In fact.

There is no need for Jin An to say it.

Many people have already recognized the dead man on the lower half of his body as the ferryman from the underworld.

For example, the person who deals with the ferryman of the underworld the most.

Another example is sharpening the sword.

It's just that he sharpened his sword and was in a daze, never saying unnecessary words.

The old man who was the ferryman of the underworld also had some impressions, and after being reminded by the Daoist of Jin'an, the old man also felt that the clothes of this dead corpse were indeed a little like the ferryman of the underworld. ”

At this time, the abbot of Bailong Temple also approached and agreed with Jin'an's statement.

"It's just that there are a few things that the old man can't figure out......"

"How did the ferryman of the underworld die in the tomb?"

"Why is there only the lower half of the body left running around in the tomb?"

"Why didn't the little naughty monkey he kept with him stay with him?"

The inner question of the abbot of Bailong Temple is also the question that Jin An is pondering.

"Maybe the little monkey is still alive, and the tree is scattered. Maybe he died in some corner with the upper body of the ferryman in the underworld, if you want to know the truth, I'm afraid you have to rely on this half-body corpse right now. ”

Subsequently, Jin An planned to let the half-body lead the way.

He was curious.

This half-body is running around in the tomb, where does it want to go?

The others only groaned slightly, and almost instantly reached a consensus and agreed to Jin An's proposal.

Thereupon.

Jin An was involved in the bundle of corpses in his hands.

Let the half-body lead the way.

When the half-body was loosened from the five-flower tie, the old Taoist priest still felt at ease and pasted a circle of corpse suppression talisman on the waist of the half-body corpse.

As soon as the half-body got out of trouble, this time he continued to drill into the ruins of the main burial chamber, but fortunately he had a rope tied to his waist, and he couldn't run if he wanted to.

"Little brother, you said that this ferryman from the underworld killed so many people along the way, and used so many lives to take his life by borrowing the underworld, how could such an old and sinister character in the city suddenly die in this ancient tomb?"

"According to common sense, this kind of person is usually the old Wang Bacai who has been stinking for 10,000 years and lives the longest......"

"Hey, even such a sinister and cunning character as the ferryman of the underworld has capsized in the gutter in the ancient tomb of the lord of Teng Kingdom, and the next road is far more dangerous than imagined. ”

Jin An was leading the corpse in front, and Lao Dao followed closely by Jin An's side, muttering a little in his heart.

Jin An didn't say much, and continued to lead the rope and let the half-body lead the way: "Aren't we just looking for answers." ”

The old Taoist priest glanced at the half-corpse......

"Poof. ”

In the dark, everyone looked serious, and followed the half-corpse solemnly, and the old Taoist priest suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter, breaking the seriousness of the tomb and depressing the atmosphere.

This inexplicable smile, in this ancient tomb, not to mention how mad it is.

"Old man, have you fallen into evil?"

Jin An, who was close at hand, looked at the old Taoist priest beside him speechlessly.

Under the faint halo of the torch, the old Taoist priest rubbed his hands with his eyebrows and smiled: "Old Dao, I just thought of a funny thing just now, and I couldn't hold back for a while. ”

"Don't say it's all about walking dogs and teasing birds. ”

"I can't imagine that with you, little brother, we can still walk the corpse once......"

"Sister, are you right?" the old Taoist priest did not forget to glance in the direction of the country goddess, and the person couldn't help but chuckle again.

Country Goddess: "?"

Jin An: "?"

Lieutenant: "?"

The three monks of the White Dragon Temple: "?"

Everyone: "......"

No matter how much talk and laughter were here, the sword was still in a daze, silent and unmoved all the way, as if they were two people outside the door of the tomb before.

The half-body led Jin An all the way to a corner of the rubble pile in the main burial chamber, and then began to burrow into a narrow gap under the rubble.

Torches have limited illumination and do not illuminate the concrete environment under the rubble.

The old Taoist priest said at this time: "Little brother, do you still remember the direction of the coffin of the tomb owner that I mentioned to you in the hanging coffin burial canyon?"

