Chapter 345 Bronze Coffin
"Bronze Coffin..."
After receiving Chen Ziyan's answer, Hu Bayi's voice lost all emotion. After murmuring in a low voice, he couldn't help but say:
“This place is really full of vicious things. I think we’d better fight it quickly!”
Both the cellar coffin and the bronze coffin are extremely dangerous things. If you encounter them, you will be killed. It's time to retreat, and now seeing two things in the same tomb at the same time, it can be said that even staying here is already taking a huge risk.
Shirley Yang said: "I have heard of bronze coffins. I heard that these coffins are often used to contain corpses after the 'soul-taking ritual'."
Ding Sitian didn't know much about this, so she became curious. Asked: "What is the 'soul-seizing ritual'?"
Shirley Yang explained: "Soul-seizing is to kill people in a cruel way and use witchcraft to extract the soul from the body , sealed on the divided organs of the corpse and refined into evil spirits."
Then he looked at the bronze coffin and continued: "And the body with the soul taken away will change and become a body. The immortal living dead are also called zombies in today's terms. Such zombies can explode at any time. Ordinary coffins cannot contain them at all, so tough bronze must be used, and the bronze coffin also needs to be made of heavy copper. The chain should be locked, and finally a corpse-suppressing bronze mirror should be installed on the outside of the bronze coffin to frighten the corpse inside. "
Shirley Yang's words can be said to have told the ins and outs of the bronze coffin in great detail.
After Shirley Yang finished speaking, Chen Ziyan walked to the bronze coffin hanging in the air, stretched out his hand to wipe away the dust on it, looked at the coffin body that appeared strangely blue-gray under the light, and said softly:
“This bronze coffin is not an ordinary bronze coffin. You see, not only is there a nine-level sealing town on it, but the ancient corpse-suppressing mirror placed in front of the coffin does not look like an ordinary thing.”
Hu Bayi As if thinking of something, he said aloud: "Generally, the owners of such hanging coffins are people who seek immortality and seek immortality, so that they will not be exposed to the turbid air after death. This is quite consistent with the king's offering!"
He felt that in this most mysterious bronze coffin, it was very likely that the body of Mr. Xian Wang was contained.
Shirley Yang said: "But this bronze coffin is an outlier in the mausoleum system. Only those who committed the most heinous crimes will be sealed in bronze. How could King Xian create such a safe place for himself? ”
This is also a flaw in Hu Bayi's guess. If it were an ordinary coffin, even the mandarin coffin next to it, his statement would be more convincing than this.
Ding Sitian also said: "We previously speculated that this might be the joint tomb of King Xian and his wife, but there are three coffins here. Whose is the extra one?"
< br>At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly said: "These three coffins should all be dedicated to the king, and they are not dedicated to the king."
Having memories of this place, he naturally knows the three coffins in front of him. What is the situation.
Chen Ziyan knew that if he didn't say anything, then regardless of what would be inside, Hu Bayi and the others would have to open the museum to take a look, so he gave the answer directly.
Hu Bayi and the others immediately looked at Chen Ziyan after hearing this, and Shirley Yang even asked: "Ziyan, what do you mean by this?"
She did not understand Chen Ziyan's inconsistent words.
Chen Ziyan glanced at the direction he came from, and then said slowly: "The Three Worlds Bridge we just walked through shows that King Xian agrees with the theory of reincarnation, and Taoism has always had a legend about immortality transforming three lives. , and the first three lives are also called the three hells, and the final death will be extremely miserable, which just fits these coffins, so I think these three coffins should represent the three lives of King Xian, and the real sacrifice Wang Ji is probably not here." After saying this, Chen Ziyan walked to the last stone coffin, pointed at it and said:
"During the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and tomb culture became more diverse. Different understandings of death have led to many corresponding burial methods. Among them is a method called curled up burial, which uses this form of stone coffin. In addition, the material of this twisted stone is very precious and is extremely rare. The cool stone means that the corpse in the coffin had a very respected status during his lifetime, which is in line with King Xian’s understanding of his past life.”
"Three Lives and Three Worlds..." Hu Bayi chewed the word for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "No wonder these three incomparable coffins were placed in the same tomb. That's what happened!"
He basically believed Chen Ziyan's words now, because this statement was not only logical, but also corresponded to the architectural layout before and after.
Shirley Yang nodded lightly at first, indicating that she agreed, and then asked: "Where is the real coffin of King Xian placed? Is it also in this tomb?"
< br>Compared with King Xian's so-called third life, she was more concerned about the location of King Xian's real coffin, because Muchen Bead must be inside.
"Maybe it's in here, maybe it's not here..." Hu Bayi said with some uncertainty.
Chen Ziyan said categorically: "With the character of King Xian, his coffin will definitely not be placed with these past lives. Past lives are just past lives after all, and he may not care much about it."
Although this tomb chamber There are many treasures inside, and they are all priceless, but Chen Ziyan does not plan to take action now.
The cellar coffin is made of a cellar wood core and is much more expensive than the same amount of gold. However, they can’t carry it with them and they have to be wary of the corpse inside, so they can only give up now. .
The ancient Legalist mirror on the bronze coffin is a treasure that Chen Ziyan must obtain. But taking off the ancient mirror now will undoubtedly release the contents of the bronze coffin in disguise, so he cannot act rashly.
So he planned to find King Xian first, get the Muchen Pearl, and then come back to deal with the evil spirits here.
But before Chen Ziyan could say what he wanted to say about leaving, a strange sound suddenly came from the bronze coffin. Before he could react, a faint blue light suddenly lit up from in front of them.
Everyone looked up and saw that there was a doorway in the direction they were facing.
The height of this doorway is much higher than the curved low door they entered through. On both sides of the doorway are two copper pillars that reach directly to the top of the tomb.
These two copper pillars are embedded in the tomb wall. The exposed part is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. Each part has a strange-looking corpse tied to it.
The source of the faint blue flames was the corpses tied to the copper pillars.
After shining the flashlight over them, Chen Ziyan and the others could fully see what these corpses looked like.
I saw that these corpses were all half human and half fish. Although the upper body looked like a woman, the neck was very thin, and there were vague organs like gills on it. The surface of the body was covered with fine black scales. Only the belly is missing.
