The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

The northern peak of Liangshan is about 1000 meters high, and they are now approaching the top of the mountain. It is conservatively estimated that it is at least 800 meters high.For a mausoleum built against a mountain, the tomb can be on the mountainside, at the foot of the mountain, or even below the mountain, but it is a bit strange that something has happened in such a high position.

Judging from the tombs of the Tang Dynasty that have been stolen and dug, they are basically located at the lower part of the mountainside. According to textual research, they were dug from the mountainside, and digging down a few tens of feet to build the Xuan Palace. It is said that they were the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. , The style of the mausoleum should not be too different.

For a while, several people looked at the small hole and did not speak.Shan Yangze took the opportunity to pull Guo Qian aside and asked him what happened.

Guo Qian has become a ghost, of course, his face can't be pale anymore, he said: "I didn't expect... what he said is true." Guo Qian pulled Shan Yangze to the side again, almost biting Shan Yangze was talking in his ears: "Although I still don't remember how I died, I can already remember things before and after my death."

"I remember Li Xian once said that he wanted Empress Wu not to be reborn, and he wanted to seal the entire tomb with bronze!" After Guo Qian said this, he seemed to startle himself. He paused, as if I also felt that it was impossible, "Seal the entire tomb... I couldn't sense my own bones earlier, I thought it was him who sealed my bones, but I didn't expect..."

After hearing this, Shan Yangze considered the possibility of sealing the acupoint with bronze. It is possible for the emperor to do whatever he wants, but does Li Xian really have such a big hatred for Empress Wu?He looked at Guo Qian suspiciously again.

Guo Qian pointed to the accompanying tombs around the Qianling Mausoleum, and said, "Look at these accompanying tombs, Princess Yongtai's Tomb, Prince Yide's Tomb, Prince Zhanghuai's Tomb, King Xu, King Ze, and Princess Yiyang, which one is it? He was not killed by Empress Wu."

Following Guo Qian's fingers, Shan Yangze looked over one by one, "This is it!"

"That's right." Guo Qian nodded and said: "It's just what you think, no one can die when you go in, no one can die!"

Shan Yangze looked at Boss Ji's group and the Governor's group around the entrance of the cave. On the surface, he and the Governor were in the same group, and even Boss Ji was invited by the Governor. On the surface, the main purpose of the twelve of them is to find the elixir of life, but in fact...

Shan Yangze, needless to say, is looking for Guo Qian's bones, although he is indeed curious about immortality, but if there is a conflict between the two, then he is destined to go to Guo Qian's bones.But... Zhang Sanfeng said "the road to immortality is broken", will there be a clue here?

Governor, who represents Xichang, is the emperor, and his purpose is the simplest, which is to find something related to the elixir of life, and go back and dedicate it to the emperor.

As for Boss Ji, he brought his buddies, Zhao Yi to Zhao Si, and just looking at their speed and skill in cooperating to make holes, they must be old Jianghu, and Boss Ji said that he has only raised two pairs for so many years. The two eccentrics in my son, just looking at the staffing, knew that Boss Ji had spent a lot of money.Then what he asked for in return... Will the hundred taels of gold promised by the governor earlier, and the tax exemption for three years really satisfy him?

Shan Yangze pulled Guo Qian back and walked back, and heard Zhao Yi say: "Boss, no matter what, the blue bricks and bronze are definitely not something that can grow in the mountains. There must be something under here, no matter what. What is he, let’s dig it out.”

Boss Ji was still a little hesitant, and said, "You also know that the tomb is built so high that it's against the rules."

Zhao Yiyi rolled up his sleeves and said: "We only saw something strange in this place, if we bypass this place and start to investigate from the mountainside, it will be like a blind cat hitting a mouse to death, can you touch me? There is no guarantee."

Boss Ji looked at the governor again, and the governor said: "We have been up the mountain for two days. The following sacrifices are only 49 days in total, and it has already started seven days before we came. If we can't get through in the remaining time Tomb, find something and come out..."

Hearing the governor's words, Boss Ji stomped his feet and said, "Dig!"

It was already dark, and Boss Ji took out a small lamp with a copper piece hanging halfway from the package, handed it over, and said, "Dig!"

