Yue and Song signaled everyone to be quiet. They walked gently along the carpet laid in the middle of the Qilin Cauldron. When they reached the dragon and phoenix wall at the end, they raised their shotguns together.
In the blink of an eye, they had turned behind the stone wall, staring at the thing behind the stone wall with angry eyes. Yue Guanchao wanted to shoot the living creature, but when he saw what was behind the stone wall clearly, his serious expression instantly collapsed.
Behind the stone wall, two corpses whose bones had withered into mummies were sitting. They were blown by the cool breeze behind the stone wall, and their heads hit the stone wall, causing a clicking sound.
"It turned out to be just two dry corpses."
Yue Guanchao knelt down and looked at the corpses. The clothes worn by the two corpses were not modern at all. They were wearing autumn brown robes. The collar was loosened on one side, revealing half of the arms and colorful linings. Black leather boots, and a layer of outer robe that is almost black gauze texture. The inner and outer layers of clothing are buckled at the waist by a copper buckle belt. Hanging on the waist are daggers, short knives, Bagua plates, water bags, fire folds and other sundries.
These two people had long been dried into corpses. Their facial features were like dried plum meat on their faces, leaving only two dark eye holes sunken into the bones. There were many places on their bodies that even the dried meat could not cover. Exposing black and yellow mottled bones, they leaned against the stone wall in a cross-legged posture. Their bodies shrank and their backs had already left the stone wall. The breeze would surely blow the dead bones and hit the stone wall, making a clicking movement.
The two men breathed a sigh of relief after finding the cause of the unusual movement in front of the palace. They motioned to their companions behind them to walk over.
"These two people are dressed just like in the portrait!"
Ren Peacock saw at a glance that the clothes of these people were very similar to the portraits. Song Siyuan nodded to him: "These portraits are all wearing casual round-neck robes, which are essentially Hu clothes like Hu robes. They were popular in the Li and Tang Dynasties." Because of its convenience and simplicity, almost everyone from dignitaries to common people likes to wear clothes in the palace and among the people."
"These two people can definitely be common people in the Tang Dynasty. As for their specific identities, we need to continue to investigate in detail."
After saying that, Song Siyuan lowered her head and illuminated the flashlight. He carefully observed the details. The two corpses had copper coins threaded with red strings on their heads, waists and shoe tips. They were almost the same as the previous corpse they found. A flash of light flashed in her eyes. A ray of light: "These two people are probably the ancestors of the Chao family!"
"Look at their copper coins. The habit of hanging gold name tags around their necks and placing copper coins on their heads, waists, and toes is a sign of paying homage to the Master. It's just like the gold-touching captain wearing a gold-touching charm. It's a rule within their own sect. In this way First, just relying on these copper coins, we can basically confirm that the master Feng from the Republic of China and them have the same origin, and they are originally a family."
After saying that, Song Siyuan picked up the dagger and began to search the necks of the corpses, and picked out a necklace that was so corroded that it was broken and rusty. The name tag was already mottled with green, and only the gold silk inlay in the name tag was clearly visible, which read, There are three words Li Xuanfu on it, and the same is true for the other corpse. The name tag reads Li Daocheng.
"Li Xuanfu, Li Daocheng, I remember that in the late Tang Dynasty, when the Chao family was involved in the theft of the Soul Palace, Li Daoling had already been renamed Chaodaoling. He is considered the founder of the Chao family. So what we see are these two people, probably They are the father and brother who gave the surname Zu to the Chao family."
Yue Guanchao groped around the waist of the corpse. The bulging leather bag clearly contained something. He pulled out the leather bag and loosened the belt, and took out a Xuanwu bronze seal from inside!
Song Siyuan went over to take a closer look. The Xuanwu copper seal was only half the size of a palm and could be held with one hand. It had edges on all sides and was about half an inch high. The seal was a Xuanwu lying on a square platform. The Xuanwu was open. It has a dragon head and phoenix eyes, and behind it is a turtle shell with yin and yang diagrams carved on its back. Its limbs are thick and scaly, and its claws are sharp. There is also a winding and swimming dragon wrapped around its body.
This turtle and snake cooperate with each other, with clear scales and claws, delicate skin texture, sparkling red agate eyes, and extremely cold and agile eyes. It is as if the ancient mythical beast is actually transformed into a copper button, guarding this seal.
When you open the tightly clasped copper seal box, you can see that the bright red seal pad is moist and shiny. When you pick it up, you can see the four ancient seal characters of Chao Feng Tian Guan!
Song Siyuan pulled out her notebook, picked up the seal and put it on the paper. When she lifted the seal up, she could see that the white characters on the red background were clear, bright, shiny, and moist.
"Thousands of years have passed, and the ink pad is still not dry!" Song Siyuan looked at the ink pad curiously.
"Daughter, this kind of bright and oily ink pad that has not dried for thousands of years was a tribute in the late Tang Dynasty. It was probably a reward from the Haidong royal family to the imperial officials. In the Tang Dynasty, the cold soup ink pad of the Gusu generation was a tribute. , this kind of ink pad is made of cinnabar, moxa, rhinoceros yellow, pearl powder, musk, castor oil, and mineral powder as raw materials, and is made through dozens of processes. Once stamped on paper, it will not get wet when wet, and will not leave traces when burned. It is magical. Very good!"
Yue Qingshan looked at the corpses and finally felt a little relieved: "With this seal, we can basically confirm that he is the official of Chao Fengtian. The corpses that the Chao family is looking for are these two."
