Chapter 197 Kunlun Fog Stone(1/2)
The so-called inheritance place is not as splendid and mysterious as imagined.
In fact, this is a cellar that is only ten square meters in size at most.
After passing dozens of steps, a thick puff of sulfur dioxide hit my face, and black smoke billowed inside, as if it was on fire. It must be that the man who suffered a thousand cuts in Ma Liuzhi did not extinguish the kerosene lamp before leaving.
There is no ventilation, so after burning for a long time, the air will naturally become extremely polluted.
I just took a cursory glance here, then hurriedly backed out, waiting until the thick smoke inside was almost gone before I got in again.
Although the heritage site is small and simple, the building specifications are actually quite high.
I took a picture of the four walls. They were very thick. They should have been built with rocks taken from the mountains. During the construction process, lime mortar and mud were used to fill the gaps, and then the inner and outer walls were wrapped with green bricks to thicken them.
The loess and pebbles are filled in and finally compacted into layers to form a wall.
This wall-building method was generally used to ram city walls in ancient times. Now we see that most of the city walls between Shanhaiguan and Juyongguan were built using this method. It can be regarded as the pinnacle of ancient construction technology. When the Qing army entered
The pass is actually equipped with artillery, but there is nothing to do with these walls. If the Ming Dynasty was not troubled by internal and external troubles, Chongzhen beheaded Yuan Chonghuan, and Wu Sangui opened the door to let the Qing army enter the pass. It is still unclear whether the Qing army could have easily crossed Shanhaiguan in the end.
.
Modern people have done experiments and found that city walls built with this construction method are difficult to destroy even with some modern artillery. Of course, if you want to argue with me about the sacred caliber of 152, then pretend that I didn't say anything.
What kind of tomb robber drives a heavy tank to rob tombs?
Once this kind of wall structure appears in a tomb, tomb robbers can basically just stare at it and cannot destroy it violently unless they find the right way to enter.
It can be seen how much the ancestors of the Ran people attached great importance to this place.
In the dark room, the furnishings are simple. A crystal clear bed is placed in the middle. The color is warm and moist. It should be made of beautiful jade. Its value is probably inestimable. At the head of the bed, there is a bed covered with iron sheets.
The wooden box was extremely heavy. There was a long lock made of fine steel hanging on the wooden box. I recognized it at a glance. This lock should be a chain lock, which can also be regarded as a kind of machine lock. The internal reed structure is very complex, divided into
There are several sections, each section is a lock. To open it, you need to open all the locks inside. Fortunately, Ma Liuzhi was in a hurry when he left, probably thinking that no one can enter here, so the chain lock is
open...
I glanced around, and my eyes finally landed on this jade bed, which was covered with white mist. I thought it must be that the smoke in the dark room had not dissipated, so I didn't think much and walked closer to it step by step. This should be about...
Ma Liuzhi is the bed where his fortune and life depended. Unfortunately, apart from the expensive material, I can’t see any other differences. If Lao Bai were to come here instead, he might have to cover his heart and shout that it hurts, but I still feel that I
Its life is more important, so be prepared to destroy it directly.
"This is……"
Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice sounded in my heart, and it turned out to be Chang Yao, who had been silent for a long time. Ever since I provoked the thunder from the sky, she had fallen into silence. I had almost forgotten the existence of such a number, and now I spoke out.
, startled me, and I stopped walking, and then I heard the other party’s voice almost screaming: “Give me this thing!”
I asked in my mind: "What? This thing is important?"
Yao Yao said nonchalantly, this is the Kunlun fog stone!
Soul dwelling stone?
I was shocked. I had never seen it before and couldn't recognize it, but that didn't mean I hadn't heard of it.
There is still such a story in the world about this Kunlun fog stone.
Around the Western Han Dynasty, in the Tarim Basin, the Yuchi family established the Kingdom of Khotan. On the river bank of this country, there lived an old stonemason. By chance, the old stonemason picked up a white stone with white mist on it, which was very magical.
He then carved the stone into a lifelike jade beauty. Looking at this perfect work, the old stonemason couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if he also had such a daughter.
As a result, the jade beauty turned into a human being when she landed. The old stonemason named her Tashgul.
Later, when the old mason died, a bully coveted Tashguli's beauty, so he snatched her away and forced her to get married. Tashguli refused to die, and the bully was angry and wanted to destroy her if she couldn't get it.
In desperation, he slashed at Tashguli with his knife. As a result, a dazzling light burst out from Tashguli's body, burning the bully's house and turning into a wisp of smoke, flying up the mountain to Kunlun.
A local proverb says that it is better to be a white jade from a high mountain than a carpet in the Bayi Hall. It is believed that jade is the reincarnation of a beautiful girl.
Some people also say that the stone picked up by the old mason is mutton-fat jade.
In fact, this is not correct. Jade has nothing to do with girls. The girl in the story, in the words of our industry, is a mountain spirit. It can also be said that she is a jade spirit. The stone surrounded by white mist is not mutton-fat jade.
