Holy Bone

Chapter 233 Clues to Murals and Cornucopia?
The matter of robbing the top of the head.

It didn't cause much uproar.

After observing for a while, everyone saw that there was nothing special about the robbery cave, and then turned their heads to look at the murals in the tomb in front of them and the words on the cast iron tablet.

"These characters are not like the characters of Kangding Kingdom, nor the characters of recent dynasties. The fonts are old, but they seem to be characters from a long time ago."

A circle of people gathered in front of the cast iron stele that held the coffin, studying the writing on it.

"Elder Hongzhao of my temple is an elder of the Taoist Temple. He is best at studying ancient Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures. Why don't we use a torch to illuminate the words on this cast iron stele for Elder Hongzhao of my temple? Maybe we can learn from this cast iron stele." Find some clues about the identity of the owner of this ancient tomb on the internet.”

The abbot of Bailong Temple clasped his hands together and said.

Everyone naturally has no opinion.

Then, the captain asked everyone to disperse, there are too many people here, don't all surround the cast iron monument, and let everyone leave enough space for the eminent monk Hongzhao.

Then he ordered those cavalry guard brothers to form a circle and hold torches in their hands to illuminate the ancient characters on the cast iron tablet for the eminent monk Hongzhao.

Those iron cavalry guards were well-trained and strictly disciplined. The captain asked them to stand still with torches in their hands, and they really stood still. They were tall and burly, standing tall like a black iron tower.

There was a trace of admiration and respect in Jin An's eyes.

The man's dream is very simple. Every man has the dream of serving his country as a soldier when he was a child.

Although Hongzhao is an old monk with white eyebrows, his eyes are bright and clear, and the dim sight in the cemetery does not affect his reading.

"The characters on this pig iron tablet are indeed very early characters, and should be Teng Guowen that dates back thousands of years."

"This Teng language has a characteristic. This small country more than a thousand years ago worshiped snakes, so one of the characteristics of Teng language is that it is like a snake entangled and soaring."

The eminent monk Hongzhao continued to study the words on the iron tablet carefully while talking.

pity.

This raw iron stele is too old and has been severely decayed. It is very difficult to recognize the ancient characters written thousands of years ago, and it is even more difficult to recognize the ancient characters that are rotten.

The eminent monk Hongzhao studied for a long time, his brows became more and more tightly wrinkled, and the atmosphere in the tomb was a little oppressive and quiet for a while.

But no one bothered or urged Master Hongzhao.

Now the only one who can decipher the characters of Xiaoguo thousands of years ago is the eminent monk Hongzhao. If the other party can't decipher, they will have to collectively catch them blind.

When bored, everyone turned their heads and began to study the murals around them.

There is nothing else in this tomb.

That is, there are many murals.

"Little brother, look at this mural. All the citizens in the city are bowing down to the man on the cart. This man should be the owner of the tomb, but this man looks really strange. Why does he have horns? Long tails ?”

The old Taoist called Jin'an.

"Looking at these murals, they all carved out horns and tails for the man on the cart."

"These murals occupy the entire length of one wall, and they look very grand. It seems that this small country called Teng is holding some important ceremony. The owner of the tomb is visiting his territory and city in a cart."

Jin An came over to take a look, and said, "The man on the cart has a horny head and a long tail. He probably wants to express the meaning of a dragon."

"Maybe the owner of this tomb is really a dragon king, a human dragon or something, not a human anyway."

"Or maybe it's the people in the past, out of respect for the superiors, they used exaggerated techniques to deliberately carve their king into the shape of a dragon, so as to fool the people and consolidate the king's ruling position."

Just when several people were still studying the murals.

After about two or three sticks of incense, Monk Hongzhao finally made great progress in deciphering the characters.

Everyone who was bored waiting hurriedly gathered around.

"General Duwei, the inscriptions on this pig iron tablet are indeed the characters of a small country called Teng Kingdom thousands of years ago. The Teng inscriptions are too damaged. The poor monk roughly concluded the contents of the inscriptions by half-guessing. What time is it……"

"One, these inscriptions mention that this is the tomb of the Lord Teng."

"Second, these inscriptions not only praised the king, but also praised the great achievements of the Teng Kingdom to future generations. At that time, the world had not yet been unified, and it was in the chaotic era of the Warring States Period. There were more than 100 countries, large and small. , but the most powerful countries are only the top ten countries, and Teng is one of them, and these dozen countries are constantly conquering each other."

"Three, the Lord of the Teng Kingdom is the reincarnation of a real dragon, a human dragon, and the blood of his children is also the blood of a dragon transformed into a human dragon."

This time everyone was dumbfounded.

Do dragons really exist?

Is the lord of Teng Kingdom really the reincarnation of a real dragon?
Is the Dragon King under the Yinyi River the Lord of the Teng Kingdom?
Doesn't that mean that they went down the Yinyi River this time to fight a dragon king who had practiced Taoism for a thousand years after his death?

"but……"

Monk Hongzhao suddenly frowned more and more.

"But what?" the captain asked urgently.

The eminent monk Hongzhao pointed to one of the most corroded corners on the cast iron stele, and said solemnly: "This stele mentions the Shanzhou Kingdom and Juyin Basin that once flourished and declined for a short time..."

Mountain state?
Polyuria basin?
The captain was startled when he heard the words, and immediately, his thick eyebrows frowned into a straight line.

Probably because of these two matters, no matter which one is involved, it is an extremely important matter.

