Chapter 060: The Pit of Thousand Corpses
When the "patchwork people" were only a few centimeters apart, Liu Shi took Han Wei and Li Hua to the location of the pagoda, and at this time Liu Shi was about to collapse and rested against the pagoda. The "patchwork man" roared, and the crazy roar echoed in the ancient tomb, and the sound was extremely harsh, making people feel like they were on pins and needles. Although the sound is a great torture, the "patchwork man" never dares to approach the pagoda, and it is unknown why.
With time to rest, Han Wei and Li Hua regained consciousness one after another, Li Hua's physical exertion was too great, and he still needed someone to support him. The "Patchwork Man" was still roaring not far away, and the raging anger could be felt in the roar, and there was no doubt that it could burn everything. In any case, the "patchwork people" did not dare to approach, and Han Wei and the four of them could take a closer look around.
Han Wei only looked at the pagoda seriously at this time, the towering pagoda has various auspicious cloud patterns on it, and there are many divine beasts in the auspicious clouds, some of which are similar to unicorns, and some of which Han Wei does not know. The strangest thing is that the pagoda does not have a spire, I don't know if it is missing a section, or if it was originally shaped like this. Under the body of the pagoda, there are many runes engraved, which are somewhat similar to Lishu, but Han Wei can definitely not, these runes don't know if they are words, if they are words, in Han Wei's memory, no dynasty has appeared.
The runes on the tower's body seemed to have a flash of light, fleeting, Han Wei wasn't sure if it was an illusion, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wanted to touch the runes. In an unknown and mysterious place, it is extremely dangerous to touch things directly with your hands, there are too many unknown creatures that can take lives in an instant. However, Han Wei couldn't help but feel that the rune in front of him was calling him, and soon he touched it, and an inexplicable feeling hit his heart, and the scene in front of him changed, and the palace, the city wall, and the black pressed one.
"There's a door over here." Lao Zheng's voice suddenly sounded, and immediately pulled Han Wei back to reality, and before he could see the black pressure in front of him clearly.
Is it a hallucination? Or did you enter a real dream? Han Wei shook his head, wanting to clear his mind, and without thinking too much, he walked in the direction of Lao Zheng. The "patchwork man" was still eyeing the pagoda, and could only move forward close to the pagoda, and the speed was naturally very slow. At a distance of four or five meters, it took a few minutes to arrive, and I saw that in front of Lao Zheng was a stone door, with an obvious gap in the middle, and the light shone into it, and it could be seen that it was empty.
"What the hell is the place, how do you feel restless, and it's still very depressing."
"I also felt very depressed, and my legs were a little weak."
Li Hua and Liu Shi looked at Lao Zheng and said one after another, their expressions were a little ugly, which showed that this feeling was very strong. Li Hua and Liu Shi also have the feeling that Han Wei has, but it is not so strong, and they are still in the range of enduring.
"It's very strange here, you see that the text on the tower is somewhat similar to the official script, but it is similar to the oracle bone inscription. More than ten years ago, the Institute of Archaeology excavated an ancient tomb of the Xia Dynasty in Henan, and unearthed a stone tablet with a few vague words on it, which is very similar to the one in front of you, but it has not been determined, which period of writing, and some people even think that it is not a text at all, just some special symbols, which are used for sacrifice. Lao Zheng said as he tried to push the stone door. It didn't take much effort for the stone door to creak and slowly open.
At the moment when the stone door opened, the crazy screams of the "patchwork man" came: "Ah ......" The shout at this moment was deafening, and he could feel the anger and murderous aura in it, and he actually rushed forward, but when he was about to touch the pagoda, there was a burning smell from his body, as if he had been burned by fire. Black smoke rose from the body of the "patchwork man", and he hurriedly stepped back, screaming strangely, and there was a feeling of uneasiness, what was hidden inside the stone gate that would make the "patchwork man" so manic?
There was no time to think about it, the stone door had been opened, and it was quiet inside, and nothing unusual was seen. The light shone in, and I saw a square pillar in the middle, about another meter in size, leading to the top of the pagoda. On the square pillar, like the outside of the pagoda, there are many cloud patterns carved on them, arranged in a certain proportion, and many of the dots are connected, vaguely like palaces and city walls. Just looking at Fang Zhu, Han Wei immediately felt small in his heart, feeling like an ant.
Lao Zheng, Li Hua, and Liu Shi also had this feeling in their hearts, and they also had an urge to worship the square pillar. Lao Zheng and the three of them looked away almost at the same time, not looking at the square pillar, and immediately the feeling of bowing and worshipping disappeared for the most part.
Around the square pillar, there is a three-legged tripod at intervals, about one meter and a half high, with mountains and rivers on it, and some strange animals, thunder and lightning patterns, all of which have never been seen by Han Wei and the four of them. Han Wei stared at the three-legged tripod in front of him, all of which were made of bronze melting, but they were quite different from the ancient bronzes he usually saw, and they felt like defective products. It was not only Han Wei who felt this, Lao Zheng also felt this way, and he had already stepped forward at this time, wanting to take a closer look.
