The tongue of fire was like the sickle of death, and the flames were rolling. In a short time, I would be burned out of my fucking relics. I curled up into a ball and rolled down. I didn't care whether there was a mountain of knives below. Fortunately, the humidity here is thick, and the thousands of years of fire oil have dulled and corroded it, so I still have some time to escape.
In just ten seconds, I escaped from the tomb passage and fell down from the top. A tongue of fire came out of the tomb passage and almost licked me. I was covered in kerosene. My life was at stake. It was a critical moment! The consequences are really unimaginable.
Before I could even imagine the scene of being skewered with candied haws or being smashed into meat pies, I felt my body go limp, and it was over.
I was a little surprised. I didn’t know where I had thrown the flashlight. I wanted to use the light of kerosene in the tomb above to see the surrounding environment, but to my surprise, it was pitch black above me. From the moment just now, I It felt like the tomb passage containing kerosene was not far above my head, but now it was as if nothing had happened! This all makes me wonder if I am still hallucinating.
A stench suddenly entered my nostrils, and the source was right under my feet! I immediately took a step back, not wanting to step on the metal of a cylinder. A beam of dark yellow light shot out. Although the light was a bit dark yellow, I recognized it in a blink of an eye, wolf eyes! My heart says that the brand is the brand, but it is still so bright even though the battery is almost out.
Um? Why is there modern equipment here? Could it be that it's Gui Jiuye's team? I squinted my eyes for a while to adjust. When I opened my eyes again, I was completely stunned by the scene in front of me.
Not far away, I saw a khaki dog head with its bloody mouth open ferociously, holding a black coffin in its mouth. The coffin had been opened, and there were several modern human corpses around it, each with their eyes wide open. , as if he had experienced something very scary before his death. My back couldn't help but feel numb, and all kinds of shocking, weird and cruel scenes flooded into my brain. Picking up the flashlight, the lights around me started to light up. At my feet, a Caucasian man with black teeth and bloodshot eyes stared at me viciously. My heart couldn't help but shrink. I didn't run away. I fell on this brother just now. I was so scared. I quickly bowed, but didn't dare to speak.
Judging from their clothes and modern equipment, this should be a special force, and it is an international special force. It is very likely that it is a special force of a certain country, or an international organization that operates in every country. Elites selected one by one by the state. Completely different from A Xiu's team. This team has a lot of background, which can be seen from the sophisticated equipment and overall quality. It also looks more professional. The labels on the clothes have been torn off. No, this should be It is a kind of enhanced combat uniform, which is difficult to see on the market. This proves that this group of people is not trivial, and they are not ordinary tomb robbers.
So, apart from Gui Jiuye, there is another lama! This has already reached an international level... Moreover, this tomb is blessed with feng shui, and the corpse will decay very slowly. If the whole body is intact, it is very likely that the corpse will undergo transformation.
Which force's team is this? Is this really Cao Cao's underground palace?
After a while, I gave up this idea. I was sure that this was definitely not Cao Cao's tomb, but an ancient tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty. The reason lies in the surrounding murals. In the middle of each of the simple image paintings are dense inscriptions in Western Zhou Dynasty. The so-called inscriptions are specially cast and engraved on bronze ritual vessels. They are often found on bells and tripods, so they are called bells and tripods. Because the inscriptions are often The name of bronze is "Ji Jin", so it is also called "Ji Jin Wen" or "Ji Jin Wen". Bronze wares are often used to worship ancestors and are also common in ancestral temples.
The ones engraved on the bronze ritual vessels are called "Ji Jinwen". I tentatively touched the painting wall, and instantly a bone-deep coldness penetrated my palms. Tsk, bronze! I walked close to the painting wall for nearly a dozen steps, and there was no doubt that it was all bronze.
I was completely surprised. How big the size of the tomb was. The identity of the owner of this tomb must have been very important at that time. The tomb was poured with bronze. This kind of skill was not something that could be afforded just by thinking about it. His status must be so high that it makes people tremble.
The murals record the life and death of the owner of the tomb. This kind of image painting originated from the simplified paintings in the early Huangdi era, but it is not the kind of scrawled black and white painting. Instead, special materials and pigments are added, which will not be corroded by wind. Therefore, It looks lifelike and has great research value. If archaeologists and some Chinese scholars come here, they will definitely not be able to put it down.
What makes me feel weird is that I can understand all these words. With the murals, I began to walk into the life of the tomb owner and the chaos of that troubled world.
