636
Xiang Fei and I got bigger, and the original Shu people were not only unattained in digging graves and robbing tombs, but they were also so bold that they dared to dig anything, and they dared to move.
They dug up such a large sarcophagus from the ground, and I really don't know how they got here.
The headless giant corpse stood there, as if it was very confused, which made me and Xiang Fei relax a little, it is estimated that there is no head, it has no mind at all, and the body has come to life completely because it is no longer able to be summarized by people.
Then the giant corpse moved again, turned to us, as if looking at us, and immediately made us both tremble, although it had no head, we clearly felt a pair of cold eyes watching us.
"Have humans become so weak?" Suddenly, a voice came from its body.
Xiang Fei and I were dumbfounded, this is too illusory, the headless corpse can still speak? Could this really be the demon of myths and legends?
The headless corpse stood there, as if talking to himself, "Times have changed, have even the heavens and the earth changed?" Are all the original people dead? Or did you go somewhere else? ”
"Alas, the loneliness of an era, the extreme prosperity and finally to destruction, I should have died, but there is a trace of obsession left in the world..... I didn't think that human beings are so weak now, maybe this is the rule of heaven and earth! ”
The headless corpse seemed to be looking up at the sky, then sighed heavily, and then lay back in the sarcophagus under our blank gaze, and sank into the ground with a 'boom' sound.
A big hole appeared under the burial pit, and it was pitch black below, and I didn't know how deep it was, Xiang Fei and I were like a dream.
It took a long time to recover, and now our hearts can be described as turbulent, judging from the words of the headless giant corpse just now, the ancient mythological era really existed, or there was another mythical era that disappeared.
"Things are getting more and more complicated!" We both sighed that now that it was okay here, we would go out.
Professor Zhang was waiting outside, and when they saw us coming out, they all showed joy, "It should be okay inside, right?" ”
"No, you can go in and continue digging."
Go back and tidy up your things, it's not too early now, and you can only go to the crystal coffin again tomorrow.
The place to stay, Professor Zhang and they have already arranged, we went in to take a shower, and were about to go out to find a place to eat, but I didn't expect Professor Zhang to come again.
Looking at his hurried appearance, something must have happened, "Two masters, it's not good, it's haunted inside."
"Haunted?"
"Yes, as soon as you left, it was haunted and scared the hell out of us," Professor Zhang said breathlessly.
"How is this possible, the burial pit has been inspected by us, and it will not be haunted."
"It's not there, it's another excavation site, where a stone temple has been dug up, and as soon as our archaeological team enters, it is haunted, and one of them is inexplicably crazy, and the other is stupid."
"A stone hall", I was shocked in my heart, vaguely felt something, and hurriedly rushed over with Xiang Fei and Professor Zhang.
Sanxingdui is very large, do fall on the Minjiang River estuary, the area excavated so far is only half of the appearance, and there are still many places in the central area that have not been excavated.
I followed Professor Zhang to the central area and came to a place where the excavation had just begun, where the archaeological team found the entrance to the stone hall, which I thought was an ancient tomb, but I didn't expect to go in along the passage and found that it was a stone hall.
As soon as they entered, something haunted happened, and now the archaeological team is afraid to go in, so Professor Zhang let us take a look.
Xiang Fei and I walked down, squatted at the entrance of the passage and looked, I took out a talisman and recited the Yin and Yang Law Decision, and hit in.
The news of the Dao Fu was silent, and Xiang Fei and I both became solemn.
One hundred and thirty-eight ghost thousand hands
Then I took out another Dao talisman, and the two of us recited the Fa together and entered it again.
The Dao Fu turned into a yellow light and flew in, and disappeared in an instant, but a yin wind blew out.
I picked up a piece of dirt at the entrance with my hand, it felt very cold, and then put it on the Dao Talisman, and I saw that the Dao Talisman burned on its own.
"There's a terrible place down here," I whispered.
Xiang Fei also nodded, "It is indeed a fierce place, there are powerful ghosts that have become climates, presumably the stone hall below is the important place of ancient Shu."
I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the photo that Boss Zhao showed me a few days ago was also taken in a stone hall, "Could it be here?" After all, Sanxingdui was also discovered in the early years of the Republic of China, and now we already know that Sanxingdui has been stolen a long time ago. ”
We found this place, but now we won't go in, we don't bring what we need, and if we go in hastily, we will probably be in danger.
Then we arranged a yin and yang magic circle outside the entrance, ready to wait for us to go to the crystal coffin, before we came to think of a way, if the situation is serious, it is estimated that we will have to go home to get the magic weapon, and call Uncle Liu from Hunan and them.
Told Professor Zhang about the situation, of course they agreed, and now it is haunted, this is what they have seen with their own eyes, and they have to believe it.
Go back to eat, ready to go out for a casual stroll, just sleep, Sanxingdui here, because it is a tourist destination, close to the city, coupled with the development in recent years, there is still some excitement here.
Xiang Fei and I went out for a casual walk, after all, we are from the countryside, and we are inevitably a little curious in this city.
I heard Professor Zhang say that there is a special 'Taobao' street near here, which is actually a place to buy and sell antiques.
We went to this street to see if there was anything good here, and of course we didn't really go to 'Taobao', just to see.
Even at night, this street is very lively, and most of the people who come and go are tourists, many of whom want to find 'treasures' here, but most of them are fooled.
We walked around here, passed by a street stall, and saw a lot of tourists gathered here, and a middle-aged man was selling his 'antiques' to tourists.
It is said to be an antique, but most people understand that it is just a fake, but the price is not expensive, and it is okay to buy a few pieces and put them at home and make a show.
When we got closer, we saw that the stalls were filled with some very ordinary things, and of course this was for us.
There are copper coins, some counterfeit bronzes, and some things to ward off evil spirits.
The middle-aged man was talking endlessly, and his saliva was splashing, and suddenly many tourists were moved and began to bargain.
smiled helplessly, although the middle-aged man's things were not first-class, his mouth and kung fu could be regarded as first-class.
