Chapter 57: The Tomb of the Taoist Priest

After listening to this, Tofu muttered to himself, "Countless eyes are staring at us? He looked around for a moment and said, "If you have any eyes, you will be bluffing when you hear them." This Xu Fu is worthy of having traveled to the sea and across the ocean, and he has learned to play the trick of curses. ”

I don't know why, the huge face with a gas mask flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart, and I said: Does this curse have any effect?

After Wu Sidong finished speaking, Professor Lin sighed and said: "It's not that I'm cowardly, I once opened an immortal tomb, and the owner of the tomb is a Taoist priest, and there are really a lot of weird and incomprehensible things in it, which made us suffer heavy losses and had to fill in the soil and bury it." This Xu Fu is a famous scholar in the Qin Dynasty, I originally thought that Xiao Chen could help, but when I saw this curse, I didn't want you to take risks. There are three kinds of tombs in this world that cannot be touched, and you who dig mushrooms upside down should know it. "Professor Lin has been engaged in archaeology all his life, and he has probably come into contact with a lot of tomb robbers, and he is also a student of my grandfather, so the black words on the road are slippery.

I nodded to show that I understood that the three kinds of tombs that could not be touched were actually the rules passed down by word of mouth among tomb robbers, and Professor Lin probably heard it from my grandfather.

This first type of tomb is the immortal tomb, that is, the mausoleum where those Taoist monks are buried. These people were proficient in foreign arts and had all kinds of strange methods, and their tombs were often extremely evil. I once heard my grandfather tell a story about the tomb of the immortals, and there was a bridge in it that left a deep impression on me.

It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were two small thieves who wanted to rob the tomb, and they were also self-aware, knowing that they could not dig up the tomb of the prince, so they targeted the rich businessmen and others. Under the calculations of the two little thieves, they started the idea of a cemetery outside the city, which was originally called the tomb of the Liu family, which was said to have been the cemetery of a large family surnamed Liu, but the times have changed, and the family surnamed Liu has long since disappeared, so the cemetery covering a vast area has been deserted and has become a mass grave.

The mass graves are divided into north and south sides, and the south side is a serious mass grave, full of ownerless lonely graves, wild dogs scurrying around, and bare white bones. The north side is relatively well preserved, and there are several large tombs, which should be the local residents of Liu's tomb. The two thieves looked at the inscription on the tombstone, ready to pick a spacious grave to start with, looked at it, and finally took a fancy to a Taoist grave.

The tombstone is written on the life of the Taoist priest, it turns out that the Taoist priest is also surnamed Liu, is the Liu family, and then went out of the capital Baiyun Temple, and then entered the palace to specialize in celestial phenomena, divination of the Qin Tianjian work, the size of the mixed an official and a half-post, after the death buried in the ancestral grave. In total, in this piece of tomb, this Taoist priest has been an official, there is a Tao that is a three-year Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so he can get something out of it. So the two took advantage of the night to work, preparing to dig mushrooms.

As I said before, we ordinary people, dig a boxy pit, put it in a coffin, cover it with sealed soil, and finish it, this is called a grave; If you have a bit of origin, dig a big deep pit, build tomb bricks around it, put some funerary goods in it, and put a coffin, which is called a tomb; There are also those dignitaries, the specifications of the tomb are larger, three layers of sand and quickstone, and some hidden crossbows are set inside, even if it is a big tomb; Further up, the princes opened mountains and built underground palaces, and that could not be called a tomb, it was called a tomb, such as the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

The Taoist priest recognized by these two thieves, that is, a small tomb, the tomb is not deep, the two of them are crooked, and they can't even dig a regular thief hole, dig a hole in the earth, destroy the thin tomb bricks outside and enter the main tomb.

In the main tomb, the arc of the main tomb is full of wood, and there are some porcelain calligraphy and paintings scattered around, which are all modern at that time, and they are not very expensive. The two of them couldn't look down on these, because good things were usually in the coffin, so the two of them recklessly opened the coffin, only to see that it was a dry bone in a Taoist robe, and there was also a piece of coiled dragon jade carved with yin and yang gossip in his arms.

This jade bi is a good thing, the two of them have this harvest, they are overjoyed, take the jade bi and turn around, ready to run out along the hole dug before. Who knew that when he turned around, a coffin appeared in front of him, and the dry bones in the coffin wearing Taoist robes were the same as those behind him, and then looked at the environment in front of him, it was exactly the same, there was no change at all, as if the two of them did not turn around at all.

The two of them were stunned, thinking that they were confused and turned to the wrong place, so they turned back again, who knew that after turning around, there was still the coffin in front of them, or the same environment, and the legs of the two people trembled in an instant. It turned out that no matter how they turned, they couldn't turn around the entrance of the thief cave behind them, and no matter which direction they were heading, they were always facing the coffin in the end.

