Chapter Seventy-Nine: Reborn from the Fire
"What do you mean it's time?" I was confused. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The old ancestor walked up to me, looked at the black and heavy mouth above his head, and said: "There is no light in the heavens and the earth, the black dog swallows the sun, and the yin qi gathers, see if something ominous is about to happen......"
"Black Dog Swallowing the Sun?" I repeated, I thought that the white light disappeared because of the thick clouds covering the sun, but I didn't expect the ancestor to say that this phenomenon is "Black Dog Swallowing the Sun".
"Black dog swallowing the sun" in our time is actually a total solar eclipse, in 2008, I have seen it, very magical, no wonder it is an ominous sign in the eyes of the ancients whose vision has not yet been civilized.
Although I know what a total solar eclipse represents, I can't help but feel uneasy in my heart in a place like the underground palace, where yin energy is condensed. I understand the words of the four women, but what do they mean?
At this time, I was on high alert, and just as I was guessing, I suddenly heard the sound of water behind me. Looking back, I felt a chill from the top of my head down every inch of my skin to the soles of my feet.
The pool's blood began to gush on its own, like the exaggerated gushing of plasma from the movies. After gushing for a while, it seemed to be sucked by some force, and it circulated there sharply, with a strong bloody aura, and finally there was a "bang", as if a sewer pipe was installed underneath, and all of a sudden, a pool of blood was gone, leaving only a thin layer at the top end.
"Damn, what's the situation!" Bao Cai grabbed me, eager to get into my flesh and become one with me.
I moved him away and wondered, "Where did all this blood go? This mountain has no mountain spirits, it can't be the blood of a mountain cannibal!" I glanced back at the four witches, and their faces showed a rare smile, but the smile was incomprehensible, and they seemed to be longing for something bloody to happen. I thought to myself, "These four women don't look like normal people, they don't move, is there any conspiracy?"
Baocai looked at it in horror: "Is it that the fierce ghost came out of the cage and sucked blood?"
In the face of such a strange scene, I couldn't think about it, so I said perfunctorily: "The ghost is not a vampire Count Dracula, and he is not afraid of choking when he sucks so much blood!
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of the palm slapping the wooden board and the heavy wheezing sound from the abutment where Chen Yu was, and I was shocked, thinking that Lao Li's wound was painful and couldn't hold it anymore, so I said with concern: "Lao Li, are you okay?"
Chen Li's eyes were fixed on the abutment, then he looked at me in a daze, shook his fat face, and said, "It's not me, below!" He pointed his finger, obviously not recovering from his shock, otherwise with his temperament, he would have jumped up a long time ago.
I had the feeling that my brain had been slammed, and I looked at the abutment dumbfounded, and the abutment had regained its calm, but the strange thing was that the wheezing sound just now was very dull, and it sounded like a male voice!
Baocai suddenly said: "It's over, it's not a fierce ghost inside, it looks like it's a great zongzi, if it's a zongzi, it is estimated that it is also a high-level in the main coffin!"
I told him not to worry about it for now, it would have been fine, and he said that he would come later. Baocai believes in God and worships Buddha, and as soon as the evil words flickered, he gave the letter and immediately shut up.
Sensing that something was wrong, the old ancestor and I took them to the bottom of the pedestal, and Chen Yu was in charge of keeping an eye on the four witches, afraid that they would take advantage of our unpreparedness and poison them. But they just watched, some distance away from us, as if they expected us to be unable to escape.
Just when we didn't know what was happening, all of a sudden, the light on the lamppost turned from yellow to an extremely intense crimson. At this time, the little Taoist priest leaning on the black and red painted wooden fence of the abutment said: "Go up to the abutment and take a look, there is a pattern there......
I thought that the little Taoist priest could still speak, my heart warmed, I nodded, and stepped on it carefully with the old ancestor. Just now just care about getting them down, this will look again, the abutment is made of the king of the wood, the catalpa wood is immortal for thousands of years, in ancient times because the material is resistant to corrosion, mothproof, and its own texture is beautiful, it was made into coffins, boats, wooden tire lacquerware, is for the tribute wood, ordinary people can not enjoy.
