Chapter 38 Yin and Yang Lanterns in Nanming Ancient Tombs
Just when I was excited to think that I could stay on the top of the cliff, and after everyone entered the tomb, I could take the opportunity to escape, the old man Mai waved his hand and said decisively: "Let's go, go in, share the joys and sorrows, and no one will be left!"
This old man doesn't trust anyone, it's okay for me, because he has already noticed what I think. As for Yang Xiaolan, he probably was told to keep a close eye on me, so that's why.
Although Di Baotian was a little surprised, the trip was mainly made up of old man Mayi after all, so he didn't say much. He just pulled out a bundle of hemp rope from his waist, tied it on a sturdy fir tree nearby, and then started to put it down. Then he jumped down. After a while, a sound came from below, and he agreed to come down.
This was very low. Suddenly, a night owl flew out in the forest behind us. I don’t know if it was a crow or an owl. The flapping wings made a "hula" sound. The old man Mai's eyes instantly became very sharp. He looked back carefully and said nothing for a long time.
The atmosphere suddenly became very nervous. Yang Xiaolan was a little scared and pulled her father's sleeve and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
The old man Mayi's eyes kept following the bird and flew into the night sky. Then he came to his senses, licked his lips, shook his head and said it was okay. At this time, Di Baotian below was already impatient, pulled the rope, and urged him again. Then the old man Mayi ignored him and asked me to go down first. I dared not disobey, and pulled the rope and began to slide down. The distance was very long. If I had said that before, I might have been frightened, but at this moment it was extremely smooth. After a while, I stopped at an open opening halfway across the middle, and saw Di Baotian holding the rope there, holding a copper lamp in his hand, emitting a hazy light.
It was this light that guided me down. I was a little curious and asked Di Baotian: "Uncle Wang, what is this thing called? It looks so interesting?"
Along the way, Di Baotian didn't communicate with me much. When he heard me ask this, he looked at me in confusion. He probably didn't understand the relationship between me and the old man Mayi, but he didn't want to neglect it. Instead, he explained to me carefully: "This lamp is an old object in our business, called an yin and yang lamp. The lamp oil is made of the uterus of a cow. It is also a coincidental design, so you can feel the dirty things you don't know. Once there, the light will flash continuously to serve as a reminder..."
After saying that, he threw the copper lamp forward, and the thing did not fall down, but floated slowly, illuminating the huge platform opening.
Seeing his move, I guessed that what Yang Xiaolan said just now was not a false statement. I was in awe and didn't ask any more questions. Di Baotian looked surprised when he saw me, and guessed that I was just a disciple who had just taken over and had no ability, so I stopped paying attention to me and began to respond to Yang Xiaolan.
I was so happy to be idle. With the faint light, I looked inside and saw a weathered gap outside, and there were some bushes and wild trees beside it. However, walking a little inside, you could see a cave, which was very small, but enough to accommodate a person to climb in. The cliff was not very high. After a dozen meters down, there were only a few small pools, not big. Looking down at night, there was a light swaying. I looked at it, and then Yang Xiaolan fell down. Then the old man Mayi and the big man came down together, swayed the hemp rope, and then hid it in the vines, explaining to the old man Mayi: "It is a road upward, and if it doesn't work, it's OK to jump from here to there and go down the slope to the valley."
The old man Mai nodded and asked, "I understand. You have read your father's notes, so you should know how to enter, right?"
Di Baotian suddenly became excited, his face suddenly turned a little red, and he said word by word: "My father was harmed by the Nanming tomb. Since I was sensible, I have been urging indirectly to uncover the mysterious veil of this ancient tomb so that my father can live like a normal person. The ancient tomb is dangerous. Before entering, I will tell you about the situation here. This tomb was built by the rudder of the Chunan branch of the Nanming Lotus Sect. According to the secret records passed down, it is divided into three layers in total. My father and others entered the second floor and then turned around. The real secret is on the third floor. Only when they enter there can all the mysteries be revealed ^"
I thought to myself that this man's father was just a person who was digging other people's graves. No wonder he suffered that. But when I think about it, he is actually quite filial. Otherwise, he would have been so dangerous here that even his father would have stopped him, but he came without hesitation. He was really a man, just like my brother Erdan.
Di Baotian took a branch and began to draw a topographic map of the inner part on the ground. I looked hard and thought that if something was wrong, I would definitely turn back the same way and then quickly leave the phone.
After explaining these, Di Baotian stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone, do you understand?"
We all nodded, then we were ready to rub our hands, and Di Baotian explained some precautions for entering the inner room, then clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "The mountains are opened and the earth is broken. The ancestors bless me. We have no way to live, so we can give you some food." After he said comfortingly, the copper lamp next to him floated slowly into the cave next to him. The old man Mayi looked back at me, recited a spell, and the big man moved, and put it in the second position, and then he followed. I didn't move, but Yang Xiaolan kicked me in the butt and shouted: "Let's go, what are you doing here? Wait for death?"
Yang Xiaolan said fiercely, and I knew that my position was fourth, and her responsibility was to monitor me.
I didn't say anything, followed the old man Mayi and drilled into the small hole. It was a man-digged cave, a strong man as big as a big man in and out. The soil on both sides was relatively dry. It was obvious that I had been climbing with my head buried and climbed for dozens of meters, but it was not over. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, was this cave dug by his father? How much engineering cost would it take? If Tianjiaba could invite them to build a dam in that time, it wouldn't be so hard.
My thoughts were floating like this. We had reached the end of the cave. There was a pause in front. Because there were three people, I didn't see it. After waiting for a few minutes, I started moving again. So I continued to crawl forward. Suddenly, there was a blank in front and I saw us crawling into a relatively spacious space.
I came late, and four candles had already lit up here in front of me, and placed them at the four corners of southeast, west and north.
The candle was placed very carefully. It was not the four corners of the room, but was carefully calculated using a compass. It was placed in the four directions of the east, west, south, and north. There was no trace of deviation. I also saw a pile of corpses next to it. There were four heads, but there seemed to be more bones. Then I understood why it was blocked just now. This thing looked scary. If I had to scream before, I had to scream. However, I had to brush the pile of zombies of the old man Mayi for half a year, so I could be immune.
There is nothing in the room we are in. It is just a dirt room, some fragments, and it is probably taken away by our ex. There is a gap next to it, a tunnel that covers the sky and walks into it. As we walk, we say, "This tunnel is very dangerous and has traps everywhere. My father and others have filled four lives and arrived at the second floor. After so many years, I don't know if there will be any changes or omissions. Be careful."
No one responded. At the front of this narrow corridor, the Yin-Yang lamp was shaking, and we walked carefully behind us. After walking for a while, we came to another space. It was more than twice as big as outside. There were many fragmented things, including tables, chairs, beds, and lacquerware. The bright red color did not dim with time.
In the middle, there is a coffin made of thick obsidian material, which grows directly from the ground, and is more than two meters high.
Apart from this, there is no more channel.
