Professor Sun said that the cave was too wet and everything in it was destroyed.
Although Guanshan Taibao Feng Shigu behaved strangely, he was a master with strange arts after all.
How could Guanshan Zhimin, who was so magical, destroy the tomb?
By choosing a location in such a dark and humid place, we probably found the wrong place again.
I also felt that something was different.
When I took off my gas mask, I could hear the faint sound of water flowing deep in the rock formations.
It seemed that there was a water system such as a Yin River or an underground lake deep in the rock formations.
There was no real "mountain viewing experience".
As a reference, it is difficult to determine whether the cave under the "silver screen iron wall" is the entrance to the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb".
After thinking about it for a moment, I made up my mind to continue venturing into the depths of the cave.
I could only care if I could see it clearly with my own eyes, so I said to everyone: "In our team, there are Captain Mo Jin, as well as experts from Fengwo Mountain and others."
Expertise in deciphering ancient texts Home, it’s okay if there is no Dixian Village Ancient Tomb in the world.
As long as this ancient tomb really exists, you won’t have to worry about not being able to find it.
It’s pointless to make random guesses now.
We might as well follow the cave to the depths to see what happens.
Everyone is on the way.
They all focus on their tricks.”
After I said that, I half held the "gold steel umbrella" in front of me, holding the "wolf eye flashlight" and stepped down the stone steps first.
The rest of the people followed closely behind.
Everyone knew that the future was uncertain, so they couldn't help but carry ten With a sense of caution, the movement speed is very slow.
The cave is wet, with water dripping everywhere.
The terrain is high and low, and the simple stone steps dug by humans are intermittent and sometimes absent.
There are caves within caves, and there are forked roads around from time to time, but there is only one stone step path.
As we walked to the deepest point, the phosphide material in the rock formations gradually increased, and the flickering will-o'-the-wisps dazzled people's eyes.
Occasionally, one or two snakes and rats living underground jumped past.
Seeing this scene, I felt even more sad.
Ant food soaked in water is taboo for those who are buried.
Therefore, in the auspicious land that truly hides the wind and accepts water, insects, ants, snakes and rats will never appear.
On second thought, the message left by Captain Feng before his death only mentioned that the place where the Divine Brush Painting Gate opens is the entrance to the "Dixian Tomb", but this is the "entrance" left to the descendants of the Feng family, maybe It is not hidden in front of the "tomb gate" of the ancient tomb, but unconventionally hidden outside the ancient tomb.
The interior of the "Coffin Gorge" mountain is full of natural caves and mines.
Even if this cave really leads to the ancient tomb, who knows?
How many miles does it take to get there.
Just when I thought of this, I suddenly heard the sound of water in front of me increasing.
After turning a corner in the natural tunnel inside the mountain, the grotto suddenly became open.
The cave was filled with a large amount of groundwater.
The dark water surface was glowing with scales, and the water exposed There are clusters of stalagmite-like rock pillars, and the way forward is blocked by the lake deep underground.
Although we can't see what's going on far away on the lake, we can tell from the sound that there may be waterfalls or springs at the far end of the underground lake, which are constantly pouring the Yin River into the lake area.
The waves look flat like a mirror from a distance, and the bottom of the lake is a stagnant pool, filled from above.
The incoming groundwater is discharged through the caves surrounding the pool.
The stone steps in the cave were submerged in the water, and there were no roads to go around.
The only way forward was to wade through the water.
The fat man threw stones to test the depth of the lake, then rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs to get ready to enter the water.
Professor Sun said to me from the side: "We have to swim across.
I don't know how to swim."
I said awkwardly: "Master Jiu, you are a landlubber, why didn't you tell me earlier?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Why don't you discuss it with Fatty Wang?
He has more meat and is more buoyant.
Maybe he can take you to swim there."
How could a fat man be willing to take on such a hard job?
But whenever he had the opportunity, he would flaunt himself as usual: "Fat Master, I am just a brick in the construction of the four modernizations.
Wherever is needed, Lei Feng has to be carried across the river on his back.
Let's carry Master Jiu to swim."
What's the matter?"
Then he changed his subject: "It's just a matter of life.
To be honest, I'm a swimmer.
My skills have really declined recently.
Mr.
Sun Jiu, look at this underground lake.
The water is so deep that you can’t even touch the bottom.
We’re halfway through the swim.
If we encounter a water ghost emerging from the water and grabbing someone’s ankles, what’s the point?
But don’t blame me for being dishonest.
At that time, we can only take care of ourselves, so I have to ask you in advance whether you plan to eat wontons or flat noodles.”
