Chapter 533: Evil Thing
Bai Yutang split the entire mountain wall with green mound scales, and when the mountain wall collapsed, in the cave behind it, something appeared that made Wu Yiwu can't help but praise the "miracle......
What is it? It's a statue!
The cliff was about fifty feet high, and the statue reached the top of the cliff with its feet on the ground, and the width of the cave almost covered the entire length of the cave. It looks like a statue, with three heads, similar to a snake's head, in short, it is extremely weird from the shape to the details, and it is not at all like the style of the sculptures you see on weekdays. And with a sense of quaintness, like an antiquity. This three-headed statue is slightly similar to the three-headed golden statue that everyone saw in the ghost house's house that day, but the ghost knows that the feeling at home does not have this momentum at all, and there is no such inexplicable demonic aura!
And the most surprising thing for everyone is that this statue is golden and looks like gold.
Zhan Zhao looked at it for a while and said, "Even if it's gold-plated, I think it's so expensive." β
The fifth master walked over, stretched out his hand and knocked on the three-headed golden statue, listened attentively, raised his face to look at the statue, and said, "Made of pure gold." β
Zhan Zhao's mouth opened wide - really?
Wu Yiwu hugged his arms and looked up, "Where did this thing come from?" Is it a Buddha or a ghost? β
The three of them were looking at it, when they heard a shout not far away, "I'm a mother!" β
When the three of them turned around, they saw Long Qiaoguang standing not far away. General Right thought there was an earthquake just now, and then he heard a "boom" from above shaking the mountain, as if half of the mountain had collapsed, he was a little worried about the Zhanzhao under the mountain, and said in his heart, don't press down on the mountain! So, Guang Ye ordered his subordinates to look at the cemetery, and he ran to take a look at it first, but he was dumbfounded.
Long Qiaoguang ran to Zhanzhao's side, "What is this?" β
Zhan Zhao asked, "Did you bring the contact arrow?" Ask your marshal to come and take a look, and it's best to call Gongsun to see if anyone knows about this thing. β
"Don't ring the arrows." Long Qiao ran out of his legs, "I'll call!" β
General Right rushed back, and Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao, and Wu Yiwu continued to look at the statue.
After a while, there was a chirping sound overhead.
After two circles on the top of the mountain, it fell to the ground, and from its back, Gongsun came down with the little fourth son in his arms, and the little Liangzi jumped straight up, "Oh mother! What?! β
At the same time, a red figure also fell, Lin Yehuo squatted on a stone, looked up at the Buddha statue with his face up, and sighed with Zou Liang beside him, "It's so big!" β
Followed by Zhao Pu and them, even Lord Bao came.
The crowd looked at the Buddha statue for a long time.
Zhanzhao asked Gongsun, "Do you know what this looks like?" β
Gongsun shook his head, "It looks like the three-headed golden statue that the ghost knows, but it doesn't seem to look like it, and I haven't seen anything like this." β
"It looks like some kind of exotic god and demon." Lin Yehuo said, "I'll go find the fat monk to recognize it." After that, he ran away.
Everyone studied the Buddha statue for a while, and Ouyang brought a large number of imperial army to surround the entire West Mountain.
Lin Yehuo also came with Master Wusha.
When Master Wusha arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he was stunned when he saw the golden statue, and frowned, "This is ...... The casting process does not belong to this dynasty. β
"Master, is this a bodhisattva or a demon?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Master Wusha was silent for a long time, "It looks like an evil god." β
"Whatever?" Lin Yehuo was curious, "Aren't those gods and Buddhas all the same?" Some are in charge of life and death, and some are in charge of marriage or something. β
Master Wusha looked at his apprentice helplessly, and reached out to pat him on the head, "You don't talk about it, and if you are disrespectful to the Buddha, be careful of acne on your face." β
Lin was startled and quickly covered his face.
Pang Yu also went up and patted the Buddha statue, listened to it, and nodded, "It's really pure gold!" β
Zhao Pu asked people to find craftsmen who are knowledgeable in this field from the palace to inspect this statue, and by the way, see if anyone recognizes it.
Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang gossipingly, "How much gold is here?" β
Bai Yutang smiled, "It depends on whether the gold is pure or not, but to build such a big gold statue, the gold can't be very pure, it should be mixed with a lot of things, otherwise it should collapse." β
"Oh......" Zhanzhao nodded, I see.
"That's right." Long Qiaoguang came over and said to Zhan Zhao, "The Jin family's tombs have been found. β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, pulled Gongsun, and went to see the cemetery first, which means, ready to dig the grave to see the corpse.
