Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Bai Yutang split the entire mountain wall with green tomb scales, and when the mountain wall collapsed, something appeared in the cave that Wu Yifu couldn't help but praise as a "miracle"...

What is it?It's a statue!

The cliff is about fifty feet high by visual inspection, and the statue reaches the top of the cliff with its feet on the ground, and its width almost fills the entire cave.It looks like an Amitabha, with three heads, similar to the head of a snake. In short, the shape and details are extremely weird, and it is not like the usual sculpture style.And with a sense of simplicity, like an antique.The three-headed Amitabha statue was slightly similar to the three-headed Jintuo statue that everyone saw in Ghost Knowing's house that day, but Ghost Knowing that the house didn't have this aura at all, nor did it have this inexplicable evil spirit!

What surprised everyone the most was that the statue was so golden that it looked like gold.

Zhan Zhao looked at it for a while, then said, "Even if it's gold-plated, it's really expensive."

Fifth Master walked over, reached out and knocked on the three-headed golden Tuo statue, listened again, raised his face to look at the statue, and said, "It's made of pure gold."

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide - is it true or not?

Wu Yifu folded his arms and looked up, "Where did this thing come from? Is it a Buddha or a ghost?"

The three of them were watching, when they heard a shout from not far away, "I'm a mother!"

The three turned their heads and saw Long Qiaoguang standing not far away.General You thought there was an earthquake just now, and then heard a "bang" from above and the mountain shook, as if half of the mountain had collapsed. He was a little worried about Zhan Zhao and the others at the bottom of the mountain, and he thought he should not be under the mountain!So Master Guang ordered his subordinates to look at the cemetery, and ran to take a look at it himself, but was dumbfounded.

Long Qiaoguang ran to Zhan Zhao and the others, "What is this?"

Zhan Zhao asked, "Did you bring the contact ring arrow? Ask your marshal to take a look. It's best to call Gongsun to see if anyone knows this thing."

"Stop firing the arrow." Long Qiaoguang ran out, "I'll call!"

General You rushed back, while Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao, and Wu Yifu continued to look at the statue.

After a while, Yaoyao's chirping sound came from above his head.

After Yaoyao circled twice on the top of the mountain, it fell to the ground. From its back, Gongsun came down with Xiaosi in his arms, and Xiaoliang jumped up, "Oh my mother! What is this?!"

At the same time, a red figure also fell down. Lin Yehuo squatted on a stone, looked up at the Buddha statue, and said to Zou Liang beside him, "It's so big!"

Followed by Zhao Pu and the others, even Mr. Bao came.

Everyone watched for a long time in front of the Buddha statue.

Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun, "Do you know what this looks like?"

Gongsun shook his head straight, "It looks like the three-headed golden tuo that the ghost knows, but it doesn't seem to be very similar. I have never seen such a thing."

"It looks like some kind of alien god and demon." Lin Yehuo said, "I'll go find that fat monk to identify him." After speaking, he ran away without a trace.

Everyone studied the Buddha statue for a while, and Ouyang brought a large number of imperial troops to surround Xishan.

Lin Yehuo also brought Master Wusha along.

When Master Wusha arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was stunned when he saw the golden statue, and frowned, "This is... the casting process definitely does not belong to this dynasty."

"Master, is this a Bodhisattva or a demon?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Master Wusha was silent for a long time, "It looks like an evil god."

"What do you care about?" Lin Yehuo was curious, "Don't all the gods and Buddhas care about the same thing? Some care about life and death, and some care about marriage."

Master Wusha looked helplessly at his apprentice, and stretched out his hand to pat him on the head, "Stop talking nonsense, and be careful of acne on your face if you are disrespectful to the Buddha."

Lin Yehuo was startled and quickly covered his face.

Pang Yu also went up to pat the Buddha statue, listened to it, and nodded, "It's really pure gold!"

Zhao Pu asked a skilled craftsman from the palace to check the statue and see if anyone recognized it.

Zhan Zhao gossiped and asked Bai Yutang, "How much gold is here?"

Bai Yutang laughed, "It depends on the purity of the gold, but to build such a big golden statue, the gold cannot be very pure, there should be a lot of things mixed in, otherwise it would collapse."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao nodded, that's why.

"That's right." Long Qiaoguang came over and said to Zhan Zhao, "The tombs of the Jin family have been found."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, and took Gongsun to look at the cemetery first, which meant that they were going to dig the grave to see the corpse.

