Before Yue Erpao finished speaking, several people put their flashlights together and looked forward.
A deep underground trench nearly 100 meters wide appeared in front of them, like a cave cut into two halves. The huge abyss tore the ground apart and separated the two banks, forming an insurmountable chasm.
At the widest part of the moat, there is a stone arch bridge hanging!
If you look carefully, the arch bridge looks like the crescent moon of Mount Emei, as curved as eyebrows stretching between the two banks. The seven bridge openings decrease from the center to both ends. The gray and blue bricks and stones build a wide bridge deck. The pillars of the railings are all carved with dragon heads. Chao Feng, Pulao, Ou Kiss... all kinds of dragons stood on the pillars lifelike, all facing their direction.
At both ends of the bridge, there are octagonal and pointed east and west watchtowers. The high cornices stand eerily at both ends, like ghost generals with swords and swords dancing with sticks.
The black lacquer plaque is written in ancient seal script with ancient characters, "Wangxiang" on the left and "Naihe" on the right.
If it were just an ordinary seven-hole stone bridge, it wouldn't be that scary. However, the surface of this stone bridge obviously emits light green fluorescence, and the non-fluorescent bridge deck slightly shows the face of a ghost skull, just like a ghost bridge of skulls and mottled blue light suspended in the dark scourge.
A burst of white smoke floated from the bottom of the cliff, and the ghost faces were twisted and mottled in the smoke, like green-faced and fanged ghosts winking at them.
Fortunately, there were many of them. Even if two or three people went together to rob the tomb, they would have been so frightened by this scene that the yellow soup would splash out and become so thin that it became thick and liquid.
Even though there were many people, everyone couldn't help but feel numb when they saw such a strange scene.
"It's not necessarily the Naihe Bridge. Let's not cross it yet. Let's go to the shore to see what the smoke is."
Yue Guanchao and the others walked into the shore with shields and looked down the rift valley with flashlights.
As the lampposts cut through the darkness, everyone was able to see something scarier than the Ghost Bridge!
The Ghost Bridge is not suspended in the sky. The huge stone pillars are mainly pitch black, all hidden in the darkness, but not noticed by others.
Under the Ghost Faced Stone Bridge, corpses were hanging upside down, like fish and shrimp in a fishing net, covered in the sky by a large rattan net!
These corpses were similar to those they had seen near the Tongtian River. Their bodies had not shriveled, their facial features maintained the painful color they had before death, their skin was gray and greasy, their faces were shiny, and they were all dressed in robes from the Tang Dynasty.
In this state, the whole body is probably filled with antiseptic secret medicine. Under the protection of the secret medicine, the body does not rot, but forms a layer of grease like bacon.
Below the corpse formation, there is a gurgling underground spring!
Yue Guanchao continued to shine his flashlight on the river. The underground river was fifty or sixty meters above the ground. The springs were not considered rapids. They only occasionally made whirlpools in the water. Thick white smoke turned into bubbles and surfaced. Misty smoke burst out. .
A lot of the smoke they saw came from the gaps in the rock formations at the bottom of the river!
This huge amount of heat mist is almost the same as that on the surface of Zhipandianzi. It may appear more scorching due to the slower heat dissipation. As long as the cloud mist sprays out of the water, the wax corpse in the air will melt and the hot oil will flow into the river, rippling on the surface. A layer of light golden oil flowers.
The whole pond is like this. It's like golden rain is falling in the river, the springs are rolling, and golden flowers are blooming!
"Could the thing on the cliff be corpse mushroom again?"
Song Siyuan looked at the cliff with a flashlight. The surface of the cliff was not a smooth rock layer. As the light beam illuminated, bright corpse mushrooms of different sizes began to appear.
The corpse mushrooms here are even more bizarre than those under the Tongtian River. The large ones are like water tanks and the small ones are like cattail fans. They completely cover the cliff. The bright colors are like pouring oil paint onto the surface of the corpse mushrooms, painting various strange patterns.
In the darkness, corpses, wax oil, springs and ghost bridges, these many unrelated things are combined together, and it feels oozing no matter how you look at it.
"Hunter, since the Ganoderma lucidum in that cave is growing catfish, what is growing in this river? Isn't it right?"
The old fish man was frightened for a while. No matter what he raised, he would never make such a strange formation in vain.
"It is said that the Naihe River flows out from the underworld. There is a bridge on the river called "Naihe Bridge". This bridge has two watchtowers. The God of Day and Night is guarding it day and night. There is a river of blood under the bridge, full of insects and snakes, and rolling waves. The smell of It smells filthy and should not be approached. If evil spirits and ghosts fall into the river, they will never be reincarnated."
Master Mao held up his shield and looked under the bridge. When the wax oil and golden flowers were exhausted, it was obvious that something was sneaking under the water in the river. Sometimes it floated to the shallow water and sometimes it fell into the depth. Only a black shadow was seen dancing on the bottom of the water, which could not be found. its traces.
"Don't pretend to be the mythical Naihe Bridge. This is just a burial pit."
Song Siyuan explained to everyone according to the sky:
"Haidong Shenghuang's golden lotus from the earth is for reincarnation, so that the good golden cicada can escape from its shell and chase the Central Plains. For Haidong Shengguo, who fully accepted the culture of the Tang Dynasty, the only way to reincarnate must be the Naihe Bridge. He built this bridge in front of the main tomb chamber. The purpose is to cater to the ancient legends about the afterlife, representing that the Emperor Haidong crossed the Nai River under the guidance of Longzi and entered the reincarnation cycle."
"As for the bodies under this cliff, I think I know their identities."
These words made everyone's eyes widen. Song Siyuan looked at one of the wax corpses and explained to them:
"Chao Bingzhong said that the Chao family was just influenced by Feng Shui. There were also craftsmen involved in building the tomb. The infant corpses in the underground cave beside the Tongtian River are probably the children of those craftsmen. These corpses hanging upside down are not slaves. , but the craftsmen used to build the tomb.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was not willing to believe Song Siyuan's judgment, but the facts were there. When they looked carefully at the corpses with their flashlights, they could see that the patterns on their clothes were the jeweled lotus pattern, which was similar to the lotus pattern. Although the pattern is not exclusive to the garment, it is the same as the fabric on the baby's corpse!
