Soul-eating Golden Coffin - C16
Zhang Shan was getting impatient, he took the book and said, “You just wait for me to finish! I just took out the book, and you immediately snatched it away. Grandfather said that the “Dream of the Danger” itself was not worth much. However, there were some sinister and ruthless methods that hurt the heavens and the earth. “You have to promise not to practice these things before I can hand them over to you.”
“Straight away!” I swear, I will definitely not practice those sinister arts, you know that I never wanted to be some Palmprint Holder, quickly continue talking about you! ” I made a clean promise.
Actually, I don’t think much of it. The book is in my hands and the eyes are on me, I didn’t even read it and didn’t even know if I had trained in you. Zhang Shan doesn’t know, as long as I can save my life, everything else can be discussed later.
“How do I train it?” “From where?” When I officially receive the [Fear Dream Record], I couldn’t wait to ask Zhang Shan.
“Read the book when you get home tonight. Now we have one thing to clear up: Did the Corpse Supporting Spell really sneak into the city? “If it is, then it is much easier to find it. If it is not, then I will really have to retrieve your corpse.” Zhang Shan said solemnly.
“Then how do you know if it’s here?” I found that I didn’t even have the ability to analyze.
“Who knows.”
“You …” I was just in time, and this guy is messing with me again.
“I mean really only the devil knows, so we’re going to ask the ghost tonight.” Zhang Shan said with a serious face.
“Ask…” Ghost? Where is the ghost? ” I was skeptical.
“The place where ghosts are most concentrated is known as the Ghosts Collection. As long as we can find out the location of the Ghosts Collection in Zhengzhou, we might be able to find the whereabouts of the Corpse Supporting Spell.”
“Where is the Ghosts?”
“Do you have two dollars?”
“Yes, why?”
“Go, buy a map of Zhengzhou and let’s go together.”
“…”
We bought a map of Zhengzhou from a nearby newsstand. We sat in front of the flower beds of Municipal Hospital and opened the map.
Zhang Shan measured something as he patiently explained to me, “The Ghastly Market is different from the center of the city. It is definitely the center of the city and at the same time, the confluence of the city’s yin and yang meridians. I remember telling you that ghosts are the common name for souls and nightmares. “Regardless of whether it is soul or nightmare, after nightfall, we will gather near the Ghastly Ghastly Gem. Through these two main meridians in the city, we will be able to reconcile our Yin and Yang …”
“The ghost has Yang Qi too?” I asked, puzzled.
“All things have Yin and Yang, the Supreme Yin or the Supreme Yang are relative, not absolute. Look, I have already marked the approximate location of the Zheng Province’s four great Profound Gate. If my guess is correct, this should be the location of the Ghastly Grounds. ” After Zhang Shan finished speaking, his finger pressed on the middle part of a small path along the river.
“North Gate?” It was a place in Old Zhengzhou, and there was no sign on the map, but I was familiar with it and blurted it out.
According to historical records, in 1927, during General Feng Yuxiang’s period of relaxation, the construction of the Bi Sha Gang Road began from the northwest of Zhengzhou, and the north gate of Zhengzhou Station of the Beijing-Han Railway from the east to the southwest corner of Bi Sha Gang was 2.5 kilometers long and 9 meters wide. In order to protect the road surface, ox-horse vehicles were set up to drive along the dirt road on both sides of the road, which was the first road built by the army stationed in Zhengzhou.
After that, the Bisha Hill Road became a flat road leading to the railway station in western Zhengzhou. Passing through this area from the west to the old city and railway station, the railway department would have to pass through the railway level crossing at the west end of Second Avenue. In order to ensure the safety, the railway department had installed a fence at the crossing, and when the train passed, the fence would be put down and the crossing would be closed.
In the old days, the local people thought of the sluice and the lock and, as its name implied, they called it the gate. Because it was located in the north of the railway station, over time, they routinely called it the north gate of a large area near the railway crossing. The west side was called the west gate (the west side of the railway workers’) and the south gate of the railway cultural palace was called the south gate, which had been passed down for more than 50 years.
