Chapter Twenty-Eight: All Towers

This is also strange, it is already amazing that a corpse can be kept in the air for thousands of years without decaying, but when the ghost leaves the dried corpse, it can turn into a pile of powder in just a few seconds, I don't know why. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It seems that if it weren't for those Yin Spirits, I'm afraid this corpse would have turned to ashes a long time ago." That's when my dad sighed.

I asked him what he meant by that, and we all looked at my dad.

"This ghost is not limited to this place, remember the ice coffin in your grandfather's diary?" My dad said.

"Yes." I nodded, and immediately reacted again, "You mean the beauty in the ice coffin?" ”

"I think so, because I've seen it in other tombs before, but it's only flashed before my eyes, and it's never been as clear as it is today, and it's even more strange that the ghost is still smiling at us." Saying this, my father looked at the dust on the ground and continued, "Just like Tianming said, these ghosts will go to Elysium! Maybe it was Tianming who released the corpse from the wooden door, and they were relieved. ”

Tianming heard my father say this, and said happily: "I'll just say yes, it's right to read more!" ”

"Leave that ghost alone, we can't afford to lose time, let's see what else there is!" The second uncle forked.

"Hmm!" We all arrived, and I continued to turn around and walk towards the aisle I had just taken, and the tower was not very wide, and the aisle began to get narrower as I walked.

China's tower is generally composed of the underground palace, the tower base, the tower body, the top of the tower, and the tower sha, there was no tower building in the Spring and Autumn Period, so the tower we are in is not a tower in the standard sense, because it does not have a dungeon, the tower is not standard, and the tower built with the bones above our heads is more like a cage, but the shape is too close to the tower.

The earliest tower in China also appeared in the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty (67 AD), in today's Nangong City, Xingtai, Hebei Province, located in Putong Temple, also called Putong Tower, which is already the earliest tower building in China that can be verified.

As for the tower we are in, I wonder where this witch king learned this way of building, ancient India? Western regions? I don't know, I have a little fear of this Witch Spirit King in my heart, he can master such an advanced construction method, I don't know what other tricks he has.

After wandering around the tower for a while, I found that there was a room on the north side of the passageway, and there were some bamboo slips in it, which were placed on the wooden frame against the wall, and the wooden frame was somewhat rotten.

Bamboo slips are writing tools from the Warring States period to the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it is even more certain that the Wuling King is in the Spring and Autumn Period.

I found that the house here was about to call my father when they came to see, I turned around and found that the master had been following me, and scared me, it seems that my father really handed me over to the master, I was also drunk, this master followed me silently, but the granite under the tower is uneven, how to say that there will be a certain friction sound when walking, but the master has no sound.

Of course, I didn't bother too much, just follow it, the master also saw the bamboo slips in the back room, and gave up a place for me to go out, so I called my father and them over.

Soon all of us were gathered in this room, and there were hundreds of bamboo slips on the wooden shelves, and there were hundreds of them, and I don't know what was recorded.

The second uncle walked over and picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the wooden shelf, and found that there were some wooden slips next to it. Bamboo slips are also called bamboo slips, and at the same time, wooden slips are also called wooden slips, and what is written on them are knives and pens (words carved with knives), and those knives and pens are mostly big seals except for some Jin characters, but the age is too long, and the handwriting on them has basically been blurred.

I also casually read a few volumes, and found that they were all recorded about the Jingguan Tower, and some were the rituals and rules of sacrifice, and when I read one of the volumes, I found that most of these bamboo and wooden scrolls were rosters, recording many names, and the names probably belonged to these bones in the tower, but I couldn't fully recognize these big seals, and those Jin characters were even more helpless.

And there are at least a thousand rolls of bamboo and wooden slabs in the house here, I really can't imagine how many dead souls are recorded on it, and when I think of the Witch Spirit King's ability to summon the souls, the cruelty of the Witch Spirit King is completely beyond my imagination.

"Abu, what are you doing?" At this time, the second uncle looked at Abu who was standing quietly on the side, and we also looked over with the second uncle's voice, only to see that Abu was carrying these bamboo slips there.

"If you don't take it for nothing, these bamboo slips should be worth a lot of money!" Abu replied happily.

"Money, money, money. I don't care about the money, I don't know how we get out, and I'm still thinking about what kind of money, just take a few of them, you can't take them all out, the main tomb of the witch king hasn't been found yet, so the back package is so full, how can we find the exit without leaving this tower, those nine-toothed scaly fish are still waiting here to eat your meat? The second uncle said helplessly.

Abu listened to it and felt that it made sense, it was useless to bring too much, he didn't do this stupid thing of making money without spending money, and immediately took a few rolls of bamboo and wooden slips from his backpack and put them back, his backpack really contained too many things.

There is nothing left in this tower except for some side chambers, which are used to put bamboo and wooden rafts, although these bamboo and wooden rafts can indeed have a good price in the market, but we are completely unable to bring these things back now.

There is a body of water in the middle of the cliffs on both sides of the tower, and the road behind is blocked again, and you have to find a way to clean up the group of nine-toothed scaly fish, which is really a headache.

"We'll have to find out if there's anything in this tower that can cross the river. It's better to float easily, we have to climb the cliff over there as quickly as possible, this tomb of the Witch King is too big. I'm afraid that only by going up to that cliff will we be able to find a new exit. The second uncle instructed.

"In that case, don't be verbose, let's find it quickly!" My dad said, "We're going to have to look for it on the top floor." ”

"Yes." We nodded in response, in fact, we also have another way, which is to dismantle these wooden frames, and then put together a simple boat, and row to the opposite cliff, after all, the cliffs on both sides are about the same distance from the tower, as long as we don't expose ourselves to the water, it won't emit any smell, and then we can try to avoid those nine-toothed scalyfish.

We continued to walk up the stone stairs to the higher floor, and now we were already the tower made of bones, and when we looked up, we saw only a head facing you, which made people's scalps tingle and sink into the bones, and the first layer of bones was empty, and we could already see the top layer through the gap in the bones.

The top floor seems to be very small, more like it was built as a spire, I don't know what is inside, the shape of the top of the tower is built like a big box, before we saw on the cliff that there are several serpentine rafters around the top of the tower, the shape is like a "spirit" word, but the area is not like what we see now.

Now we can understand that the spire is the top floor, but it can only be seen inside, and the reason why the tower layer built of bones can support the top floor is because the top floor only has a large box, and then the outside is covered with a wooden cover that blocks the view, so it looks like the area of other tower floors is about the same size, but as soon as you enter the fourth floor, the fifth and sixth floors will appear in front of you.

Although we have walked up, but the master is still the same, kicking his legs, towards the stone ladder and bounced up, where is still like a normal person, I began to wonder if there is any god in this world, if I am not used to it, but I really believe in his evil.

I looked at the coffins, and none of them were placed on the ground, all of them were vertically leaning against the wall, and I couldn't tell where the head was and where the tail was, that is to say, if there were people inside, then this person was also standing in it, and I really don't know what strange custom it was to put people standing in the coffin.

But after thinking about it carefully, this tower is not a burial chamber, maybe these coffins are not used to hold the dead at all, but a way of sacrifice, recall that from the first floor, and then to the two layers above our heads now, except for the top box we don't know what it is, the rest is also clear.

In order to make things as clear as possible, we had to open the coffins, and when we had discussed them, we were ready to open them, and when the coffins were opened, everything seemed to be not so simple, and the coffins were empty.

That's when we seemed to understand something! This tower is used to record the life of a person!
