We were like figurines in the cave, hung upside down from the trunk of a tree with a safety rope, and the morning light of the jungle dazzled our eyes, and we saw a dark red object in the cracked tree, rectangular in shape, with the two sides of the top split into rounded corners.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the trees, emitting a faint purple halo, what is this *** thing? I struggled to hang the tree with a pickaxe, climbed back to the canopy, and then pulled the shirley Yang up, the fat man was already afraid of heights, hanging on the tree ten meters from the ground, and did not dare to make a big move, he was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, I wanted to put him on the ground with a safety rope, but the fat man said that he did not agree: "Lao Hu, you still pull me to the tree, I have to take a good look at this thing, I think eighty percent can be worth a lot of silver." ”

I had to use all my strength with Shirley Yang to pull the safety rope and assist the fat man to climb back to the canopy, at this time the sky was already bright, standing in the canopy of the old banyan tree more than 20 meters high, looking down, it was really a bit like the abyss, like walking on thin ice.

This time we learned to be obedient, and we dispersed, no longer gathered on the same branch, and watched around the object that emerged from the tree, and the fat man asked me, "Is this a coffin?" Jade or crystal? How is this quirky color? I think this is a bit like the bloodstones we poured in Panjiayuan. ”

I didn't answer the fat man's words, this matter was unexpected, just concentrating on it, only to see the old banyan tree in the middle, revealing most of the transparent coffin like jade and crystal, glossy as a ratio, translucent, the outside is as thin as a cicada wings, is milky white, the inside began to gradually turn red, the more inside the color is darker, as if the inside is full of bright red blood, most of the shell is scattered in the bark of the tree and the vines of various parasitic plants, it is difficult to see its full picture.

We have never seen such a material, and when we look closely, we find that it is made of translucent jade, and there is a layer of crystal stone wrapped in it, and there is a large amount of crimson liquid in it. The liquid was like blood, and judging from the appearance alone, this was a rare jade coffin.

Shirley Yang saw this strange jade coffin, and couldn't help but wonder: "This is clearly the coffin of the deceased, and the material is Tibetan heavenly jade, not Burmese jade produced near Yunnan, but ...... How could there be such a big jade coffin in the tree? That's right...... After covering the dragon mountain, it is already the scope of the tomb of the king. This coffin is likely to be the companion tomb of the main tomb, but why did the coffin grow into the tree? “

The fat man said: "You have to ask Lao Hu, doesn't he always brag that there are no coffins in all the cemeteries in China that he doesn't know, let him explain." ”

I shook my head and said, "You're sorry for me." Since ancient times, when building tombs and tombs, there will be sealed trees, and the trees are built in front of the sealed mound as a symbol of the tomb. makes the mausoleum pattern look like a cute descendant, but I have never seen someone put the coffin in the body of the tree, which is not a system. ”

Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties in China, there has been a theory of feng shui, burying the dead, has always been "negative yang and yin, relying on the mountains and water", how can there be a reason to hang on the tree, and this old tree is located in the jungle behind the "Shalong Mountain". Although the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and fog, it is not clear to see the trend of the dragon vein, but it can be seen from the bottom of the mountain that this mountain only has a single ridge and a single peak, which is a single dragon.

Although the terrain here is high in the east and low in the west, and then it is too lonely, it is a bottomless basin with its hope of peeling off and falling, so this area is by no means a suitable place to place a mausoleum.

What's more, the old tree is the first of the five evils of the yin house, and there are old trees, Dushan, broken streams, bald mountains, and rocks near the left of the burial room, all of which are evil and bad, and must not be buried: there are old trees that grab the wind and seize the air, and there are only mountains that are less entangled and protected, and the main body has no melt and no knots, and the yin and yang situation will clash with each other; If there is a broken stream, the main vein is bitter and the soil is dry, and when the water vein is broken, the vitality is also isolated; If there are chaotic stones and bald anger, and the weir stones are grandiose, then the main is fierce, and there are many disasters caused by the evil spirit of the land; If there is a bald ridge, it is called a slight lifeless place.

However, these places are not vicious places, and it may be more appropriate to build temples and ancestral halls to reconcile the situation, but it is not suitable as a place to bury the dead.

So let alone using a tree as a grave, this completely violates the theory of feng shui situation, what qi veins, mingtang, shuikou, what dragons, caves, sand, water, xiang, etc. Is it really blood? Whose blood would that be?

