Professor Sun said that this cave is too damp, and everything in it is ruined, although the Guanshan Taibao Feng Shi Gu behaved strangely, but after all, he was a master with strange arts, how wonderful is the Guanshan Finger Mystery? How could the burial site be chosen in such a gloomy and damp place? We're in the wrong place again.

I also think that things are different, at this time I took off the gas mask, I can hear the faint sound of water flowing in the depths of the rock formation, it seems that there are water systems such as Yin River or underground lakes in the depths, and there is no real "mountain viewing finger mystery" as a reference, making it difficult for people to determine whether the cave under the "silver screen iron wall" is the entrance to the "ancient tomb of Dixian Village".

After a little thought, I made up my mind to continue to venture into the depths of the cave, only to see it clearly with my own eyes to have a plan, so I said to everyone: "Our team of people has the captain of the gold, as well as the masters in the honeycomb mountain and the experts who interpret ancient characters, there is no ancient tomb in the world, as long as there is really this ancient tomb, there is no worry about not being able to find it, now it is meaningless to speculate, we might as well follow the cave to the depths to see what is going on, everyone on the road to put the bright spots." ”

As soon as I said that, I half-propped up the "golden steel umbrella" in front of me, and took the "wolf's eye flashlight" to step down the stone steps first, and the rest of the people followed closely behind.

The cave is wet, dripping water everywhere, the terrain is high and low, the simple stone steps that are dug artificially are also intermittent, sometimes and now, there are holes in the hole here, there are forks in the road around from time to time, but the stone step path is only one one.

Go to the deepest part, the phosphating substances in the rock layer are gradually increasing, the ghost fire that is bright and flickering is dazzling, occasionally there are one or two snakes and rats living in the ground jumping by, I see this scene, my heart is even more up and down, the water immersion ant food is taboo for the burial, so in the real Tibetan wind and water in the auspicious land, there will never be insects, ants, snakes and rats.

After thinking about it, in the message left by the head of the Feng regiment before his death, it was only mentioned that the place where the magic brush painting door opened was the entrance to the "Earth Immortal Ancient Tomb", but this "entrance" left for the descendants of the Feng family may not be hidden in front of the "tomb gate" of the ancient tomb, but unconventionally hidden in the periphery of the ancient tomb, and the inside of the "Coffin Gorge" mountain is full of natural caves and mines, even if this cave really leads to the ancient tomb, I still know how many miles it will take to reach it.

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly heard the sound of the water in front of me gradually increase, and turned a corner in the natural tunnel inside the mountain, and the grotto suddenly became open, the cave was filled with a large amount of underground water, the dark water surface was glowing, and clusters of stalagmite-like rock pillars were exposed in the water, and the way ahead was blocked by the lake deep underground.

Although you can't see the situation in the distance of the lake, you can see that there may be a waterfall or spring at the far end of the underground lake, which is constantly pouring the Yin River into the lake area.

The stone steps in the cave were submerged in the water, and there was no road around to detour, and the only way forward was to wade through the water, and the fat man threw stones to test the depth of the lake, so he rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs to prepare to enter the water.

Professor Sun said to me, "Shall we swim over?" I...... I don't know how to water. ”

I was embarrassed and said, "Ninth Master, are you a landlubber?" Why didn't you say it earlier? Or... You discuss with Wang Fatzi, he has a lot of meat and a lot of buoyancy, maybe he can take you to swim over. ”

How can a fat man bear this drudgery? However, whenever there is an opportunity, as usual, I must first advertise myself: "Fat man, I am a brick in the construction of the four modernizations, where I need to move...... Lei Feng still carried his aunt across the river? What is swimming on our backs? Then the conversation changed: "But live and come back, to be honest, my swimming skills have really regressed recently, Sun Jiuye, you see that the underground lake is so deep that you can't touch the bottom, let's swim halfway, in case you encounter a water ghost in the lake who comes out of the water and drags people's feet and necks, don't blame me for not being righteous, then we can only take care of each other, so I have to ask you in advance whether you plan to eat wontons or eat bandao noodles?" ”

