Chapter 307: Bixi? Pepper picture!
"Master Chen, what is this?" Hu Bayi asked in surprise.
He is a little down now and wants a reasonable explanation, such as the identity of this weird creature.
“What is this big bug?” Compared to Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan was more direct.
The main body of Tai Suixu looks like an enlarged version of silkworm, so he naturally mistook it for a bug.
Chen Ziyan quickly took out the sealed bag from his backpack and put the unresisting Tai Suixu in it, and then said: "This is not a bug, this thing is called Tai Suixu."
"Tai Suixu?" Ding After Sitian heard the name, she looked at Tai Suisu, who was constantly squirming in the sealed bag, with a look of shock.
“I have read about Tai Sui Xu in an ancient book before, but isn’t Tai Sui Xu like a tree root? And I remember that the color is not like this?”
Familiar with pharmacology She is more familiar with this aspect than others, so she also knows about Tai Suixu's existence.
One thing is that if Chen Ziyan hadn't said this name, she would have been like Wang Kaixuan and thought it was some kind of insect.
Chen Ziyan knew that Ding Sitian was imprisoned by stereotypes like himself, so he said: "Sometimes it is better to believe in books than to have no books at all. Many things still need to be seen to be believed."
He didn't have much confidence. Concerned about this, Chen Ziyan is more willing to believe in his own inheritance than the ancient books mentioned by Ding Sitian.
And now that the actual case is in front of us, it is clear whether the roots are still insects.
Shirley Yang looked at the Tai Sui Xu in the sealed bag, and then asked curiously: "Is this a plant or a living thing?"
"Strictly speaking, this thing is not a plant or a living thing. The fourth life form of animals and non-fungi may look like insects, but in fact those red flesh threads are the same thing, composed of spores, hyphae and other things." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
"So... this is an aggregate of fungi?" Shirley Yang frowned slightly and paused for a few seconds to figure out what Chen Ziyan said.
She felt as if she had touched something, but she did not catch the fleeting inspiration in time.
"What should we do with these?" After thinking for a while without any results, Shirley Yang set her sights on the red flesh lines gathering under her feet.
The vitality of this thing cannot be described as exuberant. It was scattered on the ground just now, but now it is 'alive' again.
"We have to put these things away too." This was what Ding Sitian said.
She had already figured it out, and figured out Chen Ziyan's plan by the way, so she already had the answer in her heart as to how to arrange these red flesh lines.
If the main body of Tai Suisu had not been caught, these red flesh lines would be useless to them, but now that the main body has been caught, these are real treasures.
But considering the way Tai Suisu was used, Ding Sitian did not explain it. After speaking, she took the lead in bending down to collect it.
Although the others were very curious, seeing Ding Sitian’s attitude they didn’t say anything more, and they all took out their sealed bags and started collecting them.
Fortunately, their protective clothing has withstood the test. Although reaching out directly to grab it will make you feel a little uncomfortable, it is still within the acceptable range.
Because the main body of Tai Sui Xu was in Chen Ziyan's hands, these red flesh lines were all gathering together at this time, which greatly facilitated their collection operations.
Since all the red meat threads were delivered to the door by themselves, they quickly put all the red meat threads on the ground into sealed bags.
Although these red flesh threads look like a lot, spread out like a large carpet, the actual size is not that exaggerated, and they are all collected in just a few sealed bags.
After doing this, they came to the jade coffin. Now that all the threats here have been dealt with, it is the final moment.
Wang Kaixuan immediately circled the jade coffin twice. After he was sure that it was not damaged by the thunder, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay! It's okay!"
After the violent attack just now, he would really not be able to rest assured if he didn't check it at close range.
Everyone knew this guy’s temperament, so they didn’t pay attention to his useless behavior.
Hu Bayi focused more on the hole he just fell into. After taking a flashlight and taking a look inside, he turned to Chen Ziyan and asked:
"Master Chen, What do you think the Namose code is about? "
This is an unsolved doubt in his mind. Although there are many strange things he has encountered so far, none of them can explain this.
"Maybe it's the mummy." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
Now there are some things that cannot be copied mechanically from what he remembers, so the answer he gave was a judgment he made based on the actual situation.
