Chapter 25 Purple Jade Box
The fat man's forehead burst out with blue veins. How could he buy his account? He jumped up and cursed: "What did you do just now!"
Mon Oil Bottle turned his head, glared at him coldly, and said, "Kill you,"
The fat man was furious and rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward. Dakui hugged him quickly. Uncle San saw that the atmosphere was wrong. This fat man was not a good person, so he quickly smoothed out and said, "Don't panic, there must be a reason for doing things. Let's listen to it first. He has saved your life a lot along the way, right? Take it easy first."
The fat man thought it was right, and it was not easy to take action. He fought to get out of Dakui, and sat on the ground angrily and said, "Your mother has many people. Fatty, I can't beat four hands with one punch. There is no way, what do you say?"
Monk Oil Bottle put the blood corpse head in his hand on the jade bed, coughed, and said, "This blood corpse is the previous owner of the jade figurine. When King Lu Shang found him when he fought back, he took off the jade figurine, and he became like this. Entering this jade figurine, he will take off the jade figurine every 500 years, and he can only take off the jade figurine when peeling off, otherwise it will turn into a blood corpse. Now the living corpse in front of you has been more than 3,000 years. Just now, you just need to pull the thread and the corpse inside will immediately rise, and we will all die here."
After he said that, he coughed a few more times. I saw blood oozing out of the corners of his mouth. I thought it was hard, and it might have hurt my internal organs.
Pan Zi was already leaning against the side with discomfort and didn't say anything. At this time, he suddenly said, "Brother, I, Pan Zi, are straight. Don't be surprised. You know too much. If it's convenient, you might as well explain clearly. Which god are you? You saved my life. If I have the life to go out, I can also come to pay my thanks."
Pan Zi said this very coincidental. I thought that he could not get rid of the mangled oil bottle, but unexpectedly he still didn't say a word, as if he had never thought about paying attention to us. He walked to the corpse of Lu Shang and looked at him in disgust. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Before I could see his movements, his hand had stuck the neck of the corpse and raised him into the coffin. A scream came from the throat of the corpse, and it kept shaking. All this happened too quickly, and I couldn't react at all. The mangled oil bottle said coldly to the corpse: "You have lived long enough to die." The blue veins on his hand exploded, and the bones burst, the limbs of the corpse kept trembling, and when he kicked his legs, his skin quickly turned black.
We all looked at him in amazement. For a moment, no one knew what to say. He threw the body on the ground, as if the jade figurine was simply garbage and not worth mentioning. I grabbed him, "Who are you! What kind of deep hatred do you have with King Lu Shang?"
Mon Oil Bottle looked at me, looked at me for a while, and said, "What can I do if I know?"
The fat man said unconvincedly: "What's the reason? We worked hard to get down to this tomb and finally opened the coffin. You strangled the body to death without saying a word. At least you should explain it to us!"
Mon Oil Bottle turned his head and looked at the head of the blood corpse placed on the jade bed. His expression was very sad. He pointed to the painted lacquer coffin and a purple jade box at the back of the coffin and said, "Everything you need to know is in that box."
Purple jade is amethyst, which is generally used as a possession talisman and evil-proof objects. Few people use it to make boxes. This box seems to be dug out with a whole piece of purple jade, which is very rare. Purple jade is not good at pondering, so there is no pattern on the box, and only a gold edge is inlaid on the closure. Judging from the place where it is placed, it should be used as a pillow for the corpse. Generally, jade pillows are already very precious, and purple jade is even more valuable. I am afraid that the emperors at that time did not have such treatment.
We carefully took out the box and put it on the ground. The box had no locks. When we opened it, we saw a roll of golden silk inlaid with silk. The fibers of this thing were inlaid with gold silk, which was very well preserved. We expanded it and saw a line from the left that wrote [The Book of the King of Mingshang], and then the side was densely covered with small characters.
Compared to this silk book, the fat man was more interested in the jade figurine. He couldn't understand it, so he muttered a few times and went to study the jade figurine. The muffled oil bottle pulled out the knife from the tree, lay on the side of the jade bed, and silently stared at the body of King Lu Shang, with his eyes blurred.
Uncle San and I sat next to him and carefully looked through the text on the silk book. At my level, we could only understand some fragments, but by connecting these fragments, we could see a rough idea. The things recorded in the King of Mingshang were simply incredible. If it weren't for the fact that we had experienced so many strange things, I really couldn't believe that there was such a thing in the world.
On the edge of the line of the book of Ming Gongshang Wang Di, there is a small line of characters, which is the preface he wrote himself, with only a few lines of characters. Behind them are all the major events of his birth to death. If all of them were translated, I'm afraid it would be impossible to handle it for ten days and half a month. Fortunately, I'm lucky that I can't handle it for ten days and half a month.
I can understand the two most important things.