After a while, several pieces were sold, but the others behind were unmoved, and someone in the crowd said: "You have more of these things on this street, they are all fakes, and you have the ability to get a real guy out."
Other tourists also chimed in, "You have these things for a long time, and they are not interesting."
"That is, if you have the ability to get a real guy out, as long as it is genuine, I will buy it no matter how expensive it is."
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, nodded, and then showed a mysterious smile, "Everyone, don't hide it, the real guy does have it, but I don't know if you dare to buy it?" ”
"You can just take it out, we can afford the price", someone began to coax.
"This person has some doorways," Xiang Fei said suddenly.
"How?"
"Did you notice his hands?"
Hearing Xiang Fei say this, I immediately looked at the middle-aged man's hand, there is nothing in his right hand, but his left hand has an extra finger, which is what we usually call six fingers, which is a mild and rugged shape, ordinary people think that this extra finger is useless, but for the tomb robbery industry, the six fingers can be described as unique, and there are more advantages than normal people, and I don't know the specifics, I have heard Hei Ye say before that the six-fingered people can play an unexpected role in some organs in the ancient tomb, and it is said that the deduction of gossip is also.
"If you look at his fingers again, they are slender and flexible, and his nails are smoothed, so he is obviously not an idle person."
Nodding, I understood, the middle-aged man who was setting up a stall in front of me must be on the road, he had stolen the ancient tomb, and there must be a real guy in his hands.
Xiang Fei and I didn't look at each other, and continued to watch the excitement on the side.
At this time, the middle-aged man looked around and made a mysterious look, "It just so happens that I have a real guy in me, but I don't know if you dare to buy it, let's show it to everyone first!" ”
After saying that, he took out a cloth bag from the wooden box under his buttocks, and when he opened the cloth bag, there was a piece of animal skin paper, but it seemed that it was very mutilated, and it seemed to have been torn off.
He unfolded the vellum paper, and could clearly see that it was covered with ancient words.
Xiang Fei and I were surprised, these ancient words are clearly the words in the Shu tomb, the kind in Sanxingdui, Xiang Fei doesn't know, these ancient words are likely to be the words of the ancient mythological era, recording the law of becoming immortals.
"It's just a tattered piece of parchment, and I thought it was a good thing, and it was useless to buy it," said the tourists around.
"Even a piece of broken paper wants to fool us, when we are fools?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said lightly: "Don't underestimate this broken paper, this is something with a history of thousands of years, do you know the origin of Sanxingdui?" This paper is from that time, and the text on it is the ancient Shu script, which can record the shocking secrets of ancient Shu, if I don't understand it, I won't take it out and sell it."
"What's the shocking secret, you can tell me."
"Ahem, I can't say this, I guess you've all heard ancient myths and legends, right? Hehe, it's very likely that the text on this is a record of the secrets of the ancient mythological era, maybe it is the magic power of the mythological characters."
"Brag, you, it's just a legend, who can take it seriously, according to what you say, those immortals really exist, what kind of international jokes, it's really laughing to death, no real guy can't use such a broken piece of paper to deceive us."
"A liar, don't buy it, don't buy his stuff anymore."
The crowd began to heckle, and then dispersed one after another.
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, and began to close the stall, I looked at Xiang Fei, and walked up together.
"We're interested in your torn paper, and we want to buy it, I wonder if we can take a look at it first?" Xiang Fei said.
The middle-aged man looked up at us, "Do you really want to buy it?" ”
"Really, but we want to know, do you have anything else on this paper?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "No, that's all, if you want to buy it, I'll sell it to you."
As he spoke, he handed the torn paper to Xiang Fei.
Xiang Fei looked at it and nodded to me, "It is indeed an ancient Shu script, not a fake."
"Hehe", the middle-aged man smiled, "It seems that the two of you are real people, so I won't say more, if you want to buy it, can you look at this number?" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of eight.
"How many, eight thousand?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "Eighty thousand."
"Eighty thousand, you're asking too much, right?"
"Anyway, it's 80,000, do you like to buy it", the middle-aged man replied very simply.
Xiang Fei smiled, "Being able to enter the Shu tomb and steal things out, it seems that you are not ordinary little thieves, Ming people don't do dark things, such things are useful to us, but your price is too high, we can't agree."
"Eighty thousand is eighty thousand, and if you don't sell it", the middle-aged man's attitude looked very resolute.
But seeing that Xiang Fei still looked calm, he stretched out his hand and made a strange gesture, and suddenly the middle-aged man's face changed greatly, and his attitude instantly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, "It turned out that the seniors arrived, and the little ones have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, please forgive the seniors", the middle-aged man smiled.
I was taken aback, secretly surprised in my heart, and became more and more unable to see through Xiang Fei.
Xiang Fei waved his hand, "Take us to meet your boss."
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, made a gesture of please, and took the lead into an alley and into an antique shop.
This antique shop is of a modest size, and there is nothing unusual about it from the outside.
The middle-aged man asked us to wait in the hall for a while, and went upstairs by himself, and after a while, he saw a half-hundred-year-old man walking down with him.
"When the distinguished guest comes, please forgive me for missing the welcome", the old man's loud voice sounded, and he hugged his fist at us.
Beckoned to sit down, the middle-aged man hurriedly closed the door of the store, his eyes swept over the old man, and he couldn't see his real age, although his hair was half white, but there was no sign of aging in his complexion.
"This person is not simple", this is my impression of him.
The two sides made a brief introduction, and it turned out that this person's name was Zhao Tiangong, and he was an old man.
Xiang Fei was surprised, "It turned out to be the 'ghost thousand hands' called by the people in the rivers and lakes, and I have admired it for a long time."
"Haha, it's easy to say, that's all in the past, I've been washing my hands for many years, and I've opened a small shop here to live. I wonder what is the important matter for the two of you to come to me this time? ”
Xiang Fei directly explained the intention, "That piece of animal skin paper has a very important homework for us, and we want to get it."
Ghost Thousand Hands Zhao Tiangong's face sank, thought for a moment, and said: "You need it, of course I agree, just tell you the truth, this piece of animal skin paper is not ours, we are just entrusted to sell it for a price."
