Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chapter 136 The Black Scaled Shark’s Ten Thousand Years of Trees

"Black-scaled shark?!"

Partridge Whistle once went to the coast of the East China Sea to look for the ruins of Dongmeng.

Because the Red Eyebrow Army was in trouble that year, the jade beads hidden in Maoling disappeared. He rummaged through ancient and historical books and found out that after the Red Eyebrow Army left Chang'an, they split into two groups.

One branch went south to Luoning, and the other branch went to the East China Sea.

That is the legendary Ruins of Dongmeng.

Trying to travel to overseas fairy mountains.

He searched for several years along the coast of the East China Sea.

Although no trace of the Muchen Bead was found, he saw countless bizarre things in the deep sea that ordinary people could not imagine.

There are deep-sea shark beads, weeping bead mermaids, two-headed giant turtles, whales as big as ancient ships, eight-clawed cuttlefish, and treasure hunters with blue heads who salvage sunken ships.

As well as overseas fairy mountains passed down from ancient times.

Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou Island.

After several years of walking, Partridge Whistle's horizons have been greatly broadened.

It was precisely because of that experience that when he saw the strange face covered with scales and sharp teeth reflected in the firelight, he was able to tell the truth.

"good."

Recognize him.

Chen Yulou was not surprised.

He just nodded in a low tone.

As the two of them were talking, they seemed to be drawn by the light and fire in the wind lantern. The shark's open mouth suddenly burst into flames, and a wisp of flame ignited out of thin air.

The color is bluish green.

It's obviously fire.

But it gives people an indescribable deep chill.

slam-la-

As a flame lit up.

In the darkness on both sides of the stone gate, one after another, like bean sprouts, will-o'-the-wisps slowly ignited.

There are six lights in total.

Look through the wind lantern.

There is a row of copper pillars embedded in the stone wall. The black-scaled sharks, who are half human and half fish, are chained through the bones of the lute, half kneeling on the ground, their eyes blank.

Each of them opened their mouths wide, and behind their fangs as sharp as saws, you could faintly see an asbestos-like wick planted in their abdomen and hidden behind their tongues.

The gloomy will-o'-the-wisp is burning in their mouths.

See this scene.

Even though Chen Yulou had expected it, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, some people went deep into the seabed to hunt and kill sharks. After killing and drying them in the shade, they used their oil to make candles. One drop can burn for ten and a half days.

Known as the Everlasting Light.

One is worth three thousand gold beads.

Those who are not emperors and nobles cannot afford it.

At the same time, because of this characteristic, almost all the overseas sharks were hunted down in less than a thousand years.

only……

Even if it is used to make ten thousand year candles or everlasting lamps, fat is mostly melted into lamp oil.

But here, the shark's body is used directly as the lamp.

Although as long as the body remains alive, the lights will always be on, but who will be like Xian Wang?

Still bent on seeking immortality!

After exhaling, Chen Yulou put away his thoughts, pulled out the bone knife with his backhand, and gently touched the shark corpse with the back of the knife. Suddenly, there was a sound of gold and stone colliding.

Thousands of years passed.

The six shark corpses showed no signs of decay.

If there were no mercury spots on the body, he would have suspected whether it had been dipped in mercury.

These sharks were both male and female. Their upper bodies had obvious human characteristics, but from the waist and abdomen downwards, they had long fins and their bodies were covered with black scales.

It's like being wrapped in a layer of fish scales.

A strange light refracted under the lamplight.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The sharks seem to have become extinct.

But if I remember correctly, there is still a group of sharks living in the deep sea of ​​Guixu, South China Sea.

As a devil in the sea.

The black-scaled sharks are extremely ferocious. Even if it is a Basilosaurus whale, once it breaks into the coral cave, it will be surrounded and killed, and its flesh and blood will be eaten away, leaving only a skeleton.

And their only weakness.

It is the lunar eclipse fetus.

If you go to the Land of Guixu, you can try to catch a few. The Dan people also need a sea penetration formation, but they are natural underwater monsters.

"No, Brother Chen, the Ever-Bright Lamp is also called the Rebirth Candle. It is used to guide the souls of the dead back to the earth to live a new life. There are six lamps here... but there are only three coffins."

Chen Yulou was still looking at the sharks.

I was thinking wildly in my mind, and suddenly there was a doubt in my ears.

