Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 387 Golden Light Curse, the corpse is looking at me!

The pale arm looked as if it had been dried and dehydrated.

The epidermis collapsed, tightly wrapping around the uneven muscle tissue.

If you look carefully.

The length and shape of each muscle can be seen through the skin.

Look upwards along the arm that is sticking out of the breach in the coffin.

When you see the elbow joint.

Suddenly I noticed beads of sweat on my arm skin!

Greasy, yellowish beads of sweat flowed down his arms, leaving streaks of sweat on his pale skin.

Do not!

Those don't look like beads of sweat!

The speed of rolling down is much slower than that of sweat beads.

And the marks left on the skin don't look like sweat marks.

I think it's more like oil!

It's the fat inside the corpse that is coming out!

The human body contains fat, which becomes common liquid oil when liquefied.

Usually, when there is a wound in an area with abundant subcutaneous fat, the fat around the wound will easily liquefy, forming yellow liquid oil that emerges from the wound.

However, after death, because a person no longer has the immune system to suppress bacteria, the protein and fat in the body will become a breeding ground for rapid bacterial reproduction.

Bacteria multiply in large numbers and corrode the corpse, forming a sticky corpse fluid and emitting a foul odor.

But like Saito Akihiro.

It is extremely rare that a corpse is not only not corroded by bacteria, but also liquefies the fat and discharges it through the pores.

I continued to look up the arm.

The hand was skin and bone.

The palm bones, muscles, tendons and blood vessels can be clearly seen through the skin.

But what caught my attention most were the fingernails!

All five fingernails are purple-black!

Usually after a person dies, the blood in the capillaries stops flowing, so the flesh under the nails will turn purple-black due to the lack of blood flow.

But the nails outside the nail plate are still normal color.

But the nails I saw in front of me were purple and black all over!

This is the color of the nails changed!

Not only the nail color, but also the nail length has changed a lot.

In my memory, Saito Akihiro's nails were trimmed very neatly.

Of the five fingernails I see at this moment, the shortest one, the thumb nail, is about four centimeters long.

The longest middle finger nail is about six centimeters long.

Each nail is slightly curved and has a very sharp tip.

It doesn't look like a human nail.

Instead, they look more like the claws of a wild beast.

Were these the nails that scratched the coffin just now?

No wonder it makes such a loud noise!

The Taoist priests also stared at the five purple-black nails.

The moment they saw the purple-black nails, their faces turned ugly.

Without waiting for Huang Yupu's instructions.

The Taoist priest holding the Sanqing Bell shook his wrist.

jingle!

The crisp sound of bells echoed throughout the hall.

The eight Taoist priests stepped forward and surrounded the coffin.

The positions they stood in around the coffin were very particular, and they stood according to the directions of the Eight Trigrams.

The Xiantian Bagua is also known as the Fuxi Bagua, and is said to have originated from the River Chart.

In fact, the Xiantian Bagua comes from the divination book "Lianshan" from the Xia Dynasty.

Nowadays, when talking about divination books, the one that everyone is familiar with is the "Book of Changes".

That’s because the only thing that has been passed down is the "Book of Changes".

And before the "Book of Changes".

There are also "Lianshan" from the Xia Dynasty and "Guizang" from the Shang Dynasty.

These three classics are collectively known as the Three Great Yi.

It is recorded in the "New Theory of Correct Classics" of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Lianshan" has 80,000 words and is kept in Lantai, and "Guizang" has 4,300 words and is kept in Taibu.

It is a pity that "Lianshan" and "Guizang" were completely lost during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Except for a small part of these two classics that was absorbed by Taoism and Taoism, the rest of the content has disappeared without a trace.

The biggest difference between the innate Bagua and the acquired Bagua lies in the different directions of the hexagrams.

The innate Bagua uses Qian and Kun to determine the north and the south, which is the pattern of the south of the sky and the north of the earth.

The post-natal Bagua uses Li and Kan to determine the north and the south, and Qian and Kun are not in the four directions.

In practical application, the innate Bagua conforms to the time, and the acquired Bagua conforms to the geographical location.

This led to the divination method of using the innate Bagua to obtain numbers and the acquired Bagua to determine directions.

By the Song Dynasty, the application of the Xiantian Bagua was gradually abandoned because it was too complicated.