When the streets were reorganized in 1979, the government extended Erdao Street, located at the North Gate, to the east side of the railway crossing at the North Station’s marshalling station (now closed). In order to preserve a place marked with a railway and to respect the customs of the masses, the west gate of the Iron Workers’ Court was extended to the north bridge of the Beijing and Guangzhou Road. Since it was located to the north of the Iron Workers’ Court, it was changed to the North Gate Street, which was still in use today.
(Extract from: Zhengzhou City.)
In the past ten years, with the evolution of history, the North Gate has become a collection point for all kinds of pet trading, such as fowl, fish, dogs, and cats.
After hearing my general description, Zhang Shan nodded and said, “We can basically conclude now that the north gate is where the ghosts of Zhengzhou are gathered. It’s because the smell of cats and dogs is also an important reason for them to come here! ”
“Then what should we do?” I still didn’t know what to do next.
“Right now it is five to seven. Quickly go home and memorize the first chapter of” Dream of the Fear “from beginning to end. I don’t require you to understand much. If you memorize it all, it might be useful in the future. I’m going to hurry up and get some equipment. We’ll meet here at 12 o’clock sharp. Let’s go to the north gate and barge into the Ghosts Gathering! ”
After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he stood up and turned to leave. After taking only two steps, he stepped back and opened his huge palm towards me. “Give me 200 yuan!” he shouted.
“What for?”
“You don’t need to spend money to buy anything? Besides, I haven’t eaten for a whole day just to wait for you! ”
“…”
I rushed back home and called Ni Qian first. She lied about a relative from her hometown who was staying at home for the next two days to accompany her guests. She would come back the day after tomorrow to accompany her. Listening to the grumbling on the other end of the phone, I could only smile wryly. I decided to tell her about it when I came back alive. If I told her about this, she would treat me like a lunatic.
I didn’t have the appetite to eat, so I just shut myself up in my room and started flipping through the ‘Dreadful Dreams’. Initially, I thought that the ‘Dream of the Fear’ was full of difficult to understand words, but in reality, it is not. To people of my generation, it has obviously reached a certain realm in words. If it weren’t for the fact that everything in the book was so weird, I would have thought of it as a science book. This current edition should be the result of the Palmprint Holder’s constant renovations. As the majority of the methods and tools described in the book could only be effectively used by those with Inaction Imprint s, it was no different from a pile of scrap paper to others.
And because of this, the “Dream of Fear” should never be afraid of being stolen, which was why it could be passed down to this day.
It was no longer possible to determine the identity of the first generation Palmprint Holder who had first discovered and proposed the word “dream”. The earliest Palmprint Holder mentioned in the book was a teacher in the Han Dynasty named Zhang Ze Ru, with the character Qiao Sheng. The book described him as “solemn as a loose wind, tall and Xu Yin. The white clothes are like snow on a plum, the air is bitter and cold. ” This made me think of the deity statue that was placed in the house of Old Man Zhang. It should be him.
Zhang Ze seemed to have discovered his own ability and Palmprint Holder, this unique group, and collected and organized a small portion of it, which is the first chapter of the《 Dream of Fear》 in my hands right now — Good and Evil.
Only after looking into it with my own heart, do I know that the [Dream Record] isn’t about how Palmprint Holder used his dreams to capture evil spirits and punish them. Instead, it is about how she used his dreams to grasp and understand some information about her target, and then remove all the filth that lurked in their bodies.
As for Gold Coffin, they were a necessary tool for every Palmprint Holder. Although it could not be seen or felt in reality, it was still connected to the Inaction Imprint. When Palmprint Holder activated the Inaction Imprint, the Gold Coffin opened up at the same time and stored the Nightmare Beast in the coffin, sealed it forever.
The most important part of Good and Evil lies in how the Palmprint Holder, in a conscious state, relied on the Inaction Imprint s to step into the Profound Gate and come into direct contact with ghosts. Of course, there was a part of it that I didn’t quite understand. Some of the names, such as “Underground”, “Yellow Skin”, and “Smoke”, I couldn’t figure out what they all referred to.
As time passed, although Good and Evil were the shortest parts of the book, it did not only cover the origins of Palmprint Holder and Inaction Imprint, it also covered the creation and use of dreamforce, Ta Ku, Profound Gate s, and many other basic skills and magic tools. There were at least seven to eight thousand words written on it, if Zhang Shan wanted me to memorize it, it would be easier said than done.