When everyone arrived at a flat area on the other side of the West Mountain, they saw Cao Lan and the others were all there. There were more than a dozen graves in front of them, all of which were well-built, and it could be seen that they were the ancestral graves of rich families.

Among them, the most magnificent ones should be the ancestors of the Jin family, and the relatively new ones are probably the old man Jin's family.

Zhan Zhao and the others did not find the tombs of Mr. Jin and his wives, but they did find a new tomb that looked very elegant. The tomb was made of high-quality stones, but the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds. It seemed that no one had been there for a long time. Take care of it.And on a tombstone standing in front of the tomb, the name "Jin Shan" is written. This is the tomb of the young master of the Jin family!

"Let's dig it up and have a look." Zhao Pu was also straightforward and asked Zhe Ying to lead the people to dig quickly.

It only took half a cup of tea for Zhe Ying's diggers to dig the tunnel. This small tomb was dug up in a short time, and the coffin was lifted up.

Gongsun was surprised, "Wow!"

Zhe Ying also nodded, "The coffin is so heavy!"

"This is the best golden nanmu!" Pang Yu smacked his lips, "It's even better than the former emperor's mouth."

When the words came out, Bao Yan kicked him, telling him to stop talking nonsense.

Zhao Pu didn't do much research, but the coffin looked really thick.

Bai Yutang waved his hands to Zhe Ying and the others who were holding an iron rod to pry the coffin, "It can't be knocked open, this one uses bolts and has a mechanism."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay - this coffin is so advanced!

Fifth Lord walked around the coffin, finally found a place to press it, and heard the sound of "Caracalla" coming from inside the coffin.

Then Bai Yutang knocked on the coffin board again, listened to the sound, found a place, reached out and pressed it... and something like a turntable popped out.Fifth Master held the turntable and turned it a few times, and then heard a series of noises, and then flicked up the coffin boards that were originally tightly stitched, and a gap appeared.

Everyone was amazed - so advanced!

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang curiously, "How do you know how to drive?"

Bai Yutang said, "There's only one shop in the world that sells this kind of high-end coffin made of golden nanmu. Quanji Coffin Shop is a business of Quanwansheng."

Everyone has heard the name Quan Wansheng, and it is called Coffin Quan. Quanji specializes in buying coffins. There are many branches in various places. His family does not sell ordinary coffins, but only good coffins worth more than [-] taels.

"You know Quan Wansheng?" Pang Yu was curious, "He actually taught you how to open a coffin? Can you put funeral objects in this coffin?"

Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "He never taught me, I taught him."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang said, "When my aunt passed away, I ordered a nanmu coffin from him, but the way to build the coffin is too old-fashioned, so I taught him this method, and he asked me if I could use it on other coffins. It doesn’t matter. When this kind of mechanism is closing the coffin, you can turn the dial by yourself. The way to turn it is different. After it is closed, only the same way can be opened. But this kind of mechanism has a common method of opening, and only I know.”

"That is to say, as long as it is a coffin with such a mechanism, you can open it, right?" Pang Yu was curious.

Bai Yutang nodded.

"Wait a moment!"

Everyone was discussing the coffin, Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.

Zhao Pu also nodded, "I also find it strange."

Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang, pointed at himself, "We are the same age?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

Zhan Zhao pointed to the coffin again, "Jin Shan died 20 years ago!"

The crowd nodded.

Zhan Zhao pointed to Bai Yutang again, "20 years ago, you were not even the fourth son, and you taught someone how to make a coffin mechanism?"

Everyone also looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang said, "My aunt passed away six years ago."

Everyone was taken aback, then looked at the coffin, "That is to say..."

"I bought this coffin for less than six years." Bai Yutang replied.

Everyone stared at the coffin for a long time, and they all took a breath, "Could it be that the coffin was changed in the middle?"

Gongsun shook his head, "Isn't the Jin family all dead? Who will help change the coffin?"

"Is the one over there really Jin Shan?" Bao Yan didn't understand.

Zhao Pu winked at Zhe Ying, which meant—to open the coffin.

Both Ziying and Zheying grabbed the coffin board and lifted it out...

The moment the coffin was opened, everyone saw the scene inside the coffin by the light of the torches, their eyes widened almost at the same time, and the fourth son held his face together, "Ah!"

The expression of everyone staring at the coffin at this time was similar to the surprise they saw when they saw the three-headed golden tuo just now.

