Chapter 56: The Cold Jade Coffin
Stepping into the main burial chamber, it was like entering a large ice cellar, and a cold air came to my face, and I couldn't resist it, and I shivered from the cold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now I'm sure it's not a psychological effect, it's a real cold, because under the yellow glow of the miner's lamp I can see the white mist of water vapor that I exhale, a phenomenon that can only occur in the cold of winter.
But it's summer, and even though it's underground, it's not so outrageous!
Could it be that we stumbled into the cellar where King Zhou Yu stored cold drinks?
I opened my brain, while learning from Lao Zhao's example, took out a tarp from my bag, wrapped it around my body, Lao Zhao took out a few more cloths, wrapped them in a section of rebar pipe, poured soju, and made a simple torch, the raging flame burned, we unconsciously leaned towards the torch, and the cold on our bodies eased a little.
After solving this problem, we turned on the "Wolf Eye" flashlight and began to observe the situation nearby.
This main burial chamber is very huge, it can be said to be a huge underground palace, with no end in sight, compared to the underground palace with a white jade platform that we have visited before.
Lao Zhao took out a flare gun and fired two flares, the dazzling white light illuminated the entire palace, and on the dome overhead, dotted with dotted gems, reflecting the crystal luster, flashing and flashing, just like the vast stars in the sky.
Looking at this "starry sky", listening to the sound of water in the coffin river, and blowing a cool breeze blowing from nowhere, for a moment, I actually had a feeling of being outside.
On one side of the tomb, there is a river to protect the coffin, I don't know if it is the same river as the Blood Sand Temple.
Amazingly, in the outer layer of the coffin river, there was another river, or rather a trench dug out by hand, which was attached to the wall, and there was no water in it, but it was filled with an agar translucent solid, which resembled a large piece of amber.
And that wall, which is not an ordinary wall, is covered with ravines that I think have been carved, and these ravines are filled with the solid in the trenches, which seems to be disorganized, but in fact there is a little pattern to speak of, and I feel a little familiar to me.
But what really shocked me was the behemoth in the underground palace, which turned out to be a white jade platform, exactly the same as the one we saw before.
I remember that when I saw the white jade platform before, I had such a feeling, this thing is a unique miracle in the world that cannot be replicated, and now I take back this sentence, because the second one is in front of my eyes.
I kind of understand that in this place, don't make up your mind about anything, or you'll be slapped in the face every minute.
In the sky above this white jade platform, a spherical object is hung with an iron chain, and I don't know what it is.
"Lao Zhao, you said that this tomb owner is also a loser, where did you get so many pearls and gems?" Xiao Zhang sighed.
"Look at it clearly, it's not a pearl, it's a fisheye." Lao Zhao hated iron for not becoming steel, "I've been messing with Zhao Ye for so long, and I don't have any eyesight." ”
There is an idiom called "fish eyes mixed pearls", I used to be Baidu, and it was said that there was a person called Full Wish, who inadvertently got a big pearl, and many people envied him.
The neighbor Shouliang is very jealous of others, and he discusses with envy that he wants to have a big pearl, and he also wants to have it. Once, Shouliang found a big fish eye on the road, so he mistook it for a pearl and picked it up. Then go outside and make a big splash.
Later, the two of them contracted the same disease, which needed to be cured with pearl powder and medicinal herbs. Shou Liang took out the so-called "pearl", and when everyone looked at it, they all sarcastically mocked Shou Liang: "You are really a fish-eyed pearl"!
But this statement is not reasonable at all when you think about it carefully, not to mention who is idle and throws the fish eyes on the ground and lets him pick them up, what the fish eyes look like, what the pearls look like, you can see it at a glance, and the touch in your hand is not the same, unless this longevity is a complete brain-dead, otherwise you will never be able to do such a thing.
Therefore, the "fish eye" mentioned here should be the "fish eye stone", that is, the fish eye stone.
I looked up and shone a flashlight, it really looked like a pearl.
"Do you see the ditch outside the coffin river, it is whale oil inside, which can be ignited directly," Lao Zhao said, throwing the torch into the ditch, and a circle of grease near the torch quickly melted and was ignited.
The fire spread rapidly, and the grease in the entire trench burned up, and it was magnificent, like a sea of fire.
Then, like a nimble little snake, the flames snaked up the lines of the wall, gradually covering the entire wall, and then swam along a groove in the dome, touching the spherical object hanging above the jade platform.
It was like lighting a firecracker, "Peng" exploded, and a fireball exploded in mid-air, like a small sun that suddenly appeared, and the light of the flame illuminated the entire dungeon, we were all stunned, and then there was a burst of regret, why didn't I record it with my mobile phone just now, such a stunning and shocking scene, I may not be able to see it for the second time in this life.
