Chapter 68: The Goddess of the Eagle Head (2)

Qin Beiyang picked up the miner's lamp and illuminated this underground palace, which was larger than all the tombs. In the middle lies a bronze coffin. There were many bronze fragments on the ground, the coffin lid had been blown open - the result of the use of gunpowder, there were many dead human bones lying around, not ancient martyrs, many remnants of braids and even cigarette bag poles, the accomplices of the skeleton in the tomb, ten or twenty years ago, the open flame carried gunpowder, dug up one of the entrances to this tomb, broke into the imposing underground palace, and at the same time as the coffin was blown up, it was attacked by the tomb beast of the eagle-headed goddess. The last fugitive was also killed in the tomb.

The sound of shakuhachi, lingering in his ears, Qin Beiyang hid in a place where the eagle-headed goddess could not see. The bronze coffin was so large in size that it contained two corpses.

One coffin and two corpses?

Hold your breath and be calm, so as not to attract the attention of the guardians of the dungeon. Judging from the shape of the pelvis illuminated by the miner's lamp, it should be a man and a woman. The lid of the coffin was damaged and decayed to the point of complete decay. But in the corner of the coffin, there are two Tang Sancai jars hidden, I don't know what they contain?

Qin Beiyang found the jade mourning book, the text was very clear, and he swept out the general meaning of the useless rhetorical rhetoric -

The king and queen of the Great Bohai Kingdom were buried in the tomb, and the queen gave birth to twin princes, who unfortunately died of puerperal fever, and the two little princes died young. The king and the queen were emotionally attached and decided not only to die in the same cave, but also to share the coffin, and to take with them the two young sons who died young.

I understand, in those two Tang San painted pottery pots, there are two little princes. It could be a skeleton or it could be ashes. And the reason why this eagle-headed goddess tomb beast is bare-chested and breast-bared is actually a lactating mother.

Hai Dongqing's soul does not come from the king, but from the queen.

Qin Beiyang boldly jumped into the bronze coffin, took out two clay pots, and placed them in front of the coffin.

Ayu's shakuhachi came to an abrupt end.

The "Goddess of Eagle Head" immediately reacted, and a strange light radiated from the eagle's eyes, directly passing over the nine colors, flapping a pair of wings, and landing in front of the bronze coffin. She picked up Tang San's painted pottery pot and put it on her chest, like a nursing mother.

Qin Beiyang whispered: "The tomb beast has a soul, and if it has a soul, it has feelings, her feelings are all in these two clay pots, and the child she died in her life is also the object of her sworn protection." ”

Ah Yu thoughtfully lifted the shakuhachi.

"Abu Kahkh!" Qin Beiyang said a strange name, "Back then, I lived in Jingxi Camel Village, and I often fought and played with the flag people and children in Xishan. They worship the goddess the eagle, just like this tomb beast, and they also carry two small children in their arms. ”

Legend has it that when the universe first opened, the earth was like a pack of ice, the mother eagle flew by the sun, light and fire packed into feathers, the ice and snow melted, and the creatures multiplied. The she-eagle nurtures all things in the world, including humans.

Eventually, the spirit of the eagle is transformed into a female shaman.

"I love this goddess of milk children."

Ah Yu holds shakuhachi in his hand, and he can't wait to play another song for the eagle-headed goddess.

"It is Haidongqing, also known as Xiongkulu, and it is the highest and fastest bird in the world. Legend has it that only one hundred thousand condors produce one Haidongqing. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that it is the nine phoenixes in the great wilderness of the prudent land. ”

Ah You bit Qin Beiyang's ear and said, "Brother, let's go quickly, don't disturb it." ”

However, the Nine Colors rushed towards the Haidong Qingzhen Tomb Beast. It got out of control, like a mad beast. The eagle-headed goddess sat cross-legged on the ground and breastfed the two clay pots, coldly watching the charge of the nine colors, and suddenly rolled up a pair of wings to block the first blow of the nine colors.

The young Kirin Town Tomb Beast spat out fireballs and burned the two clay pots under the eagle-headed goddess's breasts, and she lost her mind and discipline, exposing her entire chest and abdomen.

The nine-colored antlers took advantage of the void to enter, as if two sharp spears pierced the body of the tomb beast of Haidong Qingzhen.

"Don't."

Qin Beiyang rushed up to stop the violence of the Nine Colors, but to no avail, the bronze plate armor of the eagle-headed goddess shattered, revealing the heavy internal mechanisms, as well as the steaming spirit stones.

Like a hungry ghost, Jiu Se greedily cut open Hai Dongqing's chest, like a wild beast hunting cattle and sheep, and what he wants to eat most is his heart.

The young Qilin Town Tomb Beast devoured a spirit stone again.

Since it was buried in the grave in Paris, eaten the toxic chemicals of the poisoned forests, and brought back to life, it has become different from before, more cruel and bloodthirsty, like a greedy gluttony.

Nine Colors is like a crazy "Tomb Beast Hunter", and any Tomb Beast that falls into its hands will be devoured by the heart.

