[Bottle evil] Troop number zero

Chapter 47

Kojima Tadanobu ignored Yokota's objection and asked Wu Xie to walk around the coffin chamber with a lantern.The coffin of the owner of the tomb has been broken. Unlike the stone coffin above, the bottom is made of wood.The Zhou Dynasty stipulated that the coffin of the emperor had seven layers of inner and outer coffins, that of the princes had five layers, that of officials had three layers, and that of scholars had another weight.And the broken coffin below has at least five layers after careful inspection, that is to say, the owner of the tomb is at least a prince-level person.

What vassal-level people would be buried in this kind of place?Feng Shui is completely destroyed, and it still overlaps with the caves of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. This is too casual, and Wu Xie is puzzled.Wu Xie squatted down, picked up a bone from the debris, and then looked at the other bones, "Is the owner of the tomb a woman?" Wu Xie said to himself.

Kojima Tadanobu said next to him: "Yes, she has a wide and shallow pelvis, and she is a woman."

Women at the vassal level?The princess of the princes and kings?Wu Xie still can't think of any princess in history who was buried in this place. Did she offend her husband?Although the tomb is well repaired, isn't the location too strange?

In fact, it is not necessarily surprising. The place of sacrifice in the Yin and Shang Dynasties was a treasured place of geomantic omen. It is true that the mysterious bird can be resurrected from the dead, and it seems to be related to immortality.Perhaps the person who buried her hoped that she would come back from the dead, or become immortal?

Wu Xie put the skeleton back to its original place, and the ground reflected light, as if it had been specially treated.Wu Xie thought about it, and asked Kojima Tadanobu to give him a small shovel, and scraped the ground a few times.

"Hiss..." Wu Xie felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

With a wave of Yokota's hand, several devils immediately knelt on the ground with a spade in their hands and began to scrape.

"Hehe, the colonel is really thoughtful." Kojima Tadanobu said with a smile.

Wu Xie actually has a good impression of this devil named Xiaodao, because this person is like him, full of bookishness, not like a complete soldier, but that Yokota is very hostile, with many lives on his hands, and how many people from the country. of blood.

After a while, a few devils had scraped out a large piece of colorful ground painting.

Wu Xie lifted the wind lamp, and stared at these well-preserved geo-paintings with wide eyes.To say that he knows a lot about the murals, they are generally painted on the four walls of the tomb, the top and both sides of the corridor, reflecting the activities of the tomb owner during his lifetime, or the gods, myths and legends, historical stories, the sun, the moon and the stars, or the heavens. People came to pick it up, implying that the owner of the tomb had become immortal, but there are really few ground paintings, and there are basically few records, including his grandfather Wu Laogou and his third uncle who fought in the early years, and only once in the tomb of Song Dynasty.

"It's so beautiful." Tadanobu Kojima lay on the ground, and several ghost scholars also fell to the ground like him, expressing sincere admiration.

Wu Xie was a little silly. He thought it was a national treasure, a land painting from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After these devils go out, they will definitely find a way to cut them up and take them away.

At this time, Yokota directed the other ghosts to scrape the paint on the walls without a teacher. These walls have been specially treated like the ground, and all reflect the faint light.

"Be careful, be careful." Kojima Tadanobu shouted lying in the middle of the coffin chamber, "This is a priceless treasure, don't break it, we will send them back to the motherland."

Wu Xie felt uncomfortable, stood up and glanced at the tunnel, Kojima Tadanobu said that he could not enter the tunnel now, and he would die if he entered.But he would rather die at the hands of the devil than at the hands of his ancestors.

A pistol was stretched out, and it was coldly pressed against Wu Xie's temple.Yokota walked up to Wu Xie, smiling broadly, "Colonel, where are you looking?"

Wu Xiechu was shocked, did not show any fear, and said with a smile: "I was thinking about how to get out. These ancient murals and floor paintings will fade, burst or even fall off when exposed to air. Without protective measures, we will Lose these precious artifacts."

"Yes, yes, Yokota-kun, he is right." Kojima Tadanobu kept nodding his head.

Yokota glanced at Wu Xie. Anyway, he didn't trust this person, but his chief, Kojima Nakazusa, was too friendly to this person.Perhaps, this is because Lieutenant Kojima is not a professional soldier, and the kindness of a woman has developed a friendship with the man in front of him.

Wu Xie took a few steps back and looked at Yokota with an apologetic smile on his face. He knew that the guy on the opposite side couldn't understand him all the time, and even if he didn't kill him, he would beat him to a cripple.But Wu Xie also knew that devils have a strong concept of hierarchy, which can be said to be deeply ingrained. If Kojima Tadanobu threw a knife in front of Yokota and told him to cut him open, he could do it.So as long as Kojima Tadanobu is coaxed well, he will not have to worry about his life.

"Yokota, Yokota!" Kojima Tadanobu didn't know what he found, and shouted for him to come over.

Yokota winked at the ghosts next to him, telling them to keep an eye on Wu Xie, and walked towards Kojima Tadanobu by himself.Wu Xie pursed her lips, and could only look at the tunnel with nostalgia, and then witnessed this miraculous moment with the devil.However, the moment he turned his head, he seemed to see a black figure running past the end of the corridor, and he was startled, but he didn't turn his head to take a look.

who is it?Who will it be?Who's out there!

Out of the corner of her eye, Wu Xie noticed that the devils on the left and right had been staring at him, and her footsteps were stagnant for a moment, so she really gave up completely and gave up the idea of ​​turning back.

