According to the "Shan Hai Jing" and "Huai Nan Zi", the top ten mythical beasts in ancient times are monsters in myths and legends. Fang, Taotie, Feifei, Zhuqian, Chaos, Qingji, Qinglong.

Legend has it that the 梼杌 was originally just a feared and disgusting villain, a beast in ancient legends.Legend has it that it is one of the "Four Ominous" in ancient times. It was transformed by the resentment after the death of Gun, the great-grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu and the father of Dayu.And this resentment turned into a 梼杌 that looks like a tiger with dog hair, two feet long, a human face, tiger feet, pig mouth teeth, and a tail that is one foot and eight feet long, disturbing the desert.

The animal bone mentioned in Sujingmo's tomb is the bone of this wuwu, and it is also something that so many people have wanted to snatch for thousands of years.

梼杌 is ferocious and sinister, but also has extraordinary abilities. It is said that smashing and swallowing all the bones of 梼杌 can keep people alive forever. For a long time, and immortality is fatal to people, which is the dream of many people.

But there is only one 梼杌, but his skeleton has been divided into countless pieces and scattered all over the world. No one has been able to piece it together for thousands of years.

Even the 梼杌 bone in Su Jingmo's tomb is only a part...

Thinking of what happened because of this slender bone before his death, Su Jingmo chuckled softly: "Life and death are destiny, some things should be yours and they are yours. If the heavens don't give it to you, what's the use of fighting like this?"

Speaking of this, Tan Cheng flashed past his eyes and asked him with a smile that day if he looked like he was going to die, Su Jingmo sighed slightly: "It's not a good thing to live too long..."

After saying this, Su Jingmo looked at Qu Zhiwen and said, "What can I do to find that Jiang Bo?"

"Jiang Bo has been dead for five months, but compared with the other grieving ghosts in this tomb from a hundred years ago, he should still have a trace of a living soul. You are also a ghost now, maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, but like A ghost like you who has stayed in the human world for more than 1000 years, even if you haven't cultivated, you can still feel the time difference between becoming a soul."

Nodding his head, Su Jingmo remembered that the evil spirit who followed Tan Cheng into the tomb that day and wanted to kill Tan Cheng was Jiang Bo, right?The ghost was different from other evil ghosts. He still had the breath of a living person and some consciousness of a living person. When he cut off his soul's arm, the ghost clearly recognized Tan Cheng and ran away in a hurry.

only……

"At the beginning, I could feel some differences, but these days have passed, and the breath of life in his soul has long been worn away. As for their time, I'm afraid I can't tell the difference."

Qu Zhiwen knew that this was because Su Jingmo had been sleeping in this tomb all year round, and he had accumulated a lot of ghost energy, but with this kind of perception, Su Jingmo might be like a ghost who had been dead for several years. After thinking about it, he said: "This How many ghosts are there in the tomb?"

"About seven or eight hundred, last time the tomb robber took away a lot."

"I can't cast spells in this tomb, but I can go outside the tomb and set up a formation. This formation will increase your perception of ghosts. Then you should be able to know where Jiang Bo is. Ghosts can pass through walls and live on stone walls. It can also be hidden in the ground, and I'm afraid we can only rely on you to bring him out."

As he said that, Qu Zhiwen bit his finger, dripped blood on the ground, took out the Liuzi incense from his backpack and wanted to light it, but found that the incense could not be ignited in this big tomb, "Oh, it seems that this incense also has spirituality. I don’t even dare to lead the way.”

Shaking his head, Qu Zhiwen put the incense back in his bag, took only two talismans and soaked them in a glass of wine, and then dripped his own blood into the wine. When the yellow talismans and blood melted into the wine, Qu Zhiwen moved very quickly He poured the water on the four corners of the tomb, "The 梼杌 in this tomb is very powerful. The blood wine I transformed can only last for a quarter of an hour, and this water cannot be used for the second time in the same place. When the time comes, your class Find Jiang Bo quickly."

Su Jingmo looked at the wine soaked in yellow talisman and human blood, "If I can really distinguish Jiang Bo from ghosts, a quarter of an hour should be enough."

Qu Zhiwen nodded, then quickly left the tomb, sat cross-legged outside the tomb, and muttered the mantra silently, and four bursts of light flickered around the tomb in an instant.

Su Jingmo in the tomb also closed his eyes when the four corners of the tomb room were lit up.

As night falls, the mountains and forests shrouded in night are extremely silent, and there is clearly no wind, but suddenly there seems to be a wind blowing through the leaves, shaking the branches and trembling.

