Chapter 154 – Three Kings
Fatty was about to ask again, I interrupted him with a wave of my hand: “What’s the matter, just saw the coffin and got agitated? In the past, there was indeed a manhole coffin, bronze coffin, eight not hard do not approach the precepts, but we can step over the bridge of three lives, came to the netherworld before the door of the Palace of the Underworld, shows that the three of us life is absolutely hard enough, otherwise not step on the bridge of three lives, would have long fallen into the netherworld.”
Fatty said, “Joke, when has this commander ever been afraid, only never seen this kind of coffin, a tiger bites a hedgehog, I don’t know how to bite.”
In fact, I don’t know if we are hard enough, so just to add some courage to the fat man, in front of the doorway in the dark wall, from the depths of the chamber of the three strange coffins, there is still a certain distance, although the flare bright oozing, but can not see the details, had to wait for a moment, see the door was pried open, did not touch any organs, then Shirley Yang and fat man nodded, indicating that you can go in.
Shirley Yang open the “golden steel umbrella” in the forefront of the road, I and the fat man followed closely behind, just shot into the flare is not extinguished, will be the darkness of the crypt illuminated a bright, and I expected the same, this is a very large “back” shaped crypt, the Yin Palace is divided into two floors, inner and outer. Yin Palace is divided into two layers, inside and outside, within the white wall, is the first layer, and the distance between the wall of seven or eight meters, there is another layer of brick wall surrounded by the middle of the two layers of the wall of the tomb door is opposite to each other, the inside is just a curved top of the low doorway, there is no door grille obstruction, the flare directly through the past, into the deepest chamber.
Once in the outer door, I first used the “wolf-eye” flashlight to illuminate the two sides, where the two walls of the tomb of the sandwich, piled with a kind of green and gray giant copper casting “sacrificial vessels”, these copper plates, copper tripods, and stacked between the ivory, jade coins, jade kettle, symbolizing the owner of the chamber in the master These bronze plates, bronze tripods, and the ivory, jade coins and jade cauldrons piled up in between symbolize the owner of the tomb’s status as a king.
This is my life, to see the most burial goods of a king’s tomb, these burial goods is for the dead specially made, not like the Jingjie country, casually bring some valuable things piled into the Han and Tang dynasties, the most prevalent style of burial, legend has it that during this period, some of the emperor’s mausoleum in the funeral more than a thousand tons, equivalent to one-third of the country’s financial resources at that time, and this ” King Xian’s tomb” in the burial artifacts, although not as luxurious as those imperial tombs, but almost the entire country of Yunnan are buried in the tomb pit, but these subjects, slaves and treasures, who did not follow the King Xian to heaven, in the 2,000 years of wear and tear, rotting in the dark, dark, sunless underground.
I sighed, thinking that all those old things that were worth money in China before, were so spoiled, at that moment, I accelerated my pace, and followed Shirley Yang into the inner chamber, the two-fold chamber was just like the inner and outer city of an ancient city, and this chamber in the deepest part of the tomb, i.e., the core part of the ancient tomb.
The light of the flare is gradually dimming down, as soon as we stepped into the chamber, the surrounding was suddenly plunged into a dark, we immediately turned on the spotlight on the helmet, and immediately saw the copper coffin in front of us that was suspended in mid-air with a copper ring, it was the largest, and also the most prominent among the three coffins, and the rest of the two didn’t fall on the copper ring.
Copper coffin black lusterless, covered with a very thick layer of dust, I put on gloves, will be the copper coffin on the dust to stroke off a layer, the coffin body immediately by the light into a weird green-gray, the copper coffin has given birth to a lot of green copper flowers, cold eyes, it seems to be crawling all over the dark green centipede.
Take a closer look, the copper coffin is also wrapped with nine heavy locks, sealed airtight, outside cast a lot of exotic plants, in addition, there is no more obvious features, is big, heavy, heavy only, the real coffin should be inside it.
