Everyone pushed open the broken red lacquer door and walked in.
I was startled as soon as I entered. Under the swaying beam of the flashlight, I saw many unexpected things placed in the hall.
During the lightning and thunder, I saw that the lonely building of the Feng family residence was full of strange stone beasts, and I was full of doubts in my heart.
Walking closer, I shined a flashlight again and again, and I saw that the stone beast had a ferocious face and a round body. It was somewhat similar to the stone lion in front of the door, but it had no majestic temperament and could only make people feel evil and abominable.
Fatty Wang said strangely: "These stone beasts don't look like the lions that guard the house, but they look like the stone sculptures guarding the tombs in the mausoleum area."
"It's definitely not a stone lion. Its mane is like a sword, its ears are surprisingly big, and its nostrils are pointed upward. Let me see... It's a black sheep. If you want to visit the Earthly Immortal, you should look for the Blackyang first. But I don't know if there is anything between the Earthly Immortal's tomb and these black sheep. Doesn’t matter?”
Professor Sun seemed a little surprised. He lay down on these stone sculptures and began to investigate them carefully.
Shirley Yang felt that what Professor Sun said might not be unreasonable, so she took out the camera hanging around her neck and took a few photos of these black sheep stone sculptures.
The supplies they brought were abundant. Fatty Wang lit a few candles to light up the situation, found a dry place in the building to set up a stove, boiled some hot water, and then turned on the fire to cook.
After they had eaten and drank enough, Hu Bayi called Fatty Wang, and the two of them wandered around the old house, trying to find any clues about Dixian Village.
This search actually led them to find a place on the second floor.
There are many drawings hanging on the wall on the table. If you look closely, you can see that the drawings are the structure of tunnels and mines, with the progress of the project marked in detail.
Looking at these drawings, Hu Bayi suddenly realized that when the air-raid shelters were built in the Qingxi area, Fengjiazhai was the construction headquarters. Later, the project was abandoned and invalidated, and even these drawings were not taken away during the evacuation.
The Wuyang stone carvings of the Feng family should not be ancient relics of the Feng family, but were dug out of the ground when the air-raid shelters were dug.
Hu Ba looked a little excited when he thought of this. He dug up black sheep from the ground. Does it mean that Dixian Village is actually not far away from them?
But after he looked at all the drawings, he felt a little disappointed.
These drawings show that all the salt mine mountains near Qingxi Town have been dug through, and the underground passages are intricate. If Dixian Village existed, they would have been dug out long ago.
The two took these drawings down, and Song Xing and others looked at them. Following the instructions of the blood talisman, they finally delineated an area in the southwest and prepared to go explore it the next day.
The next morning it was still rainy, so a few people simply had a good rest. Following the guidance of the drawings, they came to the southwest air defense passage.
It is said that this tunnel was originally a secret passage. It extends under the Feng family residence as a means of resisting unexpected events. Before liberation, the Fengjiazhai was mostly the residence of landlords and mine owners. Due to the unstable social situation and the rampant warlords and bandits, most of the mine owners who mined witch salt were rich in gold and gold, and their hands were stained with the blood of mining slaves.
The Feng family's old mansion is eerie and terrifying, like a dead city, but its secret passage is a mysterious world.
Once entering the dark passage, the surroundings were pitch black, with only faint shadows coming from the walls.
On both sides of the tunnel are walls made of earth and stone. The surface of the walls is covered with vines and ferns.
This area underground in Qingxi Ancient Town is full of connected arched warehouses, all built in former mines. The light gray cement walls give people a very solemn and cold look.
Where the cement has fallen off, you can still see the rock formations of the original mine tunnel, and local water seepage is very serious.
The simple power generation equipment has long been damaged and can no longer be used. We can only use flashlights to illuminate and rely on the reference provided by maps and compasses to move forward.
After walking like this for a while, I walked through a passage full of water vapor, pushed open an iron door, and the inside suddenly opened up. Above my head, there were streaks of bright light from outside the mountain. The rain had stopped, and there were waves of cool and refreshing breath. , everyone let out a sigh of relief.
