I stood at the entrance of the underground palace and hesitated.

At this point I was in a dilemma, and my intuition told me that this underground palace was anything but simple.

Especially that heavy coffin.

From a distance, the coffin looked like it was made of pig iron, glowing with a dark luster under the dim firelight.

Seven or eight iron chains as thick as the front of a car stretched toward the coffin from all directions, locking the coffin in a vertical position in the mid-air.

I've never heard of such a backlash.

The so-called reverse warfare, simply put, is the specific method of erecting a hole and placing the coffin after selecting a good Feng Shui location. It is a part of Kanyu Feng Shui.

Depending on the feng shui of each place, the form of reverse warfare also varies.

Placing a coffin in accordance with the trend of the mountains is called "Shunzhan". For example, I once heard a lecturer in the introduction to archeology talk about his previous experience. When excavating the tomb where Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty was buried, I found that the tomb followed the trend of the mountains of Wujiang Mountain.

place the coffin;

The opposite of its name is "Nizhan". Nizhan does not set up a cave to place the coffin against the direction of the dragon's veins, but uses the direction of the mountains on one side of the tomb as a reference. Therefore, sometimes you can see the coffin placed diagonally in ancient tombs.

As for the coffin, it is likely that it was placed in reverse.

The legendary Adou who could not be supported, the tomb of Liu Chan, the last lord of the Shu Han Dynasty, is a typical example of rebellion.

And so on, there are many types of counterattacks, and if we were to list them in detail, we could not finish them in three days and three nights; there are twelve mainstream methods of counterattacks, also known as the "Twelve Battles of Kanyu".

However, no matter which method is used, there is a premise. That is, the coffin must be placed on the "ground". Even the famous "Jiangxi hanging coffin" is only a type of cliff burial and is still attached to the rocks.

above.

I have never heard of the coffin being fixed in mid-air with iron ropes like this.

Such a burial method that was not accessible to the mountains and unconnected to the earth gave me an unknown feeling.

Being bound by such heavy chains is like...like the living corpse coffins from the Qing Dynasty that appeared in those Hong Kong horror movies starring Lin Zhengying.

Coupled with the skeletons of dead ancient soldiers standing there, I was even more frightened.

The scene where we were besieged by countless living corpses has become a shadow of my childhood. I would rather drown in water than experience it a second time.

Just when I was about to turn around and look for another exit, I heard the sound of rushing water, which seemed to be right under my feet.

I looked down and found that the water in the underground river had reached my toes!

Due to the melting of the ice in the upper reaches of the underground river, the level of the underground river is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At this rate, even if I don't take the initiative to enter the main room of the underground palace, I will be forced in by the rising water soon.

If they were underwater, these skeletons would suddenly come to life...

Thinking of this makes my skin crawl.

At this point, my only escape route has been sealed, so I might as well risk my life and explore the main room to see if there is any chance of survival.

What Er Pang said before reminded me.

This ancient tomb is not an ordinary tomb design, but a giant Bagua array carved into the mountain. I believe this was definitely intentional by the designer of the tomb. Coupled with the strange furnishings of this main room, I dare to

It is certain that the role of this tomb is not just as simple as burying someone.

Since it is a Bagua formation, there must be a door for life.

I carefully avoided the remains of the sergeants and slowly approached the innermost point of the general platform.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. The stories about tomb exploration that my grandfather told me before always have one thing in common, that is, no matter what kind of tomb, the escape mechanism is always hidden in the main chamber where the tomb owner is buried.

inside.

At that time, I felt very strange. Aren't all tombs used for burying the dead? The design of these so-called escape passages seemed to be deliberately designed to allow others to steal or to allow someone to escape.

Later, a knowledgeable senior told me that this fantastic idea was thought up by the First Emperor Ying Zheng. The reason was that Xu Fu told him that the elixir of life would only take effect within a period of time after someone dies.

Therefore, when designing the mausoleum, the First Emperor deliberately left a glimmer of hope in the place where he was buried.

It is a pity that Xu Fu not only did not bring back the elixir of immortality when he went to sea, but also let Qin Shihuang's pigeons go.

In the end, this eternal emperor only ended up being killed in the sand dunes by Li Si and Zhao Gao.

The funniest thing is that in order to show his achievements during his lifetime, Qin Shihuang designed his mausoleum to be filled with mercury to create a river. His coffin floated on the river made of mercury all day long, just like he was touring the world when he was alive.

