Chapter 317: The sarcophagus
It was pitch black under the cave, except for a little moonlight near the entrance of the cave, and after a few steps, I couldn't see my fingers. However, Du Lin's Tianyan's skill has not expired, and coupled with his super vision, this darkness has no effect on him.
Judging from the pattern, this should be a tomb, and the location where Du Lin is located is in the tomb of the tomb, and the tomb road is very wide, much wider than the tomb of Liu Bowen that Du Lin went to before, which also shows that the scale of this tomb is much larger than that of Liu Bowen's tomb.
After walking a short distance along the tomb road, we came to a large burial chamber, so large that with Durin's super eyesight and heavenly eye, he could only barely see the edge.
There are dozens of thick stone pillars in the tomb to support the top of the tomb, and the stone pillars are carved with lifelike reliefs, such as cranes representing longevity, bats representing blessings, and auspicious clouds representing auspiciousness.
In the middle of the burial chamber is a sarcophagus, on which is placed a candlestick in the shape of five petals, and the soft multicolored light surrounds the candlestick, which is very beautiful.
The old ghost crouched beside the candlestick, greedily absorbing the light of the candlestick, and the multicolored color of its body was slowly recovering.
Of course, Du Lin will not give it a chance to regain blood, he rushed up with an arrow step, waved the soul gathering umbrella and hit, the old ghost is also a person who sacrifices his life and money, and wants to resist it hard, but the result is sparks splashed by the soul gathering umbrella, and his soul is almost scattered, and he even rolls and crawls to avoid the distance.
"Grandpa spare my life! It is not easy to remember that I have cultivated for hundreds of years, and now my Taoism is greatly damaged, please spare my life......" The old ghost lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Now that I know that I told my grandfather to spare my life, why did I go just now?" Durin is not a soft-hearted person, and he will not be moved by compassion after listening to two kind words.
"Grandpa, as long as you let go of the small horse, I have a hundred ghost sect under the mountain, they must have amassed a lot of treasures in the past three hundred years, I will let them give it to you, okay?" Seeing that "moving with affection" is not good, the old ghost changed his method and began to "lure him to profit", but what he didn't expect was that the hundred ghost sect in his mouth had already been banned by the Spirit Association.
"Didn't you look at the people below before you left the customs, or are they not your doormen?" said Duhrin with a smile.
"Huh, you mean, those people down there aren't my protΓ©gΓ©s anymore?" the old ghost was a little dumbfounded.
"Your sect was destroyed a few months ago, and now this place is called the Spirit Beast Gate, not the Hundred Ghost Gate. β
"Then where are all my disciples?"
"They raised ghosts and harmed people, and they have been wiped out! Durin said.
"It's over, my hundreds of years of foundation, it's all over......" The old ghost is all lost, this Hundred Ghost Gate is his biggest reliance on cultivation, every year the Hundred Ghost Gate will catch a batch of lonely souls and wild ghosts and send them to him for him to absorb Yin Qi to cultivate, fortunately, Du Lin doesn't know this, if Du Lin knows, I'm afraid he won't give him the opportunity to say these nonsense, and he will be killed directly.
This year, these people from the Hundred Ghost Sect did not send ghosts on time, so he had to release his ghost sense to absorb the yin qi of the woman, and he happened to be bumped into by Du Lin, and thanks to Du Lin happened to be here, otherwise these women of the Spirit Beast Gate would probably be sick for a period of time in the future due to the great damage of yin qi.
"Okay, what other words do you have now, I'm not like you, if you have a last word, I will definitely help you convey it. Durin still remembered what the old ghost said before, "If you have any last words, say it quickly, but I won't help you convey it."
"Can't you really let me go? I can give you this magic weapon. The old ghost pointed to the multicolored candlestick on the sarcophagus, still making his last efforts.
"I sent you away, this magic weapon is mine, and your condition has no attraction to me. β
Du Lin is very interested in that magic weapon, the five elements realm just now should be the function of this magic weapon, and he can call the power of the underground five elements of "wind, fire, thunder, lightning and rain" at will, and the power of this magic weapon can be regarded as against the sky.
"I ...... I ...... "The old ghost was silent for a long time, and he didn't say anything to change his life."
"Alright, don't let you go, it's time to send you on your way. β
"No, don't let my soul wander!" begged the old ghost with a cry.
"Who said you're going to be gone?" said Durin.
"Ahh
"Although you are guilty of great sins, I am only a coward, and I have no authority to condemn you, and if you cause karma, you should go down and tell the king of Hades yourself, how he will judge you is his business. β
"Ancestor, you are my own ancestor, thank you ancestors for your success, thank you ancestors for their kindness. The old ghost lay on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
Compared with the soul scattered, entering the underworld to suffer and eliminate karma, at least there is still the hope of reincarnation, even if you cast a pig fetus, at least you can eat a lifetime of full food, if the soul is scattered, but everything is over, there is no hope.
"Alright, let's go down without any last words. Durin waved his hand impatiently.
"There is one more thing, I thought I would be beaten by you, so I don't think there is any need to say it, but since I want to go to the underworld to eliminate karma, I think it's better to say it, how much it can be regarded as accumulating a little merit for myself," lying on the ground for a while, recovering a little strength, plus I heard that there is no need to scatter the soul, the old ghost's spirit is much better, he struggled to stand up, pointed to the sarcophagus next to him and said, "This was originally an ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, and this sarcophagus contains the owner of the tomb." β
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" scolded Doolin, "who else could it be if it wasn't the owner of the tomb?"
"No, no, don't be impatient, this tomb owner is a little special, listen to me carefully," the old ghost patted the sarcophagus and explained: "The owner of this tomb is not a royal nobleman, just an ordinary rich man, and he should not use a sarcophagus normally." β
"Even the royal family and nobles can't use the sarcophagus. Durin continued.
The Song Dynasty is a dynasty with very special burial customs, the imperial tombs of other dynasties pay attention to high tombs, luxurious and thick burials, and the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty are particularly simple, tomb robbers throughout the ages, even if they find the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty, they will not dig it, because there is really no oil and water.
In other dynasties, as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he began to repair the imperial mausoleum, and the emperor could not complete it if he did not die, you can't say that the emperor has finished repairing your yin house, and you can get the key to move in, that is impossible, to say this is to find death. Therefore, as long as the emperor does not die, he has to keep repairing, which is very luxurious, and there are many funeral goods.
In the Song Dynasty, the emperor died to repair the imperial mausoleum, which must be completed within seven months, otherwise the emperor will be rotten, so among the imperial mausoleums of the past dynasties, the imperial mausoleum of the Song Dynasty can be said to have nothing but coffins, which is very simple.
