The Ancient Kingdom of Biqian Chapter 19 There are three long and two short lives
"Brother Qifan, Brother Big Anchor, be careful......" Xiao Miao shouted above. By this time I had gone down to the wall and looked up like a frog at the bottom of a well.
The height between the floors is not at all like that of a normal building, each floor is highly spaced, and as it continues to face down, the exits seem smaller and smaller, and the sound above is gradually blurred.
The surrounding walls were slippery, and I reminded others to be aware from time to time.
The coffin hung between the two and three floors, and it was even more humid and gloomy, and the mist formed by the huge waves sprinkled on the body, which was cool.
The person above shook his flashlight and asked about the situation below.
I raised my hand in reply, and a simple communication gesture was more convenient.
"Don't panic whatever you see for a while." I said to him. A few people agreed behind me.
At this moment, we had landed at the chain, and the four of us began to move closer to the coffin along the chain. When you hold the chain, the coldness is like holding a popsicle on the eaves in winter.
The anchor grumbled, and we continued on our way, when suddenly the coffin shuddered and the chains shook violently.
There was a false alarm, but fortunately no one took it off, and the two people said, "How can this coffin move by itself?" There was apprehension in the words.
They received money from their employers, and they were afraid that they would have to do it, and they were doing this kind of business, and no one could hide from it. It's not easy to go out, and I told them again to be careful and not want anyone to have an accident.
I finally came to the coffin, looked up, the huge coffin hung overhead, an invisible pressure swept through the body, I grabbed the coffin with my hand and put one leg on the chain and slowly stood up.
The foot swayed back and forth on the chain, and it would not have been able to stand steadily if it were not for the coffin in his hand. After standing firmly, I looked at the lifelike picture on the coffin lid and saw that it was actually made of tiny gem-like particles, like stars in the sky, and shimmering with colorful light.
Different colors are inlaid with different gemstones, and the degree of delicacy is no less than that of the emperor's golden silk dragon robe.
"A coffin lid is so extravagant, it seems that there must be treasures inside!" After Hu Mei's subordinates finished speaking, they used their hands to pick out the "broken gems" on it.
"Don't move!" Before I could finish speaking, he deducted another one.
"What's wrong with this thing?" After saying that, he pinched the gem and shined it with a flashlight, and said, "There seems to be something in it, and I think it looks more like amber." With that, he put it in his jacket pocket.
Seeing that there was no problem, this guy actually became greedy and began to scrape with the dagger in his hand. After a while, there was a handful in his hand, and he said: "Even if you throw the coffin lid down, Lao Tzu will not feel distressed." ”
Seeing this, the big anchor also wanted to pick it, and was scolded by me. In addition to the coffin lid inlaid with these things, this coffin is also ordinary in other places, although the birds and beasts on the side are alive, but they are only outlined with a pen.
"Old sail, can't you open it?" Big Anchor asked.
"Wait a minute!" I took out a handful of incense and pulled out five sticks. Secretly thought: Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, otherwise I would have been soaked.
"What are you doing with this?" Hu Mei's subordinate asked.
Between the words, I have inserted the incense into the incense trough, and put the incense trough into the coffin head, so that it is easy to observe, and it is more rule.
I replied, "If the incense burns in the shape of 'three long and two short', no matter what the situation is, you must leave immediately!" ”
These five incense sticks represent the three long boards and two short ends of the coffin respectively (the coffin lid was sealed later, so it is not counted), so it is three long and two short.
The last thing the Taoist is willing to order is the five incense, of which three long and two short are the most dangerous, once there is a three-long and two short life-urging incense, unless there is a turnaround, it is difficult to escape! Therefore, three long and two short are used to describe death and death!
This time, even Jin Can's subordinates questioned it, saying, "Some people believe in this thing?" I've been with Master Jin for so long, and I've never seen such a famous hall of tricks. ”
"You don't talk so much nonsense, and you didn't buy it with your money. If something happens, don't pee your pants! The big anchor scolded.
