Tomb Robbery: Successor to the King, starting in Yunnan Worm Valley

Chapter 355 Wuling
  The mouth and eyes were wide open, which looked very strange in the dark. The corpse's face was not bloody. After Wang Ye discovered it, he carefully scraped off a little bit, and it was all red.

It seems that this woman was fed some kind of drug while she was still alive, and her whole head was filled with this kind of stuff.

This body is not the only one imprisoned on this stone platform. There are actually six naked backs on the entire white platform on the bronze-faced jade woman.

These corpses were kneeling on both sides. Some had their hands lowered and some had their faces turned sideways, but their terrifying expressions were different.

But the only thing in common is that these corpses all have their backs exposed.

The heights of these six corpses are similar, and they are like a platform as soft as leather, and the beautiful woman with a black sheep and copper mask on her head is sitting on the soft mat made of dead corpses.

Sun Jiuye looked at it carefully for a while, and the expression on his face suddenly became very serious, and he said to us, "No need to study, this is the human stool. It is recorded in the history books. I didn't expect to see it here! Inside the female corpse Filled with red gauze, they are all medicines that can keep flesh and blood from becoming stiff or hard after death."

Sun Jiuye didn't seem to expect to be here, and he was completely shocked when he encountered such a thing.

When Fatty Wang and Hu Ba thought about how comfortable they were sitting on it just now, they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and their hearts were beating wildly. "How come there is such furniture, a human stool? Is it possible to return it?" If living people are really killed and made into furniture, how can the poor people not rebel?"

Sun Jiuye explained, "The name "Human Stool" was changed later. Now it is impossible to find out what the real name is. In the era of slave society, it did exist. It is said that Xia Jie, the last generation of Xia's national army, was The famous tyrant was extravagant and lustful, and compared himself to the sun, calling him the sun in the sky. Female slaves would lie on the ground to serve as a stool for him, and male slaves would make human chariots and horses for him to ride on, and so on. He invented it. Later, this system continued to many dynasties, and it still existed until the Yuan Dynasty. There was never a custom of life and death, and all the items that the king enjoyed when he was alive must be prepared after death. The corpse stool should exist in the underworld instead of the human stool."

Wang Ye was very angry after hearing this. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen. "Is this corpse bench the visible object used for the burial of King Wuyang? But why can't you see King Wuyang's coffin and body?"

Sun Jiuye shook his head, "I said it, but none of you listened. This is not the ancient tomb underworld at all, but a sacrificial place similar to the food hall. King Wuyang's tomb has long been gone. His coffin and body, because... the Guanshan Taibao had already stolen the ancient tomb of the Wuyang King, and built the Dixian Village in that huge tomb as a hiding place. If you want to visit the Dixian, you must first Looking for Wuyang, doesn’t it correspond to this?”

Wang Ye felt that this matter was more and more confusing. Could it be that there really was a "King of Black Sheep" in ancient times.

Does the phrase "What a great king, with body and headless" refer to King Wuyang?

He had no clue at first, so how did Mr. Sun Jiu suddenly find out?
  Shirley Yang saw Wang Ye's confused expression and said, "When they were sitting on the bench just now, Sun Jiuye discovered that the large stone beams on the ground were covered with ancient relics of insects and fish, as well as many ancient relics shaped like the sun, moon and stars. Fu, although I don’t know whether the legend about Coffin Gorge is true or false, I am sure that there is an ancient tomb of extraordinary scale hidden in the gorge.”

Sun Jiuye nodded, "Indeed, the jade statue of the Wuyang King has not been destroyed. It may be that the Guanshan Taibao did this deliberately. The king of five heads is pregnant with the true body of this jade statue, but it is not what it should be called. It is the King of Wuling, and its real title should be "King of Wuling Yishan", but don't think that King Wuling is a human. According to this ancient legend, King Wuling is actually... an astonishingly large black sheep. .”

Sun Jiuye said that this cave was originally a place to worship King Wuling of Yishan, and the tomb of King Wuling should be hidden in the deepest part of "Coffin Gorge". What is even more incredible is that this king is not a human being, but It is a "black sheep" that is completely black and weighs a thousand kilograms.

Wang Ye couldn't understand. He was about to ask again, but Sun Jiuye was lying on the stone tablet and couldn't stop looking at it. I had to hold back my questions and took the fat man to check the terrain. The caves in the mountains were extremely deep and wide. , The evil wind roared in the distance like ghosts crying and gods howling. It was expected that the cave passed through the mountain, and there should be an exit leading to the canyon on the other side.

It was with great difficulty that Sun Jiuye had copied out all the words recording the deeds of the "Wuyang King". It was already mid-night, so we had to find a safe corner, light a fire, and spend the night in the cave.

Sun Jiuye was sorting out the information collected today in front of the fire, while telling us intermittently the legends recorded on the inscriptions.

The stone pillars under the Wuyang King's stool were left over from the flood control period. The carvings are extremely detailed. The patterns are "light and heavy thunder patterns" and the seals are "ancient seal scripts of snails". The casual people can't understand these things, which are like heavenly books. The strange-shaped snail script.

But Sun Jiuye has been immersed in this art for decades and has devoted endless efforts. His achievements are extraordinary and beyond the reach of ordinary scholars and experts. It is easy to understand 70% to 80% of them. Wang Ye felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Sun Jiuye was following him this time. Otherwise, with a few of them, even if they saw these ancient enigmatic texts, they would have to treat them as invisible. After all, none of them knew anything about this.

Several people were silent and listened carefully to what Sun Jiuye said.

It turns out that these ancient texts record a legend that has been lost and cannot be found in any ancient documents.

Many years ago, due to the unique topography of the Wushan Mountains, which was not affected by the power of the Yin-Yang fish to divert water, floods raged in this mountainous area, and natural disasters continued. Every year, many people were swallowed by the floods, and therefore lost their lives and became fish in the river. food.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, a hermit appeared in the mountains. He was a tall man and called himself the "King of Wuling". He had the ability to move mountains and drive Yin soldiers to dredge rivers.

The hermit also put forward two conditions. One was to ask someone to provide wine, meat and food during the period of moving mountains and rivers.

And the requirements are quite special. When it's time to eat, wine, meat and rice are piled at the entrance of the cave.

A large bronze cauldron is placed in front of the cave. The people delivering food first ring the cauldron three times and then quickly leave the mountain to avoid it. They cannot stay for a long time.

The other is to ask the emperor to give him an official title in recognition of his merits.

These two conditions were not a problem at all for the court at that time.

The emperor does not want hungry soldiers, and it is natural for him to do the work and take care of the food.

In addition, if we can really move mountains and create rivers and control the flood disaster in this area, then it will really be worthy of promotion.

It's just that it's ahead of schedule now.

Not to mention that the imperial court also valued King Wu Ling's magical methods very much.

If you really have the ability, it would be to get an expert.

There is no emperor in the past who has not been respected by the superiors.

After all, they all want to live forever.

Of course, the condition was agreed directly.
