Chapter 504: Jiang Ziya's Coffin

Before we could ask this question, Madman Six let out a sigh of relief, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Tian Liwen and Professor Shan may have something to do with this kind of scripture."

When he said that, we were at a loss.

The cousin then explained: "The purpose of Tian Liwen and Professor Shan is probably not to come here to inspect murals and architecture, as they say, but for something else. ”

We still didn't quite understand, but my cousin didn't explain anything, but stretched out his index finger and pressed a pattern on the branch of the 'root tree' - because on that 'branch' there were some charm-like patterns in addition to the secret linen words-but no one expected that after he pressed it like this, something unexpected happened:

At the moment when my cousin pressed it, I heard a "pop", and a round hole appeared on the branch, which was not big, only the size of a bean.

At first, we thought it was a fly, because at first glance it looked like a fly, and it even made a buzzing sound like a fly, but when we looked closely, we knew that it was not a fly, because it seemed to have a long mouth on its head.

Xiao Lei reacted the fastest, he waved his hand and grabbed one in the air.

At this time, Madman Six hurriedly handed over a glass bottle, which was only the size of his thumb, which should be used by Madman Six to hold medicinal powder.

Xiao Lei covered it with his hand, and put the flying insect into the bottle, all the actions only happened in a few seconds, and before we could take a closer look at the insects in the bottle, we heard my cousin say: "Quick, everyone follow those insects, see where they will go?" ”

Fortunately, these flying insects do not fly fast, and what is even more strange is that these insects will fly and stop, as if they are forming different formations, one will be round, the other will be square, and whether it is round or square, the shape is very regular, which shocked us.

The female translator also took out her camera in time and took a few photos of this "flying insect formation".

I originally thought that these bugs would fly into that hole - the one that the human skin got into, because I vaguely felt that these bugs were related to the human skin, and the direction in which these bugs flew was exactly the direction of the hole, as for why they felt this way, I can't say, it was just an intuition.

Sure enough, the flying insects flew to the side of the hole, but the hole had been mysteriously sealed, and after circling around the place at the entrance of the cave a few times, they continued to fly north.

In fact, we are still very unfamiliar with this area, except for the vicinity of the crater, and the old man Yuan's home, we have not been to other places around here.

And when Old Man Yuan saw these flying insects flying north, he couldn't help muttering, "It's broken, it's broken." ”

His voice was not loud, and everyone was engrossed in following the flying insects, and no one paid special attention to the few words he muttered. Only Xiao Lei and I, because we were next to him, noticed his strange reaction, and we both couldn't help but look at Old Man Yuan, and found that he suddenly looked anxious, as if he was worried about something, and his pace increased significantly, and the speed of flying insects also increased significantly.

What's going on? Why did Old Man Yuan have such a reaction?

Although we were very curious, at this time, seeing that everyone was in a hurry to chase the flying insects, it was inconvenient to ask more. When they climbed over a small hill and saw the scene in front of them, everyone was taken aback, because the terrain in front of them was so unique.

Not far in front of us, there was a big crack, this crack was very wide, at least more than ten meters, when I came to the edge of the crack and looked down, I only glanced at it, and then quickly took a step back, because I was dizzy, I didn't dare to look down anymore.

It is said that compared with the previous bottomless cliffs, this cliff is not too deep, only about twenty or thirty meters, and under the sunlight, you can even see the bottom of the valley.

But for some reason, why do I get so dizzy just by looking at it?

Not only me, but everyone else reacted in a similar way to me - first looked down, then quickly retreated, as if I was afraid that I would not be able to stand on my feet and fall.

At this time, Old Man Yuan hurriedly said to everyone: "Don't look down, it will be very dangerous, it's better during the day now, especially in the evening or at night, if you look down, you will fall down." ”

Old man Yuan's words were too inexplicable, at this time, the flying insects had already flown through this crack, and it seemed that we were being chased by a way to continue to chase them.

We just wanted to ask Old Man Yuan in detail, when we heard Xiao Lei point to the left and suddenly say, "Look, there's a bridge there!" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, more than ten meters on the left, there was a bridge, and Old Man Yuan and Mr. Chen shook their heads again and again and said, "That's not a bridge......

How could it not be a bridge? Before the two of them could finish speaking, everyone followed Xiao Lei and quickly walked towards the bridge. But when we got closer, we were all stunned - it wasn't a bridge, but a stone pillar between the cracks!

And, what is even more incredible is that the stone pillar is not artificially built, but "grows" there, that is, this stone pillar is naturally formed, with the thickness of the bowl mouth, and the two ends of the stone pillar are "growing" together with the stones on both sides of the crack, this wonderful terrain, we have seen it for the first time.

Everyone thinks that this is even more peculiar than the platform that sticks out from the cliff.

