Chapter 92: Fairy Fruit
What the person behind is looking for is likely to be hidden under the former ancient building, but Zhang Qixun didn't mean to remind Huo Xiangu about this.
Regardless of whether that thing exists or not, he will not let outsiders get it, and the reason why he promised Huo Xiangu is also to scatter smoke bombs.
Huo Xiangu will die, after going out of the ancient building, the person behind can only focus on Zhang Qixun with suspicion, but it can't be sure whether the thing is in Zhang Qixun's hand.
In fact, the reason is because it doesn't know what it is, just like Schrödinger's cat, he can't be sure whether it exists, and he can't deny that it doesn't exist, and it's the same when it comes to Zhang Qixun.
Soon they found a mechanism on the pillar on the west side that they could climb up, and everyone climbed up one by one to the fourth floor.
After going up, what was a little surprising was that there was only a huge human-faced turtle in the huge space on this level, and all around it was empty.
This turtle is as black as ink, its neck and limbs are very long, and the strange thing is that its slender neck has a feminine and fierce woman's face, thin eyebrows and long eyes, soft facial features, and the expression on its face is like a smile rather than a smile, much like some mysterious and terrible thangka figures in Tibetan culture, and the ends of the first two claws of this turtle are still in the shape of human hands.
And the strange thing is that no matter which direction they move from, the face they see is face to face with you, and the expression is constantly changing, distorted and weird, and those narrow and resentful eyes are always looking at you, staring at people's hearts can't stop hair.
"What's the situation?"
"Could this be another hallucination caused by some kind of mechanism?"
It can be seen that the psychological shadow caused by the poisonous gas pool in the cave to the people of the Huo family is still quite deep.
Zhang Qixun stretched out his hand and touched the face of the stone turtle, and found that the touch under the fingertips was a little sunken and fine, and he got closer and took a closer look, "It's a little interesting, the face of this thing has been treated by means later." ”
As he spoke, he motioned to the Huo family to turn off the light in his hand, leaving only the one in his hand still on, and then shone the flashlight from the chin of the stone turtle face, and the whole face of the stone turtle turned his head and turned over.
"I've played with the kaleidoscope, the reason why this thing changes its face, the actual principle is the same as the kaleidoscope, it relies on the mirror of light to refract the things inside, you can imagine that this stone turtle face is composed of a lot of delicate and small kaleidoscopes, so it will show the appearance of staring at people all the time."
The curious Huo family leaned over to take a closer look, and said with novelty: "Mother, this ghost thing really seems to be like this." ”
Huo Xiaoli had already climbed onto the back of the human-faced turtle and shouted, "Yu Ye, come and see, there is still something on the back of this big turtle." ”
Zhang Qixun also climbed up and saw that there was a black turtle shell on the turtle's back that was dented into it, and there was a charcoal black ball the size of a basketball in it.
Huo Xiaoli pinched his fingers and flicked it, and found that the black ball could move, so he picked it up with both hands and planned to take a closer look.
As a result, this look is like a face-to-face.
"I'm a!"
Huo Xiaoli shuddered, and immediately jumped to the side, and the black ball rolled off the stone turtle and fell to the ground, smashing the wooden floor with a loud metal sound.
Everyone was startled by him, and they all stared at the black ball on the ground as if they were facing a great enemy, for fear that it was a bomb and suddenly exploded.
Zhang Qixun was speechless, "What are you doing in a daze, it's a big young man, can't you act steadily?" ”
Huo Xiaoli's face turned pale, and he said with a bitter face: "That thing is very light, it seems to be a human head, no, I have seen more than one face, this ...... This thing can't be made by skinning people and sewing them together, right? ”
Zhang Qixun jumped off the stone turtle, approached the basketball-sized black sphere and looked at it, tried the weight on tiptoe, and then sneered unceremoniously: "You kid is not very bold, but the brain hole is quite big, and he also peels the human face, this is just a mud ball wrapped in a layer of metal, and the faces on it are all carved." ”
The little brother seemed to recognize what this thing was, and said three words lightly, "Clanrenguo." ”
Huo Xiaoli heard poorly, and his eyes were in disbelief, "What? Cannibal country? ”
Zhang Qixun rolled his eyes angrily, "Let you read more, you have to pretend to be a pig, the country of the people, the descendant of Emperor Yan of the Shennong clan." ”
Legend has it that the clay puppet used by the Shennong clan is the human face turtle body, and it is mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Hainan Neijing" that "the country of the clan is in the west of Jianmu, which is a human face and a fish body, without feet", and the country of the people in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the descendant of Emperor Yan.