Sure enough, as Qu Zhiwen said, he could distinguish the ghosts in the tomb more clearly, and among them, the last to die was the ghost hidden five meters underground in the southeast corner of the tomb.

The feeling of the soul passing through the land is very strange, Su Jingmo subconsciously ignores this sense of disobedience, Jiang Bo is not the only ghost in the ground, but when they find that Su Jingmo appears, these ghosts run around as if they have seen something terrifying Yes, Jiang Bo is no exception.

It's just that no matter how he escaped, he was finally thrown into the underground palace tomb by Su Jingmo by his hair.

Su Jingmo glanced at the ghost who was missing an arm in front of him and was bleeding thick black dirt from his mouth, and moved away in disgust.

When Qu Zhiwen returned to the underground palace, he found that Jiang Bo's ghost seemed to be terrified of Su Jingmo, trembling and trying to escape, but was nailed to the ground by Su Jingmo with a sword and could not escape...

"You really are not soft on anyone...I really don't know what that Tan Cheng likes about you..."

Qu Zhiwen spoke softly, but how could Su Jingmo, who was already a ghost, not hear him?

His brows were slightly frowned, but Su Jingmo didn't know how to answer these words, so he could only choose to ignore them.

"This Jiang Bo no longer has human consciousness. He died unjustly and has turned into a grieving ghost. How can he ask?" While speaking, Su Jingmo pulled out the sword that had been stuck in the floor.

However, before putting it into the scabbard, Su Jingmo's hand couldn't help shaking violently,

"when--"

The harsh sound of the sword falling on the white marble slab suddenly overwhelmed the uneasiness in his heart, causing Su Jingmo to change his face.Tan Cheng is the only one who has a connection with him in this world...

Tan Cheng, I'm afraid something really happened...

With his hands trembling uncontrollably, Su Jingmo hastily clenched his fists, hiding them in his wide cuffs, and paced in the tomb with his hands behind his back, but his steps were not as calm as usual...

The peak of Crouching Tiger Mountain is steep, and the terrain below the peak is uneven. It is clearly not the karst landform in the southwest. There are many rocks, but here are strange rocks, which are blocked in this ravine.

Walking up the mountain road, you will come to an open grassland in a short while. On the opposite side of the grassland, there is a huge stone wall on a gentle slope. This stone wall looks like a skyscraper pressing on its back. .And some things were written vaguely on the stone wall, but many things could not be seen clearly on the gray outer wall peeled off by the wind and rain.In some places on both sides of the rocks grow oak and holly, and the roots of the trees grow in the cavities of the rocks and absorb nutrients from there.These trees sway on this cliff, just like the feathers on a warrior's helmet, making the rocky cliff a bit more grim and terrifying.

On the hillside, a few people led him and Wu Hai to the depths of the forest without climbing up. The direction they walked was more sunny, and the trees on this side were taller and denser than those on the other side of the mountain.

The path covered by overgrown weeds was no longer visible. After walking for about three to ten minutes, a dilapidated climbing path made of stone slabs appeared in front of them.

"Is this the mountain road that existed before?"

Tang Jie, who was walking beside Tan Cheng, nodded, "It should have been built when the mausoleum was being built."

Tan Cheng looked up in the direction of the climbing path. The mountain path was covered by trees and he couldn't see anything.

"How do you know about this tomb?"

"It's hard to know if you have lived here for generations." The middle-aged man who spoke took out a cigarette lighter from his pocket, lit it, and took two deep puffs, "This is the mountain of our Tang family, and it is well written in the genealogy. , the things in this mountain are naturally ours."

"Do you know who is buried in this mountain? Which emperor?" Tan Cheng pretended to be puzzled when he said this, "This tomb was built by digging a mountain, and the mountain is the mausoleum. So it probably belongs to the tomb after the Tang Dynasty? Or is it The tomb of which prince or dignitary?"

"You have learned something, but ah, what a pity, the person buried in this tomb is not a Tang Dynasty emperor or prince!" Seeing that Tan Cheng made a mistake, the middle-aged man laughed mockingly: "It's really fucking learning from that Li Guoxian What happened? Why did you build a mausoleum in the Tang Dynasty? Damn, do you know that the Han Dynasty also had such a burial system?"

Tan Cheng, who was always thinking of clichés, was not annoyed, but just sighed softly, "Then where is this tomb? I'm afraid you don't know, don't you all have never been in a large tomb?"

