Duan Jianwei saw that Pi Luo Ge's breath was cut off, and he was unconscious for half a day holding Pi Luo Ge's body. Suddenly
"Wow" burst into tears. Dugu Xiang couldn't believe that Pi Luo Ge died like this, and asked Jiang Shuo: "Is King Nanzhao dead?" Jiang Shuo said: "Duan Jianwei's attack alone should not have killed Pi Luo Ge. I'm afraid he was seriously injured the last time he and I competed in internal strength, and that's why he behaved like this." Duan Jianwei wiped his tears and said, "Young Master Jiang, you don't have to blame yourself. Master, if you calm down and take care of yourself, It was not serious at first, but he was determined to hunt for treasures on the island. He had been working hard for days and could not rest. Today, he was so anxious that he suddenly vomited blood. When I left the island to get water, I also found a lot of herbs. Unfortunately, before I had time to prepare the potion,... "As he spoke, he took out a small package from his arms, opened it and shook the herbs inside to the floor.
Dugu Xiang said: "Hey... what treasure? Piluo Pavilion even risked his life for this treasure." Jiang Shuo remembered it clearly and said to Dugu Xiang: "Back then, General Pei said that the treasure of the leader of the Jianghu Alliance was buried on the island. He wanted me After handing over the bronze mirror, we had a big fight and we fled, but the Yin Alliance did not get the so-called treasure." Duan Jianwei said: "Yes, the master is talking about this treasure." Dugu Xiang said curiously: "Pi Luoge knows where the alliance leader's treasure is?" Duan Jianwei shook his head and said: "I don't know..." Dugu Xiang said: "Then he knows what the alliance leader's treasure is?" Duan Jianwei still said: "I don't know..." Now Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang's eyes widened in surprise. Jiang Shuo said: "I don't know where the treasure is or what it is. How can I find it?" Dugu Xiang also said: "Isn't this a delusion?" For the two of them, Duan Jianwei could only respond with silence to these remarks. He was afraid that he had the same idea in his heart, but he really couldn't say anything insulting to his master, so he could only keep silent.
Jiang Shuo knew that Duan Jianwei was not a villain, so he asked Duan Jianwei: "Now that King Nanzhao is dead, Duan Lang, what are your plans?" Duan Jianwei sighed and said: "Young Master Jiang, please allow me to bury him first. Master, I will let you handle it again." Jiang Shuo nodded and said: "Okay, I will help you bury King Nanzhao together." Duan Jianwei nodded gratefully, but Dugu Xiang pouted and said: "Piluo Pavilion is so bad, just now He still wants to kill you, Duan Lang, what do you care about him?" Duan Jianwei said: "Master is not a treacherous and evil person. Nanzhao is only one of the six imperial edicts. Master is a talented man and has a rough strategy. After unifying the six imperial edicts, in fact, He has always implemented benevolent government and cultivated the people, but Nanzhao's territory is small and surrounded by the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. The master is inevitably worried that future generations will not be as talented and broad as him, so he has spent all his efforts to open up territory for Nanzhao. , Only by strengthening the national power can we avoid being annexed by a big country. Looking for the treasure here is also because I heard that this treasure can shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. He wants to use it as a pledge, not because he is greedy for wealth." Jiang Shuo said sternly: "People can't do it because of it. In the same way, Nanzhao cannot deliberately create chaos and harm other countries just because its neighboring countries are strong... If everyone in the world harms each other, how can there be peace? In the end, it will harm itself. " Duan Jianwei crossed his hands and said: "What Young Master Jiang said is true... Master, a generation of heroes, ended up being buried on a deserted island. This can be regarded as Buddha's punishment for him." He believed in Buddhism, and Jiang Jiang said this. Shuo didn't want to be entangled anymore and asked: "Mr. Duan, where do you want to bury King Nanzhao?" Duan Jianwei said: "A person dies like a lamp extinguished. It doesn't matter where he is buried. Master, since If you die here, you might as well be buried here." The Tang army defenders in Yinglong City were slaughtered, and the swords, spears, and weapons were scattered all over the ground, and there was no one to take care of them. Jiang Shuo and Duan Jianwei searched for each other. A long knife was used for digging. However, the underground of Longju Island was filled with black gravels of various sizes, which became rougher as they went down. The two of them worked hard for a long time before they dug a shallow pit. The long knife fell down. Several of them have been broken, and I don’t know how Tang Jun dug these deep pits for storing grain.
