Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 82: The Bronze Hanging Coffin (II)

When Lao Jin and I looked up at the bronze hanging coffin at the bottom, Professor Ouyang was not idle, and he was holding a wolf-eyed flashlight to watch with the two of us, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to study archaeology, and he missed a great opportunity that no longer exists, how could he not study it? What's more, the contract only says that Captain Touching Jin will open the coffin alone, and Captain Stygian will stop it alone, and there is no rule that others are not allowed to participate in the research.

Lao Jin saw that Professor Ouyang was studying together and did not say anything to stop him, he knew in his heart that Professor Ouyang was actually an archaeological expert and could naturally help, and the rest of the people saw that Professor Ouyang joined the research together, and they also rushed up, and expressed their opinions one after another, and the second Hanzi who was responsible for taking care of the candle was also moved when he saw this, and couldn't help but want to participate in the research together, but when he just left the arched palms from the candle, the flame of the candle shook with the wind, flickering and flickering, Lao Jin's face changed at the moment, and he exclaimed, "Erhanzi, look good about the candle, Beware of ghosts blowing out lights. Helplessly, the second son obediently went back again, arched his palms, and carefully protected him, but he looked anxious.

When we looked up at the bottom of the cave, we accidentally found that the bottom of each bronze hanging coffin was engraved with strange totems, and the strange shape of the totem was no longer within our understanding.

The fat man said, "These seven bronze hanging coffins are so strangely placed, could it be based on what star they are?" For example, the Big Dipper or something, don't you think it has exactly seven bodies? ”

Professor Ouyang was silent, just shook his head, looked at it again, and said, "I don't think it looks like it, I have seen the seven-star coffin, about 08 years, I found an ancient tomb in Guangyuan Village, Siyang Town, Shangsi County, Guangxi, and found a thing wrapped tightly with "Sanhe soil", after digging off the soil, it was found that there was a huge coffin inside, all made of black camphor wood, what is the coffin so huge? With all kinds of questions, we pried open the lid of the coffin, but found that there was still a black camphor coffin, so the coffin lid was pried open, and it was the same coffin, as a result, we pry seven coffins in a row, until the seventh black camphor coffin did not see the true face of the tomb owner, and the different positions of the seven coffin lids are inlaid with a copper plate, after a calculation, only to find that the copper plate is the layout of the Big Dipper, the original tomb owner believes in the rumors of ascending to heaven after death, and turning into a god, I listened to the Taoist seven-star coffin at that time to go down to the tomb, so I said that this should not be. ”

After hearing this, the fat man said, "Could it be that the Big Dipper burial method used by Fan Manqi is different from others?" ”

The professor replied, "I don't think it's likely. ”

At this time, the ghost also spoke, and he shone a wolf-eye flashlight on one of the bronze hanging coffins, saying, "Huh! Do you think the totem of this lower mask bronze coffin looks like some kind of animal? It's just that the long ones are weird. ”

Hearing this, I looked at the bottom of the coffin seriously, because of the distance, so the bottom of the higher bronze hanging coffin is not very clear, but closer to us can still see seven or eight points, the seventh bronze hanging coffin carved totem at first glance is just a flower carving circle, but in fact, there is another mystery when you take a serious look, it is carved is a bent beast, this monster is very fat, round, faceless, four-legged stubby, a pair of back wings, how can there be such a monster in the world today? I'm afraid it's a certain thing of faith that Fan Manchi's demon lord needs to worship when he descends to Gu and casts evil.

Look at the bottom of the sixth bronze hanging coffin carved is only like a carving but not a carving beast, it has a beak of an eagle, but it also gives birth to a tiger and leopard face, head antlers, body like a jackal, and a body of carved hair, look at it lying cross-legged, it is really not weird and gloomy.

"This is Chaos and Gu Eagle!" I could see that God suddenly flashed in my mind the fierce beast in the manuscript of the Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts, and I couldn't help but blurt out.

"Mixed ...... Chaos!? The fat man was a little surprised, "What kind of chaos is it?" ”

Professor Ouyang walked around the world, and naturally knew that we had a snack in Quanzhou, called Chaos, and when he heard the fat man's words, he couldn't help but smile, "Fat man!" You can't eat this chaos, it eats you almost, this is one of the four fierce beasts in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". ”

Fat Man: "Oh! sighed, and said, "What is this demon king carving this thing for?" ”

Professor Ouyang said, "This has to be understood from his past, but the Ba people are originally a mysterious country, and the records of its information can be called as few as morning stars, and they are rare, not to mention that this Fan Barbarian is still a reckless king, and there is basically no record in history." ”

