Reshaping the Flesh Chapter 189: Hundred Coffin Array

As soon as I saw that Gu Zheng's body was on fire, I immediately dodged to the side. Even though I am a ghost, I can feel the warmth of the fire, and it seems that I cannot touch the fire.

However, Jingyang Daoist directly took off his coat, which extinguished the fire of Gu Zhengshen. But his clothes were already in tatters, but he still wore them on his body to keep warm.

Gu Zheng's skin at this time was a little blackened by the fire, and there were several burns on his body, and his dark ~ black skin looked very red and swollen. In some burns, the skin was twisted together.

"Are you alright?" Daoist Jingyang came to Gu Zheng's side and asked in a low voice.

It seemed that this Jingyang Daoist still cared about him, and then he nodded and said, "No, it's okay." ”

The fire bats were indeed afraid of the light, and when they saw us dodging in, they lingered at the mouth of the cave for a while. They left in droves, presumably continuing to hang on the roof of the cave, and then rested.

We turned to look inside the cave, where we were standing at a relatively high place, and below was a depression of more than a meter. It is a square shape, and the area is very huge, because there are many coffins in it.

The coffins in the hollow were neatly arranged, even though some of the coffins were rotting. There are also coffins that have become a pile of rotten wood, but I still can't see that they are all neatly placed. It took some years for this to become such a scene.

From my point of view, the center of the depression is made of earth or stone with five layers. These five floors are very high, all of them are higher than the height under our feet, and there are even one person taller.

On the top floor, there is a sarcophagus. The sarcophagus is boxy, completely different from the wooden coffin, which is wide and tall at one end and narrow and short at the other.

On the lower floor, there should be eight coffins. But all of them are wooden coffins with a wide and tall end and a narrow and low end. There are sixteen wooden coffins on the third floor and thirty-two coffins on the fourth floor.

All the way to the fifth floor, it is densely packed with coffins. If all of them were combined, the number of these coffins would be as high as more than 100.

"Hundred coffins."

Daoist Jingyang was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he probably didn't expect that this cave would be such a landscape.

Not only him, but in fact, Gu Zheng and I were also stunned for a long time. Of the ten coffins I've seen before, this is probably the most I've ever seen in my life. Even ordinary coffin shops do not have such coffins, at most one or two coffins are placed, and at most five or six coffins are placed.

Wait for someone to come to the door and need it, or customize it or buy it ready-made. Most of the coffins in the coffin shop are sample displays.

But right now, more than 100 coffins came out at once. How can it not shock us? What's more, Daoist Jingyang also said a sentence of "Hundred Coffin Array", which made us even more surprised and incomprehensible.

"What is the Hundred Coffin Array?" I looked at Daoist Jingyang and asked.

"The so-called hundred coffins array is a formation that requires a full 99 coffins. The height is divided into five layers, the first layer is the emperor, the second layer is the princes and generals, the third layer is the nobles, the fourth layer is the common people, and the fifth layer is the slaves. ”

"In a sense, the real 100 coffins are not a full 100 coffins, but 99 coffins are enough. One more coffin can't become a hundred coffins. ”

"Why?" I asked.

Jingyang Dao sighed and explained to us: "Actually, there is a saying here, this statement is somewhat traditional, but according to the current situation, it should indeed be the case. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That is, in the old days, some old people would never say that they were 100 years old. If an old man is a full 100 years old this year, when others ask him about his advanced age. He will tell you if he is ninety-nine or one hundred and one, but he will not mention the number 100. ”

"Why is that?" Gu Zheng on the side asked.

"I don't know why, but that's what I used to say. It is estimated that this hundred coffin array may also be related to this statement! ”

"Cao Cao, you're all strangers, right?" Daoist Jingyang asked us.

Gu Zheng and I nodded at the same time, Cao Cao was a prime minister during the Three Kingdoms period. Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is out of Cao Cao. Of course, he was also a very great person, we all know that.

