Holding "Tongmei" in my hand, I felt a lot more at ease in this cold corridor. Master Liu walked in the front, and his steps were not very fast. Zhou Tong walked in front of me, and he walked very carefully. Will look back at me and obviously take good care of me.
In the end, Master Ge walked in a nonchalant manner, not knowing what he was thinking.
When I first entered this dark and cold corridor, I was still very afraid, but after walking for a while, I found that it was not as scary as I imagined, except for black and cold, there is nothing else.
The entire corridor is all made of bluestone, and there are some candlesticks covered with patina lined up around the corridor, but the candles on those candlesticks have long since disappeared.
We walked down for about 100 meters, and we encountered a fork in the road. One direction was blocked by a bluestone door, and the other road was blocked by a bluestone slab, but the slab was broken, leaving only the the bottom third or so.
Master Liu took the lamp and took a look inside the stone gate, and found that two-thirds of the remaining tenths had become broken stones and scattered around the door. Master Liu said, "This stone gate is not thick, and it must have been broken open by someone. , it seems that someone has indeed come before."
Zhou Tong walked in front of Master Liu and said, "Master Liu, this is already the entrance to the ancient tomb, then let me go ahead."
Master Liu asked Zhou Tong a little: "Can you see the layout of this ancient tomb?"
Zhou Tong shook his head: "Not yet, there is no trace to be found for the time being!"
Looking at the two doors in front of me, I asked, "Foster father, which door shall we enter, these two doors?"
Master Liu asked me, "Aren't you afraid anymore?"
I said, "It's not that scary anymore!"
After walking in the ancient tomb for a while, I seemed to gradually fall in love with the excitement of exploring the unknown. In addition, I read countless "ghosts" from childhood to adulthood. Not so scared anymore.
Zhou Tong groped for a while on the two bluestone gates and said, "This is not the broken dragon stone of the tomb, it is not used to seal the tomb, it is too thin, it is a 'living' gate, if I am not mistaken, the surrounding There must be a mechanism that can be opened."
Zhou Tong groped for a while, and found a slot in the lower right corner of the complete bluestone gate. The slot was still full of dust. Zhou Tong took out a brush to remove the dust, and we found that there were engravings around the slot. A pattern of Tai Chi gossip.
And there are also two slots, which are divided into two points of the gossip.
Zhou Tong said, "I need a key."
Master Liu said: "It seems that the owner of this tomb believes in Taoism."
The three of them didn't seem to be in a hurry to enter the tomb. They left "ink marks" in front of the two stone gates for more than 20 minutes. I was a little impatient waiting beside me, so I asked Master Liu, "Yifu, can we still go in? ?"
Master Liu said: "Xiaoyong, you have to learn all these things, remember, when you go to the tomb, the more clues you get at the entrance of the tomb, the safer you will be in the tomb, and you will rush in blindly. Thus ignoring some safety clues, do you think this is stupid?"
Except for the blue stone and the pattern of the Tai Chi gossip, the rest of the door is almost the same, and I can't find any clues.
After a while, Zhou Tong said, "Okay, let's go in, first go to the broken door here. Someone has entered here, so it may be safer."
Zhou Tong took the lead to go over the broken stone gate, and then Master Liu held me and handed me over first, then he and Master Ge jumped over one after another, and then turned around and lit the back of the blue stone gate with a lamp.
Master Liu couldn't help but let out a "Huh". When I asked what was the matter, Master Liu pointed to the wall on the side of the stone gate, and there was a half yellow talisman covered with dust on it.
Zhou Tong and Master Ge also leaned over. Master Liu took off the yellow talisman, then blew away the dust and looked at it and said, "The Taoist soul-suppressing talisman may be left by the person who entered the curtain before."
After speaking, Master Liu took the lamp and swayed it to the inside. It was a bottomless passage. The floor and walls were paved with bluestone as usual, and there were still candlesticks on the walls, but the candlesticks here were different from those outside. are already somewhat different.
The candlesticks outside are pure candlesticks without any carvings, and the candlesticks here are carved with various hideous animal faces as bases, and there is no repetition.
Master Ge couldn't help but say "Huh" and said, "This seems to be the mask face of a shaman, but it has more styles. The outside is Tao, and the inside is witch, strange, strange!"
Zhou Tong guessed: "Will the owner of this tomb, like Master Ge, be a practitioner of both Taoism and witchcraft?"
Master Ge said it was possible, and Master Liu nodded.
We continued to walk in. The passage was not as long as I imagined. After walking for about a minute, we came to the end. There were two bronze doors that were half opened. There was a lion's face button on the bronze doors. The shape of the door is undoubtedly.