When Professor Ouyang was talking here, Lao Jin, who was listening to him, suddenly said, "Didn't the student above already talk about this Fan Man's past just now, why don't you say you don't know now?" As he spoke, he also pointed to Xiao Kai who was still on the bronze hanging coffin, but as soon as his voice fell, he reacted that he had been deceived, and his eyes immediately ignited with anger, and he stretched out his hand and scolded Xiao Kai on the bronze hanging coffin, "I am an ancestor of the board, melon baby, dare to deceive Lao Tzu, you give it down to me, I have to kill you." ”

Xiao Kai on the bronze hanging coffin didn't pay attention to Lao Jin at all, just concentrated on looking at the copper wall of the straight hole, Lao Jin scolded a few times, seeing that he didn't react, he was about to go up and do it, but was stopped by me and the fat man, at this time Xiao Kai shouted in shock, "Professor, Brother Wu Nian, come and see, come and see!" ”

Listening to his tone, it seemed that he had found something, so several of us scrambled to climb up to the vicinity not far from Xiao Kai, and I stood on the same coffin as him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Kaiying: "There are wall carvings on this copper wall!" Then the professor was surprised and said, "I have one on my side." ”

Before, when I just fell, I saw the bronze hanging coffin at the top of the wall carving of "Shen Teng", I didn't pay attention to the following, thinking that all the wall carvings were "Shen Teng" and didn't care, but I didn't expect this copper wall carving from the sixth body downward, carved are some dense, telling some deeds of Fan Manchi before his death.

I took a few looks, and was startled, the story told on it was almost the same as Xiao Kai's previous nonsense, no wonder Xiao Kai would be frightened, showing a look of fear, if it were me, I would inevitably be scared, this Fan Barbarian is famous for witchcraft, Xiao Kai made up his deeds, no one can say whether there will be any origin or curse or something!

Professor Ouyang exclaimed, immediately called me, and he interpreted all the contents of the wall carving together, although the others did not understand too well, but also tried their best to jump up and down with us to interpret piece by piece, Lao Jin is naturally no exception, he is more anxious than anyone else which of the seven bronze hanging coffins is the true body of the tomb owner Fan Manchi.

Everyone present participated, except for Erhanzi and Dachangtong, Erhanzi wanted to come, but as soon as he left, the candle seemed to be deliberately playing with him, flickering and flickering, this back and forth he tried twice to do so, and finally let Lao Jin scold him back, so he had to obediently protect the candle, and as for Dachangtong, he was sneakily looking for the bottom of the cave, wanting to take the sheep and take away some of the dead weapons, so that he could go out to get money and repay his loan shark who killed him.

Just when he just stuffed something he didn't know what it was into his backpack, he accidentally let Professor Ouyang see it, and the professor immediately shouted, "Tong!" What are you doing? Put it back, these are all cultural relics, do you want to steal cultural relics? You're sinning, you know? ”

"Hee-hee!" Dachangtong was embarrassed, and hurriedly explained with an excuse: "Professor, you misunderstood, I just picked it up and took a look with a heart of study and research." As he spoke, he smirked twice, "Just take a look!" Look! You see, I'm going to put it back. With that, he put back what he was holding in front of everyone.

After an hour-long reading, Professor Ouyang, I, and the rest of the staff brainstormed and finally unraveled all the wall carvings.

It turned out that Xiao Kai really made up a small part of the truth, in ancient times, the ancestor of the Tujia family, Ba Wuxiang, was pushed to be the chief of the five surnamed tribes, called "Di Jun". Di Jun really has a lifetime of friends, is this called Fan Manchi, Fan Manchi is the left and right arms of Di Jun, to help assist the great cause, but because Fan Manchi is aggressive, violent and wanton, and then was expelled from the country of Ba by Di Jun, exiled to a remote mountainous area in present-day Guizhou, and met a Miao girl there, this Miao girl is actually a ghost grass woman, good at Gu insect cultivation and evil arts, Fan Manchi wants to take revenge on Di Jun, so he is dedicated to cultivating evil and practicing Gu, at the moment for decades, Fan Manchi returned to Wuluo Zhongli Mountain (now Changyang Mountain, Hubei) to find revenge for Di Jun, but unfortunately the academic is not refined, He also almost died under the bronze sword of the tiger head of the emperor, after Fan Manchi fled to Dachang, Wushan, Sichuan, he realized that if he wanted to defeat the emperor, he must have his own power and kingdom, so he drafted the king in this place, with his own poison technique, soon became the emperor of the reckless, and set up his own Tianzun, from the drum and banner array, and again raised troops to fight against Zhong Lishan, but the army was strong and strong, and his clansmen were all brave and good at fighting, Fan Manchi was naturally invincible, and after the defeat of the mountain, he ran back to Dachang in disgrace, In the following years, the power of Ba Shi Lijun gradually developed, and he led the five surnames to develop westward along Yishui (now Qingjiang), to Yanyang (now Yanjing Temple), shot and conquered the Yanyang female tribe, and then expanded to the east of Sichuan, controlled this area, and developed into a Ba clan in the era of Lijun.