And then look at the other two coffins, a wooden coffin, look at the style and size, should not be a wooden coffin, and only a layer of coffin board, but this coffin is not unusual, a rough look, the coffin board is about eight inches thick, the coffin did not go on the lacquer, showing the original color of the wood, black as if charcoal, the wood is extremely fine steel tough.
Shirley Yang said, “The coffin does not seem to have been specially processed, but how in the world can there be wood of this material?”
I used my hand to knock on the coffin lid, issued “empty” impact copper bell sound, in the crypt, the sound is particularly bright and deep, I said to Shirley Yang: “This is the legendary cellar coffins, in the deep forest ravine in the shade, where the sunlight can never be irradiated, there is a kind of carbon color tree, this kind of tree from the beginning of growth has never been irradiated, it is a kind of carbon color. This kind of tree from the beginning of growth, never see the sunlight, ordinary trees, every year to grow a circle of the annual cycle, and this kind of tree that does not see the sunlight, to dozens of hundreds of years, its annual cycle to increase a circle, this is called the manhole wood, this name is very special, describing that it is in the cellar of the tree to grow up.”
The fat man also reached out and touched the manhole coffin: “My God, this is really a manhole coffin, that can really be a treasure, I heard that this manhole wood is difficult to grow into a wood, can be made into a coffin, and the coffin board is also so thick, a little bit of other materials did not add, according to the current market, can be more than the same amount of volume of gold is worth money ah, I really can not find the right one, let’s it back to the resistance! …… is also OK, then we come back to Yunnan, it is not a Saturday compulsory labor, you say is not it.”
I said to the fat man and Shirley Yang: “Gold which can be compared to this wood, that is, ten gold coffins can not be changed, you see how thick this coffin board, and are the best cellar tree core, which has a name, called the cellar wood broken � eight-inch boards, is not 10,000 years of cellar wood, and where there is such a thick core, think of the Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Tz’u Hsi, and also did not mix on the treatment, because the tree in the Han Dynasty on the extinction of the later generations, the tree is the only one that has been used in the past. Han Dynasty is extinct, no one can find such a thick tree in later generations.”
Fatty rubbed his hands together, breathing became heavy: “Why I say two, what are we waiting for ah, hurry to fight it out of it.”
Shirley Yang ignored the fat man and said to me, “The bronze coffin hanging in the middle of the tomb is also very special, so what’s going on? There’s another oddly shaped coffin over there, could this be King Xian and his two wives?”
I shook my head, “I am now also somewhat unable to touch the door, the bronze coffin in the mausoleum system also belongs to the alien, only some big sinners, or nobles with infectious diseases, will be sealed with the bronze coffin, there is also a saying, is into the convergence before the signs of necrophilia, to prevent the zombie to break the coffin out, look at the bronze coffin has nine heavy locks on it, want to open it and how easy it is to talk about, the ghosts do not know what’s loaded in this. ”
Shirley Yang said: “I only know that there is a kind of copper angle gold coffin is to prevent the corpse change, the original of this drop hanging bronze coffin, is also the same reason, that hanging in the air is the meaning?”
The fat man also interjected: “This even I know, we have seen a human face before the bronze coffin, than this can be much more fierce, when the commander of the Hu almost scared pants, and then I heard that this kind of ring hanging coffin, is specially used to renovate the road to seek immortality people, so that they do not catch the ground turbid gas after death, according to my estimation of the head of the loaded, there are ninety-nine percent nine of the possibilities is to dedicate to the king of that old dumplings, he is not only not Become immortal, instead of the first hair to be born necrophilia, so the copper ring copper coffin hanging in the crypt, let’s not touch it before it’s too late, not as good as lifting the manhole coffin back, the next half of life counting money can not be counted over.”
