Chapter 23: Two Ancient Books
The third uncle shook his head and said: "I remember the situation in the tomb of the King of Dian very clearly, it is right that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent people to destroy the tomb, but it is only in a place other than the main tomb, they have not been to the main tomb of the tomb of the King of Dian at all, and they have not even found the main tomb at all, otherwise, the main tomb of the King of Dian cannot be so well preserved." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoMore importantly, we found traces of Liu Bowen's visit in the main tomb, so the Tianshi must have been taken by Liu Bowen. ”
Ban Cuntou immediately found evidence to refute it, and argued: "If Liu Bowen took it, then why is it not mentioned in Song Taibao's epitaph at all?" It simply doesn't make sense. ”
(Note: Song Taibao was the head of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard, and he was deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he was sent to supervise Liu Bowen's tomb robbery plan.) This person's tomb was accidentally discovered by the third uncle, and from his epitaph, the third uncle knew about Liu Bowen's tomb robbery plan, so there was a series of later things, in the previous article, this person was mentioned. )
It is also true that Song Taibao's epitaph describes Liu Bowen's tomb robbery plan in great detail, although it was mentioned above that the tomb of the king of Dian is Liu Bowen's last stop, but it did not mention the legendary key to the stone of heaven, so Liu Bowen's trip to the tomb of the king of Dian, whether he got the stone or not, is really unknown.
The third uncle looked extremely distressed, such a result was unacceptable to him.
Ban Cuntou actually didn't say a word in his heart, he thought to himself, maybe long before Liu Bowen, someone stole the heavenly stone from the tomb of the king of Dian, so Liu Bowen's trip to the tomb of the king of Dian was also nothing, which just explains why Song Taibao's epitaph did not mention the heavenly stone.
Of course, he didn't dare to tell the third uncle about this kind of speculation, because even if it was proved that someone had stolen the Tianshi one step ahead of Liu Bowen, there was no way to find out who this person was, and with the temper of the third uncle, even if there was a slight possibility, he would continue to look for it frantically.
But the Li family is now on the cusp, if the third uncle frequently appears all over China again, I am afraid that no matter how good the luck is, no matter how great the strength of the family is, one day it will be caught by the people above, of course Ban Cuntou does not want such a thing to happen, so he hesitated for a long time and did not tell the third uncle what he thought.
Seeing that the third uncle was frowning and looked preoccupied, Ban Cuntou said encouragingly: "Third brother, let's look carefully, maybe we will find other clues from Liu Bowen's coffin." ”
The third uncle seemed to be ten years old suddenly, sighed heavily, nodded, but no longer had any interest in going to the coffin to find clues, sat on the side of the tomb by himself, and smoked.
Ban Cuntou smiled bitterly, the situation in Liu Bowen's coffin was clear at a glance, if there were really any clues, they would have been discovered a long time ago, and now he is exploring in the coffin for the second time, it is just to make a show and comfort the third uncle.
But what he didn't expect was that when he touched Liu Bowen's corpse indiscriminately, he suddenly touched a raised hard object, which made him feel very strange, because it could be judged from the feel that the hard object pierced directly into Liu Bowen's body.
This discovery made Ban Cuntou feel very surprised, and he didn't care about much, and directly 'swept' away the clothes that Liu Bowen was wearing that had almost turned to ashes, so that the upper body of Liu Bowen's body was completely exposed.
After glancing at the upper body of Liu Bowen's corpse, there was an astonishing discovery, it turned out that there was not only one hard object that had been touched before, but three, judging from their shape, it seemed to be a nail!
Liu Bowen has three nails stuck in his heart! Three finger-thick nails!
This discovery was simply unbelievable, and while he was surprised, he immediately turned back to the third uncle and shouted: "Third brother, come here quickly, there is a new discovery!" ”
The third uncle was smoking a cigarette decadently, and after hearing the exclamation of Bancuntou, his heart suddenly jumped, and he thought that Bancuntou had the legendary Tianshi.
The third uncle swept away the previous fatigue, and suddenly came to his senses, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, got up and ran to Liu Bowen's coffin with one arrow step.
When he saw the three nails stuck in Liu Bowen's heart, although the third uncle was also a little surprised, he was more disappointed in his heart, because what he wanted to see most was the legendary Tianshi.
Seeing that the third uncle's face was full of disappointment, Ban Cuntou smiled dryly and said: "Third brother, don't think about it anymore, you take a good look at the three nails, what are they used for, how can they be inserted in Liu Bowen's chest?" ”
The third uncle didn't want to sweep the interest of the board, he scraped the head of the nail with the nail of his index finger, wanting to see what kind of material the nail was, but he didn't expect that as soon as the nail touched the nail, the head of the nail was broken.
