"A place to raise corpses?" Lantern Xiao and I were both taken aback and asked in unison.

"That's right," the second uncle nodded and said, "The so-called place where corpses are raised is the place where the yin qi of an ancient tomb is the heaviest. The corpse does not decay here, and of course, because of this, the corpse placed here is prone to change. ”

"If this kind of place is so dangerous, why are you putting corpses here?" I asked, a little puzzled.

Yuan An replied: "An ancient tomb with good feng shui, there must be a treasure cave full of rui qi underground, and there must be a corpse place with extremely heavy yin qi correspondingly. Heaven and earth, yin and yang are harmonized, the tomb owner occupies the treasure cave, and another corpse must be placed in the corpse ground. Otherwise, if the corpse land is empty, there will be an imbalance between yin and yang, and in the long run, the corpse land will be occupied by yin and evil things, which is not good for the tomb owner and his descendants. ”

Lantern Xiao pointed to the dried corpse on the ground, "So you put it here?" ”

As soon as Lantern Xiao's question came out, the second uncle and Yuan An were silent, and Lantern Xiao was stunned, "What?" Is there a problem with what I said? ”

Yuan An waved his hand, "It's not, the main thing is that this dried corpse is a little strange." As he spoke, Yuan An pointed to the dried corpse on the ground, "You see, this corpse is very gorgeously dressed, even after such a long time, many parts have not decayed, enough to see the special and precious materials of these clothes, even," and looked at the immortal artifact that Lantern Xiao turned out of the dried corpse, "Even the funeral goods on the body are very valuable, so this person's identity must be very special." However, since he is such a noble person, he died and was violently corpsed here, which makes no sense whether it is from the Central Plains culture or the nomadic customs of the north. ”

Lantern Xiao put the artifact she touched into her bag and said, "Uncle An, I understand what you said, it's like a person wearing a suit and tie on the upper body, but bare-bottomed on the lower body, right?" ”

Yuan An smiled, "That's probably what it means, if this is a slave who accompanies the funeral, he won't be dressed in such luxurious clothes and jewelry, but if it's a person with a prominent status, he won't even have a coffin." There must be some reason behind this. ”

The second uncle nodded, "With such a strange pattern in the corpse raising ground, I'm afraid there will be danger here!" Then he turned to me and said, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible, so as not to get hit again." ”

"Okay," I agreed, and was about to leave with my second uncle, but I took two steps, and when I turned around, I found that Lantern Xiao and Yuan An had not followed.

Yuan An still stood with his hands in his hands, holding a flashlight, and carefully looked at the tomb, as if he had no intention of leaving. Lantern Xiao was embarrassed, stood in the middle and looked at us, and then looked at Yuan An, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

I pulled my second uncle's arm and motioned for him to look back. The second uncle looked back and saw Yuan An's attitude, and couldn't help frowning, "Ye An, it seems that you don't have any intention of leaving, it seems that you are going to find another way again?" ”

Yuan An smiled faintly, "Second Master Zhuo seems to be a little dissatisfied with what I did just now, in fact, that route is also the information I got by chance a few years ago, as for how much credibility and risk there is, I don't know, so I had to take the risk alone, without making a noise, just unwilling to implicate others." To be lucky to be here is also the favor of God. ”

The second uncle snorted coldly, "Master An, I'm not a two-year-old child, and I've been in this industry for decades, so don't say these words." I just want to ask you, are we working together or parting ways at this time? ”

Yuan An looked at the second uncle and said, "You and I are also considered to be the same family, and we have cooperated in private, so why talk about parting ways?" ”

Hearing Yuan An's words, I unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, although I don't like Yuan An as a person, but if only we break with Yuan An here, I'm afraid Lantern Festival will still follow Yuan An, after all, they were originally a group. In that case, only me and my second uncle are left, and if so, I'm really worried about the situation in the future.

Hearing Yuan An say this, the second uncle also sighed and said, "Then what do you think, let's hear it." ”

Yuan An nodded, "This ancient tomb is one of the most meticulous mechanisms I have ever seen, it can be said that it is interlocking, step by step traps, if we still follow the conventional route and the way of inverting the bucket, I am afraid it is still in the expectation of the tomb maker, we are still in passivity, and sooner or later we will be tricked." ”

When I heard Yuan An's words, I agreed very much in my heart, and it was really one of the few big soil rakes in the country, and his insights were really unique. It may not sound like an amazing point of view now, but it is really admirable to be able to have such an idea in such an environment and atmosphere.

