Chapter 276: Gathering the Ghost Tree!
Chen Dong and Bai Chen took a closer look, and sure enough, this was the case, and they couldn't help but look at each other, they had encountered countless incredible things along the way, could it be that there was some kind of monster in this? Is it better to open it or not?
Chen Dongyi gritted his teeth and said, "It is estimated that all the clues in this tomb are inside, but if you don't go over, won't you come in vain?" What if you have zongzi in your mother's house? We have guns and cannons now, but we can't do it, so we just copy the guy and fight with it. ”
You Yang nodded and said: "Actually, if you think about it the other way, there is nothing in this tomb, it is nothing more than two situations, first, after opening the bronze blood coffin, the witch king inside will be resurrected or something, and second, there may be a secret passage under this coffin, tempting us to continue to search deeply." This is the same situation that Dong Ge and I encountered last time we went to the tomb of Zhou, when we opened the sarcophagus, we found that there was a secret door in the coffin, and there were those unbelievable things below. ”
"What do you and Brother Dong mean, to put it bluntly, you just have to watch it?" Bai Chen asked.
"Yes!" You Yang and Chen Dong said at the same time; "If we just give up, we will not be reconciled!"
"Since you have all decided, I, Bai Chen, will give up my life to accompany the gentleman, let's go, let's go and have a look." With that, Bai Chen took the lead and walked over.
You Yang and Chen Dong smiled at each other, and followed quickly, and the three of them followed the light of the wolf's eyes, and looked at it from a distance, looking very desolate.
At this time, Chen Dong pointed to the giant tree at the entrance of the cave and said: "You see, the top of this giant tree is very close to the top of the cave, and there are many vines derived from the tree to the outside of the top of the cave, this is simply a natural ladder, and there are so many branches on the whole tree, it is very easy to climb, which is just conducive to us to get out of this L-shaped hole." ”
Bai Chen nodded and said, "Brother Dong, you have observed quite carefully, but this giant tree in this cave is really magical, it doesn't see a trace of sunshine all year round, and it is a miracle that it can grow so big in this yin-heavy cave." ”
"The name of this giant tree is the Soul Tree, which is a unique variety in southern Xinjiang, and it is also known as the Gathering Ghost Tree, because they all grow in places with strong yin energy, and there are a lot of ghosts and ghosts in that place. This is just like us humans, if they are allowed to live in this place, it is estimated that they will be sick and die young. Even a person with extremely yang energy like Dong Ge won't be able to survive for long. You Yang said.
"Go, you're dying young." Chen Dong said; "I've heard from the elders of our village about this kind of tree, and they say that if you bury people next to the ghost tree, their souls won't be captured by the ghosts when they die. And the branches of this tree can also be made into magic weapons, if someone's feng shui is not good, or the yin qi is very heavy, use the branches of this tree to make a wooden sword, hang it in the center of the door, within seven days, their family's yin qi and ghost qi will be collected by the ghost sword. ”
Bai Chen was stunned, the usefulness of the tree was quite extensive, but he had a question in his heart, so he asked; "Brother Dong, what do you mean when you say that this witch king buried his coffin in the trunk of the ghost tree? Could it be that he wants to trap his soul in this tree for eternity? ”
"Yes, I'm also quite depressed, the ghost tree is usually rare, let alone the giant ghost tree in this cave."
Chen Dong's face was full of doubts, looking at the bronze blood coffin placed in the center of the trunk, and said; "And the blood coffin placed in it is also very interesting, You Yang also said just now, since the Witch King buried himself in Panlong Mountain, and set up layers of mechanisms outside, but after we came in, he deliberately set up mechanisms and released his coffin to show us, but the iron chain on it was layer by layer, as if something important was locked inside, and he was afraid of something popping out."
Bai Chen nodded, what Chen Dong said was very reasonable, every sentence was the most critical, and it was also the most confusing.
In all fairness, he admired Chen Dong in his heart, although the two had not known each other for a long time, but after getting along for the past few days, Bai Chen's understanding of him was not to look at this big man, straightforward personality, and even a little careless, but when it came to doing things, it was not ambiguous at all.
"Okay, there's nothing to be done here, let's go over and have a look."
After You Yang finished speaking, he walked in front with a gun, Chen Dong and Bai Chen followed behind him, and the three of them walked over slowly, when they came in just now, they were in a hurry, and they didn't look carefully, it turned out that around the Gathering Ghost Tree, there were still some altars, and there were four of them, which were placed in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions of the Gathering Ghost Tree.
Each altar is built up of large pieces of stone and rock, and the volume is very large, I don't know how it was brought in, and there are some deer-headed cranes carved on the steps, which is very rare.
You Yang and the three of them couldn't help but wonder, who was this witch king, and why the specifications of the tomb were so bizarre.
