Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Yipin Tomb

The wind, frost and winter snow, the pine wood is towering. This is the mausoleum of Emperor Xicheng of the former dynasty. The hilltop with a radius of 50 miles was trimmed by the emperor into a circular treasure roof, planted with neat pine trees, and a large-scale palace was built under the treasure roof. It is a first-class tomb.The former Emperor Xicheng was a mediocre emperor. During his reign, he did not have any achievements, but he did not make any serious mistakes. After his death, Xiling was unknown for hundreds of years, and even scholars rarely thought of coming here. Nostalgic, the emperor at that time only left an army of one hundred soldiers to guard Xicheng's spirit in Xiling, fifty miles away. Obviously, he had no sincerity, and the soldiers stationed in Xiling were also famous for drinking and making trouble.

After all, it's boring to watch a dead person who will never rise from the grave. Zhang Qingmao staggered on the snow that had fallen for four days, and walked out of the palace above ground in Xiling, carrying two wine jugs. It was so cold in winter, he lost a punch and went to drink, and bought a few catties by the way The stewed beef came back to relieve the cold.Although it was windy and snowy outside, he thought that he would be able to drink and eat meat comfortably after a while, so he cheered up and walked to Pingshan Town, twenty miles away from Xiling. It was the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and it had snowed for four days, and the snow had accumulated up to his knees. After walking for a while, he gradually started cursing. The mothers of his fellow colleagues in the palace on the ground scolded him severely, as if he was kicked down by these many people.When he cursed until he felt comfortable and got up, he suddenly saw a foot protruding from the snow.

It was a foot that looked a bit like a carrot and a bit like a tree trunk. The only reason Zhang Qingmao could recognize it was a foot was because it was still wearing pants and shoes. That foot was dressed in good black brocade, which was very obvious in the snow that Zhang Qingmao dug out of the hole. The shoe on that foot had a thin sole and a soft surface, with a faceless human head embroidered on it, only Hair and neck, really weird.Before Zhang Qingmao became a wine barrel, he spent a few years in the rivers and lakes. When he saw the shoes, he stayed for a long time, and after a while, he yelled: "The killer has no face!"

The owner of the turnip-like foot protruding from the snow is called Murong Wuyan, who is ranked twenty-eighth in the list of strangers in Jianghu, killer, age unknown, barbarian, the most sensational thing he has ever done He failed to assassinate the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, but he was able to escape from the Shaolin Temple, and no one saw his true face. 1. Fobi White Stone Fobi Baishi's foothold is behind a swamp in Qingyuan Mountain. There is a small courtyard named Baichuan, which means that the sea can accommodate all rivers, and it is big if it is tolerant.There are four or five houses in Baichuan, with green bricks and black tiles, and an inch of snow.

A man in green robes, about forty years old, looked at the courtyard with his hands behind his back. On the side opposite to the window, the courtyard was empty, except for a corner of blue bricks covered with white snow, leaving traces of what birds had landed on.The man in the green robe has thick eyebrows and stern eyes, and is tall. Standing in front of the window, he seems to stand upright. He is the head of Fobi Baishi, his surname is Ji, and his first name is Hanfo. I heard that something big happened in Yipin Tomb recently.Someone behind Ji Hanfo said that both Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang died there. I checked the history of Yipin Tomb, and since thirty years ago, a total of eleven people have disappeared there, and seven of them have good martial arts.

But Murong Wuyan is the highest.Ji Hanfo said coldly, this person's martial arts are not inferior to you and me. The person speaking behind Ji Hanfo was wearing a thick cotton coat, with a round face and fat lips. He weighed at least two hundred catties, but he was not tall. He was as round as a fat goose. It was the white goose and white river quail. Wuyan appeared in the pine forest in the snowy ground of Yipin Cemetery together with the corpse of Iron-Bone King Kong Wu Guang. Um.Ji Hanfo responded lightly, Biqiu has sent people to investigate the matter, and Yingchang will have news soon.

Baijiang Quail giggled: This kid Biqiu hasn't been out for almost ten years since the head of the door left.He was wearing a big padded jacket, but he fanned the wind with a cattail fan, just like you crippled your right hand, everyone is dead, what good is it if you make trouble with yourself? You can figure it out, so why do you have a topographic map of the East China Sea islands in your room, and then quietly send someone to look for it?Ji Hanfo said lightly. Bai Jiang Quail snorted, and changed the subject: Piqiu won't go out when he dies, most of his disciples are idiots, I happen to have something to go to Yunnan, you and the fourth brother also have something to do, and the matter of Yipinfen is a big deal , what are you going to do?

Biqiu has already entrusted the matter of Yipin Grave to Mrs. Fang.A gleam of almost invisible light flashed across Ji Hanfo's eyes. Although his people didn't go out, they still did things properly. The small eyes of the white river quail squeezed together by the fat flashed: hand over to Fang sick? Ji Hanfo nodded. Purpose?The small eyes of the white river quail are fine and bright. Ji Hanfo pondered for a while, then slowly replied: Li Lianhua. Bai Jiang quail slapped the cattail fan on the table: Li Lianhua, unknown age, unknown background, unknown appearance, debuted six years ago, is the number one genius doctor in Jianghu.There is a lotus building with auspicious patterns, it is exquisitely made, it can be dragged and walked by oxen and horses, and its medical skills are like gods. It once brought Shi Wenjue and He Lantie back to life. Recently, it cooperated with Chuhua Erqingtian to find out the murder of a ghost in Bi Chuang, and the person is unknown. what role it played in the case.

The white goose and white river quail are in charge of trivial matters in Fobi Baishili. As long as people in the Jianghu have names, he probably knows a little bit, and if they are celebrities, he knows them all. Ji Hanfo said: "This person has nothing to do with the sect master, but he paused for a moment in the Lotus Tower, and said in a deep voice, do you still remember that when you and I invaded the hinterland of the Golden Luan League, before Di Feisheng's bedroom, there was a Buddhist temple?" Church? Baijiang Quail nodded: I still remember that when we rushed in, the temple was still burning incense, but the sound of the flute was gone.

The carvings on the Buddhist hall were carved by Di Feisheng's master Golden Elephant. The golden elephant comes from Tianzhu, who is good at Buddhism and sculpture.Ji Han Buddhist Taoism, the pattern on the lotus building is very similar to that Buddhist hall, exactly the same. You and Piqiu suspect that Li Lianhua is a disciple of the Golden Luan League?Baijiang Quail thought carefully, this person is worth a try. If the Lotus Tower is really a part of the Golden Luan League, then Li Lianhua must be related to Di Feisheng.Ji Hanfo said indifferently, Di Feisheng and the sect master are both missing, if he is not dead, the sect master should be fine too.

