Through the narration of the old man Yuan, the more we know about the crater, the more we know, and the space under the crater, all kinds of unbelievable mysteries, can't help but make us smack.

Especially what Old Man Yuan said, this kind of "living metal" is even more incredible, but what surprises us even more is that there are bamboo slips in that crater!

This shows that before Xuanheng and the others went in, someone had already been there.

I listened to Old Man Yuan continue to speak: "My Xuanheng senior, before he fled to that space, he had been there countless times, but every time he went in the past, not only did he have to take special decoctions, but also had a strict time limit, because his father had warned him again and again - in that space, the continuous stay must not exceed one hour.

Therefore, every time he went in, he would bring a special incense, and the time when one of these incense was burned was exactly one hour, so every time he went in, he had to come out before the incense was burned.

It is precisely because of this that he does not have enough time and no mood to slowly observe in that space, but the world is unpredictable, due to fate, under the coercion of the torrent of history, he has an unexpected discovery of that space.

At that time, the situation was already very tense, Li Zicheng's army had surrounded this area to the death, Zhu Lotting was no longer able to escape, and Xuan Heng had already made up his mind, in order to repay Zhu Lotting's kindness, he decided to live and die with Zhu Lotting, advance and retreat together, when thinking about the place to escape, Xuan Heng thought of this crater.

Because the bottom of this crater is extremely secret, the space is large enough, and the way to open it is only known to him, therefore, that crater should be an excellent refuge.

But at the beginning, Xuan Heng definitely didn't expect that he would stay here forever, he just wanted to take refuge for a while, but he encountered one of the biggest obstacles, that is, the mysterious rule - the time to stay at a time must not exceed an hour.

Even as a temporary shelter, they definitely stayed for far more than an hour, so Xuan Heng especially wanted to know, why is there such a rule? What happens after an hour?

However, at that time, his father had already passed away, and by Xuan Heng's generation, it had already been several generations, and Xuan Heng could not ask his elders for advice, but the shape was extremely urgent, and he couldn't allow him to investigate slowly, so he decided to take a risk and verify it in person, and see what the consequences would be if he stayed in that space for more than an hour in a row.

So, one day, he didn't even drink the usual decoction, so he went into that space, turned his heart sideways, and stayed in it for three hours in a row, and when he came out, there was nothing abnormal at all.

In this way, Xuan Heng felt at that time that he suddenly figured it out - those regulations, such as drinking decoction before entering and not being allowed to go in for more than an hour after entering, were actually just a psychological intimidation technique, in order to make future generations have a sense of awe, and other than that, it had no practical significance.

At that time, he was still happy about his discovery, and after that, he went there with Zhu Leting and others without any scruples, but what he never expected was that a terrible accident really happened - they became monsters who are not people and ghosts, and they will never be able to leave here.

Xuan Heng later reflected, the reason why he stayed for three hours was fine, it may be that he often went in and out of there, and his body had a strong adaptability to that environment, so he was fine, and after seeing everyone become like this, he really understood that the regulations of the ancestors were by no means fooling people, but the protection of future generations, and he had not only failed to deeply realize it before, but also secretly laughed at the pedantry of his ancestors.

From this, Xuan Heng felt that his understanding of this space turned out to be so shallow and arrogant. So, after all the qiē was stabilized, Xuan Heng observed every corner of this space one by one, and did not miss a single place.

One day, on the north side of the crater, Xuan Heng found a long and narrow square hole, the entrance of the hole was a square made of stones, the size was only two feet square, and a person could barely climb into it.

Xuan Heng can be sure that this kind of cave must have been built artificially, by his ancestors? But he never heard his father mention it.

But who else has been here besides their own ancestors?

At the beginning, he lay at the entrance of the cave, and looked into the cave with the light emitted by the stone, it was dark inside, and he couldn't see anything, and at that time, Xuan Heng felt that this hole was a little scary, so he didn't get into it.

But as the days went by, he was itching in his heart, and he was always curious about what would be in the cave, and at last, he made up his mind, and found a shining stone in the crater, soaked it in a bowl of water, and climbed into the cave with the bright light emitted by the stone.

Originally, he thought that the narrow hole must be very stuffy and suffocating, but what he didn't expect was that the inside was very well ventilated, and after climbing in about ten feet, the space suddenly became clearer, and it was even bigger than a room, which made Xuan Heng very surprised.

What surprised Xuan Heng even more was that it was full of bamboo slips, and the font on it was a big seal, so it must be the text before the Qin Dynasty.

Xuanheng's ancient literary foundation is very good, so when he looks at these big seals, he doesn't feel difficult, and it is this kind of written record that allows him to know more secrets of this space.

For this astonishing discovery, the first thing that shocked Xuan Heng was that before his ancestors discovered this space, there were already people who had been here, and they were still ancients.

