Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bronze Corpse
After Huzi said this, I was shocked, because when I was a child, I also heard of the Luban book when I was studying various classics with my grandmother. At that time, I remember that there was a book called "The Leaking Machine", which had very little record of this book. It is said that there are three heavenly books in the world, two of which are congenital and one is acquired. "River Map", "Luo Shu", "Luban Book", the book says, "The ancestors are conceived, the river is out of the map, Luo is out of the book, and the sage is it." Later generations ginseng Xuan, Lu Ban got a glimpse of the heavenly opportunity and created the secret of metaphysics in the world". That is to say, earlier than the appearance of human beings, a book of heaven called Hetu appeared in the Yellow River, and a book of heaven called Luoshu appeared in Luoshui, and one of them was a saint in the world. In later generations, there was another person named Lu Ban, who understood the mystery of the operation of heaven and earth, and wrote a book called Lu Ban Shu, revealing the secrets of metaphysics in the world.
In the past, my opinion on these three things was nonsense, and there was only one article in Hetu and Luoshu, which drew a geometric image of a specific rule, which I understood to be the origin of arithmetic. As for the Luban book, I have also read the simplified Chinese version, the first volume is Taoism, the second volume is solution and medical magic, and there are many miscellaneous articles about the influence of house construction in feng shui. However, with the exception of medical spells, there are no specific methods of practice, only spells and charms. On the contrary, everything about architecture is very detailed, so I thought most of the book was fabricated. After all, Lu Ban seems to me to be the carpenter's grandfather, and I'm not sure if this book was written by him himself. Besides, if it really is a secret book, it has long been regarded as a forbidden treasure by the people who got it, how can it be published and sold in major bookstores.
Huzi claims to be the only person who has passed on the Luban book, and his words are in a single line, and from my brief understanding of him, this person does not look like the kind of person who lies and speaks big words. What's more, the ability he showed just now also proves this, everyone present is the easiest for him to fight snakes, except for me, who borrowed the power of the immortal family.
I asked Zhou Tong what he thought of Huzi's words, and he told me that there was a legend of Lubanshu in his time, but in fact he had never seen it, and he could only see that Huzi's ability was not Buddhism or Taoism, and it was really powerful. When I heard him say this, I had the heart to ask Huzi about the details, Huzi smiled heartily and said to me: "Now is not the time for this place, when the money is in hand, brother, I will invite you to dinner, and then I will have a good science popularization with you." ”
What Huzi said I have a better impression of him, he is a heartless person and a good friend. I thought to myself that I would invite him at that time, how to say that I have already received 500,000 yuan, and the next thing cannot be done, my ultimate goal is to stir up. Huzi earns 20,000 yuan, and if he spends a few hundred yuan for inviting me to dinner, I really feel a little unhappy in my heart.
After this battle, everyone present was a little more vigilant. The security leader walked in front with a miner's lamp, and he was careful with every step he took, looking at Zhang Ye every once in a while, for fear that he would trigger any mechanism because he didn't understand the doorway. At this time, the sides of the road we walked on were still painted with characters similar to the inscription, but the wall material here was different from before, as if some light-absorbing material was used. The miner's lamp can only shine at a distance of less than two meters here, the front and back are dark, everyone is closer in the cautious, and even Changqingzi is closely following behind the monk.
A group of us were next to each other, and we didn't dare to walk quickly because the light was too dim, and it took nearly half an hour to finally see a stone room in front of us. This stone chamber is more than twice as large as the previous burial chamber, and the decoration looks much more elaborate. The walls are no longer ordinary bluestone slabs, but slippery materials that resemble jade rather than jade. What is even more surprising to us is that the ancient inscriptions that were previously ubiquitous have disappeared, and some murals have appeared on the walls instead.
The habits of writing and painting in ancient times are very different from those of today, and they are all used to go from top to bottom and from right to left. In this order, starting from the first wall on the right-hand side, the mural depicts an ancient battlefield, and there is no color other than orange and red throughout the painting, I don't know if it is because it is mottled or because there is no other paint in that era. The painting depicts a river with a thick ribbon, along which two armies are confronted, and on the left is led by a general twice as tall as the others, with thick arms and feet completely out of proportion to the body. The leader on the right looks like a woman, and she actually sits cross-legged in the air.
The second is the convergence of the two armies, and the fight is extremely fierce. A line is drawn on each of the people who have been knocked down, and it is not known whether it is a representation of a soul or something. The third is the corpses all over the battlefield, and the remaining two leaders turned their backs to each other, and then drifted away, as if the victory or defeat of the battle had nothing to do with them. Then a deer flew in the sky, and the deer held a small tripod in its mouth, and all the thin threads on the dead people flew into the small ding, and then finally converged into three incense sticks.
