Chapter Eighty-Eight: Insect Clothing

"What a sin." The second old lady sighed heavily, glanced at us, and said, "You should be from the sect?" ”

My heart moved, and I said, "Your granddaughter is too." ”

The second old lady sighed and said, "I didn't expect Mu'er to actually join the Qingwei faction. After a pause, he said, "Actually, our Su family, our ancestors, are also from the sect. It's just that this reputation is not very good, so I have been incognito. ”

"Is it a mountain mover?" I stared at the change in his expression.

Seeing that he was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he was stunned: "How do you know? ”

"What nonsense, who doesn't know your! Hurry up and say it! Sao Bao interrupted impatiently.

The second old lady glanced at us and said, "Since you already know, I have nothing to hide." Our Su family is indeed the descendants of the mountain movers. Presumably you also know that our ancestors stole all over the world, and the trees were very popular, and finally ...... Hey, we are the only ones left, changing our names and surnames, and living in seclusion. ”

I pondered for a while, and then I heard him suddenly say, "You should have heard about the theft of the Qin Tomb?" ”

"Yes." This incident caused a sensation all over the world at the beginning, but many people in the art sect have heard of it.

The second old lady sighed and said, "The world thinks that I moved a mountain to steal all the world's treasures in order to plot the gold and silver in the tomb, but in fact, it is not. Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "My ancestors wanted to ask for the art of immortality. ”

Gu Sihan said: "The theory of immortality is illusory, it is just a rumor. ”

Seeing the second old lady's expression, he said, "No, the ancestors in my sect have indeed seen immortal people. Because of this, the ancestors took great pains to steal all the treasures of the world to find this secret art. ”

Gu Sihan frowned, but didn't say anything.

I knew that there was indeed an immortality technique in this world, and when I saw that this old man was so sure, I thought to myself that the person their ancestors had seen was afraid that it was some Yin Patrolman.

"Back then, in the Qin Tomb, our ancestors stole a treasure......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Sao Bao's face, "Isn't it the Yin and Yang Bracelet, in this person's hand, hurry up and say something else." ”

The second old lady looked at me in horror, looking up and down, and his face was cloudy. The black and silver bracelet is now on my hand, but it is in the sleeve of my coat, and he can't see it.

After a while, I heard him let out a breath and said: "In fact, in addition to the Yin and Yang bracelets, the ancestors in my sect also stole a thing, which was an insect coat stripped from Emperor Qin's body. ”

"What's that?" This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Gu Sihan also shook his head.

The second old lady said: "You haven't heard of insect clothes, I don't know if you have heard of golden jade clothes." ”

Of course I know that. The so-called golden jade clothes only appeared in the Han Dynasty, and were called "jade boxes" in the folk, which were worn by the emperor and the princes after their deaths, and were made of gold thread and jade by secret methods, even if they were not buried in the Yin Pool, they also had the effect of keeping the bones intact.

It's just that this secret method has long been lost now.

The second old lady said: "The production method of this golden jade cloth was created by the ancestors of my family. ”

I was so surprised to hear that I was skeptical. I originally thought that the person who created this secret art of corpse burial should be an ancestor who was proficient in burial methods, how could it be a mountain movers from tomb robbers?

The second old lady sighed and said, "This golden jade robe is actually made by imitating the insect robe on Emperor Qin's body. When the ancestors of our sect stole into the Qin Mausoleum, the Qin Emperor had been buried for nearly a hundred years. But when the coffin was opened, the corpse of Emperor Qin was ruddy, flesh and blood were abundant, his chest was slightly undulating, and there was a sign of rejuvenation. ”

"Emperor Qin's quest for immortality is known to the world. After careful inspection, my ancestor thought that the funeral robe on Emperor Qin's body that looked like it was made of gold and jade was doing tricks, and immediately took it off Emperor Qin's body as if he had found a treasure. As soon as this funeral robe was shed, the corpse of Emperor Qin immediately cracked its flesh and skin, oozing a trace of blood, and jumped out of the coffin violently. ”

