Chapter 32: The Cloud Treasure Palace

In ancient times, the customs of burying the dead were different, some people hoped that the corpse would be liberated after death, but between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin and Han dynasties, they also advocated keeping the face of the deceased as if they were alive, and the methods of retaining the remains were in different forms.

There are almost no taboos in unloading the corpse to take the pearl and jade, and all kinds of methods are used to the extreme, which is also related to the tradition left by the Red Eyebrow Army back then, when the Red Eyebrow Uprising, stole all over the tomb of the Han Emperor, and destroyed the corpses of the ancestors of the people in power, it is a way to boost morale in the peasant rebel army, the rebellious army, who cares how the corpses in the ancient tombs were noble, even if there is no clear weapon in the corpses, they still want to be harmed, or burned or dismembered, the means are particularly cruel, and they seem to have a blood feud with those noble tomb owners.

Therefore, Chen's blind subordinates still use these methods and rules that have been left in the early years, which is due to their methods, and there is no special significance in the Republic of China, but this method is extremely cruel, and it is also very difficult to see the partridge whistle of the mountain mover, and the means of moving the mountain and fighting are completely different from touching the gold and unloading the mountain.

I saw that the Danjing of the fairy palace was a mess, the coffin of the corpse was broken, the rotten liquid mercury sand was everywhere, all of them were the harsh sound of the knife and axe cutting the coffin and cutting the bones, the group of thieves had already let go of their hands and feet, hung the ancient corpse upside down on the bronze incense burner, first stripped off the clothes, and then controlled the poison such as putrid liquid mercury in the corpse cavity, and then disemboweled the ancient corpse, until it was confirmed that there was nothing of value in the corpse, then the broken corpse was packed into a bamboo basket, carried by the sappers to the outside of the well, and the coffin of the corpse in the danjing was carried out one after another. The whole picture of the bottom of the well gradually emerged, Chen Blind and Partridge Whistle looked at it through the chaotic lights, and saw that the uneven stone slabs at the bottom of the well were extremely unusual, which seemed to be two vague human-shaped reliefs, and their hearts immediately struck, and the two looked at each other: "In addition to the corpses in this Danjing...... Could it be that ghosts are still used to make Dantou? ”

Chen Blind took the group of thieves to destroy the coffin and destroy the corpse in the Danjing, what is the taboo in the netherworld? One by one, they were bold and sideways, just doing their best, seeing that the ancient corpses and old coffins were destroyed, but they saw a relief on the stone slab at the bottom of the well, which was actually a powerful ghost image emitted by two batches.

Although the shape is blurred, you can still see that the face is hideous, like "Shura, medicine fork", and what is even more strange is that these two ghosts are eyeless, and there is only a dark hole in their eyes.

Chen Blind Man and Partridge Whistle have seen a lot of things, but they have never seen any purposeless blind ghosts in the world, and when they saw this strange ghost carved at the bottom of the well, they were suspicious in their hearts, and they really didn't know what kind of fame they had?

Since ancient times, there have been zombies in the world to burn the Yin Pill, but there is no ghost alchemy head, the Bottle Mountain Dan Palace seems to be the fairy Yaotai of Qionglou Yuyu, but the corpses dug up from all over the world are hidden inside, specializing in some evil arts on the side of the door and the left way, which cannot be measured by common sense, and it seems that the tomb of the general of the Yuan Dynasty is not located in the main hall of the Dan Palace, and what mystery will be hidden in the stone gate of the ghost carved at the bottom of the well?

Blind Chen's eyes rolled twice, and he asked his subordinates to take the cave barbarian guide to the Danjing, and asked him if there was a haunted legend in Bottle Mountain? The cave barbarian shook his head again and again and waved his hand: "I want to teach you heroes to know that our bottle mountain has always been rumored to be harmed by ancient zombies, but I have never heard of a haunted ......."