"Put your shit, I don't know?" The bald man with a knife over there cursed, "No one is more familiar with this tomb than us! The big thread written in the genealogy, I think It must be a typo, this should be a tomb from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it should be from the Northern Qi Dynasty!"

But as soon as he said this, the middle-aged man over there threw the cigarette butt in his hand, and slapped the bald head with his palm, "You are just a cheap and talkative kid, don't look at your bald head, how many times have you been caught by the police?" Is it? If you say a few words, you will die?"

"Second Uncle, what's the point of saying this? These two will die sooner or later. What are you afraid of? I just can't see them thinking that they have studied two books, and look down on others without that degree of education! What's the matter? You come from a major, so you don't even understand these basic common sense!"

Tan Cheng glanced at the bald man who was talking, and didn't speak any more, and he didn't continue to ask. What he wanted to know, he heard it just now. That person knew Daxu, and said that the family tree had written such a dynasty, so the Tang family could only be one kind of people,

Tomb keeper of the imperial tomb.

In ancient times, the emperor began to build his own mausoleum when he was in power. After the mausoleum was built, some people were given some money and food to move to live in the mausoleum. In the future, a person can become the keeper of the mausoleum and guard the tomb for generations. Tan Cheng has seen many keeper of the tomb. These people have lived around the tomb for generations and lived a self-sufficient farming life. until now.

Some may not remember their original identities with the passage of time, but there are still so few people in the present age that their ancestors used to be gravekeepers...

And this Tang family is obviously not very clear about this period of history, and mistakenly thought that the genealogy was wrongly written...

The bald man was slapped by his second uncle over there, who was cursing and turned around to see that Tan Cheng didn't take what he said seriously at all, and was just thinking about something.

"Did you fucking hear what I said?!"

Speaking of anger, the more the bald head looked at Tan Cheng, the angrier he became. Just before reaching the destination, the bald head swung the machete and threw it at Tan Cheng.

He was already in danger, and knowing that these people wanted his life, Tan Cheng was naturally on guard all the time.

Tan Cheng was tall and quick to react, so he avoided it before the machete came down. Seeing the messy robbery hole not far away and the tools placed beside it, he was overjoyed and glanced at the Shiti Mountain Road With a ruthless heart, Tan Cheng has already seized the machete, raised his foot and kicked the bald man down. Originally, there was no rush when the stone ladder was built, but on this high and dangerous half-hillside, the bald man fell to the ground with a plop. Fall, roll down the hill!

"Run!" Before they could react, Tan Cheng grabbed Wu Hai's arm and ran towards the robbery cave he saw just now.

By the time those people reacted and chased after them, Tan Cheng and Wu Hai had already slid into the tomb along the robber's hole.

"Damn it!" The middle-aged man was so angry that he walked back and forth in front of the robbery cave and stomped his feet. "If there is no danger in this tomb, I must have found these two and skinned them!"

"Why don't you fucking go and see how that boy Tang Chenggui is doing, damn it! I'm just guarding here, I don't believe the two of them haven't come out yet!"

Tan Cheng and Wu Hai didn't know how angry those people outside the tomb were, and they couldn't care less.

The robbery hole was dug down from a high place, and when the two of them slid down the hole, and when they reached the end of the hole, Tan Cheng firmly stepped on both sides of the hole to prevent him from falling into the tomb. Behind him, Wu Hai also hurriedly supported the narrow hole with both hands.

"What's wrong?" Wu Hai lowered his voice and asked, "Is the entrance to the robber's cave in front?"

"Yes," Tan Cheng said, taking out a small flashlight from his coat pocket and shining it down.With a little light, Tan Cheng carefully observed the structure below,

It was built with rammed red-brown soil, with murals on the walls on both sides, and the passage below is long and narrow.

"What did you find?"

"We seem to be on the slope above the tomb passage. The tomb passage is built about three meters high. We have to be careful when we jump down later."

As he said that, Tan Cheng put away the flashlight. After thinking about it, he reached out and dug out a few large stones from the dirt wall of the robbery cave, and threw them into the passageway below. Tan Cheng, who was moving, exhaled lightly, took out all the food in the backpack on his back, and handed it to Wu Hai behind him.

"Those people dare not come in. It must be that there is a hidden weapon in this tomb. I dragged you into the water for this matter. I will go down first later. If there is nothing wrong, you can jump down again. If there is something wrong...you can Staying here, I think Jiang Ping should be a capable person, and he should be able to find him."

