Chapter 47: The Ninety-Five Phalanx

The temperature in the ice palace is very low, and the corpses can be kept in it for a long time, forty years will not make the corpses become like this, and the face of this corpse is quite strange and terrifying, as if it was extremely painful when it died, its facial features were distorted, and the fingers of both hands were stiff and bent like ghost claws, and it should be struggling before dying.

"What is this?" The palace lord pointed to the top of the corpse's head.

There was a round hole the size of a little finger on the head of the corpse, and I brushed the dry hair of the corpse with my hand, and was shocked to find that such a round hole actually circled the corpse's head, and there were dark red blood stains around the hole, and something should have penetrated the skull.

I took the pen out of my bag and slowly slipped through the hole, the corpse's skull empty, with no atrophied brains.

"That's not right, the temperature here is extremely low, like a closed ice room, the blood should be coagulated and preserved after death, the brain will atrophy but not decay, why is there nothing in the brain of this corpse." I said in surprise.

Tian Ji examined the corpse and found that the internal organs of the corpse were still there, and after turning the corpse over, we were horrified that there was a hole in the back of the corpse's neck, just before the spine and brain.

"This person's death is too bizarre and weird, these wounds don't seem to be man-made, what killed him?" The palace lord looked around nervously.

"It seems that this place is unusual, everyone be careful." I stood up and said.

"Come and have a look." Han Jin half-knelt in front of him, turned his head and shouted in a low voice.

We walked over and saw that Han Jin and the others' flashlights were shining on the ground, and red blood stains appeared in the light, spreading all the way forward, more and more, until in the end, these blood stains were even a shocking pool of blood in the city.

I heard the sound of the field pheasant squirming Adam's apple, it was already cold in the ice room, and these blood stains on the ground made our hearts even more panicked and cold, we carefully followed these blood stains and slowly moved forward, and suddenly saw a pair of feet in the light, and everyone's guns were raised and waiting.

No one expected to see people standing here, I slowly moved the flashlight upwards, it was a burly body, wearing armor and holding a bronze sword, we were relieved, we found in the ice palace are all ice sculpture warriors, it is the first time to see the stone figurines.

When we got closer, we were shocked to find that there was not only one stone figurine here, the entire ice room was full of such stone figurines, evenly spaced from each other, all of them held their heads high, and they stood majestically, extremely majestic and majestic, and what was even more shocking was that the faces of these stone figurines were different, lifelike like an army ready for battle, which reminded me of the famous terracotta warriors.

Although they are inferior to the terracotta warriors in terms of size and quantity, the stone figurines here are more realistic, and the only pity is that these stone figurines are closed eyes.

"These stone figurines are so strangely distributed." The field chicken walked around the stone figurines in front of us and came back. "I counted it just now, there are three people horizontally and vertically, and nine people form a phalanx."

"There's still such a phalanx ahead." Han Jin's people said on the other side.

Han Jin asked his men to disperse and check these phalanxes, and the people who came back after a long time told us that the arrangement of these stone figurines phalanxes was regular, a group of nine people in a phalanx arranged in a horizontal row, a row composed of nine phalanxes, a total of five such horizontal arrays, the squares were neatly spaced and evenly spaced, strict and orderly, and invulnerable.

"In this way, there are eighty-one stone figurines in the horizontal row, and there are five such horizontal rows, so there are a total of four hundred and five stone figurines here, why do you arrange so many stone figurines, and does this number have any meaning?" Tian Ji asked puzzled.

"Four hundred and five stone figurines......" The palace lord thought about it for a long time and shook his head. There are nine horizontal squares, a total of five such horizontal rows, why did you choose such a number? ”

"Nine horizontally, five vertically." I frowned and slowly opened my mouth. "Ninety-five?!"

"What's Ninety-Five?" Tian Ji asked.

In Zhou Yi's sixty-four hexagrams, the first hexagram is the Qianhexagram, which symbolizes the sky, so it has become a hexagram representing the emperor.

Counting from the bottom up, the fifth line is called ninety-five, because the yang energy is strong to the sky, so the hexagram is like a flying dragon in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adult.

It is said that if the saint has dragon virtue and soars and occupies the heavenly position, the ninth five-year plan generally refers to the emperor's throne.

"The specifications of the stone figurines here are arranged according to the number of ninety-five, does it mean that the owner of the Kunlun Golden Gate is an emperor?!" I rubbed my head in disbelief.

