Chapter 448: Three Tomb Paths

Under the light of the torch, a golden-haired beast appeared in the tomb, this beast looks like a lion, but it is several times larger than the lion, and the height of the master is about the same, the most unacceptable thing is that the eye sockets of the beast are two black holes, in its forehead, but there is a faint glowing vertical eye, the eye beads can be the size of a pigeon's egg, the bright light that everyone saw before, is emitted by this vertical eye.

"There really are beasts!" The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" exclaimed, and the others showed their weapons one after another, at this time, Xiao Laodao raised his hand, "Don't panic yet, I don't think this is a living thing." ”

Xiao Lao said a word, and everyone quickly calmed down, and then looked at the beast, which actually stood there motionless. The master was bold, holding a torch and walking towards the beast, and when he got closer, the beast was still motionless, and the master turned around and greeted Xiao Laodao and a few people: "It's really not a living thing." ”

As soon as the master's voice fell, before everyone could react, the eye beads on the beast's forehead fell, and the bones rolled to the feet of the master, and the master looked down and bent down to pick up the beast's eye beads from the ground.

At this time, Xiao Laodao came to the master, Xiao Laodao glanced at the eye beads in the master's hand, and immediately laughed, "This beast is indeed not a living thing, this is not an eyeball, this is a night pearl!" ”

When the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" heard this, he hurriedly said to the master: "Brother Liu, can you show me the beads?" ”

The master handed the eye beads to the "Thousand-Handed Monkey", and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" got his hand, only glanced at the eye beads, and said happily: "Sure enough, it is a night pearl, and it is still the best!" Then he returned it to the grandfather and said, "Brother Liu, it seems that this tomb has a great relationship with you, you can put away this bead." ”

When the master heard this, he glanced at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao nodded, "Put it away, we have all seen it, this bead fell and rolled towards you, if you don't put it away, I'm afraid others won't be able to collect it." ”

The master nodded, "Then I'll keep it for the time being." With that, the master put the beads into his arms.

Subsequently, everyone carefully looked at this beast, it was indeed not a real beast, it was a stone beast, the stone beast was pasted with a layer of animal skin, it may be a cow's skin, but the hair was longer than the cow's hair, and after so many years, the color has not faded, and under the light of the torch, it is lifelike.

The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" examined the stone beast, but found no mechanism, and finally concluded that it was just a simple ornament, which should be used to scare tomb robbers.

Bypassing the stone beast, everyone continued to walk forward, and after walking about twenty steps, the tomb road was gone, replaced by a huge cave, and the space suddenly opened up, but the surrounding cave walls were extremely irregular, like a natural cave.

In the center of the cave, there is a circular stone platform, two feet high, on the stone platform, not a coffin, but a three-legged round tripod furnace, the top of the furnace is also covered with a furnace lid.

Xiao Laodao and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" walked onto the stage, the position of the Ding Furnace turned a few times, the two tomb robbers suddenly looked at each other, Xiao Laodao said to the "Thousand-Handed Monkey": "Brother, why do I look at this thing, I don't want it to be used for sacrificial incense?" ”

"Thousand-armed Monkey" nodded and said: "It's the first time I've seen this thing in the tomb, brother, you are also a person from the Daomen, don't you think, this is a bit like ......?"

Before the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" could say it, Xiao Laodao smiled bitterly and said, "The Dan furnace of Taoist alchemy." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! What I want to say is the Dan Furnace. ”

After that, the two of them held the torch and looked around at the same time, the surrounding space was huge, the light of the torch was very limited, and they couldn't see what the meridian was, Xiao Laodao said, "If this is really a Dan furnace for alchemy, then this may not be a tomb." ”

"Thousand-handed Monkey" nodded, however, he quickly said: "There are no tombs in this tomb, and it is not easy to say in the two tombs next to it. ”

Xiao Laodao heard this and said: "If this is really a Taoist tomb, then we can't find anything here, but it may also be a royal cemetery, and we invited Taoist priests to refine the pill." With that, the two men stepped off the stage and beckoned everyone to continue walking.

There is no other exit from the cave, and there is no way to the end, however, there is a neat wall, there are murals on the wall, and everyone has seen the murals from beginning to end, and the content of the murals is roughly about a Taoist priest cultivating Yunyou, and later alchemy in Pishan, and finally the pill refining is completed and left.

The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" looked at it and said to Xiao Laodao: "It is said that Lao Tzu, the patriarch of the Taoist family, practiced Dan in Bishan, is it true? ”

Xiao Laodao shook his head, "Judging from the pigments of the mural and the costumes of the people in the painting, it should be a matter of the past two or three hundred years, and it will not be Lao Tzu." Xiao Laodao then asked the master, "Brother, do you feel like you see that Dan furnace still has this mural?" ”

The grandfather who asked Xiao Laodao was at a loss, and the grandfather replied: "No one feels anything." ”

Xiao Laodao said: "This is strange, this tomb is obviously related to you, how can you not feel it?" ”

The master didn't know how to explain, the master really didn't feel anything when he looked at the things in the hole, and as for the stone door that had not been smashed and he had toppled over, at this time the master still couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Aren't there still two graveyards outside, let's take a look at those two places." In addition to a mural in the cave, there is only one copper Ding Dan furnace, and everyone has no gains, Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone to leave.

