Chapter 200: Broken Face
Although the pit of rare birds and beasts is not as large as the burial pit of the army, it is full of all kinds of corpses, and among the bones everywhere, a female corpse in a gray woolen coat leans on the edge of the burial pit, which is particularly conspicuous.
The woman's hair was so long that it had reached her ankles, and the loose hair blocked her face, making it impossible to see her face.
It is impossible to find out who has entered this tomb in ancient times, but in modern times, only the people from the Criminal Division have come in, and only Zhou Rong and his wife have stayed inside, and this woman is undoubtedly Zhou Xiaoan's mother.
We all came to the results at the first time, and as we stepped forward, Liu Cheng instructed us, "Don't touch the bones in the grave pit, there are some things left for the Criminal Division to play a greater value." β
These bones are rare birds and beasts in the Shang Dynasty, and most of them are now invisible, and only by handing them over to the Criminal Division can they better study these bones, which can not only explore the mysteries of the year, but also leave something for future generations.
We responded, and then avoided the bones and walked to the female corpse, and before we got too close, we only felt a cold aura attacking, Liu Cheng stopped moving, and Huang Yunqiu and I stopped moving forward.
Looking at the corpse up and down, the nails of the corpse's hands and feet were very long, not to mention more than ten centimeters, and the hair hung straight down to the ground, Liu Cheng went to remove the hair that covered the face of the female corpse, and saw a string of copper clothes woven with copper coins covering the mouth and nose of the female corpse, like a mask.
Looking at the foot of the female corpse again, stepping on a piece of pitch-black wood, I looked at it a few times and said, "This should be Zhou Xiao'an's mother, but how did it become like this?" β
Liu Cheng loosened the hair of the female corpse, and the hair covered her face again, Liu Cheng said, "She has been trapped in the tomb for more than ten years, there is nothing to eat and drink in the tomb, and she has been starving to death for more than ten years, if she wants to survive until the day when others come to save her, there is only one way, that is, to refine her body into a zombie and survive in the tomb in a state of divine soul, so that she can save her body, and once she is rescued in the future, as long as she removes the corpse qi on her body, and then finds Yin Si to add a few years of yang longevity, can continue to survive as a normal person. β
Huang Yunqiu and I nodded, and Huang Yunqiu asked again, "Is it possible that someone else refined her body into a zombie?" After all, Zhou Rong's body is also in the tomb, if she wants to raise the corpse, she should even raise Zhou Rong's corpse, but now she can't see Zhou Rong's corpse. β
Liu Cheng looked at it a few more times, and suddenly frowned and said, "The place where she is standing is called 'Broken Face Wenqu', and this kind of place is regarded as a congenital corpse breeding place in "The Secret of Distinguishing the Dragon", as long as the corpse is buried in this kind of place, it will not rot, and hair and nails will continue to grow. It seems that she is not good at raising corpses, and she only needs to break the surface of Wenqu for a condition that is enough to support it for decades, but she also added a piece of 'fragrant fir wood' to her feet, fragrant fir wood is one of the heaviest yin wood in the world, which can greatly enhance the corpse qi. And on her face, there is a copper coin mask, which is originally intended to suppress her own corpse, so as not to produce a corpse from a zombie to a walking corpse, but the corpse gas here is too heavy, and the copper coin mask cannot completely suppress the corpse qi, but will stimulate the corpse qi to transform into resentment, that is to say, the walking corpse is very likely to become a resentful corpse, see the area of the fragrant fir wood under her feet, she only stood half, and the remaining half should have stood before other people......"
Liu Cheng had already said it so clearly, and we all knew it, so we hurriedly looked around, and said, "The other half was Zhou Rong who was standing before, and now he has turned into a resentful corpse and left." β
Liu Cheng nodded, "Resentful corpses are different from walking corpses, walking corpses hurt people only for bloodlust, and resentful corpses hurt people for both bloodlust and revenge, so we have to be extremely careful, maybe he has already noticed us coming in." β
Huang Yunqiu and I immediately took out a few corpse talismans and pinched them in our hands, and then looked around, fortunately, this rare bird and beast pit is not complicated, we can see the whole picture clearly at a glance, and there is no place to hide.
And there is nothing we want in the pit of rare birds and beasts, so we quickly looked for the passage to the palace of Di Xin, which is not difficult to find, we only walked less than half a circle in this pit of rare birds and beasts to find another stone door.
