Chapter Seven: Four Eyes and Nine Heavens

The deity with a human head and a bird's body on the stone wall mentioned by the third uncle has appeared in the myths and legends of various peoples in various places, and I believe that it should be the same kind of creature as the strange bird we saw in the Genting Heavenly Palace.

I looked it up later and knew that this deity was called ba, which represented the immortal soul of man, which means that if you were in ancient Egypt, then their ghosts were all virtuous. In India, this god is called "Kalingpinga", which is said to be a sacred bird on the snow-capped mountains, and is sung by the Buddha's Elysium.

In China, this bird is more famous than the first two, the head of the bird, that is, China's "Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang", it seems to be the "Book of Songs" or (Arowana River Map) or some other ancient book recorded, to the Yellow Emperor sent the Tianzhen book containing Qimen Dunjia (Dragon Armor Divine Chapter), is this master.

There are many other legends, one legend says that the "Nine Heavens Xuannu" is the Queen Mother of the West, but most of the legends are chaotic, and these cannot be investigated. During the Six Dynasties, Taoism even had a large number of records of "Xuannu" teaching the art of the Yellow Emperor's room, I don't know if this Xuannu is another Xuannu, otherwise, it is not a pleasant thing to be taught the art in the room by such a thing.

So what did the third uncle think of when he looked at the four eyes of the relief carving? His speculation at the time was this:

There are four depressions on the forehead of the relief, apparently there should be four pebbles, now there are only two, and two of them have obviously been taken away, and it is impossible for people to come often in the ancient tombs, and the one who took those two is the uncle of the year.

These are simple and can be imagined by anyone, so I won't explain them here.

The important key is, why are the remaining two still in their original positions?

Since the uncle was interested in pebbles, why didn't he take all the stones down at that time, but left two? The clouds are deep and untraceable.

The third uncle remembered his conclusion just now: the change that made the uncle become like that must have happened in this secret room.

But there is no stilt in sight here, just a space that is sealed on all sides.

The only strange thing is that two of the four pebbles were removed, and there is no reason why the uncle deliberately left two of them, if it wasn't deliberately left, then could it be that he changed back then, and it happened when he took the pebbles? After he took two of them, he didn't have time to take the rest because of something that happened suddenly?

When the third uncle thought of this, his heart suddenly brightened, and the assumption of the pebble and the whole thing were seamlessly connected together. He hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look at the black sè strange stone.

The pebbles are deeply embedded in the relief, and the whole relief is like a whole, and if you don't look closely, you can't see that it is two parts with the stone wall. The reason why the third uncle noticed it at once was because two of them had been poached, and when the four were there, they couldn't be found without considerable attention, and it seemed that the uncle back then should not be a simple person.

So, what will happen if you pry out these pebbles? After the stone wall, it is determined that there is no mechanism, is the pebble poisonous? No, I've already touched it.

The third uncle hesitated, and an irrepressible urge came up in his heart, and he decided to pry the next one to take a look.

The third uncle took out his machete, sharpened it twice on the wall on one side, and leaned over tremblingly. He touched one of them with the tip of his knife. Then, he inserted the knife into the gap on the side, and then pried it, and with a "click", one of them fell into the palm of the third uncle's hand.

As soon as the pebble fell, the third uncle immediately took a step back, looking around timidly, lest some hidden mechanism suddenly activate.

However, nothing happened, and the pebbles fell into the palm of his hand, cold and motionless. There is no movement around, reliefs or reliefs, walls and walls.

The third uncle waited for a while, and was relieved to be sure that it was okay, and wondered in his heart, could it be that his assumption just now was wrong? Or maybe the change at that time could only be triggered once, and no matter how many times you pry now, it can't be triggered?

He put away this pebble and went to pry the other one, still the same step, inserting the knife into the gap on one side, at this time he calmed down a little, and used his strength a lot, a pry, "pop", the pebble moved, and bounced out.

The third uncle hurriedly went to pick it up, but the pebble bounced too fast, he couldn't react, and fell to the ground with a "snap", like a sand ball smashing on the cement floor, and it fell into powder, and the black pebbles picked up a layer of dust of bronze sè, and scattered in the air at once.

The third uncle was a clever man, his heart was not good, he coughed and fanned, feeling that his mouth was full of spicy taste, and when he thought of the kind of Yan sè on the bloody corpse outside, he subconsciously felt that this cloud deep dust might be poisonous, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his clothes and stepped back.

After retreating a few steps, I immediately went to look at the place where the pebble fell just now, only to see that where the pebbles on the ground were broken, in the middle of the powder of the bronze sè, a small insect of red sè crawled out and curled up into a ball. Make a "squeak" sound.

As soon as the third uncle saw the insect, his brain suddenly buzzed, and the person involuntarily took a step back.

Because he recognized this bug at a glance, it was a corpse bug, and it was not an ordinary breed. The corpse cockroach of the red sè, I heard the old man in the family say, it is extremely poisonous, it is an evil ghost insect, and when it sees blood to seal its throat, it will be poisoned if you touch it a little.

But this kind of red sè corpse cockroach, which is said to only live in the body of ancient corpses, is almost impossible to catch, how can it be wrapped in a pebble by a person? Inlaid here again? The most outrageous thing is that the worm wrapped in the stone, how is it still alive?

The third uncle felt very bizarre, but he immediately realized that he didn't have time to think about it anymore, and on the ground, the little insect of the red sè turned around a few times, gradually stretched, and began to shake its wings and crawl, as if it was about to fly.

