No matter which dynasty it is, there is no one who wants to take the initiative to accompany the burial, and the palace people who were buried during the Ming Dynasty generally have two ways to die, the first is to hang themselves directly. There are also people who are unwilling to hang, dare not die, and struggle to obey. And the funeral, according to different dynasties, also has its own particularity. For example, a woman who is buried cannot get blood on it.

She doesn't want to die, and you can't hack her to death with a knife, what about this kind of person? There are also ways. First put the person on a bed, at the head of the bed, there is a wooden box, and there is a hole in the wooden box, just stuck in the person's neck.

After the wooden box is filled with a person's head, and then the bed under the person is pulled open, naturally, the person's neck bone will be broken, and it feels creepy to think about.

However, this Geger is a princess, and even if she is really buried with her, it stands to reason that there will not be too many people who will be buried. But right now, the broken corpses in the lake are obviously beyond the expected, what is going on? This Princess Geger, when she heard it, was not a Han Chinese, could it be a princess of some frontier people? That's why so many people were martyred after death?

At this moment, the corpses and dead fish in the lake are still rolling, at a glance, shocking, and the three Wei Guangtou are also nowhere to be seen, and the corpses in the lake are rolling, like hell on earth. The three of us didn't know where to go for a while. In the final analysis, although I have a lot of theoretical knowledge, I have little practical experience, and no matter how smart I am on weekdays, I only feel a dilemma at this time.

The three of Wei Guangtou disappeared, and it was difficult to distinguish between life and death. Do we keep looking, or do we stop there?

As time passed, the moon's rays became fainter and weaker, and the pre-dawn night became thicker. Feng Ghost Hand was the most experienced of the three of us, he paced back and forth by the lake, and finally sat on the ground, came up with an idea, and said: "Wait, this place has existed for hundreds of years, this is definitely not the first time this situation has happened, let's see the situation first." ”

In the dark, we sat on the edge of the foul-smelling lake, watching the dead fish and dried corpses rise and fall in the lake, and every now and then a human head would emerge from the water, half-exposed with bones and dried flesh, as if it would jump out at any moment.

Although it was summer, the lake was very cold and gloomy, so Tofu collected some firewood, which we lit by the lake, barely dispelled the cold, and took turns sleeping. In such an environment, I naturally can't sleep steadily, I have nightmares from time to time, each dream is very short, and the last dream is even more weird, I actually dreamed of Princess Geger, crawling out of the lake wet, covered in rotten meat, she raised her face to look at me, that face made me gasp, because it was Gu Wenmin's face!

I woke up scared out.

When I woke up, it was Tofu who was keeping vigil, and Ghost Feng was lying on his side.

I still had a dream in my mind, and I couldn't help but look at the lake. Luckily, there wasn't any Princess Geger in that place. I was a little panicked in my heart, I couldn't figure out how I could have such a bizarre dream, and how I could connect Ge Ge'er and Gu Wenmin. Thinking of Gu Wenmin, I don't know if she has given up, but at this time, it is estimated that she has returned to Fengtou Village.

Perhaps because of this dream, I always felt that this was a bad omen for Gu Wenmin. Could it be that my plans have gone wrong? Could it be that Gu Wenmin is in any danger alone? I couldn't sleep for a while, so I took out a cigarette from my backpack and smoked it slowly.

When Tofu saw that I was awake, he told me to watch the fire and sleep again.

It was almost dawn at the moment, but the place we were in was lifeless. The waterfowl had already been frightened away, and there was not a single superfluous sound in the whole place, except for the sound of the wind and the rolling of the lake, as if there were only three of us living left in heaven and earth. This is a very bad situation.

As if to confirm my suspicions, as I finished my fifth cigarette, I suddenly felt a slight change rise around me. At first, I didn't notice it, but it wasn't until a cool breeze blew that I suddenly realized that the stench had faded. From the dead fish to the corpses coming out, the three of us were almost always enveloped in that stench, but at this moment, unconsciously, that stench has dissipated a lot, and I don't know what happened.

Sensing this change, I immediately got up and thought to myself, could it be that something had changed? Then he held a torch and looked into the lake. At this moment, the sky was not clear, and every qiē was shrouded in the darkness before dawn, and by the light of the torches, I immediately found that the water level of the lake was receding, and it was retreating very quickly, and in an instant it had gone down about two or three meters.

