There was a sound of pine waves in the distance, and in the night, the breeze and the moon were quite poetic, but the four of them all felt creepy. Because although the moonlight is bright, you can't feel the existence of a breeze at all, so where does the sound of pine waves come from?

Ah Liu trembled and recited the "Diamond Sutra" on the side, and said strangely, the sound of pine waves disappeared in an instant. When everyone saw it, although they couldn't recite the "Diamond Sutra" like Ah Liu, they also began to recite "Amitabha Buddha" almost in unison.

After a while, the crowd gradually calmed down. Zhao Yiming stopped his pen and began to ask what happened after opening the coffin of the princess's tomb.

The three of them looked at each other a few times, but neither of them wanted to mention the terrible scene. When Zhao Yiming stopped his eyes on Ah Liu, Xu Shengming and Liu Yiming also stared at Ah Liu. Ah Liu couldn't help it, and talked to Zhao Yiming about the scene of opening the two sarcophagi in the princess's cemetery palace.

"Peony blossoms, extreme and decaying?" After Zhao Yiming heard Ah Liu say these eight words, he couldn't help but read them along.

Liu Yiming interjected at this time: "When I was in the Cultural Relics Management Office, I heard that there were seventeen burial tombs around the Qianling Tomb, where the second prince, the third king, the fourth princess, and the eight ministers were buried. And the strange thing is that the owners of these burial tombs, in addition to the ministers, the princes, princes, and princesses were all very young when they died, or the eight characters on this coffin mean that Princess Yiyang died young. ”

Zhao Yiming felt very reasonable after hearing this, nodded, and subconsciously wrote down these eight words in his notebook.

Liu Yiming continued: "The deep ditch in front of us should be the 'Huangchao ditch'. When the Huangchao Rebels broke through Chang'an, they brazenly wanted to steal and excavate the Qianling Tomb, and used his 400,000 peasant army to dig a ditch more than 40 meters deep on the Qianling Tomb, but they did not find the Qianling Underground Palace. In the end, due to the encirclement and suppression of the Tang Dynasty, it had to stop the excavation of Qianling and withdraw from Chang'an. ”

Xu Shengming suddenly said at this time: "When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. ”

Zhao Yiming stared at Xu Shengming with surprised and approving eyes, and Ah Liu next to him hurriedly interjected and smiled: "Mr. Zhao, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, how can he understand this?" A few days ago, it was rumored that Zhang Yimou was going to make a movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", which gathered a large number of stars, and he was a fan of Jay Chou, so he paid attention to the publicity and learned about this poem written by Huang Chao. ”

All four laughed, and the atmosphere was no longer so tense.

Zhao Yiming turned to Liu Yiming and asked, "This poem should be a chrysanthemum, right?" But why is the inscription in the princess's tomb a peony? ”

Liu Yiming thought for a while and seemed to have an understanding: "As far as I know, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, peony has been regarded as the first of a hundred flowers by the world. It is said that one year in Chang'an, the snow fell, Wu Zetian drank and wrote poems, and wrote an edict with a drunken pen: "The Ming Dynasty traveled to Shangyuan, and quickly reported the spring." The flowers are sent overnight, don't wait for the wind to blow. Because Wu Zetian is the empress, the true son of heaven, and can also control the gods of the world, so the flowers have to be ordered to bloom overnight. Only the peony does not violate the season, and it does not open. Wu Zetian was furious, demoted the peony out of Chang'an, distributed it to Luoyang, and burned it at the stake, not wanting to have the best "scorched peony" in the peony. ”

Zhao Yiming suddenly realized: "I see, the Tang Dynasty took peony as the national flower, and it is not strange that there is a peony in the princess's tomb, which may symbolize dignity." ”

There were suddenly a few wolf howls in the distance, and the four of them looked at each other, it stands to reason that there was no trace of a wolf on the Qianling, so how could the wolf howl? But in their ears, they heard it really, on this full moon night, when the wolf howled, the four of them felt an inexplicable sense of fear.

