Chapter 48 The wooden coffin of the underground palace raises dragon clothes
The little white snake climbed down the giant pillar and came to the tablet of the ancestors of the Lu family, and blew on the tablet of the fifth column on the left side of the third row, and it suddenly turned.
At the same time, under the long table with a long cloth covering the eyes, a piece of the floor loosened a little.
Bai Lan lifted the floor with a snake's tail, only to see that under the floor was a three-foot-sized hole, which led obliquely to the depths of the ground.
He got into it, and with a turn of demonic power, the spirit card was restored, the floor was closed, and Bai Lan crawled deep underground.
The further down you go, the more empty the cave becomes, but the oxygen in the air is very thin, and the black hand cannot see the five fingers.
Bai Lan climbed more than 20 zhang, and a dungeon suddenly appeared in front of him, his snake body turned into a human shape and turned into hands and legs, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the underground wall on both sides of the near and far rows of candles, but blue phosphorus fire, because the wall was hanging phosphorus candles.
The light blue flames illuminated this side of the underground world, this passage has come to an end, in front of him is a stone door, there is a hidden mechanism on the left and right sides of the door that seems to open the door, but in fact, both are switches of the mechanism, as long as you press it, you will be killed by the boulder falling above your head and the arrow crossbow behind you.
Bai Lan stepped out in one step, and slapped the stone door with one hand, and it rose spontaneously. In fact, there is no door opening mechanism at all, you only need to lift it with your hands, but the stone door is heavy and has no focus point, and it is difficult for ordinary people to lift it.
However, there is a secret door on the other side that can be entered, but it will touch some other traps, and only the builder can enter without touching them.
Bai Lan walked through the stone gate, the boulder behind him slowly fell and raised a puff of dust on the ground, and the two rows of candles in the passage behind him were extinguished.
In front of him, there is still a long passage, which seems to have no mechanism, but there are extremely slender silver wires fixed on both sides of the stone wall, which cannot be found in this dim underground palace at all, although it will not cut off the head when walking over, but it will definitely be strangled by the silver wire, and the silver wire is still highly poisonous.
As soon as Bai Lan's body moved, he saw an afterimage shaking, and he crossed the dense silver thread channel, and then turned around and opened his mouth to spit out a poisonous mist that condensed into poison and attached to the silver thread and blended into it.
Where is the poison in the world, where is his demon poison?
Walking through this passage again, there is a black and white stone road in front of you, you need to walk this road according to the direction of the gossip, and if you take a wrong step, you will be caught by the boulder falling behind you and the boulder in front of you colliding into a meatloaf.
Bai Lan didn't take this road, but chose to fly over directly, so naturally there was no need to be so troublesome.
After this bend, there is another stone door in front of Bai Lan, this time there are still two hidden mechanisms on the stone door, but this time it is really a door opening mechanism, but it needs to be pressed by both mechanisms at the same time.
Bai Lan stretched out his left and right hands and pointed at him, and the stone gate slowly rose, but what he saw was a waterhole.
When I walked in, I found that there was a high platform by the waterhole, and a sandalwood coffin was placed on the high platform, lying there quietly.
Bai Lan didn't look at it, because there was only a pair of human bones there.
And once the coffin is opened, thousands of poisonous snakes will crawl out of the waterhole, attracted by the snake demon breath in the coffin, and bite when they see a living thing.
These poisonous snakes naturally migrate from Bailan during the year.
There are oxygen passages for snakes, and there are small holes at the bottom of the waterhole that only snakes can pass through to ensure that these snakes can survive.
Bai Lan jumped into the pool, and in the dark underwater world, snakes of different sizes swam or swam past Bai Lan, ignoring them.
Then sink to the pool, here is originally an underground dark river, after the transformation is more deep, there is a small hole on the right side of the water flow, Bai Lan drilled into it and then rushed up, actually broke the water out, came to a dark river for thousands of years through the stone cave.