Professor Sun said angrily: "What are wontons and plate noodles? Intend to throw me halfway down the river into the river? You call it unloading the mill and killing the donkey. ”

The fat man said: "Fat man, I am a straight-eyed man, tell you in advance that this is called Ming people do not do dark things, this lake is cold and deep, there may be any danger under the water, if you are willing to let the water ghost drag down the water as a stand-in, I will give your old man a knife in the heart in advance, and then I will escape, it is better than both of us dying in the water, the fat man's hard work of pushing himself and others, why don't you understand?" ”

Just as Professor Sun was in a dilemma in front of the underground lake, Shirley Yang said to me: "We don't have airbags, swimming with weights is not a way, and my sister can't swim, so if you really want to swim through this water, you can only leave her and Professor Sun behind, or ...... Find a way to find a vehicle that can cross the water. ”

In fact, I also know very well that the underwater situation is unknown, and I did not plan to swim directly into the water, so I searched nearby by the light of the flashlight, the beam flickered, and I saw some vague and mottled paintings on the rock wall, and took a closer look, it seems to be related to the legend of the "Tomb of the King of the Black Sheep", the character described by the folklore as the "King of the Black Sheep", according to Professor Sun's analysis, may be the "King of Longchuan", let's call it the "King of Wuling" according to the folklore, in the "Coffin Gorge" in this mausoleum area, You can see all kinds of relics of the ancient tomb of King Wuling of Yishan everywhere.

I saw that most of the petroglyphs that fell off were execution scenes, depicting various tortures of "beheading and splitting corpses", I thought to myself that this is strange, could it be that this underground water hole does not lead to an ancient tomb, but an ancient "execution ground"?

According to the description of the ancient burial system in the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", the Bashu Wuchu area, that is, the Hubei region of Sichuan, there was a kind of tomb in ancient times, using a rare master-slave stacking structure, and there were two kinds of burials, such as "companion and martyrdom", and most of the people who were buried were people with relatively low social status, such as "slaves, craftsmen, and prisoners", who would be buried by the tomb owner when they were executed or buried alive together with the buried livestock and spirit animals.

In the master-slave superimposed tombs, the place where these martyrs bury their bones is called "mass burial hole", there are generally eighteen holes mixed burial, so it is also called "eighteen chaotic burials", the main structure of the ancient tomb should be built on a central axis, take the best place to build the coffin chamber of the underworld, as the "eighteen mass burial holes" of the burial, then buried under the coffin chamber of the tomb road.

Feng shui shape shì ever-changing, the main and subordinate superimposed tombs generally have the Yin River from the bottom through, "I Ching" said "dragon leaping in the abyss", the "dragon tower treasure hall" of the mountain and river aura, is from the bottom to rise and entangle, the ancient tomb below the mass burial hole is a fierce hole, from what you see in front of you, "Guanshan Taibao" is in the eighteen mass burials left a road, want to enter the ancient tomb above, only from the Yin River to cross the water.

There are as many as 18 mass grave caves, and most of them are buried in the area of "prisoners and prisoners" near the water caves in the underground lake.

Professor Sun never drew conclusions lightly out of personal habit, but at this time he said that I was reasonable, there was indeed such a system in ancient times, although no one had ever excavated such tombs, but there is a lot of corroboration in the historical materials that can be used as a basis, if a large number of bones of the martyrs can be found, there will be no more difference.

So we continued to search along the rocks beside the water, and found that there were many cracks in the cave wall, which were scattered with human bone residues, only the teeth and skulls could still be recognized, and there were also strings of shackles and chains, all of which were used to rope the prisoners in rows and rows.

According to a rough estimate of the scale of the terrain, there are at least thousands of bones buried in the dozens of rock crevices and caves in the mass grave cave, and there are dozens of simple pine coffins sleeping on the ground, and the coffins are bound with chains.

Although my sister is very brave, she is still a little afraid when she sees this terrible situation, and asks me if there are any ghosts in the world?

I saw that the cave was full of the bones of the undertaker, and I estimated that this time I had really entered the bottom of the ancient tomb, and when I was speculating on the specific structure of the ancient tomb in my mind, I was asked by my sister coldly.

