0964 Kappa in a coffin
Tang Ding saw that my grandson Zhenlong had opened the spring of the Eight Treasures Exquisite Coffin, and he hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"
Tang Ding has already seen the three coffins of this mausoleum, all of which are eight treasure exquisite coffins, of which the coffin in the middle is the largest, and the coffins on both sides are slightly smaller.
The eight-treasure exquisite coffin in the middle that Tang Ding opened first, and took out the "Yin and Yang Secret Technique".
Open the big one first, this is Tang Ding's character. In the selection of treasures, choose the most aura first. In a fight, pick the most powerful one first.
However, when Tang Ding asked my grandson Zhenlong to push the eight-treasure exquisite coffin in the middle, Tang Ding suddenly heard a slight sound from the other two coffins.
However, Tang Ding did not make a noise about this discovery, and of course there was no need to make a statement. If these two living creatures in the slightly smaller coffin could have come out, they would have come out a long time ago, and now it is useless for them to scratch their ears and cheeks inside, and if they can't get out, they can't get out.
But Tang Ding didn't expect that when he was immersed in the preface of "The Secret Art of Yin and Yang", my grandson Zhenlong accidentally opened the Eight Treasures Exquisite Coffin.
My grandson Zhenlong is also a very smart person, he saw the process of Tang Ding opening the Eight Treasures Exquisite Coffin, he did the same, and even opened a coffin.
This eight-treasure exquisite coffin is equivalent to the ancient password lock safe, and people who can remember how to open the cabinet after looking at it once are either extremely high IQ or have a good memory.
But my grandson Zhenlong didn't hear Tang Ding's sound to stop, or he didn't want to stop at all, and when Tang Ding finished shouting, my grandson Zhenlong pushed open the Eight Treasures Exquisite Coffin.
After my grandson Zhenlong pushed away Ba Bao's coffin, he looked at Tang Ding with some confusion, looking at Tang Ding innocently, not understanding why Tang Ding shouted to stop.
In fact, my grandson Zhenlong knows very well in his heart, coming here with Tang Ding, what Tang Ding opened first, he must not have a share, so he must not be like the last time he entered the Mausoleum of Emperor Nurhachi, this time he must find something to take out.
If Tang Ding really wanted to stop my grandson Zhenlong, when he began to push the lid of the coffin, Tang Ding could still organize, but he didn't.
In fact, after Tang Ding finished shouting, he regretted it, in fact, Tang Ding should not have shouted this, he should have asked my grandson Zhenlong to open it directly to see what was put into the coffin two thousand years ago and could move?
As for my grandson Zhenlong, he is an adult and needs to be responsible for doing things himself.
"Tang Dingjun, what's wrong? I want to help you open this coffin first and see if there is any "Yin and Yang Secret Technique" you need in it?" "My grandson Zhenlong still doesn't know that the jade book in Tang Ding's hand is the "Yin and Yang Secret Technique", because this book is written in small seals, and he can't read it at all.
"Okay, that's really troublesome Dragon King. ”
My grandson Zhenlong saw that Tang Ding did not organize himself to open the coffin, although he felt a little strange in his heart, but he was still happy.
My grandson Zhenlong peeked at it, Tang Ding was still studying the jade book in his hand, and he was relieved to move the light of the flashlight to the coffin that was opened by himself.
Amber, agate, and pearls glow dizzily when illuminated by a flashlight.
My grandson Zhenlong hurriedly grabbed a handful of pearls inside, and grabbed three strings of pearl necklaces, each of which was the size of a soybean, and one of them was almost the size of a peanut, which was extremely difficult to obtain two thousand years ago without diving equipment, let alone a whole large string.
"Tang Dingjun, there are pearls here. "Although my grandson Zhenlong wanted to pack these treasures by himself, he still didn't have the guts, so he could only ask Tang Ding.
"Okay, you can take it first. ”
My grandson Zhenlong was overjoyed when he heard Tang Ding's words, he didn't expect Tang Ding to be so easy to talk this time, he immediately packed up the three strings of pearls just now, and then grabbed a piece of amber and put it in his pocket.
My grandson Zhenlong tried not to let himself touch the blackened skeleton-like corpse in this coffin, in fact, when the treasure was in front of him, my grandson Zhenlong didn't look at the corpse in the coffin at all.
The corpse was shriveled to the point of not having a trace of moisture, but it did not decompose in the slightest.
This is a dry corpse!
This dried corpse was much smaller than a normal person, even smaller than the warrior figurines inside the outer city walls, and it looked a bit like a child.
There was no flesh or fat on the whole body, it was real skin and bones, and it looked shriveled and black.
It is understandable that the corpse of Emperor Nintoku was lifelike, after all, the emperor would have undergone some simple embalming after his death, and it is also important to be sure that embalming does not keep the body from decomposing, and embalming is just an auxiliary means.
What really embalms the corpse is the leyline qi here, that is, the qi of feng shui. Feng Shui Qi is the ultimate means of embalming.
When the emperor is buried, he will choose the feng shui treasure land, the dragon vein dragon lair, and the real dragon vein dragon lair will keep the body for a long time. The means of antiseptic are only disinfection and sterilization.
