Chapter 53: Huangquan Road

When I was looking for the way, I went with the big head, so he was more familiar here than I did. The big head walked in front of me, and the water in the cemetery outside did not reach the surface of my feet, and my clothes were already soaked, and now they were glued to my body, and I always felt very uncomfortable.

"Qiangzi, what did you have a good dream just now, and you are still laughing when you fall asleep." The big head turned to me as he walked forward. I was stunned, thinking that I hadn't dreamed anything since I fell asleep, but how could I laugh.

"It's nothing, it's just a dream of eating." I casually made an excuse to deal with the big head's questioning. But after I said it, I realized that I was really a little hungry, and now I really want to go out and have a big bowl of hot dry noodles, put more chili bean sprouts, and eat it is called a cool.

After listening to me talk about food, the big head stopped talking, probably remembering to eat the same thing as me. We just walked forward, with the big head in front of us to confirm the bearing, and I followed behind him.

After walking for a short time, the big head pointed to a stone door in front of him and said, "Qiangzi, the exit is in front, we have checked it, there are no traps there." ”

I walked to the front of the stone gate and looked at it, turned around and looked at Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye behind me, only to see that both of them nodded slightly, confirming that there was nothing wrong with the stone gate.

As long as there is no problem with Shimen, then it will be much easier. Because Zheng Wenhe crooked his mouth and carried Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng behind his back, this tomb was full of water, and there was no way to put it down, so I and the three of us came to find the mechanism to open the stone gate.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to find it. I pressed my hand on the switch, motioning for the big head and the big group to take a few steps back, and then I pressed the switch with the palm of my hand.

The stone door slowly rose, revealing the black hole in the tomb, and a rancid smell came out, and I almost vomited on the ground with a choking.

The big heads and big masses in the back were also smoked by the rancid smell. When the smell had evaporated for a while, and I could bear it, we began to enter the stone gate.

After entering the stone gate, the tomb can not be seen directly, but walked about ten meters away like a tomb road, and the space suddenly increased, about the size of a basketball hall. reminds me of the famous sentence in Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", "At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, only to understand people, revival dozens of steps, and suddenly enlightened." "The pattern here is not much different from what Tao Yuanming said.

The center of the burial chamber. It's a big pool again, and there are flowers blooming in the pool, and under the light of the flashlight, it looks quite charming, and I don't know what kind of flowers it is.

"It's a mandala flower, and there's this thing here." When he saw the flowers in the pool, Kong Sanye couldn't help but exclaim, and Uncle Zheng on Zheng Wen's back almost exclaimed.

The mandala flower may not be familiar to some people, but another name is well-known, that is, the other side flower. It is rumored that the flowers bloom for a thousand years, the flowers fall for a thousand years, there are leaves without flowers, there are flowers without leaves, the flowers and leaves are wrong, open on the bank of the Yellow Spring, but by the bridge, it is the only flower on the Yellow Spring Road.

I didn't expect this legendary flower to appear here, and it seems that the next road is destined to be not smooth. Just now, I was only attracted by the flower, and all the flashlight light shone on the flower.

Now that the flashlight shines around again, I realize that there are more than just flowers here. In the pool, the water is muddy yellow, and there is a bridge next to the pool, and the stone tablet next to the bridge is engraved with the word "Naihe" in italics.

Seeing this "Naihe" son, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, I didn't expect that there are not only flowers on the other side, but also "Nai He Bridge", is the yellow water in this pool represents the yellow spring?

Could it be that there are still Sansheng stones in the Yellow Spring, and there is still Meng Po next to the "Nai He Bridge" who hands people soup to drink? I looked into the pool with my flashlight, and I noticed something different, there was a rockery in the pool, which looked very large.

The big head looked at my flashlight and shone it over, so he also shone his own flashlight, looked at the words on the stone rockery, and was also frightened, and read it out loud: "Sansheng Stone," although the big head is not very literate, but these three words are too simple, and children who have just read and read can know it.

Have we come to the Yellow Springs Road? The flowers on the other side, the bridge, the Sansheng stone, and the yellow water in the pool, are similar to the legendary Huangquan Road.

"Third Master Kong, Uncle Zheng, take a look here, is there anything wrong?" Seeing this scene, I muttered in my heart, and now I can only rely on these two experienced veterans to show it.

Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng glanced at each other, and at this time they let go of their prejudices and stopped arguing with each other. Instead, the face was solemn like never before.

Seeing that Kong Sanye nodded to Uncle Zheng, he didn't mean to speak, Uncle Zheng said: "Ye Qiang, this may be the legendary Huangquan Road, but it's not the one you think, but the one recorded in the book."

Uncle Zheng wrote it in the book for a while, but it wasn't what he thought for a while, which made us all a little confused. I motioned for Zheng Wenhe to put down Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng with a crooked mouth, and let them sit against the wall first. The terrain inside is a little higher than the outside, so it's still relatively dry, and there is no water soaking inside.

Let Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng sit here, it can also just liberate Zheng Wenhe's crooked mouth, let them pay attention to the surrounding environment at any time, and it is still good to cover up.

