The sudden firelight startled me, and my heart skipped a beat.
When I turned my head to look, I didn't know when the candles on both sides of the tomb passage suddenly lit up, as if it was because I came in.
And when I walked into the Hades Hall, the flames in the tomb passage were extinguished inexplicably.
The lights in the Hades Palace were brightly lit.
I didn't expect it to be so bright, so I looked around carefully.
When I saw the four corners of the Hades Palace, I was so shocked that my eyes almost popped out.
There was actually a huge bronze figure over four meters high erected at each corner of the Hades Palace, holding a shield and a spear, a scepter and a token, two snakes and two axes, all made of bronze.
In the middle of the Hades Palace, there were simply three coffins placed.
This coffin was also a bronze coffin.
I swallowed.
Qingtong coffin, purple heart coffin, it is better to listen to ghosts cry than to laugh.
This bronze coffin has always been something that people who touch coffins do not want to see.
I had just walked across the stone bridge of strange beasts and arrived at the Hades Palace.
I saw this coffin, but I happened to stumble upon this bronze coffin.
It’s not that I have never seen such a burial method, but this was the first time I went to the grave to encounter such a thing.
It really caught me off guard.
It felt like a tiger biting a hedgehog.
I really didn’t know where to start.
Furthermore, I don’t know whether my life is tough enough.
When I was at Tiantai Temple, Zen Master Farang once said that my life was worth seven taels, but someone was trying to suppress my life.
My facial features are not that good, and I have a face that is easy for ghosts to encounter.
I looked at the three Qingtong coffins in front of me, licked my lips, and felt a little embarrassed.
This Hades Hall is just as I guessed.
It is a very vast Hades Hall.
The surrounding walls are also carved with exquisite murals.
There are countless gold and silver jewels wrapped around the feet of the bronze figure.
And at the corner of the tomb passage and the Hades Hall, there are also piles of various bronze sacrificial vessels, copper plates, and bronze tripods.
Seeing these things, I have a clear idea of the origin of the tomb owner.
It must be the monarch.
I never imagined that there would be so many funerary objects in the tomb of a vassal king.
Presumably, these funerary objects were treasures collected by him during his lifetime.
As expected, he piled in everything that was valuable, quite like a nouveau riche.
This is about thick burials.
The style of thick burials was at its peak during the Han Dynasty.
Legend has it that during this period, the burial objects in some imperial mausoleums exceeded thousands of tons, even more than the treasures in the national treasury, enough to support a living.
All the people in the world live for half a year.
But King Zhuang is just a small vassal king, who can be said to be the master of a country.
As far as I know, these things are almost equivalent to decades of tax revenue from the ancient Dian Kingdom, which is really too much.
I sighed and thought to myself, in ancient China, the emperor was indeed like a dragon, and his subjects were like grass.
I don’t know how many people died to build this ancient tomb, and these good things were wasted in vain.
The country is poor, and it is because of the king.
What a luxury.
I didn't continue to think about this issue for too long, but I circled around the three coffins and scanned them carefully.
The three coffins were all made of bronze.
There was something supporting the bottom of the middle coffin, which was much higher than the other two coffins.

Almost five centimeters.
The other two were laid flat on the ground, and there was nothing fancy about the coffins.
I took a closer look and saw that the bronze coffin was completely dull and covered with a thick layer of dust.
I covered my nose and blew a layer of dust away from the bronze coffin.
I coughed a few times, and the coffin instantly changed from the misty color to a strange blue-gray color.
Because it was so long ago, a lot of green copper flowers had grown on the bronze coffin.
I took a cold look.
The coffin was also covered with something similar to an insurance film, sealing the entire coffin airtight.
There are no patterns on the coffin, only some exotic animals and flowers are carved on it, but they are all obscured by the copper flowers and cannot be seen clearly.
It seems that the coffin is placed in this coffin.
This so-called Qingtong coffin, purple heart coffin, purple heart coffin refers to the coffin made of purple heart wood.
But in addition to purple heart wood, there is another type of coffin that is suitable for matching with Qingtong coffin, and that is the legendary apricot coffin.
Usually in the ravines of deep mountains and old forests, places where the sun never shines.
There is a strange tree.
This kind of tree has never seen sunlight since it grew, and it does not live on sunlight.
However, its roots are firmly rooted in the ground, and the shortest one is several hundred meters away.
This is called the apricot tree.
The name is a bit confusing, but this kind of wood is born with an apricot fragrance, so it is called apricot coffin.
Apricot wood is extremely difficult to grow into wood.
The average coffin board that can be made into a coffin must be nine inches and eighty cents thick, which is barely enough.
No other materials can be added.
Adding any other materials will destroy the properties of the wood.
According to the current market, it is much more expensive than gold.
I once saw a wealthy businessman once offer a thousand kilograms of gold to buy an apricot coffin.
How much does that cost for a thousand kilograms of gold?
There is a saying that goes well: sandalwood, cypress, and cypress are yellow, and cattails are white.
They are talking about eight kinds of trees.
These eight kinds of trees are also the most suitable for making coffins.
The heart of the tree must be used, and the nine-inch and eight-inch boards are not ten thousand years old.
No wood required.
I think that even the Empress Dowager Cixi and Lafayette were not treated like this, because this tree had become extinct as early as the Han Dynasty.
Later generations also tried to cultivate it artificially, but all failed without exception.
The raised bronze coffin in the middle is very special.
It should be the tomb of King Dianzhuang.
But I was really confused about the two coffins next to them.
Originally, I thought they might be King Yan and King Jin.
But since ancient times, even if they are buried together, they cannot be buried next to each other.
This is detrimental to feng shui.
Could it be the two concubines of King Zhuang or the baby who died in infancy?
I thought in my mind, but then I shook my head.
Bronze coffins are not a good thing.
Generally, people who are seriously ill or who are transformed into corpses before entering the customs are buried in bronze coffins.
The strange animals, flowers and plants carved on this bronze coffin are also tools to ward off evil spirits.
I glanced at the coffins next to me, and suddenly discovered something strange.
It turned out that the coffin on the left had a square stone pressed on it.

