According to Sun Dapeng's recollection, his grandfather was quite good at that time, and he was somewhat famous in the nearby towns, because Wang Dagao had been feeling awkward since he hit a ghost in the General Temple last time. At this time, his son said that his sister was like a woman he carried back, which was even more awkward. What's even more evil is that the child has never cried since the moment he was born. He just kept laughing, and his laughter was so gloomy that he was very cautious.

When his daughter was full of the month, Wang Dagao invited several gentlemen to the house to see him, but the opinions of several gentlemen were very different. Some believed that it was just a mistake to be born. It was not a big deal. Because that year was a yin year and the time when the child was born was also a yin month, the day and the day of the yin hour, so some believed that the child was a yin fetus, and needed to be given a "yang name". Only Sun Dapeng's grandfather thought that the child was a "ghost elixir" and could not be kept.

In Maoshan Technique, "ghost ulterior" is also called "resential fetus", which means that the soul is reincarnated before the resentment is fully released. Such a child is born with resentment, which will bring disaster to the whole family. Since most of the methods of folk sorcerers originate from Mayi and Maoshan Technique, the terms "ghost ulterior" or "resential fetus" are also widely used by folk sorcerers. According to legend, "having ghost ulterior" comes from this.

Although he saw that the child was a "ghost elixir", Sun Dapeng's grandfather did not insist. The reason was that, first, this conclusion was related to human life, and second, his conclusion was very different from the other gentlemen. If he insisted on his own opinion, he was afraid of offending others, so he just secretly mentioned Wang Dagao, and Wang Dagao didn't care. Later, the child named a boy according to the suggestion of a gentleman named Su. Originally, Wang Dagao thought that even if this matter was over, he did not expect that in less than half a year, Wang Dagao's house suddenly collapsed in the middle of the night, and the whole family was smashed to death in the house.

After Sun Dapeng's grandfather heard the news and rushed to Zhuangyuan Village, it was already the fourth day, and the corpse was buried. Although Mr. Su, who named the child, repeatedly emphasized that the death of the four members of the Wang family had nothing to do with the child, Sun Dapeng's grandfather insisted that the villagers dug out the bodies of the four members of the Wang family. Among them, the bodies of Wang Dagao and his wife and children were buried around the General Temple, and the bodies of the daughter who had "ghost ulterior motives" were buried in the courtyard of the General Temple under his command. Finally, a villager suggested burning the temple to avoid recurrence, but was stopped by Sun Dapeng's grandfather, because of the reason: "If the temple is there, the soul will be bound, and if there is no temple, the evil will be dispersed. The General Temple will be demolished. All the evil spirits and spirits gathered here for so many years will be dispersed, and the consequences will be very serious." And this dilapidated temple was left because of Grandpa Sun Dapeng's words.

"Master..." After hearing what Sun Dapeng said, Zhang Guozhong's view of his grandfather changed as time goes by. Originally, Zhang Guozhong believed that most of the people who cheated money by witches and gods in the folk could be said to be phoenix-haired and horned, but now it seems that Sun Dapeng's grandfather seems to be a bit real. Not to mention, if it were not a regular disciple of Maoshan Sect, it would be not easy to know the principle of "the temple cannot be removed", let alone guide the villagers to move the corpse and bury the culprit's "ghost elixir" in the middle of the temple (although the Wang family of four died of undead, their souls were resentful, but they would be reborn in seven days. If the body was buried around the temple or even in the temple, the effect of the Yin Qi vortex would imprison these resentful souls here. Even if these souls cannot be reincarnated, they would not go out to cause trouble). I wonder how such an old man would have such a descendant of Sun Dapeng...

"As you say that, there is still a 'ghost elixir' buried in this temple until now?" Zhang Guozhong asked with a frown.

"I don't know. I don't remember anything when my grandfather died. These are all things I heard from my father before..." Sun Dapeng said, "But I think my father won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If no one digs it later, the child's body should still be there..."

"Wait, let me think about it..." Zhang Guozhong waved his hand and pondered for a moment, "Dapeng, you are waiting for Officer Zhu and the others here, I'll go to the General Temple to see..." In fact, at the beginning, Liu Dongsheng and Wang Youshan judged that the man in black wanted to escape from National Highway 309, and Zhang Guozhong felt something was wrong. The man in black left Zhou Wenqiang's house in the middle of the night. If he really wanted to escape, he had time to return from the road to the village. Why should he hike in the distance for a day and go to National Highway 309 for a long walk? Especially after just now, he discovered that the thorns on both sides of the road in the mountain stream were recently hindered, Zhang Guozhong further affirmed that the man in black fled towards National Highway 309. The purpose is probably not to really "escape", but to have other plans. At this moment, after hearing Sun Dapeng talk about the history of this "General Temple", Zhang Guozhong felt that the General Temple was probably the target of the Man in black.

"Oh Master..." Sun Dapeng wanted to stop him, but hesitated for a moment but did not step forward, "Look at what it does... It's really..."

"Do you call him a master?" Xiao Chen, a police officer sitting on the side, noticed Sun Dapeng's name to Zhang Guozhong at this time, and couldn't help but smile, "Is he your master?"

"Oh...yes..." Zhang Yicheng saw that he was about to reveal his feelings, so he quickly took over the conversation, "Yes, Sun Dapeng originally wanted to take the high school entrance exam, but his father refused to let him farm. Later, his father passed away and he had no money to go to school. My father lived in his house yesterday and thought he was very smart. It would be a pity not to go to college. He was going to support him in high school entrance exam, so he called my dad the master... right? Dapeng?" Zhang Yicheng said while secretly poking Sun Dapeng with his finger.

"Oh...yes! Yes! My master is the best person in the world... I will go to college in two days..." Sun Dapeng reacted quite quickly.

