"What is he looking at?" Cassia asked me in a low voice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I shook my head and said that this man's actions and intentions are completely unpredictable, and you can never guess what is going on in his mind and what he will do next.

The monk's personality is relatively irritable, and the guard's reaction just now made him very unhappy, but he seems to be afraid of the guard, so it is not easy to attack.

The presence of the guards seemed to make the scene even more awkward. He seems to be indifferent to anything else except Master. Those living stone carvings were motionless at this time, making it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake, but judging from the guard's expressions, he must have known that these stone carvings were greasy.

Cassia took this opportunity to run to the coffin and began to study. As far as I know, the bronze coffin should have originated in the Shang Dynasty at the earliest, and it was the most widespread in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was basically extinct in the Qin Dynasty, let alone the Han Dynasty. The fourth child speculated before that this is a pair of mandarin duck mounds, since the above is a Han tomb, then this place should also be consistent with the Han tomb. And now the sudden appearance of a bronze coffin here has to make people suspicious.

But Cassia has no such concerns at all, he is a straight man. I knew what he wanted to do as soon as I saw his expression, but he forgot that there was the monk standing next to the coffin. The monk's personality is too far from the fourth child, so I feel that the two of them will not get along very well.

Just as Cassia was about to attack the coffin, the monk couldn't help but stop him.

"What are you doing?"

Cassia glanced at him inexplicably and said, "Isn't this clear?" The dead monk stayed on the side, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu. ”

The monk laughed at this time: "I said, just like you, still learn from others to fight?" Do you know what kind of coffin this is? If you don't understand, don't mess around and spoil things. ”

Cassia was stunned for a moment, then made a "please" gesture and said, "Monk? Are you coming? ”

The monk rolled up his sleeves with a smug look on his face: "Stand aside, let the master come and show you your hands." ”

The guy looked confident, and I followed Cassia to the top. The monk first circled around the coffin a few times, and his mouth was chattering as if he were chanting sutras.

"Are you going to fucking open it? What the hell are you talking about? Cassia looked impatient, so he scolded.

The monk didn't pay attention to it either, and continued to circle around the coffin. Cassia still wanted to scold, but I stopped him. I'd like to see what kind of tricks this monk is up to. It took about seven laps before the monk stopped.

"It's not that I'm targeting the two of you, you stunned young people, except for brute force, that's bullshit, your brain is just an ornament. You don't want to think about it, open someone's coffin for no reason, don't you notify people first? You have to leave a way out for yourself in everything, don't you? ”

I was stunned and asked him, "You mean, you were talking to the corpse in the coffin?" ”

The monk nodded: "The son can be taught." ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I've seen a lot of his tricks." Cassia turned his head and said to the monk: "I said monk, you have been rambling for a long time, can you open it?" If you can't open it, don't be embarrassed here and waste your brother's time. ”

Before Cassia could finish speaking, I suddenly heard a slight "click" sound coming from the coffin in front of me. Then, in full view of everyone, the bronze coffin seemed to molt, and slowly shed the outermost outer coffin of the outer coffin, revealing the jade coffin inside.

"It's amazing!" I was dumbfounded.

"How did you do that?"

The monk looked proud: "You guys are too murderous, but I knocked on the wooden fish in the temple, and no matter how small the mechanism is, it can't escape my eyes." ”

I said in my heart what kind of logic are you, knocking on the wooden fish has a bullshit connection with opening the mechanism. At this time, lying in the outer coffin is a small jade coffin, which seems to be a jade coffin. There are no other outer coffins around the jade coffin, but this is a sacrificial platform after all, not a real underground Xuan Palace. The coffin is placed here, which means that the identity of the owner of the coffin may not be as high as we think, and it is not surprising that there is no outer coffin.

Compared with the jade coffin I saw before, the one on the altar looked much older, and it was easy to tell that the two jade coffins could not be products of the same period. The carvings on this jade coffin are very ancient, and there is hardly a trace of crimson visible in the jade skin, and under the torch, the whole jade coffin presents an unnatural white.

Seeing the jade coffin, Cassia and the monk began to be impatient.

"Let's talk about the ugly things ahead, and when the coffin is opened, how to divide the treasures inside? There are a lot of you, we have to discuss this matter, lest you turn your face and deny it when the coffin is opened. ”

"You monk is really verbose, according to the rules of your way, fifty-fifty is divided, this is all right."

When the monk heard this, he smiled and said, "Cheng, refreshing." ”

After that, the monk concocted the same method and activated the mechanism to open the jade coffin, this time the movement of the mechanism was very small, and the jade coffin was not scattered around like the outer coffin, but only the cover on the top slowly moved backwards under the gaze of several people.

