Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 23 Tai Sui in the Water
"Even if you want to have a good meaning, you have to seek truth from facts, what is it called the Palace of Eternal Life, how good is it called the Hall of Longevity!" The altar muttered, "However, I think the feng shui here is still good, and it must be rich and expensive to build a palace here." ”
I frowned: "When did you learn to read Feng Shui?" ”
"I learned from you!" Jar said.
"Then when did I say that the feng shui here is good?" I questioned the altar.
"Uh...... I guess! ”
"There is water in front of the palace here, which is still good according to feng shui, whether it is a yin house or a yang house, the location is OK. But it's underground, where does the wind come from? "Although there must be a place here that is connected to the outside world and is not breathable, the wind is not." And when we came, the place we passed through, there were dead bodies everywhere, which was equivalent to a cemetery, and it also exposed the corpse wilderness, which means that this is a mass grave that is not even as good as an ordinary cemetery. As for what the feng shui above our heads looks like, it's hard to say if we haven't seen it, but with this mass grave, no matter how good feng shui is, it's useless! ”
Tan Zi nodded, he looked up at the plaque engraved with "Eternal Life Palace" and read: "Eternal Life Palace, Eternal Life Palace, the name is quite nice!" ”
"On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Hall of Eternal Life, when no one whispers in the middle of the night!" Xu Yunshu read two lines of poetry.
"When no one is talking in the middle of the night? Eldest sister, when is it now, you still say such unlucky words, do you really think we have encountered a few corpses? "I don't know if the jar was intentional or if I really haven't heard these two lines of poetry.
"It's not 'when the corpse whispers', it's when the 'whispers', 'whispers'!" I corrected the jar and said, "This is the poem in Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred"! If you don't understand, ask more, don't be embarrassed. ”
"It turned out to be Bai Juyi's poem, why does it sound familiar?" The jar whispered.
"How can there be a Hall of Eternal Life here?" Xu Yunshu asked, "Is it really related to Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei?" ”
"Isn't it Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred"? Why is it related to Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei again? Jarzi interjected and asked.
"The Song of Long Hatred" is written about the love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei...... Big brother, shut your ignorant and amorous mouth! "I'm a little speechless.
"You asked me more if I didn't understand!" The altar didn't feel embarrassed at all, but looked like he was full of words.
I didn't entangle with the altar anymore, and instead said to Xu Yunshu: "I suddenly feel that this place has nothing to do with Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei...... I'm more inclined to the kind of immortality that the altar says now. ”
"Oh, why did you become so thoughtful?" Xu Yunshu asked.
"If someone really built this Hall of Eternal Life to commemorate the love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, then why did you build it under this dark underwater? It was built so secretly, I didn't want people to know about it at all. I expressed my own opinion while thinking about it, "I think if someone really wants to use this to commemorate the love between Li and Yang, it should be more about letting the world know about this relationship, just like Bai Juyi's purpose in writing "Song of Long Hatred", rather than secretly building it in this kind of place where no one may ever come." ”
After listening to my analysis, Xu Yunshu nodded frequently: "What you said really makes sense!" ”
I continued: "If you really want to use poetry, it should not be Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred", but Li Bai's poem with a particularly long name. ”
Xu Yunshu was confused: "A poem with a particularly long name? ”
I smiled: "It's because the name is too long that I don't remember it......"
The jar stinked, and I said, "So you are no better than me!" ”
"But I remember those two sentences!" I say.
"Tell me!" Xu Yunshu said.
"Bai Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor. The immortals caressed my top, and my hair was immortal...... I think the name of this 'Hall of Eternal Life' should come from here. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the door of the Hall of Eternal Life suddenly slowly opened, and the two doors that had existed for an unknown amount of time made a "squeak" sound, which was particularly harsh in this silent space.
Suddenly, the three of us felt a gust of wind rushing towards us from inside the wide open door of the temple. The wind was not very strong, but it was extremely cold, and it made us shiver a few times in succession.
"This door...... How did this door open on its own? Tanzi asked in disbelief.
"We're welcome inside!" I said, "Please enter the urn trick!" ”
"Shall we go in or not?" Jar asked.
"Can't go in!" I said, "Now go in and don't know what's waiting for us inside, that's a self-defeating snare!" "Xu Yunshu is not very bold, and she is also scared to see the door open by herself, so she also agrees with my approach of not acting rashly.
But at this moment, there was a sound of "bang-bang-bang" water behind us. It was the same sound as the three of us had just climbed out of the water to the shore. Before we could turn around, there were bursts of footsteps, step by step, slow but chaotic. This shows that it is not one or two people who came.
We turned around sharply, shone the bright searchlight in our hands into the way, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Everywhere we looked, there were human figures, but they were all mutilated and rotten, all of them were the Tai Sui we had just seen and passed by.
The jar grunted and swallowed: "Grandma's, how did these things live?" ”
"How did you live? It's not like you're a crow's mouth! I said, looking around. Looking at these Tai Sui's movements, it is not very fast, but the fatal thing is that there are too many of them, if there are two of them, it would be better to say some, but seeing more and more Tai Sui crawling ashore and walking towards us, the three of us have no time to rush to the shore and put on diving equipment. If we don't wear diving equipment, we will only be dead in the water, and even if we do, we may not be able to outrun these Tai Sui in the water.
"It doesn't matter, it's good that they're not fast......"
As soon as I finished speaking, the Tai Sui who walked in front seemed to have discovered us.
"Uh...... Uh....." It stopped, making a strange noise. Suddenly, it opened its mouth, and the bruise-purple rotten flesh on its face immediately tore open, revealing its rotten teeth, and then rushed at the three of us with its teeth and claws. With this rush, it even ran with all the Tai Sui, and the speed was faster than that of ordinary living people.
"What should I do?" Xu Yunshu asked anxiously.
"What else can I do? Run! "There's no time to think about it now, there's only one way to dodge.
The three of us turned around and ran towards the Hall of Eternal Life, rushing through the open gate.
