People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 310 Temple

Then a few people tacitly made jokes, causing the crooked building to completely go astray, and the quarrel was ignored.

After taking a short rest, everyone continued to move deeper into the Worm Valley.

As they continued to go deeper, more and more traces were left by humans, and from time to time they could see some collapsed stone statues, stone figures and other objects.

These are obviously stone carvings on both sides of the shrine to the king's tomb. From this, we can see that the basic system of the king's tomb is the same as that of other royal tombs. The shrine in front of the tomb was specially built for future generations to go to the Minglou to worship and worship.

"King Xian may not have thought that not long after his death, his territorial subjects, including his hometown of the ancient Dian Kingdom, would be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. This also led to him spending a lot of manpower and material resources and racking his brains to build the royal tombs

, can only be sealed in the dust in the depths of this dark valley." Seeing these stone carvings, Hu Bayi said with some regret.

Wang Kaixuan answered: "What you said is wrong. Aren't there still people like us who are so warm-hearted and come to visit us despite all the difficulties and dangers?"

Hu Bayixin said, "Everyone knows what you are doing, so why visit you?"

But he didn't say this, because everyone was in the same boat, so why should the boss embarrass the second one?

After walking for three or four hours, they came to the ruins of a broken wall. Not surprisingly, this was the legendary first embankment wall.

But now there is only more than three meters of rammed earth stone platform left, about two meters high. It is covered with overgrown weeds. It does not look like a city wall, but more like a green mound.

The wreckage was mixed in the jungle in the deep valley. If they hadn't been careful, they would have passed by it.

In order to further confirm that this was the embankment wall, Hu Bayi stepped forward and swept it twice with an engineer shovel, trying to clear away the weeds and green moss so that he could see more clearly.

But I didn't expect that this sweep would not matter. Hundreds of small tree lizards the size of fingers emerged from the cracks in the ruins.

The body surface of these little guys is green. If you don't look at the blood-red eyes and tongues, they are exactly the same as the surrounding plants.

So many tree lizards came out, which shocked everyone. Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, who were closer, picked up the things in their hands and slapped them, turning many small tree lizards into flesh.

cake.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ziyan quickly went up to hold the two of them down and said, "Okay, these little things don't hurt anyone, so there's no need to fight with them."

This thing is probably at the bottom of the valley, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it, and the strong smell of blood may cause unnecessary trouble.

"Look!"

After Chen Ziyan comforted the two of them, he turned his head and heard Shirley Yang's voice.

Following Shirley Yang's line of sight, they discovered that the panicked little tree lizards' escape route was very strange.

Centered around their location, almost all the little tree lizards fled towards the outside of the valley. The remaining ones climbed up the rock walls on both sides, but none of them went deeper into the valley.

It was as if there was some terrifying existence in there, so that the creatures living in the valley did not dare to take a step beyond the boundaries.

Ding Sitian thought for a while and said: "It's like the depths of the valley are a place of death. The perception of animals is much more sensitive than that of humans. It must be very dangerous here."

Hu Bayi climbed onto the rammed earth stone platform in front of him, stood on it and looked into the valley, hoping to use the height to see what was going on inside.

Wang Kaixuan guessed: "Is it the poisonous miasma here?"

He felt that to be able to make animals so afraid, he must be the type that would ignore all relatives and attack indiscriminately.

Chen Ziyan recalled for a while, and felt that it was almost time to arrive, so he said: "What the fat man said is very possible. Looking at the situation here, we can see that there are already very few insects. It is estimated that there will be even fewer inside. This means that there are probably

Toxic substances, for the sake of safety, we will ensure safety for the rest of the journey."

He didn't say anything about being prepared at any time. When faced with this kind of thing, he tended to take precautions in advance.

No matter how thorough you prepare in advance, you may not be able to deal with emergencies in time.

No one has any objection to this. Although everyone is not afraid of death, who would not cherish their own life?

Hu Bayi used the compass to make some calculations, and after determining the direction of their next advance, they headed towards the left side of the remaining wall.

The valley inside is much wider than in the front, and it is no longer possible to have a sweeping view like before.

After advancing nearly a hundred meters, they saw a section of ground that was completely bare, which was extremely unusual in this valley covered with vines.

