He suddenly became furious and picked up a shovel and hit the fish head.
Unexpectedly, after being exposed to wind and sun in this valley for so many years, the fish head was still very hard. When the engineer shovel chopped it, only a white mark was left.
Hu Bayi couldn't help but marvel: "No wonder this fish bone temple has not collapsed in this deep valley even though no one has taken care of it for decades. Fish bones are harder than iron, but lighter than iron. They are really a good material for building houses."
"Master Hu, Little Master Hu, Master Kai, come and see!"
Big Gold Teeth seemed to have discovered something and called out to everyone.
Big Gold Tooth stroked a stone tablet that had fallen to the ground, swept away the dust on it, revealing the words on the tablet.
Hu Xiuwu carefully identified the characters on the stone tablet and said, "This seems to be bronze inscriptions?"
The Shangqing School is good at talismans, and most of the talismans are evolved from ancient Chinese characters. While learning talismans, it is inevitable to understand ancient Chinese characters. Therefore, Hu Xiuwu was influenced by ancient Chinese characters and also had some understanding of them.
Big Gold Teeth said, "Master Xiao Hu is right. This is the bronze inscription used in the Zhou Dynasty. Look at the cloud and thunder pattern around the stone tablet. It's a pity that only half of it is left, and the text is already blurred. It's not even worth studying."
Wang Kaixuan said, "Didn't Blind Chen say that there was a Tang Dynasty tomb under the Fishbone Temple? How could there be a Zhou Dynasty stele here? Could it be that the tomb raider made a mistake?"
Hu Bayi flatly denied it: "No, this golden abacus can use the technique of dividing gold to determine the location of the Fishbone Temple. It is impossible that it can't even get the age of the tomb wrong."
Da Jin Ya guessed, "Master Hu, do you think there are two tombs in this Feng Shui location, one from the Zhou Dynasty and one from the Tang Dynasty?"
This kind of situation is not uncommon, and Hu Bayi is a little unsure.
"Don't just sit there and guess, just go down and take a look and you'll know."
Hu Xiuwu's voice came from behind the crowd.
As they discussed around the stone tablet,
He had already found the hole made by the golden abacus through the echo of the wind.
Jin Suanpan hid the stolen hole under the shrine, and the Dragon King sat under the chair.
Upon hearing that Hu Xiuwu had discovered the tomb-robbing hole, several people hurried over to check it out.
Under the shrine,
The dark tunnel led directly underground, and it seemed that some evil spirits were being released from the tunnel.
The dark cave is like a person's dark pupil.
And the depths of the pupil seemed to reflect a deep and quiet place.
Chapter 30: Underworld Palace
"What a round hole!" Hu Bayi exclaimed.
The hole under the shrine was as round and straight as if it had been measured with a ruler.
Judging from the situation of the stolen hole, that Senior Jin Suanpan must be an expert.
Wang Kaixuan said: "Alright, alright, everyone, get out of the way, it's time for Master Goose to play!"
Wang Kaixuan pushed Hu Bayi away from the tunnel, took the cage containing two big white geese that had been placed next to it, and tied a rope around one of the cages.
He then threw the wooden basket and the goose down along the hole.
Big Goose: ???
In the absence of an air detector, we can only use living things to check under the tomb to see if there is any poisonous gas or oxygen underground.
There is a high possibility that Jin Suanpan died down there, so it is better to be cautious.
After letting the goose down for five or six minutes, he saw that it was still screaming loudly and vigorously, and it sounded like it was scolding Wang Kaixuan.
It seems that after this tunnel has been open for a long time, the corpse qi and bad luck trapped inside have almost dissipated.
Hu Bayi called Wang Kaixuan, and the two of them went down the tunnel first to clear the way, followed by Hu Xiuwu and Da Jinya.
After the two men went down, Hu Xiuwu also went down through the tunnel. This tunnel was different from a well. It was not straight down, but had a certain slope, like a slide in an amusement park. Every section was like a mine, with wooden frames for support.
The tunnel was just wide enough for one person, and Hu Xiuwu was more than enough to fit inside it. However, he was a little curious about how Wang Kaixuan, who had preceded him, had managed to get in.
It is very narrow at first, but then it becomes passable. After crawling for dozens of steps, it suddenly becomes clear.
Hu Xiuwu climbed out of the tunnel. Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were already standing by with engineering shovels.
Candles were also lit in the southeast corner.
After he came out, Big Gold Teeth also slowly crawled out of the tunnel.
Hu Xiuwu looked around the underworld palace.
The decoration of this underworld palace is very luxurious. There are murals on the walls around the underworld palace, telling the life story of the tomb owner.
There are also stone statues of human faces placed around the underworld palace. The expressions on the faces seem to be neither smiling nor crying, as if they are mocking the people who are rolling around in the world.
There is a spring in the front hall, surrounded by bluestone slabs and iron chains.