The "Taiping Yulan" of the Song Dynasty quoted the "Customs and Customs" as saying that the world was opened up, and there were no people, and Nuwa made a man with loess.
Later, it was said that Nuwa used a rope to shake the yellow mud to make a lot of people, these primitive people lived a group life, polygamy, and reproduction was chaotic, and in order to make fertility clear, Nuwa asked each group cave to make dolls to count the number.
At that time, the clay puppet used by the Yandi of Shennong's clan was the human-faced turtle body, and later this human-faced turtle figure became the national emblem of the clan.
Zhang Qixun suddenly remembered that at that time, under the spirit hall of the Genting Heavenly Palace, the two-headed magnetic turtle they dug up was engraved with a woman's face, and it was hard to say whether there was a connection between them.
There is such a sentence recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Overseas Eastern Classic", "Oriental Jumang, bird body and human face, multiplying two dragons", the myth and legend of Jumang is the god of spring, also called the wood god, who dominates the growth of plants and trees in spring.
The form of the feather man is the body of a human-faced bird, which reminds him of the human-faced bird outside the bronze gate, and if he looks closely, he finds that the details of this stone turtle are very similar to the human-faced bird statues he has seen on the stone walls of Genting Heavenly Palace and Queen Mother Kingdom.
Looking at the human-faced turtle in front of him again, Zhang Qixun was not only a little suspicious of life, could it be that this thing was dug up by the ancestors of the Zhang family from a super ancient tomb in the period of the Three Emperors in ancient times and placed here as a decoration?
Thinking about it like this, it is not impossible for me to be a special mother.
As the most primitive family of tomb robbers, it is estimated that all the ancient tombs in this world that can be entered have been visited, and the secrets of the ultimate record in them were brought out by them and sealed in this ancient building of the Zhang family.
When Zhang Qixun looked around the face turtle, he didn't know which Huo family suddenly exclaimed, "Damn, look at it, what is the black pressure on this?" ”
When everyone heard this, they turned on the lights and looked up, and they were immediately shocked at this sight.
The ceiling on this floor was ridiculously high compared to the previous two floors, and the top was evenly and regularly interspersed with a large number of beams, forming a huge chessboard-like structure above their heads.
Seeing that there were still many things hanging in the shadows of the beams in those checkerboard lattices, some people couldn't help but be surprised: "What is hanging on this?" Is it a fairy fruit? As he spoke, he wanted to shoot down one with a gun and take a look.
"Bullshit fairy fruit." Zhang Qixun looked at him coldly and said, "That's the special one of our Zhang family's tezuka, if you kid dares to knock it down, I will screw off your head and hang it as a ginseng fruit." ”
The Huo family shrank their necks, quickly put away their guns, and laughed twice, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." ”
Looking up, the boxes hanging in the shadows are large and small, the shape is not fixed, the patterns on it are different, at a glance, there are tens of thousands of boxes, it looks quite shocking, extremely spectacular.
Someone couldn't help but hiss, "Damn, if all the people here are manpower, there will be at least thousands of people, is there so many people in the Zhang family?" ”
As soon as the words fell, someone with good eyes answered, "Are you stupid, the materials of these boxes are different from the old and new, and they are obviously hung up at different times. ”
Zhang Qixun and the little brother were silent and did not speak, to a certain extent, the Zhang family really experienced the disaster of extermination, but it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
It is very likely that the empty shells of the tezuka scattered on the ground in the left front side room of the annex building were knocked down from here, and it is very likely that the hands inside were taken to its territory by the Chen Qing faction for research.
The Huo family looked around and found that there were no other clues here except for the Ten Thousand Hand Mound and the Human-faced Turtle, so they spontaneously began to look for a way to the upper floor.
When Zhang Qixun and the two of them each looked at the tezuka above their heads, the Huo family had already found the entrance based on their previous experience.