When everyone arrived at a flat land on the other side of the West Mountain, they saw Cao Lan and they were all there, and there were more than a dozen tombs in front of them, all of which were built quite decently, and it could be seen that they were the ancestral tombs of large families.
The most magnificent of them should be the ancestors of the Jin family, and the relatively new ones are the old man Jin's family.
Zhanzhao and the others did not find the graves of Old Man Jin and his ladies, but they found a new tomb that looked very elegant, the tombs were made of fine stones, but the weeds were overgrown around, and it seemed that no one had taken care of them for a long time. And on a tombstone standing in front of the tomb, the name of "Jin Shan" is written, this is the tomb of the little master of the Jin family!
"Let's dig it up." Zhao Pu was also refreshed, and asked Ochre Ying to lead people to dig quickly.
It only took half a cup of tea for the diggers under Ochre Shadow's men to dig a tunnel, and this small tomb was dug up after a while, and the coffin was lifted.
Gongsun was taken aback, "Wow! β
Ochre also nodded, "The coffin is so heavy!" β
"This is the best golden silk nanmu!" Pang Yu smacked his lips, "It's better than the previous emperor's mouth." β
As soon as the words came out, Bao Yan kicked him and told him to stop talking nonsense.
Zhao Pu didn't have much research, but looking at the coffin was indeed quite thick.
Bai Yutang waved his hand to the ochre shadow who was holding an iron rod and preparing to pry the coffin, "I can't knock it open, this one uses a bolt and has a mechanism." β
Everyone looked at each other - this coffin is advanced!
The fifth master walked around the coffin, and finally found a place to press, and heard the sound of "Caracalla" coming from inside the coffin.
Then Bai Yutang knocked on the coffin board again, listened to the sound, found a place, and reached out to press it...... A turntable-like thing popped up. The fifth master held the turntable and turned it a few times, and then he heard a series of noises, and then the coffin board, which was originally tightly sealed, flicked it up lightly, and a gap appeared.
Everyone was amazed - so advanced!
Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang curiously, "How do you know how to open it?" β
Bai Yutang said, "This kind of high-end coffin of golden silk nanmu is sold in one shop all over the world, and the coffin shop is all about the sale of all lives." β
Everyone has heard the name Quan Wansheng, known as Coffin Quan, Quan Ji is specially bought coffins, there are many branches in various places, his family does not sell ordinary coffins, they are all good coffins of more than 1,000 taels.
"Do you know all the beings?" Pang Yu was curious, "He actually taught you how to open a coffin?" This kind of coffin can be used to put burial goods, right? β
Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "He didn't teach me, I taught him." β
Everyone was stunned and looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang said, "When my aunt and grandmother passed away, I went to him and ordered a coffin made of Nanmu, but the method of covering the coffin was too old-fashioned, so I taught him this method, and he asked me if I could use it on other coffins, and I said it didn't matter." When this kind of mechanism covers the coffin, you can turn the turntable by yourself, how to turn the technique is different, after the buckle, only the same technique can be opened. But there is a common way to open this kind of mechanism, only I know. β
"In other words, as long as it's a coffin with this kind of mechanism, you can open it, right?" Pang Yu was curious.
Bai Yutang nodded.
"Wait a minute!"
Everyone was discussing the coffin, and Zhanzhao suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.
Zhao Pu also nodded, "I also think it's strange." β
Zhan Zhao dragged Bai Yutang and pointed at himself, "We are the same age?" β
Bai Yutang nodded.
Zhanzhao pointed to the coffin again, "Jin Shan died twenty years ago!" β
The crowd then nodded.
Zhan Zhao pointed at Bai Yutang again, "Twenty years ago, you weren't as old as the fourth child, so you taught people to make coffin organs?" β
Everyone also looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang said, "My aunt passed away six years ago. β
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the coffin, "That is to say, ......"
"This coffin has definitely been bought for less than six years." Bai Yutang replied.
Everyone stared at the coffin for a long time, and they all took a breath, "Did you change the coffin in the middle of the coffin?" β
Gongsun shook his head, "Aren't the Jin family all dead?" Who helped change the coffin? β
"Is that Kim Sun over there?" Bao Yan was also puzzled.
Zhao Pu glanced at Ochre Shadow, which meant - opening the coffin.
Purple Shadow and Ochre both grabbed the coffin board and lifted it out......
At the moment when the coffin was opened, everyone saw the scene in the coffin by the light of the torch, and their eyes widened almost at the same time, and the little fourth son held his face, "Ah! β
The expressions of everyone staring at the coffin at this time were similar to the surprised Cheng dΓΉ who saw the three-headed golden statue just now.
