Chapter 426
At this time, the situation in the main hall was extremely strange. The side near the entrance of the main hall was cold, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the ground. On the other side, the flames were blazing, and layers of heat were constantly surging. Qunhao was forced in the middle by the cold and flames, and there was no way to dodge, and there was no way to advance or retreat. Fortunately, the flame and cold forces were half a catty, and for a while, they fell to the place where Qunhao stood, forming a circle with neither cold nor flame. It's just that this circle is shrinking, and the situation of Qunhao is becoming more and more embarrassing.
Qunhao listened to Situ Qiao's story about what happened to him in the Yongtai Princess Mausoleum, and when he said that three people suddenly appeared behind him, although he was not in the place, he was also shocked in his heart. Murong Danyan was even more frightened and leaned on Li Qiufeng's body tightly, not even daring to make a sound.
Situ Qiao took a deep breath, and then continued: "At that time, I was so scared that my soul was about to fly. The body retreated quickly, but he didn't notice that not far behind him was the huge coffin where Li Xianhui and Wu Yanji were buried together. I only heard a 'bang', and I had already hit the coffin. The force of the collision was so great that I only felt a pain in my vest, a sweet throat, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out. I barely stood up straight, knowing that there was no way back, and I thought that I was going to die here, and I had to die to understand. So I held the torch in front of me to see what the three men looked like.
"It's just that if you don't look at it, it's even more shocking when you look at it. I saw that the three people on the opposite side were two men and one woman. The woman stood in the middle, her temples towering, and her posture graceful. His face was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, his face was like a disc, and there was a little red mark on his eyebrows. Dressed in a pale pink gauze and wearing a long white coat. On the left stood the man, who was only in his twenties, with a handsome face, a majestic spirit, richly dressed and a sharp eye. The man standing on the right is also about twenty years old, wearing a green shirt, with a calm face and a smile on his face.
I watched as the three of them stood quietly not far away, like falling into an ice cave. Because these three people, these three people I just met before......"
When Situ Qiao said this, everyone was shocked, and Liu Yong said: "Have you seen these three people?" Could it be that Mr. Situ met these three people before entering the mausoleum?"
Da Ming Law punished tomb robbery very severely, and beheaded immediately after being caught, and some even punished the nine clans. When he is a tomb robber, if he is seen, he must kill people to eliminate future troubles. If a thief like Situ Qiao is discovered before entering the tomb of Princess Yongtai, he will be chased to the ends of the earth and killed the other party. It was because everyone thought in their hearts: "Could it be that Situ Qiao did not do things secretly, and when he was killing people outside the mausoleum, he actually made a big deal for a while, and escaped the lives of these three people, and was tracked down to the tomb by them?"
Situ Qiao shook his head and said, "The three people I saw were not living people, but people painted in the murals on the walls. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look at each other. But Situ Qiao continued: "Every time I rob the tomb, after entering the tomb road, I will carefully look at the murals painted on the walls and ceilings of the tomb, so as to speculate on some situations in the tomb. After I entered the Mausoleum of Princess Yongtai, I saw murals in the tomb passage, the passage, the corridor and the top of the tomb. When the royal family and the big family built the tomb, they paid attention to death as life, and the former tomb was the reception hall of the tomb owner in the underworld, and the murals in the tomb were some maids wearing gorgeous costumes. These maids were plump and had different expressions, holding tea trays and other utensils in their hands, some seemed to be whispering, some seemed to be nodding in approval, and some were looking around. These maids were busy in the reception hall, as if they were preparing to serve their masters and entertain guests. The back burial chamber is the bedroom of the tomb owner in the underworld, and the top of the tomb is painted with celestial charts. To the east is the three-legged golden bird, which symbolizes the sun, and to the west is the round stone, which symbolizes the moon. In the middle is the Milky Way inlaid with fluorite, the sky is full of stars, and it is very gorgeous. On the wall of the back burial chamber, there is also a picture of Princess Yongtai and his wife. In the painting, Princess Yongtai and his wife stand side by side, surrounded by plump maids with different expressions. In addition to the group of maids, there were dozens of samurai wearing battle robes and gold swords at their waists. These warriors lined up in front of the tower and the six-halberd weapon rack, with a solemn and mighty expression. ”
Everyone wanted to know who the three people who suddenly appeared were, but Situ Qiao chattered about the murals in the tomb of Princess Yongtai, who was quite impatient, but he was afraid that he would offend this person by opening his mouth, and they all looked embarrassed.
Li Qiufeng remembered the mural that everyone saw after entering the boulder disc, and thought to himself: "Although Situ Qiao is bitter, he is not a reckless man. In order to study the secret art of the mechanism, he stole the mausoleum, read a lot of ancient books, and paid great attention to the murals and characters in the tomb. He said this mural in such detail that it must have a profound meaning. ”
But I heard Situ Qiao say: "Those three people are standing in front of me, and the woman and the man in green shirt are the Princess Yongtai and his wife painted in the mural......"