"After Cao Cao~ died, it seems that he used a hundred coffin arrays."

"Huh?" I'm a little confused, isn't it? A few years ago, it was revealed that Cao Cao's tomb had been excavated, but what was found was not the real Cao Cao's tomb. This is the saying of "Cao Cao's seventy-two doubtful graves", but whether there are so many of them, none of us knows.

Of course, there seems to be a joke circulating on this one. It is said that Cao Cao's tomb was discovered, and his bones were found in Cao Cao's tomb, but they were large and small. Later, it was concluded that the big bones were Cao Cao, and the small bones were Cao Cao's childhood (you can take it as a joke and see it).

As soon as this conclusion came out, it also brought laughter to many netizens.

"Cao Cao's seventy-two suspicious graves do exist, but these are all to hide people's eyes. Because in the Eastern Han Dynasty, tomb robbers had begun to rise rampantly, so Cao Cao built a total of 72 tombs in various places in order to protect himself. ”

In 08, an ancient tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty was discovered in Anyang. But by the time it was discovered, the tomb had already been stolen. Therefore, after the Henan archaeological team was approved, the ancient tomb was rescued and excavated.

After some research and certification, it was confirmed that this ancient tomb belonged to the real Cao Cao tomb. In fact, in the Wei State, even Cao Cao, who was known as Emperor Wu, was simply buried and did not have a large number of funeral goods.

This should make some people ask, since Cao Cao didn't have any funeral goods, why did he still make the legend of "Seventy-two Doubtful Graves"? I can't answer this question, maybe the old man thinks that his body is afraid of being dug up! Of course, this is just my guess.

"Among Cao Cao's seventy-two doubtful graves, there is an ancient tomb that is used in the hundred coffin array, and the one buried in that ancient tomb will be the real Cao Cao. But behold, it was empty. ”

"What is the purpose of this hundred coffin array?" I asked.

"The Hundred Coffins Array can protect the body from decay, and if the conditions can be met, it may be able to resurrect the body in the emperor's coffin. It's just that this must require ninety-nine coffins, even if it is one more coffin, it means that this is not a hundred coffins, and it will directly cause the corpses here to cheat. ”

I sighed, it seems that this is indeed a hundred coffins. But these hundred coffins did not protect any real remains, and they may only confuse the eyes of human beings with fake and real. Afraid that others will find the real coffin, right?

As we said earlier, the formation of this hundred coffin array is divided into five layers, and these five layers are also called by other names. That is the emperor's coffin on the first floor, the general coffin on the second floor, the nobleman's coffin on the third floor, the commoner coffin on the fourth floor, and the slave coffin on the fifth floor.

"The heavy coffin we need to look for is the emperor's coffin on the first floor, right?" I laughed and said, "It's really not that easy to find this coffin."

"Nope."

Daoist Jingyang interrupted me and said, "Maybe it will be in the coffin, maybe it will be in the coffin of the nobles, or it may be the coffin of the common people or the coffin of the slaves." ”

"Huh?" I was a little puzzled and asked, "Will this coffin still move?" ”

"It's not like moving, because these coffins are connected, and you must have heard that. This is according to the ancient hierarchy, so we can't be sure where the real coffin is. ”

"What are the characteristics of the coffin?"

"The heavy coffin is not painted with color, and although it is not known how many years have passed, it does not decay. As long as the coffin is found to be the primary color of wood and not rotten, it is a heavy coffin. ”

"We split up and there were twenty minutes left. Within these twenty minutes, the coffin must be found. Daoist Jingyang said, and jumped straight down.

I also jumped from it, and the three of them each looked for thirty-three coffins, which should be found in twenty minutes. In addition, all of the coffins we went up in front of were jet-black coffins, so we only needed to find two-thirds, sixty-six coffins.

Time is pressing, and if you can't find the coffin, you may really have to wait a day.
