As he spoke, Qi Tiezui took out a small peach wood sword from his bosom. He pushed away the insect silk in front of him and the yellow and black rotten Dao talismans."Ziyu, look!"
Wang Ziyu also lit a torch and went forward to take a look. On the surface of all the earthen vats, there were countless cocoons that had long dried up. The bugs inside had long hatched and flown away, leaving behind countless hollow shells. The Dao talisman was stuck to the outside of the cocoon. One could see that there was a lot of cotton wool that was still covered previously. The cotton wool and the Dao talisman had rotted together.
"These cocoons were artificially glued to the outside of the earthen vat, then covered with a quilt to hatch, and then pasted with a Dao talisman?”
Wang Ziyu turned to Qi Tiezui and asked,""Why?"
Qi Tiezui nodded and said," These insects are probably the natural enemies of the things in the earthen tanks. The pupa is stuck outside the earthen tanks in the hope that after the insects hatch, they will wrap these earthen tanks with silk."”
The mouths of these earthen jars were sealed with mud and then wrapped with iron sheets. Although it had decayed, it was still sealed well.
Wang Ziyu raised the torch and looked around. He noticed that there seemed to be something carved on the wall of the vat under the cocoon. He used the Paramita Sword to peel off the pupa outside the earthen vat bit by bit, revealing the indistinct words carved on the vat's wall.
Wang Ziyu used a lighter to illuminate the words and realized that they seemed to be names. At this moment, he thought of a method of burial.
"This is a vat burial. Looking at these words, they are all Daoist names. These should be the corpses of the Daoist priests in this Daoist temple.”
"Ziyu, you mean these bugs are the natural enemies of the corpses inside?" Qi Tiezui asked. But why did these Taoist priests go to such great lengths to stick pupa on the outside of the soil tank and even stick so many Dao talismans? Moreover, the Limitless Pagoda was right above his head. This was simply the three great sets for suppressing demons. In the wilderness, could it be that all the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple had become demons?”
As he spoke, cold sweat broke out on Qi Tiezui's forehead.
"Lord Eight, look over there."
Just as Qi Tiezui was still thinking about what the corpses in these earthen jars were, he suddenly heard Wang Ziyu's voice.
Qi Tiezui turned his head and followed Wang Ziyu's gaze to the center of the stone room. He found a bronze mirror that was exactly the same as the one hanging on the train.
Looking at the bronze sword, Qi Tiezui suddenly relaxed and said calmly,"It seems that my master has been here. Since he had been here before and died on the train, it meant that there was not much danger here. The mirror of the expert is telling us not to touch these earthen jars! Also, look at the direction of the mirror!”
Wang Ziyu looked in the direction of the mirror and saw that it was pitch-black in the depths of the stone room. He could not see the situation inside at all.
"It's too dark. We can't see anything unless we can go over.”
Wang Ziyu looked at the densely packed soil vats in front of him, then looked at the rotting cotton wool and Dao talismans between the soil vats, as well as the unknown black water on the ground. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stabbed the Nirvana Sword in his hand into the stone under his feet. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Qi Tiezui's collar, lifted him up, and spun him three times on the spot. Then, with Qi Tiezui's scream, he was thrown towards the corner where the mirror was looking at.
Qi Tiezui flew past the earthen tanks and landed in a corner, sprawling on the ground.
Qi Tiezui stood up and didn't even have the chance to curse when he saw Wang Ziyu holding the Nirvana Sword in his hand. Like the legendary flying over roofs and climbing over walls, his feet lightly tapped on the edge of the earthen vat and quickly ran towards him.
"Ziyu, you're being a little unkind! You ran over yourself and threw me over like a sandbag?”
Qi Tiezui looked at Wang Ziyu who had landed in front of him. His words were filled with dissatisfaction.
Wang Ziyu lit the lighter again and looked around."I can only guarantee that I won't destroy the Dao talisman on the soil tank. If I bring you along, I won't be able to do anything unless you want to come over with the unknown black water below.”
Without waiting for Qi Tiezui to speak, Wang Ziyu continued,"What do you think this is?"
It turned out that after Wang Ziyu lit up the corner, a stone turtle was placed in the space in front of them.
The stone turtle was huge, about the height of a person. It carried a black stone pillar on its back. The stone pillar was connected to the ceiling, like a weight-bearing pillar.
There was a compass in the turtle's mouth. There was a red thread tied to the needle of the compass. The red thread was stretched very tightly and stretched into the darkness in front of the stone turtle where the torch could not shine.
Qi Tiezui walked a few steps forward along the red line and saw that on the tight red line, there were things hanging like bells. He took a closer look and realized that they were all women's fingernails. They were very long and old.
Qi Tiezui turned to Wang Ziyu and said,"My master set up the Joyous Union Formation here.”
When Wang Ziyu heard the name of this array, he felt that there seemed to be an introduction to this array in his memory, but he could not remember it for a moment. It seemed that when he went back and had time, he really had to organize the knowledge in his mind.
Thinking of this, Wang Ziyu asked Qi Tiezui,""Joyous Union Formation? What do you do?"
"The Joyous Unification Formation is a type of Feng Shui formation. Its use is extremely terrifying." It was used to fish for things, and it was not an ordinary thing. It was often used to find corpses buried in the mud after an earthquake or to find people who had drowned in deep pools. At the other end of the red string was something related to the deceased. The red string was thrown into a deep pool or mud. After the red line fell, it would tighten rapidly as the terrain rolled. Below the place where it stopped was the corpse they were looking for.”
After hearing Qi Tiezui's explanation, Wang Ziyu said,""Now that this red string has been thrown into these soil tanks, is your master also looking for some corpse?”
"It's possible. Perhaps one of the bodies in these earthen jars is his acquaintance, or there's some other reason." But no matter what, since the expert is here, it means that the black water below shouldn't be dangerous. Let's go in and take a look!”
Wang Ziyu looked at the black water that was emitting a foul smell and was very reluctant. However, in order to find possible clues, he endured it and walked in with Qi Tiezui.
