Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter [-]: The Dead Prince

The black peacock has been removed, the seahorse has been broken, and the illusion is gone, the road ahead will be much smoother.But when everyone passed through the neatly arranged ridge beasts and entered the next extremely narrow stone room, they all stopped in surprise—there was no road ahead, and only a coffin was placed alone in the center of the stone room .

This is really a very simple stone room, the walls are rough and uneven, and the edges and corners of the rocks can be seen from time to time to catch the eye, and it looks very abrupt in the mid-air.The ground was messy, and the stains of dried mud covered the supposedly magnificent marble, which was as uncomfortable as a dusty mirror.And the faint ever-burning lights were not as uniform as before, they were scattered around messily, shaking shadows in the dim yellow.

This is the main tomb?

The one lying here is the owner of the tomb?

There was surprise in everyone's eyes.

I saw so many rare birds and treasures on the way forward, the main tomb is really shabby.

Xie Yi looked around, this tomb was only a quarter of the size of the previous stone chamber, no matter in terms of size or lack of funerary objects, it was indeed too "shabby".

It's just that the coffin is a strange one among the shabby ones, because it is a rare "lacquered coffin inlaid with jade" in the world.

What is "Jade Inlaid Lacquer Coffin"?On the outermost layer of the inner and outer coffins, countless top-quality jade pieces are used instead of patterns to cover the coffin, which is the so-called jade-inlaid lacquered coffin.This kind of jade coffin is only connected by jade pieces, not by any external force.In addition, the specially designed jade pieces often form magnificent patterns, such as dragons roaming nine heavens and immortals descending to earth.

In front of this jade-inlaid lacquer coffin, the pieces of jade form a pattern of double dragons playing with pearls.

Shen Ye and Xie Yi did not speak, and the tomb chamber, which is full of abruptness, can only reveal the answer when they know who the owner of the tomb is.

Liu He nodded to the people around him, and then three members of the Liu family stepped forward to check around the coffin—there was nothing valuable outside the coffin, so they could only do something to it.

But to everyone's pity, once the coffin is opened, the jade-inlaid lacquer coffin will really exist in name only.You must know that if the balance on the surface of the coffin is destroyed, these jade pieces will inevitably fall apart and cannot be spliced ​​back together.

Although the jade coffin was tightly fitted, naturalization was impossible within the reach of manpower. With the help of advanced coffin prying tools, the first thing to tell everyone about the opening of the coffin was the sound of jade pieces falling to the ground.

Under the dim light of the fire, the piece of jade looked like falling stars, and it seemed like bits and pieces of falling sky, it was really extremely beautiful.

Although I would lament the fall of the jade piece, but at this moment, opening the coffin is the most important thing.

A dark slit gradually appeared under the coffin lid, and it became wider and wider. The three people who opened the coffin breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out their hands to support the coffin lid.But unexpectedly, the lid of the coffin was not heavy. After touching it carefully, the inside of what I thought was a jade coffin was actually made of wood!

"Master!" The people who carried the coffin were all dumbfounded, their surprise at the texture of the coffin temporarily overshadowed their horror at the fraudulent corpse.

Liu He took a few steps forward: "Be careful."

The person who opened the coffin followed his words and carefully removed the lid.Then it was discovered that the inside of the coffin was indeed wood, and judging from the texture, it was still gloomy wood.

Is this expected, or unexpected?

The three continued to carefully move the coffin lid. After a while, there was no other sound in the room except the breathing of everyone.

The people who carried the coffin looked at each other, and looked at the situation in the coffin with confidence. For a moment, anger appeared on their faces: "Master, we have been fooled!"

The coffin lid placed on the edge of the coffin was lifted off, making a muffled "bump".Everyone hurried forward, and after seeing the inside of the coffin, disappointment, anger, and surprise flashed on their faces one by one.

After seeing the internal form clearly, Liu He staggered and almost fell unsteadily: "How could this be?"

How could it be such a worthless thing?

Xie Yi and Shen Ye also came to the side of the coffin, and saw a rotten corpse was placed upright inside the coffin.The clothes had already rotted over time, and there was no trace of flesh, only the gray bones, which still looked old.

This is indeed not a rich tomb, except for the jade covering on the face of the owner of the tomb, not to mention jade, there is not even a single copper coin!

