Chapter 0041, Nine Suo Hanging Coffin
I just entered the burial chamber, and I was glad that it was so easy to pour a bucket, and I didn't need to shovel the five-flower soil or dig the earth. drove the car and happily entered the tomb. I didn't expect that before I even caught a fart, I was grabbed by a hand on my leg and neck!
"That scares you, it's just a human sacrifice, a dead body!" Zhengyang looked at it a little helplessly. I took a closer look at it with a miner's lamp, and sure enough, there was a headless corpse with his hands hanging on my trouser legs, which was a false alarm.
Human sacrifice, also known as human martyrdom. Popular in the pre-Qin era, prisoners of war or slaves were generally used. According to archaeological records, in the Yinxu Gongling area of Anyang, more than 5,000 people have been martyred and killed in more than a dozen tombs that have been excavated. Some were beheaded or sawed hands and feet, and many of the martyrs also carried torture instruments. In the Spring and Autumn Period, terracotta figurines were gradually used to replace human martyrdom, but large-scale burials also occurred after the Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms, Chen Wu of Eastern Wu was killed in battle, and Sun Quan ordered his concubine to be buried. With a history of 5,000 years, the history of martyrdom was officially ended until Ming Yingzong ordered the abolition of funeral, except for some sporadic phenomena of resurgence.
"Huh! Why has this sarcophagus been touched again? Zhengyang was a little puzzled!
I looked anxiously into the middle of the burial chamber, where a sarcophagus head hung in the air on the north and south sides. It was dropped by nine thick iron chains. The entire sarcophagus was tightly tied. The nine chains, protruding from the eight directions of the sarcophagus, were nailed to the dragon stone of the tomb wall. The thickest chain, hanging from the dome, lifted the entire coffin.
"Strange, why is that iron pillar missing?" Zhengyang looked at the lock dragon stone on the top of the sarcophagus and said something coldly.
I didn't know what he was talking about, and was going to get closer to the sarcophagus to take a closer look.
The style of the sarcophagus is rough, and the carving is very rough. It is composed of two parts: the coffin body and the coffin lid, and the CD is a stone block that is integrated into one. The nine iron chains were originally hung by nine large locks. The large copper lock that locks the iron chain at the top has an extremely simple shape, which makes my eyes shine.
This is a typical Han Dynasty "three-reed lock", and the lock body is similar to the structure in the costume TV series. The lock resembles a beast held up by four hooves, and a spear passes through the hoof's eye as a lever. At the tail of the fox is a keyhole, which contains three reeds that resemble a toothed dagger, which can only be opened by a special key. It can't be smashed, and this kind of lock has been used until about the 50s of the last century.
"Boy, can you see the doorway for this coffin?" Zhengyang only glanced at me and asked me a question.
"The head of this coffin hangs from the south to the north, what doorway can it have?"
"Face North, do you know what it means?"
As soon as he said this, it dawned on me. In ancient times, the south side was honored. On the contrary, the north side is not only not honorable, but also means defeated. As the ancients said, defeat, rushing north, is the meaning of defeat. I suddenly realized that I said, "Is the owner of this coffin a prisoner of war?" β
"That's right! This coffin is not only a defeated general, but also a master who has undergone a corpse mutation! β
"Zhengyang, where did you see that he had a corpse mutiny!"
"This iron chain is a typical nine-son soul chain, which is the technique of locking the corpse recorded in the "Taiping True Scripture"! When there is a corpse with great resentment in the coffin, this method will be used to suppress it! β
"Is this also called an iron-locked bronze corpse?" I flipped up "The Secret of Maoshan Mountain" in my head, and I remember one of them, which was dedicated to the iron lock array. The corpses that need to use the iron lock array are at a very high level. The chain is not an ordinary thing, it is made of peach charcoal fire after melting iron ore, and immediately injected into the boy's three-pointed blood, both the tip of the nose, the tip of the fingers, and the tip of the tongue, with the horse jun windmill blowing the wind at great speed, the wind fuels the fire, cast like a mold, and is forged by thousands of hammers. After each forging, black dog blood is used to quench it, so the chains secretly glow purple.
The sarcophagus is suspended with nine iron locks, so that the coffin cannot touch the earth, and then connects the iron pillar at the top through the hanging chain, accepts the catastrophe of the thunder, introduces the current, and seals the grievances in the coffin, so that the things inside can not be reborn forever. One can imagine how vicious the curse of the tomb owner was. Once this nine-son lock soul chain is broken, it means death for ordinary Tufuzi!
At that time, Yu Ji, a Taiping Taoist, had a very high prestige in the Dongwu generation. Legend has it that eleven or twelve droughts were killed, seventy-six bones were not turned into bones, and there were countless ghosts. In order to suppress the soul of Wu County's Taishou Xu Gong, he deliberately created the Nine Sons Chain Lock. I briefly told Zhengyang about the content of Maoshan Secret.
"That's right! You are the descendant of Old Man Xia! "For some reason, I'm a little uncomfortable with Zhengyang's praise.
The closure of the sarcophagus, which is not very tight, has a noticeable gap. Traces of human prying can be seen. Traces of chopping were also found under the sarcophagus. A closer look reveals that three of the chains are of poor texture, far inferior to the other six, and must have been replaced later.