Huo Xiaoli took the black ball full of human faces that he left behind back on the turtle shell and put it away, and then beckoned to Zhang Qixun, "Yu Ye, come here, we have found the stairs." ”
Zhang Qixun turned to look, and found that there was a part of the stone bricks on the east wall that just protruded, forming an upward stone staircase.
"Little brother, let's go." He said.
This floor has been re-enclosed with wood, and like many towers, there are many compartments and corridors, all of which are closed with doors and windows, and the window lattices are uniformly carved and neatly carved, and a layer of special black cotton paper is pasted on top, which is alkali-resistant to the touch and feels very similar to oil paper.
From the appearance, the caps of these compartments do not overlap with the ceiling, but cover them separately, and they are separated from the top by more than a meter, like large coffins arranged one by one, with very uniform length, width and height, and obsessive-compulsive disorder feels comfortable when they see it.
Walking up from the staircase, the whole space bloomed with a faint blue fluorescence, and when I looked up, I found that the top of the treasure was inlaid with many night pearls the size of children's fists, extending farther away like a blue Danube galaxy.
There was no shortage of people who let out salivating exclamations, but when they looked at the distance, the height from the bare feet to the top of the compartment was more than four meters, so they had to take a break from the food, unless they could mutate the kangaroo's genes before they could jump to the top of the compartment.
But this is impossible, before they can jump up, their heads are already dripping under their feet to kick the ball, which Zhang Qixun can fully guarantee.
After taking a few steps forward, Zhang Qixun tried to push the door of one of the compartments, and found that it was locked from the inside with a piggyback, that is, the door of this kind of compartment is limited to one-time entry and exit, and the moment the door is closed, the small hinge in the piggyback will be activated, and the door will be stuck.
However, this point is difficult for Zhang Qixun, and if he can't open the lock, then he will directly remove the door from the frame.
The structure between these wooden buildings is a traditional mortise and tenon structure, which is easy to disassemble if you know the trick.
Zhang Qi looked for the socket under the quasi-door shaft, inserted the tip of the short knife into the tenon inlaid in it to force out, and quickly removed the bottom of one side of the door frame, the upper shaft eye was slightly more time-consuming, because it was connected with the small top beam, and six small tenons were pried off in a row, and the bearing was removed entirely.
Then he held on to the wooden door and carefully pushed it inside, and the double door became a single door.
There was a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground, which looked very similar to alkali powder, and the Huo family was a little hesitant, but they saw Zhang Qixun and the little brother walking straight in, and after going around the coffin, they stood in front of a wall.
The space inside is not large, at most three square meters, there is a large black wooden coffin in front of it, and the wall facing the coffin is full of wooden plaques with dense characters, all of which are epitaphs written in square Chinese characters of small seals.
It can be seen from the epitaph that the people who can get a small compartment here are all very powerful people in the Zhang family's family and have made outstanding contributions to the family.
For example, the Zhang family in this compartment is a very capable person in the 34th generation of the Zhang family chessboard Zhang, whose name is Zhang Shengqing, born in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and lived for more than 170 years.
According to the content on these small wooden signs, it can be seen that Zhang Shengqing's life is very exciting, and the contributions made in his life are sprinkled all over the wall, but this person finally died in North Korea, when the border conflict was at its most intense, this person belonged to the great hero of the horse leather shroud, and was brought back by the clan to be buried here.
The contribution to the family fell behind the life, in addition to a variety of strange modifiers on the wooden card, his parents mentioned the most, and the credit made by this person's parents was also very brilliant, "There are countless mounds, and there are many gains, so as to determine the Zhu family, and make a lot of profits, with this two merits, the Tibetan tomb is among them."
It means that Zhang Shengqing's parents are particularly powerful, they have stolen countless ancient tombs in their lives, and what they get from them is very important, and they assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to pacify the Ming Dynasty, bringing a lot of benefits to the family, and making countless achievements.
"I rely on ......" Zhang Qixun couldn't hide his exclamation in his heart, this "to determine the Zhu family", is it Zhang Renfu, the general of the rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty? No, no, this man died in battle during the Battle of Longwan, died too early, and none of the ten founding generals had his name.
Who would that be?
To tell the truth, there are still quite a few generals under Lao Zhu whose surname is Zhang and who are good at arranging troops to fight.
