094 The Witty Ape King

It is not difficult to observe the feng shui of the four bronze guards in the tomb, because this is the Chu King's Mausoleum, which is the best place for burial. However, Chen Wen went around the Chu King's Tomb but did not find a suitable burial location.

, a very simple reason, if the bodies of the four Bronze Guards are buried on the spot, they will be trampled by the tomb rats again. This is not what everyone wants.

Liu Qi saw that Chen Wen could not decide on the burial place for a long time, so he asked: "Brother Wen, why can't we find a burial place for the guards in the Chu King's Tomb here?"

Chen Wendao: "Sir, from Feng Shui and numerology, I deduce that the Chu King's Tomb is close to mountains, rivers and cliffs, so it is the best place for burial. However, even though the King's Tomb was protected by giant pythons, thousands of snakes and thousands of rats, it was still robbed and excavated, which shows that this

It’s not a suitable place for a burial.”

Liu Qi said: "No, the royal tomb was stolen not because of Feng Shui, but because the sword of Gou Jian, King of Yue, was buried in it."

"Sir, I say this, but it is not appropriate for the guards to be buried here. One is to avoid excessive killing here, the other is to avoid the tomb rat not letting go, and the third is to avoid tomb robbers in future generations stealing the empty tomb and venting their resentment on the guard.

corpse."

Liu Qi pondered for a moment and said, "What should we do? Or transport the bodyguard's body to Xiangyang?"

Chen Wen shook his head repeatedly: "Of course it would be best if it could be transported back to Xiangyang to be buried with the four guards of the Liu family. However, the journey back to Xiangyang is far away. I'm afraid that the corpses of the guards will have rotted into mud before reaching Xiangyang."

"Oh, that's right, I have to think of something." Liu Qi sighed softly, helpless.

The ape king at the side seemed to understand the conversation between Liu Qi and Chen Wen, and howled a few times. However, Liu Qi could not understand the ape language, and stared at the giant ape, not knowing what the ape king was talking about.

The ape king was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and scratched his fingers and legs. There was nothing he could do. Humans couldn't understand the language of the apes and couldn't communicate.

I saw the human-minded ape king suddenly suddenly became wise, stamped his giant palm, murmuring in his mouth, grabbed Liu Qi's arm with his big fluffy palm, and dragged him to the bottom of the cliff, and there was another burst of howling.

He danced and jumped, as if he was going to jump up the cliff.

Now Liu Qi understood that the cliffs were full of caves with hanging coffins. The ape king, who dared to understand human language, wanted to bury the bodies of the bronze guards in the hanging coffins.

But I saw that the tall hanging coffin was ten feet high. If the national standard length unit was measured in meters, it would be no less than thirty meters high. The smooth and steep rock wall was impossible to climb, let alone the four bronze guards.

The body was carried up into the cave. If there was a way to carry the body into the hanging coffin, it would save the world from disturbing the body and keep the body of the guard intact.

However, the Ape King's idea is good, but it is almost impossible to put it into practice.

Liu Qi picked up his feet again and patted the ape king's arm, pointed to the smooth cliff, then spread his hands and stuck out his tongue, meaning that he couldn't climb up and there was nothing he could do.

The ape king saw Liu Qi's regretful expression and stretched out his giant hand to pat Liu Qi's shoulder. This time Liu Qi was prepared and dodged slightly. He was not hit by the giant ape's palm, but saw the ape king's face turn red.

It seems that he understood that the last time he and Liu Qi were intimate and patted each other on the shoulders, they were too heavy-handed.

There was another wailing sound, and the ape king made a gesture to ask Liu Qi to wait on the spot. After a few jumps, he jumped to some big trees not far away, half-crouched down, and hugged a tree three feet wide and two or three feet wide.

A tall pine tree was heard rising from the ground with a sharp ape call. The ape king uprooted the big pine tree and lowered it to the ground with a thud.

