The Secret Words of Immortality Chapter 32 The Soul Burial

"Boy, have you ever heard of a conjuring burial?" The "strange face" rolled his blood-red eyes meaningfully, glanced at Mu Zifeng again, and asked.

"Are the predecessors talking about the popular conjuring burials during the Rouran Dynasty?" Mu Zifeng was slow for a few seconds, and blurted out inadvertently.

Fortunately, when he was studying hard at Chang'an University, Mu Zifeng was not only obsessed with archaeology, but also carefully studied the rise and fall of the Rouran Empire. Therefore, for the custom of the Rouran Dynasty such as "conjuring soul burial", I also have a superficial understanding of one or two.

Legend conjuring the soul burial is the most mysterious burial method of the Rouran Dynasty, in the history of the Rouran Dynasty, there was a great khan, he held hundreds of thousands of iron horses, the power of the grassland five, he forced dozens of countries such as the Great Xia Kingdom to pay tribute to Rouran, he let the Central Plains Empire was forced to make peace with it, he was brutal, even his own son was mercilessly slaughtered.

He even fantasizes about living with the Immortal Heaven, and is painstakingly pursuing the secret of the Immortal Heaven, and he is a steppe khan with mixed reputations and full of controversy in history, he is the famous Jinwu Khan: Turova.

It was also this Tuluova, who was bent on seeking immortals, who died violently in the royal court one day. His son regained the Khan's soul through a conjuring burial, achieving the goal of bringing the dead back to life.

What especially makes Mu Zifeng feel weird is that according to "The Secret History of Rouran", while the khan was resurrected, he also rejuvenated and returned to the appearance of his youth, dozens of years younger, and was rumored to be sophistry for a while.

"Well, it is worthy of being a child of the Mu family, and he is really well-informed!" The "strange face" raised his hands in front of his chest and slowly danced with strange steps, the chains making rhythmic sounds under the cross-impact, as if the king's musician had played the music of the conjuring and burial.

"This is the ......" In the face of unfamiliar dance music, Mu Zifeng fell into a state of confusion for a while, although he has studied archaeology and history, but he knows very little about ancient dance and music, but he just feels that this dance music looks very evil, especially the song, which vaguely reveals a fierce murderous aura.

After the dance, Mu Zifeng shouted a few times in embarrassment, but he couldn't say what was good.

"Count you as an eye-blessed, this is the original soul dance of the Rouran Empire's soul funeral, the high priest Aqika." Although the "strange face" danced with heavy chains, he did not show any difficulty, and his face did not change in the slightest.

Mu Zifeng was amazed.

"Senior, I have also heard some rumors and wild history about this soul burial, but it is a wild history after all, and it is not enough to accept it." Mu Zifeng didn't believe the statement of the "strange face" very much, and he asked with some doubts.

"Boy, there are many things in this world that are indescribable and unclear, don't say so absolutely!" "Strange face" refuted with a straight face.

"What the seniors taught is that the juniors should ask the seniors, what is the way of this soul burial?" The stubbornness in Mu Zifeng's heart came up, this old guy looks like an old pedant, I want to see how much stock you have in your stomach?

"Immortals, transform into endless, flying immortals in heaven and earth......" "Strange face" while chanting loudly, while waving his hand, as if intoxicated in the world of immortals, suddenly, he walked up to Mu Zifeng, patted him on the shoulder excitedly and said, "Boy, do you know what I read just now?" ”

Mu Zifeng shook his head slowly.

"Alas......" "Strange Face" looked a little disappointed, and he sighed: "Fortunately, I met you today, otherwise one day I would have gone immortal, wouldn't this superb thing be buried in the world!" Sad! It's all Mu Hongwei's guy, doing evil! ”

"Senior, I call you a senior, I don't know what you and my ancestors have to do, please don't always insult them." Mu Zifeng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a lot of anger rose in his heart.

"Good! Good! Good! The "strange face" became extremely sad again: "Mu Hongwei, you are an old fellow, you have a good descendant, and I can only grow old alone, let's stop!" I'll give you what you've always wanted to know and want to get to your children and grandchildren today, and I'll give you an explanation! ”

"Boy, come here, sit down!" The "strange face" was already sitting on the stool in a blink of an eye, beckoning to Mu Zifeng: "Next, what I want to say is extremely important things, you come here, you have to listen to every word!" ”

Mu Zifeng thought to himself, I'm afraid it's not a trick, right? Wait for yourself to step forward for the time being, listen to his words, watch his deeds, and see what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd?

"Immortal Heaven Amigul Sabulu, do you know what this sentence means?"

Mu Zifeng shook his head again.

Without waiting for Mu Zifeng to shake his head, this time the "strange face" directly said the answer, this sentence is an ancient saying of Rouran, which means "the immortal, the illusion is endless, and the immortal is in the heaven and earth".

"Hey, that's not what my predecessor just said......"

"This is the Soul Returning Spell on the Conjuring Burial." The "strange face" lifted his terrible and terrible face, looked up at the ceiling, and said faintly: "That night, after the high priest uttered this incantation, the khan was resurrected!" ”

Hearing the word "resurrection", Mu Zifeng's heart tightened and he became interested.

