There were usually traps in the empty tomb. The empty tomb under the Taoist temple they were in might have been dug up by the local people for some reason. They touched the traps in the empty tomb and thought that they were possessed, so there was a Taoist temple guarding here.
After living here for a long time, the Taoist priests would always encounter the traps under the Taoist temple and often die. There were so many strange earthen vats and Dao talismans under the Wuji Pagoda. It was probably because all the Daoists died a violent death, so they were buried in that way.
Thinking of this, Wang Ziyu said,""If there is a tomb here, it must be in the mountains. Most of the empty graves were set up outside the tomb, and their positions were unpredictable. Moreover, they would definitely be hundreds of meters deeper than these empty graves.”
Qi Tiezui looked at the vast mountain and asked,""Lord Zeng, can you find this Hidden Dragon Cave after looking for 300 years? When you left the mountain with the adjutant, did you go to see feng shui?”
Zhang Qishan shook his head and went silent.
He had brought his adjutant into the mountains to verify something. This matter was related to his background, and the adjutant was responsible for keeping watch for him.
There were many things that would only happen when he was alone. However, this time, when he went into the mountain alone, nothing happened as he had expected. However, this did not prove anything. Perhaps it was just that it was not time for them to show themselves.
Wang Ziyu saw that Zhang Qishan was silent and more or less guessed some things. Perhaps Zhang Qishan entered the mountain to find the person who might be guarding the secret of the Zhang family here.
The few of them had their own thoughts as they went down the well one by one and entered the underground space.
This time, everyone came down with torches and lit up the entire underground palace. Only then did they see the whole underground space.
The area that Wang Ziyu and Qi Tiezui couldn't see before was filled with red lines.
Wang Ziyu stretched out his hand and flicked a red string beside him. He said,"It seems that there is more than one tunnel leading to the bottom.”
Zhang Qishan waved his hand, and the members of the Zhang family who followed him put on gloves and carefully arranged the surrounding soil tanks to make a path.
The soil tanks outside were moved away, revealing a straight hole. Wang Ziyu walked to one of the entrances and said,""These burrows are all very messy and don't look like they were done by experienced people.”
Zhang Qishan came over when he heard that. He squatted down and touched the hammer marks on the hole. He said,"Yes, these burrows were indeed dug up from the bottom.”
Qi Tiezui came to the place where he had touched the earthen tank and saw that the earthen tank was broken. However, the cracks had completely dried up. It was obvious that it had been broken for a long time. The black mud-like filth in the soil tank had dried up.
He raised his head again and looked above him. He frowned and thought,'Could it be that what I saw and felt were the memories of the expert at that time? Were those two clay vats also shattered by an expert?”
"Master Eight, what are you looking at? Let's go down."
Wang Ziyu saw Qi Tiezui standing at the side in a daze and called out to him.
This time, it was the adjutant who brought the Zhang family members down first. When Wang Ziyu and the others went down, it was already bright below. At this moment, he saw that this was a huge tunnel. On the brick tunnel, he could see that every brick had a special diamond-shaped diagonal pattern.
The walls of the tomb were covered with mottled murals, all of which were portraits of various ancient people. However, the strange thing was that these ancient statues had two faces.
"Eighth Brother."
Zhang Qishan called out lightly.
Qi Tiezui immediately nodded. He raised the torch and walked to the mural. After taking a closer look, he said seriously,"Embedding molded-pattern bricks, Northern and Southern Dynasties, this is the Tibetan style of the Southern Dynasties. If my guess is correct, there is a hall in front of the tomb. In front of the hall is the mausoleum gate. The three gates are side by side and connected to the mausoleum wall on the left and right.”
"Would there be such a large mural on the corridor of the ancient tomb of the Southern Dynasty?" Wang Ziyu asked. I remember that in the Southern Dynasty, didn't they all paint on bricks? The mural on the wall…Lord Myna, are you sure it's from the Southern Dynasty?”
Qi Tiezui also shook his head as he looked at the double-faced ancient people on the wall. The wall paintings were peeling off very badly, and most of them could not be recognized, so he could not know the contents on them.
"I've done quite a bit of research on murals, and I've often copied them," said Qi Tiezui."So if it's a traditional pattern, I can still guess a thing or two. However, the murals on this long wall are really hard to recognize." The only thing I can be sure of is that these tomb bricks are indeed from the Southern Dynasty, but I can't guarantee the murals!”
"Since this is an empty tomb, let's look further ahead. Perhaps there will be more clues." Moreover, mining was done here all year round. This ancient tomb might have been discovered by miners a long time ago. These murals might have been created by miners in the later dynasties.”
"Lord Zeng, that's not right. This mural was so lifelike. Could the miners have such good craftsmanship?”
Wang Ziyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Qishan. His voice became low and slow as he said,""Since we're already here, and Lord Myna and I are here to help you, is it really okay for you to cover up and confuse the public?”
" What do you mean?!"
Zhang Qishan's tone turned cold when he heard this. He stared at Wang Ziyu coldly. When the Zhang family members saw this, they also loaded their guns and aimed at Wang Ziyu.
"Lord Zeng, I advise you to ask them to put down their guns. I don't like people pointing guns at me.”
Wang Ziyu looked around at the Zhang family members and continued,"You should know that they can't hurt me, but will lose their lives because of this. Your Zhang family is dying. You don't want all of them to die here, right?”
Zhang Qishan waved his hand to signal the Zhang clansmen who were pointing their guns at Wang Ziyu to put down their guns. He lowered his head and fell silent, as if he was making a decision.
Qi Tiezui was frightened by the situation just now. Now that he saw that the Zhang family members had put down their guns, he hurriedly asked,"What are you doing? Aren't we all friends? And Ziyu, what do you mean by that? What is Lord Zeng hiding?"
Wang Ziyu glanced at Zhang Qishan, who was still lowering his head in silence, and said,""You'll have to ask Lord Zeng what he's trying to hide.”
Zhang Qishan raised his head and said,""Ziyu, Eighth Brother, I have something I can't tell you. I'm sorry I can't tell you the truth, but you don't have to participate in the rest of the matter. When I'm done with this matter, I'll treat you guys to a drink when I return to Sand City!”
