All Chapters_Chapter 67: Ruochu
Chirping!
The white coffin opened, and an invisible wave came out of the coffin, and I could see that the space above the white coffin was slightly distorted, as if something had escaped from the coffin.
I craned my head out and looked into the white coffin, anyway, these were just recreating the illusion of the past, and I didn't have to worry about any accidents, so my movements were not as careful as I had at the beginning.
Call!
I took a long breath, and sure enough, the contents of this coffin were the woman with whom I had always had an inexplicable connection, lying quietly in the white coffin, her eyes closed, her face serene, only a little crystal water droplets slipped down in her closed eyes, as if she had suffered unparalleled sorrow in a dream.
There was another chattering sound, and the two men who opened the white coffin turned back to say something to the middle-aged man and woman, and their expressions were a little excited, as if something had happened to the woman in the coffin that surprised them.
I saw the woman in the golden phoenix robe pounce at once, she was lying on the edge of the white coffin, a pair of eyes staring at the woman in the coffin, her face full of incredulity.
The muscles on her face trembled with excitement, her red lips squirmed, and it took a long time for two words to slowly burst out of her mouth: "Ruochu." ”
I couldn't help but wonder, was she calling the name of the woman in the coffin? I didn't understand what she said, but the two words that came out of her mouth were some like tones and some like "Ruochu" in Chinese.
Is the woman in this coffin named Ruochu?
The middle-aged man behind him also walked up, he glanced at the woman in the coffin lightly, although the expression on his face did not change, I saw a trace of joy in his slender eyes.
The middle-aged man bowed his head and said a few words to the woman in the phoenix bird robe, the woman hesitated, her face showed a look of struggle, but when she saw Ruochu lying quietly in the coffin, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and then she turned around and walked down the altar towards the deeper part of the main hall, and with the help of the surrounding firelight, I saw that behind the altar, a little farther away, it seemed that this small shrine was placed.
The woman walked to the shrine, knelt respectfully on the ground in some strange gestures, and chanted some esoteric scriptures, and after a while, she stretched out her hands, took something from the shrine with a face full of reverence, and walked in the direction of the altar.
When she went to the altar, I saw that she was holding a strange bronze mask in her hand, but when I saw this mask, my eyes suddenly widened, and my eyeballs were about to burst out, although I have seen many bronze masks of this style, but I still recognize this one in this woman's hand at a glance.
This strange bronze mask is the one that my grandfather took out in the white coffin, and the square hole on the forehead of the mask is inlaid with a beautiful phoenix bird pattern, which is not found on other masks I have seen, and I still remember that my grandfather was holding this mask at that time, and once told me that this mask was a treasure handed down to me by my Chen family ancestor.
Holding the mask in her hand, the woman walked to the white coffin, knelt respectfully on the ground, raised her hands high, and raised the bronze mask in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man made a strange salute to the mask, and then took the mask from the woman's hand with a respectful face, but I stood aside and saw that although the man's face was trying to make a pious and respectful body, his eyes were full of deep disdain.
The middle-aged man walked to the white coffin, raised the bronze mask in his hand, he looked at the countless people standing quietly under the altar, and said something loudly from his mouth, the voice was passionate, as if it had a special magic, even if I couldn't understand what he said, but just standing aside, I felt the blood in my whole body began to boil.
The two men standing next to him knelt down in front of the middle-aged man at the same time, looking respectful. And the countless Shu people dressed in gorgeous clothes under the altar also knelt down at the same time at this moment, with a "brush" sound, they knelt on the ground, worshipping towards the tall altar, they made strange gestures with their hands clasped together on their chests, and chanted neat and uniform words in their mouths, like a group of pious cultivators seeing a supreme god.
The middle-aged man looked excited, and his mouth was full of words, impassioned, and his voice continued to echo throughout the hall. I stood aside in a daze, looking at what was happening in front of me, and felt that my heart was too shocked, the man in front of me was like a high emperor at this moment, and the majesty and nobility of his body almost made me bow down in front of him.
After a long time, the middle-aged man put down the mask held high in his hand, he walked to the coffin, quietly looked at the woman lying in the coffin, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and said softly in his mouth: "Ruochu." ”
Then, the man slowly put the bronze mask in his hand towards Ruochu's face, the mask was put on the woman's face, covering her beautiful face, and what appeared in front of people was a bronze mask with a strange face, a square face and big ears, which looked very strange.
A sullen breath rose inexplicably in my mouth, this scene in front of me seemed familiar, when I was in the white coffin in the Tsing Yi Qiang Castle, Chen Shengzhi saw this situation when he opened the white coffin, a woman with a strange bronze mask on her face was lying quietly in a white coffin, just thinking about it made people feel cold down their spines.
It's just that since this woman named Ruochu appeared on the altar of the ancient Shu people, how could she end up in the Tsing Yi Qiang Castle far away in Yazhou?
Qingcheng Mountain and Tsing Yi Village are hundreds of kilometers apart, in ancient times when there were no cars and roads, it was also a long distance, coupled with the dense forests and many wild beasts in the ancient Xichuan area, it was difficult for ordinary people to cross at all, how did this white coffin run into the hands of that Tsing Yi Qiang?
Gu Shu and Gu Qiang, the two oldest civilizations gradually began to intersect in my heart, perhaps, there is still an unknown connection between these two ancient civilizations. I have a faint realization in my heart, maybe as long as I can find the connection between the ancient Shu people and the ancient Qiang people, all the questions will be cleared in front of me, revealing the true face below.
Bang!
The white coffin was closed again, and the lid of the coffin, covered with fine scales, blocked my view and the intersection between me and the woman named Wakachu.
I walked up to the coffin and looked at this white coffin in front of me, which I had seen three times, and I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, and there was a feeling from the bottom of my heart telling me, let me open it! Open this white coffin!
But the reason in my heart told me that these are all illusions in front of me, all of them are illusions that appeared in front of me because of the imprint of the phoenix bird, this is just a reproduction of the scene of a sacrifice in the ancient Shu Kingdom, and the white coffin in front of me is only something that existed countless years ago, and I can't touch it at all, maybe like those Shu people, my hand passed through their bodies.
My hand got closer and closer to the white coffin, and finally, my hand was on the white coffin, and there was a smooth and flexible touch in my hand, and the fine scale armor was covered by my palm.
This is real, the white coffin in front of him is not an illusion, but a real existence.
I felt a cool breath rush from the white coffin where I touched the palm of my hand to my body, and I suddenly felt creepy, and cold beads of sweat dripped down my forehead and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
I looked up, I felt a blur in front of me, and my two eyeballs were swollen to the extreme, as if they were about to burst, and I screamed and fell to the ground in an instant. I covered my eyes and rubbed them desperately, trying to relieve the pain as best I could.
After a long time, the swelling pain in my eyes gradually subsided, and I turned my head to look around, and found that the whole hall was suddenly much darker, and the lights that had been burning all around me had been extinguished, and the bronze lamps were covered with a thick layer of dust. The eerie glow of the gem crystals on the walls illuminates the surroundings a little eeriely.
Directly in front of me, a white coffin lay quietly, and on both sides of the white coffin, there were several ghosts and monsters, their eyes were blazing, looking at me deadly......
