Chapter 142: Human Skin Map

 After the group rested for a while, Ye Bai took Nuqingji, led by Chen Yulou, to the stone door of the middle tomb.

This stone gate is not big, just over two meters tall. Some scenes of the Dian people holding sacrifices are carved on the stone gate.

"According to historical records, during the Warring States Period, a Chu general named Zhuang Qiao conquered the indigenous people here in Yunnan. He was trapped by the Qin Dynasty, so he stayed here and established the Dian Kingdom. Looking at the sacrificial ritual scenes of the Dian Kingdom, it seems that he killed

Many slaves are far from the sacrificial culture of Chu State, and they don't know whether the historical records are true or false." Chen Yulou said doubtfully.

Ye Bai also shook his head slightly. He didn't know whether the historical data was true or false.

However, the human sacrifice system appeared at the end of primitive society, prevailed during the slavery era, and basically disappeared after the Han Dynasty. The Dian Kingdom was destroyed at that time.

The middle of the stone door is sealed with pine wax, and there is no knocker. It doesn't look like there is a hidden mechanism.

Ye Bai waved his hand, and two men from the Ye Mansion stepped forward to cut the pine wax with their blades, and then joined forces with several Xieling brothers to push open the stone door.

After the dust cleared, the appearance of the main tomb chamber appeared before everyone's eyes.

A Qingtong coffin is placed vertically in the center, with stone platforms on both sides, and some large bronze sacrificial objects are also placed here.

"He uses a stone coffin for his wife and a bronze coffin for himself. This King of Dian is really stingy." Chen Yulou complained.

Ye Bai held a flashlight and observed the decorations in the tomb and said: "You have seen the condition of this tomb along the way. There are all kinds of rags. It is not bad to have a bronze coffin as the main coffin.



"I think that when King Xian fled the Dian Kingdom, he also took away a lot of the Dian Kingdom's treasures. Otherwise, the Dian King would not be so poor." Chen Yulou speculated, and asked his men to light the oil lamps on the wall.

The tomb suddenly became brighter.

Chen Yulou walked to several bronze sacrificial objects, studied them for a while, and found that they were not good things, so he said: "There are no good things outside, do you want to open the coffin?"

"Open!" Ye Bai looked at the bronze coffin, the bronze treasure box inside was flashing, and winked at the Ye Mansion clerk, who immediately took out a candle from his pocket and lit it in the southeast corner.

The guys who were unloading the ridge were also busy, taking measurements next to the bronze hall.

Perhaps this is the benefit of establishing a force, as you don’t have to do some things yourself.

Ye Bai also asked his men to learn from him. Xiling became so famous in the world of tomb robbers not only because of the large number of people, but also because of the many tricks he used to get into the tomb and open the coffin.

When they were almost ready, everyone in Xiling sprinkled white powder around the bronze coffin.

These white powders seem to be made from a mixture of lime and Chinese medicinal materials, and have a somewhat pungent taste.

"What is this?" Ye Bai asked curiously.

Chen Yulou explained: "It is used to repel insects. The witchcraft of insect figurines is prevalent in Yunnan. What may be buried in the coffin is not a corpse, but some poisonous insects. I also made extra preparations."

Ye Bai smiled, his elder brother was quite considerate.

Seeing that his men were ready, Chen Yulou no longer hesitated and waved his hand: "Open the restaurant!"

The bronze coffin was slowly pushed away by three big men who were unloading the mountain. After one-third of the space was exposed, Chen Yulou asked his men to stop.

Ye Bai and Chen Yulou stepped forward and took a flashlight to shine. They saw a shriveled corpse lying inside, with only white bones remaining in many parts of the body.

Chen Yulou breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to die. It would be a ghost if he could transform into a corpse in this situation.

Chen Yulou asked people to open the lid of the coffin again, and the bones of King Dian were exposed to everyone, and everyone else gathered around.

