Chapter 449: Bronze Coffin
"King Xian has designed such a complicated mechanism in the dungeon, how can we get in?" Shirley Yang came to the bronze door, touched the cold bronze, and couldn't help asking.
Hu said: "Since it is the gate to heaven, in order to smoothly ascend after the corpse is dissected into an immortal, the owner of the tomb generally does not set a lock on the gate of heaven, as long as it is directly pushed open."
Wang Fatzi smacked his tongue: "This bronze door weighs at least 100 tons, does it make a difference if it can't be locked?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed the bronze door hard, but he couldn't move, so he had no choice but to retreat.
"Master Song, can this door be opened?" Wang Fatzi looked at Song Xing hopefully, at this moment in his heart, Song Xing had turned into an omnipotent existence, with Song Xing here, he felt that nothing in this underground palace could stop him.
Song Xing really didn't disappoint Wang Fatzi, walked to the bronze door, and pressed the door with one hand, and the bronze door slowly parted to both sides in the shocked and awe-inspiring eyes of Wang Fatzi and several others.
"Master Song, Godman! Now some people say that you are a man of God, and I have no doubt about it." Wang Fatzi was shocked, and he didn't forget to be poor.
Behind the bronze door, there is a long inlay passage, winding and deep and remote.
The three of them followed Song Xing along the embedded road for a long time, and suddenly a rope bridge appeared, and the bottom of the bridge was bottomless, like a pool of stagnant water.
Hu looked at the surrounding arrangements and said, "Ascending to the Heavenly Gate, the Third World Bridge, it's the arrangement of the corpse to become an immortal, that's right. The so-called Three Worlds Bridge is built according to the burial ritual method of autopsy and ascension to immortals, because in ancient legends, people need to step on the bridge to cross the three worlds after death, so as to get rid of the entanglement of the world, and then they will be reborn, travel too empty, and be a free immortal."
Wang Fatzi gave Hu a thumbs up: "Old Hu is good, he even understands this kind of thing."
Hu smiled awkwardly, didn't say anything more, and took the lead to climb the rope bridge along the rope.
Hu, Shirley Yang and others followed.
Everyone carefully stepped on the Third World Bridge, who knows if this bridge is in danger?
When everyone stepped on the Sanshi Bridge, they found that the feeling of being down-to-earth came, and there was nothing abnormal except for a slight shaking.
After successfully passing the Third World Bridge and advancing a little further, several people came to a Yin Palace made of white jade stones.
"The chiseled mountain is a mausoleum, the tomb chamber is a horizontal cave type, and the palace wall, corner tower, royal hall, front hall, storage room, tomb road and Yongdao are all complete in the underground palace, which is obviously the style of the tomb before the Han Dynasty."
Hu came to the middle of the Yin Palace, pointed to the floor tiles under his feet and said, "After the Han Dynasty, brick and stone arches or stacked tombs were used by people, and the style of floor tiles here is in line with the structural characteristics of the tombs before the Han Dynasty."
"And you see, although these white jade bricks are not big, judging from the material and color, they are at least a product of the Han Dynasty."
Song Xing exclaimed, "Amazing, brother."
The tomb belongs to the hollow structure, there are two layers of inner and outer layers, these people are still in the outer layer, so they went to the depths of the tomb with a flashlight, and in the middle of the Yin Palace, they saw three human-shaped coffins.
In the center of the underworld hangs a copper coffin, which is the largest and heaviest, with nine heavy locks, which is extremely prominent.
Next to it is a wooden coffin on the ground, the coffin body is unlacquered but black like charcoal, Hu recognized that this is a very special material coffin, and there is a sarcophagus in addition to the two.
Wang Fatzi was a little strange: "Of the three coffins, which one is dedicated to the king?"
Hu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you open all three coffins and take a look?"
After speaking, Hu instructed Wang Fatzi to go to the corner of the tomb to light a candle, and he and Shirley Yang walked towards the coffin.
"Wait a minute." Shirley Yang suddenly raised her hand to stop Hu's movements.
Hu looked up: "What's wrong?"
Shirley Yang had a thoughtful look on her face, "The Third World Bridge just now, the three coffins here, will there be any connection between them?"
Hearing Shirley Yang say this, Hu also straightened up and said, "I have read a record that says that the first three lives of a person are like going through three hells, and finally he dies a very miserable death, so he should use a special coffin to symbolize his incarnation in the world. Do you mean that these three coffins contain the three bodies of the king, not the real body?"
Song Xing nodded in the back: "Immortal Dao turns into three lives, Xianwang is proficient in the art of feng shui, through the various arrangements in front, he will definitely not simply place the body here. Since it's the Third Bridge, there may be three places to put the coffin."
Just as a few people were talking, six phosphorus fires suddenly lit up.
Hu shone it with a flashlight, and saw a dried corpse bound to a wooden frame by iron cables, and the wick above his head was not extinguished.
Shirley Yang stepped forward, took a look, and was surprised to find that the upper body of the dried corpse was actually a human, with dense sharp teeth in the mouth, and a fishtail on the lower body: "Is this a black-scaled person?"
"Blackscales?" Hu also came over curiously, and took the searchlight in his hand to shine on the corpse.
"It is rumored that there are friends in the Zhongnanhai who lurk in the deep sea and attack passing ships. People who fall into the water are often gnawed and have no bones left, and they can't imagine that they really exist."
There have long been rumors of friendship in the world, which is not unusual at all, but Hu is inevitably surprised when he sees it with his own eyes now.
Wang Fatzi appeared next to Hu in surprise: "Could this be the legendary mermaid? It's a bit of a stumbling point."
Song Xing looked at this ugly-faced friend and said, "Legends are just people's good wishes and imaginations, how can they be taken seriously. However, Yunnan is not close to the South China Sea, where did these friends come from to offer the king?"
After two thousand years, there is no answer, but the appearance of the handover also means how much the king has paid for immortality.
The fat man asked curiously, "Why does the king use this person as a lamp?"
"The ointment of the Black Scaled Men has a very low ignition point, only one drop can burn for months, so many nobles in ancient times would use it as an immortal candle in their tombs. For example, there is a record in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that mermaid paste is used as an eternal lamp."
Just as a few people were staring at the handover, three immortal candles suddenly lit up again in the tomb, and the bronze coffin that was originally hanging in the air shook violently for no reason, as if something was about to break out of the coffin.
At the same time, the three candles placed by the fat man in the corner were suddenly blown out by a yin wind.
Hu and Shirley Yang looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to Wang Fatzi at the same time: "Fatty, what did you just do in the tomb?"
The bronze coffin shook for no reason, and Hu's first thought was that Wang Fatzi must have moved something in the tomb again.
Wang Fatzi looked at the bronze coffin that was shaking more and more, and was so frightened that he was incoherent: "I didn't move anything, I just saw a bronze mirror on the bronze coffin when I lit the candle, and I took it off easily."
Hu's face turned pale: "That's the magic weapon used to suppress corpses in the tomb, you take away the bronze mirror, the things in the bronze coffin, you can't suppress it."
Shirley Yang immediately said, "Quickly put the bronze mirror back while the contents have not come out yet."
Wang Fatzi was so frightened that he quickly took out a bronze mirror from his arms and put it back on the bronze coffin.
When passing by Song Xing's side, Song Xing suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Fatzi.
Because of this delay, the bronze coffin had already broken the iron chain and smashed down heavily in the more violent shaking.
