Chapter 524: The Black Sea

"Daughter, there is an old saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the loss of ancient technology is not necessarily the disappearance of skills, it may also be that all the objects needed for skills have not been collected, or even disappeared."

"You mean, I can't find anything anymore!"

Song Siyuan listened to the meaning of Second Uncle Yue's words and guessed the deep meaning of his words.

Yue Qingshan nodded at her: "That's right, the Han and Tang dynasties liked to build high-rise buildings, and they also used thousand-year-old giant wood, just one piece of wood can withstand the wooden beams of the whole house in later generations, the materials are extravagant, and the building looks towering and domineering." ”

"However, from the beginning of the Song Dynasty to the Zhu Ming Dynasty, the thousand-year-old wood has been almost consumed, after the brick-burning technology matures, there is no longer a need for heavy rammed earth walls, the building materials have also been innovated, the area of the house has been reduced little by little, and some of the skills of building high-rise mansions have gradually been lost in this process, so that in this era, civilians can only build low-rise tile houses, even if it is the building of the imperial palace, it is much smaller than the Han and Tang imperial palaces."

Song Siyuan listened to Second Uncle Yue's words, and already understood the deep meaning of his words, and asked in a mysterious tone: "What do you mean, the innovation of construction technology actually affects the tomb?" ”

Yue Qingshan nodded and sighed: "Yes, there are three sects and nine streams in the Golden Rat Club, and there are carpenters who go down to the tomb with us, the tombs of the nobles in the pre-Qin period are no different from the city, and the tomb area in the Han and Tang dynasties is also the size of a palace, and in the former Zhu Ming Dynasty, there are only a few tomb caves left, and there are few tombs that are directly compared to the palace." ”

"If you think about it, even the tombs of the nobles are shrinking, and the tombs used by the common people who have no financial resources will only be smaller and more shabby."

"Old-fashioned, there is something difficult to build in a high house, and then you can find the drawings."

As soon as Ren Peacock's voice fell, he already saw Yue Qingshan shake his head: "The skills of the ancients are all passed down from generation to son, some skills are still secret, many skills have been lost to the next generation, and some skills have long disappeared because they are out of business." ”

"If you want to preserve the skills, you can only use the drawings to draw the techniques and preserve, the Han and Tang dynasties did have someone to collect architectural styles, but in the later period of the two Song and Zhu Ming dynasties, after several foreign domination, some things were deliberately destroyed, scattered into a book, and they have long been unusable."

Song Siyuan listened to the old man's words, and if she thought about it carefully, she could understand that this was the case, King Haidong was only a small country, and the area of his tomb was not small, and the specifications and area of the Soul Palace of the Tang Dynasty were bound to be wider.

What this old man saw from the tomb must be more realistic and cold than what was on the ground!

Yue Qingshan glanced down at the keel bridge: "A big tomb keel bridge like this is also the ancestral tomb of the Han and Tang families, and in other places, it is rare to break a leg." ”

"Isn't it water down here?"

Yue Erpao stood by the fence, leaning on the railing of the copper bridge and looking under the bridge, after the gray fog dissipated, the underground river below the bridge pier was clearly visible.

Black, so black!

The underground waterfall is still the normal color of water when it erupts from the cracks of the cliff, and once it enters the river valley, it immediately changes, as if the river valley is flowing not with underground water, but with black and shiny ink!

"How can the river be black?"

Yue Erpao thought he was dazzled, and looked at the abyss water source with a flashlight, and it could be seen that the water surface was dark not because there was no light.

"Blackwater? It's not the Styx! ”

The words that appeared in Ren Peacock's mouth, they had never heard before, Song Siyuan looked back and asked, "Sister Ren, what is the Evil Luo Stygian Sea?" ”

"This is the legend of the ancestors of Gu Chu!"

Ren Peacock pointed to the black water, his tone became mysterious, and he introduced the Evil Luo Stygian Sea.

The so-called Evil Luo Stygian Sea is the legend of the ancient Chu ancestors, just like the Huangquan Nai River in the Han Land, it is a bridge that the dead must cross.

When the people die, when their luck returns to the hidden capital, the first thing to pass is the Evil Luo Styx Sea, these souls that carry the luck of the body, all the evil and degenerate, cause and effect on the body, will be absorbed and purified by the Evil Luo Styx Sea, and when they go ashore from the Stygian Sea, they have already gone to see the old god of Qinling with their innocent luck.

For fear that these souls of luck will lie and falsify, the old gods will extract their merits and demerits from the Evil Luo Styx Sea, so as to level the rewards and punishments, it can be said that the Evil Luo Styx Sea gathers all the evil and good deeds of the ancient Chu soul, and the river water has been soaked in the soul for many years and has become black and shiny, and mortals can remember thousands of karmic past events as long as they take a sip.

"If you want to enter the secluded capital, you must wade through the Evil Luo Stygian Sea, which is the rule left by the ancestors of ancient Chu."

After Ren Peacock finished speaking, Song Siyuan looked at the black water again, the turbulent black sea didn't know how many evil things it had absorbed, and it would become dark.

"I've heard the old man mention this in the Dragon Gate Formation, but I haven't taken it seriously, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, but I don't know what this black water is."

Yue Guanchao and the others saw a few people stop, and thought that the situation had changed, so they ran back in place and gradually joined the crowd.

"Yue Guanchao, look at the black water under the bridge."