As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts were in awe. Deng Yao sneered: "Thinking that Mr. Situ has done too much to do things, he was dazzled in fright, and he actually regarded the characters in the mural as real people." ”
Situ Qiao shook his head and said, "I have never regarded the digging of graves as a bad thing. These gold, silver and jewels were possessed by those emperors, generals, and wealthy gentry, and buried in the ground without seeing the light of day. I took out the money and distributed it to the poor people, this is a heart of compassion, what is the sin? Monks and Taoists, who worship the Buddha and recite sutras every day, can save a few people from the sea of suffering? Instead, I stole gold, silver and jewels from those graves, exchanged them for silver, and helped thousands of people. It's always called Hanako, and I've saved a lot of your apprentices and grandchildren, so you should thank me. ”
Deng Yao was speechless for a while, knowing that he couldn't talk about Situ Qiao, so he had to "puff" and ignore him.
Situ Qiao continued: "I looked at these three people, my body trembled involuntarily, and it took a long time before I asked in a trembling voice: 'You, are you human or ghost...... The voice came into my ears, but I also knew that I was very stubble, but I was just calming myself.
Princess Yongtai and his wife were still smiling and did not answer. The man in the gorgeous costume standing on the left side of Princess Yongtai slowly walked up two steps, his eyes like torches, staring at me tightly. I became more and more alarmed, and said in a trembling voice: "You, don't come here...... At this moment, I saw several figures slowly appearing behind Princess Yongtai and his wife. At first, these figures were extremely vague, but they became clearer and clearer, and slowly took on human shapes, and finally they were several plump maids, holding tea trays or porcelain pots in their hands, as if they were about to serve tea to their masters and guests.
"I can see it clearly this time. These maids stood in front of me as if they had slowly come out of the stone wall. My heart sank instantly, and I knew that these people were not living people, but ghosts......"
Before Situ Qiao's words fell, Lin Yilang couldn't help but say loudly: "Ridiculous! How can there be any ghosts in the world? You are obviously deceiving us!" When he said this, he turned his head to Liu Yong and said: "Mr. Liu, we are trapped in the main hall, life and death hang by a thread, do you still want to listen to this madman's nonsense here?!"
Liu Yong also felt that Situ Qiao's words were cloudy, mountainous, and foggy, and he was unreliable. It's just that at this time, there is still a request for Situ Qiao, and it is absolutely impossible to reprimand him for talking nonsense. It was Liu Yong who gave Lin Yilang a look, signaling him to be patient for the time being. Lin Yilang forcibly suppressed his anger, and saw that a flame was approaching everyone, he shouted loudly, and his right palm slashed out. Hearing only the sound of "whew", the flame suddenly retreated as if a poisonous snake had been slashed head-on.
Several gang leaders and heads of the gang saw that Lin Yilang was so good at palming, and they immediately shouted hello. Deng Yao even smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that the Songshan faction splits the air and holds the unparalleled kung fu in the world, and today I see the head of Lin trying out this martial arts mastery, which is indeed admirable." ”
Situ Qiao knew that Lin Yilang was demonstrating to himself, but he didn't pay attention to him, and then said: "I know that everyone thinks I'm talking nonsense, but if you change places with me, I'm afraid that you will be as scared as me." I watched as the maids brought tea to Princess Yongtai and the man in the fancy clothes, and the three of them seemed to be talking while sipping tea. It's just that I can only see the mouths of the three people open and close, but I can't hear any sound.
I don't know how long it took, but several maids took the teacups of the three of them, and three more maids came over and dressed the three of Princess Yongtai. I was stunned when Princess Yongtai turned around and looked at me stunned. I was startled and involuntarily wanted to back away again. It's just that at this time, the body was leaning tightly on the coffin of Princess Yongtai and his wife, and he couldn't retreat a single step. I saw that Princess Yongtai's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and her right hand was slowly raised, and she said a few words while pointing at me. It's just that I can only see the corners of her mouth twitching, but I can't hear the sound. But seeing that her face was gloomy and her eyes were full of murderous aura, I knew that her words must not be good words, and my heart was even more afraid.
At this moment, I saw another figure slowly appearing behind Princess Yongtai, as if someone was walking from the darkness to the light. A moment later, several warriors dressed in battle robes, wearing golden helmets and holding swords walked out from behind Princess Yongtai. I knew that the situation was not good, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen samurai in front of and behind Princess Yongtai, wearing armor and holding swords, dressed exactly like the samurai depicted in the mural. The more I looked, the more scared I became, and I just wanted to turn around and run away. Just as he was panicking, he suddenly heard a sound of people shouting and neighing horses outside the tomb. Immediately after that, the sound of horses' hooves arose, and it seemed that a large group of cavalry was rushing towards the burial chamber.
"At that time, I was so frightened that I dared to delay, so I turned around and fled. It's just that when he turned around, there was a huge stone coffin in front of him. Although the Yongtai Princess Mausoleum is named after Princess Yongtai, it is the joint burial tomb of Li Xianhui and Wu Yanji. The two were one husband and wife, and they were also buried in a coffin in the burial chamber. The outer layer of this coffin is a stone coffin of the palace type, and there is a wooden door in the middle, and a maid guarding the door is carved on both sides of the wooden door. In a hurry, I slapped my palm out, only to hear a 'click', and the two wooden doors were smashed by me. I grabbed the sides of the wooden door with both hands, put my feet on the ground a little harder, and slammed headlong into the stone coffin. ”
