People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 346 King Xian's whimsy
"Is this the South Sea Merman?"

After seeing the whole picture of these strange corpses clearly, Ding Sitian couldn't help but speak.

For a person who studies pharmacology intensively, such legendary creatures are rare and precious materials.

The only pity is that these mermaids have been dead for some time, and they were turned into longevity candles. Presumably, the valuable parts of their bodies have already been taken away, leaving only this bluffing body.

"Merman? Isn't that what manatees were called in ancient times?" Hu Bayi looked at these black-scaled merman with some puzzlement. This was the first time he had seen this kind of creature. Pass.

"It's true that it's a mermaid, but apart from proving the real existence of this creature, it has no other value." Chen Ziyan replied softly.

The corpses of these sharks were hard and dark, and they had been specially treated, otherwise they would have rotted and disappeared long ago.

Then he adjusted the light column of the flashlight, and saw six shark corpses lined up on both sides of the copper column, all of which had been pierced through the lute bone and locked on it, making a welcoming gesture of crouching and kneeling, as if they were welcoming people gradually. General promotion.

The mouths of the sharks are all wide open, there is a white object similar to asbestos in the throat, and a piece of tinder is inserted on the dry tongue, and the slightly dim blue light comes from here.

Hu Bayi poked the mermaid at the bottom with the gun barrel, and said in amazement: "Although this thing looks quite anthropomorphic, it is not at all the same as the mermaid in the story. It is estimated that the zoo will not accept it, for fear of scaring it. For the children who went to visit, there is such a specimen in the museum, so it should be a very respectable thing."

After all, it is a species that occupies a place in Chinese and foreign legends. Even if there is only such a shriveled body left, it is not inferior to any funerary objects seen before.

"If you like it, I'll give you one when I go back and put it in your living room." Chen Ziyan joked.

Although it would definitely cause a shock if this thing was really taken out, he really didn't pay much attention to it, as long as Hu Bayi nodded, he would really dare to give it.

After all, to Chen Ziyan, if a living shark is still valuable, but such a hollowed-out dead thing is only useful for displaying in a museum.

"Forget it, I'm not blessed to enjoy this treasure! It's more suitable to send it to a museum, and it can be regarded as filling the gap in this field!" Hu Bayi quickly declined.

Although Chen Ziyan's words were very likely to be a joke, he knew that Chen Ziyan could really do such a thing, so it was better to nip it in the bud.

He has no interest in this thing at all. If he really puts such a thing at home, he will simply make himself feel uncomfortable.

After finishing speaking, in order to change the topic completely, Hu Bayi took the initiative to say: "This shark is obviously the longevity candle of the owner of the tomb. There are ordinary candlesticks in ordinary underground palaces. I didn't expect that Mr. Xian Wang could find so many candlesticks." Sharks really painstakingly make candlesticks."

Shirley Yang said: "Actually, this is not the first time this kind of mermaid has been discovered. Not to mention the mermaid bones that have been discovered in the world, just a few years ago, the US Navy once caught one in the deep sea."

After all, she graduated from the Naval Academy, and many of her classmates served there, so she knew a lot of secret information that was not known to the outside world.

Ding Sitian also nodded: "That's true, we often catch sharks in our coastal areas, but the number is extremely rare."

Since even Shirley Yang, who is outside the system, can know about it, she, a professional in this area, will naturally not lack this information.

When Hu Bayi heard the two women say this, he asked in astonishment: "Then...why haven't I heard the letter?"

He feels quite out of touch with the times now, why does he feel that everyone knows these things, but he has not heard the news.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Ziyan: "Master Chen, you also know?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen it." Chen Ziyan shook his head lightly, and then expressed his thoughts: "In fact, this kind of thing is also simple. It's not suitable for ordinary people to know about it, so it's okay to hide it." It's not something incomprehensible."

Hearing what the two women said, he felt that it would be impossible to put these merman longevity candles in the museum. This is probably a secret that ordinary people cannot know.

However, Chen Ziyan didn't care about this aspect. He didn't know how many ancient tombs and huge tombs were waiting for him to visit. It didn't matter whether there were these few sharks.

