Urban Witcher

I don't want to be a hero. Heroes start well but don't end well.

I don't want to be a hero, and all the tricks are exhausted.

I am what I am, the knight who walks in the dark, albeit alone.

In the dark tomb passage, Ye Shaoyang and Wutong walked together. On the way, they discussed the sarcophagus they saw before, the fish in the sarcophagus, and the two salamanders.

It has always been believed that the two salamanders may have lived in the underground water system at the foot of the mountain earlier. The person who repaired the tomb deliberately built a well to give them an extra exit to attack people who broke into the ancient tomb without authorization. In the previous battle, Ye Shaoyang sensed the presence of monster energy from the two salamanders. Therefore, these two salamanders must have been raised as goblins by some sorcery, with the instinct to attack outsiders on their own.

Thinking of the huge body and ferocious power of that salamander, Ye Shaoyang was actually a little scared. He had to admit that this living evil thing used to guard the tomb was much easier to use than some organs.

If both salamanders came out together at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

As for the ghost fish and the sarcophagus, Ye Shaoyang thought that the water in the sarcophagus must be connected to the underground water system, and its purpose is unknown for a while, so he can only explain it later.

"The one who left that sentence to tell future generations to be careful of newts, is it really Miao Xin's ancestor?"

"It's very possible that no matter who it is, they came in anyway, and fought against the newt, and escaped by chance."

"But why were all the secret passages open before, and only the stone gate here is locked. Then how did the people who passed by here get in, and why did they lock the door after they went out?" Indus had many questions, but The questions are all on the point.

Ye Shaoyang thought for a while, and said: "I have thought about this problem, it is very possible that the person before did not go this way, this way... I suspect that the person who repaired the tomb took it, and it is not a normal passage."

"Oh..." Although Ye Shaoyang was a little unclear, Wutong still understood a little. She doesn't know much about ancient tombs, but she does know a little bit:

In ancient times, when repairing tombs, a path for workers was left behind. Through this path, one could go directly to various positions in the tomb and carry stone objects for the construction of ancient tombs.

The reason for not taking the main road is because many places are "one-way streets". After repairs, there is no way to go out. This is also a way to guard against tomb robbers. The most important thing is that this road is for workers to walk. The road is generally in the dead corner of the entire Feng Shui, which is another road. According to Feng Shui, it is not part of the ancient tomb, so it will not damage the Feng Shui of the ancient tomb.

Generally speaking, after the ancient tomb is completed, the road will be sealed, making it impossible for people to walk. What's more, in order to prevent leaks, the owner of the tomb will kill all the people who repaired the tomb, and some directly Killed in the tomb...

Wutong looked at this empty tomb passage, thought for a while and said: "You said this is a tomb passage for workers, this is also possible, but...we have checked before, except for this stone door that cannot be opened, There are no other entrances and exits in that tomb?"

"Don't forget that well, maybe that's the only way to enter the ancient tomb."

"No way!" Wutong said in a daze, "If there is an underground river below, won't you be drowned if you enter?"

"It is to make people drown, so that they cannot enter the ancient tomb. Even if they are not drowned, if they encounter salamanders underwater, they are basically dead."

From ancient times to the present, in order to prevent the tomb from being robbed, the ancient tombs have been heavily guarded, with various organs and the like, but except for the earth's crustal movement in later generations, which caused the ancient tombs to be filled and formed a vacuum, the general ancient tombs are not fully protected. Vacuum.

Because of the so-called Feng Shui, the word "wind" means that there must be air-the coffin can be sealed, and the main tomb can be sealed, but the entire ancient tomb must have a smooth flow of air. The word "air" has an important place in the hearts of ancient Chinese people. Status, a really large ancient tomb, if there is no flowing breath at all, then the feng shui of the entire yin house will be dead, and it will not be able to protect future generations.

For air circulation, we must build the tomb passage, and finally look for underground rivers and the like to connect the breath, so that Feng Shui is alive. In this way, future generations are given an opportunity to take advantage of it. Anyone who knows the secrets of Feng Shui will naturally know where the orca is located, and then enter the ancient tomb according to these rules... However, the owner of the tomb will also bury the tomb everywhere in the tomb. Various organs to prevent future generations from intruding.

Although Ye Shaoyang is not a gold-touching captain like Sibao, he still understands these basic principles.

The two walked around the tomb, finally turned around a gourd-shaped arch, and came to a larger place:

The surrounding walls are also inlaid with glowing stones, barely illuminating the entire space.

This is a tomb with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. It is very empty. There is a huge vase in every corner of the surrounding wall. Other than that, there is only one thing in the middle of the tomb.

It was a shiny golden object, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Even when there was only cold light in the tomb, it still shone with golden luster. The top floor, covering an area of ​​at least ten square meters, looks like a pyramid, but it is layer by layer, with many exquisite carvings on it.

"What the hell is this..." Ye Shaoyang saw this kind of thing for the first time, and was a little dazed for a while.

"Mandala..." Indus muttered to himself.

"What?"

"Honestly, it is a Buddhist facility in the Buddhist kingdom of the Western Regions."

"Oh." Ye Shaoyang understood it all at once, and walked over holding the lamp, and took a photo. Under the light, the mandala looked even more resplendent.

Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but reached out and touched a corner of the mandala, and said in surprise: "Damn it, it's golden!"

"How do you know?" Indus asked quickly.

"Guess." Ye Shaoyang was very confident.

Wutong didn't bother him, but nodded and said: "Gold is also possible. The Buddha Kingdom has always used gold, silver and jewelry to make mandala."

Ye Shaoyang illuminated it with a light, and only then did he see that there were indeed many precious stones inlaid in the middle of each layer above. Most are green. After Wutong saw it, he said that it was turquoise, a specialty of the Western Regions, which further confirmed his guess.

"I said, why is there such a thing in the ancient tomb?" Ye Shaoyang asked, while looking at the carvings on the upper part of the mandala, he found that they were all Buddha-like figures, but the shapes were a bit abstract, and the images were similar to those enshrined in Han temples. no the same.

"No, these are not Tibetan Buddhas..." Indus frowned and said.
