red tomb

A few people took care of themselves, ate something casually, put away their tents and other things, and continued on the road.With Du Ying leading the way and Su You in the rear, everyone was careful to avoid the same situation as in Jiangyingzi again.

But maybe the truth is there to laugh at their nervousness.They didn't encounter any strange things until they reached Heihutou.To be exact, as Su You said before, they basically didn't see any living things.Occasionally, tits would jump up and down on the branches, and they would fly away in shock.

"Damn it," Jiang Siqi muttered as he walked, "Even if there is no Xiong Xiazi, there must be a fox, right? If there is no fox, there must be a squirrel, right?"

"...Blind Xiong?" Su Yu was speechless, "Are you going to die?"

"Just think about it!" Jiang Siqi pouted, "This forest always feels too quiet!"

In fact, everyone thinks so.But except for Du Ying who was aware of it, the other three couldn't guess the correct answer if they tried their best.So now Jin Sheng listened to Jiang Siqi's complaint, and just curled his lips: "If you are lucky, you should be content, what are you still picking and choosing?"

This restored their usual rowdy atmosphere.Du Ying listened and did not comment.If he hadn't been able to confirm the situation the night after Jiangyingzi, the following second night was enough—there was a cloud of wind surrounding him from a distance, but he didn't dare to approach, it must be Su for the sake of.

This is not good news, but it is good news.

The reason it's not good news is that no one wants to deal with a ghost, even if he's just a changeling.But the reason for the good news is that, just as he had imagined before, there are ghosts, which means that they are indeed taking the ancient Qinhe road.Because there's something he hasn't said all the time, which is——

Qinhe Ancient Road has an even older name, Qinhe Ghost Road.

As the name suggests, ghosts are indispensable along the way.As far as the source is concerned, the legend of Jiangyingzi has already reflected a little bit.

The emperor who burned the half-finished palace was the first emperor of the former Qin Dynasty, the former Qin Tai | Zu, Ying Qi.Under his strategizing and decisive victory, the former Qin cavalry set out from the Heyuan area, conquered the scattered small vassal states in the northeast, southwest and southwest in more than ten years, established himself as emperor, and achieved the eternal legend——

When Ying Qi ascended the throne, he was not even 30 years old, so he could be described as a genius.

What makes this legend mysterious is that Ying Qi passed away suddenly after only three years since he ascended the throne.Even based on the average life expectancy at that time, it was very short.What's more, he is still an emperor, and his living conditions should not be bad; not to mention a long life, at least it shouldn't lower the average level, right?

There are different speculations about this in the history books of later generations. Some say that he was so hands-on that he became sick from overwork, and some say that he saw through the world of mortals and went to live in seclusion.But the only thing that is certain is that Ying Qi never married and had no children, and the throne was eventually passed on to his nephew Yuan Zong.

With the same clan but different origins, Ying Qi was the first and last emperor who was not buried in the Valley of the Former Qin Emperors.Where exactly his tomb is located is still unclear.For thousands of years, in order to find his mausoleum, interested people have flocked, which undoubtedly drove the tourism income of Heyuan area from the side.Anyway, Ying Qi's tomb has undoubtedly escaped the black hands of the tomb robbers.

If these are the backgrounds that must be known, now it is time to explain the origin of ghosts.

The former Qin family originated in the northwest and wandered outside Sisi all the year round.They used to be a sturdy herding people, but after intermarrying with the Central Plains, some people moved inland to work in agriculture, and settled on both sides of the upper reaches of the Qin River.Therefore, the Heyuan area can be regarded as a holy place for the former Qin Dynasty, where the ancestors' dragon veins must be preserved and carried forward.

At this time, the construction of ancestral halls and temples is naturally indispensable.After Ying Qi unified the world, he did not build a palace for himself, but first renovated and expanded the ancestral temple, which has already explained everything.Afterwards, the minister made repeated admonitions, and he reluctantly nodded, and personally chose a geomantic treasure land on the north side of Qinhe River, and broke ground to build Ganquan Palace as the emperor's residence.

Even so, judging by the emperor's regulations, the size of the Ganquan Palace can be called shabby.Although it is said that in the end it was actually a three-story hall structure that was unique at that time, but no one has seen it through the ages——

Because when it first showed its scale, it was burned down by the emperor's order.Relevant materials were also burned, so that few later generations can know.

And this Ganquan Palace, which has been forcibly erased from history, is the larger scorched-earth open space next to Jiangyingzi!

Originally, even if it was burned down, it is impossible for a piece of geomantic treasure land to become a place for gathering yin.But who ever thought that the groundwater system of Qinhe River was unstable, and it had been diverted many times in the past 2000 years.Therefore, the geographical location of Ganquan Palace has changed from mountain south and water north to mountain north and water south, gradually completing the transformation from yang to yin.

A very good shady place is naturally easy to gather ghosts.Jiangyingzi is barren and extremely gloomy, precisely because it is haunted by ghosts all the year round.Moreover, Ganquan Palace faces the water, and most of the people gathered are water ghosts, making it even more difficult to deal with.If it weren't for the fact that Su You and his party were very human, they would never have been able to cross Jiangyingzi safely.

In addition, even if the water ghosts have become ghosts and the ancient river has dried up, they still follow the original route of activity.As a result, the Qinhe ancient road became a ghost road.

All of the above is Du Ying's understanding.It must be said that most of it is true.The wrong part was because Du Ying didn't see those sweat spots that looked like blood.If he finds out, he will know that Ganquan Palace is not just a yin place, and those ghosts are not just as simple as water ghosts.

But the fact is that Du Ying missed those facts, which means that they reached Heihutou unknowingly.This is a small mountain with no characteristics at first glance. Only by using [-]% imagination can one see the appearance of a tiger's head from it.

"Isn't this too frankly abstract?" Su You didn't see a tiger for a long time, and was very resentful.Even if you point it out to him, you won’t recognize it. What’s the matter?

"Take out your energy in engineering drawing class, Yuzi," Jin Sheng said with a smile, "Draw three sides, and then you can get a 3D tiger head."

"Are you making fun of your Brother Su again?" Su You made a gesture to hit him.

The two of them used to complain to each other, and before Du Ying had any reaction, Jiang Siqi's brows had already jumped up. "Why do I feel that its orientation is not right?" He cleverly changed the topic, "If I read correctly, this tiger's head is facing west." He looked at Su You, "We are not going to find Qinhe Is it the source? The Saidian Snow Mountain is to the north! Even if the Qinhe River had been diverted, there wouldn’t be a [-]-degree difference in direction, would it?”
