Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Moreover, the tomb chamber fell from a high altitude, and the internal architecture has long been changed beyond recognition. The original tomb door and tomb passage have been blocked by rubble. On the contrary, several large holes have been broken in the thick tomb wall. Everything cannot be judged based on past experience. I can't help but add more... With great caution, he turned on the lantern and jumped down the tomb passage first.

Partridge Whistle felt that the bricks and stones were loose where it landed, and the walls were trembling slightly. He knew that the huge rock was hanging in the cave, and the bottom was not falling. If the surrounding trees and rocks could not support the weight, it would continue to fall. , at this time, walking through the tomb and entering the Yiren Ancestral Cave, it was like a thousand sharp swords hanging above the head, which could be chopped down at any time.

But Partridge Whistle was also an expert and brave man, so he did not take these dangers to heart. He raised his hand to catch the red girl who was following behind, and whispered to her: "The huge rock of Pingshan is hanging in the air, and it can be moved by the wind. When you move around in the tomb, you must be careful."

Miss Hong nodded in agreement, and the two of them climbed on the broken and collapsed wall of the tomb passage carefully, as if they were wading into a dangerous icy abyss. They did not dare to use any force while moving down step by step. In this way, the rubble and bricks still fell when they hit it.

At this time, most of the "pin machines" in the tomb had been destroyed, and none of them could be used. The two turned around several fallen stone beams, went down through the cracks in the broken bricks, and found the door of the tomb at their feet.

In the heart of Pingshan Mountain, there are "city gate, urn city, figurines and Dao Dan Palace, and back hall" in sequence. They are built in a stepped shape. His Highness Wuliang Dan Palace is a secret cave for refining elixirs and hiding medicines. The bandits who moved mountains and unloaded mountains first saw this "Dan Palace" The overall view is majestic and majestic, no different from the inner gardens of ancient palaces. I thought that the tomb of General Yuan must be hidden among the layers of palaces, but they ignored that there was also a relatively independent palace hidden on the top of the mountain.

At this time, Partridge Whistle stepped on the palace door on the top of the mountain. He felt that this situation was extremely strange. The reference objects were all tilted and toppled. The original ground and roof were now in front of and behind him. , as if the world was upside down, and my own center of gravity was also unstable due to this illusion.

He hurriedly hugged the large fallen stone tablet in front of the palace gate, gathered his mind, and gradually adapted to this strange environment. Within reach, the tablet was full of convex and convex words. Partridge Whistle and Red Girl took a look under the lantern. , seeing the ancient words in the inscriptions, they seem to be the content of ancient emperors praying to heaven and earth for elixirs. It is estimated that the main hall on the top of the mountain, which was used as a tomb, was once a secret hall used to store the golden elixirs refined by warlocks, but unexpectedly the elixirs were The palace has never been able to refine the golden elixir, because no emperor in the past dynasties has lived longer than a hundred years old by taking the elixir.

When I looked at it, the door of the palace had long since flown away. The beams and pillars inside had fallen down, sealing the door. But half of the roof of the palace had been uncovered. The darkness inside seemed to be extremely deep. I could faintly hear the cry of apes below. With the screams, it seemed that the old ape was trapped below and couldn't escape. He wanted to call his fellow monkeys to come to rescue him, but he didn't expect that all the monkeys in the mountain had their galls broken by the partridge whistle and escaped far into the depths of the dense forest. I don’t dare to come out anymore.

Partridge Whistle thought that since the old monkey was not dead, there must be no miasma and poisonous gas in the ancestral cave tomb, and he would be defenseless if he went down. He and Miss Hong were eager to save people, regardless of the danger that the palace pavilion might collapse at any time and bury them alive. Climb the beam and hug the pillar to climb down from the big hole.

The tomb chamber is divided into two parts, front and back. The front hall is small, but the back hall is extremely wide. The walls at the back of the hall are broken. The purple gold coffin was thrown out from there. Most of the bright objects buried in the hall were broken into pieces. Ceramic tiles and stones are mixed together, and only the gables on both sides are relatively complete. The walls are colorful and full of murals. Under the dim light of the horse lanterns, the characters in the paintings are lifelike. Most of them are dressed in velvet and wearing helmets. of marching.

Partridge Whistle and Red Girl didn't care about these murals in the tomb. No matter how powerful the general was during his lifetime, he would still die in the end. "Your body and life will be destroyed, and the eternal flow of the river will not be wasted." Those who robber tombs and fight against each other, Who would care about the deeds of the ancient corpse in life, but under the sweep of the light, Partridge Whistle suddenly saw a bead in the mural that looked like a human eye. Just this one sight made Partridge Whistle's heart surge with blood.

Taoist Banshan excavated the ancient tomb in order to find a bead. The bead has an extraordinary origin. It is unknown whether it was the condensation of the inner elixir of ancient creatures or the creation of heaven and earth. Its shape and color are no different from the human eye. It is said that it is hidden in a tomb somewhere in the world. The ancient corpse inside called it "Muchen Pearl", also known as "Phoenix Dangers".

Thousands of years have passed easily, but ancient curses cannot be eradicated. The Taoist monks of Bashan have been robbing tombs for generations, and no one knows how many lives they have lost for this. Even the shadow of the bead has not been seen at all. On the contrary, the population has withered, and it may be extinct in less than a hundred years. Partridge Whistle made a great wish to find this incense, even if it cost him his body and bones, but he didn't expect to see it in an ancient tomb that was turned upside down. How could he not be frightened?

