Chapter 77: Ling Jiao

I looked at the mask, and there was a dark lacquer thing looming in it, about the size of a palm, and I couldn't see clearly. I was about to reach out and take it. Zhengyang said anxiously: "Stop! Don't you want your hands?" I hurriedly retracted my hands and asked in a daze, "Why! This thing is so evil?"

Zhengyang nodded, and said sternly: "This mask is called "Returning Light Mask". After the heart lamp is broken, the remaining flames that cannot be burnt will be transformed into "Returning Light". It will turn into bones!" "Ah? What can be done to get rid of it?" I looked at Zhengyang, Li Dazui and Bald Qiang obviously had no way, and stared at him blankly.

The term "huiguangfanzhao" is easy to understand. The yin and yang of the human body are mutually restricted. Once the patient has this symptom, it means that the time of death is not far away. The principle of this light-returning hood is also a streamer hood in the shape of evil spirits floating outside. This kind of old yin is too rich, but the old yin can restrain it. Only the bones of Xiumen can pick up this layer of mask.

After all, I wrapped an arm bone with a white cloth, and muttered: "How offended, please forgive me!", I stretched out the bone, and the mask was like a curtain, and a gap was opened. Zhengyang caught his ears with his fingers.

"Run!" Zhengyang yelled, I lost my bones, and where the fuck would I care about the separation of other people's bones, I stepped up and ran along with Zhengyang. Li Dazui and Baldouqiang followed behind and ran for about seven or eighty meters. Looking back, there was a faint glow from that burst, which gradually formed a spherical shape, resembling a ball of lightning, making a scoffing sound.

The ball of light actually expanded continuously, as if it was about to fill the entire cave, and the corpses in the ball of light burst into bursts of howls. It seems that this is going to explode, and the power is not small.

We stared straight at the ball, our hearts throbbed. However, something strange happened, the ball of light actually wilted, like a discouraged ball, sluggish a few times, and then made a series of fart-like sounds, and there was no movement. The corpse inside fell down, motionless!

This is too unscientific!

The thunder is heavy and the rain is small, it's incredible!

We didn't recover for a long while, and stared straight over there. At this time Zhengyang said: "Well! At first, I was also curious. According to the truth, if this formation is completely cracked, it should release a force of at least 50 kilograms of TNT equivalent, which is similar to a small damage radius of A small bomb of 50 meters. When I felt a force rise, it seemed that the follow-up capacity was insufficient, which led to the failure of destruction."

"Zhengyang, do you mean there is an energy source to support it?"

"According to the theory, it is true. There is no such thing as a perpetual car in the world. They are all driven by energy. This is the case in science, and so are these supernatural events. The driving force of this formation can be an eye of evil spirits. , It can also be other energy sources."

"As far as you can see, is it the heart lamp? After the heart lamp goes out, the array will be ruined!"

"It looks like this on the surface, but in fact, the heart lamp is also driven by an energy source. If you didn't guess wrong, this black stone should be the energy source." Zheng Yang raised the black stone and looked at the light carefully, his expression is quite solemn." Hmm! This is very similar to your meteorite, take a look."

I took the meteorite, which was similar in size to the one on my body, with mysterious symbols engraved on one side. The other side is as smooth as a mirror. Obviously the same piece as mine, born out of the same mother. I took the meteorite out of my backpack, and the edges and corners were facing each other, so that one side could be connected, and it was very neat. "Tsk tusk! It's amazing, you can still find his compatriot!" My sentence actually amused them all.

"Let's find a way first! Staying in this kind of place for a long time will cause the whole person to have a nervous breakdown!"

"I'm okay. I participated in the mission back then, but I spent a year or a half in this place!"

"Then go out in the same way and be better than this ghost place in the desert!"

"No, the future of Fugu is sealed, and there are too many things!" Zhengyang finished speaking, I only noticed Fugu. The old guy hadn't spoken for a long time, and I almost ignored him.

Slightly! Slightly! Slightly! Slightly! Fugu made a weird smile: "Boy, I think you are evil. In the future, you will probably cause more grievances than my old fellow!" My face suddenly became unhappy and thought, "I wiped? I've been evil again. Such a thousand-year-old fairy?" asked "What did you say?"

"If you want to survive, follow me!" Bu Huagu said. After all, people have lived here for thousands of years, and if they ask me, they will definitely not harm me. Anyway, there is no retreat, and there are still people like Zhengyang, what am I afraid of? Ride a donkey to read the script and wait and see.

Passing through the ruins of the formation, to the end of the cave, it turned out to be an ice wall. The wall is as smooth as a mirror, crystal clear, you can see through the depth of three or four meters. The icy edge reveals a faint blue light, and I don't know how big this glacier is. I looked around the glacier carefully and asked, "Old man, where is the door?"

