I yelled "Be careful!"
Zhengyang nodded and held it very carefully. Soon, a rat-headed man with gilt and blue face and fangs was taken out of the bag, and there were many patterns carved on the peculiar surface.
Although Zhengyang is much higher than me in Taoism skills, he doesn't know much about these weird historical knowledge. He carefully held the rathead and asked me "What is this?" I took it with both hands. , Took a closer look. "Back then, Stein found a rat-headed statue in Dandan Ulik, Xinjiang. This is the totem of Gaochang Kingdom!"
In the ancient city of Yotkan, this kind of thing appeared in large numbers, and the experts concluded that it was the main god who was worshipping in the temple. But burying him in the tomb has never been discovered by the archaeological community. This may have something to do with the tomb owner during his lifetime. As for why he wanted to bury this thing with him, I am not too good to say. But the owner of the tomb would never use this kind of burial, because this kind of rathead appeared much later than the tomb. "This may be put in by posterity!"
We checked this baggage again. The contents inside were already carbonized and turned to ashes when touched, so it was not clear what else was there.
I looked around the totem and found nothing. We walked back again, and there was darkness behind, not knowing how deep it was.
"Look, there is also a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!" I stared at the Buddha statue carefully, exactly the same as the upper level. Next to the Buddha statue is a dense lacquer box filled with whole bundles of hemp paper scrolls. The text is very different from today's Tripitaka. These papers have gone through thousands of years, and we dare not move them easily.
Soon a scripture caught my attention. There was a story written by Gu Li, which is similar to the Jin manuscript of the Three Kingdoms. There is no reference book here, and there are some key points that I can't understand. So wrap this scroll and put it in a backpack.
In those lacquer boxes, there are many plant seeds and some daily necessities. It doesn't attract me too much. In one of the boxes, there is a set of colored brocade, which is exactly the same as the woven silk "Five Stars Out of the East and Benefit China" unearthed by Niya. It is a very obvious Shu brocade, which means Sui Xing, Ying Zhu Xing, Filling Xing, Taibai Xing and Chen Xing. The world turns, the sun and the moon pass, and the five stars are difficult to converge. However, in October of the first year of the Han Dynasty, the five stars gathered in Dongjing, which was beneficial to China. Once the five-star collection is in the West, it will be detrimental to China.
I also opened some lacquer boxes. There were many bamboo slips in them, probably from the records of Buddhist temples in the Khotan Kingdom, which shows the prosperity of Buddhism in the Western Regions. I opened another lacquer box, and Gu Li actually wrote a line in it, "Xia Ji, I know you are coming!" I saw my scalp numb, and I sat back.
Zhengyang stood by and looked at me, and asked softly: "What's the matter?"
I shook my head, saying that I didn't know, and I really didn't know.
To be honest, we didn't find anything special in Xiangdian, because these things have archaeological value, and the purpose of our trip is not to fight back, so I put the cultural relics back intact.
On the altar table of Xiangdian, the ever-bright light had been extinguished a long time ago, and the wine and fruit inside a few boxes and copper jue were all dried up, and the shape was not visible at all.
Going further in, we see the end of Xiangdian, where there is also a jade gate, which is made of four pieces of white marble. The shaft is wrapped with a hundred-legged dragon made of colored glaze, and the lintel is embossed with music and dance pictures. , There is a door carved on one side, and a woman stretches out half of her head. The scientific name of this kind of door is called the half-hidden door of women, and it has been popular since the Tang Dynasty. I really didn't know that this shape appeared during the Three Kingdoms period. It seems that ancient things have been passed down in order for thousands of years. The door was hidden, and the running stone broke in half in the middle.
"Obviously someone went in ahead of us!" I wondered if it would be Li Dazui and the others.
According to the traditional structure of the tomb, you enter the tomb after you pass the Xiangdian. Suddenly I realized that I still had one important thing I had not done, so I returned to the temple and went straight to the stupa. The relic is a rare treasure in the world. If you get one, you will be able to suppress my spiritual body, and will not recruit ghosts like this!
"Don't touch the stupa, it's dangerous!"
"I'll take out the relic for you, you need this thing."
I am very grateful to look at Zhengyang, the stupa really has an exquisite structure. It's all in one, and you can't even see the cracks the size of your hair. It's exquisite and clear with a shot of a Gong Yezhu. I reached out and touched the tower, and a wave of it spread across my body along my fingertips. It was bitterly cold. There are four windows on each floor of the tower. Under Zhengyang's manipulation, it seems to be playing with a Rubik's Cube. Soon, on one side of the tower, there are twenty-eight windows every seven connected in the same line. Zhengyang gently pushed the entire tower body, and the tower opened like a box with a golden box inside.
I took out the gold box, opened a silver box from the inside, and then took out an ivory box from the silver box. Finally, from the ivory box, take out a pure wooden box. Opening the box, the golden light filled the hall, which was a bit dazzling. That is a mani bead, the Buddha's parietal relic.
There are only 16 well-documented Buddha relics in the world today, and there are 13 in China. The rest are in Nepal, Japan and Thailand. And I got one, and I was overjoyed, took out the Jinpa wrapped in a wooden box and took it with me. Zhengyang placed the stupa again before we turned around and left the temple.
I thought about it, and walked about two hundred meters before I walked into the tomb.
