Chapter 17: The Ancient Luo Middle Period in the Tomb
Taoyuan touched his nose and helplessly stalled his hands: "The character of the tomb robber is not very good, and he will become a madman immediately after the tomb." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Brother Mengyao looked at him hehehe: "He's not much different from you, okay." You don't feel it yourself, as soon as you enter your little world of folk arts, it will change immediately. Anyway, it's normal for anyone who has something to do with a different personality. ”
He didn't answer, but nodded approvingly: "That's right." I used to hear a story that my master told me when I was about seven years old. Said, a long time ago, there was a person who cultivated the Dao Fa, he originally had ordinary qualifications, without any immortal bones and Dao fate, even if he met many gentlemen in this profession, no one was willing to teach him, because his roots were not suitable for this path. But he was fascinated by the Daofa, and finally went up to Kunlun Mountain and disappeared into a snow peak, no one knew how long he stayed in the snow peak, and no one knew what he did in the snow peak. But twenty years later, this person came out, worshiped the head of Maoshan as a teacher, and took charge of Maoshan when the head drove the crane west, and his roots and bones were comparable to those who ascended. ”
Yao Daoren listened quietly, and only after he finished speaking did he snort and laughed: "So what do you mean by talking about my master?" ”
"Your master?" Brother Mengyao looked at him suspiciously. Tao Yuan smiled slyly: "That's right, I'm talking about Bai Yi Zhenren, the master of Yao Daoren." ”
"When my master came out of Kunlun Snow Peak, it caused a lot of sensation. According to him, he stayed in the snow peak for the past 20 years and did nothing, and every day he just sat in front of the Buddha statue of the ancestor and thought about things, and then this sitting was 20 years. I also asked him how anyone could sit for so long, and he replied at the time that it was because he saw Master Zu, and that Master Zu had brought him to start training in skills. He sighed and looked at Deng Yuqing and Erha who were still prying the stone slab of the tomb door.
Brother Meng Yao twitched the corners of his mouth and said nothing. Taoyuan stopped talking, this matter is very mysterious, who can say it, it's not indifferent.
"Old Deng, have you pried it open?" Tao Yuan stood impatiently with his hands on his chest, Deng Yuqing's mouth was full of sweat, and he shouted anxiously: "Oh, don't urge, this tomb door is strong, the explosives are not allowed to be used, and it will take time for me to pry this pole, don't worry." ”
"Can you not be in a hurry, you two have been prying for half an hour!" Tao Yuan stretched out his foot and kicked Deng Yuqing's buttocks. Who knew that this kick actually made a sound from the originally sturdy slate, a bang. Erha shouted in surprise: "It's on!" ”
Several people were overjoyed, and quickly sped up, priing open a corner, and the rest would not be a problem. Sure enough, in the difficult operation of Erha and Deng Yuqing, the tomb door opened.
Looking at the tomb door that was slowly pried open, Brother Mengyao's heart was skipping a beat. When the doors of the tomb were opened, it was not the smell of air, but the thick smell of blood and the smell of dust and rotting corpses. Yao Daoren couldn't help but cover his nose, Brother Mengyao's sense of smell was several times that of a human, and as soon as the smell came out, she immediately rolled her eyes and fell down softly.
"Brother Mengyao!" Several people shouted to her with concern. Brother Mengyao waved his hand to signal that it was okay: "No... All right. ”
"Don't hold it hard, let's go down first, you can go up on it." Yao Daoren's brows furrowed. She shook her head, "It's okay. ”
Deng Yuqing gritted his teeth: "You wait first, don't rush to go down with us, let's go open the way." So saying, he took out a candle from his body, lit it with a lighter, and tied a rope to the hole. Brother Meng Yao had never robbed the tomb and didn't know what he was doing, and his eyes were full of doubts. Erha smiled: "This tomb robbery is a technical job, there is no light in the tomb all year round, and there is not even a gas outlet in the tomb, and there is no oxygen in many tombs." This candle will not burn in the absence of oxygen, if the candle is still burning at the bottom, it means that you can go to the grave, otherwise it will be difficult to breathe inside. ”
"That's it." She said she understood, but the smell at the tip of her nose hadn't dissipated much.
