There was heavy fog in front of us, and the entire "Yuhe Bridge" was looming.
Only these two statues looked particularly eye-catching in the fog.
"What kind of thing is this, just pretending to be a ghost?"
Wang Qiang pointed his flashlight at the two statues.
Looking closely, the two statues have small ears and eyes as big as peas. There are two dark patches in front of their eyes. Their mouths are lighter in color and have several pairs of long beards lying across their mouths.
A big furry tail is revealed behind him.
Different from several other statues, the two statues standing at the head of the bridge are standing statues, with their hands hanging naturally on their chests and their lower bodies squatting.
"weasel!"
Lin Yi blurted out.
"Weasel? Why are there two statues of weasels here?"
Wang Qiang asked puzzledly.
"I see!"
Bai Lu had already reacted at this moment.
"What do you know?"
"The four shrines we just saw, namely snake, fox, mouse and hedgehog, are not the totems of any ethnic minorities. Those four animals plus this weasel are the 'fox yellow, white willow ash' of Shamanism in Liaodong. 'Five Immortals."
"Five Great Immortals? Is there such a thing? How did you figure it out?"
Wang Qiang looked confused.
"Lulu is right, these five animals are by no means the totems we thought of before, they are the 'horse fairies' in Liaodong region.
In the culture of shamanism, these five animals are all incarnations of immortals, each with their own special powers. After being cultivated into spirits, they can possess people through magic.
If you ask sincerely, the "Five Immortals" will respond to your request. If you are not sincere, you may be punished by the "Five Immortals". "
Both Bai Lu and Qian Sheng knew something about "Chu Ma Xian", but Wang Qiang was the first to hear about it and was full of questions.
"Not to mention whether this legend is true or false, let's just say that if this is the 'Chu Ma Immortal' from Liaodong, why does it appear in Wu Sangui's tomb? This is Southwest China and the boundary of Qianzhou. No matter how powerful a great immortal is, can he still enforce laws across regions?"
Lin Yi sighed helplessly.
"Didn't you read the content on the four-sided monument just now?"
"No, there are too many words on it. It's so dense that you can't read them clearly."
"Do you know Wu Sangui's background?"
"Isn't he the 'King of Pingxi'?"
Qian Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he rescued Wang Qiang from the side and said:
"Wu Sangui's father was the Jinzhou Army General of the Ming Dynasty. Zu Dashou, the Liaodong Forward Army General, was his uncle. He was born and raised in Liaodong, and later became the Liaodong Army General of the Ming Dynasty."
Having said this, Wang Qiang suddenly realized.
"Oh, I remembered it. "The Deer and the Cauldron" said that Lord Wei said that he opened the Shanhaiguan Pass and brought in the Qing army. The organs here were all arranged according to the customs in his hometown. .”
"The 'Five Immortals' are also known as the 'Family Protector Immortals' among the people in Liaodong. It is said that if they are invited home by shamans to worship them, they can protect the safety of the whole family. I estimate that the 'Five Immortals' in this underground palace are It’s the Baojiaxian supported by Wu Sangui.”
A few people have finally figured out the intentions behind these mechanisms, but now they are all trapped in the fog, unable to escape, and dare not move rashly. Apart from the "River Bridge" in front of them, there is nothing else. way out.
"Lulu, in the "Theogony" that Senior Aunt Sun gave you, did it mention how to crack the 'Chu Ma Xian'?"
Bai Lu thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, yes. Master Sun told me that the Sun family and Shamanism have been in a competitive relationship for many years. When they joined the 'Bagui', they also wanted to strengthen themselves and be able to Competing with the shamanic culture of the Manchus.”
Hearing her say this, the emotions on several people's faces instantly became much more relaxed.
Unexpectedly, Bai Lu changed the topic and continued:
"But she didn't have time to teach me. She left in a hurry before and only learned the techniques of 'golden needles to drive away evil spirits' and 'deer signs to guide the way'. Who would have thought that we would meet the 'horse fairy' in the southwest?"
Hearing what she said, the morale that he had finally raised just now dropped again.
However, this is where Liu Xuanchu's brilliance lies.
Just imagine, not to mention who can find the tomb in the "Hidden Dragon Cave", even if it is found, it will have to go through the local Nanmiao people first.
Even if you cross the "Coffin Mountain" and finally enter the underground palace, you will either die at the hands of the "Lizard Man" or be swallowed by the "Shi Taisui".
Only if you can walk through the Shinto, the battlements, the Lingxing Gate, and the stele pavilion to reach the "Yuhe Bridge" can you have the opportunity to come into contact with the main body of Wu Sangui's tomb.
Even if he is a clever tomb robber, how can he think that the organization here is related to the "Chu Ma Xian" from Liaodong?
"You said he never thought about what if the person who entered this underground palace was a Manchu? If he brought a shaman in, wouldn't he be able to fight him down with a pinch in his hand?"
"It's not that simple. The shaman can unravel the horse fairy, but he can't find the 'Hidden Dragon's Cave'. What's more, the 'horse fairy' is still based on the secret method of the Five Elements."
Lin Yi said as he took out the compass and placed it on the ground.
Use stones on the ground to draw shapes around the compass.
"This is the niche of the Snake Immortal, this is the niche of the Fox Immortal, these are the niches of the Mouse Immortal and the Hedgehog Immortal, and here are two Huang Daxian'er, connecting these five points. Together."
The shapes under his hands connected into a pentagon.
"The Five Elements Secret Technique Formation has been completed, and we are now trapped in the formation."
After listening to Lin Yi's description, the people around him felt a little creepy.
Unexpectedly, the "Lizard Man" and "Stone Tai Sui" at the entrance of the underground palace were just appetizers.
What is really powerful is this "Five Elements Secret Technique Formation".
"Is there anything powerful about this formation?"
"The laws of the Five Elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. The Qi of the Five Elements runs through it. Coupled with the blessing of the 'Five Immortals', it is really difficult to crack it."
"Then according to what you say, we can only wait here to die?"
"Then little A-mei and Mr. Xiao Qin, Captain Qiao and the others, aren't they?"
"I estimate that the five of them have now been possessed by the 'Five Immortals' and have become an important part of activating this magic circle. Maybe they are behind us now."
"ah!"
Bai Lu was so frightened by Lin Yi's words that she almost ejected from the spot.
"Five people? Where did they come from? Qin Laoer, his assistant, Captain Qiao and little sister, there are four people in total. You don't include Qin Renqian, do you? He is a dead man!"
Lin Yi stood up, put away the compass, and shook his head solemnly.
"Qin Renqian is just an introduction. This fifth person is in Wanya's belly."
"In the belly? You mean, little Amei is pregnant?"
