Chapter 40: Immortal Jade, Mourning
Of course, I know that such an immortal thing must have its chances, and it may be an earth-shattering opportunity.
Master once said that no one is immortal, and on the day when no matter how capable it is, it will be extinguished, and the way of heaven does not allow eternal existence! But many emperors and generals are still going forward and succeeding, but in the end it is just a dream of immortality.
After death, the vitality is destroyed, the three souls are separated from the body, and the seven spirits are naturalized, and the body is only a shell, and there is no power to maintain the body from decay. If you want to keep the body intact, unless the soul is not scattered, or you have treasures with you to protect the body through the power of the outside world! But as soon as a person dies, the soul is basically dispersed immediately, how can it stay in the body for a long time!
The corpse is divided into three classes, and if you die without stiffness, you are a walking corpse, and the walking corpse has no soul. If there is a remnant soul left in the body, it will turn into a zombie. The last one is the carrion!
What was in front of him could not be attributed to any one kind, and Changsheng looked at it carefully, hoping to find something. When his eyes wandered to the place of the woman's hands, he found that the woman was holding a thing in her hands, he took a closer look, it was jade, it was a piece of jade with a dark light, this jade was as big as a bird's egg, bright as a bright glow, as smooth as a crisp, and the five-colored pattern was wrapped around the jade, and it was a fairy product at a glance.
Just as Changsheng, who was trying to explore, was instantly attracted by this piece of immortal jade, his eyes burned and he couldn't move a bit, and at this time, suddenly there was a sound of metal rubbing on the side! Looking back, the lid of the pure copper coffin that Changsheng hadn't opened even after his efforts just now actually slowly slid open on its own.
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis instantly surged into my heart, I trembled, and hurriedly warned Changsheng, Changsheng was also frightened by this series of strange things, he stared at the coffin lid that was slowly moving on its own, and secretly said This does not seem to be a good sign!
With this thought, the lid of the pure copper coffin was slowly fading most of it, and Changsheng and I held our breath and looked straight ahead.
"Damn, another non-rotting corpse!"
Looking at it, sure enough, there was an incorruptible corpse in the pure copper coffin, this was a man armed with full armor, just like the generals who fought on the battlefield in ancient times, his whole body was wrapped in armor, except for the face that could be seen clearly, the rest of the body was armor protection! Even the head is wearing a helmet!
My eyes drifted, and I found that the moonlight that had penetrated through the roof of the chamber just now was shining right on the heart of this corpse, and I wondered at first why there was moonlight shining down on me.
My eyes continued to wander, and I saw that the hands of this corpse were also folded on the abdomen, and suddenly I was surprised to find how the nails of the hands of this corpse could be so long, and I saw that the nails of the hands of this corpse were more than many times the number of ordinary people, and they glowed with sharp black light like sharp claws, which was quite weird!
I said secretly: "Could it be that this guy also cultivated the Nine Yin True Scripture before his death, and he couldn't ......" The light returned to the face of the corpse again, and I suddenly found that this corpse also had a beard, although it was not much, but I could still see it!
How so? I thought about it, the dead don't have a chance, it is impossible to grow a beard, this beard is obviously not owned in life, because it is uneven, like grass breaking through the ground! It's still fresh!
"Little ...... Xiao Luan'er, you ...... Do you see if this corpse is ...... At...... Moving? Changsheng snorted and uttered.
My heart shook violently, my eyes froze, and I suddenly found that the chest and abdomen of this corpse were actually rising and falling slightly, although it only fluctuated slightly every few seconds, but it was really moving!
The moonlight gathered at its heart like water, and I instantly understood that this corpse was actually swallowing moonlight!!
"Oh no, get out of here! This corpse is alive, and he is borrowing the yin power of the moonlight, and he may be revived at any time! I shouted out to Changsheng urgently!
"What, the corpse will come back to life? How can it be? "I was shocked by my loud shout, Changsheng hasn't reacted yet!
"Hurry up, it seems that this corpse is the last protection of this bureau, it borrows the yin power of the moonlight, keeps the corpse from decaying, and the vitality in the body is not extinguished, and the yin power contained in the moonlight slowly recovers the vitality in the body, look at the beard and nails he grows...... I'm afraid he's already back to life and may recover at any time, and I can't explain much now! Let's hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late to leave! "I'm quite anxious and a little incoherent!
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the copper pot torch swayed, as if it could be extinguished at any time, and it was very weird, Changsheng's body trembled, and a chill swept through his body!
"Phew, hoo!!" A dull breathing sound instantly echoed in the stone room, and I was also terrified, and the chill invaded!
Damn, it's on the spot, this corpse has sensed that someone has invaded the ancient tomb, and it seems that it is about to wake up! The breath is out!
