Chapter 153 Three Kings

The fat man was about to ask again, and I waved my hand to interrupt him: "What, I was sleepy when I saw the coffin? I did have a cellar coffin and a bronze coffin before. If you don't have a horoscope, don't get close to the custard in front of you, but if we can step across the Sansheng Bridge and before we come to the Yin Palace and the Underworld Gate, it means that the lives of the three of us are definitely strong enough, otherwise we would have fallen into the underworld before we stepped on the Sansheng Bridge."

The fat man said, "Just, when did the commander be afraid of it, but he has never seen such a coffin. A tiger bites a hedgehog and doesn't know how to get his mouth down."

Actually, I don’t know if our horoscope is strong enough. I just want to give the fat man some courage. In front of the door opening of the shade wall, there is still a certain distance from the three strange-shaped coffins deep in the tomb. Although the flares are so bright that they can’t see the subtle points, they have to wait for a while. Seeing that the door was pried and did not touch any mechanism, I nodded to Shirley Yang and Fat man, indicating that they could go in.

Shirley Yang opened the "golden steel umbrella" and opened the road at the front. The fat man and I followed closely behind. The flares that had just shot into it were still not extinguished, illuminating the dark tomb chamber. As I expected, this was a large "return"-shaped tomb chamber. The Yin Palace was divided into two layers inside and outside. Within the white wall, it was the first layer, which was seven or eight meters away from this wall. There was another brick wall surrounded by the tomb door on the two walls. The tomb doors on the two walls were just a low door hole on the top of the arc, and there was no gate blocking them. The flares passed directly through and penetrated into the deepest tomb chamber.

As soon as I entered the outer door, I first shone the "Wolf Eye" flashlight on both sides. There were two tomb walls, piled with giant copper-cast "sacrificial vessels" of blue and gray. These copper plates, copper tripods, and ivory, jade coins and jade cauldrons piled up in it, symbolizing the identity of the master in the tomb chamber.

This is the tomb of the royal tomb that I have seen the most burial objects in my life. These burial objects were specially made for the deceased, rather than just like the Jingjue Kingdom, and they just piled up some valuable things. The popularity of burials in the Han and Tang Dynasties was the most popular. Legend has it that during this period, some imperial tombs had more than thousands of tons, equivalent to one-third of the entire country's financial resources at that time. Although the burial objects in the "King Xian Tomb" were not as luxurious as those imperial tombs, they almost buried the entire Dian Kingdom in the tomb pit. However, none of these subjects, slaves and treasures could follow King Xian to heaven, and they all rotted into this dark and dark underground in the past two thousand years.

I sighed, thinking that the valuable old people in China used to be wasted like this. I am now quickening my pace and following Shirley Yang into the inner tomb chamber. The two tomb chambers are like the inner and outer cities of an ancient city. The deepest tomb chamber is the core part of the ancient tomb.

The light of the flare was gradually dimming. As soon as we stepped into the tomb, we suddenly fell into pitch black. We immediately turned on the spotlight on our helmet and immediately saw the copper coffin in front of us, which was suspended in the air with copper rings. It was the largest in size and was the most prominent among the three coffins. The other two did not fall on the copper rings.

The copper coffin was dark and dull, and it was covered with thick layers of dust. I put on gloves and stroked the dust on the copper coffin a layer. The body of the coffin was immediately reflected in a strange blue-gray color by the light. There were already many green copper flowers on the copper coffin. When I looked coldly, it seemed that it was covered with dark green centipedes.

After a closer look, there were nine heavy locks wrapped around the copper coffin, which were sealed tightly and airtightly. There were many strange plants cast outside. Apart from this, there were no more obvious characteristics, that is, they were big, heavy, and the real coffin should be inside it.

Let’s look at the other two coffins, one of which is made of wooden. Judging from the style and size, it should not be a wooden coffin, but only a layer of coffin board, but this coffin is also an unusual thing. At a rough look, the coffin board is about eight inches thick, and there is no paint on the coffin, revealing the original color of the wood, which looks like coke, but the wood is extremely fine and tough.

Shirley Yang Qi said: "The coffin has not been specially processed, but how can there be wood made of this material in the world?"

I knocked on the lid of the coffin with my hand and made an "empty" sound that hit the copper bell. It sounded particularly bright and thick in the tomb chamber. I said to Shirley Yang: "This is the legendary cellar coffin. In the valleys and mountains of the deep mountains and forests, where the sunlight can never shine, there is a carbon-colored tree. This tree has never seen sunlight since its growth. Ordinary trees grow one ring every year. This tree that does not see sunlight will only increase one ring after dozens or hundreds of years. This is called cellar wood. This name is very special, describing it as a tree that grows in a cellar."

The fat man also reached out and touched the cellar coffin: "My God, if this is really a cellar coffin, it's really a treasure. I heard that this kind of cellar wood is difficult to grow into a material and can be made into a coffin. The coffin board is so thick that there is no other material added. According to the current market, it is more valuable than gold of the same volume. I don't think I can find a suitable one. Let's fight it back... It's okay, then when we come to Yunnan this time, it's not a voluntary labor on Saturdays, do you think so?"

I said to Fatty and Shirley Yang: "How can gold be compared with this wood? Even ten gold coffins cannot be replaced. Look at how thick the coffin board is, and they are all the best scented tree cores. There is a name called "scented wood cut-off eight-inch board, not ten-year-old scented wood, so how can there be such a thick tree core? I remember that Empress Dowager Cixi and Lao Fu did not get this treatment, because this tree was invincible in the Han Dynasty, and no one in the future could find such a thick tree."

