In the Book of Mountains and Seas and Huainanzi, the top ten mythical beasts in ancient times are monsters in myths and legends. These ten kinds of mythical beasts are Baize, Kui, Phoenix, Qilin, Yatou, Xiezhi, Yu, Chongmingbird, Bi Fang, Taotie, Philip, Zhu Qian, Chaos, Qingji, Qinglong.
Legend has it that Yutu was originally just a frightening and disgusting villain, a kind of beast in ancient legends. Legend has it that he was one of the "four evils" in ancient times. And this resentment turned into a 'tiger shaped like a tiger with dog hair, two feet long, a human face, tiger feet, a pig's mouth and teeth, and a tail that was one zhang and eight chi long, chaotic in the wasteland'.
The animal bones mentioned in Su Jingmo's tomb are the bones of this twig, and it is what so many people have wanted to snatch for thousands of years.
It is ferocious and sinister, but it also has extraordinary ability. It is said that smashing and swallowing all the bones of the scorpion can protect people from death and life and death, but too many people do not believe in fate and want to live longer and longer. For a long time, immortality has a fatal attraction to people, which is what many people dream of.
But there is only one Yutu, and his skeleton is divided into countless pieces scattered all over the world, and no one has been able to piece it together for thousands of years.
Even the tau bones in Su Jingmo's tomb are only part of it...
Thinking of what happened before his death because of this tatami bone, Su Jingmo chuckled lightly: "Life and death are fate, some things are yours and you are yours. If God doesn't give them to you, what's the use of fighting like this?"
Speaking of which, Tan Cheng passed by and asked him with a smile that day, if he looked like he was about to die, Su Jingmo sighed: "It's not a good thing to live too long..."
After saying this, Su Jingmo looked at Qu Zhiwen and said, "What should I do to find that Jiang Bo?"
"Jiang Bo has also been dead for five months, but compared to the rest of the grudges in this tomb a hundred years ago, he should still have a breath of life. You are also a ghost now, you may not have noticed it yourself, but like A ghost like you who has been in this world for more than a thousand years, even if you don’t practice cultivation, you can still feel the time difference in becoming a soul.”
Nodding his head, Su Jingmo remembered that the evil ghost who followed Qin Cheng into the tomb and wanted to kill Qin Cheng was Jiang Bo, right? That ghost is different from other evil ghosts. He still has the breath of a living person and some consciousness of a living person. When he cut off his soul's arm, the ghost clearly recognized Qin Cheng and ran away in a hurry.
only…
"In the beginning, I could feel some differences, but these days have passed, and the breath of life in his soul has long since been wiped out. As for their time, I'm afraid I can't tell the difference."
Qu Zhiwen knew that this was because Su Jingmo had been sleeping in this tomb all the year round, and he had accumulated a lot of ghost energy, but with such a perception, Su Jingmo was probably like a ghost who had been dead for several years. After thinking about it, he said, "This is How many ghosts are there in the tomb?"
"About seven or eight hundred. The tomb robber took a lot of it last time."
"I can't cast spells in this tomb, but I can apply help outside the tomb to set up a formation. This formation allows you to increase your perception of ghosts. You should be able to know where Jiang Bo is. Ghosts can pass through walls and live on stone walls. It can also be hidden in the ground, and I am afraid that you will have to bring him out."
Saying that, Qu Zhiwen bit his finger, dripped blood on the ground, took out Liuzixiang from his backpack and wanted to light it, but found that the incense in the tomb could not be ignited, "Oh, it seems that this incense also has spirituality, in this tomb China doesn't even dare to lead the way."
Shaking his head, Qu Zhiwen put the incense back in the bag, only took two talismans and dipped them in a glass of wine, and then dropped his own blood in the wine, waiting for the yellow talisman and blood to dissolve in the wine, Qu Zhiwen moved extremely fast He poured the water on the four corners of the tomb, "The scorpion in this tomb is very powerful, the blood talisman wine I made can only last for a quarter of an hour, and the water cannot be used for the second time in the same place. Find Jiang Bo quickly."
Su Jingmo looked at the wine soaked with yellow talismans and human blood, "If I can really tell Jiang Bo from the ghosts, a quarter of an hour should be enough."
Qu Zhiwen nodded, then quickly left the tomb, sat cross-legged outside the tomb, and muttered the formula in his mouth. In an instant, four bursts of light flickered around the tomb.
Su Jingmo in the tomb also closed his eyes when the lights flashed in the four corners of the tomb.