"Fuck you!" Wu Haizhen was about to say something, when Tan Cheng in front let go of his foot that was stepping on the wall of the robber's cave, and jumped down.

Holding his breath, Wu Hai hurriedly lowered his voice after hearing the sound of Tan Cheng falling to the ground and asked, "How is it?"

"It's okay!" Tan Cheng took out the flashlight and shook it up, "Why don't you come down, because there's nothing wrong here, but it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong inside."

"What the hell are you talking about!" Wu Hai growled, then let go of his hand and jumped down from the tomb passage.

Seeing that Wu Hai also came down, Tan Cheng smiled and said, "Are you really desperate?"

"Aren't you too?" Tan Cheng rolled his eyes, and Wu Hai took out a flashlight with no light source from his backpack, "I also want to know what's going on with Daxu, since the answer is right in front of me, how can I go back? Not to mention... ..."

Thinking of those people who said that Li Guoxian killed several people, and the murder case ten years ago... Wu Hai took a deep breath, "It's not just you who want to know the truth about what happened during this period."

Tan Cheng breathed out, "Do you believe what those people said?"

"What about you?" Squatting on the ground and taking out some tools from his backpack, Wu Hai looked up at Tan Cheng, "I'm afraid you believe it, right? You told Zhang Jun and me that you couldn't believe what Li Guoxian said... "

"I don't believe everything these people say, but there must be something wrong with Li Guoxian, it's just that it can't be like what they said."

"That's true." Wu Hai took out the necessary things. Seeing that Tan Cheng had actually taken out a pen and paper from his bag, he couldn't help but be a little confused and said, "What are you doing? Take out a pen and paper. This is to write a copy first." Put the suicide note here?"

What Tan Cheng took was the mechanism Su Jingmo had drawn for him that Da Xu often set up in the tomb, but Wu Hai's sudden words made Tan Cheng stunned.

When he came back to his senses, Tan Cheng laughed out loud, "Wu Hai, I used to always think that you are too straightforward, you are too serious in your work, and you don't know how to turn around when you speak. So you know how to joke?"

Wu Hai has always gotten along well with Zhang Jun, so it seems that he is easily influenced by Zhang Jun.

"Who's kidding you!"

Wu Hai couldn't help laughing when he heard Tan Cheng's words, squatting beside Tan Cheng and said, "The two of us should write a suicide note, and if something happens, we can give our parents an explanation." .”

Tan Cheng fake coughed twice, straightened his expression, nodded and said, "Actually, it's also possible, who knows what will happen in front of us?"

As he spoke, Tan Cheng took out the notebook he carried with him, turned to the last page and thought for a long time before writing a few words.

It was originally a joke, but now I am actually writing it, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.Tan Cheng glanced at Wu Hai, who also took out his notebook and wrote a sentence, and asked with a smile, "What did you write?"

"Look, there are no secrets."

Tan Cheng looked at Wu Hai and wrote two sentences, "Parents, don't be sad, my son is sorry for you." ' asked after a while,

"Bank account number and password?"

"My parents know." After saying this, Wu Hai turned his head to Tan Cheng's notebook with a flashlight, and looked at what Tan Cheng wrote. When he saw the last sentence, Wu Hai was stunned, "This Su Jingmo yes……"

Tan Cheng smiled and didn't answer. He just closed the notebook, took a bag, put the notebook in a corner of the tomb passage, and then opened the drawing that he took out of the bag just now.

Wu Hai looked at the picture that Tan Cheng opened by the light of the flashlight, and when he saw the detailed description and first-level description on it, Wu Hai's brain had lost the ability to direct his own actions, and he stood there motionless like a log, staring blankly. Two eyes stared at Tan Cheng's unfolded picture dazedly.

The beautiful calligraphy in running script explains in detail the mechanism that may be set up in the tomb. Although it is not too specific, it also generally describes the method of avoidance and the way to avoid touching the mechanism.

"This...this is...!"

Tan Cheng looked at the mechanism of the tomb passage written on the drawing, and then observed the appearance of the tomb passage. He took out the compass he brought in his bag to determine the direction of east, west, north, south, and recorded it next to the drawing.

The tomb passage has a slope of about 280 degrees from south to north. It should be four meters wide, three meters high, and horizontally long... Tan Cheng visually measured the distance between the two sides of the tomb passage, and it should be at least 30 meters.