"Let's go, it's too late!" I shouted! At this time, Changsheng suddenly reached out and reached into the purple coffin.
"Do you still have time to pick up something? Let's go! I shouted! Changsheng was stunned as if a demon, he ignored me completely, only to see him grab the piece of jade and pull it out.
At this time, an extremely strange vision occurred, the male corpse in full armor suddenly burned, like a deflated ball, and the murderous corpse that was ready to burst out at any time a second ago turned into a dry corpse in such an instant.
And the female corpse like a picturesque beauty suddenly weathered and turned into dust and smoke in her eyes.
This sudden upheaval and misfortune made me and Changsheng collapse in a panic.
"How do you know that jade is the key?" I asked curiously.
"Guess ......," Changsheng replied, gasping.
"You ......"
It took us a long time to calm down before we approached the coffin again.
The dried corpse was burned by nameless fire, the whole body was black and gray, and there were no burial goods in the coffin. After taking a closer look, he found that the abdomen of the dried corpse had a distinct light-colored bulge, which attracted Changsheng's attention. The abdomen shouldn't be a place with bones, what is this?
Using the dagger that had killed the unicorn fetus, he carefully cut open the abdomen of the dried corpse, and Changsheng found a small porcelain bottle, about the thickness of his index finger, and the length was about the same as a matchbox, probably swallowed by this person before he died, and it had been fused with the flesh and skin of the abdomen.
Holding the small porcelain vase, Changsheng looked at it for a long time, "Could it be that such a big battle is for this?" "Immortal muttered to himself.
"I think it's for that piece of jade, it's so beautiful and beautiful, and it can also keep the corpse from rotting, and the immortal ......," I interjected.
Changsheng put the porcelain vase in his pocket and continued to look for it, but there was no other discovery, fortunately, this trip to the tomb was thrilling, thank Master for blessing.
After a fire, the dried corpse was completely burned, and the unicorn game was completely over......
……
In the evening, Changsheng peeled off the wax seal at home and opened the small porcelain vase.
A map is presented to us, the thin filaments of the zuò map are as thin as the glutinous rice paper used to wrap milk candy in modern times, almost transparent but full of toughness, wrapped in a roll and stuffed into a porcelain bottle. But judging from the materials used to draw this map, this silk weaving technology, which far surpasses the highest modern textile level, is simply a fairy technical work.
This map is about the size of two palms, the pattern on it is painted with a black dye that is definitely not ink, a faint layer, the front and back do not affect each other, the front of the map is a continuous mountain range and several forks, at the end of a fork in the road painted a statue, some blurry and unclear, the back of the statue is a zigzag and winding passage, there are a lot of ten forks on both sides of the channel, the following paragraph is written with some strange words long two large paragraphs, it seems to be a seal carving, but it is not recognizable at all.
"What kind of Chinese character is this..."Changsheng also has some research on calligraphy, the most difficult to recognize ancient Chinese characters are oracle bone inscriptions and ancient seal inscriptions, but the words on this map have nothing to do with either, to be precise, it doesn't look like words at all, but it's crooked like a small charm.
"Is it a password?" Changsheng muttered to himself, and at the same time came back to his senses and said to me, "Ye Xiaoluan, why haven't you spoken for a long time?" ”
This little broken Taoist priest finally remembered me, I, Ye Xiaoluan, can now be regarded as a senior female ghost who has seen the world and experienced strong winds and waves, but I am not an ordinary gray shadow ghost, I didn't expect that after Changsheng opened the map and I looked at those few lines of small characters, the feeling was a little familiar, and after looking at it carefully, a cold sweat couldn't help but break out, and the expressions on the grimace were distorted.
Changsheng could see me at this hour, and he was also frightened when he saw the girl's expression distorted and terrifying.
"I... I said, "You ...... What is this for..."Changsheng is not good to say.
"This is the text," I stared at the few lines of small print, "no matter what, we must not go to the places on the map...", I swallowed, and spoke incoherently. "But wherever there is a text engraved on it, it is not a good stubble! Master is gone, and I want you to live a few more years! ”
According to Taoism, the evil ghost and the living cannot communicate with each other in words, and the evil ghost can only be attached to the human body in order to speak to the living with the help of the physical body, that is, the upper body of the ghost.
However, not every soul has the ability to haunt a living person, hence this kind of martyrdom. It is said that it can even communicate with the animals of the immortals, and the original text is only pronunciation without words, and in later generations, there are some capable people who have invented writing for this kind of writing. Because this kind of script is really difficult to learn, no matter what dynasty it is, the number of people who can master this language spoken to ghosts is always in the single digits.
To this day, it is unknown whether anyone can still read and write this kind of script.
As to whether I could read or see something, I remained silent.
Now I don't know that fate is always inescapable, and it will always be gently revealed inadvertently.