When night fell, the mountains and forests shrouded in the night were extremely silent, and there was no wind, but suddenly the wind seemed to blow over the leaves, causing the branches to tremble.
Sure enough, as Qu Zhiwen said, his identification of the ghosts in the tomb became clearer, and the last one to die was the ghost hidden five meters below the ground in the southeast corner of the tomb.
The feeling of the soul passing through the ground is very strange. Su Jingmo subconsciously ignores this sense of disobedience. Jiang Bo is not the only ghost in the ground, but when he found Su Jingmo, these ghosts fled around as if they had seen something terrifying. Kai, Jiang Bo is no exception.
It's just that no matter how he escaped, he was finally thrown into the tomb of the underground palace by Su Jingmo carrying his hair.
Su Jingmo glanced at the ghost in front of him who was missing an arm and whose mouth was full of black and dirty things, and moved away in disgust.
When Qu Zhiwen returned to the underground palace, he found that Jiang Bo's ghost seemed to be very afraid of Su Jingmo, trembling and trying to escape, but was pinned to the ground with a sword by Su Jingmo, unable to escape...
"You really don't show mercy to anyone... I really don't know what that Tan Cheng likes about you... "
Qu Zhiwen spoke softly, but how could Su Jingmo, who was already a ghost, not hear it
His brows were slightly wrinkled, but Su Jingmo didn't know how to answer these words, so he could only choose to ignore them.
"This Jiang Bo has no human consciousness. He died a wrongful death, and has turned into a ghost. How can you ask?" As he spoke, Su Jingmo pulled out the sword that had been plunged into the floor.
However, before putting it into the scabbard, Su Jingmo's hand trembled violently.
"when-"
The sword fell on the white marble slab and made a harsh sound. Suddenly, the unease in his heart made Su Jingmo change his face. The only person in the world who has contact with him is Qin Cheng...
Qin Cheng, I'm afraid something really happened...
His hands trembled uncontrollably, Su Jingmo hurriedly clenched his fists, hid in his wide cuffs, and paced the tomb with his hands behind his back, but his steps were not as indifferent as he usually...
The peaks of Crouching Tiger Mountain are steep, and the terrain below the peaks is uneven. It is clearly not the Custer landform in the southwest. There are many rocks, but there are strange rocks here, blocking the ravine.
Going up the mountain road, it didn't take a while to reach an open meadow. On the opposite side of the meadow, on a gentle slope stood a huge rock wall. . On this stone wall, something was vaguely written, but the gray outer wall peeled off due to the wind and rain, many things could not be seen clearly. There were oaks and holly growing in places on both sides of the rock, and the roots of the trees grew in the gaps in the rock, drawing nutrients from there. These trees swayed on this cliff, like the feathers on a warrior's helmet, making the rocky cliffs add a bit of grimness.
On the hillside, a few people led him and Wu Hai to the depths of the mountain forest and did not climb any further. The direction they walked was more sunny, and the trees here were taller and denser than the other side of the mountain.
The path covered by the crazy weeds was no longer visible, and after walking for about 30 minutes, a dilapidated climbing path made of stone slabs appeared in front of them.
"Is this a mountain road that existed before?"
Tang Jie, who was walking beside Tan Cheng, nodded, "It should have been built when the mausoleum was built."
Qin Cheng looked up in the direction of the mountain climbing road. The mountain road was covered by trees and could not see anything.
"How did you know about this tomb?"
"It's hard to live here for generations without knowing it." The middle-aged man who spoke took out a cigarette lighter from his pocket, lit it, and took two puffs, "This is the mountain of our Tang family, and it's well written in the genealogy. , the things in this mountain are naturally ours.”
"Do you know who is buried in this mountain? Which emperor is it?" Tan Cheng said here, pretending to be puzzled: "This tomb was built with a mountain as a mausoleum, so 80% of it is a tomb after the Tang Dynasty? The mausoleum of which prince and dignitary?"
"You have learned something, but it's a pity, the person buried in this tomb is not an emperor or prince of the Tang Dynasty!" The middle-aged man saw that Tan Cheng made a mistake, and sneered: "Following that Li Guoxian is really fucking learning. What's wrong? Eighty percent of the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty. Do you know that the Han Dynasty also has such a burial system?"
Tan Cheng, who had been thinking about clichés at first, was not annoyed, but sighed lightly, "Then what is this tomb? I'm afraid you don't know either. Haven't you ever entered a large tomb?"
