Bu Tian Gang

Chapter 55:

The robbery hole is narrow and it was dug by tomb robbers. Of course, you don’t need to expect how spacious and comfortable it is. The long guard sword on the back is stuck in the robbery hole from time to time, and the winter solstice has to take off the sword and hold it in his arms.

In order to avoid collision with each other, everyone was separated by at least half a meter. When the winter solstice heard the sound of the body sliding downhill from the front, he knew that he should have reached the gentle **** area that Ye Cheng said. As expected, Ba Sang quickly He slid down, and then his hands were empty, and his body slid down. He quickly adjusted the angle during the slide down to avoid his head hitting the ground.

The space on the gentle **** is very spacious, and it doesn't look like the tomb robbers dug it out. It is estimated that they have already entered the building structure of the tomb itself.

With a snap, he landed steadily, clapped the dust on his hands, and found that the other people who landed first had turned on their flashlights and began to look around the internal environment.

Behind him, the little friends slid down one by one.

The tomb is not spacious, and there is a stone tablet in the center, but no one can understand the text on it.

"What is this?" Zhang Song couldn't help asking.

"Xixiawen." It was Long Shen who answered him.

Xixia script was once considered to be one of the lost texts, and it was difficult for anyone to decipher it. However, under the perseverance of archaeological research, more and more Xixia scripts have been deciphered, and even a dictionary of Xixia characters has been published. This language is no longer mysterious.

However, they are not archaeologists on the winter solstice. Faced with such words, everyone is naturally at a loss.

The stele is densely packed and engraved with Xixia characters. Maybe when this stele was erected in the past, the font was painted with gold powder. However, over time, the gold powder has gradually faded and disappeared, and the text has become dull.

"According to past traditions, this kind of stone tablet generally records the life of the tomb owner, and by the way warns outsiders to be cautious." Song Zhicun, who finally came down, patted the dust on his body and said, "Judging from the confessions of those tomb robbers, the real danger lies in the tomb chamber. In the rear passage, they did not encounter any danger here, some organs have been cracked by them, and everything that should be moved has been emptied, but everyone still needs to be careful, the Japanese came one step ahead of us, Maybe they'll set some traps to prevent us from following."

Everyone hadn't thought about it at first, but when he reminded them, they were shocked, and then they felt that Jiang was really old and hot, and they would not have thought of such details.

Led by Long Shen, everyone stepped on the stairs to the main tomb and continued to walk inward.

The main tomb consists of three side-by-side tomb chambers, one large and two small, which is equivalent to a "living room" in the middle and "rooms" on both sides.

A coffin is placed in the middle of the "living room", and some stone-made pottery figurines, wood products and silk are stacked in the left and right rooms.

The pottery figurines were originally painted, but now they are connected to the outside air, and their colors have faded.

Judging from the current situation, the lid of the coffin in the main tomb in the middle has been pried up, and the coffin in one corner should be the owner of the tomb here.

Song Zhicun said: "The tomb robbers took away the valuable gold, silver and jade objects in the ear chambers on both sides, and they were planning to pry open the coffin, because according to their years of experience in tomb robbing, many valuables will also be buried in the tomb owner's coffin, but The lid of the coffin was extremely heavy, and ten of them tried hard together, but they couldn't lift the lid, so they had to give up in the end."

But in front of him, the coffin was obviously passive.

Was it the hands and feet of the Japanese walking in front of them, or...?

Looking inside from the coffin lid that had been removed, it was dark, and the viewing angle was too narrow to see what was inside.

Zhang Song heard Song Zhicun say that ten people couldn't lift the coffin lid, but he didn't believe this evil and tried to push the coffin lid outward.

The coffin lid looks wooden, but it doesn't move.

He couldn't help but look horrified.

How much strength did the person who was able to lift the lid of the coffin and push it away from the corner?

