Chapter 256: Smoke

"Ah Wu, Qing Sheng, prepare to put explosives on it, and directly blow up the door of this tomb. ”

The Captain's method was crude and simple.

The lieutenant is a general in the army.

There is nothing strange that he went down to the Yinyi River with explosives that belonged to the controlled items of the imperial court.

Just as two burly men came out of those iron guards, holding explosives in their hands, and were about to blow open the tomb door, the sharpening of the sword, which had been wooden and silent, suddenly stopped the captain.

"This tomb door can't be blown up. ”

"This tomb door is closed with the lead and mercury venom left over from the Taoist alchemy, once the tomb door is blown open, so many of us will not be able to escape these highly toxic lead and mercury venom and poisonous gas. ”

Sharpening the sword suddenly spoke, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

Jin An chuckled in his heart.

It is the so-called tree that attracts the wind.

Really.

Du Wei carefully looked at the sword sharpening this time: "The little brother of the sword sharpening, do you see that there is something wrong with this tomb gate?"

Sharpening Sword didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Jin An, who was too late to stop at this time, so he could only nod at Sharpening Sword and let Sharpening Sword answer Du Lieutenant's question.

After getting Jin An's approval, Mu Ran replied: "This tomb gate is black as a whole, like Lei Gongmo, it looks like it is deliberately creating an atmosphere, highlighting the evil of those evil intentions in the tomb gate mountain, and scaring away outsiders." But Lei Gongmo is usually rare, and most of them are in the shape of sporadic stars and raindrops, and it is basically impossible to see such a large piece of Lei Gongmo used to carve and polish into a tomb door. ”

"This should be a layer of hollow inside the tomb door, which seals the lead and mercury venom of Taoist alchemy, and slowly erodes the stone over the years, so it gradually turns into black stone. ”

This is the first time that a sword has been sharpened, and he has said such a long paragraph at once.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest both looked at the sharpening sword in surprise.

Since going down to the cemetery, the performance of the sword sharpening along the way has begun to become more and more active, like a precursor before awakening the memory.

Listening to the words of the sword, Du Wei showed an interested look in his eyes, and he was very interested in the sword: "It seems that several Taoist masters of the Five Visceral Daoist Temple have their own merits, and each of them has extraordinary skills." Daoist Jin An is good at subduing demons and eliminating demons, Daoist Chen is good at feng shui metaphysics and can fix the acupoints, and the little brother who sharpens the sword also knows a lot of knowledge about ancient tombs?"

Jin An's eyebrows twisted inadvertently.

Some are worried that the lieutenant will ask the origin of the sword and break the casserole.

Fortunately.

Du Wei didn't get to the bottom of the sword cutting, the most important thing at the moment was how to open the tomb door, Du Wei asked the sword for advice: "Since the little brother of the sword cutting can see the origin of this tomb door, I don't know if the little brother of the sword can open this tomb door?"

The Lieutenant seemed to really believe the words of the sword.

He didn't let his subordinates rush to blow up the tomb door with explosives, but wanted to hear how to open the tomb door with a sword.

If this tomb door is really sealed with the lead and mercury left over from the Taoist alchemy, it is highly poisonous.

When the time comes to blow up the tomb door, they must not only beware of the lead and mercury poison, but also the poison gas volatilized by the lead and mercury poison.

These poisonous gases are the death of the living.

This is also a cave in the belly of the mountain.

If they want to wait for these poisonous gases to dissipate naturally, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the tomb in ten days and half months.

Therefore, no matter whether what the sword said is true or not, the lieutenant can't afford to take this risk, and he can't afford to drag on for ten days and half a month.

With a wooden sword, he walked to the tomb door and began to grope his fingers carefully on the tomb door, not afraid of the evil carvings on the tomb door.

"Like the stonemasons who built the ancient tomb, on the day the ancient tomb was built, they would be killed by the owner of the tomb and buried in the burial pit or sealed in the tomb to prevent these stonemasons from revealing the location of the ancient tomb. For thousands of years, the stonemasons and the tomb owners have been fighting wits and courage, and in order to survive, the stonemasons will secretly leave secret passages for themselves when building ancient tombs......"

When he said this, he sharpened his sword and pointed at it, as if he had touched something on the tomb door, and then pressed it hard.

Click-

Because of the dark environment, the tomb door, which seems to be integrated, actually leaves a hidden passage that can be moved, and is pushed inward by the sword to only accommodate one person to crawl through the dark passage, similar to a dog east.

Seeing that the sharpened sword really found a way out, everyone present had their eyes lit up.

began to sharpen the sword all the way to the wooden and silent sword, and looked impressed.

Only Jin An and the old Taoist priest were not happy.

Because there is a saying that "the tree is big and the wind is blowing".

