Chapter 63 03 Mrs. Copperfish

It is rumored that there is a baby girl whose tongue is like a copper fish and cannot speak.Its appearance can be described as stunning, and when it entered the palace on the fifteenth day, the emperor ordered someone to cut off his tongue and take a copper fish, and the tongue would come back to life, just like ordinary people.Immediately he was able to sing, and walked around the beam for three days. The emperor was very happy and bestowed the title "Mrs. Copper Fish".

On the way here, Cheng Wanshi checked the information early on. This passage is excerpted from the bamboo slips unearthed from Mrs. Tongyu's tomb. It is probably the origin of Mrs. Tongyu's name.However, I don't believe in everything. Human baby girls are born differently. This kind of baby is either born with a deformity, or it is made from an artifact, and still retains some characteristics of the original body.

But the main body is a copper fish...it is really rare.

And Gou Yu's intuition is probably because his ancestors have some relationship with Mrs. Tongyu, so influenced by his blood, he knows that Mrs. Tongyu's tomb is connected to something.But that is not the underground palace, but the suspicious tomb of Lord Fuchi.

With the permission from above, Gou Yu didn't take them in personally, but just showed his face and left in a hurry.In his opinion, Cheng Wanshi and his party can get in touch with the special department, and they should also know about the mysterious world.As an archaeologist, he also encountered things that cannot be explained by science in his career. He knew the existence of the mysterious world, so he was not surprised. He just comforted Xu Zhu who didn't know why, and hinted that they couldn't take care of this matter. I can't control it either.

Xu Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses and nodded.

In fact, he also felt that when Xu Cheng came back this time, his whole temperament was different, and his personality and habits were still the same as before.This alone was enough to arouse his suspicion.Hearing Gou Yu's reassurance now, he could do nothing but force himself to relax and sighed deeply.

Besides, Cheng Wanshi and the others entered the tomb of Mrs. Tongyu, it wasn't too big, and there was no strange smell.After all, over the years, it has been a fairly famous tourist attraction, and the tourists who come and go have diluted the negative energy.

When Tongyuling was leveled, the local government knew that there was an ancient tomb below, and immediately sent people to protect it. Therefore, the things in Mrs. Tongyu’s tomb were well preserved, and basically all were sent to the museum without the hands of tomb robbers. .Several people walked around the tomb several times, but they couldn't find any entrance. They couldn't help but doubt: Is the suspicious tomb mentioned in the third map really under the tomb of Mrs. Tongyu?

"Tsk, you can't just dig it out, it's all protected by the state..." Bai Jiu rubbed her face, showing a very impatient expression.

Cheng Wanshi gave him a blank look: "Who said you can't dig? It's fine if you don't get discovered, but you have to have a goal if you want to dig..."

Xu Cheng suddenly said, "Why is Tongyuling written on the map, instead of the current place name like before?"

This question silenced everyone for a moment, Cheng Wanshi pondered for a moment, and suddenly had an idea: "The mountain monument? Now that Tongyu Ridge is gone, where is the original location of the mountain monument?"

"It should be on the left side of Mrs. Tongyu's tomb..." Bai Jiu looked through the information Gou Yu gave them, and happened to find a photo, which was taken before Tong Yuling was bulldozed. Combined with the text description, it can be roughly Infer the location of the mountain monument. "However, the age of the mountain stele is not very old. It was smashed into pieces back then. Maybe we can find some breath?"

"Let's go." Cheng Wanshi said, and walked to the tomb on the left, where Mrs. Tongyu's funeral objects were originally placed. The smell of gold and silver artifacts is very strong, but there is a faintly different atmosphere mixed in.Because the mountain tablet records the name of the mountain, in other words, by chance, it will become a mountain god-like existence, even after it is broken, there will still be a little spiritual fluctuation.Turning around in the tomb, he stopped at a certain corner. Although the tomb of Mrs. Copper Fish is underground, the mountain tablet absorbs and transmits spiritual power like a tree with roots—so it can still be found today. Location.

