Chapter 49 Chapter Thirteen

"Ah! Look quickly!" Tian Guoqiang suddenly pointed to the inside of the coffin and shouted uncontrollably. Seeing Tian Guoqiang's appearance, First Young Master Liu thought he had seen the zongzi, so he quickly poked his head around to take a look, and he couldn't help exclaiming, "My dear mother!" But I saw a dead body lying flat in the sarcophagus. He was wearing a strange mask on his face, and he was wearing a scarlet robe with some dragon patterns embroidered on it.These patterns and the robes complement each other, forming a strong visual impact, which makes people feel inexplicably chilled.There was also a dark red blood jade with round holes hanging around the man's waist, with a faint luster.What kind of embalming material was added to this corpse, which has kept the corpse from decomposing for thousands of years, and what surprised everyone most was that the skin of the corpse was still very rosy, not as dry as the corpses they usually see .

Everyone knows that after a person dies, the function stops, and the skin will gradually lose moisture, thus turning into a mummified corpse, but how does this corpse retain moisture?Even Zhang Enpu, who has always been a researcher on ancient corpses, can't answer this point. It seems that many wisdoms of the ancients are indeed superior to those of modern people. However, everyone's attention was not on this magical dead body, but on his left and right hands, because his two hands were holding a mirror.It is said to be a mirror, but it is actually more like a beautifully crafted bronze medal. The three-eyed human face on the left of the bronze medal has a faint smile, while the three faces on the right of the bronze medal are ferocious and cold. There are countless beating black particles around the mirror. , is the source of hostility.

Zhang Enpu looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his body shook violently: "No wonder... no wonder, it turned out to be Qin..." "King Qin's bone mirror!" Young Master Liu turned his head to look at Zhang Enpu in surprise, his face was also clouded with suspicion at this time, "This...what's going on here?" Zhang Enpu took three deep breaths before explaining the origin of the mirror to Liu Dashao and Tian Guoqiang. There used to be a legend that when Qin Shihuang was in power, he was on a tour to the south. On the way, he saw someone salvage a floating corpse by the sea. This male corpse was an old man. He was tall and different from ordinary people. , the flesh is as hard as iron, wearing the crown of the ancient king, I don’t know how long it has been floating in the sea, let alone the cause of death, but it still looks like life, there is no sign of being soaked in sea water for a long time, a gust of sea breeze blows, the ancient All the corpses and men are flying, just like the living people.

Qin Shihuang thought that this ancient corpse was the slough of an immortal in the sea, and it should be sacrificed and enshrined in order to ask the immortal to give him the medicine of immortality, but others held the opposite view. Thinking that this is an ancient zombie, transformed by a monster, it must have emerged from the sea eye of the South China Sea. Seeing it is already ominous, so they talked about worshiping and asking for medicine, and then said when and when this thing happened However, what kind of omen it symbolizes, and how to deal with it is the proper way. It was not easy to be an alchemist in the Qin Dynasty. Most of the ancient people were relatively simple. Can live for Kan, Qin Shihuang is not a soft-hearted person, but he can't stand the truth of what these people say. In addition, he believes in these mysterious and mysterious things, and he is worried that zombies will appear in his eyes. There is a sign of subjugation, since there is no way to add firewood, knives and axes, there is only a cave to hide it, so 30,000 prisoners were ordered to dig through a barren mountain to bury the corpse, cast a bronze beast to press the zombie on the mountain, and invited Qin Wangba The "Qin Wang Zhaogu Mirror" in the mirror was embedded in the head of the beast, and finally closed the mountain and returned.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, people in the world generally believed that bronze mirrors could suppress zombies, because people at that time had to "face upright" in front of the mirror, to see if their expressions were solemn and serious, and whether their clothes and hats were neatly dressed. Quickly come to the right, so the bronze mirror is the representative of "positive", one positive can suppress all evils, and the mirror also represents "yang", which is a symbol of daytime and a deterrent force against "yin". The king of Qin swept Liuhe to determine the world. In the process, he obtained many secret artifacts of the six countries, including eight ancient mirrors, including the bronze mirror of the founder of the Legalist family, and the bone mirror of the king of Qin. It is said that this bronze mirror can Looking at the veins of human bones is a rare and priceless treasure in the world. Qin Shihuang buried this bone mirror together with the ancient corpse in the sea in the mountain.

Qin Shihuang died shortly after returning to Xianyang. As for where the King Qin's bone mirror was buried, it became a mystery through the ages. No one knew its whereabouts. Suddenly, there were five dragons fighting around a hill in the air. In the end, all five dragons died, and the dragon corpses fell from the sky. The herb collectors panicked and told the nearby villagers about the incident, and everyone rushed to watch it, only to see a huge object wriggling in the ditch. Later, a giant copper beast was obtained from the ditch. It had the head of an ox and a turtle body, horns on its head, a tortoise shell body, and seven tails. The tails were tied with skulls. With a bronze mirror of simple shape, someone dedicated it to Ming Xizong, the reigning emperor at that time.