Dugu Xiang said: "Brother Shuo, stop digging. Let me tell you. Buddha thinks that King Nanzhao's sins are too serious. Buddha doesn't want him to be buried here..." Jiang Shuo glared at her, blaming her for speaking too harshly. , Unexpectedly, Duan Jianwei said: "What Mrs. Dugu said is not unreasonable. People who believe in Buddhism often use cremation to cleanse the sins of their lives. However, the master is a Yi person and does not believe in Buddhism. We should not violate the burial customs of the Yi people." Okay." Dugu Xiang said: "How did the Tang army dig such a deep grain cellar? There was no such deep pit when we came here last time." Jiang Shuo said: "I heard that there is a method of 'burning with fire and stimulating with vinegar' to open the mountain. First, use a strong fire to burn the rock wall to a boil, and then pour cold vinegar on it. At this time, the rock wall, no matter how hard it is, will become as soft as tofu." Dugu Xiang said: "This place has just been burned, and there is no wood that can ignite the fire. La, let alone jealous."
"How about..." Jiang Shuo said: "I think this stone chamber is very spacious and dry. Why don't we leave King Nanzhao here and seal the entrance of the cave? Isn't it the same as a mausoleum?" Duan Jianwei said happily: "This method is very good. Well, although there is no coffin, it is much better than being buried directly in the soil." Jiang Shuo said: "Let's learn from the Tibetan people and pick up stones and pile them on top of the body to use as a coffin." Jiang Shuo was in various places. I often see stone piles that look like grave mounds, and I think they are the tombs of the Tubo people. But in fact, the Tibetan people piled stones for
"To prevent evil and prevent disaster" or
"Suppressing evil and exorcising demons" is called
"Duobang", there are no corpses inside. But there is indeed a burial custom of using stones as graves, and Duan Jianwei also thinks it is feasible. The two of them do it. Duan Jianwei takes off his robe, chants a curse in his mouth, and wraps the robe around Piluo Pavilion. On his body, he was tall, and his robe was wrapped around the short Piluoge body like a big quilt, without leaking anything.
Jiang Shuo could only understand a few words in the mantra he recited, which should be the Buddhist scripture "The Divine Mantra of Rebirth in the Pure Land". He had heard it said by Mahayan, but Mahayan was a Zen sect and would not normally recite this kind of mantra, so Jiang Shuo only heard him say it once and remembered some Sanskrit fragments.
The two of them placed Pi Luo Ge in the shallow pit they had dug before, and began to look for stones to pile on Pi Luo Ge. Dugu Xiang was not willing to make a grave for a villain like Pi Luo Ge, so she walked around the cave. After walking around, I found that the floor of the cave was full of criss-crossing grooves, as if someone had cut them with a wheel and a giant axe.
She touched these long and short carvings with her hands and felt that they were wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. The more she looked at them, the more they felt like they were made by an axe. She touched the rock wall with her fingers and licked it with her tongue, as if there really was something like that. A seemingly non-existent sour taste.
She said to Jiang Shuo: "Brother Shuo, it seems to have a sour taste..." Duan Jianwei said: "This cave was not dug by the Tang army, because the digging marks on the rock wall are completely different from the grain cellars outside. It seems like a giant wielding It's normal to cut with an axe. I think the Tang army accidentally discovered this cave when they were digging down the grain cellar." Jiang Shuo said curiously: "If it was a cave stone chamber that the Tang army discovered when they were digging down the grain cellar, how was it dug? There were no caves in the cave. There is no other way to the ground." Duan Jianwei shook his head and said: "Maybe this cave is naturally formed... So the Tang army felt strange and used this place as a water cellar for storing water." Dugu Xiang patted it casually Standing on the stone wall, she couldn't believe that this cave was actually formed by nature. Then she suddenly saw an unnatural depression on the stone wall, which should be where Piluo Pavilion was knocked away by Jiang Shuo and hit the rock wall hard. , Dugu Xiang exclaimed again: "This collision is really not light, the rock wall is dented..." Jiang Shuo heard this and turned around and said: "Xiang'er, stop talking nonsense, the rock wall is not an earth wall. , I have only heard of it collapsing and smashing, and maybe I have heard that stones can also be dented. Duguxiang said: "It's really dented..." As she said that, she pushed the rock wall hard with her hand, and suddenly she was shocked. He shouted: "Brother Shuo! This rock wall... seems to be a stone door! "Jiang Shuo and Duan Jianwei were very quick. At this time, they had covered Piluoge's body with stones of various sizes. He was greatly surprised when he heard what he said. He ran to Duguxiang and took a look at the rock. On the wall, there seems to be a faint irregular line outlining the shape of a crooked door, but the cave wall is crisscrossed with ax marks. If you look closer, you can't find this subtle difference at all.