From then on, both divination and feng shui were mainly based on the application of the Eight Trigrams.

Therefore, when tomb robbers need to use the Bagua to determine the location of the tomb according to Feng Shui, they must clearly distinguish whether to use the innate Bagua or the acquired Bagua.

Generally speaking, tombs before the Han Dynasty were located using the innate Bagua, while tombs after the Song Dynasty were located using the acquired Bagua.

During the period between the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, two types of Bagua coexisted.

If used incorrectly, you may end up finding the wrong location of the tomb.

Let’s get back to the present.

Huang Yupu raised his left middle finger and put it to his mouth.

He bit his fingers hard with his upper and lower teeth, and his cheeks twitched in pain, and his brows were furrowed.

When I pulled my middle finger out of my mouth, there was a bite on the tip of my finger.

Blood was gushing out.

He bit his back teeth hard and passed his left ring finger behind his middle finger.

Then use your index finger to press the space between your ring fingers that goes around your middle finger, and then place your thumb on the second section of your middle finger.

This is a Laojun secret.

Seeing him making hand gestures, I suddenly had an idea and wanted to learn it.

So I tried to wrap my left ring finger behind my middle finger, but I couldn't move it after wrapping it behind the middle finger.

Even if you use your right hand to bend the ring finger of your left hand, you can only barely get the ring finger to go around the middle finger.

Once the right hand is released, the ring finger of the left hand slides back to its original position.

It is impossible to fix the ring finger with the index finger of the left hand.

I don't know if it's because my fingers are too stiff, or if the fingering technique is too difficult...

While I was fiddling with my ring finger to learn Laojun Jue, Huang Yupu had already walked into the Bagua formation.

He raised his left hand, which was in the Laojun seal, and used his bleeding middle finger to draw talismans in the air above the coffin.

Then he took a half step sideways and began to chant.

"The Mysterious Sect of Heaven and Earth, the root of all myriad Qi, fills and absorbs all calamities, proving my supernatural powers. Within and outside the Three Realms, I alone reign supreme. A golden light emanates from my body, covering my entire being..."

Huang Yupu was chanting the Golden Light Mantra, one of the eight magical mantras of Taoism.

The Golden Light Mantra is more than just a mantra.

There is also a whole set of internal training, secrets, and methods of invocation.

It doesn't mean that just chanting the spell will work.

Instead, he accumulated the golden light and spirit in his body through daily internal training.

When necessary, you can release the golden light and spirit accumulated in your body to exorcise demons and evil spirits and protect yourself.

You can even use the Golden Light Mantra to bless statues, talismans, etc., to achieve an effect similar to consecration.

"Hurry up as a law!"

As the spell was chanted.

I suddenly saw a golden light in front of my eyes.

Golden light really appeared all over Huang Yupu's body!

I suspected that I was hallucinating, so I quickly closed my eyes and squeezed them hard.

When I opened my eyes again, the bright golden light was still there!

This is Taoism?!

While I was surprised, I also wanted to learn his methods.

I just don’t know if Huang Yupu can teach me.

If he doesn't teach me... then I can only go back and try to find Taoist Master Zhang.

The moment I was distracted.

Huang Yupu walked around the coffin.

His gait was very peculiar.

It's not a normal walk.

Sometimes he took half a step and moved sideways, sometimes he turned around and took big steps, but no matter how he walked, he could move steadily around the coffin.

Suddenly I remembered the Yu Bu that Taoist Master Zhang had mentioned in casual conversation.

Huang Yupu must be walking in the Yu step at this moment!

Yu Bu, Jin Guang Mantra, Laojun Jue, plus the Bagua Formation set up by eight Taoist priests.

It should be able to control the corpse in the coffin, right?

I was just thinking about it when I heard a loud bang.

The upper half of the coffin lid shattered with a sound.

Saito Akihiro's body broke through the coffin lid and sat up!

I looked at the corpse's face.

Its eye sockets were deeply sunken, and purple-black tears of blood slowly flowed from the tightly closed eye sockets!

The purple-black tears of blood were the same color as the fingernails.

A strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in my heart.

At this moment, its tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

Its pair of dark green eyes that looked like pus slowly turned and looked at me!

The corpse is looking at me!
