My heart rose to my throat, and my hands holding the sword were full of sweat, as long as there was any change in the corpse of this turtle spirit, I would be desperate to cut it down.

But then a scene that surprised everyone happened, the glutinous rice was sprinkled on the turtle spirit's body, and the originally well-preserved corpse collapsed in an instant, from the center of the glutinous rice touch, one after another cracks spread rapidly, and finally suddenly exploded, turning into a handful of powder scattered on the gorgeous satin.

A corpse that had just come to life became a pile of dust in the blink of an eye!

I took a step back in horror. I'm a little prepared to say that this corpse suddenly opens its eyes and turns into a zombie, but what kind of trouble is this sudden turning into dust?

This scene seemed similar, and I suddenly remembered Ruochu, who had dissipated in the white coffin six years ago, and how similar that scene was to everything I saw now!

Compared with my frightened mood, Cai Zhongyong on the side seemed much calmer. He frowned, "These corpses are extremely well preserved in sealed coffins, but they are also unable to withstand the erosion of time, and once the coffin is opened, it will produce an oxidation reaction when it comes into contact with the air. It's just that no matter how much oxidation is made, it is impossible to turn the bones inside into powder, which is a bit unscientific! ”

"Second uncle, look at the footprints on the ground, my father also came here at that time, I just want to know what he encountered here at that time to become that kind of monster. If there was a zombie lying in this coffin, that would explain it. But the body is gone now...... Oops, what the hell is going on here! Cai Yawen almost went crazy, thinking that she would be able to find the truth that Cai Zhongyong had become like that by opening the coffin, but the facts in front of her not only did not give a reasonable explanation, but they were even more foggy.

"Turtle Spirit!"

I whispered his name, gritted my teeth, and reached into the white coffin to grasp the golden piece of silk.

After shaking off the powder from the corpse above, the gorgeous and stunning pattern underneath was revealed.

"Ah, this silk is so beautiful!"

Everyone was amazed, and the piece of silk in my hand was still shining even after thousands of years, and the gorgeous and noble gold was dazzling. The ancient Shu country to the silkworm mulberry state, the name of Shu brocade, well-known in the sea, now a look, is indeed worthy of the name.

This piece of silk is extremely informative, and it seems to be divided into three parts, which should symbolize the three worlds of heaven, earth and man. The part that symbolizes the human world in the middle is painted with several majestic mountains, and there is a surging river under the mountain, which should be the Min River. In one of them there is a magnificent and towering altar, on which stands a tall middle-aged man, under the altar is painted many creatures who kneel to him, in addition to a large number of ancient Shu people, there are even dragons, giant apes and other wild beasts, all of them are a look of worship.

The upper part of the shrine is painted with the pattern of the sun, moon and stars, and even faintly reveals the appearance of a palace between the clouds, which should be the place where the gods lived in the fantasy of the ancients. But what made me daze was that in the highest place in the entire sky, there was a nine-headed divine bird with wings spread, and its whole body was shining, looking down on all the spirits in the world.

"Nine-headed bird in the sky, Hubei Yankee on the ground. Legend has it that the turtle spirit is a native of Chu, and the totem of Chu is the Nine Phoenix Divine Bird. Cai Zhongtang looked at the pattern on it and muttered to himself.

I kept it in my mind, and my gaze moved down to the very bottom of the scroll, where there was a symbol of the underworld. When I saw what was inside, my pupils suddenly shrank, and my hand holding the satin trembled a little.

On it is actually painted a magnificent city, in the middle of which is a sacred and solemn palace, and under the palace are rows of identical stone houses, so that is exactly where we are! Outside each stone house, there was a creature that roared to the sky, and they looked terrifying, looking like people rather than people. And in front of the palace in the middle was a coffin and four figures. The appearance of the coffin is the same as the white coffin in front of him, next to him stands an old man with a rickety back, in the middle is a middle-aged person, and when you look at it, there is a young man and a child.

What does this picture mean?

