Yin Changsheng

Chapter 17 Inversion of Yin and Yang
Although it is not the twelfth lunar month of winter, the water in this Tan is flowing, and it is bitingly cold to jump in.

Jiang Li kept covering my mouth and nose to prevent me from breathing. I was so nervous that I didn't even bother to open my eyes. The sound of water was all around me. I don't know how long it took until the sound of water disappeared. When he could feel that I was going to faint, Jiang Liti slipped me out of the water.

I was shivering from the cold, but the surrounding area was pitch black, and I couldn't see any light, so I grabbed Jiang Li next to me: "Master, it's so dark here."

"Follow me." Jiang Li dragged me a few steps, but I didn't know what to do, a few candles beside me were lit, and the dim light illuminated the place.

Only then did I see the scene in front of me clearly.

Behind me was a pool, and the water in the pool was still rippling. The place we were in was a sealed stone cave, about two meters high and three to four meters wide, and there were traces of man-made chisel around the cave.

I wrapped myself in wet clothes and shivered, Jiang Li glanced at me, bent down and picked up the only one piece of clothing from the ground beside him and handed it to me: "Take off the wet clothes, put this on."

I took the clothes and asked Jiang Li: "Why are there clothes here? There is only one piece, Master, aren't you cold?"

Jiang Li smiled: "It will take at least a year to excavate this cave, and no one in the village has discovered it for such a long time. The person who excavated the stone wall must have lived in it, and the clothes are left by the person who excavated the stone wall. .”

Jiang Li didn't say whether he was cold or not. While he was talking, I also changed into dry clothes. Jiang Li just wrung out the water on his Taoist robe and said, "We're going to look ahead, follow me closely. , don’t get lost, the terrain here is complicated, and if you make a wrong step, you may be lost.”

There are a lot of candles on both sides of the cave, which were left by the people who dug the cave in the past. Apart from these, there are some life debris. I have lived in this mountain village for so many years, and I don’t even know the end of the ditch. There is also such a stone cave.

Even the elderly people in the village didn't mention the cave.

"Master, what is this place?" I couldn't stand the dead silence here, so I broke the silence and asked, and my echo came from all directions in the cave, which seemed particularly terrifying, and subconsciously grabbed Jiang Li's clothes.

After I asked, Jiang Li stopped because there was a vertical branch in front of him, one on the left and one on the right. Jiang Li looked at it for a while and said, "There are 3608 kinds of Taoist Nine Palace Formation. How to move, once you enter the Nine Palaces Formation, there are only [-] ways to leave the Nine Palaces Formation, once you make a mistake, it will be very difficult to get out again."

Five thousand and forty correct moves sounds like a lot, but compared with the total moves, this number is so small that it can almost be said to be hopeless.

I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, listening to the echo coming back from this channel.

Jiang Li looked at the two entrances left and right, and said by the way: "I can't think of anyone other than the head teacher of the Dragon and Tiger Sect who can complete the Nine Palace Formation. This Nine Palace Formation is very likely to be placed by your grandfather." down."

Although I haven't been able to get a glimpse of the whole picture of the Nine Palaces Formation, but I think it's a huge project. How could my grandfather carve out this huge project with his own strength?Naturally, I don't believe it.

Jiang Li sized it up, squatted down, drew a nine-square grid on the ground, pointed to the middle grid and said, "Nine palaces are usually in the middle palace, and this is the position. What the Nine Palaces want to do, you have to go to the middle palace. But there are too many induced passages around here, it is easy to go to other directions, you must follow my footsteps."

I kept Jiang Li's warning in mind, then pointed to the Jiugong grid he drew and said, "Then how do we get out?"

"The Nine Palaces Formation can be entered but not exited. The way out is definitely not the way we came just now. If we entered from the Qian Palace, we should exit from the Xun Palace. You just follow my instructions." Jiang Li threw away the stone in his hand. Standing up, he took out a copper coin from the capital, threw it up and then threw it on the ground, then pointed to the direction pointed by the dry words, "Go this way."

"Is it important?" I asked him.

Jiang Li smiled: "Personal hobbies, follow the guidance of heaven, completely random."

I was speechless. I followed Jiang Li for about ten minutes, and finally saw the first fork in the road. I didn't know where the fork in the road led. Such a large Jiugong Formation was dug up without knowing it? It’s a bit puzzling.”

I looked at the dark passage and said, "Master, let's go quickly, it's scary here, and it's cold behind us."

Jiang Lien said: "Try your luck."

After speaking, he led me into the fork in the road and walked for a few minutes. The passage ahead became wider and wider. I looked around in horror, while Jiang Li focused on lighting the candle next to him.

When the candle was lit, I froze for a moment, pulled Jiangli, knocked my teeth and said intermittently, "Master...Master, there are red hairs on the ground..."

The passage is surrounded by red hairs, about five centimeters long, and there is a strange smell in the air here, which is consistent with the smell of some old tombs.

