Chapter 290 The art of disgust! (4100)(1/2)
Although Yang Wanli and Yu Ji were enemies, he knew that this matter was a matter of life and death.
Therefore, when Yu Ji scolded him this time, he did not dare to argue with him. Instead, he honestly shut his mouth and stood aside.
Yu Ji then showed a proud look on his face and continued: "This slip also said that before this, there was a small test in the tomb. If we rob the tomb without a bottom line and wantonly destroy the objects in the coffin,
, especially if the pottery head is damaged, then we will be dead, and the owner of the tomb does not dare to expect us to let him go, so he has to leave us here to be buried with him."
"If we did not damage the pottery head in advance, it means that we should still have a little respect for the owner of the tomb. It is not that the owner of the tomb has let us go, but that we have let ourselves go..."
"Pottery head?"
After hearing this, everyone unconsciously turned to look at the pottery head that had been moved outside the coffin.
Could there be another mystery behind this head?
Especially Dian Wei.
The pottery head just now was removed from the coffin by his own hands. Although it was a little heavy, it didn't feel much different from ordinary pottery, so he didn't take it seriously.
However, under the leadership of Wu Liang, the Hu army had a relatively good bottom line in robbing tombs.
At least no matter what unscrupulous things the tomb owner did during his lifetime, Wu Liang would never expose the tomb owner’s body to the wilderness, let alone destroy the tomb wantonly, and even after taking away the things he needed, he would
Help the owner of the tomb seal the tomb again, and install a small anti-theft measure that is more effective than before.
Today's tomb robbers are completely different.
Take Lu Bu as an example. This person does not pay attention to tomb robbing. When he followed Dong Zhuo, he burned down the Luoyang Palace and dug up all the famous Han Dynasty imperial tombs in Luoyang. His methods were very low-level.
He led a large army to excavate, destroy the corpses and loot the treasures, leaving nothing behind, and implemented the "Three Lights" policy.
Therefore, for the tomb owners who suffered tomb robberies, Wu Liang and the Hu army were many times more kind than ordinary tomb robbers.
only……
What is the mystery behind this pottery head?
Everyone has begun to secretly speculate.
Is it possible that there is poison that is harmful to people's lives hidden in it, and once it is damaged, the poison will leak out and kill them all?
Or maybe there is some powerful mechanism hidden inside, which will be triggered when damaged, and can shoot out powerful weapons to kill them?
Everyone was puzzled.
The most important thing is, no matter what is hidden inside, is there anything that can break through these strong and thick copper walls?
If they cannot break through these copper walls, they will still be trapped in this place and be buried with the tomb owner, right?
"Old sir, go on."
Wu Liang was also a little confused, so he decided not to continue thinking wildly until Yu Ji translated all the contents in the slips.
"The slip does not specify how we should escape. It only mentions the two volumes of 'diamonds' in the young master's hand."
Yu Ji nodded slightly and said, "It is said that after we read the contents of 'Diamond Diamond', we will naturally find a way to escape, and then we can leave on our own."
"!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Liang suddenly had a direction.
The "diamond" in his hand mentioned this strange mouse-like object, and said that this strange object was "carved with it, and it is indestructible."
"Looking for answers..."
Could it be that there is a "diamond diamond" hidden in this tomb, and the "diamond diamond"'s "indestructible" property can break through these strong and thick copper walls?
If you think about it this way.
Could it be that the "diamond" hidden in that pottery head was right?
When this idea came up, Wu Liang immediately had several doubts:
The "diamond" recorded in the slips seems to be a very strange creature.
Wu Liang had just carefully observed the pottery head. The pottery head was fired in one piece. There were no holes or gaps on it. Even if it was not vacuum, it must be completely sealed.
It was really hard for Wu Liang to imagine how a creature could live for nearly a thousand years inside a completely sealed pottery head. This in itself was an incredible thing.
So if there really is a "diamond" hidden in that pottery head, is it still alive?
Even if "diamond" is really useful, is "dead diamond" still useful?
besides.
Pottery needs to be fired at high temperatures, and the pottery made from this kind of corpse must first be wrapped in clay and then fired to make such a pottery head. This is undoubtedly another reason.
Increased the possibility that "Diamond" is dead.
Even though the slip said that "Diamond" has only one weakness: "It can break into pieces if struck with an antelope horn." Wu Liang still had a hard time imagining that a living creature could live in such a situation for nearly a thousand years.
This is probably similar to the monkey monkey in the later mythological novel "Journey to the West" who could not be burned to death by the alchemy furnace and was unharmed despite being crushed by Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years...
There may be other explanations, and the answers lie in the slips in his hand.
However, Wu Liang was not in a hurry to find the answer. Instead, he calmed down and looked at Yu Ji again, and asked, "Did the above say anything else?"
"It also says that the owner of the tomb studied many alchemy techniques during his lifetime, but the one he was most proud of and was the most expert at was the 'Art of Disgusting Impeachment'."
Yu Ji paused and then said, "The owner of the tomb relied on this 'disgusting technique' to fight against Lu Zuo, who was driven to the Japanese country by Jiang Taigong, and saved the life of Lu Ji, Duke of Qi Ding. Unfortunately, there are still several brothers who are fighting for it."
The owner of the tomb still felt guilty for the harm caused by Lu Zuo until his death. Therefore, before his death, he used his talent to improve the 'Art of Disgust and Impeachment', making its effect even more powerful. If Lu Zuo comes back, he will definitely be able to make people suffer.
