The partridge whistle was very fast, and suddenly there was a gold-armored warrior holding a mountain axe to split himself in the shaft, and immediately shouted, his body popped back, and he stuck to the stone wall behind him, and at the same time opened the vajra umbrella to protect his head and face, and the mirror box with twenty rings was also pulled out of his waist, and the gun body was sent forward, using the left hand holding the vajra umbrella to prop up the nose, and put on a posture of both offense and defense, and aimed the muzzle at the opposite gold-armored warrior.

Why did Partridge Whistle scream just now? If you do a certain amount of kung fu practice, you will involuntarily make a special sound from your mouth, which is related to human breathing, and if you don't shout out, you will be prone to internal injury, not because you are afraid to shout.

But the partridge whistle roared in a voice that didn't matter and startled Father Thomas, who had not yet climbed down the ladder, and slipped and fell off the ladder.

The partridge whistle listened to the sound of the wind above his head, knew that someone had fallen, and hurriedly raised the diamond umbrella and held the American priest who fell, fortunately, it was not too high, and Father Thomas was surrounded by the arc of the umbrella of the diamond umbrella before falling to the ground, although the fall hurt his waist and legs, but it was not a big deal.

At the same time, the partridge whistle also took advantage of the blue phosphorescent light to see clearly the golden-armored warrior holding the great axe of the mountain. It turned out to be a false alarm, and the samurai was painted on a stone wall, but the painting was so realistic and the colors were bright. The warrior's body was similar to that of ordinary people, with a fierce face, bearded eyebrows, and a golden armor and a golden helmet, which was extremely powerful. Moreover, the artist's craftsmanship is exquisite to the extreme, and the movements of the gold-armored samurai are full of tension, although it is a static mural, the kind of courage in the painting is about to come out, and when you look at it coldly, it really seems that it will break out of the wall of the painting at any time.

At this time, Elder Lichen also climbed down from the shaft, and he was amazed after seeing the murals of the warriors. Elder Lichen and Partridge Whistle carefully looked at the characteristics of the warriors on the mural, and they could conclude that this Jinjia general was a member of the Qin State back then, named Weng Zhong, who was extremely brave, and legend has it that even gods and ghosts were afraid of him. Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a portrait of General Weng Zhong on the first wall of the large aristocratic mausoleum, just like the role of the door god, guarding the safety of the mausoleum.

However, this kind of color portrait exposed to the outermost part of the main body of the mausoleum is easily eroded by the air, and after a long time, the color in the air painting will volatilize, and most of the tomb robbers enter from the bottom or side of the ancient tomb when they are upside down, and they rarely pass through the front tomb door, so they have only heard of the legendary tomb guard general Weng Zhong, and today is the first time I saw it, so I couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Partridge Whistle said to Elder Chen: "Master, this tomb of the Western Xia people is indeed deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and even the generals of the ancient Qin State have copied it. It seems that the wall with the tomb guard general is supposed to be the ancient tomb stone gate under the Great Buddha Temple, and the location we are in now is already the Xuanmen. ”

Elder Lichen raised the lantern, looked at the stone wall with Weng Zhong painted on it, nodded and said: "There are door nails on the wall, which are indeed tomb doors...... Before Elder Chen's words fell, he saw that the golden armor Weng Zhong on the stone door flashed twice and disappeared.

Father Thomas entered this eerie tunnel, and was nervous, when he suddenly saw that the golden-armored warrior on the wall suddenly disappeared under his nose under the light of the lantern, and was so shocked that he drew a cross on his chest again and again.

Elder Lichen said to Father Thomas: "Monk Yang don't need to panic, the air here is gradually circulating, and the oil paint on those paintings has volatilized, and it is not the work of ghosts and gods. ”

Father Thomas was shocked, only felt that this place was full of mysterious and strange atmosphere, even the omniscient and all-powerful God probably did not know what the world behind this stone gate was like, today was forced in by these two Chinese, but it was really unlucky, maybe this underground world is the territory leading to Satan, or there are werewolves, vampires, zombies and the like in it. Although Thomas is a priest and has a firm faith, he has never been able to change his fear in the face of darkness, and he often blames himself in his heart, thinking that his faith is probably not strong, and today's encounter may be a test for God to himself, and he must find ways to overcome the darkness he fears, but this innate psychology is difficult to overcome in a short period of time.