He withdrew his scattered thoughts and looked into the doorway supported by two copper pillars.

And the moment Chen Ziyan cast his gaze over, two blue flames suddenly lit up in the dark doorway again.

With the help of the blue flames, Chen Ziyan also saw what was going on inside. This was not the passage he had thought earlier, but a closed stone cave. There was a stone step about half a meter wide next to the door. There is a longevity candle on the left and right of the stone steps.

But compared to the merman longevity candles outside, the longevity candles that appeared in front of them undoubtedly made everyone feel more terrifying.

Because the raw materials of these two longevity candles are actually two fat boys aged eleven or twelve, who kneel down and bow in the same posture as the mermaids outside, but their faces are not ferocious, but they bow their heads and close their eyes in a very peaceful manner. The posture of receiving the boy.

The wicks of the two long-lived candles were placed at the navel, and a long part protruded out. It is presumed that the boy's body must be filled with lamp oil.

Seeing that children were used as raw materials, Shirley Yang sighed: "Gandhi of India once pointed out the seven deadly sins that destroy mankind, two of which are: science without humanity; politics without morality. These children may not even have the world. Without a clear understanding, you just became a victim of the ancient ruler's imagining of immortality."

Chen Ziyan glanced at the two guide boys, and said softly: "It was common to bury boys and girls before the Ming Dynasty, but as people's knowledge of the world increased, this inhumane system gradually disappeared by itself. gone."

Although he, who comes from the era of information explosion, is very clear that even decades later, the inferiority of human beings has not abated in the slightest, but there is no need to say these things at this time.

Then Chen Ziyan shone the flashlight on the bronze medal in the boy's hand, and said, "It says 'receiving the immortals and leading the saints'. Obviously, as in the legend, the function of this boy is to welcome guests for the King Xian." lead the way."

Then he looked at the stone platform above. There was no light on the stone platform, but there was also a copper lamp. It was a pure black copper lamp about ten times larger than the guide boy, and it almost occupied the stone platform. most of the area.

This copper lamp is cast in the shape of a cow's head, which looks vigorous and simple, with a unique charm that originated from the wild.

It's just that the wick inside was too heavy and fell to the ground at some point, so it didn't light up because the tomb entered the air like the merman and the guide boy.

"The merman in front and the guide boy have their own opinions, but what's the matter with this giant ox head?" Hu Bayi looked at the giant ox head lantern with a frown and asked in puzzlement.

Although he knew for a long time that the Xuan Palace built by King Xian would not completely follow the tomb system, and he had his own ideas in it, but he was still very surprised by the abrupt ox head lantern.

Chen Ziyan did not respond immediately, but was also thinking about this question.

Although he knew about the existence of this giant ox head lamp, he really didn't know its origin and function.

Looking at the receiving boy inadvertently, Chen Ziyan seemed to have thought of something, and asked quickly: "Old Hu, can you tell the direction now?"

Because of the chaotic magnetic field here, the compass and other things in their hands had already lost their accuracy. In addition, they kept going in and out of the ground all the way, so Chen Ziyan had no sense of direction now.

Hearing Chen Ziyan's question, although Hu Bayi was a little puzzled, he still nodded: "Yes."

It's not that he can tell the direction on the spot here, but he has always paid attention to this, so even if the magnetic field is chaotic, he can still tell the north, the south, and the east.

After getting this answer, Chen Ziyan pointed to the Niu Shou Deng in front of him and asked, "Which direction is this?"

"Dong!" Hu Bayi immediately gave the answer.

Hearing the same answer as he imagined, Chen Ziyan twitched his lips slightly, and said, "I think, I already know the purpose of this cow head lamp."

When the others heard this, they all looked at Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan didn't try to show off anything, and slowly expressed his guess: "I think this should be an entrance, a special entrance."

"We all know that King Xian is determined to prove the Dao and become an immortal. The murals in the Minglou above can also prove this point. Do you remember the old man on the murals?"

"Old man?" Hu Bayi's mind turned quickly, and immediately said after hearing the words: "Master Chen, what do you mean?"

He probably understood Chen Ziyan's words, but he couldn't believe it. If this was the case, then King Xian's heart would be too big.

