Chapter 40: Treasures

Entering the stone tower, An Ran was a little dizzy by the golden light, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to cover it. Wait until your eyes are getting used to it before you put your hands down.

The entire stone tower was huge, but An Ran did not see the countless treasures in his imagination, only a piece of armor that had long been worn out hung on a shelf. Next to the shelf, a silver spear stood quietly.

When it comes to treasures, this armor and silver spear should be regarded as peerless relics, worthy of the name.

But there are only two eyes in the stone tower, and things can be regarded as treasures.

As for the golden light, it was not emitted by the treasure at all, but by the magnificent murals on the four walls of the stone tower. The four walls of the entire stone pagoda are all this kind of glittering murals, and An Ran feels that these should be painted with gold powder.

Under the light of the brazier in the stone tower, it emits a dazzling golden light.

"This mural seems to be a story!"

Wang Shengli looked around and muttered, "It's still the story of the Vermilion Bird King!" ”

An Ran didn't have much research on the murals, but Wang Shengli was born as a tomb robber and must have studied the murals, so he asked: "What story is depicted in the murals, be specific." ”

Wang Shengli said as he walked: "The content of the mural is roughly that in the twelfth year of the Suzaku Dynasty, the palace rebelled, and the ministers forced the palace Suzaku King to abdicate and self-judge!" ”

"Obediently, I really didn't expect that the Vermilion Bird King turned out to be a woman!"

An Ran also saw this, the woman wearing the dragon robe in the mural was a woman, and she was still a very beautiful woman. However, in her, she can see the domineering spirit of the king, and she is not chaotic in the face of the ministers and generals drawing their swords and facing each other.

A woman who created the most mysterious and powerful dynasty in history, remarkable, really remarkable!

An Ran admired the Vermilion Bird King very much in his heart.

At this time, Wang Shengli looked at the mural and continued: "The ministers forced the palace to fail, and they were ready to kill the Vermilion Bird King, at this time, the general Tai Shiyuan came from the border, wearing battle armor and killing thousands of troops, all the way into the palace. ”

"This Tai Shi Yuan is really powerful, his troops were blocked outside the palace, he broke into the palace alone, and when he came to the main hall, he was already covered with blood, as if he was wearing a bloody armor."

"After Tai Shiyuan came, one person killed among the rebels, and the blood in the hall flowed like a river. In the end, Tai Shiyuan rescued the Vermilion Bird King, but he was seriously injured and in danger. ”

Suddenly, Wang Shengli paused, seemed a little surprised, and continued: "The Vermilion Bird King has something that can bring the dead back to life, but he needs one thing, and that thing is packed in a phoenix-patterned brocade box and placed in the palace. ”

"So in order to save Tai Shiyuan, King Suzaku gathered his subordinates, killed back to the palace, slaughtered all the traitors, and finally found the phoenix pattern brocade box."

An Ran listened attentively, saw Wang Shengli stop, and asked, "Did the Vermilion Bird King save Tai Shiyuan?" ”

"I don't know!" Wang Shengli shook his head.

"How can you not know what that messy mural means?" An Ran pointed to the back half of the mural, and there were some small characters on it, but unfortunately he couldn't understand the ancient characters.

Wang Shengli explained: "There is really no record of whether General Tai Shiyuan was saved or not, but the next day, the Vermilion Bird King slaughtered the whole city, and the entire capital was bloody. Tens of thousands of soldiers washed away the blood, and it didn't wash it off for a month. ”

"I'm dripping! This woman is too poisonous, why should she slaughter the whole city? The common people didn't oppose him? ”

An Ran also felt strange, as the lord of the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, why did he slaughter the entire city, it was all her people!

His gaze fell on the last fresco, on which were neatly arranged armor, but these armors were very strange, and they all looked hard.

In the center of the armor, there is a building that looks exactly like the stone tower.

An Ran was stunned, isn't the scene in this mural the stone tower where they are? Those armor are the dense human figurines outside.

The murals continue.

Behind is the scene in the stone tower, in which there is a sarcophagus. The Vermilion Bird King bent down and stood beside the sarcophagus and put the phoenix-patterned brocade box into the sarcophagus.

There was another paragraph at the back, but An Ran couldn't understand it, so he hurriedly asked: "Big gold chain, what is written on the last mural?" ”

Wang Shengli squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and muttered: "The door of immortality is open, and I will live up to it again." ”

Wang Shengli was confused: "What do you mean?" ”

An Ran was also at a loss.

However, faintly, An Ran felt that the relationship between the Vermilion Bird King and Tai Shuyuan was not just a monarch and a minister. It is likely that the slaughter of the city is also for Tai Shuyuan.

In the mural, it is said that the phoenix brocade box can be brought back to life, but this must be absurd, people die when they die, how can they be resurrected?

If you guess correctly, the person in the sarcophagus should be Tai Shuyuan. This is not the mausoleum of the Suzaku King, but the mausoleum built by the Suzaku King for Taishuyuan.

With so many manpower and material resources and such an elaborate arrangement, the scale of this mausoleum is comparable to that of an emperor. It can be seen that the Vermilion Bird King's feelings for Taishuyuan far surpass those of the monarch and the minister.

However, Tai Shuyuan broke into the palace gate alone and desperately rescued the Vermilion Bird King, which shows that he is not only loyal to the Vermilion Bird King.

The last sentence of the mural should have been left by the Vermilion Bird King to Tai Shu Yuan, and she also insisted that Tai Shu Yuan could be resurrected, but there was one condition, that is, the door of immortality was opened.

What is the Immortal Gate, An Ran is completely confused.

However, judging from this sentence, the Vermilion Bird King has failed Tai Shiyuan, but Tai Shiyuan still does not give up on her, even if he loses his life, he has no regrets.

This reminded An Ran of the demon Buddha appearance, how could Mida not have a negative demon emperor? The Demon Emperor still never gave up on Mida, and blocked the endless suffering of hell for Mida.

Another poignant love story!

"What about the sarcophagus? Where is the sarcophagus? ”

Luo Chen's roar pulled An Ran back to reality from his thoughts, only to see Luo Chen emotional, pointing at Xia Long and shouting, "Where did you hide the sarcophagus?" ”

Seeing Luo Chen's excited appearance, An Ran understood that what he wanted must be the phoenix-patterned brocade box that the Vermilion Bird King put in the sarcophagus that is said to be able to bring the dead back to life.

In terms of value, combined with the murals, the phoenix brocade box is absolutely priceless, whether it is a collection or archaeological significance, it cannot be measured by money.

But An Ran always felt that Luo Xianxian's big game back then would never be as simple as just getting a phoenix pattern brocade box to collect.

An Ran glanced at Xia Long, lowered his voice and said, "Where is the mechanism, release the sarcophagus, otherwise Xia Bing will be in danger!" ”

Xia Long stood there motionless, his mask covering his face, and his expression could not be seen.

Seeing that Luo Chen was getting more and more excited, Xia Long said: "If you really release the sarcophagus, we may all die here!" ”

"Why?" An Ran asked.

"Because the sarcophagus is not a human, but a demon, a demon who can control people's behavior." Xia Long asked in a deep voice: "Do you remember how Peng Dayu and Li Liang's deaths were described in the notes?" ”

An Ran frowned and said: "The front of the notes has been destroyed, we only know that they shot each other, as for why they did this, we don't know." ”

Xia Long's voice became even more gloomy, and he said almost word for word: "Because, they opened the sarcophagus!" ”
