Chapter 189: The Twelfth Dried Corpse

Turtle shell picture, Dayu's tomb. Twelve Protectors, Metal Fish. Three magic weapons, under the Xuanming. Queen Mother Elixir, Tiger Donkey. ”

This is the mantra recited by Uncle Shi three days ago, when Li He, who is now dead, stopped the police car, and he said that these are a few words that have been passed down from generation to generation by the people of the Yellow River Dao. He pondered these few sentences for half his life, and only understood a few of them, but he never understood what the three sentences of "Twelve Protectors" and "Queen Mother Elixir, Tiger and Donkey" meant.

"Old Sun, are the twelve protectors referring to these twelve coffins?" Chen Laosan asked.

"To be precise, it's not the coffin, it's the people in the coffin! If I'm not mistaken, this tomb should be the tomb of Dayu's protectors, a total of twelve, doesn't it just correspond to the 'twelve protectors'! ”

We gathered around the first coffin, and the dried corpse lying inside was only skin and bones, but it was still clear that the deceased was very fierce and fierce in his life. It is estimated that this person was more than 1.85 meters tall before his death, and scars left by sharp weapons such as swords can be vaguely seen on his face and arms.

Xiao Li asked, "Why is the coffin not covered?" It can't be to preserve the corpse, right? ”

Chen Laosan shook his head and said: "Whether there is a coffin lid or not, it does not have a big impact on the protection of the corpse, but I think the reason why there is no coffin lid is related to the identity of these twelve people!" ”

"Identity? Aren't they Dharma protectors?"

The Dharma protector is actually a guard, a person who the ancient monarch stayed by his side to protect his safety.

"Dayu may want them to still fulfill their duties after death!"

Uncle Shi said coldly.

"Then this Dayu is not as great as the legend! Everyone is dead, and they won't let them ...... off work," Xiao Li muttered.

Zhang Kailong immediately sighed and said, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Dayu is actually a generation of emperors! In the days of the supremacy of ancient monarchs, what was this! ”

"It's not twelve, it's eleven!"

We were chatting when we suddenly heard Li Xiaobai shouting in front of a coffin seven or eight meters away.

"What, little bad? What are you shouting?"

Zhang Kailong asked. In fact, it was not that he didn't hear Li Xiaobai's words clearly, but he didn't understand them.

"Come and see! This coffin is empty, there is nothing in it! ”

We hurriedly gathered around, and sure enough, the coffin was empty.

When Uncle Shi saw it, his face changed color, and he said in horror: "Impossible! Impossible! In these thousands of years, we were the first people to arrive here alive, how could the corpse be missing? ”

"That's not right! Uncle Shi, didn't you say that those bones in the temple of gods before were the remains of tomb robbers from all dynasties? ”

Uncle Shi smiled bitterly and replied, "Now it seems that I misjudged, maybe ...... Maybe those skeletons were drowning people dragged in from outside by giant termites......"

I ignored Xiao Li and continued to ask: "Could it be that the coffin was just prepared at the beginning, but the person was not put in it?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Li denied this assumption, she pointed to the faint marks in the coffin and said: "You see the traces of the silhouette of a human body here, indicating that there is a corpse lying here for many years, and the traces are left by the fat of the corpse." ”

These few people are all confused by the second monk.

No outsiders have come, and the corpse is gone, so it can't be that the corpse left on its own, right?

At this time, Zhang Kailong said "Huh", pointed to a corner of the coffin and said: "Look, there is an irregular oval trace here, which seems to be a little familiar!" ”

I looked for it, and sure enough, it was an oval mark about the size of a human face, and criss-crossing net-like fine marks could be faintly seen in the oval.

"This ...... This one...... It's the imprint of a turtle's shell! ”

Uncle Shi shouted, his voice trembling a little.

I saw that Uncle Shi's face suddenly became nervous, and his hands trembled a little, he bent down, took out the turtle shell engraved with the Luohe map from his backpack, and carefully pointed it on.

Seeing him take out the turtle shell, a few of us knew what he was thinking, and several of us stared at his hand in a daze.

I saw that the tortoise shell was tightly matched to the trace, not a centimeter more, not less than a centimeter.

"How could it be left by this turtle shell! Isn't this turtle shell from the High Priest?"

At this time, even Chen Laosan, who had always been calm, had a hundred thousand whys on his face, and muttered to himself with doubts on his face.

Suddenly, his face changed, and he became extremely gloomy.

"Old Sun, is it ......?"

"It's hard to believe!"

The two of you said a word, like a dumb riddle, and the four of us listened to the circle.

Zhang Kailong finally couldn't help it and interrupted the two of them to "pair dumb riddles".

"An'ny two! What the hell is going on? Can't we make it clear? ”

Chen Laosan sighed, soothed his emotions, and slowly asked Zhang Kailong: "Kailong!" What kind of man do you think the High Priest was? ”

Zhang Kailong didn't expect Chen Laosan's thinking to jump so fast, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "He...... He doesn't look like a human being at all! Didn't you say that he was a resurrected corpse? ”

Chen Laosan nodded and continued: "How can an ordinary dried corpse be so!" I've long suspected that his identity before his death was not simple! ”

Uncle Shi continued: "In addition to his suspicious behavior and identity, the appearance of this turtle shell diagram is also suspicious! ”

"What's wrong with the turtle shell diagram?" Li Xiaobai didn't understand the meaning of Uncle Shi's words.

"For thousands of years, this turtle shell diagram has not appeared, and I doubt that someone will hide it in a place where descendants can't find it at all, or that it has been destroyed, after all, after Dayu's death, many things are not what he said."

Uncle Shi pointed to the traces of the oval turtle shell in the coffin and continued: "What I never expected is that this turtle shell picture has been hidden in Dayu's tomb, which is like you locked the door, but the key was left in the house, so how can others find it!" ”

After hearing this, my mind buzzed, and I understood everything in an instant.

Xiao Li and Li Xiaobai continued to ask with a look of ignorance.

I can't listen to what they say.

There is only one result that can meet the conditions described by Uncle Shi and Chen Laosan: it is not someone else who enters the tomb and gets the body out of the coffin, but the coffin where the corpse left by itself, leaves the tomb, and takes away the turtle shell in the coffin.

To put it more clearly, it is the dried corpse in this coffin that has been resurrected. He's the High Priest!

In an instant, it was like a lightning bolt in my head, it was unbelievable, the person I had met several times was actually a dried corpse that lived four or five thousand years ago and was later resurrected!
