Chapter 33: The Secret Passage of the One-Way Mirror
Zhou Tong's words are very reasonable, although I am still stubborn and do not believe it, but I am still cold in my heart by what he said. If you want to live for a long time, my master has lived long enough, he has already proven the body of an earth immortal when he was in the Shang Dynasty, and I'm afraid it's not even that. Since he was able to let me come, it showed that he knew the owner of the tomb, and the character of the owner of the tomb was well known in his heart. Zhou Tong said that the owner of the tomb may have a change in his mentality if he lives too long, and I don't agree with it, which comes from my trust in my master.
But the next thing he said was very true, that it was entirely possible that I would have been robbed by the owner of the tomb as a tomb robber before I had time to prove my identity. The depiction of rebirth on the mural is completely the rebirth of the tomb owner, not a door for the latecomers, otherwise there would be no weak water.
Now it seems that neither the door of life nor the door of death is a way of life. I don't know what's behind the door of death, but Zhou Tong said that he feels fear, so the moment we open the door, we may be in a different place. Although the Shengmen is splendid, I really took a turn in the ghost gate just now.
But there is one thing I haven't figured out, if the owner of the tomb is trying to get the soul, the location of the living gate in front of me is still far from the main tomb, if my soul really can't return to the body, will he run over and take it by himself? Zhou Tong said that he couldn't understand this, if the owner of the tomb could move at will, there was no need to seize the trick, wouldn't it be over if he went out by himself.
Huzi listened to our questions and answers a little confused, he told me that if you don't go back the same way, although the bluestone slab above our heads is thick, but we may not be able to open it. If it's really dangerous, it's better to go back from where you came from.
I vetoed it without even thinking about it, of course it was easy to go back the same way, the only obstacle behind was the bronze armor corpse, and now I don't know what happened to Changqingzi and Dianza. But I was still able to do it with Huzi and I, but the problem is that it goes against my original purpose here. And I discovered a lot of secrets along the way, and now it's not just a trip for nothing, it is estimated that 500,000 will definitely not stop, and there will be endless troubles.
Zhou Tong said, "If you must insist on going inside, then I suggest that you order the sect leader's incense now, invite the acting sect leader, and it is best to let the acting sect leader bring more people." With my ability, I'm afraid I can't guarantee that you're foolproof, even if I show up directly and take action in person, it's okay to deal with a bronze armored corpse. After all, the immortal family also specializes in art, and I'm not very good at fighting. When Zhou Tong said this, the tiger on the side subconsciously touched his cheek, I guess you are not good at fighting?
After thinking about it, I silently summoned Chang Xiangjiu in my heart. There are only two people who can be summoned in my hall without lighting incense, that is, Chang Xiangjiu and Hu Botao, because they are my talisman and horse, and they are the first immortals to start contact with me, and they have basically reached the point of heart-to-heart, which is both like a contract and like a conjoined baby.
I silently recited a few words, Chang Xiangjiu appeared in front of me with a whirlwind, first hugged his fist with Zhou Tong, then nodded at Huzi, and finally asked me: "What is the matter with my brother, Botao and I are watching the excitement." โ
As soon as I heard him say this, I hurriedly gossiped and asked him: "Didn't you two spy on Qin Wuye and Zhang Ye's subordinates, what's so lively to see?" โ
Chang Xiangjiu smiled and said to me: "Brother, you don't know, as soon as you left on the front foot, those two groups of people started to move." The people surnamed Zhang were all with smoking guys, and they killed the two security teams on the spot. The security team is not as simple as you think, they are all ghosts, especially the cold-faced little girl, who directly summoned the son and mother from nowhere, and two of Zhang's subordinates ran out, and the entrance has been blown up by them. The remaining two people of the security team are fiddling with some equipment, and Xiao Niangpi is coming here, probably to find the surname Zhang to settle accounts. โ
Huzi blew up the temple after hearing this, and scolded Zhang Ye and Qin Wuye for not being good things. I didn't react as much as him, because I had already found some clues on the corpse in the secret room before, and I already had a basic idea of what this Qin Fifth Master was doing. On the contrary, this Zhang Ye is quite mysterious, he knows too much, and it is definitely not as simple as an ordinary tomb robber.
After thinking carefully about the previous details, I asked Chang Xiangjiu: "Brother Jiu, have these two groups found out that you and Sister Botao?" โ
"Don't worry, although Sister Botao and I are Yang Xian'er, we are also practicing under the throne of the King of the Earth, and the yin energy on our bodies is much heavier than the yang energy, especially the out-of-body energy. This ancient tomb is extremely yin, and you Sister Botao and I don't want them to find out, but they really can't find it. Chang Xiangjiu raised his neck and assured me.
