Chapter 25: The Mysterious Token
Before entering the secret passage, Yu Chengyao remembered the envelope that Sandingzi had given him.
He mysteriously gave his belief to himself, and there must be something hidden in it. Yu Chengyao opened the envelope, and inside was some photos.
There are some things on the photo that Yu Chengyao has seen, such as the indentation of the immortal stone tool, the five ghost carrying array charm on the cave wall, etc.
What I hadn't seen was the blood droplets left on the ground, and those blood droplets formed a very large spell, and it took a few chapters of photos to put together the entire blood dripping spell.
After putting them together, Yu Chengyao unexpectedly saw the Five Plagues Soul Locking Array. This turned out to be a Five Plague Soul Locking Array made of blood droplets, what does it mean for this formation to appear in Zhuzi Cave?
Of course, this clue undoubtedly proves that the Tongtian Cult is the mastermind behind the changes in Zhuzi Cave, so the skeleton man should also be made by the Tongtian Cult.
There are a few more chapters of photos, which are in the sarcophagus. Originally, the sarcophagus was not empty, and there were cushions and pillows in it, as well as some forage.
The purpose of this forage is supposed to be to preserve the integrity of the corpse, and the following photo shows some jewelry underneath the mat, gold and silver, and silver stamps from the Qing Dynasty.
The last photo shows a milky white token, which appears to be carved from a piece of jade. There is a dragon pattern around, and a lishu is engraved in the middle, which should be written as a fairy character.
This token should reveal the identity of the skeleton man, but this token does not belong to the government, and Yu Chengyao did not get an answer from Du Niang's side.
However, looking at the specifications and style of the jade plate, it should be from the Qing Dynasty, and he can't determine what period it was in the Qing Dynasty.
The photo only has the front side of the token, not the back side, which makes Yu Chengyao even more unable to determine what kind of identity the token represents.
At this time, Yu Chengyao's heart was fluctuating, and the discovery in the sarcophagus was crucial to this matter, and he still had to find Sandingzi again.
After reading these photos, Yu Chengyao put away the photos and slowly walked towards the secret passage.
Underneath the secret passage is a secret room smaller than the Zhuzi Cave, and the furnishings in the secret room are very simple, with an ordinary wooden table and a Taishi chair, and a bookshelf.
The floor of the chamber is covered with stalls, which are very soft to step on, and there are lamps on the stone walls around it.
It looks like it's been carefully furnished, and it's been done for a long time. The reason why Yu Chengyao was able to confirm that the time was not short was that it was determined from the black smoke on the lampstand.
Whether it is a kerosene lamp or a pine oil lamp, when burned, it produces a black combustible material that floats up with the flame. The stone walls above each lampstand were covered with a thick layer, and even the ceiling overhead was a black layer of soot.
It seems that there were people living here before, but who is this person? Why did he live here?
Yu Chengyao thought about this question and walked to the bookshelf next to him. There are a lot of books on the shelves, all of which are bound with thread. After the reform and opening up, there are fewer and fewer wire-bound books, which can be regarded as antiques.
Yu Chengyao took a copy casually and found that what was recorded on it turned out to be medical knowledge. But the font is Lishu, he doesn't read much, if he hadn't followed the old Lingtou for so many years and knew a few, he really wouldn't have been able to understand this kind of text.
For the ancient seal script, the official script is much simpler and more practical, but for the current simplified characters, the official script is much more complicated.
Yu Chengyao casually flipped through the basics again, some of them were books in traditional characters, but most of them were official books. And these books are all about medical knowledge, because of the font, Yu Chengyao did not see what specific medical knowledge was written.
But Yu Chengyao can be sure at this time that the person who lives here must be a person who understands medical skills. And he is also an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and has even reached an attitude of medical obsession.
Why is he called a medical idiot? Because the more than 300 books on the shelves, without exception, are all medical books.
This pervert, this madman! Yu Chengyao shook his head helplessly, he couldn't determine the identity of the person who lived here.
But what is suspicious is why there was no sarcophagus in the Zhuzi Cave before. And after he and Xiaohai were bombed here that time, this sarcophagus appeared inexplicably!
After the sarcophagus appeared, there was an additional secret room here, which made people feel incredible.
Yu Chengyao frowned and looked around the secret room, he hoped to get something out of this secret room.
Dry inkstones, dry brushes, yellowed paper. All this says that the people who live here have been gone for a long time.
In this way, the Zhuzi Cave was opened a long time ago, and this person hid the entrance of the secret room so deep that no one later discovered that there was a secret room under the Zhuzi Cave.
The sarcophagus should have come out of this secret room, so what does the sarcophagus have to do with the entrance to the secret room?
Yu Chengyao thought about it carefully, and then went back to the entrance of the secret room to take a look. The sarcophagus is supposed to be sent to the entrance of the chamber through a mechanism, which can be seen from the chamber.
is a bracket, and an axle wheel. The bracket should be used to hold the sarcophagus, and the axle wheel is the key switch for the sarcophagus and the exit of the chamber.
