The Strongest Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders

Chapter 401
"Nai Nai, this place is gloomy. I said Buddha, why does your old Zhang's ancient building feel so evil? Could it be that there are zongzi inside?"

"Brother Chen, you can't talk nonsense. The Zhang family's ancient buildings are all the remains of our Zhang family's ancestors. There are no zongzi."

"Buddha, it's just a joke, don't mind."

Although Chen Yulou said that he was joking, the feeling of this ancient building is really evil.

For so many years, so many fights have been fought, and I don't know how many dangerous fights have been played. There is really no fight that makes him feel more evil than the ancient building of the Zhang family.

The Zhang Family Ancient Building is an eleven-storey tower-shaped building. The corners and cornices around the floors are full of ancient charm. At first glance, you can tell that this is an ancient building with a very historical sense of time.

The entire ancient building of the Zhang family is built on the mountain, embedded in the mountain, and the mist from the mountains envelopes the entire ancient building, looming, and it looks like a haunted house, which makes people get goosebumps.

"Buddha, dumb brother Zhang, brother Rishan, don't you mind if we go in and have a look?"

"Of course I don't mind."

"Then trouble the Buddha to open the door."

"Row."

Zhang Qishan opened the gate of the Zhang family's ancient building, and led Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle into the first floor of the ancient building.

The space on the first floor is huge, and it is full of off-white strong alkaline powder, but there is nothing else.

These white powders are all lime powder. According to Zhang Qishan, the reason why the lime powder is sprinkled here is mainly to repel insects and prevent moisture.

In the ancient building of the Zhang family, all the remains of the ancestors of the Zhang family are placed, which will attract some snakes, insects, rats and ants. Sprinkling lime powder is just a means of protection against insects and moisture.

"Master Ming, Brother Chen, Brother Partridge Whistle, the stairs to the second floor are here."

"I'm going, what is this?"

"Iron maid?"

"Buddha, are these the ancestors of your old Zhang family?"

The situation on the second floor surprised Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle.

On the second floor, there are hundreds of shelves filled with iron figurines.

All the shelves for placing the iron figurines are arranged in a radial pattern with the middle as the center, presenting a complete set of Fuxi's 64 hexagrams, and unusually strange characters are densely painted on the beams.

Didn't it mean that all the remains of the Zhang family's ancestors were placed in the Zhang family's ancient building? How could there be so many iron servants.

These iron servants are different in height, short, fat and thin. Obviously, these iron servants are all tailor-made according to real people.

Could it be that among these iron servants, all the people pretending to be the ancestors of the Zhang family?
"Master Ming, Brother Chen, Brother Partridge Whistle, among these iron servants, they are indeed pretending to be the ancestors of our Zhang family."

Zhang Qishan didn't want to hide the situation of the Iron Maid, it was indeed the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Because of their special blood, the life span of their Zhang family is relatively long. It is also because of their special blood that after the death of the Zhang family, it is very easy to turn their corpses into rice dumplings. , must be sealed, and sealed in the Zhang family's ancient building, so as not to cause disaster after the corpse is lifted.

Didn't Chen Yulou just say that the Zhang family's ancient building is full of zongzi, which is indeed the case.

Even if they die in the future, the descendants of the Zhang family will follow the instructions of their ancestors, seal them up and put them in the ancient building of the Zhang family.

"So that's how it is. Those iron maids who have feelings are really the ancestors of your Zhang family."

"Buddha, it seems that the ancestor of your old Zhang family was also a good person. In order not to turn into a dead body and cause harm to the world, he actually set up such an ancestor's precept."

"Nonsense, our old Zhang's family is of course a good person. It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future."

After walking around the second floor, a group of six people went up to the third floor.

On the third floor, there is a stone statue with a human face and a turtle body. The turtle's neck and limbs are very long. The human face is a turtle body. The forelimbs end with human hands, and the hind legs are turtle feet. It's a half-smile.

There is a depression on the turtle's back, and inside it is a black ball with human faces carved all over it.

"Buddha, what does this statue mean?"

"This is a portrait of the Ren Kingdom, and it is said that it is a descendant of the Shennong clan."

Before Zhang Qishan could reply, Partridge Whistle revealed the origin of this statue.

Zhang Qishan nodded and said, "Brother Partridge Whistle is right, this is the stone statue of Renguo, a descendant of Shennong."

"Why did the stone statue of Shennong appear in your Zhang family's ancient building?"

"Master Ming, Brother Chen, Brother Partridge Whistle, I really don't know about this. In the ancient building of the Zhang family, there is no relevant record about this stone statue of Renguo. If you want to know the origin of this statue of Renguo, you may only Only when the ancestors are resurrected will they know."

"Buddha, why are there so many wooden boxes hanging from the beam above, what are these wooden boxes inside?"

On the beams on the third floor, tens of thousands of wooden boxes are hung. The boxes are rectangular and as long as an arm, densely packed into the roof space of the third floor.

The iron servant on the second floor, and the wooden box on the third floor. The iron servant contains the remains of the ancestors of the Zhang family. What are these wooden boxes?
Could it be that these wooden boxes contained the remains of the ancestors of the Zhang family?

Such a small box can't fit such a large corpse.

