People are in Zong Tomb, dismounting the ridge and stealing the chief. Chapter 325: King Xian’s whims
"Is this Nanhai Friendship?"
After seeing the full picture of these strange corpses, Ding Sitian couldn't help but speak.
For a person who studies pharmacology intensively, such a legendary creature is a highly coveted and precious material.
The only pity is that these friends have been dead for who knows how long and have been made into immortal candles. It seems that the valuable parts of their bodies have been taken away long ago, leaving only this intimidating body.
"Jiaoren? Isn't that the ancient name for manatees?" Hu Bayi looked at these black-scaled friends with some confusion. This was the first time he had seen this kind of creature. In the past, he had only heard of it in Jingguizhiyi.
Passed.
"It is indeed true, but apart from proving the real existence of this creature, it has no other value." Chen Ziyan replied softly.
The corpses of these surrendered people were hard and dark, and had been specially treated, otherwise they would have rotted away long ago.
Then he adjusted the light beam of the flashlight and saw six corpses arranged on both sides of the copper pillar. They were all pierced with pipa bones and locked on top. They were crouching and kneeling to greet people, as if they were welcoming people gradually.
Good promotion.
The mouths of the strangers are all open wide, and there is a white object similar to asbestos in the throat. There is a piece of tinder stuck in the dry tongue. The slightly dull blue light comes from here.
Hu Bayi poked the person at the bottom with the barrel of his gun and exclaimed: "Although this thing looks quite anthropomorphic, it is nothing like the mermaid in the story. I don't think the zoo will accept it for fear of being scared."
For the children who went to visit, there is such a specimen in the museum, which should be a very respectable thing."
After all, it is a species that occupies a place in Chinese and foreign legends of monsters. Even if only such a shriveled body is left, it is not inferior to any of the funerary objects seen before.
"If you like it, I will give you one when I get back and put it in your living room." Chen Ziyan joked.
Although if this thing was really taken out, it would definitely cause a shock, but he really didn't pay much attention to it. He really dared to give it to Hu Bayi as long as he nodded.
After all, for Chen Ziyan, there is still value if it is handed over alive, but such a hollowed-out dead object has only the use of being displayed in a museum.
"Then forget it, I can't bear to accept this treasure! It's more appropriate to send it to a museum, which can also fill the gap in this field!" Hu Bayi declined in a hurry.
Although Chen Ziyan's words were most likely a joke, he knew that Chen Ziyan could really do such a thing, so it was better to nip it in the bud.
He has no interest in this thing at all. If he really puts such a thing at home, he will simply make himself uncomfortable.
After finishing speaking, in order to completely change the topic, Hu Bayi took the initiative to say: "This friend is obviously the tomb owner's longevity candle. Normally, there are ordinary candlesticks in the underground palace. I didn't expect Mr. Xian Wang to find so many candlesticks."
It takes a lot of effort to hire someone to make a candlestick."
Shirley Yang heard this and said: "Actually, this is not the first time that this kind of intercourse has been discovered. Not to mention the mermaid bones found in the world, just a few years ago, the U.S. Navy once captured one in the deep sea."
After all, she graduated from the Naval Academy, and many of her classmates served there, so she knew a lot of secret information that was not known to the outside world.
Ding Sitian also nodded: "That's true. We often catch Jiaoren in our coastal areas, but the number is extremely rare."
Since even people like Shirley Yang, who is outside the system, can know this, then naturally she, a professional in this field, will not lack this information.
When Hu Bayi heard what the two women said, he asked with some surprise: "Then...why haven't I heard the letter?"
He now feels quite out of touch with the times. Why does he feel that everyone knows these things, but he is the only one who has not heard of them?
Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Ziyan: "Mr. Chen, do you also know?"
"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen it." Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly, and then expressed his thoughts: "Actually, this kind of thing is simple. This kind of thing is not suitable for ordinary people to know, so it is just a matter of concealing it.
It’s not something difficult to understand.”
After hearing what the two women said, he felt that it would be impossible to put these immortal candles in a museum. Eighty percent of them were secrets that ordinary people could not know.
However, Chen Ziyan doesn't care about this aspect. He doesn't know how many ancient tombs and tombs are waiting for him to visit. It doesn't matter whether there are these few people.