I was a little suspicious about what was going on, so I looked around the coffin carefully.
I saw that there was a circle of iron rings wrapped around the side of the bronze coffin.
They were dug into the coffin one after another.
The iron rings were still carved into the shapes of strange animals, neither dragons nor tigers.
It was extremely weird.
I once heard about something on the rooftop.
It was said by an old folk collector.
He was talking about this kind of bronze coffin inlaid with iron rings.
It is said that coffins like this have been excavated twice in western Hunan.
Each coffin was inlaid with an iron ring, and there was also a stone placed on top of the coffin.
However, the stone was a giant dragon, and it is said that it looked very similar to the one on the painting.
I looked at the coffin carefully.
The bronze coffin was half smaller than the one in the middle, probably to highlight the nobility of the coffin in the middle.
But then I thought about it.
During the Warring States Period, seven kingdoms ruled the roost and a hundred schools of thought contended.
Many soldiers who died on the battlefield or some nobles who were assassinated were buried in different ways, such as being buried with limbs, buried in pieces, buried in a curled up position, buried prone, buried squatting, buried lying down, etc.
The ways of death are different.
The methods of burying corpses are naturally different, but the whole body must be buried.
This is a tradition that has been left since Emperor Yan and Huang.
Is this also a crouching burial?
I frowned and took a breath.
This bronze coffin is different from ordinary coffins.
Generally speaking, nobles with corpse transformation before burial will have their bones broken into pieces before being buried, but since this coffin With this appearance, the status of the person inside the coffin must be quite high.
"But what do these three coffins mean?"
Just as I was thinking hard, a voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Three people, three lives."
As soon as I heard this, I was startled in my mind, and suddenly I remembered a burial method mentioned in the Night Talk of Hundred Ghosts, called Sansheng Coffin.
That is, before death, a person, according to his own ideas, goes to the cemetery of his previous life and his previous life, then digs out the other person's coffin and buries it in his own tomb.
He wants to eliminate the cause and effect and become an immortal.
Of course, , the past life and the past life are all based on this person’s own conjecture.
Chinese Taoists have always said that immortality transforms into three lives, and one Qi transforms into three pure beings.
The first three lives are called the three hells, and the final death will be extremely miserable.
Buddhism even has the theory of cause and effect in three lives, and Confucianism has also mentioned the argument of the Pillow Book of Three Lives and Three Lives.
Presumably, King Zhuang wanted to understand cause and effect and turn corpses into immortals, but this was really ridiculous, but it also solved some of the mysteries in my mind.
But at this moment, I remembered that I had just been paying attention to these three coffins.
Who was the speaker?
I turned around sharply and saw three figures behind me.
When I took a closer look, I almost cried with excitement. come out.
"Master Lin, I thought you were really dead," Wang Jianggan said, rushing over and hugging me hard.
"You were very manly just now."
Gu Xinlie hugged his arms and nodded towards me, with a warm expression on his face.
"It's great that you're still alive."
Chiyou Sanqian, this little girl, wiped the corners of her eyes.
I was a little excited, but when I saw the three people standing in front of me safely, I couldn't help but laugh.
"All alive, all alive."

A few people talked briefly.
It turned out that they had been staying in the stone room for a long time.
They waited until all the evil people outside had dispersed before they came out.
As a result, they followed the path I took.
Found me.
I looked at Gu Xinlie and saw that he was shirtless, so I smiled and said, "Brother Gu, although you have a good figure, there are still lesbians here, so don't act like a hooligan."
"My clothes were torn by the rice dumplings when I was fighting with them in the stone chamber."
Gu Xinlie still hugged his arms, his expression did not change, he just stared at the three coffins on the ground.
I wanted to tell him what I had discovered, but suddenly I saw Wang Jianggan gesture to us, and then said: "Listen carefully, is there any sound in the bronze coffin?"
