"I was so confused after hearing this." Zhao Ermu scratched his head and said, "Are you saying that after they came here, they became ancient people?"
"To be precise, after I went crazy, I have always had a feeling that there seems to be some mystery hidden in this tomb. It can not only make people crazy, but also... well, how should I put it..."
"Insane due to certain settings?" The Taoist Priest with a grimace asked cautiously.
"Yes! That's what it means!"
"This...is this a bit unbelievable? The Soul Leaving Formation in Dou Li can indeed make people go crazy, but if they go crazy according to the settings... Pindao thinks it is really ridiculous. It is impossible no matter how you think about it, and it is crazy. It's not just her, Boss Zhao and Monster Ning were also hit." The Taoist Priest with a grimace said, looking at Zhao Ermu: "Did your elder brother behave abnormally when he escaped?"
"It's abnormal enough that he ran away." Zhao Ermu thought about it for a moment and said, "I really didn't pay attention to the other things. He disappeared as soon as I let go, and there was no fuss or fuss."
"What about the Taoist Priest? You have fought against Boss Zhao and Old Monster Ning. Can you confirm that they don't have the symptoms of the two girls?"
"No, Pindao had been fighting with them for a long time, and I didn't hear anyone call me "Zhewei's lackey"."
He Siniang sighed after hearing this, and said thoughtfully: "That's strange. Why are four people who are equally crazy, in different states?"
"If you ask me, it's just a coincidence. If that person is crazy, he is crazy. How can he be crazy according to some rules like what you two just said."
"No, it's not a coincidence. I know something is different. The two girls went crazy and started fighting, but Boss Zhao and Monster Ning were in the fight from the beginning to the end."
"So they became ancient people because they breathed fresh air?"
"Breathe! Anyway, they must have been affected by something after they went out, otherwise their behavior would not be so weird." He Siniang glanced at the grim-faced Taoist priest as he spoke, and saw that the latter was contemplating and silent, so she asked: "Tao What do you think?"
The grim-faced Taoist came back to his senses, nodded and said: "I'll leave it to you, Siniang, to analyze this matter probably. It just so happens that the poor Taoist wants to come up with something."
"What?"
"Do you still remember the stone building halfway through the tunnel?"
"Remember... oh!" He Siniang covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Does the Taoist want to say that those two girls were not fighting, but because they entered that stone building?"
"Well, the stone building is built on the only way in and out. After the two girls were hit by the Soul Leaving Formation, they probably followed the stone bridge and entered the stone building on the way out of the fight. As a result, they behaved surprisingly strangely. Boss Zhao and Ning The old monster has been trapped in the Soul Leaving Array, and may have never left the entire tomb, let alone the stone building, so even if they are both crazy, their symptoms are different."
"Yes, when I think about it carefully, it seems that the difference lies in that stone building."
"Wait a minute, what do you two mean?" Zhao Ermu asked doubtfully, "Is there something fishy hidden in that stone building?"
"You've never been in?"
"No." He Siniang said: "In order to rush in and out these few times, I took him under the bridge."
"No wonder." The grim-faced Taoist priest turned to Zhao Ermu and explained: "There is a forest of steles inside the stone building. The paintings on the steles are all the evil deeds committed by the Wang Mang Group. The painting style is bloody and terrifying, and the use of colors is bold, and the overall atmosphere is... The atmosphere looks very unusual.”
"so what?"
"you…"
"So the Taoist priest suspects that the atmosphere is intentional. The purpose is to let crazy people come in and wash their brains again."
"Yes, think about it. After a mentally disturbed person enters the stone building and shuttles through the forest of steles, his eyes are filled with stone carvings and writings about Wang Mang's evil deeds. This will undoubtedly have a huge impact on him. So, After this person comes out, he will most likely become a puppet full of resentment towards Wang Mang."
"puppet?"
"Yes, a puppet that spreads curses for the Fu family. In theory, it is endless. As long as someone accidentally falls into the water during the dry season and is taken into the tomb by the undercurrent, then when this person comes out of the tomb, he will change You have to be like Jiang Sanwan’s daughter-in-law, a “previous dynasty person” who always talks about Wang Mang’s fate.”
"So the "eternal curse" mentioned in the epitaph actually means this?"
"Otherwise? Do you think there are really people in the world who pray to ghosts and gods to bring disaster?
Is this sorcery for others? "
"That's not true... Huh? That's not right, Taoist Master."
"What's wrong?"
"I remember the rumors about Jiang Sanwan's wife. It seems that she was wearing New Dynasty clothes at that time, right?"
"Um."
"Then how to explain this? The new dynasty is hundreds of years old."
"Hiss... I'm a little unsure about this. Do you think it's because the costumes haven't changed much, and the rumors spread by the three of them have changed the true nature of the matter?"
He Siniang thought for a moment after hearing this, and then replied: "The clothing of the Southern Dynasties followed the Han system. It is possible that the changes have not been much, but I am still more inclined to the latter. That means the truth has been spread. After all, what happened at that time?" We haven’t seen it with our own eyes.”
"Yes, we have seen a lot of folk rumors that are true or false. What's more, Jiang Sanwan also went crazy later. How can people believe the words of a madman?"
"So you two took half a day to figure things out?" Zhao Ermu suddenly interjected.
"Almost, why don't you understand yet?"
"I was confused when I heard the clothes, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can figure it out. I don't care about those things now. I just want to catch the fish quickly, and then wait for the water to recede so that I can find my brother."
"Just say that you have to hurry in." The Taoist Priest with a grimace waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Ermu to go to the tomb door. He followed behind and continued: "The coffin can't be run away there, but it is too important to sort out these things clearly, such as There is one detail that none of you seem to have noticed, and that is Princess Pingdu’s surname.”
"Isn't her surname Liu?" Zhao Ermu said casually as he stepped into the tomb door.
"After remarrying."
"After remarrying, my name was Xue Shouxiao, and my surname was Xue..." He Siniang frowned: "Fourth Master Xue?!"
The Taoist priest with a grimace nodded: "Are there some strange signs about to emerge? It's his grandma's. I just hope this is a coincidence, otherwise the twists and turns inside will be enough for us to think about for a while."
"I hope so, I always feel that things are not that simple."
"It's not our turn to do simple things. Let's go in first. Zhao Laoer has already walked to the coffin."
The two stopped talking and quickly came to Zhao Ermu in front of the coffin. At this time, lying in front of the three people was an open stone coffin with a cypress coffin inside. The lid of the coffin had also been pried open and was planted crookedly. next to.
Everyone was a little disappointed when they saw this. They didn't expect Mrs. Qi to move so fast. When the grim-faced Taoist priest shined the fluorite light into the coffin, they saw that there was nothing but a skeleton inside, and there was not even a shadow of burial objects inside or outside the coffin. .