I walked closer, touched the jade coffin with my fingers, the tentacles were cold and lubricated, it was really a rare piece of jade, and it was even more rare that the whole body was flawless, and it was so big, even the palace was not easy to find such a good jade, the jade coffin was placed horizontally in the middle of the old banyan tree, due to the backlog of the entangled growth of the tree body, and the part of the tree body that supported it fell off, so that the jade coffin that was originally flat in the body of the tree was slightly tilted.

There are a few small cracks in the downward tilting coffin lid and the fuselage, I don't know whether they were hit by the wreckage of the crashed C-type transport plane, or by the long-term squeezing of the twisted and growing old trees, and the full, blood-like liquid in the coffin slowly seeped out along the cracks, and fell on the jade grave bed under the jade coffin.

It was only at this time that we suddenly realized that because the fat man went up the tree for the first time, the weight was too large, which made the jade coffin in the tree slightly tilted, and the dark red liquid like blood in the coffin seeped out of the crack and fell on the tomb below, because there were three or four cracks in the jade coffin, and the location was also far and near, plus the tree was originally closed, so the dripping sound was long and short, and the sound seemed dull, and it was actually heard as a string of signal codes.

On the horizontal surface of the red liquid in the coffin, after being lower than the crack, the signal naturally stopped suddenly, the second time the trunk broke, and the wreckage of the C-type transport plane on the crown fell to the ground, so hard, the jade coffin tilted a little angle, so the red liquid in the coffin urgently needed to seep out, we had a preconceived idea, and we have been taking this sound as a signal, as the so-called cup bow snake shadow, too much suspicion.

But then I thought to myself, could it really be so coincidental? Poop forms a string of death codes, if only by coincidence. That's not a good sign, but hopefully nothing big will happen to us on this trip.

While I was thinking wildly, Shirley Yang used a paratrooper knife to peel off the plant rhizomes on the lid of the jade coffin, put on gloves, and swept the lid of the coffin a few times. On the top of the jade coffin, a lot of finely carved patterns were immediately revealed, and a whole layer was engraved with mandarin ducks, wild geese, rabbits, roe deer, deer, elephants, and other rare birds and beasts that symbolized auspiciousness and spirituality.

The jade coffin is surrounded by carved lotus petals, decorated with diamond-shaped honeysuckle reliefs, and there is a small parrot with a realistic expression in the middle of each side, and the parrot holds a lingzhi in its mouth.

Shirlye Yang looked at it, raised his head and said to me: "The reliefs on these jade coffins, the shape is peaceful and docile, although the form is a little sluggish, but the knife craftsmanship is simple and bright, gorgeous and deep, this form of expression with a high degree of artistic coverage, very close to the ancient style of the Qin and Han dynasties, this should be the tomb of the king, there will be no mistake." ”

The fat man was impatient beside him, rubbed his hands and said: "It doesn't matter what kind of king he is, since this jade coffin has been met by us, it is our creation, first turn it down to see if there is any bright weapon inside, and now that the sky is bright, I am not afraid of any corpse changes inside." ”

I stopped the fat man and said, "Don't be in a hurry, the discount jade coffin is by no means ordinary, it is impossible to grow into the body of a tree for no reason, and you see so much crimson liquid here, it is no different from blood, who dares to guarantee that if you open it, nothing will happen." ”

Shirley Yang used the tip of the paratrooper knife to dip a little dark red liquid that seeped out of the jade coffin, and then sniffed it with the tip of his nose, and said to me and the fat man: "There is no smell of blood, but there is a very strong gas, like Chinese medicine, to look at the jade coffin itself, there is nothing too special, the red liquid in it may be embalmed, and the blame is ...... in the coffin tree." ”

The fat man said: "What is there to make a fuss about, it may be that the seeds of the tree grow under the tomb, and the tree grows bigger and bigger, and finally the rammed earth of the tomb is broken and the coffin inside is pushed out, so this coffin is at the top of the tree. ”

I shook my head and said: "It's unlikely that Xiaopang said, I suddenly thought that this jade coffin doesn't seem to be a quick product, maybe it is filled with people who are located in the Daomen, those magicians outside the square, they think that they are not in the five elements, and they don't have to follow the way of the world to choose the Yin House. I think it is very likely that it is the Mingtang eye point of this coffin, which is the golden well for taking the essence of heaven and earth. Legend has it that the tomb of the king is a unique "water dragon halo" in the world, and the fairy cave in general, where we have not seen it with our own eyes, if it is really as the legend, this tomb should be one of the several stars around the main cave, so it can not be judged only by the situation around this old tree. ”

