Chapter 276: Haunted

"Soul Stone? Just by hearing the name, you can know that it is not a good thing, could it be that the owner of the tomb wants to use this stone tablet to calm the soul of the person in the coffin, how much hatred this must be. I said.

"Strictly speaking, the Soul Stone is indeed not a good thing, and it is not very common in history, but it has its own wonderful uses." Li Huiyan said.

It can be seen that Li Huiyan seems to know this town soul stone very well, and must have read this record.

"What a wonderful use, isn't it used to suppress the souls of the dead?" I asked.

"That's right, especially when it comes to suppressing the souls of the martyrs. You must know that in ancient times, the funeral system was extremely popular, even in some dynasties that explicitly prohibited the burial of living people, some princes and nobles would secretly use living people for burial. Li Huiyan said.

"I know some of these, living people have been buried since ancient times, and they have been repeatedly banned in all dynasties. The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, even the emperor can't dig up everyone's grave to see it clearly. I nodded.

Speaking of the burial of the living, the most popular should be the Xia Shang Dynasty, when there were still slaves.

In the eyes of slave owners, slaves were even inferior to some livestock, which made the burial of living people extremely commonplace at that time.

Even in some archaeological excavations, there have been tragic scenes of hundreds or even thousands of people being buried in some burial pits, which is unimaginable in later generations.

"Unlike the use of livestock burial, there are many taboos when the living are buried, especially when the mortician is not willing to be buried, there are often many resentments in the heart. The grievances of these martyrs do not disappear with their deaths, but remain with the tombs. Li Huiyan said.

"That's why there is a soul stone to help the owner of the tomb suppress the grievances of the martyrs?" I said.

"Yes, the biggest role of the Soul Stone is to suppress the grievances of the martyrs. After the death of the owner of the tomb, he did not want to be disturbed by these grievances and could not rest in peace, but there was no way to completely eliminate the grievances of these martyrs, so he had to suppress them in this way. Li Huiyan nodded.

I can't help but feel very sympathetic to these martyrs, when I am alive, I can't make my own decisions about my own life, and after I die, even my soul will be suppressed forever by the Soul Suppression Stone, which is really miserable.

"Sister Lizi, just such a broken stone can suppress the grievances of the martyrs, how can it be so powerful, I think it's all bluffing." Xiao Yue said disapprerovingly.

"These things are originally believed to have, if you don't believe in it, you don't have it, whether the soul stone can suppress the grievances of the martyrs, none of us know, but the ancients did do it. Since something like the Soul Suppression Stone has always existed throughout the ages, it must have its ingenious use. Li Huiyan said.

"I still don't believe that if a broken stone can be of such great use, then these martyrs will never have a bright day." Xiao Yue said.

Indeed, it would be too much to say that a single stone could suppress the vengeful soul of the mourner.

I guess most of this soul stone is only used to deceive people, in order to reassure the owner of the tomb.

"You should have misunderstood, it's not the stone itself that is powerful about the Soul Suppression Stone, but the words engraved on it. Just like the merit tablet we see in front of us, what is engraved on it is the life exploits of the tomb owner, in addition to the edge of the merit tablet, there are some Taoist runes, which are the root of the entire soul stone. Li Huiyan explained.

"You mean that the owner of the tomb is using his own life exploits to suppress the souls of the martyrs?" I asked.

"That's it." Li Huiyan nodded. I didn't say anything more, these things that Li Huiyan said were too ethereal.

I listened to it for a long time, but the more I listened, the more confused I became, sometimes I felt as if I understood what Li Huiyan meant, but when I thought about it, I felt as if I didn't understand anything.

"Sister Lizi, let's not talk about these useless things, I'm still more interested in this golden jade robe on the coffin lid. Anyway, this soul stone is not used to suppress us, so I don't bother to care about it so much. Xiao Yue said.

Li Huiyan smiled a little helplessly, it turned out that it was useless to explain so much, and others didn't care about this at all.

However, after Xiao Yue's interruption, everyone's eyes fell on the golden jade robe on the coffin lid again.

Presumably, everyone's hearts were already full of questions, why this golden jade robe was placed on the lid of the coffin empty, instead of being placed in the coffin after the body was pretended.

I've never heard of such a strange thing, could it be that the people who were responsible for the burial of Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, were lazy?

But I thought about it carefully and thought it was unlikely, it stands to reason that after the death of the deceased, the body should be put in the coffin first, and then directly carried into the tomb when the burial is carried out, there is no situation where the body has not been pretended after entering the ancient tomb.

In this way, the golden jade clothes placed on the lid of the coffin are even more incredible, which is really incomprehensible.