"Oh, who's that?"
Ghost Qianshou shook his head, "We don't know the specifics, this piece of animal skin paper was given to us by the other party through my apprentice, and the other party is very mysterious, as if he doesn't want us to inquire about his details."
Things have developed to the present, and now we can't say anything anymore, the original owner of the vellum paper is not him, it's hard to talk about it.
"Well, I'll see if I can contact you and let you talk to each other in person."
"Well, that's not bad, then it's troublesome Brother Zhao, let's wait for news," Xiang Fei said.
Then we will say goodbye and leave, go back and rest early, and tomorrow we will have to start busy, and I don't know if it will go well in the crystal coffin.
One hundred and thirty-nine, the black master reappeared
Early in the morning of the second day, the two of us prepared our things and went straight to the crystal coffin, for the sake of insurance, this time we brought all the guys, just like entering the Shu tomb before.
Directly to the watchtower.,This time I came in the same as last time.,There is no abnormal situation.,Anyway, it's surprisingly quiet.,It's always a little unaccustomed.。
Slowly groped up the watchtower, towards the destination, and when I arrived at the place, I used a flashlight, and was suddenly surprised, the symbols and numbers engraved on the stone slab were gone, and the entire stone slab was smoothed.
Thinking that I was wrong, I looked around again, and there was no mistake, the slate was indeed destroyed, who could it be?
I looked at Xiang Fei, his face was also difficult to look at, it was obvious that there must be something wrong with this, either there was an inner ghost, or someone was following us, obviously the things engraved on the stone slab were very important, and they had a great connection with the events of the year, and even the clues of the inner ghost had been revealed.
And now someone has taken the lead and destroyed the slate, and the important clues have been destroyed, and we have run for nothing.
But I wondered in my heart, it was me and Xiang Fei who came in last time, and the things on this slate were the first to be discovered by us, and no one else knew, even if it was already known, why wait for us to find out and then destroy it, isn't this a big move?
"What do you think?" Xiang Fei asked suddenly.
"What can you think, the people who know this place, it's just the two of us, but it can't be the two of us, maybe someone is following us!"
Xiang Fei nodded, "Who could it be?" It is very dangerous for this person to be able to follow us without knowing it."
I squatted down and checked that it was a slate, hoping to get a clue on it, and looked at it, the slate must have been destroyed by something like iron, and it was completely destroyed, without leaving us a word, and almost cutting a layer of slate.
Shine a flashlight around, soon found a pair of footprints, looking for footprints to track down, fortunately no outsiders here, the footprints went out, just the opposite of our footprints, and the soles are different, very good to identify, but to the entrance can not be found, because the outside is the archaeological area, there are archaeological team members walking around, the ground is full of footprints, there is no way to find out.
I sighed, "Looks like this thread is broken."
Now that the slate has been destroyed, there is no value in going in again, and just as we were about to go out, there was a strange sound from the watchtower behind us, and this sound was very strange, as if someone was whispering.
Xiang Fei and I glanced at each other, then slowly groped our way over, and when we reached the watchtower, we turned off the flashlight and calmed down to listen.
The voice was very weak, as if it came from behind the watchtower, I couldn't hear it clearly, I didn't know if someone was whispering or something else, after a while, Xiang Fei said suspiciously: "Why does it seem that someone is moving something?" ”
"Well, it looks like someone is moving something, should we go in and have a look?"
Xiang Fei made a gesture, and then he took the lead and walked in, groping towards the place where the sound came from.
On the second floor, the sound came from the crystal coffin, and we became vigilant, the crystal coffin was a little strange when we came here last time.
When we arrived at the entrance of the stone cave of the crystal coffin, we found that there was a little light coming from it, thinking it was the light of the crystal coffin, but when we took a closer look, we found that it was the light of a flashlight.
"There's someone inside," Xiang Fei whispered.
I also nodded, the people inside must be paying attention to the crystal coffin, it seems that there are other people who know about the situation here.
"Shall we go in?"
"Let's see the situation first," Xiang Fei replied in a low voice.
So we just crawled at the entrance of the cave, quietly observing the movement inside.
After a while, suddenly the lights inside flickered, and there was a sound of collision, it seemed that the people inside were fighting, and there should be more than one person listening to the sound, something must have happened inside.
I heard another shout of horror, and then the sound of fighting inside subsided, Xiang Fei and I glanced at each other, and immediately turned on the flashlight and ran in.
When I went in, the crystal coffin had been opened, the woman inside was gone, and there were blood stains everywhere on the ground, and a person fell in front of the crystal coffin, his eyes wide open and his head broke a big hole.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely weird, there was a pool of blood on the ground, it looked so shocking, was it killed or something else?
After looking around, nothing else was found, and the thief cave was covered with messy footprints, and it was clear that these people had come in from this thief hole, and of course they had probably come out of here.
Xiang Fei and I climbed in, last time I walked through this thief cave to that mysterious place, I was thinking to myself, is there any other secret in this place?
There are traces of human activity everywhere in the thief cave, of course, I didn't tell Xiang Fei about the situation of the last time I came here, and now we will follow these traces when we come in.
When I got to the fork, Xiang Fei chose the above road, and I didn't say anything, and climbed over.
In this way, after climbing for nearly twenty minutes, the front is wide, we shine with a flashlight, and a certain big hole appears in front of us, and under the big hole, a stone hall suddenly appears, this stone hall stands in the middle of the mountain, looks vicissitudes of life and is simple, with a strong mysterious atmosphere.
At that moment, the two of us understood that this robbery cave was connected to the stone hall, and this stone hall should be the haunted one that Professor Zhang said, but we didn't expect to stumble into it by mistake.
"It's amazing, I didn't expect this place to be patronized for a long time, it was your grandfather back then? Or is it someone else? ”
The events of that year are now foggy and need to be explored step by step, but we all know that there are many dangers, not only in the tomb, but also in man-made disasters.