The white river quail didn't answer, and after a long time, it took two long puffs from its fat nostrils: Who did Biqiu send to Xiling? Ge Pan. Ge Pan is Piqiu's most capable disciple, and even his ability to keep accounts and settle accounts can be regarded as the best among Fobi Baishi. Soon he was accepted as a disciple by Piqiu.The most regrettable thing in his life is that he didn't meet Li Xiangyi with his own eyes.Li Xiangyi, the head of the Sigu Sect, is famous for his handsomeness and sternness, and his Xiangyi Taijian is famous all over the world. He is cold, arrogant and withdrawn, with unparalleled wisdom.He established the Sigu Gate at the age of seventeen, and became famous all over the world at the age of eighteen. There are many talents in the Four Gate Gate. You can imagine one or two.Ge Pan often lamented that he was born too late and had never seen Li Xiangyi's demeanor with his own eyes. This trip to Yipin Grave with Fang's cooperation, Ge Pan felt a little excited about his mission. In the past ten years, he has rarely been touched by missions, but this time he went to test whether Li Lianhua was a member of the Golden Luan League. emotions lifted.He hurried on, and in the afternoon, he could arrive at the place mentioned in Fang Duo's sick letter: Xiaoyue Inn. The horse is as fast as a shooting star, passing by the mountain road. When turning the corner, some water suddenly splashed on the snow beside the mountain road, Ge Pan seemed to have tripped over something, the horse staggered and continued to run forward. 2. Where is the road Fang Duoxing sat in the inn annoyed and watched Li Lianhua walking around.This man had been walking around the room holding the son of the proprietress of Xiaoyue Inn for a long time, and as soon as he stopped, the boy cried in a wolf-like voice. This is your son? no.Li Lianhua hugged the not-so-cute boy and patted his head lightly. It's not your son, why are you coaxing him?Li Lianhua is mad at Fang Sickness. I have been sitting here for an hour. I am busy with my affairs and I have come all the way to this small place to find you. You are coaxing other people’s sons in front of me. an hour? Cuihua went out.Li Lianhua pointed out the door, she went to buy soy sauce, and her son was not taken care of There are more widows' sons in this world who are not taken care of, you might as well marry them one by one and go home!Fang Duobing's eyes widened, and he slammed his fist on the table. Let me tell you, Fobi Baishi asked Mr. Ben to do something, and the thing was related to Wu Guang and the killer Wuyan Murong Wuyan. If you don't Go investigate the murderer with me, I will kill you immediately!He looked at Li Lianhua threateningly, will you go?If you don't go, I will kill you immediately! Wu Guang will die too?Li Lianhua was startled, Murong Wuyan will die too? Even Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng will die, what are these two people?Fang Duosick looked impatiently at the child in his arms, slapped the table and shouted, how long are you going to hold someone else's son? There was a click, the sound of the door opening and closing, and a young man's embarrassing voice came from outside the door: This is Xiage Pan, a disciple of Fobi Baishimen.He was obviously startled when he heard Fang Duobing roar after opening the door, and closed the door again with a shake of his hand. Fang Duobing straightened his clothes immediately. He didn't bring the long sword he named Erya today, showing a gentle smile: cough cough, please come in, sickness below. Ge Pan pushed the door open and entered. He was wearing a silk blue shirt and thin-soled fast boots, and he smiled more kindly than young people of his age.Ge Pan met Mr. Fang and Mr. Li.He clasped his hands together to salute sickly and Li Lianhua, he was obviously taken aback when he saw Li Lianhua holding the baby in his arms, but he soon came back to his senses and pretended not to see her. How is Yipin Tomb?Fang Duobing put his hands on the armrests of the chair. When Biqiu sent me a letter, he only said that Wu Guang and Murong Wuyan died in the Yipin Tomb, and the rest of the details will be discussed in detail after you arrive. What is going on? Ge Pan clasped his hands in front of Fang Duo's table and said, "Master's information is not accurate. According to the information obtained by Uncle Goose, the upper body of the two is thin and swollen, and the lower body is swollen. There is no scar."The corpse was in a cedar forest about ten miles away from Shanggong, Yipin's cemetery. The two of them were fifteen feet apart, and they looked very strange.The person who found the body was Zhang Qingmao, originally a disciple of Shaolin, Murong Wuyan died in Xiling, although this matter has nothing to do with the guarding army, it is a major event in Jianghu.Uncle Goose has checked the information and found that this is not the first incident in Xiling. Over the past 30 years, eleven people have disappeared in Xiling, and there are many experts among them. Xiling is right behind.Fang Duobing snorted through his nose, and he will know when he goes up to have a look, but he has to wait. Ge Panqi said: What are you waiting for? Fang Duoxing snorted again: Wait for the proprietress to come back. Waiting for the lady boss to come back?Ge Pan coughed lightly, unable to understand. Fang Duoxing glared at Li Lianhua angrily, and Li Lianhua looked at him apologetically: I didn't know it would take so long for Cuihua to buy soy sauce.Since Biqiu entrusted Fang with the matter of Yipin's