I saw that there was indeed a dead body in the precious golden nanmu coffin...or in other words, it was almost like a sleeping person inside, and the dead body looked like an ordinary person, neither rotten nor rotten.A young man from seventeen or eighteen, about the same age as Bao Yan and the others, with a delicate face and a serene expression, wearing a clean and elegant white shroud, lay there quietly. If he was carried out and placed on the bed, he would definitely feel that he was just a sleeping man. juvenile.

"Is he really dead?" Bao Yan couldn't help asking.

Gongsun reached in and grabbed his wrist to feel his pulse.

Everyone was a little worried that the corpse would suddenly jump up or open its eyes.

Gongsun checked the pulse for a while, then shook his head, "He is indeed dead, very clearly."

"But why doesn't the corpse rot?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Because the coffin is good?"

"It's good that the coffin doesn't look like it's dead!" Gongsun frowned, "The corpse is not hard, but the skin is still soft, it's incredible!"

"There are strangle marks on his neck." Bai Yutang pointed to the neck of the corpse.

Gongsun checked it and nodded, "I agree with the characteristics of being hanged, but it may also be strangled."

"Is this Jin Shan?" Bao Yan asked.

"There must have been quite a few people who met the young master of the Jin family back then." Zhan Zhao said, "Let's find someone to ask in the morning."

Everyone nodded.

Bai Yutang covered the coffin again, and Gongsun asked the government servants to transport the body back to Kaifeng Mansion for a careful autopsy.

When everyone returned to Kaifeng, they saw that in the yard, the bones had been put together. As Gongsun speculated before, they were all traumatic deaths. It didn't look like an accident or accident, and it didn't look like they were eaten. It was more like an accident. catastrophe.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the entire Kaifeng Mansion was a sensation.

Many people have rumored that the Golden Buddha was dug up in Xishan Mountain, which was as high as a mountain. Fortunately, the Imperial City Army set up a shelf overnight and covered the surroundings of the three-headed Jintuo with oilcloth, so that no greater riots were caused. .

In the palace, Zhao Zhen was very surprised when he heard that Nangong, who had seen the real thing, explained the situation of Xishan in detail. At the same time, Zhao Zhen held his chin and sighed, "In this Kaifeng mansion, there are not only the god of decline but also the god of wealth! They How many treasures have I found during this investigation? Tsk tsk!"

……

Tianzun and Yin Hou heard about it early in the morning, and they also dragged Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang to visit.

Zhan Zhao asked the two elders if they had seen such a statue before, and they both shook their heads, expressing that it was the first time they had seen it, and it was amazing!

The three-headed Jintuo statue is even more shocking during the day.

Yin Hou frowned, "This thing is definitely not auspicious, it's simply demonic!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also nodded...Last night, it was so dark that they couldn't see the three heads that looked like snake heads clearly. Today, when I looked closely, the expressions on the three strange faces were completely different, and no matter how you looked at them, they were so evil. Sex, no wonder Master Wusha deduced that it was an evil god yesterday, and it really has that style.

Everyone was discussing, when they saw someone running over, it was Master Wang from Taixue.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, as soon as the Taixue came running, nothing good would happen, he was dead again!

Just as he was thinking about it, Master Wang ran closer, "Everyone, Master Lin asked me to remind everyone that I will be going to Taixue after noon today."

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback.

Bai Yutang also didn't understand, "Why do you go to Taixue?"

"Sure enough, I don't remember. Fortunately, Mrs. Lin thought carefully and asked us to notify one by one." Mrs. Wang was powerless, "The emperor ordered you to teach according to the order. Didn't Mrs. Lin give you lessons?"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, and they didn't know where to throw the course.

"Didn't the class start two days later?" Tianzun really looked at the class schedule and was puzzled.

"Today is the day when the freshmen of Taixue enroll collectively. According to Taixue's practice, freshmen must know all the masters, and also listen to the teachings left by the former emperor and the emperor's lectures, so you must go in the afternoon..."

Zhan Zhao folded his arms, "We're going too? It's not just teaching a few classes on a permanent basis."

Master Wang immediately had a serious face, "The tradition of Taixue is to respect the teacher and respect the way. If you are a teacher for one day, you will be a father for life..."

Zhan Zhao quickly waved his hands, "I don't want so many sons and daughters!"

"No and no!" Master Wang shook his head, seeing that he was about to drag the text again, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to send him away first, "We will go there in the afternoon, in the afternoon..."

