Chapter 121: 5-10 Lingering Hatred
The rule of Zhenguan is inherited on the top, and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty is connected below.
Even if the history books don't admit it, everyone who reads history knows that Wu Zetian did play an indelible role in the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, the history books of the millennium patriarchal society of future generations would have ignored her long ago, and even written as a devil-like villain.
"But history has also recorded what she did to her own flesh and blood," Li Yiji's words looked particularly gloomy in the cold light of the tomb, "She is good at power and skill, and likes to kill people with a knife, simply put, my ancestor was a prince who was forced to death by his mother, and the princess was cut off her hands and feet to make a human being, but Wu Meiniang, the mother, did not find out that the prince had an illegitimate child, protecting the prince's bloodline, and a few people fled to the wilderness, thousands of years have passed, and a bloodline of the year has become a legendary family." It is no exaggeration to say that we are a clan that survives by resentment against the old witch, and hates this one person, deep in the bone marrow. ”
The leopard walked behind Coco and pouted, "The main thing is that each generation starts to instill these things when they are young. ”
"Uncle...... Those stories were all years ago, you ......."
"Doesn't that seem a little ridiculous?" The uncle looked back at Coco, and then raised his eyes to look at the various ancient stone carvings on the stone wall, "The hatred that is more than 1,300 years ago, what's the big deal, isn't it?" ”
Coco didn't answer, no one answered.
"Why can you understand the hatred left by the war a hundred years ago, but the hatred of a thousand years feels inexplicable?"
Indeed, Coco walked slowly along the stone path, and what could be more than hatred, which could be passed down from generation to generation across time?
————————————————————
How long the four of them walked in the tomb, Coco couldn't tell, although she didn't understand the pattern of the tomb, but she also knew that she had walked to the most important main room of the tomb, behind the narrow stone passage was a relatively large stone room, and in the middle of the room was a large sarcophagus, which should be where the owner of the tomb was. She raised the cold light source in her hand, raised her eyes to observe the surroundings, the stone wall is no longer a cold stone carving, but a slightly colored mural, these cultural relics in the eyes of archaeologists are not changed, in her eyes is just a wall of many small people and galloping horses, a little walking, there is a sound of rubbing under her feet, slowly raise her feet to look down, a piece of pottery that has been trampled into powder shows the pattern of the sole of her shoes.
…… I didn't see anything, but Coco said to herself silently, and followed in the footsteps of the man in front of me.
The uncle, the leopard and the soldier gathered on the back wall of the room, and Coco leaned up and saw a stone block that was different from the mural, in the middle of the stone wall, with many small stone bars raised horizontally and vertically, and the uncle seemed to be explaining to the leopard how to move the stone bars, and there were some archaeological terms that Coco didn't understand at all, and the more she listened, the more she didn't understand, she simply gave up, straightened up and looked around.
The figure of the child appeared in the field of vision at this moment.
The young body, standing straight behind the right side of the sarcophagus, only more than two meters away from Coco's position, wearing bright costumes, like costumes in TV dramas, the child's skin is bluish, the skin color on the face seems to be uneven, and the big black eyes are staring at her intently, fearless, and even a little bit of a feeling of wanting to say something.
Coco opened her mouth, and for a moment she didn't know if she wanted to scream more or say something foul.
"Uncle... Uncle ......" Coco shouted as she stared at the child, fearing that if she diverted her gaze, the child would disappear from her eyes.
When the three uncles all turned to look in the direction of Coco's gaze, Coco heard the sound of the cold light stick in the leopard's hand falling to the ground, and the hissing sound of the uncle gasping for cold air, but she calmed down, at least she didn't have a bad brain and saw a hallucination. She carefully looked at the child from top to bottom, the soles of his feet were like Coco's stepping on pieces of broken artifacts, so that Coco was sure that he was seeing a living person, the child's face was blue, and his lips were grayish, which at first glance did look like a character in a horror movie.
The child who seemed to have crawled out of a horror movie slowly raised his right hand and made a spine-chilling gesture at the four stunned adults.
A small palm across the neck, a wipe.
The leopard sat on the ground, and he didn't care at all about the sound of the pottery shards shattering.
Uncle suddenly froze, this action of wiping his neck reminded him of those fake Qing Palace TV series, only children who have watched too many TV series will learn to do that kind of action, this guy is not an ancient corpse of the Tang Dynasty, he is a modern child, "Don't move, I ......" Before the uncle's words were finished, as soon as the wind passed by beside him, the army had already let out a low and angry roar and rushed towards the child.
The flower clothes turned around and disappeared around the corner of the stone passage at the entrance to the room.
