"If we just talk about building a poison gas trap, it is naturally not difficult. But what kind of poison gas can make people crazy? I have never heard of this."
"Where's Si Niang?"
He Siniang shook her head: "I only make some incense. The poison that causes madness has never been heard of even in today's Yuefu."
"Isn't it poisoning?" The grim-faced Taoist priest pondered: "Old Madam Qi and the others specially captured Hongyu Girl before they came to fight. Could it be that there is really something dirty in the fight?"
"That's right!" Meng Qingyao suddenly interrupted: "I remember that when Zhao Sanshui came to ask for help just now, he was clearly wearing a mask on his face."
"Oh? It seems that Zhao Sanshui has realized something, so let's cover our faces quickly to avoid falling into the same trap when we pass by."
After speaking, the Taoist priest with a grimace tightly covered his face. After Meng Qingyao's reminder, everyone seemed to have concluded that some kind of poisonous gas mechanism was at work, and for a moment they put all other thoughts behind their minds. The Taoist priest with a grimace was even more anxious. As he was rushing, he completely forgot that there were two cold eyes staring at him at the other end of the cave.
Rushing back to Sanchakou, the three of them continued to rush into the cave. After about fifty or sixty steps, the cave suddenly became clear. Then, a gloomy building in the middle of the cave suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"This...this..." Meng Qingyao was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly, and Taoist Priest Grimace and He Siniang couldn't help but marveled at each other as they had experienced and experienced a lot.
I saw that it was a pavilion made purely of stone, about two feet high and three feet wide. It was right in the middle of the cave. The bottom was supported by several huge stone pillars, making the entire pavilion suspended above the cave. The left and right sides of the foundation Each has a bluestone step connecting the ground. From a distance, it gives people the feeling of stepping into a fortress like a city gate.
The three of them never imagined that such a building would appear while walking. Not to mention other things, just looking at this pavilion, I am afraid that the scale of the entire mausoleum will be quite large.
The grimace Taoist priest was thinking about rescuing people. At this time, he had no time to carefully consider the appearance and structure of the pavilion. He turned to He Siniang and said, "Let's go up and have a look." After that, he took the lead and walked up the stone steps. .
The grim-faced Taoist priest glanced at the water line on the stone wall next to him as he walked. He speculated that when the flood season came, the entire pavilion was still above the water level, which meant that the environment in the pavilion was relatively dry, so he said to He and Siniang: "Catch them all, be careful there is An Qingzi in the building."
Climbing up the stone steps, the three of them found that the main door of the pavilion was half open. It was quiet and dark behind the door, and there was no sign of the Zhao brothers' activities.
The grim-faced Taoist priest came to the door with fluorite in hand. He first carefully looked inward, said "Huh?", and then stepped into the stone door.
The air in the pavilion is very smooth, and the poisonous gas trap that the grimace Taoist is worried about is basically impossible to appear here. He held up the fluorite and looked around, then said to the two people at the door: "Come in, there should be no danger."
The space in the pavilion is not small, but the layout is very oppressive. There are stone tablets as high as one person standing everywhere in the hall... It is more appropriate to say that it is a stone tablet, it is better to say it is a stone screen, because most of them are more than one foot wide. .
The stone screens were densely packed and erected at different angles all over the hall. The fluorite was bright everywhere, and there were even colorful shadows flowing on them. It seemed that the stone screens were all painted with some kind of pattern.
The Taoist priest with a grimace approached a stone screen with doubts. Unexpectedly, what he saw was a bloody picture of a cut in half.
I don’t know what kind of paint was used for the patterns on the stone screen, but they were still very bright in this environment. The grim-faced Taoist priest could clearly see the contents of the picture with just one glance - it was clearly a group of people killing people in the lobby. In the picture of having fun, there are two people in the picture who have a very deep impression of grim-faced Taoist priests. One is wearing a crown, sitting in the hall and laughing heartily; the other is wearing a Taoist robe, with a sinister expression on one side, like a sorcerer. people.
"That person should be Wang Mang." Meng Qingyao said from behind.
The grimace Taoist also had this suspicion, but seeing Meng Qingyao's certainty, he asked, "How can you see it?"
"This picture is of a famous disaster in the New Dynasty. It is called 'Broken Golden Body' in history books. The person who was cut in half was a surrendered prince of the Han Dynasty. He offended Wang Mang's most favored prince in the court. Fang Shilu was born again, so he used prophecies to harm him, and he was chopped in half in the court hall in full view of everyone."
"Oh~ I see."
"Not only this one, I see that other stone screens also seem to depict all kinds of cruel things that happened during the New Dynasty. So, Taoist Priest, do you think this place... is a mausoleum from the New Dynasty?"
"I also feel that the painting on the stone screen is full of resentment. Maybe it was the murdered nobleman who built it with hatred."
"Well, the Taoist priest's analysis makes sense."
"But the poor Taoist saw that there are no other objects here except some stone screens. Is it possible that such a stone building was built just to vent the resentment of the tomb owner?" The Taoist priest with a grimace turned his head and called out to He Siniang. Seeing it, He had already gone to the Shiping Forest to search, so he shouted loudly: "Did you find anything? Are there any Zhao brothers?"
"No! But there seems to be a way ahead."
"Oh?" The Taoist priest with a grimace shook his head towards Meng Qingyao: "Brother Meng, let's go over and have a look."
The two quickly caught up with He Siniang. Seeing them, He Siniang couldn't help but frowned and said, "What the hell is this place? It's full of disgusting pictures like corpses and decapitated bodies! The owner of the tomb is He Yanwangye's family." Do you have any relatives?"
"Who knew, when the Taoist Priest and I walked together, we could see those bloody scenes on both sides, which made me feel a little numb."
"Then let's go quickly, I still have goosebumps all over my body." He Siniang said and pointed to the back hall door: "The door over there is open, and I seem to see a bridge connected to the back. "
"Okay, it's important to save people. I don't even want to stay in this damn place for a moment."
The three of them walked quickly through the stone screen forest. When they walked out of the back door, they saw a stone bridge outside leading to the front.
The stone bridge is wide enough for two people to pass side by side. The bottom is still supported by stone pillars, and the overall trend is straight forward in the direction of the cave.
The three of them were sure that there was no other side road, so they walked onto the stone bridge one by one.
As we continued to advance on the bridge, the surrounding caves began to gradually shrink. After walking seventy or eighty steps, the entire bridge was already very close to the ground. At this time, not far ahead, a line seemed to appear faintly in the darkness. entrance of the cave.
The grim-faced Taoist priest looked back at the way down and speculated that the shape of the entire cave was like a water drop lying horizontally, and the entire bridge and stone tower were placed horizontally in it. Because the space above the cave was large enough, even if the flood season came, the stone tower would be Unlike most stone bridges, they can still be suspended high above the water, preventing floods from rushing into the stone buildings and destroying many of the stone screen paintings.