Although it seems possible that it is either the corpse in the jade coffin or the captured Tai Suisu, Chen Ziyan feels that the Morse code has nothing to do with the two.
His basis is also very simple, that is, even if these two can cast ghost signals, they do not understand Morse code.
“Mummy?” Hu Ba suddenly turned around and looked at the wreckage not far away, a little unconvinced by this statement.
This mummy appeared twice in total from beginning to end, but it didn't show any specialness at all. Especially this time, it was just a puppet created by Tai Suisu.
How can I put it this way? It doesn’t have the personality it should have at all.
Others also had the same look. Although they were willing to believe Chen Ziyan, they really had doubts about this statement.
Chen Ziyan naturally saw everyone's expressions, but he didn't care. Instead, he said: "It's not accurate to say it's a mummy. Maybe it's more appropriate to describe it as the ghost of this mummy."
In fact, he didn't like this mummy, after all, it was a real scumbag.
"The ghost of the mummy?" This statement aroused the interest of Shirley Yang, and she asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
Although Chen Ziyan has been acting very magical, she does not think that the other party can see it. Ghosts are insubstantial things.
Chen Ziyan expressed his guess: "The reason why I say this is because Morse code has limitations. Among the things entrenched here, only the ghost of this mummy understands this."< br>
We can't put the blame on Tai Suixu. It would be better to put it on the corpse in the jade coffin.
Hu Bayi thought about it and nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."
They don't have any yin and yang eyes. Even if a ghost is wandering around, they can't see anything.
He also meant to end the topic when he said this. Anyway, there is no way to prove it, so there is no need to discuss it too much. It is just a futile waste of time.
Chen Ziyan can understand Hu Bayi's thoughts and agrees with him.
Rumble-but just when he was about to say something, a series of deafening roars sounded, and the ground shook at the same time. This made several people ignore too much observation and quickly left the area. area.
When they looked back, they saw that the split tree body had crashed to the ground, and the jade coffin in the tree body also fell to the ground.
But no one had the intention to pay attention to this at this moment, because as the couple's banyan tree fell, its huge root system, which was far greater than the crown of the tree, also broke away from the soil, trapping a stone inside. The object was brought out.
"What is that?" Wang Kaixuan asked, pointing to the thing in the root of the tree.
“Is this Bixi?” Hu Ba Ding looked at it and said with some uncertainty.
After everything calmed down, several people came over to take a look.
I saw this stone turtle brought up from the ground with its head held high, its tail flexed and extended, and its four feet on the ground in a prostrate posture, but it had a certain grace of its own.
The raised tortoise shell is carved with a cloud base, and there is a short stele on it. This short stele stands on the cloud base.
“Wait!”
Just when a few people wanted to get closer, Chen Zi extended his hand to stop them.
Before he could explain, he saw a burst of black energy suddenly coming out from under Bi Xi.
This black energy shot straight into the sky, and it took a while before it completely dissipated.
As this black air disappeared, the remaining dark clouds in the sky also completely dispersed.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion when they saw this, but it was difficult to explain this phenomenon, so they could only look at the stone statue as if nothing happened.
“Good guy, does this big pig weigh several thousand kilograms?” Wang Kaixuan was amazed after seeing the whole picture of the pig.
"Lao Hu, I remember when we first went to Tai'an to connect, the ones we saw in Nadai Temple were not that big. Gee, these are ancient relics from thousands of years ago, although it is difficult to get them back. , but it’s definitely worth a lot of money!”
This fat man can be said to be very good at what he does, and he always talks about the price.
Hearing this, Hu Bayi laughed and said: "Fat man, I think you have a problem with your aesthetics. Why do you think big is good? You don't even think about how big this thing is. Even if you get it back, there will probably be no one." Who can afford this thing if you know how to buy it?”
Wang Kaixuan disagreed and said, “That’s because you don’t understand the current economic situation, and you keep claiming that your ancestors are wealthy. As for him, I think he is just a rich man who has never seen the world. Nowadays, thousands of acres of fertile land are nothing. Rich people have big houses, but they still can’t spare this little space?”
Then the guy rolled his eyes and looked at Shirley Yang: "If you don't believe me, just ask Miss Yang, I'll scare you to death if I tell you about that house in California!"
