Chapter Twenty-Six: The Purple Jade Box
Purple jade is amethyst, generally used to make amulets and evil spirits, few people use it to make a box, this box, it seems to be dug out with a whole piece of purple jade, very rare, purple jade is not good at pondering, so there is no pattern on this box, only a gold edge is inlaid at the lid, look at the position he put it, it should be used as a pillow for this corpse. Generally, jade pillows are already very precious, and purple jade is even more valuable, I am afraid that the emperors at that time did not have this kind of treatment.
We carefully took out the box and put it on the ground, the box was not locked, we opened it to see, it was a roll of silk inlaid with gold, the fiber of this thing was inlaid with gold wire, it was very well preserved, we unfolded it, and the line from the left wrote [Book of the Dead King], and then the side was densely packed with small characters.
The fat man was more interested in the jade figurines than this silk book, and he couldn't understand it, so he muttered a few times and ran to study the jade figurines, and the stuffy oil bottle pulled out the knife on the tree, lay on the edge of the jade bed on the side, and stared silently at the corpse of King Lu Yan, his eyes were confused.
I and the third uncle sat next to him, carefully looked at the text on the silk book, at my level, I can only understand some fragments, but connect these fragments, you can see a rough idea, this book of the dead king's land record, is simply incredible, if it weren't for the fact that I have experienced so many strange things, I really can't believe that there are such things in the world.
Posted on the side of the line of the book of the dead king, there is a line of small characters, which is the preface written by himself, only a few lines, followed by all the major events from his birth to death, if all are translated, I am afraid that ten days and half a month will not be able to do it, fortunately
I understand the two main things in the post.
The first thing to release is the process of King Lu Yan getting the ghost seal, and it is written in the silk book relatively briefly, so I roughly sorted it out and read it out.
Released that he inherited his father's official position at twenty-five, and dug ancient tombs for the army of Lu State, and gave gold to make up for military salaries, once, he entered a tomb that did not know the age, and the coffin was lying in a giant snake, lying motionless, King Lu was very bold, he said in his heart that the giant snake was lying in the coffin, it must be a demon, and he chopped the snake with a knife, and forcibly ordered to go down to disembowel the snake, and as a result, a purple gold box was dug out of the snake's belly.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the box I put in my bag was cut out of the snake's belly? The third uncle saw that I didn't talk anymore, and said impatiently: "Don't stop, keep talking!" I couldn't think about it, so I came back to my senses and continued to read.
Later, when he went to bed at night, he dreamed of an old man with a white beard and asked him, "Why do you want to kill me?" ”
Released King Lu Yan is usually very violent, he kills people a lot, he forgets when he kills him, and he doesn't know who this old man is, and says: "If you want to kill, kill it!" ”
The old man suddenly turned into a giant snake to bite him, who knew that the king of Lu Yan was so fierce, in a dream he cut the snake with another knife, and then stepped on it, and was about to cut off the head of the snake, and the snake suddenly began to beg for mercy, saying that his body had been killed by him, and if his soul was killed by him again, he would never be reborn, and if he let him go, he would pass on two treasures. At that time, the officers who robbed the tomb, although they were under the direct management of the emperor, had a very low status, and King Lu Yan regarded himself very highly, which was very attractive to him. I agreed.
After releasing the snake, he told him how to open the purple gold box in his stomach, and also taught him how to use the treasure inside.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but say that this King Lu Yan was too ruthless.
At this time, the fat man ran over and asked: "That treasure must be a ghost seal, what is the other one?" It has never been mentioned in ancient books, could it be this jade figurine? ”
I signaled him not to be in a hurry, and continued to look down by himself,
After the king woke up, he tried it in his dream, and sure enough, he opened the box, but he never wrote what treasure it was, and said that he was "quite handy" after using it, and he felt that this matter could not be known to others, so he took his entourage and their families to kill them one by one, even the children who had just completed the moon.
I gasped again when I saw this, and said in my heart that this King Lu Yan must have some mental problems, otherwise how could he be so cruel.