Chen Blind nodded after hearing this, it's good if there are no ghosts, they all say that there is a treasure well for Emperor Daojun to worship immortals in Bottle Mountain, could it be that it is here? Probably after the Yuan army occupied the bottle mountain, they did not find that there would be such a hidden place under the pile of bones at the bottom of the well, so they said to the partridge whistle: "Eighty percent of the secret room at the bottom of the well is a treasure cave, look at this scene, it seems that it has not been swept away by the Yuan soldiers, the emperor Lao'er uses corpse oil to refine Dan, heaven does not allow it, the treasures in the Dan Palace, our brothers can plan it." ”

Partridge Whistle has refound two German made, he broke two companions in vain, his heart can't help but bear a wave of evil fire, is trying to dig through this fairy palace, heard Chen Blind's words, then immediately nodded and said: "Now there are hundreds of live chickens left, the rooster's rooster crowing chicken blood is the most evil to ward off evil, even if there are evil and poisonous things in the secret room, don't worry, we should not hesitate to take risks, exhaustive to discuss the strange deeds." ”

So Chen Blind immediately ordered his subordinates to pry open the stone door engraved with a ghost, the stone door was locked with copper outside the stone, the lock was the dog head lock of the Song Dynasty lock city, the lock teeth were closed like dog teeth, if there was no special key, there was no way to open it, but the group of thieves in the unloading ridge was "one force down ten will", one hundred and ten shovels, chisels, hammers and saws together, less than a cup of tea, the stone slab was pried open.

At the bottom of the well, a big hole is exposed, there is no lamp in it, it is completely dark, you can't see your five fingers, you can only hear the wind whistling below, it seems that the cave is very wide and deep, there are sappers who use a long rope to fall down the lantern to check, when everyone sees clearly, they are all taken aback, it turns out that the bottom of the well is a big laurel tree, supporting the shade, the branches and leaves are like a crown, growing very densely, I don't know how many miles to cover this.

This laurel tree grows at the bottom of the mountain by the corpse gas in the danjing, and the lush canopy is gloomy, and the group of thieves stands by the entrance of the cave and looks down, and they can feel the cool air in the tree, and a piece of chestnut comes out of the whole body.

Blind Chen felt more and more strange, why was this leafy old laurel tree at the bottom of the well locked by the stone gate? The cave space below is vast, and it does not look like a secret room with precious treasures, so he scolded and made his subordinates carry over the centipede hanging ladder and hang the laurel branch to go down to find out.

The group of thieves moved the bamboo ladder, each carrying chickens, birds, knives and guns, climbed down on the tree in the windy wind, the laurel tree in the hole at the bottom of the well is big, but it is not high, but the trunk is extremely thick, the tree is full of old bark with pimples, a thief touched the tree, felt a little strange as far as the reach of the tentacle, and carried a lantern on the bamboo ladder, frightened and almost turned over and fell, thanks to being dragged by the partridge whistle.

The partridge whistle also illuminated the trunk of the tree with a horse lamp, and the concave and convex places on the original tree body generated the shape of a person's head and face, and the eyebrows, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were vaguely distinguishable, and they were all with facial features, which were extremely similar to the human face, but the expressions on the faces of the tree people seemed to be crying and howling, and the faces were distorted and terrifying.

The partridge whistle gasped a breath of cold air, the laurel tree is yin by nature, there are many corpses buried in the danjing, and the corpse gas inside is sucked into the body of the tree, and the knife is cut on the tree, and the tree is bleeding, that is, I want to break my head, and I can't guess why there is such a big laurel tree that absorbs the corpse gas in the fairy palace of alchemy, this should be a "corpse cinnamon", the same as the "ghost elm", are rare and ominous things in the grass and trees, legend has it that this tree is the passage of the two worlds of yin and yang, and the bottle mountain dan palace is full of weirdness, He didn't know where the real underground palace was hidden, but when he thought of it, he secretly became vigilant.

Chen Blind also felt the same way, he and Partridge Whistle led the crowd to climb to the root of the tree, holding a lantern torch to shine around, only to see that the roots of the tree were rooted in the stone, and there was no damp breath in the hole, but it was cool and penetrating to the bones, and the dangui all grew by the yin qi in the ancient corpse, and the branches of the tree were about to hang down to the ground.

And under the cover of the canopy, the smoke of incense is like a fantasy, around the laurel tree, there are four pavilions, the size of the pattern is the same, all are the two-storey building of "flying eaves covered with tiles, building Yuxuan window", at the bottom of the tree, I feel that the vulgar thoughts in the chest are washed, there is a sense of dust, not like the realm of the world.

But there is no light in the building, the whole pavilion is pitch black, even the tiles and window edges are jet black, this fairyland-like scenery coexists, and the gloomy atmosphere between the old laurel trees coexists, the strong contrast is extremely incongruous, the group of thieves look around under the tree, there is a feeling of being in danger, chestnut self-danger, and there is no need for Chen Blind to give an order, so he spontaneously formed a formation back to back, in case there will be a sudden accident.