My eyes narrowed slightly, and the pattern in the middle was roughly depicting the grand image of the turtle spirit ruling the ancient Shu Kingdom, and the above was estimated to express his respect for the Nine Phoenix Divine Bird. And the following should be a symbol of his majesty to rule the underworld after his death. But what does the coffin and a few figures in the middle of the palace mean? It seems that although the age group is different, they should all be one person.

"Second Uncle Cai, can you see what this picture means?" I stretched out my finger and asked Cai Zhongtang, I always felt that this group was a little unreasonable.

Cai Zhongtang glanced at the pattern carefully, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This thing is a bit like the silk painting unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha a few years ago. In the Han Dynasty, this kind of thing is generally called non-clothing, it is a kind of banner used when the deceased goes out of the funeral, and when it comes to the burial, it is covered on the coffin as a burial object, and it is generally painted with some deeds of the deceased before his death and the pattern of various exotic beasts and rare birds, which has the effect of attracting the soul to ascend to heaven or summoning the soul to rejuvenate. ”

"It's just that this Cong Emperor turtle spirit should be thousands of years old from the Han Dynasty, and I don't know the specific funeral customs, so I can only guess that the pattern you are referring to should be the meaning of Emperor Cong's hope that he can be resurrected after death. You see that this coffin symbolizes death, and the old man next to the coffin should be the resurrected Emperor Cong, and the next middle-aged, young and young people should be the rejuvenation and ......immortality that the ancients hoped for."

As Cai Zhongtang continued to speak, a thought flashed in my mind, and the muscles in my whole body instantly tensed, my eyes were round, and my face was full of horror. Cai Yawen, who happened to be standing opposite me, saw my appearance and was a little puzzled, and the rest of the people also found the same on me at this time.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Longzhu asked, holding my hand, my hands were cold and sweaty.

"Cai Yawen, your dad ......"

I shuddered a few words. Although I hadn't finished yet, the other party immediately understood what I meant.

Cai Yawen's pretty face instantly turned pale, and she also remembered the abnormality on Cai Zhongyong's body at this moment.

"I'm dizzy, what are you two playing riddles? It's only half of the talk, isn't it an appetizer, Yawen tell me what you two have discovered! Liu Zelong couldn't help but ask loudly, and Wang Yifeng and Cai Zhongtang on the side obviously hadn't reacted yet, and they all looked at us with a questioning look.

I saw that Cai Yawen's mood was a little unstable, so I hurriedly said, "Second Uncle Cai, do you remember the situation in your eldest brother?" When I first came back, he was still in his sixties, but the last time I went to your house, I saw him in his forties, and Cai Yawen said that this was what his father looked like more than ten years ago! We searched for a long time and couldn't find the reason for the incident, but now that we think about it, I'm afraid it's here! ”

"Resurrection after death, rejuvenation of youth!"

I pointed to the painting on the silk and said word by word.

Cai Zhongtang's face changed greatly, and he said tremblingly: "You...... You mean to say that my eldest brother is in this state right now, just...... It's just that isn't this a kind of prayer of the ancient Shu people for the turtle spirit after death? ”

I closed my eyes, my thoughts racing, and the clues quickly connected in my mind.

Cong Emperor Turtle Spirit, when he first found out that he had shed his human skin and the words of the white-clothed corpse king, made me think that he was an extremely powerful zombie. Zombies molt and reshape their lives, according to the words of the white-clothed corpse king, the ultimate they pursue is to remove the dead skin and corpse qi from the outside of the body, and finally break out of the cocoon like a butterfly, become a real living person, and achieve the purpose of resurrection and rebirth!

And the turtle spirit is undoubtedly the firm implementer of this plan, but later, according to Xia Lei on Mengding Mountain, the reason why the Tsing Yi Qiang people were able to snatch Ruochu from the ancient Shu altar back then was because they learned from the inside that the turtle spirit had a physical problem. Then he took the opportunity to seize the sleeping Ruochu, which triggered the first expedition of the ancient Shu Kingdom to Tsing Yi Qiang, but the turtle spirit did not appear from the beginning to the tail, and soon after, the ancient Shu Kingdom changed kings. The figure of the turtle spirit has since disappeared in the long river of history.

It seems that at that time, he should have been buried here.

It's just that he's an immortal zombie......