I couldn't help but be curious, so I leaned over to see what the scene was like in the jade coffin. Is it really as Cassia said, to bring the dead back to life?

The top of the jade coffin slowly receded, and I squeezed between Cassia and the monk, looking into the jade coffin. The first thing seen is the head, but the corpse's face is covered with a bronze mask of mismatched gold, with a layer similar to hoarfrost on the mask. Looking further down, there is the set of gilded armor on the corpse owner. The gilded armor completely covered the body from the neck down, and it was impossible to see what the corpse in the armor looked like from the outside.

One detail I noticed, though, was that the armor wasn't spread flat at the bottom of the coffin. Under normal circumstances, the corpse must have only bones left, or maybe not even bones, so the armor in this case must be spread flat on the bottom of the coffin. But there is obviously something supporting it in this armor, could it be that after so many years, the body in the jade coffin has not decayed?

And the most incredible thing to me is that the entire armor is covered with something similar to hoarfrost. I was curious, so I wanted to touch it and see what it was. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from behind me, "Don't move. ”

I froze as I stretched out my hand, and when I turned my head, I saw that the guards had also come over at some point, and were standing behind me with a solemn face.

"It's an ice corpse, you can't touch it."

"Ice corpses?" Cassia and I muttered at the same time, and just as I was about to ask him what he meant, I heard the monk shouting on the side: "Yes, no one should rob me, this thing belongs to me, and the other treasures are yours to take, Lao Tzu wants this one." ”

I saw that his eyes were shining as he stared at the ice corpse, so I asked the monk, "This corpse is also a treasure?" ”

The monk squinted, unable to hide the excitement on his face. He grinned and said mysteriously, "Little brother, you haven't seen this." Have you ever heard of the art of immortality? ”

I was stunned, but nodded anyway.

"It is recorded in ancient books that one of the secret techniques of immortality is to make people take a poison called 'lock poison', which has a similar effect to anchovy mushrooms, which can make people paralyzed in a short period of time, stop breathing, and form a suspended animation effect to deceive everyone. After that, a special method is used to freeze the 'corpse' of suspended animation, forming an ice corpse. After a few years, when the effect of the ice gradually wears off, the person who suspended his death will awaken from his slumber and come back to life. In fact, in the final analysis, it is a special kind of hibernation behavior. ”

"Hibernation?" I couldn't believe it.

The monk nodded and continued, "Immortality is an infinite cycle of process. According to records, the effect of this immortality technique is that after 'hibernation', people will become younger and more energetic than before. After a period of time, it will enter a dormant state again, and so on, and the purpose of eternal life can be achieved. But this is only a theoretical effect, and the actual core question is how to put people into a so-called 'hibernation state'. ”

"Hibernation is impossible for normal people to occur, and the conditions for this 'special hibernation' are very harsh, and the temperature of the body's core must be rapidly lowered. So, the ancients thought of this extreme method - ice corpses. ”

I sorted out the cause and effect a little bit. The "longevity technique" that the monk said was actually a "special hibernation behavior" that occurred in people. And if a person wants to perform this special hibernation behavior, he must meet its prerequisites, that is, ice corpses.

Thinking of this, I asked him, "How can I achieve this ice corpse effect?" ”

The monk said, "As far as I know, there are two ways to form an ice corpse. One is to be like Jin Linggong, in the deep mountains and old forests, find a 10,000-year-old ice cave to lie in. However, this method is not very reliable, and places like the 10,000-year ice cave are hard to find. Coupled with the limitations of feng shui, the best 10,000-year-old ice cave is even rarer. And the goal of the ice cave is too obvious, and it is easy to be hacked after death. As for the other way, it is like the ice corpse in front of you. ”

He pointed to the corpse of the jade coffin and said, "With the help of the power of foreign objects, we can achieve the purpose of the ice corpse." You see, inside the entire jade coffin, except for the layer of armor covering the corpse, nothing else has been affected by this effect, and this effect is perfect. So, throughout the ages, many people have been looking for this power. ”

"So what is it that has that power?"

The monk said: "There are many legends, but none of them have a chance to be confirmed. Some people say that if you eat 10,000-year-old ice, you can form an ice corpse; There are also ancient books that record that a kind of meteorite ice from outside the sky has the effect of ice corpses, but no one can know whether these legends are true or false. But soon, I'll find out the mystery of this ice corpse. ”

Cassia heard from the beginning to the end, and he should have understood his general meaning. Now when I heard the monk say this, I asked him, "What are you going to do?" ”