Han Wei followed Lao Zheng forward, and at this time he had already seen clearly, there were a total of nine tripods, evenly distributed around the square pillars. Linked to the pattern of the Nine Tripods, this reminded Han Wei of the Nine Tripods of the Xia Dynasty. In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu divided the world into Kyushu, so that the Kyushu state pastor contributed bronze, cast Jiuding, engraved the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu, strange things on the Jiuding, symbolized a state with a tripod, and concentrated Jiuding in the capital of the Xia Dynasty. Since then, Jiuding has become a symbol of the supremacy of royal power and the unity and prosperity of the country, after the Xia, Zhou, and Qin dynasties, a history of 2,000 years, and Kyushu has become synonymous with China, and has continued to this day.
If it is really the legendary Jiuding, then it is not much better than the jade seal of the country, which is a symbol of the divine power of the monarch and represents the supreme existence. Han Wei couldn't help but touch the three-legged tripod in front of him, without the excitement he imagined, as if it was an ordinary thing in front of him. Han Wei didn't know why he felt this way, even if the tripod in front of him was not the legendary Jiuding, it was definitely an antique, and it was also priceless, why did he feel that it was just a mortal thing?
While stroking the three-legged tripod and observing it carefully, Han Wei found that the tripod in his hand did not have the feeling of the bronze he had seen before, as if the thing in front of him had not been for a long time. Han Wei has also seen a lot of bronzes, all of which are about 2,000 years old, and he also has a certain understanding, and this feeling does not appear out of thin air.
When Lao Zheng was puzzled in Han Wei's heart, he suddenly said: "It's really strange, these patterns, as well as the inscriptions in the tripod, all have historical characteristics of thousands of years, and they are very symbolic, why is the three-legged tripod itself of poor quality, and the age does not seem to be very long." ”
It turns out that Lao Zheng also has the same opinion, with Lao Zheng's level, he will never be mistaken, the three-legged tripod in front of him is even more peculiar, is it an imitation of the legendary Jiuding? After the loss of Jiuding, there are indeed several dynasties that have imitated it, but it will never be made with defective products, which is a symbol of supreme power. Who is copying it? What is the purpose?
"Lao Zheng, you still found ......" Before Han Wei finished speaking, Li Hua and Liu Shi's exclamations came at the same time, and the two had already arrived at the other end of the square pillar, hearing the exclamations of the two, Han Wei and Lao Zheng thought something was wrong and immediately ran over.
Li Hua and Liu Shimu stood there, looking frightened, what appeared in front of Han Wei and Lao Zheng was a big pit, which was full of corpses, one by one, lined up one by one, piled up like a mountain, filling the big pit, I was afraid that there were thousands of people. Han Wei gasped, he was used to seeing death and dead corpses, and he couldn't help but tremble at this time, not only because there were too many corpses, but also because there were thousands of huge corpses that had not yet decomposed, and the hideousness on his face was still faintly visible, except for horror or horror, if he looked at it more, all the hideous faces appeared in his mind, and his heart was a little colder. The corpse in front of him seemed to be about to come to life and tear everything in front of him apart.
After being stunned for a moment, Han Wei and the four of them immediately retreated, worried about the corpse mutation, the corpses in the pit were all wearing Qing Dynasty military uniforms, looking at the white armor, it should be a white flag. Those armors, Lao Zheng can see at a glance that they are real, and now, the complete Qing Dynasty armor is also a very valuable thing, and thousands of pairs are definitely a huge amount of money. Presumably no one would joke so lavishly, and even if they wanted to, it was unknown whether they could find thousands of complete pairs of positive white flag armor. All this shows that the thousands of people in front of them are all dead people in the Qing Dynasty, even if it is the last year of the Qing Dynasty, it has been a hundred years, how can it not rot?
Look at the corpses in this pit, there is no blood stain on the armor on the body, what is it that makes thousands of people die, and they are abandoned in the pit, and even holding weapons in their hands, as if they died without any resistance, otherwise it is impossible to have no traces. Is it artificial? And who could make a thousand people die willingly, and why did they come here? Or is it a ghost? Kill everyone quietly, and the look of horror on the corpse seems to be the best proof.
Han Wei also has a certain understanding of the Eight Banners system, the Zhengbai Flag is one of the three flags on the Eight Banners, one of the emperor's pro-unification, there is no king in the flag, the soldiers are the emperor's personal soldiers, to put it bluntly, they are the personal soldiers of the imperial family, and only the emperor can order them, of course, in a specific period of time, there are other people who can command them, such as the Empress Dowager Cixi at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Han Wei was shocked by his thoughts, could it be true that it was related to the Empress Dowager Cixi? The idea didn't last long, and it was suppressed by Han Wei, just guessing out of thin air, which was a bit unrealistic.
Things are getting more and more weird, it is suspected that it is the Jiuding of the Xia Dynasty, and the corpse of the Qing Dynasty has appeared, what is the pagoda, what era is it? Was this pit of a thousand people deliberate, or did it come later?
"Let's stand back, don't move anything, let's see what the hell it is." Lao Zheng's serious voice came, Han Wei, Li Hua, and Liu Shi immediately approached, and the four of them formed a group, and in case of an accident, they could support each other as soon as possible.
Under the leadership of Lao Zheng, he quickly left the location of the Thousand People Pit, and only stopped when he couldn't see it. At this time, you can still hear the roar of the "patchwork man" outside the stone gate, leaving is temporarily impossible, and you have to stay in the pagoda.
