Chapter 65: Four Eyes

Code farmer's message: The first volume of "Yuanling Witch Shadow" is coming to an end, and the code farmer has to prepare the content of the second volume, and he has to study a lot, which is more laborious. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info yesterday I saw the message of the book friend "Bai Qingzhu", urging the update, and rewarding, and I would like to express my gratitude. In addition, I would like to explain to the book friends who like "Little Taoist" Zhang Zhuyi and "Old Ancestor" Feng Xie, they are all protagonists in ancient times, and the content of the book will not be less.

-------------------------------------- dividing line------------------------------------

The matter of the organ is put on hold for the time being, we are already in the main coffin room of Princess Chu, and at this time, except for the dead Liang Jiu, everyone is there. The big stone in my heart fell, and I was finally relieved. Right now, there is only one step away from unveiling the mystery of Princess Chu, and my mood is indescribably excited, and I have been running for many days and suffering from flesh and skin, for this moment.

However, although the main coffin room was quiet and there were no evil things to disturb it, it had a dark and heavy smell, which made people panic. If it weren't for the large number of people, it might really make a mistake with this oppressive atmosphere. Now thanks to the lighting tools made by Lao Yu temporarily, otherwise it would be dark here, and the two everlasting lamps with no lighting effect would have become ghost fires.

We planted the two "Tomb Beast Torches" in our hands on both sides of the main coffin room, and we also kept one in our hands, no one dared to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, after all, this is the old nest of the tomb boss, and this old nest is not small, the whole space is square, and the top is round. This structure is exactly what Yin-Yang theory calls "the sky is round and the place is round".

"Circle" is used in yin-yang to be active, such as the moving sun and moon. The "square" atmosphere is stable and yin, and the combination of the two is just right. And this design shows that Sima Yan not only knows how to survey geography, but also has an understanding of celestial phenomena. The saying "the sky is round" is actually the initial understanding of the universe by the ancients, and it also represents the wisdom of the ancients.

At this moment, I looked closely, and saw that there was something faintly shining on the bronze top.

The little Taoist priest said lightly: "That's the ...... of the Seven Political Stars."

Hearing this, I rubbed my eyes and counted them, and there were indeed seven, different colors, as if they were polished from various rare ores and then inlaid with them.

The "Seven Politics" is the collective name of the sun, moon, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is very important in astrology, and around these seven stars, I also saw the majestic cloud patterns, which seemed to depict the scene in the sky.

Chen Li looked at the seven glowing gems and said, "Hey, Liuzi, do you think we have to give Sima Yan a title, called 'China's Good Spare Tire', or 'Best Senior Brother'? ”

I lowered my voice and replied, "We have also been in the sky, where can there be immortals?" It's just that although the ancients were smart, they did not know many gods, ghosts, strange phenomena, diseases and disasters, so they naturally began to be afraid, and if they were afraid, they would have prayers, and they would have all kinds of imaginations. Qi Ling was able to understand the celestial phenomena during his lifetime, and in the hearts of the ignorant people at that time, he was naturally a great figure. As smart as Sima Yan, he can't escape the thirst for the heavenly palace, and he may also feel that Mi Ling is dead, and he can ascend to heaven, and he can still carry him after ascending to heaven. ”

"What are you talking about...... Do you want me to say, let's stop talking nonsense, pull up our sleeves, and pry the coffin of Princess Chu, I want to see if the miraculous spirit has turned into dry bones, or has it really been feathered and ascended to immortality. ”

Chen Yu said, ready to move, the old ancestor dragged him and said: "Before you are promoted to become rich, you must see everything in the ancient tomb clearly to prevent yin tricks." After finishing speaking, he assigned the eighth day to check whether there was a mechanism in the main coffin room, and the eighth day of the first month ordered him to take a closer look.

The little Taoist priest is used to working alone, and he studied on his own, and the purpose of his earliest coming here was to figure out the matter of the "living dead", but in fact, he spent most of his time saving us, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

The bronze coffin lay silently in the center, revealing a cold and mysterious aura. In order to understand the purpose and deep meaning of the design here, the rest of us followed our ancestors to the front of the coffin.

In front of the coffin, there is a huge antler stretched out, which is like a hand stretched out when the people pray for blessings.

Chen Yu exaggerated: "With such a big antler, the deer won't be the first hundred years of elk essence, right?"

