my weird life.

Chapter 1180 Three tombs on Taipingding (22)

The wheels rolled on the soft soil path, leaving behind winding and intermittent ruts.

The wormwood on both sides of the path swayed in the wind, disturbing the clouds in the sky.Some grass stems were bent down by the dark wind and lay across the path. They were also slowly run over by the mules and carriages, grinding the grass stems into the dust and mud, and mixed with the dark earth.

The large swaths of wormwood here were bent down by a sudden gust of wind, thus revealing the ruins of the several archways in front that looked withered and desolate in the darkness.

Those severely damaged archways were built on a gently rising slope and were connected in a line.

The old coachman drove the blind mules and horses past the badly damaged archways.

The writing on the plaque of the archway has long been completely weathered.

Even the carvings on the stone pillars are all mottled and unclear.

Su Wu sat on the paizi car and passed by the broken archways with no useful clues, only some incomplete stone pillars and pillar foundation stones. He felt more and more the vastness of the historical torrent. The history it carries should be thousands of years old.

High and low winds passed under the severely damaged archway.

Below the archway, the wormwood swayed like a rolling sea.

In front of the memorial archway, the wormwood is getting sparser, and the majestic and steep mountain shadows lie across the end of the gentle slope. Endless graves with sparse wormwood grow along the slope, and each grave is directly connected to the top of the mountain. In the shadow of the mountain, I don’t know its end.

A desolate, lifeless atmosphere enveloped the place.

The desolation here even overwhelms the flowing breath of the underworld.

The mules and carriages passed under the archway, and the wheels rolled over the pitted ground covered with dark stones without making a sound.At this point, even the old coachman shut his mouth and stopped singing or talking.

Su Wu raised his head and looked at the huge and majestic mountain shadow behind the archway, then lowered his head and looked at the old coachman sitting in front of the Paizi car.

Could it be that the other party wanted to send the goods in the car all the way to the mountain?
In this case, the journey would be too difficult and dangerous.

I don’t know how he persisted...

Just as he was changing his mind, the mule cart passed the second archway.

The majestic mountain shadows that lay behind the last archway still spread out at the end of the earth, but the scene Su Wu found himself in suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.

The slowly ascending long slope seemed to have been climbed by a mule and carriage.

Su Wu turned around and looked back, and saw the long gentle slope laid out behind the mule and carriage.

The originally long distance seemed to be easily 'folded' by the second archway, so the mule and carriage could climb the long gentle slope so easily.

At this time, a smooth road spread out in front of the mule and carriage.

Large tracts of pitch-black trees spread their teeth and claws on the dark earth, each trying their best to stretch their canopy.

Tombs surrounded by stones and bricks, covered with lush vegetation, stood in the gaps between the dark trees - Su Wu looked at the scene 'behind the second archway' and suddenly felt that it was very familiar - —

At that time, he and Uncle Xuanzhao seemed to have buried Gui Cha in a similar area?

Even the tomb where he could distinguish the 'strange things'!

Riding a mule cart, he actually arrived at the place where the 'Gui Zai' was originally buried?

Su Wu supported the side of the platoon cart and watched the mules and carriages passing through the tombs, even the tomb of 'Guizha', all passing by him. He became more and more certain that this was where he and Master Xuanzhao were. A place I've been to before.

Now that he was 'revisiting his old place', he didn't feel any joy in his heart, only a strong sense of strangeness lingered in his heart.

The mule cart passed through this area full of big trees and tombs, and passed through the last archway.

Behind the archway, the majestic mountain shadow stretched across the end of the earth and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The biting mountain wind blew from afar, and the old driver on the mule cart tightened his clothes.

Su Wu looked around - they were already at the top of the mountain!
The mountains and valleys all around seemed tiny and dwarfed.

'Will be the top of the mountain, look at all the mountains and small'!
The damaged archway at the end 'folded' the rugged and dangerous mountain road, allowing the mule cart to pass under the archway and reach the top of the majestic mountain!

Some stone-paved platforms are scattered and overlapping on the top of the mountain.

Several gloomy wild locust trees spread their branches from the mountain wall, their dark leaves fluttering in the cold wind.

More wild trees are lush and green, covering the stone peak that looks like a pillar supporting the sky. On the left and right sides of the stone peak, there are many soul-calling flags, and the paper flags flutter in the cold wind, making a hunting sound.

