"The secret passage is hidden behind the corpse murals!" Xia Houyun was slightly excited and said: "Blocking the entrance of the secret passage with dry glue, and then painting a mural to cover it up can hide the eyes from others. Why didn't we think of it? Or Luo Be sharp and sharp."

The grimace Taoist priest was also curious about why Luo Laoqi would poke the zombie for no reason, so he asked: "Lao Qi, did you just find something fishy? Otherwise, why would you poke it?"

"Sajia just feels angry...didn't it ruin my face?"



"People say that stupid people are blessed with stupid things. You are really indebted to me. Without your prodding and prodding, it would have been really hard to find the secret passage." The Taoist Priest with a grimace said, pushing aside the zombies on the ground with his feet. , this vengeful corpse raising gu is very similar to the rumored evil ghost Shi Xinpo. At that time, I was probably looking for that look, and I don’t know what the hidden meaning is. There are thousands of grievance corpses in the world. I just found a crumpled thing to embed on the top of the tomb. Even if it was a pretty girl, I could now look at Lao Qi's face much more pleasingly.

The Taoist priest with a grimace was worried that Shi Xin Po might be hiding his corpse, so he tied her up with ropes. At this time, Luo Laoqi stood up on tiptoes and groped for the entrance of the cave. He found that the entrance to the secret passage was about one foot long and half a foot wide. It was originally a square However, in order to embed the zombies, a layer of plaster was filled in at the entrance, leaving only a human figure. The outer layer was covered with wooden boards to make the area near the entrance of the cave even with the rest of the top of the corridor.

After looking at it, Luo Laoqi asked: "Taoist Master, do you want to open the door for Dongzi?"

The grim-faced Taoist priest tied up the zombie, stood up and walked over, replying: "You first shine the torch into the cave."

Luo Laoqi raised the torch and poked his way in from the belly of the human-shaped cave entrance. Through the light, he could see that there was still a horizontal corridor above, which was exactly staggered in height from the one below. There was only a half-foot-thick rock layer between them, but the one above was The entrance to the corridor is right above the heads of the three of them. The other end of the auspicious beast cloud map is all solid rock. This means that the main trend of the corridor is still forward. However, the corridor below ends and the only way is to climb to the upper level. Only then can we move on.

"Let's do it, Old Seven, just leave a big opening for passage." The Taoist priest with a grimace said.

Luo Laoqi nodded, then used a crowbar to pry open the wooden board, and began to break off the plaster around the entrance of the hole. After working like this for a while, Luo Laoqi had expanded a round hole slightly larger than the millstone on the top of the corridor.

The Taoist priest with a grimace patted Luo Laoqi and said, "That's it." Then he walked towards He Siniang. It happened that Xia Houxiang also woke up leisurely at this time. The Taoist priest with a grimace saw this and said, "It's time to wake up. Let's come back to our senses." Gotta keep moving.”

Xia Houyun came over and asked about Xia Houxiang's physical condition. Xia Houxiang shook his head and said he was fine. At this time, Xia Houyun looked at Xia Houxiang and seemed to want to say something more, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking and just sighed slightly. Most likely she felt a headache for her unsatisfactory grandnephew. When He Siniang saw this, she smoothed things over and said, "It's just that I changed into my opera robe so suddenly that I suddenly shocked the Xiahou clan master."

Xia Houyun waved his hand and said: "This is the current rule of fighting in Yuefu. What's wrong with He Siniang in acting according to the rules? It's because the old grandnephew is short of breath due to accidents, and he still needs to practice more."

The grim-faced Taoist priest didn't want to see them giving in on this matter, so he interrupted and said, "Siniang, where are your opera robes hidden? Why do you put them on every time without anyone noticing?"

"Before the fight, I will wear the opera robe under the night clothes. When necessary, you can just take off the night clothes. Besides, I was still half an opera singer before, so changing into a robe can't be done in the blink of an eye?"

"It's not too hot for you to wear so much..."

"The old man had a fight with the current lama in Yuefu decades ago. At that time, in addition to Mrs. Qi, there were also Wu Taijun, Aunt Cat, Qi Gu with a pockmarked face, etc. When they entered the fight, they had all kinds of opera robes, red and black. , it’s really a unique scene, it’s a pity...Old lady Qi is the only one left now.”

"Does Senior Xiahou still have a relationship with Mrs. Qi?"

"That was all in the past. Faqiumen and Jinyuefu used to be very close, and they would often cooperate with lamas. However, since they stumbled in a fierce battle, the contacts between the two families have become much less frequent, and now there is almost no contact between them. How did you contact me?"

"Mrs. Qi is busy becoming an immortal and has no time. Let's not talk about this. Lao Qi is grinning and anxious again."

The Taoist priest with a grimace and Xia Houyun helped Xia Houxiang up, and they quickly walked towards Luo Laoqi. Luo Laoqi had been impatient for a long time. After everyone gathered together, they quickly carried them to the upper corridor one by one, and then the people above worked together to lift them. Luo Laoqi pulled him up and began to explore further.

The upper corridor is much shorter. With the height of the grim-faced Taoist priest, he has to walk carefully. If he is not careful, he will hit his head. Luo Laoqi needs to bend down a little. After taking two steps, he said angrily: "Not all Are you saying that the beard is tall? He is so short because of the construction of the tomb passage? Is he sick?!"

"Who told you that Hu people are tall? They are just stronger. Besides, the corridor was built for the owner of the tomb. It was carried in horizontally, not vertically. What's the use of being so tall? Huh? In front of you. Is that a stone monument?"

Everyone walked forward and saw a half-man-high stone tablet standing in the middle of the corridor not far ahead. Under the stone tablet was a stone-carved Bixi. It was on all fours and looked fierce. It was the most common monument-bearing mythical beast in Han culture. .

There are many legends about the origin of Bixi. Some say that it is one of the nine sons of the dragon; some say that it is a variant form of the mythical beast Xuanwu; others say that Bixi is a rebellious evil beast that Dayu subdued when he was controlling floods. , but the Taoist priest with a grimace felt that this should only be derived from ancient totem worship. Its original prototype was the old turtle, which meant longevity and good luck. Later, after it was turned into a totem, the image became more complex and fierce, and the reason why it was used The image used to carry the stele is also based on its characteristics of longevity and ease of carrying things. It is intended to rely on its magical power to make the inscriptions last forever.

There were many words engraved on the front of the stele, and the font used was actually regular script. The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at the shape and text of the stele, and sneered: "This is obviously a tomb of a barbarian, but the steles of praise are all made in Han Dynasty. It seems that Hu The Hanization of people did not just appear in recent years, it was probably already there a hundred years ago."

"The Hu people do not have their own writing. This trend is inevitable." Xia Houyun said: "Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, the luck of the Han people has declined and they have been repeatedly oppressed by the Hu people. However, compared to the Hu people, the Han culture is still ahead. For a moment, consider that before they wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, many tribes were still primitive societies, and there were even sporadic matrilineal societies that couldn’t even smelt iron, let alone invent writing.”

"Hey! The fact that the Han people can be oppressed by these beards in this corner of the Yangtze River is really blocked. But when I read the words on the tombstone, why do I feel more and more frightened? Especially this sentence - 'This is the dragon fetus of chaos' It is difficult to determine the good or bad, and there is a fear of changes in the burial, so we can only replace it with clothes. Is this a clothes tomb?"
