I shouted, "Be careful!" ”

Zhengyang nodded, and took it very carefully, and soon, a rat-headed man with a gilded green face and fangs took it out of his bag, and there were many patterns carved on it.

Although Zhengyang is much higher than me in Taoism, he doesn't know much about these strange historical knowledge, he carefully holds the rat-headed man and asks me, "What is this?" I took it with both hands and looked at it carefully. At that time, Stein had found a rat-headed statue in Dandan Ullik, Xinjiang, which was the totem of Gaochang Kingdom! ”

In the ancient city of Yotgan, this kind of thing appeared in large numbers, and experts concluded that it was the main god of the temple. But burying him in a burial chamber has never been found in the archaeological community. This may have something to do with the tomb owner's lifetime, as for why he accompanied the burial, I can't say. But the owner of the tomb would never use this kind of burial, because this kind of rat-headed man appeared much later than the tomb. "This may have been put in by a descendant!"

We checked the baggage again, and the contents had long since been carbonized and turned to ashes when touched, so it was not clear what was still there.

After looking around the totem, I found nothing. We walked back again, and it was dark behind us, I don't know how deep.

"Look, there's also a Jizo King Bodhisattva here!" I stared at the Buddha statue carefully, exactly like the upper level. Next to the Buddha statue is a dense lacquer box, which is filled with bundles of hemp paper scriptures, the text of which is very different from today's Tripitaka. These papers have been used for thousands of years, and we dare not move them easily.

Soon a sutra came to my attention, which used a story similar to the Jin manuscript of the Three Kingdoms, and there was no reference book here, and there were some key points that I could not read. So wrap this scroll and put it in your backpack.

In those lacquer boxes, there are a lot of plant seeds, as well as some daily necessities. It didn't appeal to me too much. In one of the boxes, there is a pair of colorful brocade, which is exactly the same as the weaving silk unearthed by Niya "Five Stars Out of the East to Benefit China". It is obvious that Shu brocade, the meaning of this sentence refers to the year star, the glow star, the filling star, the Taibai star and the chen star. The heavens and the earth turn, the sun and the moon pass, and the five stars are difficult to gather. However, in October of the first year of the Han Dynasty, the five stars gathered in Dongjing, which was beneficial to China. Once the Five Stars are concentrated in the West, it will be bad for China.

I opened some lacquer boxes, and there were many bamboo slips inside, probably all of which were records of Buddhist temples in Khotan, which shows the prosperity of Buddhism in the Western Regions in those years. I opened a lacquer box again, and there was actually a line of words written in Gu Li, "Xia Ji, I know you're here!" "I saw my scalp tingling and sat back.

Zhengyang stood aside and watched me pick it up, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

I shook my head and said I didn't know, and I really didn't.

To be honest, we didn't find anything special in the Xiangdian, because these things have archaeological value, and the purpose of our trip is not to turn the bucket, so I put the relics back untouched.

On the offering table of the Xiangdian Palace, the everlasting lamp has long been extinguished, and the wine and fruits in several boxes and bronze jue are dried up, and the shape is completely invisible.

Walking further in, we saw the end of the hall of enjoyment, where there is a jade door, which is made of four pieces of white marble inlay, the door shaft is coiled with a hundred-legged dragon fired in glass, the lintel is embossed with a hundred opera pictures of music and dance, the door is carved with a side of the door, and a woman stretches out half of her head. The scientific name of this kind of door is the women's half-concealed door, which has been popular since the Tang Dynasty, and I really don't know that this shape appeared during the Three Kingdoms, and it seems that ancient things are inherited in an orderly manner for thousands of years. The door was hidden, and the running stone was cut in half in the middle.

"Apparently someone went in ahead of us!" I wondered if it would be Li Dazui.

According to the traditional tomb structure, after the hall of enjoyment, you will enter the tomb. I suddenly realized that I still had one important thing to do, so I returned to the hall and went straight to the stupa. The relics are rare treasures in the world, if you get one, you can suppress my Lingyang body, so that you won't attract ghosts like this!

"Don't move that stupa, it's dangerous!"

"I'll take out the relics for you, you need this."

I looked at Zhengyang with gratitude, and the relics stupa was really exquisitely structured. It's all one, and I can't even see the gap the size of a hair, and I can't see it with Gongye beads, which is exquisitely clear. I reached out and touched the tower, and a breath spread through my fingertips, and it was a biting cold. There are four windows on each floor of the tower, and under the fiddling of Zhengyang, it seems to be playing with the Rubik's Cube, and soon on one side of the tower, twenty-eight windows are connected to each of the seven. Zhengyang gently pushed the entire tower, and the tower opened like a box, with a golden box inside.

I took out the gold box, and out of it I took out a silver box, and out of the silver box I took out a pair of ivory boxes. Finally, from the ivory box, take out a pure wooden box. When the box was opened, the golden light filled the hall, and it was a little dazzling. It was a mani bead, the parietal bone relic of the Buddha.

There are only 16 well-documented relics of the Buddha in the world today, and there are 13 in China. The rest are in Nepal, Japan and Thailand. And I got one, and I was overjoyed, and I took out the Jinpa and wrapped it in a wooden box to carry with me. Zhengyang placed the relics pagoda again, and only then did we turn around and leave the hall of enjoyment.