tomb, Fang has attached great importance to the entrustment of Buddha and Baishi, and has repeatedly warned Fang sickness to be cautious and investigate the matter in detail.And Fang Duoxing will definitely drag Li Lianhua to work together. He claims to be a smart person, so he naturally knows what kind of person is most effective at what time. Ge Pan looked up and down the quack doctor who finally spoke up after a while, and felt that it was rare for someone to put the proprietress' purchase of soy sauce as more important than investigating Murong Wuyan's death.They waited for another half an hour but did not arrive at the proprietress of Xiaoyue Inn, Sun Cuihua. In the end, Li Lianhua had to entrust the child to the old bustard in the Yihong Courtyard next door. Go to Xiling. It was already late when we boarded the Xiling Mausoleum, and there were few people around. This was a forbidden area for the royal family, and there were no more than a hundred soldiers stationed there, and ordinary people rarely set foot in the Xiling Mausoleum.The place near Xiling is full of cedar trees, almost no wild animals appear, it is a neat and clean dead place.The footprints of the three men meandered in a line in the snow, which was extremely clear. On such a snowy ground, as long as there was no heavy snow and the weather did not turn warm, the footprints would be as clear as new within a few days. There was some fire in the woods not far ahead, and before the three of them approached, they heard someone shouting loudly in the forest, saying that it was the imperial court garrison, and the idlers were urged to leave quickly.After Ge Pan revealed that he was a disciple of Fobi Baishi, several people in the forest came out holding torches and said they were disciples of Shaolin and Wudang sects, and they had been waiting for Fobi Baishi for a long time. There are five people holding torches in the forest, the fat one is Zhang Qingmao, two of the other four are also Shaolin lay disciples, and twin brothers, also surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Qinghu and Zhang Qingshi, they are very similar in appearance, It's just that Zhang Qinghu has a mole on his cheek, but Zhang Qingshi doesn't; Zhang Qinghu is good at using Shaolin eighteen sticks, and Zhang Qingshi is proficient in Arhat boxing.The other two are Wudang disciples, one is Yang Qiuyue and the other is Gu Fengxin.Several people have been guarding the corpses of Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang for several days. After all, they were born in Jianghu, and they know that these two dead people are different from other dead people. Catch up to the mountains, what's the use of the 100-man garrison then?Isn't it the only thing to kill at the neck? Three fellow brothers surnamed Zhang guarded Murong Wuyan's body, Yang Qiuyue and Gu Fengxin guarded Wu Guang's body, and they all looked happy when they saw someone waiting for them. Fang Duobing glanced at the two corpses. Although they were not fat before, they were at least strong, but now they have a strange appearance with shriveled upper body and swollen lower body. He couldn't help sighing: What happened?Poisoned or bewitched? Ge Pan glanced at Wu Guang's body quickly, and said, "It's strange, these two died of starvation?" Starved?Fang Duobing was taken aback, and he could see that the genius doctor beside him was also taken aback, how could it be possible?These two people are not poor, how can they starve to death? This is what a person who starves to death in a damp place looks like.Ge Pan said, Mr. Li should be very clear, I thought they were injured by poison, so that they were shriveled and swollen, but now it seems that they starved to death.He raised his head and looked at Li Lianhua respectfully: I don't know what I see, but is there something wrong? Li Lianhua was startled, then smiled slightly: That's right.Fang Duoxing laughed beside him, noncommittal. Strange, in this empty place, two peerless masters would starve to death. It seems that they definitely did not die here.Ge Pan felt very sleepy, looked around, walked to the edge of the woods and looked towards Xiling, unless someone trapped them in a place without drinking water, could it be Fang Duobiao interjected: "Xiling? Ge Pan nodded: within a radius of fifty miles, apart from Xiling, there is probably no other place that could attract these two masters. Li Lianhua interjected: Then how did they get here? Fang Duobing and Ge Pan were stunned. Xiling was still ten miles away. Although there were many footprints around the corpse, they were all footprints of the heavy-footed defenders of the tomb. They were definitely not left by Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang. Fang Duobing's mind was spinning quickly: Could it be that Zhang Qingmao and the others stomped on the footprints they came out of?Li Lianhua didn't seem to hear Fang Duobing's question, but looked up blankly at a fir tree beside him. Fang Duobing followed his gaze, turned his head, and suddenly realized: I understand!Since these two people did not die here, of course there would be no footprints. The reason why they were left here was because of the way out. Ge Panqi said: "The reason for the way out?"What's the point? Fang Duobing pointed to the fir tree: Look. Ge Pan stared at it, and there was a piece of snow slightly dented between the branches of the giant cedar, leaving a clear imprint: the foothold? Fang Duobiao nodded: This fir tree is between Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang's corpse, they