I saw that there was indeed a corpse in the precious golden silk nanmu coffin...... In other words, it was similar to a sleeping person, and the corpse was as pale as an ordinary person, neither rotting nor rotting. A teenager of seventeen or eighteen was about the same age as Bao Yan and them, with a delicate face and a serene expression, wearing a clean and elegant white shroud, lying there quietly, if he was brought out and placed on the bed, he would definitely feel that he was just a sleeping teenager.
"Is he really dead?" Bao Yan couldn't help but ask.
Gongsun reached in and grabbed his wrist to take the pulse.
Everyone was a little worried that the corpse would suddenly jump up or open its eyes.
Gongsun took the pulse for a while and shook his head, "It's true, it's dead." β
"But why don't corpses decompose?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Because the coffin is good?" β
"The coffin won't die if it's good, as if it's not dead!" Gongsun frowned, "The corpse is not hard, and the skin is still very soft, it's really incredible!" β
"He has strangulation marks on his neck." Bai Yutang pointed to the corpse's neck.
Gongsun looked at it and nodded, "It echoes the characteristics of hanging, but it is also possible that he was strangled to death." β
"Is this Kim Sun?" Bao Yan asked.
"There should be a lot of people who have seen the young master of the Jin family back then." Zhan Zhao said, "Let's find someone to ask tomorrow morning." β
Everyone nodded.
Bai Yutang covered the coffin again, and Gongsun asked the officials to transport the body back to Kaifeng Mansion, and he had to carefully examine the body.
When everyone returned to Kaifeng, they saw that in the courtyard, those bones had basically been put together, as Gongsun had speculated before, they were all wounded and killed, not like an accident or accident, not like they were eaten, but more like a sudden disaster.
β¦β¦
In the early morning of the next day, the entire Kaifeng Mansion was in a sensation.
Many people have legends that the Golden Buddha was dug up in the West Mountain, which is as high as a mountain, but fortunately, the Imperial City Army set up a shelf overnight to cover the four sides of the three-headed Golden Tuo with oilcloth, so as not to cause greater disturbance.
In the palace, Zhao Zhen heard Nangong, who had seen the real thing, talk about the situation in Xishan in detail, and was also very surprised, at the same time, Zhao Zhen held his chin and sighed, "In this Kaifeng Mansion, in addition to the god of decay, there is also the god of wealth!" How many treasures have they found for me along the way? Gee! β
β¦β¦
Tianzun and Yin Hou heard about it early in the morning, and they also took Zhanzhao Baiyutang to visit.
Zhan Zhao asked the second elder if he had ever seen such a statue, and both of them shook their heads, saying that it was the first time they had seen it, and it was all kinds of magic!
The statue of the three-headed golden top is even more shocking to see during the day.
Yin Hou frowned, "This thing is definitely inauspicious, it's just demonic!" β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also nodded...... Last night, it was dark and I couldn't see the three heads that looked like snakeheads, but if I looked at it carefully, the expressions of the three strange faces were completely different, and how evil they looked, no wonder Master Wusha deduced that it was an evil god yesterday, and it was indeed that style.
While everyone was discussing, they saw someone running over, it was the prince of Taixue.
Zhan Zhao squinted, it would be no good for Taixue to run away, isn't it dead again!
Just thinking about it, Master Wang ran closer, "Everyone, Master Lin asked me to remind you that you are going to Taixue after noon today." β
Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned.
Bai Yutang was also puzzled, "Why are you going to Taixue?" β
"Sure enough, I don't remember, but fortunately, Master Lin has thought it through and let us inform them one by one." Wang Fuzi was powerless, "The emperor ordered you to teach, didn't Master Lin give you a lesson?" β
Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang both looked at the sky, and they didn't know where to throw the course.
"Didn't you start classes two days later?" Tianzun really looked at the arrangement of that course and was puzzled.
"Today is the day when the new students of Taixue enter the school collectively, according to the practice of Taixue, the new students must know all the masters, and they must also listen to the teachings left by the emperor, as well as the emperor's teachings, so you must go in the afternoon......
Zhan Zhao crossed his arms, "Shall we go too?" It's not just a matter of teaching a few classes on a permanent basis. β
Wang Fuzi immediately sternly sipped his face, "Taixue tradition is to respect the teacher, and if you are a teacher for one day, you will be a father for life......"
Zhan Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't want so many sons and daughters!" β
"Neither nor not!" Wang Fuzi shook his head, looking at the text again, Zhanzhao had no choice but to send him away first, "We'll go in the afternoon, and we'll go to ...... in the afternoon."
