Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Yin Temple

I asked the doubt in my heart: "What is this place?" "I don't know!" Qiu Nineteen whispered. "Aren't you very familiar with this area? Have you never been here?" I couldn't help but wonder, this Qiu Shijiu must have been wandering around the mass graves all year round, digging graves and fighting?Moreover, this also proves that the mass grave is already old, otherwise, this place would be a mountain village, and there would be absolutely no funerary objects in the new grave, so it would be useless for him to dig it. These days, only antiques are valuable. Even if you don't use those things that have been passed down in an orderly manner, if you take up the word "ancient", you can exchange for some money.

"Have you ever heard of a person who is desperate for money and will stay in one place for a long time?" Qiu Nineteen asked rhetorically. "Uh..." I was at a loss for words for a while, and then said after a while, "The lines are separated by mountains, don't be surprised!" "This looks like a Yin Temple!" Qiu Jiujiu whispered. "Yin Temple?" My heart moved, and I asked, "You mean, there are tombs of ancient princes and emperors in this place?" "Looking at the scale, it should be!" Qiu Nineteen whispered. "Hmm..." I agreed noncommittally, and then my heart moved, and I smiled, "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!" Qiu Nineteen scolded, "What do you know, kid? This place has a certain age, and the tombs of the princes of the past dynasties, how can it be so easy to enter? Besides, someone can use the sky to change the terrain. Experts, maybe they are here to do business, and they don’t want to be disturbed by others, so they will take the lead, so why don’t we go in and drink the footwashing water?” "Then let's go now?" I smiled wryly, muttering in my heart, I didn't expect that there are so many details in digging a grave. "I can't even go!" Qiu Nineteen shook his head and said, "I think, let's go and have a look!"

When I heard the words, I immediately understood that the tomb robber obviously didn't give up, there was nothing he couldn't get out of, and he just wanted to go in and have a look. "Let's go!" Qiu Shijiu said while carrying the tattered sack on his back before walking forward. When I passed by the stone statue with the dragon head and the body of a turtle, my heart skipped a beat, and I remembered for no reason that the ancient tomb near Honglian Temple last night, there was also something strange in it. Under the golden well, there should be a tomb within a tomb. It is not easy to be a tomb robber. Ancient tombs are also non-renewable resources. If you discover one, you will lose one. Moreover, due to the age, many buildings on the ground of the ancient tombs have been buried in dust and can no longer be distinguished. .

"Hey—" I suddenly called out, "Grave Digger!" "What are you talking about, kid!" Qiu Shijiu had already taken out his flashlight, and looked carefully at the stone statue with a dragon head and a turtle body, "I want to call you big brother, do you understand?" "You're not from the underworld!" I muttered in a low voice, because he's from the underworld, that's why people call him "Big Brother"! "Look at this stone statue, it seems to be something from the Tang Dynasty!" Qiu Shijiu ignored me and said to himself.

"I don't look like it!" I shook my head. "Huh?" Qiu Nineteen was obviously stunned for a while, and asked, "You kid still knows how to appreciate antiques? You have to know that I may have sold more antiques than you have ever seen." "It's absolutely impossible!" I laughed, "You look down on people too much! Look at you, you don't do well even if you think about it. I dare not say anything else, but you must be an antique. Not as many as I have seen, I once had a friend who collected tens of thousands of volumes of various ancient texts..."

"Ah?" Qiu Nineteen was obviously stunned, and I could even clearly see the envious flash of envy in his eyes. Ancient calligraphy and paintings that have been passed down in an orderly manner are the most valuable, because ancient calligraphy and paintings are no more than other things , It is not easy to keep, so it is rare in the world. These days, the fewer things, the more precious they are. Therefore, I can understand that even if Qiu Nineteen has dug a grave for a lifetime, he may not have seen many ancient calligraphy and paintings. After all, if this thing is buried with the owner of the tomb, if it can be excavated, most of it will be turned into ashes, just like I did last night The same as the "Materia Medica Ghost Doctor" that I found.

"Your friend is really rich!" Qiu Nineteen sighed. "Of course, he's rich!" I nodded. "Then why are you still running in the deep mountains? There is such a friend, what can't be done with a favor?" Qiu Nineteen shook his head and asked. "He's dead!" I sighed, "I traveled all over the world to save people and treat diseases, and I don't ask for money for medical treatment. I only hope that I can collect incense from hundreds of schools!" "What?" Qiu Jiujiu obviously knew what the hundred incense sticks were for, and his expression changed immediately, and he asked in surprise, "You actually want to act against the sky?"

"It's not against the sky!" I smiled lightly. "Even the kings of ancient times, including all the underworld warriors, may not be able to do it!" Qiu Nineteen shook his head and said, "You are completely wishful thinking, impossible, absolutely impossible!" "It depends on man's effort, I just try my best, otherwise, I have nothing to do!" I said. "Okay, let's not talk about this!" Qiu Shijiu said, "Tell me, this stone statue doesn't seem to be from the Ming Dynasty. What year was it?" "Ming!" I picked up a blue brick from the ground and handed it to him, "This brick is from the Ming Dynasty no matter in size or style, but this stone statue—to be honest, at first glance, I also thought it was from the Tang Dynasty."

"You look very carefully, kid!" Qiu Nineteen took the brick from my hand, looked at it, nodded and said, "That's why I feel strange, this stone statue... I shouldn't be mistaken, this is not an imitation brick from the Ming Dynasty. Don's things!" "This stone statue and bricks should not be of the same era!" I said. After listening to this, Qiu Jiujiu thought for a while and shook his head, "Mang Mountain has been filled with ancient tombs since ancient times. Could it be that this place is actually..." "If it's ordinary people, it's fine, but this ancient tomb seems to be very huge!" I shook my head and said, "The buildings on the ground have not been completely buried, and ancient princes would never do such things. "

"That's why it's weird! Besides, why is there only one of these Bixi?" Qiu Shijiu seemed at a loss as well. I am also surprised, there is no reason why there is only one, and even if it is old and submerged in the wind and frost of history, since this one is still intact, it is impossible not to find the other one even with the gravel , but when I glanced over, I didn't see another Bixi. "Let's look around here!" I said. "Alright!" Qiu Nineteen agreed, and suddenly asked, "You kid, don't you want to go out? Why do you hear that there is an ancient tomb, and you are more excited than me?" I am stunned, am I excited?Who are these people?With the flashlight on, I turned around the big cat, and suddenly my heart moved, and I called out, "Hey, grave digger!" "Boy, I warn you, if you dare to call me to dig a grave, I will dig your ancestral grave!" Qiu Jiujiu said angrily. "Hehe—" I just smiled, my family's ancestral grave?I don't know where it is, he wants to dig, just dig.Behind me, Qiu Nineteen's slightly surprised voice came: "This is..." "There should be an underground palace here!" I whispered, "Look at this trace, it doesn't look like someone has just dug it up, at least it's been a while, should we go in and have a look?" Not far behind Bixi, there are some blue brick buildings. Qiu Shijiu's judgment is correct. There is indeed a Yin Temple in this place, and the entrance of the underground palace is in the Yin Temple. The Yin Temple has collapsed, so Even if I stand outside, I can still see a dark hole, which was opened by violence. Specifically, this grave digger has no technical content at all, and he used explosives to blow it open. From the broken blue bricks next to me, I can even judge that this guy is not even professional in blasting. Qiu Shijiu stomped his feet and beat his chest, and kept sighing. Seeing this, I smiled and said, "I know there is an ancient tomb, which is very strange. I wonder if you are interested in going to see it?" "You kid, don't lie to me!" Qiu Nineteen shook his head and said, "Although there are many barren tombs in Guiman Mountain, there are only a few ancient tombs that are officially recorded, and they are all cultural relics under national key protection. I want to go there for real. If you dig it, you don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life, you will have free national meals!” Obviously, there is an ancient tomb in this place, but someone else took it first, so Qiu Shijiu is annoyed. For a tomb robber like him, a well-preserved ancient tomb is like a stunning beauty in the eyes of a sensualist, but these days, there are so many beauties whether artificial or synthetic, on the streets and alleys.Well-preserved ancient tombs are very rare. "It's not been excavated!" I said, and while speaking, I was already walking towards the entrance of the underground palace, although I knew very well in my heart that I don't know the age of this ancient tomb, and I don't know who it belongs to. It was also violently opened, and the mutilated corpses might be removed inside, not even a piece of shroud would be left for us, but out of human instinctive curiosity, I still couldn't help but want to go down and have a look. "It's not a cultural relic protected by the state!" I said as I walked. "Oh?" Qiu Nineteen was clearly interested, he hurriedly took a step forward, and asked close to me, "Where is it?" "Luohe Town, you haven't heard of such a place, have you?" I laughed. "Are you a doctor from Zou Fang, or a master in our profession?" Qiu Jiujiu muttered in a low voice. I didn't care, just smiled, and at the same time took out a short candle from the backpack, lit it with a lighter, and lit it at the entrance of the underground palace. At the entrance of the dark underground palace, although the yin shrine above is broken, it still shelters the wind and rain. Therefore, the entrance does not appear to be too humid. By candlelight, it turns out that there is a row of stone steps made of bluestones. Don't know how deep it is. "You have quite a lot of skills!" Qiu Jiujiu said in a low voice behind me. I didn't speak, just squatted down, measured the size of the entrance of the underground palace with my hands, and calculated the possible depth below. Although I have never done grave digging and robbery, my old friend studied ancient Chinese prose, and he also has knowledge of ancient mechanism techniques. A certain understanding, I once instilled some knowledge of ancient tombs in me. I listened to it as a joke at the time, but I didn't expect that it would be useful in this life. At this moment, I suddenly heard a charming chuckle from inside the underground palace... My heart trembled, and a vague and inexplicable fear crept into my heart. Could it be that there are still living people in this ancient tomb palace that has been deserted for so long?Moreover, listening to the charming laughter just now, it was obviously a young woman. I don't know why, but there is an irresistible allure in that laughter, I even want to just go on like this and see what happens. "Hey——" Qiu Nineteen didn't seem to hear any laughter at all, and shouted from behind me, "Boy, do you want to go down and see, if you don't go, your elder brother and I will go alone, if there are still people down there If you have something good, don’t even think about sharing it.” "I..." I backed off a little, and was about to say no more. Unexpectedly, that damned Qiu Shijiu seemed to have seen through my intentions, and said bluntly: "In these days, if you dare to walk in the deep mountains, it doesn't mean you dare to enter the ancient tomb to have a look!" "Let's go!" I gritted my teeth, but thought to myself, "Who are these people? Didn't I never break into the ancient tomb?" While speaking, Qiu Nineteen took the lead and walked in front. He did not know where he took out a flashlight. The entrance of the ancient tomb palace is not narrow, and it can even be said to be a bit wide, allowing two people to walk side by side. Walking in rows, I walked beside him, under the beam of the flashlight, the shadows of the two of us were long on the ground, my shadow was still normal, and Qiu Shijiu's puffy face was like a ghost... I don't know why, but I feel a little dazed in my heart. This Qiu Shijiu crawled out of the tomb. Now, someone tricked me into walking into this unidentified ancient tomb. I didn't even see his original appearance clearly. God knows. Is he a man or a ghost? Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt a nightmare, if this Qiu Shijiu is not a living person at all, but transformed into a ghost, leading me step by step towards Huangquan Road, God knows what is waiting for me in this underground palace... In my nose, I smelled the rotten smell of his body, with the unique smell of corpses, I stood still, and there was a chill on my back. "Why don't you leave?" Seeing me standing still, Qiu Jiujiu stopped immediately and asked. I stared at his eyes, which were dark and luminous, not like a human being. I suppressed the panic in my heart, and I felt a little dry. I have never been such a careless person. What happened today? For a person who just met, or met under such unimaginable circumstances, he actually entrusted him to walk into this ancient cemetery palace with him. He is the one I saw with my own eyes, crawling out of the grave...or is he not human at all? "Is your person a ghost?" My voice was a little trembling, and it was a little hoarse, and it was hard to hear. "Are you crazy?" Qiu Nineteen said angrily, "I've told you many times, I'm a living person! But it's really strange, why does I suspect you to be a ghost?" "I still look like a human being, but you don't even look like a human being..." My voice was still trembling, even though he said that, it didn't dispel the doubts in my heart, "I won't go to this ancient tomb palace—I want Go back!" With that said, I turned around and was about to leave. Behind him, Qiu Jiujiu suddenly said, "Do you know the way?"