I glanced at the burning incense and said, "Open!" ”
Then the four of us dragged hard in each corner. It is also strange to say that the person who laid out everything so finely, except that the coffin lid did not have any mortise and tenon joints and no nails, except for the weight, it was not difficult to open.
"Be careful!" As soon as the words fell, the lid of the coffin had already slipped down, and only a "poof" sound was heard, and there was no movement.
At this moment, a strong wind blew from the bottom of the ship, blowing the iron and the sleeves of the coat with the sound of hunting. When the wind stopped, the four of us looked into the coffin at the same time.
There was indeed a corpse lying in the coffin, the corpse's face had turned black, its skin was wrinkled, its eye sockets were sunken, and its teeth were turned out, and there was no sign of cultivating immortals at all; However, this armor can show a bit of his strength during his lifetime.
A piece of gold leaf on the corpse's chest, which I picked up with gloves on.
The gold leaf probably records the life of this person, which is equivalent to an epitaph. Approximate content: This person is a general, martyred in the Battle of Yashan, and after death, he hopes to turn into a powerful ghost and still be able to fight the enemy!
The Battle of Yashan was a battle between the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan. After this battle, it marked the complete unification of China by the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, and it was also the first time that China was conquered by the nomads as a whole, when three-quarters of the Han people in the Song Dynasty's household register were all slaughtered, and the Han elite at that time either lived in seclusion overseas, or committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea, the ferocity of the Mongolian army was outrageous, although the Han people were defeated, but the spirit was indeed shaking the heavens and the earth.
The Battle of Yashan was even called by some scholars the demise of classical China, not a simple change of dynasty, and the civilization was broken, and the form of civilization after that was very different from that before the Song Dynasty.
I really didn't expect to see the generals of the naval battles here, and I couldn't help but be angry and admired; Just looking at the content of his epitaph, it seems that something is wrong, a little deviates from the original intention.
"Fuck, there's no treasure in here!" Hu Mei's men were a little disappointed.
Just when I was full of emotion, the afterglow fell on the incense trough, and I subconsciously looked at the incense, and it was actually burned into three long and two short! My heart thumped and jumped to my throat.
Hu Mei and Jin Can's men are fiddling with corpses and looking for treasures.
I shouted, "Stop! ”
They were a little confused by my shouting and asked what's wrong?
"There is a situation." I pointed to the incense.
Hu Mei's men didn't believe it, and continued to feel inside, their hands already reaching into the armor. muttered: "Except for the itching on Lao Tzu's body, everything else is normal." ”
The big anchor asked me what to do, and I looked at the incense again, still three long and two short; But after a while, nothing happened, and I began to doubt the credibility of these three long and two short; After all, this is also the first time I have encountered such a situation.
"Lao Fan, look!" The big anchor pointed to a crawling bug on the coffin lid.
The shell of the insect is transparent, and the stomach contains a red liquid, as if it were in a glass bottle. Curious, the anchor used his hand to catch the bug, and I thought it was too late to stop it.
"What kind of bug is this? It's quite unusual. The anchor placed it on his index finger and looked at it carefully with a flashlight.
"Throw him away! It's kind of like a 'Hellworm'. "I haven't seen an actual example, and I'm not sure for sure, but it looks like the one in the book.
"This insect doesn't move, it seems to be very obedient." The big anchor looks like a new species of pet has been discovered.
After a few moments, the anchor let out an "ah" and said, "This worm is drinking my blood!" "Big Anchor was surprised but didn't take it seriously, because there were many things that drank blood, such as ephedra in the river and common mosquitoes.
The insect instantly grew bigger when it drank the blood, and even began to drill into the big anchor's fingers! Only then did he realize the danger, but how to play with the bugs was firmly embedded in it.
Seeing that the worm had penetrated a third of the way, and the worm still had no intention of stopping, the big anchor's eyes were full of despair......