From the bottom of the secret room, the sarcophagus should be the door of the secret room, and this door is still a revolving door. The four sides of the sarcophagus are likely to coincide with the ground of the Zhuzi Cave, and this sarcophagus is so appropriately installed.
When the sarcophagus is raised, the bottom of the sarcophagus completely covers the entrance to the chamber. The bracket also just resisted the sarcophagus and slid again, and his own pull just destroyed the mechanism here, forcing the sarcophagus out of its original fixed position.
In this way, this chamber is not just a chamber, it is also a tomb. It seems that the person in the sarcophagus is the owner of the tomb, that is, the owner of this secret room.
He's dead, and he's been dead for a long time. So when was this sarcophagus arranged, and how did the people of the Tongtian Cult find it?
Yu Chengyao's mind is very chaotic now, and so many clues are combined. The secrets hidden in the Zhuzi Cave have become deeper, perhaps those immortal stone tools are not naturally formed at all, but left by the ancients.
What do the people of the Tongtian Cult want those things for? Yu Chengyao was very puzzled, if he wanted to uncover this mystery, maybe only the young master who found the Tongtian Cult, or the so-called black dragon wizard could know this secret.
Yu Chengyao didn't pick up anything in the secret room, he left the secret room and pushed the sarcophagus back.
It seems that he must go to the Tongtian Cult this time, but before he goes to the Tongtian Cult, he must also find Sandingzi to learn about the token in the sarcophagus.
That night, when he arrived at Sandingzi's house, Sandingzi's wife and son were asleep, and he was the only one sitting in the hall watching TV.
But he watched TV but looked absent-minded, and he was startled by the sudden arrival of Yu Chengyao.
"Uncle Sanding!" Yu Chengyao pressed his panicked hand, and then sat down on the chair next to him.
"You're coming to me so late, do you understand the photo?" Sandingzi was very surprised, looking at Yu Chengyao's gaze with an incredible expression.
Yu Chengyao frowned, and Sandingzi seemed to be very interested in the things in the photo. But he didn't know what these things represented, so he took the opportunity to explore himself.
It seems that this Sandingzi wants to use his vision to help him recognize the goods, and a good wishful thinking hit his brother's head.
Although he was a little angry in his heart, Yu Chengyao was not in a hurry to pierce it.
He nodded slowly, "Is that token still there?" ”
"What token?" Sandingzi was in a hurry, waiting to look at Yu Chengyao with a puzzled face.
"That's the token in your photo!" Yu Chengyao took out the photo and put it in front of Sandingzi, who looked at the photo and hesitated.
He pinched his chin, looked up at Yu Chengyao, and said with some embarrassment: "This, this thing is still there, but everything else has been sold to me!" ”
"Sold? I'll you, Uncle Sanding, why are you so stupid? Yu Chengyao immediately trembled with anger, but thought about it carefully. It's not profitable to be early, this Sandingzi has discovered these antiques, can you not be impressed?
Maybe the reason why he joined the mining team was not to investigate any dead people at all, but to find the tomb in Zhuzi Cave before he ran to continue the search!
Yu Chengyao guessed in his heart, and Sandingzi stood up hesitantly. He looked at Yu Chengyao, embarrassed and confused, not knowing whether to take out the token or not.
"Yao, I can tell you. Uncle found this thing first, you can't rob me of something! Sandingzi said with a smile.
Yu Chengyao nodded, with a serious look on his face. Seeing Yu Chengyao nodding, Sandingzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Chengyao's personality was clear to everyone in the village, so he put his mind at ease and approached the back room to take out his things.
It is indeed a white jade token, and on the back of the token are some seal script characters, which Yu Chengyao is even more incomprehensible.
The only thing I could see was the Lishu fairy character on the front, Yu Chengyao took the token in his hand, looked at it carefully and put it back.
"This thing shouldn't be valuable, even if the inscriptions and stone carvings of the Qing Dynasty are all seals, but this token uses two fonts, which is obviously a fake!" Yu Chengyao shook his head, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
As soon as he heard Yu Chengyao say that it was a fake, Sandingzi was anxious. He is a treasure of this thing, where can he hear others say that it is a fake.
"You little brat, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this thing is from the hands of the fairy family! It's a token in the Taoist temple, I didn't see this fairy word! Sandingzi picked up the token, pointed to the immortal character on the token, and shouted at Yu Chengyao.
Yu Chengyao frowned, this Taoist temple still uses tokens? It was the first time he had heard of it, but tokens didn't necessarily represent something that was an ancient bureaucracy. It can also be a token or a tablet of a deity, and it is also somewhat credible to say that it is from a Taoist temple.
"Then you tell me that this token came from that Taoist temple? Don't lie to me, it's the information age, and you can't find anything up! Yu Chengyao stared at Sandingzi fiercely, and immediately took out his mobile phone and opened the web page, with a serious look.
Sandingzi was anxious, looking at Yu Chengyao's more serious appearance, he was angry. Pointing at Yu Chengyao, he scolded anxiously: "Little ghost, you...... You dare to underestimate your Uncle Sanding! Listen to me well, don't be scared of pee! ”
