Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Bronze Box
"Each floor of this tower seems to represent a stage in the life of the Witch King!" The second uncle guessed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The second uncle now said my thoughts, compared to the usual tower, it is indeed quite strange to build a tower in this way, from the first floor there is nothing, and then to the second floor of the things used in life, the third floor has a big gap, connecting the second layer of the sacrificial giant ding, and the place is some documents and the like, the fourth layer has become a coffin place, and then above is a dense human bones, as for the things in the box, we have not yet known.
"But how do you divide this? Six stages? "I wondered, although I understood that this Jingguan Pagoda might be used to represent the life experience of the Wuling King, but I really didn't know how to explain the meaning of the tower layer.
"The first layer is empty, it should represent the Witch Spirit King before he entered the world, the second layer has living things, that is, the matter of starting a family after entering the dust, the third layer may represent his career in the Jin Kingdom, the fourth layer is like his old age, preparing a coffin, and the white bone layer on top should be after entering the earth, if I guess correctly, the top box should be the representative of the Witch Spirit King after his ascension, but I don't know what is in that box, this is still the old truth: 'Death is like life'" The second uncle looked up at the box at the top of the tower and said.
"Take it down and take a look!" Abu said from the side.
"You're going to get it? Can you take it down so high? Those bones can't hold your weight. The second uncle replied.
But at this moment, we suddenly heard a bone click, and thought that someone had stepped on the bone again, and suddenly a figure appeared above us, and we realized that it was the sound of the bones used in the construction of the upper layer.
"Hey, why is this figure so familiar?" When we came back to our senses, we thought we had met a ghost again, but when we looked closely, the figure turned out to be a young master.
It turned out that when we were talking, the master had jumped on it for some time, but the man who was eight meters old was sweating, how could these bones withstand his weight, and at a glance, the young man was really like a bird in a cage bouncing in that layer of tower.
It turned out that when the master heard us say that he didn't know the contents of the box, he had already jumped up, and those human bones were connected one by one, forming many hollows in the middle, like a huge birdcage, with many holes on it, and after a while, I saw the master quickly climb to the top of the tower along those holes.
Those human bones are shaky, I'm really worried that the human bones can't stand the weight of the master suddenly collapsed, so it will be troublesome to fall under the tower, if you fall into the tower, you will fall on the stone slab, it hurts to think about it, and if you fall in the water, there are still a lot of nine-toothed scaly fish waiting to eat your meat, and you can't help but feel a little crispy when you think about it.
But at the moment, he immediately changed his thinking, the person above is a master, how could he fall, it is not a master if he falls, if he sees our expression at this time, I think he will think in his heart: "You can worry, if you fall, I will lose!" ”
I saw that the master quickly climbed to the top of the tower, and actually lifted the small box with one hand, but no matter what, it was very laborious to raise the box with only one hand, and the arm of the master was really worthy of the legendary unicorn arm, and one hand could hold the box steadily.
We stayed where we were and didn't move, my eyes were fixed on the master and I didn't blink, and those bones were dangling, I was really afraid that they would suddenly break and fall and insert themselves into us.
After the master took off the box, Abu couldn't help but sigh: "This strength is used skillfully." At this time, the master has come back along the same road, the difference is that the master can only grasp the bones with one hand and hold the box with the other hand, and those human bones have become more unstable because of the increase in weight.
Finally, under our gaze, the master quickly jumped down from the layer of human bones, fortunately, those human bones were not affected in any way, they were still close together, I really can't imagine that if those human bones collapsed, we might be buried in the human bones.
When he put the box in his hand on the ground, it brought up a puff of dust, and we looked at it, what kind of wooden box was this, which was obviously a box made of bronze.
This bronze box has to be the size of half an adult, Abu wanted to carry the bronze box to a high place before opening it, but he couldn't move the slightest bit when he used all the strength to eat, but we obviously saw that the young master took off the box with only one hand.
Abu looked at us with some embarrassment, and then relieved his muscles and bones, ready to lift the bronze box again, and then Abu slammed his hand between the floor and the box, and began to try again.
When Abu lifted the bronze box, I could clearly see the beads of sweat on Abu's forehead, and it seemed that he really tried his best, but the bronze box still didn't give Abu face, and he didn't move.
Tianming looked at Abu's embarrassed appearance and laughed, and said, "Is it so exaggerated? I saw that the master took it off all the time, you are exaggerating! ”
Originally, Abu was already very depressed at this time, and said impatiently to Tianming: "I really can't hold it, why don't you come and hug it?"
Seeing that Abu didn't seem to be lying, Tianming immediately pretended again: "Forget it, give you a face, so as not to hurt your self-esteem by being picked up by me." ”
But as soon as Tianming finished speaking, the master seemed to understand what we meant, and lifted the bronze box with one hand and put it on the wooden shelf not far away.
"Don't look at it, you don't know who the master is!" Seeing Abu's lost appearance, the second uncle persuaded.
It is said that the master is sometimes quite naughty, this time seeing that Abu couldn't lift the bronze box, he ignored Abu's feelings, and hit Abu again and again, as if saying to Abu: "You can't!" Let me do it! ”
After all, a person like Abu who loves to pretend and is afraid of pretending to fail must give him a little bit of power, lest we have to watch him dangling in front of us at any time and causing some unnecessary trouble.
But now we have to study the bronze box, and say that it is a box, because it has a bronze top cover on it, and a ring head on it, which is used to uncover, and it seems that it contains something.
"How do you open this box?" Tianming looked at the well-sealed bronze box and said, and then tried to lift the ring head at the top of the box, but he couldn't open it.
"Don't bother with it, do you think what you put on top of this tower will be something ordinary? You said open it, open it? Then this witch king is not very faceless. The second uncle came out at this time and interjected, "Let's see if there is any secret grid on this box first!" ”
When I heard the second uncle say this, I immediately added: "No! "Actually, I have observed it since the master put the box on the ground, and no matter how they messed with the box in the middle, my attention has never been taken away from the box.
When the second uncle heard me say this, he said unconvincedly: "No! So what is this ring head for? So my father and I carefully observed the top and bottom of the box, and found that there was indeed no secret grid, so I gave up.
My father saw that there was no hidden compartment in the box to open this cover, and said in surprise: "Strange, there is indeed no hidden compartment, so this ring head is not redundant, do we want to smash it open?" But it's a pity for this box. ”
As soon as my father finished speaking, I saw the master walk over, rolled up his sleeves and put his hands on both sides of the box, I saw that the master may have a way to open the box, and hurriedly replied: "I don't think it maybe, this box can be opened." ”
The master concentrated for a moment, and then slapped his hands on both sides of the box, and patted back and forth four or five times, the wooden frame could not withstand the strength of the master, so he stopped his waist and broke, and the box fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up bursts of dust.
After the bronze box landed, the master once again put his hand on the box, this time the difference was that the position of the slap was around the ring head, not the box body, and the last one was directly slapped on the ring head, only to see that the ring head was directly out of the top of the cover under the power of the master and flew out from the side.
When the ring head flew out, the top cover creaked from where the ring head was to open to both sides, revealing the contents of the box in the middle.
The moment the box was opened, we all breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that the middle of the bronze box was solid, all filled with bronze, no wonder Abu couldn't lift it just now, it turned out to be for this reason.
And in the middle of the solid center, there was a circular groove, and in the groove was a sparkling purple gold bead.
