The existence of "Zhang Banxian" is a legend in the mouth of his ancestors, he was admired and respected in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and gathered many powerful disciples. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he was young, he participated in the inverted fighting activity in the "Touching the Golden Gate" of his ancestors, and was a master in finding the pulse and breaking ghosts, known as the "Half Immortal". His Taoist skills led to figures like Cao Cao worshipping him as gods. Later records deified it, giving him the ability to escape from heaven to earth.

It's just that just when his fame was great, he quietly disappeared into the world without a trace. Some people say that Zhang Banxian died in an ancient tomb. Some people say that Zhang Banxian is immortal, saw through the red dust, and chose to hide. Some even said that he became an idiot and went to find the road to immortality.

I don't know what will happen to him, but I can't help but be thrilled to see the legendary characters in this situation. Chen Yu and I looked at each other, and the shock was self-evident, until Baocai said to us, "Are you all right?

When I came back to my senses, I really wanted to knock on the door of Baocai's head and tell him: "Yadan, you don't know that you have given the little Taoist priest a terrible title, and let him be called Zhang Banxian for more than a thousand years! It's just that I don't have time to share this excitement right now, because the place we are in is not the cave with murals I saw before, and I have forgotten how I came here in the chaotic process just now.

When I was fully conscious, I looked around and my hairs stood on end.

In the dim and dim lanterns, this space seems mysterious and eerie. I muttered to myself, it was so shocking to me that I couldn't imagine myself in a place made entirely of bronze.

I walked slowly through this magnificent room, and I was deeply impressed by the fact that all the meticulous craftsmanship required by a hundred or so skilled craftsmen to complete. What caught my attention the most was that on the bronze walls on the east and west sides of this space, there were four women standing in each place, their facial features were exquisite, high, wearing antler hats, and holding all kinds of sacrificial ritual vessels and wine utensils, which were inlaid with blue-red gems and filled with a substance similar to clay.

I felt strange when I saw dirt in this kind of place, and I was about to pick it up and take a closer look, but Chen Yu hurriedly asked me to stop, saying that it was better not to touch the strange things I saw in the tomb, for fear that poisonous or dangerous things would be mixed in it.

Chen Yu's reminder made me stop my hand, but the dirt in the sacrificial vessel was really confusing. However, I didn't pay much attention to the most common clay in real life, and continued to study the shrine statues. Their lower bodies and bronze walls are blended together, and the upper body stretches outward, giving the effect that fairies are about to fly into the sky, which looks vivid.

The little Taoist priest next to me looked at these bronze statues very seriously, as if he saw something, and he said: "The expression is very pious, as if he is doing a prayer ceremony." ”

I nodded, agreeing with him. As I was observing their features, my face met the eyes of one of the shrine maidens, and for a moment, my mind was buzzing, like the sound of radio waves rushing in.

"Hiss......" I patted my head a few times with my hand, and the little Taoist priest asked me what was wrong, and I said it was okay, but my eyes saw a picture in this gap of headaches. It was the bronze statues, dressed in black and purple robes, with sacrificial vessels in their hands. In their cuffs, I could faintly see the knives hidden inside.

And among them, there was a particularly bewitching woman, she held a bloodstained knife in one hand, and a human head in the other, the head of the person was scattered, her face was blue and white, very hideous, and if you looked closely, it was Chen Yu!

I took a step back, constantly reminding myself that an illusion is an illusion.

I fell to my knees and gasped for breath, and the bronze floor was covered with my sweat, but in turn it turned to bright red blood. Just as I had a nervous breakdown and my feet didn't obey, a tender hand pinched my chin and lifted my face up, up.

The woman in front of me was very white, with crooked eyebrows and watery eyes, she was a complete beauty, she smiled at me, and then raised the sickle in her hand.

Beautiful things always come with cruelty, I exclaimed, and then I didn't know where the courage came from, I pulled out my gun, aimed it at her eyebrows, and I only heard a "bang", and the blood poured out of her face like a flood of water, and she did not fall, her eyes were fixed on me, as if she was laughing. I struggled to get up, and heard her muffled voice behind me, and I turned back in horror, the familiar phrase: "If you invade the tomb in vain, your bones will rot, and you will fall into ......the cave forever."

"Haha......" With a piercing laugh, the black shadow with a murderous aura disappeared, leaving me with a breath of breath and incredulity after the thrill. The smile on her lips was familiar, like ...... I was shocked, where are these people sacred, why do I keep seeing these visions?

In confusion, I stood in place, the little Taoist priest was still beside me studying the bronze wall, as if the dilemma just now only existed in my mind, and my body did not react. I was drenched in a cold sweat and couldn't help but feel that something was wrong with my brain, but when I remembered the hallucinations I had when I saw the stone gate in modern times, which came true as a result of our crossing, I suddenly felt that maybe this was a foreshadowing warning, and if it came true, then all of us would die tragically!

