out, the people of that area would suffer.
Ah! Although I have the heart to get rid of the poor Taoist, my moral practice is shallow. I will never be able to kill those more than a hundred zombies with my own strength. Later, I heard that Mr. Ma knows the Taoism of Gu Yao Ke, so I came here to ask you to take action.
Help.”
After hearing Wang Changgui's words, Liu Ping laughed secretly in her heart and said, "Wang Changgui is usually like a mute. He feels tired even if he speaks more than half a sentence. How come he suddenly becomes so eloquent now?"
Xu Yunde on the side also saw that Wang Changgui was defrauding old man Ma, so he stood up and asked, "Mr. Ma, you have seen those guys who died a few days ago. Although they all loved money, they all
They are all good people! Please take action, Mr. Ma, to avenge them."
Old Man Ma was frowning at this time. He looked at Xu Yunde's pitiful appearance and sighed: "It's not that I won't help you, it's just that I really don't know how to do it! That's all, that's it for now.
Let me tell you!"
After Mr. Ma took a few puffs of his cigarette, he told a story that made Liu Ping and the other three people find it incredible.
During the Shunzhi period, there was a strange man named Lu Tianfan in Yuma Village. He could do anything in heaven or on earth. He could turn straw sandals into carp, turn a cauldron into a turtle, and make corpses walk.
What people are surprised about is that he also keeps many zombies in his home. All in all, this man has great supernatural powers.
But Lu Tianfan had no descendants. At that time, Old Man Ma's ancestors worked as servants in his house. One day, Lu Tianfan called the servant named Ma to his room and said something strange to him.
The servant surnamed Ma was not very literate. He only remembered that Lu Tianfan said that all his abilities came from a book called Gu Yao Ke. He also said that he had no children and that his abilities would be lost in a hundred years. Finally, he
He wrote a poem to the servant and asked him to pass it on from generation to generation. If someone who is destined to know the secret of it, that person will be the next successor of the Gu Yao family. Shortly thereafter, he ordered the person named Ma to
The servants found someone to build the cave under the mountain, but no one knew what Lu Tianfan wanted to use it for. Outsiders just thought he was building his own tomb. However, the only one who knew the truth was Old Man Ma, who worked as a servant for Lu Tianfan.
's ancestors.
After telling the story, Old Man Ma took out a piece of yellow cloth from his arms. After unfolding it, he saw that it was wrapped in a piece of cowhide, with a poem sparsely written on it. Liu Ping stepped forward to take the cowhide and read:
