Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Gate Hall (4)

The fat man immediately raised his hand, "Me!" "And me!" Pan Zi also raised his hand. Shunzi didn't know why, but suddenly there was an unquestionable temperament in his eyebrows, and he waved his hands: "The one who fired the gun stays! The others run! Keep running! Never look back!" I looked at it, counted it, oops, all of our people are left behind, so what should I do, isn't it waiting to be slaughtered with Chen Pi Asi?Busy also raised his hand: "I... I forgot, I drove too!" Ye Cheng and the others didn't know how to react at once. At this time, we heard the sound of tiles breaking from the roof of the gate hall. It seemed that many things were climbing up the tile roof of the hall. The number was unimaginable.Several people were shocked, not knowing what happened.

"It's too late, don't leave yet!" Shunzi yelled. Chen Pi Asi glanced at us, waved his hands, and said to Monk Hua, "Let's go!" The three quickly ran out of the front hall. I felt strange in my heart, but the situation was too much for me to think about. There were more and more crackling tiles above my head. The fat man threw out his bullet bag to Pan Zi. Both guns were loaded. We formed a circle and asked Shunzi: "What the hell is up there, what should we do?" Shunzi said in a deep voice, "I don't know." "Then why did you let them run?" Pan Zi rolled his eyes.

Shunzi said, "I just want you to separate from that old man, it's not my idea, it's your third uncle's order." When we heard it, we all turned our heads to look at him, what did we say, what did my third uncle order?Pan Zi asked, "Then who are you?" "Don't ask so many questions." Shunzi said, "I'll take you to see your third uncle now, and then you can ask him yourself." My whole body tensed up, and I just wanted to ask: My third uncle is also in this imperial tomb now?Suddenly there was a series of cracking sounds above our heads, and the tiles were falling like rain. We all covered our heads and looked up.In the light spot of the flashlight, countless shadows were moving, which seemed to be the same thing just now.

Shunzi waved his hands and said, "Just now when your gunshots rang out, there were voices everywhere in this dead forest, and they all surrounded here." "Then why don't we run?" Pan Zi asked nervously when he heard the dense crawling sounds around him, "Aren't we waiting to die here?" "Wait for them to go a little further." Shunzi looked behind him, Chen Pi Asi seemed to have run far away, turned to him and said, "Go!" As he said that, he patted us, and ran towards the exit of the front hall immediately. , we follow closely. Outside the gate hall, you can see the Derivative Hall of Shinto. There is a white marble 20-arch long bridge in front of it. Two coiled dragons of unknown material are hung on the bridge, winding along the railings on both sides of the bridge. There is a gap, which seems to be carved as a whole. Under the bridge is the moat of the Inner Emperor's Mausoleum. I don't know if there is water in the ground.

We had only taken a few steps when a strong wind blew up behind us, and all of us rolled away. The fat man shot back with an aimless burst. In the darkness, we heard a slight hissing. We didn't know what was hit. The lump fell into the abyss under the bridge. There is a kind of restlessness in the darkness. I vaguely feel that this kind of thing seems to be able to fly, but the flashlight frantically sweeps nothing. We got up and continued to run forward, there was a burst of overhead, as if something was hovering against our scalp, the fat man ran and shot at the sky, and soon we ran to the bridge, suddenly I felt something on my back I took it for a while and fell out all of a sudden. I turned around and got up. Before I could react, the fat man smashed the butt of a gun from my ear, and I felt something fall from my back.

Looking back, I saw only a black shadow struggling to get up.Pan Zi raised his hand and shot it in two, and then the fat man fired a few shots at the sky, the bullet's tracer flashed, and countless shadows hovered over our heads. "What the hell are these?" I gasped. "There are too many, we can't beat them all, how do we go?" Pan Zi shouted and asked Shun Zi. "Where is the third master? How do we go!" Going forward is the second hall of the Four Dragon Tower Hall. When we get there, we will inevitably meet Chen Pi Asi again. To be honest, I am under a lot of psychological pressure when they are together, and now I have the whereabouts of my third uncle. I can't wait to find him right away and ask him what the whole thing is all about.

"Your third master should be in the underground palace." Shunzi said. "Underground Palace?" Fatty put another butt of his gun, and he didn't know what to put down. "Great, it's so easy, where is the entrance to the Underground Palace?" Shunzi said, "I don't know." All of them were stunned for a moment, they looked at Shunzi, and they knew from his expression that he was not joking.The fat man scolded: "You don't know that you said to take us to see him, this imperial tomb is so big, how can we find it?" Generally speaking, the official entrance of the underground palace is the third dragon tower that enters along the Shinto path—inside the Temple of Heaven. Looking at us, the modern engineering corps will not be able to dig it for ten days and a half months, but there must be a secret entrance to the underground palace, and it should be inside the imperial mausoleum building, on the central axis.The entrance to the underground palace of the Cixi Mausoleum is in the shadow wall of the mausoleum, but there is no time to dig holes in this situation.

Shunzi was very calm, with a short body, and said to me: "Your third uncle said that this is the place where 'Xuanwu rejects corpses'. He said to tell you this, and you will naturally know where it is. Do you think about it?" impression." I was surprised to hear that "Xuanwu rejects the corpse" is a joke, that is, in the theory of Fengshui, it is the place where the worst Fengshui in the world is gathered. There is no such thing in the world.I asked, "Did he really say that? Did he say anything else?" The funeral book said: "The earth has four forces, and the air flows from all directions. Therefore, in the sand, the green dragon is on the left, the white tiger is on the right, the red bird is in the front, and the Xuanwu is in the back. Xuanwu bows his head, the red bird dances, the green dragon winds, and the white tiger bends down. If the situation is reversed, the method will be destroyed. Therefore, the tiger squatting is called carrying the corpse, the dragon crouching is called the envious master, those who do not hang down on the Xuanwu reject the corpse, and those who do not dance on the red bird fly away..."

Shunzi lowered his head and looked around, and hurriedly said, "No, your third uncle seemed to be avoiding someone at that time, so he was in a hurry. Your third uncle arranged for me to meet you in the village, take you into the mountains, and then bring you These few words." I listened, and suddenly stood still, dumbfounded.If this place is really "Xuanwu rejects the corpse", then it is not surprising that if it is buried here, the offspring will die, the wife will steal someone, and anything will happen. Wang Zanghai and Emperor Wannu have such a big enmity? According to the old man Chen Pi, the feng shui here should be extremely good, how could it be "Xuanwu rejecting corpses"?

I suddenly regretted not paying attention to these things before. If I can understand something at this time, I should be able to comprehend what it means now. Fatty also understands these things, and even knows a little bit more than me in some aspects. At this time, he was also very puzzled, and shouted: "Fart, it's impossible, where the Xuan Palace of the Imperial Tomb is, how could it be the place where 'Xuanwu refuses corpses'." Pan Zi shot again, forcing the things that were forced down, and turned around, saying: "It's not impossible, Fengshui is for people, didn't you listen to that monk? The people buried in this imperial tomb are not people." , maybe this strange pattern difference has something to do with it!"

I know that Pan Zi's words are purely out of anger. With the meager national strength of Dongxia Kingdom, all the strength and resources should have been poured into the construction of these buildings. Only King Wannu can launch such a huge project, and I don't It is believed that the last Wannu King at that time still had such prestige. The construction of this imperial mausoleum must have some religious elements. At that time, Wannu King was probably a religious idol integrating man and god. The copper fish said that the Wannu kings of all dynasties were monsters who came from the ground. I don’t think it can be understood directly. Only those two copper fishes in my life can know. But the fat man didn't buy it. Hearing what Pan Zi said, he said angrily: "Don't pretend to understand, you are not a human being. Could it be a dog? No matter what is buried in the mausoleum, according to Feng Shui Speaking of the law, you shouldn’t choose the place of ‘Defeat Cave’. Do you think that there are monsters in the coffin, so the feng shui for burying it should be reversed? No such thing! And look at the scale of this place, at least it’s at the level of a city-state , why build such a mausoleum for evildoers?" Pan Zi's business knowledge was not as rich as Fatty's, so he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to refute. Shunzi said to us: "Bosses, I don't understand what you're saying, don't talk about these dicks, what's going on? Who knows who knows, hurry up!" The fat man said: "This is not easy. Have you read the funeral scriptures? Do you know what it means: 'The earth has four forces, and the qi flows from all directions. The front is Suzaku, and the back is Xuanwu'. Xuanwu means the back. Rejecting the corpse means rejecting it." Corpse, if you reject it, it means that there is no corpse, and together, it means that there is no corpse behind, so it is clear? The corpse is in front!" As soon as I heard it, my heart said I rely on it. Is this the meaning of this sentence?Let Guo Pu (the author of the burial scriptures) hear it, before crawling out of the grave and strangling you to death. Shunzi didn't understand these things, so he really believed it, and said, "The range is too wide. If it's in front, what is it in front of? You can't find the entrance just because of this?" I told him don't listen to the fat man's nonsense, how can someone explain the burial scriptures like this, and said: "Since the third uncle didn't directly tell the location of the entrance of the Xuan Palace, it must be because you can't convey it directly. Then you can't just follow the Take his words literally. It's useless to guess like a fat man." The fat man was not convinced.Asked: "Then what eyebrows do you have?" I shook my head and said that I have no idea for the time being, and I need to think about it. The third uncle is proficient in ancient codes and ciphertexts, so he should work on that. And since he thinks I can understand, there must be his reasons, but now is obviously not the time to think . While talking, we have retreated to the end of the stone bridge.Beyond that is the square of the imperial mausoleum. In the dark, you can see two side-by-side steles at the end of the stone bridge, both of which are more than 10 meters high. One of them has been broken, and the bottom is carried by a huge black scorpion. The stele not far behind.It is a towering huge black shadow. I know that this is the "Boundary Monument of the Imperial Mausoleum". After the stele, there should be the longevity steps leading to the "Palace of Rebirth", which is the gate to the underworld. The "Boundary Monument of the Imperial Mausoleum" can be said to be the real boundary between the world and the underworld.Because the area behind the "Imperial Mausoleum Boundary Monument" was inaccessible to the mausoleum guards, hundreds of years ago, when the imperial mausoleum was closed, no one set foot in the area opposite the boundary marker. The moment I saw the stele, I suddenly had a very ominous premonition. It seemed that there was something waiting for us in the huge black shadow in front of me, in a certain corner of the inner city of the dead imperial mausoleum. At this moment, the fat man who was running in front suddenly stopped, and he opened his hands to block us all. I went up and saw that the end of the stone bridge had collapsed. Between the "Boundary Monument", there appeared an abyss about three meters wide. The flashlight illuminated it was black and misty. It seemed that there was water, but I didn't know how deep it was. "What should I do?" I looked at Pan Zi, who didn't even think about it, raised his gun and said, "What else can I do? Jump over one by one, hurry up!" When I saw the distance, I couldn't help swallowing, how much can those people in the Olympics jump, about eight meters?More than three meters is not too far, but for a person like me who does not exercise all day, it is really difficult to jump over easily. The fat man on one side had already handed over the gun to Shunzi, then he took a few steps back, took a run-up, jumped suddenly, walked through the air, and rolled down on the opposite stone ground.Sunja threw the gun to him again, and then threw the equipment on us first.Then Shunzi also jumped over, and Pan Zi wanted to give me the back seat, let me jump first, I looked at the abyss in front of me, and said in my heart that I would die, and I yelled at the fat man opposite: "Pull me to jump!" !" The fat man agreed, and I took a few steps back, collected myself, and accelerated suddenly, but unfortunately, just when I wanted to jump, Pan Zi suddenly yelled from behind: "Wait—!" At this time, I couldn't stop the car anymore, so I jumped up high and suddenly jumped to the opposite bank, and subconsciously looked back, wondering why Pan Zi called me. When I looked at it, I saw a huge black shadow swooping down from the upper left of me, grabbed my back collar in the air, caught my clothes with its claws, and pulled me to the side. The posture was out of control, and as soon as the claws were released, I turned over and fell into the abyss. For a moment, my mind went blank, and I didn't know what to do.Everything in front of me seemed to be in slow motion, watching the fat man rushing over, jumping up and trying to hold me in the air, but his hand just brushed past my collar, and then Pan Zi raised his gun and pointed it at the top of my head "Papapa" is three bursts, the bullets whizzed past, and then I fell into the darkness, and their flashlight disappeared in an instant. The process of falling was extremely fast, I spun a few times in the air, and at the same time a series of thoughts flashed through my mind, what's down here?Below is the moat.How deep is the general moat and is there water?Will I fall to my death, or be melted into a pile of bones by the sulfuric water here? Before I could think of the answers to these questions, my back hit an object that looked like an iron chain, and my whole body was almost broken. The pain made my vision blur, and then my body turned around the iron chain , fell down again, and before I could recover, I hit another iron chain. This time, because of the buffer just now, the impact was not heavy. I reached out to grab it, but it was empty, and I continued to fall . This series of impacts knocked me dizzy, and I lost the posture of curling up when I fell, and then I fell face-up on the ground, and I could hear a muffled sound from all my bones, and then My ears buzzed and I couldn't hear anything.