are fifteen feet apart, this tree is at the midpoint, and Murong Wuyan is eight feet away from this tree. Ge Pan looked around, and suddenly realized: So that's how it is. Although there are many fir trees on this mountain, they are not connected. No wonder the two people are fifteen feet apart. Mr. Fang's gaze is like a torch, and Ge Pan admires it very much.A lot of cold sweat broke out on the back of Fang Duosick's neck, he gave a dry laugh, and gave Li Lianhua a look, but Li Lianhua nodded repeatedly. It turns out that the top of Xiling Mountain is covered with fir trees, but the fir forests are not continuous. Not only is there a vacant space in the fir forest itself, but there is also a section of broken belt from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, where the corpses of Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang are lying on it. In the fault zone between the clearing of the fir forest and the fir forest below.If a master wants to go down from the top of Xiling Mountain without a trace by relying on fir trees, he will have to cross nearly 20 feet of snow, and even a peerless master cannot sweep 20 feet in one fell swoop.If it were on other hilltops, one would just need to pick up stones as a stepping stone, and then one could leave at ease, but Xiling Mausoleum is the imperial mausoleum. The entire mountain has been finely manicured, and the top of the hill is covered with pebbles of the same size. If a piece is dug out to step on the foot, it will reveal the whereabouts instead.And at this time, if there happened to be two corpses by his side, someone would carry the corpses along the fir treetops, throw the two corpses in the snow, and use them as leverage, he crossed the twenty-foot snow field, and The forest on the mountainside left without leaving any traces on the snow.Just looking at the fact that this person throwing the corpses is not a big deal, one knows that he is definitely not an ordinary person, but why he would rather leave two corpses that are bound to cause an uproar than leave footprints? Fang Duobing muttered to himself: Isn't this person the murderer who killed Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang?If it's a murderer, how could it be possible to do such a thing, I know!His eyes lit up, there must be something wrong with this person's feet, he must have had a lot of low self-esteem, so no matter what he refused to leave footprints in the snow. Mr. Fang triumphantly finished his wonderful talk, but found that Li Lianhua was staring at the footprints left on the tree. Ge Pan walked over and kept looking at Murong Wuyan's body, as if no one heard him. what he said. Zhang Qingmao respected these three people like gods, and listened quietly, but Zhang Qinghu said: I have been guarding Xiling for many years, Minglou and Baocheng are full of people, even if someone is locked in Xiling Palace , It is impossible to starve to death and no one will find out.Zhang Qingshi was not good at talking, so he nodded, but kept looking at Ge Pan.Fang Duobing and Zhang Qingshi looked at each other, vaguely felt that there seemed to be something strange, but couldn't figure it out for a moment. What if it is in the underground palace?Yang Qiuyue asked coldly, don't forget, although Emperor Xicheng's posthumous decree that the burial should be simple, but since this is an imperial mausoleum, maybe there is really some treasure underground, it is worth Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang to come here to find treasure.There are also many legends here, such as the elixir of Guanyin's weeping tears, the jade seal that passed on the throne, and all kinds of legends that should have in the imperial tomb.This person has a gentle appearance, and he speaks with a sinister air. Fang Duobing dislikes it at first sight. But we have been in Xiling for more than three years, and we have never found the entrance to the underground palace.Gu Fengxin said, if someone really found the entrance of the underground palace and brought the corpse out, wouldn't the entrance be too big?Where will it be? According to historical records, the entrance to the imperial mausoleum is usually in a corner of Minglou.Ge Pandao, why don't we go to Xiling and look for it separately?Li Lianhua glanced at him, and Ge Pan coughed lightly: "Does Mr. Li have any other opinions?" Li Lianhua groaned, with a look of embarrassment on her face: I'm afraid of ghosts. Ge Pan was stunned again, and Fang Duoxing couldn't help laughing: "A peerless genius doctor who is afraid of ghosts at night, hahahaha, hahahaha Ge Pan sighed: Since Mr. is afraid of ghosts, let's look for them tomorrow morning. 3. The third dead man That night, Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing and Ge Pan stayed in Xiling.Zhang Qingmao was a moderate leader in the Hundred-Men Army, and that night he hosted three people who lived on both sides of his room, Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua lived on his right side, and Ge Pan lived on the left side.Zhang Shumao's opponent is the Zhang brothers, Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua's opponent is Yang Qiuyue, and Ge Pan's opponent is Gu Fengxin.This treasure city of Minglou should not be inhabited by people, if the previous dynasty sent troops to station, they must live in Xunshanpu outside the mausoleum, but the garrison of hundreds of people lived in Minglou for the sake of convenience.It's cold and cold, they don't patrol the mountains, they drink and gamble in Xiling all day long, and those who lose money go out to buy wine and meat, but they are very happy. Snow filled the city, and the stars and the moon were dim.This night Fang was so sick that he could barely sleep, except for Zhang Qingmao's snoring, the surroundings were strangely silent, the snow light outside the window passed through the window of the room on the left, and then reflected into the room on the right, making people feel uncomfortable all over, like Every hair on the top and bottom can be counted clearly, but Li Lianhua has already slept peacefully, and she doesn't even glance at him from the corner of her eyes. I don't know why, Fang Sickness always felt a vague uneasiness in his heart this night. This feeling was felt when he saw Zhang Qingshi, but he clearly didn't know this person, why did he have this uneasiness? After a sleepless night, when it was almost dawn, he suddenly heard someone rushing into Zhang Qingmao's room, and said in a panic: Commander Zhang, Zhang Qingshi Zhang Qingshi was killed, his head is gone, has anyone seen Zhang Qingshi? It was Yang Qiuyue who first reported that Zhang Qingshi had been killed.Fang Duobiao jumped up from the bed, Li Lianhua also sat up from the bed, the two looked at each other, Zhang Qingshi is dead? Zhang Qingshi died very strangely. When Zhang Qingmao put on his clothes and came to Zhang Qinghu and Zhang Qingshi's room, he saw Zhang Qingshi sitting on the bedside in plain clothes.The weather was cold, and the blood had turned into ice, firmly frozen on Zhang Qingshi's body, bright in color.And a headless blood corpse sitting in front of the clean white powder wall is really shocking.According to Zhang Qinghu, he gambled in Yang Qiuyue's room last night, and when he came back early in the morning, he found his brother dead.Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua had been in Zhang Qingshi's room for a long time. Except for his head being chopped off, Zhang Qingshi had no injuries on his body.Li Lianhua was still looking at Zhang Qingshi in a daze with a dazed face, while Fang Duoshang was full of irritability. Obviously, this incident was beyond his expectations. Why did someone kill Zhang Qingshi?What's the relationship between him and Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang starving to death? Strange, why did someone kill Zhang Qingshi?Ge Pan muttered to himself, could it be that he has something to do with Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang? Fang sickly nodded: he probably knew the entrance to the underground palace. Grappenche said: If he did know something, why didn't he say it? Fang Duobing said: If he brought those two people into the underground palace and killed them, of course he would not say anything. Ge Pan frowned: Then why did he die?This proves that he is not the only one involved in this matter, because today we are going to search the entrance of the underground palace, someone killed him at night to silence him. Fang Duobing sighed and said: That means the murderer must be nearby, maybe between the guarding army and the three of us. There are no footprints outside.Li Lianhua interjected. Ge Pan Yilin: That means no one else came in last night No.Li Lianhua said blankly, that can only mean that there is another person who may have killed Zhang Qingshi, that is, the person who left the two corpses in the woods and went down the mountain from the platform of Ling Enmen across the woods Before he could finish a sentence, Fang Duobing and Ge Pan were startled, and they asked in unison: "Ling'enmen platform?" Li Lianhua said in a daze: That's right. Behind the Lingen Gate is the glass screen wall, and behind the glass screen wall is the Minglou. People live in the Minglou all the time. Next to the Lingen Gate is the kitchen. There are people walking around this area on weekdays, so this area There is snow plowing and there will be no footprints.That kitchen is empty at night, there is a fir forest outside the platform, and there is no other place Fang Duobing slapped him on the shoulder with a slap, and praised: Good guy, it makes sense!It seems that the entrance to the underground palace is near the Ling En Gate! But Li Lianhua still shook her head full of confusion: No, if the person who brought the corpse out of the underground palace killed Zhang Qingshi, how did he know that we were looking for the entrance of the underground palace this morning, and then killed Zhang Qingshi at night? Fang Duosis was taken aback: that is to say Ge Pan blurted out: That is to say, the murderer who killed Zhang Qingshi was among the few people who heard in the grove last night that we were looking for the entrance of the underground palace today! It was said that both Yang Qiuyue and Zhang Qinghu's faces were pale, and there were no more than eight people in the grove last night: Brother Zhang Qinghu, Yang Qiuyue, Gu Fengxin, Zhang Qingmao, Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing, and Ge Pan.One of the remaining seven people is the murderer, who is it?And why cut off Zhang Qingshi's head? All the mysteries can only be solved after entering the underground palace of Xiling. What secrets are hidden in this royal tomb that has been silent for hundreds of years, which can make two peerless masters starve to death in the tomb, and make a guard guard in the tomb? Lost your great boss in the middle of the night? Zhang Qingmao immediately summoned the few people who were guarding the corpse in the woods last night, and followed Li Lianhua and the other three to the platform of Ling'en Gate. Across