The mule carriage stopped at a stone platform. The old coachman got off the mule carriage, walked around to the back of the carriage, and untied the ropes that bound the 'swollen female corpse'.

With his own strength, he could not unload the female body lying on the car. He also made no extra moves to unload it from the platoon car. After untying the rope, he leaned against the side of the car and placed it. Waiting quietly.

Su Wu also jumped out of the platoon car silently. He raised his head and looked at the stone peaks that were like pillars supporting the sky. On the stone steps that were obscured by the hazy mist, there was a man with his hair tied up in a bun. A middle-aged man wearing a black cloak and a blue cross-collar robe underneath walked down from the stone peak, passed through the stone steps, and walked through the road with countless soul-calling flags on the left and right. .

On the side of the road with countless soul-calling flags, several stone statues wearing straight robes shook off the stone chips all over their bodies. They dug their iron swords and spears into the stones and pushed a pair of wheels with black hoops. A large iron cart with a black coffin on top followed the middle-aged man in a black cloak and approached the mule carriage.

The wheels with heavy black iron and rivets rolled over the stone platform, making a creaking, creaking sound.

When the old coachman heard the sound, he immediately raised his head and faced the middle-aged man who was leading the stone statue on the cart. A flattering smile appeared on his face: "Sir, the little old man has already brought the things here... …”

"Ok.

I saw.

Well done, daddy. "The middle-aged man nodded and spoke a few words back to the old coachman. He waved, and the freely moving 'stone statues' behind him walked to the side of the mule cart and lifted the 'swollen female corpse' lying on its back on the mule cart. He moved it up and put it into the coffin on the cart they pushed over, and sealed the coffin lid.

Su Wu watched the movements of these stone statues, his eyelids twitched, and he suppressed his words.

"This is today's wages.

Please keep it away, father-in-law. "The middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples and still handsome appearance took out a silver ingot and handed it to the old coachman.

The old coachman caught the ingot of silver, but as if he felt that the silver was hot to his hands, he stuffed all the silver into the middle-aged man's hand, and said with a surprised look on his face: "Why, why are there so many this time?
The little old man just helped you pull the car back, and it's really not worth your money.

Just a few copper coins will be enough, a few copper coins will be enough..."

"The goods delivered by my husband this time are different from those in the past, and they are of great significance to us." The middle-aged man explained with a smile, and there was a hint in his words, "So I should pay my husband more. And, After delivering the goods this time, I will probably never hire my husband to help me pull goods again.

——What we need, you have really brought us here now.

This ingot of silver can be considered my parting gift to you!
With this ingot of silver, by the time you die, you and this old mule and horse will have enough food and clothing, your descendants will be virtuous and filial, and you will have no worries. "

"Will there be no such job in the future..." The old coachman looked a little sad.

The middle-aged man thrust the silver ingot into his palm again, and he never refused.

This ingot of silver is estimated to be five taels.

If the family saves some money, the old coachman will be able to have enough food and clothing until he dies.

Su Wu looked at the silver ingot in the old coachman's palm - the silver ingot looked real, but gave Su Wu a 'fake' feeling - it was this silver ingot that was real and fake. It is said that the old coachman can have enough food and clothing with the old mules and horses until the end of his life, without any worries.

"You gave me so much money as a farewell gift, but I have nothing to give you..." The old coachman clutched the silver and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man stretched out his arms, tied him up, and said: "You have given us the best gift.

Father-in-law, you and I owe nothing to each other.

Just go back. "

"Eh……"

The old coachman finally got on the mule cart, and the old mules and horses took him slowly to turn around and walk slowly towards the archway down the mountain.

Compared with the effort that came when the old mules and horses turned around, it was obviously much easier.

I wonder if it was because the previous mule cart carried some extra weight that was not part of the 'cargo' it was originally intended to transport.

The mule and carriage disappeared at the top of the mountain in an instant.

The middle-aged man turned back, frowned and looked at the dark coffin on the cart pushed by the stone man, and said: "With your accumulation, you can only find an empty grave in the wormwood in Shannan for burial. How can you be arrogant?" Buried at the top of a mountain?
Although you have meritorious service, this meritorious service cannot lead to your being buried on the top of the mountain.

