Chapter 70 The Golden Palace of the Nine Palaces (6)
The last one is the earth soul, which can only go on the seventh day after death, that is, on the night of the soul. Because the last wisp of the earth soul is to be sent down to the underworld by the ghosts. The people who have just died almost do not know the bad news of their deceased, they miss their families, they will return home on the night of the soul to see, see their spiritual position and the statue, and finally believe in the fact that they are dead, and follow the ghost to the Yellow Springs Road.
Just now, this person was swallowed by the black fog and his soul is equivalent to the walking corpse walking 'meat', if he hesitates for a while, let the evil black fog completely occupy his soul, and he can't be cured if he wants to be cured again! Therefore, Ma Chengfeng immediately made a decision and sucked his earth soul first! It's not that he's ruthless!
"Why did he go down again?" Chang Xiaoman asked in surprise.
"He's dead, we can't save him!" Ma Chengfeng tied the dust cloak to Chang Xiaoman's shoulder.
This wolf head totem must be strange, I am afraid that the evil black fog that can control people's hearts and souls is spit out of its mouth, Ma Chengfeng no longer dares to be careless, and takes Chang Xiaoman around the nine totems in the sinkhole, and four or five more corpses were found in the process. Fortunately, I didn't see the four elder brothers Li Dahai, Ma Blind Man and Xiaoman here.
But these nine wolf-headed totems surround the main hall, and if you want to enter the main hall, you must pass in front of them. Ma Chengfeng thought for a moment and said You hold my waist tightly. He jumped up on his toes, jumped up with Chang Xiaoman, and jumped up on the roof of the main hall with Chang Xiaoman. Standing on a high place and looking out, there are many bones scattered in the sinkhole, almost the same as the situation outside, some modern, some ancient, and some have rotted into rotting corpses.
The sound of footsteps came again, and a group of corpse soldiers under the main hall stiffened their bodies and walked through with neat steps, fortunately there were dust shelters, otherwise the yang energy on their bodies would have been exposed.
Ma Chengfeng said that eighty percent of them were trapped in the hall at their feet, and we had to think of entering, but we couldn't go through the entrance of the hall. The old blind man is so 'shrewd' that he is on the road, there must be something evil at the entrance of the main 'door'.
His feet were light, he didn't move at all when he stepped on the old rubble, swished a few steps and climbed to the highest eaves, and then picked Chang Xiaoman up with a rope. This hall is divided into three layers, and the most central part of the hall is the feng shui golden well corresponding to the ancient tomb. There is also a talk here, the golden well is the feng shui eye of the entire ancient tomb, whether it is an ancient tomb or a temple, craftsmen must correspond to the feng shui eye when building the mausoleum.
I heard that when the archaeological team excavated the tomb of Qin Shi Huang in the past, the golden well was pressed directly below the coffin of Emperor Yingzheng, and the earth under the golden well has been continuous for thousands of years, so that the coffin is 'yin' and cold.
The two of them lifted a few pieces of rubble on the eaves in the center of the main hall, and below them were the beams of the three-story roof of the main hall. On the third floor, there is a quadrangular corridor with many bookshelves, which is the library of the main hall. Ma Chengfeng jumped down and lit the copper oil lamp standing in the corner of the library pavilion.
The copper oil lamps in this dragon bucket are all thousand-year-old lamps, and the lamp oil burned is the fish oil in the body of deep-sea fish, and a small drop is enough to burn for more than a few days. Unexpectedly, after countless years, the lamp oil has not completely evaporated, and it can still be ignited.
The library gradually lit up, he took Chang Xiaoman down, and the two searched carefully. The library pavilion of the main hall is not small, and it is estimated that there are not tens of thousands of books but also 5,000 books. The ancient books in the collection are either bamboo slips or silk brocade writing. Almost all the words written are all the words of the ancient northern Hu people, and the two of them can't see any clues after reading them for a long time.
Chang Xiaoman stood in the corridor of the library pavilion and shone it down with a flashlight, the hall was pitch black, and nine stone pillars stood in mid-air to support the entire hall. The nine stone pillars form a perfect circle, and under each stone pillar, there is a black coffin, the angle of the nine coffins is exactly the same, and the style and size of the coffin are almost 'consistent'. Except for the nine black coffins, he didn't see the shadows of his four elder brothers.
"Cheng Feng, look, there's a coffin down there! How is it a mouth of nine? ”
Ma Chengfeng said: "The one lying in these nine mouths is not necessarily the owner of the tomb. I thought about it carefully just now, didn't you notice that all the furnishings in this underground palace are deliberately made up of nine, which represents the meaning of ninety-nine returning to the truth. These nine coffins are no exception, and I am afraid that the dead bodies inside are the daughters-in-law of the tomb owner before his death. ”
"Where is the owner of the tomb? This palace is only so big, is there other main burial chambers? ”
Ma Chengfeng told her that it was recorded in the "Book of Thieves" that tombs of such specifications could not be analyzed by the construction pattern of ordinary ancient tombs, and they were not called ancient tombs, but Hades Temple. The Hades Temple is more tricky, and generally 'touching' Captain Jin does not dare to act alone. There are relatively few mechanisms in the temple, but there are a lot of things to be paid attention to.
The two of them followed the radius of the arc-shaped library on the third floor, and found a stone staircase leading to the second floor in the middle. Under some stone steps there seemed to be a prison for the Hades Temple, surrounded by iron bars and shackles. They searched one by one, and found one hundred and eight cells, but there was no shadow of a living person in them. Not to mention the living, not even a single bone slag. So what exactly is this cell for?
"Senior sister, look at the time."
"It's eight-fifteen p.m." Xiao Man replied.
"Eight-fifteen, about three hours before midnight. I always felt that there should be something special about the time indicated by the Huabiao outside. We'd better find them before the hour, or we'll be in trouble. Ma Chengfeng already felt faintly uneasy.
Further down is the first floor of the Hades Temple, this Hades Hall and the other eight golden halls on the periphery should be similar in pattern, the only difference is that this Hades Hall is not pure gold, and there are eight more coffins in the middle.
The two of them stood on the second floor and shone a circle with a flashlight, not to mention, and finally paid off their hard work and found clues below. At the end of the temple was still a throne, and there was a man sitting on the throne. This person Chang Xiaoman recognizes that it is Li Dahai!
"Hai Ye? Hai Ye? Chang Xiaoman shouted at him twice. But Li Dahai still leaned lazily on the throne and did not move. His eyes were squinted, his expression was solemn, and his breathing was very weak, as if he was in a vegetative state.
"Don't shout, Li Dahai may have been stolen by something!" Ma Chengfeng said.
"Then let's go down and get him out first, shall we?"
"It's easy to get him out, the key is where are the others? Besides, what is playing in this temple? If we can't find it, we might have to get hit if we go down. "Ma Chengfeng doesn't want to take risks, there is only one chance in this kind of evil place, once he doesn't see it clearly, the consequences of rash action are unimaginable.