"Fuck you, don't I know?" The bald man with a knife over there scolded, "No one is more familiar with this tomb than us! Daxu written on the genealogy, I think It should be a mistake, this should be the tomb of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it should be the Northern Qi!"
But just as he said that, the middle-aged man over there threw the butt of the cigarette in his hand and slapped the top of the bald head with a slap, "You brat is so mean and broken, don't look at your bald head, how many times have you been arrested by the police? Are you going to die?”
"Second uncle, what is there to say, these two will die sooner or later, so what are you afraid of? I just can't see them thinking that they have read two books, and they look down on other people's cheapness if they don't have that degree! What's the matter? He was born in a professional class, and he doesn't even understand these basic common sense!"
Qin Cheng glanced at the bald head who was talking, and he didn't speak any more and didn't ask any more questions. He just heard what he wanted to know. That person knew about Daxu and said that the family tree wrote such a dynasty, so the Tang family could only be one. kind of people,
The tomb keeper of the imperial mausoleum.
In ancient times, when the emperor was on the throne, he began to build his own tomb. After the tomb was built, he gave some money and grain to move some people to live in the tomb. This approach made the mausoleum not look lonely, and the residence of the emperor after his death was not so deserted. People can become the tomb keeper in the future, guarding the mausoleum from generation to generation, and such tomb keeper, Tan Cheng has seen many tomb keeper, these people live around the mausoleum for generations to live a self-sufficient farming life. until now.
Some of these people may have long since forgotten their original identities over time, but there are still so few in the contemporary era until their ancestors used to be tomb keepers...
And this Tang family is obviously not very clear about this history, and mistakenly thought that the genealogy was wrong...
The bald man was slapped by his second uncle over there, and when he scolded him, he turned around and saw that Tan Cheng didn't take what he said at all, and was just thinking about something there.
"Did you fucking hear what I said?!"
Speaking of anger, the more the bald head looked at Qin Cheng, the more angry he became. Just before he was about to reach his destination, the bald head swung the machete and smashed it down at Qin Cheng.
He was already in danger, and he knew that these people wanted his life. Naturally, Qin Cheng was always on guard.
Qin Cheng was tall and didn't respond slowly. He avoided the machete before he smashed it down. Seeing the messy robbery hole not far away, and the tools placed next to him, he was overjoyed and glanced at the stone ladder mountain road. With a ruthless heart, Qin Cheng has already taken the machete and kicked the bald head down with his feet. Originally, there was no urgency in the construction of this stone ladder. Fall, roll down the hill!
"Run!" Before a few people could react, Qin Cheng grabbed Wu Hai's arm and ran to the robbery hole they just saw.
When those few people reacted and chased after them, Tan Cheng and Wu Hai had already slipped into the tomb along the robbery hole.
"Fuck!" The middle-aged man was so excited to stomp around in front of the robbery hole, "If it weren't for the danger in this tomb, I would definitely find these two and skin them!"
"Don't you fucking go and see what's going on with Tang Chenggui's boy, damn it! I'm here to watch, I don't believe that the two of them won't come out!"
Tan Cheng and Wu Hai didn't know how the people outside the tomb were so angry that they couldn't control it.
This robbery hole was dug down from a high place. When the two of them slid down the robbery hole and approached the end of the robbery hole, Tan Cheng stomped on both sides of the hole to prevent him from falling into the tomb just like that. Hai also hurriedly supported the not wide opening with both hands.
"What's wrong?" Wu Hai asked in a low voice, "Is there the entrance of the thief hole in front?"
"Yes," said Qin Cheng, taking out a small flashlight from his jacket pocket and looking down. With a little light, Qin Cheng carefully observed the structure below,
It is built with reddish-brown earth, with frescoes on the walls on both sides, and the passage below is slender and narrow.
"What did you find?"
"We seem to be diagonally above the tomb passage. The tomb passage is built at a height of about three meters. We must be careful when we jump down."
Saying that, Qin Cheng put away the flashlight, and after thinking about it, he still reached out and dug out a few large stones on the soil wall of the robbery hole, and threw them into the tomb passage below, quietly waiting for the response inside, and there was no response after waiting for a minute. Qin Cheng, who was still in motion, took a light breath, took out all the food in the backpack on his back and handed it to Wu Hai behind,
"Those people don't dare to come in, it must be that this tomb really has hidden weapons. I dragged you into the water for this matter. I will go down first. If there is nothing wrong, you will jump down. If there is something wrong...you stay. Here, I think Jiang Ping should be a capable person and should be able to find him."