Next to this stone cave, there is a coffin made of gloomy wood, which is a treasure tree that is contaminated with earth gas by natural changes deposited underground, and is known as sinking water for thousands of years without rotting, and it is difficult to be bored by insects for a hundred years.
Inside the gloomy wooden coffin is golden silk nanmu, which can protect the body from decay, and it is often used for the burial of emperors in the world.
These treasures are naturally not something that a prefect without a strong family background can do. It was found by Bai Lan from the deep mountains, and these treasured trees were worth thousands of gold once they were circulated, so there were no treasures in the deep mountains of Mo Dao, but they were difficult for mortals to find.
The gloomy wood is waterproof and rotten, and the golden silk nanmu protects the body from decay for thousands of years.
Bai Lan wants to leave his body here.
Hu Qiniang has the secret technique of avoiding robbery across the sky and the sea, and Bai Lan also has the magic power of stealing the sky and changing the day.
When he faded away, he was in the midst of new life and death
When he reached a trace of mystery, he met the image of the ancestor in the chaos of his mind, and visualized his form and realized a trace of the mystery of life and death, so as to obtain this substitute to cross the catastrophe secret technique.
As long as this coffin is within a radius of thousands of miles, when encountering a vitality crisis, it can be replaced by the dead, which is the only way to save life.
With a wave of his hand, Bai Lan opened the coffin and lay in in the form of a human, and the lid of the coffin was closed to seal the outside of the coffin.
Bai Lan fell into a long sleep, and it is not easy to replace the secret technique of death, otherwise the monks of heaven and earth will disturb the fixed number of life and death with one hand, how can the number of days continue?
Bai Lan's body was attached to the dragon clothes that he had faded when he was 200 years old, and his body was like a body, and the dragon clothes were like corpses.
He cultivated this pair of dragon clothes with demonic energy and essence, and the two qi of Taiyin and Shaoyin rotated all over his body, slowly separating the body from the corpse.
Next to the waterhole of the dark palace, the years are endless, year after year.
Ten Thousand Snake Mountain is still as usual, and there is no Gu Master of the Seven Gu Sect to attack, Lu Yutang of the Lu clan in Xiahe also became an official to the second grade of the household servant twelve years later, and the descendants of the Lu clan have also produced several people, and most of the children serve as officials such as the county magistrate, the magistrate, and the lord Bo everywhere.
Among them, Lu Yutang's fifth son is quite talented, and he was admitted to the Jinshi by himself, and Lu Yutang also paved the way for his son in the court. The Xiahe Lu family has also become a famous family in Yinzhou.
On this day, Lu Yutang, who was sleeping with his fifth aunt in the Jinjing mansion, had a dream in a drowsiness.
In the dream, there was no one in his field of vision, from the Lu family's ancestral house to the Lu family ancestral hall, and then suddenly sank into the underground palace that he quietly built, the vision crossed the passages and finally sank into the bottom of the water, and the poisonous snakes swam in front of his eyes as if it were true, Lu Yutang was terrified, he knew that this was a dream, but there was no way to wake up from the dream.
The scene in front of me changed to the bottom of the water and then to the land, and on the shore, there was a strange coffin lying horizontally.
Lu Yutang was shocked, he didn't remember that a coffin was placed here when it was built.
The vision shifted to the coffin again, and the coffin lid in the dark valley made a strange sound of "creaking" and "creaking", and the coffin lid itself slowly opened.
Lying in the coffin turned out to be a real person, a young handsome man.
Lu Yutang was shocked in his heart, because he remembered that he was poor and destitute before the imperial examination was completed, and his ancestral house was almost unable to be saved, but fortunately he was rescued by a young man with a mysterious origin.
Over the years, his vision has gradually risen, and he gradually doesn't believe that person is the Liu Xian that his wife said.
He moved to the ancestral hall, although there was indeed a reason for Liu Xiantuo's dream, but this underground palace was for him to keep his family wealth and avoid disasters.
It's just that now because he is an official in the court, he has many eyes, and it is inconvenient to move.
