Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1554 The Truth
【Thanks: Vicente Zeng Wanshou】

After the sarcophagus was opened, a piece of plain white glistened, as crystal clear as spring white snow, but there was no shining treasure, but a strange fragrance wafted into the nostrils.

When I looked carefully, I found that the bottom of the coffin was covered with a plain white robe.

I don't know what material the robe is made of, it's so white that I can't speak, it seems that the cleanest and most holy things in this world are all condensed on this robe.

And on top of the plain white robe was a letter.

It was a letter with double carp common in the Tang Dynasty.

The Chinese have attached great importance to ethics since ancient times, and the paper industry has a long history. Letters between people must be wrapped on the outside of the letter to show respect.

During the Han Dynasty, a deck carved with double carps was used as a package, with paper sandwiched in the middle to deliver letters.

Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been special envelopes. After historical precipitation, the envelopes have been improved to be made of thick cocoons. However, because of the allusions of the Han Dynasty and the continuation of history, carp patterns are still painted on both sides of the envelopes to show respect.

I saw that the letter was neatly packaged, and the double carps were clearly defined. It was obviously from the official mail of the Tang Dynasty, but there was no name on it.

Chen Zhi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took out the envelope...

For some unknown reason, this letter from more than 1300 years ago is as brand new as if it had just been sent.

But this letter has obviously been opened, and the opening is very neat. It can be seen that when opening this letter, it was very careful.

Chen Zhi pressed the two sides lightly, the middle of the envelope bulged, and then poured out the letter paper inside.

It was a piece of old Tang paper that was very common at that time, with a delicate yellow color, which was very suitable for writing small seal characters.

After Chen Zhi opened the letter, there was a row of very beautiful seal scripts inside. The handwriting was clear and the ink was rich, as if it had just been written.

Chen Zhi could recognize these handwritings. .

When they were investigating the unnamed mummy in the underground palace of Tianfa Temple, they saw a video in that corpse.

At that time, the mummy delivered the token for Princess Gaoyang to her lover, who was living in seclusion in the underground palace at that time.

Holding a wooden Buddha bead, he was writing a letter to Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, on the table, calling him brother Wang in the letter.

It was also this person who was chopped up in the downtown area of ​​Chang'an because of his relationship with Princess Gaoyang. This person was fighting against Buddha!

The handwriting in this letter at this time is exactly the same as the handwriting written to Ju Wentai at that time.

Therefore, the letter in Chen Zhi's hand should be the authentic handwriting of Dou Victory Buddha!
For some reason, when holding this letter, Chen Zhi's hands trembled involuntarily.

It's not that he has never seen a storm. In fact, no matter what is in front of him now, it is difficult for him to feel any fear.

But he seemed terrified of reading the letter, afraid of knowing what it contained.

But in the end, he still read it. People in the Tang Dynasty were good at using classical Chinese, and their writing was exquisite, but the translation into Mandarin is roughly the same...

"Family relatives meet:
I have been blessed by God, enlightened my mind, followed the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty, retrieved the scriptures, and obtained the true fruit, which is the creation of heaven and earth.

Recalling the past, we orcs were barbaric and undeveloped, drinking blood like fur. Although we belong to the lineage of ancient giant beasts, we don’t know the shame of ethics, so we were abandoned by China. It is worth going far to the Western Regions. Life and death are like beasts.
After I met the gods, I was led to the road of naturalization. I deeply felt the meaning of my Buddha, and I was completely enlightened, and I took refuge in the right way of my Buddha.

I always remember that my people are also beastmen, and my heart is sad.

The gods sent me to Tianzhu and promised me two things.

After I come back from learning the scriptures, give me the throne, honor my body, and protect Gaochang.

And my orc lineage will be promoted to Xiqi, and I will be given a title and honor, and I will return to Huaxia with glory from then on.

I worked so hard and finally got the right result. I wanted to go back to my hometown of Gaochang and fulfill my old promise.

However, when she was in Chang'an, she fell into a demon, and was deeply entangled in the love of the imperial concubine of the current dynasty. The affection was deep and harmonious, and she could no longer escape, and committed an unforgivable crime.

Emperor Tang was furious when he learned about it, and wanted to cut me in the middle of the city. Master Xuanzang wept and wailed, and wanted to use his beloved disciple to take the blame for me.

But I have made a big mistake, and I have learned the Dharma, I know etiquette, righteousness and shame, and I know that my own mistakes can't be blamed for others.

So he decided to turn into the body of the defense machine to be beheaded and redeem his sins.

After I die, my descendants will return to Gaochang to repay their kindness, and entrust your clansmen to the Xiqi royal family.

You don't need to be afraid, the gods have a high status in Xiqi, and they say what they say.

From then on, you need to serve Xiqi sincerely, regard the king of Xiqi as your father, learn wisdom, learn Buddhism, master marriage, and know integrity. The king of Xiqi will give you names and belong to China from now on.

When Xiqi came to pick you up, you all took the white robes of the gods as proof.

Although the gods and I have only one side, but the gods taught me that all living beings are equal, there is no distinction between high and low.

With such fate, you can fully trust him, and Xiqi will treat our people kindly!

Don't read it~~"

After reading these words, Chen Zhi pinched the paper in an instant, and his heart started beating wildly.

The countless doubts in his mind were all connected into a line at once, and in an instant, what happened that year had clearly appeared in front of him!
Everything has a price, and King Gaochang needs a price. The Fighting Victory Buddha, who was willing to accompany Xuanzang to the distant Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures, of course also needs a price.

This white-clothed god made many vows in the past. He not only promised King Gaochang to protect the safety of Gaochang, but also promised to defeat the Buddha and move his clansmen back to China and give them honor.

But in the end...

Neither promise was fulfilled, Jiang Ziya lied
The image of Jiang Ziya instantly collapsed in Chen Zhi's mind. Everything he had before was no longer so firm. What can a treacherous villain not do?

He was able to deceive King Gaochang and Dou Shengfo more than 1300 years ago. Could it be that the enchantment, which is regarded as the most important enchantment for human beings, is also the same?

lie?

Chen Zhi's eyes began to spin wildly because of the violent brain nerves, and he couldn't help but look at the monkey corpses again.

Judging from this appearance... these monkeys were all killed, and before they died, they were still clutching the Buddhist beads they believed in, which proved that they had not resisted.

Judging from the performance of that monkey just now, he hates Xiqi very much. What's the reason?Because of the death of his ancestors!
1300 years ago, who killed its ancestors?
Was it the court at that time?

Impossible, Tang Taizong at that time had neither the ability nor the necessity.

Who is that?
Then who on earth has such power, can break into this place like a bamboo, leaving these powerful orcs defenseless, and they are all killed in the end.

Is..., Could it be...

When Chen Zhi thought of this, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind passing over his head.

The monkey didn't know when it was hiding on it, and suddenly showed its face in the darkness.

His face was full of ferocious anger, and his sharp claws went straight to Chen Zhi's head...