"What does Zhou Yi's hexagram have to do with this? Zhou Yi only appeared during the Zhou Dynasty, you said that the age here is much earlier than the Zhou Dynasty, and when the Kunlun Golden Gate was built, the Zhou Dynasty had not yet appeared. Tian Ji was puzzled.

"Don't forget, we saw Luo Shu below, you must know that Bagua evolved from Luo Shu, and Zhou Yi is just a continuation of Bagua." Gong Jue said.

Han Jin was not interested in any of this, and pointed to the stone figurines and said that his people had already examined the stone figurines in detail, and almost every stone figurine was found stained with dark red blood, and he wanted to know why?

"Bloodstains?" I hurriedly looked around the stone figurines in front of me, and sure enough, there was blood on them. "This ...... This is human martyrdom! ”

Han Jin's face was moved when he heard this, and he asked me what human martyrdom is, and I replied in shock, this is a very cruel burial system, which is to use the living to bury the dead together, especially in the Xia and Shang periods, there were a large number of people martyred in the tombs of nobles.

However, there are also tomb owners who are in high positions and power, but they can't bear to be buried with living people, so they use wooden, terracotta or stone figurines instead, and smear human blood on them.

"Such a majestic palace, what are some stone figurines doing with human martyrdom, so unlucky." Tian Ji looked around with a disgusted expression. "The owner of the Golden Gate is too unsophisticated."

"Yes, it's a good majestic ice palace, and it's too beautiful to put some bloody stone figurines." The palace lord was also a little puzzled.

"Stone figurines of human martyrdom...... I was stunned for a moment, took a few steps back, and looked at these neatly arranged phalanx stone figurines, and was immediately dumbfounded. No one would release a martyred stone figurine in a palace, unless ...... Unless Kunlun Jinque is a mausoleum?! ”

Everyone turned to look at me in shock, looking a little disbelieving.

"Mausoleum?" The palace lord looked around in surprise. "The entire Kunlun Jinque is a mausoleum...... This mausoleum is also too ...... It's too big! ”

This is not only a mausoleum, but also a mausoleum of an emperor in the way of martyrdom, when the gold lord asked Han Jin to bring us here, I haven't figured it out, I'm still good at exploring tombs, but a palace site doesn't need us at all.

Now I understand that the gold lord knew from the beginning that Kunlun Jinque was a mausoleum, which is why we came here, but if this is the emperor's mausoleum, I can't think of who the tomb owner here will be.

Gong Jue said that no matter whether Kunlun Jinque is a mausoleum or not, there is nothing else in this ice room where we are currently located except for these amazing number of stone figurines, but the ice corpse we found before is dead bizarre and weird, it is better to be careful, don't stay here and leave as soon as possible.

"What is there to be afraid of with some stones." Tian Ji knocked on the stone figurine disapprenously.

Ah.

Tian Ji's hand retracted, and a not shallow wound on the palm of his hand was oozing blood, and the bronze sword in the hands of those stone figurines was already extremely sharp, and it was easy to cut Tian Ji.

Tian Ji scolded a bad breath, but soon laughed again: "Bronze, this is a thousand years old, and it may be sold for a good price if you take it out." ”

After speaking, he went to get the bronze sword in the hand of the stone figurine, and who knew that he picked up the hand of the stone figurine.

"It's amazing, this stone figurine is really realistic, and your hands can still move."

Tian Ji turned around and held the hand of the stone figurine, and said to us happily that the hand of the stone figurine moved up and down under the lifting of Tian Ji.

"That's not right...... This hand is too realistic. Tian Ji turned his back to the stone figurine, and lowered his head and looked down on the stone figurine's hand. Why doesn't it look like a stone? ”

When I shined on my flashlight, I found that the hand was not like an ordinary stone carving, not only the five fingers were carved vividly, but even the tendons and veins on the arms were also detailed, and even the finger joints could be bent!

Curved......

Tian Ji was interested in holding the stone figurine's fingers, I was stunned and slowly moved the flashlight up, shining on the face of the stone figurine, and was shocked to see the stone figurine's eyes suddenly opened, and the dark and chaotic eyes stared at the back of Tian Ji's head.

This is not a stone figurine at all, but a real person, thousands of years guarding in the golden gate is still alive, except for Tian Ji did not notice, everyone was silent, I didn't dare to remind Tian Ji loudly, for fear that the movement would be too big to alarm the samurai behind him, Tian Ji didn't realize it at all.