I looked up and saw that under the light of the flames, the jewels on the dome were shining, and one of the night pearls was very huge, like a bright moon in the sky, such a scene reminded me of when I was a child, lying on the grass with Xiao Zhang, looking up at the vast and bright starry sky.
In this cold underground palace that no one has cared about for thousands of years, there is such a strange scene hidden, and perhaps the craftsmen who designed these in the first place would not have imagined that in two or three thousand years, someone would activate them.
Thinking of this, my heart is a little sad, who knows how many such miracles are slowly rotting in this cold and gloomy underground, which are slowly rotting in the flow of time.
After some emotion, I turned my head and found that Lao Zhao was staring at the wall of fire in a daze, and following his gaze, I suddenly let out an exclamation, "This is not, isn't this a map of China?!" ”
I said how do you look so familiar, the picture of the interweaving of the lines of this wall of fire turned out to be a map of the mountains and rivers of ancient China, Kunlun, Taihang, Wuyi, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River...... There is even Python Mountain, the trend of mountains and rivers in ancient China, which was actually displayed in front of me in such a way.
Moreover, on this map of mountains and rivers, there are several fireballs burning, distributed all over the country, the size of a fist, very eye-catching, you can see the difference from other places at a glance, and the python mountain where we are located is under the mark of this fireball.
Here are the coordinates!
Lao Zhao stabbed me with his elbow, I immediately took out my mobile phone, directly turned on the continuous shooting mode, and took thirty or forty photos in a row.
"Let's go," Lao Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and patted me and Xiao Zhang's shoulders with his hand, who were still stunned, "What are you still doing here, if you don't reveal the secret, the secret won't come to you by itself." ”
As soon as the two of us heard this, we immediately followed him and ran towards Baiyutai.
At the bottom of the white jade platform, the gossip pattern was also placed with obsidian, Xiao Zhang and I couldn't understand it, so we chose to ignore it directly, and were about to rush to the top of the jade platform, but saw Lao Zhao staring at the gossip array on the ground in a daze, so he stopped and looked at him with an inquiring gaze.
"This gossip array seems to be a little wrong!" Lao Zhao scratched his head and held back such a sentence for a long time.
"You all know that in order to prevent theft, the owner of the tomb can be said to do everything, deliberately using vicious methods to cultivate some corpse babies and other things," seeing that we were silent, Lao Zhao explained, "These things are irrational, what will happen if they are not kept together, in order to prevent them from destroying the remains of the tomb owner, the feng shui masters will put a circle of gossip arrays around the coffin, with this layer of gossip arrays in the way, they naturally can't enter." ”
I was very puzzled with Xiao Zhang, what did he say this for?
"But......" Lao Zhao frowned, "This layer of gossip array is reversed, it's like, it's like trapping something inside and preventing him from coming out." ”
"This ......" I felt a tingling in my scalp, and suddenly remembered the words of the old Taoist priest.
He's alive, he's not dead.
Don't go to that place, it's a mound!
Could it be that this is really a demon mound, and there is a monster buried in this tomb?
I was stunned here, Lao Zhao and Xiao Zhang had already taken the lead in walking on the jade platform, and I took three steps to catch up.
The further we went, the stronger the chill became, and at the top, although there was a fireball roasting and a tarp wrapped around us, we were still shivering from the cold, and we were almost all sticks.
At the top of the white jade platform, there is a pavilion, the whole body is carved with white jade, connected with this platform, wrapped tightly by a green gauze tent, we can't see the things inside, we can only vaguely see that there is a huge rectangular object, not a coffin or what?
Lao Zhao glanced at me, held the gun, aimed at the green gauze tent, I picked up the bronze sword, directly chopped the tent into pieces, Xiao Zhang ran over happily, picked up the night pearl embellished in the four corners of the tent, and stuffed it into the bag.
After making sure that there was no danger, Lao Zhao walked in first, and we followed.
This is a green jade coffin, it is the one we just saw on the mural, Lao Zhao said that this is a cold jade mined from the extreme north under the ice layer of 10,000 years, it is extremely cold all year round, when we arrived, this cold jade coffin was still bubbling out with a visible cold.
We built a fire on this jade platform so that it would not freeze, and the three of them did not speak while roasting the fire, staring at the cold jade coffin, which can be said to have their own thoughts.
"Lao Zhao, this place has also arrived, what is that good thing, you should tell us." I spoke slowly, breaking the silence, and said in my heart that I had been holding back this question all the way, and I was about to vomit blood. Lao Zhao is perfunctory to me this time. I'm sure I can't help but strangle him to death.
"Everything is in the coffin," Lao Zhao still didn't answer my question directly, but squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Lift the coffin!" ”
