The bronze box was used by the Koreans to hold the Xiantai pillars before, and was given to Ye Yufu by Zhao Huaizhong for use.
He opened the copper box, and a gloomy aura came out.
The sealed space in the box is not small, but it cannot contain living things like swallowing an empty gourd. There is a rusty bronze book inside.
The slips were spread out. There were many patterns on them, but no writing. It was a picture scroll formed by copper slips.
In addition, there are three things in the box, a round tripod, a short spear and a bronze mask, all of which have a chilly aura.
"Where did these things come from, and the yin energy is so strong?" Zhao Huaizhong asked.
"Some time ago, a tomb buried deep under the Cangshan Mountain was found in the mansion. Mu Qingkong took people to open the tomb and got it." Baiyao said.
Digging tombs is a profession that has existed since ancient times.
Kings of all dynasties have gone to great lengths to build large tombs, digging deep and hiding them, with countless mechanisms. One of the main reasons is to prevent theft.
Ye Yu Mansion has always had a team to excavate tombs, which can increase the expenses of the mansion.
Secondly, there are many cultivation techniques, and the secrets of heaven and earth from long ago are also buried in tombs, from which many historical contexts about more distant periods can be unearthed.
Mu Qingkong has learned the Great Five Ghosts and Yamas technique, which allows him to enter the underworld at night and communicate with ghosts. Therefore, there is no need to light wax at all, and it is perfect for digging and opening graves.
He is mostly in charge of the team that opens tombs in the mansion.
What the national team is doing cannot actually be called tomb robbing, but archeology, and they are excavating wealth that belongs to all mankind.
The items in the copper box at this time were the artifacts that Mu Qingkong and his men retrieved from a certain tomb.
Zhao Huaizhong stretched out his hand and wiped it, and the saint's power circulated, eliminating the sinister aura nourished by the Yin Ling earth's energy on the artifact, and then picked it up to take a closer look.
The bronze slips stored in the box increased in size to two feet square after being taken out.
The copper slips are connected in series with animal sinews, which will last for a long time without damage.
The copper scroll is unrolled.
What is described in the brief book is a huge and magnificent palace. Deep in the palace, there is a large square cauldron and two hanging ancient bells. In the center, there is a powerful armor and a woman with an vivid appearance.
image.
What's weird is that there are several fairy tails under this woman's skirt, which are faintly exposed.
She held a coffin with one hand and her eyes were scarlet.
The scene suddenly became eerie and strange, filled with an evil and vicious atmosphere.
Zhao Huaizhong looked at the content on the bronze slip: "The palace depicted here is the Secret Palace of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."
"Exactly."
Fan Qingzhou said: "We have made a simple comparison and found that the copper slips from the Cangshan underground tomb depict the scene in the secret palace of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."
"Weichen judged that the owner of Cangshan Tomb may have participated in the construction of the Yin and Shang Secret Palace during his lifetime, so he knew something about it."
"The ancient bells, cauldrons, and armors depicted on the copper slips are consistent with some ancient records from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They are obviously the funerary objects buried in the secret palace following the destruction of the Yin and Shang dynasties.
The tripod in the bronze scroll scroll has various birds and animals on the four walls, as well as scenes of ancient ancestors hunting, which is consistent with the legendary Yin and Shang tripod.
Ancient bells and armor are occasionally mentioned in some ancient books, and they are all valuable ancient artifacts from the Yin and Shang Dynasties..."
"Beside the coffin on this bronze slip, there is a female demon standing, which obviously refers to Shang Zhou, the last monarch of the Great Shang Dynasty, and the fox demon who deceived him into subjugating his country."
During the conversation, Zhao Huaizhong put the copper slips back into the bronze box.
The other items in the box are all magical tools that can be used to offer sacrifices to the altar.
After Zhao Huaizhong had seen the items in the box, Baiyao, Fan Qingzhou began to report other things:
"The government has recently conducted surveys in various places and found that as the evil threat spreads, some sect forces that have been hidden from the world have appeared one after another.
In ancient times, inheritances such as Butian Sect and Chaos Dao Sect, which have been circulated but rarely showed traces, appeared one after another, and their successors traveled around the world."
"In addition to these sects, there are also many sects with long inheritance, and some people have also shown traces."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded slightly. In recent years, the atmosphere of heaven and earth has changed. Some secluded sects have come into contact with all living beings, which is related to their respective practices.
The Ji family and other ancient clans also gradually showed their traces during this period.
In a time of great strife and chaos, from another perspective, it is also an opportunity.
Ambitious and capable people or forces will be born in order to develop and expand.
Baiyao added: "In addition, the government has been tracking the traces of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng.
His whereabouts are a mystery. He has been missing for several months and has never returned to Zhao.
But our spies lurking in Zhaoren's Handan are secretly paying attention to Pingyuan Jun's Mansion, and they have discovered some abnormalities in the past few days."
He added: "Your Majesty, you can open the No. 6 mirror and you will know at a glance."
