Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 79 Tianhu Temple ([-])

After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he bowed his back and tiptoed towards the altar.The hall on the second floor is a wooden structure as a whole, with brackets at both ends, suspended in mid-air.After thousands of years of corrosion, it is no longer strong.When Chen Zhi walked on it, the whole hall was shaking slightly, and there was a creaking sound from the floor.

The altar on the second floor is very gorgeous. The table top is a whole piece of white marble, surrounded by white marble railings, which are now covered with spots and are no longer white and smooth.On the pillars of the railing, there are fox statues of different shapes, which are very similar to the one in the ancestral hall of the fox village.Some squatted, some lay down, all of them opened their mouths wide, showing sharp teeth, frightening the living.

Chen Zhi and the others walked up to the altar, and saw that the tablets placed on the altar were even bigger than they looked from a distance, as tall as a person.

The tablet is carved from wood, with fine carvings and golden patterns on it. It is old and the gold is dim, but it can be imagined that it used to be glittering.

"Look at the bird script written on this tablet, do you recognize it?" Fat Wei asked Chen Zhidao, his hands were not idle all the time to swipe things into his bag.

Chen Zhi glanced at it. This huge tablet was written in ancient Qin script, which was the font on the section of "Feng Shen Zha" that Lord Bao took out back then.Since seeing "Fengshen Zha" last time, Chen Zhi has done some research on the ancient Qin script, and he can recognize the general ancient Qin script.What is written on this tablet is, "The son of my lord Xuanhu Jun has Su Baiqian as the seat of God."Next to it is written in a kid, "Slave Wan Shi Gong Sacrifice".

Chen Zhi read the words on the tablet softly to everyone.Then he said, "There is no doubt that Bai Qian is enshrined in this temple. It seems that we have found the right place."Chen Zhi glanced at the small characters on the tablet again and said, "This tablet should be set up by her servant. The question is who is the slave who enshrines her? Bai Qian is alive or dead now, where will her remains be buried?" "

At this time, Fat Wei approached the altar, he walked around the ground in front of the altar several times, and said to everyone, "I still have sharp eyes, come and have a look, are there any words engraved here?"

Hearing the sound, several people from Chen Zhi walked over and looked under the altar. It turned out that there was a white marble slab there. Chen Zhi had seen this kind of slab before the Han Dynasty. A stone slab is lowered for kneeling.The name of the priest is often engraved on it, such as "so and so, worship the ancestors above" and other words to show loyalty and filial piety.

Chen Zhi gently wiped the dust on the slate with his hands, and carefully identified it. The engraving on the slate is also ancient Qin style, but the engraving is so shallow that it has been worn away. .

"This should be written by Bai Qian's god slave, for his descendants." Chen Zhi looked at it and said.

Fat Wei became anxious, "What on earth is written on it? Read it quickly, don't be fooled."

Chen Zhi carefully identified the writing on the stone platform, and read it, "The descendants of my Hulu clan listen to the training, and my Hulu clan is the slave of the Tianhu god Yousu family for generations. The temple was built for my lord God Yousu Bai In the east of the Qianshen Tomb, you need to be enshrined for generations, the incense will last forever, and you will be buried with you after death, which is a serious crime."

Fat and majestic enough, he said: "Big Chengzi, show off that you are educated, don't you? Please speak human language instead of bird language. I have low education and don't understand."

Chen Zhi suppressed the fire, and translated to him softly: "A long time ago, there was a man named Hu Lushi, who was Bai Qian's servant, and his scientific name was Shennu. This temple, in order to allow his descendants to continue offering sacrifices to Bai Qian and keep the incense forever, also asks his descendants to be buried in Bai Qian's tomb after death, there must be no mistake. Do you understand this?"

Fat Wei suddenly realized, "Damn, isn't this a pervert? Going to be someone else's slaves by yourself, and not doing enough after death, and forcing your own descendants to be slaves and being buried with them. Damn! It's really shameful to have such an ancestor. "Fat Wei scolded.

Chen Zhi glanced at him helplessly, and continued, "Now the ins and outs of the matter are clear, it seems that the living fox in Fox Village is not Bai Qian's blood, but Bai Qian's god slave, the descendant of the Hu Lu clan, With the changes of the times, Hulu's surname was later changed to Hu's.

Thousands of years ago, Bai Qian might have really come here and lived here.But for some reason, she left.But he didn't take away its god slave, his god slave stayed here, reproduced, and enshrined Bai Qian's former residence temple from generation to generation.After a long time, the blood of the fox fairy and the legend of the living fox have been left behind. "

"Then, the old lady in the village is not a fairy's blood, so how could she live forever?" Fat Wei asked.

"That's what I'm questioning," Chen Zhi said. "It is clearly written on the stone platform that you need to be enshrined for generations, the incense will last forever, and you will be buried with you after death. That is to say, this servant named Hulu's slave is not An immortal god, he will die normally just like ordinary humans. That live fox can live for so many years is very problematic." Chen Zhi said.

"Oh! Don't mind it! Let's quickly bring some light objects, and find the exit first before we talk. Who cares if he is a fox or a fox", Fat Wei said and began to use a knife to pry off the gem carvings on the altar. Wei received quite a lot of goods. It turned out that he had brought a big woven bag with him. Now he has picked up a big bag from the sacrificial formation, which is full of gold and jade artifacts. If Fat Wei goes out this time, he will probably be rich and powerful immediately. up.

"Don't just stare blankly, quickly help pry these objects, you have a share when you go out," Fat Wei shouted, opened the wooden lattice under the altar, and got in.

"Oh my god!" Fat Wei yelled, got out from the wooden lattice, and shouted: "Come quickly, there is a fresh one here."

Chen Zhi and the others hurried over to take a look. It turned out that there was a female corpse lying in the wooden lattice under the altar. It should have died not long ago, and her eyes were not cloudy yet.Even if the corpse's face turned into ashes, Chen Zhi could still recognize that it was Mai Sui'er.

It was absolutely true that what was lying there was the corpse of Cornspike, to be precise, a corpse similar to that of a human being.The skin of the corpse had been treated with some kind of medicine. It was dry and wrinkled, and it was loosely piled up, like the skin of a centenarian.The joints of the limbs of the corpse had been twisted and turned in the opposite direction. The fingers and toes had already been cut off, and the scars on them were all old.Such corpses are piled up there like dead demons, making people feel chills in the heart.

"This is probably the secret of the living fox's immortality," Chen Zhi said while looking at Fat Wei.In his surprised eyes, he slowly revealed all the truth.