Partridge Whistle didn't have time to pay attention to the complicated mood of the American priest at the moment, carefully checked the Xuanmen of the ancient tomb, and knew that this was a quicksand door, the design principle of this tomb door is very ingenious, there is a lot of sand behind the tomb door, after burying the tomb owner, close the stone door from the outside, there is a track under the stone door, when the stone door is closed, drive the mechanism behind the door, there will be a large amount of sand flowing out, automatically backfill the tomb behind the door, use the power of quicksand to kill the stone door, and the entire tomb is also filled with quicksand, so that while backfilling the tomb road, It also added a safety to the tomb door, and although the stone door was not thick, it could no longer be pushed open from the outside.

But then Partridge Whistle and Elder Dust discovered a small detail that was easy to overlook, that is, the gap under the stone door, and the sand that did not leak out. Because no matter how ingenious and precise the Xuanmen is, there must be a little gap under the door because there is a slide rail, and when the quicksand door is closed, there will always be a small amount of fine sand squeezed out in the gap.

There was no trace of fine sand, which clearly indicated that the quicksand mechanism behind the door was not activated. If it is said that according to the burial of the deceased, this seems a little incredible, but there is no burial in this tomb, it is full of treasures of the Western Xia court, and the Western Xia people are ready to take out these things after returning to the country in the future, so the tomb door cannot be completely sealed.

This saves a lot of hands and feet, and there is no need to enter the robbery hole, and you can directly push open the stone door to enter the treasure cave of the tomb from the tomb passage. Partridge Whistle joined Elder Chen and Father America, and pushed the Xuanmen together.

The Xuanmen was not sealed, and the quicksand mechanism behind the door was artificially closed, although the stone gate was heavy, but this stone gate was not the kind of thousand-pound giant gate in the emperor's tomb, it was just a barrier at the entrance of the tomb in the noble tomb, and it was only a few hundred catties of strength.

The partridge whistle held the vajra umbrella and entered the Xuanmen, and then shot out a fire spirit child, and the fire flashed, and the entire tomb was seen clearly. There was no sand in the sand storage tanks on both sides of the cemetery, it was empty, and the tomb bricks on the ground of the cemetery were paved smoothly, and the partridge whistle knew that the more smooth and orderly the tomb was, the more hidden dangers there were, and there were likely hidden arrows, throwing knives, poisonous smoke and other mechanisms in ambush.

Elder Lichen also instructed the partridge whistle to be more vigilant in the back, the quicksand gate was not sealed, it may be because the Xixia people were in a hurry to run for their lives, and they had no time to take care of it in a hurry, anyway, this big Buddha temple has been swallowed up by the deteriorating natural environment, and there is no mark on the ground, and people who don't know the truth can't find it at all. It may also be a trap that makes the tomb robbers who enter the Xuanmen feel lax. As the saying goes, the Xuanmen is easy to enter, the Xuandao is fatal, although some Xuanmen is thick and huge, there are stone balls and quicksand behind to block, but those are stupid kung fu, as long as there is enough external force to intervene, it can be opened, the real hidden weapon is in the tomb first, followed by the tomb road, both of which are the places where tomb robbers must pass.

The partridge whistle naturally did not dare to be careless, after all, he had never entered the tomb of the Xixia people, he held his breath and stepped on the tomb bricks, the length of the tomb road was about twenty-three zhang, and there was a gate at the end.

The situation in the vicinity of this gate is unusual, as the gate is high and wide, creating a round arch like a city gate, which occupies the entire section of the tomb. The gate is carved with white jade, without any patterns, and there are many Western Xia characters engraved on it. Although Partridge Whistle and others did not know what these words meant, they assumed that they were some kind of Buddhist scriptures. There is a copper beam across the jade door, and a huge lock hangs in the middle, and there is no key, so behind the door must be the tomb that serves as a treasure cave.

Strangely, on both sides of the white jade gate on the front, there is a deep arched round hole. Partridge Whistle and Elder Lichen had never seen a cave of this kind in the tomb passage, but it was clear that these two round holes of exactly the same size, symmetrically built on both sides, were artificial, and were built very strongly, and the stone slabs on the four walls were as smooth as mirrors, and the height and width were all zhangxu, which was by no means done in a hurry, and should have been designed in advance when the entire mausoleum was designed, and the mausoleum was a whole.