Sharpening Sword decided to wait for a chance to find no one, and secretly said hello to Sharpening Sword, striving for a stable word, don't expose our identity as a thief.

"The little brother of the sword sharpening is really a god, and he can see the hidden mechanism of the tomb door, and he can carefully find out the secret escape path left by those stonemasons, and the little brother of the sword cutting knows a little about robbing the tomb or two?"

You can't hide from what you should have.

Fortunately, Jin An had already thought of a good statement, so he took the initiative to stand up and explain for the sword: "The Five Visceral Dao Guan is willing to save the people of Li and kill the demons, and it is incumbent on him." So occasionally I encounter a few tomb robbers who come to the door for help after encountering evil spirits, and my apprentice is enthusiastic and studious, and it seems logical that I have heard some knowledge about tomb robbers from the mouth of the tomb robbers, right?"

Du Wei thought for a moment and smiled at Jin An: "It is indeed very logical. ”

I don't know if the captain's smile has some kind of meaningful meaning.

Since the secret passage of the tomb door was found, everyone began to enter the cemetery in an orderly manner, but before entering the cemetery, someone shouted to everyone: "Wait." ”

This time it was Jin An who stopped everyone.

Jin An found a torch and threw it directly into the tomb behind the narrow passage of the tomb door, and saw that the torch had been burning normally and had not been extinguished by lack of oxygen, so he explained:

"This ancient tomb has been closed for so long, no one knows whether this tomb is sealed or has ventilation holes, be cautious, and always be prepared. ”

"Could it be that this meticulous mind of Daoist Jin An was also influenced by the tomb robbers when they exorcised evil spirits?" Du Wei winked at Jin An.

Jin An looked at Du Wei fearlessly: "This should be very logical, right?"

Du Wei laughed: "It is indeed very logical. ”

After the lieutenant finished laughing, he waved his big hand and went down to the tomb.

This time, everyone climbed through the dog hole without any problems.

The heavily armored iron guards were in trouble, taking off their armor and disassembling the tower shield, and after entering the ancient tomb, they put on again and tossed for a long time.

Behind the tomb door is a Yongdao, the Yongdao is quite spacious, it is the passage that is chiseled out by artificial hard in the mountain wall, and there are still many traces of artificial excavation on the cave wall.

At first, when I was outside, I didn't notice it, but after I got through the tomb door, I found that there were dozens of dead people's bones behind the tomb door.

Those people have been dead for years.

Only dry bones have long been left.

The clothes on the bones were also rotten and covered with a thick layer of dust.

Picking up the dust on the clothes, they are all the burlap clothes of ordinary people.

"Abbot, could it be that these are the poor stonemasons who were trapped in the tomb after the cemetery was built? ”

Although he was old, he had a strong body and wore a large Buddhist prayer bead around his neck, and said after squatting down to examine the bones.

At this time, everyone also noticed the death of these bones, and they were all the same without exception.

The bones near the eye sockets are bursting, cracked.

It's like being torn open by someone alive, gouging out the eyeballs of the people in their sockets, and being subjected to horrific capital punishment before death.

Looking at the dozens of dry bones on the ground, it seems that you can still hear their terrible screams before they died hundreds of years ago, and the strong longing for their families, parents, wives and children.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

They are all well aware.

These ordinary stonemasons, even if they can get away with it, can't escape so many weird and vicious places outside.

To these ordinary people, those fierce lands are Jedi who have no life.

After saying a word to the bones of these poor people on the ground, everyone continued to walk deeper into the corridor.

As they walked in, stone steps began to appear, and as they went higher and higher, they went deeper and deeper into the belly of the mountain.

These stone steps are all carved out of the belly of the mountain with artificial and human life.

The surface is rough with obvious excavation marks.

"This terrain is getting higher and higher, all the way is dry, full of dust, there is not even a moss, strange, little brother, you say, if this tomb is really buried with the Dragon King, this ancient tomb is the Dragon King's Dragon Palace, shouldn't it be soaked in the Yinyi River?"

"Because the dragon king is good water. ”

"But why is it the opposite here, but the terrain is getting higher and higher, and it looks like you don't want the Dragon King to gain power?"

The old Taoist priest held a torch in one hand and the wide sleeves of his robe in the other to cover his mouth and nose to prevent inhaling dust.

This tomb has been sealed for too long.

The stone steps were covered with a thick layer of dust.

The air currents driven by people walking around blow up the dust on the stone steps, and under the dim light of the torches, a large number of dust particles float in the air.

"It's a little weird. ”

Jin An, the old Taoist priest, the sword sharpening, the country goddess, and the general Duwei are at the forefront.

Because he sharpened his sword and revealed his hand before, Du Wei specially invited a few people from the Five Visceral Taoist Temple to walk in front with him to open the way.

After passing through the stone steps carved out of the mountain wall, they entered the burial chamber with a large platform.