Chen Blind and others have been ambushed by the mechanism in the bottle mountain frightened into frightened birds, seeing the four pavilions under the tree outside the carved railings and jade masonry, made extraordinarily exquisitely, can't help but get nervous, holding the rattan card slowly approaching, to get closer, the exquisite pavilion is still so black as if splashing ink, the whole body has no color, plus there is no lamp in the cave, it seems that the four pavilions seem to dissolve into the darkness.

The partridge whistle was bold, and had armor to protect himself, carried a lantern by himself, carried a mirror box, walked out of the group of thieves, and went to one of the buildings to check, but the pavilion was black, and there was a light to see it could not be real, and it could only be seen that there was a hazy trance in the clouds.

He had no choice but to poke the black building with "Made in Germany", and immediately there was a "poof" echo, as if it had hit the iron plate. ”

Partridge Whistle nodded, indeed the whole body is iron, no wonder there is no color of Biwa Zhu, he has never seen such a strange iron building, the iron doors and windows are exquisitely repaired, all are hollow ornaments, are the same as ordinary pavilions, you can open doors and windows, there are also houses in the building, but the whole is made of cast iron, exceptionally strong and strong, you can't see what is inside outside, the building should be closed organically, because I don't know where the news is, so I didn't dare to enter lightly for a while, turned my head and discussed a few words with Chen Blind.

Blind Chen turned his mind and said: "The iron tower is naturally not inhabited, seeing that this copper wall is so tight, and it is locked tightly, there must be some rare treasures hidden in it." "The tomb robbery is to seek wealth, and finding this treasure building is just like an old cat bumping into a fat mouse, how can you not be tempted?

Immediately ordered to go down, then sent a group of thieves, all of them with big shoulders and round waists, are good at unloading and demolishing the means of sturdy men, still with a pry saw to chisel the method, although there are a lot of people, but because they can't find the iron building machine, they have to waste a lot of effort to unload the iron door, the four eaves of the building are hidden in the kind of hidden weapons, but they have been out of rust and lost their effect, and did not cause much trouble to the group of thieves.

However, seeing that the iron building is equipped with a machine to take precautions, everyone is more sure that there will be treasures inside, and the iron door is pushed open in the sound of rust rubbing, and the group of thieves is doubly cautious, and first sends two people in to find out that there is no mechanism, and then more than ten people go in, carrying a horse lantern to find the hidden treasures in the Dan Palace.

The partridge whistle was curious, let Chen Blind answer outside the building, he himself carried a gun and a group of thieves into the iron building, raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that the first floor of the door is the main hall, even the ground inside is also paved with pig iron, there is a barefoot jade statue in the hall, it should be the medicine king in the fairy road, the statue is not high, only about two feet, but it is all shiny, immediately a few people stepped forward, and moved the medicine fairy jade statue from the table into the skin.

The partridge whistle looked at it in his eyes, thinking that the original iron building was the medicine king pavilion, and the place where the Dan medicine was hidden in the Dan Palace was also called the "Lu Pavilion", and the storage in the Lu Pavilion must be extremely precious medicinal materials, and the big laurel tree at the bottom of the well should be to absorb yin qi, so as to keep the Dan Pill Paste in the Lu Pavilion from deteriorating, he looked at it while walking, and turned around in the narrow iron room behind the hall.

The back room is filled with porcelain bottles and jade altars, some are very sealed, the medicinal properties of the sesame grass meat fungus are still the same, among them, there is a jade letter is the most conspicuous, there are painted lacquer paintings on it, all of them are the detailed patterns of pine crane fairy grass, the partridge whistle opens the cover, only to see that there are a number of grids in the letter, and there is a small gold medal on each grid, and the grid is a medicine stone of different shapes.

The partridge whistle carefully distinguished under the lamp, and saw that the gold medal was written with words such as "lion claw, spider treasure, snake eye, dog treasure, turtle treasure ......" and so on, all of which were all kinds of spiritual things of the inner pill and stones, which were all precious medicinal materials only in the Ouchi Palace, and even the smallest spider treasure in it was the size of a walnut and was in the shape of a black pill, which was a rare and rare elixir.

Most of the thieves are also knowledgeable, the equipment containing the medicine alone is extremely expensive and gorgeous, and the pill medicine stone inside is even more valuable, and everyone is very happy at the moment, and when they see the same, they take the same, unceremoniously, when they go to the second floor from the iron staircase, the fog gradually thickens, and the iron wall is black, and nothing is really seen in the dim light.

