213 Gathering the Soul
Tang Zhendong really didn't expect Professor Zhong to speak so highly of Xu Fu.
"Professor Zhong, don't you think Xu Fu is just a charlatan who can deceive people."
Professor Zhong laughed, "The deceitful warlock can be famous all over the world, it is definitely not a simple warlock, Qin Shi Huang unified the eight directions, ruled the **, combined vertical and horizontal, majestic and strategic, the Warring States Six Kingdoms, there are wise monarchs, there are bold princes, there are brave and fierce generals, there are strategists who are the best in the world, what is the result, it is not destroyed by Qin Shi Huang, but Xu Fu can play Qin Shi Huang in the palm of his hand, when the world mentions Qin Shi Huang, he can always bring Xu Fu with him, there are many generals who are enemies of ten thousand enemies in that era, There are many wise strategists in the world, but Xu Fu, as a 'liar' in the eyes of the world, can become famous all over the world, isn't this very illustrative. ”
Tang Zhendong's feelings for Professor Zhong's bosom friend, although Master Xu Zhuo didn't tell him much about his ancestor Xu Fu, but Tang Zhendong had another idea when he was young: This person is by no means simple,
Now, Professor Chung supports his idea,
The two talked very speculatively, Professor Zhong was knowledgeable and had profound insights on many historical issues, which benefited Tang Zhendong a lot.
The two talked about history in the middle of the night, until the middle of the moon, and the bottle of liquor that Professor Zhong took out was also wiped out in the conversation between the two.
Professor Zhong and Tang Zhendong lived in a tent, lying in the tent, and the two began to discuss the use of this soul-gathering willow in Guiguzi again, Tang Zhendong did not hide it, and told Professor Zhong the truth about his thoughts,
When Professor Zhong heard Tang Zhendong boil down the formation to complicated calculations, he knew that Tang Zhendong had already obtained the true meaning of the formation.
Because Professor Zhong has also studied some Qimen Dunjia, but he has not achieved any results, especially for those complicated calculations, the calculation is big, and he still can't figure it out, but he does know the principles of some formations.
However, Professor Zhong can understand only that, he can understand the formation a little bit, but for the things of gods and ghosts, he really can't understand it, Professor Zhong is better at considering things from a scientific point of view, such as the complicated calculations in Qimen Dunjia, this can be understood, but once the formation is successful, the successful use of the formation to attract the power of heaven and earth, these things Professor Zhong has never succeeded, so he can't understand it,
It is even more impossible for Professor Zhong to understand those things that are mysterious and ghostly, which is also the embodiment of Professor Zhong's true colors as an intellectual.
The two of them discussed these things for several hours, until Professor Zhong couldn't support it anymore, so he fell asleep.
The next day's work was to open the coffin,
In fact, Professor Zhong planned to explore the tomb behind the vines first, but the management department of Longhu Mountain did not agree, because at this time, many people had fainted for no reason, including tourists and two archaeological team members who entered the tomb.
Professor Zhong's idea is based on his feeling that the problem is in the tomb, and it is very likely that as Ye Xian guessed, what kind of medicine can make people unconscious is coated on the coffin, so Professor Zhong's idea is to take a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, wait for experts in the capital, on the other hand, he and others carefully go to the tomb to find out if there are any such drug residues that make people unconscious, take out samples of these drug residues, pass through these samples, and then find the reason why these people fainted, and prescribe the right medicine.
Professor Zhong is the person in charge of the archaeological team, and he could have forced himself into the cave, but he also understood the concerns of the management, and he also wanted to know why these people fainted, so if the experts checked the exact results, they would enter the cave again, which was the safest way.
While waiting for the experts to inspect it, Professor Zhong decided to open the second coffin to see what was inside.
This is also the first time Tang Zhendong has participated in such an event.
On the coffin that is ready to be opened, a large sunshade net is built, in order to prevent direct sunlight and damage to the objects inside the coffin, because the objects in the coffin have been in a dark and lightless environment for thousands of years, once this environment is changed, it is likely to encounter unimaginable consequences.
However, if you want to completely make the external environment the same as the environment inside the coffin, you can't do it, you can only try to be as similar as the original environment in the existing environment.
It is possible to completely avoid light, only try to keep it out of direct sunlight,
This coffin of golden silk nanmu has gone through more than 2,000 years, although it has gone through thousands of years, but the wisps of gold thread on the coffin are still clearly visible.
The coffin was sealed very well, and several people worked hard to finally open the coffin lid.
The lid of the coffin was sealed with an unknown black object, and after the lid was opened, the black object turned into powder and scattered, no wonder it was soaked in water for several hours, but no trace of moisture entered.
Seeing the appearance of a few strong young men lifting the lid of the coffin with all their might, Tang Zhendong really wanted to go up to help them, but the cautious appearance of these people made Tang Zhendong dare not touch his hands.