Liu Qingbo, Li Ying and others also came to try it one after another. With the addition of Ba Sang, who was the most powerful, everyone almost tried their best to **** the milk, and the lid of the coffin was finally removed little by little.

"Step aside!"

Long Shen shouted abruptly, and Baimang shot out from his hand, accompanied by a muffled sound, as if something was thrown to the ground.

Everyone looked at the sound, but saw a small black figure standing tremblingly in the corner of the wall, showing his teeth and claws at everyone, but he seemed to have some scruples and did not dare to rush forward.

Li Ying threw a talisman fire over, and the shadow screamed and turned to ashes together with the talisman fire.

Someone exclaimed: "What is that? Monster?!"

Song Zhicun walked over and picked up a piece of ashes to examine it.

"No, this is a puppet technique, and it's also a type of yin-yang technique. Cut a villain out of paper, inject rune power into him, and you can manipulate it like a puppet at will."

He took a closer look at the ashes and said, "This kind of paper puppet should have been infected with golden-winged moth powder. As long as it gets a little on it, the other party can detect our whereabouts, and it is also equivalent to a chronic poison."

Chi Banxia: "What is a golden-winged moth?"

Song Zhicun: "It is a moth species on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and it is the only one in the world that has it. It is said that it was discovered by the Japanese army during World War II. A chronic poison that controls the mind of the enemy, probably a bit like a drug, but much more powerful than a drug."

Originally, everyone didn't talk about it, but there was inevitably a tendency in their hearts. They felt that the Wu Bureau had a solid brand and a solid foundation. After joining a group, they would not worry about money or all kinds of talismans. Although the Dragon Bureau was stricter, it didn't seem very friendly. , but he has a strong ability, and his qualifications in the Special Administrative Bureau are also very deep. It is said that there are many people who support him in the current office; only Song Bureau, who is a half-way monk, the three groups are not well-known, and they are jokingly called the miscellaneous group. Going to a high place, the water flowing to a low place, everyone goes to the first group and the second group. The third group is naturally uninteresting, but now hearing Song Zhicun's words, many people immediately feel that their previous views on the three groups are too much. Some are biased.

Being able to become the deputy director of the General Administration is naturally not a generalist. Even if you want to join, people don't need you.

"The paper puppet should be left by the Japanese, everyone be careful, maybe there is still..."

Before Song Zhicun finished speaking, several black shadows jumped out of the coffin, but everyone was mentally prepared.

The talisman fire came into contact with the paper puppet, and it burned in an instant. That's all, but Liu Qingbo and Zhang Song came out with their swords, and the sword cut off the paper, but the golden-winged moth powder on it did not disappear. Scrape flying all over the place.

Zhang Song responded very quickly, and the sword was discovered as soon as he chopped it up, but it was too late to take it back. Inside the tomb, golden moth powder flew everywhere and floated towards everyone.

Liu Qingbo actually wanted to pull out a sword, but he realized the problem of moth powder as soon as he took the sword out of the sheath, but he didn't take action.

A gust of wind suddenly blew up from behind everyone and rolled all the moth powder towards the wall of the tomb, solving the crisis in time.

Everyone looked back, and it turned out that Long Shen and Song Zhicun did not know how to draw out the wind.

Swept over by Long Shen's cold expression, Zhang Song lowered his head.

Song Zhicun's face was also not very good-looking: "What did I say before I came out? Be bold, be careful! You are very courageous, but your heart is not careful enough. If the moth powder got on your body just now, we don't have to go anywhere, just directly Go home, you will also be the only one to be eliminated in this practice exam!"

Zhang Song could afford it and put it down, so he simply admitted his mistake: "I'm very sorry, I didn't think so much when I attacked the sword just now, and I almost got everyone involved. I'll be more careful next time!"

Liu Qingbo usually disagreed with him, but now hearing him bow his head and admit his mistake, he was in a good mood, but he didn't dare to put this gloating on his face.

The lid of the coffin was pushed open more than half, revealing a mummified corpse.

