The reason why Master Shigong and Ji Limo thought this was the main tomb was because it was the largest tomb they had seen. What shocked them was not the size of the tomb, but the fact that the coffin was suspended in mid-air.
It turns out that the coffin was hung in mid-air with iron chains, which looked very strange. Why was the perfectly fine coffin suspended in mid-air? Could it be that the coffin couldn't be lowered into the ground?
"Master, is this the owner of the tomb?" Ji Limo also asked with some confusion.
"To be honest, this is the first time I have seen this coffin hanging in mid-air," the master said.
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and carefully observed the carvings on the coffin. There was a nine-headed dragon on it, because this dragon only had one body, but nine heads. The dragon heads looked very uncomfortable, giving people a sense of
Depressed feeling.
At this time, Ji Limo said: "I have heard that some tribesmen will hang coffins on the cliff, but I have never heard that the coffins will be hung in mid-air in the tomb."
"Look at the patterns carved on the coffin, there is something wrong." The master said.
After listening to his master's words, Ji Limo looked at the pattern of the coffin carefully. Indeed, the dragon head on the coffin seemed to be under a curse. After looking at it for a while, he felt a depressing feeling. Moreover, the dragon head looked very special.
It's so ferocious that it looks like it's about to eat people.
"What's going on? Is the dragon on this coffin going to become a spirit?" Ji Limo took a step back and said.
"It seems that the main tomb was what the villagers found after they came in. If the villagers got sick because they were robbing the tomb, the most likely cause was corpse poison. But the appearance of the coffin really didn't look like anyone was there.
Moved. If the villagers on the mural were really ordinary villagers, they wouldn't be so realistic in the painting. It seems that they didn't know what they took away from the owner of the tomb, and it was very likely that they were contaminated with corpse poison. They may have mistakenly
I think the tomb owner is seeking revenge, so he sent a woman to be the bride of the tomb owner. Of course, even if they wanted to open the coffin, they probably wouldn't have the guts," the master said slowly.
If you think about it carefully, you can see that those people are indeed very courageous. They may have taken something and want to open the coffin. Just to open the coffin, they have to untie the iron chain that is thicker than their wrist. Maybe
No one would agree, so the coffin was not opened.
"Master, what are your plans? Do you want to open the coffin?" Ji Limo asked.
The master shook his head and said: "If we can get out, there is no need to open the coffin. The deceased has passed away. Although we don't know his origin, it is us who disturbed him after all. I have no such plan unless it is absolutely necessary."
The master said it was a last resort, that is, when he needed to save someone. Therefore, if he and Ji Limo were not in any danger, he would never touch someone else's coffin.
However, of course he was also a little curious as to why the coffins were placed like this.
"Anyway, we have already come in, so let's first find out what it is that makes them so obsessed." Ji Limo said.
The patriarch and those before him want to come in, and naturally not just one of them wants to go in and take a look. Even they are very curious about what the patriarch and the others want to get. Moreover, the patriarch has not made any movement so far.
This made them even more confused.
The master nodded and looked around, but his eyes were still attracted by the patterns on the coffin.
After the master saw the pattern, he pointed at it and said to Ji Limo: "Come and take a look. No wonder those people sent a woman in."
Ji Limo listened to his master's words and hurriedly got in front of him to look at the patterns carved on the coffin. It turned out that in addition to the most conspicuous nine-headed dragon, there were also many things carved on the coffin. The carvings here were like those in the main hall outside.
The murals are engraved with what happened in the past.
In fact, the origin of the owner of the tomb is not explained clearly on the wall painting outside, and the pattern on the hanging coffin is not very clear either.
The owner of the tomb was a member of the royal family. He was suffering from an incurable disease, and the imperial doctors were at a loss. They had no choice but to use many folk remedies and even invited famous Taoist priests to the palace. Unfortunately, not only was the disease not cured, the owner of the tomb was also
He went crazy. The people who were injured by the owner of the tomb also went crazy after a few hours, biting people everywhere. In the end, the guards guarding the owner of the tomb had no choice but to kill all the injured brothers.
Already.
However, he knew that the owner of the tomb would go crazy from time to time, so he had no choice but to tie him to the bed.
But the situation of the tomb owner was no longer under his control, because the tomb owner's face had turned blue-black, and his nails were growing crazily. In the end, the tomb owner broke free from the rope and wanted to leave, but naturally his personal guard would not
He asked the owner to leave, so the two men fought. The guard was quickly injured and became increasingly no match for the owner of the tomb. Finally, the Taoist priest appeared and used a talisman to suppress the owner of the tomb.
Finally, the guard followed the Taoist priest's instructions and buried the owner of the tomb in this place. The guard also discovered that he was injured, and seeing that he was gradually losing his mind, he buried the owner of the tomb directly. He knew that the owner of the tomb was actually
He was still alive, but he couldn't let the owner of the tomb come out to harm others. So, after arranging everything, he committed suicide in front of the tomb owner's tomb.
After the master and Ji Limo read it, they took a deep breath. Sure enough, the death of the tomb owner was a bit strange.