At this point, the originally silent blood talisman suddenly floated up again, and then floated towards one of the passages.
Everyone looked at each other and followed in as expected.
After walking twists and turns in these mine tunnels for an unknown amount of time, I came to the end of a rock wall, where the blood talisman was hidden.
Song Xing stepped forward and gently brushed against the rock wall. The rock wall shattered silently, revealing a cave entrance, with mountains outside.
Opposite is a large cliff that touches the sky and touches the ground. It stands thousands of feet tall and is filled with misty clouds. Dozens of waterfalls formed after the rain rush out from the mountain and run straight to the valley bottom from the gaps in the cliff. Due to the extremely high mountain wall, the water pouring out, Like silver lines that go straight up and down, falling in the air between the lush and dangerous cliffs and ancient walls, it is a spectacular sight.
Fatty Wang wondered: "Where are you?"
Professor Sun looked at the stone wall opposite with a somewhat confused expression: "Looking at this scene, it seems that we have reached Coffin Gorge."
Fatty Wang turned his head: "Coffin Gorge?"
Professor Sun said: "A long time ago, there was an ancient custom here of "hanging coffins for good luck and falling trees for good luck". There were hanging coffins everywhere, so it got this name. Coffin Gorge does not just refer to one gorge, but to more than a dozen deep and dangerous gorges. They are criss-crossed in one place, and when viewed from a high place, the terrain looks like the word "Witch", also known as Xiao Wu Gorge."
Looking at the dangerous and dangerous ancient road opposite, Song Xing's heart moved and he chanted: "The bird path is criss-crossed and has nine turns per hundred steps."
Professor Sun also showed an excited look on his face: "You must be right. The Bird Path refers to this criss-crossing bird path. The Hundred-Step Bird Path should be one of them. As long as you find a way to find this path, you will be able to leave the fairyland." The entrance to the ancient tomb is not far away.”
After saying that, he looked at Song Xing calmly, but he didn't expect that the blood talisman made with his blood would actually find the entrance to Dixian Village.
At this time, a gust of wind blew away the clouds and mist in the air, revealing hanging coffins dotted all over the cliff on the opposite side. Everyone's hearts were shaken and they couldn't help but be horrified.
Such a large area is actually densely covered with hanging coffins. It is hard to imagine how the ancients placed these hanging coffins on this cliff?
Song Xing had excellent eyesight and could see clearly even from a long distance. Most of these hanging coffins were weathered and decayed due to their age, and they were afraid that if someone touched them, they would shatter into powder.
As early as the primitive tribes, there was already a vague awareness of Feng Shui. The place of residence must be distinguished from the cemetery and the place where animal remains are abandoned. This division is the prototype of the consciousness of the Yang house and the Yin house of Feng Shui in later generations.
In the tribal period, people already had the concept of orientation and understood the relationship between sunshine and wind and cold. "Near the water and facing the sun" has become the goal of selecting a homestead location.
During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, divination was very popular, and everything, no matter how big or small, was determined by divination. The King of Yin wanted to build a city in the northeast of Luzhi, and he asked many times: "When is it auspicious and where is it auspicious?" Turtle divination is not only used for divination of houses, but also for state affairs. It can be said that the Yin and Zhou Dynasties were the gestation period of Feng Shui.
"Shangshu·Pangeng" says: "Pangeng moved to the original place where he lived. Pangeng moved the capital and chose a site near a mountain to avoid evil and seek good luck. Sure enough, after Pangeng moved to Yin, "Yin Dao was revived." The Shang Dynasty ruled for several hundred more years and created a splendid bronze culture.
Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, although the detailed Feng Shui theory had not yet been formed, the criteria for selecting Yin and Yang houses were the same, that is, "within nature, heaven and man are one."
Song Xing looked towards the opposite side attentively. Everyone didn't know why he was staring at the hanging coffins in a daze. They thought he had never seen so many hanging coffins, but they saw that Song Xing had already stepped out of the plank road outside the cave, heading straight down. The river surface fell, causing a burst of exclamation.