"I think I know why those snakes, insects, rats, and ants dare not come over." Hu Bayi stared at the ground for a while and said thoughtfully.

"Do you think this is the insect-breaking path?" Shirley Yang also understood this and asked after hearing this.

"Let's see." Hu Bayi did not give an accurate answer. Instead, he squatted down and dug a shallow pit with an engineering shovel, hoping to check the material structure in the soil.

The insect barrier is a device designed to prevent insects and ants from damaging the mausoleum.

The main method is to bury long-lasting insect repellent secret medicine near the main tomb. Generally speaking, mercury and sulfur are buried, and poisonous ma powder, Xun Scutellaria, Lazy Bodhi and other substances are also added to mix, so that the insects can be repelled.

The effect lasts for thousands of years.

This kind of setting is most common in the tombs of emperors in the Han Dynasty, and the most typical one is Maoling.

"But this place should be far away from King Xian's tomb. How come there is an insect-breaking tunnel?" Ding Sitian asked in confusion.

She didn't know much about the Broken Insect Path, but she knew it was far away from King Xian's Tomb.

Hu Bayi thought for a while and replied: "From what we saw along the way, we can see that King Xian is proficient in thaumaturgy and is also good at transforming Feng Shui patterns. And such a large-scale tomb requires more than just the layout of the main tomb.

, the same is true for the nearby auxiliary points."

"If the star position of these auxiliary points is changed well, it will definitely have the effect of a tiger adding wings to the main tomb, and a dragon entering the water."

Hearing this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but said: "Although King Xian behaves in a disgraceful way, his Feng Shui attainments are still very impressive."

Hu Ba nodded: "In the secret art of Feng Shui since ancient times, the most difficult thing is to change the pattern. This requires a macroscopic understanding of the heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and the changes of stars. Moreover, the workload of this kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do.

Yes, only those powerful princes who have separated themselves from one side have the strength to carry out such large-scale construction projects."

The "Hua" scroll in his family's "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" describes the art of changing wind and water. Among them, the "Yi Long Jing" records that the dragon veins in the world change the situation and change the situation.

To change wind or water, you need to activate at least nine related acupuncture points around the earth meridians.

Only by transforming all nine acupuncture points can we ensure that the Feng Shui barrier is tightly protected and the acupuncture points are unbreakable for thousands of years.

"The others cannot be seen for the time being, but the nine-turn loop towards the mountain bank is very clear." Hu Bayi briefly explained the key points here and made this conclusion.

Chen Ziyan nodded slightly. He was only half-informed about these things. He could understand most of Hu Bayi's professional terminology, but if he had to look at it, he couldn't see any Feng Shui tactic.

But he knew that Hu Bayi had figured out something through this broken worm path, so he asked: "Old Hu, what do you think of the Feng Shui of this worm valley now?"

"It stretches and twists and turns. In its deep place, the mountains on both sides are confusing. The 'water dragon vein' that originally runs through the valley will appear to be indifferent between the subject and the object. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. It is suspected of overshadowing the guest and taking over the host. It is like a lowly person sitting in a well and observing the sky. The weather

There is no dignity but a humble attitude, but King Xian reconstructed a nine-turn loop towards the mountain bank at the lock of the dragon vein, which can be said to have changed the world in an instant!" Hu Bayi said at the end, deep in his eyes.

Full of wonder.

This method is really impressive!

Wang Kaixuan was very confused after hearing this, shook his head and asked: "Old Hu, could you please stop using these professional words and just tell us where we should go next."

Regarding Wang Kaixuan's words, Hu Bayi was not annoyed, and just said: "I didn't think of it before, but after seeing this broken insect road, I am 80% sure that there must be nine similar ones in this valley.

Buildings such as shrines, ancestral halls or temples, and the toad symbol we are looking for is one of them."

Wang Kaixuan heard it clearly this time and immediately said: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find it."

He felt that instead of analyzing it here, it would be better to confirm it on the spot. As long as the toad symbol really corresponds to a certain building, then it would confirm Hu Bayi's words.

Wang Kaixuan's words were rough and unreasonable, so everyone agreed. The facts are more effective than anything else.

After leaving the first insect-breaking path, they soon discovered the second and third insect-breaking path.