It may be the special environment in this space that makes these bamboo slips exceptionally well preserved, and the handwriting on them is very clear.

But as for what was recorded in these bamboo slips, he didn't tell me in detail, but because I suffered from Yan zhòng's arthritis, and Xuanheng's seniors, because he used stones to treat me, he talked about stones, of course, these wonderful stones, he also knew through those bamboo slips.

In particular, the 'living metal' that I just said can always 'remember' the shape of it when it was separated from a meteorite, and if you cut it into several pieces, each of them can grow into its original size and shape, don't you think it's strange?

But what's even weirder is that if you don't want it to 'revert' to its original shape, you're going to have to use human skin - when you turn this metal into a shape, you just wrap it in human skin for a while, and it will fix into that shape, and it won't go back to its original shape.

It is also recorded on the bamboo slip that a general at that time made a special armor out of this metal, and how is this armor made?

Speaking of which, the method of making armor is extremely cruel and strange - the general, first stripped a living person, fixed it into a position, and then applied the body surface of the living person with a thick layer of medicinal slurry, and then melted the metal into a paste, and then applied it to the surface of the living person's body, and when the metal cooled, it would condense into a figurine-like hard shell on the surface of the human body - it is said that many of Qin Shi Huang's terracotta warriors and horses were made in a similar way - after the military general peeled off the shell of this figurine, Turned into a kind of armor of its own.

This armor was not only extremely light, but also extremely hard, and it was in this armor that the general once braved the rain of arrows to successfully rescue the king from tens of thousands of people, and all those who charged with him were killed.

In the era of cold weapons, the most lethal is the bow and arrow, for the dense bow and arrow, ordinary armor can not be blocked, but the special metal armor of the general can completely resist the bow and arrow, which is amazing. ”

After listening to Old Man Yuan's narration, we not only know the characteristics of this metal, but also know that it seems to have a very subtle connection with human skin, and this branch-like metal is used to hang human skin on trees, which should not be just a coincidence.

But what puzzles us is, what does Tian Liwen's sentence mean? Listening to the meaning of her words, Professor Shan and the two of them should have come up to this tree to see it, and after seeing it, it had a certain heavy influence on them.

And, for the ins and outs of it, Tian Liwen doesn't want us to know, what is going on? Not to mention anything else, this tree is so tall that it is possible to climb it unless someone like Xiao Lei, who has been specially trained, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to climb up, and how did Tian Liwen and Professor Shan climb it?

We don't have a clue about this kind of question at the moment, so we may have to go back and ask Tian Liwen and Professor Shan. At this time, the cousin, who was squatting on the ground and looking at the words on the "branch", said softly: "Tian Liwen's secret may be hidden in these words." ”

Madman Six and Old Man Yuan were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and hurriedly squatted down, together with their cousin, looking at the dense words on it, and we were still waiting silently beside us, hoping that they could find any important information from these words.

"Tian Liwen's sentence is really related to these words", Madman Six stood up and said such a sentence leisurely.

What the hell is going on? We all looked at the three old men in a daze, eagerly waiting for their explanations.

It was my cousin who spoke first: "The beginning of these words is just a Taoist spell, this kind of spell is very strange, it is impossible to know when it appeared, but in the Zhu Yuanzhang period, this kind of spell was the most popular - it was specially used to surpass those who were skinned."

Because during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the law was particularly strict, and there were many officials, as long as there was a little corruption, they would be skinned, and then the skin was filled with grass and hung in front of the yamen, used to kill chickens to show monkeys, and be wary of the next official.

At that time, there was a popular theory that such people who were skinned and died, if they did not go too far, would be reborn as foxes or minks in the next life, and would still be killed by hunters, and then their fur would be stripped off and made into clothes, and they would never be able to turn over.

And the general scriptures can't surpass this kind of skinned person, only Taoism has a kind of scripture that can specifically surpass this kind of person who dies because of the punishment of skinning.

After this sutra transcendence, a person who has been skinned and died can enter the normal cycle of reincarnation and be reborn as a human being. Therefore, at that time, many family members of officials who were skinned and died spared no expense to invite Taoist priests who knew this kind of scripture to overspend the deceased. ”

As soon as my cousin said this, Old Man Yuan couldn't help but add: "That's right, in fact, not only people who have been skinned, there are special transcendent scriptures, but also people who have been beheaded, hanged, drowned, etc., people with different ways of dying generally have special scriptures for transcendence, that is, as long as it is not a natural death, there are supporting transcendent scriptures, but later, these scriptures were lost." ”

It's incredible, it's the first time we've heard of it, but what does what my cousin and Old Man Yuan said have to do with the mystery of Tian Liwen and Professor Shan's climb to the tree?