The third uncle picked up the fragments of the nail and looked at it for a while, and said to the board inch: "This is a wooden nail." I don't know if the nail was inserted by Liu Bowen when he was alive or after his death, which is a bit weird. ”
Ban Cuntou said with some doubts: "If Liu Bowen was inserted into the wooden nails when he was alive, then this is murder, but even if it is murder, when he is buried, it is impossible for his descendants not to clean up these wooden nails." Then there is no doubt that Liu Bowen was inserted into the wooden nail after his death, it may be inserted by his descendants, or it may be inserted by people who came to rob the tomb. ”
The third uncle thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Before we came, there was no trace of theft in this tomb, so these three wooden nails could not have been inserted by later generations, but only by his descendants, even if they were not, they must have known the existence of these three wooden nails." ”
Ban Cuntou said in disbelief: "But why do you want to insert three wooden nails in Liu Bowen's heart?" ”
Asked this, Ban Cuntou reacted suddenly, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Could it be that Liu Bowen's corpse has undergone a corpse transformation!" These are three wooden nails, and they are not ordinary wooden nails, but peach wood nails used to suppress corpses! ”
The third uncle nodded and said: "At present, there is only this explanation in the past, and it can also confirm your previous guess, the reason why Liu Bowen's body is so well preserved is probably because he cheated the corpse immediately after death." ”
Ban Cuntou was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that his previous random guess turned out to be the truth of the matter. But he still didn't understand, so he asked again: "But this is not a place to raise corpses, how can Liu Bowen's corpse become a zombie when it is so good, this is unreasonable?" ”
The third uncle shook his head, saying that he couldn't figure it out, but his interest was also brought up because of this matter, so he said: "Let's check the rest of Liu Bowen's body again, and there may be unexpected discoveries." ”
Ban Cuntou nodded, and ordered two of his subordinates to come over and ask them to flip Liu Bowen's body over and see where his back was.
The people brought by the third uncle were all very bold people, and there was no psychological pressure in the face of the dead body, the two didn't say a word, one dragged Liu Bowen's shoulders, and the other grabbed Liu Bowen's feet, and lifted the corpse.
Just as they were about to turn the body over, the third uncle suddenly found it at the bottom of the coffin, and he immediately said to the two subordinates: "You two don't put the body down yet, just keep it still!" ”
Although the two subordinates were a little puzzled, they obediently did not move Liu Bowen's body again, and lifted Liu Bowen's body in the air like that.
The third uncle looked extremely excited, and when he leaned into the coffin first, he reached out and tinkered with the bottom of the coffin a few times, and then took out a red wooden box the size of a shoebox.
Like a coffin, the wooden box was painted with a thick layer of red lacquer, but the color was still bright after hundreds of years, and the lid of the wooden box was beautifully carved, about two fingers thick, and the top was not locked.
The third uncle held the wooden box in his hand like a treasure, and he sighed to the board on the side: "Fourth! We've wasted so much effort, and we've finally gotten the Celestial Stone Key. “
Although Ban Cuntou was also very excited, he did not reach the crazy state of the third uncle, he said a little proudly: "Hehe, that's all your fourth brother's credit, this time the third brother, you have to thank me!" ”
If it was in the past, the third uncle would definitely praise the board inch, but at this moment, he didn't have the intention of celebrating at all, he was so excited that his hands trembled, and then he opened the lid of the wooden box very carefully.
However, when the third uncle saw the things in the wooden box clearly, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and then became even more gloomy. The head of the board is also like stagnant water, and his eyes are staring at the things in the wooden box, with a look of disbelief.
The two of them were stunned in place for a long time, but they couldn't help but scold first: "I'll wipe it!" Why are there two books in it, and what's going on? ”
That's right, no one thought that the red wooden box that was hidden very secretly contained not the legendary Heavenly Stone, but two ancient books, which made the third uncle and Ban Cuntou's excited mood disappear for a moment.
The third uncle's heart was very angry, if he hadn't tried his best to restrain his temperament, he would have wanted to drop the wooden box in his hand a long time ago.
After a while, the third uncle's reason finally triumphed over his anger, he regained his previous shrewdness, and said to Ban Cuntou: "If it were just two ordinary books, Liu Bowen would not be able to hide them so secretly, these two books must be a little unusual." ”
Ban Cuntou said with some indignation: "No matter how unusual it is, it has nothing to do with us, our purpose is the Tianshi Key, and we want two broken books to dry birds!" ”
The third uncle also understood this truth, but he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and said, "Don't be in a hurry, maybe the whereabouts of the Tianshi Key are mentioned in these two books." (To be continued.) )