Hearing this, Baocai shook his head and sneered: "I said Chen Fatzi, do you understand? Where can the elk live for a hundred years? Even if you don't have knowledge, you don't even have common sense now?"

"Fuck off, the ghosts are all for you to see, don't you still believe that there are a hundred years of elk spirit?" Chen Yu choked back: "I'll ask you, did the man-eating vine exist in our time?

Being pierced by the "man-eating vine" was a pain in Baocai's heart, and when he heard this, he touched his ass awkwardly, thinking about it.

The old ancestor couldn't stand the two of them always bickering, stretched out his hands, pressed their faces on each side, pushed them away, and he approached to take a closer look, and said: "Oh, this horn is spliced together, but the craftsman is highly accomplished, and it looks like a ...... on a deer."

Hearing what the ancestor said, I took a closer look, but unfortunately I didn't have such good eyes as him, and I didn't see the reason.

The base of the elk antlers was that of a witch-like man, kneeling on the ground, supporting the antlers with both hands, and two wrist-thick chains piercing the lute bones. The man stood up as tall as Baocai, and his bare skin was dry, as if someone had made a dried corpse out of something. The old ancestor said that this person's identity would not be a low-level slave, but probably a person with status and good fortune, otherwise this delicately carved elk antlers that could channel the gods would not let him support it.

I nodded, this custom of looking for good fortune to pick up important items is still alive today, and there are many similar things in our time. For example, when a girl marries or moves in, she wants to let Fuze Shen's person press the bed, in order to be Tujili.

Chen Yu said: "This person has become a dry corpse and has been kneeling here, what blessing should there be, in the end, he fell into the Yellow Spring, and it is not a bitter force!"

What Chen Di said is a very real problem. Since ancient times, emperors, who doesn't want to "have the world in hand and live a long life". But helplessly, people can't die with dry bones, and no matter how blessed people are, they can't escape that one day the bones will rot and turn into dust, and finally they will be miserable and miserable, leaving only a name.

This reminds me of the famous ancestor, such a powerful figure, who will disappear one day, and it is inevitable to think about it. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the shaman, who was dressed in a black sacrificial robe, with a pendant made of colorful bird feathers and shells hanging around his neck, and a dark red "knee covering" tied around his belt, which was used to cover shame in ancient times, hanging between his legs. It is painted with a pattern of a sacred beast, and it seems to be a solemn and solemn sacrifice ceremony.

What is special is that this person's sacrificial clothes are shining, and they look particularly sacred, which makes people unconsciously solemn. I was confused and was about to reach for the garment. The old ancestor took my hand and said: "The light on this gorgeous dress is generated by mica powder, I advise you not to do it, think of my carelessness, and when he was in another tomb with the drum, he took a bamboo slip and fell into a trick." ”

I nodded, mica powder has high stability, high temperature and corrosion resistance, early in the tomb of Zhao Yu, the king of Nanyue, there was unearthed "mica calender silk", which can make the fabric have a slight light, looking gorgeous.

As I looked at the man's clothes, Bao Cai and Lao Ji stared at the golden mask on the witch's face. The mask was solemn, and with the dead air on this person, it was a little weird. Above the mask there are four eyes, which have only dark outlines. Through these dark eyes, you can vaguely see the faces of the people inside. His face was charred black, and four glowing eyes were embedded in his stiff face, a dull green, which was very strange. And in the middle of the forehead of the mask, there are three more vertical columns of malachite with clear light bands.

The ancestor said that these three malachites represent "heaven, earth, and man", and he had seen a similar mask in another Chu tomb, but the mask was made of copper, and it was not as fine and luxurious as this one.

On either side of the shaman, sat two people who were also wearing masks, and judging by their clothing, they were two women. Their masks are relatively ordinary, with antique glass inlays.

The two women each hold a musical instrument, the woman on the left holding a "tao", which we call a rattle in modern times, and the other holding a hammer, and the three of them together give a sense of solemnity.

Judging from the antlers and the three dried corpses, the main coffin chamber may be the place where the spirit ascended to heaven, and I am thinking about it and want more information to confirm this idea. Chen Yu couldn't hold it anymore, he said anxiously: "Boss, all the digging tools on my body have been lost, do you still have them on you?" If you have one, let's dig up this golden mask, and you will have meat ......to eat when you go back."