Jiang Shuo pressed one hand on the stone wall and pushed with strength. Sure enough, he felt that the back of the stone wall seemed to be empty. It came loose after pushing. He pressed both hands on the stone wall together and secretly used the Jade Jue Magic Power to penetrate his arms. , pushed hard, the stone wall creaked and sunk inward more, and now the outline of the stone door was clearly visible.
When Duan Jianwei saw this strange scene, he also rushed over and asked in surprise: "Why is there a stone gate here?" At this time, Jiang Shuo felt that there seemed to be something pushing back behind the stone gate. If he did not use his full strength, the stone gate would be destroyed. He would return to his original position. While exerting his strength, he shouted: "Duan Lang, come and help!" Duan Jianwei hurriedly pressed his palms on the stone door. His internal strength was also very good. Together with Jiang Shuo, he would The stone door was pushed inward for about a few feet. At this time, Dugu Xiang also came up to help. The three of them worked together faster. After the stone door was dented several feet, he suddenly heard
There was a "click", as if some mechanism had been touched. The stone door suddenly retreated rapidly backwards. The speed was so fast that Jiang Shuo and the other three people had no time to stop their hands pressing on the stone door. Each of them staggered and almost fell down. on the ground.
A downward slope appeared in front of me, but I heard the sound of Shimen
"Rumble" fell downwards, and it took a long time to make a muffled sound, which seemed to be the end. After Jiang Shuo took a closer look, he realized the ingenious design of the stone door mechanism. There was a large downward slope behind the stone door, but the doorway sloped inversely toward the side of the cave a few feet away.
To open the stone door, you must first push it upwards. The stone door naturally becomes heavier and heavier as you push it. When it reaches the top, the stone door turns downward and falls to the bottom of the slope tunnel without any further effort.
This stone gate is designed to not only test the internal strength of the person trying to pass through the stone gate, but also not to be too strenuous. Moreover, if the stone gate cannot be pushed open, the stone gate will automatically return to its original position.
The three of them looked at each other, and Dugu Xiang said: "Brother Shuo, isn't this the treasure of that Jianghu leader?" Jiang Shuo shook his head blankly, what a coincidence... Tang Jun happened to dig this hole while digging a grain cellar. Pi Luo Ge happened to hide in this cave. When he was fighting Pi Luo Ge, he hit him against the stone door and was discovered by Xiang'er. This series of coincidences was really incredible.
Duan Jianwei reached into the tunnel to explore and said: "There is wind, but it is not a dead place." The three of them went to the ground, found some unburned wood to make a torch, and lit it with the torches and sickles they carried. , the three of them entered the tunnel one after another.
This tunnel is only wide enough for one person to enter and exit. Jiang Shuo was hesitating to let Duan Jianwei go in front, which seemed a bit unfair, but Duan Jianwei had already stepped into the tunnel first.
Jiang Shuo secretly felt ashamed and followed him into the cave, followed by Dugu Xiang. Duan Jianwei said from the front: "Stay away from me, be careful with hidden weapons." The three of them walked down for about a mile and reached the end of the tunnel. They saw that the stone door was three or four feet thick, with an iron lock behind it. , penetrated into the three holes on the top, two and bottom of the tunnel. It seems that the stone door can be reset after being pulled.
However, the three of them had no time to care about the stone gate at this moment. Their eyes were completely attracted by the wonderful scenery in the cave.
