After returning to Fengyang County, because it was a little late, I washed up directly and then went to bed.
The next day during the day, I spent the whole day reading the books that Master left for me at my desk. After dinner, I drove the broken bread to Anqingguan.
"Are you ready?" Seeing Yi Ba packing things in the room, I asked him.
“It’s almost done.” Yi Ba picked up his green cloth bag and said, “Let’s go!”
I drove the broken bread and took Yi Ba to Wuqing Mountain . During the last explanation, Old Man Kong asked us to go to his home first, and then go to the tomb of the Ninth Princess together.
The door of the small hut was open, but Yi Ba and I shouted several times, but we didn't hear Old Man Kong's response.
"Where did Old Man Kong go? Did he leave us alone and go to the tomb of the Ninth Princess alone?" I looked at Yi Ba with some confusion and asked.
"Probably not." Yi Ba frowned and said, "Let's wait and see."
After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, Old Man Kong came back humming a song, his In his hand, he held a black bag.
“Where have you gone?” I asked Old Man Kong with some curiosity.
"Going to Princess Nine's tomb is no small matter. You have to be fully prepared." Old Man Kong pointed at the black bag and said, "There are life-saving things in it. If you don't bring it, I won't dare to take you to the tomb."
“When shall we set off?” Yi Ba asked.
“Wait a moment, burn a stick of incense before leaving.”
Old man Kong went to the back room and invited a statue out. What kind of statue was it? I didn’t see it, because the statue had a , covered with a piece of red cloth.
After the invitation came out, Old Man Kong put a stick of incense on the statue, knelt down and bowed three times, and also muttered for a while. I didn't hear what he was reciting.
After doing this, Old Man Kong took us off.
On the road leading to the tomb of the Ninth Princess, Old Man Kong would scatter a piece of paper money every few steps he took. Yi Ba told me that this was paper money paving the way. The purpose of scattering this paper money was to tell the wild ghosts on the roadside not to follow.
It is quite dangerous to enter the Ninth Princess Tomb. If those little ghosts on the roadside follow us, they will definitely cause trouble!
After walking forward for a while, I found that the path Old Man Kong took this time was a strange-looking path that I had never walked before.
“Isn’t it the same route we took last time?” I asked Old Man Kong.
"There is more than one road to the Nine Princess's Tomb, but if we want to go to the tomb today, we must take this one." Old Man Kong took the words and said: "Wuqing Mountain is not peaceful. When you first came here, , I said, we can’t let the things in the mountains know about our visit to the Ninth Princess’s Tomb, otherwise it will cause trouble for me. The paper money from Lu Sa, in addition to opening the way as Yi Ba said, also means to keep it secret. If you take my money, you have to keep your mouth shut. If anyone spreads it, I will settle the account with him. "
In front is the Tomb of the Ninth Princess. The Tomb of the Ninth Princess tonight looks a little different from the last time we came here. The tomb of the Ninth Princess was covered with a cloud of white mist, and the entire tomb looked a bit misty.
"White smoke on the tomb is not a good sign!" Yi Ba muttered this after staring at the tomb of the Ninth Princess for a while.
"It is indeed not a good sign, but since we are here, we have to leave this tomb no matter what." Old Man Kong said.
When we walked to the entrance of the tomb and were about to go into the tomb, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"What do you want to do?"
I turned my head and looked behind me, and found that it was Tao Jiajia who came out of the woods.
"Why is it you?" I asked Tao Jiajia in surprise.
"The tomb of the Ninth Princess is not accessible. I advise you not to go down." Tao Jiajia said seriously.
"What are you doing here?" Old Man Kong asked Tao Jiajia after looking her up and down.
"Wu Qingshan is not your private territory. I can come here whenever I want. Can you take care of it?" Tao Jiajia said that there was indeed nothing wrong with it. After hearing this, Old Man Kong said nothing more.
"You'd better not cause trouble." Yi Ba warned Tao Jiajia.