Tang Ding has seen a lot of non-decomposing corpses. He was in Baoji, Shaanxi Province and his mentor Professor Zuo Qingming led the excavation of the tomb of the Qin Gong, when Tang Ding first entered, the King of Qin was also lifelike, but the lifelike life of the King of Qin was not caused by the feng shui treasure cave, but the jade of immortality he wore, and the place where he was buried was at most a treasure of feng shui, and it could never be called a dragon vein and dragon cave.
There is also Tang Ding in the tomb of Emperor Nurhachi, although Tang Ding did not open Nurhachi's coffin in the end, but he can be 100% sure that Nurhachi must be lifelike, and even opened the coffin, as long as the position of the coffin is not moved, Nurhachi will definitely continue to maintain a lifelike appearance. Because the place where Nurhachi is located is the real dragon vein, one of the twenty-four dragon veins in China, and the location where Nurhachi is buried is the dragon's lair, which has been accurately calculated by feng shui masters. Not rotting is for sure.
Just like the lifelike body of Emperor Rentoku that Tang Ding sees now, Emperor Rentoku himself is surnamed Xu, and he is a descendant of the Xu family, and the secret technique of the Xu family's inheritance comes from Xu Fu, and Xu Fu is a close disciple of Guiguzi, and he has fully inherited the Guigu Peerless School.
Emperor Rentoku successfully ascended the throne with his unique knowledge of the Guigu and successfully ascended the throne, and of course he would choose a feng shui treasure for himself in the dragon vein and dragon cave, and the kung fu of finding the dragon point is naturally exquisite.
Therefore, the lifelike nature of Emperor Nintoku is completely reasonable.
But here's the problem, the feng shui treasure point of a place is the place where the aura of heaven and earth is absorbed, and there is only one. This place is occupied by Emperor Nintoku, and the rest of the place cannot be a feng shui treasure cave.
According to common sense, this feng shui treasure cave should absorb the qi of heaven and earth from its surroundings to enhance the feng shui qi of the treasure cave.
Then why didn't the corpse in this eight-treasure exquisite coffin opened by my grandson Zhenlong not decay?
In addition, Emperor Nintoku is the emperor, and his burial system is naturally the imperial family burial system, and the coffin used is the Eight Treasures Exquisite Coffin, so why are the two slightly smaller coffins next to him also Eight Treasures Exquisite Coffin? This does not seem to be suitable for the burial system. But after all, this is Japan, and Tang Ding can't be sure what the burial system was like in ancient Japan, but the strangest thing about Tang Ding is: these two coffins are not in the dragon's den, why are they not rotting?
Just as Tang Ding was trying to think about the cause and effect, my grandson Zhenlong suddenly let out a frightened scream, and a thin hand grabbed his arm tightly, and the sharp nails pierced into the flesh of my grandson Zhenlong's arm.
"Tang Dingjun, help!" My grandson Zhenlong's face turned green with fright, because the hand that pierced his arm made the blood that he shed gradually turn black.
Tang Ding walked over with an arrow, and saw the whole picture of the person who grabbed the hand of my grandson Zhenlong.
This is a "person" who is as thin as a child of five or six years old, in fact, it is a little reluctant to say that it is a human being, just because it has limbs, but in reality, it does not look like a person at all, if you look at it alone, it is more like a monkey.
At the same time that Tang Ding saw this "person", my grandson Zhenlong also saw it, "Kappa? It's a kappa, Tang Dingjun, save me!"
"Kappa?" Tang Ding remembered what this kappa was as soon as he thought of it.
Although the kappa is best known in Japan, it was indeed the first to be discovered in China. The kappa, also known as the river boy and the water tiger, is a water ghost in the water. It originated in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Valley, but it is very popular in Japan, where there are only surviving specimens of kappa.
Hearing the words of my grandson Zhenlong, Tang Ding noticed that this monster was indeed similar to a kappa. Because it has a monkey-like body, a beak like a bird, webbed hands, and something like a turtle shell on its back.
The characteristics of kappa recorded in ancient texts include a beak like a bird's beak, the limbs of a frog, the body of a monkey, and the shell of a turtle.
This thing does fit the characteristics of a kappa recorded in ancient books.
Tang Ding pulled out the dragon sword and cut off my grandson Zhenlong's arm with a single sword.
In fact, Tang Ding can completely cut off the kappa's arm, but it is useless to cut off the kappa's arm, because my grandson Zhenlong's arm was scratched by the kappa, and all that flowed out was black blood, which is obviously a symptom of being poisoned.
If it is cut late, I am afraid that the poisonous gas will flow into my grandson Zhenlong's whole body with the blood, and even Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save him.
"Ahh
But he also knew that this was not the time to faint, and if he did, he would really die here.
"Stand back!" Tang Ding slammed his sword into the kappa's arm that was about to reach out to grab my grandson, Zhenlong.
However, to Tang Ding's surprise, the sword did not pierce the kappa's arm.
With the sharpness of the Dragon Descending Sword, even if Tang Ding didn't exert his strength just now, this sword should have cut off Kappa's arm, or at least pierce its arm.
It seems that this kappa is really like the one recorded in the ancient books: the whole body is covered with scales like steel and iron.