After discovering the spring, Hu Bayi said, "I didn't expect there would be a spring here! This is the coffin spring mentioned in the book. It's an auspicious sign."
"I see. It turns out this is the top Feng Shui location - Nei Zang Xu."
The inner world contains the sun, which originates from the sky, like the waves of water, and has the image of a container.
Da Jin Ya, who had recovered, took over the conversation: "Mr. Hu, look at the structure of the tomb. This doesn't look like a Tang tomb. This is a Western Zhou tomb! Look at the cloud-thunder pattern. This is a decoration unique to the Western Zhou."
Hu Bayi was also a little puzzled. This was different from what Blind Chen said.
Was it that the golden abacus had made a mistake back then, or was it that Blind Chen deceived them?
Hu Xiuwu didn't quite understand the layout of the ancient tomb, so he didn't discuss it with Hu Bayi and Da Jin Ya.
Wang Kaixuan said impatiently: "You two have said so much, I just want to ask where the coffin is?"
Yes, this underworld palace is huge and can be considered top-notch in the Zhou Tombs, but it is missing the most important thing.
Where is the tomb owner's coffin?
While Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were looking for the coffin, Hu Xiuwu was leisurely admiring the murals around that recorded the life of the tomb owner.
Although his eyes are not as magical as the Yin-Yang eyes or the double pupils, but after the transformation of his eyes, he can still see things in the dark.
Look at the contents of the murals.
The tomb owner was born into the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. She was the daughter of the King of Zhou at that time. The King of Zhou loved her very much.
He even gave his daughter one of his beloved fiery red horses.
But her father was away from the palace for most of the year.
She could only depend on her mother, but her mother died of illness when she was very young.
She was very sad and cried bitterly on the sand dunes. She died of depression at the age of 28.
The King of Zhou was very sad and ordered Zongbo, the Spring Official in charge of sacrifices, to find auspicious soil for Wang Ji.
The Grand Master of the Imperial Clan reported to the king that he had found the inner vault. The king ordered a mausoleum to be built there for his daughter, and placed the jade pendant given by the Queen Mother of the West in his daughter's coffin.
???
Wait, Queen Mother of the West?
Hu Xiuwu carefully identified the origin of the jade pendant on the mural on the wall.
In the painting, the king was riding in a chariot pulled by eight horses and met a gorgeous woman with a leopard tail, tiger fangs, and a jade pendant on her head. The woman gave the king countless treasures, including the jade pendant.
This, does this depict King Mu of Zhou meeting the Queen Mother of the West?
Is there a treasure left by the Queen Mother of the West in this week’s tomb?
No, you can't think like that. King Mu of Zhou left the jade pendant not simply as a burial object for his daughter.
Hu Xiuwu gave up his greed and changed his mindset:
"This tomb is protected by the treasure of the Queen Mother of the West!"
As soon as this thought came to mind, Hu Xiuwu was shocked.
The legendary Queen Mother of the West has never been a kind person. She is a goddess who manages all the evil spirits in the world and the five disabled creatures.
In other words,
She was a powerful alien who controlled plagues and natural disasters. The treasures she left behind must be extraordinary.
Although a thousand years have passed, this inner storage is a top-notch Feng Shui location. The treasure is being nurtured here and is likely not only not damaged, but
On the contrary, it has become even more magical because it has absorbed the earth's energy for thousands of years.
With this thought, the Underworld Palace seemed even more dangerous to Hu Xiuwu, and he had to immediately notify Hu Bayi and the others to leave.
Before he could speak, he heard Da Jin Ya wailing beside him: "Master Hu! Master Kai! Look, the tomb passage we came in through has disappeared!"
Hu Bayi was still looking for the mechanism on the side. When Wang Kaixuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Hu Bayi shone the flashlight in the direction that Da Jin Ya pointed.
The tunnel they had just entered through disappeared!
The place where the robbers' hole was originally located turned into a cold stone wall.
Not only that, at some point, the candle in the southeast corner also went out.
Hu Bayi didn't believe it, so he ran to the wall and slapped it with his shovel.
Only the crisp knocking sounds proved that the wall was real.
Wang Kaixuan asked Hu Xiuwu tremblingly: "Xiu, Xiuwu, have we hit a wall?"
This fat man is fearless. He dares to fight zombies and zongzi, but he is afraid of ghosts without physical bodies.
Hu Xiuwu was a Taoist priest in Shangqing Sect before. Thanks to the movie,
Now everyone knows that the Shangqing Sect is good at catching ghosts and exorcising corpses.
So, when such a strange thing happened, Wang Kaixuan immediately hid beside Hu Xiuwu.
"No, this is not a ghost wall,"
Hu Xiuwu said affirmatively,
The ghost wall is nothing but evil spirit that confuses people's eyes and makes them lose their way. It is just a kind of illusion. But now it is not an illusion and can be explained.
Since their retreat was blocked, they could only find another way out.
