Chapter 854 Stone Dao
"If you're unlucky, and you run into some kind of trap, bugs, or something, or something weird, it's possible. The old gun said with a smile, "As for the zombies, the ghosts still forget it, I have lived a handful of years, and I want to see it." ”
Li Qing grinned a little awkwardly, and then asked: "I heard that in ancient times, after building a mausoleum, craftsmen would be suffocated inside, and some craftsmen would leave a way back for themselves when they built it..."
"Well, there are such things, I happened to them a few years ago, but it's too rare. The old gun smiled and nodded, "Those craftsmen in ancient times worked under the inspection of the overseers, and you want them to quietly dig a tunnel out? Not to mention whether they can hide it, it is not feasible in terms of time alone." Even if there is, it is a very ingenious method, hidden very deeply, like us to break into the underground palace recklessly, it is too difficult to find such a secret passage, it is better to dig another one yourself to save effort. ”
"So, you're just watching too many movies. Our line of work is a craft handed down by our ancestors, except for being a little dirty, it is no different from the candy pinching people on the street, and there is not so much fun at all. ”
This made Li Qing even more embarrassed, he stood up with a smirk and patted the dirt on his hands.
There are some lines that you don't touch, and you always feel mysterious, but when you get in touch with them, you will find that it's just that, not as exciting and thrilling as the people say, and it's a little disappointing.
The old gun's men had already set up a small offering table, held an umbrella and lit two white candles.
"Miss Xie. The old gun lit three sticks of incense and bowed, then turned his head and smiled, "You'd better salute too." ”
Xie Yuyan glanced at the black clay statue lightly, and asked coldly, "Which one is worshipping?"
A thin black man next to him replied with a smile: "Hehe, this is our ancestor who robbed the tomb." Worship the ancestor before going down to the cave to ensure a safe journey. ”
Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is your ancestor?"
"Captain Jin, Cao Cao. The thin black man narrowed his eyes and said, "General Cao, this is an official thief, a big man, a big man, you can't do it if you don't worship it." ”
"What a mess..."Li Qing snorted and turned around, seeing Caiyun also put out the small statue of the mountain god in the leather bag on his waist, knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice. The big yellow dog next to him wanted to sniff it, but Caiyun raised his hand and hit it aside: "Don't be disrespectful to your mother." ”
"Huh. Li Qing pulled the corners of his mouth, walked directly to Gu Yue's side, bowed down and said, "Forget it, I'd better say goodbye to you." ”
"Get out of the way. Gu Yue pursed her lips, dodged to the side and muttered angrily, "You have done too many bad things, and no god can save you." ”
I thought that Xie Yuyan would refuse, but I didn't expect this Miss Xie to follow the customs, took the incense and bowed to the clay statue three times, and then looked at Li Qing.
"Okay, okay. It is probably not a bad thing to pay homage to Prime Minister Cao. Li Qing took the three incense sticks from Xie Yuyan's hand with a helpless face, and just wanted to bend over, his nose suddenly moved.
"Yawn!" Li Qing sneezed violently, shook his head, and lifted his eyelids, suddenly realizing that the three incense sticks had been extinguished by a yawn of his own.
"This..."Li Qing froze there, speechless for a while.
"Oops, oops, this..." The old gun sighed twice, patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Boss Xiao, you have to be careful after you go down, even Prime Minister Cao doesn't care about you." ”
"It's not bad for me, it's wet and cold..."Li Qing quibbled a few words, and found that no one paid attention to him, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth with a funny look.
After worshipping the ancestor master, the old gun took the equipment and squatted down at the entrance again: "Let's go first, Miss Xie will lead someone to follow." ”
Caiyun's big yellow dog didn't know when he came to the hole, sniffed inside, and then poked his whole head in.
"Hehe, I really didn't find it a while ago, this beast is interesting. The old gun also seemed to see something, raised his head to stare at Caiyun, and squinted his old eyes, "Little girl, you feed this dog well?"
Caiyun didn't answer, she seemed to be a little afraid of the old gun, and just whispered to the big yellow dog to come back.
The group was ready, and Lao Gun brought more than 20 of his own men, plus more than a dozen people under Xie Yuyan, a total of about 50 people passed through the narrow hole and got in.
Below is the bluestone steps, clean and neat, the stone path is four or five meters wide, the air is filled with a faint stale smell, the air is not fresh, but it does not affect breathing.
"It's good, after all these years, there is no water at all. The sound of the old gun buzzed in the stone path, a little muffled.
Li Qing shone on the stone wall with a strong flashlight, and then reached out to touch it, which felt cold to the touch.
Walking forward for a few tens of meters, the front suddenly stopped, and Li Qing heard muttering voices from in front of him.
