Volume 2: Dream of the Nujiang River Chapter 036 Ice Spirit Dragon Pill
The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is a typical karst landform development area, and the surface water seeps and dissolves downward along the limestone cracks, forming sinkholes. Lateral flow occurs after the groundwater falling from the sinkhole to the aquifer, forming a karst cave.
The crack I found was undoubtedly bad news, and in such an environment, it must be a problem if there was a lot of water pouring in, but fortunately, the water flow was not large, and it was about the same as the mid-range of the faucet.
"Little ghost, leave it alone, you go take care of Sissi!"
I immediately realized that Sissi and Yansheng, who were still in the corner, shouted Yu Fatzi, flew away, and pounced. Fat Yu also hurriedly touched it and looked at Yan Sheng to see if he was injured, "Thank God, it's okay, otherwise the fat man will be guilty." ”
"Hey, didn't that Sister Meng catch a lot of straw soles, why don't you dispense an antidote to Yansheng?"
"I guess there is no time, and this antidote can be said to be well matched."
The tomb was bumpy for a while, and finally calmed down, and the ghost marquis looked into the tomb, frowned, and said, "The falling stone has crushed the inside, and the yellow intestine question is almost destroyed." ”
"Ruined?" Yu Fatzi smiled, "That's good, let's tear it up and let go of some hands." ”
Yu Fatzi said he would do it, and he jumped down to move stones with his sleeves, not afraid of the hidden weapon just now. The knife also went down to help him, and the two of them carried a few yellow intestine woods, and after a while, they were sweating profusely, and their faces were red.
"Good guy, no wonder Lao Zhang's business is so good that Pan Jiayuan dumps wood, it turns out that this wood is so heavy!" Yu Fatzi said breathlessly.
"Fat brother, this yellow intestine wood is hardwood, of course the quality is not light, if you are tired, you can rest for a while?" Said the knife.
"How can you say that you are tired? My fat man has been hardworking since he was a child, this bit of work is a fart! Yu Fatzi wiped his sweat, "Knife, you put it down first, I'll try to carry it alone?" ”
The knife smiled and persuaded: "But Shen, you can be careful, don't flash your waist." ”
Yu Fatzi brought it up with interest, how can he care about this, he spat twice, then bent down to lift, he exerted force several times in a row but the wood did not move, and he couldn't help scolding: "What a fucking evil, so heavy, this is heavier than a stone!" ”
"Fatty, you get out of the way, or I'll come." As I spoke, I jumped down, "This piece of wood also requires skill, and brute force alone is not enough." ”
Carrying wood and lifting weights is a truth, there are two important force points, one is to lift the wood from below, it is a continuous process of force, if you lose your strength at this time, it will not be able to get up anyway, if you start to make a big effort, it is likely to flash your waist. The second point is in the shoulder that is carried, called the upper shoulder, this time is to pay attention to explosiveness, but endurance is also very important, if you finish lifting it, the strength will be gone, then this step is also delusional.
My movements looked very smooth, and I successfully put the wood on the ground, and Yu Fatzi could only stare dryly, and lost his temper for a while. Sister Meng and Huai Rujin didn't know how to come up with a way to use pulleys to transport wood, which greatly accelerated the cleaning process. It didn't take long for a one-man tall entrance to be pulled out from the inscription on one side.
The ghost marquis let the knife go in first, and Sister Meng stayed outside and took care of each other. He led me in and went in. I thought that the outside was collapsed, and the inside must be a mess, but after entering, I found that it was still relatively neat.
It's very dark inside, and the space is small, and it's like drilling a dog hole for a few people to get into. In fact, this yellow intestine is almost like a container, and it is divided into several parts, and there are really not many places to accommodate it.
The place where the coffin was arranged in the center, the two people could not be side by side, the smell of mold inside was very strong, Yu Fatzi suspected that it was the smell of corpses, and was anxious to get out, but there was no place for him to turn around, so he could only pinch his nose and walk forward.
After continuing to walk a few steps forward, the knife was no longer advancing, and I shone it back with a flashlight, and said, "Master Hou, come and see, there are words here?" ”
The character was engraved on the side of the coffin, and it was not carved very neatly, not in Chinese characters. The ghost marquis looked at it, and he couldn't say a rough idea. I leaned over to take a look, and at a glance I saw it very familiar, very close to the Yi script in Qu Ping's tomb, and said: "I know this character, it can be sure that it is Yi script." ”
"What is written?" The ghost lord asked.
"Then I don't know." I said helplessly.
"I said you guys don't grind, hurry up and open the coffin, it's all stinking to death!" Yu Fatzi pinched his nose and urged.
The ghost marquis glanced at him, "It's not a corpse smell, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Not the smell of corpses?" Fat Yu looked at us in a daze, looking quite embarrassed, "Why does it stink so much?" ”
"Fatty, that's what wood mold smells like." I sneered, "If the corpse stinks, we'd have escaped." ”
The knife examined the coffin and began to open it. At this point, my mood calmed down, even if I still wondered where the tomb in the photo was, at least for now, it didn't seem to be our final destination.
The moment the knife opened the lid of the coffin, Yu Fatzi screamed, his eyes were about to fall out, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "My mother, this ancestor is also beautiful." ”
I saw a female corpse lying inside, wearing a purple gold Zhai Fengzhu crown, wearing a crimson Luan Niao Chaofeng costume, with a calm and graceful bearing. The face is like a peach blossom with dew, a pair of red phoenix eyes, a slender body, delicate skin, and the hair is coiled into an extremely complex deer bun, decorated with a ruby hairpin, which is dazzling.