But Lu Yutang was also frightened by the man in front of him, more than thirty years have passed, in this world, except for the immortal cultivators and the Holy Emperor, there are really only gods and demons who can keep their faces unchanged
Suddenly, the young man sleeping in the coffin opened his eyes, as if looking directly at him through a dream.
Lu Yutang shouted in horror, sat up from the bed suddenly, and slowly opened his eyes.
The fifth aunt who was awakened next to him was too busy patting his vest on the back and said with relief: "Master, this is a nightmare? ”
Lu Yutang broke free of the soft and smooth hands of the fifth aunt, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, sat down at the table, and drank three cups of herbal tea, and his thoughts slowly cleared up.
Years of political experience as an official made the scholar already resourceful and shrewd.
He is a dignified second-class member of the dynasty, although he has a subordinate character, but he is also a big man with a long crown. He also knows a lot of inside stories about ghosts and ghosts, if he wants to, he only needs a letter to send back, and naturally there will be no more Liu Xian in the ancestral house, even if it will be opposed by the whole clan, but who made him the head of the household in the court? Even if you don't want to, you have to obey.
But Lu Yutang is an ambitious person, but also a person with family honor, he was born without a mother, and when he was a little older, he lost his father because of his father's involvement in gambling, and since then he has been confused and unmotivated.
It wasn't until he woke up from the panic that his ancestral home was sold and he almost became a lost dog, and since then, he has been able to read a book at a glance and ten lines, has an excellent memory, and is more reflexive, and has survived many crises in his political career for more than 30 years.
Lu Yutang thought of the prestige of other local clans, and their influence spread all over the government and the opposition, and a trace of unwillingness burned in his heart.
He got up and went back to his study, where he spent the night alone.
It wasn't until dawn that Lu Yutang made a decision, and he decided to take leave from the imperial court and return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Last night, he read the history of the Lu family again, and suddenly found that his ancestor had accompanied this Liu Immortal since he was in the beginning.
Lu Yutang has decided, he wants to respectfully invite this White Snake Immortal to be the ancestral god of his Lu clan!
Each of the eight great families of the Great Jin Dynasty not only has a strong secular strength behind it, but also has a powerful transcendent power behind the unknown, and some mountain gods and river gods and even city gods in the Great Jin Dynasty have the shadow of their family.
If the Lu family wants to become a high-class family, it is indispensable to be an ancestral god. Because many things that the yang world can't do anything about it are easy for the yin world.
In April of that year, Lu Yutang, the head of the household department, asked the saint to listen, returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and the saint was allowed to play.
Lu Yutang can also be regarded as returning to his hometown, and along the way, the government officials from all over the country are almost solemnly entertained, and even the gods of the mountains and rivers in the aisles have to protect the road for him.
The official of the Great Jin Dynasty is an extraordinary person, every official has the protection of the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the idle demons and evil can't get close at all, and the ordinary little monsters can die if they are scolded by the officials with the aura of Qingyun on their heads. This is also the reason why Lu Yutang used to have great respect for Liu Xian, but now he has less respect.
In the underground palace under the ancestral hall of the Lu family, Bai Lan got up and walked out of the underground, and after twelve years of cultivating the treasure body of the dragon clothes, he was able to succeed in the secret technique of crossing the robbery.
From the moment he walked out of here, Bai Lan was no longer so afraid of death.
Because there is a heavy back hand, there is stability in the bottom of the heart, natural and confident, calm and elegant.
He walked down the mountain, Xiahe Village is no longer what it used to be, the whole village is the Lu family's field house, and the former Lu family's ancestral house has also been built and renovated over the years, from the three-entry courtyard to the six-entry mansion gate.
Bai Lan watched the plaque hanging on the high gate change from the wooden one to the jade carving decoration, and the dazzling word "Lu Fu" added a bit of majesty.
The cars and horses in front of the door are piled up, most of them are wealthy and illustrious, ushering in and sending them off, and the guests are full of people, so it is not lively.
Bai Lan walked past a peach blossom in full bloom and took down a pink peach blossom and walked to the door of Lufu.