several majestic stone pillars and stone gates, there are two beautifully carved stone carvings surrounded by auspicious clouds in the Ling'en Gate of Xiling.The seven people began to search for the entrance of the underground palace. The people who had no respect for the former emperor held swords and tapped on the reliefs everywhere, and the sound of ding dong was endless. lotus.Fang Duoxing pulled Li Lianhua aside, and said quietly: Tell me who is more suspicious, and I will keep a close eye on him. Li Lianhua smiled and said: Ah, I don’t know either. Before he finished his sentence, Fang Duosick glanced at him sideways: Your parrot seems to be still at my house. Li Lianhua paused for a moment and then frowned: Do you suddenly like eating parrot meat? Fang Duoxing grinned and said: If you don't know, maybe I will suddenly like it very much. Li Lianhua sighed: Mr. Fang, it's really embarrassing to hold a small parrot hostage. He lowered his voice, and a smile appeared on his lips. Have you noticed that in Zhang Qingshi's room, except for him , no blood anywhere else? Fang Duobing thought for a while: Well, so what?Are you going to say he didn't die there? Li Lianhua said: Did you notice the blood on his body?It was soaked down layer by layer, not spewed out, and the wall was clean without any trace. Fang sickly frowned: What do you want to say? Li Lianhua said: I want to say that he was beheaded before he died, not because of beheading. Fang Duobing was taken aback: It's fine to kill someone and silence him, as long as the person is dead, why bother to kill someone and then behead him? Li Lianhua smiled slightly: Killing people can be said to silence people, but beheading is not the case. Anyway, if he was beheaded alive, he would sit on the bed, and the white wall behind the bed would not be without the slightest trace.You and I know very well that when someone is cut with a sword, if the wound bleeds immediately, the blood will adhere to the weapon to some extent. When you cut down with force, the greater the force and the faster the speed, the blood will splash out along the direction of the force. The traces are clearer.There was no trace in his room. It can only be said that the person who beheaded him did it when his blood was about to coagulate, so the wound did not bleed immediately when the sword parted the flesh. Fang sickly asked: How do you know that he must have been hacked in the room?Maybe he was beheaded outside. Li Lianhua sighed: If his head was beheaded outside, the blood on his body would not be like this. The blood came out not long after his head was beheaded. It was touched by someone, so it soaked through the clothes layer by layer, instead of flowing into a line quickly, and it didn't get splashed. Fang Duoxing is still rebutting: he may still have died outside Li Lianhua sighed again, as if he felt a little helpless: I only said that he died first before being beheaded in the room. When did I say that he must have died in the room?don't mess around Fang Duobing snorted: Even if his head was beheaded after he died, so what? That means that Zhang Qingshi was killed twice. Either the murderer was the same person, and the purpose of the murder was to behead him.Li Lianhua said slowly, the interesting thing is not killing people, but beheading. Fang sickly startled: beheaded? Li Lianhua smiled and said: "The head is a very strange thing, it will reveal many secrets, whether it is alive or dead. Fang Duoxing was incomparably surprised: Huh?What's the meaning? Li Lianhua whispered in his ear: Beheading, for example beheading a girl, you don't know who it is. Fang Duobing was taken aback by his sudden whisper: Wow raised his head and slammed into Li Lianhua's head.The people who were looking for the entrance suddenly turned their heads, Li Lianhua was apologetic, and Fang Duobing punched him hard. The road is over there, don't hit me.Li Lianhua was obsequious and innocent. Ge Pan had always paid attention to Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua, and couldn't help asking at this moment: What are you two talking about?Have you found the entrance to the dungeon? Li Lianhua said: Xiao Fang said he found it. Fang Duoxing was taken aback again: What? Li Lianhua stared at him blankly, and asked in confusion: Didn't you mean behind the glass screen wall? Fang Duoxing scratched his hair vigorously: oh Li Lianhua continued to be stupefied and said, "It's you who said that the imperial mausoleum, the underground palace and tunnels are all on the center line of the tomb, and many of the entrances are behind the glazed screen wall." Fang Duoxing nodded again and again: That's right, it's exactly what I said. Ge Pan immediately strode towards the glazed screen wall outside Lingen Gate. The patterns painted on the glazed screen wall of Xiling Mausoleum are slightly different. Generally, the painted glazed screen wall is painted with dragon and phoenix patterns, which protect the life and spirit with gods and beasts. However, the painted glazed screen wall of Emperor Xicheng has extremely complicated patterns, which have been recognized by everyone for a long time. , recognized two carp with dragon heads and wings, playing around the lotus.This is a picture of a carp transforming into a dragon. Logically speaking, this kind of pattern would never appear in royal ornaments, but it is indeed very strange that it is actually painted on the tomb of an emperor who has reigned for more than 30 years. Ge Pan stroked the glazed screen wall for a while, and tapped lightly with