The surroundings were silent, and the stone hall stood quietly in the middle of the mountainside, and after observing the meeting, there was no movement, "Shall we go down and have a look?" ”
"Let's go, since you're here, let's go in and take a look, we haven't seen the danger of the Shu tomb, no matter how fierce this stone hall is, it can't be the Shu tomb."
Slowly climbing down, you can see that there are many footprints on the ground, some are fresh, and some have been covered with a layer of dust.
Obviously, the new ones are the people who came in just now, and these old ones can't be calculated, who knows how many groups of people have come in in the past few decades.
Approaching the stone hall, I took a closer look, and sure enough, as I guessed, this stone hall is exactly the same as the stone hall in the photo that Boss Zhao gave me, that is to say, my grandfather and his group of people came here back then, I think there should be a lot of people at that time, and the light of the flashlight illuminated this place, otherwise it would not have been able to take pictures.
When my grandfather came to them and discovered this place, it seemed that he had discovered a great miracle, and it was possible that he had touched the core of the forbidden secret, so they would take pictures to commemorate it.
The stone hall stood there quietly, Xiang Fei and I observed the meeting, and decided to go down to take a look, Longtan Tiger's Den had to break through.
I groped my way down and climbed down, judging from the messy footprints on the ground, the people before had gone in, but I didn't know what would happen inside.
The stone hall is magnificent, simple and vicissitudes, as if it has experienced endless years, walking up the bluestone stairs, as if entering an ancient world.
The thick door of the stone hall has been opened, and it is pitch black inside, and the flashlight shines into it, like a little fluorescence in the endless darkness, it seems so small, and there is no end in sight, this is like a world, a dark world.
The floor of the main hall is paved with stone slabs, and there are ancient text symbols engraved on it, and there are more mysterious pictures of darkness, continue to walk, and our footsteps sound in the empty hall.
There is a bluestone staircase in front of it, straight up, and the gate is also opened, but the difference is that on both sides of the gate, there is a stone statue standing on each side, all of which are the gods believed in ancient Shu, and they look fierce and vicious.
There are no footprints on the ground, but at this moment there is an inexplicable fear in our hearts, as if behind this gate is a great place, the root of all evil, and if we enter it, we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover.
I told Xiang Fei about this feeling, and he did the same, and for a while we all looked solemn, hesitating whether to go in or not.
"Your grandfather must have gone in back then, and a big disaster happened because of this, and this is the top priority of Gu Shu."
In the quiet space, we all held our breath and observed, but nothing abnormal happened, and suddenly in the quiet atmosphere, an extremely terrible scream came out of the gate, and the scream was mixed with despair and fear, which made people feel chilled.
I swallowed, it must have been those people who had gone in before, and they had encountered something terrible inside, and these people must have been more than lucky.
Then there was a chaotic fighting sound from inside, and it took a while to stop, and I saw a person running out of it like a run for his life, screaming frantically, but as soon as he ran to the door, he saw him fall to the ground, his body was constantly trembling and twisting, his hands were dancing in the air, his mouth was open and desperately trying to climb out, "Help..... Help me", as soon as he finished speaking, he climbed down, his eyes wide and his face full of fear, and he was no longer alive.
Looking at each other, this is just like a ghost asking for his life, it is obvious that stepping into the gate is stepping into the land of great evil, and the vitality is one step away, but the man did not hold on.
Cold sweat is popping up on my forehead, and looking inside the gate, it's like a big devil's mouth, and if you go in, it will devour us.
Xiang Fei jumped violently and pulled out the man's body, and we saw that the second person's face was blue, and there were two ghost paw prints on his neck.
"What a vicious ghost, what the hell is inside?"
Of course, we would not rush into such a place, and we were about to observe the meeting again, when suddenly a little light came on inside the gate, not the light of a flashlight, but an oil lamp.
was carried out by someone, and a figure looked a little weird under the dim light, but the other party did not come out, but suddenly turned around and left us with a back, and disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing this back, I felt very familiar, thought about it for a while, and was suddenly surprised, "Is it Heiye?" ”
Xiang Fei also nodded, "It should be him, but how could he appear in it?" ”
We both know that Hei Ye is already half human and half corpse, just like those immortal ancient corpses in ancient Shu, haunting the Shu tomb, I didn't expect him to be here, and he was also holding an oil lamp.
"He's probably reminding us of something, is he?" I asked.
"That's how it should be, he is holding a lamp of oil. Is it implying that we are going to bring the soul lamp? ”
Xiang Fei nodded, "Yes, the Soul Suppression Lamp is the artifact of Gu Shu, and this is also the important place of Gu Shu, I think the Soul Suppression Lantern should have something to do with here."
One Hundred and Forty The Way of the Stars
I had no choice but to take him to Sanxingdui, and immediately met with Xiang Fei, and entered the stone hall when he was ready, on the way to come, I had already told Uncle Liu in Hunan about the general situation, and he was also excited, saying that it was likely that it was the core secret of Gu Shu.
Directly outside the gate, at this time there was a dead silence inside, Hunan Uncle Liu looked around, and said with a solemn expression: "It is very likely that this is the place where Gu Shu held a sacrificial ceremony and looked for the way to become an immortal, only people with noble status can enter, maybe this is the place they use to communicate with heaven and earth."
"Let's go, let's go in," Xiang Fei said.
Then I lit the soul lamp, and the three of us walked in together, and the sound of empty footsteps sounded, and when we stepped into the gate, our bodies were shocked, and we sensed an inexplicable force coming at us, but it was only a moment's effort, and it disappeared again.
"Mysterious forces are watching us".
Continue to walk forward, gradually a bright light appeared in front of him, all of which emanated from the sky, and when he looked up, several fist-sized night pearls above his head were arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper, sprinkling a hazy light, illuminating this place a little illusory.
There were blood stains on the ground, and when I looked around, I saw a corpse, all of which were covered with wounds, and blood flowed all over the ground, and there was a broken arm not far away, which made people tremble.
It was so big that it was hard to tell the direction, and it took us a while to get a rough idea, and it was a square space, which meant that the ground under our feet was square.