"The construction of tombs is built in strict accordance with the five elements of heaven and earth, so the placement of the coffin also follows the eight trigrams, the coffin is facing the kun position, and the feet are facing the gen. ”

"Old Dao, I just roughly positioned the lower position, and the place where we are standing now should be the location of the coffin of the Tengguo Lord. We should now be standing on the throne, that is, the dragon head of the Teng Kingdom Lord or the Dragon King. ”

"Standing on the dragon king's dragon's head?"

The others also heard the old Taoist priest's words, and looked at the rubble pile and ruins under their feet with strange eyes.

Although it is said that stepping on people's graves and cutting off children and grandchildren.

It's called being overwhelmed.

It will provoke an ominous one.

But they went down to the Yinyi River this time, and they came to dig up the grave to get rid of the Dragon King, but everyone didn't have so many folk scruples.

There are too many rocks collapsed in this main tomb, and the space of the rubble pile is too narrow, which is inconvenient for people to move normally. Fortunately, there are many people who come this time, and it is fast to clean up these rocks.

But this time the old Taoist priest was wrong.

There was no coffin found under the pile of rubble, but a three-legged bronze round belly was dug up.

The bronze tripod has been worn by the years and the vicissitudes of history, a majestic, atmospheric, heavy sense of historical antiquity, rushing to the face, giving people a sense of heaviness of history.

The bronze round tripod is very large, not to mention that it is more than enough to be used as a coffin, it is more than enough to be used as a husband and wife for a joint burial.

This bronze round belly is composed of two parts, the lower part is the round belly and three legs, and the top cover of the upper part.

It's just that this bronze round belly tripod has long been seriously smashed by the collapsed rock, and the surface pattern is seriously damaged.

Even the lid of the bronze round belly tripod was smashed out of a big hole by falling stones, making the heavy bronze round tripod that was originally sealed flawed.

The half-body corpse was impatiently trying to enter the bronze round-bellied dome at this time.

It seems that there is something in the ding that attracts it very much.

"This bronze round belly is so big, and the tomb here is not big, how did the people of a thousand years ago move in?"

Looking at such a big bronze bump in front of him, he said in surprise.

Du Wei explained: "To build ancient tombs, especially large mausoleums with a lot of construction, it is not necessary to use mules and horses from the outside world to transport materials in little by little, after all, that is not realistic. ”

"For example, like stones, they are hollowed out of the belly of the mountain, and the materials are taken locally, polished and carved on the spot. ”

"Perhaps in this mountain, craftsmen have also found a copper vein, directly in the tomb to cast a bronze tripod, in some of the tomb's side halls should be able to find some tools left back then. ”

After Du Wei finished explaining, he looked at Jin An: "This bronze tripod has limited space and can't enter too many people, so it's better to let me and Dao Chang Jin An go in together to investigate the situation first." ”

Subsequently, Jin An handed the corpse rope to the sword, and asked the sword to look at the half-body corpse, if the half-body was threatened, he could directly cut off the two legs to prevent this thing from making any trouble.

Originally, the old Taoist priest was itchy and wanted to follow Jin An and Du Wei into the bronze round belly tripod to have a glimpse, but the old Taoist priest's old body was decisively rejected by Jin An, and he was asked to stay and take care of the sword.

Only when the old Taoist priest and the sword are together, Jin An can rest assured of the two of them.

Subsequently, Jin An and Duwei, who were vigorous and vigorous, made several leaps on the bronze tripod, and easily entered the tripod from the hole in the top cover.

"Little brother, what's going on inside, are you okay with Du Wei?" the old Taoist priest shouted nervously towards Ding.

Dingnei was silent for a while, and then Jin An's dull response in Dingnei came: "We're fine, there's no danger here, Lao Dao, you really said it, this Ding is a coffin, we seem to have found a human dragon corpse, let's come out immediately......"

Human dragon corpse?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the bronze round belly ding, it was the first time they had seen a dragon!

Could it be that the descriptions on those inscriptions about the lord of Teng are true, and the lord of a small country thousands of years ago is really the reincarnation of a true dragon?

Jin An and Du Wei didn't stay long in the tripod, the two of them held torches, and their skills were as agile as two leopards leaping out of the bronze tripod.