I glanced at the second uncle, and the second uncle couldn't help but nodded, "What does Ye An mean?" Staying here just to find the Yin and Yang Road? ”

Yuan An laughed, and then nodded heavily, "The hero sees the same thing, I, Yuan An, really didn't see the wrong person, Second Master Zhuo is definitely the best in this generation." ”

I quietly asked the second uncle: "Second uncle, what is the Yin Yang Road?" ”

The second uncle told me that this yin and yang road is divided into two situations, the first is for the balance of yin and yang in the tomb, such a yin and yang road is connected to the treasure cave where feng shui gathers at one end, and the corpse raising place with extremely heavy yin qi at the other. The second refers to a secret passage from the main chamber to the outside. Throughout the ages, in the past few thousand years, many emperors and generals, although the main burial chamber in their tombs will be closed after the burial of the deceased, but from the psychological point of view of most people, it is the basic reaction of many people to reserve a way back. So many ancient tombs will have a passage around the main tomb door.

The famous Ming Tombs, the main burial chamber of many emperors' tombs, most of them will have a secret yin and yang road, some hidden in strong walls, and some hidden in the floor.

Therefore, Yuan An's intention of staying here is to hope to find this yin and yang path, so as to bypass some unnecessary troubles and go straight to the main tomb.

"But," I suddenly thought of a question, "this ancient tomb was closed and abandoned just after the construction was completed, and there was a fight here, I wonder if the craftsmen will have time to build this so-called Yin Yang Road?" ”

Yuan An nodded, "Brother Zhuo's words are also reasonable, but we can only be dead horses as live horse doctors at this time, it is our luck to find it, and if we can't find it, we can only accept our fate!" Yuan An's words are more pleasant, and I feel a little more comfortable.

"In that case, let's look around." The second uncle looked around as he spoke.

Lantern Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he was also worried about the situation just now. Seeing me look at him, Lantern Xiao also made a helpless grimace at me.

I know that Yuan An and the second uncle are afraid that they are just face to heart when they see each other, but this is not a relationship, it is enough to be able to face the current difficulties together for the time being, it doesn't matter if they can "stay together"!

Yuan An, Second Uncle, and I began to search the room for the so-called Yin Yang Road, while Lantern Xiao became interested in the dried corpse on the ground again, because he had just discovered that the front of the boot on the dried corpse's feet was inlaid with a gem the size of a quail egg.

Lantern Xiao squatted down, took out a short knife and pried it a few times, but did not pry. So he simply ripped off the dried corpse's boots. He cut through his boots with a knife and pulled out the gems.

I am quite dissatisfied with this behavior of the Lantern Festival, "Can you be civilized, even if it is an inverted bucket, can you pour a little morality, and the two cultural relics will be destroyed by you like this!" ”

Lantern Xiao gave me a blank look, "Zhuo Ran, when will you really understand your own identity?" You're a tomb robber, not a scientific expedition! ”

"What happened to the grave robbers?" I don't think so, "My grandfather once told my second uncle that you should pay respect when you go down to the grave. After all, we broke into the house of the owner of someone's tomb, stealing things is not counted, and destroying things is not a bit excessive! ”

Lantern Xiao shook her head gently, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I put my shoes on for this senior, no wonder!" As he spoke, Lantern Xiao picked up the two boots and planned to put them on the dry corpse again, but he held up one of the legs of the dried corpse and was about to put the boots on, and suddenly, Lantern Xiao's face changed, and then like an electric shock, he fell to the ground and ran to my side.

I was taken aback by his situation, and quickly drew the short knife, "What's wrong?" What was the situation with you? ”

Yuan An and the second uncle also walked over, "What's wrong?" ”

Lantern Xiao stammered: "That, the feet of the dried corpse, his feet ......"

"What happened to his feet?"

Lantern Xiao continued, "Then, that foot is like a human foot. ”

"Nonsense! That's a person, not a dog! ”

Lantern Xiao waved his hand again and again, "No, no, there is meat on your feet!" ”

"! If there is no meat, it is called a fork! We got a little impatient, "Can you get to the point!" ”

Lantern Xiao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't seem to know how to describe it, "You guys, go over and see for yourself!" ”

The three of us walked to the side of the dried corpse suspiciously, raised the flashlight in our hands, and shone it on the feet of the dried corpse, and immediately all of our faces changed so much that I almost felt like my hair was exploding.

Because, we saw an extremely strange phenomenon, the feet of the dried corpse did not dry up, but like a living person, it was a pair of elastic and shiny feet, and above the ankles, it gradually began to dry up until it completely became a dry corpse.

This is incredible, is this foot coated with preservative? But why is there no teaching to dry up?

We were all horrified by what we saw, and for a moment there were only four rapid breaths. Other than that, the silence of the burial chamber is terrifying.

After a long while, Yuan An suddenly said aloud: "This time I understand, this dry corpse, I'm afraid it doesn't belong here, he was moved here later, and the real identity of this dry corpse should be Xiongnu Shan Yu!" ”