I wonder why people who are new to the fight will have this question? I remember when I was in the South China Sea, Gu Chai also asked Uncle Ming this question, but I won't answer like Uncle Ming, I told my sister that there is nothing to be afraid of, whether there is a ghost or not, I can't prove it to you now, everything in this world is impermanent, strange and different, and there are often earth-shaking bizarreness inadvertently, not you see it with your own eyes, and it is difficult for you to believe it when someone else says it, but why do people often say ghosts and gods in the world, I think it's all because of people's grievances, If there is really no such thing as deception and injustice in the world, even if there are ghosts everywhere, what is there to be afraid of?

When I said this, I suddenly felt emotion in my heart, and laughed at myself: "We have a way in heaven not to go, and hell has no door to cast." It's a good life, but he wades through mountains and rivers, digging out his mind to enter the ghost place of the ancient tomb of Dixian Village, and deep down in his heart, he still feels that this kind of action is particularly refreshing, isn't it a bit addictive? ”

The fat man complained: "Lao Hu, you are foolish again, how many times have I told you before, don't engage in the revisionist inverted fighting line for the time being, there are ghosts, there are ghosts, I'm afraid it will be a handful of birds?" Besides, can you not devote yourself to your career? How can it be said to be addictive? If so...... I'm so sorry for our enthusiasm for the gold business. He shone a flashlight into the mass grave and said, "Look, isn't there a coffin?" The coffin life cover is the thickest and widest, floating on the water, I think it can be used as an assault boat to make ......" As he spoke, he jumped into the rocks, went to turn over the old and broken pine coffins, and wanted to dismantle a few pieces to make a raft, and take local materials, it was better than going back to the gorge to carry the hanging coffin.

The coffins near the bones of the prisoners, most of the corpses are nobles with status among the captives, but as a martyr, they do not get any preferential treatment, those pine coffins are extremely simple, and they have been entangled in chains for a long time, and they will be scattered when touched, and there is still a good coffin board available.

The fat man kicked several thin-skinned pine coffins with his feet one after another, and when he could squeeze others, his mouth was never idle, and he asked Professor Sun as if he had nothing to do, what should I do if there is no suitable coffin to make an "assault boat"?

Professor Sun didn't seem to hear what he said, he didn't get angry, and said casually, "Hmm...... This one...... This stacked burial cave is a mixed burial area, the coffin is pressed and the bones are buried in the coffin, when I used to work in Henan, I saw a rectangular wooden stake at the bottom of the burial cave during an excavation. ”

I looked at it coldly, thinking that Sun Jiuye had gambled the rest of his life on the tomb to find the book of heaven, made a desperate bet, won or lost in this duel, and turned a blind eye to the fat man's actions, most of the time before, he simply pretended not to see and hear, and even hinted at the fat man at this time, asking him to go to the bones of the mass burial cave to find well-preserved wood, I couldn't help but secretly scold this guy is really a "fake Taoism", although sympathize with him for the ups and downs in his life, but he can't help but look down on him a little bit.

The fat man turned over on the ground for a while, and didn't see any wooden stakes, but found six or seven big red coffins of "vermilion lacquer and gold", which were also wrapped around iron cables, and the coffin was decorated with secret color shells, and depicted a god born of a steel halberd, with a half-bloody evil ghost in his mouth, and eating roast chicken, he was biting like eating roast chicken, which looked very bloody and cruel, looking at the shape of those lacquer coffins, they were all coffins before and after the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and everyone felt that this matter was strange, under the mass burial cave of the prisoners in the ancient tomb of the Black Sheep King, how could there be a lacquer coffin in the Ming Dynasty? I don't know what's weird, could it be that the Fengshi Gu of Dixian Village is buried here?

Professor Sun jumped down and looked at it, saying that the bottom of the mass burial cave was changed to a "tomb well", which is the custom of the Ming Dynasty, this "well" is different from the "well" of the Jinjing jade burial, and the shape is not a "well", but it means "not buried directly", because the Ming Dynasty continued the living martyrdom system of the Yuan Dynasty, so the people buried in the "tomb well" must be martyred alive, you see that these red lacquer coffins are painted with "Zhong Kui eats ghosts", which is used to town ghosts, I don't know who is the person who is buried for the "earth immortals", but there are **, They were all suffocated in coffins.