In fact, the "strange face" told Mu Zifeng that there were a total of seven hundred and forty-nine sentences in that section of the "Soul Returning Mantra", "The Immortal, the Illusion is in the Endless, and the Flying Immortal is in the Heaven and Earth" is the last sentence, after the Khan Tuluo Van died violently, the high priest Aqika held a soul funeral in the royal court, danced the soul dance, played the requiem, said the soul return curse, and successfully resurrected the dead Khan.

"According to legend, that soul mantra came from a set of strange books." "Strange Face" lowered his voice.

"Strange books?" Mu Zifeng asked puzzledly: "What book?" ”

Instead of answering him directly, "Weirdface" told a different story.

It turned out that after the second rebirth of the Golden Crow Khan, only a few years later, he became seriously ill again, and when he was dying, the Golden Crow Khan called the high priest again and asked for a spirit after his death.

Aqika inspected the condition of Turova, and he told the Khan that this time, it was the immortal who wanted to take the Khan away, and there was nothing he could do.

Under the pleading of the Jinwu Khan, Aqika finally agreed to come up with a solution, that is, to make the Khan into a dry corpse and keep it incorruptible for thousands of years. In 1500, the soul burial was restarted, and the soul of the khan was reawakened and brought back to life with the sacrifice of the king.

"After 1500? Who will wake up? You? Mu Zifeng smiled dumbly.

The "strange face" glanced at Mu Zifeng and continued to elaborate: The high priest selected five guards from the Khan's most loyal guards, and they belonged to the surnames of the "five attributes" of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Aqika granted the five people secrets, and the five people went to Liaodong, Jiangnan, Central Plains, Northwest, and Mobei respectively after receiving the order, and changed their Han surnames to settle here, which means that from the east, west, north, south, and middle five directions, they prayed for the khan with the method of the five elements.

The Mu family is one of the five guards, who have lived in Chang'an for generations, built this seven-story wooden tower, and the Mu family took turns to put the tablets of each generation into the wooden tower, and prayed for the Golden Crow Khan with the law of the Big Dipper.

"After so many years, the Rouran Dynasty has long been wiped out, why do the descendants of the five guards still hold on?" Mu Zifeng shook his head: "This is not scientific!" ”

It turned out that in order to ensure that in case, Aqika had a witchcraft on five people, this witchcraft was extremely powerful, and it would be retributed to each generation of clansmen, such as the Mu family, who barely lived to be 40 years old before, and died violently, and then had to meet the guidance of the immortals and adopt the mode of blood sacrifice, so he barely lived to be 50 years old.

Witchcraft? A poison that has infected millennia? It sounds a little incredible, Mu Zifeng suddenly remembered his grandfather Mu Jinwen, who seemed to be 49 years old and died in Jinling. Could it be that if you are less than 50 years old, you will die in Huangquan? Will my father's disappearance in Mobei be related to this disease?

"Aqika asked the five guards to send an inheritor to enter the royal tomb after 1,500 years, open the king's sacrifice, awaken the khan's body, and after the khan is resurrected, he will give them an elixir to free them from the pain of death."

"But after so many years, who can find the tomb of the king, even if you don't say 10,000 steps back, what if you find it? Who will summon a soul to be buried? ”

"So, I'm going to tell you about that book, the Book of Eternal Life." "Strange Face" continued: "It is said that the secret of Aqika is to hand over the five copies of the "Sutra of Eternal Life" to the five guards, so that they can choose a successor to protect the "Sutra of Eternal Life" in each generation, and it is said that after the 5 copies of the "Sutra of Eternal Life" are gathered, the royal tomb can be opened, the soul burial can be restarted, the Khan will be sacrificed, and the Khan will be resurrected!" ”

There is no airtight wall in the world, because of the legend of the Khan's immortality, as well as the huge treasure in the royal tomb, throughout the ages, many people who know this secret and have ghosts covet these five "Eternal Life Sutra", because only by finding them, they will find the location of the royal tomb and crack the code of immortality, so the five major families have been incognito, trying to protect themselves, so that after 1500 years, complete the task and lift the curse of witchcraft.

"What do you mean by that senior, my grandfather and father are asking you for the Book of Eternal Life?" Mu Zifeng suddenly realized.

"The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant." The "strange face" looked at the giant python and sighed sadly: "The hustle and bustle is all for profit." These five families were originally nobles, but unfortunately they were not as good as the next generation, and when your grandfather Mu Hongwei was born, he actually started to dig up the royal tomb, and my father saw that he was not right, so he passed the "Book of Eternal Life" to me. Who knew that as soon as my father died, he would attack me! ”

With the narration of "Strange Face", Mu Zifeng seems to have traveled through a time tunnel and seen the other side of the family.

In order to support their families, Mu Chengzi and Mu Hongwei had to go south to join the army of King An of the Nanping Dynasty and garrison in the area of Huaixi City.

One day, the marshal of the Northern Qing Dynasty raised another army to attack, and more than 100 Western artillery pieces kept firing shells at the north gate. The ancient city wall was destroyed in many places, and the wooden city tower was lit with a raging fire, like a huge fire dragon rising into the air.

The Flying Tiger Army of the Nanping Dynasty, which guarded the north gate, was blown up and blood was splashed, and limbs flew wildly. "Damn, the thieves in the Northern Qing Dynasty are a bunch of cowards, so they know how to fire." Mu Chengzi, the guard at the north gate, smashed his fist on the battlement and scolded: "Brothers, don't mess around, shoot my mother." ”
