Chapter 46. Coffin

Hu Zongren told the other party on the phone that the case in the school was the one you deliberately pushed to me to make me do it, right? Are you also a member of the Xuanyuan Society? May I ask which sect you are from? That's what Hu Zongren said.

It’s more grand, there are countless Taoist branches, and the Xuanyuan Society is a club meeting exclusively for Taoists. Since the case handled by the school this time is related to the Baji Seal on the body, then the other party is naturally inextricably linked to the Xuanyuan Society.

Relationship.

The other party said on the phone, you don't need to care who I am, I just happened to help connect the Baji Seal on your body with this matter. Hu Zongren asked, what does it mean to connect? The other party said, it means you are determined.

There will be a test to pass at a certain moment, and if I don't come to relate to this test, it will become your own destiny. If you can't pass it, it only concerns you. But since I have it in my hands

Such a case is just related to you. I couldn't help but ask, so you were also involved in placing the Baji Seal on Hu Zongren's body?

The other party heard my voice, sneered again, and then said, you really found a helper. If I guessed correctly, the person speaking should be the brat from the Wu family that Senior Yao mentioned, right?

Many people in my life have called me a brat, so I didn't say that many times. However, the "Senior Yao" that the other person said caught my attention. I quickly recalled all the people I knew who could be called "Senior Yao".

The old-timer couldn't find anyone with the surname Yao. So I answered him, I am Li Yifan, Hu Zongren is my good brother, his business is my business, and I am naturally obligated. He

He said, Okay, you are so loyal. This is the third level. There are still five remaining levels. After passing it, come and show off your friendship to me.

Hu Zongren said loudly, who are you? You are hiding in the dark and firing guns. If you have the guts, come and show your sword with me! The other party said, my surname is Ma, don’t you all know this? If you want to find me

, just make sure your cell phones don’t run out of battery. After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang. When I was thinking about what to do, Hu Zongren suddenly picked up the phone again and called out. I only heard his anxious expression.

I called Teacher Huang in a tone of voice and asked Teacher Huang who this person was. If it was inconvenient for you to disclose it, could you please give us the contact information of the "friend" who introduced Master Ma to me? Teacher Huang was probably

I also noticed Hu Zongren's anxiety through the phone, so this time he didn't continue to make things difficult for us. Instead, he sent a message quickly after Hu Zongren hung up the phone.

According to what Teacher Huang said earlier, he found Hu Zongren because a friend of a friend introduced him, and the "friend" at the end was Master Ma who called today. Teacher Huang also gave the contact information of the friend in the middle

We, so Hu Zongren couldn’t wait to call. But the result was regrettable. The person on the phone said that he and Master Ma were not very close friends, but something happened to his family before.

I asked Master Ma for help and consulted, and found out that Master Ma is a knowledgeable and capable person, nothing more than that, and he has very few contacts. When Hu Zongren went further to inquire, the other party began to ask questions and had no idea. After hanging up the phone,

, Hu Zongren received a message again, and this message was sent by Master Ma.

The content of the message is an address, and I am familiar with this address. Because I have often gone to that area for a long time. The place in the message is at a certain number in a certain village in Hualongqiao. I saw the address.

At that time, I said to Hu Zongren, do you still remember that the two of us had a heated argument with Sha Wudao throughout last year? The earliest beginning of this matter has something to do with the address on this information. So I simply

I explained to Hu Zongren that I followed Master Situ’s instructions and found Mr. Wei’s air-raid shelter and his altar not far from Hualong Bridge. I said it was quite early now, so we would go directly to that place.

Let's look for it. Since Master Ma has told us the address, he must be asking us to go there to find something. This may be a clue to the Baji Yinkun position on your back.

Hu Zongren didn't speak, just nodded, so the two of us drove towards Hualong Bridge.

Hualong Bridge is an old place name in Chongqing. It is said that during the Jingnan War in the early years, Emperor Jianwen once fled to Chongqing. The pursuit of Jin Yiwei left him nowhere to escape and could only hide in temples. The temples here,

It refers to the "Baolun Temple" now located in Ciqikou Ancient Town, Shapingba District, Chongqing. The former name of Baolun Temple was called "Longyin Temple", which refers to the fact that Emperor Jianwen lived in seclusion in this temple. Emperor Jianwen fled.

On the way to Longyin Temple, the first place we passed was Hualong Bridge. Hualong Bridge once had an ancient city wall, but it was abandoned among weeds and shrubs due to its age. Even people living in that area no longer

Few people who have lived their whole lives know the specific location of the city wall root. According to legend, when Emperor Jianwen passed the city gate, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers guarding the city from recognizing him, he prayed to the Buddha before leaving the city. As a result, the Buddha appeared and let him know.

He crossed the sky and the sea and left the city. Later, this place was called "Hualong Bridge".

During the Anti-Japanese War, due to Chongqing's special terrain, the Hualong Bridge area was mostly covered with uneven hills. Because Chongqing was located on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, on the south side of the Jiange Shu Road, it would be difficult for the Japanese to enter from any side, so to

From beginning to end, they were unable to reach Sichuan. Chongqing served as a companion during the Anti-Japanese War. Many dignitaries and celebrities, including Chiang Kai-shek, were in Chongqing, as well as many military industrial enterprises. So the Japanese thought that since the army could not enter, then I would bomb it.