Because it involves the secret of immortality.

"It's just that this stele is too decayed, and the handwriting on the back is seriously damaged. I don't know why the Lord of Teng Kingdom mentioned Shanzhou Kingdom and Juyin basin?"

The eminent monk Hongzhao looked at the stele and sighed.

But among the people present, the most shocked ones were Jin An and the old Taoist priest, who secretly looked at each other.

They all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The next Yinyi River, apart from the Dragon King, how could it be linked to the clue that the Juying Basin once appeared in Chang County!

Among the people present, none of them were simple people, and all of them were well-informed.

When the eminent monk Hongzhao mentioned the Juyin basin, the others breathed heavily.

The captain, who was still heavy at first, noticed that the breathing of the others in the room became heavy, and he said lightly: "You guys are really naive to think that the legendary Yin basin that no one has seen the real face will appear in this Teng country. In the king's tomb?"

"Even if it really existed, I'm afraid it would have been stolen by the gang of tomb robbers who left the cave and went down to the tomb earlier than us."

"It is recorded in the history books that both Shanzhou State and Teng State were one of the heroes who competed in the world back then. It is not uncommon for the Lord of Teng State to mention Shanzhou State and Juyin Basin to fight against Yin soldiers. It may not necessarily be involved. There are clues to the Yin-judging basin. Even if there are clues to the Yin-judging basin, if I were the lord of the Teng Kingdom, I would never be so stupid as to disclose such a big secret to the public and let others come and snatch the Yin-judging basin from me."

At this time, the big man with hanging eyebrows who was kicking and fighting with Kuixing stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his lips greedily: "General Captain, you can't say that, maybe those tomb robbers didn't find the judging basin because they were all killed. Did the Dragon King die in this tomb?"

However, what Kuixing said about kicking and fighting reminded everyone.

If this Dragon King is really the Lord of the Teng Kingdom thousands of years ago, he is the reincarnation of a real dragon. He has practiced Taoism for thousands of years in this yin house and ancient tomb, so many of them may not be as old as the Dragon King if they add up their ages.

"Everyone don't have to worry about the Dragon King. Don't forget, this Dragon King was hit with four dry bone piles on the Dragon King's Platform, and he was suppressed at the bottom of the river forever. Since I am willing to go down the Yinyi River with you to eliminate the Dragon King, I will not fight an uncertain battle."

"Everyone is afraid of death, and I am the same. Since I appeared in this ancient tomb, it shows that we still have a good chance of winning against the Dragon King."

The captain said calmly.

The information in this tomb is really limited, and then everyone continued on the road, walking deep into the ancient tomb.

Of course, no one would risk their lives to overthrow the pig iron stele, and open the coffin to see what was suppressed in the coffin.The purpose of their trip is very clear, to minimize complications.

Strange to say.

It's been a smooth ride.

No danger or corpse was encountered.

On the contrary, on the ground covered with thick dust, many traces of fresh footprints were found. These footprints were messy. Before them, there were quite a few people who successfully entered the ancient tomb.

On the way, everyone guessed that the Ferryman from the underworld and the dead body bearer were very capable, but they hadn't seen these two people so far, maybe these two people were among these footprints?
The old Taoist had a different view on this, and he quietly said to Jin An: "Little brother, old Taoist, I think that even if the ferryman and corpse-bearer are all dead, that one is mysterious and has three hands on his waist. Even a Feng Shui master with a Feng Shui bell will not necessarily die."

Jin An nodded thoughtfully.

In the dark ancient tomb, illuminated by torches, the following road followed the guidance of these footprints on the ground. Everyone didn't encounter anything along the way, and they found the nave smoothly.

They found a transept on each side of the nave.

And in front of them is a main tomb.

But in the nave, they once again saw a coffin suppressed with a cast iron tablet.

But this time the coffin was opened, and the rotten cast iron tablet and coffin lid fell to the ground at this time, and the cast iron tablet fell into two pieces.

There are still words on the cast iron tablet.

But at this time, everyone didn't care about the cast iron tablet that was broken into two pieces, but stared at the opened stone coffin in a tense atmosphere.

Everyone is on alert.

The heavy armored soldiers of the iron cavalry did not need to be ordered by the captain. In the clash of the metal armor, they had already raised the heavy tower shield, erected the spear, and arranged the army to fight, resisting the front of the crowd, and guarding against the things in the sarcophagus. Rush out.

"Why did the inner and outer sarcophagi here be opened? Was it opened by Taoist Yinshan's group of tomb robbers? Or did they open it up by the corpse-carrying craftsmen who were one step ahead of us?"

The old Taoist said in surprise, and then muttered, there must not be a thousand-year-old corpse popping out of this sarcophagus!
However, this time everyone waited for a while, and there was no movement in the stone coffin, and it was very peaceful.

Jin An and the others stepped forward to check.

There is also a layer of coffin inside the coffin, which is filled with highly poisonous mercury. The captain borrowed a spear and stabbed the coffin, but there was nothing.

The captain shook his head at everyone: "This coffin is empty, there is nothing in it."

Seeing that the coffin was empty, everyone went to the left and right ear chambers to look for other clues.

One of the ear chambers is a burial pit, and the bones of many people were seen after death.

The other ear chamber is buried with a large number of clay pots and jars.

When no clues were found in the left and right ear chambers, everyone turned their attention to the main tomb, and then walked towards the larger main tomb ahead.