The moon seemed to be brighter, and the four people sitting around could clearly see each other's faces. Xu Shengming looked at Liu Yiming and asked puzzledly: "Old comrade-in-arms, what are you laughing at?" ”

Liu Yiming was even more puzzled: "How can I laugh?" ”

Suddenly, Zhao Yiming, Xu Shengming, and Ah Liu let out a terrifying cry at the same time: "Peony! ”

But seeing that under the bright moonlight, Liu Yiming stopped speaking, sat on the ground, his face seemed to be smiling, a peony appeared on his head, but his eyes looked at the other three people in horror, not understanding why they were staring at him with such eyes.

The other three couldn't speak anymore, but they saw that the peony flower on Liu Yiming's head was growing at an alarming rate, and Liu Yiming's eye sockets gradually sunken, revealing two black eye holes. Liu Yiming's cheeks were also rapidly collapsing, and after a while, there was still a complete body below the neck, and there was no damage at all, but above the neck it became a white skeleton.

On top of the skeleton is a blooming peony, delicate and beautiful, although it is at night, but in the moonlight it is impossible to see the blood red of the peony.

The air seemed to freeze, the other three could no longer say a word, death had come, and the three of them began to understand the true meaning of the eight terrible words "peony blossoms, extreme and declining".

Who will be next? The three of them looked at each other speechlessly. Ah Liu suddenly felt frightened, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he screamed: "Open the coffin, the second person who touches the Pearl of the Night is me." ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Yiming and Xu Shengming had already seen Ah Liu also quiet, the expression on his face seemed to be smiling, and a small peony flower also emerged from the top of his head. Zhao Yiming screamed in fright, and the notebook in his hand flew out with the spasm of his hand, and he didn't know where it fell.

Just when the peony flowers on Ah Liu's head were blooming more and more, Zhao Yiming had a trace of doubt in his frightened heart, and he didn't know why Xu Shengming was so calm and didn't make a single movement. When I turned my head to look, I saw that Xu Shengming was also smiling, and a peony flower was also blooming on the top of his head.

At this time, Zhao Yiming was already depressed, and the fear in his heart was indescribable. Seeing the three sitting corpses in front of him, the white skeletons on the upper part of the neck, and the three blood-red peonies that bloomed exactly the same to the extreme, he felt that his soul had left his body.

After a long time, Zhao Yiming seemed to have regained a trace of consciousness, and there was a trace of luck in his heart, could it be that only those who entered the tomb would encounter such a terrible accident?

A glimmer of light has gradually appeared in the sky, and Zhao Yiming's heart is at peace for a while, and he can see the things around him clearly.

What made him strange was that the deep "Huangchaogou" that the four people saw at night did not exist at all, and he was still sitting next to the tomb of Princess Yiyang, and there was a large flat grass around him. A thick, unnamed tree in the foreground on the right can be clearly seen, and the notebook that I have thrown off subconsciously in shock is stuck between the high forks, and above the forks is a large dense leaf.

The jewels stolen from the tomb slowly rolled to the ground because the mouth of the bag had gradually spread out for some unknown reason, and what terrified him even more was that the jewels, whether it was because of the low terrain or some other invisible force, actually rolled into the grave robbery tunnel that he assigned three of his men to excavate.

Zhao Yiming struggled to stand up slowly, no longer caring about any rare antiques, he just wanted to get away from this terrifying everything and leave this evil place as soon as possible.

By the time he staggered to his feet, it had begun to rain. The cold rain beat his cheeks, but it cleared Zhao Yiming's mind in extreme fear.

Zhao Yiming staggered out more than ten meters away, not daring to look back at the corpse of his companion with peony flowers blooming above his head.

The rain dripped down his forehead into Zhao Yiming's eyes, making him unable to see the way down the mountain in front of him. Zhao Yiming subconsciously stretched out his right hand and wiped the rain in his eyes that made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

When he opened his eyes again, he was about to put down his right hand and leave, but he touched the top of his head in a mysterious way.

At that moment, Zhao Yiming completely collapsed, because he touched something that seemed to be soft on the top of his head, and the touch told him that it was like the shape of a flower.

Not far away, on the hillside, the rain washes away, and a cloud of mud is slowly but forcefully flowing down, irresistibly washing everything on the ground.

When the sky clears, the Sealand Highway is lively again, and a large number of vehicles rush to Qianling, and waves of tourists flock to it.

Everything was calm again, and nothing seemed to have happened, except for a large meadow covered with mud and sand washed by the rain somewhere on the hillside.
