"Oh! So, Uncle Cao, the thing that Liu Yi and the cat bumped into was the corpse refining kiln?”Moxie suddenly understood.
"But this ghost story is really scary! What was the main function of that corpse refining kiln? Is it really used to refine corpses?" Moxie continued to ask,"
"Haha, something like that.”Cao Feng looked at everyone and continued,"
"(I heard my elders mention this before. Since the beginning of the Warring States Period, alchemy became popular. People firmly believed that they could achieve immortality or immortality by taking pills.
Before the Han Dynasty, alchemy was mainly based on Huang Baizhu, and its raw materials were mostly heavy metals such as mercury, lead, tin, etc. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the "Golden Elixir Technique" gradually came into being. Its raw materials were added with some non-metallic substances, but most of them were still heavy metals. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Golden Elixir Technique was still loved by most nobles.
However, as everyone knew, the pills had to be taken in conjunction with the "mental cultivation methods" of many Taoist schools (Maoshan and Quanzhen both had mental cultivation methods. Although there were differences in the details, they were basically the same).
Those who understood the " mental cultivation method " took the pill, which could increase their vitality and prolong their lives. However, if ordinary people took this kind of heavy metal content that seriously exceeded the standard, the consequences were no different from drinking pesticide directly. Not only would they not live forever, but they would also be poisoned to death.
As more and more people died of poisoning from taking pills, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, traditional pills, which were mainly made of Jindan, gradually lost the trust of the nobles.
This meant that some necromancers who had made a fortune by making elixirs for dignitaries had lost their jobs. In order to regain the trust of these nobles, these necromancers invented a shocking Red Elixir of Alchemy.
The so-called Red Spirit Pill was not made of traditional heavy metal materials, but living people. In the early days, most alchemists studied Taoist techniques. When they refined people into pills, they would try to seal their souls in the pills. After taking this kind of pill, people would not be poisoned. On the contrary, it would produce an effect similar to stimulants.
For a time, this so-called Red Spirit Pill quickly became popular among the upper class. However, using people to refine pills was different from using metal to refine pills. It involved Fengshui problems. Most of the Red Spirit Pill's pill rooms were built in the deepest mountains and the refining method was strictly confidential. This "corpse refining kiln" was the container for refining the Red Spirit Pill. Its scientific name was "Golden Body Chamber", and "corpse refining kiln" was just a common name.
However, not every necromancer was a Taoist master. Due to the popularity of the Red Spirit Pill, some jealous necromancers were also blind.
They got on their horses and started to refine the Red Spirit Pill. These people did not have the ability to seal people's souls in the pill. Most of the people's resentful souls were left in this " corpse refining kiln ". As time passed, thousands of souls would become strong. Therefore, these two-handed necromancers became the first batch of unlucky people.
This was also a self-inflicted disaster. Coincidentally, although the Corpse Refining Kiln had cost the lives of these unscrupulous alchemists, it had also made another group of people plan to make a fortune. These people were some Taoist disciples with evil intentions.
For them, these abandoned corpse kilns were simply cheap and good weapons for making money. In the chaotic times of the late Tang Dynasty, there were countless scums of Taoism who used abandoned corpse kilns to extort, rob, and even kill people. This thing was also recognized as one of the most difficult things to deal with by later generations.）”
"Don't tell me that you can break through that corpse refining kiln with your head?”Mo Xie didn't know much about corpse refining kilns, so everyone was puzzled.
Cao Feng looked at them and smiled bitterly.
"You asked the same question as I did back then. I don't know why I could break through that corpse refining kiln with my head.”
Cao Feng paused for a moment before continuing,"
"But that method is very strange because it was taught by that demon cat. Although it was strange, that night, Ding Yi and the civet cat exchanged their lives for the lives of Ding Yi's wife and the old lady, Madam Chang.
However, in the next few decades, the Chang Family Camp became a famous ghost village. No one who went came back alive…"
"Tomb of the Warring States Period, it's the tomb of the Warring States Period again!" Moxie had actually listened for so long, but he was still most concerned about these three words. Tomb of the Warring States Period!