The partridge whistle held the wind lantern and looked around, even behind the gate, but except for the three demon coffins, there were no other corpses here.

This number obviously does not correspond.

Even including the burial for the king, there are only five bodies.

Still not right!

"Six lights?"

Chen Yulou came back to his senses, pointed to the depths of the coffin, and smiled with cold eyes.

"what?"

There was something wrong in his tone.

Partridge Whistle seemed to have thought of something, and turned around suddenly. Only then did he realize that... three more will-o'-the-wisps appeared out of nowhere behind the array of three coffins with a chaotic pattern.

Plus these six in front of me.

That is the Nine Paths.

This means that there are at least nine corpses buried in Xuan Palace.

How can this be?

Thinking of this, Partridge Whistle's mind instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. The six corpses were beyond his expectation. There was no reason to bury nine corpses in a mysterious palace.

You must know that there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed.

What's more, a tomb?

Three demon coffins and three hell shadow bones were buried, which is barely fair.

But what about the other bodies?

At this moment, even though he was well-informed and had extraordinary vision, he couldn't help but feel confused.

The afterlife candle is made in ancient times and should not be wrong.

Therefore, there is only one possibility. King Xian's behavior is indeed different from ordinary people.

"Brother Dao, would you like to take a look?"

Ignoring the six shark corpses, Chen Yulou strolled through the tomb.

Just the shadow bone tomb chamber is so weird and complicated. You can imagine how amazing the heavenly gates, the shrimp tail and the crab body must be.

"it is good."

Partridge Whistle didn’t dare to think too much at this moment.

Especially the six shark corpses, staring straight at them with their empty, lifeless eyes.

There is always a feeling of being peeping in the dark.

Chilling.

Quickly following up, the copper coffin was opened, and the air was still filled with a lingering rotten smell. As for the side, Partridge Whistle subconsciously swept away it with a lamp.

Just one glance.

He was a little unable to walk.

Looking at the shape, the first one is a wooden coffin, with a coffin but no coffin.

According to the Zhou system of burial scriptures.

The emperor has five coffins and two coffins, the first coffin is a coffin covered with silk skin, the second coffin is made of basswood as the ground, the third coffin is called a casket, the fourth coffin is a small coffin, and the fifth coffin is a large coffin covered with two coffins.

The princes have four coffins and one coffin, the officials have two coffins and one coffin, and the scholars have one coffin and one coffin.

White poor people are buried with only coffins.

So after looking at it from a distance before, he didn't think much about it. After all, the three demon coffins, bronze and stone, are each more amazing than the other, and this wooden coffin is the least conspicuous one.

But at this moment, through a layer of wind lamp leather paper and in the flickering firelight, he could clearly see that under the accumulated dust, the coffin was like charcoal, and the wood was even more dense and tough.

It was as if it had been burned in a fire.

"The coffin!"

Partridge whistled and recognized him immediately.

This kind of wood is clearly the legendary cassia wood.

It is said that only in the land of eternal night where the sun does not shine can the cassia tree grow. It takes tens to hundreds of years to add a ring of growth rings. If you want to grow into a towering tree, it will not take thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

In addition, the cellar wood can isolate insects and mice and is not corroded by water vapor.

Therefore, it has been respected by emperors since ancient times.

only……

This wood is extremely rare.

Let alone making a coffin, even making a wooden seal is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In desperation, we can only choose golden nanmu.

There is even a saying that one gram of golden nanmu has one tael of gold.

The cassia tree is a priceless treasure.

At least since Partridge Whistle Fighting for so long, I have only heard of its name, but never seen the real thing.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about the ghost lights and lamps, and carefully wiped off the thick layer of dust on the coffin.

In an instant, a black gold light floated.

Under the charcoal wood grain, circles of growth rings are clearly visible.

Partridge Whistle specially counted it, a total of one hundred and thirty-six times, which means that the wood used to build this cellar coffin is at least thousands of years old.

The most amazing thing is.

The coffin is completely integrated, with no wood edges at all. It is carved from letters in the middle.

As the old saying goes, if a cellar is broken, it will take eight inches of wood.

If it hadn't taken tens of thousands of years, it would never have grown to this extent.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of person it would be to be buried in the coffin of a thousand-year-old man.

Another point.

