Chapter 18 Two Chu Tombs

The silent forest was covered with thick dead leaves, and there was almost no sound when stepped on. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The archer man was at the front of us, his torch flashing with a cold wind, and then I saw a puff of black smoke rise, and it floated in the air like a ghost. In the light of the dancing fire, I could faintly see some kind of bare sheen in the pile of fallen leaves, and when I looked closely, I gasped - it was a centipede.

They hide under the damp leaves, revealing a purple-red half of their bodies, which I had been bitten by when I was a child, and now I can't help but panic when I see such a large one. Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a moth-like flying insect fluttered into the wound on my right arm, scattering some white powder, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly leaned back and accidentally fell to the ground.

Baocai saw my down-and-out appearance and teased me: "Son, isn't it just a winged worm, look at what scares you." ”

I straightened my mind and replied to him: "The insects here are strange, especially big, aren't you afraid to see them?"

Bao Cai said: "Insects and animals are the objects of my research, I like it too late, where will I be afraid." ”

I saw that he didn't feel a backache when he stood and talked, and replied with a smile: "Blow it blindly, who saw the Gu worm and ran away." ”

He said: "Can the Gu worm be the same, it is simply a weapon bred in captivity, who wants to deal with it." In our day, that thing will be destroyed, as if the four evils were removed. ”

Lao Yan interjected when he heard this: "You two can still be blind at this time, I see that one is about to be crippled, and the other ass is blooming, you are all tidy!"

It's hard for me to say anything, it's all tears when I say it, and now it's a blessing that a rookie like us is still alive, not to mention those sad pasts.

He ......walked beside me and Baocai, then pointed to the front, and said, "That's where we camped, and I will use the ancient essence herbs to treat you." ”

I said, "There are herbs, okay, hurry!" But I thought to myself, the two wounds on my body are not cured by ordinary herbs, and maybe tomorrow morning when the sun rises, I will have died with my eyes closed. I can't help but feel sad when I think about it.

When they arrived at their camp, the archer man was worried that the Miao girl would go back to report the news, so he directly restrained her hands and feet. I watched her glaring at us viciously, and my heart felt a little refreshed, after all, evil is rewarded.

She looked at me and looked at her, glanced at me coldly, kept shouting in her mouth, the archer man was impatient, took out a very small clay bottle from his arms, and stuffed a black medicine into her mouth, saying that it was his ancestral poison, this medicine will not kill immediately, but you must take the antidote regularly, you can't talk nonsense during the period, you will have stomach cramps if you talk too much, if you run away halfway, you will die of intestinal rot.

The witch scolded angrily and struggled, but it was useless, and the archer was unusually cold-blooded towards her. I said in my heart: To deal with this kind of woman who is more vicious than arsenic, you can really cure poison.

The place where Chen Yu and the others camped was near a ravine, surrounded by giant trees, forming rows of dense shadows. It's rare to look up in this place, the line of sight will not be blocked, I sat by a tree, Lao Yu gave me and Bao Cai medicine, Bao Cai was next to me, so lively.

The cool spring breeze blew on my cheeks, and at this time, looking at the silver frost and a little star sprinkled in the sky, I felt homesick and couldn't help but sigh: Alas, the bright moon, the bright moon, when will you be able to take care of me?

I glanced at the people chatting by the fire, and while I was lonely, I also felt a certain sense of steadiness.

Now there are a total of eight people, including the witch, four on Chen Li's side and four on my side. The two short men kindly prepared two pheasants for us, which was a sweet dream for us who had not eaten meat for many days.

I gobbled up treasures, and the little Taoist priest said that he didn't eat meaty things, and I said in my heart: You are not a monk, so you don't eat meat. However, as soon as I was tempted, the little Taoist priest still didn't eat it, but just picked a few wild fruits to fill his stomach. In the past two days, I found that there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows, and he sat alone in the corner, looking up at the stars in the sky, his eyes were blurred.

Perhaps because of the large number of people, I no longer have so much fear of the deep forest. Chen Yu asked us why we came here, and I told him what had happened, and he sighed when he heard it, saying that he didn't expect that I, an art student who opposes inverted fighting, would go to such a place with Baocai, and it is sad to think about it.

I said that there was no way, this is an era of war, and if you ask for food, you naturally have to find a way.

Chen Di said, he is not much better, at that time in order to find silk silk, he ran to the yard was struck by lightning, and then inexplicably wore to this era, the following days he did coolies, as a subordinate, and then he really couldn't stand being called around to drink, he resolutely left, with a pair of discerning eyes to know the treasure, joined the grave digging organization.

