Chapter 10: The Ancient Tomb

Lu Yanqing and Song Yuanzhen searched all the way down the river, only to see that many small streams on both sides flowed into the river along the valley, making the river wider and wider and the water flow more and more turbulent.

After walking for half an hour, the two came to the halfway point of the back slope, but the river turned into a majestic waterfall here.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the bottom of the waterfall, the visual drop is nearly 100 meters, which is daunting.

"Under this waterfall, it shouldn't belong to the boundary of Chunxi Mountain, right?" Song Yuanzhen asked out loud.

Lu Yanqing bowed slightly when he heard this, "That's right, Yong'an County and Chengyang County are adjacent to each other, and they are bounded by Chunxi Mountain. ”

"Well, then we can only look for it along the creek."

With that, Song Yuanzhen turned around and left, and Lu Yanqing followed closely when he saw this.

But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed, and Lu Yanqing subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the river was dazzling in the sunlight, and the messy water waves reflected in the jungle on both sides, swaying with the turbulence.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yanqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and a similar situation immediately appeared!

"'Transparent but not shining, the water is full of waves!' I get it! I understand what these two words mean! ”

Lu Yanqing clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.

Song Yuanzhen, who was walking in front, hurriedly turned back when he heard this, and asked Lu Yanqing in a loud voice: "Oh? Where? ”

"Water Curtain Cave!" Lu Yanqing didn't sell it, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and said bluntly.

Song Yuanzhen frowned, and his face was puzzled, "What does this have to do with the Water Curtain Cave?" ”

"Confucian Master, let me sell a pass, and when you are in it, you will be able to understand the meaning of these two code words."

As he spoke, Lu Yanqing smiled kindly, then returned to the edge of the cliff, looked towards the gap between the waterfall and the cliff wall, and sure enough, he found a dark hole at the bottom of the cliff.

Without being stunned any longer, Lu Yanqing beckoned Song Yuanzhen to take a detour down the mountain and walk towards the bottom of the cliff.

Half an hour later, the two came to the bottom of the cliff.

Due to the perennial waterfall washed here, a huge pool has been formed, and the water curtain cave is behind this waterfall.

"Confucianism, how are you water?" Lu Yanqing asked aloud.

"Not bad." Song Yuanzhen replied lightly.

"In that case, let's swim over."

"Okay."

Lu Yanqing jumped into the water first and swam towards the place where the waterfall fell, followed by Song Yuanzhen.

This waterfall falls from a height of nearly 100 meters, and its power should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, there was a shortcut on the side, so that the two of them successfully came to the water curtain cave behind the waterfall.

"Confucian, do you think this situation coincides with those two secret words?" Lu Yanqing wiped the water droplets from his face with his hands, pulled Song Yuanzhen into the cave, and greeted Song Yuanzhen very excitedly.

After Song Yuanzhen got up, he suddenly woke up when he saw the situation in the cave.

The sunlight shining through the waterfall into the cave is indeed much softer;

The pool outside the waterfall is sparkling under the sunlight, and the refraction of light is reflected on the roof of the cave, which does have the artistic conception of "water waves in the sky".

"I see! I didn't expect that 'through but not shining, the water waves in the sky' is such a situation! Yanqing, how did you come up with it? ”

Song Yuanzhen asked Lu Yanqing in disbelief.

Lu Yanqing smiled humbly and replied: "I have seen a similar situation before, so I have this conjecture after seeing the reflection of the water waves. ”

This situation has appeared more than once in "Journey to the West", and Lu Yanqing is naturally impressed.

If you have never seen the situation in the Water Curtain Cave, it is indeed difficult to imagine it out of thin air.

The two wrung the water out of their clothes, and then walked towards the dark hole.

Although the wet clothes are very uncomfortable on the body, it is a little strange to not let the two big men run naked in this hole.

The deeper you go, the darker it becomes.

Fortunately, Song Yuanzhen had a fire fold that he carried with him, which was wrapped in oil paper and had a certain degree of water barrier, so it was not extinguished.

The two of them made two torches, and with the help of this fire, they continued deeper into the cave.

After walking for a quarter of an hour or so, the two of them came to the end of the cave, and what caught their eyes was an arched stone door carved with Confucian patterns, which shocked the two of them, and it seemed that they had come to the right place!

Lu Yanqing cautiously came to the door so as not to trigger the mechanism.

On both sides of the stone gate, there is a gluttonous style of the first and auxiliary rings, and the gate railing is engraved with the totem of the heavenly gate.

The fifth of the nine sons of the dragon, the gluttonous beast was a vicious and gluttonous beast that placed its ring on the door to ward off evil spirits and avoid filth;

The Gate of Heaven refers to the place where the soul rests after death.

If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be a tomb gate!

Song Yuanzhen also discovered this, and he was much more familiar with the conjectures represented by gluttony and Tianmen than Lu Yanqing.

Could it be that this is really the mausoleum of Xiao Jin Confucianism?

Song Yuanzhen couldn't wait to enter one of them to find out, and after discussing it with Lu Yanqing, the two decided to work together to open the tomb door.

But the tomb door was so heavy that the two of them couldn't shake it.

Fortunately, both of them are Confucian cultivators, and with the blessing of Confucianism, the strength of the two has suddenly improved significantly.

What's more, Lu Yanqing is a real Confucian saint, and the Confucianism he exerts has fifteen out of ten blessings on his strength.

With the blessing of Confucianism, the two of them used their strength to eat milk and finally pushed open a gap in the tomb door, and the two of them should be able to squeeze into it with their stomachs.