This burial chamber is large.

Even if there are so many of them, they are not satisfied.

The first thing you see is a sarcophagus in the center of the tomb.

On the sarcophagus coffin stands a huge cast iron stele, writing the life of the tomb owner, the pig iron stele is made roughly, but it is better than thick and heavy, and it is estimated that it is not much lighter than the gate weighing several tons.

It seems that it is just to use weight to suppress the contents of the sarcophagus coffin, so I don't care if the appearance is beautiful or not?

And after so many years, the surface of the pig iron tablet has long been decayed.

Even those handwritings have already corroded with the years, and a lot of damage has been lost.

Under the light of the torches, they also noticed that the four walls of the tomb were carved with frescoes.

The murals are carved with vivid people, carriages, ......

All of them describe the life of the tomb owner, all of them are luxurious, luxurious life, hunting from the surrounding mountains, and traveling with hundreds of followers.

"It's going to be such a big battle on a trip, I'm afraid it's not much better than the royal family, shouldn't this tomb owner really be the lord of a small country in the past?"

The old Taoist priest was amazed, said enviously, and just wanted to turn his head and continue to discuss with Jin An, but Jin An asked him where the tomb was in the southeast corner.

Old Taoist: "?"

The old Taoist priest pointed to a corner, and then asked curiously: "Little brother, what are you doing, why are you planting a torch in the southeast corner?"

Jin An had a very serious expression: "Light a candle in the southeast corner, and the light will not touch the gold when the light is out." ”

The old Taoist priest was stunned: "Little brother, are you very experienced?"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he actually nodded in agreement: "However, little brother, you are not wrong, the southeast corner is indeed the most important wind gate Xun hexagram in the Yin House, and the lights in the southeast corner are off, which means that the air in this tomb is thin, and it is not suitable for the living to continue to stay in the tomb, otherwise they will suffocate and die in the tomb, and maybe they will change after death." ”

"The cemetery is a yin house, and it is often the most particular about yin and yang gossip feng shui. In the gossip, 'dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, the earthquake is the thunder, Xun is the wind, the Gen is the mountain, the dui is the ze, the kan is the water, and the separation is the fire', the wind gate represents the Xun hexagram, which is also in this position in the southeast corner. Generally speaking, the door of the tomb and the main vent will be in the southeast corner to drain the yin qi from the tomb, so as not to give birth to the lonely yin and the lonely yang will not grow, and the yin qi will be too heavy, so that the dead corpses in the tomb will become and rise up corpses. ”

"Of course, this Xun hexagram wind door also has the purpose of ventilating the yin house, so the southeast corner has the strongest air circulation, if the southeast corner can't even light candles, it means that the air is thin and not suitable for living people to stay......"

The old man's words haven't been finished yet, poof-

The torch that Jin An had just inserted in the southeast corner was suddenly extinguished, and the position in the southeast corner was suddenly darkened, and the old Taoist priest with the thirteenth zodiac sign belonging to the crow's mouth was hit by him again.

The old Taoist priest was suddenly shocked.

"It's not good, the air in this tomb is thin, and it's not suitable for the living!"

But Jin An and Du Wei were unmoved, Du Wei walked over, looked up at the top of the tomb, and there was a dark cave entrance.

The hole was probably enough for two people to pass through.

Just now, it was here that the air flow from outside blew in, blowing out the torch in Jin An's hand.

Unexpectedly, a robbery hole was found in the tomb, which was really unexpected by everyone, and everyone present gathered around.

"This robbery hole is really amazing, impartial, just hit the position of the Fengmen Xun hexagram, this tomb robber's ability can be called a top master. ”

The big man with the eyebrows who kicked the fight with Kui Xing was the one who dealt with corpses and monsters the most, maybe he didn't deal with tomb robbers on weekdays, and said in surprise.

"Could it be that this thief hole was hit by someone else who entered the ancient tomb before us?"

"No wonder, I'll just say, the tomb door has not been destroyed, how did those people enter the ancient tomb, it turns out that one of us mixed in with a powerful tomb robber, and directly stole the hole into the ancient tomb, so naturally we don't have to go through the hanging coffin burial canyon and the tomb door that is both a dead weapon and a mechanism. ”

The more Kui Xing kicked the fight, the more surprised he became.

But the lieutenant saw something unusual about the robbery hole above his head.

"The marks near this robbery hole don't look like they're new, but like they've been made a long time ago. It seems that a group of people have entered this ancient tomb long before us. ”

"It is estimated that other people have discovered the robbery hole left by their predecessors, so they followed this robbery hole to the ancient tomb. ”

The Lieutenant frowned deeply.

Jin An and the abbot of Bailong Temple glanced at each other, and they were surprised, could this robbery cave be the group of tomb robbers from the Yinshan Dao people who were collectively folded in the tomb and raised water monkeys?