After getting his assurance, I was overjoyed and told him my next plan: "In this case, let Sister Botao continue to follow Qin Wuye's people, and don't let them find out." You go out and contact Liu Lang and ask him to enter the ancient tomb to meet me, and I will directly light incense for fear of startling the snake. Remember to let Liu Lang bring more people and horses, and then let our soldiers and horses hide around the ancient tomb, but you must be unaware. I've found some clues that there will be a big fight after I get out. โ
Chang Xiangjiu agreed without thinking about it, and then disappeared in place as soon as he turned around. Chang Xiangjiu is good at this point, and he is happy to do things, and he never asks more nonsense. With his intelligence, he can definitely guess why I did this, I don't know about others, Zhang Ye and Qin Wuye are prepared, there must be something they want in the ancient tomb. No matter who succeeds in this thing, it is a hot potato, and it is definitely impossible to be taken away without stopping.
As soon as Chang Xiangjiu left, Huzi sighed and sighed on the side: "People are more popular than people, and they all eat metaphysics." We all work alone, and a guy who can't eat well is lost. It's good for you, if there are disasters and difficulties, you can wave the flag and code people, and you will point fingers like a big young master. I knew that I had also entered the Northeast Ma family, and I still used my face to the loess and my back to the sky to eat. โ
Huzi's tone was like a resentful woman, not only me, but even Zhou Tong's was amused by him. I smiled bitterly and persuaded him: "I can't stand your skills, I'm nothing without the fairy family, even if you can't catch ghosts, can't you still be a carpenter, you can do anything, you can do anything, the heir of the intangible cultural heritage of traditional crafts." Huzi blushed and gave me a thick white look, and then continued to feel sorry for himself.
Seeing that I was ready to go back, Zhou Tong was relieved and turned into a puff of black smoke again and returned to the wax pill in my pocket. I opened my phone and found a map of the tomb from the photo album, and the location we are in is directly below an ear chamber, and the map records that there is a mercury pool in the ear chamber, which is completely part of the feng shui bureau of the real tomb.
I discussed with Huzi and continued walking, after all, this place is still far from the main tomb. In my opinion, it is unlikely that a trap will appear next, because the path we are walking is a secret passage, and no matter what built this secret passage, it is unlikely that a trap will be placed in it. If the owner of the tomb wanted to seize the hole, the plan for the people who came in to die here would have failed. If it's a craftsman who repairs it to escape, it's not necessary, but it's better to be careful.
Huzi and I stepped into the secret passage from the birth gate, walked five meters and turned, and the scene in front of me made me both dumbfounded. The secret passages in front are all made of thin jade, the whole is arched, and the two sides are crystal clear jade plates, which isolate the rock wall, and the roof of the cave is dark gray, and it is impossible to see what material it is. Huzi's eyes began to bloom at this time, and he said that there was no need for anything else, just smash this secret passage, and these jade would be enough to eat for a lifetime if they were sold.
Come to think of it, neither of us dared to smash it, not even the idea of cutting off a piece, because we were afraid that the secret passage would collapse and bury us. The feeling of not being able to spend on the gold mountain was very painful, and the two of us gritted our teeth and walked forward without saying a word, and our hearts gradually became relieved. Because the passage is translucent, there is simply no place to hold traps.
We habitually took out our phones at every turn and compared the direction against the map. After walking for twenty minutes, Huzi pointed to a stone chamber on the map and said to me: "We should be here now, you see that there is a tripod painted on this stone room, and Ding Li is full of Deng, like a cornucopia?" โ
Huzi said that it was really similar, and I observed it carefully. According to what I have learned before, the large tripods that appear in the ancient tombs alone are all used for sacrifices, and generally the tripods are filled with sacrifices, that is, the things used by the tomb owner during his lifetime, and all kinds of gold and silver treasures are possible. Huzi couldn't bear it anymore when he heard me say this, he took out his flashlight and shone it up, while muttering that it would be nice if he could go up and get two.
Huzi didn't move as he did, he was stunned on the spot, his face was red and trembling, I was startled, I thought he had been tricked like me. I nervously shook him for a long time, and this guy reacted, he pointed to the top of the secret passage, and stumbled to me: "Brother... Brother Brother Brother ยทยทยทยทยท Brother, look up! โ
I followed his gaze and looked up, and I was stunned for a moment, the light of the flashlight was not blocked by the ceiling, and the dark gray roof that the beam directly penetrated into the upper floor. Above is a trapezoidal burial chamber, with an area of about ten meters at the bottom. Each of the four corners of the burial chamber has a beast-shaped stone sculpture, and each stone sculpture holds a stone ball in its mouth. In the middle of the tomb is a bronze tripod, which seems to be not much smaller than Simu Wuding, but from our point of view, we can only see the three feet of the tripod and the bottom of the tripod full of patina.
A term popped into my head: one-way mirror. This secret passage is the same as the tomb passage above, and I remember why the bricks of the tomb I walked through before were so smooth, and I thought it was some kind of moss. Now it seems that the dull gray material should be raw mercury and some kind of matte material, and when viewed from above, it should be tomb bricks, but when viewed from below, it is transparent.
What is the reason for such a complex and huge project? What secrets are hidden in this tomb?
