I took the photo from Professor Sun's hand and looked at it with Shirley Yang. In the photo, there are six blood-red jade beasts the size of fists, with strange shapes, like lions and tigers, with feathers on their bodies, all with only one eye, and hideous faces. The jade beast has a lot of mercury on its body, and although it is beautifully made, it gives people a very evil and cold look.

For some reason, I felt an indescribable disgust when I thought that it was the item of the coffin shopkeeper, and I didn't want to look at it more, but when I saw it, I remembered the matter of raising fish from dead people, and my stomach was churning with disgust. I asked Professor Sun, "Professor, was this photo taken yesterday at the stele shop?" Could it be the stone box jade beast found under the coffin in the photo? ”

Professor Sun nodded and said, "Yes, I think you will be able to use this photo, so I asked my assistant to go back to the county seat overnight to wash out the negatives." Take a closer look at what's so special in the photo. ”

Shirley Yang Ben didn't want to look at these evil beasts too much, and listening to Professor Sun's words, it seemed that there were some clues related to the dust beads in the photo. So he picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, and finally found the characteristics in it: "Professor, the six ruby beasts have only one one-eyed, and they are surprisingly large, which does not conform to normal proportions, and ...... And the most special thing is the jade beast's single eye, which is exactly the same as the dust bead. ”

Professor Sun said to us, "Yes, exactly. That's why I just advised you not to be depressed. ”

I was pleasantly surprised by Shirley Yang, but I couldn't figure it out - the ancient Dian Kingdom was located in a corner of southern Xinjiang, how could it be connected to Yun Chenzhu? Could it be that the unaccounted for dust beads has been hidden in the tomb of a certain generation of Dian kings for so many years?

Although Professor Sun doesn't know much about the phoenix gall dust beads, he has a lot of ancient encrypted information and has a deep study of historical archives. Professor Sun believes that the dust bead must have existed, and this artifact has extraordinary significance to ancient monarchs, symbolizing power and prosperity; Moreover, different cultural backgrounds and geographical relations make the understanding of the dust beads also different.

The stone box jade beast found in the coffin shop can be said to be from the ancient Dian Kingdom of Yunnan. The Dian Kingdom was once three counties under the Qin period, and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, this region implemented a closed country, established itself as a king, and broke away from the central power, and was not re-pacified until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

According to records, some people in the ancient Dian country believed in witchcraft and witchcraft, and due to the difference in cosmology and values, there were many contradictions in the country. In order to avoid chaos, these people who believed in evil gods left the Dian Kingdom and migrated to live in the mountains on the banks of the Lancang River. The leader of this part of the people called himself the king of Xian, and there are countless such grass-headed sons of heaven in Chinese history, and the records of this king in the history books are only a few words. These jade beasts were the sacrificial vessels used by the king to perform witchcraft.

The six red jade beasts represent the six directions of east, south, west, north, heaven and earth, and each has its own name and function. When the king holds a sacrificial activity, he needs to take some hallucinogenic drugs to make his spirit reach a certain unconscious state, and at the same time, the six jade beasts are fixed on the six altars to produce a certain magnetic field, so that they can achieve communication with the evil god totem at the level of spiritual consciousness.

The jade beast used in the sacrifice of the king is much larger than the set under the coffin shop, and the set we found under the coffin shop should be used by wizards with a relatively high status in the country - as for how it fell into the hands of the old shopkeeper of the coffin shop, and how the old shopkeeper mastered these evil methods, it is difficult to say. There are many possibilities, maybe he was a tomb robber, maybe he was a descendant of a sorcerer under the king.

As for these six red jade beasts, it is possible that the king of Xian has materialized the dust beads according to their own understanding, or has extended them to some extent. Moreover, it is very likely that this Xianwang has seen the real Yun Chenzhu, and it is even possible that he is the last owner of the Yun Chenzhu, but there is no more information, so this inference can only be made for the time being.

After listening to Professor Sun's analysis, I think it makes a lot of sense, and as long as there is still a chance, we have to work very hard. But when he asked Professor Sun about where the tomb of King Xian was buried, he didn't know at all. The tomb of the king is located in a remote area, and the king himself is proficient in foreign arts, the selected mausoleum site must be very secret, after so many years, the probability of finding it is very slim.

