    Fortunately, the road ahead was straight to the end. As Shen Wangyan predicted before, after walking about 200 meters, a translucent giant gate that looked like it was carved from crystal suddenly appeared in front of Bao Le and Jiang Ning.The gate is nearly five meters high and wide enough for three or four people to enter at the same time. It opens and closes left and right.I just don't know why, this door is wrapped in a layer of white mist, and it looks a bit fairy-like from a distance.

    As they got closer, Bao Le shuddered, looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Do you feel that it's getting colder?"

    "Your feeling is right," Jiang Ning stood in front of the door, raising a smile: "This door is made of ice."

    The little girl was shocked, but felt that what she said was true. The source of all the coldness seemed to come from this huge door.The huge door made of ice is emitting a steady stream of cold air to the surroundings, doesn't it look like it is wrapped in white mist?The land of Shu is not cold, and it is now the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. How could there be such a well-preserved ice door in such a place.

    As we all know, the white air formed by cold air is usually formed by the collision of cold and heat, and the air condenses into visible small water droplets.Since this kind of small water droplets can appear, it means that the surrounding temperature of this land is normal, and it will not freeze in a natural state, but this ice door is so complete that there is no tendency to melt even the corners and corners.Ghost.

    Just as Bao Le stretched out her hand to touch it, Jiang Ning quickly slapped her paw away.For this reason, Jiang Meiren let go of the hand that was holding Shen Wangyan's arm, causing Young Master Shen's entire body to rest on Baole's body again, almost failing her.

    "You don't want your hands anymore?" Jiang Ning fiercely attacked her.

    Bao Le was puzzled.

    Jiang Ning said: "The temperature of this door is very low. If you just put it on like this, half of your hand will be frozen to death."

    "So scary?!"

    "There is a saying that in the place where wronged souls are buried, ice is used to nourish the soul, and fire is used to refine the soul. This is how to gather a hundred ghosts, and the big ghosts will eat the little ghosts, and finally become the king of ghosts."

    Bao Le was puzzled: "Why does this sound so familiar?"

    "In the past in southern Xinjiang, the Gu girls who waited for Gu also used the same principle," Jiang Ning said, "I don't know who they borrowed from. It's not a good thing anyway. After the founding of New China,This bad habit has been abolished long ago, and it is considered a good thing.”

    The little girl foolishly finished listening to the heavenly book, and worried: "Then can this door be opened?"

    "Of course."

    After Jiang Ning finished speaking, she put Shen San down on her shoulders, and Bao Le watched her move all her muscles and bones, especially those ten lush and slender fingers.Before Bao Le could see what she wanted to do, she suddenly saw Jiang Meiren stretch out her arms, covering both palms completely on the ice door that was still emitting the cold air.

    Bao Le was shocked: "You are crazy, let go!"

    Jiang Ning ignored her.

    The huge door, which was not considered light, was slowly pushed open under her hands.Jiang Meiren's face was as elegant and calm as ever. As the door opened wider and wider, he slightly bent his knees and took half a step towards the inside of the door.

    At that moment, Bao Le seemed to hear the sound of ghosts crying, and the tinnitus echoed in her mind for a long time.

    The hair on both sides of Jiang Ning's cheeks was blown by an inexplicable wind.

    A large amount of white gas overflowed from the door, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, making people fall into the cold winter.

    Bao Le reluctantly raised his head and saw a strange light shrouded her body, as if something was about to come out.She wanted to take a closer look at what it was, but Jiang Meiren didn't give her this chance.With the door opened to a sufficient distance, Jiang Ning pulled out the white umbrella behind her.

    Jingle Bell

    The wind chime is swaying against the wind, and the sound of the bell is crisp and moving. The white umbrella is like a blooming epiphyllum in the dark night, with a refreshing fragrance.Jiang Ning turned the front and back of the umbrella so that the ribs were on the top and the umbrella was on the bottom, and at the same time, she threw the umbrella upwards with her wrist.During the fall of the white umbrella, she opened her arms, bent down and raised her legs.While gradually bending the waist to 90 degrees, the right leg was raised straight from behind the body, and lightly kicked the umbrella bone.The white umbrella turned upside down, circled around in the secret room behind the door, and returned to Jiang Ning's right hand, which was already outstretched to welcome her.

    She danced an umbrella flower in the air, causing the white umbrella to turn up and down, with the heart of the umbrella facing inward.The beauty holds the umbrella in both hands, and puts the ribs on her shoulders. The whole person is shrouded in the white umbrella like a short-lived epiphyllum, half of which is light and dark.

    Looking back, Jiang Ning smiled and charming Qiansheng.

    All of a sudden, everything was silent, and the surrounding temperature slowly returned to normal.

    Bao Le noticed that although Jiang Ning had been in close contact with the cold door just now, her hand holding the umbrella didn't suffer from frostbite at all, and she didn't know if what she said about the extremely low temperature of the door was true or if she was lying to her.

    But these are not important.

    The little girl stared at her blankly, thinking that this man is really beautiful, but for some reason, he is so beautiful, he always feels a little creepy.Of course, she only dared to slander to herself, if she spoke out what was in her heart, she would inevitably be beaten severely.

    Comrade Bao Le lowered his head wittily, and concentrated on supporting Shen Wangyan.She felt that she was used to his weight now, and she could even drag him for a while.

    After finally dragging Master Shen into the door, Bao Le finally had time to look at the whole picture of the fifth floor.