Last time, Lao Sikong brought six mirrors imitating bone mirrors.
Zhao Huaizhong gave them all to Ye Yufu for use.
The six imitation secondary mirrors, plus the original one, make a total of seven secondary mirrors, corresponding to the numbers from one to seven.
There are generals in the government who will take it with them when they go on missions to facilitate communication.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong took out the main mirror of the bone mirror and saw that its surface was slowly shaking, creating a scene like water waves reflecting.
"Second Mirror No. 6 was taken away by Pei Yu. After receiving the news, he sneaked into the Kingdom of Zhao and has been following the guests of Lord Pingyuan's Mansion these days."
During the Warring States Period, the powerful class kept retainers in their houses as a reflection of their power.
The powerful and powerful people in all countries have the habit of raising scholars.
Lord Pingyuan has always had great prestige, with many defectors and thousands of followers.
Pei Yu's voice appeared in the bone mirror:
"Your Majesty, two deputy historians, after I sneaked into Handan, Zhao's territory, I secretly monitored Pingyuan Jun's mansion.
A few days ago, Zhang Song, Lu Xiu and others, famous people in his mansion, left the mansion together, and his subordinates are following these two people."
The picture in the bone mirror changed, reflecting a mountain col in a barren mountainous area.
Pei Yu was hiding somewhere, and the bone mirror he was holding was a perspective looking down from mid-air.
The mirror reflected a small team of seven or eight people, each on horseback, wearing black robes and with black masks covering their heads.
The whole team behaves mysteriously.
They are resting in the mountain col.
Strangely, the mountain col where they stayed was filled with a black mist.
The mist flows as if it is alive.
After a while, the team got on their horses again and galloped away quickly, and the black energy disappeared.
The picture in the bone mirror was shaking, and Pei Yu then came to the mountain col where the team had just stopped to investigate the situation.
In the mirror, I heard Pei Yu's voice coming out again:
"After Zhang Song, Lu Xiu and others left Pingyuan Jun's Mansion, they headed east, traveling day and night, and now they were approaching the border of Zhao Kingdom.
This is not far from Jiyang, the important border defense town in the Zhao Kingdom. If you go further, you will enter the junction area of Yan, Zhao and Qi, and it is not far from the Wei Kingdom."
Pei Yu bundled the sound into a line and sent it into the mirror.
And in the picture of the bone mirror he held, a very strange scene appeared.
The mountain col where the team was just now was in deathly silence, and the trees and grass had all withered.
There were rat holes and ant nests on the ground, and all the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in them died without exception.
These plants, trees, and animals seemed to have been drained of their vitality by something, and their bodies were shriveled without any moisture.
When the wind blew, a big tree in the mountain col was blown away by the wind. In a blink of an eye, it collapsed and disappeared, with dust flying into the air.
"What is it? Even the vitality contained in the vegetation has been extracted and withered into ashes."
Fan Qingzhou and Baiyao were standing next to Zhao Huaizhong, watching the scene in the mirror.
At this time, another figure appeared on the screen, but it was Yin Wugou, the head of the Sixteenth Night Emperor's Palace, who was tracking with Pei Yu.
He was checking the traces on the ground with a solemn expression: "It's that kind of black gas. Everything in the place it covers is dead."
After Pei and Yu checked it, they began to continue tracking.
The picture in the mirror also disappeared.
"A visitor from Pingyuan Jun's Mansion, why are you going to the Zhao border?"
"At the junction of Zhao Ren and Qi Yan, there is still a confrontation at this moment."
Baiyao pondered: "Maybe it has something to do with the war between several countries."
A few months ago, the five-nation alliance failed and turned to attack Qi.
Later, when Qin destroyed Han, the world was shocked, and the Five Kingdoms' attack on Qin was shelved.
However, not all the coalition forces of several countries have retreated, and some soldiers are still at the Qiren border. At this time, fighting still occurs, but the scale is no longer large.
"In my opinion, the fact that Pingyuan Junfu's guests went to the Zhao border has little to do with the fact that several countries are still at war with the Qi people, but it must have something to do with that weird black energy..." Fan Qingzhou said.
Zhao Huaizhong, Baiyao, and Fan Qingzhou all felt that something was unusual.
Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng disappeared for several months, which may also be related to the strange behavior of his guests at this time.
After Baiyao and the two left, Zhao Huaizhong returned to Wuying Hall in the evening.
At night, after Jiang Shu fell asleep, he suddenly felt his heart throbbing, so he got out of bed, went to the study room of Wuying Hall, and took out the bone mirror.
Turquoise mana ripples on the mirror surface.
The fluctuation in the mind just now was due to the message sent from this ancient mirror that had been sacrificed.
Zhao Huaizhong opened it, and the picture passed by Pei Yu appeared in the mirror again, showing the scene on the other side.
"Where are you now?" Zhao Huaizhong asked Pei Yu.
"The Jade City on the border of the Yan people is adjacent to Qi!" Pei Yu's voice was hoarse, and he was obviously very uneasy.