This carving told them that the owner of the tomb seemed to be infected with corpse poison, but how could he be infected with corpse poison for no reason? How did he cure himself after a serious illness before? The appearance of the Taoist priest made them a little confused.
The owner of the tomb was just seriously ill, so why did he invite a Taoist priest to visit him?
"Did the person who sent the woman into the ancient tomb also see this painting?" Ji Limo murmured.
"This painting is too simple. I'm afraid the real situation is more serious. I suspect that the tomb owner was infected with corpse poison from the beginning, and the imperial doctor didn't know how to cure this poison. When he was helpless, he had to invite a Taoist priest to visit.
I think the personal bodyguards of the owner of the tomb should be well aware of this." The master said as if he had seen through everything.
Ji Limo was still puzzled, so she could only look at her master and ask, "Were you infected with corpse poison in the first place?"
"This painting only says that the owner of the tomb is from the royal family and lives in the palace. If you link his illness together, you will find the problem. Although the owner of the tomb is from the royal family, I am afraid his biggest hobby is tomb robbing. I don't know why.
, he was infected with corpse poison when he went to the tomb, so when he came back, he saw that the doctor could not cure him, so he had to ask the Taoist priest for help. They seemed to place all their hopes on the Taoist priest, hoping that the Taoist priest could cure the tomb owner. But the tomb owner was probably
The corpse poison attacks the heart, and the Taoist priest is powerless. Of course, these are all my guesses, and I am not sure whether this is the case. Moreover, the nine-headed dragon for no reason makes people even more confused, who is the owner of the tomb?
?" the master said speculatively.
The master was right. Who was the owner of the tomb? He had never heard of such a person in this world for nearly a hundred years. Of course, as a member of the royal family who robbed a tomb, he did need to conceal it.
"I understand what the master meant. That is to say, the tomb owner was poisoned by corpse poison when he went to the tomb for the last time, and these imperial doctors were unable to do anything. When there was no other way, they approached the Taoist priest. But the Taoist priest
It was too late to find out. The corpse poison attacks the heart very seriously. If it is not controlled in time, the owner of the tomb may... However, the guards injured by the owner of the tomb have already begun to have poisoning reactions. So, the owner of the tomb in the coffin is still alive.
Alive?" Ji Limo thought for a while and then boldly said what he was thinking.
The master shook his head and said: "I don't think it is possible. Since the Taoist priest has discovered that the matter is out of control, he will definitely try his best. Besides, as long as the sword is struck, there will be no room for the tomb owner to survive. Unless..."
The master couldn't imagine that unless the Taoist priest didn't speak, and no one struck the tomb owner's heart with a sword. The master raised his head and looked at the coffin. Could it be that the Taoist priest really just put a charm on the tomb owner's body?
But Ji Limo thought that since the coffin needed to be suspended in mid-air, it showed that the owner of the tomb was mysterious. In other words, the owner of the tomb might be who he imagined.
While the two were thinking, they saw the coffin moving on its own, and a wailing sound came from inside the coffin.
The two people stepped back at the same time, watching the coffin swing back and forth.
"This?" Ji Limo asked in surprise.
The master and Ji Limo took a step back again, worried that the coffin would break free from the chains and fall to the ground.
It lasted about a quarter of an hour, and the coffin gradually stabilized, as if nothing had happened just now.
The master frowned slightly and said, "Is our guess right?"
The two people did not waste time and quickly looked around for the traces left by the patriarch and the others. They found fingerprints on a wall, so the two people focused on this wall to find the answer.
Ji Limo knocked on the wall as a habit, and found that there was an empty piece. So, he opened the mechanism with a gentle push. A piece of stone on the wall popped out, and there was a book inside.
Ji Limo took it and handed it to the master. The master patted the dust on it before opening it and reading the contents inside.
The content in the book is not much, but it is very amazing.
It turned out that he was the youngest prince of the Dongmo Kingdom. After the fall of the Dongmo Kingdom, he did not escape together, but chose to stay. He changed his appearance and became a king with a different surname in Northern Xinjiang. But he always remembered his important responsibility, that is,
He found the secret book about immortality. It was said that the secret book was in an ancient tomb, so he took people to the tomb to search for it. Because he went to the tomb too many times, his face looked a little paler than normal. The last time
He heard that the secret book was in an ancient tomb, so he took the people down to the tomb with him. This time he did not disappoint, and he got the secret book about immortality. However, he underestimated the owner of the tomb.
When leaving, he was injured by the owner of the tomb who had turned into a zombie.
Although he obtained the secret book of immortality, he was poisoned by corpse poison. In desperation, he had to ask his bodyguard to find a Taoist priest to heal him.
The secret book of immortality was thrown into the hanging coffin by the personal guard to accompany the owner of the tomb. In other words, if you want to get the secret book of immortality, you need to open the coffin. Otherwise, there is no way to get it.
Those who wanted to break into the ancient tomb also had this plan. Unfortunately, the iron chains of the coffin were not so easy to remove, and the coffin was not so easy to put down. Therefore, they gave up.
I just didn't expect that so many people would be infected with corpse poison.
The master shook his head, everyone in the world wants to live forever, but who can really achieve it?
