    ? Chapter Fifteen: There is a fraud in the tomb

    The tunnel behind the stone gate was pitch black, but it was bottomless. My uncle ran forward desperately with a flashlight in his hand. He didn't know how long he had been running like this. Suddenly, a faint candlelight appeared in front of him. Looking carefully, he found that the uncle had  The candles brought in by the village chief and the others were abandoned on the ground, and the village chief and others had long since disappeared.

    The candle seems to have been on the ground for a while, and the candle oil beside the candle wick has been burned to the ground. On this side, there are even a bunch of very scattered shoe prints. If you look carefully, except for me  In addition to the shoe prints that my brother and uncle just left, there are three shoe prints with different textures left, which should be left by the village chief and the others.

    only¡­¡­

    Except for the footprints of the five of us, there are no traces left by other people here, and there are no traces of fighting. Except for the footprints on the side of the candle, which are a bit messy, the footprints further forward have become very regular.  It was running away, more like seeing something near the candle. After stopping to study for a while, he regrouped and moved forward again.

    When the uncle let them in, the most important thing he ordered was the candles. Even if they found something and studied it for a while, there was no need to throw away all the candles when they left, didn't they?

    My uncle and I looked at each other, picked up the three candles, and carefully checked around the tomb passage. After confirming that there was nothing suspicious, we ran forward along the series of footprints in a tacit understanding.  What my uncle and I didn't expect was that as we were running, three confused figures suddenly appeared in front of us. It wasn't until the two of us stopped and shone the flashlight straight on them that we realized that there were people in front of us.  The three of them were the village chief and his two followers.

    At this time, they didn't even lose a single hair, not to mention being injured. Each of them held a flashlight in their hand, and they all turned their heads when they were illuminated by the light of my uncle and me.

    For a moment, the four eyes met, everyone was stunned for a few seconds, until my brother-in-law and I ran towards the front, and the village chief asked: "Why are you here?"

    The moment the village chief spoke, the uncle also asked, "Did you not encounter anything?"

    The village chief shook his head: "No."

    "Then we were outside just now, why did we hear your screams?" The uncle then asked.

    The village chief scratched his hair in embarrassment, "The candle you gave didn't have a candle holder. I didn't pay attention, and the candle oil dripped on the back of my hand, and I screamed when I was burned. We thought the candle was troublesome, so we threw the candle away."  I changed the flashlight."

    "But before I asked you to take candles, the purpose was to use candles to find the way. You just threw the candles away if you thought it was troublesome. Is it still useful to find the way?" The uncle's face was livid.

    The village head also bowed his head guilty, and replied in a voice as small as a mosquito: "I thought you gave us candles for lighting. As long as we return safely, the flashlight is the same."

    As the saying goes, don't reach out to hit the smiling face. After the village chief entered the tomb passage, he seemed to have changed.  There was no way to quarrel with the village chief like before, so I had to hold this breath in my heart and forget it.

    "In this way, the three of you will still take the lead, and Xiaowei and I will follow behind to see where the front leads. If you reach the ground you dug, you will continue to lead down." The uncle said helplessly.

    The village chief and the others nodded, not daring to slow down any longer, and continued to walk forward. Perhaps they had already walked more than half of the long tomb passage before. After a while, the five of us walked into a small ear room.

    The top of the ear chamber is an arched structure, which is covered with exquisite murals, surrounded by huge red gemstones, and the ground is paved with green bricks with lotus patterns, compared to the ones we walked just now.  Looking at the slightly crude tomb passage, it seems that only here does the tomb really have what it should look like.

    As usual, the ear chamber in the tomb is used to place funerary goods, but this ear chamber is empty except for the red gemstone inlaid on the top, and even around the circular ear chamber, there are  There are seven tomb passages leading to different regions. When I turned around, I found that the eighth door in the ear chamber was exactly the tomb passage we walked before.

    Now, not to mention me, even the village chief was a little dazed, and one of the village chief's servants was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Why why is it so strange here? We dug up the tomb  When it was time, the road was smooth, and there were not so many messy things at all."

    On the other hand, when my uncle entered this ear room, he not only raised his vigilance, but also slowed down his breathing. When he heard the words of the village chief's follower, he whispered: "This tomb is really big.  , those places you dug, tenIn all likelihood, someone else deliberately let you discover it, and dug it from there. The really powerful stuff is only now coming out.  "

    The village chief's servant, who was already terrified, felt a little unsteady when he heard my uncle's words, and asked in a stammering voice, "Iwhat are we doing now?"  Where, why are there so many doors here?"

    Uncle didn't answer in a hurry, instead he took out a clean cloth from his backpack and spread it on the floor, sat down directly in the center of the ear chamber, and then took out the soaked rice paper and  With a writing brush, while drawing a well on the paper, he replied: "The place we are now, in layman's terms, is called the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array."

    "Eight-door golden lock array?" I was stunned.

    Uncle nodded: "The eight-door golden lock formation is based on the eight-door position, astrology, terrain and other factors in Qimen Dunjia. It was used in ancient battlefields. The most famous one was the Battle of Fancheng in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.  Cao Ren fought Liu Bei with the Bagua Jinsuo Formation. After being seen through by Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang improved it according to the method of using the "Qimen Dunjia", and finally drew a complete eight-formation diagram. Unexpectedly, in this place, he could actually meet Liu Bei.  An improved model, specially designed to deal with intruders in the tomb."

    If I was surprised that my uncle knew how to read Feng Shui before, now, my uncle not only sees through the layout of the ear chamber at a glance, but also seems to understand such profound things as Qimen Dunjia very well. The more I look at it, the more I feel  I don't know him a little.

    Talking is all about talking, but the uncle's pen didn't stop at all. He quickly wrote several characters in the well drawn by him, as if in the blink of an eye, he created one for deduction  Fortune-telling game.

    Holding the semi-wet rice paper, he stood up gently, looked at the tomb passage we had walked through before, and said inscrutablely: "Shumen can't raise troops. Among the five elements, it belongs to water and is the god of water. Linli  The Nine Palaces are water and fire, water and fire are incompatible, it is really a big ominous, no wonder Xiao Wei almost lost his life in the river."

    "What do you mean?" Uncle's words were so profound that I didn't understand them at all.

    "Your horoscope is hot. The place we came in just now is the Shumen among the eight doors. The Shumen belongs to water, and water and fire are incompatible. You said that you are a live target here, so you are not human or ghost.  Who are you staring at?" The uncle replied bitterly, then turned his gaze to the village chief who was standing aside without saying a word, and asked, "Your horoscope is also hot?"

    The village chief lowered his head in embarrassment, and replied with "um".

    The uncle suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Xiumen belongs to water, not only for marriage, but also for anything related to the cloud and rain between men and women.  I got a woman who is neither human nor ghost to look at the door, and I will definitely match a male to make a pair, why have we all arrived in the ear room and haven't seen the male?"

    If my brother-in-law guessed before that the woman was not completely dead, which made me break out in a cold sweat, then now that my brother-in-law said that there is still a male with no future, I really want to die!

    But the strange thing is that when the uncle said this, he suddenly stopped talking, but his eyes kept swaying in the ear chamber, as if he wanted to find a way out among the eight paths representing the eight gates.

    For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire ear room was tense, and everyone's eyes were on my uncle, but at this moment, he quietly held my hand, which made my scalp numb in fright, and I subconsciously  I wanted to get rid of it, but I found that my uncle had quietly written four words in my palm: "Be careful of the village chief!"
