Chapter 41: Shock
"Someone else moved over?" I thought about the appearance of the giant priest coming out of the sarcophagus, and said, "But I think it was natural for him to come out of the sarcophagus, and he was obviously there to guard the palace." ”
Zhang Hefang didn't say much, so a few of us continued to walk forward with our heads covered. Only the sound of our footsteps echoed back and forth in the empty underground palace, and the more I walked, the more uncomfortable I became. Is it really that easy?
Perhaps, people sometimes have some cheap mentality, obviously they don't want to encounter any more dangers, but when there is no danger around, they always feel that something is missing, and always feel that things should not go on smoothly.
As a matter of fact, it took us less than fifteen minutes to reach the bottom of the huge bronze tree. When we walked in front of the bronze tree, we found a problem, it turned out that when we were watching from a distance, we saw that the bronze tree was full of branches and leaves, and it seemed that all of them were bronze carved leaves and bells and other things, but when we actually walked under the bronze tree, we looked up and found that it was not a bronze branch or leaf at all. In the crown of the bronze tree was carved an incomparably huge bird.
The bird was perched on the bronze tree, with two huge wings wrapping around its body, and the bronze feathers on the huge wings were lifelike when you looked at it from a distance, but because they were still the color of bronze, it was easy to mistake them for the branches and leaves of the bronze tree. Underneath the bronze tree, there is also a huge container, which at first glance looks very similar to Ding.
On the pedestal under the bronze tree, there is a huge merman totem carved with it, which also looks very vicious. However, when we stepped onto the table here, our attention was immediately drawn to the man sitting cross-legged in front of the bronze tree in front of us.
The man was sturdy, and he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, which were very simple, but I still remember vividly, this is the costume worn by the ancient six royal attendants. It has a rough texture and is also very hard, but it is precisely because of this texture that it will not decay for thousands of years.
We went around to the front of the man, and found that the man had a swarthy face, and it was already shiny. Moreover, the man was very thin, skinny and skinny, and it was clear that he was now a dry corpse.
However, according to legend, don't the six royal attendants have their own ways of immortality, why did this guy die? Could it be that he, like Baran and others, was tired of the so-called immortality and chose to commit suicide?
Obviously, Zhang Hefang and the others were more concerned about the location of the magic weapon, and several of them first came to the front of the person, and all knelt down to give the person a big salute, and then began to search the person's body, looking for the so-called magic weapon, but after looking around, they only found a ball of silk books in the person's hand, and did not see any shadow of the magic weapon.
Zhang Hefang eagerly opened the silk book, but found that he couldn't understand the words written on it at all, so he handed the silk book to Bu Jin, after Bu Jin took it, read it carefully, and then couldn't help frowning, looked at the person again, and then Bu Jin put his hand on the man's head and whispered something, and the person's body instantly collapsed like a deflated balloon.
Bin Zi was taken aback and said: "What's going on, didn't you say that 'the magic weapon is hidden in the hands of sinners, and you must get the life of the waiter' to take it', how can the waiter's body be damaged before the waiter's life is obtained?" ”
Bu Jin shook the silk book in his hand in front of Bin Zi and said, "This is the waiter's order." ”
Zhang Hefang was a little impatient, he asked Binzi not to interject casually, and asked Bu Jin himself: "What is written on the silk book?" ”
Bu Jin picked up the silk book, and according to the words on it, translated it into ancient Chinese, that is, I am the Grandmaster of the Six Emperors, and the way of immortality is ordered here, the Dharma Protector. For more than a thousand years, no one is together, only the corpse of ancient Shu, the sinner of dead Shu, and the demon Gu of sinners. I have suffered from hunger and thirst in the night, so I beg to die. Then he took the corpse of the high priest of Shu, made his corpse change, entrusted him with the important task, and guarded the entrance of the underground palace. If the descendants find it here, they will be the six masters of the Grandmaster, so that the coffin is clever, the wings of Du Yu are spread, the corpse of offended people is obtained, and the magic weapon is obtained.