The tomb was empty, there was no mural, only a coffin was placed in the middle. The wood of the coffin was extremely thin. If it weren't for a dry place like the Western Regions, there would be no residue left. Zhengyang and I walked forward to take a closer look at the wooden coffin.
The coffin was completely carved from a piece of Populus euphratica. The two ends of the coffin retained a similar boat-shaped head, which was hollowed out, just enough for a person to lie down. Covered with a whole piece of Populus euphratica plank, nailed with wooden nails, it is just like Xiaohe. The coffins in the cemetery are similar in shape. The coffin seemed to have been pried open, revealing a gap. Looking at the traces of sawdust, it is estimated that it will not exceed half a month.
Zhengyang and I exchanged glances and expressed that we would open the coffin. I took out the iron lamp that Lu Jianguo lent me and placed it on the foot of the wall. Zhengyang and I assisted both sides of the coffin lid, moved it vigorously, and opened it. There was a "foreign friend" with blond hair and blue eyes lying inside, his whole body shriveled, and his body seemed to have been absorbed. The foreigner had high eyes and deep nose, his face was extremely distorted, a cut was made in his throat, and the blood was drained.
"How did these people get in?" I can be sure that to enter from the surface, there is only the quicksand tomb that must be passed. They cannot enter before us. Then there is only one possibility, they came in from other places.
"There is something under him!"
When we moved the foreigner, we only got up half of our body, and we saw a mummy underneath. It was dressed like a Loulan beauty. The skin was completely dry but abnormally smooth due to moisture loss. The eyes were sunken, and the mouth was opened due to skin shrinkage. It's a big deal, let's talk about the foreigner again, feeling caught by something. Upon closer inspection, the corpse actually hugged the foreigner around his waist, as if he didn't want me to pull it up.
"Damn! It's not a corpse fraud, right?" I was taken aback. I encountered the corpse fraud several times, leaving a serious shadow in my heart. "This thing is not a person at all!" Zhengyang's eyes gushed out cold light, damn, everyone knows that it is not a person, so what the hell is she
"Human skin puppet!" When I heard this, I almost fell in fright. I took a closer look at which guy, although it has the appearance of a mummy, the skeleton of the body really betrayed it.
"Maoshan Secret Yao" records that "the most important witchcraft in the kingdom of Yutian is to skin the puppets to protect the tombs." To put it bluntly, this thing is the town tomb beast, responsible for guarding the entrance of the tomb. It's just that the inland uses stone beasts and the like to guard them. Witchcraft prevailed in the Western Regions, and people believed that people were the most effective, so they simply used people as puppets. This kind of thing is so evil, you are not afraid of Taoism at all, and even machine guns are difficult to kill.
The corpse stood upright with a "swish", without a slight bend in the knee, the foreigner was ejected with a bang, hit the tomb wall, and fell to pieces. The mummy stood in the coffin, opened his empty eyes, his upper limbs and lower limbs looked very uncoordinated and swayed. It opened its mouth and seemed to be laughing, without any sound.
It slowly jumped down from the coffin, hit the floor with a loud bang...
That thing flew towards me, and Lao Tzu looked bad? Why are all things coming to me, and there is someone over there, and you challenge him. Isn't it more sense of accomplishment? I stepped back several steps, the mechanized movement of the corpse moved towards me, and its two paws were actually opened.
The corpse iron claw hand came out like a wheel, it attacked head-on, and then retreated. I and the mummy faced each other, and when it pounced, I leaped back. The iron claw caught it like a wheel, and I was lucky enough to escape it. I always kept a distance from this guy, and I left room to see the mystery in this set of iron claws. I saw it pounced with his left hand, making it grab my ears again. Suddenly he grasped the same from top to bottom, although his position changed, his posture was the same as before. It turned out that there were only three moves for this thing, and the three moves were made randomly.
To put it simply, one move is the most vicious move. It seems that this human skin puppet has a name, and it may be a semi-finished product of the design. That's easy!
"You can hit your lower abdomen directly when it makes you "hold the cloud hand"!" The corpse really took my ears. "The Seven Lucky Signs of Yunji" is a metaphor for the jade steps of the sea of clouds, with ears and shoulders, so Zhengyang is called the hand of the cloud. But the corpse came out of Nayun's hand, the lower abdomen was fully opened, and the center of the pure skin was opened. I was hit hard, and it staggered back several times.
"It makes the upper and lower hands, you hit the heavenly spirit!" The mummy really used the upper and lower hands, grabbing blind from the top of the head with one claw, and grabbing from the abdomen with one claw. I was struggling to win, hitting my toes on the ground, smashing a giant fist, and slamming it at its Tianling Gai, with a bang, and it half sat on the ground. The lower limbs were completely paralyzed.
"Be careful with the monkey fishing for the moon, you come and sweep your head and legs!" Monkey fishing for the moon is the most commonly used vicious method in street fighting. Both men and women take it all. Therefore, I can only use the unrestricted fighting technique to sweep the head and legs, and sweep it away fiercely. As the claw wind approaches, I only hear a bang, and the whole head rolls aside.
"Boy, the battle is not over yet..."
When I was about to stop, a black shadow, like a flying squirrel, pounced on me! (To be continued) (End of this chapter)