They didn't come out empty-handed, and they had an extra dead body in their hands.

Everyone immediately gathered around and asked in amazement, could this be the lord of the Teng Kingdom?

The reason why I think that this corpse is the dragon king on the ground is because this corpse is different from ordinary people, and the surface of the body has a shallow layer of triangular scale armor like snake scales and fish scales.

In particular, the snake scales on the face are the most, and the whole face is covered by a thick layer of scales, and the outline of the facial features can no longer be distinguished at all, and the facial features are extremely distorted and grandiose.

Of course, the human dragon was too dead to die, because each of the human dragon's limbs was nailed to death by a coffin nail, and those coffin nails were engraved with scriptures and nailed through the keel. In particular, one of the coffin nails covered by the Heavenly Spirit was the most deadly, completely submerged into the skull, leaving only a black rumbling hole.

"This coffin's method of nailing evil spirits seems to be the usual method of the corpse bearer, could it be that this dragon king was nailed to death in the bronze coffin by the corpse bearer who entered the ancient tomb before us......?

This human dragon has been completely dispersed, the three souls and seven spirits have been completely dead, and after losing a body of yin qi cultivation to nourish the flesh, the body has shrunk and lacked water, like a human dragon stranded on the shore, and has become a dry corpse.

The muscles are black.

The scales on the surface of the body are also black and dull.

It was the first time for everyone to observe the dragon king so closely, and they were all amazed, and they were amazed that it was the first time they had seen the legendary dragon king, and it turned out that the dragon king looked so ugly?

It is also too different from the human dragon with its horns and tail behind it in the mural.

"In those small countries that are not highly civilized, in order to consolidate his dominance, the lord of one side claims to be the reincarnation of a god, which is used to fool the people, strengthen the rule of the people under his rule, and deliberately mythologize the image of the lord of the country, which is not without precedent in historical records. ”

Jin An squatted next to the corpse of the human dragon and retorted.

At this time, General Duwei said politely to the Hongzhao monk of the White Dragon Temple: "The one who appeared in the main tomb may not be the real Dragon King, Master Hongzhao, we just found some Tengguo characters in the Ding, and it is suspected that the people in the Dingzhou carved them with their fingers, we don't know those Tengguo characters, and we have to trouble Master Hongzhao again." ”

Monk Hongzhao folded his hands and pronounced the Buddha's name, accompanied by Monk Kongming, and entered the Ding to check the words together.

On the contrary, Jin An, who was squatting next to the corpse on the ground, frowned and groaned, and kept staring at the corpse in front of him, as if he was pondering something?

Du Wei saw that Jin An's state was wrong, and was about to ask Jin An what was wrong, if there was anything to discover, but at this moment, the half-body of the ferryman in the underworld who was bound by the corpse rope, after seeing the human dragon corpse on the ground, actually began to go crazy and interrupted Du Wei's inquiry.

"Why is the half-body of the ferryman in the underworld so eager to find this human dragon corpse?"

Jin An saw that the half-body corpse was struggling more and more violently, and after thinking for a while, he nodded towards the sharpening sword and said, "Sharpening the sword, you carefully put it over little by little, and see what it is looking for." ”

Although the sword was wooden and in a daze, the movement in his hand was not slow, and he immediately slowly put down the long bundle of corpses.

As soon as the half-body approached the human dragon corpse on the ground, this thing actually clicked, kicked off the waist of the human dragon corpse, and then lay down on the ground, desperately trying to fuse itself with the upper body of the human dragon corpse.

As a result, the circle of corpse suppression talismans in the waist and abdomen of the half-body corpse flashed with golden talismans and cinnabar red mangs, and the two corpses could not be fused together no matter how they fused.

The half-body corpse had no hands, and could not remove those corpse talismans, and it was twisted and corrupted on the ground, and in the lonely ancient tomb that lacked popularity, there was an inexplicable sense of joy.

Belch......

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The half-body corpse of the relationship has spent so much effort, and there are no earth-shattering secrets, just just trying to find a dead corpse to make do.

Jin An was also amused by the funny half-body on the ground: "Is this considered a living idiom, Zhang Guan Li Dai?"