"What? Moxie, what are you saying?" Cao Feng looked at him in confusion. Because Moxie had mumbled very softly just now, he did not hear it.
"What? Oh, nothing. Then Liu Yi and the cat are both dead?" Mo Xie asked in bewilderment.
"Yes, they're all dead! And he died a very miserable death." Cao Feng nodded affirmatively.
"Hmm? If that person was all dead, what did it have to do with that array?”Moxie asked.
Cao Feng smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a crisp and melodious voice that sounded like an oriole.
"Idiot. There's still an old woman and Liu Yi's wife who haven't died yet. Those two women naturally can't set up that array just now.
In that case, there were only those two little ghosts left. It was either the two of them together or one of them.”
"Oh! That's right." Moxie slapped his forehead. Because he was a person who loved to listen to stories, he was so engrossed in them that he forgot everything.
"Girl, you're amazing!" Cao Feng gave Ning, who was sitting in the corner, a thumbs-up to show his praise.
"Humph! He was still much more powerful than a certain someone, but he was naturally far inferior to his uncles.”Ah Ning first glared at Moxie, then smiled at the others.
"It's shameful to act cute!" Moxie grumbled in dissatisfaction, and then said,"
"Then one of the two children placed it there, right? It was unlikely that two people could set up such an array.”
"Yes, I am!" Cao Feng nodded.
"It's that Liu Yi's eldest son. He later became a disciple of an expert from Wudang Mountain. Ten years later, he went down the mountain to get rid of the corpse refining kiln that many experts were helpless about.
He set up two formations, one was called the Evil Spirit Gathering Yang Formation, and the other was called the Yin Yang Soul Destroying Formation. He combined the two formations into one to break the Corpse Refining Kiln.”
"Two formations combined? So awesome? F * ck, f * ck, he was indeed an awesome character.”Moxie didn't realize that he had inadvertently used Fatty Wang's catchphrase. It could be seen how shocked he was.
"It is powerful!" Li Guai added affirmatively.
Mo Xie was speechless.
"Oh right, nephew Moxie, what are you and your third uncle going to auction? Did you get some local goods?" Old Peng changed the topic.
"Hahaha, that's right. Old Peng, let me tell you, we really got quite a few treasures this time. All of them are local products from the Warring States Period.
There's another one that's even older, but my nephew said it's of great use, so he didn't take it out.”Mo Sanqiu grinned when he heard Old Peng's question.
Speaking of Old Peng, he knew him because he sold local products. Old Peng was an antique lover. When Mo Sanqiu was young, he sold a lot of good stuff to Old Peng.
Back then, Old Peng had looked down on Mo Sanqiu. It was all thanks to the few brothers beside him who introduced him. However, Old Peng was also an active person when he was young. There were a few times when he actually asked to go to the ground with them.
After a few times, Old Peng was truly convinced by Mo Sanqiu's craftsmanship, which was why they had such a deep friendship.
"Oh? More ancient than the Warring States Period? You can't hide this good stuff, Sansheng!”Old Peng's eyes lit up when he heard Mo Sanqiu's words. One had to know that local goods were very rare during the Warring States Period.
Therefore, it was even more ancient than the Warring States Period.
Therefore, as a collector, it was normal for him to be shocked and eager. After all, there was not much historical evidence to verify the local goods and antiques after the Warring States Period.
"Old Uncle Peng, that won't do. I really have a great use for this antique. Besides, it's meaningless for ordinary people to collect it. The ominous thing was that it carried the same dense ghost qi as these uncles.”Moxie smiled bitterly at Old Peng.
However, he added in his heart that it was also his way of establishing an archaeological team and stepping into the official door.
"What? Then forget it." Old Peng was shocked.
"Hehe, but can I trouble Uncle Peng to help me send a post tomorrow?”Moxie smiled.
"Haha, no problem. What's the name of your post?”Old Peng laughed.
" Just call it, Evil Monarch's Wind and Cloud Invitation."# Date:09 26 2019 3:31PM