Professor Sun said angrily: "What are wontons and noodles?
If you plan to throw me halfway into the river, you are calling it a killing."
The fat man said: "Fat man, I am an upright and honest man.
Let me tell you in advance that people in the dark do not do secret things.
This lake is cold and deep.
There may be dangers under the water.
If you are willing to let the water ghost drag If you go into the water as a substitute, I will give you a knife in the heart of your old man in advance, and then I will escape.
It is better than both of us dying in the water.
The fat man has tried so hard to follow others, why don't you Do you understand?”
When Professor Sun was timid and embarrassed in front of the underground lake, Shiry Yang said to me: "We don't have airbags, swimming with heavy weight is not an option, and Yaomei'er can't swim.
If we really want to swim across this water, we can only Leave her with Professor Sun, or find a way to find a vehicle that can cross the water."
In fact, I was very aware of the unknown situation under the water, and had no intention of swimming directly.
I used the light of the flashlight to search nearby.
When the beam flickered, I saw some vague and mottled paintings on the rock wall.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be similar to " Related to the legend of "Wuyang King Tomb" According to Professor Sun's analysis, the figure described as the "King of Wuyang" by folklore may be the "King of Longchuan".
Let's call it "King of Wuling" according to folklore.
In the "Coffin Gorge" In the Pianling District, various relics of the ancient tomb of King Wuling of Yishan can be seen everywhere.
I saw that most of the petroglyphs that had fallen off were mostly execution scenes, depicting various torture methods such as "cutting in half and dismembering the body."
I thought to myself, this is strange.
Could it be that this underground water hole does not lead to an ancient tomb?
It's an ancient "execution ground" Thinking about it carefully, it may not be possible.
According to the description of the ancient burial system in the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique, there was a kind of tomb in the Bashu Wuchu area, that is, Sichuan and Hubei areas, in ancient times, which adopted a rare master-slave laminated structure. , There are two types of burials: "accompanying" and "martialing".
Most of the people buried as victims are people with relatively low social status, such as "slaves, craftsmen, and prisoners."
They will be buried together with the livestock and spirit animals when the tomb owner is buried.
Executed or buried alive.
In master-slave stacked tombs, the place where the bones of these martyrs are buried is called a "mass burial cave".
There are usually eighteen caves for mixed burials, so it is also called "eighteen mass burials".

The main structure of the ancient tomb is It should be built on a central axis, and the best part of the ground should be taken to build the underground coffin chamber and the Hades Hall.
As the "Eighteen Mass Burial Cave" for the burial of martyrs, it would be buried under the tomb passage and coffin chamber.
The Feng Shui situation is ever-changing.
The master-slave tombs generally have the Yin River running through them from the bottom.
As mentioned in the Book of Changes, "the dragon leaps over the abyss."
The aura of the mountains and rivers in this "Dragon Tower Hall" rises and entwines from the bottom up. , the mass burial cave below the ancient tomb is a dangerous cave.
Judging from what you can see in front of you, the "Guanshan Taibao" left a road in the eighteen mass burials.
If you want to enter the ancient tomb above, you can only go through the Yin River.
Cross the water.
There are a total of eighteen mass burial caves.
Most of the areas near the caves where the underground lake collects water are used to bury "criminals and captives."
I asked Professor Sun to come over and have a look and asked him if this was possible.
Professor Sun never jumped to conclusions due to personal habits.
At this time, he said that what I said was reasonable.
This system did exist in ancient times.
Although no one has ever excavated such tombs, there is a lot of evidence in historical materials that can be used as a basis.
If you can find a large number of bones of buried prisoners, there will be no mistakes.
So we continued to search along the rocks beside the water, and found many cracks on the cave wall.
There were scattered human bone residues inside.
Only the teeth and skulls could be identified.
There were also strings of shackles and chains connected with each other.
Come and collect the prisoners in rows and build them into one place.
The "Eighteen Mass Burials" are a place where grave robbers do not attack.
There are no valuable weapons.
Maybe the "Guanshan Taibao" has not touched the bones of these prisoners. , only eaten by insects and rats.
Based on a rough estimate based on the scale of the terrain, there are at least a thousand corpses buried in the dozens of rock crevices in the mass grave caves.
There are also dozens of simple pine coffins lying horizontally and vertically on the ground, and they are all tied to the coffins.
The chain seems to have been condensed deep in the rock crevice, and it has not yet been dispersed.
When a living person comes closer, you can't help but feel a chill in your heart.