Shirley Yang felt that my words were more reasonable: "Xianwang advocates the way of witchcraft and evil, and only wants to cultivate immortals, so the important ministers around him are mostly warlocks, and it seems that this tomb is a fairy coffin, but I don't know if the owner inside has become an immortal, if there are really immortals in the world, this jade coffin should be empty now, and the corpse inside is dissolved." ”

The fat man said: "The old beard subordinate took the guy up, I cut down the trunk on the other side, let's see what is in this coffin, it doesn't matter if it is a fairy or a demon, the most important thing is to have a valuable weapon, let's make a good start to it first, I have seen that the old zongzi of the king is not a good bird, take the blind man's words, this is ill-gotten wealth, there is no reason not to take it." ”

Shirley Yang also nodded and said, "There may be some secrets related to the tomb of King Xian, and those information and clues will be of great help to us." ”

I saw that they all wanted to open the coffin, so I went down the tree to touch the "probe claw" and "yin-yang mirror" used by the captain to open the coffin and some other tools, all took up, the rules of touching the gold are to start in the dark, the rooster crows to stop, at this time the sky is already bright, according to the rules of the "Ming instrument" can not be moved, but the coffin investigation investigation is still made, so at this time to use the "yin-yang mirror".

"Yin and Yang Mirror" is an antiquity handed down in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it is a piece of bronze mirror that is more seriously worn, not a circle, but cast into a triangle, symbolizing the three talents of heaven, earth and man, is yang, but yin, the back is cast with "rising coffin fortune", when used, hang in the air with a red line rope, facing the sun, and the seal on the back is aimed at the coffin.

Legend has it that this yin-yang mirror is specially used to open the coffin exposed to the sealed soil of the mound, and the wind of tomb robbery in the Tang Dynasty is the most prosperous, and there is a poem: "The skeleton is half out of the ground, and the white bones are vertical and horizontal." "The description is the Tang Dynasty tomb robbers swept away, the remaining miserable scene in the deserted grave field, in that period, the professional tomb thieves are the most, the means of action are also their own methods, the most popular way to fight the fight, not to rob the hole into the underground palace, but in broad daylight, directly shovel the grave, dig up the sealed soil, drag the coffin out of the underground palace with a rope, open the museum outside, take all the clothes of the owner in the tomb, and then abandon the bones in the wilderness, the yin-yang mirror is a necessary tool used by the tomb robbers of that era, It's not the unique traditional utensils of Captain Touching.

This yin-yang mirror is the relic of Elder Chen, its specific use and function in the hands of Captain Jin, has been largely lost so far, we only know that as a last resort, we need to open the coffin during the day, you can take the yin-yang mirror to shine on the coffin, so as not to have an unclean yin and filthy breath, rush the samadhi true fire on the living person, go back to recite the words.

Today we are going to do things during the day, so we will use it, whether it works or not, let's try it, but when we hung up the yin-yang mirror and prepared to use the probe claw to open the coffin nail, we found that this jade coffin did not have coffin nails, but a drawer type, as the layer of jade plate of the coffin lid, there were extremely tight slots on both sides.

Jade we found the coffin, ready to pull the jade lid out of the coffin, I and the fat man was just about to start, but found that at this moment the sunlight from the sky down, shining on the crystal jade coffin, reflecting a tall human shadow, this shadow is extremely heavy and black, with a head and two shoulders, and the red liquid in the coffin in the dark red formed in the sun, it still looks very eye-catching, and the shadow below the shoulder fat looks a little strange, very wide, as if there are many other things in the coffin, but it is difficult to judge what it is from the shape, It may be an artifact in a burial jade coffin.

I thought to myself that since there is a corpse here, it seems that the deceased has not become an immortal, anyway, in broad daylight, I am not afraid that he will become a zombie, but at this moment, a large thick black cloud floated from nowhere, covering the daylight, the light around immediately dimmed, there was a strong thunder in the sky from time to time, we were attracted by the sudden thunder speed, we all looked up at the sky, I cursed the thief: "Ghost place, dry thunder, no rain." "I thought to myself, don't let Thunder split this old tree, then we'll be pasted together, if not, let's find a place to hide first, and then do things when Thunder stops.

Suddenly, Shirley Yang said on the other side of the jade coffin: "You come and see here, there is a dead man's hand under this coffin, I think that signal may have come from here, not the liquid oozing from the jade coffin." ”

I just wanted to turn around and watch, but found that it was so dark that I couldn't see people clearly, none of us thought that the sky would change, and it would become so fast, in an instant, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the thunder was loud and loud......