The body was well preserved, and the facial features and basic outlines were still there, but what he was wearing was not an ordinary robe, but a purple robe with the sun, moon and stars embroidered with gold and silver threads on it, and a robe draped over his shoulders. A multicolored feather coat, wearing a golden lotus crown, holding a white jade Ruyi in hand, and even the gaps around the top of the head and shoulders are filled with agate pearls.

Fortunately, the gang of tomb robbers failed to open the lid of the coffin, otherwise the owner of the tomb would definitely not be able to escape the end of being looted.

The Japanese obviously did not intend to drink alcohol, so they only opened the lid of the coffin and placed a paper puppet inside to plot against the latecomers, but they had no interest in the gold and silver jewelry inside.

From this, it can also be seen that what they are plotting is definitely much greater than these external things.

But the most peculiar thing is the identity of the tomb owner.

Including the Special Administration Bureau and the group of tomb robbers, everyone thought that this would be the tomb of a Xixia noble, who would have thought that the owner of the tomb was actually a Taoist priest.

And not an ordinary priest.

Many people didn't know the mystery, so Li Ying explained to them: "Purple vestments are usually only worn by high-gong Taoist priests during official sacrificial ceremonies. With such a grand dress, his identity must be very difficult, but unfortunately we haven't been able to wear it yet. Decipher the text on the stone tablet, or you will definitely know his identity."

"I know who he is!" someone suddenly said.

It was Zhou Yue who spoke.

He was lying on the side of the coffin, trying his best to look at the small characters on the rope inside the coffin.

The owner of the tomb was so close to his face that he had a corpse, and he was about to have a close contact, but he didn't even realize it.

"Look here, the Chinese characters are used, Xia Tong's subtle magic is really immortal Liang Shichen! He is Liang Qiqi, it must be him!" Zhou Yue said excitedly.

Zhou Yue is inconspicuous in the team, and he doesn't talk much at ordinary times. He is relatively close to Xie Qingning and Ouyang Yin. The Winter Solstice only knows that he is from a Fengshui family.

Zhou Yue pointed to the mark on the head of the tomb owner inside the coffin: "This is the sun, moon and stars."

He pointed to the coffin wall on the inside of the tomb owner's left hand and said, "This is Jin He."

"On the right side, is the gourd. Both of them imply Taoist treasures, and before Liang Wei's death, he liked to call himself a true immortal. He held a lotus flower in his hand and a jade gourd hanging from his waist. There was a rare excitement on his face, not his usual composure.

"Who is Liang Qiqi?" Song Zhicun asked in confusion.

"Look at my head!" Zhou Yue patted his forehead lightly and explained, "Liang Chen, the word is Qiqi, it is said that he once worshipped under Chen Tuan's door. Later, when Chen Tuan saw that his mind was not right, he expelled him from his teacher's door. Then I turned around to learn the art of Kanyu from others. At that time, my ancestor of Zhou’s family happened to be in the same family with him, so I heard from my ancestors about this person. Liang Weiwei later left Song State and went to Xixia, claiming to be the same clan of Empress Dowager Liang, and soon got He was re-used, and was even regarded as a national teacher for a time, and he was given the title of True Immortal. After the fall of the Empress Dowager Liang, his whereabouts were also unknown, and I did not expect that he was buried here!"

In history, Empress Dowager Liang was not like Wu Zetian or Empress Dowager Cixi, but she was in charge of Xixia for more than ten years and launched several wars against the Song Dynasty. In the battle of Yongle City alone, it is said that more than 200,000 Song people were killed. , can be called shocking, but this woman has not been evaluated well in history because of her military skills.

Song Zhicun raised his head to observe the surrounding environment, frowned and said: "No, you said that he had been in the same family as your ancestor, but looking at this tomb, it is uneventful and unremarkable. Although it is not a peerless and fierce place, it is not a feng shui treasure. , let alone Feng Shui, there are almost no organs, except for the coffin, nothing else can match what he has learned in his life."

