He Siniang bit her red lips after hearing this, but it was difficult to guess the reason. The Taoist Priest with a grimace thought that instead of standing here and making guesses, it would be better to go back and brainstorm with everyone, so he waved his hand to signal He Siniang to evacuate, and waited until he went up to ask Xia Houyun and the others. What means.
Back in the ear room, Luo Laoqi couldn't wait for a long time. Seeing this, he quickly asked the two of them where it led downstairs. Was there a treasure pavilion hidden there?
The Taoist priest with a grimace replied: "I didn't see the palace, but I found one in the city. I don't know if there is a treasure hidden there."
"What?! A city?" Luo Laoqi asked with wide eyes: "Is it the kind of city that the Sa family thinks of? Is it full of treasures?"
"Why are you obedient and only half-heard?" The Taoist Priest with a grimace described what he saw below in detail. Now it was Xia Houyun's turn to become uncomfortable and asked hurriedly: "The Taoist Master said that there are two dark sides of Yin and Yang below. A river passes through the valley, and there is a city at the intersection of the rivers?"
"The intersection is a stone mountain, and the city is built on the mountain." The Taoist priest with a grimace explained: "But I am not sure whether it is a city or not. After all, the platform is too far from the bottom of the valley. I can only vaguely see a series of houses and pavilions. It’s as big as a city, more like a town to be precise.”
Xia Houyun nodded, and then muttered: "There is a valley at the bottom of the mountain... there is a river at the bottom of the valley... there is a city in the river... I have never heard of such a scene in my life, and there is no similar record in Feng Shui. What on earth is this place? "
"Not to mention that the seniors don't know, even the poor Taoist was shocked just now. In his daze, he even thought it was a miracle of heaven. Otherwise, with the abilities of ordinary people, how could the city be built hundreds of feet underground?"
"The Taoist Master said this. The old man's appetite is really unbearable. If it's convenient, why don't we go down and have a look?"
Hearing this, Luo Laoqi also interjected: "That's right, walking down dozens of stairs is just as long as farting. What's the delay in taking a look and coming back? It's not a good feeling to feel so stuck."
The Taoist Priest with a grimace thought for a while, and it was not Xia Houyun's fault that they were curious about this matter. It would definitely be the same on anyone, and the reverse fight was indeed within an hour or three, so he said: "Then let's go down and have a look. Old Seven, why don't you do it?" The mace in your hand got stuck in the chute of the stone bed, be careful not to cut off the way back."
In this way, everyone once again came to the platform where the sarcophagus was. After seeing the wonderful scene at the bottom of the valley, they were all shocked and speechless. The Taoist Priest with a grimace had been vaccinated and was much calmer at this time. He spoke first: "Senior Xiahou What do you think when you see this scene with your own eyes? Do you see some tricks?"
Xia Houyun came back to his senses, shook his head and replied: "I'm afraid this can't be explained by Feng Shui. Could it be that it's just like what the Taoist priest said, it's a miracle?"
"Pindao also believed before that without exploring the wonders at the bottom of the valley in person, it would be impossible to guess the truth based on mere guesses. But we still have important things to do, so we can only finish Li Tianwen's side first, and then come together to discuss matters at the bottom of the valley. "
"Well, what the Taoist priest said is right. Li Tianwen is an official pirate camp. We can only be sure of victory if we understand the detailed layout of Shizhou Huozhu's son-in-law tomb and take advantage of the right time and place. But let's talk about it. The chief's initial doubt was, where did the set of instruments for criticizing the judge in the sarcophagus in front of him come from? If we don't clarify this question, there is no guarantee that there is some conspiracy hidden by the Li family. "
The grim-faced Taoist priest nodded in agreement, and then said: "Pindao has been thinking about this issue since just now. First of all, we don't care about the contents of the sarcophagus, and we will start with the analysis of this stone step tunnel. Judging from the roughness of the tunnel construction, It is almost impossible for this place to be part of Shi Zhou and Zhu's mausoleum. It was most likely dug out secretly by the mausoleum builders and the entrance was hidden in the mechanism of the stone bed in the ear room, not to protect against theft, but to prevent the royal family from entering. People have discovered it, do you think this conjecture of Pindao is correct?"
Hearing this, Xia Houxiang rarely spoke up and said: "Although this tunnel was built in a very sloppy way, but based on this alone, we can't conclude that it was built secretly by the craftsmen, right? Maybe this is the coffin chamber of Shi Zhou Huozhu, but it was built hastily because of the tight construction schedule. Is it finished?"
"On our way here, we saw that all the supporting rooms of the underground palace are very neat. This shows that Shi Zhouzhu's tomb is very complete. The situation you mentioned will never happen. Just imagine, the entire underground palace All the construction is completed, but there is no time for the tunnel to be refined?"
He Siniang echoed at this time: "I also think that the stone staircase tunnel was built by craftsmen, but at first we mistakenly thought it was a dog hole for escape, but now it seems that there is something fishy here."
"What the Taoist Master and Siniang mean is that this underground space was discovered by craftsmen early on, and a secret passage was left to lead here. So what is the use of this sarcophagus?" Xia Houyun asked.
The grimace Taoist priest did not directly answer Xia Houyun, but suddenly raised a question: "Have you ever had such a conjecture - that the Feng Shui master responsible for selecting and building the mausoleum... is a critical judge?"
"Oh?!" As soon as the Taoist Ghostface said this, several people in the venue were stunned. The two smart women, such as Xia Houyun and He Si Niang, immediately understood the meaning of the Taoist Ghostface's words, and then said in unison: "This sarcophagus Are you criticizing the judge?!"
What the Grimace Taoist means is that the Feng Shui master named "Jianghua Taoist" is actually a criticizing judge who fights against others. The criticizing judge is very different from other factions of the Mushroom Sect. In addition, he does not dislike any kind of money-making career. He especially likes to hug the royal family and eat stable official food. This can be seen from Li Tianwen's work as the Youzhai alchemist in Liu Xiuyou's mansion. It can be said that this faction is just fighting against each other. The last resort means to make a living, and the real ambition has always been to climb up the officialdom.
This may be the case for Jianghua Taoist, who somehow managed to get into the Hou Zhao royal family from a rebellious person, and presided over the construction of Shi Zhou Huozhu's mausoleum. He first discovered the Chaos Dragon Cave of the "Hebo Ning Palace" and decided to build the mausoleum here. However, he criticized the judge for his limited attainments in Feng Shui and did not know that the Hebo Ning Palace was not suitable for burial, so he decided to build the mausoleum here. The problems he encountered were all recorded on the tombstone one by one. Fortunately, he was familiar with the people of the officialdom, and finally lied to get over it. So far, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end, and he saved his life with his tomb.
However, what made the Taoist priest with a grimace suspicious was another sentence on the tombstone - the craftsmen who built the mausoleum accidentally dug up a place, which is said to be the gate of the ghost mansion. There were countless ghost shadows jumping around in the cave, and there were miserable wailing sounds. Could this be the tunnel being dug?
They are now on the platform at the end of the tunnel and cannot see the so-called ghosts and other objects at all. This means two situations. One is that this place is not the place described on the tombstone; the other is that someone is lying. Ninety-nine percent of the time, this person is probably the same Jianghua Taoist who built the mausoleum.