"Square space," Xiang Fei whispered softly.
For a while, I also thought a lot, in ancient times, when human civilization had just developed, began to explore all things in nature, and at that time there was no doubt that the exploration of heaven and earth was the most unprecedented.
People believe that the heavens are the masters, looking down on the clouds and all beings, and there is a heavenly realm in the sky, and the legendary immortals live there, so people naturally think that the heavens are all-encompassing, and the earth is also in it.
According to the Bagua Yin and Yang, the earth should be square, and the so-called four directions of heaven and earth come from this.
Now this place is also square, so it is obvious that the ancient Shu people arranged this place according to their cognition of heaven and earth at that time, and wanted to use the pattern of heaven and earth to explore the universe.
Continuing to walk forward, when we were about to reach the center of the Big Dipper, a hazy light suddenly sprinkled from above, illuminating the surrounding space, we looked up, in the center of the Big Dipper, there was a big hole, and there was a dazzling light shining down.
In this way, we are shrouded in light, and now we can see everything around us through the light.
The square hall is surrounded by huge stone pillars, which are carved with patterns, which are basically about the scenes of the ancient Shu people's sacrifices, the worship of immortals, and some of them depict their exploration of all things in nature.
And in front of us, an altar appeared, and this altar was very natural and quaint, unlike what we had seen before, which was full of blood.
"Look there," Xiang Fei said, pointing straight ahead.
We followed the prestige, and saw that directly above the main hall, there was a huge stone wall, and the whole stone wall was smoothed, and a picture was carved on it that occupied the whole stone wall.
The content of the picture surprised us, and the previous Shu tomb saw some similarity, the picture depicts that the ancient Shu people disappeared into the void in front of them under the leadership of the patriarch or elder.
"This .....", we looked at each other in disbelief.
Judging from the available information, the ancient Shu nation was strong for a while, but suddenly disappeared in history, and various ancient books in ancient times did not mention anything about it, and there are legends that they left the earth and went to another world or another place of life.
The mural in front of him seems to be depicting the scene of the departure of the ancient Shu people, have they really entered the universe? Did you go to the outside world to find the legendary 'immortal'?
The shock in our hearts is indescribable, if this is the case, those previous inferences will be broken, there may really be another place of life in the vast universe, human beings have explored the universe a long, long time ago, the legendary immortals may really exist, and the power of the ancient Shu nation is beyond our imagination.
Shocked and calmed down, we began to explore this place, the altar in front of us was about five meters high, and it was engraved with ancient characters, which were extremely old, and could be called real ancient gods.
I walked up with the soul lamp, and I felt my hands trembling, because I saw that there was a lampstand in the center of the altar, and I suddenly understood something in my heart, so I quickly put the soul lamp on it.
Then the scene changed dramatically, and we were all stunned.
The surroundings suddenly changed into an endless starry sky, and we stood on this square altar, as if we were in the starry sky, and the starlight flickered as if in the universe, and the Big Dipper in the sky above really became the Big Dipper of the universe.
The ancient vicissitudes of life are coming to us, and now we have no reason not to believe that the mythical era of the legend does not exist, which is the best proof that the ancient Shu people are likely to pursue the immortals, and they have unimaginable power in the vast universe exploration.
The flame of the soul lamp beats, it seems more mysterious at the moment, it is obvious that it is an important artifact of ancient Shu, and it is the key to open this place.
It took us a long time before we came to our senses, "This place should be the starry sky teleportation array in myths and legends, from which the ancient Shu people can go to the universe," Xiang Fei said.
"Not only that, I think this should also be a place to deduce the heavenly machine, where the shamans of the ancient Shu people deduce the heavenly machine, divinate the future bad luck, and connect with the unknown life ancient land in the universe. Look here, it seems to be laid out according to the yin and yang gossip, it seems that the research of the Shu people on the yin and yang gossip at that time has reached the peak of the realm, and it is estimated that there are several yin and yang mages."
With the strength of the whole clan, they want to become immortals, but did they succeed in the end? I'm afraid that only the people who participated in it know at the beginning, and there is another possibility, just like the legend, the ancient Shu people were originally the descendants of the immortals, but they wanted to trace their ancestors and find the origin of the immortals, so they entered the universe to explore.
"Yin and Yang gossip is the first, the layout of the forty-two hexagrams, and there is the theory of innate gossip, the Yin and Yang mage is a variable, which seems to be inextricably linked with the mythological era, perhaps this is the only clue left by the ancestors of mankind in the past, the only life", Hunan Uncle Liu said.
This place is an ancient magic circle, from which the ancient Shu people explored the universe and deduced the heavenly opportunities here, and finally their success or failure was annihilated in history.
I looked at the soul lamp on the stone platform, more and more incomprehensible, what is its function, we are not sure, suddenly the light in my mind flashed, and my heart was shocked, "The soul lamp and the soul lamp are used by ancient people to guide the relatives of the deceased soul to return to their hometown, will this town soul lamp also be a soul lamp, the ancient Shu people used it to lure the relatives of the soul back to the magic weapon."
"It's not impossible, the ancient Shu people explored the universe, but you must know that the universe is vast and dangerous, and the weak human beings are like a fine grain of dust, how many people have lost their souls, and how many people have died on the way back, of course their relatives want their souls to return, this can be regarded as a kind of sustenance!"
The starry sky is flickering, and I can't tell whether everything in front of me is real or not, because the surrounding starry sky is moving according to an inexplicable trajectory.
Many ancient books in history have mentioned these two ancient stars, did the ancient Shu people go there?
In the past, Lao Tzu went out of Hanguguan in the west, some people saw him riding a green ox, with purple gas, and disappeared, there is a legend that Hanguguan is actually an ancient road to the universe, is Lao Tzu also into the universe to explore the way to become an immortal.
"Since we are here, otherwise let's try it, see if we can open the ancient magic array, and see if there is really a teleportation ancient array to the starry sky", Hunan Uncle Liu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to wander around.