Zhou Yue smiled bitterly: "I don't know about that. There is indeed such a person in my family's handbook, but why did he suddenly get the appreciation of Empress Dowager Liang, and why was it only a flash in the pan? When Empress Dowager Liang died, he disappeared. There is no record. Maybe he was neglected by Empress Dowager Liang, or maybe Empress Dowager Liang died, and he fell out of favor in front of the new emperor!"

Xixia has been wiped out, and there are not many records even in the history books, but looking at the history of Xixia, the Queen Mother Liang is a very contradictory figure. She is obviously of Han origin, but in order to win over the party's honor, she wantonly abandoned Han customs and restored the party's old customs. He even launched wars against the Song Dynasty many times. It is a bit strange that such a person who would do anything for power would actually reuse a Taoist priest and even give him a title and canonization.

Moreover, the tombs of the Xixia Kings had been robbed and excavated devastatingly in the Yuan Dynasty, and the royal tombs were destroyed in a large area. Since the Ming Dynasty, countless tomb robbers have visited, but this small tomb has remained. a miracle.

"You can find someone to decipher the stone tablet after you go out. Don't stay here for too long." Long Shen reminded.

The purpose of everyone is not about property, and they didn't move a single piece of jewelry in the coffin that could make tomb robbers covet.

The passage through which the tomb robbers confessed is located in the small tomb to the north of the main tomb.

There are no coffins in the tomb, only a lot of human-shaped pottery figurines, both male and female. Although many of these pottery figurines were encountered by tomb robbers in a panic, it can still be seen that they are neatly arranged in a row, facing the stone gate on the wall. It's like bowing to Shimen, making people feel as if some big man will appear behind the door.

The stone door is hidden, and it can be pushed open with a little force.

Long Shen suddenly squatted down and looked at the ground between the door and the tomb.

Song Zhicun looked at it with a probe, and let out a groan.

He also discovered that the tomb was made of stone slabs, while the back of the door was rammed earth. There was a thin boundary between the two. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell the difference at all.

And this boundary is actually composed of countless talismans as thin as mosquitoes and flies.

Long Shen and Song Zhicun were not good at talismans, so they asked Li Ying and Zhang Song to come and see.

Li Ying lay on the ground to identify for a long time, and said: "This should be the talisman to suppress evil and exorcise."

Zhang Song also holds the same opinion.

In other words, this line is actually to prevent things over there from coming over, and Liang Qi was buried here, maybe to suppress some kind of evil.

But there are still a lot of weird things, Song Zhicun said: "Let's go, I'll go first, at the rear of the Dragon Bureau, you follow in the middle, everyone is more careful, remember to mark along the way, to avoid getting lost and lost."

Long Shen said, "Let me go ahead."

He didn't wait for Song Zhicun to speak, and walked in first.

This man doesn't talk much, but he always takes action.

Seeing the winter solstice, my heart tightened, and I followed behind without hesitation.

After him, Liu Qingbo, Li Ying and others also entered.

The ground under his feet was a little damp, and when he stepped on the Microsoft, Long Shen's footsteps were not fast, and everyone could pay attention to the surrounding environment while walking.

"This channel seems to have been created artificially." Someone said.

But others also found it. The top of the head is very spacious. Unlike the robbery hole dug by the tomb robbers hastily, Liu Qingbo scraped a little soil from the wall soil layer with his sword and took it under his nose to smell it.

"A little fishy."

Li Ying, who was walking behind him, smelled it and said, "It smells a little rancid, and the soil is wet and soft. It should be like what the tomb robbers said, there is a river nearby, so there is water vapor."

Everything here is full of unknown and unpredictable. At first, everyone had a little enthusiasm for discussion. After walking for a long time, they naturally fell silent. Except for the slight footsteps and the breathing of everyone, there was almost no noise.

