Chapter five hundred and forty fifth tomb, underground palace
Seeing that his words seemed to frighten everyone, Gao Jingfei chuckled and said:
"The senior masters who arranged this place are really far-sighted. If nothing else, Jiangmu Village, a place of vitality and harmony, has been venting the evil spirits in this forbidden area for hundreds of years.
There really are thousand-year zombies, and they will probably become extremely weak over the years. If not for this unexpected interruption, it is estimated that in another hundred years, these thousand-year zombies will also be turned into a pile of withered bones in the tomb!"
After he finished speaking, the meaning behind his words was reasonable and reasonable, which immediately alleviated everyone's worries and fears. However, it also caused everyone to stare unkindly at the group of foreigners.
All this is because of the greed and meddlesomeness of these foreigners. Otherwise, if the forbidden area has been silent for hundreds of years, how could zombies suddenly break out?
When Father Fosfan saw that he had provoked public anger, he quickly explained politely:
"I personally feel very regretful and sorry for the reckless behavior of Eric Hoffman's expedition. I think if the Holy See knew that their greed had brought disaster to this peaceful village, they would definitely give it to them.
They condemn!”
Listening to what Father Yang said, Gao Jingfei and other time-travelers showed disdain. The foreign monk's words were all like politicians, and he was simply talking about one thing and another.
I say I'm sorry, but I don't see the sincerity of the apology at all, and I only say it's a superficial condemnation, but in fact I don't take any responsibility at all. Even if I really condemn it, it will only be an understatement. In terms of language,
The condemnation was just like scratching the surface of the greedy colonists and had no real impact at all.
What's more, he thinks that he and others don't know the culprit of all this. Is the initiator the so-called Holy Court of Light?
This Holy Palace of Light is really not sacred at all, let alone bright.
After all, the time traveler is not from this world, and the Western powers are very powerful. Even the Xia people in this world may not have any good solutions to this problem. If they intervene rashly, they will easily do bad things with good intentions, so they simply ignore this foreigner.
Si Fan's attitude focused on this tomb.
"Taoist Master Mao, can you tell the details of this tomb?"
Gao Jingfei stood in the middle of the Shinto, the corridor in front of the mausoleum, looking at the upper palace of the mausoleum at the other end and said to Mao Jiufang.
Mao Jiufang frowned and watched. He hesitated for a few breaths before replying:
"I am dissatisfied with Master Gao. Mr. Mao has few talents and little knowledge, but he cannot see clearly the situation of the tomb. However, with such a strong evil spirit, if there are ghosts in the tomb, they must be the ghost kings!"
Gao Jingfei nodded and was not disappointed. Although he could not distinguish the Feng Shui situation and formations here, it was because he had only learned the art of Qimen formations for more than two months and was just getting started. This kind of layout that uses the natural terrain
The formation method is also an extremely high-end category among the formation methods. It is normal for him to not understand it for a while.
However, his pair of spiritual eyes can clearly see the distribution of spiritual light and evil energy in the tomb below. He can basically determine where the core is and which place is more dangerous.
So he said hello and took the lead into the palace, leading everyone through the front hall of the upper palace and straight to the entrance to the underground palace at the back that he saw through his spiritual vision.
Arriving at the entrance to the underground palace sealed by huge rocks, I saw that this place seemed to have experienced a battle, as if it had been bombarded by cannons. One of the thick and huge stone doors of the underground palace was shattered.
The intact one is still engraved with two large characters and painted with vermilion paint, which has not completely faded after thousands of years.
Combined with the remaining strokes on the broken stone gate, everyone can see that it should be a warning of "Death to the Beginner". The font of these words has not changed much from the birth of regular script to the present, even for those who cannot write traditional Chinese characters.
You can probably recognize it at a glance.
Fortunately, although the tomb door was damaged, the stone beams were not affected and were still firmly supporting the tunnel at the entrance to the underground palace.
"Deputy Captain Li, there are many dangers under this underground palace, and there may be some that cannot be taken care of. Do you want to go down together?"
After listening to Mao Jiufang's words, Deputy Li also flinched at this time. Although he has responsibilities, his life is important after all. If these experts can solve the ghosts in the tomb, then everything will be easy, and he can do whatever he wants.
It's perfectly fine to report it to the superior and fool the superior, and it won't have a bad impact on the case.
If the Tao is one foot high and the devil is ten feet high, and the masters cannot solve the ghosts but are solved by the ghosts, then even if he follows, it will not help. Instead, he might as well save his life and go back to the county to report and let the county magistrate invite him.
Wouldn't it be more important for more experts to subdue ghosts and monsters?
Deputy Captain Li, who was looking for a reason for himself, shook his head and said with a heavy face:
"I won't go down. It's a burden to go down anyway. Why don't we lead people to guard outside the tomb and help the experts keep an eye on the safety of the entrance, lest you get trapped down there due to some accident!"
It seems that the deputy police captain is very self-aware! Mao Jiufang glanced at Deputy Captain Li approvingly, and other extraordinary people also had the same attitude.
In fact, Mao Jiufang said this just to make Deputy Li and the others stay. After all, they are all mortals. Although they have a few pistols, they have no lethality against zombies, and they have no effect against ghosts.
Because ordinary gunpowder weapons cannot kill ghosts, unless they are primitive firecrackers or matchlocks, the fire, smoke, nitrate, sulfur and other substances they erupt have a certain restraint on the existence of evil spirits, and the higher the quality of the black gunpowder,
The better the effect.
In Taoist sects, there are anti-evil firearms that use gunpowder as a means of self-defense. They are called fire thunders, which are similar to firecrackers or grenades. However, they are mixed with cinnabar and other anti-evil and positive substances, so the effect can be greater.
So just as Deputy Li said himself, they would be a burden to go down, not to mention the two villagers. Looking at the deep tunnel below, I couldn't help but tremble in my legs and tremble in my heart.
In the end, the only people who decided to go down were the time traveler and the two practitioners, Mao and Wu, plus the shameless Father Fosfan and his two followers.
The rest of the people, including Frick's other attendants, stayed on top.
Everyone entered the tunnel, with the traversers in front, Mao Wu and the two in the middle, and the three foreigners in the back.
Before Deputy Li took out his kerosene lighter to light the fire, he saw a ball of golden flower-like flame flying out of Gao Jingfei's head. Each petal was composed of golden flame, exuding a warm and sacred brilliance, illuminating the entire tunnel.
The lights are bright.
Compared with Gao Jingfei, the pale white light that appeared on the body of the foreign priest behind him who was holding a holy scripture and reciting scriptures was completely different, and the two sides decided to judge.
The time traveler, Mao Jiufang, and Wu Shanhua were all on guard, and the foreigners were even more cautious and nervous. Only Gao Jingfei walked relaxedly in the tomb passage.
Because Gao Jingfei knew that there was no danger in this section of the tunnel at the entrance to the underground palace. Even if there had been, it was probably destroyed by people who had visited before.
The structure of this tomb is obviously the masonry tomb structure that emerged in the Han Dynasty, which replaced the previous wooden coffin tomb structure. This tomb is stronger and stronger, and it is easier to set up traps to prevent tomb robbers.
However, the structure of the tomb here is very different from that of traditional masonry tombs. It does not have a rectangular earthen pit dug vertically downward from the ground as a tomb for placing the coffin, like the wooden coffin tomb inherited from the pre-Qin Dynasty.
When they walked out of the tomb passage and entered the front room, which was the chariot room where emperors and princes usually placed their chariots and horses, they could see a palace-like city-like existence under a bright starry sky.