Since King Xian put it here.

It must be clear that the value of the cellar coffin is high.

He didn't even occupy the magpie's nest.

Judging from this, it seems that King Xian was not a moral gentleman. In order to build the Tiangong Tomb, he killed many people and flowed blood into rivers. There were more than ten thousand people buried with him?

If you think so.

Then there is only one possibility.

The coffin he prepared for himself was even better than the cellar coffin.

only……

Partridge Whistle really can't think of any better material in the world than vine wood.

Could it be that King Xian really ascended to the sky on a dragon and became an immortal, and the Xuan Palace here is just his tomb?

That's why he couldn't even look at the coffin.

"The wood is indeed a good thing."

Just as he was in a daze.

Chen Yulou, who walked around from the other side of the sarcophagus, fell on the wood grains shaped like black gold and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Chen also recognized it."

Partridge Whistle took a deep breath, his face still filled with surprise.

The world's divine objects and spiritual trees are as vast as the sea, but even if he has been walking around the world all his life, it is difficult to see even a ten thousandth of them.

"The sunken coffin, the bronze coffin, don't get close to it if it's not hard."

"Chen has heard of these formulas of the Touching Gold Sect."

Chen Yulou smiled.

However, another thought came to mind.

When it comes to the spiritual beings of heaven and earth in King Xian's tomb, naturally it has to be the Ten Thousand Years Tai Sui plant. The second one is the fleshy root plant in the back mountain that is about to become a spirit. Both of them are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As early as before I planned to come to Zhelong Mountain.

He then thought about practicing Qingmu Gong with two large herbs.

This cellar coffin has never given any thought to it.

But the spiritual energy contained in the ten thousand-year-old vegetation cannot be measured in words at all.

Subconsciously.

Chen Yulou stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the coffin body.

Green light floated in the palm of my hand.

Quietly activating the Aoki Kung Fu, his spiritual consciousness traveled along the tree like lightning.

"pity……"

Not long after.

He retracted his hand and patted it to disperse the contaminated dust, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

Thousand-year-old trees are indeed rare to see.

Unfortunately, it took too long to be cut down and made into a coffin, and it was left lying in the dark Xuan Palace, and its spiritual energy was invisibly consumed.

"Using the cassia wood as a coffin, I don't know what kind of demon corpse this shadowy skeleton must be."

Partridge Whistle didn't notice anything strange.

He just stared at the coffin and said with twinkling eyes.

"Who knows, maybe it's an empty coffin..."

Chen Yulou shrugged and smiled meaningfully.

The bronze coffin was used to bury demons, the cellar coffin was used to bury ghosts, and the stone coffin was used to bury a ghostly stone spirit.

Ghosts are invisible and hard to see by ordinary people.

He said it might be an empty coffin, but that was not nonsense.

"Empty coffin?!"

Partridge Whistle raised his eyebrows, obviously in disbelief.

but.

Chen Yulou had no intention of explaining anything.

Holding the wind lantern, he pointed at the three will-o'-the-wisps not far away.

Don't know why.

Compared with the six shark corpse immortal lamps behind him.

The three rays of light fluctuated in brightness and darkness, as if someone was hiding in the dark night and blowing a breath of air-conditioning from time to time.

Make it look more eerie and terrifying.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle immediately understood and without further delay, he pressed the keel of the mirror umbrella with his backhand and went straight around the cellar coffin.

The two of them quickly approached each other, one from the left and the other from the right.

In the tomb at this moment, there was no sound of the demon corpse scratching across the copper coffin, but it also fell into a deathly silence.

Except for the slight footsteps of the two people.

There was only the sound of the wind as the wind lantern cut through the fog.

Not long after.

In the light of two wind lanterns on the left and right.

Rays of patina-green light emerged. They were three...no, four copper pillars lined up.

The middle one is as tall as several people and has a strange shape, like a bull's head.

Partridge Whistle couldn't figure it out, and his eyes subconsciously moved towards the remaining three copper pillars.

I thought it was three more shark corpses.

But as the three will-o'-wisps brightened, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Three faces with their heads lowered and eyes closed, with peaceful expressions, as if they were just sleeping children, emerged one by one in the halo.

"Human figurines?!"

　It's two or three days since the end of the month. Please give me a monthly ticket for 2,000 tickets! ! !