“？”

Let's take a look at Jin An, and the old Taoist, these two people are sick in the brain, since they went down into the ancient tomb, everyone's atmosphere is so tense that only these two bold Taoist priests of the Five Organs Taoist Temple can laugh heartlessly.

On the other side, the monk Hongzhao has made progress in deciphering the Tengguo script, and everyone has also gathered around.

"Hui Duwei, abbot, the human dragon corpse on the ground is not the dragon king we are looking for, but one of the sons of the lord of Tengguo, there are many descendants of the lord of Tengguo, he knows that the limit is coming, and he is afraid that there will be no descendants to guard his soul after his death, so he sealed his favorite son alive in the bronze tripod, created a fake mound, and hid from the sky and the sea. ”

"If anyone walks here and opens this bronze tripod rashly, he will be killed by the human dragon corpse that died tragically in the tripod alive. ”

"The more miserable this person dies, the higher his status before his death, and the more he can't let go of the glory, wealth and obsession of the yang world, the heavier the resentment of heaven and earth after death. In order to protect his real mausoleum from being discovered, the lord of Teng did not hesitate to kill his own son, so that his own son would live forever to guard the filial piety hall for him and guard the mausoleum for him. ”

The hot-tempered monk Kongming couldn't help but break the monk's anger at this time, and scolded angrily: "People often say that tigers don't eat children, but the heart of the lord of Tengguo is so vicious, everything we have seen along the way, the sins he has committed are worse than animals." ”

Monk Kongming got angry, he didn't scold enough, and he wanted to continue scolding, but when he saw the gaze of the abbot of Bailong Temple, Monk Kongming stopped.

He knew that he had broken the monastic vows this time.

When he returned, he took the initiative to go to the precept hall to receive the punishment.

"Little brother, no wonder the old Taoist said, how can the terrain here go higher and higher, the dragon king does not get wet, but runs aground on the shore, the feeling is that the lord of the Teng country wants to hide his true mausoleum with a fake tomb, and he doesn't want his son to gain power, and the hidden dragon ascends to heaven. The lord of Tengguo took all the benefits by himself, so that his son couldn't even drink a mouthful of soup. Don't they all say that the father and son didn't have an overnight feud, and I don't know how much gap and suspicion the father and son are, Lao Tzu actually persecuted his own son so much. ”

The old Taoist priest stood beside Jin An and muttered in a low voice.

Jin An: "Isn't there an ancient proverb that says, 'Since ancient times, the most ruthless emperor's family', this is a living example." ”

Monk Hongzhao was not affected by Monk Kongming, and continued to speak: "When this human dragon was sealed alive in the Ding, the person was still alive, and in despair and struggle, he cracked his nails and cracked his fingerbones, and left those words in the Ding with hatred that penetrated into his bones. In his desperation, he also left a sentence, saying that the reason why the lord of Teng country took such a lot of trouble was because the lord of Teng country had found the secret of eternal life, and wanted to use the dragon pool to come back from the dead, soar from the hidden dragon in the abyss, and do it again......"

"What do you do again? Master Hongzhao doesn't have to be scrupulous, your next words are just to relay the words of a dead man, and I will exonerate you. Du Wei saw that Monk Hongzhao had concerns, so he made a promise and took the initiative to dispel the other party's concerns.

Monk Hongzhao folded his hands, looked at his nose and nose, and did not dare to look directly at Du Wei's reply: "The lord of Teng Kingdom wants to use the dragon pool to come back from the dead, soar into the sky from the hidden dragon in the abyss, and then be the Ninety-Five Supreme." ”

"Bold!"

"A small lord who has been dead for a thousand years dares to vainly try to be a saint after a thousand years, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead! When the Dragon King Temple was built, it seems that it is not enough to use four dry bone piles to drive him back into the abyss, so that he will never turn over!"

The lieutenant's angry shout really revealed a lot of information.

Du Wei no longer concealed this matter, so he talked about what happened back then, when he listened to Du Wei's words, everyone was surprised and reasonable, that the Dragon King Terrace and Dragon King Temple were indeed built by the imperial court.

