Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 295

A group of people walked through a short corridor and came to the more gloomy and dark back palace hall. Looking at the inscriptions in the corridor, this second half is called "Shangzhen Hall". There are many inscriptions in the hall, and there are eight separate mural walls.

Although the hall is deep, it still looks a little cramped due to the many stone steles and painted walls. However, the layout is quite reasonable. The eight mural walls are arranged in the shape of Jiugong and Eight Diagrams. Each wall is made of large bricks with a white background. Add three colors to paint.

Except for some murals that reflect war scenes, there are almost one brick and one painting, or one or two figures, or two or three animals, buildings, and equipment, covering the politics, economy, culture, diplomacy, and military affairs of ancient Dian Kingdom during the Xianwang period. , religion, ethnicity, etc.

These may be priceless treasures for archaeologists, but they are of no use to those like Chen Yulou who are scrambling for money. They only hope to find some information about the situation of the King Xian's tomb.

There are no less than thousands of frames on these eight mural walls, combined with the stone 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 was with Yelang Kingdom. Both Yelang and Dian Kingdom were regarded as barbarians in the Southwest during the Han Dynasty.

Although Yelang Kingdom is an independent country, its land area is small, its people are few, and its products are even more pitifully scarce.

But because Yelang is the largest neighboring region, the king of Yelang, who never left the country, thought that the country he ruled was the largest in the world.

When the envoys of the Han Dynasty came, he asked the envoys of the Han Dynasty triumphantly, which one was bigger between the Han Dynasty and the Yelang Kingdom.

The envoy of the Han Dynasty almost pissed at that time. Nima, a country that is not as big as a county as big as a big Han, actually asked him which is bigger?
Since then, there has been an additional idiom in Huaxia's idiom library - Yelang is arrogant.

The second war recorded in the murals was the massacre of local barbarians at the foot of Zhelong Mountain after King Xian broke away from the ruling system of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

These two wars were complete victories, killing the enemy heavily, capturing a large number of prisoners of war, and seizing a lot of supplies.

The two opponents at that time were still in the late stage of slavery, their production methods were extremely backward and primitive, and their bronze smelting technology was far inferior to that of the ancient Dian Kingdom, which had inherited the methods of the Qin people.

There were a large number of slaves among the prisoners of these wars, and these prisoners of war and slaves became the main force in the construction of the tomb of the king in the future. Naturally, these achievements are exaggerated in murals and inscriptions.

Beside the corner of the large mural in the middle, there are two small paintings, both of which are scenes of offering sacrifices when the king ascended to heaven. The bronze tripod was filled with corpses and burned. The situation is appalling.

However, the murals still do not have any description of the underground palace where the tomb of the king is presented. One wall is full of ceremonial paintings, including activities such as inviting angels, divination, and witchcraft. The scene is extremely strange.

Seeing that the apse was full of these things, Mr. Luo was suddenly bored, and led the guards to wander around inside. Suddenly, he found something in the middle surrounded by the mural wall, and hurriedly greeted Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng.

It turned out that on the ground in the middle of the hall, there stood a big six-legged bronze tripod, covered with a copper lid, with a huge copper ring on each side.

The six legs of the bronze tripod are six half-kneeling mythical beasts, with a vigorous and simple shape, with knotted muscles and scales all over the body, making a roaring appearance. From the shape, it is very similar to a unicorn.

This copper tripod was surprisingly large, and for some reason, it was painted in a completely black color without any pattern decoration.

Chen Yulou saw the mural of cooking corpses to sacrifice to heaven just now, and said immediately: "This is probably the big cauldron that is going to cook corpses in the ceremony. The mouth of the cauldron is still sealed, which means that King Xian didn't decompose corpses and transform immortals. His The bones are still in the coffin of the underground palace, otherwise there would be no need to seal this giant cauldron."

Luo Changfeng echoed: "I'm always right. If I'm not wrong, there must be corpses sealed in wax in the cauldron at this time. We'd 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 the top cover, which will be triggered when the lid is moved. These six beast statues will definitely breathe out flames and burn the tripod into one Big fireball."

"The main body of Lingyun Tiangong is a structure of nanmu and bricks, which is very dry. Once it is burned, I am afraid that this Tiangong will become a fire palace."

Hearing the words, Chen Yulou went to the roof and sniffed, confirming Luo Changfeng's words: "It does smell of fire, this copper tripod must not be touched."

Luo Changfeng knew that there were two things that could not be touched in this Minglou. One was the bronze tripod, and the other was the largest wall in the middle among those 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 animal heads and the red jade dragon will come out and spit mercury, flooding the palace.

As long as these two things are not moved, the palace is safe, no matter how much they toss about, there will be no problems.

Hearing what Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng said, Luo Laowai immediately lost interest in the bronze tripod, and said impatiently: "I don't think there are any artifacts in this Minglou, although those bronze statues and red jade dragons are valuable , Unfortunately, it's too big and heavy, we can't get rid of it at all."

"It's better to go out quickly, and wait for Brother Partridge Whistle to use the method of 'dividing gold and fixing points' to determine the location of the underground palace. Let's..."

"Giggle...hehehe..."

Before Luo Laowai finished his sentence, a strange laughter suddenly sounded. It was a woman's voice, but her treacherous and cold laughter was absolutely malicious. The laughter was as cold as ice, as if it could freeze people's hearts.

Everyone trembled at the time, and then they all looked at the only two women on the scene, the red girl and the flower spirit.

Chen Yulou said angrily: "Which of you are laughing nonsense? It's creepy."

At this time, the two girls also felt chills in their hearts, Hua Ling tremblingly said: "No...it's not us, we didn't laugh."

After hearing Hua Ling's words, everyone's heart became colder. No matter the swordsman or the soldiers of the guards, they all gathered beside Chen Yulou and the others, looking around in surprise, the beams of searchlights and headlights flickered randomly.

The partridge murmured in its whistle: "Send the seal of the mound, touch the golden talisman, protect the body but not the ghost and blow the lamp, the cellar coffin, the bronze coffin, don't come near if the character is not hard, the vertical burial pit, the box tomb, move around the mountains and unload the mountains." Going forward, naked clothes are fierce, smiling corpses, ghosts laughing is better than hearing ghosts cry."

Chen Yulou obviously understood the few words that Partridge Whistle uttered, and even he, who had never believed them before, felt apprehensive and subconsciously looked at Luo Changfeng.

Seeing that his ears were trembling slightly, Chen Yulou couldn't help being slightly startled. Is he... just listening to the sound to identify his position?

I don't know why, seeing Luo Changfeng didn't panic in the slightest, but had a slightly solemn expression, and my heart inexplicably settled down.

The few words that Partridge Whistle just said were about several things more terrifying than Zongzi Zombies.

The last sentence means that when you are fighting for gold, if you encounter a dead body wearing bright red mourning clothes without variegation, or a dead person with a smile on his face, it is a bad omen, and those who are not hard enough will not see the light of day again.

Ghost cries can be heard in many places. Some people will mistake wolf howls for ghost cries, and sometimes the wind will make ghost cries. It doesn't matter.

Even if it is really a ghost crying, most of the crying ghosts are lonely ghosts, and they are not very harmful. The black donkey's hoof and the golden touch talisman are enough to ward off evil spirits and protect the body.

What I am most afraid of is hearing ghosts laughing in the cemetery. There are many factors that can cause ghosts to cry, but none of those factors can cause laughter. Only ghosts can laugh.

That's why it is said that laughing at ghosts is better than listening to ghosts cry.