The first thing was when King Lu Shang obtained the ghost seal. The silk book was written in a relatively simple way. I first sorted out and read it out.
He inherited his father's official position in the 25th, robbed the ancient tombs for the army of Lu, and paid gold to collect military salaries. Once, he entered a tomb of unknown age. The coffin was lying in the coffin, and he did not move. King Lu Shang was very brave. He thought that the giant snake lying on the coffin must be a monster. He chopped the snake with one knife and forced the order to break the snake's belly. As a result, a purple gold box was dug out of the snake's belly.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but feel stunned. Could it be that the box I put in my bag was cut out from the snake's belly? Uncle San saw that I stopped talking and said impatiently: "Don't stop, continue talking!" I couldn't think about it carefully, so I had to come back to my senses and continue to recite.
King Lu Shang didn't care about the box, but just thought it was swallowed by a snake. Later, when he was sleeping at night, he dreamed of an old man with white beard and asked him, "What do you want to kill me?"
King Lu Shang is usually very violent and kills a lot of people. He forgets if he kills. He doesn’t know who the old man is, and said, “If you want to kill, kill him!”
The old man suddenly turned into a giant snake to bite him. Who knew that King Lu Shang was so fierce that he cut the snake with another knife in his dream. Then he stepped on it and was about to chop the snake's head. The snake suddenly started begging for mercy and said that his body had been killed by him. If his soul was killed by him, he would never be born. If he let him go, he would pass on two treasures. He could make him the most powerful officer. Although the officer who robbed the tomb at that time was under the direct management of the emperor, his status was very low. King Lu Shang regarded himself very high, and this condition was very attractive to him. He agreed.
The snake told him how to open the purple gold box in his belly, and also taught him the method of using the treasures inside. After hearing this, King Lu Shang "knows the wonderful things" and felt that this matter should only be known to heaven and could not be passed on to the world. He chopped off the snake's head with one knife.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but feel shocked. This King Lu Shang is too cruel.
The fat man ran over and asked, "That treasure must be a ghost seal, what is the other one? It has never been mentioned in ancient books. Could it be this jade figurine?"
I signaled him not to hurry and continued to look down.
After King Lu Shang woke up, he tried the way he used the dream and opened the box. However, he never wrote about the treasure in it. He said that after using it, he was "very easy" after using it, he felt that this matter could not be known to others, so he brought the followers he brought with him, and even their families, not letting go of the children who were just over a month old.
I took a breath again when I saw this, thinking that King Lu Shang must have some mental problems, otherwise how could it be so cruel?
The fat man said: "How could he kill so many people by himself? He must have used the treasure. He is so anxious. Please see if there is anything written below?"
I scolded: "Why are you so much nonsense? Go and clean up your jade figurines!"
He straightened his mouth, "Okay, okay, I won't just stop me. You'll be fucking happy, your intestines are itchy!"
I ignored him and continued to read.
In the next few decades, he was invincible with those two treasures. He was invincible in both war and government affairs, and was in a while. However, in his later years, due to years of contact with corpse gas, he developed many stubborn diseases in his body, which was very inconvenient. As a result, the emperor thought he was too old and left his military power, so he only needed to fight back and not take care of military affairs. This was actually demoted him.
As his health became worse day by day, he began to become a little afraid of death. One day, he dreamed of the giant snake that had been decades. The giant snake told him that his death date had arrived, and we were all waiting for you in the underworld. When he saw that it was almost all the people he had killed before! When he woke up, he remembered the contents of the dream and was very scared. He went to ask his military advisor for advice.
His military was an iron-faced man who was proficient in the Feng Shui of Destiny. He thought about it slightly and told King Lu Shang that there was a kind of jade figurine in ancient times that could make people rejuvenate and live forever. Unfortunately, he had already disappeared. If he wanted to find it, he could only go to the ancient tomb. King Lu Shang was at the end of his journey at that time. Whether the words of Mr. Lu were real or not, they gave him a glimmer of hope, and fighting was his strength. So he studied ancient books all night. At that time, the documentary materials were still relatively rich, and many things were not lost. Finally, he discovered a large tomb with jade figurines in a Jianshu.
Then, he used more than 3,000 people and spent half a year to dig the mountain to find a huge Western Zhou imperial tomb in the area he estimated. At that time, the national strength of various countries was not very good, so the scale of this imperial tomb was already amazing at that time. It was built through the mountains, using natural caves, and the tomb passages inside used the principles of the Zhouyi Bagua. It was extremely complicated. If King Lu Shang had not mastered the Qimen Shield Armor, he would not have been able to walk in. The most peculiar thing was that in the cave where the main tomb, there was a giant tree called Hydra Nana, and a young man who was almost skinny and bone was sitting on the jade bed under the giant tree in a black gold-wisted jade suit.
