The crisp sound of breaking echoed in the empty tomb passage. Brother Yaozi cut off the chain wrapped around the rusty iron door with one knife. When we first came in, the chain was still shining with a metallic luster, but we were just observing the parchment scroll.

After a while, a thick layer of rust swelled up on it. At first glance, it looked like a lump of rust clinging to the door bolt. There were no sparks when Brother Yaozi slashed it with the knife, just like cutting tofu in half.

, completely corrupt from the inside out.

With a "squeak", Brother Yaozi pushed open the heavy iron door, and behind was the dark tomb chamber.

We had suffered too much before, but Brother Yaozi was extra cautious at this time and did not rush in. Instead, he lit a fire and threw the paper into the tomb. The halo of light looked small and fragile in the boundless darkness, like a strong wind and waves.

A small boat in the tomb could be extinguished at any time, and the illuminated area was empty. There were no particularly eye-catching objects or furnishings. It was difficult to tell what kind of tomb this was for a while.

Brother Yaozi looked back and forth at the door of the tomb, eagerly looking at the fire fold.

I looked at a leather barrel in my hand dumbfounded, and I could smell a faint smell of leather on it. Naturally, this smell was not coming from the leather barrel, but the psychic fragrance inside!!

This incense has only one purpose - to communicate with the underworld and invite the gods to come to you!

Brother Yaozi originally suggested using the one with Shenxiang, but Lao Bai was afraid that it would not be overbearing enough and could not invite the boss below, so he simply chose one that tasted good enough for me!

Naturally, I was resisting in my heart. In order to save Zhang Xinya last time, I hired Mr. Heiba ​​from the Underworld to persuade Wan Niang'er to leave. Who would have thought that Mr. Heiba ​​actually had a master-disciple relationship with Ms. Wan'er, so he almost didn't send her away in the end.

Leaving has left a huge psychological shadow on me, but what can I say? I can’t even put it into words - it’s hard to disobey a teacher’s order!

My master's explanation is very simple. With that mysterious wind chime that I don't know the origin of, those ghost kings and handsome men below should be unable to do anything to me. The incident with Black Master last time has proved this, and only I can do this.

No one is safe. Even if Wan Niang'er comes to invite her master, Hei Baye, it may not be so safe. It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. This is not a joke!!

This time I don’t have my master’s condolence letter. That thing has no magic power. It’s just a debt of gratitude, no different from a letter. Only with that thing can I invite the person I want to invite. Unfortunately, the trouble last time was not pleasant.

All the favors were ruined. This time I invited a god. It was completely random. If I couldn’t protect everything, I would invite some evil god. I could only pray silently in my heart. Even if I invited the god of decline, I would be unlucky for eight consecutive months.

Don't ever invite Mr. Heiba. He and I are at odds with each other. If he comes, I will have to shed my skin even if I die.

"Hey, don't be stunned. You are not a big girl getting on a sedan chair. This is your first time. What are you afraid of? With those ruthless horns in the wind chimes, who dares to occupy the magpie's nest?"

Lao Bai pushed me, and when I recovered a little, he raised his chin toward the tomb and said, "Which part of the tomb do you think this place belongs to?"

"That's just my guess, just listen to it."

I slapped my lips together and said: "We in China are very particular about one thing: death is as important as life, which means that the appearance after death cannot be worse than before life, so the palaces and underground palaces of Yin are built in the model of the houses and palaces of Yang people.

It's just that there have been some changes in Feng Shui. After all, what is suitable for living people may not be suitable for dead people.

This is the emphasis of our ancestors. The Di Ren Kingdom does not belong to China. I was really hesitant before, fearing that the rules on both sides were different, so I didn't dare to draw conclusions. But after reading Guo Xun's parchment book, I have a clue.

Since this Di Ren country knows how to cultivate jade bone corpses, it means that they understand the relationship between yin and yang. As for things like tombs, the top is in harmony with the way of heaven, and the bottom is in conjunction with yin and yang. There is not much difference in terms of details. Since they

When planning such an important matter, they will not be careless when it comes to tombs, so their rules are not too far from those of our ancestors.

In a normal house, the main entrance and main hall are used to welcome guests, and the backyard is used by the host's family.