This lamp is different from the ones used at home. The lamps at home are all 360-degree lights. There are two pieces of copper hanging on the wall of this lamp, which can be adjusted to only [-] degrees of light. It is an essential tool for night workers.

Zhao Yi took the light, and took the shovel with the remaining three brothers and two Jin Yiwei, and took turns to thicken the small hole that only allowed the iron cone to pass through.Boss Ji went to arrange for the two weirdos to rest, and then came back here to listen to the movement.

The three to four meters of soil on the surface is very soft, and there are a lot of dead branches and leaves mixed in it, but it was dug in less than half an hour, and the soil below has been compacted, and you can still hear it when you shovel it down. Boss Ji lowered his voice and hurriedly said: "Slow down! It's quiet at night, be careful not to be heard."

The sound became weaker with less effort. Each of the six of them took a quarter of an hour to dig out the brass and blue bricks that the iron cone touched just now. The three of them on the ground were not idle, helping to dig The excavated soil was piled behind the tree, and the cave was sealed when it came out. At this time, the sound of cock crowing came from the foot of the mountain.

A lot of soldiers patrolling the mountain had already been transferred away, and they didn't rest, they still worked hard. After a while, they cleared an open space about one meter square below, just enough for two people to stand side by side. standing.

"It's a bit troublesome." Zhao Yi's voice came from under the hole, and after a while, he climbed up along the small holes dug on both sides, and said: "First there is a layer of blue bricks, I've already cleared some of them, but further down The bottom is a layer of bronze, and the back is solid after knocking and knocking, so this is not easy to handle.”

Hearing this, Boss Ji also went down and knocked in person, and came up and said, "I don't know which structure this is. Anyway, if we dig it down rashly, if there are nine layers of blue bricks behind, it won't hurt to dig it for a month." It must be dug open."

Hearing this, Governor took a look at Shan Yangze and said: "The last time I went to the mountains, what method did you use?"

Shan Yangze hesitated a little, and said: "I have a talisman that can break through the mountain wall more easily, but for the bronze isolation spell, you have to break through the bronze first, and this is an emperor's tomb. Forbidden, I don’t know if it will work or not.”

Several people stared at the entrance of the cave for a long time, Boss Ji said: "Let's check the left, right, up and down first, and see if we can find a place where the green bricks are thinner before making a move. Bronze...is not easy to come by, and I think he will." It will not cover the entire tomb."

This is already a plan to force it. Shanyangze took out the folded talismans just now, and distributed one to each of them, saying: "If you really encounter something when you go down later, tear up this talisman. Hold back for a moment."

Boss Ji took three talismans and sent one to each of his two weirdos. Although one weirdo couldn't hear or see, he still accepted the talisman. It seemed that they might have some other way of communicating.

The six laborers started digging holes again. Boss Ji said while helping to lift the soil: "Actually, the hardest part of this job is digging holes. Think about it, how big is this tomb? It's nothing more than three rooms in the front, middle, and back." At best, add a hall in front, and two side rooms on both sides of the middle and back rooms. The emperor's mausoleum is nothing more than a larger area..." At this point, Boss Ji paused, he wondered: "But There's something really weird here."

Maybe Boss Ji was restless, so he told Governor and Shan Yangze about the doubts in his heart: "The tomb entrance of Zheng'er Bajing must be in the south, don't think about that, we dig now It is most likely the patio, but what is the purpose of building such a high patio.”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yi's excited voice came from the cave, "Boss, I found it!"

Shan Yangze hurriedly followed Boss Ji and jumped down the hole, only to see that they had already dug out more than two meters along the direction of the mountain. There is nothing left.

Boss Ji smiled and said, "Create room for me." Then, he went up to the hole and took out a box that was wrapped in layers. When the box was opened, there were two small jade bottles. He handed the things to Zhao San, and took the water bag.Zhao San first opened a light-colored bottle, poured half of the liquid on the bronze surface, and then Boss Ji added water to it, and after a while, Zhao San poured about a third of the liquid in the dark-colored bottle, I saw the two liquids mixed, bubbling non-stop, and white smoke floating up.