"Colonel!" Over there, Kojima Tadanobu stood up excitedly.

Wu Xie looked at him, and he pointed to the wall. Part of the murals had been connected to the ground. Under the illumination of a dozen wind lanterns, the veil that had been hidden for 2000 years was slowly lifted.

This is a story, a story that originated in the Shang Dynasty.

The protagonist of the story is a prince who fell in love with a captive foreign girl, rescued her from the danger of being buried, and made a private decision for life.But the prince's elder brother, the king of Shang at that time, couldn't forgive his younger brother's behavior, so he asked someone to arrest the woman and kill her in a cruel way.

The prince was disheartened and prepared to leave his hometown with his lover's relics in his arms.However, all the courtiers of King Shang asked King Shang to get rid of this disobedient brother, because he not only fell in love with the enemy, but also threatened the throne.It was an era when brothers would end up with younger brothers. The throne was passed on from elder brother to younger brother in order of age. It could also be passed on to sons of brothers, sons of younger brothers and sons of legitimate sons. It was very confusing.

The prince has a loyal subject, he is the most heroic general of that era.He told the prince that the weak and the strong preyed on the strong in the palace, and if he wanted to survive, he had to abandon his family ties and use whatever means he could.The prince agreed because he wanted to live and to avenge his lover.They all went to the shaman of the king of Shang, saying that the king of Shang lost his morality, which led to the instability of the throne, the chaos of the government, and the floods. They must re-establish a virtuous person to become the new king of Shang.They gave Wu Ji a lot of benefits, Wu Ji did a divination, and found that the prince who had benefited him was really destined for him.So Wu Ji searched all over the country and found this geomantic treasure to set up an altar, but it was not facing the sun, but buried deep in the ground.They are not praying for blessings, they are cursing, cursing that the king of Shang will soon return to heaven.

The general brought the relics left by the woman of the foreign race, and Wu Ji said that it was full of her resentment towards the king of Shang, and it could be used as a curse.Reluctant to give up, but helpless, the prince ordered someone to forge a bronze egg, and engraved the story of him and the woman on it with his own hands.After everything was ready, Wu Ji made another divination, which showed that after the curse, the country would be shrouded in resentment. To prevent this from happening, it was necessary to pour the blood of loyalty and serve it with a mysterious bird.

The prince cried loudly, knowing that after losing his lover, he would also lose his most loyal courtier.The general put on his battle robe, drank the poison handed by the witch, and slept forever in the ground with the relics of the foreign woman.Not long after, the king of Shang really came to heaven, the prince inherited the throne, moved the capital to Yin, ended the chaos of the ninth generation, and became the master of the Ming Dynasty.

Time passed by in a hurry, from the beginning of the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty came in a blink of an eye, that is, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Princess Chen married Cai Guoji and danced as his wife.One day, Mrs. Xiguo, the princess's younger sister, was passing by Cai Guo and was molested by her brother-in-law.Ji Xianwu resented her brother-in-law, so she praised Mrs. Xi's beauty in front of the king of Chu. The king of Chu destroyed the country of Xi and took his wife back to the country.Mrs. Xi gave birth to two sons in the state of Chu, and the second son later became the new King of Chu.At the same time, Ji Xianwu was detained by the king of Chu and died nine years later.During this period, Mrs. Xi's sister, Mrs. Ji Xianwu, accidentally discovered the secrets of the former court near the border. After many years of resentment broke out, she wanted to use the Shang Dynasty to curse and destroy Chu State to avenge her husband.Therefore, she secretly built a mausoleum on the original site of the sacrificial place, and buried the belongings of the foreign woman with herself at her own expense, so as to curse the death of Chu.

This is the story engraved on the tortoise shell and the story that happened later. Mrs. Cai Hou engraved these two stories together with paintings in the coffin chamber as her epitaph.

"I really don't know what to say." Wu Xie couldn't help sighing.

Kojima Tadanobu stared at the murals intently. The oracle bone inscriptions on it were exactly the same as those on the tortoise shell, and the other side was the Spring and Autumn Inscriptions. He couldn't understand it, so he had to ask Wu Xie for help.

"Colonel, what does the text next to the oracle bone inscription say?"

Wu Xie knew the bronze inscriptions, and the bronze inscriptions were easier to recognize.Bronze inscriptions have been used for more than 200 years, from the early Shang Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty's destruction of the six kingdoms.Due to his interest in the "Jin Wen Bian" published in the 14th year of the Republic of China, Wu Xie can be said to be familiar with it by heart.

"It is the content described on the mural. Mrs. Cai Aihou painted what happened in the Shang Dynasty and what happened to herself in the mural." Wu Xie thought that it would take a lot of time to figure out the content on the tortoise shell, and it might even be impossible. I can't crack it, I didn't expect to get it without any effort.

Kojima Tadanobu looked at the tortoise shell, then at the mural.

In history, Cai Guo and Xi Guo led to the subjugation of the country because of the same woman. Almost everyone who studies history knows about it.They probably all paid attention to the jealousy of three men fighting over a woman, and no one still remembered the unlucky Princess Chen Guochang.As for the story of the Shang Dynasty, Wu Xie is almost certain that the hero in it is Pan Geng. Pan Geng moved to Yin, ended the chaos of the Ninth Dynasty, re-established the majesty of the Shang king, and revived the Shang Dynasty.
