Chapter 6: Tomb of Strange Fragrances

Since this is a sub-chamber of the main tomb, the ancient stone door is not an indestructible obstacle to the Seven Tomb Robbers.

The seven extraordinary tomb robbers didn't have to worry much. They easily opened the thick stone door amidst the laughter of the seventh brother and the sound of the land master's hookah.

Suddenly, "a refreshing fragrance came to my nostrils with sincerity!" The seven tomb robbers were shocked. Only the cunning Tuye stared at his old eyes like will-o'-the-wisps and gave out a strange and unknown smile.

What a rare and mysterious tomb with strange fragrance!

Through the flickering light of the angry wind lantern, the Seven Grave Robbers could vaguely see that the tomb was not that big, but it still looked like a hundred square meters.

However! If this land were placed within the Second Ring Road of Beijing today, it would be worth at least 7.5 million yuan! It seems that the dead people in ancient times lived in a more fucking spacious and comfortable place than the living people who live in modern slums.

.

They looked around the circular tomb and saw that the top and bottom of the tomb were made of neat white strips of stone, which were extremely solid. There was an ultra-thin razor blade between the stone cracks.

Son, don't even think about getting in.

Around the strong tomb, there are many ferocious tomb-suppressing beasts, fairy protectors, and various stone carvings. They are all colorful, with teeth and claws, holding magical instruments and weapons, with different shapes and ferocious expressions, clinging to them.

The walls of the tomb stand in a circle facing inward, surrounding a gloomy wooden coffin in the center.

Dark wood has been very valuable since ancient times and is known as a living fossil!

The overall feeling of this tomb is that it is weird and spooky. The air-conditioning is whistling, as if you are in the Hell Hall of Hell. It makes your scalp tight and your spine chilly. The air seems to be full of deadly poisons.

Murderous intent.

Among the seven tomb robbers, Hua Dan is considered a coward. At this moment, her hair is almost standing on end and her breathing is so short! Her heart is beating like a motor, almost jumping out of her chest and throat.

.

He subconsciously shrank his neck and followed closely behind the sturdy Seventh Brother, who was superb in kung fu, otherwise he would not feel safe at all.

In fact, it's no wonder that the ten fingers are unusually aligned, and there are always timid among tomb robbers.

But even so, Hua Dan, a die-hard and experienced tomb robber, was many times more courageous than ordinary people, but she was a bit of a coward among the seven.

This expensive and ultra-luxurious dark wood coffin looks golden and bright, very magnificent and quite unique. It is about 1.6 meters high, 1.3 meters wide and 2.2 meters long. It has dragon paintings carved on it.

The phoenix is ​​engraved with various flying apsaras and fairies flying in the sky among the clouds. It is very exquisite and breathtaking.

The land man stepped forward, holding a hookah in his mouth and bent down to take a look. He recognized that the gloomy wood coffin was golden nanmu. He even exclaimed: "What a good guy, this is really strange. This is a typical rich burial."

, higher than the standard of the owner of the tomb, whose coffin is just camphor wood."

Since ancient times, the best wood for making coffins is sunken wood, because coffins made of it will not decay for thousands of years, and the body will not decay so easily.

The best among gloomy trees is golden nanmu! Because it combines the elegance of trees and the charm of stone, it is known as the "Oriental Sacred Wood" and "Plant Mummy".

A long time ago, due to earthquakes, floods, and mudslides, all the green trees on the ground were buried in the low-lying areas of the ancient river bed. Some of the trees in the mud, under the combined action of hypoxia, high pressure, and bacteria and microorganisms, took thousands of years to survive.

Carbonized into this strange gloomy wood.

Rich people in the past dynasties have regarded dark wood as a sacred object to ward off evil spirits, and have made beautiful handicrafts, sacred Buddha statues, amulets and exquisite small pendants. The older generation all say: "Have half a square meter of dark wood at home."

, better than a box of treasure.

"In fact, the essence of sunken wood is carbonized wood, but if it is carbonized too much, it becomes coal for fires.

The gloomy wood "borrows the aura of heaven and earth and gathers the essence of the sun and the moon. It is the spirit of all trees and the honor of spiritual trees." It has gone through the vicissitudes of time and been created by a variety of natural external forces, making its natural appearance appear strange, simple, and elegant.

, so graceful and graceful, no wonder the foreigners today all extended their white thumbs after visiting, shouted OK, and exclaimed as the "Oriental Sacred Tree".

Precious tree species that naturally form dark wood include camphor tree, golden nanmu, small-leaf nanmu, water nanmu, yew, sandalwood, etc. Haha, just like us humans, we are divided into yellow people, white people, black people, etc. Among them, golden people

Phoebe was already on the verge of extinction in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Generally, it can only be formed by trees with fragrance and bactericidal characteristics. It is not just a tree buried underground that can become a dark wood.

Among them, the precious golden nanmu has been used to make coffins as early as the Han Dynasty, so this "first coffin wood" became popular from the Han Dynasty, prevailed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and became extinct in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

In ancient society, there were strict hierarchies, and even the coffin wood used for the dead had strict restrictions! If ordinary people or ordinary officials dared to use half a piece of golden nanmu, the royal family would be very angry, and the consequences would be serious.

All the people in the house were beheaded and their little heads chopped off.

For example, when Emperor Jiaqing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty killed corrupt officials and gentry, he angrily listed more than a dozen crimes. Among them, one of the biggest crimes against the gentry was that he dared to use golden nanmu to build a house.

But in the ancient Han Dynasty, golden nanmu was not as rare and precious as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There were much more golden nanmu at that time than in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so rich people could use this magical wood as a

final destination after death.

It is said that after Liu Zongyuan passed away, his family ordered a fine nanmu coffin in Liuzhou, packed his body, and transported it all the way back to his hometown for burial.

But when they returned to Hedong, opened the coffin and buried it again, they found that Liu Gong's body was not rotten at all and his face was lifelike. Everyone was very surprised.

From then on, Liuzhou coffins became famous all over the world because of Liu Zongyuan’s celebrity effect! Those high-ranking officials all regarded it as an honor to own a fine nanmu coffin produced in Liuzhou.

Precisely because golden nanmu is so famous and is a precious wood unique to our country, most people have only heard of it but have never seen it.

The dragon chairs and thrones of ancient feudal emperors were all made of high-quality golden nanmu.

Under the swaying light of the angry wind lamp, Tu Tuye discovered that there were "golden threads" shining in the golden nanmu grain! He knew that this was the best kind of nanmu, not inferior to the water nanmu.

What's even more rare is that they discovered that the panels of the nanmu coffin were formed with natural patterns of landscapes and figures, which had a clear and obvious three-dimensional effect, like a devilish dreamy color. This was the unique golden pattern in ancient legends.