Although Yao Meier was extremely courageous, she still felt a little scared when she saw the terrifying situation and asked me if there were any ghosts in the world.
I saw that the cave was filled with the bones of the undertakers, and I guessed that this time I had really entered the lowest level of the ancient tomb.
When I was inferring the specific structure of the ancient tomb in my mind, Yao Meier suddenly asked me this question.
I wonder why people who are new to kick-fighting will have this question.
I remember when we were in Nanhai, Guchai also asked Uncle Ming this question, but I didn’t answer like Uncle Ming.
I told Yao Meier that there was nothing wrong.
I'm afraid, no matter whether there are ghosts or not, I can't prove it to you now.
Everything in this world is unpredictable and weird. 1.
There are often earth-shaking and bizarre things in unexpected places.
Even if you don’t see it with your own eyes, it’s hard for you to believe it when others say it in vain.
But why do people in the world often say that ghosts and gods are different?
I think it’s all because people’s hearts are unfair.
If There is really no such thing as bullying and injustice in the world.
Even if there are ghosts everywhere, what is there to be afraid of?
When I said this, I suddenly felt emotion in my heart and laughed at myself: "We are like people who have no way to go to heaven, and there is no way to hell.
We can't live a good life, but we travel through mountains and rivers, racking our brains to get into the ancient tombs of Dixian Village."

Place, deep down in my heart I actually feel that this kind of action is particularly refreshing, am I a bit addicted to fighting back and forth?"
The fat man complained: "Old Hu, you are so stupid.
I have told you so many times before that you should not pursue the revisionist line of inversion for the time being.
If there is a ghost, there will be a ghost.
I am afraid that it will only attract birds and I will not be able to devote myself to my career."
"How can we say that we are addicted?
To say so is really sorry for our enthusiasm for the gold-financing business," he said.
He shined a flashlight into the mass grave and said, "Look, isn't there a coffin?
The coffin has a thick and wide lid.
It floats when it hits the water.
I think it can be used as a assault boat."
As he spoke, he jumped into the rocks. , I went to dig through those old and broken pine coffins, hoping to dismantle a few pieces to build a raft and use local materials.
It was better than going back to the gorge to move the hanging coffins.
In the coffins near the prisoners' bones, most of the corpses were nobles with status among the prisoners.
However, as those who were buried as martyrs, they did not get any preferential treatment.
Those ancient pine coffins were extremely simple and had been entangled with chains for many years.
It falls apart, and there is no intact coffin board available.
The fat man kicked several thin-skinned pine coffins to pieces one after another.
When he was able to crowd around others, he kept talking.
He asked Professor Sun as if he was looking for something to do, what would he do if he didn't have a suitable coffin to make an "assault boat"?
Professor Sun didn't seem to hear what he said.
He didn't get angry and said casually: "Well, this laminated burial cave is a mixed burial area.
The coffin presses the body, and the bones are buried in the coffin.
When I used to work in Henan, During an excavation, I saw rectangular wooden piles at the bottom of the burial cave.”
I looked on with cold eyes, thinking that Mr.
Sun Jiu had spent the rest of his life on searching for the Book of Heaven in the tomb.
He made a desperate move and decided whether to win or lose.
He actually turned a blind eye to the fat man's actions.
Only one eye, most of the time before, he simply pretended to see At this time, I even hinted to the fat man to go to the mass burial cave to find well-preserved wood at the remains of the bones.
I couldn't help but secretly cursed this guy for being a "fake Taoist".
Although I sympathized with the ups and downs he had encountered in his life, But he couldn't help but underestimate his character a little bit.
The fat man rummaged around on the ground for a while, but he didn't see any wooden stakes.
Instead, he found six or seven red coffins with "cinnabar lacquer and solid gold".
They were also wrapped with iron ropes.
The coffins were decorated with secret-colored shells and depicted a child born with a steel beard.
God, holding half a bloody evil ghost in his mouth, eating roast chicken It looked very bloody and cruel.
Looking at the shape of the lacquered coffins, they were all coffins from around the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
Everyone felt that this was strange.
How could there be hidden things under the mass grave of the prisoners in the Wuyang King Ancient Tomb?
I don’t know what’s weird about the Ming Dynasty lacquer coffin.
Could it be that Feng Shi of Dixian Village was buried here in ancient times?
Professor Sun jumped down and took a look, and said that the bottom of the mass grave had been changed into a "tomb well", which was a custom in the Ming Dynasty.
This "well" was different from the "well" in the Jinjing and Jade Burials, and the shape was not a "well", but it just meant It means "bury directly without burial", because the Ming Dynasty continued the Yuan Dynasty's There is a system of living martyrs, so the people buried in the "tomb well" must have been martyred alive.
