I curled my face and pursed my lips: "Then I can't take a look. I wonder if there are any other passages in this place. For example, if this mechanism is connected to an exit, then I won't go in and take a look. You just missed it."
The fourth uncle glared at me angrily: "It's just nonsense."
Soon, the fourth uncle completely dug through the wall next to me, and then climbed into the space to rescue me.
"This mechanism is made of steel chains. It wraps around your ankle tightly. It's bleeding now. Don't move any more. I'll split it open for you."
The fourth uncle rummaged for tools in his bag, took out a short knife, lay behind me, and started cutting with a "squeak" sound.
The mechanism in this tomb is really ingenious, but times have changed after all. The most powerful sword in ancient times is just a good-looking piece of scrap metal now, which cannot withstand powerful steel tools. The fourth uncle took the knife and sharpened it slowly. It took about two minutes to cut off the chain.
"Hiss—" I cried out in relief and finally took my feet away.
I continued to climb out and sat in the tomb, looking at my pair of arms. There was already a circle of bright red blood marks on my ankles.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and no muscles or bones were damaged, just a little bit of flesh and blood suffering.
"Hmph, don't keep your eyes open or move your hands and feet, otherwise you will die next time if you don't save everything. No matter how capable we are, we can't save you." The fourth uncle warned me.
I nodded, scratched my head and said I got it.
The fourth uncle shouted to the people outside to say he was safe, and then continued to say to me: "Wen Shan, let's go to the front and walk around the tomb."
As he said that, the fourth uncle grabbed my sleeve and led me towards the front of the tomb.
The cemetery is roughly in the shape of a "hui" character, with the "mouth" in the middle being the largest coffin.
We walked around and were completely stunned.
The inside of this tomb has become a dead end. What should we do?
Maybe there are other mysteries hidden in the two empty places I just discovered?
The fourth uncle thought for a moment, and then led me to dig another hole. The layout of the blue bricks there was almost the same as the previous one, and it was still symmetrical.
The fourth uncle and I took turns wielding shovels and started digging, and within a few minutes we were able to get through it.
The space inside is similar to the one just now. When we shine it with a flashlight, we can see many ceramic utensils and the like glowing dimly.
The two of us took flashlights and looked up, and saw many chains and some mechanism levers.
Obviously, this is the same device as the one just now. I'm afraid if I try to move it around at this time, I will be tied up by this thing again.
The fourth uncle asked me not to move. We are now going to find a way to discuss it with people outside.
He ran to the entrance of the cave and shouted outside, calling Liu Ruxiang, Chen Guangge and the fortune teller in.
The space deep in the tomb is small, and now that five people have entered including me, the place immediately feels a little stuffy.
I gently wiped the sweat from my forehead.
Chen Guangge's face was ashen, he glanced here and said: "The oxygen in the air deep here is thin, we still have to find a way as soon as possible, and there is not much oxygen at the entrance of the cave. Once any abnormal situation occurs, maybe all of us will be killed." I'm going to die of suffocation here."
Chen Guangge's words were so convincing that no one could question them.
"I think the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell. Let the fortune teller take a look at this issue. Let us all come here. How can we find a way to escape from death?"
Faced with Chen Guangge's questioning, the fortune teller remained calm, gently stroked his beard, and then said in a deep voice: "Of course it is in this place. I can faintly feel that there is still a lack of improvement in this place."
Talking like a riddle, Liu Ruxiang immediately asked: "Then what exactly is a turning point? If the turning point never comes, are we going to be left here waiting to die?"
The fortune-teller didn't say much, and began to pace gently touching the walls of the surrounding tomb.
We immediately followed him and saw him stopping at the opening of the two small tombs.
Finally, the fortune teller said: "Master Chen, you are an expert in Feng Shui. Come and take a look. How is this place?"
Chen Guangge was a little confused, then looked around for a while, and finally squatted down and picked up some mud from the ground and wall, observed it for a while, then put it in his mouth, tasted it gently, and said:
"This place is relatively average from the direction of Kanyu, and it will not bring any special wealth or official fortune to future generations. However, this place is indeed close to a Yin vein, and the Yin energy is relatively strong. In terms of the weight of the land, it is relatively Suitable for burial.”
When I looked at Chen Guangge, I felt that his words had weight, and he was an extraordinary fierce man just because of his courage to shout and taste the grave soil.