Later, it was indeed confirmed that the soil of Lishan contains a considerable amount of heavy metals, which is one of the reasons why the tomb of the First Emperor cannot be excavated so far. With such a large amount of mercury volatilization, even if Qin Shihuang is really resurrected, he will probably have to die again.

.

Most of the emperors in ancient China were superstitious about immortality, otherwise they would not let their subjects live forever. Therefore, many large tombs have an escape passage that is not only detrimental to themselves, but also beneficial to tomb robbers.

I stopped one step at a time, taking each step step by step, and finally completed a section of the road.

During the sneaking process, I discovered that the entire main hall is designed with a round sky and a square earth.

The soldiers in red armor were arranged in a square formation, occupying the entire main hall.

Generally speaking, they are arranged in a pattern of 64 vertically and 64 horizontally. The soldiers on the outermost side of each square face outwards, and the other soldiers face the entrance of the underground palace.

Basically, the distance between each row is very narrow, and even a skinny person like me has a hard time passing.

I kept holding my backpack high, straightening my body, and taking deep breaths to ensure that I would not touch these corpses. If I touched any mechanism, I was afraid that I would die without a burial place. After persisting like this for a while, my spirit and

The body is doubly tired.

When I was about to take a breath, I was surprised to find that there were tiny white fluff floating around me that was usually difficult to detect with the naked eye.

It's just like the hair that cats and dogs shed in the summer, only more subtle.

I once heard my grandfather say that many tombs contain many microorganisms and bacteria because they have been buried deep underground for a long time.

Most of these bacteria are not harmful to the human body, but there are also some extreme bacteria that can be fatal to humans.

I quickly held my breath.

However, the moment I held my breath, I suddenly felt someone touching my shoulder.

There was a buzzing in my mind, and my whole body was numb.

My current location is in the center of the underground palace. Because I didn't observe carefully before, I chose a wrong route.

It is located in the narrowest area between the outermost row and the second row of a certain battle formation. According to the rules, the two rows of soldiers should be facing back to back.

However, at this moment, I truly felt that the hand on my shoulder was so thin and hard that it was simply a human hand bone!

I swallowed, moved my head slightly, and looked back with the corner of my eye.

!!!

I saw it! A face as pale as paper, and——

Those slender, smiling eyes!

Those were the same eyes I saw under the ice!

When I saw the face behind me clearly, the hand that grabbed my shoulder hit me a little harder. I felt a sharp pain, and I even suspected that the sharp bony fingers had penetrated into my shoulder. Skin and flesh.

At this moment, I can no longer care about any traps. Anyway, I will die whether I move or not!

I grabbed the backpack with one hand and slowly pulled out the work shovel from the backpack with the other hand.

Then, ignoring the severe pain in my left shoulder, I turned around and swung the shovel down!

I only heard a pop!, and I felt the obstruction of the shovel blade cutting into something. At the same time, the smelly liquid splashed all over my face along the path of the shovel blade.

My first reaction was that it was not ordinary blood!

It was a liquid that was more viscous and more corrosive than blood. The reason was that when it splashed on my face and the back of my hands, I felt a slight itch.

But right now, I don't have time to worry about whether it's disfigured or not. I succeeded in one move, raised my legs and kicked on the thing I hit, took out the shovel and turned around to leave.

But when I looked back, I saw——

The remains of the soldiers who had their backs to me turned around at some point!

Under that armor, there was exactly the same pale face!

I turned around, and the face was already close in front of me, and the wrinkled nose was almost touching the tip of my nose. I could smell the stench of water and decay!

I can see clearly, in the slender gap that day, the pupils suddenly came alive!

No, it shouldn't be!

When I first arrived, I clearly saw that these soldiers were skeletons.

How come in the blink of an eye, they sprouted skin and flesh, exactly like the floating corpses under the ice!?

This ancient tomb revealed danger and strangeness all the time. I had no time to think and solve the mystery, so I could only escape by my survival instinct.

While I was staring at the ancient corpse that "surprised" me, I suddenly heard a certain sound.

The sound was like the wind, but not like the wind, rustling.

It's like they are whispering in the wind, hoarse and low, as if they are reciting a spell.

As I listened, I felt that the sound of the wind seemed to have changed.

Gradually, it became louder and sharper, echoing in every corner of the hall.
