Chapter 15 Meat Zhi
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming patiently listened to the old Huazi King and talked about what happened to him in Liangwang Mountain. It turned out that the old flower king strayed into the cave and fell into the formation mechanism and kept spinning, but by chance, he was not trapped in the mechanism formation all the time. The old flower king, who escaped, entered a stone chamber in the mountain, saw the gold, silver and jewels all over the ground, and became greedy. So he pulled off a piece of jade pendant from the door deep in the stone chamber. Drawing it out, Mu Qingming saw the ancient Wu script from the jade pendant, and guessed that this stone room was inextricably linked with the ancient Dian Kingdom. And the old flower king continued to tell about his adventures, never thinking that the door in the stone room was open, and a monster rushed out of it. 】
The night was dark and the stars were dim. The night wind in the city let out a sharp howl, blowing the water waves around the Zhangtang Wharf, and the cargo ships docked at the wharf swayed left and right in the waves.
Moisture rose with the wind and hit the shore.
In the alley, which is still some distance away from the Zhangtang Wharf, the courtyard door is opened, and the creaking sound of the door shaft turning breaks the silence of the night in the alley.
The immortal Taoist who had entered this courtyard before quietly went out, looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, he left in a hurry.
What Liu Yang asked him to venture into the city has been done.
The gate of the small courtyard slowly closed again. The people in the courtyard did not go out to see each other off.
The cultist walked out of the alley and stood on the edge of the Seal Pond Wharf.
At night, when I saw the rippling blue waves outside the pier, I could only vaguely hear the sound of the waves coming and going.
Without hesitation, the cultist jumped down and into the water.
Only to hear a pop, the waves splashed, and the believers disappeared on the water, dived to the bottom of the water, and swam in the direction of Dianchi Lake along the Daguan River connected to the Zhangtang Wharf.
At night, the people living in the vicinity were already asleep, and no one noticed that the believers had jumped into the water.
Only on the roof of a warehouse not far away, a man dressed in black clothes and black cloak, blending in with the night, quietly watched all this.
It wasn't until that cultist disappeared from the sight of the man in black that the figure of the man in black flickered, turned into wisps of green smoke in the night, drifted away with the wind, and disappeared under the dim starry sky.
Every move of the cultist before, as well as the alley where the cultist went, what the little black man did and what he said, the man in black was also clear......
A cold wind blew under the dim starry sky, but in the barrier of the dragon-locking man, it suddenly fell silent.
The cold wind connects the realm, and it can't penetrate it.
Under the silence, Mu Qing secretly looked at the piece of jade in his hand. Among them, Ziyu has been carved into other shapes. In appearance, it resembles a man holding a short knife.
However, because this image is too abstract, it takes a little imagination to see this appearance from the twisted shape.
Zhang Xiaosheng also came over curiously, looked at it for a long time, and didn't see what it was, so he asked curiously: "Master, what kind of symbol is this?" I have been to the tombs of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and I have never seen such ancient strange things in those tombs. ”。
However, he, Zhang Xiaosheng, used his mind to transmit sound, so these words only echoed in Mu Qingming and Mo Han's minds, and the old flower king did not hear it.
Mu Qingming's eyes flashed into the eyes of the child and mother jade in his hand, and he also used his mind to transmit the sound to Zhang Xiaosheng and his wife Mo Han: "This is a script created by the Wu clan in ancient times, and it is older than the script we use now, the Chinese characters created by Cangjie; It used to be popular in the area south of the Yangtze River. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, and the remnants of the Jiuli tribe could not escape, and also brought this text into the mountains and mountains south of the Yangtze River. But there is a legend that the Chinese characters created by Cangjie were also created on the basis of Wuwen. Later, the witch script spread among the southwestern tribes, among those shamans and sacrifices, and was generally used for sacrifices and prayers. It is also used by the chiefs and chiefs of various tribes to write secret special texts. However, it was also little known at the time, so it was basically difficult to find records in the historical books and ancient books of the turbidity fetus. ”。
Mu Qingming asked Mo Han and Zhang Xiaosheng to have a general understanding of this ancient text, and then thought that this central Yunnan region was the boundary of the ancient Dian Kingdom in the past. Especially along the 500-mile Dianchi Lake, it is the territory of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
Lao Huazi Wang, the old man, pulled down this piece of jade with witch inscriptions from the belly of Liangwang Mountain, could it be related to the ancient Dian country?
Thinking of this, Mu Qingming thought again, couldn't it be that the old Huazi King broke into it back then, and it was the mausoleum of the ancient Dian Kingdom?