At this time, the three of them had already walked to the front of the tree hole, and then they saw clearly that the hole was first cracked by Chen Dong's palm, and then Chen Dong accidentally touched the mechanism in the stone bed, and the big tree was torn open by more than a dozen iron chains inside, and the huge bronze blood coffin was in front of them.
Except for the broken crystal coffin outside, this bronze blood coffin was at least two meters and five meters long, and You Yang and the three of them also saw that it was densely engraved with inscriptions.
A thousand years ago, the writing of southern Xinjiang was more complicated, because it was a multi-ethnic region, so many of them were their ethnic languages. This witch king also wrote the script of the southern Yunnan region he ruled.
And the "Xuanwu Divine Physiognomy" that You Yang learned has a lot of words that have been inherited or lost in history, even if it is the earliest oracle bone inscription, there are also in the book, so You Yang can still take a look at the things on this coffin.
At this time, I don't know why You Yang and the three of them didn't speak, as if they were afraid of waking up the tomb owner inside the coffin. Bai Chen took out the pry bar and knocked on it, there was a dull echo inside, it was definitely full of things. Looking at You Yang, Bai Chen asked him softly, "Can you understand what is written on it?" ”
You Yang shook his head and said, "I don't understand the specifics, but I can be sure that the owner of this coffin is the witch king we are looking for, and the words on it should be the deeds that happened in his life." He seems to have died before he was fifty years old, childless and childless, and as for what follows, I can't understand it. But it's vague, I can say a few words, such as the three words of the Nanban King written on it, and it is also written to pull away the Hou Yi Gong, and then the witch god is released, and then there is what kind of Nanban princess and the like, and finally it is ......"
Speaking of this, You Yang's eyes shrank sharply, as if he had seen something surprising, which made him unbelievable, seeing You Yang like this, Chen Dong knew that he must have discovered some secret, or something important, and hurriedly asked; "You Yang, did you see something from the text?"
You Yang didn't say anything, he froze in place, and didn't react at all.
"You Yang, what's wrong with you? Did you see something? Chen Dong patted You Yang, and when he saw his expression, he was very curious whether You Yang had discovered any secrets.
You Yang sighed, looked at it again, in the middle of the coffin, there was a word "Yang" written, and then below was a long list of ugly Yinmao, these words were particularly large and more eye-catching.
You Yang knew that these numbers were a day, but thousands of years ago, the princes went their own way, and the calendar was very chaotic, so he didn't know what day it was. said: "This should indicate the date of the coffin." But I don't know what day it is. ”
In fact, You Yang didn't tell Chen Dong the truth, the Yang character and Zichou were one of them, but the text behind it was about something that made him unbelievable......
Chen Dong glanced at You Yang in surprise, knowing that You Yang was not telling the truth to himself, but You Yang didn't say it, there must be his difficulties, so he simply didn't ask, but studied how to open this coffin.
When You Yang was studying the inscription, Chen Dong shook the iron chains, each of these chains was the thickness of a thumb, at that time China had just entered the Iron Age, this thing should be a luxury. After so many years, most of them have aged to the point where they are not in shape, and they can basically only be used for decoration.
Bai Chen asked You Yang and Chen Dong to get out of the way, pulled the bolt of the gun, and after a few shots, the chains were all broken, leaving only a few to fix the position.
Bai Chen asked You Yang to retreat and said, "Don't study it, pry it open and you're slowly studying!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the coffin suddenly shook itself, and a muffled sound came from inside.
Bai Chen thought he had heard it wrong at first, and was about to ask others, but suddenly there was another shock, and this time he heard it clearly, and he couldn't help but feel cold all over, and his heart was broken, there was really a problem with his mother!
At this moment, Bai Chen was not the only one who was shocked, You Yang and Chen Dong, as well as him, all three of them were so frightened that they took several steps back, although they had long thought that there would definitely be a little problem with this coffin, but when they actually encountered it, they still couldn't help but gasp.
This movement clearly indicates that there must be a moving Lord inside, and the things in the coffin can move, which is definitely not a good thing.
The most important thing is that this capable master, but the Witch King who was full of Gu magic back then, not to mention how powerful his evil arts were, I am afraid that his mastery is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
Bai Chen's face turned pale and said tremblingly; "There's something alive in there? Brother Yang, this coffin, in my opinion, let's not open it. ”
You Yang asked Bai Chen not to be afraid, then carefully looked at the seam of the coffin, shook his head; "Impossible, this coffin is very well sealed, the air cannot circulate at all, no matter what living creatures are inside, even if he has a lifespan of two thousand years, he will be suffocated to death. Besides, this is just a coffin, and there are several layers of coffins in it, so let's pry open one or two layers to hear it clearly. ”