The fat man said: "How could he kill so many people alone, he must have used that treasure, he is really in a hurry, can you quickly see if there is anything written below?" ”
Post what I scolded: "Why the hell are you talking so much nonsense, go pack up your jade figurines!" ”
posted him to list his mouth, "Okay, okay, I don't interject, it's okay, you fucking hurry up, your intestines are itching!" ”
I ignored him and continued to read on.
In the next few decades of release, he relied on those two treasures, invincible, whether it was a war or a government, he was invincible, and he was in the limelight for a while, but in his later years, because of years of contact with corpse gas, his body had a lot of stubborn diseases, which was very inconvenient, and the emperor thought he was too old, so he went to his military power, so that he only needed to fight backwards, and did not need to take care of military affairs, which actually demoted him.
As his body deteriorated day by day, he began to be a little afraid of death, one day, he dreamed of the giant snake for decades, the giant snake and he said, his death time has come, we are all waiting for you in the underworld, he looked, almost all of them were the people he had killed before! When he woke up, he remembered the contents of the dream and was very scared. So he went to ask his advisor for advice.
He thought about it slightly, and said to King Lu Yan that there was a kind of jade figurine in ancient times, which can make people rejuvenate and live forever, but unfortunately it has long been extinct, and if you want to find it, you can only go to the ancient tomb to find it, King Lu Yan was at the end of his rope at that time, whether this Mr. Iron Mask is true or not, it gives him a glimmer of hope, and the inverted bucket is his strength. So he studied ancient books all night, and the literature at that time was still relatively rich, and many things were not lost, and finally he found a large tomb with jade figurines in a simple book.
Then, he mobilized more than 3,000 people, spent half a year, excavated the mountain, and found a huge Western Zhou Imperial Mausoleum in his estimated area, at that time, the national strength of various countries was not very good, so the scale of this imperial mausoleum was already breathtaking at that time. It is built in the mountain, using the natural cave, the tomb inside uses the principle of Zhou Yi Bagua, extremely complicated, if it is not for the king of Lu Yan who is proficient in Qimen shield armor, there is no way to walk in, the most peculiar thing is that in the cave as the main tomb, there is a giant tree that he called Hydra Nan, and a young male corpse with almost skin and bones, wearing a black golden jade robe, sat on the jade bed under the giant tree.
After releasing Mr. Iron Mask, he said categorically, this is the jade figurine, this young man's corpse seems to be dead, every once in a while, the dead skin on his body will fall off, and a new skin will come out from the inside, he estimates that this young man must be a withered old man when he dies.
Released this Mr. Iron Mask, very good, he actually knew how to restrain the blood corpse, he used a special method, the male corpse in the figurines was taken out, sealed into the sarcophagus of the deputy tomb, King Lu Yan according to all the plans set by Mr. Iron Mask, he took the fake death medicine, suspended his death in front of the emperor, the emperor thought that he could really come and go freely in the Yin and Yang worlds, very afraid, in order to appease him, the emperor gave him a higher than the general princes and kings of the tomb treatment, his cronies on the grounds of digging the tomb, secretly on this Western Zhou Dynasty imperial mausoleum, He built a fan-like ancient tomb, because he was familiar with the various techniques of tomb robbing, so he set up suspicious arrays everywhere, left 7 fake coffins, and hid himself in the thousand-year-old tree of the Western Zhou Tomb.
Before he went into the coffin, he killed all the people involved in the project, pushed them into the river, and then poisoned all his entourage, leaving only two loyal cronies, a man and a woman, and buried him, who also died of poison after all the work had been done. I estimate that most of the ancient corpses in the corpse cave should have been accumulated at this time.
At the time of the release, I had a question and said to the third uncle: "What is the end of that Mr. Iron Mask, it doesn't seem to be mentioned here, could it be that he was also martyred and died?" ”
The third uncle shook his head and said, "This kind of person is very smart, he should have expected that King Lu Yan would kill people and destroy his mouth, and he should not be foolish and loyal to accompany him to the funeral." ”
The stuffy oil bottle said lightly: "Of course he won't, because in the end, the one lying in the jade figurines is not King Lu Yan, but himself." ”
