Chapter 52: King Ba
I thought there would be some traps here, but the nine holes were unusually calm without exception, and four of them found a key in each of them, but it was not bronze, but it was replaced with jade. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The snow-white and translucent jade key is quite exquisitely made, and there are different forms of phoenixes engraved on it, to say that the precision of the key, it is by no means comparable to the current big head lock, but it looks no worse than the big head lock.
One key and one lock, although I don't know which one to open which one, it is easy to open it by trying one by one. Everyone opened the bean cover with great trepidation, and the diamond umbrella in my hand was ready to prevent accidents.
The heart that originally mentioned the throat and eyes also settled with the opening of the bean cover. There was only one sheepskin roll in the bronze square bucket covered with buckets, and the fat man was just about to reach out to get it, but I slapped it away, took out gloves from his bag, and then said to him: "How many times have I said that whenever you take things in the tomb, you must wear gloves, and you are not afraid of 10,000 in case, and the slightest mistake will kill you." ”
The fat man looked embarrassed, and said stiffly: "Of course I know, I just want to see if you still remember, I remind you so risky, you are embarrassed to say me." ”
I glanced at the fat man with disdain and said, "If you say that, I still have to thank you?" ”
When the fat man saw me say this, he looked like he took it for granted: "Of course." ”
I didn't bother to argue with him anymore, so I reached out and took out the parchment roll in the square bean, the bronze was quite well sealed, and there were some words written on the parchment scroll, which I naturally didn't recognize, so I spread it on the ground and let emma on the side identify it.
Anyway, the fat man and I couldn't understand it, so we didn't bother her, so we went to see An Changwei's injuries and gave him some water, the blood on the wound had completely stopped, but his face was a little pale. I have been conscious a lot, but my voice is still weak, which should be caused by excessive blood loss.
I saw that his mouth was open and closed to say something, I hurriedly listened to it, his voice was extremely weak, I didn't have Emma's ears, if it wasn't very close, I couldn't hear what he was saying. I only heard him say intermittently: "Brother Zou, we have to get out of here quickly, this place is dangerous, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long ......time."
After An Changwei finished speaking, his head tilted, and he fainted again. When the fat man saw that I looked solemn, he asked me, "What did this old thing say?" “
I said An Changwei's words as they were, and the fat man also fell into deep thought. At this time, Emma also saw the parchment roll in her hand almost as well, and was about to speak to me, so I told her what An Changwei said before he fell into a coma. Emma said: "Although I am not used to seeing you dealers who resell cultural relics, I have no bad feelings towards Mr. An just by relying on the contact these days, maybe he has found something we don't know, but he just didn't come to say it urgently." ”
I nodded in agreement, but now he was in a coma, and no matter what he found, it was useless to think about it, so I had to wait until he woke up.
I asked Emma again if she had found anything on the parchment. Emma retracted the gaze that fell on An Changwei and said, "This parchment scroll has written some things about this place, and it also explains the local legend that there is a place called Peony Slope in the mountain behind the manshui pond. The entire underneath facility is built around peonies and phoenixes. Ba was destroyed by Qin, Ba Wang accidentally got a pair of tiger talismans, according to legend, King Wu cut down, Feng Ming Qishan, can succeed because of this pair of jade tiger talismans. This pair of tiger talismans is an important magic weapon of Fengming Qishan, and the jade tiger talisman is cast by Jiang Ziya for the martial king to order the world. After the fall of the country of Ba, the king of Ba took the remnants of the forces to today's Feng County, Xixi Hubei Province, and secretly built a legal platform to attract the phoenix with the jade tiger talisman. ”
Local legend has it that the name of the peony slope comes from the fact that once upon a time there was a huge peony flower that bloomed here, and it was so prosperous that the phoenix flew in, but according to emma, there was no mention of the word peony. I was puzzled and asked: "It's obviously a peony to attract a phoenix, why did it become a tiger charm to attract a phoenix?" ”
Emma glanced at me a little impatiently: "Listen to people, don't interject at will, haven't you heard of it?" ”
The fat man looked at her expression and gloated at me and said seriously: "Comrade Zou Yi, when the leader speaks, don't interject at will, don't you know?" Have you forgotten all the rules and regulations? ”
"When the chief speaks, how can you interject, be careful to apply military law to you." You turned his head and said to Emma with a smile: "Commander Duan, please continue, if this guy interjects again, I will slap your mouth for you." ”
She didn't raise her head, just looked down at the parchment scroll in her hand, and continued: "King Ba only knows the legend, but he doesn't know that the legend will have such a great impact when it is reflected in reality. King Ba set up a Dharma platform for the Jade Tiger Fu, and the Jade Tiger was in line with the two on the Dharma platform, but there was no other reaction on the Dharma platform, and the wonder of the peony attracting the phoenix appeared in the outside world. Afterwards, King Ba knew that he couldn't hide it, and sooner or later the King of Qin would send troops to crusade, so he sent someone to seal the entrances and exits of the Fatai, and set traps in each entrance, and then dismissed the tribe, and he walked into the underground palace Fatai and never came out again. ”
After waiting for a while, Emma didn't squeak, and I tried to ask, "Since this Ba King has entered the underground palace altar, who wrote these things into the parchment?" ”
Emma said: "I didn't say who it was, only that it was written by the great uncle who found the jade tiger talisman, because of the special status of the great uncle, after King Ba entered the tomb, the great uncle hurriedly entered the ancient tomb and left this parchment scroll, and..."