When talking about the history of the development of Chinese writing, we must start with the earliest discovered oracle bone inscriptions. Oracle bone inscriptions are characters carved on turtle bones and animal bones during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. These characters were mainly used for the "Huo Xuanwu" to predict good and bad luck during wars. Legend has it that The tortoise evolved from ancient Xuanwu. The auras of heaven and earth are gathered into one body. The tortoise shell on its back is a natural realm of reincarnation. Ancient diviners prepared three flavors of real fire for calcining. Finally, the cracks were used to predict the future evolution of the territory and the development of the country. It is said that the predictions on the tortoise shell are consistent with the predictions on the tortoise shell. If there is an error, it can only indicate the ability of the fortune teller and the failure to prepare the three flavors. Because of the true fire, the three flavors of true fire have been lost since the Western Zhou Dynasty.
According to legend, the weapons of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times were all based on bronze. In later generations, bronze, like tortoise shells, was a divine object that understood the heaven and earth. Some lost religions in ancient times even worshiped bronze when they encountered it to show their high respect for the gods of heaven and earth. . The custom of inscriptions on bronze ritual vessels began to become popular in the late Shang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Zhou Dynasty.
The Zhou Dynasty was divided into seven kingdoms, and the seven kingdoms offered sacrifices to the Qin Dynasty. The status of bronze had reached a terrifying level, and copper was called gold. Therefore, later generations called the characters on the bronze ritual vessels "Bronze Inscriptions", and their scientific name was "Zhongding Wen". Later came the small seal script, and the seal script was called the big seal script. The seal script was an ancient font that originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and became popular in the Qin Dynasty. Today, it is represented by Shiguwen, and the seal script is called the small seal script.
Later writing development became more diverse, as is known to future generations. The flourishing of writing originated from the feudal system, and gradually developed over time until it has developed to the present day. The pre-Qin period was the embryonic stage, and the imperial writings of the same stream were turtle shell inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, and small and large seal scripts. The Qin and Han dynasties were the formation stage, and the number of characters that came into being began to change from more to less, which also indicated the increasing maturity of the centralized state. The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the development stage. The Sui and Tang dynasties became increasingly mature, the Song and Yuan dynasties began to strengthen, and the Ming and Qing dynasties had begun to develop. enter a tight situation.
After talking about the mottled remaining history in Chinese characters, I only read part of it, and the life of the tomb owner left me speechless! This is a prince hidden behind history. His deeds are like myths, hard to believe, but more than justifiable.
This was a monarch who lived around the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the end of the Warring States Period. His name was Zhuge Xiang. He had a side sect of magic and ruled the entire Great North. His territory was the largest country at that time. Judging from the bronze inscriptions on the murals, it was a time of wealth and chaos, with heroes emerging in large numbers, and large families confronting and gathering together, so there was a situation where a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended.
During the Warring States Period, there were not only seven kingdoms. Since Ji Fa founded the Zhou Dynasty, the ruling method was "blood relationship". With the death of Ji Fa and other three previous generations, the territory was far away, people were separated for a long time, and interests were swayed. The national system of each vassal state became very different. As the blood relationship faded, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty evolved. The tendency of the Spring and Autumn Period to feign attack and the Warring States Period! During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were hundreds of large and small countries, and by the time of the Warring States Period, there were as many as fourteen.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period, a country called "Witch" began to gain momentum. This country had a king who was proficient in witchcraft and called himself the Witch Emperor. His name was "Zhuge Xiang".
The viewers were amazed and the listeners were speechless. Didn’t it say earlier that the owner of the tomb was a figure from the Western Zhou Dynasty? Yes, this is what surprised me. Zhuge Xiang lived a long life. According to the Jijin inscriptions on the mural, he lived to be 414 years old. Therefore, he was not only a person in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but also a powerful monarch in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. .
I squirmed forward close to the painting wall. Although looking at it without beginning or ending, Zhuge Xiang's deeds seemed a bit in ruins, but this was all real history, and every record was brand new compared to real history. Historical chapter. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhuge Xiang was the unknown military advisor of the Qi State, possessing a special sect of sorcery. He played a vital role in every war between the Qi State and other countries.
Later, the state of Qi was short of gold and food. The monarch of Qi invited Zhuge Xiang to a secret star gathering banquet. It was extremely luxurious and extravagant. The monarch of Qi personally replenished Zhuge Xiang's wine and presented him with rare treasures and peerless beauties. He took out a map and said, It is the tomb stronghold of the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It tells the country that there is a shortage of food and wages, and the time to support it is probably not long. Secondly, the monarch of Qi has been living for a hundred years, hoping that Zhuge Xiang can find the way to immortality in the peerless secret realm.