"Look at this, this tomb has been stolen a long time ago! Zhengyang, let's go! β
"Don't worry, the weapon must still be there! You take a closer look at the locks. β
I stared at the sarcophagus carefully, and sure enough, there were three other locks. The first is a shrimp tail silver lock in the Tang Dynasty, and the second is a square body lock in the Song Dynasty. These locks are distinctive, so I can tell them at a glance. When I saw the last lock, my whole body was going to laugh, wasn't that the Earth padlock? "Oh, grandma is a bear, which soil bun is hung up, hahahaha!" I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhengyang's face was still expressionless, and he said lightly, "That earth lock was hung up by my own hands!" When I heard this, I was stunned, and my intuition told me, "Impossible!" β
"Zhengyang, when did you become so humorous?"
Zhengyang didn't answer, he directly pulled out the Chunjun sword, and slashed at the lock, a white light flashed, and the lock fell into the water, and the blade cut the iron lock, but there was no sound. I was so shocked that I could only describe this sword as awesome.
A few more flashes of white light flashed, and Zhengyang continuously split several iron chains, and the sword broke through the iron. The coffin fell into the water with a bang, and splashed me, and the whole burial chamber trembled!
"Zhengyang, are you crazy? This kind of hanging coffin can't fall to the ground, and people will die if they land! β
"Boy, if you want to take advantage of the weapon, don't open your mouth!"
A white light flashed, and Zhengyang put his sword into the sheath. I saw him jump on the spot, slammed his leg towards the sarcophagus lid, and with a bang, the coffin lid opened a big gap. The sarcophagus cover weighs three or four hundred pounds, and it is conceivable that the strength of Zhengyang's foot is so fierce, he is simply a pair of iron legs!
As the lid of the coffin opened, a cyan glow floated out of the opening, like a swarm of fireflies, which quickly filled the entire tomb.
I braved myself and leaned into the coffin, where lay a headless corpse, dressed in chain mail, with a sword piercing through the mirror and smashing into a deep pit, which you can imagine how penetrating the sword was. The corpse's hands were clenched tightly on the blade of the sword, and the blades were embedded in the flesh, and I was terrified to see it, this is too ruthless!
"Boy, that sword is back to its rightful owner!"
My eyes were fixed on the sword, and my whole body trembled as if I had been electrocuted, and an electric current spread from my eyes to my whole body, and my breathing gradually increased, and my hands trembled. That's right, I'm staring straight at the sword! I screamed almost word for word.
Green! Dark! Sword!
I looked greedily at the Green Sword, its blade texture showed a gorgeous like a hundred dragons circling, the essence of the blade bloomed modestly and restrainedly, and the light was blue in the dark, just like a cyan fish in the deep blue sea. My whole body was trembling, and I never dreamed that I would have the "Green Sword"!
In those years, Emperor Sun Quan used a hundred refined steel to forge six swords, "White Rainbow", "Purple Lightning", "Evil Spirit", "Liucheng" (Meteor), "Baili" and "Qingying".
On the sword body of the Qingying Sword, there is an inscription engraved with the hanging money seal "Qingqing Mingming, ghosts and gods are still feasting"
I approached the sarcophagus, reached out and was about to draw my sword, which suddenly shone with a strange light! A voice rang in my ear, "You're coming?" "It's a deep male voice.
"Be careful!"
Zhengyang's voice woke me up at once. Half of my body was in the sarcophagus, and my hand was on one of the copper nails in the coffin, about to pull it off.
"This thing is evil, it's only been thirty years, and it's only been thirty years, and it's actually learned the Ecstasy Method!"
I'm still in a state of confusion: "What is the Ecstasy Method!" "I spoke like a robot, without any emotion. Zhengyang frowned, patted me lightly on the shoulder with his hand, I suddenly came back to my senses, looked closely at the sarcophagus left and near, was nailed a good copper nail, the nail is very special, it seems to have been nailed many times, and there is still a piece of porcelain in the coffin that has rained over the azure. I stared at the coffin for a moment before Zhengyang said the second sentence.
"Boy, it's okay! Your mind was briefly controlled by it, and I have summoned it back! β
"Isn't it? That thing is so evil? β
"With me here, what are you afraid of? Go and see the wall over there, a sign embedded in it! β
I walked to the south wall of the burial chamber. It is inlaid with a square inscription, which is an epitaph, and it is engraved with an inscription that seems to be subordinate to non-subordinate and non-subordinate. To the effect that the Dongye people of Huiji County followed the spring and rebelled against Sun Quan. LΓΌ Dai was ordered to march south, incorporated Suichun, worshiped him as a general, and pacified the story of Li Huan and Lu He. The epitaph is written in a condescending tone, constantly accusing Sui Chun of being capricious and innocent.
"Could this be the tomb of the Eastern Wu people of the Three Kingdoms, Suichun?"
"Hmm!" Zhengyang nodded, pointed to a few murals on the east wall, and motioned for me to go and look at them.
I walked to the east wall of the tomb, held up my searchlight, and looked at the frescoes.
The first mural shows a general, under the watchful eye of a man who looks like a eunuch, with a pained expression, directing his men and horses to attack an army dressed in the same costume as him! Browsing through the mural, sure enough, the general carried two human heads and offered tribute to a burly general in gorgeous armor. After that, there are several fragments of the general's life, all of which seem depressing and painful. In the last mural, the general seemed to be in the court, with his crown removed, his hands cut back, and dragged down. Obviously, this general, for some sin, was deprived of his official position. Judging by the scene in the coffin, he must have been beheaded. Otherwise, how can we explain the headless corpse?
As I finished browsing the murals, I noticed that the tomb walls were a little weird. I opened my eyes wide and looked closely, and found that in addition to the shadow of me and Zhengyang, there was also a vague shadow! There are only two of us in the tomb, how can there be a third shadow? I was about to cry, and hurriedly asked Zhengyang: "Whose shadow is that?" β