The road we are taking is an escape path left by the craftsmen. The craftsmen are also slaves in the eyes of their masters. The slaves are not allowed to go to the hall and can only work in the backyard. Therefore, this road is probably

We went directly to the backyard of the tomb, and the place where the owner slept would most likely be the main tomb chamber!"

Lao Bai's eyes lit up: "Then tell me, is it possible for Yang Yuhuan to sleep in here?"

"That's hard to say."

I shook my head: "Such a tomb holds the last hope of an ancient country. No one else except their last leader can afford to live in it!"

Therefore, there can only be two people sleeping here, or it is the person named Samael. Guo Xun's sheepskin book clearly stated that this person eventually founded the Divine Grace Society and took control of Di in one fell swoop.

The elders of the People's Republic will become a dictator in the actual sense, and he is qualified to be in the main tomb!

The next one is Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Yuhuan... After all, she is a guest. It is possible to sleep in the front hall where guests are entertained, but she is the boss in this tomb, and everything is done around her, so

, it’s not wrong for her to sleep in the main tomb chamber.

It's such a thing, I can't explain it just by patting my forehead."

"Okay, stop chatting and cheer up!"

Brother Yaozi looked back at me and Lao Bai, gave a warning, stretched out his hand, and quietly entered the tomb with a short knife in hand.

I glanced at the flames, and saw that the flames were still beating tenaciously, at least they wouldn't stifle anyone to death, so I followed them closely.

Because the air is polluted, there is a faint layer of mist floating in the tomb. Even with a flashlight, the visibility is very low. It is difficult to judge the size of the tomb at a glance. The position opposite the tomb door is empty, and the ground to the north is scattered with scattered dust.

There were few broken burial objects, most of which were made of metal. Because the tomb door was not sealed, the moment we broke open the tomb, these things immediately became rotten and had no value.

Old Bai's sharp eyes actually took out a few coins from under a broken cabinet. They were about the same size as Yuan Datou. They had some weird patterns on them. They should be the currency of the Di Ren Kingdom. They were mottled and in some places they were the size of a pinhole.

There are red spots, and green rust appears in some places. The red spots and green rust are obviously gold coins.

In this business, it is important that everyone who meets you has a share, and the accounts are clearly settled between brothers. I was immediately ready to grab two coins and play with them. Lao Bai secretly glanced at Zhang Xinya, and said the word "arrangement" with his lips moving. I heard the string and knew the elegant meaning.

He immediately stepped back and remained silent.

"The coffin is here."

Brother Yaozi suddenly spoke up.

When I looked up, I couldn't see him anymore, so I could only follow the sound, and finally found him at the south end of the tomb. There was a pool of pickled fish on the ground, mixed with some lime, which was obviously the place where the coffin was placed, but the coffin was already completely

It rotted, leaving only a piece of black dregs. Brother Yaozi said it was a coffin. In fact, I think the rotten remains are at most a thin-skinned coffin, not to mention an inner coffin and an outer coffin. That’s what Brother Yaozi does.

He is indeed an expert, but what he studies is how to break open the tomb mechanism to retrieve the property. I may not be as good at other things. If the coffin in the tomb rots into debris, the coffin and the coffin will collapse in different ways.

When a coffin collapses from the inside, the coffin collapses outward, so the debris left on the ground after the coffin collapses is like a flower, while a simple coffin is relatively concentrated.

Whether to use a coffin or not is just a detail, but in a certain aspect, it is a kind of proof of the identity of the deceased.

Zhang Xinya came over at some point and suddenly asked: "Jingzhe, didn't you just tell Lao Bai that the main tomb chamber is most likely behind the tomb door? This size doesn't look like the main tomb chamber..."

"You don't understand this."

I smiled and said: "The main tomb chamber is not necessarily just one room. Some main tomb chambers are like suites. A single main tomb chamber is divided into several parts. If you don't go to the tomb very often, it's normal if you don't know. If you don't believe me, just ask Yaozi.

Brother, he must have seen this kind of main tomb chamber. If I look at it, it is undoubtedly the main tomb chamber, but judging from the place where the dead slept, there is only a coffin, not a coffin, so it should be a side chamber."