Good guy, the giant ape is stronger at pulling out big pine trees than Lu Zhishen, the hero of the Liangshan Mountains. Pulling out trees is like pulling out radishes. After a few screams of the king of apes, several more trees fell three to five feet high.

The big pine tree in the pine forest. The apes in the pine forest shouted wildly, seeming to worship the Hercules of the ape king.

After several large pine trees fell down, the ape king stepped on the fallen pine tree and gestured to the apes several times. He bent down and picked up the pine tree and dragged it to Liu Qi who was standing under the cliff. Then a spectacular

A scene appeared. Under the command of the ape king, countless great apes lifted up several large pine trees that the ape king had uprooted and carried them toward the cliff with strange screams.

The group of great apes carried several large pine trees and marched in neat steps like warriors on an expedition. They hummed a strange tune that Liu Qi could not understand. They were very majestic.

Liu Qi saw the scene where the ape king was trying to pull out the pine, and he immediately understood the ape king's intention, which was to build a tree into a hanging coffin.

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he saw a group of apes carrying a big pine tree. When he marveled at the ape king's wit and power, he let the ape king pull out the pine. This reminded him of the plot of Lu Zhishen's novel about pulling up a weeping willow tree. Without paying attention, he happily hummed a children's song:

"Pull out the carrot, pull out the carrot, hey, hey, pull out the carrot..."

Chen Wen, who was standing next to him, heard Liu Qi humming a song for the first time and listened carefully. The lyrics were very simple. They seemed to be praising the ape king for his feat of pulling up pine trees, but the melody was very beautiful.

, is catchy and makes people feel comfortable listening to it.

In the Three Kingdoms, Chen Wen had never heard such beautiful melody. Chen Wen, who was proficient in melody, was greatly surprised. He did not expect that the young master Liu Qi would be a genius in composing music.

Little did Chen Wen know that Liu Qi was humming Chinese music that had evolved into countless stages after 1800, so Chen Wen, who was intoxicated by the beautiful rhythm of children's songs, also followed Liu Qi's tune and hummed "Hey yo hey yo pull the carrot"

stand up.

Chen Wenzheng sang so ecstatically that E Huan came over, admired it quietly, and then hummed along with the children's song about pulling out carrots, forming a small chorus of three people.

Although the children's song was beautiful, it was painful for the four living bronze guards. Their tongues were all cut out by the housekeeper and they could not hum a single word. However, they also joined Liu Qi's choir, "Pull...Pull...Pull"

..." After holding back all his strength, Di was still twisting and turning on the word "Pull out", but never pulled out the carrot.

When Liu Qi happily sang children's songs, he didn't expect that Chen Wen, E Huan and the four bronze guards also joined in the singing. He thought to himself, how could this children's song of later generations be sung in the Three Kingdoms? Wouldn't it be exposed?

A secret from time travel?

However, I saw that everyone was singing happily and seemed to be celebrating the victory over the Tomb Rats with the lead singer Liu Qi. The guards of the Three Kingdoms sang "Pull the Carrot" as a victory song. What an interesting thing.

Liu Qi simply sang loudly, the sound of plucking carrots rising and falling to the rhythm of the apes lifting trees.

When the ape king dragged the big pine tree to Liu Qi's feet, the singing stopped. Fortunately, Chen Wen, who was equally happy, did not ask about the origin of the children's song "Pull the Carrot" sung by Liu Qi. Liu Qi patted the ape king's arm with great appreciation to express his intimacy.

As expected, the ape king and his group carried the big pine tree to the cliff.

Upon seeing this, Liu Qi stopped the ape king, took out several sharp axes used for tomb robbing from a large sack, distributed them to Chen Wen and E Huan, and cut off the branches of several large pine trees, measured different sizes and then chopped down the trees.

Duan, after making preparations, Liu Qi, Chen Wen, E Huan, and the Bronze Guards worked together with the apes to erect the big pine tree. The harmonious coexistence of humans and apes reached a perfect state.