, which could also greatly undermine the momentum of the Nationalist Government of China at that time. So sporadic bombing of Chongqing began for several years. In order to prevent being killed by bombings, air-raid shelters were dug in almost all the mountains in Chongqing, and the most concentrated air-raid shelters were

It's the area around Hualong Bridge.

So before Hu Zongren and I rushed there, I vaguely felt that this address was actually an air-raid shelter. Because although there were many old houses in that area, most of them would not just mark the address with such-and-such village number, but should

It is a certain village, a certain community, a certain number. According to the geographical habits of Chongqing, this kind of number exists alone, either as a facade facing the street, or as an air-raid shelter converted for civilian use.

Hu Zongren and I asked around near Hualong Bridge, and it took us a while to find this place. Sure enough, it was an air-raid shelter. To be precise, it was a row of air-raid shelters lined up on the roadside, and the surrounding caves were all rented out to

Merchants are used to operate motorcycle accessories or repair businesses. This type of air raid shelter is relatively short inside and not dug very deep. It is also the oldest civil defense project in Chongqing. However, because the people at that time were kind and honest,

Therefore, this cave has not been in danger of collapse for more than half a century. When we arrived, the air-raid shelter indicated on the address had the rolling shutter door tightly locked, and the surrounding businesses were still open, so in this situation

Next, we didn't know if we should break in. Hu Zongren suggested that we call Master Ma first. Since he asked us to come to this place, there is no reason for us to leave empty-handed. I looked up

I looked at the sign above the opening of the air-raid shelter. The original spray-painted cloth on the sign had been torn off. The torn-off mark was quite new. It must not have been very long. I considered that I might have to secretly find a way to pry open the door later.

, so we didn’t ask the surrounding merchants what this store used to do.

After Hu Zongren got through on the phone, he told Master Ma that we had arrived at this place but the door was locked. It was impossible for us to pick the lock in broad daylight in full view of everyone. He wanted Master Ma to give a hint, or to open the door quickly if he was inside.

, Don’t wait too long. Master Ma sighed, as if Hu Zongren was a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved, and then said to Hu Zongren, the key is hidden under the crack of the rolling shutter door. You should at least look for it first before calling.

Come on, you really have disgraced your master. After saying that, he hung up the phone again. When Hu Zongren called again, he had already turned off his phone.

I am a little shorter than Hu Zongren, so I asked Hu Zongren to help me keep an eye on the outside, and I lay down and touched in the crack of the door. From the crack of the door, I saw light, which meant that the lights were not turned off in the cave.

, and at the same time, it seemed to be telling me that someone deliberately turned on the lights and locked the door, waiting for Hu Zongren and I to arrive. After I touched the key, I squatted down, and then opened the rolling shutter door.

Hu Zongren and I entered the cave in a flash, and then I quickly pulled the door down, but did not lock it. When I turned around to look at the situation inside the cave, the entire cave was empty, and there were cabinets on the ground that had been moved away.

There is a trace of 2007 on the wall. There is a dim incandescent lamp swaying on the top. The shadows of Hu Zongren and I also sway. On the ground facing the incandescent lamp, there is a square

Square, covered with red silk, a computer keyboard-sized box.

When Hu Zongren was about to see what it was, he was stopped by me. I said don't worry, there might be a ghost inside. According to my experience, in this type of air-raid shelter, there is a small dark place at the end.

Cave is the cave. Dark caves are usually dug into the mountains, so there is occasionally underground water. Even if there is not, it can provide enough moisture for the entire air raid shelter. But when I found the dark cave, I found that it was covered with cement and bricks.

, it was tightly sealed. Judging from the degree of cement solidification, it was at least several years ago. I then returned to Hu Zongren and said, let's open it and see what it is.

Since Hu Zongren and I were both people who had been tricked by others, it was inevitable that we were a bit guilty. Hu Zongren found a piece of incense and used it as a stick, and picked up the red silk cloth on the box. Only then did I see clearly that the silk

Under the cloth is a brown-red, coffin-shaped urn. The meaning of the coffin to the Chinese is very unique. It originally had the auspicious meaning of "promotion and wealth", which is why many urns adopt this shape, for the sake of blessing the future generations.

People, get promoted and get rich.

Hu Zongren asked me, would there be a lot of hidden weapons flying out of this coffin as soon as I opened it? I rolled my eyes at him and said, have you watched too much TV with Zhang Jizhong? He chuckled, and then we both squatted down.

Now open the coffin lid.

After opening it, I saw several things inside. The most eye-catching thing was the plastic doll. It was the kind of doll that people my age played with when they were young. Their eyes would open on their own when they stood up or lay down.

Or closed. What's strange is that one of the doll's eyes has disappeared, leaving a dark eye hole, and the clothes on it are dirty. I looked carefully and saw those dark-colored eyes.

If you guessed correctly, they should be dried blood stains. In addition to missing an eye, if you look closely, this doll is also missing a finger and the sole of its right foot. The posture of the doll in the box looks like

It looks like a person is lying in a coffin, and there is a talisman on the doll's forehead. Hu Zongren and I both know this talisman. It is a talisman commonly used to seal the soul. The doll's hands are wrapped around its abdomen, and the hands are pressing

A piece of red paper. Hu Zongren glanced at me, stretched out his hand and pulled out the paper. We saw a few lines of words written on it:

"The cave of Hongyadong, the gate of Dongshuimen. The rock of Hutouyan, the city of Jiangbei City."