Judging from Elder Chen's experience, this may be a Dao organ, and after analyzing it with Partridge Whistle, Partridge Whistle said to Elder Chen: "There is a copper lock on the jade door, and the disciple is good at breaking the lock, but I am afraid that once the copper lock is destroyed, it will cause an ambush ......."

Elder Lichen waved his hand and said: "It seems that this lock cannot be opened, and a copper lock installed on the jade door will inevitably be suspected of painting snakes, how can people who can enter the tomb be stopped by this copper lock?" Legend has it that the Northern Song Dynasty had a heart-to-heart lock, and you can see if the lock body is connected with the jade gate, and if you move this lock, it will definitely activate a mechanism such as poisonous smoke. ”

The partridge whistle didn't dare to move the lock, and looked at it cautiously and repeatedly, and sure enough, the copper lock was connected with the copper beam on the jade door, not to mention unlocking the lock, as soon as it touched the lock, it would trigger some kind of bracket and shoot in front of the door. Partridge Whistle couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw this, he had always been cautious, but today he didn't know why he was anxious, if it wasn't for Elder Chen's recognition of the mechanism, he would have been on the spot at this moment.

Elder Lichen had already seen the clue at this moment, and said to the partridge whistle: "It seems that the jade gate is a disguise, don't look at the materials are so exquisite, but it is a fake door, and it must not be broken into, and the arches on both sides must also have mechanisms." This ancient tomb of Western Xia is not large, but it is exquisitely arranged, and if you want to enter the tomb, you can only enter from the bottom of the tomb. No matter how eccriminate the Tangut people are, they can't get rid of the influence of the five elements of feng shui yin and yang theory, the theory of this tomb road is just the use of the four doors and four phases, according to the cat and the tiger, the stone slab on our feet must be active, you can enter the tomb from below, if as expected, it should be the only entrance. ”

The partridge whistle followed Elder Chen's instructions, and opened the tomb bricks under the tomb road one by one, and sure enough, a large hole was exposed, leading directly to the tomb behind the jade gate.

Still by the partridge whistle holding the vajra umbrella in front of the way, the three of them drilled into the tomb from the tunnel, there was a huge black stone hanging in the tunnel, like a black beehive, the partridge whistle and the dust elder didn't know what it was, through the phosphorescent tube to see, like a stone like jade, I don't know what it is, I think it's better not to touch, slowly rubbed it from the side.

As soon as you enter the tomb, you will feel that your eyes are bright, the six-zhang wide tomb is full of jewels, and all kinds of treasures piled up like a hill look strange and dazzling in the blue light of the phosphorus cylinder, the most conspicuous of which is a coral tree in the middle full of various gems. The secret treasures in the palace are really not mundane, and there are countless scriptures and classics, large and small boxes, and the little good things in the Xixia Palace may be here.

Father Thomas, an American priest, saw both eyes straight, and discussed with Elder Chen, whether he could come up with one or two, and build a few church schools outside with a random thing, so that the homeless children could find a place to eat, go to school, and believe in religion.

Elder Lichen said to the American priest, "Why not do such a good deed, but these things are national treasures, and they should not be alarmed. If you want to build a school, you can help with it, anyway, the four major monks are empty, and it is useless to keep those yellow and white things. ”

The partridge whistle was only concerned about the dust beads, although the other treasures were exquisite, in his eyes they were only like grass and paper, and he stepped on the jewels everywhere and walked a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to the dust elder behind him: "Oh no, there is a dead man in this treasure cave. ”

Before, it was judged that there would be no dead people in this empty tomb, and when he heard the partridge whistle say this, Elder Lichen was also taken aback, and hurried to the front to watch, only to see a white human bone in the corner of the tomb, the skeleton was much taller than ordinary people, the white bone held a bunch of keys in his hand, and there was a black thousand-armed Buddha behind him, not stone or jade, the phosphorescent tube shone on it, there was no light at all, and the white bone in front of it was contrasted, and it was even more black and white, which made people shudder.

Seeing this situation, Elder Lichen's heart sank: "The big thing is not good, tonight the moon is broken, the Bodhisattva closes his eyes, and all the magic weapons will lose their effect. What's even more strange is that there is a statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes here...... Black Buddha? ”