I said that you have at least found a reliable gravedigger organization, and a few of us have been put together temporarily, where can we understand the doorway, who knows that Lao Yu grabbed me and said: "We are not called reliable, we are called professional!"

I said, "We haven't been wearing it for long, you and they just met, how do you know if you are professional or not!"

When Chen Yu heard this, he said to me with a mysterious expression: "Liuzi, don't you think that when you see this archer man, do you have a sense of intimacy?"

I said, "He saved me, and he is my benefactor, but I just met, how can I be so quick and kind, and I am not a natural acquaintance." ”

When Lao Yu heard this, he sighed a few times and said, "He...... Your ancestor, you don't even feel it, don't you think you're a bit alike?"

As soon as I heard him say the word "ancestor", the water that had just entered his mouth was all sprayed on Bao Cai's face, and Bao Cai wiped away with a gloomy face, and I was shocked: "You are not mistaken!" I looked at the two short men who were talking and laughing with the archers, and goosebumps stood up.

"Of course, I've been with him for a while, he really is your ancestor!" Chen Yu said to me with a serious face.

I said in my heart, "No...... This...... This man is my godly and coaxing ancestor, the supreme leader of the Golden Gate, oh my God! I heard from my grandfather that he is the kind of lonely and arrogant person, but now it seems that this is simply a joke!

I laughed dryly, and Chen Yu continued on the side: "Really, don't look at his virtue, he is the founder of Touch Jinmen, according to history, if he mixes up again, wait two years, he will meet Cao Mengde who crusaded against Dong Zhuo, what does this mean? This means that if you follow your ancestors, you can mix with the rank of Captain Jin, and you can also see Lao Cao!"

I looked at Chen Yu's adoring look, and suddenly felt that the two of them looked like relatives. I looked carefully at the ancestor who was not far away from me on the same time and space, and felt that it was especially unreal.

I looked closely, and if I wanted to say that I was like him, there was nothing like him except a high nose and two big dimples, after all, we were sixty-nine generations apart. But somehow, since I knew his identity, my blood swelled with an indescribable warmth. I silently looked at the old ancestor who was wearing a neat short shirt, and the kind of blood kinship that had been separated by more than 1,800 years couldn't help but slowly emerge, which made me unconsciously have a faint admiration for him.

He is my relative, I said to myself over and over again, here and now, except for my two brothers and the little Taoist priest, I actually met my own relative, this feeling is too subtle, it makes my nose sour for a while.

I was right, although I saw the legendary figure, but I couldn't kneel in front of him and say to him, I am your grandson in the future, I sniffed, and turned to Lao Yu: "Wait two more years, don't you plan to go back to the 21st century?"

Chen Yu said: "Alas, Liuzi...... It's hard to dream of crossing this thing, and it's easier said than done to go back. ”

When he said this, I confided the speculation in my heart: "Shimen, let's go to the ancient tomb to find the stone gate, we must have crossed over here because of it." ”

Chen Yu looked at me and said with a smile: "Liuzi, do you believe in these evil things now?"

I said, "Believe it or not, seeing is believing, a few days ago, the little Taoist priest and I met wild ghosts in the forest, beating gongs and drums can be very lively, and now at this moment, the whole adventure process is like upgrading and fighting monsters, there is nothing impossible." ”

Lao Yu said, "Yes! ”

I said, "The Chu tomb we are going to now, there is a stone gate that I passed through at that time, and I saw the ghost door open, and there were many hands stretched out inside, and there were women, you should have seen it too, right?"

I looked at Bao Cai and Lao Yu with a serious face, and the two of them looked at me suspiciously, and Bao Cai said to me, "I haven't seen anything except the seven inverted ones!"

How could it be, my hairs stood on end, and I was surprised, and then Lao Yu said: "I didn't see it either, but...... I've already been to the Shimen Tomb you mentioned......"

"What!" I was completely confused, and Chen Yu told us an unexpected thing, and it all started like this:

In the Yuanling area of Wuling County, Jingzhou, where we are now located, there were a lot of ancient tombs in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not as long as our modern and Warring States periods, and there were no multiple choices for the unearthed tombs and artifacts. And the people of this era encountered bronze objects, and after they were melted, they recreated weapons and daily necessities to obtain benefits. Most of the time, it is not like our time, an ancient artifact, which can be valued according to its culture, historical significance, craftsmanship, and texture.

