Chapter Fifty-Six: The Wooden Pier
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, obviously the fat man also thought of this level, and a layer of sweat oil rose on the fat face, and the two of us maintained a side-by-side posture, staring at the wide open red lacquer coffin.
In fact, a lot of the paint on this coffin has fallen off, but the color of the paint is not known to have something added, and some of the remaining ones are attached to the coffin, just like a drop of blood, which looks shocking.
The inside of the coffin was empty, and at the bottom of the coffin, there was something shaped like a wooden pier, which seemed to be the place where the corpse was used to put its feet.
The two of us stared nervously for a moment, and there was silence all around, but at that moment, the thumping sound sounded again, and this time it could be heard very clearly, from under the 'wooden pier' in the coffin.
There's something down there!
I looked at the fat man, and then I lifted my chin and motioned to come and check. This scene is a bit like a police movie, but I think this is definitely more exciting than a police movie, because underneath it, it is likely to be a zongzi.
When the fat man and I cautiously moved to the large coffin with red lacquer, I realized that it was not a wooden pier at all, but a strange bronze object.
I was shocked.
Bronze? This is not something that the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties will have, and it has to be traced back to the Warring States Period.
The fat man was obviously also surprised, looked at it for a long time, smashed his mouth and said, "Innocent comrade, the fat man has seen a lot of spiritual weapons, but what kind of thing is this?" Is it a stool? "I don't know how many years this bronze has been in this coffin, it has been covered with copper flowers, and even faintly blackened, showing a boxy funnel shape, small at the top and large at the bottom.
The sound came from the scale.
I motioned for the fat man to be on guard, and then crouched down and studied it carefully.
I thought it would be something similar to a bronze coffin, and that there might be some kind of peculiar zongzi locked in it, but I soon discovered that this bronze was a solid body with no seams, that is, it was also solid inside, and not a box as I had imagined.
What is such a bronze object used for at the bottom of the coffin?
Where did the body in this coffin go? Is there any, or is it inherently empty?
I sniffed the coffin, and all I could smell was a damp and rotting smell of wood, but it didn't smell like a corpse. Those who have opened the coffin know that even if the body in the coffin has decomposed into white bones, once the coffin is opened, the smell of decay will still last for a long time.
That is, this coffin, from the moment it was placed here, there was no body in it.
I had a strange feeling in my heart, I always felt that I had missed some important clues, but I couldn't remember it for a while, I subconsciously looked at my companions around me, but found that the fat man was staring at the edge of the coffin, and his face was indescribably strange.
It is not easy to make the fat man show such a look, I quickly got up and followed his gaze, and at first glance, I couldn't help but be stunned.
What the fat man saw was the carved ornament on the coffin, which was originally difficult to see the original appearance due to mildew and paint stripping, but this ornament, because it was relatively deep when carved, left some traces vaguely, and it was carved with a strange tree, which did not have leaves, but had a lot of bells.
Hexagonal bells!
The fat man's attention was all on the bell, and after a while, he sighed: "Together...... This place is also an ancestral tomb of the little brother's family. "The hexagonal bell is a mechanism technique unique to the Zhang family, and its sound can make people hallucinate, but my attention is no longer on the bells, but on the tree.
Because I found that it was very similar to the bronze tree I saw in the Qinling Mountains.
I just felt a buzz in my head, and then I couldn't hear anything until the fat man twisted my hands my face, and I came back to my senses.
He said, "Look stupid? ”
I shook my head, not knowing how to express my feelings, only one sentence kept flashing in my mind: Could that kind of bronze tree with strange power have anything to do with the Zhang family?
In just a moment, I thought of a record I had seen in the Bronze Tree, where a dragon box was said to contain something that caused the emperor to carry out a massive campaign of erasure and slaughter everyone who knew what the dragon box really meant.
And it just so happened that the stuffy oil bottle once said that it was just such a thing that was placed in the bronze door.
In order to protect this dragon-patterned secret box, Wang Zanghai even set fire to the secret of the bronze door, leaving a hint about the boundless karmic fire burning the world.
Soon, these bits of information gradually connected into a straight line in my mind, and the last shocking speculation came to my mind...... Could it be that this is the so-called ultimate?
No.
Soon, I denied this conjecture, because the dragon pattern secret box, the person who got it, has not opened it so far, it is impossible for more information to leak out, and the only possibility can only prove that this bucket has a deep relationship with the Zhang family.
I looked at the bronze tree full of hexagonal bells, and was stunned for a while, but soon I found a trace of something unusual, I don't know because of the reason of **, or the reason for the carving process, the bronze tree carved here, although the trend is very similar to the bronze tree of Qinling, but the bronze tree carved on it gives people a very strange feeling.
If the bronze tree in the Qinling Mountains is like a tall and handsome aspen, then the carving on it is like a hideous old tree, looking like a demon trying to break free from the coffin.
Almost immediately, I realized that the bronze tree carved on it was not the same as the bronze tree in Qinling.
They are very similar, but the subtleties are very different, if the bronze tree in the Qinling Mountains makes people feel spectacular and weird, then the bronze tree expressed on it makes people feel very evil, like a demon.
This is clearly not the same one.
So where is the tree? Is it real, or is it the finished product after artistic processing according to the bronze tree of the Qinling Mountains?
If it really exists...... So what kind of power does it have?
All this, what does it have to do with the Zhang family and the stuffy oil bottle?
Go! Fuck the Zhang family!
I shook my head and shook the stuff out of my head. The Zhang family has nothing to do with me, and the ultimate has nothing to do with me, Wu Xie, don't fucking blame yourself, you've ...... I can't afford to pay the price.
I kept hypnotizing myself in my heart, telling myself over and over again that the purpose of this trip was to save my second uncle, and everything else could be put down, and everything else could be put down......
After a moment, I felt myself calm down, patted my cheek, and said to the fat man, "There's something down here, do you want to move it away?" ”
This bronze pier is not hollow, that is, the sound is coming from below, and under this bronze pier, there are probably other passages, but they just happened to be blocked by it. This is obviously not a coincidence, this bronze pier must have been placed here on purpose.
The fat man rubbed his hands and showed great interest, but then he shook his head and said, "No, it's important for us to do business, this is to release a zongzi, isn't it to add to yourself?" ”
As soon as I thought about it, and the sound under the bronze pier also stopped, I suppressed my curiosity and said to the fat man: "Little brother can't ignore it, I didn't expect him to trust me so much, that fake is making a hindrance from it, I'm afraid of being bored...... Little brother, he suffers. ”
The fat man waved his hand and said, "Come on, the stuffy oil bottle is the stuffy oil bottle, you don't know when you are a little brother?" What kind of nickname is this, you don't have a majestic point, such as the Qilin God of War or something. "I'm a little big-headed, and my heart says now is the time to talk about nicknames?
The fat man saw that I was going to be mad, so he said: "Little brother is our brother, since you also agree to keep up with the big army, then there is nothing to say, you have an idea, what to do now." ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "It's unlikely that it's an organ, let's start with zongzi, hasn't he mentioned it to you before, what should I do if I encounter a ghost covering my eyes?" "Seriously, I really wouldn't want to talk about 'him' again if I could.
The fat man was silent for a while, and then he said, "Mirror." Preferably an ancient mirror. "I immediately remembered the experience of Xiuxiu in the Kunlun Mountains, and said in my heart how to forget this stubble, the ancient mirror looks at the ghost, can break the illusion, and use the mirror to look at it, those blocked entrances, isn't it the current situation?
But...... At this juncture, where can I find the ancient mirror?