For some reason, looking at Chen Yu's impatient face, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, and I saw greed in his expression. There were also many treasures on the bronze paintings before, but I didn't see Chen Yu like this. But it's no wonder that people have always been full of irresistible pursuit of gold.

Looking at the delicate lines carved on the gold mask, its arrangement seems to be very regular, as if it indicates something. And around the three malachites, there are also cumbersome inscriptions, the words I can't recognize, even the ancestors can't see why.

Bao Cai said: "Oh, what can be engraved, it is nothing more than those few words such as 'death to the tomb robber' or 'blessing from the gods'." ”

Hearing what Baocai said casually, the old ancestor pinched his chin, nodded seriously and said, "Brother Liu's analysis is reasonable......

I saw that the old ancestor and the treasure hit it off, shook my head, and looked straight to myself. At this point, I was staring at the golden mask, a little fascinated...... The mask had a seductive aura, and I even had a strange feeling that the person behind the mask was calling me.

I held out my hand in a daze, and the four eyes on the golden mask glowed with a ghostly green light, as if to bring me into his world. I realized something was wrong, but my body just couldn't shake the feeling of powerlessness. This feeling is like the old man often said "ghost press", I can't scream if I want to, I can't move if I want to, I can only be afraid alone in infinite panic.

Just when I was struggling, I was slapped on the back. I screamed and threw myself to the ground, my whole body was sinking like a stone, and I had to gasp violently, and this would be the same for Chen Yu next to me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked back to see that the person who patted me was a little Taoist priest, who stared at the mask and said, "Blue girl, are you sure that the lines engraved on this golden mask are the map of this Yin Palace?"

Lan Quexi nodded and said, "It's not exactly the same, the map I've seen is not as simple as on the mask, but although the lines are simple, from the various branches and forks, it won't be ......wrong."

I was confused, and thought to myself: Is the map of the underworld arranged in a regular pattern on the golden mask? I stood up, stunned and looked at the mask, only to see that the four eyes on the mask were like small green light bulbs, emitting a strange light.

"Xiaoliuzi, don't look at those four eyes too much...... "The old ancestor reminded me: "I chatted with Brother Liu so happily just now that I forgot to tell you." ”

I was embarrassed, and then I wondered, "How can these eyes be so strange? ”

The old ancestor said: "This person is the 'four-eyed eyes', and these four-eyed eyes are the gods imagined by the Chu people. One of his eyes represents heaven and earth, and the other three eyes symbolize the sun and moon, mountains, and rivers. The more you look at it, the brighter your eyes become, and the brighter you get, the more confused your mind will be, and you will be taken to another world.

"Where is this god? It's simply the ancestor of the ghostly spirit, you can see me confused by every eye......" Chen Yu scolded and stood up.

In ancient times, the common people were not allowed to look directly at the gods, which was disrespectful and would be punished by the gods. I didn't believe it at first, but after experiencing it myself, I realized that this was true.

And those four eyes were judged by the ancestors to be the "pearl of the night". This "night pearl" glows with a fluorescent glow, similar to the light of emeralds, which is a good material. Before the coffin was opened, I saw four such high-quality "night pearls", so what would be the coffin where Princess Chu was?

Chen Yu came back to his senses, saw that the four eyes were the night pearl, he was excited at the moment, and said incoherently: "Oh my God, this is a pure natural 'night pearl', you must know that the level of the night pearl is high, not the average rich person can have, what can be used are Qin Shi Huang, Empress Wu such a well-known figure, it is really a priceless treasure, if I want to collect this, it will be famous in the antique world, the sky is ......." Chen Yule couldn't go on, just stretched out his hand and walked towards the mask, Baocai listened to what he said, and couldn't bear the excitement and walked over. The old ancestor sighed, grabbed their collars quickly, and said, "If you have a fate, you can take a look, and if you want to take it off, you will fall into the evil way." As the saying goes, 'the world's greatest treasure, extraordinary people enjoy it...... 'you two must have the life of a king, can shake the breath of this treasure, take it as you like. If you want to keep your life, and go back to eat meat and drink wine, put away the thief's eyes, and don't look there. ”

The words of the ancestor have their own weight, Chen Yu swallowed his saliva when he heard it, and the treasure also shrank his head, not looking at the evil "night pearl".