I looked at the pattern on the catalpa wood, which was carved in a yang way, and the outer layer was painted with bright colors such as turquoise and russet on the basis of vermilion lacquer. The figure carved on it is a burly and strong figure, with his hands outstretched upwards, and a blazing fire that envelops the phoenix and the dragon. The dragon and phoenix are the mother art in the world of the Chu people, but they have a deep meaning in this underground palace. It symbolizes Sima Yan and Qi Ling. Just looking at them wrapped in flames, rolling towards Shu Yun, as if they were about to break through the sky, this scene is displayed with heavy colors, and it is integrated with the carving, especially lifelike.
What is the special meaning of this carving? The old ancestor pondered for a moment and said, "This person is the fire god Zhu Rong, the ancestor of the Chu people...... He rubbed his chin, frowned slightly, and muttered: "The dragon and phoenix are bathed in fire, does it indicate that they are reborn in the fire?"
Although I know that the Chu people believe in ghosts, worship witches, and worship good worship, and have a very strong belief in mythology, just like the Danes living in a fairy tale world, is the carving on this pedestal really just a symbol of worshipping ancestors? After all, "rebirth from the ashes" represents the resurrection of the dead, and it feels strange in the ancient tomb.
However, on the other hand, this picture also symbolizes the "ascension of immortals", thinking that Sima Yan chose the main coffin here, through a good place to hide the wind and absorb the qi, and it is facing the sky, I am afraid that I want to go to the sky through the mountain pass.
My ancestor and I stood up, and after the main coffin was lit, we found that there was a huge open-carved wooden door behind the abutment, the wooden door was about ten meters wide and more than two meters high, and it was connected with the bronze wall in one place, independent into a room. On the wooden door, there are mostly sorcerer sacrifice pictures and some birds and beasts that worship nature.
There was silence behind the wooden door, there was no fire, and it was pitch black and indistinct, but a strange shadow could be seen standing there. I took a deep breath, captivated by the scene behind me, and was about to look through the hollowed-out wooden door, when I heard another strong gasp burst out from under my feet.
My ancestor and I looked at each other, and this time the wheezing sound was not interrupted, there was a feeling like a patient on a ventilator, very heavy, and there was a strange sound in it, like the sound of water sliding in a bathtub.
I was terrified, and thought to myself, "There is a tengu eclipse sun, could it be that Princess Chu buried a corpse under this abutment when she died? But since it is a corpse, how can it breathe? There can't really be any supernatural things happening, right?"
A lot of questions were in my mind, like wind chimes spinning, ringing a few times from time to time. In fact, the saying of "resurrection from the dead" is recorded in the ancient Zhiwei texts and in the official history. It is said that some people gained popularity after death, and were affected by the monsters in the dungeon, so they returned their souls.
The miracle of "coming back from the dead" can happen not only to people who have been dead for decades, but even to people who have been dead for hundreds of years. And many of the records in the official history can correspond to this statement. If you want to say that the ancients were imaginative, there would not be such a big coincidence, I thought to myself: "Isn't there really such a mysterious thing in the world?" The respite below gave Princess Chu a martyrdom and died with hatred, so he wandered at the junction of life and death, refusing to be reincarnated?"
While I was thinking about it, the old ancestor retrieved the copper scimitar from the little Taoist priest. The four shrine maidens still didn't move, but this time their excited eyes weren't looking at us, but at the abutment beneath our feet.
Because it happened suddenly, they didn't move, and we didn't have time to take care of them. According to what the ancestor said, the sharp teeth and claws (weirdos) that they could use had been pulled out anyway, and it was expected that the four women would not do much. When you figure out the wheezing sound under your feet, you can tie them up and ask them clearly!
I thought that there was still a lot of space behind the wooden door, maybe the coffin was inside, but the old ancestor bent down, put his ear on the azusa wood, and said: "No need to go, the wooden door may be a back room, and it should also be a spiritual weapon, and this is the place where the main master sleeps under your feet." ā
Hearing this, I was shocked and said, "How is it possible, if this is the main coffin, why is the wheezing sound inside a man?" It should be Princess Chu lying here!" I also expected to see the true face of Princess Chu's Lushan, after all, when I was hallucinating, I saw her back, and I thought she was a fairy sister at that time.
The old ancestor also felt strange about this, but with his experience, he should not make a mistake.
