Chapter 33: The Tomb Road


The sound was extremely harsh, like a cat scratching a blackboard.

I shrank my neck, and then I had the courage to ask: "What the hell is going on?"

"Logically speaking, one ever-burning lamp in the tomb can only correspond to one corpse.

But there are two coffins in this tomb.

Let's count his husband and wife's tomb, so this should be the corpse in the empty coffin."

Gu Xinlie squinted his eyes. , stroking the long black knife in his hand with his black gloved palm.

"We have all been deceived."

At this time, Chi You Sanqian said to us with a wry smile, looking a little depressed.

"What's going on?"

I asked quickly.

Chiyou Sanqian shook his head, and then told us the contents of the relief murals on the tomb wall.

It turns out that although the four walls of this tomb are full of large and small reliefs, most of them are actually repetitive.

The only ones that are really meaningful are the five pictures.

Because Chiyou Sanqian himself was a Miao person, he was still familiar with some legends of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

The first mural depicts two men drinking tea together, and then a woman puts a bug in one of the men's teacups, presumably a poisonous bug.

Afterwards, the man died suddenly.

The man who died suddenly was actually King Yan, and the other man and woman were King Jin and Princess Jin.

In other words, the evil son and mother we met just now are not Princess Yan, but Princess Jin.

The second mural depicts King Jin beating Princess Jin.

The method was so cruel that he even asked his subordinates to follow Princess Jin.

The specific reason is unknown, but what is certain is that King Jin was also a ruthless person who could not be as ruthless as King Yan.

The third mural depicts the sudden death of King Jin and the subsequent burial of Princess Jin alive by his legitimate son.

Because King Jin once coerced Princess Jin to let her go with her ministers, it is really unknown who the child is.

This resulted in Princess Jin being buried alive.

The fourth mural is about a strange thing that happened during the construction of the royal tomb.

An insect many times larger than a human attacked the ancient Dian Kingdom.

In order to save his life, the legitimate son of King Jin sacrificed his wife and this insect.

This is the origin of the cocoons we met when we first entered the ancient tomb.

The fifth mural depicts the attack of the Qin army and the killing of the big insect that was made a god by the ancient Dian Kingdom.

The ancient Dian Kingdom became a vassal city of the Qin Kingdom, and the King of Jin's legitimate son opened the city to present the state seal.

However, the national seal is painted so lifelike that it does not look like something that should be in the human world.

Later, the King of Qin gave it the name of the Great Seal of the King of Dian.

The story of the five murals ends abruptly here.

I lowered my head and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised my head and asked Gu Xinlie, "Brother Gu, do you still remember that Ma Liuzhi once told us before coming to Yunnan that he broke four fingers when he came to Yunnan tomb of King Jin in the coffin?"

.

But as far as we know, there is only the tomb of King Yan in Yunnan, I’m afraid.”

What I mean is very simple, that is, whether we will encounter empty space.

To put it bluntly, it means whether we will be deceived and pointed to the wrong path.

"It should be unlikely.

The dressing habits of the vassal kings of the ancient Dian Kingdom were very particular.

The mural shows that King Jin obviously killed King Yan to usurp the throne.

However, in the ancient Dian Kingdom, only the royal family of the King of Yan could wear saffron brocade clothes, and the royal family of the Jin Dynasty generally They are mainly gray and white, and rarely wear blue.

Moreover, it has been mentioned in ancient books more than once that King Jin was gentle and courteous, so how could he do such a thing. " "Besides, even if King Jin is really such a person, it is a taboo for the royal family to insult his wife.

How could he let her go to the king's tomb?

Furthermore, King Jin disappeared without a trace after the death of King Yan.

Is the mural on this mural true or false?

It’s hard to say, I think there must be something wrong with it.”

Gu Xinlie shook his head and raised his question.

For a moment, we were all silent.

Suddenly, the harsh sound came over again, which made my scalp tingle.

I quickly turned to look at Gu Xinlie and saw that his expression was not very good either.

Fortunately, the sound came from outside the Hades Palace.

The rice dumplings couldn't come in for a while, so we took advantage of this time to start pouring Mingqi.

We didn't have any incense this time, and we didn't follow the rules of our ancestors.

We were even more casual when handling open weapons.

We rummaged around in the coffin and took whatever we had.

We completely forgot that there were three corpses of our own people and two big rice dumplings beside us.

While I was fussing with the light instrument, I suddenly held a bead in my hand.

This bead was exactly the one that the female corpse had in her mouth.

It was just big enough to be held in one mouth.

It was cold and crystal clear.

There was a bead inside.

Golden dots, I don’t know what they are.

"Brother Gu, look what this is."

I raised the beads in my hand to show them.

"I don't know, but this bead was in the mouth of the female corpse.

As expected, it should be something that can restrain the corpse poison."

Gu Xinlie shook his head, ignored me, took out a bracelet from the coffin and stuffed it in Into the arms.

Wang Jianggan acted as if he had never seen money before.

He took whatever he saw and put on six or seven large emerald gem rings on his hands.

"I advise Mr.

Lin not to touch this thing."

Chi You Sanqian was stunned at first when he saw the thing in my hand, and then smiled.

"What is this?"

I blinked, thinking that this little girl is weird, and I can only believe her words.

If you don't tell me why, how can I let go so easily, Mr.

Lin?

