"Learn what?" Zuo Qingcang wondered.

The old man didn't answer directly, but explained first: "The biggest function of this tomb is to imprison the mirage in the deepest part of the tomb. The people of the Western Wei Dynasty believed that everyone had a soul, and they arranged them here, whether it was burial, formation, or various traps.

The ultimate goal is nothing more than to imprison the soul of the mirage in his ** forever, and his ** in the coffin forever. Then prevent a qiē extrinsic possibility from affecting this ultimate purpose. ”

"But what do you think will happen if the coffin is broken through in the end?" The old man turned his head, his eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness, and looked at Zuo Qingcang.

"If I were the designer of this cemetery, I would have designed a mechanism that would blow up the entire cemetery as soon as the coffin was opened." Zuo Qingcang's eyes froze: "You want to open the coffin and let this cemetery self-destruct?" ”

Speaking of this, he nodded again: "This is indeed a way, but we must know what his means of self-destruction are in order to escape again." And doesn't this mural say that the mirage is immortal? When we open the coffin, we won't release a zombie, right? ”

The old man laughed and said, "How is it possible, after two thousand years, he stayed in that coffin without eating or drinking, even if he was a king, he turned to ashes."

Although the Dao technique of the Mirage Sect is powerful, he is not a god yet, and the so-called immortality is probably just something that the ancients could not understand at that time. The so-called Taoism is just the natural principle of heaven and earth, not a miracle. ”

The old man's words made Zuo Qingcang feel a little surprised, before he thought that the other party was a feudal and superstitious old man, but now it seems that the other party's attitude towards Taoism is more similar to that of science.

He continued: "That's also dangerous. Two thousand years ago, in the Western Wei Dynasty, according to you, many of them have long been lost, and we may not be able to understand the operation process at all. ”

"That's better than being alone here." The old man said: "Originally, it was too dangerous for me to go down to that place alone, but it is different with you, the two of us should be able to find a way to open the coffin."

What's more, I've been here for so many years, and I've also achieved some results. Under this island, there should be an undersea volcano, those Taoists who built the tomb, and the Dao techniques arranged in the tomb should all be the power of the volcano, and they are afraid that they have also placed a ban on the inside of the volcano, once the coffin is opened, it may be underground lava poured up, turning the entire island into a sea of fire.

All we have to do is open the coffin and escape from here before we get caught in the fire. ”

The old man took Zuo Qingcang to the mural of the coffin, and while gesturing with his hand, he said, "There are two difficulties in doing this. One is how to get in and the other is how to get out.

There is no tool on this island, and the only thing we can rely on is ourselves. So if you want to go in, your current skills are too weak, and you still need to learn a little martial arts. And when we come out, we will definitely meet the yin girl and giant elephant outside, and we also need you to learn some Taoism or martial arts. ”

Zuo Qingcang nodded, walked to the mural, looked at the coffin that was sunk deep underground, and suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that maybe we can escape first and then open the coffin?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"We first dig a hole that leads straight out, and then we use a rope made of plants to attach it to the coffin. When you get out of the island, pull the rope and open the coffin. Zuo Qingcang looked at the surrounding walls and said, "I don't know much about the structure and mechanism of this cemetery, and I don't know what the principle of the so-called Dao technique is.

But the soil here is very good for digging as I have seen. He knocked on the bricks on the ground, looked at the ceiling and said, "If we can find a tool, maybe we can make a hole in this cemetery."

When I walked all the way down the road, I carefully calculated the angle and distance of the slope of the road, and it was no more than 10 meters above the ground, and if we had the tools, we could dig this hole in about seven days at most.

As for food and water, you've been here for so long, you must have found a solution. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes: "You seem to be familiar with these things?" ”

"Well, a long, long time ago, I learned a little bit about this with a guy named Zhang Qiling."

As he spoke, after Zuo Qingcang knocked on the bricks on the ground, he suddenly fell down and began to listen on the ground.

"You're right, but except for the Broken Dragon Stone at the exit, the walls and floors here have been reinforced by Taoism, and the two of us can't dig it out for decades." The old man said suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”

"Something is ringing." After Zuo Qingcang said this, he signaled the old man not to speak. The entire burial chamber suddenly became silent. Under the illumination of the green and faint night pearl, the entire underground palace is like a ghost.

In this eerie atmosphere, there was a knock sound from under the floor. The sound sounded like a monk was knocking on a wooden fish, but the appearance in the tomb below made people can't help but be frightened.

The old man's face turned pale, but Zuo Qingcang still looked cold, but crawled over to the place where the voice came from, he knocked on the ground, frowned and said, "The back here is hollow." ”

The old man was surprised: "How is it possible? ”

"Nothing is impossible." While Zuo Qingcang was talking, he had already used the dagger on his waist to insert it into the gap in the bricks, and pried out all the bricks under his feet little by little.