It just so happened that an official lady held the maid's hand and stepped on the soft stool that the little maid had fallen, slowly got down from the carriage, and when she looked up, she saw a handsome man in white walking in front of her, she had seen many rich boys, but she had never seen such a chic and refined combination of man, her mind swayed, her feet slipped, and she was about to fall down.
But at this time, the man in white helped her with one hand, half-hugged her waist and helped her up, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "This young lady, you have to be careful next time." ”
The clear young man's voice echoed in the young lady's ears, and her cheeks became feverish, "Thank you for your help, the little girl remembers." ”
She watched intently as the white-clothed man held a wooden box in his hand, walked to the door of the Lu Mansion, handed the wooden box to the porter servant, and turned to leave.
"Miss! Miss! The maid beside him called softly twice, "The sons of the people have gone away, and you haven't recovered yet?" ”
"What are you talking about?" The young lady hid her face and said coquettishly: "I just thank people for their help." ”
"Yes, miss. Let's improve it too, don't let the master and uncle wait for a long time. The maid whispered in her ear: "If the young lady is really interested in that son, didn't he give a gift?" Later, just ask your uncle, and you will know the origin of your family, but you will find a matchmaker to come to the door and marry Miss You. ”
"Oh, if you talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Miss airway.
In the house, Lu Yutang and his family received a group of powerful people in Yinzhou, and a small servant walked to his side, seeing that the old man was talking to the guests, he didn't dare to say much.
After waiting for a while, he was about to speak, but he saw a little boy running out and just bumping into him, and the little boy opened the box without holding it in one hand.
Such an alarm naturally caused everyone, and Lu Yutang scolded when he saw this situation: "What's the matter with you? Collided with the little master. ”
The little guy hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Xiao Tong stood up and said with a smile: "Dad, it's okay, I fell down myself." ”
Lu Yutang's wife Wang on the side glanced at it and did not open her mouth to belittle the tiresome children born of this concubine, those who are wives, those who are obedient to their husbands for a long time, and those who rebel against their husbands are sad.
She had always been a wise woman, even though she was nearly fifty years old.
It's just that when Lu Wangshi saw the congratulatory gift like white jade on the ground, the corners of her eyes jumped suddenly, and she stood up and walked to Xiao Tong's side and picked up the white jade.
A guest on the side smiled and said, "Yo, which white jade is this, so that the eldest lady can't take their eyes off it." ”
Lu Yutang also looked at the words, and he said with a little displeasure: "Since Madam likes this white jade, I will send it back to the room to have a good look." Now the house is full of guests. ”
Lu Wangshi didn't pay attention to him, but suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "Master! You see, it's..."
In the middle of her words, she woke up and changed her words: "This is a congratulatory gift from our father-in-law. ”
Lu Yutang was stunned, what kind of father? He took the white jade in Lu Wang's hand, and as soon as he got it in his hand, it was cold and delicate, but the irregular corners and special texture, only when he looked closely did he realize that it looked like a scale, a scale on the body of a beast!
He woke up suddenly, turned his hand into his sleeve to block the eyes of the guests who wanted to explore, and asked, "Who sent this piece of white jade?" ”
The little guy on the side hurriedly replied: "The little one doesn't know who the guest is who gave the gift, but I only know that it is for the very handsome boy in white, with an extraordinary temperament, and the little man dares to think of giving it to the master." ”
Lu Wang asked, "What else did that prince say?" ”
The little girl's nervous voice trembled slightly, but he knew that this was a good opportunity for him to enter the eyes of the old lady.
"The boy said that this jade is called white fragrant jade, which can be placed in front of the incense case to be offered, and the jade is more expensive over time.
He also said that this thing must be handed over to the master and his wife in person, and asked the master and his wife to take their eyes. ”
Lu Yutang frowned, and said in a low voice: "Bai Xiangyu, Bai, Xiangyu..."
"Oh, yes!" The little guy suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "I asked the son's name and surname, family background, and how to call him, and he said that his surname is Bai, Bai Gongzi!" ”