Besides, the ancestors of the Zhang family left a legacy. The Zhang family has a special bloodline, which must be sealed after death, so as not to turn into zongzi and cause harm to the world. How could the descendants of the Zhang family violate the legacy of their ancestors and use wooden boxes to store the corpse.

Since these wooden boxes are not used to hold dead bodies, what are they used for?
"To be honest, Master Ming, Brother Chen, Brother Partridge Whistle, these wooden boxes are all filled with hands."

"hand?"

When Zhang Qishan said that these wooden boxes contained hands, Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle were really puzzled.

There are tens of thousands of wooden boxes, and each wooden box contains a hand, that is tens of thousands of hands, the hands of tens of thousands of people.

"Master Ming, Brother Chen, Brother Partridge Whistle, you can see for yourself." Zhang Qishan took down one of the wooden boxes and opened it.

"It's really a hand."

Inside the wooden box was a withered hand, two of which had unusually long fingers.

The Zhang family is a descendant of Faqiu. No one in the tomb robbery world can surpass him in his ability to probe caves with one hand and two fingers. He can easily break through the small traps in the ancient tomb.

Because of the Zhang family's unique skill of digging holes with two fingers, the index and middle fingers of the Zhang family will be trained to be particularly slender, which is far different from ordinary people.

The forefinger and middle finger of the withered arm in the wooden box are particularly long, which fully fits the characteristics of the Zhang family.

In other words, this withered arm belongs to the Zhang family.

If this is the case, then these wooden boxes are filled with the arms of the Zhang family!
"No... Lord Buddha, what's going on, why are there so many hands hanging here?"

"The ancestors taught that the Zhang family has a special bloodline. If you cut off your arms before encoffining, even if you get the corpse out of the Zhang family's ancient building, it will not cause too much harm."

"The awareness of your ancestors of the old Zhang family is true. I admire it."

The ancestors of the Zhang family worried that the Zhang family members would easily become zongzi after death, so they set up a legacy that the Zhang family members could only be sealed in the Zhang family's ancient building after death.

Before encoffining, the hands were cut off and put in a wooden box, separated from the torso.

This realization is all right.

What else can I say besides admiration.

"Master Ming, Brother Chen, Brother Partridge Whistle, let's go up to the fourth floor and have a look." Zhang Qishan covered the wooden box, hung it on the beam again, and brought Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle to the fourth floor. .

There are more than 1000 black wooden coffins on the fourth floor. The difference is that all the coffins on the fourth floor have epitaphs.

You know, those iron servants on the second floor don’t have epitaphs. Those Zhang family members in coffins on the fourth floor not only have beds to sleep in, but also a biography. From this, it can be seen that the Zhang family members on the second and fourth floors What is the importance of status.

"Zhang Shengqing."

"I'll go, Nana's, am I mistaken, 170 years old."

"I really lived to be 170 years old."

The first coffin was that of an ancestor of the Zhang family named Zhang Shengqing. Judging from the information on the epitaph, this person came from a branch of the Zhang family.

Surprisingly, if calculated from the date of birth on the epitaph to the date of death, the ancestor of the Zhang family named Qipan Zhang lived a full 170 years.

The Zhang family has Qiongqi and Qilin blood, and they can live longer than ordinary people. Generally, they can live to be 30 years old, but 170 years old is a bit exaggerated.

After all, Qiongqi's bloodline and Qilin's bloodline cannot make people live forever, they can only live longer.

"Zhang Shengqing is an ancestor of the Zhang branch of my Zhang family's chessboard. Among the Zhang family, he can be regarded as an ancestor who lived for a relatively long time."

Zhang Shengqing is not the longest-lived person in the Zhang family, there are others who live longer than him.

There are many Zhang family members who have the blood of unicorns and have lived to be two hundred years old.

The ancestor of Zhang Shengqing was just one of the first among the Zhang family who had Qilin blood.

"Zhang Ruitong, Master Buddha, isn't this your grandfather?" Among these epitaphs, Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle also found the coffin of Zhang Qishan's grandfather, Zhang Ruitong, the last generation of the Zhang family.

"Unfilial grandson Qishan, pay my respects to grandpa." Zhang Qishan knelt in front of Zhang Ruitong's coffin and kowtowed three times.

"Ri Shan, you should also pay homage to your parents and elders."

"it is good."

Zhang Rishan nodded, and went to worship his parents and elders, because the Zhang family was intermarried within the clan, no matter male, female, old or young, all had the surname Zhang, and all of them were placed in the ancient building of the Zhang family after death.

Of course, Zhang Qishan's father and mother are not in the Zhang family's ancient building. At the beginning, Zhang Qishan's father violated the ancestral precepts and had an affair with a foreigner. Because a foreigner's intermarriage would affect the special blood of the Zhang family, Zhang Qishan's father was expelled from the Zhang family. .

"Nai Nai's, so many coffins." Looking at the thousands of coffins on the fourth floor, these are all the coffins of the Zhang family's heavyweight ancestors, and there must be many good things buried with them.

It's a pity that none of these coffins can be opened, no matter how many treasures are buried in the coffins, they cannot be taken away.

If these coffins are really going to be moved, Zhang Qishan, dumb Zhang, Zhang Rishan, and the rest of the Zhang family must fight them desperately.