I said to Shirley Yang: “You do not listen to his nonsense, scared to wet his pants is he is not me, but the second half of what he said is right, to hang in the air are in the Taoist door of the people, the copper coffins are used to install zombies, but can not be concluded that the inside is the king of dedication, these three coffins have a lot of articles, we see to understand and then start. ”
We decided to take a look at the third coffin is what it looks like, before deciding how to open the coffin, they walked together to the deepest part of the chamber, where there is a seamless sarcophagus, which is a “grain stone” with a direct result of the sarcophagus, grain stone coffin plate looks particularly simple, and even some of the primitive, decorated with hundreds of rings, these rings chiseled, gathered together. Ring-shaped chiseling, together, formed a black beast, can not see what it is, non-dragon non-tiger look, full of ancient and mysterious colors.
Seamless sarcophagus outside sealed with a layer of translucent dan lacquer, coffin seams are sealed inside, can not be seen, but through the recent accumulation of some experience in Panjiayuan, although there are many fakes, but the amount of information is very rich, access to a large number of beyond the see beyond the things, especially some folk collectors, from their mouths can learn a lot of information about a variety of Mingqi, are difficult to access the books, I’ve I had heard more than once that this seamless sarcophagus had been mentioned, and it was said that it had been dug out twice in the West Mountain.
But this sarcophagus, obviously shorter than the usual coffins, underneath the four stout one-legged stone people carry, so it appears to be again than the mouth of the manhole wooden coffin a large chunk higher, the fat man immediately after seeing, “This is certainly the son of the king of dedication, is a prince, did not graduate from junior high school, it will be his old man with the burial, and do not want to diploma, waiting for the together to rise to heaven to become immortal it? ”
Shirley Yang said, “Impossible, never heard of anyone letting their own children buried with them, tiger poison does not eat the son.”
I said to the two of them: “Of course not what the prince and grandson, the reason why this sarcophagus is short, it is likely that this inside the body is not loaded, the ancient warring states, the competition, a hundred schools of thought, the tomb culture also tends to diversify, there is a kind of limb burial, there is also a kind of burial called broken, and what the huddle burial, prone funeral, squat funeral, hanging, side burial, etc., the different understandings of the death, the way of placing the dead body is also each different. Different understanding of death, the way to put the dead body is also different, this should be the sarcophagus curled burial, and the stone is not trivial, is a kind of rare cool stone, the nature of the water like jade, inside the body must have been a dignified figure.”
Just that kind of “huddle burial” way, to the period of the Han emperor, has been extinct, whether in Diannan still remain, it is hard to say, the problem is that the three coffins, in addition to all very special, completely difficult to put together comparisons, although the same in a chamber, but also does not seem to have half of the correlation.
I think anyway, can not understand, all open to see is also, so let the fat man to the corner of the door, light three candles, and then first from this most valuable “cellar coffins” to start, dedicate the king is rotted into the earth, that “dust beads” should still be The “Dust Pearl” should still be inside the coffin.
When Fatty was lighting the wax, I saw the candlelight of the three candles lit up, illuminating the corners of the gloomy tomb, and suddenly remembered something in my mind, “The Bridge of Three Worlds, Three Coffins”?
When I was thinking hard, I heard Shirley Yang said to me, “I just remembered the three worlds bridge that I saw in front of the Yin Palace, the three coffins in the coffins, all the corpses are Xian Wang is not known, but there may not be the one that we are looking for, the one who owns the phoenix guts of Xian Wang, the coffins in the crypt, he dug it out from the other ancient tombs, maybe he somehow recognized that this was his corpse from a previous life.”
I thought about it for a while, and replied, “Yes, so it’s not difficult to understand, the three coffins don’t belong to the same period of time, but represent the three lifetimes of the King of Consecration on earth, Chinese Taoism has always had the legend of the Immortal Returning to Transform the Three Lives, and these first three lifetimes are known as the Three Prisons, and the last deaths will be extremely tragic, that’s why they will be restrained with these special coffins, and the real King of Consecration must be also hidden in this tomb room The real king of dedication, must also hide in this chamber somewhere …… Hey, we focus on looking at the three demon coffins, go to the corner of the candle pointing fat man why not come back? Three …… six …… nine …… nine candles in the corner, this grandson how to light so many wax? Where is he?”
Shirley Yang made a gesture to me to lower the raw sound: “You listen to that bronze coffin, is there a sound?”