"Uncle Zheng, what do you mean by Huangquan Road?" The Huangquan Road that Uncle Zheng said was a bit tongue-twisting, so I couldn't help but ask. The big head and the big group next to them also looked at Uncle Zheng with a nervous face, just imagine, who suddenly walked to Huangquan Road, would not be afraid.

Uncle Zheng leaned against the wall and sat in a more comfortable position before he began to speak: "Huangquan Road, in Chinese mythology, refers to the path taken by people when they go to hell after death. When ordinary people die, their souls are escorted back to hell by black and white impermanence, and it is up to the king of Yama in the underworld to determine what to do with them. ”

In fact, in some TV works, there will also be Huangquan Road, such as the very classic "The Legend of the New White Lady", Xu Xian was scared to death by the White Lady turning into a snake, and was taken on Huangquan Road by black and white impermanence, so there is a story of the White Lady robbing Xu Xian.

Uncle Zheng continued: "And the Huangquan Road where we are now is not the one in the myth, but another. Legend has it that Wang Xuanling, a feng shui master of the Tang and Song dynasties, had the ability to share yin and yang, and could travel back and forth on Huangquan Road. Therefore, at that time, many families, royal relatives and noble relatives vied with each other to ask Wang Xuanling to design the mausoleum in order not to destroy the tomb after their death. ”

Wang Xuanling back then was a smash hit, from the true dragon to the ordinary people. And Uncle Zheng said that there is a secret record in the book, and the reason why the emperor liked Wang Xuanling at that time also had another meaning, helping him refine the elixir of immortality.

But it didn't take long for Princess Tongchang to dream that Concubine Pan Shu of Nanqi came to ask for Jiuluan Hairpin, and the next year afterward, Princess Tongchang died. At that time, the emperor loved the daughter of Princess Tongchang very much, and knew that Wang Xuanling knew yin and yang and could travel to and from Huangquan Road, so he ordered this mausoleum to be designed by Wang Xuanling.

The emperor also wanted Princess Tongchang to be able to travel to and from Huangquan Road like Wang Xuanling. Therefore, in the tomb of Princess Tongchang, Wang Xuanling designed this Huangquan Road according to various rumors about Huangquan Road.

These things are not recorded in the history books at all, as for why Uncle Zheng knows, I am not curious at all now, who made the family belong to the Zheng family in Xingyang, and it was still one of the relatively large families in the Tang Dynasty, so it is not surprising that there are secrets of these things.

"Uncle Zheng, do you think there will be danger on this Huangquan Road, and there will be Meng Po by the bridge?" As for Meng Po on the side of the bridge, I just asked casually if there is any danger on this Huangquan Road, which is the most important thing we need to pay attention to now.

Now Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng are injured and need to be carried on their backs. Therefore, if Crooked Mouth and Zheng Wen carry Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng behind their backs, then we will be equivalent to weakening the strength of the two of them, and our ability to deal with danger will drop by several grades.

After I finished asking, Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye both glanced towards the Nai He Bridge. Then Uncle Zheng turned to me and said, "Huangquan Road is not very dangerous, the key is that the Sansheng Stone and the Mandala Flower, will there be any problems?" ”

"What could go wrong?" I looked at Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng and asked. But this time Uncle Zheng didn't speak, but stroked his goatee and looked at Kong Sanye, who was talking beside him.

"The three-life stone is a symbol of love for life, and the three-life refers to the previous life, this life and the next life. And the Sansheng Stone here looks a little strange, and there may be some confusing things on it, which will definitely not be true, but people who are not strong in heart are likely to believe it. Kong Sanye also changed his posture and continued to say to us:

And the mandala flower can't be the other side flower on Huangquan Road, because the other side flower can only grow in that environment. Moreover, it is rumored that the mandala flower is highly poisonous, and inhaling pollen may cause people to hallucinate and do some irrational behavior. ”

After hearing what Kong Sanye said, I also began to be a little confused. This Huangquan Road, do we take it or not, do we cross this bridge or not?

"Third Master Kong, Uncle Zheng, how can there be any danger behind Huangquan Road?" Although he was a little worried about Huangquan Road, Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng spoke in a very relaxed tone, and it seemed that it should not be a big deal. So the next journey is the biggest problem.

Kong Sanye sighed, shook his head and said to me and the others who were watching him: "The next journey may be more arduous and even more dangerous. ”

I didn't understand why Kong Sanye knew, so I simply asked him directly, "Why?" ”

He turned around, stared at me, and said word by word: "Because Huangquan Road has passed, it is equivalent to walking to the underworld." Wouldn't it be dangerous, you say? ”

The title of Netherworld seems a little out of reach to those of us, but when it comes to a real threat, it still feels a little eerie. Besides, by listening to the name of the Netherworld, you can know how difficult the next journey will be.

"Then are we going to go or not going to go?" I didn't speak, this time it was Datuan who spoke, and when I heard the words of the Netherworld, my body obviously shrank back. It seems that I'm still more scared, this place in the Netherworld. But whoever you leave it on will be scared.