With a few big pine trees pulled down by the Ape King, things became much easier to handle.

Under Liu Qi's instructions, everyone worked together to first set up a triangular support against the cliff with three pine tree trunks more than three feet high, and then vertically erected a tree nearly five feet high on the support.

The ten-foot-high hanging coffin is still two feet short. No more pine trees can be erected, and the hanging coffin still cannot be reached.

When everyone was at a loss what to do, the ape king looked back at the group of apes, then walked to the middle of the group like a general, beat the chest of the great ape, and patted the shoulder of the other great ape.

After the ape king came back from a circle among the apes, more than twenty huge apes quickly climbed up the pine tree poles and built an ape wall on the cliff under the hanging coffin eight feet above the ground, one after another.

The great ape skillfully stepped on the shoulder of the previous great ape and climbed up, reaching the ten-foot-high hanging coffin and climbing into the cave.

Liu Qi, the ape king, bared his teeth to show his goodwill, jumped up to the pine tree pole, jumped in twos and twos, and followed the ape wall to the cave where the coffin was hung. He howled a few times at the entrance of the cave and saw the group of apes on the ground again.

Cheered.

When Liu Qi, Chen Wen and others witnessed this scene, they were very surprised. They did not expect that apes are very intelligent, and Chen Wen did not expect such a wonderful method.

Chen Wen exclaimed: "Apes are no better than ordinary people and deserve to be known as the king of the forest."

E Huan also said: "That ape's big head, even the ape king who can whistle, is so strong that I can't compare to it."

Liu Qi looked at the Ape King looking down at the entrance of the hanging coffin. He admired the Ape King's wit in his heart, but he was not happy. Although he could successfully climb up the coffin, he had to bury four bronze guards after all.

Corpse, this is not something to be happy about. If it were not for the tomb robbery trip in Jiangling, the four bronze guards would not have died so tragically from a rat attack.

Liu Qi was full of worries and his heart became heavy, and he said seriously: "General E, Brother Wen and I will check the hanging coffin first. If the guards can be buried on it, you can put the four guards up."

"Yes." E Huan noticed Liu Qi's sad expression and guessed that Liu Qi was mourning the death of the bronze guard.

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he said to Chen Wen: "Brother Wen, come up." Then he jumped to the pine tree and climbed to the ten-foot-high hanging coffin like the ape king. Chen Wen also climbed up and climbed along the ape wall.

When they reached the entrance of the hanging coffin, the ape king stretched out his huge palm and pulled Liu Qi and Chen Wen into the cave one after another.

After entering the cave, Liu Qi looked around and found that the cave was carved in the air and was in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. Except for a nanmu coffin, there was nothing else in the cave.

The cave is not big, but you can stand upright. There is a leaking ditch dug one meter from the entrance to the outside of the cave. The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the nanmu coffin has not decayed or deformed for hundreds of years.

Liu Qi walked around the nanmu coffin and found that the nanmu coffin had a tight lid. The four sides were carved with some totems worshiped by the ancients, such as elephants, cows, snakes, frogs, etc., as well as eight traditional Chinese characters that were difficult to debate. Liu Qi

In my impression, the eight characters on the Nanshan coffin are a bit like "live as long as Nanshan, and be as blessed as the East China Sea."

The wood used to make the coffin is high-quality nanmu, which is extremely precious and cannot be used by ordinary scholar-bureaucrat families. Even if they can afford it, they may not have the status to use it. From this, it can be concluded that this hanging coffin must be a royal tomb coffin, and the hanging coffin must be a royal tomb coffin.

The underground tombs below must be royal tombs, either for the king of Chu or for a prince, general or relative of the king of Chu.

Liu Qi speculated on the hanging coffin and concluded that the underground tomb near the pool was the Chu King's Tomb. As long as the Chu King's Tomb was excavated, the world's best sword, Yue King Gou Jian's Sword, would be ready to be revealed.