"And what?" Halfway through the words, the most anxious person, I asked the fat man in unison.
Emma glanced at the two of us and said leisurely: "And, take away the Jade Tiger Talisman of Fengming Qishan." ”
I was shocked in my heart, since King Ba can create a miracle of peony attracting phoenixes, then he must know the extraordinaryness of this pair of tiger talismans, since he knows that the sky will die himself, then he will definitely not fall into the hands of others, but bring himself into the tomb. At that time, the country of Ba had been destroyed, and the king of Ba used his last strength to build such a huge Dharma platform so secretly, although he could not restore the country, but he also left a place for himself to die. It's a pity that it's hard to draw the skin and bones of the tiger, and he finally looked away, and was taken away by his most trusted uncle, under the nine springs, if he understands, he will not be blind to death.
In the past, in the era of feudal land and statehood, superstitious thought was the mainstream, and everything had to be divined, and this relatively remote area, in the eyes of the ancients, was called a barbarian land, and feudal superstition was more than that of the Central Plains. Therefore, the officials who are in charge of the heaven and earth, gods, human and ghost gifts, auspicious and evil military gifts, and jade silk, bells and drums and other powerful cultural relics have become the king's most trusted people.
The person who was chosen as the great uncle was naturally the one who was most loyal to him in the eyes of the king.
I glanced at An Changwei on the ground, and I really couldn't understand why he said that this place was dangerous and it was not suitable to stay for a long time. If what was said on the parchment was true, then what was the meaning of what An Changwei said?
The fat man said, "I said, two chiefs, can you not be so idle?" There are only nine holes in front of us, you have all entered, and there is no way out, what should we do now? Could it be that he swam through the water again and fought with those wooden dragons? ”
I looked at Emma, and even though we had both been in the nine holes, nothing came of it. But as the fat man said, we have to find a way out, and only she knows whether this parchment can give an answer.
Emma said: "Don't look at me like that, I'm still looking at it, there's a picture behind this, I really can't understand it, or you can come and see it." ”
As a result, the parchment scroll in her hand, Emma pointed to the picture she had spoken, on which was drawn a circle, with many curled up babies in the middle, and nine doors on each side. The baby is the Ice Lamp Fruit Tree in front of us, the nine doors are naturally self-evident, and there is a relatively wide section between the Ice Lamp Fruit Tree and the nine gates, which are marked with some symbols, each symbol seems to represent something. Between the two doors is a square with a chain.
If you count it carefully, there are seven symbols in total, which seem to represent something. Emma asked suspiciously, "Could it have something to do with the Big Dipper?" But what does the Big Dipper have to do with the Phoenix? ”
After her reminder, it reminded me of the Seven Houses in the South, the Seven Houses in the South represent the Vermilion Bird, the Vermilion Bird represents the stars in Chinese mythology, and the status of the phoenix is lower than that of the Vermilion Bird, and even in the "Crane Crown" it is recorded that the Phoenix is under the jurisdiction of the Vermilion Bird, which further explains that the status of the Phoenix is lower than that of the Vermilion Bird.
In such an underground palace full of legends about the phoenix, it is naturally not surprising that the Suzaku Seven Nights, who rule the phoenix, appear.
If you arrange them according to the number of stars in the seven Nakshatras in the south, such a large area is probably impossible to solve, so the best way is to arrange the seven Nakshatras here. Thinking of the appearance of the previous Guan Ji when he opened the Nine Dragons Mystery Lock, the arrangement of the Seven Nights should be similar to it.
I asked myself and the fat man that neither of them had the same leg skills and strength as the disease, so the two of them had to find a corresponding point together, and jumped on it vigorously, for a long time, both of us were sweaty, and the ground did not move, but with our beating, the dust deposited on the ground was also shaken, revealing a small ravine. I hurriedly beckoned Emma to come and see, I took the shovel and shoveled it all over the ground, and where I jumped with the fat man for a long time, a small square pit was exposed, and there was a small groove on the inside of the pit, which was probably stuck in something.