Shirley Yang He didn't care how much this thing was worth, and focused on other places. Hearing this, he turned to his left and said, "It seems that this thing was deliberately pressed into the ground. You can see that most of the roots are wrapped around it. ”
She deliberately didn't answer Wang Kaixuan's words, just to end their boring topic.
Of course, she would not admit that Wang Kaixuan had guessed it right, and that her own backyard could really accommodate such a beast.
But that would be suspected of showing off your wealth, which is not appropriate.
Chen Ziyan heard this and knew it was time for him to play, so he reminded him: "Look carefully, this is not a Bixi, but a pepper picture that looks exactly like Bixi."
"Jiao Tu? What Jiao Tu? Does it look like the name of a dish?" Wang Kaixuan looked confused.
He knew about salt and pepper chicken nuggets, but he really didn't know what a pepper picture was.
Hu Bayi knew about Jiao Tu, so he said: "As the saying goes, dragons give birth to nine sons, each of whom is different. Bixi and Jiao Tu are both one of them, and there are also Suanni, Bifan, and Chi. Kiss, Yaizhen, Taotian, Pulao, etc. "
"Jiaotu is mostly used to guard the portal, while Bixi is used to guard the tomb, so I think this should be Bixi. "
Chen Ziyan was not angry after hearing this. He pointed to the jiao picture in front of him and explained: "You are right, but look at the top of the head of this stone beast. There is a round eyeball pattern there. I have used this special mark. I have seen it on a set of jade statues that offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and if you look at the short stele on the back, if I guess correctly, this is most likely the Zhenling Pu.”
If. The former may also be a coincidence, and the latter is the most solid evidence.
In addition to guarding the gate, the jiaotu also has the function of suppressing evil spirits around the king's tomb. It is usually buried outside the king's tomb after it is completed, just like the foundation laying ceremony in current construction projects.
Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, several people quickly climbed on Jiao Tu’s back, wanting to verify it.
Hu Bayi was the first to go up. When he arrived in front of the short monument, he immediately took out his paratrooper knife and gently peeled off the soil on it. As the soil peeled off, the short monument slowly revealed the carved words on it. Text and graphics.
After seeing the exposed content, Hu Bayi knew that he had guessed wrong.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to clean it up. Compared to the content recorded on it, it didn't matter if he guessed right or wrong.
After he completely cleaned up the short monument, the others climbed up, and they gathered together to study the contents.
The amount of information recorded in this town's mausoleum genealogy was a bit beyond their expectations. It almost described the construction process of King Xian's tomb in detail.
However, it is an ancient relic that is thousands of years old, so the words and sentences are quite ancient. Even Chen Ziyan, who has studied this aspect the most, cannot understand them all and can only translate a complete meaning.
With the stumbling translation, Chen Ziyan and others also roughly understood what was recorded above.
The mausoleum of this town first explains the origin of the ancient Dian Kingdom, explaining that its predecessors were three counties set up by the First Emperor. They secluded themselves when the Chu and Han Dynasties were fighting for hegemony and the world was in turmoil, and then gradually evolved into independence. One country.
In the early days of the Han Dynasty, because they had been busy dealing with the Huns in the north, and the ancient Dian Kingdom stayed on its own, they did not pay much attention to the ancient Dian Kingdom.
But at the end of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the pressure from the Han Dynasty became more and more intense. In particular, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked for the ancient sacred object 'Muchen Pearl', which became the trigger for the split. So.
It was precisely for this reason that King Xian took Muchen Pearl to the deep mountains of western Yunnan.
But the King of Dian had no time to do anything, so he could only use a 'shadow bead' to hide it from the sky and present it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
When she saw this, Shirley Yang was very excited: "It turns out that what Maoling lost was just a shadow bead. This is really great!"
What she was most worried about was that her trip would come back in vain. Now she knew from the Zhenling genealogy that King Xian had brought the real Muchen Bead here, so it didn't take a second thought to know that it was brought into the tomb.
The following content is some information about Muchen Bead, as well as the process of building the mausoleum of King Xian.
After reading this paragraph, Hu Bayi couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that such a small border country would spend twenty-seven years and mobilize 100,000 people to build a mausoleum. It must have used the power of the entire country.”