"Fuck you!" Wu Haizhen was about to say something, but Tan Cheng, who was in front of him, let go of his feet on the wall of the thief cave and jumped down.
Holding his breath, Wu Hai hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "How is it?"
"It's okay!" Qin Cheng took out the flashlight and shook it up, "If you don't, don't come down. It's okay here, but that doesn't mean it's okay inside."
"What the hell are you talking about!" Wu Hai growled, then let go and jumped down from the tomb.
Seeing that Wu Hai also came down, Qin Cheng smiled and said, "Are you really dying?"
"Aren't you?" Tan Cheng rolled his eyes, and Wu Hai took out a flashlight that did not limit the light source from his backpack, "I also want to know what the situation is like, the answer is right in front of me, how can I go back? Not to mention... "
Thinking of those people who said that Li Guoxian killed a few people, and the murder case ten years ago... Wu Hai took a deep breath, "It's not just you who want to know the truth of what happened during this time."
Qin Cheng exhaled, "Do you believe what those people said?"
"What about you?" Crouching on the ground and taking out some tools from his backpack, Wu Hai raised his head and glanced at Qin Cheng, "I'm afraid you believe it? You told Zhang Jun and me that you couldn't believe what Li Guoxian said..."
"I don't fully believe what these people said, but Li Guoxian must have a problem, but it's just impossible to be exactly what they said."
"That's right." Wu Hai took out the necessary things. Seeing that Tan Cheng actually took out a pen and paper from his bag, he couldn't help but tangled: "What are you doing? Take out the pen and paper, this is to write a copy first. Put the suicide note here?"
What Tan Cheng took was the organ that Su Jingmo had drawn for him, and the Daxu often set up in the tomb, but this sudden sentence from Wu Hai made Tan Cheng stunned.
After returning to his senses, Tan Cheng laughed out loud, "Wu Hai, I used to think that you are too straight, you are too serious, and you don't know how to be polite when you speak. So you are joking?"
Wu Hai has always had a good relationship with Zhang Jun, and it seems that he is easily influenced by Zhang Jun.
"Who is joking with you!"
When Wu Hai heard Qin Cheng's words, he couldn't help laughing. He crouched beside Qin Cheng and said, "We should really write a suicide note. If there is something wrong, we can explain it to our parents. ."
Qin Cheng coughed twice, straightened his expression, nodded and said, "Actually it's okay, who knows what will happen ahead?"
Speaking of which, Qin Cheng took out the notebook he carried with him, turned to the last page and thought for a long time before writing a few words.
It was originally a joke, but now I am really writing it, and I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. Tan Cheng glanced at Wu Hai who also took out the notebook and wrote a sentence, and asked with a smile, "What did you write?"
"Look, there are no secrets."
Qin Cheng looked at Wu Hai and wrote two sentences, 'Parents don't be sad, my son is sorry for you. ' asked after a while,
"Bank account number and password?"
"My parents know." After saying this, Wu Hai turned his head to the side of Tan Cheng's book with a flashlight, looked at what Tan Cheng wrote, and when he saw the last sentence, Wu Hai was stunned, "This is the solemn Jingmo. Yes… "
Qin Cheng smiled and didn't answer. He just closed the notebook, took a bag and put the notebook in a corner of the tomb, and then opened the blueprint he just took out of the bag.
Wu Hai looked at the picture opened by Tan Cheng by the light of the flashlight. When he saw the detailed description above, Wu Hai's brain had lost the ability to direct his actions. Both eyes stared at the picture that Qin Cheng unfolded.
The good-looking calligraphy and brush characters explain in detail the mechanisms that may be set up in the tomb. Although it is not too specific, it also generally describes the methods of evasion and the methods to avoid triggering the organs.
"This... this is...!"
Qin Cheng looked at the tomb passage organization written on the drawing, and observed the appearance of the tomb passage. He took out the compass he brought in his bag to determine the east-west, north-south direction, and recorded it next to the drawing while observing.
This tomb passage is a slope of about 280 degrees from south to north. It should be four meters wide, three meters high, and horizontally long... Qin Cheng visually inspected the distance between the two sides of the tomb passage, and it should be at least 30 meters.