Boss Ji said: "Go up and rest for a while, you'll have it in a while."

Seeing that the tomb was about to be dug, several people were a little excited. They ate something and drank water. When they went down to take a look, the bronze was corroded and a hole about half a meter square came out, revealing the green bricks inside. There was a piece missing on the built wall, and the empty sound just now came from knocking on this place. Boss Ji took a lamp and looked at the entrance of the cave, only to see a pale skeleton of a hand there!

Boss Ji, who was walking in the first place, was taken aback, and said, "How could this happen! Could it be that someone has already entered here! No, it was obviously dug from the inside out!"

At that moment, several people pulled the hand bone in the cave out, only to hear a rattling sound inside, as if something fell to the ground.Shan Yangze clearly saw that there was more than one skeleton in the cave, but they were connected end to end, as if... Could it be a craftsman who was buried?

Zhao Yi took the oil lamp to take a picture, and sure enough, behind the stone wall was a small hole dug out of the green bricks, which could only allow one person to pass through, and he had to be relatively thin. They were all skeletons, maintaining the posture of crawling forward, but the path was completely blocked by the bronze in front and the tomb bricks outside.

Zhao Yi poked it in with the iron awl that had just been discarded, only to hear a rattling sound, and at the same time there was a stench, Zhao Yi took two steps back and said: "It must be cleaned up first."

As the blue bricks in the cave were cut open and the bones were pulled out, their identities gradually became clear. They were indeed craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty. Engraved with the year and a word of service.

At this time, Shan Yangze realized another detail, that is, the first bone, his finger from the depth of the cave was actually missing a piece.The posture of this person is lying on the ground, with his right leg stretched out on the side of his waist and abdomen, his left hand propped up on the ground, and his right hand stretched forward. What he saw just now from the small hole that was corroded is his right hand stretched forward.Shan Yangze asked Boss Ji that the liquid he used was only for corroding bronze, and did not damage human bones. However, the fractures of this man's fingers, including the index finger, middle finger and ring finger, were even, and they were still stained with dust, but it was not Chopped with a sharp tool.

It's like... digging out the last tomb brick, only to find that the outside has been poured with bronze, and in desperation, I reached into the bronze that hadn't completely solidified...

Shan Yangze remembered Guo Qian's words that no one should die, so he couldn't help but shuddered, and with the excuse of panting, he pulled the man out of the cave entrance and said, "I'm afraid that no less than 50 people died in this cave, but I don't think there are any ghosts inside. "

Guo Qian nodded and said: "I didn't notice anything, but if this is the case, there are only two possibilities left."

Shan Yangze thought of the fierce ghost in the palace that had absorbed many dead babies, and said, "There is only one most powerful one left..."

Guo Qian smiled and comforted him: "Look at this scene, it is clear that these people dug the hole first, and then poured the bronze juice. If this is the case, then the hole must have been discovered, and the other side of the hole will be sealed. If it is not the same as the tomb, it doesn't matter how many people die."

After saying a few words, the people below also came up, Zhao took a big breath of fresh air and said, "We have to let the smell out first."

Boss Ji took over the conversation, looked at the supervisor Jin Yiwei, Shan Yangze and others, and said seriously: "You are all going to the field for the first time, before going down, there are a few rules to explain, otherwise something will happen , we go our separate ways, and no one can take care of the other."

"First, listen to my command when you go in, and only when I agree can you do it."

"Second, you must not exhale when opening the coffin. Everyone holds their breath, and we take turns."

After saying these two items, Boss Ji slapped his thigh and said, "That's all for now, let's go to the ground!"

There are still two things to do before going down to the ground, because the entrance of the cave is very narrow, people have to walk forward on their stomachs, donkeys and dogs can't get down, so these two were released into the forest.In fact, Boss Ji's first suggestion was to silence the mouth, but...in short, it didn't succeed.

The second thing is to camouflage the hole just dug out. Boss Ji’s four guys built a frame with wooden sticks, sprinkled soil and leaves, lifted it down the hole, and raised it up. It was a bit simple to do, but If no one steps on it, it probably won't reveal the trap.