the tip of his sword, there was no difference everywhere: Although it is a bit strange here, where is the entrance? The entrance to Yipin Tomb must not have been dug out.Zhang Qingmao suddenly said, I have been here for more than three years, there are people coming and going here in Liuli Yingbi, absolutely no one has dug anything here, and I have never seen the dug mound. Fang Duoxing's eyes lit up: So there is an agency? Ge Pan muttered to himself: There are organs, but the back of every brick here is solid. Where is the entrance?He looked around for a long time, and said, there is no protrusion here that can be pulled and pulled. Where is the mechanism hidden? Fang Duobing glanced at Li Lianhua sideways, thinking that since he said he found it, he wouldn't lie to him, would he?But it's common for this person to deceive people, so it's strange if he doesn't!Oh no, he said that I found it. If I didn't find it, wouldn't I lose face?Just when Fang Duoxing was feeling resentful in his heart, his knees suddenly went numb, something bumped into the Xuehai point on the side of his knees, and he lay down on the ground with a thud, everyone was startled: Mr. Fang? Fang Duoxing was lying on the ground with his chin pressed against the floor and looking forward, he suddenly saw a strange phenomenon. At this time, the sun was rising, and the light was abundant. He saw that from the tip of his nose to the bottom of the glazed screen wall, all the sand on the ground was big and stuck in front, close to the edge of the gap on his side. There is almost no sand, sand is mostly accumulated on the edge of the gap near the screen wall, and some tiny gravel and dust are scattered under the screen wall.He took a step back, and the ground was still like this, and he took another step back, until he retreated to the threshold of the back room of the Ling En Gate, and only then did he see the irregular small sand. Commander Zhang, how many days is the snow here swept? As long as there is no snow, most of the places are not cleaned, and few people come here.Zhang Qingmao said, anyway, this place is for ghosts, not for humans. Fang Duobing patted the dust and got up from the ground: Does that mean you haven't swept it recently? No, the snow fell more than half a month ago, and it has not melted, and it has not been swept for more than half a month. So Fang Duobing snorted from his nose, and the entrance is here. ah, where?Li Lianhua looked at him in surprise, making Fang Duobing want to stuff his mouth with a big piece of cloth. His Xuehai acupoint was numb to death by something bounced by Li Lianhua, but he had to cough and explained: The sand and stones on the ground are rolling towards the direction of the glass screen wall, if it is not for the sweeper Deliberately sweeping all the sand and stones under the glass screen wall means that the whole ground has been erected or lifted up, otherwise the sand and stones on the ground will not slide down in the same direction.Can anyone pull this floor up?I guess the following is the entrance to the underground palace. Ge Pan nodded again and again: It makes sense, but the ground is so heavy, how to pull it up? Fang Sickness was at a loss for words, and he paused for a while, feeling a little annoyed: Those who are good at martial arts can naturally pull with their hands. Ge Pan frowned: At least one must have natural supernatural power, or have practiced a foreigner's kung fu. Wu Guang, the iron-bone king, must be able to do it, but neither you nor I can do it. Zhang Qingmao said suddenly: "Speaking of strength, the brothers of the Zhang family were born in Shaolin horizontal Kung Fu practice, and they can lift a thousand catties with both hands. I wonder if it will come in handy?" Both Ge Pan and Fang Duoxing were surprised, they couldn't see that Zhang Qinghu was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with a sad face, but he was born with supernatural power? Zhang Qinghu nodded, then took out a steel hook from his body, hooked it to a thin stone gap between the steps of Lingen Gate and the ground, and exhaled suddenly, ha!一聲大叫，那地面咯吱作響，冒起一股煙塵，竟被他勾得晃動一下，那鋼勾隨即被巨力扭曲得不成樣子，葛潘及時將自己長劍劍鞘遞過去，方多病從袖中遞出短棍，兩人的兵器雙雙卡在張慶虎勾起的那條石縫中，大家紛紛動手，將自己的兵器抵在縫隙上，齊心協力。張慶虎丟去鋼勾換了方多病的短棍，一聲狂喊，猛力一撬，雙手拚力上舉開！ 那地面突然無聲無息向上抬起了約三尺之高，粉塵沙石咯吱四下滾落，大多掉入了底下黑暗的洞口裡，也有部分滾落到琉璃影壁之下。在地面抬起之時，楊秋嶽、古風辛、張慶虎三人似乎都受到入口裡面什麼暗器襲擊，紛紛躍開相避，落地之後，入口已經完全開啟，再無暗器射出。 大家的兵器都在石板的重力下壓得不成樣子，只有方多病的短棍還完好如新。張慶虎恭恭敬敬地把短棍還給方多病：好兵器。 方多病笑嘻嘻地收入袖裡，往那洞口一探頭，咋舌：好大一個洞。 那入口上方蓋的石板也足足有一尺來厚，方圓五丈左右，決計不只千斤，大家對張慶虎的臂力都是凜然生畏，少林弟子，果然有獨到之處。 四、熙陵地宮 七人圍著黑漆漆的入口看了一陣，那入口底下微微有風吹來，卻是暖的，也並沒有什麼塵封多年的氣味。 葛潘興奮地道：看來底下另有通風口，熙陵果然藏有隱秘。 一般皇陵唯恐封閉不全，怎會留有通風口？大家都有些奇怪，張青茅叫人帶了些火把過來，守住洞口，葛潘手持火把當先一躍，對著那漆黑的入口跳了下去。 火光就在底下不遠處亮了起來，那洞底離上面並不遠，落差莫約只有兩丈，其餘六人一一走進通道裡，那石板若非天生神力也扳它不動，倒不怕有人悄悄扣上。 七人手持火把，那通道四壁被火焰照亮之後大家都覺驚奇：那是一條雕琢十分精細、以石板砌成的通道，四壁上刻滿了文字，並非漢字，線條纖細優美。在通道頂上還繪有西天諸佛、菩薩、羅漢，的確是有些陵墓的樣子。 但如果熙陵只是熙成皇帝及其妃子安息之地，為何會留下一條隧道與外界相通？慕容無顏和吳廣真是死在這地下陵墓之中？為何他們能輕易找到入口？大家沿著那刻滿文字的通道往前走，心裡各自胡思亂想，一路上竟寂靜無聲。 蓮花。在寂靜了好一會兒以後，方多病問，這牆上寫的什麼？怎麼沒完沒了的？ 這牆上寫的梵文，是在說一個故事。李蓮花啊了一聲，有點心不在焉，在說兒子的故事。 兒子的故事？方多病奇道，什麼兒子的故事？ 隧道裡靜悄悄的，大家對著無邊無際的隧道心思更加猜疑緊張，何況身邊還潛伏著殺害張慶獅的兇手，因此不知不覺都集中注意力去聽兩人的談話，以免自己更加浮躁。 只聽李蓮花心不在焉地道：這是《妙法蓮華經》第五卷《如來壽爐品》裡，如來說的一個故事，叫做醫子喻。如來說有一個神醫，醫術很高明，他生了許多兒子，有一天這位神醫有事出門遠遊，他的兒子們在家裡誤服了毒藥，都非常痛苦。神醫回來以後，看見兒子們很痛苦，立刻配了靈藥給兒子們吃。平時孝順他的兒子相信這是靈藥，平時不孝順他的兒子卻懷疑是毒藥。相信是靈藥的兒子吃下以後便沒事了，但不相信的兒子卻始終不肯吃，寧願在床上痛苦呻吟，只當父親要害死他們。這位神醫沒有責怪不孝的兒子，他留下信件說，我年紀大了，差不多要死了，我的靈藥都放往家裡，你們如果需要可以拿去吃。然後神醫就去了遠方，託人帶信回來說他已經死了。那些害怕父親要毒死他們的兒子們想到父親已死，懷念父親的慈愛，又想到他不會知道究竟是誰去拿藥，藥應該不會是假的，便領了靈藥來吃，身體就好了，後來神醫歸來，不孝的兒子們才大徹大悟，發現原來自己有多麼愚蠢。李蓮花漫不經心地說，如來問弟子，這位神醫有沒有犯虛妄罪？眾弟子說沒有。 