Chapter Seventy-Five: The Black Coffin

First of all, it was a green thing, and at first I couldn't see the specific shape, but when I went down a little further, I suddenly found that it was a big ding. Of course, this kind of tripod is different from the square tripod I have seen before, this tripod is round, and there is a tripod lid at the top, which is not like a bronze ritual vessel in the tomb, but like a medicine tripod used by ancient alchemists when refining pills.

This tripod is seven or eight meters high, and the diameter is also about ten meters, like a behemoth, the lid of the big tripod is hollowed out, and the real red smoke is wafting out from the hollow cover.

Immediately after that, the rope came to an end and hung tightly on the ground.

This big tripod is placed in the center of the position, stand still at this moment, only to find that on this tripod, there is still a huge iron chain, the whole tripod is entangled, as if to trap something in the tripod.

In addition, on the ice wall, there is also a carved ice painting, which is mainly carved in ice, and the lines are filled with colorful paintings, and at first glance, it is a mural formed by countless colored lines. When I looked closely, I saw that the first half of the mural was a decorative mural with no practical significance, depicting the common scenery of the sky in the ancient tombs, and the scene of the gathering of immortals.

In ancient times, it was called death, also called 'immortal death', also called 'going west', which shows the expectations of the ancients for the world after death, therefore, in the ancient tomb murals, the scene of depicting the sky is the most common, of course, there are also tomb owners who believe in Buddhism before their death, and there will be a large number of images depicting the Western Elysium in the ancient tombs.

I looked down at the ice murals, the ice walls were rounded, forming an arc, and I looked down, and about halfway through, the view of the sky stopped, and then in the second part, I finally made some discoveries. This part obviously depicts the tomb owner during his lifetime.

This time, the image of the tomb owner in the mural has changed, no longer the image of wearing a feather robe, but a tall man, hugging left and right, sitting upright, looking like a hegemon. Underneath him, there was a group of people, one of whom was more prominently drawn, and this person was wearing a very different costume from the people around him, showing that he and this group of people should not be from the same place.

This man is holding a black thing in his hand, what is it if it is not the black light?

I immediately judged that this person with a black light should be undoubted. Judging by the words, the real owner of the tomb in this place may be the tall man in the seat?

The background of the mural is a mountain range with simple lines, and the people in the mural are dressed in animal skins, indicating that they are a people living in the snow-capped mountains. I thought to myself, could it be that the people in the mural are a certain ethnic group who lived in Xuelong Mountain thousands of years ago?

Why did Pu Zhen have anything to do with them?

Below the mural, it is a situation of starting construction, only to see Puzhen standing on a high place, scolding Fang Xuan, and directing countless people to start construction. Many of these people carried buckets, and they didn't know what substance was in the barrels, and they poured them on the ice, and the next digging became as simple as cutting tofu with a knife.

Obviously, this depicts the excavation of the Xuanbing Tomb. However, the most bizarre thing is the next development.

Immediately afterwards, a big tripod was put into my current position, and a black coffin was put into the tripod, and in the coffin, a person was lying there!

This person was the tall man who hugged him left and right before, looking at his appearance, but he was only thirty or forty years old, with a beard, and was in the prime of life, lying in a coffin. The most peculiar thing is that he is still alive! I even thought I was dazzled, so I blinked vigorously, and when I looked again, the person lying in the coffin in the mural was still with his eyes open and smiling, and even the person in charge of the burial next to him was still talking to him, as if he needed to ask for something.

In the last mural, the lid of the coffin was closed, the lid of the tripod was also lowered, and then the bronze tripod was sealed with iron chains.

I was shocked when I saw it, and my heart said how could a living person be put in a coffin? And it seems that this person went in voluntarily, what's going on? Could it be some kind of witchcraft that is strange and confusing?

It seems that the real owner of this Xuanbing Tomb should be sealed in the big ding not far from me, and I suddenly had a strange thought: Is he still alive now?

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but look at the big tripod next to me, because the tripod was too tall, so from this angle, I could only see its foot and belly, but this glance, for a moment, made my scalp numb, because I suddenly saw that under the belly of the big ding, a black head poked out, looked sideways at me, made a peeping posture, and I don't know how long I looked at me like this.

I suddenly confronted the black head, and for a moment my blood froze, but experience told me that I couldn't sit still at this time, so I endured the fear in my heart, pulled out my dagger and ran quickly towards the big ding.

The pitch-black head remained in that position, and when I got closer, I realized that it was a fake human head.