From the entrance of the tomb passage to the east is the line of honor guards in armor and battle robes.Behind the guard of honor is the Qinglong and the city wall and tower with the north as the background.The corner of the city wall is square, and the tower is on the south side of the city wall.There are a large number of honor guards marching in the city.In the murals on the west wall of the tomb passage, in addition to the picture of a white tiger facing a green dragon, there is also a picture of a dragon and a phoenix ascending.

Su Jingmo wrote that the tomb passage of Daxu starts from the entrance of the tomb passage, and there will be a checkpoint every five meters. If any mechanism is touched, the tomb passage will tilt and sink. The smooth tomb passage floor cannot be grasped, and it will roll down the tomb In the middle and lower part, there is an upside-down bronze thorn below this, which fell 100% through the heart and lungs and died...

Thinking of this, Tan Cheng hurriedly told Wu Hai, "Wu Hai, come over and have a look first. It is written in the picture that there is a five-meter row of organs in Daxu's mausoleum, and the organs will be activated when touched. We were lucky just now. Fall on the organ."

Wu Hai looked at the blueprint, suppressed his surprise, and asked, "Where did you get this drawing? Does it really work? I think this paper belongs to us, it's impossible that you took it from the tomb. Did you come out?"

Speaking of this, Wu Hai asked, "Tan Cheng, don't say that there are such pictures in the murals in the tomb. Although I didn't carefully observe the structure inside that day when I entered the tomb, at least I know that the murals don't have such pictures. The pattern of the secret passage of the organ."

Moreover, the whole picture was drawn with a brush. Wu Hai had learned calligraphy, and Tan Cheng could write well with a hard pen. However, the brush and running script on this drawing could not be written by Tan Cheng...

If Wu Hai asked so directly, he would definitely not accept Tan Cheng's perfunctory answer. After lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, Tan Cheng said slowly,

"This is, the person I met in the tomb told me..." There is no need to hide some things now, Tan Cheng smiled slightly: "I met a person in that big tomb, many things are He told me, even the existence of Daxu Emperor's Mausoleum in Pingyao, Shanxi...he told me."

The person you met in the tomb?Wu Hai wouldn't be so stupid, where would he meet someone in the tomb, it must be...

"Not people, but ghosts?"

"These are not important anymore." Tan Cheng picked up the drawings and stood up, looked at Wu Hai and shook his head, "Now is not the time to talk about this, should we both move forward or stay here?"

Wu Hai looked at the picture in Tan Cheng's hand, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Is that picture reliable?"

"Well, I believe him."

"Then what are you waiting for? Of course, we should go forward. This place is too remote. Even if we wait here, I'm afraid we will starve to death, and Jiang Ping may not be able to find it. Go out by yourself, those people must be waiting there. Just now you After playing that game, do they have the heart to skin us and tear us apart? The only way to go is to go forward, even if you die, you still have an understanding, don’t you?”

"I don't necessarily want to die." Tan Cheng laughed, "I don't want to die yet. I want to go home to spend the New Year with my parents this year, and pick up Zhang Qishuo's parents to celebrate the New Year with them." After saying this, Tan Cheng laughed : "If I die like this, Zhang Qishuo might beat me up underground."

And...he hasn't been able to figure out how Da Xu disappeared, this is what Su Jingmo promised...

Thinking of Su Jingmo who had been trapped in that tomb for more than 1000 years, Tan Cheng's heart ached. He still wanted Su Jingmo to leave the big tomb. It would be easy for him to die like this. Will Su Jingmo remain the same in the future? will be left alone in the great tomb,

1000...

2000...

3000...

Eternal life and eternity will stay in that small world, unable to be born, unable to die...

But in his next life, Tan Cheng, he would have already forgotten about this person...

Just thinking of such a scene made Tan Cheng's heart ache. He had never felt this kind of feeling before for outsiders. It was not until he met Su Jingmo that he realized that sometimes heartache is not for himself, but for For that person, I don't want to see him alone, and I don't want to see his innocent fake smile.

Tan Cheng couldn't tell what he liked about Su Jingmo, whether he would like him more, or whether he would stop liking him after a few years as Su Jingmo said, Tan Cheng didn't know either.

The only thing he knew was that when he looked at Su Jingmo's vivid expression because of today's technology, when he had the idea of ​​"it's a good thing to get along with this person like this", he just I fell in love with this person.He wanted someone, wanted someone so desperately, cherished someone, this was the first time, he wanted Su Jingmo to stay by Tan Cheng's side forever...

Closing his eyes to cover up the pain that was about to overflow, Tan Cheng spoke steadily.

"I won't die, definitely not!"