"No...... It won't be so coincidental......" I muttered to myself, thinking that my nerves have been too sensitive lately, so I have been unconsciously falling into chaos.

The little Taoist priest saw that my condition was not right, and asked me what was wrong, and I was about to explain the situation again, when Baocai exclaimed: "Lao Yu, my son, there is that on this bronze door...... The bird and the fish, and that sentence!"

The birds and the fish were familiar to us, and the curse stuck with me. Originally, I came here to solve all the mysteries and return to the modern age. But the tomb I'm in now isn't the Shimen Tomb that I was going through at that time, so my hopes are temporarily dashed.

I walked over to the treasure, and directly in front of us were two huge bronze doors, which were dull and cold, like gates to another world. It exudes a faint chill, as if there is some magic in itself, which can make people can't help but reach out and touch the patterns on its body and feel its historical imprint.

"This female devil, the things she likes are strange, and the cannibal vine obviously eats human blood, why does she always like to use this pattern. And these birds and swimming fish, how strange they look, tsk, what kind of taste and habit are these!"

The Miao witch intervened, snorted coldly, and said, "I don't understand, and I still have to say that my ancestors are not!"

Chen Yu listened to it and said, "Your ancestors' tastes and your journey, but tell me what kind of bird this is?"

The witch glanced at Chen Yu and was about to return the favor, when the little Taoist priest stood behind us and said, "This is the cormorant, one of the five phoenixes, it is said that it is loyal to love, and can go to the netherworld for love......"

"What about this fish?" Apparently I have developed absolute trust in the little Taoist's knowledge.

"The fishtail is long and floating, and it resembles a tulle...... It's like a shark's tail ......"

"Is it a merman?" I asked.

The little Taoist priest nodded and said, "It should be...... It's just that the legend of the merman has always existed in a tragic color......"

When he said this, I seemed to be able to think of the true love between the witch of the Chu Kingdom and the qin master who could not keep together. She uses the cormorant as a metaphor for herself, and the low-status mermaid as a metaphor for the violinist Wu Xuan, and then combines the two motifs to symbolize the reunion of the two.

This made me understand why there are so many incomprehensible grotesque patterns in the artifacts unearthed by the ancients, and their existence may have the same deep meaning as the patterns on this bronze door.

At this time, I am glad that I can experience the taste of excavation in this era, because in modern times, we cannot make a correct analysis of some patterns, and at this time, we really need contemporary people to explain to us.

After suddenly becoming clear, Chen Yu analyzed that the place where we are is the front room in the real sense, and the place behind the bronze door may be the main coffin room of the witch of the Chu State.

But the tricky problem we are facing now is that this gate is so huge and heavy that I am afraid that a dozen or so Chen Ji will not be able to move it out of the way. There was no way, and we all discussed, and we all believed that the way to open the bronze door was some kind of cleverly designed mechanism, and it was in the Frontrooms.

After this research, we started to search in this space, but at this time Chen Yu's face was very ugly, I asked him if he was uncomfortable, he shook his head, and said no, but I remember that he came across a poisonous bamboo slip when he was in the tomb of the qinist, saying that the poison would attack at any time, I was concerned about his condition at the same time, but also worried about the ancestors outside, they have not kept up, and I don't know if they are out of danger.

I was a little irritated by this thought, and when I was at a loss, I looked at the boxy space and suddenly felt that it looked like an enlarged version of the "Ding". And in this tripod is covered with a variety of fine cloud patterns, cloud patterns began in the Warring States Period, meaning high ascension and wishful thinking, the shape is a bit like a sandalwood plate.

And at the top of the bronze wall on the east side there was a dragon-like ornament, I looked at it for a long time, realized something, and hurriedly looked to the south, and as expected, I exclaimed, "Bird!

The treasure on the side was startled by me and asked me what I had found, and I ran to the west excitedly and said, "Four elephants!

"Four elephants, divine beasts?" Chen Yu was confused by my shouting and glanced at the four walls.

Standing in the middle of the front room, I explained, "There are four mythical beasts in Han mythology, and they are in charge of the four directions. The east is the green dragon, the west is the white tiger, the south is the red bird, and the north is the Xuanwu. ”

Chen Yu pinched his chin, frowned, and said, "I know this, but what is the connection between them and the organs?"

I said, "Do you know which of the five elements they correspond to?"

The little Taoist priest seemed to have comprehended something, and said: "The green dragon is wood, the white tiger is gold, the vermilion bird is fire, and the Xuanwu is water!"