You must know that during Ming Xizong's reign, what he cared about most was not the government, but carpentry craftsmanship, so that he attached great importance to it.A well-informed minister told Ming Xizong that this ancient mirror was a pre-Qin thing, and it was exactly the Qin King’s Bone Mirror recorded in the history books. This thing was a tool for suppressing demons in the Qin Dynasty. In the ban, things should be returned to their original places, and they should be reburied and restored to their original state according to the etiquette system. However, Ming Xizong regarded this mirror as a treasure and refused to give it up. He kept it by his side to enjoy it. He fell into the water and soon died of a cold.The whereabouts of King Qin's Zhao Gujing are unknown again.

The fact that Qin Shihuang encountered an ancient corpse at the seaside in the south was originally an unofficial legend, and it may not be taken seriously, but there is a clear record in the history books of Qin Wang's bone mirror, and later scholars believe that this bone mirror is probably not a bronze A mirror, but a very special substance that can see through the human body. If that is the case, some history of science and technology will be rewritten, just like some of the royal artifacts of the Han Dynasty mentioned in the "Hanshu", some of which even It may be the first radioactive substance discovered by human beings. If the real object can be found now, it will be enough to shock the whole world. Unfortunately, this thing is like many ancient Chinese treasures. No one knows its whereabouts. Since there is no real object, it can only be let With the few lines of ink in the ancient books, the later generations are fascinated by imagination, and aftertaste with emotion, they leave many regrets and sighs.

After Zhang Enpu's explanation, Liu Dashao, Tian Guoqiang and others were fascinated, and they were about to ask again, but they were interrupted by Zhang Enpu. "Wait! This matter is getting more and more chaotic, and we need to sort it out." Zhang Enpu shook his head with a complicated expression. First, in order to find the source of hostility, everyone entered an underwater cave. Unexpectedly, they came to a cave worshiping the Yin God. Then they saw a huge scroll of eighteen hells, and finally found a secret passage. Second, in the secret passage, the four of them came across a human skin lantern that could only appear in an ancient tomb, and based on the inscription behind Li Lishan's corpse, they speculated that they had entered the tomb of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty unintentionally.

Three, escaped from the pursuit of the ghost lantern, the four stepped on the ghostly stone steps, and found the corpse of the mercury child on the stone steps. Four, all the way down, the four of them came to the depths of the cave, and found a blood pool and a magic circle, and there was a white jade coffin in the magic circle. Fifth, the white jade coffin was broken, and everyone found a sarcophagus inside, which was tied with a Qishaweiyang lock. Sixth, unlock the Qisha Weiyang lock, open the sarcophagus, and found a dead body with a high-sounding appearance, and what surprised everyone even more was that the dead body held a complete pair of Yin-Yang ghost masks in its hands.

A series of questions emerged: One, is the source of hostility under this coffin? Second, what is the purpose of these arrangements in the mausoleum, as well as the many organs that activate the hostility? Third, the ancient corpse in this ancient tomb should be the real body of Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao, but why he was not buried in the royal cemetery, but chose to build a large-scale construction project, and buried here secretly. The patterns on the murals, What exactly does it mean?In the end, Ming Xizong, who was clearly dead, was resurrected?From this point of view, the answer that Taoist Li Lishan knew at the beginning was only a small part of it, and the bigger answer may still be hidden behind. After a long while, Zhang Enpu finally calmed down. He stretched out his hand cautiously, trying to take off the Qin Wangzhao bone mirror from the ancient corpse's hand.At this time, Young Master Liu and Tian Guoqiang clearly saw that the mask on the face of the ancient corpse suddenly had a strange light, and the eyes of the ancient corpse seemed to open in an instant, watching coldly through the mask. three people. Then, the mouth on the mask suddenly split open, a stream of black miasma spewed out, and a black sandalwood bead shot out from the mouth of the ancient corpse. It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, relying on his extraordinary reaction, Young Master Liu pushed Zhang Enpu away, turned over and fell to the ground. There was a muffled sound of 'dong', and the powerful sandalwood bead hit the huge cowhide drum suspended in mid-air, and a strange drum sound fluctuated back and forth in the air, shaking everyone's ears buzzing. After the black miasma completely dissipated, the three got up from the ground. "Old Taoist priest, are you alright?" Young Master Liu asked. Zhang Enpu patted the dust on his body and said, "It's okay, young master, thank you!" First Young Master Liu thought to himself, what are you thanking me for? Can I do it if I don't save you? If something happens to you, where can I find a way out?Besides, in order to get rid of Lao Shizi's hostility, I hanged my life here, and regretted that there was nowhere to buy medicine. "Look at his face!" Tian Guoqiang exclaimed suddenly. The two turned their heads and looked into the sarcophagus, only to see that the dead body was undergoing strange changes.His face slowly melted and rotted, peeling and cracking.Suddenly there was a sound of tearing, and the dead body's head was split into four neatly like a melon, and the rancid juice slowly overflowed, and a colorful flower slowly emerged from his head.