Seeing that the candle had been put down for five minutes and had not been finished, Yao Daoren began to feel a little wrong in his heart: "Okay? How could it be so long, and it would be better to put this down for a while. As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Yuqing brought the candle up, looked at the faint fire below, and smiled: "You can go down, big brother, don't worry, isn't it." Saying that, he jumped up from the pit, then packed up his backpack and jumped down directly: "Don't worry, Erha and I will go down first, make sure it's okay, and greet you with a headlamp." Saying that, he took out three headlamps from his backpack, this kind of lamp is used more when robbing tombs, one saves electricity, and it is easy to operate without manual, which is particularly convenient.
A few people snorted and put their first class on their heads. Deng Yuqing gave Erha a look, and Erha nodded and carefully leaned on the wall and walked down. Deng Yuqing originally wanted to keep up, but suddenly thought of something and retreated: "You wear gas masks, wait for the poisonous gas underneath, I don't know how tricky it is." ”
Brother Mengyao looked at his huge backpack and really felt that he had everything...
Erha shook the small flashlight in his hand over there, and the light in the corner of Deng Yuqing's eyes immediately walked down the stairs. Not to mention that this staircase looks like there are at least thirty or forty steps, it is really very long.
A few people stood at the edge of the cave, and their hearts were never quiet.
"Don't be nervous, Deng Yuqing and Erha are both veterans of tomb robbing, and they are famous, and his gold talisman on the top is not fake." He put his arm around Brother Mengyao's shoulders, feeling her body trembling, and knew in his heart that this thing below was not a simple master.
Brother Meng Yao is a yin person, and he is the shell of a hundred ghosts, the yin energy in her body is not comparable to ordinary demons and monsters, but if Brother Meng Yao's body can tremble so much, the things under it will definitely not be easy, it is definitely a big guy.
About ten minutes later, there was a long light shaking under the tomb, and the three of them immediately came to their senses, cleaned up and went down the cave without saying a word, but Yao Daoren stopped the two before going down: "Don't worry, I'll call Liu Hanxing and ask him to bring someone to guard this place, in case we go down, it's not a good thing for us that the cave entrance is suddenly closed or someone comes." ”
Taoyuan nodded: "I'll call Qu Lao." With that, both of them made a quick call, and it took three minutes to make sure that there were no problems going to the grave.
As soon as she went down, Brother Mengyao paddled it, but fortunately, Taoyuan was in front, and Yao Daoren supported her in time.
"It's mossy." She muttered, and descended the stairs in the light of first class and flashlight. Thirty or forty steps, say more or less, say no less.
After the three of them went down the steps, they found that the surroundings were actually very empty, and this was not a road, but like a circular turntable. When they came down, Deng Yuqing and Erha were already waiting there, and when they saw the three of them, both of them were not very good: "This is a maze, it's a wrong step and it's over." ”
Brother Mengyao's flashlight shone everywhere, and finally froze on the surrounding stone walls, tilting his head and walking over there: "This is... What the? ”
"It's a mural." Erha walked to the other side: "This mural is full of inscriptions, and strange pictures, it seems that it should be about the life of the tomb owner, but it is not known which dynasty it is, because these inscriptions and pictures do not look like the previous things, but like some foreign people." He walked away, and the flashlight fell on the nearest mural to him: "Old Deng, come and see what this is." ”
Hearing Erha's shout, several people quickly surrounded him.
In front of Erha is a square stone wall, how to say that this stone wall is engraved with some strange symbols, and the previous inscriptions are a little different, and there is a painting next to these symbols, to say that the previous mural is nothing, but this mural is a little different.
It is carved with a person, and from the appearance of this person should be wearing a fur coat, this coat would be worn by many rich children in ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty, like a lined garment. The difference was that the man's hair wore a piece of armor that resembled the Roman shape of Napoleon's time. He held a scepter in his hand, which looked a bit like a sacrifice, and sat barefoot on a throne, and there was no majestic image of thousands of people kneeling in front of him, only some poor people standing on the road in front of him, and the man he faced knelt at his feet and kissed his ankles.
"What kind of painting style is this?" Brother Meng Yao looked at these pictures awkwardly.
"It doesn't look like our ancient or modern murals." Momoon touched his chin. Yao Daoren said lightly: "It's a mural in the Middle Age of Gu Luo." ”
"Ancient Luo Zhongji?" They asked in unison.