Judging from the mural, Zhuge Yan's sword-browed eyebrows and evil eyes burst out with inhuman aura. After that, Zhuge Xiang used the three-flavored true fire to refine armor and ask the heaven and the earth under the starry sky. It is recorded in it that he told a big lie and obeyed the wishes of the monarch of Qi. He disguised himself as an army and marched towards the vast north. There is no record in it. The number of the army, judging from the shadows on the murals, is impossible to count.
I looked down again with doubts, and then I realized that the monarch of Qi State at that time ordered him to return to the carbine according to the designed route after finding the treasure. In response to the Qi State headquarters, he attacked from both sides and killed the most powerful guard at that time. After destroying Wei, Qi can unify other vassal states by relying on the old power of Qi, and the monarch of Qi can ascend the throne of the Heavenly King and control the world.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Yan understood the tortoise shell divination and used sorcery to win over the military. After obtaining the treasures from the royal tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he settled in the north and established his own country, called "Witch Kingdom". Soon after, the Qi State, which was short of troops and food, was destroyed. After years of changes, it ushered in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At this time, the Wu State was already the most powerful country in the north, and its monarch was Zhuge Xiang.
Seeing this, a strange suspicion came to my mind. Could this Wu Kingdom be the predecessor of the Xiongnu? The weapons and costumes of the Wu Kingdom on the murals all have the shadow of the Xiongnu in historical materials.
I took a breath of cold air, and just when I was about to continue reading, my foot stepped on nothing, and I immediately started to fall. In a hurry, I grabbed the path I came from, and the sound of the Wolf Eye flashlight falling echoed in my ears. Unexpectedly, the road under my feet was also made of bronze with distinct textures. It must be "Kun Painting", also known as "Corpse Suppression Painting", so I picked at the gaps and started to climb up.
Just halfway up the climb, I felt a few hands pulling on my clothes and backpack behind me. Every time I climbed up, the force would increase by 10%. After a while, I heard a faint roar in my ears. I don’t know if it was the sound of the wind or the cry of an evil ghost. Yelling, my body began to become weak, and the hands pulling my clothes began to pull my hair. My scalp hurt so much that I gritted my teeth.
I was still in good health, so I became violent for a moment, grabbing the pattern of the corpse map with one hand, and reaching for the backpack behind me with the other hand.
When I went to Feilong's store, I only brought the remaining copy of "The Thirty-Six Factions of Tomb Robbers", a few pieces of bread, and a fruit knife wrapped in cloth. In the past, when Feilong and I were eating meat and making tooth sacrifices, Feilong would tell me some weird and supernatural stories.
He said that although ghosts do harm to people, they are also afraid of certain people and the equipment of their professions. Not to mention the distant ones, there are talismans for touching gold, seals for hair mounds, skills for moving mountains, and armor for unloading mountains. The talismans in the hands of these tomb robbers with eyes and hands all have the effect of suppressing ghosts. There are also distant ones, such as the carpenter's ink box, the butcher's butcher's knife, the executioner's hand, etc. As long as there is wisdom and blood attached to it, it can suppress ghosts.
Is the fruit knife comparable to the butcher knife?
After digging around for a long time, a smile gradually appeared on my face. There were a lot of fire folds in his mother's backpack. It was probably Zhang Sanzhi who put them there. At that time, seeing Li Sanzi's soul, he was still a bit taboo about fire. After all, fire is the essence of Yang Qi. , the yang suppresses the evil and yin energy, and it is the perfect principle for thousands of years.
The force pulling me was really strong and I couldn't hold on any longer, so I quickly lit a fire. The fire suddenly lit up, and the force pulling me was instantly removed. In this gap, I used all my strength. The force jumped up, and finally threw a handful of fire sticks downwards.
The fire fold fell below, and sparks flew everywhere. I saw a horrifying scene. If I guessed correctly, this should be a burial pit for human sacrifice. There were all livid ancient corpses underneath. They were not rotten, but were as green as ancient corpses. Like copper, it seems that the tomb here is an excellent Feng Shui treasure cave. The ancient corpses from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have not yet rotted!
When I endured my fear and wanted to take a closer look, the light of the fire was suddenly extinguished, and the darkness suddenly returned. I quickly lit up the fire again, looked around and prayed for a way out, and I started After running in the opposite direction for nearly ten minutes, I saw the scene on that side again.
I don't know when I started to sweat. It was impossible to go back to the kerosene tomb passage where I fell. Whether that weird passage existed or not was a question. I glanced at the coffin in the dog's mouth not far away. Inexplicably, there was an advantage. Maybe there was something else going on in Goutou's mouth, maybe there was a secret passage.
Just when I was about to walk towards the dog's head, the lid of the coffin seemed to move.