"Don't worry! Don't worry, you can look for it carefully!"

I stared at the glacier carefully. The surface of the ice was as complete as a mirror, where I could find the slightest gap, not even a bubble. "Could it be that this old guy is playing tricks on us?" For these yin types, I often cherish malice. It is normal for people and ghosts to have different paths.

To survive in a dangerous environment, you must protect your own life. For all other morals, wait until a safe environment. "Hey! Don't sell it!"

"This ice is not formed naturally!"

"How is this possible!" The five of us spoke at the same time, and Dong Tong followed behind without speaking. At this moment, he couldn't help but speak.

"I remember a thousand years ago, a country lord was buried near here. In order to protect the corpse, an entire iceberg was excavated and piled in the tomb. Take a look at the ice cubes!"

After this mention of it, we did find some tricks in the ice. There are tiny gaps in the ice cubes, and you won't be able to find them if you don't look carefully. My goodness, these are all piles of ice cubes on top of each other? So how big is this project!

I have read some materials about ancient ice hiding. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was an official named Lingren who was in charge of ice picking. There are also records about picking ice in the Book of Songs. "On the second day, he smashed the ice and rushed, and the third day was in Lingyin." That's what happened.

Enjoying cold drinks in summer is not the patent of modern people. Ancient princes and nobles can also have it. The Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology and other departments conducted field archaeological investigations on the Shangjialing site in Qianyang County during the Warring States Period, and found that there were large-scale rammed earth and ceramic well circles. The ice storage is similar to a modern refrigerator.

The conditions for ice storage in ancient times were not as good as those of modern people, but they had their own methods. In the deep winter of every year, the ice pickers will enter the deep mountains, in the extremely clean pools, take frozen firm ice and cut them into blocks. It is transported by human or animal power to deep mountain valleys and caves that are always shaded all year round. Or dig a deep well underground and pave the ground with straw to accumulate the ice, and then cover a large amount of heat-insulating material. Despite the careful preservation of ice cubes, in midsummer, two-thirds of the ice must be melted. Only princes and nobles with unlimited manpower can enjoy it.

According to the "Dai Qing Hui Dian" records: there were five cellars in the Forbidden City at that time, with 25,000 pieces of ice, six cellars at the west gate of Jingshan, with 54,000 pieces of ice, three cellars outside Deshengmen, two pieces of ice. Six thousand seven hundred yuan. Some scholars calculated based on these records that the volume of the 5,000-block ice cellar is equivalent to the volume of a current five-story, four-unit residential building. This is amazing!

The process of storing, fetching and awarding ice in ancient times all seemed very sacred.

When hiding ice, black livestock and black millet are used to worship Sihan. Si Han is the god of water, and everything he uses in folklore is black. When taking ice, set a bow made of peach wood and an arrow made of thorns in the ice room. Peach and escape are homophonic, meaning that every evil turns good; the thorns have thorns, which are the anti-evil things of the ancients. During the ice award ceremony, the imperial court assigned different amounts of ice to the royal family and officials according to the level of officials. Those who received the ice regarded it as a kind of honor.

The main purpose of the ancients hiding ice was to make cold drinks and food in summer. It was common in the Zhou Dynasty to use ice for banquets in the palace in summer. Ancient wines were pure wines with very low alcohol content. When the temperature is high in summer, they will continue to ferment and become sour. Therefore, the ministers of the princes and princes will drink ice wine in summer banquets. In the Tang Dynasty, when Yang Guozhong was in power, he held a banquet at home in the summer. He used large blocks of ice to form a mountain and surrounded the banquet. As a result, he had to wear a thin cotton-padded jacket while drinking in Futian. The effect was not inferior to today's air conditioner.

As for hiding corpses, this is unheard of. The general ice seal will last for about three or four years, and it will definitely melt away. And this piece of speech has been for thousands of years, and it hasn't been changed for thousands of years. What a huge project this has to be.

My suspicion was not unreasonable, so I asked straightforwardly, "Old things, how can these ice cubes be kept for so many years?"

"Young people, be polite. These ice cubes can be preserved entirely by this formation. To tell you the truth, this king's tomb was also laid by the Taoist priest."

I rub! How long did the Taoist priest live? It has been more than a thousand years since the Western Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. This old guy must be talking nonsense. "I don't care what you say, there is a wall in front of this, will you let us through the wall?"

"Young man, don't worry, the difficulty is only temporary. I have a way to get in!"

"Stop fart, let me know how to do it..."

Next, the rhetoric of not breaking the bones shocked us all. If it weren't from his mouth, I would completely treat this as nonsense. Although out of the mouth of such a thousand-year-old fairy, these statements still shocked me! (To be continued) (End of this chapter)