After more than half an hour, a swarthy hole appeared in front of Zuo Qingcang and the old man. The sound of knock came from this dark hole.

A gust of cold wind came from the entrance of the cave, the old man's face turned pale, and his body trembled: "How is it possible, what is this?" Why is there a hole here? Could it be that what's down there is really alive? ”

"I want to ask, in that cemetery, in addition to the Daoists you mentioned and the monsters they made, will there be ordinary craftsmen who are also involved in this project."

As if infected by Zuo Qingcang's calm demeanor, the old man calmed down a little and said, "There should be." Although the entire cemetery mainly relies on Taoism to operate.

However, some basic organs, relying on those delicate metals, silk threads and other things cannot be kept from decaying for hundreds or even thousands of years, or still need boulders, water and other mechanisms to maintain for a long time, as well as those carvings and murals, all of which must be the craftsmanship of those craftsmen. ”

"That's it, since the Daoists built this cemetery to seal the Mirage Sect forever, those craftsmen will naturally be wiped out.

In many ancient dynasties, there was a tradition of the emperor building a mausoleum and having craftsmen accompany him to bury him. If I were one of these craftsmen, I would have secretly dug an escape passage for myself in the burial chamber when I built this cemetery to prevent it from being destroyed. ”

Zuo Qingcang's eyes were fixed on the depths of the cave, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

The old man on the side frowned and said, "You mean, these craftsmen dug it up?" ”

"That's just the first possibility." Zuo Qingcang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "There is another possibility, that is, after this cemetery was built, there were already guests coming in before the two of us came to this cemetery. ”

"You mean tomb robbing?" The old man's face was full of incredulity: "But who can find this place and come to this kind of place to rob the tomb?" And how did he get out? ”

"If someone can build a tomb in such a place, naturally someone will come to this kind of place to rob the tomb." Zuo Qingcang said, and inserted the dagger in his hand back into his waist: "What's more, he may not have left, maybe he died inside." No......" His brow furrowed suddenly: "Assuming that this hole was dug by tomb robbers, he only went in, and if he didn't come out, it would be impossible to cover this hole with bricks." ”

As he spoke, he began to move briskly through the burial chamber, tapping his fingers on and on.

"The walls and floors here are all reinforced by the sealed water, and if you want to break it, you must have other materials to dissolve the sealed water on the surface of these materials." The old man was surprised, "What are you doing?" ”

"Find another thief hole. If you are a craftsman, you just need to dig a hole and escape. Only grave robbers, before digging a hole to go down, need to dig a hole to come in. Zuo Qing said without looking back: "If you find it, it means that this hole was indeed dug by tomb robbers." ”

Halfway through the conversation, he stopped at the edge of the wall ten meters from the cave and kept tapping his fingers on the wall.

"It's empty behind here, too." Zuo Qingcang stroked the bricks on the wall: "There are traces of turning on it." This, or rather, this group of tomb robbers is a little strange, not only are they gone, but they have also restored the dug walls to their original state, which is logically unnecessary.

In the wilderness, and there is no government, why should they restore the walls? ”

Zuo Qingcang still had many questions in his heart, did these tomb robbers go out in the end, and if they broke through the Great Array of Shifting Stars, how did they break through? What did they come all the way to find here?

Just as Zuo Qingcang was thinking, he had already used the dagger again to pry out the bricks on the wall. But the cave in front of me also leads to the underground.

The old man on the side exclaimed, "What's the matter?" Why did these tomb robbers dig two downward passages? Could it be that one of them dug wrong? ”

"That's not right." A hint of clarity flashed in Zuo Qingcang's eyes: "It's because of the monsters on the ground." To avoid the monsters, they dug a shaft away from them, then a horizontal shaft underground, and finally a burial chamber. Then he used this dungeon as an outpost, and while resting here, he dug a passage downward. ”

The old man's face was shocked, and he said excitedly: "You mean, through the first cave of Guò, we can go outside?" ”

"I'm not 100% sure." Zuo Qingcang suddenly put the bricks at the entrance of the two holes back: "There are still too many things that have not been figured out, since those people put the bricks back, then I will put them back now."

During this time, you can tell me about Taoism. What exactly is the Dao Technique, and how does the Dao Technique of this cemetery work? ”

The old man nodded when he heard this, but he didn't react, I don't know when it started, the initiative of the whole scene seemed to have been completely occupied by Zuo Qingcang, he seemed to be born with a commanding temperament, which made people can't help but trust and obey orders.