From the entrance of the tomb passage, there is a guard of honor in armor and uniforms. Behind the guard of honor are the Qinglong and the city walls and towers with the north as the background. The corners of the city wall are square, and the tower is on the south side of the city wall. A large number of honor guards marched in the city. The mural on the west wall of the tomb road, in addition to the picture of the white tiger facing the blue dragon, also has the picture of the soaring dragon and phoenix.
Su Jingmo wrote that the Daxu Tomb Road starts from the entrance of the tomb, and a checkpoint will be set up every five meters. If any mechanism is touched, the tomb will slant and sink. Below the middle, and below this, there is an upside-down bronze thorn, which falls 100% through the heart and lungs and dies...
Thinking of this, Tan Cheng hurriedly instructed Wu Hai, "Wu Hai, come and see first, it is written in this picture, Daxu's mausoleum is five meters in a row of organs, and if you touch it, the organs will be activated. We were lucky just now, no fell on the trap."
Wu Hai looked at the blueprint, suppressed his surprise, and asked, "Where did you get this drawing? Does it really work? I think this paper belongs to us, it's impossible that you took it from that tomb. came out?"
Speaking of this, Wu Hai asked, "Tan Cheng, please don't say that the murals in the tomb contain such pictures. Although I went into the tomb that day and did not carefully observe the structure inside, I at least know that the murals do not have such pictures. The pattern of the secret passage of the organ."
Moreover, this whole picture is drawn with a brush. Wu Hai has studied calligraphy, and Tan Cheng writes well with a hard brush, but the brush strokes on this drawing cannot be written by Tan Cheng...
Wu Hai asked so directly, then he would definitely not accept his perfunctory answer from Tan Cheng. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while before Tan Cheng said slowly,
"This is what the person I met in the tomb told me..." There is no need to hide some things until now, Qin Cheng smiled slightly: "I met a person in that big tomb, and many things are his He told me that even the Daxu Emperor's Mausoleum exists in Pingyao, Shanxi... He also told me."
The person you met in the tomb? Wu Hai wouldn't be so stupid, where would he meet someone in the grave, that must be...
"Not a man, but a ghost?"
"These are not important anymore." Tan Cheng picked up the blueprint and stood up, looking at Wu Hai and shaking his head, "This is not the time to talk about this, should we both go forward or stay here?"
Wu Hai looked at the picture in Tan Cheng's hand, and after a moment of silence he asked, "Is that picture reliable?"
"Well, I believe him."
"Then what are you waiting for? Of course, you are going forward. This place is too remote. Even if we wait here, I am afraid that we will starve to death, and Jiang Ping may not be able to find it. Go out by yourself, those people must be waiting there, just now you After playing that game, do they have the heart to peel us and tear us apart? If we just go forward, even if we die, there is a certain understanding, right?"
"It's not necessarily going to die." Tan Cheng laughed, "I don't want to die yet. I want to go home to accompany my parents during the Chinese New Year this year, and pick up Zhang Qishuo's parents for the New Year." After saying this, Tan Cheng said with a smile : "If I were to die like this, Zhang Qishuo would probably beat me up underground."
And... He hasn't been able to figure out how Daxu disappeared, this is what he promised Su Jingmo...
Thinking of Su Jingmo, who had been trapped in the tomb for more than a thousand years, Tan Cheng felt a faint pain in his heart. He wanted to let Su Jingmo leave the tomb. It was easy for him to die like this. In the future, Su Jingmo would be Not still will be left alone in the tomb,
A thousand years…
two thousand years...
Three thousand years...
Eternal life will stay in that small side of the world, unable to live, unable to destroy...
But in his next life, Qin Cheng has long forgotten this person...
Just thinking of such a scene made Qin Cheng's heart hurt so bad. For outsiders, he had never felt this kind of feeling before. It was not until he met Su Jingmo that he knew that sometimes, the heartache was not for himself, but for others. For that person, I don't want to see him alone, and I don't want to see his heartless smirk.
What he likes about Su Jingmo, Tan Cheng can't tell, whether he likes this person more, or as Su Jingmo said he will not like him after a few years, and Tan Cheng doesn't know either.
The only thing he knows is that when he looked at Su Jingmo's vivid expression because of today's technology, when he gave birth to the idea of 'it's a beautiful thing to live with this person like this', he felt I like this guy. He wanted someone, wanted someone so desperately, and cherished someone for the first time, he wanted Su Jingmo to stay with him forever...
Closing his eyes to cover up the pain that was about to overflow, Qin Cheng said firmly.
"I won't die, I definitely won't!"
