Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 25: Han coffins

Xie Yi and Le Wuyi walked in a hurry, the sound of the corpses falling was still in their ears, and they could only pass by the scene of hell on earth. The worry about Shen Ye was not fake, but At this moment, they can only do their best to find the exit.

For some reason, they could obviously look up, but after seeing the severed limbs on the ground, both of them gave up this idea.

Fortunately, the corpse is far away from Xie Yi and the others, so it will not disturb their careful inspection of the surroundings.Except for the painful dragon, the rest of the murals in Longyou Shoal are beautifully and delicately depicted. Whether it is auspicious clouds or sea water, there seems to be no problem with the murals along the way.

Xie Yi frowned, and walked quickly while observing. There was no gap, no trace of digging. It seems that the left side of the tomb should be temporarily put aside and ignored.

I don't want Le Wuyi to come forward with a panicked face: "Master!"

Xie Yi paused: "No difference, what's wrong?"

But Le Wuyi took out a small bell from his bosom, the bell didn't make a sound, but vibrated slightly, and the frequency seemed to be increasing?

A copper bell that can move by itself?Xie Yi was puzzled: "This is..."

"It's used to suppress evil," Le Wuyi explained, "I took it just after entering this tomb, master," his eyes were a little worried, "every time it moves, it's when the snake girl comes, Will the snake girl come down this time as well?" The snake girl who obviously has bad intentions for them will come, no matter what Le Wuyi thinks, it will not be a good thing.

Shen Ye mentioned the matter of Luo Fu to Xie Yi, so Xie Yi looked at the stairs in the distance, his eyes became deeper and deeper: "Then we must hurry up."

Le Wuyi held the brass bell tightly: "Yes."

The two finally reached the end of the tomb, but unexpectedly, there were several coffins in the space behind the group of corpses that they thought was the end.

"This is... Could it be that the coffin of the king of the ancient Dian Kingdom is here?" Le Wuyi exclaimed, "Then the grand master did not go wrong!"

Xie Yi immediately denied: "That's not true, it's the same, these are women's coffins."

They are indeed women's coffins. These coffins are not big, and the longest one is only five feet ([-] meters). Phoenix pattern.

"Then why... why are these coffins placed separately?" Le Wuyi was still a little puzzled.

"You can see it at a glance." Xie Yi stepped forward, the wood used for those coffins is not ebony or golden nanmu used by nobles, nor is it ordinary fir used by commoners, but medium-level cypress, this kind of wood is incomparable Ebony is not afraid of water or shade, but in terms of resistance to soil erosion, it is still the first choice of many well-off families.

When they got closer, the two discovered that the coffins were not sealed, and the coffin lids were actually empty, and they could directly see the owner of the tomb inside.

Those are female corpses, no different from those corpses in the ancient Dian Kingdom outside, the corpses here have already decayed, only the white bones that have already turned ashes remain, which seem to be wiped out as soon as they are touched.And the gorgeous clothes worn by the corpse showed the different identities of the coffin owner.

I saw the golden phoenix chicks outside the brocade robe spreading their wings and flying. The bright color was actually woven with gold silk, while the brocade robe was covered with a layer of gauze, as thin as dust, which made Le Wuyi feel at ease at first glance. I thought of Mrs. Xin Zhui's Susha Zen robe.Looking at the owners of the other coffins, they were all dressed like this. The only difference was probably the accessories and buns they wore.

"Aren't these... the wives and concubines of the prince?" Xie Yi could only guess like this. It was already in the tomb where the nobleman lived, and there were such gorgeous clothes, but why put them alone?

Turning to the middle coffin surrounded by this coffin, the woman in it stunned the two of them. This person was dressed more gorgeously, and on the hem of the clothes was a pattern of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness, and the accessories she wore, All of them are inlaid with precious stones, and what is different from other women is that this coffin is filled with funerary objects of various colors, such as jade discs, jade rings, jade rings, agate, amber, turquoise gemstones, etc. There are countless numbers filling the entire coffin.

"This is?" With such a generous burial, "Could it be a princess?" If not, who would dare to use dragon and phoenix at the same time?Unless it is the emperor's child, otherwise, this dragon is absolutely unusable, and if this woman is not extremely favored, I am afraid that this dragon cannot be used.

Princess?But why not put it together with the ancient lord of Dian?

Looking at the group of hanging corpses again, Xie Yi frowned. From this point of view, compared with the gorgeous loose clothes of those nobles, is it that the women here are not showing off?Wait, wide clothes?

Xie Yi quickly looked at Le Wuyi: "No difference."

"Ah? Yes!" Le Wuyi instinctively stood at attention.

Xie Yi didn't have time to feel his disciple's such an interesting move, so he went straight to the point: "Is the costumes these women are wearing Hanfu?" It can only guess.

Le Wuyi was taken aback, scratched his head and said, "It's Hanfu, that's right, Jinpao and Ruqun... huh? Hanfu!" He finally found out what was wrong, "Could these people be all Han Chinese?"

