Volume 6 Chapter 24 A ghost laughs like a ghost cryes
A group of people passed through a short corridor and came to the more gloomy and dark back palace hall, looking at the inscription in the corridor, the second half of the hall is called "Shangzhen Palace", the hall is full of inscriptions, and there are eight separate mural walls.
Although the hall is deep, but because there are many stone tablet painting walls, it still seems slightly cramped, but the layout is quite reasonable, eight mural walls are placed in the shape of nine palace gossip, each wall is made of a large brick, all are white background and three color paintings.
Except for some murals that reflect the war scenes, almost one brick and one painting, or one or two figures, or two or three animals, buildings, and instruments, covering all the political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, military, religious, and ethnic fields of the ancient Dian Kingdom during the Xianwang period.
These may be priceless treasures for archaeological experts, but they are of little use to Chen Yulou and others who touch the gold and fight upside down, and they only hope to find some information about the situation of the tomb of the king.
The painting in the eight mural walls, no less than thousands, combined with the stone tablet inscriptions in the hall, the whole is a complete collection of historical materials of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
The large murals are all war scrolls, recording two wars commanded by King Xian during his lifetime, the first being with the kingdom of Yelang, both of which were regarded as southwestern in the Han dynasty.
Although Yelang Country is an independent country, its land area is very small, the people are few, and the products are even more scarce.
However, since the neighboring area is the largest in the country, the king of Yoro, who has never left the country, thinks that the country he rules is the largest country in the whole world.
When the envoy of the Han Dynasty came, he actually asked the envoy of the Han Dynasty triumphantly, which is bigger than the Han Dynasty and the Yelang Kingdom.
The envoy of the Han Dynasty almost urinated at that time, Nima, a country that is not as big as a county in the Han Dynasty, actually asked him which one is bigger?
Since then, there has been an additional idiom in the Chinese idiom database - Yelang is arrogant.
The second war recorded on the mural was the massacre of the local Yi people at the foot of the Shalong Mountain after King Xian broke away from the ruling system of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
Both wars were resoundingly victorious, killing the enemy heavily, capturing a large number of prisoners of war and capturing many supplies.
At that time, the two opponents, whose social form was still in the late stage of slavery, the means of production were extremely backward and primitive, and the smelting technology of bronze was far inferior to the ancient Dian Kingdom that inherited the means of the Qin people, so they were not the opponents of the Dian people at all.
Among the prisoners of these wars were a large number of slaves, and these prisoners of war and slaves became the main force in the construction of the tomb of the king in the future, and the murals and inscriptions naturally exaggerated these achievements.
In the corner of the large mural in the middle, there are two small paintings, both of which are the scene of offering sacrifices to the king when he ascends to the sky, and the corpses are filled with corpses and burned in the copper tripod, which is a terrible situation.
However, the mural still does not have any description of the underground palace dedicated to the tomb of the king, and there is a wall where the paintings are all rituals, including the activities of inviting the heavens, divination, and witchcraft, and the scene is very strange.
Luo Lao saw that the apse was full of these things, and he was suddenly bored, and took the guards to wander around, and suddenly found something in the middle of the mural wall, and hurriedly greeted Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng.
Originally, on the ground in the middle of the hall, there was a six-legged large copper tripod, which was covered with a copper cover, and there was a huge copper ring on each side.
The six legs of the copper tripod are six half-kneeling beasts, the shape is vigorous and simple, the whole body is knotted, the body is full of scales, and the appearance of roaring is very similar to the unicorn from the shape of the shape.
This copper tripod is surprisingly large, and for some reason, it is painted in all black colors, without any floral decoration.
