The structures of ancient tombs in the past dynasties were mostly either round or square, either taking the roundness of the sky or the squareness of the earth.
Therefore, both the tomb passage and the tomb chamber all followed this principle, and the coffin was located in the middle of the north and south.
The method of incense was not commonly known by the four sects at first, but was unique to the Wen Sect.
It was called Wengui, and it was an extremely complex secret method.
But as time went by, what was handed down was not the secret technique of communicating with ghosts, but a simple method of knowing good or bad luck just by looking at the incense in the hand.
The placement of the incense on the head of the coffin is also based on the secret method of the Wen sect and the reasoning of the Wang sect.
Unlike candles and other objects, incense is extremely difficult to extinguish.
If it is oppressed by the yin, the incense will tend to dim, but if it is completely If the flame of the incense extinguishes instantly, it is a sign of great misfortune.
This aura is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary ghosts.
I saw the sandalwood in Wang Jiangqian's hand suddenly extinguished, and I knew something was wrong.
This Red Mansion was really not a good thing.
At this time, I'm afraid it would be best to leave and think of something else.
I thought to myself, and I immediately backed away.
After a few steps, I told everyone my thoughts.
"I think we may have thought wrong.
Not all the coffin bricks may contain ghosts.
I just opened one.
You see, it is a shriveled corpse."
At this time, Cao Zijian suddenly walked up to me and said, In his hand was an open stone coffin.
"Damn it, brother, you're crazy.
How dare you touch this thing?
You're not afraid to go back and let the devil torture you into impotence.
Ya Niu, I'm convinced."
Wang Jiangqian stared at him, stretched his neck to take a look, and immediately gave Cao Zijian a Thumbs up.
I originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, I'm afraid Cao Zijian really discovered something.
This kid has always been calm, and he will never act foolishly at this time.
Maybe he thought of something I didn't expect, so he rashly opened the stone coffin.
Thinking of this, I opened my mouth and said, "Brother Cao, have you discovered anything?
If you really have any guesses, you can tell us.
Let's discuss it together and brainstorm."
Cao Zijian frowned and said, "Actually, I didn't think of anything at first, but just when the incense in Brother Wang's hand went out instantly, I suddenly thought of one thing, and that is the principle of too much but not enough."
"Tell me carefully."
Liu Xuance touched his chin.
"If these stone coffins are all filled with ghosts, then they will definitely not all be red-robed ghosts.
It would be good to have ten of them.
But red-robed ghosts are born to eat ghosts, so Hong Xiu must be particularly aware of his identity. , If there are a lot of red-robed ghosts here, Hongxiu will definitely feel it, but Hongxiu doesn't, so I made a bold attempt to open these stone coffins, and then I found that they contained corpses. " "If all these tens of thousands of sarcophagi are filled with red-robed ghosts, then I'm afraid it's too late for us to run away now, but obviously it's not the case.
I'm afraid there are many similar corpses like this in the other sarcophagi.
Then I also thought One thing is an interesting anecdote that my father once told me a long time ago."
Later, Cao Zijian told us this anecdote.
It turns out that in the late Qing Dynasty, when Cixi was in power, a group of foreigners plundered and defrauded Chinese people of antiques, including many ancient precious jades and bronzes.
As a result, the government found out, but at that time the Yamen did not dare to offend the foreigners, so they could only find an excuse to let them go, and only detained the cultural relics that had been deceived.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it.
After all, the government at that time was too powerful.
Too cowardly.
The county magistrate who seized this batch of cultural relics at that time was a person who loved antiquities very much.

He found that these cultural relics deceived by foreigners were extremely precious and rare, and they were not ordinary shareholders who could usually see them.
So the county magistrate came.
I was interested and prepared to continue investigating until I found out that a group of mountain people, that is, this group of mountain people, sold the antiquities to foreigners.
At that time, the county magistrate was extremely angry.
He was a person who loved antiquities and had a strong sense of patriotism.
He immediately brought these mountain people to the Yamen.
After being tortured, he learned that these mountain people were actually tomb robbers, and they Everything was obtained from a coffin in the mountains.
The county magistrate felt strange, so he sent someone to follow these mountain people.
As a result, the officials who came back were frightened and went crazy.
The county magistrate was surprised and quickly asked what was going on.
It turns out that there is indeed a coffin building in the mountain.
It is nine meters high and contains tens of thousands of coffins.
However, there is nothing in the coffin.
When you open it, it is full of blood stains, which is very shocking.
Only a few coffins contain some gold, silver, jewelry, and rare and exotic objects.
They were all taken out by the mountain people.
The county magistrate didn't believe it, thinking that there was no building built with coffins in the world, so he prepared to go there in person.
But when he arrived, he found that the situation was indeed the case.