"You...? Get into college?" Xiao Chen held back his smile, "Do you know what the score line in Shandong is?"

"Of course I know..." Sun Dapeng smirked twice, turned around and secretly asked Zhang Yicheng, "What is the score line for..."

Zhang Yicheng collapsed.

The General Temple is about ten minutes away from where a few people just waited for Xiao Zhu. Although the temple is not big from a distance, it is really not small when you get closer. The entire General Temple has about ten rooms, divided into two floors of yards. The courtyard is full of dilapidated and mixed in early years. All the houses are half-timber structures, and most of them have no roofs.

The temple entrance was facing the main hall. There was about twenty square meters, with doors in front and behind. There must have been clay sculptures in the hall, but it was empty at this time. Although the sun was poisonous at that time and the outdoor temperature was at least thirty-three or four degrees, there was an inexplicable shady feeling in the main hall. Standing in the middle of the main hall, Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but fight a cold war, "It's like a place that causes disasters and causes trouble..."

After passing through the hall, Zhang Guozhong walked to the inner courtyard and saw that the houses around the inner courtyard were basically empty. The wormwood in the courtyard was one person tall. At the corner near the bottom of the courtyard, Zhang Guozhong saw an arched hole similar to a dog cave at a glance. The hole was already flat, and only a gap was left. I guess this was the "Yinqiu" used to "open canals and drain Yin" when the temple was built. Theoretically, there should be water in the canal, and rivers or streams outside the temple should also be connected. The reason why this temple became the center of taint and dirt was probably because the small river connected to the "Yinqiu" outside the temple was landfilled due to land reclamation or other reasons.

"Am I worried too much?" After walking around the inner courtyard for a few times, Zhang Guozhong did not find any suspicious places. It seemed that no one had come here recently. "In terms of Yin Qi, this place should be more powerful than in Zhou Wenqiang's vegetable cellar. Could it be that the man in black is not here?" Zhang Guozhong frowned and muttered to himself. Logically, the abandoned temple that can be called "Rotatus" is not everywhere, especially the abandoned temple like the General Temple that has been entrusted with resentment for hundreds of years but has not been damaged too much is not common. If the man in black really comes in this direction, it is unlikely that he will not be able to find the here...

With a full of doubts, Zhang Guozhong returned to the front yard and sat on the steps of the hall facing the temple gate. He was about to smoke a cigarette to rest, but suddenly he found that there was a carved stone pier not far from the right side of the temple gate. He saw that the stone pier was about two feet tall and the shape was similar to the stone pier stool in the park. There was an opening on the surface of the stone pier, and there was a hole as big as a bowl on the top, which was connected to the opening below. The four sides of the hole were black, as if it had been burned by fire.

Originally, judging from the degree of damage on the surface, this stone pier should be a thing that has been old. It would be unlikely that others would notice that such a thing appeared in the corner of such an ancient ruined temple. The reason why this thing attracted Zhang Guozhong's attention was entirely because of the carved patterns on the surface - the Bagua pattern. Although it is unknown whether the "general" was originally tributed to this ruined temple, from the perspective of architectural style, it is generally mainly Buddhist style. The appearance of Taoist patterns in such a temple naturally cannot escape Zhang Guozhong's eyes.

After lit the cigarette, Zhang Guozhong walked to the stone pier. "It's weird..." Zhang Guozhong squatted down and looked carefully at the hole on the top of the stone pier and the ground around the stone pier. He found that the black on the edge of the hole seemed to have been burnt, and there were also some black slags on the ground around the stone pier. The largest one was the size of mung beans, and the smallest one was smaller than millet. They were scattered in groups of three or three in the grass. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it. Picking up the slags on the ground and twisted it with your hands. Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but sweat. These black slags seemed to be minced meat residues fried in hot oil, not only were they sticky, greasy, but also had a sour smell.

When Zhang Guozhong turned around and looked at the carvings on the stone pier carefully, he was shocked again. He saw that the Bagua patterns around the stone pier were filled with many carvings similar to "Sanskrit". Each carving was faintly inlaid with an iron wire.

"Sanchen Yishengzhi...?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned. Although the Maoshan Sect was not the "Danding School", there were some records of alchemy in "Maoshan Shuzhi". The carvings on the stone pier in front of him were not Sanskrit, but a "alchemy pattern" called "Sanchen Yishengzhi", which is said to have a special impact on the elixirs in the furnace. Theoretically, the alchemy device engraved with this curse pattern should be a relatively "high-end" alchemy device that began in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At the end of the Warring States Period, its production process suddenly disappeared for some unknown reasons. At the same time, the alchemy device used by the alchemists also disappeared at the same time and did not appear again. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this alchem ​​device with the "Sanchen Yishengzhi" was once crazyly sought after by some alchemists. However, it is said that most of the alchem ​​devices with this "alchem ​​pattern" on the market at that time were imitations from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Looking at the "Sanchen Yisheng pattern" on the stone pier and twisting the slag in his hand, Zhang Guozhong frowned. Although it is hard to say when the slag on the ground was removed from the ground, it should not be long from the greasy analysis of the greasy that had not yet been air-dried in the slag. It seems that this stone pier should be the legendary "dream" Dantai of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty - "Sanchen Yishengtai". The hollow part inside is ignited and heated, and the hole on the top is used to place a matching slag furnace - "Sanchen Yishenghaofu".

"Is it a fake again?" Zhang Guozhong didn't believe that the "Dantai" in front of him would be the genuine "Sanchen Yishoutai" from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty or the Warring States Period. If it was really the original product from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty or the early Warring States Period, then it seemed that the origin of this man in black was not simple... "Is it because he was refining alchemy here...? What exactly did he want to do?" Zhang Guozhong was confused for a moment...
