The more I listened, the more I admired the knowledge of the shopkeeper.

Among the people I came into contact with before, Jiang Yongguang and Xiao Liang were already knowledgeable people, but now compared with the shopkeeper Wang, both of them are much inferior.

It can be seen that there are really people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and the masters are in the people.

Even Sister Hong, who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, was attracted by the shopkeeper's remarks, and asked attentively: "The one who supports the pot, the King of Shu in the Baiguan period, why did he put the coffin on the tree?" ”

The shopkeeper of the king said clearly: "This still has to be explained from the name of the king of Shu - Bai Guan. As I said earlier, 'cypress' refers to trees, and 'shrub' refers to white cranes, don't you think it's strange why the king of Shu put these two seemingly unrelated words together to form a name? ”

Sister Hong shook her head in confusion and said, "I don't know." ”

I also felt very dazed, and then shook my head and said, "I don't know either." ”

The shopkeeper said: "The names of the kings of Shu in the past dynasties are not casually given. The reason why silkworm cong is called silkworm cong is because the Shu people at that time were prevalent in raising silkworms, and the reason why the fish is called fish is because the Shu people in the fish shark period are good at fishing, and the fish is the meaning of the osprey, which is an important tool for them to fish. ”

At this time, Mr. Liao asked: "Didn't you say before that the Shu people in the Baiguan period lived in the forest, does this cypress mean living in the forest?" ”

"What about the irrigation?" Shopkeeper Wang smiled and asked, "How do you explain it?" ”

Mr. Liao thought for a moment and forcibly explained: "Maybe there were a lot of white cranes in the woods at that time? ”

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head: "It's unlikely, birds like white cranes don't inhabit the woods, so the name Bai Guan is contradictory at first glance." ”

The more I listened, the more curious I became, indeed, the name "Bai Guan" is indeed not like a name such as silkworm bush and fish fish, and you will know what it means when you hear it.

At this time, the shopkeeper continued: "But the white crane was a symbol in ancient times, symbolizing immortality, feathering and ascending immortals, and the white crane was the mount of the gods. We usually euphemistically say that people are dead, and we all say that we will drive the crane west, which is precisely the reason. ”

We all nodded.

The shopkeeper Wang said: "Therefore, the irrigation in this cypress irrigation does not actually refer to the real white crane, but by extension to the meaning of immortality, feathering and ascending to immortals, I speculate that the real meaning of the word cypress irrigation is 'living in the forest can be immortal', or to exaggerate a little more, it is the meaning of 'buried in the tree can become an immortal'." ”

Hearing this, I finally understood why the king's shopkeeper guessed that the coffin of the tomb owner would be buried in this tree.

Because this is exactly what Bai Guan intended.

The owner of the tomb wants to rely on the big tree and become an immortal!

Recalling the scenes depicted on the previous bronze and sarcophagus reliefs, the reason why those Shu people were sacrificed to the big tree was also to pursue immortality and become immortals.

Everything makes sense!

I couldn't help but praise: "The one who served the pot is really knowledgeable, which is so admirable." ”

At this moment, I almost forgot that he was a grave robber who had committed a felony crime.

The shopkeeper Wang twisted his beard and smiled, and said: "This is nothing, my little knowledge, compared with the palm-eyed master, it is simply a candle flame than the moon, and a horse is better than a unicorn." Nothing! ”

I am even more itchy when I say this, I really want to see what kind of character Master Gao is behind the scenes.

I want to ask him face to face, why should a master like him, who has profound cultivation and has a wide range of hands and eyes, be a traitor and sell the country's treasures abroad, doesn't he even have the arrogance of a literati?

At this time, Mr. Liao on the side asked: "Shopkeeper Wang, if you say so, then does the owner of the tomb think that as long as the coffin is placed on the tree, he will be able to become an immortal?" Is it really that simple? ”

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head lightly and said: "I can't say this well, after all, everything is just my inference, and there are too few historical materials about the Baiguan period, and I don't know how to operate it." ”

At this point, two rats had climbed to the top of the ancient tree, and they climbed all the way to find it, but they never seemed to find any trace of the coffin.

"Serve the pot! There is no coffin on it! ”

"Serve the pot! I didn't see a coffin! ”

The two of them were condescending, and they could obviously have an unobstructed view of the tree, not to mention that the tree had been dead for many years, and there were no leaves, so it was obviously impossible to hide a coffin on it.

The shopkeeper was not satisfied with this result, and asked in a deep voice, "No coffin?" That's impossible! Look for it again! Let's see if there's something left behind! ”

But the rat on the top immediately responded: "There is really no pot!" We searched all over the place, but we really didn't see the coffin! ”

"What the is up there?!" The king's shopkeeper was furious and shouted loudly.

The person above immediately replied: "There seems to be a thief hole on it, I don't know who dug it, and you can go straight to this thief hole from the treetops." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately thought of the white-clothed fairy girl before.

After she took the ancient Shu jade slip, she climbed up to the treetops, Uncle Mei and I didn't catch up with her just now, but now the shopkeeper Wang's subordinates have all gone up the tree, but they haven't seen her anywhere.

Now it seems that she must have escaped from this thief hole, and this thief hole is probably the one she made.

"It's that fairy girl in white! It was the thief hole she dug. ”

I hurriedly said to the king's shopkeeper,

"The coffin of the owner of this tomb should have been taken away by her, right?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was furious, clenched his fists and said, "Damn it! Where did the peers come from, dare to do bad things to me again and again! You really don't take me seriously! ”

Mr. Liao said: "This white-clothed fairy girl is not simple, it can be seen from her method of killing the earth dog that she has a good background, and it is likely that she has a national art inheritance." Looking at it now, she was able to directly hit the thief hole above the mound dragon, this feng shui skill is unconvincing! ”

Only then did I react, this thief hole really hit the top of the bronze dragon remains, and from the thief hole, you can directly find the coffin of the tomb owner, as well as the ancient Shu jade slip.

From this point of view, the skills of the white-clothed fairy girl seem to be far above the king's shopkeeper, and I am afraid that she can break her wrists with Master Gao.

I can't help but sigh that this tomb of the king of Shu is really worthy of a thousand-year-old treasure cave, and it has attracted so many strange people.

Seeing that a tree had been searched all over the place, and there was no trace of the coffin of the tomb owner, the rats on it asked the king's shopkeeper for instructions: "Can we come down from the pot?" Or do you want to go and take a look in the thief's cave? ”

The shopkeeper Wang was not reconciled, and said loudly: "Don't come down yet!" Look for me again! I don't believe that the fairy girl in white also moved the coffin, how can she have so much ability!? ”

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a "tuk tuk" sound behind me, which made people's scalp tingle, as if it was the sound of scraping wood with some metal sharp object......