I thought about it and walked more than 200 meters before I reached the tomb.

The burial chamber was empty, there were no frescoes, only a coffin in the center. The coffin was extremely thin in wood, and if it weren't for a dry place like the Western Regions, I'm afraid there would have been no slag left. Zhengyang and I walked forward to take a closer look at the wooden coffin.

The coffin was completely carved out of a piece of poplar wood, with a boat-shaped head at each end, hollowed out of it, just enough to lie down a person, covered with a whole poplar plank, nailed with wooden nails, similar to the shape of the coffin in the Xiaohe cemetery. The coffin seemed to have been pried open, revealing a gap, and looking at the traces of sawdust, it was estimated that it would not take more than half a month.

Zhengyang and I looked at each other and said that we wanted to open the coffin. I took out the iron lamp that Lu Jianguo borrowed from me and put it at the foot of the wall. Zhengyang and I helped both sides of the coffin lid on the left and right, and when we moved it vigorously, it was opened. Inside lay a blonde and blue-eyed "foreign friend", his whole body was shriveled, and the liquid in his body seemed to have been sucked up. The foreigner had high eyes and a deep nose, his face was extremely distorted, and a cut was made in his throat, and the blood was drained.

"How did these people get in?" I'm sure there's only one way to get in from the surface, the quicksand tomb. They couldn't have entered before us. Then there's only one possibility, they're coming in from somewhere else.

"There's something underneath him!"

We moved the foreigner, only half of the body got up, and saw a dried corpse exposed below, the dress was like a Loulan beauty, the skin was completely dry but unusually smooth due to water loss, the eyes were deep-set, and the mouth was wide open due to skin contraction. After a closer look, the dry corpse actually hugged the foreigner by the waist, and seemed unwilling to let me pull it up.

"! It can't be a corpse, right? "I was shocked, I have encountered this corpse several times, and it has left a serious shadow in my heart." This thing isn't personal at all! Zhengyang's eyes spewed cold light, fuck, everyone knows it's not a person, so what the hell is she?

"Humanskin puppet!" As soon as I heard this, I almost fell down in fright. I took a closer look at which guy, although it had the appearance of a dried corpse, but the skeleton of the body did betray it.

"The Secret of Maoshan Mountain" records that "the most important witchcraft in Khotan is to skin people on puppets and do Gu magic to protect the mausoleum." "To put it bluntly, this thing is a tomb beast, responsible for guarding the entrance to the tomb. It's just that the mainland uses stone beasts and the like to guard. Witchcraft is prevalent in the Western Regions, and it is believed that people are the most effective, so they simply use people as puppets. This kind of thing is so evil that it is not afraid of Taoism at all, and it is difficult to kill even machine guns.

The dry corpse "swished" upright, his knees were not slightly bent, and the foreigner was ejected with a bang, hit the tomb wall, and fell to pieces. The dry corpse stood in the coffin, opened its empty eyes, and its upper and lower limbs looked very incongruous and swaying. It cracked its mouth wide and seemed to be laughing, without any sound.

It slowly jumped out of the coffin, slamming it on the floor, making a loud bang......

That thing actually flew towards me, and Lao Tzu looked decrepit? Why is everything coming towards me, a dragging person over there, isn't it more fulfilling for you to challenge him? I took several steps backwards, and the corpse moved mechanically towards me, and its two claws were spread open.

The corpse claw came out like a wheel, and it struck head-on, and then retreated. I was confronted by the corpse, and as soon as it pounced, I leaped backwards. The iron claws were grabbed like wheels, and they were all lucky to dodge themselves. I've always kept a distance from this guy, and I've had room to see the secret of this set of iron claws. I saw it swoop forward with its left hand, and it grabbed at my ear again. Suddenly, he grabbed from top to bottom, and although the direction changed, his posture was the same as before. It turns out that this thing only has three moves, and the three moves are random.

To put it simply, one move to pull the neck, one move to get up and down, and one move to catch the moon by the monkey are all the most vicious moves. It seems that this human-skin puppet has its name, and may be a half-finished design. That's it!

"It makes you hit the lower abdomen when you "hold the cloud hand"! "The dried corpse did go straight to the base of my ear. "Seven Signatures of the Cloud Pipe" is a metaphor for the jade steps of the sea of clouds, which are ears and shoulders, so Zhengyang is called the hand that holds the clouds. But the dry corpse came out of the cloud hand, the lower abdomen was fully open, and the pure leather in the center was open, and I hit it hard, and it stumbled back several times.

"It makes up and down its hands, and you hit the heavenly spirit!" The dry corpse did use his hands up and down, grabbing the blind from the top of his head with one claw, and the other from his abdomen. I narrowly sought victory, pointed my toes on the ground, picked up a huge fist, smashed into its heavenly spirit cover, and with a bang, it half sat on the ground. His lower limbs were completely paralyzed.

"Be careful of the monkey fishing for the moon, you come to sweep your head and legs!" Monkey fishing is the most vicious method used in street fighting, and it is eaten by both men and women. So I had to sweep my head and legs with the unrestricted martial arts, sweep it hard, and as its claws approached, I heard a clang, and my whole head rolled to the side.

"Boy, the battle isn't over yet......"

Just as I was about to stop, a black shadow, like a flying squirrel, pounced on me!
