Chapter 271: The Female Corpse in the Tomb
Poof, after You Yang and Bai Chen jumped down the tree hole, they found that the intricate banyan tree roots were actually empty, and those roots extended to both sides, so that the middle was empty.
This earthen cave goes vertically, and it is more than fifty meters high or even deeper than the jungle above the tree hole. After You Yang and Bai Chen landed, they immediately strengthened their vigilance.
Finding that there was nothing going on around, You Yang and Bai Chen turned on the spotlight on their helmets, and the two of them took a look and found that in this vertical hole, there was another tunnel ahead, and the whole pattern was equivalent to an L-shaped letter.
And You Yang and Bai Chen were at the turn of the L-shaped letter, and Chen Dong, who was swept away by the giant snake, was at the end of the L-letter, that is, You Yang and Bai Chen were standing in that direction, and they could see Chen Dong when they looked forward.
After the big snake swept Chen Dong into the tunnel, but he didn't know where to run, You Yang saw Chen Dong standing at the end of the tunnel by the light of the spotlight on his helmet, without any reaction, as if something in front of him was attracting his attention, making him stand in place stunned, as if he was stunned.
You Yang and Bai Chen could even see in front of Chen Dong, faintly flashing some purple light.
"Brother Yang, did you see it?" Bai Chen asked.
You Yang nodded and said; "Let's go, go over and have a look." As he spoke, he lifted Chen Dong's luggage that he had left here.
As soon as You Yang and Bai Chen walked over, they were immediately attracted by a tree trunk that separated from the middle in front of the end of the tunnel, only to see that a dark red object was revealed in the cracked tree, which was rectangular in shape, and the two sides on the top were rounded into rounded corners.
The spotlight on You Yang and Bai Chen's heads shone through the gap in the trees, emitting a faint purple halo, what is this?
You Yang and Bai Chen had doubts in their hearts.
"It's a coffin!" Chen Dong said, and completely split the trunk that seemed to be separated with one palm, and this split, the thing in the middle of the trunk finally revealed its full appearance.
"Oh my God...... This witch king is too extravagant!! After Bai Chen saw the thing in the middle of the trunk at the bottom of the cave, he couldn't help but exclaim.
Chen Dong on the side asked, "Which of you two knows, is this coffin jade or crystal?" How could it be such a quirky color? I think it's a little like bloodstone. ”
You Yang and Bai Chen didn't answer Chen Dong's words, they just looked intently, and saw that in the middle of the trunk, most of the transparent coffins like jade and crystal were exposed, which were extremely smooth and translucent, and there was a layer of milky white as thin cicada wings on the outside, and the inside gradually turned red, and the deeper the inside, the darker it became, as if it was full of crimson blood. Most of them are entangled in various parasitic plants, making it difficult to get a full picture of them.
You Yang and the others had never seen such a material, and after a closer look, they found that it was made of translucent jade, with a layer of crystal inside, and a large amount of crimson liquid in it, and those liquids were like blood.
Judging from the appearance alone, this is a rare jade coffin.
Bai Chen saw this strange jade coffin clearly, and couldn't help but wonder: "This is obviously the coffin of the deceased, and the material is Tibetan heavenly jade, not jade produced near southern Xinjiang." But...... How could there be such a big jade coffin in the tree? That's right...... The place where we are now is already within the scope of the Witch King's Tomb, and this coffin is likely to be the companion tomb of the main tomb, but why did the coffin grow into the tree in the cave in the ground? ”
Chen Dong said: "You have to ask You Yang about this, doesn't he always say that there are no various feng shui tombs in Huaxia that he doesn't know?" Let him explain the explanation. ”
You Yang shook his head and said: "It's hard for you, since ancient times, when building tombs, they have paid attention to having a sealed tree, and the tree is used as a sign of the tomb, built in front of the sealed mound, so that the mausoleum pattern has the appearance of blessing descendants, but I have never seen anyone put the coffin in the body of the tree, and this tree is still planted in the hole, which is not a system." ”
You Yang's doubts are not unreasonable.
Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties in China, there has been a theory of feng shui, burying the dead, and always paying attention to "negative yang and yin, relying on mountains and water", how can there be a reason to hang on the tree.
And this old tree still grows in the cave of the tomb of the Witch King in Panlong Mountain.
Even if it's not in a burrow, it grows in the jungle at the exit, it's not suitable.
Although the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and fog, and the trend of the mountain range is not clear, it can be seen from the map that this mountain only has a single ridge and a lone peak, which is a single dragon.
It is written very clearly in "Xuanwu Divine Physiognomy": the dragon is afraid of loneliness and cold, and it should not be really dangerous to look around.
Although the terrain is high in the east and low in the west, it is too lonely and a bottomless valley, so this area is by no means a suitable place to place a mausoleum.
What's more, the old tree is the first of the five evils of the yin house!
There are old trees, Dushan, broken streams, bald ridges, and rocks near the left side of the burial room, all of which are evil and bad, and must not be buried: there are old trees that grab the wind and seize the air; If there is a single mountain, there is less entanglement, the main is not melted and there is no knot, and yin and yang are bound to clash with each other; If there is a broken stream, the main vein is bitter and the soil is dry, and when the water vein is broken, the vitality is also isolated; If there is a sudden anger of the rocks, and the rocks are grandiose, then the lord is fierce, and there are many evil spirits of the land; If there is a bald ridge, it is called a lifeless place.