"This has to be an imperial concubine, right?" Said the knife.
"I don't think it like, although she is dressed in brocade clothes, they are all Han costumes, and it is strange that a yellow intestine inscription appears in a Yi tomb, and it is even more difficult to explain that there is a Han woman sleeping in it." I analyzed, "Even if it is the imperial concubine, there is no reason to enjoy the treatment of the yellow intestine question, unless she marries far away from the frontier, and the special gift of the imperial court is reasonable." ”
"it, there's a lot of good stuff here, let's take it away." Yu Fatzi was impatient.
"Wait, don't you think it's weird?" I stopped, "It's all moldy inside this mess, and this female corpse can still be preserved so well, like a living person?" ”
"There is a problem, even if it is anything else, it is impossible to have no trace of it." The ghost marquis also saw this problem and reminded everyone to be careful.
Yu Fatzi hurriedly touched some gold and silver jewelry inside, and smiled from ear to ear. The knife also took a few things, and Huai Rujin took off a string of gold-inlaid emerald pendants worn around the neck of the female corpse, which was worth 1.8 million yuan, to say the least, which was more expensive than the jewelry that Yu Fatzi took combined.
At this time, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the female corpse's mouth slightly open, as if it was holding something, so I took out my saber and pried it, and it turned out to be a red gem.
"Master Gu, this female corpse has something in her mouth." I was pleasantly surprised, "This thing is probably the secret that can keep a woman's corpse from rotting for thousands of years." ”
As soon as the ghost marquis was about to take out the red gem, the color of the corpse immediately changed, and he hurriedly put it back and said, "That's right, it's really the role of this gem." ”
"Master Gu, what is this bead? The pearl of the night? ”
"Of course it's not the Night Pearl, the Night Pearl doesn't have this effect at all." The Ghost Marquis pondered, "If I guess correctly, this should be the legendary Ice Spirit Dragon Pill. ”
"Ice Spirit Dragon Pill?" I was surprised.
"The Ice Spirit Dragon Pill is a legendary artifact that can make people's faces undamaged, and the earliest mythological origin is Xue Chen, the son of the Dragon King of the North Sea, and Xue Ning's Inner Dan, there are only two in the world." The ghost lord said, "This one is red, and there should be a blue one." ”
Xue Chen and Xue Ning are the sons of the Dragon King of the North Sea, Xue Chen is the king of Jiaze, and Xue Ning is the king of Fuze. The two dragons are in charge of the cold air, and there is a saying in the Shandong generation, saying that Xue Chen and Xue Ning two dragons have changed into two princes of Xue State, and they can fight well and benefit the people.
"Master Gu, I think it's better to take it out, this thing is a priceless treasure, it's a pity to lose it here." The knife couldn't help but pout.
I examined it carefully and said, "This dragon pill should be an extremely precious carnelian or blood chalcedony. ”
Carnelian has a delicate texture, crystal clear, pure and thick color, large hardness, and a crisp and melodious sound when gently tapped. The jade seal of Muhammad of the Arab Empire is a carved carnelian with a silver ring.
"To this day, Chinese Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism believe in the magic of this carnelian and blood chalcedony, and they also follow the ancient Egyptian tradition of placing carnelian with turquoise and lapis lazuli to enhance their own mana." I explained.
Blood chalcedony, also known as the Bloodstone, is a sacred stone that is said to hold the legend of Christian blood. Most of this chalcedony is dark green with red spots, which look like blood droplets, hence the name "Bloodstone".
The ghost marquis thought for a while and said: "If you take it, who should keep it, such a valuable thing must be properly kept, and it must not be allowed to circulate, otherwise there will be trouble." ”
"Master Gu, isn't it just a piece of blood chalcedony? If you take it, you can get it, we have a lot of Pan Jiayuan. ”
Blood chalcedony has a strong blood tonic effect, the ancient Egyptians used the powder of blood chalcedony to treat excessive blood loss, and also mixed the powder of blood chalcedony with honey as a blood tonic agent. Blood chalcedony contains a lot of iron, which can indeed help the wearer replenish blood qi and can also be carried around as an amulet.
"Fatty, can the things of Panjiayuan compare to this Ice Spirit Dragon?" I laughed, "Since ancient times, blood chalcedony has been believed to be a gem with absolute power to ward off demons. Legend has it that when Jesus was crucified and suffered, His blood dripped onto the jasper beneath the cross, which is called blood chalcedony. ”
"No wonder this place is rotten like this, this female corpse is still so glamorous." Fat Yu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Therefore, I estimate that this dragon pill is just a legend similar to the blood of Jesus, and the key is that the characteristics of this dragon pill itself are a kind of blood chalcedony with magical powers."
The ghost marquis carefully took out the Ice Spirit Dragon Pill contained in the mouth of the female corpse, and as soon as he took it out, the skin of the originally fresh female corpse instantly dehydrated and wrinkled, becoming a dry corpse covered with skin and bones.
"I want to come to this tomb to hide for thousands of years, in order to protect this rare treasure Ice Spirit Dragon Pill, right?" I said.
"That's true." The Ghost Marquis agrees with me, "This Ice Spirit Dragon Pill can not only be a dead man's face forever, but also prolong life, eliminate illness and pain, I have only heard of it in mythology for thousands of years, but I didn't expect to be able to touch it with my own hands today, which is really a great blessing in this life." ”
"Something like this is a secret that is not passed down in the world, and once this matter is leaked, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." Huai Rujin said with emotion.
