Chapter 131: Shentai
Descending the hole dug by Zang Zhiqiang, there was a burial chamber the size of more than half a football field.
But it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a tomb as a palace.
In this huge space, there is no coffin to accompany the burial, but there is a stone platform about one meter high on one side.
At the top of the stone platform, there is a square stone platform like a stone table, on which stand two iron candlesticks, and there is a huge incense burner in the middle, which looks like a shrine for worshiping the gods, but behind the incense burner is only a stone wall, and there is no statue carving.
The most peculiar thing is that on both sides of this stone table, there are a mahogany circle chairs.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this may seem unimaginable, but I have heard Zang Zhiqiang mention Sanyang Dao before, so I immediately thought that this nondescript stone platform was not originally for worshipping the gods, and the candlestick and incense burner were all prepared for the master and wife of Sanyang Dao, and in a certain period, the two 'great powers' who led the Sanyang Dao people sat in two mahogany chairs, high up, and accepted the worship of everyone.
From this point of view, this place was really the nest of the cult, and the fact that the nest was built underground also shows that the 'master and mother' are also self-aware and know that they can't see the light.
What shocked Sang Lan and me the most was not the altar below, but the dome above the hall.
The highest position at the top of the main hall, where Zang Zhiqiang opened the hole, is five meters above the ground.
The top was not flat, but from under the corpse tree, an unimaginable number of roots sprouted, spreading in an umbrella shape to cover the entire underground temple, and finally down the wall, deep into the ground where we were.
", it's really a veritable demon tree, and it can take root so deeply." I couldn't help but grit my teeth and mutter.
Lao Zheng had been waiting for us all this time, and then he turned in my direction and asked with some confusion, "Why did you come down so quickly?" ”
Zang Zhiqiang also seemed to remember something at this time, and looked at me and bared his teeth, "You two are so blind and bold, you go down to the cave regardless of it, and you still dismantle the coffin?" Why do I think this doesn't look like your style? ”
I glanced at him, "I'm going to say, you took us down and taught me how to dismantle the moving coffin board, do you believe it or not?" ”
"What?" Zang Zhiqiang twisted his brows, and his eyes rolled, as if he thought of something strange.
Now we can be sure that it was not really Zang Zhiqiang who led me and Sang Lan from the White Bone Gatehouse to the upper tomb, but the 'evil man' who had been hiding around us like a shadow.
Judging from the previous details, this guy pretending to be Zang Zhiqiang does not seem to have malicious intentions towards me and Sang Lan, pretending to be a ghost, just to lead us to find the only way to get down.
This makes me even more confused, is this guy friend or foe?
As I thought about it, I suddenly thought of a possibility as if a lightning bolt struck me.
I couldn't help but look at Lao Zheng, "Could it be her?" ”
The old man still had a red handkerchief on his head, and I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I could feel it, and I don't know when the old man seemed to have thought of some key.
At first, I wondered if he was still trying to trick me if he was still trying to trick me, but if he thought the same thing as I think now, then his suspicions can be explained.
I told Zang Zhiqiang about my experience with Sang Lan after entering the White Bone Gatehouse, and as I spoke, I squinted at Lao Zheng's reaction.
Speaking of fake Zang Zhiqiang, when he 'stumbled' and fell into the hole and broke his arm, I saw Lao Zheng's body shake significantly.
It was this reaction that completely dispelled my suspicions about him.
Zang Zhiqiang listened to me, looked at me and laughed dryly, "From the time that 'Zang Zhiqiang' took out the fire eye, you knew that he was a fake, right?" Hehe, knowing that he is fake, he still uses him as a guiding light...... You're really able to hold your breath. ”
I glanced at Sang Lan and secretly felt ashamed in my heart.
I did see early on that there was something wrong with Zang Zhiqiang, who brought us here, because when I was trapped in 419, Zang Zhiqiang gave me another fire eye, and said that it was his last fire eye.
In this case, when I saw him appear in the White Bone Gatehouse with a fire eye, it means that either he was lying before, and there were more than three fire eyes, or it could only be that his identity was suspicious.
At that time, I wanted to directly expose him, but it was Sang Lan who stopped me, if I wanted to say that I was calm, it had to be the credit of her Miss Sang.
I twisted my neck and asked Zang Zhiqiang and Lao Zheng, "This is not like a tomb, what should we do next?" ”
Zang Zhiqiang looked at Lao Zheng, who seemed to have already thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "You have seen that altar, now you go to the stone platform, do what I say, you should be able to know how to find the main tomb." ”
Sang Lan was frightened by the corpse tree just now, and at this time, she just wanted to leave this strange place as soon as possible, so she couldn't help frowning and said to Lao Yu: "You built this tomb, you just said where you should go, isn't it over?" ”
"If I hadn't been blind, I would have been able to find my way to the main burial chamber, but I can't see it now, so how can I guide you?" Lao Yu's voice was faintly angry, and there was also a little grievance.
I knew that he was really in a hurry, so I asked Sang Lan not to ask more questions and do what he said.
Zang Zhiqiang followed us to the shrine and said in a low voice: "I can see that when this old man built this tomb, there is a good chance that he was half deceived and half deceived, and he may have been put under a special evil spell, and when he arrives here, he may not be able to distinguish the direction himself." ”
I nodded, "That should be the case." ”
Lao Cheng is blind in the end and can't see, and he is the same as no one else, because he is too familiar with the environment and things in Sanyi Garden, and as for the escape channel, I don't know how much effort he spent and how many eyes and ears he avoided to build, so he naturally knows it.
At this level, he should really be a little blind, most of them are like Zang Zhiqiang said, he was coaxed to build a tomb at the beginning, and even built this place under the condition of being cast with evil magic. Once you are confused and your sense of orientation is skewed, you really can't tell where the real path is.
In this way, he did not want to judge the direction lightly at this moment, but because of the caution of the craftsmen since ancient times.
It's just that he's blind at the moment, so what's the way for us to find a way......
