After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he hunched over and tiptoed towards the altar. The entire hall on the second floor was made of wooden structure, with brackets at both ends, suspended in mid-air. After thousands of years of corrosion, it no longer
Strong. When Chen Zhi walked on it, the entire hall kept shaking slightly, and there was a creaking sound on the floor.
The altar on the second floor is very gorgeous. The platform is made of a single piece of white marble, surrounded by white marble railings. Now it is full of marks and is no longer white and smooth. On the pillars of the railings, there are fox statues of different shapes and the Fox Village Ancestral Hall.
The statues are very similar. Some are squatting, some are lying, and all of them have their mouths open, showing sharp teeth, frightening the living.
Chen Zhi and others walked to the altar and saw that the tablets on the altar were even bigger than they looked from a distance, as tall as a person.
The tablet was carved from wood, with fine carvings and golden patterns on it. The golden color has faded over time, but you can imagine that it used to be golden.
"Look at the bird inscription written on this tablet, do you recognize it?" Fat Wei asked Chen Zhidao, his hands never idle to pull things into the bag.
Chen Zhi took a look and saw that the huge tablet was written in the ancient Qin style, which was the font on the "Fengshenzha" that Mr. Bao had taken out. Since the last time he saw the "Fengshenzha", Chen Zhi had
Zhi has done some research on the ancient Qin style, and he can recognize the general ancient Qin style characters. What is written on this tablet is, "The legitimate son of my lord Xuanhu Jun is seated by the god Su Baiqian."
The boy wrote, "I will pay tribute to you forever."
Chen Zhi softly read the words on the tablet to everyone. Then he said, "The person enshrined in this temple is Bai Qian. It seems that we have found the right place." Chen Zhi took another look at the small words on the tablet and said,
"This tablet should have been erected by her slaves. The question is who is the sacred slave who enshrines her? Is Bai Qian alive or dead now? Where are her remains buried?"
At this time, Fat Wei approached the altar. He walked around the ground in front of the altar several times and said to everyone, "I still have sharp eyes. Come and take a look. Are there any words engraved here?"
Chen Zhi and others walked over after hearing the sound and looked under the altar. It turned out that there was a white marble slab there. Chen Zhi had seen this kind of stone slab. Before the Han Dynasty, the ancients were used to placing the altar when offering sacrifices to gods or ancestors.
A stone slab is placed underneath for kneeling and worshiping. The name of the person being sacrificed is often engraved on it, such as "so and so, I enshrine my ancestors above" to show loyalty and filial piety.
Chen Zhi gently wiped the dust off the stone slab with his hand, and carefully identified it. The stone slab was also engraved in ancient Qin style, but the carving was very shallow and had been polished to the point where it could not be seen clearly. Without paying attention, he saw that there were also words engraved here.
.
"This should be written by Bai Qian's divine slave, addressed to his descendants," Chen Zhi looked at it and said.
Fat Wei was anxious, "What is written on it? Read it quickly and don't be too pretentious."
Chen Zhi carefully identified the words on the stone platform and read, "I, the descendants of the Hulu clan, listen to the instructions. My Hulu clan is the family slave of the Su family of the Sky Fox God. The temple was built in honor of my master, the god Su Bai.
To the east of the Qian Shen Tomb, you need to worship from generation to generation, the incense will last forever, and you will be buried with you after death. It is a serious sin."
Fatty was so impressive that he said, "Big Chengzi, show off how educated you are, right? Please speak in human language, not bird language. I have a low education and can't understand you."
Chen Zhi suppressed his anger and translated to him softly: "A long time ago, there was a man named Hulu. He was Bai Qian's servant, and his scientific name was Shennu. This Huru built a house to the east of Bai Qian's tomb.
This temple, in order to allow his descendants to continue to worship Bai Qian, so that the incense will last forever. It also requires his descendants to be buried with Bai Qian in his tomb after death, so there must be no mistake. Do you understand now?"
Fat Wei suddenly realized, "Oh my god, isn't this a perversion? I went to work as a slave for others, but after my death I didn't do enough. I forced my descendants to be slaves and were buried with them. Damn it! It's really embarrassing to have such ancestors.
"Pang Wei cursed.
Chen Zhi glanced at him helplessly and continued, "Now the whole story is clear. It seems that the living foxes in the Fox Village are not Bai Qian's blood, but Bai Qian's divine slaves, descendants of the Hulu clan.
With the changes of the times, the Hulu family later changed their surname to Hu.
Thousands of years ago, Bai Qian may have really been here and lived here. But for some reason, she left. But she did not take away her divine slave, and his divine slave stayed here.
, reproduced offspring, and worshiped Bai Qian in the temple of his former residence for generations. As time went by, the legend of the bloodline of the fox fairy and the living fox was left."
"So, the old lady in the village who is a living fox is not of immortal blood, so how can she be immortal?" Fat Wei asked.
"This is the question I am questioning," Chen Zhi said. "It is clearly written on this stone platform that you need to worship from generation to generation, the incense will last forever, and you will be buried with you after death. That is to say, this slave named Hulu's slave is not
An immortal god will die normally just like ordinary humans. That living fox can live for so many years is very problematic," Chen Zhi said.
"Oh! Never mind it! Let's bring some light tools quickly and find an exit first. It doesn't matter if it's a real fox or a fake fox." Fat Wei said and started to use a knife to pry off the gem carvings on the altar. Along the way, Fat Wei
Wei received a lot of goods. It turned out that he had brought a big woven bag with him. Now he has picked up a big bag from the Human Sacrifice Array, all of which are gold and jade artifacts. If Fat Wei goes out this time, he will probably become rich immediately.
Already.
"Don't just sit there, help pry these objects, and I'll have your share when they come out." Fat Wei shouted, opening the wooden lattice under the altar and getting in.
"Oh my God!" Fat Wei shouted, got out of the wooden lattice, and shouted: "Come quickly, there is a fresh one here."
Chen Zhi and others hurriedly ran over and took a look. It turned out that there was a female corpse lying in the wooden grid under the altar. She must have died recently and her eyes were not cloudy yet. Even if the face of the corpse turned into ashes, Chen Zhi would still recognize it.
, is wheat ear.
It is absolutely true that what is lying there is the body of Maisui'er. To be precise, it is a corpse similar to that of a human being. The skin of the corpse has been treated with unknown drugs. It is dry and wrinkled, and is piled loosely, like a centenarian.
The skin. The joints of the limbs of the corpse had been twisted and turned in the opposite direction. The fingers and toes had been cut off long ago, and the scars on them were all old. Such corpses were piled there like dead demons.
It makes people feel chilly in their hearts.
"This is probably the secret of the immortality of a living fox," Chen Zhi said while looking at Fat Wei. In his surprised eyes, he slowly revealed all the truth.
