Chapter Thirty-Four: Offering the High Priest to the King
The eagle owl is so big that it cannot be stewed in one pot.
It was noon at this time, and with such a big eagle owl in front of us, we naturally couldn't waste it.
After thanking nature for the gift, everyone in Xiling moved the carcass of the eagle owl to a place where the angry chicken could not see it, and then began to pluck out the feathers and remove the internal organs in order to take care of the angry chicken.
After all, they are both poultry, so it would not be good to disembowel an eagle owl in front of an angry chicken.
In fact, they think too much.
Birds will also hunt each other. As long as they don't kill chickens in front of Nuqing Chicken, other birds and Nuqing Chicken won't care.
After spending a lot of time, Kunlun impaled the whole eagle owl on a whittled wooden stake and put it on the grill.
Others dug pits to set up pots for cooking, and the branches used for the fire were ready-made big banyan tree trunks.
After a while, the aroma of barbecue began to spread.
With a large number of people and sufficient ammunition, there is no fear that the smell of barbecue will attract other beasts.
If you dare to come, it will be delivered to your door!
Luo Xiaoliu arranged for a group of soldiers to guard the perimeter. The people at Xiling were not only cooking but also clearing branches.
In Chen Yulou's words, as the center of the water dragon's halo, there should be something special besides the big banyan tree.
It has to be said that as the leader of Xiling, Chen Yulou still has something to offer.
He really got it right.
"Commander, come and take a look. The tree trunk seems to be dripping with blood."
A person from Xiling discovered something unusual and reported it immediately.
Chen Yulou stepped forward to take a look and found a person touching an unknown red liquid with his hand. He immediately shouted: "Don't touch it."
This is near the tomb of King Xian, or where the water dragon halo's formation is. I don't know what's weird about it, so be careful and you won't make any big mistakes.
Everyone stepped aside, and Chen Yulou looked at Wang Ye: "Taoist Master Wang, look..."
Wang Ye said: "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after dinner and ask people to stay away from the banyan tree."
Of course he knew that there was a blood jade coffin hidden in the big banyan tree, and inside the coffin lay the high priest who offered sacrifices to the king.
But this thing is a bit disgusting. If you dig the coffin first, it will affect your appetite.
Don't panic when something happens, the Blood Jade Coffin is there and you can't escape. It's the same if you go there after you've eaten and drank enough.
Seeing that Wang Ye was so calm, Chen Yulou immediately ordered the brothers in Xiling to follow the instructions. At the same time, he asked several people to keep an eye on the big banyan tree from a distance. If anything unusual happened, report it immediately.
After eating the eagle owl meat and recuperating, Wang Ye slowly stood up and walked towards the big banyan tree.
Arriving in front of the couple's tree, Wang Ye used a wild horse style to part the mane. He heard a loud roar, and the two large banyan trees that were originally tightly intertwined suddenly split from the middle.
At this time, only the main pole of the big banyan tree was left for the couple. When it fell down on both sides, a red coffin and many skeletons fell out of the hollow trunk.
Putting aside the animal bones for now, the coffin looks like jade or crystal, extremely shiny, and looks a bit like bloodstone, reflecting a faint halo under the sunlight.
There is a thin layer of milky white substance on the outside of the coffin, but the coffin lid seems to have been cracked by the previous shell, and some red substance is seeping out, as if it is dripping blood.
"It's unheard of to hide a coffin in a tree. How come there are so many bones?!"
Chen Yulou looked surprised.
Since ancient times, when building tombs, people have attached great importance to having a seal and a tree. The tree serves as a symbol of the tomb. It is built in front of the mound to make the layout of the mausoleum look like a blessing to future generations.
Old trees are the first of the five hazards to the underworld. Usually, there are old trees, single hills, broken streams, bare ridges, and rocks near the tomb. They are all in bad shape and should not be buried.
The old trees will steal the wind and energy, which is definitely not a good thing for the tomb owner.
Not to mention using trees as graves, which completely violates the theory of Feng Shui form!
However, this transparent jade coffin is indeed rare, but what is the liquid flowing out of it?
Is it really blood?
Why are those bones in the tree?
A series of questions appeared in everyone's mind, and their eyes all turned to Wang Ye in unison.
Luo Xiaoliu held the coffin on his head and said, "It's really extravagant to use such a big piece of jade as a coffin. Couldn't it contain the King Xian?"
Obviously, poverty limited his imagination.
Wang Ye said: "Of course not. This jade coffin is an accompaniment to the main tomb and occupies one of the star positions in the sky. It is indeed a treasure. Unfortunately, it cracked. The liquid in it is harmful. Please do not touch it."
In the team, Wang Ye has already controlled the absolute right to speak, and no one will question what he says.
"Pailing, so to speak, King Xian's tomb is nearby!"
Partridge Whistle's eyes lit up, and when he thought about finding Muchen Bead, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Upon closer inspection, Partridge Whistle found that the jade coffin was carved with patterns of mandarin ducks, rabbits, cranes, deer and other animals, and he got to know some of the strange beasts that symbolize auspiciousness and spirituality.
From the point of view of the knife work, it is simple and lively, gorgeous but not deep. In terms of style, it is close to the simple style of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Judging from this, there is no doubt that it is an accompanying mausoleum to the king's tomb.
"Crack! Click!"
At this moment, the blood jade coffin made a sound like grinding teeth.
At the same time, a ray of bad luck drifted past, blocking the sunlight, and bursts of muffled thunder sounded in the sky.
An ominous atmosphere filled the air.
Luo Xiaoliu said nervously: "What's going on? Did you fake the corpse?"
"Everyone, please step aside first."
Wang Ye stood at the front and saw the blood jade coffin shake a few times, the lid of the coffin broke and was pushed down by the force from the inside out.
Immediately afterwards, globs of black and reddish-purple liquid spread quickly toward the crowd like plants.
This thing looks like it has blood-red veins that want to suck human flesh and blood.
This is the weird part of the art of 狗. The blood jade coffin, the couple's big banyan tree and the red blood thread form a symbiotic relationship.
These blood lines will pierce the animal's human body, suck out its blood, and then conduct it into the corpse in the blood jade coffin, keeping the corpse incorruptible for thousands of years.
The bones of those animals and people will become nutrients for the couple's big banyan tree.
Until the situation of water dragon halo is broken, basically no other parasitic plants can survive on the big banyan tree.
Facing the oncoming bloodline, Wang Ye stood still.
"Li Zi - Chi Lian!"
Li Huo turned into a flaming python and attacked the blood line. In an instant, he burned the blood line and then sank into the blood jade coffin.
"Ho~"
A roar like a beast sounded, blood splashed everywhere, the flames were extinguished, and an old man was revealed.
The old man had a horse-like face, as if he were a stranger, with white eyebrows and beard, and a bun on his head. He was completely naked, his body was slightly red, and from the shoulders down, he was wrapped around a giant python that had been skinned.
The python meat was still beating regularly, and the muscles and veins were clearly visible, making it look extremely weird.
The blood line before was grown from the python.
This old man was the high priest of King Xian. Before being buried with him, he used a vicious evil technique to fuse his own body with that of a python, and then parasitized his soul on the big banyan tree of the couple in an attempt to turn their bodies into immortals.
They never thought that the big banyan tree where the couple lived would be bombed by mortars, and they had to return to the physical body.
As a result, the blood jade coffin was pulled out, and the other party was preparing to burn the body. It was really unbearable!