The third uncle had never seen the cockroach king before, and he didn't know if it was really so poisonous, but he knew that if it was true, then in such a small space, as soon as this insect flew, it was equivalent to announcing his death sentence.

He cautiously took a few steps back and raised his machete, trying to slap it to death before it was flying. But before he could press it, he suddenly heard a "cluck" sound coming from under the machete, and then a red shadow jumped out and flew to the third uncle's shoulder.

The speed of the rainbow light was too fast, and the third uncle didn't have time to dodge at all, a fierce spirit, frightened into a cold sweat, and the knife in his hand instinctively flung back, and slapped it on his shoulder. The Cockroach King was startled, flew up again, and stopped on the wall to the side.

At this time, the cockroach king had fully awakened, flared his wings, and kept making a "clucking" sound similar to a frog's croaking, and a spicy smell kept emanating from it.

The third uncle pondered, and said in his heart that it would not work, this thing is fucking more difficult to deal with than a blood corpse, and it will definitely be death if he stays here, thirty-six strategies, go for the best plan, or slip away, thinking about shrinking up, he carefully retreated to the entrance of the Yunshen Traceless Secret Passage.

The secret passage could not turn around at all, he could only climb backwards, and retreated to the entrance of the secret passage, fortunately, looking to the side, the bloody worm did not follow.

The third uncle settled down and went to touch the pin of the secret door, but his heart was a little flustered, his hands trembled so badly that he was almost out of control.

Finally touched the pin, pushed open the secret door, the third uncle just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a red light flew out of the dark passage darkness at a lightning speed, the speed was so fast, almost like an instantaneous movement, straight to the third uncle's front door, in an instant, the thing had arrived in front of him;

The third uncle shouted "not good" in his heart, and it was too late to hide. At the last moment, he was in a hurry, shrunk his neck, and then blew at the worm.

When the third uncle blew the stove, he practiced quite a lot of lung capacity, and his strength was very great, and suddenly the corpse cockroach was blown to change direction, turned over, and hit the wall.

The third uncle took advantage of this opportunity, as soon as he raised his hand, he turned over and rolled out of the secret passage, and crushed the secret door with his backhand.

The moth king below followed almost at the same time, but this time it was one step too late, and the secret door was already dead. It slammed into the stone slab with a "snap" and fell in, making a series of "clucking" sounds.

The third uncle only felt that his scalp was numb, and his whole body was soft, and he collapsed on the edge of the coffin all of a sudden, only to find that he was soaked with sweat, and it took a long time to recover.

I know very well how powerful the cockroach king is, and I was in a cold sweat when I heard it, and I was busy making him make a long story short, and I didn't need to speak so vividly.

After that, the third uncle realized that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he no longer had any ideas, packed up his things, fought against the robbery hole, and crawled out of the ancient tomb with the bones of several ancestors.

After returning to Changsha, the third uncle didn't tell anyone about it, including his grandfather, but he had a strong interest in the Warring States Silk Book and began to study it secretly. But the third uncle's friends at that time were either ruffians or hooligans, and none of them were on the stage, and they didn't produce any results for more than half a year. The black sè pebbles brought out of the dark passage have also been seen by many seniors, and they can't say why.

The third uncle was disheartened and gradually lost interest, until he arrived in Xisha, and by chance, things took a turn for the better.

At that time, one of his friends fell ill and died, and invited an old cow nose to do the ritual, at that time, the cow nose was part-time, and he was a Taoist priest when he put on a Taoist robe, and he was no one when he took it off, and he didn't pay attention to it, and after doing the ritual, a group of people drank wine, and the third uncle himself forgot what was going on at that time, and it seemed that he was drunk and bragging, so he took out the pebbles to show off.

Without thinking about it, as soon as the bull's nose saw the thing, his face changed, and he sniffed it again, and suddenly said that it was not a stone.

The third uncle didn't take this person seriously, and asked him a little mockingly, "It's not a stone, what is it?" ”

Niu Nose told him solemnly, "This should be an elixir." ”

Niu Bi said it well, the third uncle didn't look like he was talking nonsense, thinking that he had met a master, so he pulled him aside where there was no one and wanted to talk to him in detail, but this Niu Bi was also half a bucket of water, and he only knew that this thing was an elixir, but he didn't know the origin and details. And the reason why he knows that this thing is an elixir is because the Taoist temple where they live is very old, it is said that it was there when the Wuhu Chaohua was there, and there are many antiques in the Taoist temple, which have been used by him for several generations, and there are many alchemy tools, in which he has seen this kind of stone-like elixir, and he has also smelled the taste, so he dares to be so sure.

The third uncle couldn't help but be disappointed, but he finally saw the light of day again, and later found a few people who were engaged in gold and stone research to see it, and they also confirmed this statement, this thing is indeed a "Dan". The clouds are deep and untraceable.

However, the pill belongs to metaphysics, very personal, almost every alchemist has his own alchemy method, there is no ancient character search, there is nothing to see on a pill, but the bull's nose and he said that since it was found in the ancient tomb, it must be the elixir of immortality that the ancients thought they had, because only this elixir will be used for burial. The third uncle felt very confused when he heard this, because he knew that the pill was wrapped in the cockroach king, and the pill was generally taken internally, and this thing would definitely die if he ate it, and he died a miserable death, and he was a fart for a long time.

The third uncle was puzzled, and he tossed for more than half a year, and tried almost any channel, but there was still no progress. Just when the third uncle was about to give up completely and wanted to throw the pill into the toilet bowl and flush it, something unexpected happened.