"Among the hundreds of Miao poisons, the most poisonous are the rare ones such as golden silkworm poison, snake poison, plant poison, and flower-beating poison.

What you are holding in your hand, Mr.

Lin, is the golden silkworm poison."

Chi You smiled and said, Erdao.

It turns out that among all the poisons, the golden silkworm poison is the most poisonous.

It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica: "Golden silkworm Gu is the most harmful to the human body.

After it invades the human abdomen, it will eat up the human intestines and stomach.

Moreover, its resistance is extremely strong.

It cannot be killed by water, fire, or even if it is beaten hard. ” According to legend, the skin of the golden silkworm Gu is golden, and it needs to be fed four parts of angelica root every day.

The way to release the poison is to put its feces in people's food or make jade balls and hang them on people's bodies.

The ball in my hand is a form of golden silkworm Gu.

I guess the owner of the tomb is quite vicious.

If he really holds this thing as a treasure in his hand, he will be infected by the poison in less than a moment.

It is easy to test whether you have been infected by the golden silkworm poison.

Just chew black beans or chew alum.

If you feel that the unpalatable black beans are fragrant and the bitter alum is sweet, then you have been infected by the golden silkworm poison.

You will not understand it for three days.

Certain death.

According to what Chiyou Sanqian said, the ancients believed in the existence of Gu.

In history, there have been several incidents of witchcraft causing trouble in the palace.

For example, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Gongsun He's son and Princess Yangshi were framed by Zhu Anshi, accusing Gongsun He's son Gongsun Jingsheng and Princess Yangshi of having an affair, endangering Emperor Wu, and burying puppets on the road where Emperor Wu often passed as witchcraft.

As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed it to be true and executed the three people.

I didn't have time to lament that the ancient emperors treated human life as nothing, so I quickly threw the beads out.

I haven't solved the soul-possessing poison in my belly, and if another golden silkworm poison attacks me, I will really be asking for death.

After rummaging around for a while, I was disappointed that I didn't find the legendary Zhu Yancao, and there were very few artifacts in the royal tomb.

I felt something was very wrong.

Sima Qian mentioned more than once in historical records that the ancient Dian Kingdom was a country with a highly developed bronze civilization.

But why can't we find even a bronze mirror in this tomb?

If this is just a civilian tomb, it may be just like this. never mind.

But as the tomb of the most powerful royal family in the ancient Dian Kingdom, there is not even a trace of bronze artifacts, which seems a bit strange.

Suddenly, with a "sudden" sound, two of the thousand-year-old eternal lamps in the corner were extinguished in an instant, leaving only a faint blue fire floating in the mouth.

I don’t know why, but the moment the blue flame went out, I suddenly felt an inexplicable panic.

"Master Gu, Master Gu, look, there is a tomb passage there."

Wang Jiangqian suddenly shouted, which made me tremble all over.

I looked at the surprised expression on his face and looked in the direction of his finger. , I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart.

Just in the corner of the tomb, I don't know when, there was an extra tomb.

The tomb seemed to have appeared on the ground out of thin air, and it seemed to lead to the lower part of the Hades Palace.

There were several light blue flames on both sides of the tomb, flickering, like will-o'-the-wisps in the dim palace of Hades.

I swallowed and looked back at Gu Xinlie.

"Sure enough, there is a ghost."

As soon as Gu Xinlie finished speaking, another ever-burning lamp in the corner suddenly went out, and the Hades Hall, which was still somewhat bright, fell completely into darkness.

People have always had an inexplicable fear of darkness, and I was no exception.

I could even hear the continuously accelerating heartbeats of the people around me in the darkness.

It wasn't until Wang Jiangqian fumbled for the wolf-eye flashlight from his body and turned it on with a snap, that there was a glimmer of light in the dark palace.

"I don't know where this tomb leads to.

Logically speaking, the Hades Palace should be at the bottom of the tomb.

How can it go down further?"

Gu Xinlie tilted his head, looking puzzled.

It was also mentioned in the Night Talk of Hundred Ghosts that any tomb is located at the bottom of the Hades Hall, which leads to the underworld of the Ghost Mansion.

Those who are not grounded will have difficulty in reincarnation.

The meaning of this sentence is that as long as it is a tomb, the Hades Palace must be at the bottom of the tomb, which is the coffin of the tomb owner, so that it can be closest to the underworld.

If the Hades Palace of this tomb floats at the top and is not grounded If the tomb owner is angry, it will be difficult for the tomb owner to survive reincarnation, and he will inevitably turn into an evil ghost.

Just when we were at a loss as to whether we could get down from the tomb, the harsh sound came to my ears again, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

Now we are in a very awkward situation.

Because if you go to this tomb, you may encounter more dangers.

But if you just retreat to the outer palace and return to the ear room, you will inevitably encounter the big rice dumpling outside the tomb wall.

If this mother-in-law hadn't taken shape yet and I made a mistake and stuffed a black donkey's hoof in her mouth, the rest of us would have ended up here.

God knows if the big rice dumpling outside the tomb wall would be better than this one.

The fierce mother is still difficult to deal with.

"Wait a minute, Mr.

Gu, Mr.

Lin, I discovered something."

At this time, Wang Jiangqian suddenly interrupted my meditation and said.

"What's up" "I just discovered that Chiyou Sanqian's little girl is missing" Fenghuaju's first update:
