A Visitor to the Mountains Chapter 23 The Tomb Owner One or Two Things
I listened to the words of the yokai and suddenly sobered up.
"What baby?" The Eagles are also coming to the ground.
The three of us gathered around.
"It's a treasure box!"
The box was made of metal, and there were many patterns on it, and now it was bumpy and uneven by falling rocks, unrecognizable, and looked mysterious.
The monster quickly dug up the box, and it was only then that we realized that it was not a box, but a bronze tablet.
"It's not a box...... What the hell! The youkai said disappointedly.
Just when the monster was about to throw away the bronze medal, Tang Zhengcao shouted: "Don't move, there are words on it!" ”
He leaned over to take a closer look and excitedly said, "This is an epitaph!" ”
"Epitaph?"
When the eagle heard Tang Zhengcao say this, he also began to pay attention to this bronze tablet.
"Yes, it's all engraved in gold." Tang Zhengcao said as he read the text on the stele.
"Can you read Jin Wen?" Eagle asked.
"I can understand a little, but it's harder."
"What's written on this?" The eagle asked.
Tang Zhengcao took a closer look at Jin Wenzai on the bronze tablet, thought for a while, and then observed the murals in the tomb.
"How?" The eagle was a little anxious.
"The owner of the tomb is the twenty-third king of the Chiwu clan, named Yagumi." Tang Zhengcao said.
"The Red Wu Clan? What kind of country is this, I have never heard of it. Youkai said.
"The Chiwu Clan is a landlocked country that grows in the Kunlun Mountains. Judging from the content of the epitaph, this tomb should have been built during the period from the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the Zhou royal family was in turmoil of the collapse and relocation of the capital, and the control of the small northwest countries was minimal, as one of the small northwest countries, the Chiwu clan took this opportunity to get rid of the control of the Western Zhou Dynasty and gradually strengthened itself, becoming a powerful country in the surrounding area. This epitaph is mainly a record of the honor of the subgroup's conquest. However, at the end of the epitaph, there is a record of the death of the subgroup, which is very mythical. After the subgroup was old, he once met the dragon on the mountain while hunting, and the dragon told him that he would take him to immortality, and soon after returning from that hunting, the subgroup did not drink or eat, and soon left the world. ”
"No wonder, there are so many small people and big dragons painted on the murals in this tomb." After listening to Tang Zhengcao's explanation, I said.
"But judging from the design of the entire mausoleum and a variety of funerary goods, I'm afraid the ambitions of the subgroup are not only these, when I first arrived here, I saw a lot of bronzes on the ground, including eight bronze tripods, eight bronze tripods, if I am not wrong, in fact, there should be nine tripods and eight tripods in the tomb, at that time the nine tripods and eight tripods were the standard configuration of the tomb of the Son of Heaven, such as the Chiwu clan, a small princely country, at most can only use seven tripods and six tripods, but the nine tripods and eight tripods appeared in his tomb......" Tang Zhengcao analyzed.
"He doesn't want to be the Son of Heaven, does he?" The youkai asked.
"Quite possibly. However, in terms of blood, the Chiwu clan and the Zhou dynasty have the same ancestor, as mentioned in the ancient romance, during the period of the ancient prince of Zhou, in order to avoid war and friction, he married his eldest daughter to the king of the Chiwu clan who led the country at that time, so the Zhou royal family and the Chiwu clan came from the same clan. In the New Year of the Western Weekend, King Youyou of Zhou was promiscuous, and the dynasty was sluggish. It is estimated that the subgroup also saw the decline of the Zhou Dynasty to have this ambition. Tang Zhengcao said.
I looked at the bronze plaque on the ground, and suddenly I noticed that there was a strange inscription on the tablet, which looked very much like the Japanese katakana "ミュさ", and judging from its traces, it was completely carved by someone later.
"Look, here, it seems to be a Japanese word." I pointed to the mark.
"The Japanese have been here?!" The eagle looked at the mark and said in surprise.
"This mark looks new, and it should have been visited by someone in recent decades." Tang Zhengcao said.
"I'm also drunk, this ** little day has come originally, what else do you want to learn from Sun Wukong, stay here for a visit! I said, how many groups of people have been in this tomb? It's not a scenic spot sightseeing, and we can still catch a ball when we come! The youkai said indignantly.
"No, you have to think about it in a good place, if there are many batches of tomb robbers here, there will definitely be multiple robberies here!" I said calmly.
"You're right. All we have to do is find one of the thieves and we'll have a chance to get out! Tang Zhengcao also seems to see real hope.
In the next time, me, Tang Zhengcao, and Youkai carefully inspected the entire tomb over and over again. But the whole burial chamber seemed to be airtight, only the cracks caused by the collapse, and there were no traces of excavation.
As time passed, I felt that my body was getting lighter and lighter, as if it would float up at any time, the energy in my body was constantly draining, and there was no saliva in my mouth. I felt my mind in a trance, I even had auditory hallucinations in my ears, I felt the sound of water around me, the crisp clear flowing water.
The other two were in a similar state to me, both in a bit of a trance.
"Ye Feng, did you hear the sound of running water?" The youkai asked me with one eye open and one eye closed.
"Yes, you heard that, too? It seems to have come out of a coffin. I said.
"Yes, yes." He chimed in.
"Don, did you hear ah, the sound of water, the sound of water." I asked Don Zhengcao.
"Like...... It's a bit ...... Could it be a hallucinotoxin of spore plants? Tang Zhengcao said a little sluggishly.
"Inside the coffin, I heard it coming from the coffin. It's in the coffin, and there's water in the coffin. "The monster was on the edge of the coffin, rummaging through it.
"That's an illusion, there's no water in the coffin, the coffin ...... Wait a minute, there's a place we didn't look for! Tang Zhengcao suddenly became sober.
"Where?" I asked him.
"Waist pit!"