Chen Ziyan nodded at him: "As you thought, King Xian felt that he would become the king of all immortals after death, so he needs someone to respectfully invite him to ascend to heaven, regardless of whether it is the bull head lantern or the boy who receives and guides him. King Xian prepared for this."

"Hey! This grandson really dares to think!" Hu Bayi couldn't help baring his teeth.

Even if he is a modern person, he was also overwhelmed by King Xian's whimsy.

Shirley Yang, who was listening beside her, was confused and couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about?"

Ding Sitian also didn't understand clearly, and urged: "Yes, can you make it clearer?"

Chen Ziyan glanced at the Niu Shou Deng again, and then explained in detail: "There is a word called Ziqi Donglai, I think you should have heard of it, it is said that the mount of the Taoist father is a green bull, and this giant Niu Shou Deng with its back facing east and west is exactly the posture of visiting, I don’t think I need to say more about the rest.”

After all, Shirley Yang grew up in a foreign country, and she believed in the religion there, so her reaction to these things was a bit slow.

But Ding Sitian understood Chen Ziyan's meaning at the first time, and finally understood why he and Hu Bayi reacted in that way. They were really right, the idea of ​​Xian Wang is simply whimsical.

Although Xue Liyang was a bit slower, she quickly understood the joints and said, "This is really a bold idea, but it's not an exaggeration when you think about it. After all, King Xian's position for himself is the emperor of heaven."

Chen Ziyan nodded, "Yes, I'm not that surprised after thinking about the content of the mural."

"This is really how bold people are and how productive the land is." Hu Bayi said slightly mockingly.

stab, stab-

And at this moment, ear-piercing scratching sounds suddenly came from the bronze coffin behind them.

This made several people vigilant in an instant, and they didn't care about thinking about the giant ox head lamp, they all turned around quickly and looked at the bronze coffin.

Chen Ziyan clearly saw that the bronze outer coffin started to shake slightly at this moment, obviously the things inside had woken up.

But he wasn't overly worried, because he knew that as long as the ancient legalist mirror was still there, the contents of the bronze coffin would not be able to turn the sky around, and it was probably the limit to be able to do this.

Hu Bayi didn't have Chen Ziyan's confidence, so he quickly asked, "Master Chen, what should we do now?"

Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said: "We have also seen this tomb, there should be no other exits, so we have to stay here for a while, just in case, let's wake up the fat man first."

He knew that it would not be so easy in the future, so he planned to wake up Wang Kaixuan, so that the team's combat effectiveness could be fully displayed.

Hu Bayi hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Although he also thinks that Wang Kaixuan will have more benefits, he also knows that now it is no better than before. Looking at the situation in this tomb, you can see that it is a cellar coffin and a bronze coffin, and even the stone coffin may not be good. Something with it.

It's okay if there is no accident, but once there is a change, Wang Kaixuan's state is no longer a burden. Maybe this guy is here because of an accident.

Hu Bayi was not a moji person either, so he did what he said, and immediately took Wang Kaixuan back to the tomb. After finding a remote corner, he lifted Wang Kaixuan's mask.

At this time, Wang Kaixuan still had a black donkey's hoof stuffed in his mouth. Thanks to the space and good elasticity of the protective clothing, otherwise such a black donkey's hoof would not fit at all.

Glancing at Wang Kaixuan, who was dazed and dull-eyed, Chen Ziyan looked at Ding Sitian beside him: "Sitian, I'll pull out the black donkey's hoof later, and you'll do it immediately!"

After seeing Ding Sitian's head, Hu Bayi took a deep breath, then pinched Wang Kaixuan's jaw with one hand to prevent him from shutting up, and with the other hand pulled out the black donkey's hoof like lightning .

And the moment Hu Bayi pulled the black donkey's hoof away, Wang Kaixuan immediately heard a female howl, and the confusion in his eyes also began to turn crazy.

But before he could make a move, Ding Sitian, who was already prepared, had already swung the knife in his hand.

There was a flash of cold light under the light, and the sharp howling stopped suddenly, and then a blood line followed the sharp blade and splashed out from Wang Kaixuan's mouth, and the sarcoma like a human head was in it.