He originally wanted to destroy the coffin building, but he was afraid of causing trouble after destroying it.
In natural disasters, one can only order the mountain to be closed, and then offer pigs, cattle, sheep and other items to the coffin in order to achieve peace.
Many years later, the county magistrate learned that the coffin was a relic of the ancient Xia Dynasty.
The ancient Xia Dynasty was panic-stricken and advocated witchcraft.
They believed that after death, the same "organs" should be removed, including the "heart and liver". , spleen, lungs, kidneys, etc., are used to worship the gods.
Depending on the status, the harvested organs are also different, but all of them are put into stone coffins.
Over time, one coffin was built upon another, forming the so-called coffin building.
"You mean that the sarcophagi in these small buildings contain human organs, not ghosts," Liu Xuance nodded and said.
"That's not entirely true.
I'm just guessing, but in my opinion, there may be evil spirits hidden in this sarcophagus, but most of them are internal organs."
Cao Zijian shrugged and said.
"Tai Chi, Liang Yi, Sancai, Four Phases, Five Elements, Six Ren, Seven Stars, Bagua, and Jiugong coffins are not only engraved with the heavenly stems and earthly branches, but even the musical rhythms of Gong, Shang, and Zheng.
It is really all-encompassing.
If it is true According to what Brother Cao said, the most important thing we should do now is to force our way over and not waste time here.
After all, I think it is better to be proactive than passive."
I closed my eyes and recalled the words on the sarcophagus. mark, then raised his head and said.
"That's what I think too.
You can completely ignore these sarcophagi.
We can just go there directly.
It's not an option to waste time.
So now that it's settled, let's go."
Hua Leopard scratched his head and said boldly. .
"No, no, no, the purpose of rushing in is to lure out the ghosts in this sarcophagus, not to rush.
Why don't you understand such a simple and easy-to-understand truth?
If there are very few ghosts in this sarcophagus, we Then kill them.
If there are no ghosts in the sarcophagus, then we will go directly to the main hall.
If they are all ghosts, then we will live or die."

Liu Xuance yawned and said.
"There is a one-third chance, you can give it a try."
Gu Xinlie said with a smile.
With that said, the few of us threw away the sandalwood in our hands and started walking forward, because at this point, the sandalwood is no longer important.
What we have to do now is to force away, but even though we said It sounds free and easy, but I actually feel a little uneasy in my heart.
Although there is only a one-third chance, even this one-third chance is enough for us to bear.
I was thinking in my mind, but slowly, before I walked a few steps, I heard a rustling sound coming from my ears.
When I heard the sound, my eyes widened and I immediately turned my head to look at Liu Xuance.
Waiting for others, I saw that a few of them were also shivering, their eyes fixed on the red buildings around them.
The gnawing movement became louder and louder, a burst of sucking, any burst of biting, it was like eating a plate of ribs, chewing the bones and meat, and sucking the marrow, but this feeling made me tremble all over.
It's cold, and I can't feel the same feeling as eating pork ribs.
"Can anyone tell me what this noise is?"
I smiled, my voice trembling.
"Is it possible that the one-third chance of catching up with me is so small?"
Wang Jiangqian stared at him in disbelief.
I smiled bitterly, then glanced, and suddenly found Hua Mulan staring at me, still holding the embroidered spring knife tightly in her hand.
I trembled all over and said subconsciously: "What are you going to do?"
"Behind you" Hua Mulan said, then she glared and ran towards me immediately.
My heart skipped a beat, and I rolled subconsciously.
A stream of yang breath blew from my back to my neck, only letting me I shivered, and now I knew what was going on.
When I turned around, my face turned pale instantly.
I licked my lips.
My face turned pale not because of anything else, but because I was scared.
Right in front of me, an extremely rich woman was hanging by the door of the corridor.
She was extremely fat and didn’t know.
Is it swelling or something, in short, it makes people feel uncomfortable all over, but her face is even more terrifying.
She was as white as a layer of wall plaster.
The thick powder made her whole face look horribly white.
Her strange facial features were extremely small, like a few ants embedded on a white board.
She Her eyebrows are extremely short, slightly like a Japanese singer's, and her small blood-red cherry mouth is even more abrupt, forming an extremely sharp contrast with her entire face.
I didn't even have time to think about where this corpse came from.
Just by looking at each other face to face, I was almost scared out of my mind.
After cursing, I quickly took a few steps back, and Gu Xin Lie was different from Hua Mulan.
He took off the fat woman's hands with a bang of his long knife, but what happened next was not good.
Because this woman actually screamed out an extremely painful moan, and just after she screamed, the wounds on her arms instantly erupted with a burst of black gas.
"Those ghosts are actually hiding in her body":