    This floor is somewhat similar to the second floor, and there is also a canal in the center surrounding an open platform, but the platform on the second floor is circular, and this one is an octagon that has been seen more recently.There is no pure gold furnace cauldron on the platform, but the whole looks like an altar, with a bronze statue on each corner.The statue is in the shape of a human, holding an oar in its hand as if rowing a boat.This posture seems to correspond to dozens of canoes floating on the canal.

    The boat has a cover and is tightly sealed.

    Shu people carried corpses in boats and buried them underground, which was called boat coffins.

    These dozens of canoes are exactly dozens of boat coffins floating on the canal.

    Of the materials Shen Wangyan gave in 1920, the only photo left is almost exactly the same as the set on this floor.But he himself is still in a coma, and it is hard for Bao Le to confirm whether it is, not to mention the lessons learned from the past, this may be another secret room imitated by the descendants of Ai Sang.

    There are also some things in this secret room that are not shown in the photos. For example, against the wall, there are five giant bronze warrior statues about five meters high, almost reaching the zenith.

    Not only Bao Le noticed these warrior statues, Jiang Ning also noticed after helping Shen San into the secret room.

    Jiang Meiren squinted her eyes and said nothing.

    ...

    What Bao Le cares most about this secret room is of course the boat coffins in the central canal.

    The formation of the ship coffin culture is mainly because for the ancients who lived near the water in the Bashu area, "boat" played a very important role in daily culture. The water connected by the boat has the meaning of going round and round.Therefore, when a person dies, relatives will take nanmu with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of about five meters, and cut it off to make a boat coffin.Most of the boat coffins have the shape of a canoe, but apart from the unique shape, they are not much different from ordinary coffins.

    As she said to Shen Wangyan before, boat coffins were the funeral custom of the ancient Shu people, and it was popular in the Warring States period until the early Western Han Dynasty.At that time in the Western Han Dynasty, Han culture gradually infiltrated, and then the Shu area was dominated by Han people's tombs, and boat coffins were rarely seen.

    Judging from the degree of moldiness of these ship coffins, it does seem to be a product of the Warring States Period.Judging from the degree of foaming of the boat coffins, these boat coffins were only placed in the water for nearly a hundred years.

    So many boat coffins were soaked in such a canal at the same time a hundred years ago, it's weird to think about it!

    Although it is called a boat coffin, most boat coffins still exist in the form of burial.At that time, everyone was buried separately after death, and it was unlikely that they would be buried together, let alone placed on the water together.It is reasonable to guess that these normally buried boat coffins were finally dug out by someone, and then they were piled together for some reason.This person is really bad enough, not to mention digging up his ancestors' graves, but he has dug so many.

    Bao Le has listed Abu as the first suspect.

    Jiang Ning walked up to her and asked, "What trick do you see?"

    Bao Le asked back: "Did you say there are corpses in here?"

    Jiang Ning shrugged.

    "How about," the poor little girl who has always been timid, softly asked for help, "Let's open it and see?" She said this very casually, as if what they wanted to open was not a coffin, but a big watermelon.

    Jiang Meiren smiled softly, pinched her face, and said, "If you just want to confirm whether there is a corpse inside, you don't need to open the coffin, there is indeed something inside."

    "how do you know?!"

    Jiang Ning pouted her mouth: "The draft of this kind of nanmu is not so deep."

    "What if, what if there is no corpse inside?"

    "What else do you think is inside?" Jiang Ning held her forehead and sighed deeply, "If I'm right, the fifth floor is the core of this soul refining field. Although the fourth floor has a soul-binding formation, but it does not have a strong yin energy. The reason why this soul bottle is called a soul bottle must be because it has gathered a large number of living souls. There are none in the first four floors, so it is waiting for us on the fifth floor?"

    Jiang Ning raised her eyes, smiled lightly and uttered a sentence: "It's really a place where evil spirits are whining."

    "There...is there a ghost here?!" Bao Le hugged Jiang Ning tightly in fear.

    She was a little shorter than Jiang Ning, just enough to bury her head on her shoulders. Jiang Meiren couldn't help but reach out and mess up her hairstyle like playing mahjong.It's not that she intends to scare Bao Le, sometimes it's a happy thing not to see.Her horoscope is extremely light, but a hundred ghosts dare not get close to her, probably thanks to her powerful amulet.

    Jiang Ning said: "Don't lose your amulet."

    With his afro on his head, Bao Le looked at her in confusion.

    Jiang Meiren was amused by her stupidity, but she still had to say something, so don't scare her now, for fear that she won't take it seriously.

    "Water is used to nourish walking corpses. The descendants of Ai Sang dug out these ship coffins that had been buried for two thousand years and nourished them with water. I am afraid they will refine the ghost king. Remember what I said before, to refine the ghost kingFirst of all, the soul must be nourished with ice and refined with fire. This place has already met these two conditions. The bronze statue and the nanmu boat belong to fire, and the water in the canal and the bones in the coffin belong to ice.Law."

    "...That's not dead."

    Jiang Ning distanced herself from Bao Le, rubbed her temples, and sat on the floor alone: "The good news is that this formation has not been opened yet, and I don't know how to open it. If you can find the door first, you will be saved.This is your profession, perform well~"

    Bao Le froze for a moment, looked at her, and asked anxiously: "Jiang Ning, are you feeling well?"

    She didn't expect that she would find out.

    Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "Yeah, it's too cloudy here, which makes people feel uncomfortable, so you have to find the exit soon."
