Wu Sansheng took another puff of cigarette and started talking.
"The cause of the whole thing is what happened that night fifty years ago written in your grandfather's notebook."
"You know roughly what I was like when I was young. At that time, I happened to see that notebook one day and saw that incident."
"After reading it, almost immediately, I wanted to go to Biaoziling and look for the bloody corpse tomb. After all, according to the records in the notes, something happened to your grandfather and the others almost as soon as they went there. The bright artifact in that tomb
They are all still there.”
"Unfortunately, it was too long ago. When I inquired about it, I found out that Biaoziling is a local name, not an official place name. I couldn't find where Biaoziling is at all."
"Later, I had no choice but to give up, but I kept thinking about it. It wasn't until a year before I went to Sansha that I finally had a breakthrough and knew the location of the bloody corpse tomb."
"After I found out, I immediately packed up my equipment and set off."
"I spent many days wandering in the mountains, and finally arrived near the bloody corpse tomb. Unexpectedly, several camouflage tents appeared in that place, and a group of foreigners were moving there, obviously looking for the bloody corpse tomb.
Corpse tomb."
"I was angry and confused at the time. I spent so much effort to finally find the blood corpse tomb, only to be intercepted by a group of foreigners? How on earth did those foreigners know that there was a blood corpse tomb there?
of?"
"Originally, according to the rules, others had taken the lead, so I had to wait even if I didn't leave. But I was unwilling to do so, so I thought that I didn't have to tell any rules with foreigners, and the group of foreigners hadn't found them yet.
As for the specific location of the blood corpse tomb, I dug holes from the side and worked quietly."
Wu Sansheng told the story of robbing the tomb.
After saying that, Wu Sansheng took out a small ivory box from his backpack and opened it.
There was a black, very ugly pebble-like thing in the box.
"This is what I brought out from that bloody corpse tomb."
Wu Xie looked at it carefully, "Isn't this just a stone?"
When Ding Ze heard this, he felt it was time to speak, "It's not a stone, it's probably the elixir of immortality."
As soon as these words came out.
Wu Sansheng and Wu Xie were both shocked and turned to look at Ding Ze.
"Have you seen this kind of elixir?" Wu Sansheng asked.
"Elixir of immortality! Is this it?" Wu Xie couldn't believe it.
Ding Ze smiled and said to Wu Sansheng, "It seems I guessed it right. I haven't seen it, so I just guessed it."
Wu Sansheng couldn't accept this explanation, "How did you deduce it?"
"Based on the situation in the blood corpse tomb you described," Ding Ze replied with a smile, "I think you two won't give up until we ask clearly, so I'll just tell you."
"The bloody corpse tomb is obviously related to the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty under the Lu Palace and the Yunding Tiangong."
"In the palace of King Lu, King Mu of Zhou turned into a bloody corpse, and King Shang of Lu occupied the magpie's nest. When we found him, he was not dead yet."
"I have always suspected that the reason why King Lu Shang survived was not only the jade figurine, but also probably some kind of elixir! After all, in that era, there were all kinds of elixirs for immortality, and the emperor liked them.
People research.”
"Now, after listening to Third Uncle, you tell me what happened in the Blood Corpse Tomb, I think my guess has been confirmed."
"King Lu Shang must have swallowed this elixir... This elixir and the jade figurine should complement each other and work on each other. Without one, King Lu Shang would not be able to live for that long."
"Then, considering that there is a corpse turtle in the elixir, the corpse turtle can also turn people into a blood corpse... Combined with the fact that King Zhou Mu turned into a blood corpse after his jade figurine was stripped."
"That jade figurine will definitely be able to restrain the corpse turtle in the elixir."
Ding Ze said in one breath, "Also, don't forget, when we found King Lu Shang, there were still a lot of shed human skins in his coffin... Those human skins are enough to prove that King Lu Shang swallowed some kind of
Pill."
Is there anything wrong with this rhetoric?
There's nothing wrong with it, just one...
Wu Xie frowned and asked, "Even if King Lu Shang really swallowed some kind of elixir, it might not be this. King Lu's palace is far away from the Blood Corpse Tomb."
Ding Ze smiled, "This involves another speculation of mine. I believe that the owner of the Blood Corpse Tomb is the military advisor beside King Lu Shang, Tie Mian Sheng."
Wu Xie was shocked and couldn't understand, "How can you say this?"
"The iron-faced man who pretended to die has disappeared, right? Then he has to go somewhere... Then think about the things that appeared in the blood corpse tomb, the murals of strange human-faced birds, the elixir containing corpse turtles, the Warring States period
The silk book... There are too many connections between the Blood Corpse Tomb and the Lu Palace, and it cannot be a coincidence."
Wu Xie was thoughtful.
Wu Sansheng had already understood, "So, Mr. Ding, what you are saying is that after King Lu Shang lay in the coffin, Tie Miansheng went to the Royal Palace of Lu, took away the Warring States silk books and several pills, and ran to Biaoziling.
Built that bloody corpse tomb..."
"But the owner of the tomb in the Blood Corpse Tomb is not as dead as King Lu Shang."
Ding Ze nodded, "This is normal."
"On the one hand, this kind of elixir obviously has flaws. It must be restrained with that kind of jade figurine. Otherwise, if you eat it, you will turn into a bloody corpse in a short time..."
"On the other hand, this elixir is actually useless. Although King Lu Shang is alive, is that really alive?"
"Tie Mian Sheng was obviously smarter than King Lu Shang, or had more information. He faked his death, deceived King Lu Shang, and went to the palace of Lu to take away the elixirs and Warring States silk books, but he did not take away the jade figurines from King Lu Shang.
Taking it off is enough to show that he does not intend to be like King Lu Shang."
"I guess that he must want to improve the method of immortality... The location of the blood corpse tomb must not have been randomly chosen by Tie Miansheng. There must be some special circumstances inside the tomb."
"Of course, he didn't succeed in the end, and he didn't swallow those pills until he died."
Wu Sansheng completely understood and nodded, "It does make sense."
Although Wu Xie was still confused, he roughly understood it, and also realized a problem, "So, let's talk about it, this elixir was not made by King Lu Shang or Tien Miansheng, but by King Mu of Zhou
?”
"No," Ding Ze shook his head, "Innocent, have you noticed that the effect of this elixir on people is, from a certain perspective, similar to those of the strange human-faced birds and the Wannu King in Yunding Heavenly Palace?
But not that powerful?”
Wu Xie was stunned and thought for a while. Suddenly, his mind was shaken and he realized what Ding Ze was talking about. He was shocked and said, "Brother Ding, you mean to transform the kind of human-faced monster bird and Wannu King."
Man, he went a step further and created this kind of elixir, trying to prevent people from turning into monsters like King Wannu, and then still live forever?"
"Well, that's what I mean," Ding Ze smiled, "This is a normal experimental process. That group of people may have started with some small animals, such as those centipedes. After the experiment was successful, they would
After upgrading, we created that kind of strange human-faced bird with a long lifespan."
"Then, we officially started experimenting on humans and created a monster like King Wannu."
"Obviously, King Wannu's experiment was not successful, so that group of people continued their research and developed this elixir."
There was a pause.
Ding Ze took a long breath and said, "Innocent, you know, if my guess is right."
"Then, it is very possible that somewhere, there are people who have lived for thousands of years. Perhaps they are still alive today, and they are still in a normal human state, jumping around."