But if they were Han people, it would make sense to be placed alone after death, otherwise, these women would have been hanged in the air without discrimination.

"Sure enough, they are Han people." Xie Yi showed joy, "If so, maybe there is a glimmer of life." If it is a rebel in a country, then it is very possible that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will not leave a way out with bloody methods, but if it is mixed with it, then What about some Han Chinese?And it was the Han women who made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty willing to bury them richly. Then, for these women, those who did it in the first place must have left behind, at least they will not kill them all.

"What does the master mean?" Le Wuyi asked.

"Marry and obey your husband," Xie Yi said, "If these women were Han women who were taken captive as wives and concubines, then Emperor Wu of the Han would not necessarily allow them to return to the country after they had become enemies. If you are a prisoner, then maybe you can make an exception and let these women escape."

"But the most likely possibility is that this woman is the princess used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his marriage." Xie Yi pointed to the coffin in the middle, "If so, all this makes sense."

The married princess is naturally unable to return to the country, but it is very possible for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to be lenient. So what is the way to preserve the princess without damaging the country's face?That is to let the princess fake death, escape from the tomb after the fake burial, and return to her hometown with a different identity.

If this is the case, then there must be an exit to the outside world in this tomb.

Le Wuyi was overjoyed when he heard the words, but said: "Then why is the princess still dead?"

Xie Yi shook his head and said: "It's no different. In ancient times, when a woman married her husband and her husband died, what's the use of returning to the country? After all, her life will be withered. Rather than being neglected by others in the royal family, it is better to die here. After all, she still has an innocent heart." name."

Le Wuyi could only sigh: "The ancients were just stubborn, so what are they trying to do?"

"Needless to say," Xie Yi said, "there is a clear distinction between the Han people and the ancient Dian people here. If there is an exit, it will be nearby. We must hurry."

"Yes!"

On one side, Xie Yi and Le Wuyi finally discovered the clues, and on the other side, Shen Ye finally arrived at the place where the ancient Dian Kingdom's ruler was.

It was a square stone couch, and on top of the five-story carved staircase was the king's seat.The ancient Dian Kingdom was located in the southwest, so naturally there would not be the coffin burial customs of the Central Plains, so this stone couch is a proof of the burial customs.

The corpses surrounded by layers can't stop everyone from walking forward, even if the eyes of those corpses are becoming more and more fierce, they just need to be careful at that time. At this moment, they just want to find what they need.

Everyone stood on the stone couch, Huang Jue asked the rest of the people to form a circle facing the periphery, so as to keep an eye on the stalking corpses, while he and Shen Ye came to the center of the stone couch.On the stone couch like a bed, a jade pillow on it is particularly conspicuous, just like its shattering, just like the destruction of the body of the ancient Dian kingdom lord.

But it turned out that on the stone couch, except for the funeral objects, the owner's body was nowhere to be seen.The blankets on the ground were very soft, but the funerary objects on them were placed in a mess, rather than placed, it was better to say that they were piled together casually, not to mention the various jade wares with missing corners and cracks.It seems that although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed the ancient Dian king to have funerary objects, he was not generous with the way of handling the corpse and the funerary objects.

Huang Jue squatted down, and began to look through the funerary objects without hesitation. What he was looking for was a bit special. If the corpse was still there, it would be fine, as long as it was taken directly from its face, but if it was destroyed at the same time as the corpse, Then all their hard work will be in vain!

Shen Ye was not in a hurry to search, but was just looking for traces on the stone couch. This stone couch was engraved with patterns of various beasts. Different birds and beasts galloped and leaped around the center where the corpse was originally placed. In addition, there are also many flowers and plants depicted, the colors are still bright, and there are many categories.

The sound of "ding ding" jade knocking kept ringing, Huang Jue searched for these artifacts, his face became more and more unhappy, no, no, why can't I find it!

"Boss Huang..." Xiao Zhao's call was accompanied by the obvious swallowing of saliva, "We must hurry..." Cold sweat continued to break out, and the backs of the rest of the people were faintly water-stained, and the body parts fell The voice became faster and more anxious, as if the corpses were angry and wanted to break through the restraints, so the efficiency increased by more than a little bit.

And when they saw some corpses flying in the air, their bodies, which were already sweating profusely, seemed to be in a frozen prison.

Huang Jue naturally understood that the situation was urgent, but at this moment he couldn't find what he wanted, so how could he be reconciled!

Shen Ye didn't seem to have heard the noisy voice of the corpse, he just kept looking along the patterns of the flowers and plants, and finally saw the all too familiar ring-shaped pattern of green branches behind a cluster of unknown flowers and plants .

That was the logo of Liuyue City, so he naturally wouldn't admit it.

Finally found.Shen Ye couldn't help showing a smile, stepped forward and squatted down quickly, pressed the circle of patterns, but stretched out his hand and cut his finger, the bright red blood condensed from the tiny wound, and soon gathered and dripped to the ground , and the drop of blood happened to drip on the pattern impartially.

The author has something to say: In fact, the princess will never use dragons, the Central Plains area is still very particular ╮(╯▽╰)╭