Go down the mountain! "

The swollen female corpse in the coffin seemed to understand the middle-aged man's words. When the middle-aged man made arrangements for its burial place, the strong smell of incense mixed with the "evil charm" of "Satan" suddenly came out of the coffin. It emanated from it and pushed open the sealed lid of the black coffin. The billowing incense of strange charm spread out of the coffin and turned into bloody arms, grabbing and grabbing in all directions!

Seeing this, the middle-aged man shook his head, took out a thin book, tore off a piece from the book, and pasted it on the coffin lid——

Bang!
The coffin lid is completely sealed!

The strange scent of incense that overflowed from it was gathered back when a book page was pasted on the coffin lid, and was tightly sealed in the coffin!

Su Wu stared at the page attached to the coffin. There was only one word written on the page - 'Seal'!
But this character is not written in Chinese characters, Yunji characters, or Kuai characters, but a mixture of various characters to form the "Zhengqi Fu character"!
This middle-aged man has mastered the 'Rightness Talisman'? !

Who is he? !

Could it be King Su? !

When Su Wu's mind was spinning, the middle-aged man turned his head, glanced at him with a half-smile, and then said to the stone statues on the cart: "Bury the corpse in the coffin to 'Taoshan' go.

It originally had meritorious service and should be buried in "Haoli", but it wanted to be buried in "Taipingding", so it was wrong.

The merits and demerits are equal to each other, so go wherever you should!
——There are those 'immortal souls', 'immortal corpses', 'strange corpses', 'straight god statues', 'straight god corpses', 'side god statues', 'side god corpses', etc. on the road. If you ask, That's how he answered. "

The stone statues didn't respond, they just pushed the coffin on the cart gradually away.

The middle-aged man watched them go away, and then walked across the road lined with soul-calling flags, along the mountain steps, towards the top of the mountain that looked like a pillar in the sky.

Seeing this, Su Wu followed him.

This middle-aged man was not a living person, but within Su Wu's perception, he was not a 'dead thing' either.

The middle-aged man Su Wu saw was in a very strange state. He existed in the underworld as a "sexual soul", but he was not infected by the breath of the underworld. There was no trace of the underworld on his sexual soul. .

Even if this person is not the 'Su King', he must be deeply involved with the 'Su King'.

Su Wu followed the middle-aged man and approached the peak like a pillar of heaven step by step. When he was approaching the peak, he saw clearly that there were three characters of righteousness carved on the peak - 'Taipingding'.

"Taipingding, the top of Mount Tai, this is the old name.

After the Ming Dynasty, Taipingding was renamed "Yuhuangding". "

While Su Wu was staring at the pillar-like mountain peak, the voice of a middle-aged man came from in front of him.

He looked up at the figure of the middle-aged man on the mountain steps in front of him and asked aloud: "Is this Mount Tai?"

"Taishan Daizong left a picture in the underworld." The middle-aged man said.

Su Wu lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then asked him: "Is it appropriate for the Satan Xiangyang to be buried in the 'Taoshan' that your Majesty pointed out?"

"Just right."

While he was talking to the middle-aged man, the stone steps under his feet seemed to turn into a python with slippery scales - he stepped on these slippery scales, and with just a slight thought, he followed the middle-aged man. , climbed to the top of the main peak of Mount Tai in a moment!
"Peacetop."

“Only the Lord of the Underworld can be buried here, and the rest are not allowed to overstep his bounds.

That's why I said that the 'immortal corpse' wanted to bury itself on Taipingding, which was a huge transgression and a big mistake.

Among those 'statues of straight gods', the 'direct descendants' who have the closest relationship with the Lord of the Underworld cannot bury themselves in Taipingding. It is too wishful thinking for an undead corpse with all the ghost tendons on its head to live in Taipingding. "The middle-aged man planted a soul-calling flag on a lonely, extremely low grave mound next to the top of the mountain.

There is a tombstone standing in front of the grave mound.

The writing on the stone tablet has been scratched away by the endless wind of the underworld.

But since this tomb is erected on Taipingding, its identity is already clear, it must be the 'Lord of the Underworld'!
On the side of the tomb of the 'Lord of the Underworld', two tombs were dug out.

The bluestone in a tomb was covered with thick dust. Apparently it had been excavated for an unknown number of years, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated in the tomb;
The tomb chamber in the other tomb was just excavated, and it was clean inside, with no dust accumulated at all.