Of course, Xiang Fei and I agree, many doubts may be solved here, my grandfather and his group of people came here back then, but they didn't know what they found and what they did? And we also saw that Hei Ye was also here, and I don't know if he is still here.
The altar is engraved with ancient words and runes, this is the oldest yin and yang gossip, many of which have been lost in the long river of history, although we can see it now, but it is undoubtedly more difficult to decipher it.
"This yin and yang gossip is all-encompassing, it is the law of yin and yang in later generations, the root of deduction and divination, etc., and non-yin and yang mages can't understand it," Xiang Fei sighed.
The three of us studied for a long time and didn't come out with a clue, and we were all a little anxious.
"Heaven and earth are against Qiankun, yin and yang are against life and death, Taoism is against life, this is the universe, why don't the three of us join hands and try it to see if we can find the mystery", Uncle Liu's voice sounded.
Xiang Fei and I also agree, as the saying goes, there is great strength in the number of people, but I don't know if the three of us can add up to a yin and yang mage.
Just like the last few times, we divided labor and cooperated, Xiang Fei and I were the main yin and yang, and Hunan Uncle Liu came to the main gossip.
Ready, and then start, time passed minute by minute, half a sound, there was still no reaction on the altar, we all sighed helplessly, it seems that with our Taoism is not good at all.
Xiang Fei shook his head, "In my opinion, this magic circle should be left by the ancient sages, and it takes at least a few Yin Yang mages to activate it, don't forget that there were several Yin Yang mages at that time."
I also nodded, but they have all come here, how can they be willing if they don't come up with a reason, and besides, this is probably the place that leads to the legendary road to becoming an immortal.
The three of us rubbed our hands together in place, and then I noticed that the soul lamp on the stone platform suddenly rose brightly, and the flames beat faster and faster, and then in our shocked eyes, the starry sky around us changed, and the flickering darkness seemed to be experiencing the ancient vicissitudes of the universe, destruction and rebirth.
When it calmed down, an incomparably ancient vicissitudes of life rushed towards us, and it suddenly made people feel as if they had experienced endless years, and only the vicissitudes of years were left in their hearts.
One hundred and forty-one myths and legends
A dazzling light fell from the starry sky and shone on the altar, and a gate appeared inside, and when the gate opened, it was pitch black.
The three of us were dumbfounded, and we were all extremely excited when we reacted, "Could this be the gate to the Starry Sky Teleportation Ancient Array?" ”
Just when we wanted to dance, a familiar voice sounded, "How many years have I been waiting, and today finally appeared", it was Hei Ye.
I hurriedly turned around, only to see Hei Ye walking up with a soul-attracting lamp, only then did I notice that the soul-attracting lamp in his hand was almost the same as the soul-calming lamp, the only difference was that it was not engraved with ancient characters, and I had already guessed something in an instant.
Hei Ye has not changed from the last time he saw him, if it weren't for the slightest anger, and his lifeless eyes, it would be difficult to see that he was a dead man.
Hei Ye walked over, glanced at me and said, "No matter what difficulties you encounter, you have to keep going, this is your responsibility, and it is also your fate."
The three of us all watched Hei Ye's movements, not knowing what he was going to do when he appeared.
Xiang Fei suddenly asked, "Master Hei, have you found the way to become an immortal?" ”
Hei Ye shook his head, "Where in the world is there any way to become an immortal, even immortals are ethereal, you must be curious, now I look like this, you will naturally know this in the future, now I won't tell you."
"Then did Gu Shu really find an immortal back then?"
"I don't know, everything was too illusory back then, what happened, no one can say it now, just rely on yourself to explore step by step."
"What about you?"
"Me?" Hei Ye smiled bitterly, "I was originally a dead man, and the dead should stay in the tomb, shouldn't they?" ”
We are all silent, what Hei Ye said is not unreasonable, he is already a dead man, no matter what the reason is that he is now, but he is a dead man, as he said, the dead can only stay in the tomb.
Uncle Liu, who had been silent, also spoke, "What kind of place is this?" ”
"Haven't you all guessed where it is?"
"Could it really be that this is really the Starry Sky Teleportation Ancient Array? It's the ancient road to the universe," we all asked.
Hei Ye didn't answer, just nodded, "Chasing Shu Immortals, I don't know how many people's souls are on the way, how many people are buried in other places, and their souls are wandering in the boundless and lonely universe, waiting for someone to take them home."
I suddenly remembered a question in my heart, a very critical question, "I went to so many people, did they find the origin of the 'immortal', or other ancient stars of life, and if so, did they bring back the 'method of becoming an immortal'?" ”
"I don't know, I don't know, if you want to know, just wait and see if we can summon the souls of the wandering in the boundless universe, they know all this", Hei Ye finished speaking, and walked to the center of the altar.
We were all shocked, he was going to lure the souls of the wandering universe back, it was incredible.
Hei Ye stood in front of the altar, he picked up the soul lamp, made strange movements, chanted something in his mouth, the scene became mysterious, we all quieted down, quietly watching Hei Ye.
After a while, Hei Ye put down the soul lamp again, picked up the soul lamp and walked forward, walked to the edge of the altar, and recited the ancient language towards the endless starry sky, which should sound like the language of ancient Shu.
Hei Ye knows the language of Gu Shu, and we are not surprised, after all, he is a descendant of Gu Shu, but we all know that exciting things are about to happen, so will the souls lost in the starry sky be brought back?
Then under our gaze, Hei Ye put the soul-attracting lamp into the starry sky in front of him, and read it out loud in his mouth, the mutation protruded, the starry sky was full of starlight, and then gathered together, shining in front of Hei Ye, silently A dark door opened, and from it came out the breath of vicissitudes of life, we know that Hei Ye succeeded.
Our hearts are about to jump out, staring at the gate of the starry sky, which is exactly like in myths and legends, the ancient door is opened, and the souls lost in the universe are about to return, and perhaps the legend of the 'immortals' will be unlocked.
Hei Ye stood there, continuing to recite the language of Gu Shu, and after a while, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the dark gate, several black figures appeared, and the souls lost in the universe returned.