In order to see more clearly, Partridge Whistle hung his legs on a coiled dragon holding pillar to stabilize his figure. He was as light as a swallow and hung across the palace pillars with a lantern to watch. It turned out that the ancient murals in the palace were exactly It records the deeds of the ancient corpse in the purple gold coffin. Its name is difficult to verify from the murals. It can only be speculated that this person was from the Western Regions and had many military exploits. After the Mongols destroyed Xixia, they learned that there was a rare treasure hidden in the Xixia palace, so he was ordered to steal it. In order to find the Muchen Bead in the royal mausoleum of the Western Xia Dynasty, I dug several tombs, but never found it.

Later, I finally learned that the Phoenix Gallbladder was hidden in the Tongtian Grand Buddhist Temple in Heishui City, Western Xia. However, the historical sites of Heishui City had long been buried by yellow sand. There were no signs in the vast sand and grass. It was difficult to find traces of the temple not far from the city. It was also time for the army to march south. It was necessary to Only by pacifying the Dongyi rebellion can this matter be put to rest.

The murals on the pediment behind were peeled off and broken, and they were no longer recognizable. The Partridge Whistle almost wanted to spurt blood from its eyes. It wished it had wings on its ribs and immediately flew to Heishui City in Xixia to dig out the ancient temple buried in the desert. I thought that the ancestor of Zagrama, who believed in the only all-knowing and all-powerful true god, appeared, and the clues that had been intermittent for thousands of years finally became clear before my eyes.

He also lamented that his junior brothers and sisters did not know the news before they died. He accompanied Chen Xiazi, the leader of the Xiling bandits, to rob the tomb in Pingshan. They went through life and death several times. The crime he committed almost cost him his life and fortune here, but being able to get this clue in the ancient tomb made it really worth going through these hardships and dangers.

Partridge Whistle's mind was filled with thoughts. He was sometimes happy, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes sad, and sometimes lost. He completely forgot where he was, and he was even more worried about whether the incident in Blackwater City in Xixia was true or false.

Miss Hong was about to pass through the tomb and go down to the bottom of the cave, but she saw Partridge Whistle hanging in the air as if he had lost his mind, staring at the gable wall motionless. She was startled and hurriedly shook his arm.

Partridge Whistle was gently pushed by her, and then he came back to his senses. Although he was in a flood of emotions that could not calm down for a long time, he had already made up his mind. The matter of tomb robbing in Pingshan must be put to an end first. The loyalty of the people who made a pact with the bandits in Xiiling was followed by a trip to the desert alone, and he would not give up until he dug out the Tongtian Buddhist Temple in Heishui City.

The red girl asked curiously: "You were gnashing your teeth just now with a murderous look on your face. Why are you so cruel to the mural?"

Partridge Whistle knew that if Miss Hong knew the truth, she would definitely go with him to Blackwater City regardless of comfort. He was used to walking alone. How many people in the world today could compare with Partridge Whistle in terms of skill and courage? Although others were kind-hearted in helping, they only added burdens out of thin air, so they had no choice but to hide the matter from Miss Hong and just said: "I was trying to survive in the alchemy well, and I swallowed the inner elixir of a six-winged centipede. I just felt a headache and was in a daze, thinking that the power of the elixir has not dissipated, but it doesn't matter now, the life or death of the caveman is uncertain, so you and I should go find him quickly."

Miss Hong said: "That's right. I think that although the guide to the cave is timid, he is also a smart and smart person. He doesn't look like a life-threatening person who died violently. Maybe he can be saved at this moment." In his voice, She had already passed through the broken wall at the back of the tomb and climbed to the bottom of the cave nimbly.

Partridge Whistle saw that she was very impatient, and was afraid that she might make a mistake in front of her, so he hurriedly followed her. Under the tomb wall at the bottom, there were crisscrossing roots of ancient trees, and there were many thick timbers that were rare in the original forest. There are horizontal and vertical timbers, and there are many natural tree holes on each side. The diameter is the size of a vegetable basket and several feet deep, just enough to accommodate a corpse.

From the perspective of tomb robbing experts like Partridge Shao, this ancient Yizu Cave is a veritable "box tomb" with multiple corpses in one tomb. There are tomb holes without coffins. Each corpse is relatively isolated, and the tomb holes are densely packed, like traditional Chinese medicine. Cabinets lined with medicine boxes in the shop.

In ancient times, the Yi people lived in caves, so they were also called cave people. Although there was an order of hierarchy among them, with cave masters at the top and cave slaves at the bottom, their living conditions were primitive and simple. Their tombs were often buried in "box tombs" where the corpses were buried together. They would wear some ornaments that were commonly used during their lifetime, and they would not wear gold or jade utensils. There was never a custom of lavish burials. The tombs in cliff caves in the Yangtze River Basin are actually similar to this.

It was not until later that the chieftains established by the court government gradually started to bury people with thick coffins and coffins. Therefore, there is a saying in the tomb robbing industry: "vertical burial pits, box tombs, moving mountains and unloading ridges to go around", because all box tombs are caves There is nothing to search for in the place where Yi hides his bones, and even if he sees it, he will not dig it out.

Partridge Whistle and Miss Hong arrived at the cave. They looked around with a lantern and a gun. They saw wormhole-like tombs everywhere. There were still corpses and withered bones inside, and spider webs and mushrooms were scattered all over them. The gloomy stench made people nauseous, and they fell down. The trees, earth and rocks that came in were piled up like mountains. It was impossible to see where the Zijin Coffin and Dongmanzi had fallen, and the mournful ape was silent as well.
