Thirty-two, the Xuangong Hades Temple
"But I saw it." I stopped talking, I didn't know what to say for a while, was it just me who watched so many people? Is it impossible or is it an illusion? But what's the matter with that snake's tail?
Between thoughts, the fat man and the old man also came over, and their target was not Wang Lei but the door behind him, the old man was holding a high-illuminated searchlight, so the things in the hall could be seen clearly, and when I avoided the light and turned around, I suddenly felt that the miracle was slowly unfolding in front of me like a picture scroll.
It was a Xuangong, a semi-arc-shaped temple, most of the hall was hollow, and a small amount of wind swept in with a woman-like snort. The reason why it is called the Xuangong is that it is built by the mountain, and this underworld temple is built by the mountain, so the hollow part has little to do with his firmness, but we look at the dark abyss not far away, and we are a little worried in our hearts, not anything else, but more and more clearly see this tomb.
In fact, the middle of the temple is not as macro as I imagined, the wall of the three-sided whiteboard is not too big, and each brick on the wall brick has a moment of Yin text, the old man said that this is similar to the Sanskrit of Buddhism, I asked him what it means, the old man said with a solemn face: "It should be the mantra of the auditorium to suppress the demons and seal the ghosts, and some paper talismans are written with such words, and this floor tile can be engraved with this font, indicating." ”
"It shows that we really seem to have come to the end, and this is also a temple." The fat man straightened his tone, "This shows that this is not only a hall of hell that holds the coffin of the tomb owner, but also a Shura Hall that gathers the dead, don't think I'm scaring you, we currently know that in the place of the temple, the grave worker will not set up any mechanism, because if the coffin or even the body is injured, it is not a good thing, this is something that the ancients who believed in superstition in the afterlife since ancient times will undoubtedly not allow it to happen." ”
"But some things are unusual, and there are many invisible mechanisms in the temple that kill people, which is also a battle between the tomb owner and the invaders." The fat man touched these Yin Wen with his hand and continued.
"That's right," the old man took over the topic and shone his searchlight on the coffin, "I have been to an ancient tomb of the ancient kingdom of Yelang, and that place has had a close relationship with the ancient Dian Kingdom of Yunnan and the small countries of the barbarians, so the so-called ancient tomb of Yelang should also be proficient in using various Gu poison making techniques, and the child corpse, blood corpse, and red blood demon coffin are not to be underestimated there, even if it is a temple of the underworld." ”
"So we have to be careful." I sighed, "By the way, old man, when have you ever been to the ancient tomb?" ”
"What happened in the early years, if you want to hear it later, I can tell you slowly, but now our most important problem is the coffin." With that, he focused the light for a moment, allowing us to see towards the middle of the temple.
A coffin, yes, a coffin, it lies calmly in the middle of the temple, but half of it is suspended in the air, we can see the current situation of the temple, first of all, we are in front of us is more than half of the hole, under the hole is the abyss-like nothingness, and we have to walk through this abyss must walk through the only side passage on both sides of the temple, and after walking through it, we can step on the ground and then reach the coffin in the middle of the temple.
But this is not only the point that shocked me, but also made me feel incredible, but the coffin we saw at this time was actually placed on the head of a statue.
"It's a statue." At the same time, all of us shouted, no one expected, in this abyss is actually a statue, we hurriedly pushed the searchlight over, lifted back and forth, bottomless, can only see the nose and ears of the huge statue, this is a stone statue, the overall area of the statue is more than 10 square meters, although its height is high enough, but because the area of the temple where we are too small, so we can not see the face of this statue completely, It's just that we can be sure that the statue wears a square hat on its head, or that it has a very trendy square hair that stands up, otherwise it would not have been possible for the coffin to be placed on it.
"Uncle, how could anyone do this house?" Wang Lei was surprised.
"Yes! I've never seen a tomb like this even in a tomb? Xu Ming took a step or two forward to confirm whether he could see everything under the abyss, but unfortunately there was only endless darkness.
"Looks like there's still space underneath this tomb." The old man said that this statue would not be placed here for no reason, and it was said before that this place may be part of the seabed, so no one knows how big the space below is, but we need to find out the true face of this statue now.
"Endless space down there?" When I heard the old man's words, I was immediately stunned. I remember when I was in the temple, there was a deep, deep abyss underneath the temple, and it seems that there were people down there. And when I was in Miao Village, there was also a large space under the tomb, but there was a deep pool, which was the entrance to the world below.