Hei Ye picked up the soul-attracting lamp, walked back, and then made some strange gestures, and saw the black shadow in the starry sky gate slowly walking out, but it seemed that they had lost their minds, like a blank piece of paper, standing there stupidly.
Unexpectedly, this result suddenly made us all a little unwilling, is it because the time has passed too long, and the souls of the dead who were once lost in the starry sky of the universe have disappeared? Even the rest are just wisps of obsession, they have lost their consciousness and their memories.
We turned our gaze to Hei Ye, and he just shook his head helplessly, "Time has passed too long, what is the most terrible thing in the world, naturally it is time, time can wipe out everything, no matter what you are, no matter how strong you are, it will be annihilated in time." The soul of the dead has been worn away, and all that remains is a wisp of lingering obsession, wandering in the universe."
We naturally understand this truth, but in the end we are still unwilling, such a rare opportunity, but it is empty joy.
The atmosphere was quiet, and a few wisps of obsession returning from the starry sky stood in place, like a blank sheet of paper.
This is Xiang Fei said, "It's better for us to use the method of yin and yang to open the 'Heavenly Spirit', maybe we can communicate with them."
Hearing him say this, we all reacted, this method may really work, I have also seen records in ancient books, but this secret method has long been lost, could it be that Xiang Feihui?
We looked at Xiang Fei suspiciously, and sure enough, we saw him nodding, "I learned this technique by chance, but I didn't expect it to come in handy this time."
The so-called "Heavenly Spirit" is actually to let people communicate with all things that have a form, which is similar to superpowers, special functions, etc., the so-called "Heavenly Spirit" is actually the forehead of a person, a point of the Heavenly Spirit, and the cultivators of ancient myths and legends are to sense all things in nature through here, sense the Heavenly Law Dao, and then practice its way.
Xiang Fei helped us start to open the 'Heavenly Spirit', and when we were done, it was successful, and we could clearly feel the emotions and thoughts of these obsessions.
It is not correct to say that the thought is not correct, the so-called obsession is actually the deceased's attachment to one thing before death, and after death, an obsession is born and still wants to go on, they have no thoughts, and the reason for their existence is completely because of this obsession that will not let go until death.
Sensing their emotions and persistent obsessions, we were all silent for a moment, and our hearts welled up with infinite sighs and sorrows, as well as respect.
"There is an empty end of the fairy road, does the immortal really exist?" I sighed softly, sensing from their emotions that Gu Shu had exhausted the strength of the whole clan in order to pursue Shu Immortals, and finally they stepped into the starry sky, but the starry sky was too dangerous, although they had mastered the power beyond ordinary people, but in the universe, like a grain of dust, they had no power to resist in front of the universe.
This is a bloody road, but also a road of no return, the people of Shu died one by one, buried in the silent universe, and in the end only one-tenth remained.
But they still haven't found the origin of the legendary 'immortals'.
Despair could not dispel their obsession, and they still pursued without scruples, and finally took them to several ancient stars, but they did not find any trace of 'immortals', and the once legendary ancient stars of life were just yellow sand everywhere, and the desolate land was a glacier.
At this time, there were only a few dozen people left, and there were thousands of them who had set off, and what was worse was that they had encountered many accidents while exploring and advancing in the starry sky, and now they had lost their way and could not find their way back.
There is no doubt that they have fallen into a desperate situation, and unless the legendary immortals can come and go freely in the vast universe, there is no possibility for these mortals at all.
Utter despair enveloped them, and eventually the rest of them all died.
Is there really only one living planet in the vast universe? This is the question in our minds, and the answer we desperately want to know.
Then we continued to communicate with them, and the information we got next made us stunned, our heads banged, and we stayed in place for a long time without reacting.
"No..... No.... No way! Is it true that there is more than one birthplace of mankind, as the legend goes? "I felt like my heart was about to jump out and I was stammering.
Xiang Fei and the others were the same, their expressions were indescribably excited.
From their emotional exchanges, we learned that they had lost their way to the end, wandering aimlessly in the universe, waiting for death to come.
But in the end, they stumbled upon a vast and vast planet, which was many times larger than the earth, and it was full of vitality, and from a distance they could see the towering mountains, the rushing rivers, and the mountains stretching for I don't know how many miles.
At that time, they could imagine how excited and happy they were, after paying so much, at such a heavy price, they finally found an ancient star of life, it seems that there must be a powerful life on this ancient star, could it be an immortal?
But what happened next made their hearts that originally saw hope fall into despair in an instant, the area where the ancient star was located began to collapse, the cosmic black hole appeared and began to devour everything, they saw one by one behemoths appear, these behemoths have exceeded their cognition, they are indescribable, and then they are overwhelmed by the collapsed universe.
Pursuing Shu Immortals, the ancient Shu nation will never give up, although this ending is very tragic, but in their hearts, Shu Immortals really exist, they are the descendants of Shu Immortals, and we can only sigh.
Although they finally discovered the Life Ancient Star, they did not go to the last step, and they could not be sure that there were immortals on it.
But this is shocking enough, at least in the vast universe, other ancient stars of life have been discovered, proving that in the vast universe, not the earth is the only ancient star of life, just like aliens, maybe we are also aliens in the eyes of creatures on other planets.
From their emotional memories, we also know that they once went to Fireflies, which is now called Mars, and they found some traces of human activities there, could this be left by human ancestors who explored the universe? Or is it like in ancient Chinese myths and legends, in fact, Mars was also a living planet long ago?
The fog enveloped us, and we continued to communicate with these obsessions, and to our surprise, there were mythical cultivators and Yin and Yang mages among them.
One hundred and forty-two vellum paper
We tried to communicate with them, and learned that the ancient mythological era did exist, it was a very long time, and they knew very little, and they couldn't say what happened at that time, according to them, Gu Shu was at the end of antiquity, and at that time the world changed greatly, and the characters of the mythological era disappeared, as if that period of time had never existed, leaving no trace.