Ye Bai was one step ahead of everyone else and sat directly on the bronze coffin. After taking out the bronze treasure box, he looked at the burial objects in the coffin.

There were not many burial objects. In addition to a few jade articles, there were also black and gold objects hidden under the corners of clothes.

Since having a child, Chen Yulou has been much more cautious in his actions. Seeing that Ye Bai was a little reckless, he felt a little worried and said, "Be careful, there are traps."

Ye Bai shook his head to indicate that it was okay. After putting on his gloves, he took out the black and gold objects.

This object is small and exquisite. It is a gold seal with a snake button on the handle. There are scales on the back of the snake, and the snake's head is raised to the upper right.

The button and the seal body were cast separately and then welded together. The chisel marks on both sides of the strokes can still be identified. Four words were engraved on the bottom of the seal in seal script: "Seal of the King of Dian".

Sure enough, it was this item. Ye Bai smiled and handed the gold seal to Chen Yulou: "Look, this time it was not in vain."

Chen Yulou also took the gold seal carefully and looked at it carefully.

After Ye Bai picked up several pieces of jade that were buried with him, he started groping around the bones.

He remembered that Chen Yulou once obtained a human skin map recording the tomb of King Xian from the tomb of King Dian. If nothing unexpected happened, the map would probably be in this coffin.

Just why can’t I find it?

Seeing that Ye Bai had scattered the bones of the Dian King, Chen Yulou couldn't help but said: "After all, he is a vassal king, so he must be respected no matter what."

"Then why don't you put the gold seal back? It will show more respect." Ye Bai retorted, ignoring Chen Yulou and continuing to search in the coffin.

Chen Yulou thinks about it too. He is already like this, and he still respects him so much.

If you become a bitch, why should you build an arch?

So he also stepped forward to help Ye Bai rummage in the coffin. Soon, Chen Yulou found a piece of wilted and stinky human skin under the neck of the Dian King.

After wiping away the dirt on it, Chen Yulou spread out the human skin and saw mountains, rivers and some special symbols painted on it.

There is a blank space in the center of the map, with nothing recorded.

There is also a string of small words next to it, saying that there are four burial pits around the king's tomb, as well as the tombs of several close ministers. The writing behind it is too blurry and can no longer be seen clearly.

The last paragraph is quite clear: "Wang Yan was buried in the halo of a water dragon. His body was disintegrated and he ascended to immortality. The halo of the dragon was invisible. Unless the sky collapsed, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to break it."

Chen Yulou looked at Ye Bai and suddenly remembered something: "The dragon halo is invisible! Third brother, aren't these the words your people once left? Could this map be the map of the king's tomb?"

Ye Bai pretended not to know, nodded and said: "That's it. I didn't expect that there would be a map of King Xian's tomb in the tomb of King Dian."

Chen Yulou looked happy. With this map, he felt more confident about finding Muchen Bead, and then he studied the map carefully.

But the ink marks on the map were made of unknown materials and were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chen Yulou quickly put the human skin map away and placed it in a sealed wooden box.

"It should have been stored for too long, and the ink marks were oxidized when exposed to air. After returning, we need to find a cultural relic restoration master to restore them."

However, Chen Yulou felt a little heavy when he thought of the information recorded on the map.

"If it weren't for the collapse of the sky, it would be very difficult for outsiders to break it? Does it really require the cooperation of the weather to steal the tomb of King Xian? But what is the collapse of the sky? Is it something falling from the sky, a meteor??"

Ye Bai didn't know what Chen Yulou was thinking. He had just browsed the human skin map.

Although the specific location of King Xian's tomb is listed above, the insect valley at the core is completely blank with no record.

Besides, he really doesn't know what dangers there are in the Worm Valley and where the Muchen Bead is placed.

If I have any regrets in my previous life, it was that I watched less of Yunnan Worm Valley.

Ye Bai sighed. When the time comes to go to the tomb, it will really depend on everyone's luck and ability.