By this time, the mass of bugs had flown to the other side of the crack and quickly disappeared. Xiao Lei was the most bold, he leaned forward and stepped on the stone pillar with his foot, as if trying to get up from the stone pillar to the opposite side.

Old man Yuan and Mr. Chen hurriedly stopped him, old man Yuan said that a few decades ago, there were several people who just wanted to climb over this stone pillar, and fell down and died, as far as he knew, no one could climb to the opposite side alive, so this stone pillar was very evil.

Hearing him say this, Xiao Lei quickly withdrew his legs, and we also advised Xiao Lei to believe this kind of thing rather than believe it.

"How long is this crack, can we get around it?" Sister Li followed the crack and asked while looking.

Mr. Chen shook his head and said: "Actually, this crack is quite long, at least more than ten miles, and there are twists and turns, there are many bends, at both ends of this crack, connected is a high mountain like a knife cutting axe, stretching for hundreds of miles, this is like a natural barrier, separating the two sides of the crack, it can't be turned over at all, don't look at the two sides of this crack, there are only more than ten meters, but if you want to pass, it's a little impossible." ”

The old man Yuan next to him also said with emotion: "Yes, I have lived here for decades, and I have never been to the other side, although I have seen it countless times through the cracks." ”

We had to look at the other side stupidly, and there was a feeling of "although it was close in front of us, it was actually thousands of miles away".

The most regrettable thing for us is that we still couldn't track the whereabouts of those flying insects, my cousin looked at the opposite side of the crack, his brows were tightened, as if he was thinking about something quickly, suddenly, he turned his head to Xiao Lei and said, "Didn't you catch one of these flying insects just now?" Is it still there? Take it out and take a look. ”

After being reminded by his cousin, Xiao Lei hurriedly took out the vial, and the flying insect was still inside, I don't know if it was suffocated, lying there motionless.

Xiao Lei lifted the bottle, and we all gathered around to take a closer look at the insect, and when we saw the shape of the flying insect, everyone was shocked - it was not a bug at all, but a bird!

Although it was only the size of a fly, it had all the characteristics of a bird - a beak, claws, two wings, and black feathers, which we had never seen before, even smaller than a hummingbird.

It turned out that the flying insect was not a bug at all, but this kind of bird!

"Cousin, why do you want to press that pattern? Did you know that when you press that place, something will come out of it? Hongmei asked her cousin thoughtfully.

The cousin nodded and said, "Well, because that charm is very special, it is a charm of the Taoist Sanqing Sect, and it is said that that kind of charm was first created by Jiang Ziya."

There is such a legend.

Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu of Zhou, established the Western Zhou Dynasty, when Jiang Ziya was dying, he said to King Wu of Zhou that after his death, his coffin should not be put into the ground, but hung on the Jinluan Palace of King Wu of Zhou, when there was a rebellion in any place, he used the coffin, the end of the charm was painted, pointing in that direction, and the rebellion in that place would soon be quelled, and in this way, the eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty could be protected. But you must not open the coffin to see, because as soon as the coffin is opened, the Qi of the Zhou Dynasty will be finished quickly.

So, King Wu of Zhou did as Jiang Ziya said-hang Jiang Ziya's coffin on the main hall, and when there was a rebellion somewhere, he would use the coffin to draw the end of the charm to point to the place where the rebellion occurred, and the rebellion would soon be quelled.

In this way, the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty from generation to generation have concocted the same method, and sure enough, the rivers and mountains of the Zhou Dynasty have been passed down for several generations, and they are still solid.

But when it came to King Zhou You, he had an irrepressible curiosity about Jiang Ziya's coffin, he had to open Jiang Ziya's coffin and want to see what was inside, although many ministers were bitter to admonish each other, King Zhou You still insisted on opening the coffin.

But when King Zhou You asked the warriors to open the coffin, the coffin lid seemed to grow with the coffin, and it couldn't be pried open, and in the end there was no way, so King Zhou You had to send the historian and ask him to look up some historical books to see if there was a way to open the coffin.

In the records of the historical books, the historian really found a way to open the coffin, that is, press the charm at one end of the coffin with his hand, and the coffin will open automatically.

King Zhou You was overjoyed when he heard this, so he hurriedly used his hands to press the spell on the coffin, and sure enough, the coffin lid opened with a bang, and then, eighteen black birds flew out of it.

These eighteen birds flew in all directions, and the Zhou Dynasty soon became chaotic in the world, some people said that the eighteen black birds were the eighteen anti-kings. ”

After listening to this, Old Man Yuan nodded and said, "Well, I also know this legend, it is a story recorded in the Taoist classics of the Ming Dynasty, and I have also seen the shape of that charm, which is exactly the same as the charm on the 'branch'." ”

Is there really such a strange thing in the world?

The legend that my cousin said was obviously just a legend, and it couldn't be true, but why did the charm on the 'branch' really fly out when I pressed the charm on the 'branch' with my hand, and it was still such a small bird?