The fat man rubbed his hands repeatedly, and his breathing became heavy: "Why are you two, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and fight it out."

Shirley Yang ignored the fat man and said to me: "The bronze coffin hanging in the air in the tomb chamber is also very special. So what's going on? There is another strange-shaped coffin over there. Could it be that this is King Xian and his two wives?"

I shook my head: "I can't touch the door now. The bronze coffin is also an alien in the tomb system. Only some serious sinners or nobles who have infectious diseases will be sealed with a bronze coffin. There is also a saying that there are signs of corpses transforming before entering the colony to prevent zombies from breaking out of the coffin. You see, there are nine heavy locks on the copper coffin, how easy is it to open it? Only the ghost knows what is in it."

Shirley Yang said: "I only know that there is a kind of copper-horned gold coffin to prevent corpses from changing. It turns out that the hanging bronze coffin is the same. What does it mean to hang in the air?"

The fat man interrupted again, "I even know this. We have seen a human-faced copper coffin before, which is much more powerful than this. At that time, Commander Hu almost urinated his pants. Later, I heard that this kind of ring-hanging coffin was specially used to decorate people who seek immortality, so that they would not get rid of the turbid air on the ground after death. According to my estimate, 99% of the possible installations here are the old rice dumplings of King Xian. Not only did he not become an immortal, he started to grow a corpse and transform. Therefore, he hung it in the tomb chamber with a copper ring-hanging copper coffin. We should not touch it as soon as possible. It is better to carry the cellar coffin back directly, and he can't count the money for the rest of his life."

I said to Shirley Yang: "Don't listen to his nonsense. The person who peeed his pants was so scared that he was not me. But what he said in the second half was right. Those who wanted to hang in the air were all people in the Taoist sect. The bronze coffin was used to hold zombies. But it was not until the time it was concluded that it was King Xian. These three coffins were very well-known. We should start after we understand."

We decided to look at what the third coffin looked like, and then we decided to open it. We walked to the deepest part of the tomb chamber together, where there was a seamless sarcophagus. This was a sarcophagus directly created with a one-piece "patterned stone". The coffin board of the stone looked particularly quaint and even a bit primitive, decorated with hundreds of rings of partying. These rings were chiseled and gathered together to form a black beast. There was no way to tell what it was. It looked like neither dragon nor tiger, full of ancient and mysterious colors.

The outer layer of the seamless sarcophagus is sealed with a layer of translucent elixir paint, and the casket is sealed inside and cannot be seen. However, through some recent experiences accumulated in Panjiayuan, although there are many fakes there, the information is very rich and can be exposed to a large number of things beyond their experiences. Especially some folk collectors, they can learn a lot of information about various artifacts from them, which are difficult to access in books. I have heard people mention this seamless sarcophagus more than once, and it is said that they have been dug out twice in the West Mountain.

However, this sarcophagus was obviously much shorter than the usual coffin, and four thick single-legged stone men were carrying it, so it seemed to be a big piece higher than the wooden coffin. After seeing it, the fat man immediately said, "This must be the son of King Xian. He is a prince. He has not graduated from junior high school, so he will be buried with him. He doesn't want a diploma. Waiting to ascend to heaven and become an immortal together?"

Shirley Yang said: "It's impossible. I've never heard of anyone who lets his children be buried with him. Even if the tiger poison is poisonous, he will not eat his children."

I said to the two of them: "Of course it is not a prince or grandson. The reason why this sarcophagus is short is that it is not a whole corpse. In the Warring States Period, countries fought against each other and hundreds of schools of thought, and tomb culture became more diversified. There is a kind of burial of limbs, and there is a kind of burial called broken burial, and there are also curled burials, leaning over burials, squatting burials, hanging burials, lying burials, etc. There are different understandings of death, and the ways of placing dead corpses are also different. This should be a sarcophagus burial, and the pattern stone is also very small. It is a rare cold stone, which is like water jade. The corpses inside must be well-known during their lifetime."

However, the "curled-up" method was extinct by the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. It is hard to say whether it will remain in southern Yunnan. The problem is that these three coffins are all very special and are completely difficult to compare together. Although they are in the same tomb, there seems to be no connection between them.

I thought I couldn't figure it out anyway, so I just opened it and took a look. So I asked the fat man to go to the corner where he entered the door, lit three candles, and then started with the most valuable "cellar coffin". Even if the King Xian turned into soil, the "dragon dust bead" should still be left in the coffin.

When the fat man was litting wax, I saw the candles of the three candles illuminating, illuminating the corner of the gloomy tomb. I suddenly remembered something in my heart, Sanshi Bridge, and three coffins?

While thinking hard, Shirley Yang said to me: "I just remembered the Three-Shi Bridge I saw in front of Yin Palace. It is unknown whether the corpses placed in these three coffins are all King Xian, but there may not be one we are looking for. The King Xian who has the phoenix gallbladder, the coffin in the tomb chamber was dug out from another ancient tomb. Maybe he decided that this was the corpse of his previous life in some way."

I thought about it and replied, "Yes, it's not difficult to understand. The three coffins do not belong to the same period, but represent the three lives of King Xian in the world. Chinese Taoism has always had legends about immortal transformation and three lives. The first three lives were called the Three Prisons, and the final death will be extremely miserable, so I used this special coffin to pack it. The real King Xian must also be hidden somewhere in this tomb... Alas, let's just look at these three demon coffins. Why haven't the fat man who went to the corner to light candles come back? Three... Six... Nine... There are nine candles in the corner. Why did this grandson light so much wax? Where are others?"