After Bu Jin finished speaking, the general meaning of this was also obvious. That means that this person used to be one of the six imperial attendants of the Wu Sect, and he obtained an immortal technique, and was ordered by the Wu Sect to guard the magic weapon left by the Wu Sect here. However, after thousands of years, no one has come here, he is alone in the underground palace, except for the corpses of those priests of the ancient Shu Kingdom and the sinners who destroyed the Shu Kingdom, there is only the demon Gu left by the sinners.
I remember that Zhang Hefang once told me that all the Six Imperial Attendants are immortal to some extent, but each of them has certain flaws in their immortality. The heavenly attendant kept his body intact, but he had no memory of his previous expressions; The spirit of the earthly attendant is immortal, but he must rely on robbing other people's bodies to exist; The waiter hidden in the old man's cave in Gu Yongguo survived forever because of the relationship with the old man's cave, but if he left the old man's cave, he would no longer exist.
So what are the flaws of this waiter? He said that he suffered from hunger and thirst, and I thought that it was very likely that he could only live in the dark and not be able to eat, otherwise his body would be corrupted.
Of course, this is just a conjecture, but all in all, this waiter chose to commit suicide after the worst, but he did not forget his mission, he transformed the corpse of the high priest of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and then placed it at the entrance of the underground palace to guard here. It seems that Zhang Hefang's speculation is not wrong, the black and purple sarcophagus was indeed moved there by someone, and this person is one of the six imperial attendants.
"Make the coffin ingenious, show Du Yu's wings, and offend people's corpses", these words seem to be not difficult to understand. The ingenuity of the coffin means that there is a mechanism on the coffin, and after the mechanism is triggered, Du Yu's wings will spread. We looked at the bronze bird of prey on the bronze tree - it didn't look like a cuckoo at all, but it should represent Du Yu.
So the body of the sinner was trapped in the wings of the great bronze bird of prey.
The sinner of the dead Shu - if we are not mistaken, it should refer to the most late generation of monarchs of the ancient Shu kingdom - turtle spirit. Could it be that the corpse of the ancient Shu Emperor Turtle Ling, who was once a glorious place thousands of years ago, was trapped in it? As soon as I thought of this, my heart pounded for some reason, and I said that I was finally going to get the magic weapon.
However, why should a corpse be imprisoned with such a large bronze vessel, could it be that the corpse of the turtle spirit is also a zombie?
Zhang Hefang asked everyone to pull out their waist knives as weapons, in case the bronze raptor's wings were opened, and the corpses inside would be corpse transformation.
Everyone nodded, and at the last moment, everyone was more or less nervous.
It was not very difficult to find the coffin, because it was very conspicuous, just behind the bronze tree. Zhang Hefang and I stepped forward, and the rest of the people stayed under the bronze tree and waited.
The coffin was about a meter high, and it was all built of white stone, and Zhang Hefang and I climbed up, and the trigger point of the mechanism seemed to be not hidden, almost in the center of the coffin. Zhang Hefang and I looked at each other and smiled. It was a disc the size of a steering wheel, and Zhang Hefang and I pressed it together, and we heard the sound of "boom, boom, boom".
We turned our heads to see that the wings of the bronze birds of prey on the bronze tree began to open little by little, accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing.
I saw a smile on their faces, along the way, there have been a lot of dangerous things, and now, this is finally coming to an end.
As the bronze wings spread bigger and bigger, the smiles on everyone's faces became thicker and thicker. However, in this world, things must be reversed, and I saw that when the bronze wings were fully unfolded, the smiles of Binzi and the others froze. Surprised, confused, they frowned and looked inside the bronze wings, and soon their frozen smiles turned into cries of horror.
The old python was the first to cry out, and as he stepped back, he pointed at the bronze raptor and shouted hysterically, "Fuck! Yes, yes, it's a treasure!! ”