Master Wang nodded, and then asked curiously, "I heard that a golden Buddha was dug up? Can I have a look?"

Zhan Zhao and the others looked at each other. This Master Wang is also very old. It is not easy to be a master in the Taixue. He is knowledgeable. Master Wang is also famous for his research on Buddhism and customs. , I have traveled to the Western Regions, maybe I can recognize him, so I led him to the cave to watch.

Master Wang looked up and was dumbfounded. He scratched his head and "uh" for a long time, so that everyone was almost out of breath.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Master, have you met before?"

Master Wang pointed at the Buddha statue and nodded, "I may have seen it!"

Everyone was surprised.

But Master Wang pointed at the golden Buddha and seemed to be unable to remember, "It must not be this big, maybe it is in a book or somewhere, anyway, I must have seen exactly the same one!"

Everyone was anxious, and Master Wang was also anxious, but the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't figure it out, as if he was stuck.

"Did you see it in Taixue?" Bai Yutang has experience in dealing with Tianzun, and when an old man can't remember anything, it's best to give him some hints.The place where Master Wang stays most often must be Taixue, so let's start with Taixue.

"Uh..." Mrs. Wang blinked.

Zhan Zhao then reminded, "Did you see the portrait in the book?"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback.

Everyone wanted to remind him a few more words, but he clapped his hands, "Ah! Tuanfan!"

Everyone looked at him, "Tuanfan?"

"I've seen Yuan'er from Fuxian Tower take this round fan!" Master Wang patted his head.

Everyone looked at the old master silently for a while.

Tianzun touched his chin, "Isn't Fuxian Tower a place to drink flower wine?"

Yin Hou also shook his head, "Oh, master, you are already old, take it easy."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, then blushed and stomped her feet, "Oh, I'm going to die! Of course I didn't! No! Oh..."

Seeing that the old man was about to vomit blood, Zhan Zhao quickly persuaded him, "It's okay, you're a flirtatious talent, drinking flower wine is a normal thing..."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao with admiration, are you afraid of his death or think he died too slowly?

Sure enough, the old man couldn't argue with anything and was gasping for breath.

Bai Yutang asked him, "Where did you see that?"

Master Wang straightened his chest and calmed down, "The one in the Fuxian Tower is Qin Ji, not Yao Jie, who is a performer and not a prostitute! Miss Yuaner is the confidante of my friend Yao Shanshui, and she happened to play the piano when I was drinking with Shanshui that day. , I put the fan at hand, because it was weird, so I took another look." Then, the old man swore to God, "Yuan'er is easy to be my granddaughter, don't talk nonsense! I am innocent and have nothing to do with it! "

Zhan Zhao and the others looked at the sky, this Mrs. Wang is not inferior to Mrs. Lin Xiao's old-fashioned, don't prove your innocence by death, and quickly nod to express your trust in him.

"You mean, Qin Ji in Fuxian Tower is holding the round fan with these three Jintuo statues painted on it?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Mrs. Wang nodded, "I should be right."

"Yao Shanshui..." Zhan Zhao stroked his chin.

Yao Shanshui is also a literati, a well-known painter in the imperial city. He is quite famous for his romantic nature, and he should have a lot of confidante friends, but it is a bit strange for a normal girl to hold a round fan with such a terrible pattern.

Zhan Zhao thought it was a clue, so he could ask this Yuaner.

Master Wang took a breath, and told the others, "Everyone, don't forget to come to Taixue this afternoon! Also, Master Lin said that he wants to discuss the exchanges between the four courtyards. When the time comes, the masters will have a meeting. Participation is related to the honor and disgrace of Taixue, so we must help each other!"

After speaking, Master Wang went back to Taixue.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang—mouse, what about teaching?

Bai Yutang was silent for a while, looking at Zhan Zhao - I told you to elope and you didn't come with me!

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, and pouted his mouth to the side - how do you get away with a family?

Bai Yutang turned his face away, and saw Tianzun with hands behind his back, discussing with Hou Yin, "What should I teach them?"

Yin Hou thought for a while, "Tell them that there are not many good people in Jianghu."

Tianzun nodded in agreement, and asked, "Do you want to tell them the embarrassing things about Zhao Zhen's father?"

Yin Hou thought it was pretty good, "And what bad things did Zhao Pu's father do..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had no choice but to support their foreheads—is it really okay to let these two go to teach? !I always feel like something's going to happen...
