Chapter 65: Smoke to the Grave
"It really looks like a tombstone." If you connect these two things, it is really a tomb, with a mound of sealed soil behind and this tombstone in front.
Who will build a tomb in the treasure land?
Tang Yin and I walked around to the stone tablet, I wanted to see if there was anything written on the tombstone.
When I got to the tombstone, I saw that there were only some lines on the tombstone that I couldn't understand, and there wasn't a single word that I could read.
"What the fuck is this?"
Tang Yin walked to the stone tablet without speaking, as if she had found something, and after looking at it for a while, she beckoned me to come over, "Look at this." ”
I looked at the position of her finger, and there was a tender green leaf on the top of the stele, oval, quite long, about the length of the palm of the hand, but not wide, about the width of a knuckle, and there were some small black dots on it, and the bottom of the leaf seemed to be directly embedded in the stele, and it looked as if the leaf had grown from the top of the stone.
"What kind of leaf is this? It grew from this stone. "I tried to pinch the leaf and gently tugged it, but it didn't come out, it was indeed embedded in it, and it was very tightly embedded.
"I don't know what kind of leaf it is, but when you smell it, it smells like some kind of Chinese herbal medicine." Tang Yin shrunk his nose and said.
I also smelled a little strange smell on the leaves before, but I am not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, a few days ago after knowing the eight prescriptions, I went to the school library to find some basic Chinese medicine books to see, probably know some medicinal materials, but are some of the most basic common medicinal materials, Chinese medicine has been accumulated for thousands of years, all kinds of strange Chinese medicine is also varied, that is a layman like me can figure out in a day or two by flipping through the book.
However, I memorized all the herbs in those prescriptions, and there were descriptions of them, and it didn't say that one herb grew on a stone, and the other herbs didn't have much to do with me, what I needed now was the herbs on those prescriptions.
"No matter what it is, I'll get this leaf down, and show it to the old man of the Zhao family when the time comes, they are from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, they should be able to know, and let them talk about it when there is any problem." As I spoke, I gently straightened the leaf with one hand and cut it with a knife along the spot where it met the stone.
As soon as the knife was put in a little bit, I saw a trace of red liquid coming from the cut wound, which looked like blood, very little, but obvious.
I quickly stopped, "What's going on?" How is it red? "I lowered my head a little and smelled it, it really smelled of blood, and I couldn't be wrong.
Tang Yin held the short knife tightly, her eyes staring around the tombstone, she slowly leaned over and sniffed, "It's not just blood, it's human blood." ”
"This leaf has the same blood flowing in it as a human? Is it inherently this blood, or is it just human blood? "I've never heard of any plants that have the same blood as humans, so why donate blood in that case, the problem of blood transfusion in the hospital has long been easily solved.
Tang Yin shook his head and said that he didn't know either.
This feeling is very strange, although I know that this is a leaf, but it is flowing with human blood, I don't know if it's okay, and there is always an inexplicable feeling in my heart after knowing it. The feeling that people look at it, cutting this leaf feels like killing people first.
I tried my best to convince myself of the strange idea, and quickly cut off the leaf, took a paper towel and wrapped the leaf in my pocket, and still had a strange feeling in my heart, and after cutting the leaf, there was still a very fine blood dripping from the cut.
"Look at the location up there, I just looked for it and found that there are quite a few of those leaves on it." I finished getting those, and Tang Yin raised his head and motioned for me to look up.
Sure enough, there were several of those leaves at the top of the stele, and each leaf was separated by a distance.
"Could it be that this whole stele is a tree? Or what other plant? Impossible. "I took the back of my knife and struck on the top of the stele, and it sounded like a stone.
"Let's leave this broken tombstone alone, let's see if there's anything else around." I don't know, and there's no need to fight against a tombstone, "Let's not get too far away." ”
I couldn't see what was in the distance, so the two of us walked around the bottom of the mound of earth, which was big enough, and the mound of the grave I had seen before, that is, the mound of sealed mound in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was bigger than this.
It's just that the mound in front of me is piled up with a kind of black soil, I poked it on the mound with a knife, the soil is very soft, and the soil is not scattered when the knife is inserted into it, it feels a little like mud, but it is not mud, and there is nothing on it, like this kind of soil, there should be no underground palace or anything in the mound, it is too soft, is it said that there are so many mounds of earth here, or is there something built under the mound?
"Do you want to dig this thing up and see what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are buried inside?" I asked Tang Yin casually.
Is this choking? I smiled, in fact, the line of asking medicine and the brothers who robbed the tomb were originally close neighbors, and generally many treasures were also near the tombs, because after all, most of the treasures of the ancients were buried in the tombs, but even if they were buried in the tombs, as long as the treasure realm was formed, it had nothing to do with the tomb itself, because the treasures would be hidden in the treasure realm, not in the tombs, and the medicine people would enter the treasure realm directly through the treasure aura, and the brothers who robbed the tombs were digging graves to get the inside of the tomb coffins. Those things in the tomb are detrimental to the yin and harmony, and it is said that the general medicine robbers are unwilling to do it, and they are not willing to do it.
"Whatever you want, you can dig as you want, but do you bring a guy? Won't I dig with your hands? Tang Yin had an indifferent expression.
"Yes." I glanced up, such a high and large mound, although the soil is very soft, but digging by hand can also exhaust people to death, and this mound is not a big hole at all, as soon as you dig out a little, the surrounding soil will be squeezed up, this is a special kind of tomb that is a headache for the brothers of the tomb robbery quicksand tomb is a bit similar, but this mound is much more convenient to build than the quicksand tomb, and the quicksand does not have the solid ability of this soil, and I don't know what this soil is?
"Huh?" When I looked up, I noticed a sudden puff of white smoke coming out of the top of the mound.
"What's going on? Is this the smoke rising from the legendary grave? ”