方多病聽得昏昏欲睡：熙成皇帝居然把這種故事當作寶貝一樣刻在牆上，果然是老糊塗了。 葛潘突然插口：修築皇陵是歷朝大事，他把故事刻在這裡定然有其用意，只是我們一時無法參悟罷了。 話正說到這裡，轉過一個彎道，隧道的盡頭，出現了一面對扣的石門。 火光照映之下，眾人清晰地看到那石門由一種白色石頭雕成，上刻四角海浪，兩條盤龍在大浪中爭奪一朵未開的蓮花。石門雙扇，中縫在蓮花之上，左右各是一條龍。 葛潘暗忖：據史書紀載，凡是陵墓石門，其後必有自來石或是石球頂住門後，以使大門能出不能進，這石門門縫嚴密得插不進一根頭髮，要打開此門，只怕非三五個如張慶虎那般氣力的莽漢不可，正在他思考之際，張青茅雙手一推，那扇石門竟然無聲無息地向後滑動，開了。 眾人為之一愕，葛潘往裡擲進一支火把，裡面仍是一段隧道，石門之後果然另有巨大石球，只是早已被人震碎大半，傾塌在一旁，眾人魚貫而入，經過那堆碎石都不禁有些心驚：第一個開門之人不知是以何等方法打開石門，又是如何震碎道半人高的巨石？如果當真是以內力傳入，用隔山打牛之法隔著石門震碎石球，那人的武功委實無法想像。石門之後的隧道漸漸往下傾斜，石壁之上依然刻著文字，此外隔不多遠，石壁上就留有空槽和孔洞，有些微風從孔洞吹入，這裡的空氣反而比前面好。沒走多遠，前面再度出現一扇石門，這門上卻繪著面貌猙獰的鬼怪，門前也堆著一堆碎石，大家滿腹疑團，越過這道石門，沒走出十丈，前面又一道石門。 這一道石門卻是黃金鑲嵌，門上以金銀絲線鏤成了一尊觀音，觀音慈眉善目，坐蓮持柳，讓人見了頓生祥和之感。張青茅用力去推，卻是再也推不開了，換張慶虎去推，也是推之不開，僅是微微晃動。 葛潘仰頭張望了一下：看來慕容無顏和吳廣，便是葬身此處。 張青茅頓時毛骨悚然：何以見得？ 葛潘高舉火把，在牆邊一照，石牆原本刻滿梵文，在此處卻多了許多兵器砍鑿的痕跡，地上也有很多鑿痕，一柄扭曲得不成樣子的長劍遺落在地上，劍尖沿著牆角硬生生插入石縫之間。 只怕他們進來的時候之前那兩扇門本是打開的，等他們聚在這扇門前商量開門之法時，有人在身後關上那扇鬼門。隧道往下傾斜，如果鬼門本是開著的，門邊頂著那石球，門關上的時候球就會滑過來頂住門後，就算吳廣和慕容無顏有天大的本事也出不來。 張青茅認真看了看身後那扇繪有鬼怪的石門，一股寒意自背脊升起，這時只聽方多病接了一句：其實也不需怎麼用力，只要把門稍微推動一下，那石球就會自己把門壓上，而且這石球相當大，它壓著兩扇石門下滑，那種力道只怕是無人能擋，如果還在黑暗之中，要及時找到空隙逃生絕不容易。 這裡有張羊皮。李蓮花從地上拾起一物，羊皮上有地圖，地圖上有他困惑地看著那張圖，觀音？他指指面前的石門，指的是這幅觀音像嗎？ 方多病湊過去一看：我這裡也撿到一張，畫的和你這張差不多。 楊秋嶽也拾起一物：這裡還有一張啊他手裡的火光突然照到觀音門底下有一堆東西，羊皮覆蓋著一具已經變得漆黑的骸骨，這裡有個死人！ 大家的目光齊齊聚在門下，各自高舉火把四處細看，才發覺地上其實零散著許多骨頭，大多數都被敲碎散落於泥濘之中，以至於一開始眾人並未注意，大部分的骨頭都給拆散得七零八落，難以合併。而地上散落的羊皮地圖並非只有一張兩張，居然有十一張之多。看著這細碎的滿地骸骨，方多病突然打了個冷戰：這些骨頭難道是是因為 李蓮花從地上拿起一枚碎骨細看，輕輕嘆了口氣：沒錯，這骨頭上還有兵器劃過的痕跡，這些人是被人當作食物生吃了，骨頭才會被弄成這般模樣，想必多年以前，道群人和咱們一樣進入陵墓，卻被人關了起來，相互毆鬥，強者以弱者為食，但最後也不免落得一死。他說這話的時候微帶憐憫，眾人卻聽得毛骨悚然，各自牢牢握住了兵器。 這些地圖指示了地宮的入口，只不過熙陵之中究竟有什麼異寶，值得人甘冒奇險，定要闖入熙成皇帝的陵墓？李蓮花喃喃地道。 葛潘目光炯炯的盯著那觀音金門：不打開此門，不能明白真相。 說到熙成皇帝。聽了吃人慘事之後已經在瑟瑟發抖的張青茅顫聲道，我聽說這墓裡是有一件寶物，是一瓶西南藩國進貢的藥丸，那玩意能治百病，而且還能提高練武人的功力，我聽說聽說熙成把百粒那樣的藥丸煉成了一粒，叫做觀音垂淚。 方多病和李蓮花面面相覷，看來這滿地屍骨，都是為了觀音垂淚而來，果然稀世珍寶往往害人不淺，東西還不知道有沒有，就已葬送了十一條人命。 殺手無顏和吳廣顯然是收到羊皮，受到誘惑而來。楊秋嶽道，這些人都收到一模一樣的羊皮，都一起餓死在這扇門前，十一張羊皮地圖背後，定有主謀。 方多病雖然不喜歡楊秋嶽，此話卻是有理，接著說道：近三十年來，有十一人失蹤，這裡有十一張羊皮，看來真的都死在這裡。如果背後另有主謀，這主謀也已經謀劃將近三十年了。 葛潘點了點頭：三十年的圖謀，自是大事。 方多病又道：還有一件事我覺得很奇怪，我們進來得很順利 眾人都有同感，張慶虎突然沉聲道：開道！ 方多病連連點頭，大力拍在張慶虎肩上，沒錯，本公子正是覺得，這幕後主謀必是經過精心策劃，挑選他認為合適的開道人才，將他們引入地宮，這地道裡的機關暗器，什麼陷阱毒藥，都被地上這些傢伙收拾去了，我們才進來得如此容易。只是最後這道觀音門始終無法攻破，即使是力大無窮的鐵骨金剛吳廣和在少林寺全身而退的殺手無顏，在斷了後路的情況下竟然也無法打開這道門逃生。 定要打開觀音門，否則無法揭開其中的秘密。葛潘輕嘆了一聲。 李蓮花的目光卻在眾人臉上轉來轉去，方多病皺起眉頭：你想說什麼？ 李蓮花輕咳了一聲，怔怔地道：我在想在打開門之前，是不是先說清楚，那個殺死張慶虎的兇手 剎那之間，隧道裡鴉雀無聲，眾人都以極度驚奇和錯愕的目光看著他，方多病只當自己聽錯了：什麼什麼什麼？What did you say?殺死張慶虎的兇手？ 李蓮花歉然地看著張慶虎：那個雖然你砍了他的頭，在臉上貼了顆痣，但是半路上掉了 眾人的視線頓時齊齊集中在張慶虎臉上，張慶虎本能地伸手一摸，他在撬起石板的時候已經滿身大汗，這地下又潮濕溫暖，方才剛推了石門，臉頰流汗未乾，被李蓮花慢吞吞一說，心下甚是緊張，用力過猛，竟把那顆黑痣從臉上抹了下來。眾人哎呀一聲，這人果然是被殺的張慶獅，而不是張慶虎。 方多病心裡暗罵李蓮花又騙得人暈頭轉向，嘴裡卻一本正經地道，你究竟是張慶獅、還是張慶虎？ 慶獅，你你沒死？死的是慶虎？哎呀我糊塗了張青茅驚愕之極，你們兄弟到底是怎麼回事？慶虎怎麼被殺了？你幹什麼假冒慶虎？ 突然間，他陡然雙目大睜，難道是你殺了慶虎？ 李蓮花小心翼翼地的看著張慶獅，眼角撇了撇，小心翼翼地看了楊秋嶽一眼：其實 楊秋嶽口齒一動，彷彿想說什麼，正在這時，突然微風驟起，張青茅發出一聲慘叫，眾人大吃一驚，陡然眼前六把火把同時熄滅，耳邊只聞劈啪、咕咚一連中肢體相撞和撲跌之聲，隨即陷入一片死寂，方多病在黑暗中大喝一聲：哪裡逃！隨即有人往外奔逃，很快便遠去了。 一團火光在上方徐徐亮起，李蓮花不知何時已經躲到隧道頂上，拿著火摺子，小心翼翼地往下看，方多病臉色一變，他剛才在黑暗中與人交手三招，招式繁複，簡直想不通兇手如何身外化身，竟一掌劈死了張慶獅！ 我沒想到他如此辣手，慶獅他還是葛潘嘆息道，只見方才還活生生的張慶獅，轉眼之間已經頭骨碎裂，一聲不吭當場斃命，歪坐在一邊，因為頭骨碎裂牽動肌肉，嘴邊似乎還流露出一絲詭異的笑意。在這潮濕可怖，漆黑一片，滿地人骨的陵墓之中，更加令人毛骨悚然。躲在頭頂的李蓮花臉色有些白。 方多病看著張慶獅的死狀道：好厲害的一掌。 那邊葛潘已經奔過去扶起張青茅，張青茅被一枚飛鏢射中手臂，傷了條筋，並無性命之憂，只是他呆呆看著張慶獅的屍體，神不守舍，雙目之中流露著極度恐懼之色。 逃走的人是古風辛，張慶獅死了，張青茅受傷，只餘下楊秋嶽滿臉蒼白，雙手緊握拳頭站在一旁。 葛潘淡淡地道：事情已經很清楚，殺死張氏兄弟的人，不是古風辛，便是你。 楊秋嶽驀然抬頭，一雙眼睛死死地盯著葛潘，卻不說一個字。 只聽葛潘緩緩地道：而二人之中，你的嫌疑最大。古風辛不是傻子，他一逃，便是自認兇手，真正的兇手既然敢誘殺手無顏和吳廣入伏，敢殺張氏兄弟二人，絕非尋常之輩，豈會如此愚蠢 楊秋嶽退了一步，看了方多病一眼，方多病已然糊塗了，聽葛潘之言，顯然很有道理，看看楊秋嶽，再看看張青茅，眉頭大皺。 葛潘冷冷地看著楊秋嶽：而你，讓我試一下便知你有沒有殺張氏兄弟的功力。他一掌拍向楊秋嶽胸口，楊秋嶽橫臂招架，葛潘立掌切他脈門，楊秋嶽逼於無奈，一指點出，指風破空，方多病臉色微變。葛潘陡然收手：原來是武當白木道長高徒，難怪武當白木道長以快劍、指法和掌功聞名江湖，楊秋嶽這一指確是白木看家本領蒼狗指。 楊秋嶽深吸一口氣，冷冷地道：我不知這是誰殺了張慶獅，也不知這是誰殺了張慶虎，總之，此事與我全無關係。 方多病嘆了口氣：武當白木的弟子，為什麼大老遠的跑到熙陵來守墳？It's really weird.楊秋嶽閉嘴不答，這人陰氣沉沉，雖然臉色青白之極，卻是不願多說。 那麼李蓮花在頭頂上小心翼翼地問，兇手已經抓到了？ 葛潘恭敬地對李蓮花和方多病抱拳：應當不錯。 方多病瞟了李蓮花一眼，嘴裡隨聲附和：啊啊，佛彼白石的弟子果然名不虛傳，料事如神，本公子十分欽佩。心裡卻在大罵，死蓮花，你知道死的不是張慶獅，張慶獅扮成張慶虎定有苦衷，必定是有人非殺他不可。你明知如此，居然還當場拆穿，這下人多死了一個，兇手也不知道是誰，你高興了？楊秋嶽一定是懷有鬼胎，古風辛莫名其妙地跑掉了，本公子又怎麼知道張青茅沒有嫌疑？他心裡正兀自破口大罵，李蓮花卻在上面摸索了一下觀音門門頂上方的石壁，這裡好像裂了一條縫他本是依靠牆上那些被砍鑿的凹痕爬上去的，雙手一摸那石壁，身子一晃，差點掉了下來，只得手足並用慢慢爬下來。 那上面有他一句話沒說完，葛潘陡然欺到楊秋嶽面前，一拍肩封了他的穴道。 方公子，兇手交給你了。隨即借力縱身而上，伸手一扳，一塊大石板轟隆一聲掉了下來，陷入地下人骨泥濘之中，足足有兩尺五寸厚，難怪連張慶獅也推它不動。那石門的確是堅固無比，但不知是經過了百年歲月，石質風化，還是飽受武林中人敲打震動，石門雖然無損，卻在門頂石壁上裂了一條三尺來長的極細縫隙，若不是李蓮花逃到上面去點著火摺子細看，倒也看不出來。 觀音門頂上露出了一個三尺左右的黑洞，裡頭一片漆黑，就如一隻地獄鬼眼，陰森森地往人間張望。方多病倒抽一口涼氣，饒是他一向自負膽大，時常妄為，想到死於腳底的遍地人骨，卻是不敢鑽入。葛潘臉現喜色，點亮火摺子，一頭向黑洞內鑽了進去。 李蓮花手足並用慢吞吞地爬了上去，跟隨其後，顫聲問：葛潘，裡面有什麼？ 葛潘答道：我還沒看突覺後腰略有微風，本能地回肘要撞，卻陡然想起自己半身在觀音門內，回肘一撞砰的一聲撞在石壁上，全手麻痺，而後腰部陽關一麻，已是動彈不得，就此掛在觀音門那黑黝黝的洞穴之中。 方多病目瞪口呆，點了葛潘穴道的人自然是在他身後那動作笨拙的李蓮花。楊秋嶽和張青茅都是啊的一聲叫了起來，李蓮花又慢吞吞地從牆上爬了下來，整理衣服。 張青茅張大了嘴巴，指著掛在門上的葛潘：啊他那個你 楊秋嶽失聲道：你怎麼知道是他？ 李蓮花抬頭看了葛潘一眼，微微一笑：因為他不是葛潘。 此言一出，眾人一怔，方多病皺眉道：他不是葛潘？原來你認識佛彼白石的那個葛潘嗎？ 李蓮花搖頭：素不相識。隨即他又道，只不過我知道佛彼白石窮得很，連彼丘都買不起綢衫，何況是彼丘的弟子？ 方多病恍然道：哦，也有道理，這人身上的衣服至少值十兩銀子，和本公子的只差了那麼四十兩。 李蓮花道：不過讓我確定他不是葛潘的，還有三件事，第一，他很文雅。 方多病奇道：他很文雅也有錯？ 李蓮花忍笑道，你不知道李相夷那人眼睛長在頭頂上，平生最不屑繁文縟節，他的門下，從來沒有教養，絕對不會見了人一口一個公子，還行禮作揖的。 方多病哼了一聲：這倒是，佛彼白石和我家老子說話，從來沒半句客套。 張青茅聽得一愣一愣，心裡暗忖，李蓮花似乎很熟悉四顧門的脾性，卻不知道這位神醫何時與四顧門有過交情？只聽他繼續說道：第二，他對皇陵頗有研究，知道史書所載，地宮入口多半在明樓之中。據我所知，彼丘本人深中孔孟之毒，讀書萬卷，正因為他讀書成癡，惹得李相夷厭煩，讓他立下誓言，他門下弟子，絕不許讀書。所以彼丘門下，多半都是不識字的；縱是識字，也不太可能通讀史書經典。 方多病大笑：這位李大俠有趣得很，不過你是怎麼知道四顧門這許多內幕？ 李蓮花微微一笑，繼續說道：第三，方才張慶獅被殺之時他說到張慶獅之死，語調便慢慢變得沉重起來，六支火把同時熄滅，顯然的，能夠同時熄滅六支火把的人，就是手裡沒有火把的人。 楊秋嶽被點中穴道，四肢麻痺，頭頸還能動彈，情不自禁點了點頭。張青茅啊了一聲道：我明白了！ 六支火把同時被暗器擊中，同時熄滅，如果打滅火把之人手裡也握著一支火把，那麼他自己那支火把熄滅的時間必定和其他五支略有不同，並且手持火把發射暗器，很容易被人發現。當時手裡沒有火把的人，只有在探路時把火把丟掉的葛潘。既然打滅火把的是葛潘，那麼趁著黑暗一掌劈死張慶獅的人必是葛潘，既然殺死張慶獅的人是葛潘，那麼殺害張慶虎的人便已是昭然若揭。 殺死張慶虎的人，是葛潘。李蓮花慢慢地說，要開啟熙陵地宮入口，必須有能舉千斤的臂力，若要引誘多人入地宮，那幕後主使之人必要有一位門夫。我猜張家兄弟必有一人是最近幾年專管開門的人。張慶虎擅使鐵棍，只需對鐵棍稍加整理，便能作為撬棍。張慶獅擅長羅漢拳，假冒張慶虎時以鐵勾開門，鐵勾尖細不堪重負，若無方多病的短棍相助，他說不定還開不了門，如果真是他和葛潘勾結，豈不是要用去十來把鐵勾開門？所以我猜測跟葛潘勾結的是張慶虎。但是張慶獅既然和他是同胞同住，就不可能無所察覺，所以當葛潘和我們到達熙陵的時候，張慶獅臉色怪異，或者是他認出了葛潘就是時常和張慶虎接觸的人，如
