Qin Wufu pressed the backpack on his shoulders on top of his head, and pressed his hands in his sleeves, the black sand dust was like a sudden sandstorm, washing the water in the canals on both sides of the road into jet black, and the three of them snuggled up to each other, and no one dared to move.

After a long time, the sound of wind and sand in his ears gradually became quieter, Qin Wufu peeked out of the gap in his clothes and looked outside, and found that the black storm had stopped, so he threw away his backpack and turned over and stood up.

"Alright, it's okay, let's all get up."

The three of them all looked at each other with dirty faces, and couldn't help laughing, everyone is now an African native with a black face and only a mouthful of big white teeth shaking, which looks a little funny.

Wang Hao looked at the two stone beasts closest to the bronze gate, the stone carvings that were originally full of dust were pasted with a thick layer of black oil at this time, and the Heavenly Destiny Bird that spread its wings and soared became a black bird, and the stone carvings where the wings connected to the tendons even corroded, and small cracks appeared.

"What was it just now?"

He picked up the wolf's eye flashlight and shone it near the platform, the original dark green stone wall was dyed an ink color by the black storm just now, and the beam of the flashlight shone as if it was engulfed, and the stone wall seemed to be bordering the darkness, visually making people feel that they were in an endless dark space, as if they could not see the end at a glance.

Qin Wufu went over and knocked on the crack on the stone beast with a shovel, and with a bang, half of the wings of the Heavenly Destiny Bird fell down and smashed to the ground, and the black oily slime near the broken stone piece actually emitted a colorful and strange light under the flashlight.

"It's not a trap, it should be something like a mural in the bronze door, the paint on the mural has been exposed for many years, evaporated into the air, and accumulated in the closed tomb with the air for thousands of years, so the moment the bronze door was opened, it quickly oxidized with the fresh air outside, so there was the black storm just now."

After speaking, he took his bag and went inside the bronze door: "Let's go, it's nothing." ”

A-Ning watched silently, touched his chin and smiled silently, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he walked behind Wang Hao and followed.

Plop –

Qin Wufu and A Ning looked towards the bronze gate at the same time, and the two pairs of eyes instantly met together, and then, at the same time, they moved down and landed on Wang Hao.

Wang Haolong walked with a tiger step, walked wide open and closed, so when he entered the bronze door, he fell into the mud and demonstrated an exemplary flat sand and goose style for the two.

Qin Wufu walked over and helped Wang Hao up, patted the dust on his body and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry, you tripped over the threshold." ”

The wolf's eye flashlight shines over, the bronze door is divided into two parts, the front door is opened, and it is necessary to cross a threshold after a corridor about one zhang long before it is officially entered, and the length of the corridor is also the length of the bronze door divided into two doors along the track to open inward, and the corridor is dark and the road is not clear to see, so Wang Hao will be tripped up.

"Old Qin, why were you okay when you passed just now?" Wang Hao rubbed his ass and got up from the ground.

"Maybe I happened to cross over when I left just now, so I can only blame you for your bad luck." Qin said uselessly.

At this time, A-Ning suddenly squatted down to look at the threshold under his feet, and wondered, "Have you ever heard of a threshold in your own cemetery?" ”

Qin Wufu heard A Ning ask, thought about it, shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be true, I only realized when you reminded me like this, this is the first time I have seen a tomb owner put the threshold to stumble people." ”

Wang Hao said on the side: "Isn't it strange to add a threshold behind the tomb door? Didn't people in ancient times like to put a threshold on the door of their home? ”

Qin Wufu shook his head vigorously, and did not agree with Wang Hao's statement: "In ancient times, the threshold was very particular, and it was taboo to set the threshold in your own tomb, the threshold was born yin, and it would clash with the feng shui of the tomb, and the layout would be broken, and it would even change the fate of future generations, so I think that if this threshold was deliberately made by the owner of the tomb, there must be some place to use it." ”

He squatted down and shone the threshold with a wolf's eye flashlight, on which many charms were strangely drawn, and there were a few pieces of jute paper pasted underneath, like the kind used by Taoist priests to catch ghosts. The threshold is old and simple, and there is a kind of vicissitudes of time permeating it.

Qin Wufu pointed to the threshold and said: "The threshold has a long history, the legend was first invented by the Yellow Emperor's side chamber mother-in-law, in ancient times, the woman's feet were regarded as the most secret place, the so-called door does not go out of the door without stepping out of the door is said to be like this." The more those rich and noble families pay more attention to these, so the threshold has become a facility that can cover the feet of the beautiful ones, and the more solid the family, the higher the threshold of their home will be set.

The threshold is stepped under the feet every day, and few people take the initiative to step on it, because the threshold is often under the crotch of people, which is unlucky.

In metaphysical terms, the threshold can block evil spirits from entering the house, prevent the loss of yang energy in the home, and prevent yin energy from entering from the outside. Later, people raised the height of the threshold higher, higher than the height that zombies and zongzi could jump over, and used the threshold to trip zombies and zongzi, so metaphysics believed that the threshold could ward off evil spirits.

As for the folk arguments that the threshold requires men to cross the left and women to the right, most of them are not credible, and there is no such thing as a threshold set up in the underground palace. Unless ......"

Seeing that Qin Wufu suddenly stopped talking, his face was a little wrong, and Wang Hao became nervous.

"Unless what?" Wang Hao asked.

"Unless...... This threshold is used to stumble ghosts. Qin Wufu touched the distorted ghost drawing talismans on it, and his fingers made a rather strange sound on the threshold.