He retracted his scattered thoughts and looked into the doorway supported by two copper pillars.
And the moment Chen Ziyan cast his gaze over, two groups of faint blue flames suddenly lit up again in the dark doorway.
With the help of the blue flames, Chen Ziyan also saw what was going on inside. It was not the passage he had thought before, but a sealed stone cave. Next to the door was a stone step about half a meter wide.
There is an immortal candle on the left and right sides of the stone steps.
But compared to the longevity candles outside, the longevity candle that appeared in front of them at this time undoubtedly made everyone feel more terrifying.
Because the raw materials of these two immortal candles are actually two fat boys of eleven or twelve years old. They kneel down and prostrate themselves in the same posture as those outside. However, their faces are not ferocious. Instead, they lower their heads and close their eyes very peacefully. They look impressive.
The gesture of welcoming a child.
The wicks of these two immortal candles were placed at the navel, with a long part protruding out. I guess the boy's body must be filled with lamp oil.
Seeing that children were used as raw materials, Shirley Yang sighed: "Indian Gandhi once pointed out the seven deadly sins that destroy mankind, two of which are: science without humanity; politics without morality. These children may not even be able to restore the world."
Without a clear understanding, we fell victim to the immortal imaginations of ancient rulers."
Chen Ziyan glanced at the two welcoming boys and said softly: "It was common before the Ming Dynasty to bury boys and girls, but as people's understanding of the world increased, this inhumane system gradually disappeared.
”
Although he came from the era of information explosion and knew very well that even decades later, human beings' bad nature has not curbed at all, but there is no need to say this at this time.
Then Chen Ziyan shined his flashlight on the bronze medal in the hand of the welcoming boy and said: "It says 'receiving immortals and inducing saints'. It's obviously like in the legend. The function of this kind of welcoming boy is to welcome guests to the king."
Lead the way."
Then he looked at the stone platform above. There was no light on this stone platform, but there was also a copper lamp. It was a pure black copper lamp about ten times larger than the lead boy, and it almost occupied the stone platform.
Most of the area.
This copper lamp was cast in the shape of a bull's head. It looks vigorous and simple, and has a unique charm that originated from the wilderness.
It's just that the wick inside was too heavy and fell to the ground at some point, so it didn't light up because the air entered the tomb like it did when delivering a hand or picking up a boy.
"The previous interlocutors and the pick-up boy all had their own opinions, but what's going on with this giant bull head?" Hu Bayi frowned and looked at the giant bull-headed lantern, and asked in confusion.
Although he had known for a long time that the Xuan Palace built by King Xian would not completely follow the tomb system and contained his own ideas, he was still very surprised by the abrupt ox-headed lantern.
Chen Ziyan did not respond immediately, but was also thinking about this issue.
Although he knew about the existence of this giant bull-headed lantern, he really didn’t know its origin and function.
Looking at the pick-up boy inadvertently, Chen Ziyan seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly: "Old Hu, can you tell the direction now?"
Because of the chaotic magnetic field here, the compasses and other objects in their hands have long lost their accuracy. In addition, they have been going in and out of the underground all the way, so Chen Ziyan now has no sense of direction.
Hearing Chen Ziyan's question, although Hu Bayi was a little confused, he still nodded: "Yes."
In fact, it's not that he can tell the direction on the spot, but he has always paid attention to this, so even if the magnetic field is chaotic, he can still tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
After getting this answer, Chen Ziyan pointed to the cow-headed lantern in front of him and asked: "Which direction is this?"
"Dong!" Hu Bayi immediately answered.
Hearing this answer, which was the same as his own, Chen Ziyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "I think I already know the purpose of this ox-headed lantern."
When others heard this, they all looked at Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan did not deliberately sell anything, and slowly expressed his guess: "I think this should be an entrance, a special entrance."
"We all know that King Xian lost his ambition and became an immortal. The murals in the Ming Tower above can also prove this. Do you still remember the old man on the mural?"
"Old man?" Hu Bayi's mind turned quickly and he immediately said: "Master Chen, what do you mean?"
He probably understood what Chen Ziyan said, but he couldn't believe it. If this was really the case, then King Xian would be too ambitious.