And the place where the spring water used to gush in the lake before began to absorb water again, as if forming a huge whirlpool, and the corpses and dead fish in the lake were swept into this whirlpool, and most of them had disappeared.

In the middle of the night, the vision of the lake was already astonishing, and at this moment, this huge whirlpool was like the eye of the sea, and the water level in the lake was rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a moment, it had descended to a lower position than when we first saw it, and the lake did not stop, it continued, and I couldn't help but wonder: should we suck the whole lake dry?

Thinking so, I immediately woke up Tofu and Feng Ghost Hand, and the three of them stood at the mountain range, staring at the vision in the lake below, stunned for a while.

After a while, Tofu said, "This ...... What kind of lake is this, it's weird. ”

Feng Ghost showed a thoughtful look, stared at the lake that was still shrinking, and said: "There should be a large underground water source connected to this lake...... Before the words fell, he suddenly paused, and then looked at the lake in a daze.

At this time, the surface of the lake had shrunk to only about ten meters, as if it could no longer be called a lake, it was almost the same as a spring, and the whirlpool gradually disappeared. At a glance, the bottom of the mountain ridge was originally the location of the lake, revealing the silt and stones at the bottom of the lake, and a clear spring is located in the middle of the lake. Half a red sun had risen in the sky, and the golden light had cracked, penetrating the clouds, shining in the spring water, and a golden light flowing, which was dizzying.

In an instant, I understood what the so-called golden divine spring in the mouth of the surnamed Ren meant. Standing on the ridge at this moment, under the rising sun, the golden spring water, like a golden pearl falling into the surrounding mountains, attracted the attention of the three of us firmly.

It was only at this time that I understood why the four Wei Guangtou had misestimated the location of the tomb at first, and it turned out that the reference had been wrong. This lake originally did not exist zài, but this sacred spring, it is estimated that there will often be the situation of last night, so it will form a lake, there is a lake to use as a reference, and naturally there is no tomb. If I'm right, the real tomb is under the silt at the bottom of the lake.

Presumably, the people who built the tomb of Princess Geger did not expect that with the change of time, the spring would change so much that it would actually flood the ancient tomb. Feng Ghost Hand obviously understood this, his expression changed, and he said, "I hope it's not a water hole." ”

Tofu didn't understand the black language, and quietly asked me what a water hole is.

The so-called water hole, that is, the ancient tomb that is not well sealed, enters the water or is damp, there are also some tomb robbers, and the tomb will not be filled after the tomb is robbed, so that the rainwater will be poured into the tomb, so when encountering the water hole, it means that the Ming ware in the tomb is likely to have been damaged, or has been the first to be boarded by peers.

Of course, where there is a hole in water, there is a hole in fire. A fire cave is an ancient tomb that has been sealed and has not been stolen. This kind of tomb, generally after opening the tomb bricks, can not use open flames, because the perennial closed air flow in the tomb will form a combustible gas, as soon as you see the open flame.

In the past, tomb robbers did not have flashlights, and before digging the grave, they would first insert a hollow bamboo pole or iron rod into the tomb, and then light an open fire at the end of the iron rod facing outward. If the fire is lit like an air gun, it means that it is a sealed tomb that has not been stolen. When encountering this kind of tomb, it is necessary to pry open the tomb bricks for ventilation, otherwise people will burn themselves as soon as they use an open flame when they enter.

On the other hand, if it is not lit, it means that the tomb is likely to be flooded, out of gas, or has been visited.

With sharp eyes, I found a crack in the mud, and I couldn't help but say: "It is estimated that your wish will be frustrated, I will vouch for it, this is definitely a water hole." Feng Ghost Hand followed my gaze, and found the crack, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "It seems that this trip is not smooth, since those ghost shadows can come out of the tomb at that time, there must be a passage, it seems that it is from this crack, presumably it has been flooded inside, no matter how good things are, soaked for hundreds of years, they are almost rotten." ”

Tomb robbery and digging mushrooms are just to dig them out and sell them for money, and since the contents are soaked in water, the situation can be imagined.