We squeezed in through the gap in the middle of the copper door and found a huge tomb, but after lighting it with lights, I felt that it was more like a palace, with a high tomb top, all kinds of In the monster mural, directly opposite the gate is a high platform with a large bench carved with rare monsters, and behind the bench there is a huge screen of Tai Chi and gossip.
There are many crane-shaped bronze lampstands around, and each bronze crane has a different posture, but they can be placed together without being messy at all, and there is a sense of randomness.
In the center of the hall, there is a large stove in my opinion, about the same height as me, with all kinds of strange patterns carved on it, and there are charcoal ashes under the stove.
After a moment of calm, Master Liu and Master Ge spoke at the same time, "The alchemist's pill room!"
Zhou Tong also repeated: "Is this the place where alchemists concoct alchemy?"
Master Liu nodded and said, "Yes, since there is a place for alchemists to concoct pills, it is normal for Yin spirits to enter and exit the ancient tomb. Yin spirits are commonly used by alchemists to improve the aura of pills in ancient times. "
I took a flashlight and looked around a few times, and then I said to Master Liu, "Foster father, look, there are so many talismans around here, what talismans are they?"
When I said this, Master Liu noticed the yellow talismans affixed to hidden places such as the back of the lampstand, under the seat, and the side of the pillar.
Obviously, the previous three people were attracted by the fact that this is the pill room, and did not pay attention to those yellow talismans.
Master Liu let out a "huh", touched the yellow talismans and said, "So many soul-suppressing talismans? What are they sticking in this pill room for calming down?"
I pointed to the pill stove that was about the same size as me and said, "This stove also has it."
Master Ge came over to look at it and said, "It's also a soul-soothing talisman, and it's not of low rank."
Zhou Tong asked the two masters, "Do these talismans still have any function?"
Master Liu and Master Ge shook their heads at the same time, Master Liu looked around and said, "These talismans don't seem to have been posted in the same era. You can see that the yellow paper with the yellow talismans on the stove and the seat is obviously very old, and the town is very old. The rune of the soul talisman is also more complicated, and the talismans at the pillars and the doorway, the yellow paper looks newer, and the rune of the soul talisman is almost the same as the modern one."
Master Ge added: "That is to say, some are posted here originally, and the latter may have been posted by the person who entered the tomb before us, and the purpose was to suppress the contents of the tomb? But this What's inside?"
At this time, Zhou Tong turned around the stove twice and said, "Two masters, do you think this pill stove is much smaller than the one we've seen before?"
Master Ge said, "Indeed, but some poor alchemists can't afford a big stove, so it's common to get a small stove, and some alchemists may prefer a small stove."
Master Liu added: "The alchemist who can use Yin Spirit to make alchemy will definitely not be too poor. If you use a small stove, I am afraid there is another reason, maybe it is a preference."
After watching it for a while, I asked Master Liu, "Foster father, you haven't said, whether these talismans are still functional."
Master Liu said: "It's gone, the spiritual energy has dissipated, and now it's posted here, just like ordinary yellow paper."
I immediately shrunk to the side of Master Liu in fright. These yellow talismans are useless, so aren't the things in here more unscrupulous
Seeing that I was a little scared, Master Liu said: "Don't worry, there is nothing unusual here except that the air is not fresh, even the breath of Yin spirits is the weakest here, presumably the things in the cemetery haven't been here for a long time. Well, it looks like we're going the wrong way."
I just calmed down a little.
We have been searching around in this pill room for more than an hour, but have not found any exits, entrances, secret doors, secret compartments and the like other than the copper door.
Zhou Tong said: "Two masters, it seems that this is almost the end. What we are looking for is not here, let's go another way."
Master Liu also nodded and said, "Indeed, let's go back the same way."
The four of us also exited the pill room one after another and returned to the passage just now. There is nothing to say about returning to the original road. There is no danger on this road. After a while, we returned to the broken bluestone door.
Just as Zhou Tong was about to turn it over, Master Liu suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
Zhou Tong was startled and asked Master Liu, "What's the matter, Master Liu?"
Master Liu pointed to the rubble on the ground and said, "Did we move them when we walked from here?"
We all shook our heads, and soon Zhou Tong and Master Ge were also surprised. Zhou Tong took out a dagger, while Master Ge and Master Liu asked for the yellow talisman. The small compass Zhou Tong gave me is also in the other hand.
I subconsciously also asked for a sentence: "What's wrong?"
Master Ge said, "This big rock has been moved. It's not the same as when we went in. Something has come here."
Master Liu added: "Not angry, not alive!"
