Chapter 135: The Unsolved Mystery of the Tomb of Marquis Haihun
"So, does the old gentleman have any solution?"
Wu Liang turned around and asked with empty eyes.
"If I had a solution, I wouldn't urge the young master."
Yu Ji frowned and shook his head.
"There is no other way. Since the old gentleman said that this tomb may have turned into a murderous tomb, it will only be more detrimental to future generations. I cannot sit back and ignore it. This time, this ancestral tomb must be moved no matter what.
, the old gentleman’s painstaking efforts should be understandable, right?”
Wu Liangyi said righteously.
"this……"
Yu Ji wanted to say something more, but in the end he sighed and shook his head.
"Please don't worry, old man. I will definitely not let you blow the cool breeze outside. If we want to enter the tomb, we will go in together. The old man will still need some guidance on the feng shui and precautions inside the tomb."
Wu Liang thought for a while and said with a smile.
"No... I'm already old enough, so let's forget it. You can do whatever you want."
Yu Ji immediately declined, even wanting to turn around and run away.
"Old sir, please don't worry, I will ask someone to take good care of you."
Wu Liang noticed a strange look in Yu Ji's eyes, and then said deliberately, "Brother Dianwei, you will help the old man when entering the tomb. You must take good care of him and make sure not to make any mistakes or fall behind.
"
"yes!"
Dian Wei responded in a deep voice and stood next to Yu Ji with an evil look.
I didn't expect this bluff.
You really did swindle something out of this old man!
I saw that Yu Ji knew that he could not avoid entering the tomb with Wu Liang. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said with a bitter face: "Sir, since this tomb must be entered, can you teach me to perform a simple ritual first?"
Isn’t it too late to temporarily suppress the underworld energy in the tomb before opening the tomb?”
"Oh? Can this thing be suppressed?"
Wu Liangliang was overjoyed and immediately made a gesture of invitation, "Old sir, please come quickly!"
In fact, he was not sure whether the rituals mentioned by Yu Ji had any effect, or what effect they had, or in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't really believe in the so-called rituals at all.
But at this moment, he still couldn't do it with Jiken.
He has been restless for the past two days, always worried about the "soul-sucking problem from the Spiritual Lake". Regardless of whether Yu Ji's move has any practical effect, it can always bring him some psychological comfort.
"It's just young master. There are some things I need to explain in advance."
Unexpectedly, Yu Ji said again, "I need to use some yellow paper and cinnabar for this ritual. I have these things on my body. I won't talk about the cinnabar, but the yellow paper is an expensive and rare thing. I need the young master to pay for it."
burden."
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Yes, Wu Liang said the same thing some time ago when he changed his name for Cheng Yu to defraud money!
But now Wu Liang is really willing to spend some money to buy such a comfort, not to mention Yu Ji's performance is much more real than him, at least he was forced to do something when he heard that he had to go to the tomb together...
Just treat it as true, it’s not worth the money anyway.
Thinking like this, Wu Liang nodded happily and said: "It's easy to say, I will just add more talisman papers for the old gentleman later. No matter how many more talismans there are, there will be no problem."
“What you say is unfounded.”
Unexpectedly, Yu Ji actually questioned his ability to pay.
Little one!
If you can't come up with something really good, you really look down on me.
Wu Liang glanced at him, smiled indifferently, and then took out a cylinder from his arms that was slightly thicker than his thumb and about an inch long, threw it into Yu Ji's arms, and said proudly: "Old sir, look at you.
From the outside world, just a few scraps of paper are called rarities? I’ll show you some real rarities and give them to you!”
"This is……"
After taking the cylinder, Yu Ji looked at the thing in his hand with a look of surprise.
"You haven't seen it, have you? Honey candle! Honey candle, which is only used by the royal family, is not comparable to your few pieces of tattered paper?"
Wu Liang rolled his eyes and said, "Is that enough?"
This is the candle he made in the military tent using the "honeycomb" a few days ago. He couldn't find a suitable mold, so he used a tall bronze wine cup instead. Although the candle was slightly shorter, it still looked like
Presentable.
Now he has not just this one in his arms, but three more.
The remaining ones were temporarily placed in military tents for emergencies.
"That's enough! That's enough! The young master's move is indeed extraordinary!"
Yu Ji was immediately startled, and the hand holding the candle started to shake. He quickly took out a square cloth from his small bag, wrapped it in three layers, and carefully stuffed it into his arms.
Then when he looked at Wu Liang, the expression on his face was just "rich people, let's be friends."
He smiled and said: "The ancestral tomb of the young master's family is so large, and he carries with him a honey candle that is rare in the world. Now I am really more and more curious about the young master's identity..."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You will have a good life after following me. Now, do your rituals first."
Wu Liang laughed and said, it feels so good to be a rich man...
…
After a while, a ritual ceremony that was far less exciting than Wu Liang's "Sword Killing the Evil Jiao" was completed.
Yu Ji handed several pieces of talisman paper drawn with cinnabar and folded into a triangle shape to Wu Liang's hands, and called them "soul-calming talismans", saying that they could suppress the energy of the underworld and protect everyone when they entered the tomb.
Will not be disturbed by evil spirits.
Wu Liang believed his evil deeds.
He gave one "soul-suppressing talisman" to Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing each. As for Yu Ji, he had already kept one for himself. The people who would enter the tomb in this way had also been determined, and there were only four of them.
"Can the tomb be opened now?"
Wu Liang stuffed the "soul-calming talisman" into his arms and asked.
"Okay, but you still have to be careful and don't make too much noise."
Yu Ji nodded.
"open!"
After giving the order, the soldiers of the Hu army who had been waiting for a long time came forward together.
Using tools to pry, shovel, lift, push... it took a long time to finally move a few stone slabs blocking the door to one side.
Behind the stone slabs, two slightly faded wooden palace doors with cloud patterns painted with black and red paint were revealed.
There are only two door noses made of bronze cast near the middle of the palace gate. The image of the door noses looks like the front face of a mighty and ferocious dragon.
In the Han Dynasty, the dragon was also the first of the five auspicious animals and the exclusive symbol of the royal family.
"Master, do you want to continue driving?"
The soldiers turned around and asked.
"open!"
Wu Liang nodded.
The soldiers immediately gathered together and stood in the middle of the door, trying to push it open like a normal palace door.
Unexpectedly, my hand had just been placed on the door.
One of the palace doors had already shaken and fallen inside the tomb.
Following a loud "bang", a gust of wind suddenly whimpered out from the half-open doorway, and a strange aroma filled the air!
The scent again…
However, the aroma this time did not surprise Wu Liang, and he did not even immediately tell the soldiers to avoid it.
Because when later archaeological institutions excavated the tomb of Haihunhou, they noticed a non-toxic aroma in the tomb!
According to common sense, if an ancient tomb has been buried deep underground for thousands of years, the tomb should be filled with a damp and musty smell, but the Haihunhou Tomb is the opposite.
Not only that, the strange fragrance lasted not just for a while, but for three whole years.
