Chapter 506 Beliefs
Chen Yong took out the witch doctor scripture and began to carefully compare the spells in the copper slips. After eating the blood and bile of the golden python, his memory began to become stronger. He could read articles at a glance and ten lines at a time. He bought it from a Malayan tiger.
I have read more than half of the ancient books, and I can read several a day when I have nothing to do.
It took him an hour to translate all this pile of copper slips and memorize them by heart.
These copper slips record the origin of the tomb and the spells on how to control these human figurines.
It turns out that this tomb is the tomb of the mythical Wushan Goddess. There are dozens of versions of the legend about this Wushan Goddess. Which one is true and which one is false has not been verified for thousands of years.
But the legend of the Wushan goddess recorded in the copper slips is different.
This Wushan goddess is Yun Ruoxian, a Miao witch doctor 5,000 years ago. This Miao witch doctor was so skilled in medicine that people from all over Wushan within a radius of 500 miles came to her for treatment.
At that time, floods were raging around Wushan and plague was rampant. Yun Ruoxian set an example by letting himself be infected with the plague, testing medicine on his own, and cured countless people within a radius of 500 miles.
Later, she worked hard, visited all the villages around Wushan, cured all diseases, and finally wrote a medical book called Witch Doctor. This medical book had a great influence on all the Miao people in the entire Miao territory, but this medical book
His final whereabouts are unknown.
Chen Yong couldn't help but look at the witch doctor scroll in his hand. Could it be that the witch doctor recorded in the copper slips was this witch doctor scroll?
Yun Ruoxian never married and died suddenly of overwork during a pandemic.
In order to commemorate this witch doctor, the Miao people built a tomb here and buried the witch doctor in the tomb. She was called the Wushan Goddess by the Miao people.
There was originally a natural cave here. After more than ten generations of Miao people's transformation, it became what it is now.
Those human figurines were made by the Miao people from dead bodies. These human figurines began to be made in the Xia Dynasty and were not made again until the liberation.
Later, the government stopped allowing live sacrifices, and all activities ceased.
These human figurines are used to protect the Wushan Goddess. Anyone who dares to harm the Wushan Goddess will have these human figurines awakened by someone chanting a spell. No matter which force or army you belong to, you are no match for these human figurines. Because of these
The human figurines are not human at all, and they are not afraid of death. You can't kill them even with a gun.
With the changes of the times and the replacement of the old with the new, the Miao people have almost forgotten this Wushan goddess. Even the Miao people in the surrounding villages do not know the existence of this Wushan goddess.
Chen Yong fully understood everything here, and he no longer felt so scared. The mysterious feeling was no longer there.
Chen Yong returned along the way he came, when the sky began to darken.
Chen Yong took out his cell phone and saw that it was already past 5 o'clock in the evening. Chen Yong wanted to call Qiu Zhanhua to report that he was safe. Unexpectedly, he couldn't make a call after calling for a long time. It turned out that the cell phone had no signal.
Chen Yong walked for almost two hours before returning to the cave he entered first. Chen Yong looked at the passage on the left, wondering whether he should go in and take a look? Anyway, he was already here, why not go in and take a look? Take a look at the main
What does the tomb look like?
Chen Yong finally convinced himself.
Step forward to the left passage.
Chen Yong walked smoothly along the way, and soon he saw the tomb door blown open by explosives.
Chen Yong took a flashlight and looked into the tomb. There was a passage inside the tomb. The walls on both sides of the passage were painted with murals. Most of the murals on the walls had fallen off. The walls were so mottled that it was difficult to see what the paintings were about.
.
After walking along the passage for dozens of meters, we came to a large stone chamber. There were strange things on the floor in the stone chamber, including cow skulls, sheep skulls, pig skulls, pottery pots, cups, bowls, bronze utensils, etc.
, placed all over the floor, so as to leave a passage in the middle.
Chen Yong wondered whether these were funerary objects. It might have been the custom of the Miao people at that time. None of them were valuable, but they were all things that could be seen in ordinary life.
Chen Yong followed the middle road and came to a stone door.
Chen Yong was afraid that there was poisonous gas in the stone chamber, so he held his breath, used the fish-shaped Tai Chi technique, and carefully pushed open the stone door.
The stone door made a rattling sound, and a cold wind blew in his face. This cold wind was so cold that it made Chen Yong shiver involuntarily and he couldn't even open his eyes.
After the cold wind blew, Chen Yong opened his eyes.
When Chen Yong saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.
This is a large space with a pool in the middle. The water in the pool is constantly rolling, making a gurgling sound. The thick smoke rising from the pool is the kind of smoke that makes people feel bitingly cold.
There is a transparent coffin hanging above the pool.
The coffin was hung by a chain hanging from the top of the stone chamber. The coffin was more than two meters high from the pool.
Lying in the transparent coffin was a woman wearing pure white clothing. The woman's facial features were exactly the same as those of the goddess on the stone wall carvings and stone statues.
This woman's skin is almost the same as that of a living person. It is white, rosy, tender, and can be broken by blows, as if this woman is asleep and will wake up at any time.
This is a corpse from five thousand years ago. It has not rotted and is still alive. How is this possible?
Could this transparent coffin be the legendary crystal coffin?
Legend has it that a corpse can remain incorruptible for thousands of years if placed in a crystal coffin. It seems to be true now.
Chen Yong did not know how many tombs he dug in his previous life as an archeologist. This was the first time he saw this. After their death, the Miao people were not buried in the ground. They were either placed in caves on the top of the mountain or hung on the stone wall. What we call hanging coffins.
This is a major custom of the Miao people.
This Yun Ruoxian is hanging in the air. I don't know why the water in the pool is so cold and biting. It may be used to protect the corpse. This cold air can prevent the corpse from rotting.
A silver-white bead the size of a fist was placed above the corpse's head. This bead emitted a bright light, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.
Chen Yong looked at this goddess and felt that this woman's peerless appearance was very similar to a woman he remembered, but he couldn't remember it for a while!
Chen Yong withdrew his gaze from the coffin and began to look at the surrounding environment.
Only then did Chen Yong see a row of young girls wearing ancient costumes standing not far away. These girls had different shapes, and each girl had a beautiful face.
Chen Yong was shocked when he saw these beautiful girls. They were one of a million. Chen Yong was so delighted that he almost drooled.
Chen Yong initially thought that these were human figurines, but when he stepped forward to check, he found that these were stone statues carved from stone. These stone statues were artificially painted to make them look like real people and lifelike.
Chen Yong lamented that the skills of these painting craftsmen in ancient times were comparable to those of three-dimensional printers.
After seeing the stone statues, Chen Yong walked to the pool to see what was in the pool that could make the water so cold and biting?
As soon as Chen Yong took two steps, he felt danger. His body responded quickly and retreated. A sword with a cold light pierced the place where Chen Yong was standing just now. Fortunately, Chen Yong retreated in time, otherwise Chen Yong's