Zhao Yi took the lead, and everyone finally entered the cave that they didn't know where they would lead.

All the way down the cave, first passed a green brick wall about one and a half feet, and then the cave was slightly wider, and the surrounding area became compacted soil.Along the way, the two people in front had to clean up tools and bones scattered on the road from time to time, so they didn't move very fast.

The cave turned a corner, and finally there was no sunlight at all, and the only light was the lamp in Zhao Yi's hand.In front of Shanyangze is the governor, and behind him is Guo Qian. Climbing and climbing, the slope gradually becomes steeper. It takes a little effort to control myself from falling on the person in front.After climbing for an unknown amount of time, I saw a crack suddenly appeared in front of the cave. If it was on flat ground, it would be possible to jump across it with a single leap. Unfortunately, in the cave, I couldn't even stand up straight, let alone jump.

Zhao Yi held up the lamp, shook it, and said, "There are steps carved out of the wall below, and someone climbed up from below."

But... Shan Yangze looked at the cave that was still endless. After crossing this gap, there were still scattered tools and other things in the cave ahead. Which way would they go?Looking at this posture, the cave in front is the escape route dug out by the craftsman who was buried. But this gap, which seems to be formed naturally, will lead to where?

Boss Ji said: "There will be no gaps in the tomb. No matter what is under here, let's go forward." After speaking, he seemed not at ease, and pushed the slightly taller figure crawling in front of him. The strange man said, "Take a look." Hearing this, Zhao Yi hurriedly turned off the lights, and the surroundings were completely dark.

Shan Yangze saw that the smaller man took off the cloth wrapped around his head, and saw that his head was bald, his eye sockets were empty, and there were two small bulges in his ears, which seemed to be He was born with this appearance. The man was extremely thin and small. He crawled through the gap made by the people in front, looked down at the edge of the gap, and then looked up at the cave in front. The big weirdo spoke.

"I can't see clearly below, but not in front."

Hearing the weird man say that he couldn't see clearly below, Boss Ji said: "Then let's move forward."

The governor was right behind Boss Ji, and immediately grabbed his foot without caring too much, and said, "What does he mean?" It seemed that Boss Ji didn't explain clearly, and he didn't intend to move forward.

Boss Ji waited for the little weirdo to wrap his head around again. After Zhao lit the lamp, he said: "These two are twins. They have never seen the sun since they were born in the womb. The younger one is born deaf and can't see. The older one has normal five senses. I Keep the two of them in the ground, and someone will take care of them, and then—” At this point, Boss Ji paused, and said: “After passing some tests, the younger one will be able to see things that ordinary human eyes can’t see, and can hear things that people’s ears can’t see. Inaudible things, and then this information can be told to us through his brother's mouth."

Not to mention the governor, even Shan Yangze was silent for a while. Boss Ji said it so easily, but if you think about it carefully, if you don’t choose hundreds or eighty candidates, it will not be successful. No wonder he said "I have to Got two pairs."Shan Yangze sighed, and just about to say something, he noticed that Guo Qian behind him seemed to be not holding on tightly, and suddenly fell into his arms.

How could Guo Qian not be able to grasp it firmly? Shan Yangze didn't care about throwing himself into his arms or something, so he heard Guo Qian whispering in his ear: "Let's go down."

Shan Yangze's spirit was shaken, and there was nothing else that could make Guo Qian speak, except his bones.So Shan Yangze said: "Since someone can come up this crack, there must be something below, and it's more convenient to go straight up and down."

This sounds quite reasonable, besides, these people have different purposes in fact, so after a few words of pretentious persuasion, Boss Ji left some things for Shan Yangze and Guo Qian, and took the rest of the people to go go forward.The Governor thought about it, and if Shan Yangze found something, he would not be able to escape, but Boss Ji... So the Governor patted Shan Yangze on the shoulder, and followed Boss Ji.

When the people in front could not see the light, Shan Yangze summoned the black donkey and black dog with a magic spell, and said: "Our Black Mountain team, now start to find the bones of the village master's wife, let's go!"

Boss Ji and his party crawled forward along the cave. When they turned another corner, the big weirdo suddenly said: "They are not human."