Hu Feng asked loudly, "What's going on in front?"
"Miss Xie. The old gun parted and squeezed into the middle, "That's a little wrong." ”
Xie Yuyan asked lightly, "What's wrong?"
"Although there are not many tombs in the Western Zhou Dynasty, I have opened a few in Guannan, and I have never seen such a tomb. ”
"What do you mean?"
"This place," the old gun tugged at the corners of his mouth, "the format is wrong, and it's too big." ”
Hu Feng shouted angrily: "Isn't this nonsense, let's go down to the emperor's tomb, you opened those tombs are only pediatrics, when did you hit the emperor's tomb?"
"Master Hu, that's not what we said. The old gun pursed the corners of his mouth, "Although we haven't opened the Imperial Tomb, I also know that this is not the case." If you hadn't told me in advance that this place was an immortal ancient building, I would have dared to say that it would be absolutely impossible to bury people here. ”
Xie Yuyan glanced at Li Qing and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to say?"
"Miss Xie, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, just to be a reminder. The old gun hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't think there's something quite right in this place, you have a preparation in advance." ”
"Got it. Xie Yuyan bowed his head slightly, and then turned his head to look at Gu Yue, "Is the road we are taking now on the map?"
"In. Gu Yue responded, "A little further along, it should be the Ancient Mansion of the Zhen Domain." ”
"Then go on, I also want to see how the ancients built the Sifang Pavilion underground. Xie Yuyan said expressionlessly, immediately waved his jade hand, and the team continued to move forward.
As he continued to go deeper, Li Qing shone his flashlight on the stone wall beside him, leaned towards Gu Yue, and lowered his voice: "This place should be naturally formed, right?"
Gu Yue raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"There are not many traces of artificial excavation, and if I am not mistaken, this is probably a naturally formed cave that has been expanded into this shape. ”
"This is not unusual. Gu Yue replied lightly, "The ancient craft is not well developed, and it takes too much manpower to make such a deep stone path in the mountain range, of course, you can learn from it." ”
Xie Yuyan said softly: "According to ancient records, it was only twenty years before and after King Zhou Luo died of injuries from the conquest of Chai Da. It is indeed not easy to build the ancient building of the town in such a short period of time. If they had taken advantage of some natural strengths, I would have been more than happy to accept them. ”
Li Qing nodded and did not speak again. He stared at Gu Yue's pretty side face, and he always felt that there was a feeling that was almost weird. After dealing with the matter of the Ancient Mansion of the Zhen Domain, he always felt that Gu Yue had undergone some kind of change, and it could even be said that he was a little worried.
"She's hiding something from me. Li Qing said silently in his heart, as soon as this thought rose in his heart, even Li Qing himself was taken aback.
At this time, the front of the team stopped again, and the voice of the old gun came from the front, which was almost helpless: "Two roads." ”
"The one on the left. Gu Yue said lightly.
"Go left. The old gun repeated, and then complained in a suppressed voice, "When are we going to be an expedition?"
"But no, I was still thinking about opening the coffin when I entered the tomb, but I walked so far that I didn't even look at a pottery shard. ”
After walking for another four or five minutes, he encountered a fork in the road again, and Gu Yue still let go to the left.
The flashlight hit the thick cold stone walls on his side, and the ground became more and more uneven, at this time Li Qing believed the words of the old gun, this place really did not look like the mausoleum of an emperor.
"Huh?" Li Qing suddenly paused at his feet, "This voice..."
Xie Yuyan turned his head and stared at Li Qing suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
"There is the sound of water. Li Qing said in a low voice, "There should be a river ahead." ”
Li Qing's hearing is far beyond ordinary people, so he can hear some clues in advance. He was right, and the group walked forward for a while, and sure enough, they heard the sound of rushing water, and at this time, the old gun's face was finally completely blue.
"There's a wind blowing in front of us, and it's supposed to be a big river. The old gun's face changed slightly, he stopped again, and turned to look at Xie Yuyan, "Miss Xie, there is really something strange about this place." A place where there is water is humid, and according to Feng Shui, it is unlucky to bury people in this place, let alone bury a king. ”
Gu Yue said lightly: "It is the Hakka people who bury King Zhou, and they don't understand the rules and regulations of the Central Plains. Moreover, this was the earliest place where the ancient building of the town was located, and it was just an accident that King Zhou was buried here. ”
"Miss Gu, you are a remnant of the ancient gate, and you know a lot more about the affairs of the Immortal Building than a big man like me. The old gun smiled, "But even what you said is right, this place is so humid, I'm afraid that the Immortal Building will be rotten a long time ago, I guess our trip is for nothing, and we can't pick up anything." ”