There is no shortage of skilled feng shui masters in the imperial court, these feng shui masters are not only to measure the land of the whole world, but also to find the best feng shui treasures for the royal family to build mausoleums.

The construction of this royal mausoleum is not an overnight thing, and it often takes one or two decades to start construction.

Later, when a feng shui master passed by the big corner of Fucheng, the ability of this feng shui master is indeed extraordinary, saying that this big corner is a hidden dragon land, and there is a river dragon stranded under the Yinyi River, and when the water rises every year in the rainy season, the river dragon will raise its head once, and want to fly the dragon in the sky. But this river dragon is too close to the Ninety-Five Supreme, and it has already threatened the Ninety-Five Qi Number, and who this Ninety-Five Qi Number is, naturally there is no need to point it out.

Therefore, some people don't want to see this dragon soaring into the clouds and soaring into the sky, but they want him to fall into the abyss forever, never raise his head, and never look up at the Ninety-Five Supreme who pressed on his head.

However, due to the conditions at that time, it was impossible to cut off the flow of the Yinyi River, and because the qi of the dragon crossing the river was so weak that it was not even qualified to let the court face it squarely, so he ordered the feng shui master to build the Dragon King Temple and the Dragon King Platform at the big corner, lay four dry bone piles, and press the water with fire, so that the dragon crossing the river under the Yinyi River could not raise his head for a lifetime, and could not turn over for a lifetime.

Eternal life and eternity cannot ascend to heaven.

Eternal life and eternity are trapped under the dark Yinyi River.

Unexpectedly, a Yinyi River was involved in so many court secrets, and everyone was dumbfounded.

"Haven't you been worried that there will be risks in eliminating the Dragon King this time?"

"Don't worry, there are the four dry bone piles of the Dragon King Tai to nail the dragon king under the Yinyi River, even if this dragon king is a thousand-year-old corpse who has practiced for thousands of years, he can't exert his full strength. ”

When Du Wei said this, the corner of his eyes seemed to sweep around the people present: "As for telling you about this kind of court secrets, whether it will cause trouble, you don't have to worry. This is not a big deal, and there are not a few people in the court who know about it. ”

"Moreover, our trip to the Yinyi River was originally to pacify the Dragon King, and after pacifying the Dragon King, you are not only rescuing the people of Wuzhou Mansion from the dire situation, but also a great merit. At the same time, it is also a great merit to clean up the side of the couch for the holy monarch, and you are not going down to the Yinyi River this time to be crowned an official and a knight, and to seek a stability and wealth for future generations. ”

"Old Dao, let's burn this corpse on the ground first. ”

Jin An's words took the lead in breaking the silent atmosphere in the ancient tomb, the old Taoist priest secretly glanced at Jin An's calm and usual face, responded with a good sound, and then poured Sanyang wine on the corpse of the human dragon on the ground, lit it with the torch in his hand, and burned it.

With the help of the raging jumping fire of the crematorium, everyone continued to discuss, what should be the next step?

"Since this is a fake tomb, where will the real mausoleum be? The mausoleum is not small, but it is not big, this mountain range is so wide, and we are in the belly of the mountain, if we really want to find a mausoleum, it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

"I think the real mausoleum of the lord of Tengguo is still nearby, I don't know if you have noticed it, among those people who went down to the tomb earlier, they only had footprints that entered the main tomb, and did not walk out of the main tomb, indicating that they have not walked out of this main tomb, there should be a secret passage or something. We'll look carefully, and we may be able to find it. ”

Not to mention, this search really gave me some important clues that were buried by the rocks.

In this main burial chamber, there are not only the bronze round belly ding, but there are also many grooves in the walls, and there are many poisonous arrows, regia water spouts, bow and crossbow beds, and fire oil spouts in the grooves on those walls.

These mechanisms may have been designed to be so ingenious that tomb robbers could not be guarded against, but now they have all been destroyed, and they have become a sea of life buried in ruins.

As a result, digging and digging, ah!

Suddenly there were a few screams, and when Jin An immediately turned around and looked in the direction behind him, he couldn't find the figure of the old Taoist priest and the sword, and the two crying brothers disappeared mysteriously.