Wang Fuzi nodded, and then asked curiously, "I heard that the Golden Buddha was dug up?" Can I take a look? β
Zhan Zhao and the others glanced at each other, this Wang Fuzi is also a handful of years, and those who can be masters in Taixue are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are very knowledgeable, and Wang Fuzi is famous for his research on Buddhism and customs, and he has traveled to the Western Regions, so he may be able to know, so he led him to the cave to watch.
When Mr. Wang looked up, he was dumbfounded, scratching his head and "uh" for a long time, so that everyone was almost out of breath.
Zhan Zhao asked, "Master, have you seen it before?" β
Wang Fuzi pointed to the Buddha statue and nodded, "I may have seen it!" β
The crowd was amazed.
But Master Wang pointed his finger at the golden Buddha and didn't seem to remember, "It's definitely not such a big one, maybe it's in a book or somewhere, anyway, I'm sure I've seen exactly the same!" β
Everyone was anxious, and Master Wang was also anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of it, as if he was stuck.
"Did you see it in Taixue?" Bai Yutang has experience in dealing with Tianzun, and when the old man can't think of anything, it's best to give some hints. The most common place for Master Wang to stay must be Taixue, so let's start with Taixue.
"Uh......" Master Wang blinked.
Zhan Zhao then reminded, "Did you see it in the book, portraits or something?" β
Wang Fuzi was stunned.
Everyone wanted to remind him a few more words, but he clapped his hands, "Ah! Fan! β
Everyone looked at him, "Fan? β
"I've seen Yuan'er from Fuxian Tower take this fan!" Master Wang patted his head.
Everyone looked at the old master silently for a while.
Tianzun on the side touched his chin, "Isn't Fuxian Building a place to drink flower wine?" β
Yin Hou also shook his head, "Oh, Master, you are old, take it easy." β
Master Wang was stunned for a moment, and then stomped his feet with red ears and bare ears, "Oh, I'm going to die!" Of course I didn't! No! Oops......"
Zhan Zhao saw that the old man was about to vomit blood, so he hurriedly persuaded, "It doesn't matter, it's a merry and talented man, it's ...... normal thing to drink flower wine."
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao with admiration, are you afraid that he will die or do you think he will die slowly?
Sure enough, the old man was so anxious that he couldn't argue.
Bai Yutang asked him, "Where did you see that?" β
Master Wang stroked his chest and calmed down, "It's Qin Ji in Fuxian Tower, not Sister Yao, she doesn't sell her body!" Miss Yuan'er is a confidante of a friend of mine Yao Shanshui, and when I was drinking with Shanshui that day, she happened to stroke the qin, and the fan was at hand, so I took a look at it because it was weird. As he spoke, the old man swore to the sky, "Yuan'er is ready to be my granddaughter, don't talk nonsense!" I have no such thing as being innocent! β
Zhan Zhao and the others looked at the sky, this Wang Master was not inferior to Lin Xiao's Master so old-fashioned, don't prove his innocence with his death for a while, and hurriedly nodded to show his belief in him.
"You mean, Qin Ji of Fuxian Tower is holding a fan with these three golden statues?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Wang Fuzi nodded, "I should be right. β
"Yao Shanshui ......" Zhan Zhao touched his chin.
Yao Shanshui is also a literati, is a very famous painter in the imperial city, this person is quite famous, there should be a lot of confidants, but a normal girl's family will hold a fan with such a terrible pattern, it is a little strange.
Zhan Zhao felt that it was a clue, and he could go to this Yuan'er and ask.
Master Wang took a breath and instructed a few people, "Don't forget to come to Taixue in the afternoon!" Also, Lin Fuzi said that he would discuss the exchange of the four academies, and when the time comes, the masters will gather to discuss, and I also hope that all the masters will participate, it is a matter of honor and disgrace of Taixue, and we must be in the same boat! β
After speaking, Master Wang went back to Taixue.
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang - mouse, what should I do about teaching?
Bai Yutang was silent for a long time, looking at Zhanzhao - I told you to elope and you didn't go with me!
Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and pouted to the side - how to go with his family?
Bai Yutang turned his face and saw Tianzun holding his hands behind his back, discussing with Yin Hou, "What should I teach them?" β
Yin Hou thought for a while, "Sue them that there are not many good people in the rivers and lakes." β
Tianzun nodded in agreement, and asked, "Do you want to tell them about Zhao Zhen's little friend and his father's troubles?" β
Yin Hou thought it was pretty good, "And what bad things did Zhao Pu's father do......"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had no choice but to support their foreheads - doesn't it really matter if these two people are allowed to teach?! I always feel like something is going to happen......