These pictures are like children's paintings, they are really abstract, there are not only people and beasts on the battlefield, but you can't see what is drawn, you can only distinguish between people with two legs and animals with four legs. Huzi scratched his head while watching from the sidelines and asked me, "Brother, what do you say this painting is trying to express?" War? Soul collectors? ”
I can't say it for a while, Sun Zilin, who is like a mute, doesn't know which nerve is wrong, and expressed his opinion for the first time: "In my opinion, it should be a sacrifice, and the ancients' expressions are more exaggerated. ”
Huzi nodded suddenly, but I was a little unimpressed by this statement. If it's a sacrifice, catch someone and slaughter it directly, how to explain the war scenes in the first two pictures? It doesn't make sense.
We were admiring the mural here, and Qin Wuye suddenly asked Zhang Ye impatiently: "Lao Zhang, look at what's going on, why is there no way out." ”
We were all attracted to the mural just now, and we didn't notice anything wrong. As soon as Qin Wuye said this, we reacted, three pictures and three walls, and there was no other way out except for the corridor behind, as if the entire tomb had come to an abrupt end in front of us. Directly in front of what was supposed to be a passage is a wall with a second picture on it.
No one would believe that this tomb is finished here, because we have never seen the coffin from beginning to end. The ancients built tombs except for burial chambers and institutions, but they did not bury themselves, and spent so many rare medicinal materials to get eight bronze armored corpses, just to tease the tomb robbers of later generations, isn't that a brain disease? Therefore, there are only two possibilities for the facts in front of us, one, we are on the wrong path. Two, this stone chamber should have a trap tunnel leading to other places.
There was only one way we could dig into the burial chamber, and the stone chamber in front of us was beautifully decorated but empty, apparently for transition, so the most likely was the second one. Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Ye, and he was a well-deserved expert in this regard. Zhang Ye didn't talk nonsense, and immediately began to search in all corners of the stone room.
To our disappointment, it took him more than ten minutes to explore the entire stone chamber from right to left but found nothing. Zhang Ye didn't seem to be in a hurry, and began to touch from left to right again. During the whole process, it could be seen that although Qin Wuye concealed it well, he looked at Zhang Ye's anxious gaze and revealed a little anger.
"Don't make a sound, there seems to be some movement." Just when we were all looking at Zhang Ye, Chang Qingzi suddenly came to say something out of nowhere. He is a very arrogant person, and since we entered the stone room, he has been holding his shoulders and watching from the Yongdao crossing, as if he had to stand out from the crowd.
He said in such a voice that we all turned our attention to him, listening with bated breath. On the other side of the road, there seemed to be a "click" sound grinding the floor through it, and the speed seemed to be quite fast, and it was close in the blink of an eye. The miner's lamp was held in the hands of the security chief, and no one could see the situation in the corridor. Changqingzi frowned and took out a strong flashlight from his pocket, and at the same time, half of his body had already leaned out of the corridor.
At the same time I heard the voice, I could almost guess what it was. Taking advantage of everyone's lack of attention, I pulled the tiger and retreated to the wall, and whispered to him: "Don't act rashly for a while, you can do whatever I want." Huzi probably didn't understand what I meant, but he still chose to trust me, and he nodded, signaling me to rest assured.
Changqingzi didn't seem to see clearly, and took another half step out, and then his body shook and exclaimed: "! "Lao Dao didn't shout that Infinite Tianzun had changed to scolding, which showed how terrifying the things he saw. He scolded and was just about to retreat, when he heard a bang, his body was like a cannonball out of the chamber, and he was directly slammed into the stone chamber by a strong force, and at the same time let out a miserable scream from his mouth.
At the same time that Changqingzi was smashed in, a blue shadow rushed in against his body. The pawn monk on the side was not slow to react, he said, "Heh! With a sigh, he grabbed the vajra with both hands and smashed it against the cyan shadow of the heavenly spirit cover. This smash was sturdy, and when I heard the sound of "bang", the blue-green shadow was also stopped by this blow. At the same time, the monk snorted in his mouth, and bloodshot could already be seen in the tiger's mouth.
With this pause, we finally saw the true face of the thing in front of us. It is clearly the bronze humanoid statue in the stone corridor, but now it is no longer appropriate to say that it is a statue, and he has been mistaken for a patina before, but at this time it has become a broccoli-like green hair, and the place where the lococheus python was originally coiled in the middle of the waist is a round hole, and it is estimated that the human python has returned to the bronze armored corpse. The bronze corpse's face was covered with green hair, and its eyes were filled with holes in two black holes, and its mouth was bubbling with green gas, proving that this thing was not only invulnerable, but also poisonous.
The pawn monk thought that the bronze armor corpse had lost its combat effectiveness after his blow, and he turned his head and looked at Zhang Ye who was still looking for the organ with some anger: "Zhang Ye, what's going on?" The python is dead, how did this thing come back to life? ”
Before Zhang Ye could speak, a sudden change occurred. The bronze armored corpse, which had been stagnant, suddenly quickly raised his arm and grabbed the neck of the pawn monk. Then we heard two "whoosh" sounds, and two turquoise shadows rushed into the stone chamber and pounced on us.
