Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 370: Soul Hideout, Teach Me How to Break It

Uncle Chen turned his gaze to my dantian.

He just took a quick glance and quickly looked away, lowering his eyes.

I think he knew that the unclean thing had entered my dantian.

Even what I just said may not be entirely true.

What is this old fox up to?

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Huimin brought in an old man.

The old man bent slightly and walked into the ward carefully with his head lowered.

It looked like he was being coerced.

"Uncle Chen, Mr. Jin Zhaosheng is here."

Jin Zhaosheng waved his hands hurriedly: "I dare not call you sir."

"I'm just a teacher, call me Lao Jin... No, no, no, just call me Xiao Jin."

You could see he was very scared, his legs were shaking as he spoke.

It feels like if Chen Huimin says something harsh, he will be scared to death.

Uncle Chen widened his eyes.

Chen Huimin hurriedly explained: "I respectfully invited him here."

"I also said that you invited him, but he is just afraid."

Jin Zhaosheng raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

She raised her head slightly and glanced at Uncle Chen, then immediately forced a smile on her face.

"Uncle Chen, he didn't hurt me."

"You know, I've been timid since I was a kid."

"You asked me to translate Mongolian, right?"

Uncle Chen took out the silk cloth, unfolded it and handed it over.

Jin Zhaosheng took the silk in both hands and his face turned pale after just one look.

Ta-da-da!

His cheeks kept shaking.

The upper and lower teeth kept colliding with each other, making a clicking sound.

Beads of sweat the size of beans instantly appeared on the forehead that had just been wiped dry and flowed down the cheeks.

His already bent body suddenly sank forty-five degrees as if being pressed down by Mount Tai.

Pfft!

His legs were shaking violently and he couldn't bear the weight. His knees gave way and he knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Jin..."

Chen Huimin wanted to help Jin Zhaosheng up, but was stopped by Chen Bo with a look.

I lay on the hospital bed and watched silently.

I vaguely felt that Jin Zhaosheng's reaction was a bit too intense.

No matter how terrifying the text on the silk is, it wouldn't be enough to scare you to your knees at the first sight, right?

No matter how you look at it, this seems like it was deliberately arranged.

In addition, Jin Zhaosheng was specifically asked to come by Uncle Chen, so there is a huge trick involved.

Could it be that Uncle Chen is setting me up?!

But I am just an unknown tomb robber, so why would someone like Uncle Chen bother to set up a trap for me?

I must be overthinking it...

Uncle Chen patted Jin Zhaosheng's back gently and said, "You just can't change your timidity."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Tell me what's written on it that scares you so much."

Jin Zhaosheng placed the silk cloth beside the bed with trembling hands.

Then he used both hands to wipe away the cold sweat from his face and neck.

"It's written on it, it's written... Gulp."

Jin Zhaosheng was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva and couldn't speak clearly.

Uncle Chen waited quietly.

After Jin Zhaosheng's nervousness subsided, he said in a trembling voice, "Write this: Use my daughter's soul to enshrine the statue of the Great Black Goddess, and keep the Black Water under control forever."

"This, this is using the souls of living people to enshrine Buddha statues."

"Using my daughter's soul... is against the laws of nature and morality!"

"Evil and heresy are nothing but this!"

Simply put, the living soul is the soul of a living person, as opposed to the dead soul.

If Jin Zhaosheng's translation is correct.

The decoration of this statue of the Great Black Goddess Buddha is not simple.

It should be through some evil means that the souls of living people are forcibly extracted from their bodies and then hidden in Buddha statues.

I don't know if the out-of-body experience I had before was an illusion.

But if it is true, then it means that there is a way for the soul to be extracted from the body.

That means.

What is written on the silk is very likely to be true!

The statue of the Great Black Goddess contains the soul of a living person!

I looked towards the Buddha statue and wondered if the soul that entered my dantian was the soul contained within it.

It's lurking in my dantian, waiting for an opportunity to take over my body?

Don't blame me for thinking so.

If anyone encounters this situation, their mind will be filled with uncontrollable random thoughts.

Uncle Chen stared at Jin Zhaosheng and asked, "Is that all you wrote?"

"Also, there is more."

"There's something else underneath, saying don't resent Dad for using your souls to enshrine the statue. That's for you to gain eternal life."

"Guard your treasure well in the well, and wait for rebirth after thousands of years. The Buddha will bless you."

“That’s the end of the content.”

After saying this, Jin Zhaosheng stood up by the edge of the bed and silently retreated to the wall.

He lowered his head and whispered, "Can I go now?"

Uncle Chen waved gently.

Chen Huimin pulled Jin Zhaosheng out.

Click.

The door is closed.

Uncle Chen picked up the silk, folded it, and placed it in the golden box. He sighed and said, "It's unheard of to hide a living soul in such a way."

"But the content written on the silk also provides clues."

"The "you" mentioned in the text indicates that there is more than one Buddha statue hidden by the living soul."

"In addition, according to legend, the Buddha statues unearthed at that time were a pair, and the other Mahakala Buddha statue, whose whereabouts are unknown, should also be hidden with living souls."

"Also, the phrase 'Eternally suppressing the Black Water for eternity' is very important."

"To resolve your troubles, I'm afraid I'll have to take this Buddha statue to Blackwater City and find the treasure well they're guarding."

Uncle Chen analyzed it carefully.

The treasure well mentioned at the end corresponds to what Professor Zhang said about the old herdsman.

The old herdsman said that when Kozlov went to Blackwater City for the third time, he was looking for a well and dug one, and he discovered treasure under the well.

It seems that the well in Blackwater City is very important information.

I have the clue, but I'm worried about the time.

I simply told the truth: "Uncle Chen, after I found this Buddha statue in the crypt and put it in my pocket, I felt a piercing chill enter my body."

"That cold air is now entangled with my Qi and lurking in my Dantian."

"If I don't mobilize my Qi, I'll be fine."

"But as soon as I mobilize it, I feel a pain like countless needles pricking my dantian."

"You are knowledgeable and experienced. Can you tell me what is going on?"

"Haha." Uncle Chen smiled faintly and said, "I thought you were going to keep hiding it."

"Why did you reveal the truth so quickly?"

"Are you scared? Are you afraid that you will die soon?"

It seems that my previous guess was correct.

Uncle Chen could indeed see that there was something unclean in my dantian.

I scratched my head and said, "I didn't expect the situation to be so serious."

"I thought it was the cold energy that entered my body, and I thought I would be fine after resting."

"How could I know it was a living soul that had existed for hundreds of years?"

Uncle Chen lowered his eyelids and said slowly, "Don't worry too much."

"The master who set up the Feng Shui scheme and placed the Buddha statue in the limestone layer of the crypt used his methods to suppress the soul hidden within."

"When a living soul enters your body, it will absorb your Qi as nutrients."

"When your Qi is exhausted... you will die like those people before you, or perhaps even die a more miserable death."

"It might even lead to the death of those around you."

Fuck!

It would be fine if I died, but I also want to drag the people around me to die with me?

This is too unreasonable!

"Uncle Chen, teach me how to break it?!"