Chen Ziyan nodded to him: "Just as you think about it, King Xian felt that he would become the king of immortals after his death, so he needed someone to respectfully invite him to heaven, and whether it was the ox-headed lantern or the boy who led the way,
It was prepared by King Xian for this purpose."
"Good boy! This grandson really dares to think!" Hu Bayi couldn't help but bared his teeth.
Even though he is a modern person, he is also shocked by King Xian's whims.
Shirley Yang was confused and couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about?"
Ding Sitian didn't understand either, so she urged: "Yes, can you make it clearer?"
Chen Ziyan glanced at the bull-headed lantern again, and then explained in detail: "There is a saying called Purple Qi coming from the east. I think you all have heard of it. According to legend, the mount of the Taoist ancestor Laozi was a green bull, and this giant
The ox-headed lantern is facing east and west, which is exactly the posture of coming to visit. I think I don’t need to say more."
After all, Shirley Yang grew up in a foreign country and believed in the religion there, so her reaction to these things was slower.
But Ding Sitian understood Chen Ziyan's meaning immediately, and finally understood why he and Hu Bayi reacted like that. They were really right. King Xian's idea was simply fantastic.
Although Shirley Yang was a little slower, she quickly understood the joints and said: "This is really a bold idea, but it is not an exaggeration to think about it. After all, King Xian regards himself as the Emperor of Heaven."
By the way, change the source app to anyanapp version.】
Chen Ziyan nodded: "Yeah, thinking about the content of the mural, I'm not so surprised."
"This is really how bold people are and how rich the land is." Hu Bayi said with a hint of mockery.
Prick, prick, prick——
At this moment, harsh scratching sounds suddenly came from the bronze coffin behind them.
This made several people instantly alert, and they no longer wanted to think about the giant bull-headed lantern. They all quickly turned around and looked at the bronze coffin.
Chen Ziyan clearly saw that the bronze coffin began to shake slightly at this time, and it was obvious that the things inside had woken up.
However, he was not too worried, because he knew that as long as the ancient Legalist mirror was still there, the contents of the bronze coffin could not be overturned. This was probably the limit.
Hu Bayi didn't have Chen Ziyan's confidence. Seeing this, he quickly asked: "Master Chen, what should we do now?"
Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said: "We have also seen this tomb. There should be no other exits, so we have to stay here for a while. Just in case, let's wake up the fat man first." p>
He knew it would not be so easy next time, so he planned to wake up Wang Kaixuan so that the team's combat effectiveness could be fully unleashed.
Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."
Although he also wanted Wang Kaixuan to have more benefits, he also knew that it was no better than before. Just look at the situation in this tomb and know that it was a cellar coffin and a bronze coffin. Even the stone coffin may not be as good as before.
Something to match.
It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, Wang Kaixuan's state will no longer be a burden. Maybe he will be blamed here by accident.
Hu Bayi was not a nagging person, so he did as he was told. He immediately took Wang Kaixuan back to the tomb, found a remote corner, and lifted Wang Kaixuan's mask.
At this time, Wang Kaixuan still had a black donkey's hoof stuffed in his mouth. Thanks to the protective suit's ample space and good elasticity, otherwise such a black donkey's hoof wouldn't be able to fit in.
After looking at Wang Kaixuan, whose eyes were blank and his expression was dull, Chen Ziyan looked at Ding Sitian beside him: "Sitian, I will pull out the black donkey's hoof later, and you will do it immediately!"
After seeing Ding Si's dessert head, Hu Bayi took a deep breath, then pinched Wang Kaixuan's chin with one hand to prevent him from shutting up, and pulled out the black donkey's hoof with the other hand like lightning.
.
And the moment Hu Bayi pulled away the black donkey's hoof, a female howl immediately sounded from Wang Kaixuan's mouth, and the confusion in his eyes began to turn towards madness.
But before he could make a move, Ding Sitian, who was already prepared, had already swung the knife in her hand.
I saw a cold light flash under the light, and the sharp howl suddenly stopped, and then a line of blood followed the sharp blade and sputtered out of Wang Kaixuan's mouth, and the sarcoma that looked like a human head was in it.