Yao Daoren nodded: "Taoyuan, do you remember the story you told me about my master just now." ”
"Remember, does it have anything to do with this?"
"Yes. The reason why my master went to Kunlun Snow Mountain for 20 years was because there was an ancient method in the ancient Luo Middle Age to open the immortal bone path of people. He continued: "In the thousands of years of history and culture of our China, the ancient Luo Zhongji was just a foreign tribe that existed for only a few years. He is different from dynasties like the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, he is just a dust and sand. As long as someone wants him to revive him, he can establish a new Guluo Zhongji anytime and anywhere, and the people he collects are all greedy and degraded people. A long time ago, the ancient Luo Zhongji arose in Fanbang, and the people who led it at that time were called 'Guzha Tuo', and Guzha Tuo was still a beggar at that time, because of a series of activities to expel beggars in Fanbang, Gu Zha Tuo was expelled by the people of the whole Fanbang. His family was also killed by the Fanbangs, leaving him alone. At that time, the evil art had not yet risen, and it flowed into us here to lower the head, and many people would use a little bit of the head lowering technique at that time, and the famous head lowering master at that time was in the mountains and forests not far from Fanbang, in order to take revenge he entered there to learn the head lowering technique, but the root bones were not good, and the master was unwilling to accept him as an apprentice. So he stayed in the mountains and forests under the wind and snow for half a month, and he went wherever the master went during this half month, and the master agreed to teach him the head-lowering technique under his soft grinding and hard bubbles. ”
"But the poor bones of the roots are completely added to the snow, so the master came up with a way, that is, to let him retreat for ten years, locked in a small hole that does not see the light of day, and there is nothing to live in. The most I do every day is to sit cross-legged, meditate and purify my body, and wait for ten years to pass. ”
"Two days ago, he couldn't help it, he was tired, thirsty and hungry and he was about to die, but the master said, if you want to take revenge, you want to learn the technique of lowering the head, then stick to it, and in the future, your root bone will be comparable to the immortal bone without any means, or even soaring. When he heard this, he thought of being expelled by his clan, his family was killed, and he was bullied, so he gave up the idea of giving up. In the following ten years, he relied on his faith to overcome all the difficulties. When he came out, the master looked at him and smiled, and it only took one day to teach him all the head-lowering techniques. And in half a day, he destroyed all the people in Fanbang and became the king of Fanbang at that time. Yao Daoren pointed to the mural: "That era is known as the ancient Luo Middle Period, but the style of clothes you see is from that time." It's just that this ancient Luo Zhongji only survived for a year and disappeared, and it is unknown how it disappeared. ”
He finished his gaze on the mural. Brother Mengyao couldn't help but complain: "How can someone not eat or drink for ten years and not die, it's impossible." ”
"It's possible, as long as a person's belief exceeds his determination, it is possible to achieve, not eating or drinking water means that he has successfully Bigu, the so-called Bigu is generally a person who cultivates the Tao and cultivates the law and cultivates the law will deliberately try, after all, the people who can do it without eating or drinking water are generally people who are about to ascend or who have ascended to the profundity of the Dao."
Taoyuan said and turned around in the stone cave for a while: "Then now I want to ask, how to go, since it is a labyrinth, it must not be so simple to exit." ”
Deng Yuqing looked around: "I can't find any road that can draw a clear route, this is the only way, go down." He said and walked away.
Several people are cautiously following behind, because of the reason that there is no light and no ventilation all year round, the road here is wet and slippery, as long as you are not careful, you may fall, so several people are very careful when walking, this road is very long, and there is still no end in sight after walking for twenty minutes.
"Isn't it the end of the story?" Brother Mengyao could feel the pungent smell through the gas mask, and he felt a lot irritable in his heart. Deng Yuqing also knew that she was uncomfortable, but now there was really no way: "If you endure it any longer, it will definitely come soon." ”
He said that the pace of his feet slowed down a little, and several people followed, and it was ten minutes later that the road finally showed its sharp corners.
Looking at the end happily: "It's here." ”
They walked in quickly, but as soon as they entered, they were confused, because this was the place they had just left!
"How did you go back to the place where the mural was just now?" Taoyuan was also dumbfounded, looking at the familiar mural, several people were half cold in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