The partridge whistled with a gun and a lamp, walked in front first, just reached the second floor, raised his foot and opened the iron door, and suddenly saw a woman standing in the room with heavy makeup, the face was facing the house, and she did not move in the dark iron room, looking at the back as if she was a living person, but she could not feel the breath of a living person on her body.

What did the partridge whistle that robbed the tomb do with those eyes? As soon as the shadow of the lamp flickered, it was clear that the woman was actually dressed in the costume of the Ming people, she wore wooden bow shoes on her feet, and she was wearing four kinds of paddy field clothes made of fragmentary brocade, the style was somewhat like the Kasha worn by the monks, and she was wearing a set of armor, which was the popular paddy field clothes among women in the Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Shinong, industrial and commercial military and civilian people, etc., are forbidden to wear Hu clothes, the Ming Emperor edict to the world "the shape of the Tang Dynasty", the overall restoration of the Han clothing system, so the Ming Dynasty followed the use of the Shang and Zhou dynasties have a large placket right collar or round neck clothing, the Ming Dynasty women wear more "Xia Phi, than the armor, the back", there are also extremely strict requirements in the color of clothing, can only have purple, green, peach and other light colors, can not use any bright colors.

The ancient tombs of the Ming Dynasty have been stolen by no less than ten partridge whistles, so they naturally recognize the age of this dress at a glance, and their hearts are full of surprise? This iron building has been sealed since the Yuan Dynasty, the door is closed tightly, like an iron cage, I am afraid that even mice can't get in, how can a Ming Dynasty woman appear? How can she get into the building so that the bone reduction method will not work?

The Partridge Whistle led the group of thieves upstairs, but the woman just stood still with her back exposed, unaware of all the movement, like a wood carved clay sculpture, and wisps of mist flowed into the black iron window, and the hazy figure was like a ghost city phantom cloth.

The group of thieves crowded in front of the door and looked stunned, there were more tomb robbers and really bumped into a ghost, don't look at the usual digging graves and digging graves don't care, that's not really an evil thing, when I think of a real ghost, I can't help but turn my legs and stomachs, and want to turn around and run downstairs, but at this time my legs and feet don't seem to obey the call, and they are nailed in place like lead.

Regardless of the reactions of the others, Partridge Whistle stepped forward with a lantern and suddenly asked, "Is it a human or a ghost?" As he spoke, he raised his hand from behind to pat the shoulder of the woman in Ming Dynasty costumes, but unexpectedly, there was nothing in the tentacles.

Partridge Whistle saw a woman in bright clothes, standing motionless on the second floor of the iron pavilion, there was a layer of dust on the ground of the iron tower, and there were no footprints, it seemed that no one moved in hundreds of rooms, but what the hell? He snorted coldly in his heart, wanting to see what was strange about this woman, he took two steps forward, raised his hand and patted the woman's shoulder from behind, but when his hand fell, it was a void.

The partridge whistle fell into the air, and hurriedly dodged away, only to see that where the woman had been standing, suddenly a cloud of dust rose and drifted away in the narrow building.

The group of thieves thought it was poisonous, and quickly closed their breath, covering their mouths and noses to dodge, and the partridge whistle felt that the medicine was heavy from the moment he entered the iron tower, and he was afraid of hitting the poisonous smoke mechanism, and he had taken precautions in advance, but the woman was touched and immediately turned into a piece of dust, so thick that it was like a fog, and there was no abnormal breath in the fog-like dust.

The partridge whistle has a set of hands in the skin of the shark in his hand, and he copied it in the dust and fog in front of him, held up the lamp to distinguish carefully, and the gloves stained it were like scraps of paper, which were broken very slightly, leaving only some traces of the meridians in the paper, which should be a delicate paper-cutting person, who had been in the room for hundreds of years without moving, the paper tendons had already withered, and they were immediately turned into ashes when they were touched, and he was even more strange in his heart: "Could it be that this woman is not a human or a ghost, but a human form made of paper-cutting?" It's like a real person, and it's a real miracle, but since it's wearing bright clothes, why is it in this open-air room closed by pig iron? This era ......"

Partridge whistle in the bottle mountain even encountered a lot of strange things, with his naturalist also difficult to speculate in the end, in the two-story iron pavilion turned around, see no more abnormal, the doors and windows are tightly locked, it is really difficult to judge how the Ming Dynasty paper-cut people are placed in it, and even a little doubt is that their eyes are flowered, the heart is full of doubts, then turned back downstairs, to the laurel tree to see Chen blind, the open room encountered the things again.
