Chapter 365: Birth Figurine

The Seven Evils first sniffed it, he shook his head, because the smell was too shallow, he took a deep breath, and then sniffed carefully, this time, he finally smelled some smell, his face changed: "It's Wang Lian, it's the juice of Wang Lian's flower, really, I let myself fall into my imagination at the beginning, thinking that there would be plants underground, why didn't I think that the juice of the plants could be extracted and used!" “

"Luckily, my nose works. Lei Zi pointed to his nose and said proudly: "It seems that it is normal for that person to be tricked, the juice on this is colorless, the taste is light, ordinary people can't smell it at all, and it can kill people invisibly." “

"Yes, no wonder after that man went out, he thought he had escaped, but he couldn't escape death in vain." Xiao Ning took a breath: "What are we going to do now, that person died after touching Wang Lianhua and going out, which means that the cycle of seizures is very long, and the organ must be on it, but we can't touch it." “

Bai Yi was also embarrassed, although he had the protective Gu of Fu Yu in the middle and lower on his body, but at present, it was not certain which poisons had a protective effect, Gu poison was necessary, and other poisons had also played a role in the face of the blind snake before, Bai Yi was a little hesitant, he first took out his gloves and put them on, but the Seven Evils showed a complicated expression: "Are you sure you want to take risks?" The way some poisons infiltrate is very special, this kind of Wang Lotus juice we have never been exposed to before, you try it, there is no way to know what the consequences will be.

After the Seven Evils said this, Bai Yi also hesitated, but he immediately had a way, and found a stone in the tomb and held it in his hand: "Even if Wang Lian juice can penetrate the fabric, I don't believe it, it can penetrate the stone, this physical structure is completely different." “

This trick is not bad, plus Bai Yi has a protective Gu on his body, this task of finding the mechanism can only be handed over to Bai Yi, Bai Yi took the stones and pressed them on the wall one by one, trying to find a place that could be pressed or moved, thinking of the scene in another tomb just now, Bai Yi was more inclined to press downward, in order to find the location of the mechanism that opened the door.

Sure enough, the person who designed this tomb is a person after all, people always have their own specific habits, the key points of the mechanism just now have continued to the present, which makes Bai Yi have the final harvest, when he pressed down with his palm, the stone hit the stone brick, and the door opened with a "boom" sound, Bai Yi stood at the front, and was also the first person to see the scene inside, and the twelve hour figurines inside appeared very eye-catching......

The 12 o'clock figurines are also the most important funeral figurines in the Tang Dynasty, the 12 o'clock, in fact, is the old name of the zodiac, the ancients divided the day into 12 hours, and the 12 gods were formed in the Han Dynasty. In order to facilitate the use, twelve animals were selected to match it, such as the rat, the ugly cow, the tiger, etc., and believed that each animal was the protector of the corresponding hour.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the images of the twelve gods with the function of warding off evil spirits appeared on various utensils. The tombs of the Song Dynasty retain a large number of images of the twelve gods, they are either depicted in epitaphs, coffins, coffin beds, or sculptures with pottery, iron, stone and other materials, and their shapes are generally three: animal type, animal head body type, human body type, the so-called human figure is that the animal is held in the hands of the person or on the head.

The 12th birthday figurines that Bai Yi saw were exactly the figure shapes, 12 children, each holding in their hands, or standing on their shoulders, or with 12 birthdays on their heads, these 12 birthday figurines are in their respective directions, each of the twelve sides occupies one side, the color of the figurines has faded, but it can be seen that the colors are bright, and the shape is also very realistic.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the figurines of the heavenly kings and the tomb beasts that were originally commonly used to accompany the burial became more and more simplified, and they were not used at all in some tombs, only the twelve-hour figurines continued, becoming the most common figurines in the late Tang Dynasty.

In addition to these figurines, there was a half-kneeling corpse on the ground, his head hung down, he was facing the figurine of the horse, as if he was repenting of the figurine, the clothes he was wearing were roughly the same as the people in the tomb just now, it seemed that they all came in together, Bai Yi went in after some testing as usual, and came to the side of the dead corpse, but he didn't dare to get too close, he even waved his hand to prevent others from approaching the corpse: "The figurine of the horse alone, this is too obvious, right?" “

Bai Yi bent down to look at the front of the dead body, there was a small arrow in his chest, which pierced it deeply, and the horse warrior was also the only figurine separated from the person in the twelve birthdays, people and horses stood side by side, without any intersection, unlike other figurines, people and animal figurines are connected, Bai Yi saw that the height of the dead body was one meter six or five, and Xiao Ning was about the same, so he called Xiao Ning over, compared the position of the small arrow, and pointed in the direction, roughly knew where the small arrow came from, it was the mouth of the horse!

As for how to open the mechanism in the horse's mouth, Bai Yi subconsciously looked at the green bricks under his feet, and at this moment, Xiaoshan said, "Why is there no coffin?" “

Bai Yi only then discovered that the most wrong place, the twelve birth figurines each occupy one side, each standing around the tomb, except for these figurines, there is nothing else, so where is the Jiang state of mind that the person said? Why is there no coffin here?

Tang Sancheng said: "These twelve birthdays are placed according to the twenty-four trunk branches, and the positions are all exquisite, which shows that the person who placed these twelve birthday figurines is a person who knows how to count, in fact, compared to what we encountered before, except for the juice of Wang Lianhua, the others are nothing, they are considered primary." “

"yes." Lei Zi said: "To build such a tomb, there is no coffin, and there are only these twelve birthday figurines for the burial, which is too shabby, damn, let Lao Tzu look forward to it in vain." “

"How come, there is still Jiang Xinjing, that person found Jiang Xinjing, but he didn't take it out, there must be a reason for this." Xiao Ning said: "Giving up so quickly doesn't look like your Lei Zi's style." “

"I love to hear that." Lei Zi grinned: "How good it is to praise me like this." “

Xiao Ning twisted his body and gave Lei Zi a white eye: "I'm not praising you." “

"Xiao Ning has a point, how can anyone who finds a Ming weapon and doesn't want to take it away? Unless he can't afford to take it, he has to give up. Bai Yi said: "Jiang Xinjing must be here, we have to find it out." “

Tang Sancheng suddenly took his foot and stomped on the bluestone bricks under his feet, this action made Lei Zi's face white, and he hurriedly held him down: "My ancestor, you don't know that the bricks here may be organs, don't step on them, I think we will bury these twelve birthday figurines!" “

"It's not." Tang Sancheng was really speechless: "I'm just wondering, will the Jiang Xin Mirror not be under the nose, but in a hidden place, if this is the case, there should be a mystery under the bluestone bricks, there must be space to store the Jiang Xin Mirror, there must be a hole in the ground, and the sound of stepping on it must be different." “

The reason is such a truth, but Tang Sancheng's actions are still too dangerous, after all, every bluestone brick has the potential to activate the mechanism, even Xiao Ning, who also blames Tang Sancheng's reckless actions, but Xiaoshan said: "Brother has a point. “

It's still a reliable mountain, Tang Sancheng was about to burst into tears, Tang Sancheng said to himself: "Actually, these twelve birthday figurines should have been guarding the owner of this tomb, but unfortunately there is no master ......" He said while looking at the twelve birthday figurines, his mind seemed to have a lightning bolt, his hand raised, and stopped in mid-air, as if he had found something, but he couldn't organize it in words, everyone looked at him like this, they didn't dare to say anything, just stared at his hand, It seems that as soon as Tang Sancheng's hand is put down, the result will come out.
