Man in Zong Tomb, Unloading Ridge Robbery Chapter 324 Bronze Coffin
"Bronze coffin..."
After receiving Chen Ziyan's answer, Hu Bayi's voice lost all emotion. After murmuring in a low voice, he couldn't help but say:
"This place is really full of vicious creatures. I think we'd better fight it quickly!"
Both the cellar coffin and the bronze coffin are extremely dangerous objects. You should retreat when you encounter one. Now that you see two of them in the same tomb, it can be said that even staying here is already taking a huge risk.
Shirley Yang said: "I have heard of bronze coffins. I heard that these coffins are often used to bury corpses after the 'soul seizing ceremony'."
Ding Sitian didn't know much about this aspect, so she curiously asked: "What is the 'soul-stealing ritual'?"
Shirley Yang explained: "Soul seizing is to kill people in a cruel way, use witchcraft to extract the soul from the body, and seal it on the divided organs of the body to refine it into evil spirits."
Then he glanced at the bronze coffin and continued: "The body that has had its soul taken away will change accordingly and become an immortal living dead. In today's terms, it is also a zombie. This kind of thing can explode at any time.
Ordinary coffins cannot contain zombies at all, so tough bronze must be used, and the bronze coffin needs to be locked with heavy copper chains. Finally, a corpse-suppressing bronze mirror must be installed on the outside of the bronze coffin to frighten the corpse inside.
”
Shirley Yang's words can be said to have told the ins and outs of the bronze coffin in great detail.
After Shirley Yang finished speaking, Chen Ziyan walked to the bronze coffin hanging in the air, stretched out his hand to wipe away the dust on it, looked at the coffin body that appeared strangely blue-gray under the light, and said softly: p>
"This bronze coffin is not an ordinary bronze coffin. You see, not only is there a nine-level seal on it, but the ancient corpse-suppressing mirror placed in front of the coffin does not look like an ordinary thing."
Hu Bayi seemed to have thought of something, and said aloud: "Generally, the owners of such hanging coffins are people who seek immortality and seek immortality, so that they will not be exposed to the turbid air after death. This is quite consistent with the king's presentation."
Ah!"
He felt that this most mysterious bronze coffin might very well contain the body of Mr. Xian Wang.
Shirley Yang said: "But this bronze coffin is an outlier in the mausoleum system. Only those who committed the most heinous crimes will be sealed in bronze. How could King Xian create such a shelter for himself?"
This is also a flaw in Hu Bayi's guess. If it were an ordinary coffin, even the mandarin coffin next to it, his statement would be more convincing than this.
Ding Sitian also said: "We previously speculated that this might be the tomb of King Xian and his wife, but there are three coffins here. Whose is the extra one?"
At this time, Chen Ziyan suddenly said: "These three coffins should all be dedicated to the king, and none of them are dedicated to the king."
He has memories about this place, so he naturally knows what the three coffins in front of him are like.
Chen Ziyan knew that if he didn't say anything, then regardless of what would be inside, Hu Bayi and the others would have to open the museum to take a look, so he gave the answer directly.
Hu Bayi and the others immediately looked at Chen Ziyan after hearing this, and Shirley Yang even asked: "Ziyan, what do you mean by this?"
She didn't understand Chen Ziyan's inconsistent words.
Chen Ziyan glanced at the direction he came from, and then said slowly: "The Three Worlds Bridge we just walked through shows that King Xian agrees with the theory of reincarnation, and Taoism has always had a legend about the transformation of three lives into immortality, and these first three lives
Also known as the Three Hells, the final death will be extremely miserable, which fits these coffins, so I think these three coffins should represent the three lives of King Xian, and the real King Xian is most likely not here.
."
After saying this, Chen Ziyan walked to the last stone coffin, pointed at it and said:
"During the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and burial culture became more diversified. Because of different understandings of death, many corresponding burial methods were produced. Among them was a method called curled up burial, which used this form of stone coffin.
In addition, the material of this stone is very precious and it is an extremely rare cold stone, which means that the corpse in the coffin had a very respected status during his lifetime, which is in line with King Xian's understanding of his previous life."
"Three Lives and Three Worlds..." Hu Bayi chewed the word for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "No wonder these three incomparable coffins were placed in the same tomb, so that's what happened!
”
He now basically believes Chen Ziyan's words, because this statement is not only logical, but also corresponds to the architectural layout before and after.
Shirley Yang nodded lightly at first, indicating that she agreed, and then asked: "Where is the real coffin of King Xian? Is it also in this tomb?"
She is more concerned about the location of King Xian's real coffin than the so-called third life of King Xian, because the Muchen Pearl must be in there.
"Maybe it's here, maybe it's not here..." Hu Bayi said with some uncertainty.
Chen Ziyan said categorically: "With King Xian's character, his coffin will definitely not be placed with these past lives. Past lives are just past lives after all, and he may not care much about it."
Although there are many treasures in this tomb, all of which are priceless, Chen Ziyan does not plan to take action now.
The cellar coffin is made of a cellar wood core and is much more expensive than the same amount of gold. However, they can't carry it with them and they have to be careful about the corpse inside, so they can only give up now.

The ancient Legalist mirror on the bronze coffin is a treasure that Chen Ziyan must obtain. But taking off the ancient mirror now will undoubtedly release the contents of the bronze coffin in disguise, so it cannot be done rashly.
So he planned to find King Xian first, get the Muchen Pearl, and then come back to deal with the evil spirits here.
But before Chen Ziyan could say what he wanted to say about leaving, a strange sound suddenly came from the bronze coffin. Before he could react, a faint blue light suddenly lit up from in front of them.
Everyone looked up and saw that there was a doorway in the direction they were facing.
The height of this doorway was much higher than the curved low door they entered through. There were two copper pillars erected on both sides of the doorway that reached directly to the top of the tomb.
These two copper pillars are embedded in the tomb wall. The exposed part is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. Each part has a strange-looking corpse tied to it.
The source of the faint blue flames was the corpses tied to the copper pillars.
After shining the flashlight over them, Chen Ziyan and the others finally saw clearly what these corpses looked like.
I saw that these corpses were all half human and half fish. Although the upper body looked like a woman, the neck was very thin, and there were vague organs like gills on it. The surface of the body was covered with fine black scales, except for the belly.
