Chapter 72: Armor-piercing spear
Before they could see their faces, these people had already fled. A few shovels were thrown on the ground.
Xue Congliang picked up a shovel and used the handle of the shovel to pry the gap in the tomb, and with a creaking sound, the tomb was pried open.
Inside, a cold wind came out of the tomb. Xue Congliang shuddered.
In the middle of the night, a grave was opened, so that everyone had to be afraid.
The tomb is more than three meters deep and contains a coffin. Due to its age, the wood has decayed a little, and as long as you flick it with your hand, there are sawdust peeling off the coffin.
The three of them stretched out their heads curiously, looking at the things in the coffin, they were holding flashlights, and Xue Congliang slowly moved the flashlight into the coffin.
Unlike other coffins, the inside of the coffin is dry and not filled with water like a normal tomb.
A dry skeleton, lying in a quilt that had turned black. The dry bones looked like they were about six or five meters long, and the skull was on one side, and only a few bones were left on the sides of the body. The clothes on the body have long since faded due to their age, but they can still be distinguished, and the owner of the tomb was wearing a skirt at that time, and the shoes on his feet are no longer distinguishable in color.
A wooden box, placed at the feet of the tomb owner, is also old.
Unfortunately, there was no gold or silver treasure in this tomb, nor any valuable jewelry, not even the most basic jade. Why did these people dig up the tomb of this legendary Xiaohuan? Could it be that there are some hidden secrets here?
"Uncle Kong, there are no treasures here? How did they suddenly steal this tomb? Xue Congliang asked.
"Not necessarily, since they were able to find this tomb, it means that there may really be some treasure, should we look for it?" Sage Kong said. Sage Kong knew something about these crooked things, so he was a little more curious.
"Yes, Lao Kong is right, some tombs, things are not necessarily placed on the surface, they may be placed under the body." Abductor Xue said.
Since everyone said so, Xue Congliang's curiosity was also suspended.
First, he wanted to see what was inside the box.
Afraid, Xue Congliang found a wooden stick and tried to pick open the wooden box. I picked it once, but I didn't open it, and I picked it again, and the lid on the top of the box broke and opened it at the same time.
At this time, a roll of parchment appeared in the box, which was neatly folded. Strangely, the parchment looks quite sturdy, and the color is shiny, as if it has escaped the erosion of thousands of years, it is not new, but it has a simple beauty.
Xue Congliang was surprised to find such a thing here. This should be the book that Xiao Huan read before his death.
Xue Congliang reached out and picked up the parchment. It was folded and stored, and when he picked it up, the parchment was folded several times. Xue Congliang roughly counted, and there were about ten folds in total.
On these papers, lines of small fly-headed characters are written in black ink. The font is beautiful and beautiful, although a thousand years have passed, but from these fonts, Xue Congliang suddenly realized the gentleness of Xiaohuan's character and the thoughtfulness of his thoughts.
It starts like this:
From the good my husband:
Since marrying you, you and I have been in love with each other, and our love is as deep as the sea, just because you have a heavy responsibility, and you and I cannot share a good night when traveling thousands of miles away. The concubine thinks of you very much, and her body is getting worse and worse than before, and I hope that you will return to your side as soon as possible, and you and I will share the joy of family.
Now, the plague is rampant, and the concubine is sick, and it may not be possible to survive the end of the year. Only one letter was left as a souvenir. In the meantime, I have instructed my neighbors to put my wooden box in the coffin when I die. Because the concubine had read some strange books in the past, saying that after a person dies, the destined person will find the relics of his lover in a future reincarnation, so the concubine stored this letter in the tomb with the ancestral armor-piercing spear.
This armor-piercing spear, after thousands of tempering, can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth. Stored underneath for a hundred years, the spear can shine brightly, sharpening iron like clay; If it is stored for 500 years, it can collect the aura of a hundred herbs and drive away all diseases; Stored for a thousand years, it can be used with the five elements of gossip.
……
and the five elements gossip, I don't know what the purpose of the Tao is? Xue Congliang was confused, but it seemed that this thing seemed to be quite powerful.
There are still many contents of the letter, and after Xue Congliang saw this, he couldn't wait to put away the letter, and after that, sure enough, he found something under the dry body.
It is an iron box, this iron box is about one meter long, about ten centimeters wide, and the outside of the box is carved with the pattern of five elements of gossip. It seems that this thing is really related to the gossip of the five elements.
When Xue Congliang was about to open it, he found that this thing was like being welded together, and it couldn't be opened at all.
"Liangzi, don't open it yet, this thing must have been forged by the five elements, if you forcibly open it now, not only will the thousand-year-old qi be exhausted, but at the same time, it will also cause the contents of the box to turn into dust." Sage Kong said.
"Huh? It's so serious, so how can I turn it on? Xue Congliang asked.
"Did you bring the matches I asked you to bring?"
"Brought it, what's wrong?" Xue Congliang asked strangely.
"In this way, all things are in the earth, and so are people, and now the owner of the tomb is exposed between heaven and earth, and once he sees the sun, he cannot be reincarnated. Why don't we burn all this, you can keep the parchment, the items in this iron box need to be calcined before they can be reborn. Sage Kong said.
"Burn this thing?" Xue Congliang looked at the bones and said with some regret.
Sage Kong nodded.
Although it is just a tomb, Xue Congliang is reluctant. After all, this is the tomb of Xiao Huan, who had a one-day husband and wife with him, but now, he wants to burn it down, what a pity?
Sage Kong had already made the preparations, and he took out a wooden box, which was painted with a five-element pattern, which could play a role in fueling. In this way, everything here will be reborn and enter the cycle of the five elements.
Xue Congliang polished a match, and then personally lit the futon in the tomb, and in an instant, the tongue of fire swallowed the entire tomb, and the raging fire burned.
In the midst of this fire, Xue Congliang suddenly saw something shaped like wisps of green smoke, rising away.
And in the middle of the fire, the iron box was also burned crackling, and just after it was burned red, Xue Congliang saw that the five elements on the box were stretched out like a net.
Xue Congliang could see that he didn't expect such a vision to appear in this thing.
"Uncle Abduction, Uncle Kong, take a look, how can this pattern appear?" Xue Congliang couldn't stop shouting.
"The artifact, it's really an artifact, it's the most stable part of the five elements, and it's also the most important part, everything is born from him, that's the origin of this artifact." Sage Kong exclaimed.
Just as the three of them were talking, Xue Congliang suddenly found that it was boiled, and something like a red tassel spear stood in the fire.
Xue Congliang was completely stunned by what was in front of him, a bit like a picture in a cartoon, like a dream, both true and false.
After about half an hour of burning, the fire finally dimmed.
"Where's the armor-piercing gun?" Xue Congliang saw that something was wrong, the armor-piercing gun that was in the fire just now, I don't know when, I couldn't find it.
"Don't be in a hurry!" Sage Kong said.
"Stumped, this thing will still transfigulate?" Xue Congliang asked.
"It's really talked." Sage Kong replied.
"Huh? What does that turn into? ”
"Among the five elements, anything can be transformed. What's more, this thing, it's alive. Sage Kong said.
The three of them searched the fire and found that the spear had become a mass of dead ashes.
Xue Congliang Khan, such a good thing was burned to ashes, and it was all because of the bad ideas of the Confucian sage.
"It's okay, just wait and see, and you'll see something unexpected in a while." Sage Kong said.