In addition, Professor Sun also instructed us not to rob the tomb, try to think of other ways, there are many ways to solve the problem, now that medicine is very developed, it is best to solve it by scientific and technological means. Don't be too attached to the dust beads, after all, the values of the ancients are not perfect, and they do not have a deep understanding of nature, and the wind, rain, thunder and lightning will be regarded by the ancients as the manifestation of immortals, which has many imaginary ingredients out of thin air. Professor Sun also promised to let us know as soon as he found any new clues. I said yes, "Don't worry, how can we rob the tomb, and even if we want to, we won't be able to find it." ”

Professor Sun nodded and said, "That's good, I hate tomb robbers the most in my life." Although archaeology and tomb robbery have similarities, the degree of destruction of cultural relics caused by tomb robbery is too serious, and the country and the nation ......."

I am most afraid of Professor Sun's preaching, he reminds me of the director of the Political and Educational Office in primary school, who went online at every turn, complicated simple events at every turn, and rose to a certain height that I could only look up to. As soon as I heard this kind of big truth, I felt uncomfortable. I saw that the information that Professor Sun could tell us had basically been said, and the rest would be all nonsense, so I thanked Professor Sun again and again, and got up with Shirley Yang to say goodbye. Before leaving, he asked for the photo of the jade beast. Professor Sun did not return to the county guest house because he had to rush back to Shibeidian to continue his work, and after saying goodbye to us, he went on his own.

When I went back to the county guest house with Shirley Yang, we saw a blind man telling fortune at the door, and the other party was a local woman. The blind man said to the woman, "It's terrible, this grandmother was the queen mother of heaven, but because she was tired of living in heaven, she was reincarnated to play on earth." It's time to go back to Heaven now, so I got this incurable disease. It's not more than March, but you can hear the sound of fairy music in the sky, and it's the time when you get back to the palace......"

The woman asked with a sad face, "Old fairy, you say that there is no cure for my disease?" But I am reluctant to live with the Jade Emperor, I have no relationship with him, and I still have two babies at home. ”

The blind man looked very embarrassed, and said to the woman: "Niangniang, if you don't want to go back to the palace, it's not impossible, but the old man ......."

The woman kept urging the blind man, and stuffed a ten-dollar bill into the blind man's hand, begging the blind man to find a way for himself to live another fifty or sixty years.

The blind man twisted the banknote with his hand, knowing that it was ten yuan, and immediately said: "Okay, the old man will let go out and accommodate the Jade Emperor for you." Anyway, one day in the sky and one year underground, let the Jade Emperor wait for you for three or two more months, and you will live in the mortal world for a few more decades. But this is bitter Jade Emperor, you don't know something, he thinks you don't think about it, the last time I saw him, I found that I lost weight three times, and I didn't have the heart to deal with national affairs, and I looked forward to you going back every day like the stars and the moon. ”

I was worried that the blind man would be out of line, and that the woman's man would come back to make trouble again, and accuse him that it was light to provoke the feelings of husband and wife, so I beckoned the blind man to eat in the canteen. When the blind man saw that we were back, he hastily took the money and sent the woman away, and I took him with his bamboo stick and led him into the canteen.

We were ready to have lunch and then head back to Xi'an and then back to Beijing. The three of us sat at a table, Shirley Yang was very preoccupied and couldn't eat anything, and I looked at the photo of the jade beast while eating.

At present, all the clues are broken, and only these red jade beasts with eyes that resemble dust beads remain. It seems that the next step is to go to Yunnan to find the tomb of King Xian, if you are lucky, you can pour out the phoenix gall, and you can find one or two related clues at best.

But the most difficult thing is how to find this tomb of the king, I only know that it is probably in Yunnan, on the bank of the Lancang River - the Lancang River is long, you can't turn over the ground, and look for it one kilometer at a time.