"Old man, is that place you going to look like a tomb?" Mu Qingming secretly told Zhang Xiaosheng about this idea, and Zhang Xiaosheng immediately asked the old Huazi King: "Or, does it look like a mausoleum." ”。
After all, Zhang Xiaosheng is young, he doesn't have many tombs and is inexperienced, and he can't be sure for a while, is there a mausoleum of the ancient Dian Kingdom in this Liangwangshan area?
When the old flower king heard this, he pondered.
After many years, he still remembers that memory vividly. It's just that in the past many years, Lao Huazi Wang has never considered whether the place he went to would be a tomb?
The old Huazi King, who had been thinking for a long time with his brows tightly locked, said slowly: "If you want to talk about the shape or style of this stone chamber, I don't think it's a tomb. Although the interlacing is like a mountain, and people like us who beg for food don't understand the matter of the ancient tomb and the golden hill, how much do we know that this mountain tomb can also see the coffin, right? But I didn't see any coffins in it. ”。
This is not unreasonable, since ancient times, mausoleums, even if they are clothed mounds and false mounds set up in order to confuse people, there are coffins.
It's just that among these well-dressed mounds or doubtful mounds, there are just coffins and no corpses.
"If I really see the coffin, I don't dare to be greedy again." Immediately afterwards, the old flower king added.
This is true; Except for tomb robbers, everyone else has a sense of awe for the dead, even if the old flower king is just a beggar, he will not be bold enough to be like a tomb robber, and he is as happy as seeing his daughter-in-law when he sees the coffin.
And when Lao Huazi Wang spoke, he glanced at Zhang Xiaosheng.
There was a lot of contempt and contempt in those eyes; It seems to be saying that Zhang Xiaosheng and other tomb robbers will only be greedy when they see the coffin. At the same time, he used this to show contempt and contempt for tomb robbing.
Zhang Xiaosheng secretly saw the look in the eyes of the old Huazi King clearly, and after seeing the meaning, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, scratched his head and said: "Old man, I have changed my ways now, and I won't do that kind of thing about digging graves for a long time, and you don't despise me so much." ”。
Mu Qingming was also at this time, and returned the jade pendant to the old flower king.
There is nothing unusual in that jade pendant except for ancient witch scripts. Mu Qingming didn't keep holding it because of this, and returned it to the old flower king.
The old flower king took the jade pendant, and was not in a hurry to put it away, and said thoughtfully: "But if you want to talk about the mechanism, it is very powerful, perhaps even better than the mechanism in the legendary mausoleum." ”。
Speaking of this, the old flower king trembled. He once again recalled the escape from death many years ago, and he still has lingering palpitations.
"Don't worry, take your time, I still have some wine here." Mu Qingming said, and took out the wine jug that had been prepared from his sleeve.
Listening to Zhang Xiaosheng, this old flower king has a penchant for alcohol, and Mu Qingming is ready for this hand.
He put the spout of the wine jug and put it under the nose of the old flower king.
The mellow aroma of wine rushed towards the old flower king. The old flower king squinted slightly, and inhaled the smell of wine in the air hard, and suddenly showed a comfortable and intoxicated look.
Mu Qingming didn't hesitate to stuff the wine jug into his old Huazi King's hand.
Although the wine jug was only three inches tall and the body of the pot was only the size of a fist, the jug was spelled by Mu Qingming. What seems to be a small flask that can only hold a few glasses of wine actually contains a jar of wine.
The old flower king took it, hurriedly stuffed the spout into his mouth regardless of it, raised his head, and drank wine with a big gulp.
The liquor entered his throat, and the old flower king's throat was hot, and his cheeks and nose were slightly red. The look of comfort and satisfaction on his face did not decrease but increased.
"I just took off this jade pendant, and disasters followed." Lao Huazi Wang reluctantly pulled the spout out out of his mouth, burped, and said: "When the jade pendant was cut off, I immediately heard the walls on both sides, and there was a low roar, followed by the wall tiles peeling off and falling, and the dark holes hidden in the wall were exposed. ”。
At this point, the look of comfort and satisfaction on his face disappeared, and in his place, the fear that had risen from under his eyes was rapidly spreading beyond his sockets.
