Pendulum Master

Chapter 42: Jiu Suo Hanging Coffin

Views:

I just entered the tomb, and I was fortunate that it was so easy to dump the bucket. I didn't need to shovel down to see the five-flowered soil, nor did I need to dig the earth. Driving the car, he happily entered the tomb. Unexpectedly, I was grabbed by my leg and neck with one hand before I even got the fart!

"This scares you, it's just a sacrifice, a dead body!" Zhengyang looked over with helplessness. I took a closer look with a miner’s lamp, and it turned out that there was a headless corpse with my hands hanging on my trousers. It was a false alarm.

Human sacrifice, also known as human sacrifice. Popular in the pre-Qin era, generally used prisoners of war or slaves. According to archaeological records, more than 5,000 people were born or killed in the dozen or so large tombs that have been excavated in the Yinxu industrial tomb area in Anyang. Some were beheaded or sawed hands, feet, etc. Many martyrs also carried instruments of torture. In the Spring and Autumn Period, pottery figurines were gradually used to replace human martyrdom, but large-scale burials took place after the Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Wu of Soochow died in battle, and Sun Quan ordered his concubine to be buried. Five thousand years of history, accompanied by burial, until Ming Yingzong ordered the abolition of burial, except for some sporadic resurrection, the history of burial was officially ended.

"Huh! Why has this sarcophagus been touched again?" Zhengyang was a little puzzled!

I looked anxiously to the center of the tomb, where a sarcophagus head hung in the air from the north to the south. Was dropped by nine thick iron chains. The entire sarcophagus was tied tightly. The nine iron chains protruded from the eight directions of the sarcophagus and were nailed to the lock dragon stone on the wall of the tomb. The thickest iron chain hangs from the dome, hoisting the entire coffin.

"Strange, why is that iron pillar missing?" Zhengyang glanced at the Suolong Stone on the top of the sarcophagus and said something abruptly.

I didn't know what he was talking about, and planned to get closer to the sarcophagus to take a closer look.

The style of the sarcophagus is relatively rough, and the carving is very rough. It consists of two parts, the body of the coffin and the lid of the coffin. The CD is a seamless stone. The nine iron chains were originally hung by nine big locks. The big brass lock that locks the top chain is extremely simple in shape, which makes me shine.

This is a typical Han Dynasty "three bolt lock", the structure of the lock body is similar to that in the costume TV series. This lock is similar to a beast with four hoofs, a long spear passes through the eyes of the hoof as a lock rod. There is a keyhole at the tail of Jumei. There are three reeds similar to a toothed dagger in the keyhole, which can only be opened with a special key. You can't open it even if you smash it. This kind of lock has been in use until the 1950s or so.

"Boy, can you see the doorway where the coffin is placed?" Zhengyang only glanced at it before asking me.

"The head of the coffin is hanging from the north to the south. What way can there be?"

"Face north, do you know what it means?"

When he said this, it suddenly dawned on me. In ancient times, the south was the honor. On the contrary, the North is not only not honorable, but also means defeat. As the ancients said, defeat and rush to the north all means defeat. Suddenly I realized, "Is the owner of this coffin a prisoner of war?"

"Yes! In this coffin is not only a defeated general, but also a master who has undergone a corpse transformation!"

"Zhengyang, where did you see that he had undergone a corpse transformation!"

"This iron chain is a typical nine-child soul-locking chain. This is the method of locking the corpse recorded in the "Tai Ping Zhen Jing"! This method is used when there is a great grievance in the coffin. Suppress!"

"Is this also called the iron lock copper corpse?" I turned over "Maoshan Secret Essentials" in my head. I remember one of them, which was devoted to the iron lock formation. The corpses that need to use the iron lock formation, the level of adult corpses is very high. The chain is also not an ordinary thing. After the peach charcoal is used to melt the iron ore, the boy's three-pointed blood is immediately injected, namely the tip of the nose, the tip of the finger, and the tip of the tongue. In, forged by thousands of hammers. After each forging, black dog blood is used for quenching, so the iron chain is secretly purple.

The sarcophagus was hung with nine iron locks so that the coffin could not touch the ground gas, and then connected to the iron pillars on the top through the hanging chain, accepting the thunder of the sky, introducing electric current, and sealing the grievances in the coffin, so that the contents inside can be immortal. No overbearing. One can imagine how viciously cursed the tomb owner was. Once this nine-child soul-locking chain breaks, it means death to the ordinary tutor!

At the time, Taiping Taoist Yu Ji was very prestigious in the Soochow generation. According to legend, there were eleven or twelve dry ghosts, 76 without bones, and countless souls and ghosts. In order to suppress the soul of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu Jun, a chain of nine sons was specially created. I briefly told Zhengyang what the Maoshan Secret had to record.

"Yes! You are a descendant of Old Man Xia!" For some reason, I was a little uncomfortable with Zhengyang's praise.

The closure of the sarcophagus was not very tight, and there was an obvious gap. You can see the traces of artificial prying. There were also traces of chop under the sarcophagus. Take a closer look, the texture of three of the iron chains is poor, far inferior to the other six, and they must have been replaced later.

"Looking at this situation, this tomb has been stolen long ago! Zhengyang, let's go!"

"Don't worry, the weapon must still be there! Take a closer look at the locks."

I stared at the sarcophagus carefully, and sure enough, there were three other locks. The first is a silver lock with shrimp tail in the Tang Dynasty, and the second is a Fangshen lock in the Song Dynasty. These locks have distinctive features, so I can tell at a glance. When I saw the last lock, my whole person started laughing. Isn't that an earth padlock? "Oh, grandma, a bear, which soil buns hung up on this, hahahaha!" I laughed out of nowhere.

