In the 1970s, Jilin University published a book called "Popular Science of Fungi in the World". Because the book sold poorly, it only printed the front page. On page 142 of the book, there is a rubbing on it.
The form records a strange fungus, which is the old face of Huangbai. It is said to be used to summon spirits in the Shiwanda Mountain in Guangxi.
Soul-calling is something that is taboo among the people. It depends on the benevolent. Although I am not a professional Taoist priest or magician, I have seen some things with my own eyes. I will tell you about them when I have the opportunity.
.....
Speaking of which, Boss Sun said the word "call for souls" as soon as he opened his mouth. In addition, he was in the tomb now. Everyone who heard this would feel scared, and a mole would naturally do the same.
A mole took two steps back and glared at Boss Sun: "Boss, can you say something auspicious, don't look at where you are now."
After saying that, everyone stayed away from the fungi on the wood.
At that time, I felt a little strange. The fragrance of nanmu was exuding in this tomb at first, but the wooden mountain made of yellow intestines by the craftsmen of the Western Zhou Dynasty was obviously cypress. The reason why cypress has not rotten for thousands of years is firstly because of its nature.
Wood has certain anti-corrosion properties, and the second is the anti-corrosion layer painted on it. With these two reasons, it can be explained that wood has not rotten for thousands of years.
But...where does the scent of nanmu come from?
Maybe the coffin of the tomb owner was made of nanmu? I'm not sure.
"Let's all search separately. Look for a place where the gaps between the wood are big enough for people to get in. That may be the path left by the craftsmen in the past." Mr. Sun looked at us with a torch and said.
The few people were separated for the time being, and each person was only about six or seven meters away from each other, so they could all see each other.
I held a torch and looked for it in the southwest corner of Mumu Mountain.
"Huh?" I rubbed my eyes vigorously.
I thought I was dazzled because just now I seemed to see a huddled black figure between the cracks in the wood.
He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look.
There is nothing but wood.
After all, I was still young and not very courageous, so I felt a little frightened and took two steps back involuntarily.
"Third brother, eldest brother," I called twice.
The torch only illuminated a small area in front of me, and the surrounding area was dark.
I called twice, but no one answered me.
Swallowing my saliva, I slowly turned back while holding the torch.
nobody.
A mole, Sun Lao Da, Sun Lao San.
All disappeared out of thin air!
At this time, a cool breeze blew from nowhere, and my pupils opened wider and wider.
My lips trembled and I shouted: "Third brother! Big brother! Sister Hong!"
Still no one answered, not even an echo in this confined space.
It was dark all around.
The first reaction in my mind.
Did you encounter a ghost and hit the wall?
When I was a child, I heard the old people in the village often say that ghosts break walls to play tricks on people. If they wander around inside, they will fall to death and drown, and they will keep spinning in circles for the rest of their lives.
I was scared and a layer of cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
"Yunfeng, what are you doing there?" Suddenly, someone spoke to me from behind.
This familiar voice...I will never forget it.
It's the second brother.
"Second brother!" I turned around holding a torch.
There was nothing behind him, just darkness.
I took two steps back with a pale face. I reached out and took out the amulet given by Yao Yumen and held it tightly in my hand.
The amulet in the small Gawu box has the residue of my body temperature, and I feel a little warm when I hold it in my hand.
"Yunfeng! I'm here, come to me quickly," Sun Laoer's voice came again.
I huddled on the ground and blocked my ears, leaning against the wooden mountain, not daring to vent my anger loudly.
I looked around fearfully, trying to find anyone else.
Backing against the wooden mountain, at this time.
I don’t know who grabbed my clothes from behind.
"Ah!" I was so frightened that I got up and ran away.
"Pah." I ran around and felt like I had hit a ball of flesh.
In the darkness, Sun Laosan's face slowly appeared.
"Yunfeng, you're crazy, why are you running around! It hurts me so much," he gasped, gently rubbing his chest with his hands.
Torches emerge.
A mole and Boss Sun appeared in front of me again.
Seeing these people, I almost cried. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said, "Where have you been? Why didn't I see you just now?"
Boss Sun glanced at me suspiciously, "Okay, Yunfeng, don't be scary. We were looking for the entrance just now."
I took a deep breath and said, "Brother...just now...I seemed to have seen my second brother just now..."
"What!"
"Impossible!" Sun Laosan immediately exclaimed, "Yunfeng, where did you see it? There is no one else but us, are you dazzled?"
"No, he's not dazzled..." A mole's face turned a little pale. She looked at Sun Laosan and nodded, "I... I seem to have seen the second child too."
A person may be blinded, but now that a mole and I are saying this, Mr. Sun frowned.
"Yes...is it haunted, brother?" I mustered up the courage to ask.
When a mole heard me say it was haunted, his face turned two points whiter.
Boss Sun looked around carefully, and finally focused on the fungi.
He shook his head and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, it's not a ghost." He pointed to the old cypress faces growing on the wood: "Even if it is a ghost, it is caused by these things."
He looked at me and then at a mole.
"Xiaohong, Yunfeng, haven't you noticed it yet? It was you two who were the first to notice Huang Bai's old face just now, and you were also the ones closest to him."
A mole's brain moves faster than mine. She glanced at those things and said in disbelief: "Boss, you mean... what Yunfeng and I saw just now was an illusion? It's not the real dick, the culprit
Are these black mushrooms the culprit?”
"Yes, I guess that's the case," Mr. Sun nodded.
"After all, it is rumored that this thing is used to summon spirits. It should be normal if it has some psychedelic effects."
I didn't keep my mouth shut at the time, so I subconsciously blurted out: "Well, brother, tell me, could it be that the ghost of the second brother has really been summoned?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sun Laosan slapped me on the back of the head, "Don't talk nonsense! We don't know whether my second brother is dead or not!"
Knowing that I might have said the wrong thing, I apologized and said I was sorry.
Without fussing with me, Mr. Sun said: "Stop talking about useless things. Come with me. I discovered something."
He led us to the left northwest corner of Mumu Mountain.
I noticed it without him having to say it.
Although the wood on the outer layer is the same, looking in from this angle, Huang Chang Ti is placed inside, and the space is obviously a little larger.
Compared to how compact it is elsewhere, one person should be able to fit in here.
From here, you can drill into the wooden mountain and enter the Huang Chang Ti Co.
Use a sharp dagger to pry open the outermost cypress logs little by little.
Boss Sun turned around and looked at us.
"Follow me and speak out immediately if you find anything going on."