"I was in a panic, and I didn't care to investigate carefully, but I heard the sound of breaking the air, so I hurriedly lay down and pressed my head to the bottom." Although the old flower king recalled the panic of fear and wrote it on his face, he still told the experience at that time so vividly: "At that time, the back of my head was constantly swishing and the cool breeze was passing through, followed by the collision of gold and iron, the crackling and crackling of everything, and the flickering and splashing light and shadow of sparks, flickering and bright. ”。
Zhang Xiaosheng on the side laughed awkwardly when he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel that the old flower king really asked for food. With this mouth, Zhang Xiaosheng felt that Lao Huaziwang set up a small table, shook the folding fan, and knocked on the wood, and he could go to Guanghua Street to tell stories.
Mu Qingming and Mo Han listened energetically, and they all stared at the old flower king with full attention.
"I later learned that the flying objects were short arrows that bounced off the walls. One is no more than a foot or so long, but the arrows are very sharp. I thought about it in hindsight and thought that if I had been standing at that time, I would not have escaped being pierced into a sieve. At this point, the old flower king raised his head again and drank the spirits.
"Goo-goo-goo", the old flower king's throat moved, making such a sound. A mouthful of mellow liquor entered his throat, and the old flower king became hot again.
The panic and panic brought by the memories before that seemed to have subsided a lot because of the reason that alcohol can strengthen courage.
"After a long time, the sound of breaking the air and crackling stopped." The old flower king, who had a wine hiccups, continued to say to Mu Qingming and Mo Han: "I confirmed that there was no danger nearby, so I stood up. There were already messy arrows all over the left and right of him, and there were many shocking deep scratches on the ground and on the gold and silver treasures. ”。
"But the danger was not completely eliminated, I stood up, and was about to leave when a floor tile under my feet slowly sank down with a dull sound." The old flower king trembled slightly, and continued to say to Mu Qingming: "I was so frightened that I hurriedly retreated, away from the sunken floor tiles. But as I stepped back, most of the tiles on the ground cracked open, and flames burst out in front of me. The heat wave and the hot wind followed. Dozens of flames rose together, spreading a sea of fire in the stone chamber, the heat of the flames illuminating the entire stone chamber red, and the clearly visible heat wave could distort all the surrounding scenery. ”。
Speaking of this, the old flower king who suddenly stopped abruptly put down the wine jug and slowly took off his clothes.
It wasn't until he took off his tattered clothes and came out bare-chested and bare-chested that he opened his lips and said to Mu Qingming: "Engong, please see, the scar on my chest was burned by the flames at that time. ”。
Mu Qingming looked at them, only to see that there was no intact skin on the chest and abdomen of the old flower king.
The bulging scars were intertwined on his chest and abdomen, and between these scars, there were countless scars with red surfaces.
Mu Qingming, Mo Han, and even Zhang Xiaosheng could see at a glance that these large scars were the scars left after burning.
The ugly and terrifying scar, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but stand on end, gasped, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "I didn't know in the past, your old man still has so many scars." ”。
"This is what a pillar of fire that rose in front of me burned me." After the dragon lockers saw the scars on their bodies, the old flower king slowly put on his clothes and continued to say slowly: "Fortunately, I was still young in those years, and I was not as sluggish as I am now, so I hurriedly jumped backwards and avoided the pillar of flames, otherwise I wouldn't have left this scar alone." I will be melted by the flames in the blink of an eye, just like the gold and silver treasures. ”。
When Mu Qingming and Mo Han heard this, they were stunned and confused.
It is impossible to melt gold, silver or other metals in an instant, it will take a while, unless it is a hot silver melting furnace, which is really hard to say.
The couple tacitly agreed that the hidden flames in the mechanism encountered by the old flower king were a kind of thaumaturgy.
"I was standing in front of the gate, a place where the sea of fire could not reach, but before I could breathe a sigh of relief and feel lucky, the door behind me actually opened slowly and automatically." The old flower king paused, infinite fear appeared in his eyes again, and he said in a trembling voice: "I looked back and heard a low roar in the door, and then I saw a huge ball of flesh rushing out from behind the stone door. Yellow as purple gold, bright and penetrating, like solid ice, the roar came from this ball of flesh. ”。
Speaking of this, the old flower king trembled again, and his fear increased instead of decreasing.
Zhang Xiaosheng heard that it was rising, and the old Huazi King suddenly stopped talking, and hurriedly urged: "Old man, you go on, what is that?" ”。
Lao Huazi Wang lifted the wine jug, poured himself a few sips of wine, and after strengthening his courage, he asked Mu Qingming: "Engong, this thing is several zhang in diameter, without mouth, eyes, hands and feet, it is completely like a meat ball, do you know what it is?" ”。
"Meat mushroom." Mu Qingming lowered his head and said, "Also known as Tai Sui." ”。