Bai Jiu and Jiang Fengbai took out their tools and dug into the ground. Because the tools they used were very powerful, it took only about ten minutes to dig out a bronze plate with a pull ring on it.At that time, Gou Yu dug down a layer, but found nothing, probably confused by the formation, and later had to fill the soil back to its original position.Jiang Fengbai reached out his hand to hook the pull ring, and pulled it up forcefully. There was a deep tomb passage hidden under the bronze plate, which was very narrow, and now it was completely exposed to everyone.

Everyone has experience, go down one by one, Cheng Wanshi is at the forefront, Bai Jiu is in the back, Xu Cheng stays a little more focused to protect Jiang Fengbai, or it is more accurate to monitor him.The tomb passage is very long, and it is inclined and sunken. The ground is not flat, and there are many small stones. If you accidentally kick it, it will roll down, making a "gulugulu" sound.

After about half an hour, forked caves began to appear in front of them, like a big net, extending in all directions.The cave is very deep, the air is filled with a strong smell of grass and trees, and there are traces of artificial excavation everywhere, which does not look like an ordinary cave at all.Cheng Wanshi took a photo with a flashlight, chose the road with the strongest smell, and led everyone to move on.After encountering a fork in the road, he repeated his old tricks and quickly found the first tomb.

This is not within the range of Mrs. Tongyu's tomb, but a genuine Fuchi tomb, because the pillars at the four corners of the tomb are carved with patterns of flowers and plants unique to Fuchi. There are no quinces here, just dead grass and dried flowers all over the place, which will turn into flowers when touched. Ashes were left, and it gave off an extremely strong smell, but it was not unpleasant, and even a little refreshing.Smelling this smell, Jiang Fengbai's expression changed, and he quickly returned to calm, but the frenzy in his eyes deepened a bit.

There was a heavy bronze door in the tomb. After Cheng Wanshi pushed it, only a crack opened, but he could squeeze out.He tried to get out of the door first, then it was Xu Cheng's turn, and then it was supposed to be Jiang Fengbai, but when Bai Jiu turned around, he found that he was gone. He was obviously in the unobstructed tomb, and there was no light on the way he came. Know exactly where he went.Cheng Wanshi was just a wrong eye, and he didn't see the process of Jiang Fengbai's disappearance, so his face turned pale all of a sudden.

"There's a mechanism here..." Bai Jiu was about to look around, when the bronze door suddenly began to shake and slowly closed, no matter how everything was stopped, the gap in the door became smaller and smaller.Bai Jiu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't make it through, she turned into a cat shape and ran over with an idea, almost got her tail caught.

Cheng Wanshi was silent for a while, put away the spell that he wanted to use to blow up the door, and said slowly: "Let's go first."

Bai Jiu and Xu Cheng, who had turned back into human form, looked at each other: It seems that what I said before has worked.

Leaving aside the issue of Jiang Fengbai's disappearance for the time being, the three of them continued on their way, and suddenly heard a burst of "haha" laughter, like a child's voice, and then another loud "bang", and the tomb passage ahead collapsed without warning. There was a small black figure on the ruins, slowly crawling towards them.

It turned out to be a child, the corner of the mouth was split, and it was cracked all the way to the temple, revealing the eerie white bones underneath.He looked like a lantern, with a skeleton inside and a pale skin outside.The weirdest thing was that while he was still making a hair-raising laugh, he suddenly opened his eyes and shot out two cloudy green lights, turning everything he saw into dust.Cheng Wanshi hurriedly backed away, stopping Bai Jiu and Xu Cheng who wanted to get closer.

Hearing his warning, Xu Cheng took a few steps forward instead, with a faint chill in his palm: "I'll come." When the child saw him, his laughter became louder and he gradually approached him, but was stopped by the chill. He confronted.Xu Cheng showed a sardonic smile. He was obviously a silver and flawless person, but the spiritual power flowing out was extremely dark, like the deepest bottomless abyss, freezing a small half of the tomb in an instant.

The child finally realized that he was afraid, and backed up again and again, but he couldn't keep up with the freezing speed, and before he could utter a scream, he was frozen into a large piece of black ice.The ice edge pierced through his eyes, completely breaking up the two cloudy green pools, turning them into a very pungent stench.Xu Cheng withdrew his strength slightly, and the ice in the tomb passage began to melt, except for the piece of ice that wrapped the child.