I nodded and said: "The site of this tomb has been occupied by the Guanshan Taibao, the ancient master of Feng is good at mathematics, he must follow the ancient method of feng shui, still nail the living in the coffin and bury it here, refusing to make the mausoleum area have the slightest wind and dew, the vermilion lacquer coffin is well preserved, we just use it as a vehicle to cross the water." ”

The coffin floating water is the work done by Xiangxi Paijiao, commonly known as "lifting the sedan chair", similar legends I have heard Chen Blind say, wrapped in several layers of vermilion lacquer coffin, are impermeable and seamless, no seam is to prevent ghosts from coming out, the living people are locked in it and suffocated to death, the coffin naturally has a resentment that does not disperse, so the floating water does not sink, but this is a folk saying, in fact, the so-called "coffin of hidden ghosts, can cross the Yin River" phenomenon, most of them are related to the filling of rot in the coffin.

At this time, it is very time-consuming to dismantle the coffin board, it is better to use the method of lifting the sedan chair, and the coffin is used as an "assault boat" to cross the water forward, everyone has no other good way, but to follow the ancient law, whether it can be done or not is not sure, the vermilion lacquer coffin is extremely heavy, this is called "dead sinking, dead sinking", "dead but not transforming" of the deceased Qi occlusion, far heavier than the living, but there is a way is "home remedies to cure serious diseases", sometimes the folk soil method does not believe that it really does not work, dragged into the water, the coffin is hard and not sinking.

Speaking of this earthwork, home remedies, many of them are spread from some sects in the old society, those who used as magic sticks "Taibao, Shi Niang", often used to fool the people, but here is really effective, and the effect is like a god, such as the wind is blind, the sand in the eyes immediately spit, immediately can be restored to normal; Another example is "hiccups", which can be cured by drinking seven sips of water in one go, and it is not okay to drink more or less, but only seven sips of water.

These "Taibao, Shi Niang" of the home remedies, in modern medicine are difficult to explain, even they themselves may not be reasonable, only presumed that it is the fairy family handed down to help the world's wonderful law, after the liberation of the barefoot doctor training manual can not be separated from these home remedies, I have not seen a variety of strange "soil methods" in my life, so I am more confident in the sedan chair to cross the water, when the first jump on it to try the buoyancy, although the coffin is not much wider than the canoe, but the underground lake water flow is stable, it is not difficult to paddle on it.

A lacquered coffin is not enough for five people to ride, so another one was dragged into the water, Shirley Yang and I took one of them, and the other three people lay on the other coffin, no one has ever experienced the matter of crossing the water by coffin, and there is no way to talk about the word experience, that is, relying on how bold people are, otherwise alone, who has the courage to sit in the coffin containing the ancient corpse ghost to cross the Yin River? Rao is a self-confessed ruthless and courageous person, but from time to time in the subconscious there is an illusion, always feel that there seems to be something moving in the coffin under me, near the lacquer coffin occasionally fish turn out of the water, making a "whoosh" sound, and see the ghost fire floating on the water, it is really like entering the ghost domain Styx, in this strange and unpredictable atmosphere, the surrounding darkness seems to be more dangerous, I can't help but raise my heart to my throat.

Everyone sappers shoveled the water, looking for the sound of water forward, the two lacquer coffins were floating extremely smoothly for a while, and suddenly saw a ghost fire flickering violently dozens of meters away, in the bleak light and shadow, you can vaguely see a black fish spine-like thing, the surface of the underground lake also looks black, but there are also many bright spots on that thing, as if there are thousands of eyes, it is floating on the water at the moment, and the "floating coffin sedan chair" supported by the fat three people is getting closer.

The fat man craned his neck and raised a flashlight to shine to see what was in the water, and I wanted to remind him to be careful, but before he could say anything, he saw the mass suddenly jump up from the water and rush into the air.