I nodded and said, "That's right, it's just the same!"

Hearing this, the little Taoist frowned slightly, and said, "Soil?"

"Yes! the earth in the center!" I said.

When Baocai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he interjected: "It belongs to the earth, is it a unicorn?"

The little Taoist priest shook his head and said, "The status of the Qilin and the dragon cannot be equaled, and the one who can stand among the divine beasts of the four directions is the fifth spirit outside of them, the Yellow Dragon!" he said, focusing his gaze at the feet of the treasure.

Baocai saw that the four of us were looking at him, and wondered, "What do you think my feet are doing?"

Chen Yu said: "Oh, it's not your feet, it's the patterns under your feet!"

"Pattern!" Bao Cai heard this, and hurriedly moved his position, and under his feet, in a circular pattern, there was a mighty dragon soaring cloud, which was cast by the way of Yin carving, and the pattern was under the plane, which was concave. Strangely, he still has a human head in his mouth. Originally, this pattern looked a bit scary, but in ancient times, it had a lot of meanings, such as dragon play beads (human head represents beads), and for example, the tomb owner wanted to bring a certain deterrent to tomb robbers, so it was decorated with various scary patterns, just like the one that existed in the cracks.

"Now...... What are you going to do now?" asked Baocai stammering.

I smiled at each other, and the little Taoist squatted down to look at the yellow dragon pattern in the center of the front room, and said, "There is a little bit of soil, someone should have used this method." ”

After further verification, I confidently put down the cloth wrap behind me, took out the grave-digging tools that I had been carrying for a long time, and then walked to the white tiger seat on the west side, and scooped out a little dirt from the sacrificial utensils of the bronze shrine maiden.

The little Taoist priest saw my confusion and asked me if there was anything wrong, and I said, "This earth statue is a new ......."

"New?" Chen Yu looked surprised, and said: "How is it possible, this tomb is from the Warring States Period, and it is at least a few hundred years away from now, how can there be new soil, is it wrong?" Chen Yu said as he walked to my side, and just picked up a trace of soil, his face changed, and he muttered: "This soil...... How so?"

The little Taoist priest stared at the bronze statue and said, "There is only one possibility ...... the existence of new soil."

As soon as he said this, I gasped, and everyone present looked at him, as if waiting for an answer.

He turned back meaningfully, his gaze swept over the front room, then stopped, and said in a deep voice, "There are other living people in this ancient tomb besides our group of living people!"

Hearing this, Baocai was stunned for a moment, and said in a terrified voice, "Ah......! Who?"

The little Taoist priest was expressionless and said, "I don't know...... This is only my guess, but what is certain is that this living man is very familiar with the tomb, and he knows how to open the bronze door. ”

After listening to the analysis of the little Taoist, I was a little surprised, he was a careful and intelligent person, and he often thought deeply about the questions, so everyone took his speculation as the final answer. A strange sensation instantly permeated the entire Frontrooms, and the five of us fell into a nervous silence at the same time. I pinched my ears, thinking that for a while I couldn't know exactly why there was new soil here, or as the little Taoist priest said, there were other living people here, but for now, we had to try to put the soil on the Yellow Dragon pattern first to see if we could open the bronze door of the Xuanwu Position.

Just as I was holding the soil and preparing to make a move, my eyes happened to catch a glimpse of the Miao witch, who froze in place with a complicated expression. I asked her what was wrong, and she dodged her eyes and whispered back, "It's nothing......"

I looked at her, thinking that although I was not a graduate of psychology, I had read countless people, and I looked at her appearance, there was obviously something, and I secretly wondered: This tomb is the ancestor of the Miao girl, she must know something, is it soil, there is something wrong with this soil?

Before I could ask to understand, Chen Yu beside me took the soil and said, "Okay, Merry Boy, I was taught by my grandfather when I was a child, and now I have entered the role of the inverted bucket so quickly!"

I was distracted by him, and replied with a smile: "Boss Chen is really joking, does this kind of simple question still need to be taught by my grandfather? Just use your brain casually!" I clicked on the brain, and just as I was playing with my lips, the everlasting lamp in the front room of the ancient tomb suddenly trembled, and the firelight jumped, flashing and flashing, and my first reaction was that I was enchanted again. But at this moment, he heard Baocai shouting, "What...... What's wrong?"

As soon as his words fell, all the everlasting lights went out in an instant, and in the direction of the white tiger on the west side, the position of the four bronze statues of the witch suddenly made a dull sound, and I only saw that something slowly opened, revealing a dim light.

I swallowed, my mind blank in the face of the sudden sight in front of me.

Chen Yu was the first to come back to his senses, and he was shocked: "Damn, it's a Daomen!"