When they arrived at the stone gate, there was a wave of heat coming from the stone gate, and they reached out to touch it, only to feel hot, so they quickly retracted their hands, and then said to Liu Cheng, "The door is hot, is there anyone behind the door who set it on fire?" Or is Suzaku just behind this door? β
Suzaku has always appeared with flames, if there is really a Vermilion Bird behind this gate, it is understandable to burn the stone gate like this, Liu Cheng thought for a while and said, "This should be directly below the Yellow River, do you remember the flames burning on the Yellow River?" β
I nodded, I had seen with my own eyes the crimson flames beneath the dried riverbed of the Yellow River, and said, "Isn't that the flame from the Suzaku burning?" β
Liu Cheng didn't say whether it was or not, but said, "The section of the Yellow River burning flames we saw above before should be the distance behind the stone gate, from above, the range of burning flames is about 100 meters long and about 70 or 80 meters wide, that is to say, there is also such a large range of flames behind this stone gate, whether it is a red bird or not, it is not easy to pass." β
There is no one in this world who is not afraid of fire and water, even if Liu Cheng said that he is invincible, it is just bragging in front of Liu Xuan, even if it is steel and iron bones, it will melt away if it is burned in the fire for a while, not to mention that he is just flesh and blood.
Even Liu Cheng was not stumped, he didn't dare to open the stone door rashly, and he hesitated for a long time before he could think of a good way.
I said in my heart that I've come here, can't I go home?
Liu Cheng thought for a while before saying, "It shouldn't be Suzaku, there was a similar situation in the Mawangdui Ancient Tomb, this is called the 'Xuanhuo Cave', which pours combustible things into the passage leading to the main tomb, but whenever it encounters the slightest spark, it will burn." It should be that after the Yellow River was cut off, the people of the Criminal Division accidentally fell into the spark when they were exploring the bottom of the Yellow River, igniting the things in this passage, so the so-called 'Vermilion Bird Burning the Plain' phenomenon appeared. β
Huang Yunqiu said, "If the sparks on the riverbed of the Yellow River can ignite the things in this channel, it means that there are ventilation holes between the riverbed and the channel, then when the Yellow River is not cut off, won't water be poured in through the ventilation holes?" β
Huang Yunqiu's question was mentioned to the point, I looked at Liu Cheng silently, waiting for his answer, Liu Cheng said, "Enshi Sancha River leads to the ancient tomb below Qinglong Weir There is also a passage, when there is water in Qinglong Weir, Sancha River automatically closes, and when Qinglong Weir is out of water, Sancha River opens, which is a kind of called' Before the Yellow River had water, the weight was very large, the chain flap would be pressed to close, and the river water could not be poured in, and the Yellow River was broken and the chain flap was opened, and the ventilation hole would be exposed, and if there was no ventilation hole, it would not burn. β
Hearing what Liu Cheng said, Huang Yunqiu and I looked at him in a daze, and finally asked, "Have you ever robbed a tomb before?" β
"Luban book!" Liu Cheng sighed speechlessly, "You go out to read more books in the future, these organs have already been recorded in the Luban book." β
Huang Yunqiu and I smiled awkwardly, and Liu Cheng then left here and said, "This stone door can't be opened, the flame has been burning for several days, which means that it is not a simple gaseous fuel, but a liquid or solid, once it is opened, it will be poured into this pit of rare birds and beasts, and you will not be able to escape death at that time." β
"How do you get there?" Huang Yunqiu asked.
Liu Cheng said, "Two ways, when the Yellow River resumes its flow, the chain flap mechanism is closed, and the flames inside will naturally be extinguished; The second way, Zhou Rong's body is no longer in this grave, and his body has not been seen in the burial pit outside, which means that he has other passages to leave and find other organs! β
We nodded, and then searched around the pit of rare animals and animals, but we searched all over the grave, but there was no other passage to walk on.
In desperation, Liu Cheng said to us, "Find the bones of the orangutan in the grave, as long as you find the bones of the orangutan, you can find the passage." β
Huang Yunqiu and I looked at each other, "Is there a relationship between the two?" β
Liu Cheng smiled at us, "There is a record of Shang Dynasty cuisine in the "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Festival: The Original Flavor", 'The beauty of meat, the lips of orangutans, and the burning of badgers', which shows that in the Shang Dynasty, orangutans were regarded as a kind of food, and this rare bird and beast pit was the 'food palace' prepared for Emperor Xin, so naturally such food would not be spared, so there were definitely orangutans in it back then." Orangutans are the closest to humans, and their brains are so developed that they must be able to remember the path left by those who imprisoned them, and if they want to escape, they will keep getting closer to the passage and die at the mouth of the passage. So if we want to find another way, we just need to find the bones of the orangutan. β