Instead, he lost his life."
"It is a pity that the descendants of the tomb owner did not inherit the talent of the tomb owner. Even if they have practiced the 'Art of Disgusting' for generations, not only have they made no progress, they cannot even understand the mystery of it. Since the death of the tomb owner, this 'disgusting technique' has
The art of impeachment has almost been lost."
"For this reason, the descendants of the Qiu family have been looking for strangers who can inherit the mantle of the tomb owner."
"It wasn't until Qiu Loujia, the patriarch of the Qiu family, that he moved his entire clan to the Chu Kingdom in order to save his people. At that time, their situation was not good. In order to prevent the 'Art of Disgusting Impeachment' from being lost in their hands, Qiu Loujia had to re-establish
When the tomb was built for the owner of the tomb, the original copy of the 'Art of Disgusting' was placed in the tomb to be buried with him. The family only left a manuscript for future generations to study or continue to look for strangers who could inherit the mantle of the tomb owner.
"
"The slip also said that since we can see this volume of 'Rumei', it has proved our ability, so we are asked to also study 'Yankai'. If we have an epiphany after reading it, then the owner of the tomb The 'Art of Disgusting' is ours. If the descendants of the Qiu family are unable to understand the mystery, please preserve the 'Art of Disliking' and find talented strangers to pass it on to others. Don't It fails the tomb owner’s hard work.”
"In addition, there is another request in the slip."
"This pottery jar contains the body of the owner of the tomb. Back then, someone from the Japanese country crossed the sea and sneaked into Qi State to look for Qiu Mu Cemetery and tried to damage Qiu Mu Gong's mausoleum. The descendants of the Qiu family were unprepared for a moment and actually taught the Japanese people If he succeeds, he not only steals the treasures in the tomb, but also burns the body of the owner of the tomb."
"They suspected that this was Lu Zuo's handiwork. Back then, Duke Mu of Qiu relied on the 'Art of Disgusting and Impeachment' to save Duke Lu Ji of Qi Ding, which also caused Lu Zuo to suffer the backlash of the evil spell, causing half of his body to lose consciousness. Fang Shu He was mostly wasted. Lu Zuo certainly held a grudge and threatened to crush Duke Qiu Mu to ashes, but later Lu Zuo was sent to Japan by Grand Duke Jiang and there was no news of him."
"Therefore, this matter must have something to do with Lu Zuo. I'm afraid that he had already had some good weather in the Japanese country at that time, so he could send people across the ocean to take revenge."
"But these are the household affairs of the Lu family, and we don't need to pay attention to those of us who don't want to do it. The descendants of the Qiu family only hope that we will not touch the pottery pot again and not disturb the cleanliness of the tomb owner. They are among the slips. expressed his gratitude.”
"That's it."
Having said this, Yu Ji finally stopped, but his old eyes looked at the wooden box with the word "Yanxi" written on it.
Obviously, this "art of disgust and impeachment" is quite attractive to this old boy who is devoted to Taoism. If Wu Liang is willing to give it to him to study, he would definitely like it.
"I see."
Wu Liang nodded.
It was finally explained why Qiu Mugong's remains were put in the jar. It turned out that they had been burned into ashes, but they were not cremated voluntarily, but by force.
Wu Liang also agrees with the speculations of the Qiu family descendants. If the Qiu Mu Cemetery was previously destroyed by Japanese people, then the possibility that it is related to Lu Yin is indeed very high.
Wu Liang even suspected that the mysterious queen "Himihu" of Yamatai Kingdom in Japan might have some connection with Lu Yin.
"Bimihu" is the originator of the ancient Japanese religion "Ghost Taoism".
And the prototype of "Ghost Taoism" is the "Taoism" of the early Celestial Dynasty. Even if "Ghost Taoism" is not original to the Japanese country, then this thing must have a source, and it cannot appear out of thin air.
In addition, Lu Yin is the earliest foreigner Wu Liang knows to go to the Japanese country and is very good at "Alchemy". At the same time, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, he was able to instruct the Japanese to come across the ocean and come to the Qi Kingdom to avenge Qiu Mu Gong. This is enough This shows that Lu Yin had a certain influence in the local area soon after he went to Japan.
Even Xu Fu, who traveled eastward from the Qin Dynasty, was hundreds of years later than Lu Yin.
However, there is no record about "Lv Yin" in the history of the Japanese state, but Xu Fuke is much more famous, and some unofficial historians even record Xu Fu's family history in detail.
Therefore, the "ghost Taoism" that appeared during this period may also be related to Xu Fu.
Wu Liang has no strong evidence to prove this yet, so he can't make a final conclusion. He can only wait until he has the opportunity to go to Japan to see the legendary queen "Himihu" before making a decision...
But right now, the most important thing is how to escape.
Seeing that Yu Ji's thoughts were all focused on "Yanxi", Wu Liang was not surprised, and handed him the wooden box containing "Yanxi" with his backhand: "If you want to see it, take a look first.
A few glances may be helpful to us, so I'll just check out the 'Diamond'."
It is very clear in "Rumei" that not everyone can understand the mystery of "the art of disgust and impeachment".
Wu Liang didn't know anything about these alchemy arts, so he didn't have much hope for himself. It would be good if Yu Ji could get some inspiration from them. At least he had another person in the tomb robbing team who could resist the evil arts. He didn't even think about it.
Will lose money.
"good!"
Yu Ji couldn't wait any longer, so he snatched "Yanxi" away and read it eagerly.