Zhengyang still had no expression on his face, and said faintly, "I hung up the earth lock by myself!" After I heard this, the whole person was stunned, and his instinct told me "Impossible!"

"Zhengyang, when have you been so humorous?"

Zhengyang didn't answer, he drew out the pure Jun sword, and slashed at the lock. A white light flashed and the lock fell into the water. The blade cut off the iron lock, but there was no sound. I was so shocked in my heart that I can only describe this sword as awesome.

A few more white lights flashed, Zhengyang broke several iron chains continuously, and the sword crossed the iron. With a thud, the coffin fell into the stagnant water, splashed with water, splashed me all over, and the whole tomb trembles!

"Zhengyang, are you crazy? This kind of hanging coffin can't fall to the ground, you will die if you fall!"

"Boy, if you want to take advantage of the weapon, don't talk too much!"

A white light flashed, Zhengyang retracted the sword into its sheath. He leaped on the spot, moved towards the lid of the sarcophagus, swept his leg, and with a bang, a big gap was opened in the lid of the coffin. The cover of the sarcophagus weighed three to four hundred catties. It is conceivable that Zhengyang's foot is so powerful that his legs are simply a pair of iron legs!

As the coffin lid was opened, a cyan gloomy light floated from the gap, like a swarm of fireflies, quickly filling the entire tomb.

I braved the courage and leaned into the coffin, where there was a headless corpse, wearing chain mail, a sword pierced through the heart-concealing mirror, and smashed into a deep hole. As you can imagine, the sword’s The penetration is great. The corpse's hands clasped the blade tightly, and the blade was embedded in the flesh. I was frightened to see it. This is too cruel!

"Boy, that sword has returned to its original owner!"

I stared at the sword, my whole body shuddered like an electric shock, an electric current spread from my eyes to the whole body, my breathing gradually increased, and my hands were trembling. That's right, I stared straight at the sword! I yelled almost tremblingly.

green! deep! sword!

I greedily looked at the Qing Ming Sword. Its texture was as gorgeous as a hundred dragons hovering. The blade bloomed out of modest and introverted light. The light turned blue in the dark, just like a blue fish in the deep blue sea. Across. I was trembling all over, and I never dreamed that I would have the "Qing Ming Sword"!

At that time, Emperor Sun Quan used 100-refined steel to forge six swords, "White Rainbow", "Purple Light", "Evil Guarding", "Liucheng" (Meteor), "Bai Li" and "Qing Ming".

On the sword of Qingming Sword, there is an inscription "Qing Qing Mingming, the ghosts and gods are still feasting" on the hanging money seal.

I approached the sarcophagus and stretched out my hand to draw a sword, and the sword burst into a weird light in an instant! There was a voice in my ear, "Are you coming?" It was a low male voice.

"careful!"

The sound of Zhengyang wakes me up. Half of my body was plunged into the sarcophagus, and my hand was placed on a copper nail in the coffin, about to pull it off.

"This thing is wicked, it has only been thirty years, and I actually learned the Ecstasy!"

I was still in a state of confusion, "What is Ecstasy!" I speak like a robot, without any emotion. Zhengyang frowned and patted my shoulder with his hand. I suddenly recovered and looked at the sarcophagus close to the side. There was a copper nail nailed. The nail was very special and seemed to have been nailed many times. In the coffin there is still a piece of azure porcelain after rain. I stared at the coffin for a while before Zhengyang said the second sentence.

"Boy, it's okay! Just now your spiritual intelligence was briefly controlled by it, and it has been summoned back by me!"

"Isn't it? That thing is so evil?"

"With me, what are you afraid of? Go and look at the aspirations embedded on the wall over there!"

I walked to the south wall of the tomb in front of the base. There is a square piece of Kuaizhi inlaid on it. Kuaizhi is the epitaph with inscriptions like Li Fei Li and Kai Fei Kai. The effect is that the Dongye people of Huiji County followed the spring and rebelled against Sun Quan. Lv Dai was ordered to march south and compiled the story of Suichun, worshiping him as a lieutenant, and quelling Li Huan and Luhe. Throughout the epitaph, in a condescending tone, he continues to accuse Suichun of being capricious and guilty of death.

"Is this the tomb of Suichun from Dongwu of the Three Kingdoms?"

"Yeah!" Zhengyang nodded, pointed to a few murals on the east wall, and motioned for me to go and watch.

I walked in front of the east tomb wall, raised the searchlight, and looked at the murals carefully.

On the first mural, there is a general, under the supervision of a man who looks like an eunuch, with a painful expression, commanding a man and a horse to attack an army with the same clothes as him! Browsing down the mural, it turned out that the general carried two human heads and made contributions to a burly general with gorgeous armor. After that, there were several fragments of the general's life, all of which appeared depressed and painful. In the last fresco, the general seemed to be at the court. He had his top worn off, his hands were clipped, and he was dragged down. Obviously, this general was deprived of his official position because of some sin. Judging from the scene in the coffin, he must have been beheaded. Otherwise, how can you explain the headless corpse

Just when I finished browsing the murals, I found that the tomb wall was a little weird. I opened my eyes and looked carefully, and found that besides the shadow of Zhengyang and myself, there was also a vague shadow! There are only two of us in the tomb. How could there be a third shadow? I was about to cry, and hurriedly asked Zhengyang: "Whose shadow is that?" (to be continued) (end of this chapter)
