Entering the stone gate, there is a flat area with a huge stone pillar inside. On top of the stone pillar is carved a yellow five-clawed golden dragon. The golden dragon's eyes are wide and the clouds are rising under its feet, making it look like a living creature.
"Tsk, tsk, it's such a generous work. I'm afraid it will take more than ten years to carve this golden dragon. The craftsmanship of this craftsman is really good."
The sloppy Taoist looked around the golden dragon, then smacked his lips in admiration.
"The white tiger swallows the sky, and below it is the golden dragon's nest. It's really amazing," a Taoist said with emotion.
Next to the dragon pillar, there is a stone staircase that is still winding upward. Each step seems to protrude from the stone wall, because there is nothing to support it below, which looks quite magical.
On the other side of the dragon pillar, there was an aisle for two people to pass through. Oil lamps were lit on the walls on both sides.
These oil lamps were not artificially lit, but were placed with white scales. The ignition point of white scales is very low and will ignite as long as there is a little heat. Therefore, those oil lamps were automatically ignited after the tomb door was opened just now.
"If I guess correctly, this tomb should be a hanging coffin, and this stone staircase should lead to the hanging coffin, so it is in the right place," an old Taoist said softly.
"Yes, it is difficult to get in and out of this mountain. It is impossible to have a lot of property. There should be only one hanging coffin on the top. The hanging coffin is placed in the tiger's mouth. It is supported by a golden dragon below. It gathers the dragon's energy below and captures the destiny above.
It’s rare.”
The sloppy Taoist nodded, obviously very satisfied with everyone's analysis. Then he looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Taoist Xiao, would you like to go up and have a look? This White Tiger Devouring Heaven Point is rare."
"Of course, since I'm here, of course I have to go and see it."
After coming here, Xiao Yu certainly couldn't return empty-handed. This was a tomb after all. If there wasn't anything valuable in it, it would probably be necessary. Moreover, the White Tiger Swallowing Heaven Cave was a rare sight, so how could he miss it?
When the professor and Taoist priest saw what the sloppy Taoist said, they immediately looked at the crowd and said, "If anyone else is willing to go up, they can go together."
"Since I'm here, of course I have to go in and have a look. The poor monk is willing to mess around with the two Taoist priests."
Monk Jiekong did his part, and several other Taoists walked out one after another, willing to go up and have a look.
Next, the professor, Taoist Priest Ou, and others were looking at the tomb below, while Xiao Yu and his party walked up the stone stairs in a mighty manner.
Next, there was no danger on the stone stairs. It was very safe along the way. After walking for half an hour, everyone came to a stone door again.
Standing here, everyone lowered their heads and looked down. Only then did they see that they and others had actually entered the huge stone pillar, and below they could see the body of the golden dragon with its teeth and claws.
"Wonderful, the golden dragon guards the coffin. This is a stroke of genius." The sloppy Taoist praised it profusely.
"This must be the place where the coffin is hidden. The tiger's mouth is open and the ventilation should be good." Xiao Yu looked at the stone door and said.
"Yes, this coffin is in a stone cave. This door is to block the entry of outside air and prevent the tomb from weathering."
"Let's go in and have a look."
After the sloppy Taoist finished speaking, he reached out and patted the stone door, but the stone door remained indifferent.
This stone door is not big, just like the door of an ordinary people's home. The only difference is that there are some Buddhist scriptures engraved on this stone door.
The stone gate below has a mechanism, but there is nothing next to this stone gate.
Seeing that the old man couldn't push it away, Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward. The two of them pressed their hands on the stone door. Then white light came out of their hands and they exerted force at the same time. Only a roar was heard, and the stone door began to retreat to both sides.
The stone door was opened, and a cool air came in. It looked darker inside, but a faint light could still be seen.
Several Taoist priests lit candles and entered the stone door one after another. This is the mouth of the white tiger and the key to the entire tomb.
With the help of the light of the candle, Xiao Yu and others saw that the cave was not very high, probably only about two meters. It looked very dry inside, with some bird droppings falling around it.
There are some scriptures carved on the walls of the cave. Xiao Yu doesn't know what they mean, but the Buddhist disciples behind him all show signs of piety.
"Why, how many masters do you know?"
Xiao Yu looked at the scriptures on the wall and asked immediately.
"Amitabha, this is a Buddhist sutra and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mantra."
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva mantra?" Xiao Yu nodded, and then continued, "Since it is a Buddhist mantra, it must be engraved here to transfer the souls of the dead."
"Yes, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra can eliminate the bad consequences of this life and past lives, and transform people in the world to do good. It is the highest Buddhist sutra." The Buddhists clasped their hands devoutly and nodded slightly to the sutra.
Xiao Yu nodded and did not answer. Instead, he took a few steps forward with the candle and came to the side of the sloppy Taoist. The two of them looked into the depths of the cave together.
The cave is not very long, only about fifty meters. In the innermost part of the cave, there is a platform tens of centimeters high, and there is a sarcophagus on the platform.
The sarcophagus is white, and it is completely empty around it. There is nothing to block it, and there are no written records, so Xiao Yu and the others don't know who is inside.
How could a person who wanted to seize the throne of emperor leave his family name here? Although this place is hidden enough, there is always an absolute in everything. Once the incident comes to light, the nine tribes will be killed!
The old man stepped forward, looked at the coffin, knocked on it, and then said, "Would you like to open it and take a look? Maybe you can find something good."
Speaking of antiques, there really was nothing in it, not even a broken jar, so Xiao Yu didn't think there would be anything in it.
"Forget it, since it's someone else's tomb, let's not disturb it. If we open someone else's coffin, wouldn't we be tomb robbers?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Master Xiao is right, we are just here to take a look, so we don't want to disturb the dead," a nun said with her hands clasped together.
The sloppy Taoist laughed, then patted the coffin, and then smiled and said, "Okay, then I will listen to you and let him sleep well."
After wandering around for a while, he didn't get anything. Xiao Yu was a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged because what he got was hundreds of times better than those antiques. It was a great harvest.
Next, everyone stood at the tiger's mouth and observed where they came from. Then they returned to the original route and looked inside the tomb below. Although some porcelain was found below, they were all broken and had no value at all. Professor
The others stayed there and continued their pretentious research, while Xiao Yu and others returned the same way.
While Xiao Yu and others were exploring the tomb, the cultivation of the ghost corpse had reached its most critical moment.
The red hair stopped falling off after falling off many times, but at this time, the hair had changed from black to white. From a distance, it looked like a white ape squatting somewhere.