“You are the ones causing trouble, okay?” Tao Jiajia gave Yi Ba a roll of his eyes and said, “I warned you anyway, if you insist on going down to the tomb of the Ninth Princess to die, I will too. Can't stop it."
After saying this, Tao Jiajia went into the woods.
“It’s really surprising to meet Tao Jiajia here!” I said.
"I always feel like Tao Jiajia is doing something in Wuqingshan." Yi Ba frowned and thought about it.
"Let's do our own business first! As long as Tao Jiajia doesn't cause trouble, we don't need to worry about her." Old man Kong took out a candle, lit it, and then took Yi Ba and me, Entered the tomb of the Ninth Princess.
Before, I thought it was just a layer of white mist outside the tomb! Unexpectedly, after entering, the tomb was also foggy. Although the candle in Old Man Kong's hand was burning, it seemed to be of no use. Apart from a small spot of fire, there was only a vast expanse of white in front of us.
“We can’t see anything, what are we doing in the tomb?” I asked Old Man Kong.
“Let’s go down to the tomb and talk about it.” Old Man Kong replied to me.
Because the fog in the tomb was so thick, I could only follow the small fire lit by the candle in Old Man Kong's hand. After walking for about ten minutes, the small fire stopped.
“Are you in the tomb?” I asked.
"Yes!" Old Man Kong responded, and then said: "You two don't say anything for now, I will drive away this miasma."
"The heaven and earth are natural, and the filthy energy is dispersed; in the cave Xuanxu, shining in all directions. God, make me natural; the spiritual treasures and talismans inform the nine heavens; the cave is too mysterious; the demons and evil spirits are slain, and thousands of people are saved..."
The direction of the small fire point is passed down. The sound of chanting a curse came, and the person chanting the curse was naturally Old Man Kong.
I don’t know much about incantations, so I don’t know what incantation Old Man Kong was reciting, but after he recited it for a while, the miasma in the tomb seemed to slowly fade away.
My eyes were completely white just now, but now it looks much clearer than before. If nothing else, at least I can see the stone walls of the tomb.
The sound of the curse stopped, and the miasma in the tomb has basically dissipated. I looked through the entire tomb and found that there was nothing else except the portraits of the nine princes I saw last time. The entire tomb looked similar to the last time I came here.
"You won't let me read the fortune tellers of these nine princes again, will you?" I pointed at the portrait and asked Old Man Kong.
"You have seen the appearance of the Nine Prince Consort once before. Even if you look at it again, you won't see anything new." Old Man Kong said.
"Then what are we doing here?" Yi Ba paused and said, "I saw this tomb last time, and there really isn't anything valuable."
"I didn't do it last time, but not this time Same." Old Man Kong said.
“What’s different?” I looked at Old Man Kong in confusion and asked.
“Look at these miasma hairsprings, does it look like a woman?” Old Man Kong pointed at the tomb wall and asked me.
Not to mention, I took a closer look and found that the person outlined by the hairspring was really a woman. Although it is outlined with a faint hint of white smoke, you can still feel the beauty of the woman.
"What are we going to do then?" I asked.
“What divination did you predict today?” Old Man Kong asked me.
“Yang Gua.” I said.
"Since it's a Yang hexagram, it means you can look at women." Old Man Kong paused and said, "How about you take a look at the woman on the wall."
Part 1 It was already difficult enough for me to see the portraits of the Nine Consorts for the first time. This time it was better, they didn’t even show me the portrait, I was directly asked to look at the portrait outlined by the white smoke. Although Bai Yan made this thing, she could tell that she was a beautiful woman, but she had no expression at all.
"Aren't you making things difficult for me?" I said speechlessly.
"He who can do it should work harder! Of the three of us, you are the only one who can read faces. Besides, it doesn't matter whether you can read faces or not. Just try to read them!" Old Man Kong said . "Brother Chuyi, if you can see this, your master will be very happy under Jiuquan." That guy Yi Ba added with a smile.