Junzi rushed out, forcing his uncle and Coco to follow him, stepping on pieces of cultural relics, Coco didn't care if he had destroyed any ruins, and chased him to the corner, where his uncle and Junzi were chasing in the stone road one after the other, and suddenly the flower clothes in front of him stopped, and turned his head to look at them.
"Don't chase the army!" The uncle's roar was particularly shocking in the stone road.
Junzi's footsteps stopped abruptly, his uncle took two steps forward, slowly bent down, a thin silk thread reflected the light in front of his eyes, he signaled to step back, took out a knife and threw it out to cut off the filament.
The stone path ahead suddenly fell, becoming a swarthy hollow.
"Trap ......" Coco was still amazed by the wisdom of the ancients, and his uncle and the soldier raised their eyes and found that the flower clothes were no longer in sight.
"Where is he going to run for such a little time......" Keke was still puzzled, only to see Junzi pointing to the carvings on both sides of the stone wall, and there were several carvings like tomb beasts on the left and right, "Dark Dao," Uncle took over the conversation, "Damn, this kid is really familiar with the secret passage here, let's leave this burial tomb first." ”
Turning around and almost bumping into the leopard that caught up, the group of four people quickly ran to the back of the main room, and the uncle easily fiddled with the small stone bar on the stone carving while explaining, "There's no time, I'll open it directly, you can see the leopard clearly." Leopard and Coco watched as he turned the horizontal and vertical strips into the shape of a Chinese character.
Tso
"Wu Cong, after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he asked Buddhism to give him a name." Uncle kept fiddling with the mechanism in his hand and said.
"Wu Zetian believes in Buddhism?" Coco asked.
"Isn't it weird? When Wu Zetian climbed Mount Tai, he also sent someone to wrap the branches blocking the road with silk silk, instead of cutting off the branches to open the way, she is such a person, murder and compassion, all in one. ”
"Old thief Li, don't talk about it, okay? Hurry up, hurry up. The leopard urged him to look back behind him from time to time, lest he see anything else that shouldn't be there.
"Leopard, no matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for Xiao Coco to walk through that magic path and break the forbidden spell before you can pass, are you in a hurry to come out?" When the uncle's words fell, the characters composed of stone strips were embedded in the stone wall by themselves, as if someone had pressed them, and Coco could hear the sound of some stones rubbing between the stones in the wall and soil, as if they were hoarse and powerful from ancient times.
The stone wall turned into a stone gate and slowly sank.
Suddenly, from a distance, it began to emit a warm orange light, getting closer and closer, until it reached the foot in front of him, it turned out to be two ditches paved with oil, after the door opened, it seemed to trigger the ignition mechanism, the orange dark fire burned all the way, becoming a flame line on both sides of the road, Coco's eyes were a stone path sandwiched in the middle by the firelight, every stone slab on the road had a strange symbol, different from any symbol he had ever seen, the symbol on the stone slab under his feet looked like calligraphy but not Chinese characters, and each stroke was strong and powerful.
Coco wanted to ask a question, but when she raised her eyes, she realized that everyone else was looking at her, "This is ...... The Devil's Way? ”
The uncle put his hand on Coco's shoulders and forced her to meet his eyes, "Little Coco, listen carefully to me, this road, under your feet is a long-lost gossip array, and then the channels on both sides are not only burning grease, but also emitting some kind of hallucinogen-like ingredients, so, although this road is just a road lit only by stones and flames, but you may see all kinds of terrifying things and things, you have to remember that those are from your subconscious fear, not real, don't believe it, don't believe it... …”
"Wait! What did you say? Coco's mind suddenly felt like she had been pumped.
"I said don't believe ......"
At that time, in the carved gold coffin of the princess of the Han Dynasty, Coco was groggy and dreaming of darkness, and her sister's voice lingered in her ears like a spell in her dreams.
Yet...... Don't believe it...... Don't believe it......
Sister.
"Uncle...... What will I see? Coco asked, staring at the stone road in front of him.
Li Yiji sighed lightly, "You may see the deceased, or some terrifying demons and monsters, in short, what are you afraid of, it's best to control yourself and don't think about it, keep walking, don't think about anything, go all the way to the end, see the stone gate of the word Cao, push it open hard, and it's over." ”
The leopard was already pacing impatiently, the hunting knife in his hand all the time, back and forth.
Junzi also squatted aside, looking at the Demon Dao and Cocoa, with a hint of impatience in his complicated eyes.
"Last question," said Coco, "have you walked this way, uncle?" ”
"I ...... After only a few steps, he retreated back and recuperated at home for a year...... In the family history, only three people walked over, but once someone walked over, the forbidden spell of the Demon Dao would be invalid for three days. ”
Xun Keran looked back at Li Yiji, and his tone was like saying goodbye, "Actually, you don't know if I can walk over, right?" ”
Without waiting for his answer, Coco stepped on the stone tablet engraved with runes.