After all, this is a place where dead people are buried, and the location is not far from the skeletons next to the main tomb. God knows if the Shishui that corrupted people after their deaths hundreds of years ago has flowed to the land beneath their feet.
The fortune teller also looked thoughtful after hearing Chen Guangge's explanation.
"That's right, I estimate that the turning point for this place should lie with the owner of this tomb, the ancestor of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town!" Mr. Fortune Teller spoke sonorously and forcefully, pointing straight at the huge stone coffin in the middle.
We all stared at him with our eyes wide open, as if we were looking at a fool.
"What are you talking about? The ancestor of the Chen family has passed away for so many years, can you still resurrect him now?" Chen Guangge frowned and asked.
I thought it was incredible at first, but when I heard Chen Guangge’s words, I suddenly thought of something.
The fortune teller shook his hand: "No, Master Chen, I mean, the owner of this tomb can help us with the difficulties we encountered today. Moreover, his soul may still be here."
I nodded my head, and sure enough, this fortune teller was exactly what I thought.
In our intellectual research, people have three souls. After a person dies, one soul will go to heaven and return to his ancestral gods. The second soul will follow the body and be buried in the grave. The three souls went to hell to be judged by the King of Hell.
Therefore, in our Master's Law, there is a "asking God to fulfill a wish", that is, because the souls of ancestors have become ancestral gods, this ritual must be performed under the ancestor's shrine or next to the ancestor's grave in the cemetery.
And now, I know what the fortune teller means. He definitely wants us to use rituals to summon the souls of the ancestors of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town, so that he can point out the route for us and come up with specific solutions.
The three of us in the Liu family immediately understood.
"Masters of the Liu family, you should understand what I mean, right? I leave this matter to you today. You must summon the soul of this ancestor." The fortune teller said and patted the fourth uncle's shoulder gently. .
I didn't expect it to be a religious ceremony for my master. If it were another problem and we were asked to think of a solution, most of us really wouldn't be able to think of it. But now we just need to do our best teacher-gong method, so how difficult can it be?
Soon, Chen Guangge and the fortune teller slowly retreated.
Another master from the Western sect came in and formed a temporary master team with the three of us. One more person would give us more strength.
Because normally, this kind of work is called Da Chuantou, and is done by an entire teacher team, at least five or six people. Now it can only be said that it is a makeshift job.
We talked for a few words, and then began to decorate the altar, put banners and proclamations on the tombs, and then started the altar practice. The fourth uncle would be the master of the altar, sitting on the ground motionless.
At this time, I just did what I remembered, until the soul possessed Liu Ruxiang.
I stood on the edge and stared closely, and saw Master Liu Ruxiang drawing strange runes on his face, and then his full head of black hair was hanging down.
I clenched my fists and my palms were covered in sweat.
The master from Jiangxi School started calling according to the name of his ancestors that Chen Yulin told us, as if Liu Ruxiang had performed soul-calling rituals many times before.
Soon, something different happened to Liu Ruxiang!
"Uh... uh... ah-ah!"
Liu Ruxiang suddenly shouted, and then her crossed legs began to kick forward violently.
"Ah, ah, I -" An extremely terrifying thing happened. After these few groans, Liu Ruxiang's voice suddenly turned into the voice of a heavy, breathing old man.
I was almost startled, and lowered my head tightly, and then I saw that Liu Ruxiang's face almost had the wrinkles of an elderly person at this moment, coupled with that incongruous and scary smile, This familiar and unfamiliar look is simply creepy.
I was trembling, and then I heard Chen Yulin next to me start speaking according to the issues discussed before.
"Ancestor, please save me. I am your fourteenth-generation great-great-grandson Chen Yulin. My Chen family in Shuanghu Town suffered a disaster. We all fled here. Please help me, this unscrupulous descendant, find a way for us. The way out, otherwise we will all die here."
After Liu Ruxiang heard the words, her face immediately became gloomy, and her words were extremely hoarse, filled with a rotten death aura.
"Hmph... hum..." Liu Ruxiang suddenly twisted the corner of her mouth, and a strange smile appeared on her face.
"You want to go out...you want to go out..."
Chen Yulin nodded desperately at this time: "Yes, please ask the ancestors for guidance, and I will offer incense to you every day from now on."
Liu Ruxiang's expression was startled, and then she said, "Okay, then I'll tell you, the way out is right under my butt."
"Hmph hum… hum…"
Liu Ruxiang's words became hoarse, and finally she suddenly raised her head and glared at Chen Yulin.
