The Tibetan monk trapped in the crystal opened his eyes.

I was shocked when I heard that. Hurriedly looked back. Sure enough, I saw that the Tibetan monk in the crystal opened his eyes at some point. is looking at us.

Originally, the crystals were illuminated by a glowing white liquid. It makes the Tibetan monks inside appear very vague. But don't know why. I could really feel that he was watching us right now. And without the slightest emotion.

That affection is not hatred. Nor is it liked; It's not cold. But without the slightest temperature. It gives a deep and desireless feeling. It doesn't feel like he's so far away. But they can't get close.

Suddenly, I was stunned. I don't know why I had such an idea for some reason. I don't know why I don't pay attention to the danger in such a situation. Instead, he focused on what was hidden in those eyes.

I soon found out. It's not just me. The others, including Leng Yue, were also turning around and staring at the Tibetan monk inside the crystal at this time. It's as if they've reached the realm of selflessness. One by one, they stood there motionless. It's like losing your soul.

I was shocked. Hurriedly woke them up one by one.

Leng Yue shook her head vigorously. It seems a little confusing. Then turn around. No more looking backwards.

Shen Dali scolded and muttered a few words. Pulling Qi Duo and Zhang Yi to turn back.

If the Tibetan monk's eyes have the effect of confusing. Then it's good if we don't go to see it.

But at this moment. The strange sounds and voices reappeared in my head. This time, he only said two words to me: "Why bother." ”

The sea of bitterness is boundless. Never too late to mend. No one knows this. But who can really do it.

Let's go back to the revolving stone slope. Dash downward. It's almost like running away.

When passing by the humane stone platform. Miduo ran to pack her parents' belongings and bring them with them. But in the end, it was impossible to find the remains of his parents from the pile of bones. After a painful choice. It can only be given up temporarily.

We got off the pillar unharmed. For the time being, all three golden scepters will be handed over to Miduo for safekeeping.

Keep moving forward. We walked through the back half of the empty platform. Arrive at the edge of the platform. But the stone bridge was not found.

Not far away. We found a stone staircase that led to the bottom. The angle is somewhat steep. There are no guardrails on either side. It's scary just to look at. Not to mention walking on it.

On both sides in front of the stone steps. There are two things similar to the mountain temple we saw in the Ghost Domain Stone Forest. Carefully identified. I recognized it as "que".

In the building of the Yang House. Most of them only exist outside the doors of high-level buildings such as imperial palaces. Can be used as a watchtower only; And in the architectural style of the Yin House. Que is the stone archway outside the tomb.

que is used for burial construction. It has appeared as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Speaking of which. I have to mention the history of the origin of the tomb.

We often hear the word "grave". I always thought it was just a yin house. This is not the case.

A tomb and a tomb are actually two different things. A tomb is a burial hole for the dead. A grave refers to the sealed soil on the tomb. So in our circle. It is said that tomb robberies are generally replaced by "touching holes". It is also said that "inverted bucket".

The sage Confucius opposed extravagance and waste. When the deceased mother is buried. Only a four-foot mound of earth remained. That is, the "grave" at that time. Used to indicate the location. In order to ensure that the grave where the deceased mother is buried can be found in the future. If it weren't for "filial piety first". The sage Confucius probably couldn't even set up a four-foot seal.

But. The people behind recognized this. Build the mound higher and higher. The more the pile is about larger. Some emperors even used this as an excuse to build a hill on the flat ground.

But. Even so. There are still people who feel that it is not enough.

Mountains piled up. There is always no real mountain high. There is no real mountain risk. No real mountain is more eye-catching.

Thereupon. Before and after the Qin and Han dynasties. Huge tombs carved into mountains began to appear. It is often the emperor who is not very old and has just succeeded to the throne. He began to build himself a resting place after death.

This kind of tomb was built by digging into the mountain. It is called "mausoleum". The famous Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was built on Lishan.

But. That's not enough.

When people found out that there was no so-called immortality and elixir. began to believe that after death, he could live in another world under the Yellow Springs. But he is unwilling to give up everything in his life. So the design of the mausoleum began to be based on the place where the deceased lived during his lifetime.

In addition to the "temple" of the Frontrooms. The "hall" of the Backrooms. There is also a living room. Left and right wings. Servant. Poultry. Carriages and horses. and countless curiosities.

The que, which was once located outside the gate, was naturally moved into the design of the mausoleum. And in the Han Dynasty, which thinks very highly of itself. The development has reached its peak.

But after the Han Dynasty. The Tang and Song dynasties only allowed emperors or people who received privileges to build a tomb in front of them. The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties directly abandoned Que. The que in the mausoleum thus went to nothing.

But. The place we are in is obviously different from the dynasties of the Central Plains. And there is almost no cultural similarity. Why is there a left and right side here? Moreover. The one in front of us is not a door. It's just a ladder. The location of this que is also not quite right.

Shen Dali looked at me and stared at Que Yuan. Asked with some concern, "Fifth brother." What are you staring at this broken mountain temple? ”

I shook my head and said, "This is que." We saw it when we went to the Han Tomb. ”

Shen Dali recalled a moment later. Shaking his head, he said, "I can't remember." I remember the Grave Beast. Fifth brother. What's the use of this thing? ”

The mausoleum is usually engraved with text. Record information such as the identity of the person who is buried. There are also words on these two ques. But it's not just us. Even I don't know him.

Think back to the three stone platforms we walked along the way. The ones that are represented are "death". "Psychic". "Reincarnation". And then move on. What else will come across. I really can't think of it.

Maybe. These two are just a kind of representation. Represents behind this stone staircase. There is an invisible gate. After walking through the door. We can see a new and unexpected world.

Leave aside for a moment what these two might mean. One by one, we helped each other up the stone steps. Step by step.

The stone steps are carved with reliefs. It's full of weird pictures. I couldn't understand what it was trying to convey. There is a flame. There are demons. There are human beings. There are flowers and plants......

Descend slowly down the stone steps. Walked for a long time. Went down a long distance. We finally reached the end of the stone steps.

At this time, there is a slightly wider corridor in front of us. The location is low. Almost sticking to the water. It gives the illusion of being built on the water.

There are also no guardrails on either side of the promenade. Beyond the edge is a cold underground lake.

In the water of the lake. We were amazed to see countless gray-black, hairless heads exposed to sleep. He was staring at us coldly.

Shen Dali and Zhang Yi exclaimed in unison: "Oh my God. It's a water ghost. ”

There are a huge number of water ghosts. Almost one squeezed one. I hold my head up. Cast them like a needle gaze where we are.