Just when Song Yuanzhen was about to enter it, Lu Yanqing hurriedly dragged him back.

"Yanqing, why don't you let me in?" Song Yuanzhen frowned and asked suspiciously.

Lu Yanqing didn't rush to explain, but directly threw the torch in his hand into it, only to see that the torch was extinguished instantly after it landed, and only a little spark barely flickered crimson in the darkness.

"The air inside is very thin, and it is easy to suffocate if you enter it rashly." Lu Yanqing reminded loudly.

Song Yuanzhen looked at the extinguished torch and couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and then said with a little suspicion: "Yanqing, you seem to be very experienced in this matter." ”

Lu Yanqing smiled, do you really read it in vain for me to brush up on "Tomb Robbery Notes"?

"Yongan County is surrounded by mountains, among which there are many feng shui treasures; Ge Zhutou and I have assisted the imperial court in digging ancient tombs, so naturally we have some experience. ”

Lu Yanqing said nonsense, and Song Yuanzhen nodded suspiciously when he heard this.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, the rotten gas in the tomb had basically dissipated, and the air from the outside world had been poured into it, and the two of them entered with peace of mind.

The two stepped into the tomb with their front feet, and three figures walked out from the corner with their back feet, and they came to the tomb door lightly, listening to the movement inside the door through the gap.

"Big brother, since we have already found the ancient tomb, why is it useful for us to keep these two people? It's better to kill it directly, no one will know that we did it anyway. ”

Seeing that Lu Yanqing and Song Yuanzhen took the first step, Scarface was very anxious, for fear that the two of them would run away with all the treasures.

Hearing this, Li Hongqiang shook his head helplessly.

My three brothers are good, but their brains are not enough; If someone else had been so reluctant beside him, Li Hongqiang would have slapped him a long time ago.

"Are you stupid? This ancient tomb is unpredictable, it is very likely that there is a hidden mechanism, and it is very dangerous to enter rashly, so naturally let them explore the way ahead! ”

Seeing that Li Hongqiang was silent, the thin monkey explained to Scarface.

"Wouldn't it be the same to arrest them and force them to lead the way?"

Scarface said very unconvinced, this is to stop the self-proclaimed smart skinny monkey, and he can't speak, I have to say that Scarface is reasonable.

"That's too risky, and if we're not careful, we're likely to be buried with them, so it's safer to follow them from a distance."

Li Hongqiang whispered his intentions, but his ears kept attached to the crack in the door to listen to the movement in the tomb.

"I see, it's still the pattern of the big brother!"

"Big brother's pattern is high!"

This thin monkey's sycophant kung fu can be described as first-class, and the scarred face with a tendon can only follow the thin monkey to drink two oils.

"Confucianism, I found a jade pendant!"

Hearing the movement in the tomb, Li Hongqiang whispered softly to let the two of them be quiet, and hurriedly listened attentively.

At this time, Lu Yanqing looked at the jade pendant hanging on the wall, and greeted Song Yuanzhen who was not far away.

This jade pendant is also engraved with Confucian patterns, which should be worn by the tomb owner during his lifetime.

Hearing this, Song Yuanzhen hurriedly came to Lu Yanqing's side and carefully looked at the jade pendant.

But the Confucian pattern is too rare to be recognized, and Song Yuanzhen can't see what the purpose of the Confucian pattern on it is.

"Yanqing, you retreat farther away, let me take off this jade pendant; If something is out of the blue, remember to bless me with Confucianism. ”

Song Yuanzhen said solemnly, Lu Yanqing nodded and retreated a few meters away.

Without being stunned any longer, Song Yuanzhen carefully took the jade pendant off the wall, but fortunately it did not touch the mechanism, which made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"This jade pendant is carved from fine nephrite jade, and it can be sold for twenty or thirty taels of silver."

Song Yuanzhen's words made Lu Yanqing slightly stunned, "Huh...... Confucianism, are you planning to sell this jade pendant? ”

"Of course, otherwise what's the use of you and me keeping this jade pendant?"

Hearing this, Song Yuanzhen's tall image in Lu Yanqing's heart collapsed instantly, I didn't expect this Song Yuanzhen to be able to do such a thing, but this was very much in line with Lu Yanqing's mind.

Lu Yanqing came with the purpose of treasure hunting, but in front of Song Yuanzhen, a respected Confucian teacher, Lu Yanqing was not very easy to express what he thought; After all, the act of robbing the tomb was too despicable and insulting, and Lu Yanqing was afraid that he would be opposed by Song Yuanzhen.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuanzhen coincided with his own thoughts, which made Lu Yanqing smile.

Song Yuanzhen seemed to see through Lu Yanqing's thoughts, and taught softly in a serious voice:

"Yan Qing, looking at the problem from different angles, the results obtained are not the same; Instead of letting this jade pendant sleep here, it is better to take this jade pendant outside to play its due value; The Confucian patterns on this are so complicated, maybe it can help the study of Confucian patterns. ”

"What the Confucian master said is very true, the kid has been taught."

Although Song Yuanzhen's words are suspected of excusing this behavior, there is indeed some truth.

"In this case, Confucian, let's bring these ancient coins on the ground, these ancient coins are also of great help to the historical research of hundreds of years ago."

Lu Yanqing put what he had learned into practice, and suggested in a warm voice, and Song Yuanzhen nodded in agreement.

But at this moment, a sound of unhurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the dark tomb, which made the two of them suddenly shocked......