In addition to the original spirit stone of the nine colors, it has also eaten the three spirit stones of the Evil Dragon Town Tomb Beast of Dharma Mountain in the East China Sea, Yuan Shikai's Golden Toad Town Tomb Beast, and the Boy and Girl Town Tomb Beast of Xu Fu Digong in Japan, and now this is the fifth spirit stone in its body.

"It's not the same nine-color anymore."

Ah Youdu saw the clue, and Qin Beiyang bowed his head in shame: "My master is a failure." ”

He knelt down and kowtowed in front of the remains of the goddess eagle, and kowtowed to the bronze coffin to express his repentance to the owner of the tomb.

Qin Beiyang escaped from the underground palace with Ah You, and faced another winding tomb road.

"Where's Kogi?"

"It was he who opened the door of the tomb chamber and bumped into the tomb beast of Haidong Qingzhen. When Nine Colors and I resisted, this kid slipped away. He is an ancestral tomb robber, and he knows the doorway in the ancient tomb better than me, and I am afraid that he has found a way to escape...... Or they're locked up in a tomb again. ”

"Then let him die."

Before Ah You's words fell, the tomb road in front of him collapsed, and he couldn't return the same way.

Qin Beiyang was not in a hurry, he was more willing to stay in the ancient tomb for a while, he looked at the burden behind Ah You and said, "Ah You, you are also a graduate of the 'Heavenly Kingdom Academy', right?" I remembered that someone said a word to me - the tomb beast, passed on to the Shang and Zhou pre-Qin, the sex of the palace Shang Yin law, the wind and the silk bamboo. ”

"Brother, do you mean the way of music in the 'Underground Palace Road'? Yes, as long as you follow me up the mountain, the answer is self-explanatory. ”

Qin Beiyang was noncommittal: "Since music can restrain the tomb beast, why not use it to restrain the nine colors?" Why do you Assassins, when you see nine colors in the dark or in the graveyards, turn around and flee? ”

"Nine Colors is no ordinary tomb beast. Although, it is also the palace Shang sound rhythm, the wind is elegant and bamboo. But the strength of the nine-color aura is beyond the power of Gong Shangyin's law. ”

"It also makes sense, it has already eaten a lot of spirit stones."

Next, Qin Beiyang, Ah You, and Jiuse began to look for a way to escape. Between the labyrinthine passages of the tombs, he entered the chambers to examine the epitaphs, and found seven or eight princes, a dozen princesses, and an almost equal number of horses and ministers, and no less than forty burial chambers and coffins......

It turned out to be a large collective tomb - the bottom was the underground palace of the king and queen, and the tombs of princes and princesses were densely distributed above, all in these seven stone steps. The burial chambers are connected by a labyrinth of corridors, with upper and lower floors, and neighbors on the left and right, like the rooms in a Manhattan skyscraper hotel.

It has been a Chinese tradition since ancient times that princesses are buried near the emperor and grandchildren near their grandparents. However, the burial of the princess, prince and the emperor in a stone tomb, and distributed in the staircase chambers adjacent to the upper and lower sides, is probably the original creation of the Bohai Kingdom......

Walk through the large tomb with seven steps and approach the top inside the pyramid. The space of the stone wall is getting smaller and smaller, and if you are a fat man, you will be stuck. Nine colors reverted to the big dog and walked in front, Qin Beiyang and Ah You walked one after the other, leaned sideways through the gap, but saw words on the wall-

The miner's lamp illuminates the vernacular of the Tang Dynasty, but it is also far from modern Chinese, more like the story of "Jing Chang". It is to the effect that this mausoleum of the Great Bohai Kingdom was built by the tombsmith Qin. Qin was originally a royal craftsman of the Tang Dynasty, and later fell into Liaodong due to palace changes, and was taken captive by the Bohai people to Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, and was ordered to build the royal tomb, according to the shape of the Tang Emperor's Mausoleum in Bailuyuan.

It is the ancestor of the Qin family again.

Qin Beiyang may not be his direct descendant, but he is also worthy of admiration, but he can't kneel between the cracks in the stones.

But he had a question: "There is no Tang Emperor's Mausoleum in Bailuyuan, only the Emperor's Mausoleum - the grandson of Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, the tomb of Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County, how can the emperor's tomb come from?" The stone carving says that this tomb was built in the early years of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, not long after the death of Wu Zetian, and should be the early tomb of the Bohai Kingdom, less than 20 years after the death of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty in Bailuyuan. ”

The two of them were sandwiched between the stones, and Ah You blew his breath on his neck: "Brother, you haven't seen the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty Tomb in Bailuyuan with your own eyes, right?" ”

"When I was born, but I don't remember."

"Come with me, I'll take you back to Bailuyuan's hometown to have a look, you will have a special discovery."

"Back to White Deer Plain?" Qin Beiyang was noncommittal, and then looked at the stone above his head, "But right now, how can we escape from this tomb?" ”
