Chapter 61: See the Coral Pattern Again
The blind man waved his hand after hearing Wu Yi's words and said,
"The old man just said that 'the corpse contains the key' has a shading mountain, not to say that the key in the mouth of this good man in the coffin must represent a treasure. But Wu Ye, you can open your mind a little, don't always be so cramped, maybe this key does not represent the treasure that the old man said, or it may represent a secret that the man in the coffin is unwilling to disclose to the world, or something worthy of his death. It's all very likely. ”
Wu Yi didn't know if he understood what the blind man said, so he asked directly,
"Then according to you, should we take this key or not?"
The blind man made a forbidden gesture decisively, and said,
"Master Wu, no matter what kind of thing this key represents the old man said before, whether it is a treasure, a secret, or an existence worth guarding, without exception, all of them are extremely important things for this tomb owner. What's more, this key is still hidden so hidden, even if the old man touched it with the special technique of Jieling Lux before, he was not aware of the existence of this key. If he hadn't sat up all of a sudden, no one would have been aware of the key's existence. You say, if you take out this precious thing rashly, who knows what will happen? So, as the old man sees, it's better not to touch it. ”
Wu Yi was a little itchy, he believed half of the blind man's words, and the other half felt that the blind man was a little alarmist, and said,
"As you said, this key is so hidden by it that it is difficult to be discovered, and if I hadn't caught a glimpse of it earlier, I'm afraid we would have really been wrong. But then again, if there is really any danger after taking it out, then is it necessary for this thief bald to hide it so well? Wouldn't it be more in line with him to put him in a prominent position and use it as a trap to kill us? ”
The blind man sighed and said,
"Master Wu, it's a bit of a bull's horn when you say this, judging from the old man's experience over the years, it's better for us not to move this thing. Don't forget what the purpose of our trip is, you just want that human skin map, and the old man just wants to come and have a good time, so that he can die without regrets in the future, even if this key really represents a treasure, it has nothing to do with us. ”
Wu Yihe laughed twice and said,
"You forgot how many sins we suffered before this day, even if we don't take this key out, Lao Tzu will take it out and throw it into this underground river, and teach this thief a lesson!"
After that, Wu Yi didn't pay attention to the blind man anymore, and directly used his gloved fingers to clamp the key that was half exposed outside the mouth of the white-haired zongzi, and then pulled it out! The blind man wanted to stop it, but it was already a little too late, the key was not bitten by the white-haired zongzi as Wu Yi thought, but only gently held it in his mouth, Wu Yi pulled the key out with a little force!
Pull it out and see, this is really a square round bottom key with the length of the index finger, the whole body is a clear black jade color, heavy in the hand, the teeth of the key are polished out of a row of uneven and convex lines, it looks a little similar to the key we use now, on the side of the key, it is painted with a pattern! What is Lacquer Painting? Lacquer grinding is to use different colors of lacquer to apply on the side of this key, the lacquer has a certain thickness, and then on this layer of thick lacquer, a certain pattern is depicted.
This pattern is mainly two colors, gold and red, I don't know how the key is kept in the mouth of the zongzi, the color of the lacquer is as if it has just been painted. Wu Yi glanced at this pattern, and suddenly his eyes froze, this pattern, he had seen it before!
The pattern on the pattern is like a strange plant similar to coral, the main trunk of this plant is golden, and above its main trunk, countless branches extend in all directions, these branches are all fiery red, like a ball of flame growing on the main trunk of this coral plant. This strange plant had been seen by Wu Yi in the tomb full of murals in the tomb just below, but the difference was that the strange plant on the mural was not painted, and there was a child lying quietly on each branch on it, but there was no child on the painted plant pattern.
The blind man had said that this strange plant that looked like coral should have been used for sacrifice at that time, and if the children were really sacrifices, then this plant should be the sacrificial altar.
Wu Yi didn't expect that there was such a thing painted on this key, so he first glanced at the white-haired zongzi, who was still sitting there straight and motionless at this time, as if Wu Yi's actions did not disturb him at all, Wu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and told the blind man about the strange tree painted on the key.
When the blind man saw that after Wu Yi pulled out the key, there didn't seem to be any wind and grass around, and he also slightly let go of some hanging hearts, and sighed,
"Master Wu, there is a little weirdness everywhere here, even if the old man begs you, don't be so reckless next time, if something unbelievable really happens, we both have to explain here! Although nothing has happened until now after you took out the key, but you must also be full of energy, and you must not slack off, the old man always feels a little uneasy in his heart, is there something big about it? ”
Wu Yi smiled and said,
"I think you were frightened by those things before, you were afraid of wolves and tigers, we have encountered enough strange things today, where will there be more? Don't say anything more, you hurry up and study where this key is made, and I'll be responsible for putting away the vajra and double-headed ritual vessel you mentioned earlier. ”
Saying that, Wu Yi wanted to hand over the key to the blind man, but as soon as he gave it away, Wu Yi suddenly felt a weak force pulling back in his hand, and sighed lightly Wu Yi is look at the key, but he was stunned.
I saw that at the top of the key, on the key that was previously contained in the mouth of the white-haired zongzi, there was a silver silk thread that was much thinner than a hair, Wu Yi looked along the thin line, and the other end of the thin line was connected to the mouth of the corpse.
"Why is this still connected to a thread? Is there something good hanging on the other side of the line? ”
Wu Yi was puzzled, and at the same time he pulled out, and the thin thread spit out from the mouth of the zongzi.