"Go home", this is their emotional expression at the moment, although there are only these two words, but you can imagine how heavy it is, after endless years, wandering in the universe, and now although there is only a trace of obsession left, but finally home.
They are just a trace of obsession, maybe it will disappear soon, we seize the time to communicate, and the most asked is 'Chengxian Land'.
But from their consciousness, we know that they don't know about the 'Chengxian Land', but they have heard that the ancestors of the Shu people have been looking for it, and at that time they got some clues to prove that the 'Chengxian Land' is on the earth, and it is in Bashu, and it is said that the Shu Immortal was born from it.
But I haven't found the 'Chengxian Land', but there is a very important clue that there is a map circulating in the world about the Chengxian Land, but this map has been divided into several parts, and it has not been put together, and the ancestors of the Shu people have roughly deduced from the broken map that the legendary 'Chengxian Land' should be in the area of Mount Emei, but it has not found a breakthrough.
Although it is only a general news, it is also shocking enough for us, of course, I know it best in my heart, because the map about the land of immortals should be the two copies in my hand, but it should not be complete.
Originally, we wanted to ask some things about the ancient Shu people, such as internal things and sacrifices, but they didn't have much memory, because they stepped into the starry sky very early and didn't know what happened in ancient Shu later.
At this time, the gate of the starry sky has been closed, and it seems that only these obsessions are left when they stepped into the starry sky, and we don't know what to say about such a result.
At this moment, a figure slowly walked up to the altar, it was the woman in the crystal coffin, of course, she would not be a living person, just like the black master.
walked in front of us, looking at the figures, as if looking for her familiar figure, but in the end it was a helpless sigh, "He still hasn't come back!" ”
Needless to say, we also understand that this woman has been waiting for her to come back, but unfortunately thousands of years have passed, and she still hasn't waited, and at this time, even she herself probably understands that it is impossible for him to come back.
After a moment of silence, the woman suddenly said to Hei Ye, "Can you open the starry sky teleportation array for me again?" ”
Hei Ye shook his head helplessly, "Why are you bothering, the result is already very clear, why are you bothering to pursue it."
"I don't know, I only know that he promised me to come back, if he doesn't come back, then I'll go to the stars to find him", said the woman turned her head to look at me again, "General Shu Yuan, do you say yes?" "What is it?"
"I remember that you promised her at the beginning, and now that you are finally back, she must be very happy, right?"
"Uh......", I didn't know how to answer, I just stood there dumbfounded.
"Okay, since you've chosen, we'll help you, but you have to know the consequences of doing so."
"I know, but I do," the woman whispered.
A few obsessions have dissipated, and returning to their hometown can be regarded as satisfying their wishes, and now we will open the starry sky teleportation array again under the command of the black master.
The three of us are a little excited, this is the ancient Yin and Yang Ancestral Method, we can't do it on our own, but now that Hei Ye is here, it must be okay.
Then, under the arrangement of the black master, we guarded the Quartet and began to do what he said, mainly to start the starry sky teleportation ancient array.
In a moment, I saw that the central altar was shining, and the power of the Big Dipper gathered and opened a gate in the starry sky, leading to the gate of the Starry Sky Teleportation Ancient Array, as long as you step in, you can enter the universe.
The woman thanked us, and then walked in without looking back, and with the starry sky trembling, the door slowly closed, and we all let out a sigh, the gate to the starry sky, but it was a dead end.
In the end, I walked around this place again, asked Hei Ye some things, and finally we agreed to go to Mount Emei in a few days, since the 'Chengxian Land' is there, then choose to start from there, it can be regarded as a big progress, in addition, Hei Ye will come at that time, but I don't know how he went, we already know that the current Hei Ye can only live in the ancient tomb, can not go out, asked him, he didn't say, just told us that he would come then.
In the remaining few days, we still have to find out the group of people who are secretly following us, and Ghost Senju must also be in contact, and then we have to meet the real seller, I don't know who that person will be? The next day, the news came from Ghost Senju, saying that the seller was willing to meet with us, and the location was in his shop, and the time was set for 8 o'clock in the evening.
We discussed it and decided that all three of us would go when the time came, to see what this person was coming from, and how deep he was hidden.
In the evening, we got ready, and went to the antique store of the ghost thousand hands, and it was exactly eight o'clock when we arrived, but the other party hadn't come yet, obviously trying to put on a show.
We didn't care, so we just sat down and waited, and Oni Senju was also on the side, chatting with us about some things on the road.
Said that he has been washing his hands for more than ten years, and he doesn't know much about the form of the road now, and he used to be friends on the road, but most of them didn't do it, and he often dealt with the tombs of the dead in this line, and it was inevitable that he would get some bad luck, and there would be some accidents or something, so those who made a fortune would also accept it when they saw it, otherwise they would take their lives into it, and now they are not doing this business better than before, and now the government is strict, and if they catch it, they may have to go in and squat for a few years, so now there are fewer people who do this business.
Chatting and chatting, the time came to nine o'clock, seeing that the other party had not yet come, we were a little angry, could it be to release our pigeons?
Ghost Qianshou shook his head, "It shouldn't be, although I haven't met him, but judging from the previous cooperation, this person is cautious and abides by the rules of the road, unless he encounters something difficult, otherwise he won't not come."
After drinking tea, we waited for about half an hour, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then we heard a knock on the door.
Oni Senju smiled at us, "It's finally here, I'm going to open the door."
The door of the store opened, and the ghost thousand hands welcomed the two people in, and to our surprise, the people who came were middle-aged men who looked ...... How to say it, describe it as five big and three coarse.
The two big men clenched their fists at us, and the ghost thousand hands had already introduced our general situation to them and explained their intentions.
Two strong men, who seem to be rough, but have deep eyes, can tell at a glance that they are not simple characters.
"We're sorry for keeping a few friends waiting," he said, and sat down.
On our side, of course, it was Xiang Fei who spoke, "Since this is the case, then let's stop gossiping and get straight to the point."
The two men hurriedly waved their hands, "Actually, we are just here to pass on a word, that is, to run errands, our husband said, if you need this piece of animal skin paper, take it."
