Chapter 129: The Everlasting Lamp
cpa300_4(); This is a sarcophagus carved directly from the ground, which is smaller than the smallest coffin with bronze locks hanging in mid-air.
It's weird, if the nine wooden coffins above are to suppress the possible corpse transformation in the middle of the blood coffin, then what is the coffin in front of everyone?
"Could it be the descendants of the owner of the tomb, for example, the owner of the tomb who loves his children who died young? Ascended to heaven with the owner of the tomb! Jiang Yan looked at Wu Ze and said.
"It's still possible, but maybe it's the beloved pet of the tomb owner before he died!" Wu Ze nodded.
Because this sarcophagus is so small, if it is an adult, it is basically impossible to fit in, unless there is a strange funeral method in some areas in ancient times, generally the deceased are buried in the soil or underground, but in some places there are hanging coffins hanging in caves on the cliff wall.
Or in some places, the deceased is folded whole, the limbs are cut off and placed on the head, etc.
"Why don't you open the coffin and take a look, just start with this small coffin?" Luo Fatzi suggested on the side.
Wu Ze nodded, and agreed to Luo Fatzi's proposal, come and come, the escape of Tianmen will not be found for a while, if you explore the secret of this evil ghost cemetery first, see if you can find some clues.
"But if we want to open the coffin, we still have to follow the way of touching the golden vein!" As he spoke, he extinguished the torch he was holding.
Luo Fatzi understood immediately when he heard Wu Ze do this, took out a few candles from his backpack, and put them directly in the corner of the upper right corner of the sarcophagus, and then lit the candles.
After Wu Ze saw that the candlelight illuminated a corner of the tomb, he looked at the small sarcophagus in front of him, and then at the blood coffin hanging in mid-air, and a bright light seemed to suddenly flash in his mind.
Could these coffins be misunderstood, and they weren't used to suppress any blood coffins at all?
Hey! What about the fat man?
"Shh At this time, Jiang Yan suddenly whispered: "There seems to be a voice coming out of the coffin!" ”
No, on the opposite tomb wall, why is there suddenly some bright light? Phosphorescent ghost fire again?
At this time, Wu Ze heard that the blood coffin seemed to shake suddenly, and strings of bronze locks rubbed against each other, making a slight metal collision sound.
"This ...... What are these! Alice grabbed Michiko's hand tightly, her face full of panic before, the strange things in the Eastern cemetery, this trip to the underground cave, she has experienced it all.
"Fatty, where are you, get out of here!"
As soon as Wu Ze's voice fell, he saw Luo Fatzi crawling out from another corner and said, "Brother Ze, aren't we going to open the coffin?" Look at what I've found, taken out from under the sarcophagus! ”
Luo Fatzi handed over a rusty bronze token in his hand to Wu Ze's hand, this token looks about the size of his palm, and it is also engraved with some mysterious rune spells, is there something in this coffin that cannot be suppressed?
"Where did you come from, put it back quickly, don't easily move the things inside, and it will be troublesome to come out with something that you don't have!" Wu Ze sighed and said, Damn, no one looked at this guy accidentally, and his hands couldn't help but move.
"This thing isn't that scary, it's just a broken brand, I'm curious to take it down for you to see!" Luo Fatzi said with an unconvinced face.
"Look at the tomb wall over there!"
Luo Fatzi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw those faint blue lights, and was stunned, and said: "I obviously lit the candle on the ground, why is there a fire on the wall, it can't be a ghost fire......
The tomb wall lit with ghost fire was some distance away from everyone, Wu Ze took Jiang Yan and them a few steps forward, and the strong flashlight in their hands shone on the past, only to find that everyone's attention was focused on which coffins were hung before, as well as on the coffins, but they didn't find that there was something strange on this tomb wall.
The first thing that caught Wu Ze's eyes was a monster's head with layers of scales on it, its face was dark but its lips were red, and its mouth was open, with a red tongue and two rows of sharp teeth inside.
Those dark blue ghost fires really came out of the mouth of this evil ghost's face.
After Jiang Yan and the others saw the ghostly face, they were nervous, and instantly raised the gun in their hands, aiming at the tomb wall and pulling the trigger.
"Don't worry, this is a dead monster, a severed head, and it shouldn't be a threat to us...... Maybe it's the same as the legendary East China Sea merman cemetery everlasting lamp, which was used in the tomb for the immortal lamp on the spot! ”
"Ever-bright lights?" Michiko didn't seem to understand, and asked with some curiosity.
Without waiting for Wu Ze to speak, Jiang Yan thought about it and slowly introduced.
The ever-bright lantern is not only a light that has appeared in the land of China, but also it is said that during the Eastern Roman Empire, an ever-bright lamp was found in a temple in today's Syria, according to the inscription in the temple, this lamp has been lit for 500 years, which is comparable to the span of Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain.
In England, King Henry VIII discovered the tomb of the father of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great under a church in present-day Yorkshire.
After hearing Jiang Yan's introduction to the situation abroad, Wu Ze nodded and talked about what he knew.
The record of the Changming lamp in the land of China is earlier than that of foreign countries, and the "Historical Records of the First Emperor of Qin" wrote: The first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, wore the Lishan Mountain, and the world, and the world sent more than 700,000 people, wore three springs, and went down to the copper to the coffin, and the palace was full of strange and strange artifacts. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and shoot those who are close. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time.
With "mermaid paste" as a candle, it can be extinguished for a long time, if so, the mausoleum of the first emperor is also brightly lit all year round, so it is not lively.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the South of the Sea" mentions a "Di Ren Country", saying: "The Di Ren Country is in Jianmuxi, which is a fish body with a face for everyone, and no feet. "Sou Shen Ji" records the "shark people": "Beyond the South China Sea, there are shark people", water dwellings, such as fish, do not waste weaving achievements. His eyes, weeping, can produce pearls. ”
Therefore, it is very likely that the head of this monster on the tomb wall was cut off and hung on it as an everlasting lamp, but I don't know why, but now it suddenly lights up.
Was it because of those candles lit by Fat Luo, or because of the rusty bronze token?
I didn't think of the legendary ever-bright lantern, but now I actually encountered it, Wu Ze and the others stepped forward with some curiosity, and only then did they see clearly, it turned out that it was not just the head, but the one that was nailed into the wall was a body similar to ********a woman, but the heads were all this kind of dried corpses with scales, there were nine in total, and each of them spit out dark blue fire from its mouth.