Cheng Wanshi let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, after Xu Cheng recovered his memory, his strength gradually stabilized and he did not lose control.

Passing through this section of the tomb passage, you can see another spacious tomb chamber, with a pool in the middle, which seems to be filled with wine, which has not rotted for thousands of years, and emits a mellow smell.There are many bronze statues of monkeys on the side, but they all have sharp teeth and claws, and their tails are all hooked together.Cheng Wanshi curiously touched the wine in the pool with the dagger, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, almost getting drunk, so he quickly got up and retreated to a safe range.

Bai Jiu's sense of smell is the most sensitive among the three. She hid at the door and dared not come in. She raised her voice and said, "Monkey wine? Is this pool of wine brewed by monkeys?"

Walking around the wine pond, Xu Cheng sniffed and was so smoked that he couldn't open his eyes. Maybe it was because of the fusion of their strengths and changes in their physiques after the double cultivation with Bai Jiu: "It's too choking, get out of here quickly That's good."

Cheng Wanshi pointed to a fruit-shaped gem at the bottom of the pool: "It seems that the exit is inside."

"Are you going to sneak in?" Xu Cheng covered his mouth and nose.

"I didn't see the drain... Maybe, just freeze the wine into ice, and then cut a hole in the center." Bai Jiu struggled to make a complete sentence.

"No." Cheng Wanshi shook his head, "If you touch the mechanism rashly, it may cause serious consequences. I think... the key to the exit lies in these bronze monkeys." A strange symbol was found behind it.

The rest of the dozen or so monkeys had notches on their heads, ankles, etc., all of which were similar symbols.

"It's fuchi numbers and words." Bai Jiu resisted the discomfort, and based on the experience gained during this period of time, he found out the meaning of each symbol.These symbols just form a strange number poem, to the effect that there are 25 monkeys in the tomb, and only seven of them are real keys, which are different from the others.Bai Jiu continued to check, and after a while, he found that seven of them looked different from the others, and looked more lifelike.He tentatively drew a line on one of the faces, revealing the real skin underneath, which actually contained a dead child instead of a solid body.

Cheng Wanshi also touched it curiously, with a surprised expression on his face: "It can be twisted, although the tail is entangled, but if you adjust the angle..."

Only a "click" was heard, and the base of the monkey statue got stuck and could no longer move.Xu Cheng also twisted the few beside him to the appropriate angles according to what he said. When a total of seven bronze statues hiding children returned to their correct positions, the gemstones in the wine pool suddenly shone, and the wine splashed out of the pool , separated seven strands and just shot into the mouth of the statue.

Caught off guard, the clothes of several people were soaked, and they hid aside in embarrassment.When the wine was completely absorbed by the statue, the pool dried up, the gems inside were broken, and the bottom of the pool began to drop gradually.Cheng Wanshi took the opportunity to jump in, and Bai Jiu also pulled Xu Cheng along behind him.

The inside looks like a modern elevator. The walls are somewhat rough. It feels like bark to the touch, but it is smoother than bark.As the bottom of the pool slowly descended, Cheng Wanshi felt a little uneasy. The next moment, the surroundings suddenly shook violently, and many monkeys with their teeth and claws fell from above, trying to tear them into pieces.Cheng Wanshi immediately pulled out the dagger and the spell, and burned and slashed at the same time, but unfortunately the space was too narrow, his movements were restricted, and his clothes would inevitably be scratched.Bai Jiu held Xu Cheng in his arms, and the monkey fell into his prey with a pair of sharp claws, and fled away screaming.But the walls were so slippery that they slid down halfway through the run, piercing their necks with sharp nails.

The shaft was full of monkey corpses, their blood and wine smelled the same, and the pungent smell permeated the air instantly.

"If monkeys make wine, where do they get the raw materials? There are usually no fresh fruits in the tomb, unless a strange tree that can live for a long time is planted..." Cheng Wanshi narrowed his eyes.
