Chapter 542: Tomb Exploration (2)
Entering the stone gate, it is a flat area, there is a huge stone pillar inside, above the stone pillar is carved a yellow five-clawed golden dragon, the golden dragon's eyes are round, and the clouds and mist rise under his feet, it looks like a living thing.
"Tsk, it's really a big deal, this golden dragon carving, I'm afraid it will take more than ten years, this craftsman's craftsmanship is really good."
The sloppy Taoist looked around the golden dragon, and then smacked his lips in admiration.
"The White Tiger Swallowing the Heavenly Cave, and below is the Golden Dragon Nest Hall, it's really powerful," a Taoist also sighed.
Next to the dragon pillar, there is a stone staircase that still winds upwards, each step seems to stick out from the stone wall, because there is nothing to support it underneath, it looks quite magical.
On the other side of the dragon pillar, there was a passage for two people to pass through, and on the walls on both sides, oil lamps were lit.
These oil lamps are not artificially lit, but placed with white scales, which have a very low ignition point, as long as there is a little heat, they will ignite, so after the tomb door is opened just now, those oil lamps will be automatically lit.
"If I'm not mistaken, this tomb should be a hanging coffin, and this stone staircase should lead to the hanging coffin so it's in place," said an old man softly.
"Yes, this mountain is not easy to enter and exit, it is impossible to have a large amount of property, there should be only one hanging coffin on the top, the hanging coffin is placed in the tiger's mouth, and the golden dragon is supported below, and the dragon qi is gathered below, and the luck of heaven is also rare."
The sloppy Daoist nodded, obviously satisfied with everyone's analysis, and then he looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Daoist Xiao, do you want to go up and have a look, this white tiger swallowing the sky is rare."
"Of course, since you're here, of course you have to go and see it."
Coming here, of course Xiao Yu can't go back empty-handed, this is also a tomb, if there is nothing valuable in it, it is estimated that it is impossible, and this white tiger swallowing the sky is also rare, how could he miss it.
When the professor and the occasional Taoist saw the sloppy Taoist say this, they immediately looked at the crowd, "Who else wants to go up, you can go together."
"Since you're here, of course you have to go in and have a look, the poor monk is willing to go with the two Taoist masters."
The monk who quit the void was in charge, and several other Taoists walked out one after another, willing to go up and have a look.
Next, the professor and the elder Dao Dao, as well as the others, all inspected the tomb below, while Xiao Yu and his party walked up the stone stairs in a mighty way.
Next, there was no danger on the stone stairs, and it was safe all the way, and after walking left and right for half an hour, everyone came to a stone gate again.
Standing here, everyone looked down, and then they saw that they and the others had actually entered the huge stone pillar, and they could see the body of a golden dragon with teeth and claws below.
"Wonderful, the golden dragon guards the coffin, this is the stroke of genius" The sloppy Taoist was full of praise.
"Presumably this is the place where the coffin is hidden, the tiger's mouth is open, and the ventilation should be good" Xiao Yu looked at Shimendao.
"Yes, this coffin is in a stone cave, and this door is to block the outside air from entering and prevent the tomb from weathering."
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look."
After the sloppy Taoist finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted the stone gate, but the stone gate was indifferent.
This stone gate is not big, just like the door of ordinary people's homes, the only difference is that there are some Buddhist scriptures engraved on this stone door.
There is a mechanism in the stone gate below, but there is nothing next to this stone gate.
Seeing that the old road couldn't be pushed away, Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward, and the two of them pressed their hands on the stone door, and then the white light on their hands gushed out and exerted force at the same time, only to hear a boom, and the stone door began to retreat to both sides.
The stone door was opened, and a cool air greeted me, and it looked dark inside, but a faint light could still be seen.
Several Taoist leaders lit candles and entered the stone gate one after another, which was the mouth of the white tiger and the key to the entire tomb.
With the help of the light of the candle, Xiao Yu and the others saw that this cave was not very high, estimated to be only two meters, and it looked very dry inside, and some bird droppings had fallen around.
On the walls of the cave, there are some scriptures depicted, and Xiao Yu doesn't know what they mean, but the Buddhist disciples behind him are all pious.
"What, how many masters do you know?"
Xiao Yu looked at the scriptures on the wall and immediately asked.
"Amitabha, this is a Buddhist scripture, the mantra of Jizo Bodhisattva".
"Jizo Bodhisattva Mantra?" Xiao Yu nodded, and then continued, "Since it is a Buddhist mantra, it is engraved here, presumably to cross the soul of the dead."
"Yes, the Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra can eliminate the evil consequences of this life, the evil consequences of the previous life, and transform the world to good, which is the supreme classic of Buddhism" The people of Buddhism put their hands together piously and bowed slightly to the scriptures.
Xiao Yu nodded, and did not answer, but took a few steps forward with a candle and came to the side of the sloppy Taoist, and the two looked at the depths of the cave together.
The cave is not very long, only fifty meters in appearance, and in the innermost part of the cave, there is a platform tens of centimeters high, and a sarcophagus is placed on the platform.
The sarcophagus was white, and the surroundings were empty, without any shelter, and there was no written record, so Xiao Yu and the others didn't know who it was in.
A person who wants to seize the position of the Son of Heaven, how can he leave his family name here, although it is hidden enough here, but everything is always absolute, once the East Window incident happens, it will be to destroy the Nine Clans!
Lao Dao stepped forward to look at the coffin, knocked on it, and then said, "Do you want to open it and take a look, maybe you can find something good."
If you want to talk about antiques, there is really nothing in it, not even a broken jar, so Xiao Yu doesn't think there will be anything in it.
"Forget it, since it's someone else's tomb, let's not bother, if we open someone else's coffin, isn't it a tomb robber?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Master Xiao is right, we just came here to have a look, so don't disturb the undead," a nun said with her hands folded.
The sloppy Taoist smiled, then patted the coffin, and then smiled, "Okay, then listen to you, let him sleep well."
After a while, Xiao Yu was also a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged, because the things he got were hundreds of times stronger than those antiques, which was a bumper harvest.
Next, everyone stood in the place of the tiger's mouth, where to observe, and then returned the same way, and looked in the tomb below, although some porcelain was found below, but it was all broken, and it had no value at all, where did the professor and others stay to continue their pretentious research, but Xiao Yu and others returned the same way.
When Xiao Yu and the others were exploring the tomb, the cultivation of the ghost corpse had also reached the most critical juncture.
The red hair is no longer falling out after falling out many times, but at this time, the hair has changed from the original black to white, and it looks like a white ape squatting from a distance.