"The ancestors of our sect fought with it, and finally restrained it and pressed it back into the coffin, but it also touched the mechanism in the tomb, and finally escaped from the tomb after losing several people." Speaking of this, he glanced at me again, "The Yin and Yang bracelet is too mysterious, and the ancestors have always been unable to understand it thoroughly, so they can only turn to study the funeral clothes, and imitate several pieces with gold and jade, but in the end they found that the jade used on this funeral clothes is not real jade at all, but a kind of transparent insect corpse condensed, so the ancestors called it insect clothing." ”

"The ancestors in my sect thought about it, and they decided to go to the Gu Sect at that time to solve it. But the Gu Gate was haunted, and before I could find them, my door suffered a catastrophe, and the Yin and Yang Bracelet was also lost. ”

"What's going on?" I interjected.

The second old lady shook his head and said, "This is not something I can know. Our door was originally a side door, and we stole the world for the sake of immortality, which is really a big taboo, and it is only a matter of time before we are destroyed. ”

"Later, only one of us escaped with insect clothes, and since then we have changed our name and surname, and have lived in seclusion. But the search for immortality in my door has not ended, at first the dead people put on insect clothes and sealed them in coffins, but it was found that it was ineffective, although the corpses did not rot in the coffin, but there was no sign of returning yang. ”

Later, he tried a living person, put it in an insect suit, and buried it alive in a coffin. But when the coffin was lifted a few months later, the person in the coffin had died violently, blackened and hideous. ”

"Until more than 300 years ago, there was an ancestor in the family who put on the insect clothes himself and sealed them in a coffin after studying insect clothes for many years. And before entering the coffin, he instructed the tribesmen to open the coffin after three months. If, after three months, he is safe, then he will come back to open the coffin again three years later. ”

Three months passed, and the clansmen immediately opened the coffin on time, and found that the ancestor was wearing an insect suit, lying peacefully in the coffin, with a ruddy face and a heaving chest. At that time, everyone in the Su family was overjoyed, and the coffin was sealed again until it was opened again three years later. When the coffin was opened this time, the ancestor not only had a vivid face, but also his original white hair turned black partially, showing signs of rejuvenation. ”

The people of the Su family were naturally overjoyed and excited, and immediately sealed the coffin again, only waiting for nine years to open the coffin. But this time the coffin was opened, but there was a problem. As soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, the ancestor immediately jumped out of the coffin, and bit when he saw people, although he was finally restrained by the Su family and pressed back into the coffin, but everyone still had palpitations.

The next time the coffin was opened, thirty years later. The Su family went down to ten people, but seven died, and only three came up alive. At that time, the head of the Su family saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately made a decision, determined to destroy the body of the ancestor. But at that time, the Su family had already declined, and seven pillars died at once, so they were not sure to deal with it at all.

At that time, the head of the family thought about it, and in desperation, he could only decide to invite outsiders to help. Later, he invited two of his old friends, both of whom were wandering magicians, who had no sect and had a deep friendship with our Su family, and as soon as they heard about it, they gladly came to help. At that time, the head of the Su family also kept an eye on it, and did not tell the truth, only saying that there was an evil in the ancestral tomb of the Su family, and the body of the ancestor was corpsed.

"After the two seniors heard about it, they thought that this matter was quite strange, and in order to be more sure, they invited the Mandao people who were placing orders in the nearby Taoist temple at that time."

"Who are the Mandao people?" I interjected.

The second old lady said: "This Manchu Taoist is also a Taoist priest who travels to the party, and he has no sect or sect, but the Taoism is very powerful. ”

With the guidance of this Mandao person, several people followed the Su family and others down to the tomb. Before going down, the head of the family quietly left a will, instructing the children of the Su family that if they didn't come up again after they went down, let them not go in again and stay away from here.

"As a result, after these ancestors went down, they really never came up again." The second old lady sighed and said, "After that, the Su family obeyed the last order and took the villagers to temporarily move to another place for a while. After that, I waited for some time, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so I moved back. ”