Jiang Lien said: "I saw it."

After I finished speaking, I looked up, and I was so scared that I sat down on the ground.

In front of it was a stone room of tens of square meters, surrounded by rusty shovels and hoes, and the red hair on the ground was piled up to knee height.

On the top of the stone chamber, there are densely packed corpses hanging upside down. Their feet are embedded in the stone wall on the top. The corpses have different clothes, but their bodies are uniformly black, and the red hair on the ground just fell from them. of.

I was so frightened that I almost fainted on the spot. I have never seen this kind of scene. There are at least one or two hundred corpses hanging upside down.

Seeing my eyes turning white, Jiang Li knocked on me: "What are you afraid of, they are all stuck in the stone wall and can't move." After speaking, he smiled again, "I understand, your grandpa is using these actions to The corpse created such a Nine Palace Formation, and after the Nine Palace Formation was completed, they were sealed here, this kind of method, as expected, only a person at the level of a celestial master can do it."

I straightened my tongue and said with difficulty: "Are these all red-haired ghosts?"

Jiang Lien said: "Yes, zombies don't have souls, they need to absorb goblins to walk, and now their feet are stuck in the stone wall at the top, they can't absorb energy, so they lose the ability to move, and the red hair on their bodies will slowly fall off , this method is called inverting yin and yang. No wonder there were so many red-haired ghosts in your town during that time. It turned out that your grandpa recruited them. But the wind blows and rains above, and the red-haired ghost's feet will occasionally be exposed outside. People in your village will reach out to pull the red-haired ghost's feet when they find out. The sound is similar to the lowing of a cow."

What Jiang Li said is basically the same as the legend of the red-haired ghost that was circulated in our village. It is said that after it rains, the red-haired ghost burrows its head into the soil, leaving a pair of feet outside, and stretches out its hands to pull it out. There will be a cow bleating, but it will disappear after that. It should be that grandpa found out and dealt with this mistake by means.

The stone wall is supported by logs so that it will not collapse, and there are many talisman papers pasted around the stone wall, which are used to suppress these red-haired ghosts.

"How far are we from the Zhonggong?" I didn't want to stay here for a second, thinking about the hundreds of corpses above made my heart palpitate.

Jiang Li said: "Dryness is the sky, and the air of the earth is isolated. This should be the Qiangong Palace, and the front of the Qiangong Palace should be the Zhonggong Palace. Don't be afraid of them, we just walk over there."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he stepped forward, and I immediately followed.

However, after only a few steps, there was a bang sound from behind, Jiang Li immediately pressed my shoulder, and shook his head at me: "Don't look back."

I nodded graciously.

Because I have felt it, there is a person standing behind me.

Jiang Li stared at me for two seconds, then suddenly turned around and kicked, only to hear a dull bang, and a heavy object fell hard to the ground.

I looked back, but saw a guy with red hair all over his body, staring at us with bared teeth, Jiang Li's kick just now didn't have any effect, he quickly got up again.

"It seems that in order to prevent others from coming in, your grandfather deliberately left a zombie guarding here." Jiang Li said, pulling me behind him, "Stand behind me."

When I got behind him, Jiang Li and the red-haired ghost looked at each other. The red-haired ghost is an unconscious thing. It is impossible for Jiang Li to frighten him like a ghost. In less than three seconds, the red-haired ghost suddenly jumped up. jump over.

Seeing that he was about to pounce on Jiang Li, he stayed in mid-air, his feet dangling in the air, and could not move. He took a closer look, but it was Jiang Li who reached out his hand early to grab his neck, and pressed his thumb against his chin. He even opened his mouth. can't do any actions.

"Just because of your little jerk, you dare to act presumptuously in front of me." After Jiang Li finished speaking, he squeezed his hand hard, and with a click, the zombie's neck was cut off by him, and he punched him hard in the throat. At the end, a puff of black air spewed out from his mouth, Jiang Li threw the zombie aside, and there was no movement at all.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and urged Jiang Li to leave quickly, but Jiang Li looked up at the shaved red-haired ghosts hanging on the stone wall and said, "I can't leave for now."

As soon as the words fell, the corpse aura just now entered the mouths of these red-haired ghosts, some of them opened their eyes and began to struggle.

I was flustered and shouted: "Master, let's go quickly."

Jiang Li said, "Go ahead and wait for me, I'll go find you right away."

I definitely can't help him here, he told me to leave and I naturally wanted to leave, so I ran forward, stopped when the light was completely out of sight, and turned back to wait for Jiang Li.

At this moment, the stone room suddenly heard the first bang, and then the fire came, and it exploded.

My body went limp immediately, because Jiang Li was still there, trembling towards that place, Jiang Li is so powerful, he definitely won't have any accidents there.

I only walked a few steps, but there was a hand on my shoulder in the dark: "Stinky boy, what are you doing? I told you to go forward, why are you running back?"