When we discussed the Soul Suppression Stone before, Qin Gong had already taken the lead in inspecting the surroundings of the ghost-faced white jade coffin, indicating that there was no mechanism set up on the jade coffin.

"Look at it, this gold-threaded jade robe is indeed a bit strange, and it should have some special purpose when placed on the coffin lid." I said.

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yue came out with both hands, grabbed the golden jade clothes on the coffin lid in his hands, and stroked the jade clothes with bright eyes.

"Sister Lizi, look at it, this golden jade dress is too well done." Xiao Yue said excitedly.

I glanced down, and was immediately amazed by the golden jade clothes. At the beginning, because we were worried that there was an anti-theft mechanism on the ghost-faced white jade coffin, we were still some distance away when we looked at the golden jade clothes, so we didn't look too closely.

But now, when I saw the golden jade clothes close at hand, I was a little shocked and speechless. Not only does this gold-threaded jade robe maintain a pure white color on each jade piece, but the surface of each jade piece is carved with many patterns.

Not only that, but even the gold wires used to connect the jade pieces are no longer ordinary round, but twisted into a twisted shape, and the places where the gold wires are connected are also twisted into the shape of a flower.

"Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu is indeed very good at enjoying it, just the golden jade clothes used by the mourners are much more exquisite than any golden jade clothes I have seen before, I really don't know what his own clothes will look like." I said with some sighs.

The golden jade clothes unearthed in the archaeological world in the past have never appeared carved patterns on the jade pieces, and it is the first time that such a golden jade clothes have appeared.

You must know that there are about 2,000 pieces of jade needed to make a gold-threaded jade robe, and polishing the jade into such a small piece is a huge project, not to mention the time it takes to carve patterns on each piece of jade.

"Whether this golden jade robe is the one inside the jade coffin, we still don't know, do you want to open the coffin lid to take a look?" Li Huiyan asked.

"Of course, if you don't open it, how can you know what's going on." Xiao Yue said immediately.

"It's okay to open the lid of the coffin, but don't mess with the contents of the coffin, even if you find another golden jade robe inside." Li Huiyan said.

"If you don't move, you don't move, I already have one anyway." Xiao Yue said nonchalantly.

"Xiao Yan, do you think that there is a golden jade robe in the jade coffin, this is unlikely." I asked Li Huiyan.

It is already extremely rare to have a golden jade robe, and if two golden jade clothes are found at the same time, it is simply appalling.

The golden jade coat is not a handful of roadside wild vegetables, if it is really so easy to appear, then it will not be so precious.

"I don't know, let's take a look first, maybe there really is, anything can happen in the ancient tomb." Li Huiyan said.

"Then open the lid of the coffin and take a look, to be honest, I'm quite curious why this golden jade robe is placed on the lid of the coffin, it's really unreasonable." I said.

Before I could say anything, Dong Shan was already standing at the end of the jade coffin, putting his hands on the lid of the coffin and preparing to open the lid.

Seeing this, I quickly stretched out my hand, lifted the coffin lid with Dong Dan, and carefully placed it on the ground on the side.

As I expected, the inside of the ghost-faced white jade coffin was also covered with white jade pieces. It may be because the years are too long, and the jade pieces attached to the coffin have loosened and fallen off, revealing the original face under the jade pieces, and it turns out that the jade pieces are also golden silk nanmu.

What was even more unexpected was that after the coffin lid was opened, it turned out to be a wooden coffin one size smaller. Judging from the pattern and style of this wooden coffin, it is also a pair of golden silk nan wooden coffins.

What makes people feel a little surprised is that this pair of golden silk nan wooden coffins is too small, and the length of the entire golden silk nan wooden coffin adds up to less than one meter six, except for the thickness of the coffin at both ends, the available space inside is probably only about one meter two.

"Isn't it a child buried in this golden silk nan coffin?" I said. In ancient times, burial was far more prevalent than cremation and burial.

When you go out, some people with special religious beliefs, as well as some places with special customs, whether they are emperors and nobles or ordinary people, are basically buried.

The preservation of the body was taken very seriously in ancient times, and it was basically unlikely that the ashes would be buried, so I also ruled out the possibility that the urn was placed in this golden silk nan wooden coffin.

"Judging from the size of this coffin, it is indeed very likely that it is a child, and the golden jade clothes placed on the lid of the coffin just now are also much smaller than the normal golden jade clothes." Li Huiyan said.

At this time, my eyes were attracted to something else, which was a boxy, dark green Jiaoshou seal.

"Wow, this seal is beautiful, and the color is so special, shining a flashlight on it makes it seem like the green is flowing." Dong Shuang exclaimed.

I nodded to myself, I also noticed this just now, the color of this seal is dark green without the slightest magazine, which is extremely rare at this time.