The two of them peed their crotch in fright, hurriedly stuffed the jade back, kowtowed and swore again, and the gambling curse would never dare to come again, and then covered the coffin back, and when they turned around again, this was really turned around. The two climbed out of the hole, backfilled the robbery hole, and never dared to rob the tomb again. In retrospect, this was also a legendary experience, so I often took it out as a conversation.

The small Taoist tomb, although there is no secret crossbow, but it is full of evil doors, and it is obvious that the tomb owner used some strange arts that he learned by himself before his death. That Taoist tomb is just a small tomb, but if that's the case, let alone Xu Fu and his ilk? Therefore, in the mushroom digging industry, the most taboo is the 'fairy tomb', because these tomb owners are not easy to mess with, let you have more experienced tomb robbers, go in and encounter all kinds of strange things, and then you don't even know how to die.

The second type of tomb that cannot be touched is the 'joint burial tomb', which does not refer to the joint burial of husband and wife, but to the tomb with children in the joint burial. There are few such tombs, but they are not nothing, you think, a family of three or four or five is dead, buried in a tomb, the family is happy, naturally happy, simply the ghost does not disperse, and lives in the tomb for a long time. When the tomb robbers go in, the whole family will join forces to fix you, and you will be able to get you down with three heads and six arms.

The last type of tomb is what we often call a murderous tomb, that is, a tomb that is not very good in terms of geographical shape, and the feng shui has changed in the middle of the way, and it is easy to have accidents. However, this kind of tomb benevolent people see benevolence, wise people see wisdom, and the dangerous process is different, those who have the ability dare to touch it, and those who don't dare to touch it. For example, the Xu Fu Tomb where we are now, if it weren't for the fact that there is a fire path outside that changes the wind and water, then this is a real murderous tomb, and I am afraid that I will not enter to ask for trouble.

At first, Professor Lin was at a loss because this was an immortal tomb, so he pulled me, Tofu and Gu Wenmin were brought by the way, Tofu was my follower, and Gu Wenmin was the person in charge of this meritorious action, and the three of us were all in the nature of helping. But when we really arrived at this place and saw this strange and bizarre curse, Professor Lin was an upright and soft-hearted person after all, and he was afraid that something really strange would affect us, so he said a bunch of inexplicable things and let us stop there.

But at this time, we listened to the content of the curse, according to the above, now the three of us are also cursed, so there is nothing to worry about, to be honest, I believe in curses, but I'm really not afraid of curses, I was born to be cursed by the face of ghosts, and now I don't live well?

After listening to Tofu, he said: "This Xu Fu is really not kind, when he arrived in Japan, he left behind the traditional virtues of hospitality of our Chinese, and actually cursed us, what eyes, what gates, I think it is fooling, Grandpa Dou is not the first time to fight, I am no longer the original 'green face', this little trick wants to scare me, no way." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, everyone suddenly heard a clicking sound in their ears, as if something heavy was rubbing against each other, everyone was an experienced veteran, wasn't this sound the sound we had pushed the stone gate before? The sound came from behind, and when I turned to look back, I suddenly realized that the stone door, which was the same as the fire path, had closed by itself just now.

I can't help but think of the last sentence: all doors to life will be closed.

Tofu was dumbfounded, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't say a word again. For a while, the whole tomb was silent, and the surrounding mercury, under the glow of the pearl, circulated with a faint silver light, and the backlit place was like a piece of black scales, flickering, and like a human blinking eye. It's probably because of the atmosphere.,In short, I don't feel right when I look at anything.。

Who closed the stone door?

Is it really because of the curse?

At that time, I was facing away from the stone gate, but several of the people were facing us, so they were facing the stone gate, so I asked them for verification, hoping to hear a reliable statement. Ji Qì No. 4 was speechless, and said for a long time: "I closed it myself, as if there was a pair of invisible hands pushing it...... Now what? ”

I also felt a mess in my mind for a while, and I couldn't help but say: "You are official thieves, think of some more official ways to come out." ”

A few of the people looked at each other, and the last one said, "Explode with explosives." ”

Tofu immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Good idea, at a critical moment, acting violently is necessary." ”

I said, "In that case, don't care how the door was closed, let's follow the original plan and look for the main tomb first." "There is only one road in front of us, the doorless arched passage on the other side, which is also blocked by mercury, and we need to use the same method to get to the other side. This time, it was still led by the four of them, but this time, when the people had just climbed to the top of the tomb, his figure suddenly paused, and then his head fell down, and his face with a gas mask made this posture very strange, as if he had something to say to us.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that Ji Qì Ren No. 1's eyes suddenly shrank, and then I realized that he was not looking at us, but at the bronze tripod next to us.

This bronze tripod is about two meters high, there is no cover on the tripod, we only think it is a ritual vessel, and we didn't pay attention to whether there is anything in the tripod before.