Therefore, considering various practical factors and the convenience of reselling the artifact in secret, the Golden Gate chose to settle in a fixed range, that is, for a long time, in the same place, and the acupuncture person under my ancestor who was similar to a little Taoist priest found a good position, and then he was looking for the artifact with two vigorous gravediggers.

The tomb where Lao Yu participated in the collapse was 170 kilometers away from the Chu tomb we were looking for. This distance, in ancient times, was just walking, and it took several days to walk without rest.

This is a departure from what I analyzed at the time. First of all, there are indeed two tombs, but they are not in the same place, as I thought. This mistake is that I always thought that I was going to the tomb where the stone gate was located, but I didn't expect that I was going to the tomb of the ancestors of Liuhua and Tieniu.

In other words, the stone gate we encountered in modern times was visited by Chen Yu and the seven inverted people. Lao Yu and my ancestor died nine lives in it, although they escaped, but the third Luo Laosan, who was specially used to fix the acupoint in Jinmen, died suddenly, and the strange thing is that after he died, he turned into a rotten living person.

Lao Yu said that his face, eyes, and smell on his body were very similar to the seven inverted people we met in modern times at that time. In other words, there was something in that Chu tomb that made them like that, but they didn't find the root cause at that time. And the tomb we are going to now is the tomb where Ge Yun and the others were in distress. What both of them have in common is that they are both tombs of the Chu period, which can give people the strange phenomenon of resurrection from the dead.

After the mutation of the third child, the ancestor and Chen Yu found a dismembered zongzi in the Shimen tomb. The man's finger bones are very long, and from the analysis of the bamboo slips and a lyre placed in his main coffin, this person is the famous Ling people of Chu during the Warring States Period - "Wu Xuan",

At that time, my ancestors thought it was strange, because during the Warring States Period, the status of the Ling people, that is, musicians, was very underground, similar to slaves. But they found many rare treasures in the tomb, such as beautifully carved copper square mirrors, jade group pendants, and decorative utensils that can only be found in the palace.

In order to solve the doubts, my ancestor and Chen Yu explored with the words on the bamboo slips, which recorded a key point "flying birds" and "swimming fish". This is a combination pattern that exists on the tomb door, and it is also the tomb where Wu Xuan is located, which appears the most. Bao Cai also said that it resembled an "alien". At that time, my ancestors translated the words on the bamboo slips, which roughly meant: birds and swimming fish, one in the sky, the other in the water, can not be kept, they are like us, blocked by too many realities, but you don't feel lonely, wait for me, wait until I return to the sky, I will be with you.

With these words, I could imagine that this was a sad thing that a woman was saying to a man, and it was very obvious that this woman was of very high status. And this bamboo slip is recorded in the tone of the woman, so it is possible that the stone gate tomb was made by the woman.

Lao Yu said that it should be, but it was also out of curiosity that they looked at the bamboo slips, and they stuck to the poison attached to them, which was not fatal, but it would be extremely painful at some point. At that time, Lao Yu and my ancestor were very depressed, they continued to look down, and the bamboo slip recorded that if someone wanted an antidote, they needed to go to the Chu tomb where she was and bury her body for a second time, that is, take the woman to the tomb where Wu Xian was and reunite them.

When Chen Yu said this, I instantly understood the reason why they came here. The great thing is that after the death of the third person who fixed the acupoint, it was my ancestor who brought the three of them to find here, and he and the little Taoist priest could rely on the qi of feng shui to fix the acupoint.

However, our route was different, we started from the middle lane, so we ran into the Miao people guarding there, and they entered the forest from the right road, and encountered the mechanism hidden in the big forest. The existence of these anti-tomb robbery items makes me have to admire the people who designed this tomb. And I wondered why the woman had such painstakingly designed tombs, and what about those who came back from the dead.

As I thought of this, I suddenly remembered a picture in my mind, under the shade of greenery, by the peach blossom tree, in the mist, an ancient woman in a robe, her jade fingers stroked the piano, singing softly by the lake...... At this moment, my heart was like thunder, and I couldn't help but think: Could it be that the woman I saw in the illusion at that time was the owner of the Chu tomb?

I was amazed and recalled the red silk silk I had seen on Chen Yu's hand, which fused with the pattern of "birds and fish" on the stone gate.

I eagerly asked Lao Yu if they had seen the red light, and Lao Yu said no, saying that my brain was not broken at that time.

I was blown away by his answer, and when I put everything together, I felt like I had seen something in advance that others couldn't. It made me wonder why I was seeing this, did I fall for an evil spirit, or did I have some kind of superpower?
