Looking at the empty space under their feet, the beam seemed to be held up by something, sinking little by little. Hu Bayi and the others only felt the cold wind in the canyon blowing on them, making their whole bodies cold.
Looking at Song Xing's figure, it was like seeing a ghost.
"Master Song, what's going on?" Fatty Wang asked in a trembling voice.
Song Xing pointed to the blood talisman on Professor Sun's shoulder and said, "Dixian Village is below."
Hu Bayi looked at the beam at his feet, then at the bottomless canyon at his feet, and suddenly said: "That's it."
Fatty Wang looked at him: "Old Hu, what do you have in mind?"
Hu Bayi said: "The land of Bashan is veined by dragons, and the clouds and rain are ethereal. Since King Wuyang can dredge floods, he must understand the principles of yin and yang veins, so there are many dragons near his tomb. The layout is entwined with dragon veins to keep the vitality alive, and the headless giant statue composed of nearly 10,000 hanging coffins has the potential to step on the mountains and rivers."
"I guess that when Feng Shigu occupied the dove's nest, he must have found a palace and temple where hanging coffins were worshiped. It was the feast hall where King Wuyang worshiped. This inversion is called the "eye of the tomb". If you find the eye of the tomb, you can find the tomb. The real entrance.”
"And this beam should be evidence that Feng Shigu destroyed the tomb eye in the past, in order to prevent us from finding the real Dixian Village."
"Now, as an important symbol of the tomb eye, there is only a broken beam left, and it is almost beyond recognition. If it weren't for Mr. Song's talisman, I would never have thought that Dixian Village would be below."
While several people were talking, the beam stopped in mid-air and stopped moving.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Fatty Wang looked down, and then he saw the blood charm on Professor Sun's shoulder floating towards a secret passage on the stone wall next to him.
Walking along the winding secret passage embedded deep in the cliff, passing through several tombs with hanging coffins, you came to a cave that was half exposed outside the cliff.
The cave is as big as a small room, and there is still the deep stream outside. An ancient pine skin coffin lies on the ground, and a huge stone coffin is revealed in the scattered floating soil on the ground.
It seems that the lid of the coffin is carved with fine mountain and river patterns, and is tightly locked with nine bronze chi tigers.
The surface of the stone coffin is carved with reliefs of mountains, rivers, pines and cypresses, sun, moon, stars and spiritual beasts from all directions. It is also painted with various auspicious patterns, vaguely showing a gorgeous and wealthy atmosphere.
Professor Sun stared at the pattern on it and said: "The coffins in the ancient tombs with the Nine Palaces, Chihu and Tiger traps are all two-layered inside, containing saltwater, poison and fire. The nine locks must be opened in a fixed order. Otherwise, once the wrong prescription is made or external force is applied, the medicine hidden in the coffin will immediately spurt out, and everything inside will be destroyed."
But what was so difficult in Professor Sun's eyes was not even a big deal in Song Xing's eyes.
Use real energy to enter the coffin to protect the contents, and then directly violently open the coffin to reveal a gold box that had been protected intact in the saltwater, poisonous fire.
The gold box was engraved with layers of patterns, and the inside and outside were connected. It was not closed tightly. After opening it, there was a writing brush inside.
Song Xing took out the brush from the gold box and looked at it carefully. The barrel of the brush was not made of bamboo, but was made of pure gold. Two lines of words were engraved on the gold barrel: "The magic brush for viewing mountains, painting the ground as a door."
The gold pen is hollow, with no interlayer mechanism, but there seems to be another mystery on the gold box. The hollow pattern on the box belongs to the Ming Dynasty style, with mountains, flowing water and figures. The whole is a high mountain like a stone screen, with dense forests in the valley below. There was an immortal who was painting on a large mountain between two stone screens. The figure the immortal drew seemed to be a gate.
"Perhaps what is painted on this gold box is the scene at the entrance of Dixian Village?" Seeing that there were no more clues, Song Xing put away the gold box and walked in along the secret passage.
The secret passage went downwards, and after walking for a while, we came to another canyon.
There is a fork in the canyon, which is a dry bluestone river. It is not deep until it reaches the end. It is a waterfall embedded in the mountains. There is no water source, and only a slippery cliff is left in front of it.
The cliff is as smooth and clean as a stone mirror. In front of the wall are five dense old trees, with branches that grow like teeth and claws. They are very similar to the pattern on the gold box.
Fatty Wang asked hesitantly: "Do you need to use the brush just now to draw a door on the mountain wall to enter the Dixian Village?"
Hu Bayi rolled his eyes: "Do you think it's Ma Liang, the magic brush? He also drew a door."
Fatty Wang said unconvinced: "Old Hu, tell me how to get in? Just now it was said on the brush that the magic brush for viewing mountains draws the ground as a door."
Song Xing looked at the stone wall in front of him, secretly urging the five ghosts to search in all directions, even the ground.
Some of the five green-faced ghosts burrowed into the stone wall, while others burrowed into the ground. Within a moment, they had fully understood the nearby terrain.
A trace of surprise flashed in Song Xing's eyes, and then he moved sideways, avoiding the stone wall, and came to an old tree next to the stone wall.
Before Hu Bayi and the others could ask, Song Xing had already struck out with a palm, and the sound of wind and thunder sounded faintly. The earth and rocks next to the old tree, together with the old tree, were all lifted up several feet, and the dust below was exposed. Silver glitter.
Professor Sun regained his composure at this time. When he saw the silvery-white rock formations under the green soil, he immediately became extremely excited and said in a trembling voice: "It must be the Dixian Village Ancient Tomb... Those white rock formations are all covered with silvery white rock formations." It’s dead money, this is an iron screen.”
It is said that when silver accumulates for a long time, it will decay into silver mud. The decayed silver mud becomes as hard as iron after weathering. If you hit it with a hammer, you can only make a white mark.
The Feng family was very wealthy back then. Professor Sun did not expect that Master Feng would seal the entrance to the tomb with silver mud in ancient times. He was even more curious as to why Song Xing would be sure that the entrance to the tomb was under the old tree.
Although the iron wall and silver screen were solid, they could not stop Song Xing's power. When the entrance was revealed, everyone waited until the rotten air inside dissipated and followed Song Xing into it.
Stepping onto the ground, they looked around in the light of cold smoke and fire. Under the thick silver layer was a natural cave. It was not spacious, about the size of four private houses. The rock wall at the end was gathered together, and there were simple stone steps cut into the ground. Leading to dark depths.
Professor Sun looked at the topography of the cave and said to me doubtfully: "It's strange... this doesn't look like an ancient tomb."
The cave is too damp. You can hear the faint sound of water flowing deep in the rock formations. It seems that there is a water system such as a Yin River or an underground lake deep in the cave. The occasional water snake seen on the ground makes Professor Sun's heart sink. Soaking ant food in food is taboo for those who are buried, so in a truly auspicious land that hides wind and water, insects, ants, snakes, and rats will never appear.
Not long after walking along the cave, we came to an underground lake. Under the lighting, we could see some murals painted on the rocks beside the lake. Most of them were scenes of executions, with various figures of "cutting in half and quartering". kind of torture.
Professor Sun looked at the murals and said that according to the description of the ancient burial system, there was a kind of tomb in the Bashu, Wu and Chu areas in ancient times, which used a rare master-slave laminated structure. Most of the victims were people of relatively low social status, such as "slaves" , craftsman, prisoner”.
The places where the bones of these martyrs are buried are called "mass burial caves". There are usually eighteen caves for mixed burials, so they are also called "eighteen mass burials".
According to this custom, it turns out that the tomb of King Wuyang is most likely above the burial chamber.
