Save the Bachelor of Heaven

After the two trees were separated by Xiang Nan, a dark red object was revealed in the split tree body, which was rectangular in shape, with the top two edges polished into rounded corners.

The sun shines through the gaps between the trees, giving off a faint purple glow.

"That's a jade coffin, pull it out." Xiang Nan said, then flew forward and tied the coffin body with ropes. The three of them worked together to pull the coffin out of the tree hole between the two trees.

"Why is there a coffin in the tree? This is not in line with the mausoleum system." The old foreigner said in surprise.

China has had Feng Shui theory since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. When burying the dead, the tradition has always been to "bear the yang and hold the yin, and rely on the mountains and water." There is no reason to hang them on trees.

What's more, the old tree is the first of the five evils in the dark house. There are old trees, lonely mountains, broken streams, bare ridges, and rocks near the burial chamber. They are all in bad shape and must not be buried.

If there are old trees, they will seize the wind and energy; if there are lonely mountains, there will be less protection; if there is no melting or knotting, the yin and yang will inevitably conflict; if there is a broken flow, the main vein will be bitter and the soil will dry up; once the water vein is cut off, the vitality will be cut off; if there is chaos, If the rocks are suddenly angry and the rocks are towering, then the host will be full of evil spirits, and most of them will be caused by the bad energy of the earth; if there are bald mountains, it will be said to be a lifeless place.

Therefore, it is really strange and rare that this coffin was buried in a tree.

"You only know one, but don't know the other." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Burying the coffin in a tree is indeed not in line with the mausoleum system. But there is a type of Taoist people who claim to be aloof from the world of mortals and not among the five elements. , so when they die and are buried, they will not follow the ordinary way of choosing a ghost house.

In my opinion, he buried the coffin between these two trees on purpose. These two old couple trees are the coffin of this jade coffin, and inside is a wizard, or a person who cultivates immortality and seeks Taoism. I think the tree hole in the tree is most likely the Mingtang acupoint of the tree coffin, a golden well that draws the essence of heaven and earth. He was buried here in the hope of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turning his corpse into an immortal. "

He has learned the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" from Hu Guohua, and the "Golden Point Secret Technique" from Zhang Jiuyi. His knowledge in innate gossip, Feng Shui, and identification of treasures can be said to be unmatched by anyone. .

Although the burial style of this jade coffin is rare, it is not particularly surprising.

"I see, senior brother, you know a lot." Hua Ling said with admiration.

…

Xiang Nan stopped talking, but looked at the jade coffin carefully.

You can see that the jade coffin is transparent, like jade and crystal, extremely smooth and translucent. There is a layer of milky white as thin as a cicada's wings on the outside, and gradually turns red inside. The color becomes darker as you go inside, as if it is filled with crimson blood.

Most of the coffin was wrapped in various parasitic plants, making it difficult to see its full extent.

Xiang Nan put on rubber gloves and removed the wrapped plants one by one.

You can see many finely carved patterns on the coffin lid. The entire floor is engraved with mandarin ducks, swan geese, foxes, rabbits, deer, deer, elephants and other rare birds and animals that symbolize auspiciousness and spirituality. There are also four corners. There are symmetrically arranged flowers and plants of different shapes.

The jade coffin is surrounded by a pattern of lotus petals and is decorated with diamond-shaped honeysuckle reliefs. In the middle of each side is a lifelike little parrot, with a ganoderma lucidum in its mouth.

"What a beautiful jade coffin." Hua Ling praised.

This was the first time she had seen such an exquisite coffin.

Xiang Nan nodded, also opening his eyes.

"The reliefs on these jade coffins are peaceful and gentle in shape. Although their expressions are a little dull, their knife skills are simple and lively, gorgeous yet profound. This form of expression with a high degree of artistic coverage is very close to the simple style of the Qin and Han Dynasties. , this should be the accompanying mausoleum dedicated to the king's tomb, there is no mistake." He explained to Hua Ling and the old foreigner.

When they heard this, they were very excited.

Now that the companion tomb has been found, the main tomb is naturally not far away.

…

Xiang Nan also saw that there were no nails on the jade coffin, but a box-type one. The jade plate used as the lid of the coffin has extremely tight slots on both sides.

Xiang Nan took out his machete and was about to scrape off the sealing paraffin on the coffin lid. At this moment, the sun shone on the crystal jade coffin, and a tall human shadow was reflected inside.

This shadow is extremely heavy and black. It has a head and two shoulders. The shadow below the shoulders is very wide. It seems that there are many other things in the coffin, but it is difficult to tell what they are from the shape. It may be something buried with the jade coffin. Utensils and the like.

"Brother, what is this?" the old foreigner asked quickly.

"Of course it's a dead body, what's there to be afraid of?" Xiang Nan curled his lips, scraped off the paraffin, and then pushed the coffin lid hard.

Just after hearing a few harsh squeaking sounds, Xiang Nan pulled out the coffin lid with force.

Once the lid of the coffin is opened, the contents inside the coffin are revealed. The jade coffin was filled with a purple liquid that was black and reddish. Except for the smell, it was the same as blood plasma.

"Is this blood?" Hua Ling asked doubtfully.

"No, it's an antiseptic potion." Xiang Nan explained, "You all hold your breath~"

Hua Ling and the old foreigner both nodded. With their current martial arts skills, even without gas masks, they can hold their breath for about a quarter of an hour.

Xiang Nan then lifted the bottom of the coffin and stood it up, causing all the purple liquid inside to flow out, revealing the corpse soaked in it.

When they saw this corpse, Hua Ling and the old foreigner were stunned, and then they couldn't help but feel disgusted.

They saw that it was the body of a fat old man, but only the upper half was human. A giant python that had been skinned was wrapped around it from the shoulders down. The connecting parts of the python corpse and the human corpse have been fused together, which looks weird and disgusting.

Hua Ling and the old foreigner were considered well-informed, but after seeing this scene, they still felt their appetites churning, and they almost spit out what they had just eaten.

"Hold it back, let's see how you look." Xiang Nan scolded.

Then he reached out and took out a golden mask and a short dragon-tiger staff from the coffin.

The golden mask is made entirely of real gold and has a very weird shape. There are dragon horns on the head of the mask, the mouth is shaped like a tiger's mouth, and the ears are like fish tails, making it look very ugly and ferocious;

The short staff of dragon and tiger is made of blue stone. One end is a dragon head, the other end is a tiger head. The place where the bodies of the two animals meet is the handle in the middle. The shape of the dragon and tiger is simple and simple, lacking the agility of the Han Dynasty artworks, but it exudes a powerful and thick aura. It seems to be at least an ancient relic from pre-Qin Dynasty.

At this time, the strange human-snake corpse lost the protection of the embalming fluid and was exposed to the sun and air. It quickly turned black and rotted, turning into powder in just a few moments.

But seeing it turn into powder, Hua Ling and the old foreigner suddenly felt much better.

Xiang Nan took the golden mask and the dragon-tiger short staff and rinsed them carefully in the nearby stream. Then he took them back, pointed at the golden mask and said to Hua Ling and the old foreigner, "Look, what's on it?"