Shen Ye and Xie Yi looked at each other with serious expressions.

Liu He's eyes turned black.

It is obviously the size of the tombs of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, and there are countless rare treasures before, so why is the main tomb so penniless?

What about the jade dress?Why is it jade-covered?

In the Han Dynasty, it was believed that jade could keep the corpse from decaying, so jade pieces were connected with gold thread to make a golden jade garment to wrap the corpse.The burial of the royal family in the Han Dynasty would inevitably use gold-threaded jade clothes, the next level would use silver-threaded jade clothes, and the next level would use copper-threaded jade clothes.Only those nobles whose families have declined will cover their faces with the jade used by ordinary people.

Jade covering the face, as its name suggests, can only cover the face, it is just a look for ordinary people to bury.After all, according to their opinion, where the jade pieces cannot cover, the corpse will rot at will.If he was really a prince, would his descendants really be willing to do this?Don't talk about face, this is all the lining is thrown away!

Not only Liu He, but the rest of the people just thought that this was the rotten vegetable porridge that was served suddenly after the feast, how could it not make people sick?

Seeing that the Liu family was full of anger and disappointment, Xie Yi didn't try to comfort them for a while. They needed time to sort out the sacrifices made along the way and the so-called achievements before them.

And he and Ah Ye have other important things to find.

The hand that was stretched into the coffin was suddenly grabbed, Xie Yi raised his head and asked doubtfully, "A Ye?"

Shen Ye glanced at him: "I'll do it." After finishing speaking, he took out the dark sword and turned it around the corpse as a stick.

The gray-brown rotten clothes fell apart at the touch of a touch. Finding things in this empty coffin was very easy. After a while, Shen Ye found all the buried items inside.

Putting those small objects aside, Xie Yi looked down, a little disappointed: "It's the jade plug."

The burials of the Han Dynasty would be filled with jade at the seven orifices, which is also a way to prevent the corpse from decomposing, and there are exactly seven small jade plugs inside the coffin.

Along the way, they didn't see any clues related to Liuyue City.

Could it be that the news is wrong?

Is it really nothing?

Unwilling to give up, Xie Yi carefully scanned the corpse up and down, and finally found a small protrusion under the jade-covered face: "A Ye, what is there?"

Shen Ye also found that small regular square object, raised his sword slightly, and the thing rolled out with a "gululu".On the side facing the crowd, there are only three big characters: Chu Wangyin.

Without Xie Yi's signal, Shen Ye cleverly picked up the seal.Playing with the Chu King Seal in his hand, Shen Ye looked at Xie Yi: "Do you know who it is?"

Xie Yi nodded.

Liu He and the others didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

A seal is enough to tell everyone present the identity of the tomb owner.

In the pre-Han period, the powerful Chu king was buried hastily, adding to the evil beasts that caused disasters. Except for the third Chu king Liu Wu, Xie Yi couldn't think of anyone else.

Liu Wu, the cousin of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, was a prince of one party, but he gathered other princes and kings to rebel against Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.Due to the failure of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Liu Wu finally had to kill himself.

If it were him, all this would make sense.

Because he is a vassal king, there will be terracotta warriors and horses, and there will be a large burial pit, but also because of rebellion, Emperor Han Jing did not allow him to live smoothly after death.If it goes well, what should we do if we rebel again?Therefore, those fierce beasts were placed in this tomb.Moreover, because of his rebellion, Liu Wu was not allowed to use the royal family's golden jade clothes, but only a piece of jade covering his face, which showed the desolation of this king of Chu after his death.

Liu He looked at the seal in Shen Ye's hand, and couldn't help but smile wryly: "It's actually Liu Wu, King of Chu. After all, this seal is quite valuable."

Why is it Liu Wu?In this way, what are their sacrifices along the way?

I thought I could bring back a very precious treasure, but now, it has ended like this.

Seeing Liu He's gloomy expression, Xie Yi comforted him, "This is definitely Liu Wu's tomb, but it's too early to draw conclusions."

Liu He's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Mr. Xie?"

Xie Yi laughed: "Think about it carefully, if it's really just Liu Wu, those terracotta warriors would not look like this."

The author has something to say: Liu Wu's tomb get (゜▽＾*))

But will this be the end, guess, guess, watch (￣▽￣)