Shirley Yang asked me, "Don't you often boast that you are proficient in dividing gold and fixing points?" Where is it difficult to get you in such a small situation, you can find it when you go to the river and look up at the stars in the sky, which you often say. ”

I smiled wryly, "My aunt, it's not that simple." Fenjin Dingxue can only be used in areas where there are no undulating earthlines, and I have been to Yunnan when I was fighting on the front line, and the mountainous plateaus account for more than 90 percent of the entire area of Yunnan. Yunnan has three major water systems, in addition to the Jinsha River and the Nu River, there is the Lancang River, which runs through the whole province from north to south. Moreover, the topography is complex and changeable, starting from the north in the Hengduan Mountains, and there are countless branches of the mountain range. If we don't have a specific goal, even if we have the secret art of feng shui, I'm afraid we won't be able to find it for a hundred years. ”

Shirley Yang said to me, "It's so rare, why did you start saying such discouraged words, it seems that this time it is really difficult." ”

I said to her, "I'm not discouraged. I think we can summarize our current situation - confidence is not sure - confidence is always enough, but now there is no certainty at all, and there is no way to find a needle in a haystack. We can go back to Beijing first, find everyone in total, and then find as much information as possible, even if we are 30% sure, it is better than 10% at all. ”

The blind man suddenly interjected: "Two male mothers, listening to this, do you want to go to Yunnan to fight?" The old man advises you to die as soon as possible. thought that when the old man and other Xieling wrestlers wanted to go to Yunnan to offer the king's fight in order to plot this great wealth, they didn't expect that the place was dangerous, and they lost six lives in vain; Only the old man was lucky to get rid of it with his real kung fu, and this pair of tricks was left in Yunnan. Looking back now, I still have palpitations in my heart. ”

The blind man's usual words sounded in my ears like a thunderclap in June, and I sprayed him with the food in my mouth: "What did you just say? Have you been to Yunnan to find the tomb of King Xian? If you are untruthful and have half a lie, we will leave you down and not take you into Beijing. ”

The blind man wiped his face and said, "What kind of man is the old man, how can he speak falsely." The old man once poured the bucket of the King of Dian in Lijiashan in Yunnan, but it was a little late, and the Ming weapons in the bucket were all lost by the predecessors. In addition to a piece of human thigh bone in the tomb, only half of the map of the ancient Dian Kingdom made of human skin remained, but the handwriting was also blurred. The old man has always been a thief, and there is no reason not to take such ill-gotten gains, so he took the sheep out of the hand immediately. Later, in Suzhou, a local craftsman who repaired ancient calligraphy and paintings was invited to wipe it with ice vinegar 16 times, and finally the human skin map (stone lane) was in good condition. Who knows if you don't look at it, it turns out that this picture is the location of the tomb of the king. ”

Shirley Yang said to the blind man: "King Xian separated from the Dian Kingdom with a group of people, and migrated far away to the mountains to escape the world, how can there be a map of the tomb of the King of Dian in the tomb?" Don't lie to us. ”

The blind man said, "The old man has something to say. These two countries were originally one family, and it is said that the king chose a treasure of feng shui, and was buried there after his death, and that place had a very special environment, and it was never possible to be overturned. Think what kind of heroes the Tang Dynasty and Han Wu are, they shocked the Quartet before their deaths, and after death, they were inevitably beaten upside down, and the corpses were trampled on - since ancient times, the royal family attaches great importance to the afterlife, and is most afraid of being beaten upside down. After the death of King Xian, his people fell apart, and some people wanted to return to their homeland, so they drew a map of the location of the tomb of King Xian and presented it to the King of Dian, claiming that he could also choose this kind of good cave for the King of Dian. These things are recorded on the back of this human skin map, but presumably that kind of treasure cave was not selected later, otherwise how could the old man pour out this human skin map. ”

The blind man took out a bag of things from his bosom and opened it to reveal an ancient map made of leather. Although it has been restored, it is still very blurry, and the mountains and rivers in the picture are faintly recognizable.

The blind man said: "It's not the old man who bluffs the two of you, this picture of the old man has been with him for many years, and he never shows people on weekdays. However, the old man has a word of persuasion, you see that there is a blank place in the worm valley in this picture, there are many strange things there, like the tiger's den in Longtan, let you have three heads and six arms, King Kong Arhat reincarnated, into the worm valley, and there is no return. ”
