Chapter 12: Fox Burial
"Old Jiang. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lao Jiang thought that he had taken everything seriously, and he was smug, but he didn't realize that his words had made Zhuo Fan dumbfounded. He sat there stunned, looking a little sluggish. Until the poker face reminded Lao Jiang.
"So that's the case, if you really follow what Lao Jiang said, you can actually understand it." Zhuo Fan sighed faintly, "If it were me, I would probably do the same." ”
Lao Jiang laughed dryly twice, and patted Zhuo Fan's shoulder heartily, "Don't worry too much, I tried to analyze it, then Su Da is about to die, of course she can't be buried with this secret, what if the people who robbed the tomb find out together after the two jade plates of yin and yang." This is not bad, if someone with a heart accidentally penetrates the secret in the jade plate, then she will not be able to live in peace even if she is underground. So in order to distract others, and to make the jade plate safer, I gave a piece to your Duanmu family. Just ask, who would associate the famous Duanmudian family with the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty. Even if the Duanmu family broke their promise and handed over the jade plate, the person who got the jade card would not be able to understand the secret at all, after all, there were two jade plates. After Lao Jiang finished speaking, he high-fived to indicate that the analysis was completed, and his eyes were on the poker face and Zhuo Fan only saw the reincarnation flowing, "How about it, does what I said make sense?" ”
Zhuo Fan was silent, he had always been haunted by the death of his parents, and after listening to Lao Jiang's analysis, he couldn't let go of it. "What kind of secret are they guarding?"
Lao Jiang looked at Zhuo Fan deeply, and slowly approached with his waist bent, "You want to know?" I would like to know too. ”
"Let's go." Poker Face suddenly stood up and picked up his backpack, "Find the Moonlight Clan." ”
Old Jiang got up suddenly, and said to Zhuo Fan, who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, "Yes, your ancestors are not a member of the Moonlight Clan, as long as you find the Moonlight Clan, you can know what the secret is." After speaking, he picked up Zhuo Fan, "Let's go, don't be stunned, it's still weird to stay in this tomb for a long time." We'd better get out of here quickly. ”
"How are we going to leave?" Zhuo Fan's question was asked to Lao Jiang, just now they jumped from the top of this ear chamber, the ear chamber is more than five or six meters high, the four walls are smooth, there is no way to climb to the top and return from the same way. Lao Jiang raised his head and looked at the top of his head, and the thief hole above his head could not be seen in the darkness.
"Poker face, how are we going to get out?"
As soon as Poker Face opened his mouth, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, stared into the dark void, and listened, "Did you hear anything?" ”
Lao Jiang learned the appearance of a poker face, "There is no sound, did you hear it wrong?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the fire fold in his hand was snatched by Zhuo Fan who was beside him, and the lid was extinguished. Lao Jiang was annoyed, and before the words reached his mouth, he felt that his mouth had been blocked, and the poker face and Zhuo Fan's body were forced towards Lao Jiang, forcing him into the corner of the ear room before stopping.
Lao Jiang whimpered, helplessly covering his mouth with great strength, and just when he was in a state of confusion, a lowered voice came from his ears, "Lao Jiang, don't move." ”
Lao Jiang immediately straightened his body, broke the hand covering his mouth with his hand, looked around, and whispered in the poker face's ear, "What's the matter?" ”
Before Lao Jiang's words fell, he heard the sound of rustling outside the ear room, and soon a few shadows passed outside the ear room, and the shadows fell obliquely into the ear chamber, stretching extremely long on the floor of the ear chamber.
Not alone.
One by one, the shadows poured into the ear chambers, as if they were taking some strange step, moving forward neatly and rhythmically with slightly eerie music.
"What the hell is this?" Lao Jiang's teeth chattered, and the poker face had already reached the door of the ear chamber, cautiously looking outside.
I saw two columns of people walking through the main burial chamber outside the door. They were dressed in white robes that reached to the ground, with white fox masks on their faces, and each carried a wind lamp in their hands, which illuminated their procession but did not illuminate the main burial chamber entirely. It seems more and more that this team of people is strange and abnormal.
"You see, they're carrying coffins." Lao Jiang pointed to the back, "That's a coffin, it's so big." ”
At the back of the procession, the coffin, carried by sixteen people, followed the procession through the door of the main burial chamber. The coffin was very large, about three meters long, and it was very heavy. When I got closer, I saw that the coffin was actually made of bronze, and the dense patterns were intricately intertwined, and it could be seen that it was very carefully carved.
"Let's keep up." Poker Face didn't hesitate, as early as after he saw these people's outfits clearly, he immediately understood that these people were not from the Moonlight Clan, but who they were.