However, these places are not just vicious places, and it may be more appropriate to establish temples and ancestral halls, which will play a role in mediating the situation, but it is not suitable to bury the dead as a mansion.
Therefore, let alone using trees as graves, this completely violates the theory of feng shui situation, and it is impossible to generalize about what qi veins, mingtang, water mouths, dragons, caves, sand, water, xiang, etc.
You Yang was puzzled, but this transparent jade coffin was really rare, what was the liquid inside? Is it really blood? Whose blood would that be?
You Yang stepped forward and touched the jade coffin with his fingers, the tentacles were cold and lubricated, it was really a rare piece of beautiful jade, and what was even more rare was that the whole body was flawless, and it was so big that it was not easy for even the Imperial Palace Ouchi to find such a good jade.
The jade coffin is placed horizontally in the middle of the tree, due to the extrusion of the entangled growth of the tree body, and the breakage of a part of the tree body that supports it, the jade coffin that was originally placed flat in the tree is slightly tilted.
There are several small cracks in the downward sloped coffin lid and the coffin body, which are probably caused by the combined action of various forces over time, and the blood-like liquid in the coffin slowly seeps out along the cracks, and falls on the jade tomb bed under the jade coffin.
At this time, Bai Chen on the side took out a dagger, peeled off the plant rhizomes on the lid of the jade coffin with a knife, put on gloves, and swept the lid of the coffin a few times.
The top of the jade coffin immediately revealed a lot of finely carved patterns, a whole layer is engraved with mandarin ducks, wild geese, foxes, rabbits, roe deer, deer, dragons and other rare birds and beasts that symbolize auspiciousness and spirituality, and the four corners also have different forms of symmetrical arrangement of flowers and grass ornaments.
The jade coffin is surrounded by a shading pattern engraved with lotus petals, decorated with a diamond-shaped honeysuckle relief, and there is a small phoenix with a realistic expression in the middle of each side, and the phoenix holds an indescribable flower in its mouth.
Bai Chen raised his head and said to You Yang and Chen Dong: "The reliefs on these jade coffins are peaceful and docile, although their demeanor is a little sluggish, but the knife technique is simple and bright, gorgeous and deep. This form of expression with a high degree of artistic coverage is very close to the quaint style of the Qin and Han dynasties, which should be the accompanying tomb of the Witch King, and there will be no mistake. ”
"You Yang, there is a situation in this cave!" Chen Dong suddenly shouted.
You Yang and Bai Chen turned around and saw that at the bottom of this natural cave, there was a stone corridor, starting from a small building like a sacrificial platform and leading to the jade coffin.
You Yang and Bai Chen could vaguely see through the spotlight above their heads that at the end of the corridor was a stone platform with more than a dozen steps, on which a jade bed was placed, and there seemed to be a person lying on it!
And Chen Dong didn't know when, in this huge underground cave, he found that person.
When You Yang Baichen saw it, he immediately put down the jade sarcophagus and walked over.
"Watch what you have in your head." Chen Dong reminded.
You Yang and Bai Chen were stunned, it turned out that the cave was too dark, and they could barely see their fingers, and when they came, their eyes were all attracted by the jade coffin in the cave, and they didn't check the situation on the top of the cave.
Immediately, You Yang and Bai Chen took out the wolf's eyes from their backpacks, pressed the switch, and as soon as the strong flashlight light was irradiated, the situation in the cave was clearly visible, although the illuminated light could not touch the entire underground cave, but the situation in front of them could be seen clearly.
Looking at the scene in front of them, You Yang and Bai Chen couldn't help but gasp, only to see that the place where they could see was full of all kinds of corpses, and they couldn't see their heads at all, it was definitely not a scene that could be formed by dozens or hundreds of corpses.
You Yang roughly estimated the number of corpses hanging in this underground cave, which was about three or four thousand.
These corpses swayed in the wind, looking like wind chimes made of many bones, this feeling was very uncomfortable, You Yang and Bai Chen took a closer look, and found that the hanging corpses, human and animal ones, most of them had completely dried up, and a few of them were also very corrupt, and there was a foul smell in the air from time to time.
And large and small corpses are densely packed like flies to gnaw on these corpses.
"You Yang, this and this...... This Nima, let's go into the nest of corpse insects, it's too terrifying!! Bai Chen was so frightened that his legs trembled, because the number of those corpse cockroaches was probably tens of thousands.
If all these corpse cockroaches rushed down, Bai Chen really couldn't imagine it, I'm afraid that all three of them would die here today.
"Don't be afraid, move lightly." You Yang said, and took Bai Chen to tiptoe to Chen Dong's side.
"Brother Yang, look." Chen Dong stretched out his hand and pointed.
You Yang and Bai Chen adjusted the luminosity of the wolf's eyes, and when they looked closely, they couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that there was not only a corpse lying on the stone platform.
Next to the corpse they saw lay a young woman, covered with a white veil, with closed eyes and a serene countenance, and she looked a little handsome, and there was no sign of decay on her body, and if you didn't look closely, she thought she was sleeping.