But the road became wider and wider. At first, it was a corridor for only one person. After they walked for nearly an hour, this corridor was now enough to accommodate three adults.

The doubts in the hearts of the people are also getting bigger and bigger.

The passage was deep and long, and at the time, without mechanical help, was no small project.

Is the builder the Empress Dowager Liang, or Liang Qiqi, or someone else?

Even if Liang Qiqi was favored again, when the whole country was a party aristocrat at that time, how could he, a Taoist priest in the Middle Earth, preside over the construction of such a labor-intensive project?

If it is not Liang Zhiqi, what is the original intention of the builder?

According to the time, the group of tomb robbers encountered danger after walking for more than an hour. Everyone's footsteps were faster than the tomb robbers, and now they should almost reach the dangerous place in their mouths.

Everyone's hearts unknowingly raised a little bit, but the mental quality of practitioners was different from ordinary people after all, and no one slowed down because of doubts in their hearts.

At this moment, Long Shen suddenly stopped.

The winter solstice walking behind him was startled and hurriedly stopped.

Liu Qingbo hurriedly braked and said angrily, "What are you doing!"

He asked about the winter solstice, but Long Shen answered him.

"Be careful ahead and left and right."

Not far in front of Longshen, there are bodies on both sides of the earth walls.

They were naturally dead, and it was unknown how many years they had been dead, but the corpses were not completely decomposed. Some of the arms were boneless, but the shoulders above the arms still had remnants of flesh that were bluish white and bluish. The most terrifying thing is that the facial features are still there, but the eyeballs are protruding because of the loss of water on the facial features.

These corpses have different postures, some are leaning against the wall, their chins are raised, as if they are still looking up before dying, some are crouching down and holding their heads with their hands, some are half-embedded in the soil wall, and some are even almost The whole body is already inside the earth wall, only one hand sticks out.

Rao is the winter solstice and they are not new, and they still see goose bumps all over their bodies.

With a click, Gu Meiren ignited a piece of dark wood, which was slightly choking, but the smell of grass and trees quickly penetrated into everyone's nostrils.

"This is a kind of wood in our area. It can remove the miasma and strengthen the body. I'm afraid that places with many corpses will have more bacteria."

After all, these corpses have been dead for many years, the clothes and hair on their bodies have long since rotted away, and the dynasties and regions cannot be seen.

Everyone followed behind Long Shen and passed through the middle. The strange feeling lingered in their hearts, as if they were surrounded by these corpses.

Liu Qingbo felt disgusted for a while, he suddenly understood why the mud on his sword just now smelled fishy, ​​because it was the smell of a corpse.

Chi Banxia walked in the middle of the team.

She suddenly felt that the corpse she was passing by seemed to move her finger, and then she looked back suddenly, but it was more like an illusion.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Yongnian, who was walking behind her, noticed her strangeness.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm blinded."

Even so, she secretly raised her guard.

Suddenly, someone in front of him screamed.

The sound is extremely tragic and shrill, and it spreads quickly in a limited space, and the effect is doubled, which can be called sound.

"You wait here."

Long Shen left a sentence behind and walked forward.

Winter Solstice wanted to follow, but because of his words, he had to stay where he was.

Little did they know that at this moment, an accident happened in their team!

"what!!!"

Behind the winter solstice, someone suddenly shouted.

He turned back quickly.

Liu Qingbo and Li Ying reacted faster, they had already run to the back.

Ouyang Yin, the person who is good at figuring out hexagrams, was sinking a little bit, but the ground that he had stepped on seemed to have turned into tofu for him. Everyone saw this scene with their own eyes, and they quickly reached out and grabbed him.

"Just now a hand grabbed my foot and dragged me down, and it's still dragging me now!" Ouyang Yin's face was pale, his arms were tightly grasped by everyone, but the force holding him was too great , his body did not move at all, and his face became whiter and whiter, not because of fear, but because of increasing pain. "I, my legs..."