There was no response from Lao Jiang and Zhuo Fan, and they took the lead in following the team from a distance. I saw the procession pass through the middle of the coffin in the main burial chamber and walk all the way into the innermost part of the main burial chamber.
Lao Jiang was inexplicable, watching these people walk into the depths of the main tomb without any suspense, and suddenly understood what was going on, "They are the people of the Moonlight Clan?" ”
Poker Face didn't answer, staring at the place where the group had disappeared, and said, "Keep up." He stepped out from behind the coffin in the main burial chamber and cautiously followed the faint light of the wind lamp.
"Alas!" Lao Jiang was worried that if the poker face followed so directly, he would be discovered, after all, no further forward, but there was no cover, and the three of them could only hope that the people in front would not look back. Whenever someone in the group turns around, they will find strange aliens following their group.
When Zhuo Fan saw this person, hundreds of questions popped up in his heart, but the situation did not allow it, so he could only follow the poker face and boldly move forward step by step. The team walked very slowly because they were carrying a huge bronze coffin. Every now and then, there would be a pause, as if some kind of ritual was going on at the front of the procession. Pokerface had already seen the rituals of the sun sacrifice and was particularly interested in the rituals of this kind of tomb. When the procession stopped, he walked closer, almost less than ten meters away from the end of the procession, but fortunately the tomb was shrouded in darkness, and even the light of the wind lantern was blurred and unreal, and no one cared, and their ritual was seen in its entirety.
This is a completely different ritual from the Sun Festival, more like Buddhism in the Central Plains, where the funeral procession recites words in their mouths, stops and bows 90 degrees along the way to bow and bow.
Until the line finally stopped. Through the aperture of the wind lantern, Poker Face saw that it was a huge bronze door, and on either side of the bronze door were two huge bronze nine-tailed foxes. I don't know what the person at the front of the line did. The bronze door had slowly opened, carrying the dust that had not been opened for a long time, obscuring everyone's sight.
"What's that?"
I saw a faint green light coming out of the bronze door, which made the whole world in the bronze door look weird and abnormal. When I got closer, I realized that this green light was actually lit by dozens of oil lamps.
"This fire is so strange, how can it be like an everlasting lamp, maybe it has been burning here for hundreds of thousands of years, you see that the fire is motionless, as if nature is burning endlessly." Lao Jiang leaned on the door, looking at the dozens of oil lamps from afar.
"If I'm guessing correctly, it's lamp oil made from mermaid oil." Poker Face finally answered Lao Jiang's question in its entirety.
"Fool me, I've seen this mermaid's grease lamp, but I've never seen it so green." Lao Jiang explained.
"Have you ever heard that phosphorus burning will be green, and people used to call it fox fire." Zhuo Fan said, trying to explain Lao Jiang's words. Who knows, he said it a little louder, and it actually attracted the last person in the line. He turned around, tilting his head, and the face under the mask should be full of doubt.
The three poker faces had already ducked behind the bronze statue of the fox, successfully avoiding the sight of the cast. After the three of them were safe, Pokerface was the first to walk through the bronze door.
It was a large circular room, with holes in the walls of the room, each of which had exactly a coffin crammed into it. In other words, many coffins are embedded in the walls of this room.
Pokerface and Zhuo Fan hid behind the bronze door and witnessed the group of people personally sending this huge coffin into the hole in the wall of one of them.
Not long after, the funeral was over, and everyone went out in turn.
A thought welled up in Zhuo Fan's heart, and he said at a very fast speed, "You guys take a look here, I'll catch up with them." After saying that, a cat waist got out from behind the bronze door.
Pokerface took the wolf-eye flashlight back from his backpack and opened it with a click. The blue-white light illuminates the coffin in the wall of the tomb. Poker Face leapt to the coffin at great speed, and carefully identified it by the light of the flashlight.
"This coffin should be a newly made bronze, which is made using modern techniques."
"It's really weird who still buries people in bronze now." Lao Jiang folded his hands and touched his arms. I can't help but feel a sigh of relief.
"I don't know who is buried." Poker face supported the cheek raiser, but the coffin was stuffed into the wall, let alone opened, with Lao Jiang and poker face, there was no way to take the coffin out of the wall.
"What people!" Only a clear female voice came from behind them. Poker Face was the first to turn around, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, Poker Face had been pinched in the neck, and forced to retreat straight to the coffin. Poker's face was pressed against the coffin, and he couldn't help but move, and he was knocked unconscious.
Lao Jiang only let out, "Ouch, my mother." Immediately surrendered to the fox mask in front of him, "I didn't do anything...... the person who came didn't mean to stop. Lao Jiang closed his eyes tightly and raised his hands, "Then you move lightly." ”
Lao Jiang only felt a pain in his neck, and soon lost consciousness.