I wondered, is this just a coincidence? Why would his builder lay out such a large spatial abyss just for a tomb? You must know that building a tomb is not a simple matter, and if it is serious, it is a matter of labor and money, but why do you go to great lengths to dig such a large space, this is completely useless in my eyes! If you talk about the placement of the statue, why don't you carve it into the mountain? And does it make sense for you to put a statue here? Still is? Could it be said. Are these tombs all from the same designer?
Impossible, impossible. I shook my head desperately. The ages and regions of these tombs are not too different, and who can span one of these ages?
I fixed my mind and saw that the fat man had walked around from both sides, and he was waving to me when I saw him.
"What's wrong?" I walked over and asked.
"Look here, there's a mural."
"Murals?" I was ashamed, "Didn't we see it before?" It's just a blank slate. And when I turned around, I realized that I was speechless, yes, it was indeed a magnificent mural, a simple landscape map, which was like a story and a picture scroll spread out in front of me, with a strong ancient atmosphere.
The ancient paintings are not exquisite, but seem to be the hasty brushstrokes of people who are irritable in time and space, but these few brushstrokes fully outline the outline of a landscape fairyland. The painting is depicted from the angle of the volley, and in the near background is a few smears of mountain rocks and trees, and the ink is slightly heavier, and the rubbing is tight. Don't look at it much, let go of your eyes, only to see that outside the mountain wall of the ancient painting is a river flow, above the vast is the diffuse clouds generated by the water rush, the clouds and mountains are the focus of the whole painting after the fog, the mountain stone in the picture is steep, strange shape, compared to the previous mountain peak, compared to this mountain range, there is more momentum of the mountains at a glance, the side of the mountain body Lingshui draws the cliff of a thousand zhang cliff with a light brush, the white clouds on the cliff float in the mountains, the pine forest in the valley is dense, the clear stream flows, the hidden building view, the realm is quiet, such as a fairyland, The brushwork in this place is exquisite, depicting Seiko, dyed and submerged, the coloring is light, and the picture realm has a sense of mystery and misery.
"It was smeared with a white pigment, and we couldn't see the flashlight reflection from a distance." The fat man said.
"But where is this place?" Wang Lei said curiously.
"Maybe it's a fairyland? I think it's also a place where people come out of the illusion, just like a peach blossom paradise, where the deceased hopes to reach such a place after death. The old man said.
"I don't think so." The fat man was silent for a while, and said, "Obviously, this is a realistic painting technique or it is copied directly from a picture scroll, if it is the fairyland you are talking about, it should be the immortals, surrounded by clouds and mist, right?" ”
"Maybe it's because the times are different?" The old man said, "Anyway, this mural represents a place where the dead want to go. ”
Then he walked to the coffin. And the fat man was still muttering to himself alone, I looked funny, put my elbow on him and laughed, "What do you think?" Become an immortal? ”
"Nope." "If this place is really the place where the dead want to go, and it really exists, then what kind of place is it?" Moreover, I don't think that this kind of painting technique could be used as a mural painting by people at that time. ”
"Then who do you say drew it? We have found so little ancient stuff that maybe it's an archaeological discovery? It can also overturn all previous origins. ”
"Nope. Maybe it's really an immortal. The fat man looked at the mural and seemed to be distracted.
I was afraid that he would go crazy as if I was looking at the coffin, so I poked him with my hand and asked him if he would leave, and he said you go to the coffin first, I still have something to do here. It's good if I think about it, this kind of person is a tendon, and if you don't want to understand something, you will feel uncomfortable, hey, this is obsessive-compulsive disorder!
"Masked man, come and see." Suddenly, Xu Ming shouted at me.
"What's wrong?" I ignored the fat man and walked over slowly, looking at the wall tiles around me.
"There's a painting on the coffin." The old man also spoke, his voice a little dull.
"There's a painting too?" I walked over a little puzzled, and found that this coffin was a Nanmu coffin, and as I got closer and closer to it, I would find that this coffin was actually exuding cold. The coffin is purple-red all over, with lotus-like fire patterns. "The wood of this coffin is so strange, the unique color, and the strange pattern, it seems that the wood itself is natural."
"I don't know what material it is, it seems to be really Nanmu?" Wang Lei shook his head.
"You haven't seen a lot of it, this wood is eighty percent ironwood, and it has changed its color by absorbing too much corpse gas." Xu Mingdao.
"What about the chill?"
"Maybe it's the treasure inside." I smiled and took over Xu Ming's topic, and then turned to see the old man's side, he looked very serious at this time and didn't know what he was looking at, although it was a little cold, he still rubbed the surface of the coffin with his hand, as if he wanted to see the content of the painting more clearly.
Now I'm even more curious, what is it? I crouched down and followed his flashlight to see the painting, and I was stupid that it could be this painting.
