0158 The Mystery of Bamboo Slips
Guan Heng continued at this time: "You just need to tell me how to go up. Just wait for me here. Besides, I'm afraid you won't be able to help much even if you go up."
"Uh? Really?" Ruotao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this time. Guan Heng looked at it and was just secretly amused. Ruotao said again: "Master Guan, look, the chain connecting the top is on the left edge.
, because the chain is too dark, so it’s not obvious.”
"So that's it. I asked you why you didn't see it just now." Guan Heng walked to the edge of the stone platform with the bamboo basket on his back, looked at the thick copper chains, and then said casually: "Ruotao, about that
Ancient Strange Corpse, is there anything else you want to remind me of?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Guan." Ruotao said in embarrassment: "Recently, that strange corpse has been howling on the top stone platform. After hearing this, I was just scared. There is nothing else to say..."
At this point, Ruotao suddenly paused and then said, "But now I want to ask you a small favor. I wonder if that's okay?"
After hearing this, Guan Heng nodded without hesitation: "Okay, tell me, what's the matter?" "That's it, my own strength is limited, so I want to ask you to close the lids of these five copper coffins.
"
At this moment, Ruotao whispered: "This is the last thing I can do for the king before I leave, because I suddenly suffered from a weird emergency and died before I even had time to close the coffin lid.
here……"
After hearing Ruotao's words, Guan Heng nodded slightly: "Okay, then I will fulfill your last wish."
First there were the coffin lids of two princes and a princess. Guan Heng struggled to lift them up and then gently closed them.
Immediately afterwards, there was the lid of the queen's coffin. Guan Heng took a look at the lifelike Queen of the Heavenly Witch, with her head covered with pearls and emeralds and wearing a haori. He just sighed slightly and then closed the lid of the coffin for her.
Finally, there is the coffin of the king of the Tianwu Kingdom. Guan Heng looked at this middle-aged man with a majestic face. Although there was no light here, the crown on the head of the king was still shining with splendor, seeming to indicate
The past glory of Tianwu Kingdom.
"Farewell, Lord of the country, although we were only close friends during your lifetime, but after hearing your deeds, you sacrificed the power of the whole country to prevent monsters from causing harm to the world. It is indeed admirable. Come, I will close the door for you.
The coffin lid..."
Just as Guan Heng said this, he grabbed the coffin lid. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong: "Huh? Why is this coffin lid so heavy? It weighs a lot more than other coffin lids."
Thinking of this, Guan Heng suddenly turned the coffin lid around, only to find that the edges of the coffin lid were hollow, with countless dark bamboo slips measuring several feet long stuffed inside.
Holding the coffin lid, Guan Heng pulled out a bamboo slip. Feeling that it was quite heavy, he raised his voice and said, "Hey, Ruotao, what are these?"
Hearing Guan Heng's call, Ruotao walked over. She glanced at the dark bamboo slips, and then said with some confusion: "Strange, these bamboo slips record the traditional ancient characters of the Tianwu Kingdom. I remember this kind of writing."
The bamboo slips are cut from bamboo slices. They are durable and extremely precious. They are usually collected by the king of the country. Why are they in the cracks of the coffin lid?"
"Perhaps the king wants these precious things to be buried with him." Guan Heng said at this time: "Never mind that, Ruotao, I don't understand the words above, can you understand it? Tell me.
Listen to what it says?"
"Okay, I can understand some of the traditional characters of the Tianwu Kingdom..." Ruotao said, taking the dark bamboo slip, and then began to translate and read the characters on it.
Most of what is narrated on the bamboo slips is about the history of Tianwu Kingdom. There are hundreds of heavy bamboo slips in total, but the last few dozen pieces tell the origins of the twelve ancient corpses collected by Tianwu Kingdom.
To put it into detail, these twelve ancient corpses are actually secret treasures refined by the ancestors of the Tianwu Kingdom through witchcraft. After absorbing the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon, they became extremely powerful and each had their own specialties.
ability.
The twelve corpses were named after strange corpses from ancient times, and they were each called: corpse of Nv Chou, corpse of ancestor, corpse of King Rong Xuan, corpse of Shebi, corpse of Jubi, corpse of Prince Ye, corpse of mutilated body, and corpse of Shao.
The corpse of Niao, the corpse of Xiang Gu, the corpse of Deng Ling, the corpse of Huang Xi, and the corpse of Xia Geng.
Although these names are horrifying, at the beginning, they were just ordinary ancient corpses refined by the secret method of Tianwu Kingdom, and their strange abilities were very limited.
But just over ten years ago, the world suddenly changed, and evil spirits were rampant. Twelve ancient corpses were also affected. After absorbing the mutation, the evil spirits evolved and restrained themselves from the evil spirits imposed on them by the ancestors of the Tianwu Kingdom.
All the "Sealing Bamboo Talismans" on his body fled away.
The last ancient corpse escaped a little slowly, but was captured by a group of corpse ghosts led by the last leader of the Tianwu Kingdom. Now it is imprisoned on the top of the stone platform. The ancient corpse has a name called "The Corpse of the Ugly Female".
, is the name taken from Hanbao, the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven.
This ugly female corpse has no other abilities, but its body is extremely strong and its strength is amazing. It is the crown of the twelve ancient corpses. After absorbing a large amount of evil energy, its abilities in this area have increased several times. Everyone also worked together to
And with a bit of luck, he was able to catch him.
At this moment, Guan Heng listened to Ruotao's description of the contents on the bamboo slip and said subconsciously: "Oh, it turns out it's just her strength and strong body. It seems that this ugly female corpse is not difficult to deal with."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Guan." Ruotao said, "I haven't finished talking here yet. The last dozens of bamboo slips are the last words left by the king. They all explain how to capture or destroy the ancient corpse. Hey, here
There is a piece that talks about dealing with the corpse of an ugly woman..."
Guan Heng was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Is that so? Tell me quickly."
Ruotao held the bamboo slip and said: "This female ugly corpse was made by the only daughter of the fifth generation king of the Heavenly Witch Kingdom a thousand years ago. However, nearly half of the secret method failed at that time, resulting in the strong body of the female ugly corpse.
There is a fatal flaw, that is, there is a place near the heart that can be penetrated by the evil-breaking ancient tree."
Having said this, Ruotao paused for a moment and continued: "So when the corpse of Nv Chou was captured, the king's Jumang sword would break through the corpse's solid body, but at that time the Jumang sword was lost.
Most of the divine energy was already fragile, so it was broken and left on the corpse of Nv Chou, but the sword of the divine tree also restricted the movement of the ancient corpse."
"Well, actually I just want to take away the remnant soul of Qinghuang. As for the corpse of the ugly woman... If I can avoid conflict with her, I would rather stay away from her." Guan Heng had just started to make this calculation in his heart, and Ruotao said again:
"Master Guan, the king also left a message on this bamboo slip, saying how to repair the broken blade of Jumang Sword and how to control the spiritual energy of the sword..."
"What?!" When Guan Heng heard this, his heart suddenly moved. He thought to himself at this moment: "After Jumang Sword absorbs my spiritual energy, the sword light released is indeed extremely sharp. If it can be used well, it may not be a big deal."
Killer weapon."