You see, these red lacquer coffins are all painted with "Zhong Kui eats ghosts".
These are used to suppress ghosts.

I don't know if they are given to "earth immortals" All the people were buried alive, but in all likelihood, they were all suffocated to death in the coffin.
I nodded and said: "The old site of this tomb has been occupied by Guanshan Taibao.
Master Feng was good at numerology in ancient times.
He must have followed the ancient Feng Shui method and still nailed the living people in the coffin and buried them here.
He refused to use the mausoleum area."
There is no trace of wind and dew inside, and the red lacquer coffin is well preserved, so we can use it as a vehicle to cross the water."
Floating coffins is originally an activity performed by the Western Hunan Pavilion, commonly known as "carrying up the sedan chair."
I once heard a similar legend told by Blind Man Chen.
The coffins wrapped in several layers of vermilion lacquer are all watertight and seamless, leaving no seams.
It is to prevent ghosts from coming out and killing living people If you are locked in it and die of suffocation, there will naturally be resentment in the coffin, so it floats but does not sink.
However, these are all folk sayings.
In fact, the so-called "coffin hiding ghosts can cross the Yin River" phenomenon is mostly It is related to the filling of rotten air in the coffin.
At this time, it was very time-consuming and labor-intensive to dismantle the coffin boards.
It was better to use the method of lifting a sedan chair and use the coffin as an "assault boat" to cross the water.
Everyone had no other choice but to follow the ancient method.
If it can't be done, there is no guarantee that the vermilion lacquered coffin will It is heavy.
This is called "dead and heavy".
The dead people who "die without transformation" have all their Qi blocked and are far heavier than the living.
However, there is a saying that "folk remedies can cure serious diseases".
Sometimes the folk methods do not believe it.
It really didn't work.
After dragging it into the water, the coffin refused to sink.
Speaking of these folk remedies, many of them were spread from some religious sects in the old society.
Those "taobaos and mistresses" who acted as magic sticks in those days often used them to fool the people, but they are really effective here.
And effective Like a god, for example, if you are blinded by the wind, if there is sand in your eyes, you can spit immediately and you will be back to normal immediately; another example is "hiccups", you can drink seven sips of water in one breath and you will be cured.
It doesn't matter if you drink more or less water, it just doesn't work.
Seven sips of water is enough.
The folk remedies of these " Taibao and Shi Niang" are difficult to explain in modern medicine.
Even they themselves may not know the reason.
They only speculate that it is a wonderful method passed down by the immortal family to help the world.
After liberation, it was not included in the training manual of barefoot doctors.
If I don’t prescribe these folk remedies, I will never There are all kinds of strange "local methods", so I was more confident about crossing the water with a ringing sedan chair, so I jumped on it first to test the buoyancy.
Although the coffin was not much wider than the canoe, the water flow in the underground lake was stable, so I rode on it.
Paddling forward is not difficult.
One lacquer coffin was not enough for five people, so another one was dragged into the water.
Shiry Yang and I took one of the coffins, and the other three people lay on the other coffin.
No one had ever experienced crossing the water in a coffin.
Experience There is no way to talk about it, that is, relying on the courage of many people, otherwise, who would have the courage to cross the Sheyin River in a coffin containing ancient corpses and ghosts alone?
I think I am just thinking.
He is brave and courageous, but from time to time he has an illusion in his subconscious mind.
He always feels that something is moving in the coffin beneath him.
Occasionally, a fish will flip out of the water near the lacquered coffin, making a soft "wow" sound, and there will be ghost fire on the water.
Drifting, it was like entering the ghostly River Styx.
In this weird and unpredictable atmosphere, the surrounding darkness seemed even more dangerous, and I couldn't help but feel my heart in my throat.
Everyone used engineering shovels to paddle through the water, looking for the sound of water and moving forward.

The two lacquered coffins were still floating very steadily for a while.
Suddenly, they saw a will-o'-the-wisp flickering violently dozens of meters away.
In the pale light and shadow, a piece of black fish spine could be vaguely seen. wing-like The thing, the surface of the underground lake also looks dark, but there are many bright spots on the thing, like it has thousands of eyes.
It is floating on the water at the moment, and the "floating coffin and sedan chair" supported by the three fat men Getting closer.
The fat man stretched his neck and raised the flashlight to look at it to see what was in the water.
I wanted to remind him to be careful.
But before I could say anything, I saw the thing suddenly jump out of the water and into the air