When the coffin lid was just opened, if Tang Zhendong was asked to make a move, he would directly punch the coffin lid away, where would it be like these people for more than three hours.
Fortunately, the morning started early, otherwise it is estimated that lunch will be delayed.
The lid of the coffin was slowly opened, and everyone gathered around to see what was inside the coffin, including the young men who lifted the lid of the coffin, and they all leaned over to watch.
Only Tang Zhendong was not far behind, did not squeeze over, these people were curious about the contents of the coffin that had just been opened, in fact, Tang Zhendong had already seen it, yesterday when he heard that there was a soul gathering willow in the open coffin, he had already checked the unopened coffin placed by the river with his spirit,
Different from the soul-gathering willow unearthed after opening, there is a short copper rod in this coffin, which is the same length and thickness as the soul-gathering willow described by Professor Zhong, but there are six words written on this copper rod "Soul Fixing Needle, Guiguzi." ”
"Soul Fixing Needle, Soul Gathering Willow, could it be that these two magic weapons, one gold and one wood, really work on the soul of the human body." Tang Zhendong had never heard of the formation of this Soul Fixing Needle and Soul Gathering Willow, so he had no way of knowing the true effect of this formation.
However, if Tang Zhendong is allowed to enter the tomb, in these two coffins, oh, that is, the formation where this soul needle and the soul gathering willow are located, he may still be able to see a little way,
But just looking at these two magic flags that are out of the eye of the formation out of thin air, even if Tang Zhendong is extremely wise, he can't think of the role of these two magic weapons forming a formation.
However, this place is far enough away from the location of the tomb on the top of the mountain, and Tang Zhendong's spirit is indeed undetectable.
Although he couldn't peek into the mystery of the Guiguzi formation, Tang Zhendong discovered a secret in the coffin: just when everyone was paying attention to the soul fixing needle born in the coffin, he was using his spirit to check the open coffin lid, there were runes on the coffin lid, hook Yaya, non-words and non-paintings, if you let Tang Zhendong say it, it would be like a talisman used by Taoist priests,
But these talismans seem to have a special mystery, but Tang Zhendong has never studied the talismans, and he can't peek into the mystery of this talisman.
According to Tang Zhendong's inference, these talismans work together with the copper rod of the soul fixing needle.
Tang Zhendong guessed that the function of this formation is to absorb the soul of the person, or to fix the soul of the person, to be able to use the formation to absorb the soul of the person, and there is no need to be taboo day and night, how much mana is required,
You must know that Tang Zhendong can only absorb the soul at night with the help of the ancient innate five elements flag, and can only absorb the soul at night, when the day comes, the yang energy is full, and the magic circle will automatically collapse, and the soul inside will also scatter and flee and return to the body, but in this magic circle composed of soul fixing needles and soul gathering willows, absorbing people's souls can be divided into day and night, which can only be done by people with magical powers, you must know that everything in heaven and earth has its own laws, and there are constraints that must be observed, but this magic circle can break through this constraint, Therefore, Tang Zhendong concluded that this magic circle must be very exquisite,
This exquisite formation, there is no corpse in the coffin where it was born, only talismans and magic weapons, and there are inscriptions on the magic weapons, and the inscriptions clearly say Guiguzi, presumably even if this is not Guiguzi's tomb, it is also a person close to him.
Tang Zhendong's desire to enter the cave was even more urgent.
However, now is not the time to enter the cave, because Professor Zhong has just received the news, and the experts in the capital have just arrived at this moment, and they still need to conduct a certain examination of the unconscious.
"There are no bodies here." A local researcher said,
"Another empty coffin."
Tang Zhendong's spirit retreated from the talisman and turned to Professor Zhong's side, Professor Zhong wore white gloves and took out the copper rod engraved with the soul fixing needle in the coffin with a very strict expression.
You know, bronze is very precious in antiques, bronze is not qualified for ordinary people, of course, in modern times, the bronze unearthed in the tomb is more precious,
In ancient times, bronze was called bronze, and now that the smelting technology has improved, brass and red copper have appeared.
Professor Zhong carefully looked at the bronze rod in his hand, saying that it was a bronze rod, but in fact, there were patterns on it, although the patterns were not obvious, the patterns on the bronze rod were a headless human body, echoing the head of the villain carved on the soul gathering willow.
Turning over the bronze rod, there are also words engraved on the back,
"There are words, there are words."
Professor Zhong took out a magnifying glass, looked at the words on it carefully, and then read it softly, "Soul Fixing Needle, Guiguzi." ”
It's Guiguzi again, and the surrounding archaeological team members and researchers, hearing Professor Zhong's words, they are also very curious, because a willow branch engraved with Guiguzi was unearthed in the coffin before, and now a copper rod of Guiguzi has come out.