Brother Yaozi squatted down with his nose covered, and used a short knife to poke at the rotten coffin. This kind of rotten coffin is actually quite dangerous. There may be some relatively closed places underneath, where bad gas accumulates. It is best to hold it when teasing such places.

breathe.

Pieces of wreckage were picked apart, and soon the bones underneath appeared before our eyes.

It was just a dead bone without skin and flesh. The hand bones fell on the sternum. It looked like he had his hands on his chest when he died.

"It's a side room."

Brother Yaozi finally responded, stood up, put down the hand covering his nose, and said: "Second girl, look, this is a female corpse. It is easy to identify a man and a woman when they are alive, but it turns out to be a handful of rotten bones.

It’s easy to identify, and I don’t know much about it. I can only look at the body shape. Normally, male bones are wider at the top than at the bottom, and female bones are wider at the bottom than at the top…”

"so……"

Zhang Xinya hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this the tomb owner's wife?"

"Not really a wife!"

I said: "A courtyard-type tomb like this not only has a front hall and a backyard, but also an ear chamber. The people buried in the ear chamber may be descendants or other people who are important to the owner of the tomb. The wives and concubines should be buried in the ear chamber."

Yes, and the main tomb has a side room, which is for the personal maid, who sleeps next to the owner of the tomb, is divided into a small room, and has a small coffin, ready to be used at any time."

Zhang Xinya nodded, then shook her head. She probably felt that these things were too complicated and gave her a headache, so she went straight to the point: "But... there is no door in this tomb. I just fumbled around, and it was all surrounded by black steel.

If it can't be broken, could it be that we have encountered the invisible door like before? This time we don't have another key..."

As soon as he said this, Brother Yaozi also responded. They all noticed this. Although the mist obscured their eyes and could not see the entire tomb at a glance, they could still get a rough estimate by actually walking around.

Except for a tomb door, it is surrounded by copper and iron walls made of black steel. There is no door leading to the main tomb chamber at all!!

I thought for a while and said: "It's unlikely. These funeral rules are not strict, they are logical. There will be no locks between the main tomb and the side chambers. If they are locked, it means that the master and the servant are at odds, and the master is guarding against them."

Looking at the servants, in such an extremely gloomy place, the discord between the master and the servant will cause big problems. The corpse of the woman in front of us will not be just a handful of bones. I am afraid that the corpse has been faked long ago, and she will try her best to climb over.

Eat the owner in the main tomb."

After saying that, I took a look at the remains of the coffin. One end was wide and the other was narrow. The wider one was the head. The place where the head was facing should be the position of the owner of the tomb. So I stepped forward and patted the wall gently, and then gently touched the wall nearby.

Start exploring.

After a while, a smile appeared on my face.

As I expected, this place will not be locked, and it is not a copper or iron wall. It is completely laid out. There is a hole in the wall that can just fit my finger in. I tried to put my index finger in, and it turned out to be empty.

There is a slightly raised place at the bottom. Press it down and there will be a "click" and the place will completely sink in.

Boom!!

A deafening roar came from the surrounding black steel walls!

Zhang Xinya was immediately shocked: "This... how do you know there is a mechanism in this place? The dark hole in the wall is very hidden, and there is fog around it, so you can't see clearly."

"experience!"

I patted my head: "Didn't Master say that, although I don't know the Di Ren Kingdom, I still have thousands of years of experience as a ritual officer. Look at the shape of this tomb and the specifications of the deceased's coffin.

Now that I know her identity, she is the girl of the tomb owner. Generally speaking, in a tomb with a side room for the girl to live in, there will definitely be a small hole in the wall where the girl's head faces the owner of the tomb. This is

To whisper to them, in order to facilitate the girl, there is no tomb door here, there is only such a small hole for talking, the door mechanism must be inside!"

While he was talking, the wall in front of him moved.

A square tomb door emerged from the wall, advancing towards us little by little, and stopped after a while, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to pass through!

Brother Yaozi had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately threw a fire seal in. With a "pop", the fire seal was extinguished.

"A completely sealed tomb!"

His face turned dark and he sighed: "It seems that we can only wait for some air..."

At this time, everyone had gathered around and watched helplessly as Brother Yaozi threw the fire folds one after another into the tomb. After waiting for nearly an hour, the fire folds finally stopped going out.

"about there."