This feather and great deeds were introduced to the ears of Fan Man, he knew that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, so he built a stone city in the local stone city to set up a sacrifice platform to capture the people and slaves with Gu poison, tempering his own demon Gu army, Fan Manqi believed in the virtual space (commonly known as the black hole), he believed that the virtual space is a channel for communication with the demon Gu army, and the method of opening the virtual space requires two peerless treasures, one is the ancient Miao rumored Immortal Totem, and the other is the Nuwa Stone left in the Buzhou Mountain (now the Pamir Plateau).

Fan Manqi believed that there were six gates guarding the void space, and these six gates were guarded by the six fierce beasts, each of which was Gu Eagle, Han Zhu, Chaos, Gluttony, Kui and Xu.

After Professor Ouyang said this, he looked at the seven bronze hanging coffins above his head with a solemn expression, and then said, "The two bronze coffins at the bottom are each engraved with Gu carving and chaos. At this point, he couldn't help but be excited, "That's right, that's right!" According to the inscription on the bronze wall, after the death of Fan Manchi, he should wear a human skin coat made of the skin of a hundred slaves, with a Nuwa stone in his mouth, and then a mask with a dark totem, and then buried with a bronze coffin with a sculpture of Gu carving, Hanqi, chaos, gluttony, kui and Xu, buried together, so that he can rise to the void space after death and recruit the demon Gu army. ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show fear on their faces, and no one knew what the "Demon Gu Army" said on the bronze wall. Could it be real? At this time, I suddenly heard Lan Xin say, "Seven bronze hanging coffins are circling up, just like the Ming Teng totem, all of them are circling, and the bronze plate around the top bronze hanging coffin is engraved with the carving of Shen Teng, which represents the leading to the virtual space, does that mean that the top one is the real body of Fan Man, you just imagine, Gu carving, Han Qi, chaos, gluttony, Kui and the coffin of the six fierce beasts below, and the coffin of Fan Manqi is the top, and the surrounding is the totem of Shen Teng, Does that mean that Fan Manqi has rushed through the six gates of the imaginary space and entered the so-called imaginary space? ”

"It makes sense, but there is one thing I can't figure out, why did the devil Fan Manchi engrave these on the copper wall? Isn't this tantamount to telling others about the coffin he is in, and letting others steal his funeral goods? As soon as I finished speaking, the fat man shouted, "Grass! Lao Jin climbed up, Wang, if you don't stop him, your fight has begun. ”

It turned out that Lao Jin secretly took the lead when I raised questions, and wanted to take the lead and open the bronze hanging coffin at the top.

How can I let him succeed, not to mention that he is here to rob the tomb, just to say that I think there are many suspicions in this, I am afraid that there is a cha, maybe it is a trap arranged by Fan Manchi.

At this time, Lao Jin has climbed to the fourth bronze hanging coffin, is crawling to the third body, I am a run, three kicks on the copper wall, the body jumps upward, a sharp turn has come to the sixth bronze hanging coffin, one breath climbed two, although I have a fear of heights, but as long as I don't look down, it is naturally no problem.

After arriving at the sixth body, I didn't stop, jumped up, grabbed the chain of the fifth bronze hanging coffin with both hands, and then hung an upside-down golden hook, threw both feet up, a gymnastic action stood on the iron chain of the fifth bronze hanging coffin, and randomly used the power of the iron chain to rebound, jumped to the copper wall on a foot, and then turned around, has come to the fourth bronze hanging coffin, has practiced martial arts and parkour is this benefit, body coordination is stronger than the average person, on the wall kick high is also as light as a swallow, Within two minutes, I had already rushed to the same bronze hanging coffin as Lao Jin, and then Lao Jin glanced at the coffin of the first one in the second bronze hanging coffin, and muttered to himself, "Sure enough, it is engraved with a bronze mask, hehe!" The hard work pays off, and I have taken the Nuwa Stone. ”

"As I expected, I really came to steal the Nuwa Stone." When I said secretly in my heart, Lao Jin had already jumped up and stretched out to grab the edge of the first bronze hanging coffin, saying that it was too late, and then it was too fast, I immediately made a decision, stretched out my arm, and before he could grab it, I pulled Lao Jin back to the second bronze hanging coffin.