I saw that under this big ding, three black ghost heads were cast, and they formed a triangle in different positions. The ghost's head looked strange, resembling a burnt head, and even gave me a familiar feeling, as if I had seen it somewhere.

I pondered in my mind for a moment, and suddenly realized that the front of these three ghost heads was very similar to the charred black masks I had seen in the tomb of the Earth Ghost King before.

I suddenly came up with a conjecture: If the person who made the black light is Pu Zhen, then the seven lamps in the hands of the Earth Ghost King will also be given by Pu Zhen? Judging from the point in time where the two are located, this point is very likely.

So, why did Pu Zhen hand over those seven lamps to the Earth Ghost King?

What do these black ghost heads, charred masks, represent?

They all seem to be related to Puzhen, but Puzhen is also a human being, in history, he is just a person who knows how to watch the wind and water, build tombs and build tombs, no matter how powerful, after all, he is an ordinary person, how did such a person create a black light?

If, according to Lu Su, the power brought by the black light is equivalent to a key to unlocking the human code, then how did Puzhen master the manufacturing method of this key?

What has Puzhen experienced in his life?

It seems that Lu Su hasn't been here yet, so I don't know if there will be any clues about the 'key' left here?

Thinking of this, I immediately went back to the mural, hoping to find some clues. But it was said that after the big tripod was sealed, there were still a bunch of women tied up by ropes around them, dressed in gorgeous clothes, but they looked like they were crying, and it seemed that they were going to be buried.

Sure enough, this group of weak women were thrown around Dading with their whole bodies tied up and left to fend for themselves. This is where the mural comes to an end. So I walked around the big ding, but I didn't see the shadow of a woman, and I couldn't help but feel strange.

Could it be that these women were all eaten by the heavenly soldiers in the end?

When I thought of Old Man Zhao, I felt that something was wrong. Now that I've descended here, I've got a rough idea of the structure of this place. The whole is circular, with the big tripod in the middle, and some murals on the surrounding ice walls, but other than that, there is nothing else, and there is not necessarily any danger.

In that case, how did Old Man Zhao become that ghost?

Don't......

I couldn't help but look at the big ding beside me, thinking of the scene of the living being buried in the coffin with a smile, I felt a fur in my heart, and said in my heart: Could it be that the change of the old man Zhao is related to this big ding? But this tripod is tied to an iron cable, and it doesn't look like it's been passive?

After thinking about it, I decided to figure things out, so I climbed up the ladder. There are birds and beasts on this tripod moire protrusion, and there are iron chains through from time to time, so it is very easy to climb, and it takes little effort to reach the top of the tripod cover.

This up, I understand what's going on, it turns out that the hollow place above the lid is actually very large, I was in the distance before, so I didn't see it, and then I stood on the lid and found that these hollow points can allow a person to climb in.

I squatted down and looked inside along the hollow place, only to see that there was smoke inside, and I could vaguely see a black coffin at the bottom, which appeared from time to time in the smoke, and there were some charm-like patterns on the black coffin, but I couldn't see what it looked like.

I thought about it, gritted my teeth, and threw down the cold fireworks in my hand, and in an instant, the situation below became clearer, and the first time I saw the situation, I was taken aback, but I saw that next to the black coffin, there was a corpse!

The corpse was tall and large, with a purple face, a beard, and a gorgeous costume, who was not the owner of the tomb in the mural? It's just that this corpse didn't have the smiling look when it was buried, but its face was hideous, its hands and feet were bent, a bit like the feeling of suffocation, and the distorted expression and hideous posture made people look very uncomfortable.

How could his body be outside the coffin?

I said in my heart, could it be that Old Man Zhao and others went down to the end, opened the coffin, and pulled the body out?

The cold green light of the cold smoke and fire irradiated the miserable, and the skin of the dead corpse also turned into a miserable green, which was extremely terrifying. I forced myself to look away from the corpse and looked at the black coffin next to me, only to see that the coffin was printed with yellow runes, and the lid of the coffin seemed to be closed.

I find it strange.

Let's ask, there is the one who pulls the body out, and then covers the coffin lid back? Isn't this taking off your pants and farting, doing this extra thing, and you still want to set up a torii when you become a bitch? From what I know about Old Man Zhao, he is not a person who would do such a thing.

Thinking about it this way, the black coffin is even more mysterious, and in the eyes, it seems that there is a strange seductive power, which makes people want to get a glimpse of it. But my sanity played a key role in moments like this, and it didn't make me jump impulsively.