Soon, coming out of the tomb on the left, Xiao Laodao instructed the master again, "Brother, there are two left, you choose another one." ”

The master looked at the remaining two tombs, didn't even think about it, came one by one, and went directly into the middle tomb.

This tomb road, not as long as the one on the left, after a while, everyone came to the end, it is still a cave, however, the space of this cave is very small, the traces of artificial excavation are also very obvious, there are many small niches carved out of the cave wall, there are some old bottles and jars in the niche hole, and there is a stone bed next to it, which is very similar to the place to live and practice.

Xiao Laodao was a little disappointed at this time, and said to the "Thousand-Handed Monkey": "Old brother, I'm afraid this is not a tomb, it is really a place where Taoist priests live in alchemy." As he spoke, he walked to a small niche and took out a small porcelain bottle from it, and the porcelain bottle was corked with a wooden stopper, Xiao Laodao did not open it, and looked at it a few times, "These are obviously for medicinal purposes, and that Taoist priest should have lived here for a long time." ”

The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" was also at the bottom of his heart at this time, and said: "Xia'er shouldn't be mistaken, otherwise, let's go to the last tomb to take a look, maybe it's a tomb." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled bitterly: "Even if it is a tomb, I am afraid that it is the remains of a poor Taoist priest." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao looked at the master, "Brother, what do you say?" ”

The master looked dazed, and followed the words of the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" and said, "Then let's go to the last grave and take a look." ”

Everyone walked out of the middle of the tomb again, into the last tomb road, this tomb road is very deep, and the more you go narrower and narrower, I don't know when it started, the brick wall in the tomb road is gone, the surrounding area has become an earthen wall, and there is no trace of artificial excavation, the more you go in, the shorter you go, in the end, only five feet high, three feet wide, like the grandfather, you have to risk your waist to go inside.

Xiao Laodao turned back to the "thousand-armed monkey" behind him at this time and said, "Brother, how do I think, your daughter is wrong this time?" ”

The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" was also very helpless at this time, and said: "Don't worry, brother, wait until you get to the end, and then let's see." ”

I don't know how long I walked forward, the master who was walking in front stopped, Xiao Laodao got to the side of the master and looked forward, there was no way...... There is a dead end, and I saw that there were many traces of excavation on the cave wall in front of me, and Xiao Laodao said: "This hole should not be done yet." Then he beckoned to the people, "Go back, all of them." ”

The crowd then changed from the back to the front, and soon came out of the last cemetery, and at this time, everyone stopped at the entrance of the tomb and looked at each other.

"Thousand-Handed Monkey" looked embarrassed to hear it, and muttered in his mouth, "Could it be that Xia'er is really wrong this time?" ”

Xiao Laodao thought for a while and said, "Brother, with your experience for so many years, do you think there will be another secret door in these three tombs?" ”

"Thousand-Handed Monkey" shook his head, "I'm paying attention, there is no secret door, it seems to be ......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Shiyi gestured to Xiao Laodao, and everyone left and all looked at him, and saw Xiao Shiyi gesturing and saying: There is something in that Dan furnace.

Xiao Shiyi's words gave everyone a wake-up call, and Xiao Laodao smiled, "That's right, why didn't we think about it, take a look at the cover." ”

The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, yes, yes, there is a stove of treasures in it!" ”

Everyone couldn't wait to return to the first cemetery, and soon, everyone returned to the cave of the first cemetery, walked up to the stone platform, Xiao Laodao and the "thousand-handed monkey" looked up and down around the Dan furnace again, Xiao Laodao sighed, "This Dan furnace looks like it hasn't been opened for hundreds of years, it's not a treasure inside, it's a pool of poisonous water." ”

Xiao Shiyi hurriedly gestured: It's not poisonous water, it should be a good thing, when I came over just now, I saw a golden light coming out of it.

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he hurriedly looked at Xiao Shiyi, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Xiao Shiyi gestured aggrievedly and said: I originally wanted to tell you after finding the coffin.

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "Okay, you can come out of anything, pry the lid open and take a look." ”

The lid of the copper tripod furnace is not as heavy as the coffin lid, including Xiao Laodao and the "thousand-handed monkey", everyone took the guy together, and at the same time exerted force, and then saw that the lid did not move at all.

After prying it a few times, they were tired and panting, but the lid didn't even pry open, and finally, Xiao Laodao looked at the master......