After all, the vegetation in this deep valley is dense, and the surface of this insect tunnel is barren. It can be seen at a glance, so it is not difficult to find it.

When we reach the third insect-breaking road, the terrain of the valley is extremely open. From this, we can see that the insect valley is in the shape of a trumpet.

But when they got here, they had to be more careful, because there was already a looming light smoke and mist in front of them.

Fortunately, everyone is wearing protective clothing, so there is no need to pay too much attention to these.

The deeper you go, the thicker the white mist becomes and the lower the visibility becomes.

What's more important is that there is a dead silence in the depths of the white mist. Not only are there no birds or insects, but even the vegetation has begun to become sparse.

This shows that they are now very close to the location of the poisonous miasma.

Wang Kaixuan glanced at the invisible miasma in front of him and said, "How about we just ignore him and rush over to him? Since we are wearing protective clothing anyway, even if the miasma is really poisonous, it won't be able to do anything to us.

"

Seeing that the visibility here was getting lower and lower, he gave up hope of finding the temple site.

Hu Bayi couldn't help but said: "I wonder if there is a missing string in your mind? Let's not talk about how wide the scope of the poisonous miasma is. What if the poisonous miasma is corrosive? Our protective clothing is not enough.

No matter how powerful you are, there will be a moment when you can't resist it anymore, and then I'm afraid you won't be able to run away even if you want to."

There is another point that Hu Bayi did not mention, that is, they are all human beings. As human beings, they have to eat, drink, and defecate. They cannot do these things in a poisonous miasma. These are all points that need to be considered.

After hearing what he said, Wang Kaixuan also knew that his method was unreliable, so he had no choice but to walk in front and stop talking.

At this time, they had arrived at the foot of the mountain on the left side of the valley.

This place is already some distance away from Snake Creek, almost in the middle of the three insect-breaking roads.

While everyone was marching, suddenly a bush next to them started to move automatically without any wind.

When something like this happened at this time, it immediately aroused everyone's vigilance. Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan even cocked their guns. It seemed that they would shoot directly if there was any situation.

However, Shirley Yang stopped everyone after taking a closer look and said: "This should be dancing grass. It is a very unique plant. It usually looks listless, but once there are creatures passing by nearby, it will show off.

He dances and has the ability to move when he hears the sound, and does no harm to people."

And after she finished speaking, the large piece of dancing grass began to tremble as if in response.

But as they shook, they slowly separated into two clusters, revealing half of a large fiery red gourd in the middle.

When everyone took a closer look, they discovered that the flaming red gourd should be carved from stone. It was more than one meter tall, smooth and brightly colored, as if it had just been completed.

Wang Kaixuan saw that the gourd was not only very vivid in shape but also so bright in color. He couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He walked to the side and made a mark, apparently intending to take it away if he had the chance.

Chen Ziyan didn't say anything after seeing it. He was also very interested in the gourd and it would be great if he could take it back.

But before Wang Kaixuan finished painting, he suddenly exclaimed: "Come and see!"

Everyone hurriedly walked to him and looked in the direction he pointed. They saw that opposite the gourd, there was a temple covered with rattan.

This temple built on the mountain seems to be a mountain temple, and the location it was built should be the central axis of the mountain peak behind it. However, it now looks extremely dilapidated after time.

It can be said that it is a miracle that the wooden frame, which has long been in decay, has not collapsed until now.

"Hey, what do you mean by the big gourd in front of this temple?" Wang Kaixuan asked curiously as he looked back and forth between the flaming gourd and the mountain temple.

"It may have something to do with the mountain gods. In ancient times, many people believed in the Five Elements. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth all have gods in charge. The same is true for mountains, rivers, and rivers." Chen Ziyan answered simply.

This kind of question requires consideration of many factors, but the answer is inseparable from what he said.

Wang Kaixuan nodded: "Oh, that's right."

Without lingering too much on this topic, several people stepped inside after seeing that although the temple was in danger, there was no sign of collapse.

However, in order to prevent any living beings from being stored inside, everyone did not swarm in, but were very vigilant and divided into several waves.

According to the information they received, there is probably an entrance here, which can lead to the entrance of a secret passage to King Xian's tomb.

This was also the reason why they were specifically looking for this place, so they had to go inside and search.

But you won’t enter indiscriminately, your own safety is more important.