But Kunlun fog stone!
This kind of Kunlun mist stone is very weird, it will attract the soul to burrow into it, and then gradually nurture this soul into the jade essence inside the stone. It is very changeable and has some abilities.
These jade elves are very smart, and some big monsters and evil spirits often capture them and devour them, which can greatly increase their moral performance!
I think that Zhang Yao is interested in this bed because he wants to swallow the jade essence inside!
This kind of jade essence actually has no wisdom in itself. It is not as smart and strong as the story says. It is not within the five elements. It is actually just a very special tonic. There is no cause and effect after swallowing it. I am not disgusted with it.
It's just that it's rare to see such a legendary thing.
How this kind of thing came into being, no one knows.
From a mythological perspective, Kunlun Mountain was once the dojo of the Queen Mother of the West. People say that this thing is actually the pebbles in the Queen Mother of the West’s bath, but this is basically nonsense. People have flown into outer space and have not seen any gods. What’s more?
One theory is that Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of all mountains, a dragon court where dragon veins gather. The dragon veins intersect and merge, giving some stubborn rocks spirituality.
Anyway, there are different opinions.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Suddenly, An Ru pushed me from behind. Seeing that I had come to my senses, she breathed a sigh of relief: "What did I think was wrong with you..."
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something."
I smiled at her, and then quickly said to Zhang Yao in my heart: "I'm afraid you can't agree to your request, why should I destroy this bed to save my life?"
"Destroy it to save lives?"
Zhang Yao was a little confused. She had just woken up and didn't know what happened. But it was a long story and I couldn't explain it to her at once. She simply stopped asking more questions and focused on her.
Jade Spirit immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you destroy it, just put the wind chime on this bed before doing it..."
I could agree to this, and did as she said, then picked up the Tianguan Blade and smashed it hard on the bed.
Although the Kunlun Fog Stone looks similar to jade, it is actually not as hard as jade. Just hitting it with the Tianguan Blade will leave traces of ice cracks all over the bed.
Not long after, there was a "bang" and the entire bed completely shattered.
Seeing that this thing was finally broken, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. I had an unreal feeling. After struggling for so long, I had broken this thing. So Ma Liuzhi should be finished, right? There is also the evil spirit outside.
, it should also be scattered, right?
I picked up the wind chime and asked Zhang Yao in my heart: "Have you finished your work?"
"strangeness……"
Yan Yao muttered softly.
I noticed her doubts and asked her what was strange.
Yao Yao said softly: "The jade spirit is no longer here..."
"It makes sense."
I smiled and said: "There is someone who has been sleeping in this bed for decades, and he is also a ghost. If this is really the Kunlun fog stone, where can you find it?"
"But……"
Zhang Yao said: "If the jade essence was not there, the essence on the Kunlun fog stone would have dispersed long ago. How could there still be such a strong essence? In the end, I still gained something."
She doesn’t understand these questions, how can I understand them?
After smashing the bed, I completely relaxed, but instead of leaving in a hurry, I went to dig through the big box. After all, the legendary Yanshi Machinery Technique was likely to stay here. How could I not be interested?
There were many gold and silver jewelry in the box. I don’t know if they were left by the ancestors of the Ran clan or were looted by that bastard Ma Liuzhi. It was so full that it was so amazing. However, there was a roll of sheepskin at the bottom of the box.
The book is quite old.
This should be the so-called inheritance!
I was overjoyed and hurriedly took it out and unfolded it. It was written in small seal script from the pre-Qin period. It was a bit difficult for me to read, but I could basically identify it - this was indeed the legendary Yanshi's mechanism technique.
!
The parchment was very long, and it was filled with small characters. I took a quick glance at it, and found that it recorded at least thirty or fifty kinds of mechanical techniques, and also recorded some witchcraft. I had never heard of these mechanical techniques and witchcraft, and they were quite novel.
It is extremely valuable. To me, it is much more valuable than this box of gold and silver jewelry. The gold and silver will eventually be spent, but this thing can sometimes save my life!
Soon, a witchcraft medicine included above attracted my attention.
The name of this witch medicine is Shengjisan.
The main material used to make this witch medicine is an insect called a corpse beetle.
This kind of bug is raised from corpses.
This is what the parchment scrolls say. After the corpse rots, it seeps into the soil. The soil is dug, and the eggs of flies are buried in it. Some witchcraft supplies such as bones and plasma are added and placed in a moist place.
If you keep it in a warm place and close it for 7,749 days, a small blood-red bug will appear. This is the corpse beetle.
The corpse beetles are dried in the sun and ground into powder. Finally, some common herbs such as thistle and agrimony are added. They are placed on the ghost's body to warm them up for several months, and the muscle powder is made by itself.
This is a blood-red medicinal powder that can stop bleeding and build muscle, and the effect is surprisingly good.
It even records various symptoms after using this muscle-building powder.
These symptoms seemed so familiar to me that I couldn't help but think of the powder Anru used on my wounds on the night of my escape.