Chen Yulou had just seen the mural of the boiling corpse and sacrificing to the sky, and immediately said: "This is probably the big tripod that is ready to cook the corpse in the festival, and the mouth of the tripod is still sealed, which shows that the king has not been dissected into an immortal, and his bones are still in the coffin of the underground palace, otherwise there is no need to seal this giant tripod." ”
Luo Changfeng echoed: "The head is always right, if I guess correctly, there must be a corpse sealed with wax in this ding at this time, we had better not touch this thing, because I smell the smell of fire." ”
"Look at these six beast statues, all of their mouths are facing the copper tripod, no accident, there must be a mechanism on this cover, and the lid will be triggered when it moves, and these six beast statues will definitely spit flames from their mouths, and burn this tripod into a big fireball. ”
"The main body of this Lingyun Heavenly Palace is a structure of Nanmu and bricks, which is very dry, and if it burns up, I am afraid that this Heavenly Palace will become a fire palace. ”
When Chen Yulou heard this, he also leaned over to the top cover and sniffed, confirming Luo Changfeng's words: "There is indeed the smell of fire and gunpowder, and this copper tripod cannot be touched." ”
Luo Changfeng knew that there were two things in this Ming Building that could not be touched, one was this copper tripod, and the other was the largest wall in the middle of the walls painted with murals.
If you move the copper tripod, it will catch fire, if you move the mural wall, it will activate the mechanism, the roof of the corridor will collapse, blocking the way out, and then many beast heads and the red jade dragon will come out and spit mercury, flooding the palace.
As long as these two things are not touched, the palace is safe, and no matter how much they toss, there will be no problems.
Hearing what Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng said, Luo Lao Crooked suddenly lost interest in this copper tripod, and said impatiently: "I see that there are indeed no bright weapons in this Ming Building, although those bronze statues and red jade dragons are valuable, but unfortunately they are too big and heavy, and we can't get them away at all." ”
"Let's hurry out, wait for the partridge whistle brother to use the method of 'dividing the gold and fixing the hole' to determine the location of the underground palace, let's ......"
"Giggle...... Hey, hey, hey......"
Before Luo Lao's crooked words fell, a strange laughter suddenly sounded, listening to the voice was a woman, but her treacherous and cold laughter was absolutely ill-intentioned, and the laughter was like ice and frost, as if it could freeze people's hearts.
Everyone trembled in unison, and then they all looked at the only two women on the scene, the Red Girl and the Flower Spirit.
Chen Yulou said angrily: "What are you laughing at? ”
At this time, the two girls were also cold, and Hua Ling said in a trembling voice: "No...... It's not us, we didn't laugh. ”
Listening to Hua Ling's words, everyone's hearts were even cooler, whether it was a swordsman or a soldier of the guard, they gathered around Chen Yulou and the others, looking around in disbelief, the beams of searchlights and headlamps flashed chaotically.
The partridge whistled in his mouth: "Hair mound seal, touch the golden talisman, protect the body without protecting the ghost and blow the lamp, the coffin, the bronze coffin, the eight characters are not hard, do not approach, the burial pit, the box grave, move the mountains and unload the mountains to walk around, the naked clothes are fierce, the smiling corpse, the ghost laughs is better than listening to the ghost cry." ”
Chen Yulou obviously understood these words that the partridge whistled about, so even he, who had never believed in them, was worried and subconsciously looked at Luo Changfeng.
But seeing that his ears were trembling slightly, Chen Yulou couldn't help but be slightly stunned, what is he...... Listening to the sound of the position?
I don't know why, seeing that Luo Changfeng didn't panic in the slightest, but just a slightly solemn face, his heart settled down inexplicably.
The words of the partridge whistle just now were talking about several things that were more terrible than zongzi zombies.
The last sentence means that when you touch the gold upside down, when you encounter a dead body wearing a red and no variegated mourning clothes, or a dead person with a smile on his face, it is a sign of great evil, and it is difficult for those whose lives are not hard enough to see the light of day again.
Ghost cries can be found in many places, and some people will mistake wolf howls for ghost cries, and sometimes ghost cries will be blown when the wind is too strong, and these are all okay.
Even if it is really a ghost crying, most of the ghosts who can cry are just lonely ghosts, not much harm, and the black donkey's hooves and touching the gold talisman are enough to ward off evil spirits and protect themselves.
The most feared thing is to hear the ghost laugh in the graveyard, there are many factors that can cause the ghost to cry, but none of those factors can cause laughter, only the ghost will laugh.
That's why I said that a ghost laughing is better than listening to a ghost cry.
