The door was unlocked and opened with a creak!
What hit his face was a puff of dust that had been dusty for thousands of years, and what hit his nostrils was the indescribable ancient aura.
There is the solemnity of history and the lurking murderous intent in it.
And we are already prepared for a last-ditch battle!
After the tomb door was opened, there was actually no sneak attack, but the main tomb chamber that appeared in front of us shocked us...
The main tomb chamber is actually not rectangular or square, but octagonal.
A bronze altar in the shape of a trigram stood tall in its center, and above the altar, a white stone coffin lay quietly.
There is a bronze statue standing in each of the eight directions of the altar, about two meters high.
These bronze figures are dressed in different styles, including warriors with deer, priestesses with drums, young men holding torches, and people with exotic faces.
It should be the Ran, Qiang, and Yi people who made up the ancient Shu Kingdom, as well as the exiled people from other countries.
Hey, why is the last position empty?
In other words, there are actually seven bronze statues here.
And the strange thing is that no matter how they are dressed or what they are holding in their left hands, everyone is holding a polished ancient bronze mirror in their right hand.
These ancient bronze mirrors are dazzling. Although they are not as good as today's mirrors, the technology is already very superb.
More importantly, the heights and directions of the mirrors held by these bronze figures are slightly different. I wonder what they are used for?
Behind each bronze statue, there is a long passage. The passage is actually bright, and there are even rays of sunlight shining through the passage.
Seeing the pattern in front of him, Lao Jiang's eyes flashed and he said: "This is the eight-star worship coffin!"
"Eight-star worship coffin? What is eight-star worship coffin?" I asked curiously.
Lao Jiang told me: "This is a very ancient sealing formation. It requires eight people with absolute faith to stand in the eight directions of the Eight Diagrams: Qian, Kun, Li, Kan, Zhen, Xun, Gen and Dui to deal with evil. The power seals it.”
"Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Xun represents wind, Zhen represents thunder, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Gen represents mountain, and Dui represents lake. Liangyi produces the west elephant, and the west elephant produces the Bagua. The Bagua encompasses the heaven and the earth, giving birth to It controls all things, and its power is endless. This eight-star worship coffin uses the power of heaven and earth to seal the things in the sarcophagus. As long as the heaven and earth do not die, the power will not be destroyed. "
At this time, Lao Jiang also saw the doorways of the bronze statues holding mirrors in front of him: "The eight passages in the main tomb are all connected to the top of the mountain!
When the first ray of sunlight sets in the morning, it will shine into the main tomb chamber through the gap on the top of the mountain. The angle of the refracted sunlight is just right to shine on the first mirror, and the light from the first mirror will be reflected to the second mirror. On the mirror, this cycle repeats, and the last mirror will shine the hottest sunlight in the world on the sarcophagus of the altar, and these sunlight will also be infused with the power of faith. As long as the sun does not burn out, the contents of the sarcophagus will never turn over. "
This formation sounds like it is very powerful. I followed Lao Jiang's words and looked left and right in front of these bronze figures. I found that the hands holding the mirrors looked chaotic, but in fact each mirror was exactly at an angle of fifteen degrees to the west.
But when the sunlight is refracted to the eighth position, it is empty. Logically speaking, this beam of light cannot shine on the sarcophagus at all.
"Master, why are there only seven bronze statues here? Can it be considered an eight-star worship coffin?"
I asked suspiciously.
Could it be that there was originally a bronze statue here, but it was destroyed by Usi and the others?
Or, Lao Jiang’s so-called ‘eight-star worship coffin’ is just a personal conjecture.
"Look, what is that?"
We looked in the direction of the Acuo patriarch's fingers and saw countless lifelike birds hanging on bronze chains on the dome of the main tomb.
These birds are all made of gold, and they are shining like sun birds flying on the top of the tomb.
And in the center of this group of sun birds is the thickest and longest bronze chain, with a golden scepter hanging on the other end of the chain!
Countless sun birds surround this golden scepter, which is enough to illustrate its importance.
The golden scepter in front of me is exactly the same as the one held by Silkworm Cong in the mural. It is about one and a half meters long. I don’t know the exact weight.
Its body is carved with simple patterns. It doesn't look fancy, but it hides a strong intimidating power.
Just like the character of Cancong.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the tomb was also surrounded by scattered funerary objects, including ivory, rhinoceros horns, and bronze vessels used for sacrifice, such as animal-faced bronze roosters, bird-patterned square statues, and so on.
Soon I stopped laughing, because as the sun gradually shone into the tomb, the entire tomb became brighter and brighter.
In the passage behind the scattered funerary objects, a few dark shadows walked slowly.
One, two, three, the West!
Astonishingly, they were Wu Xi, Lao Wu, and Mingyue Ye, who was holding Ah Shui's hand.
After seeing us, Lao Wu clapped his hands and sneered, leaving an opening sentence: "You guys really didn't disappoint me. After all, you came in..."
"I was making a bet with Ussi just now. How many people will be missing when you come in? What a pity, it's all of them."
Wu Xi also twitched the corners of his mouth with disdain, his sinister face full of viciousness: "But soon, you will all die here."
Lao Jiang took a step forward and asked Wu Xi righteously: "Boy, Qilin and Heimiao have never crossed the river. Why do you want to cross the border? Aren't you afraid of an all-out war with Qilin?"
"As far as I know, Hei Miao has always been a loner. Why do you want to collude with that organization?"
That organization?
I don’t know how many times I have heard its name.
Wu Xi responded gloomily: "Hong Miao has never been afraid of Qilin, we are just too lazy to make enemies with you... But if anyone blocks my way, the only outcome will be death!"
"Although we Hei Miao are masters of Gu, we are not good at finding graves, cooperating with others, and win-win things. Why should we refuse? Besides, that organization is much easier to get along with than your soft-hearted Qilin. With them Help is a natural thing.”
"What's more, when we come to Wawu Mountain this time, the two sides have different plans!"
Wuxi played with the braids behind his ears, and then cast his eyes blankly at Yin Ling'er: "Sister Ling'er, the more I look at you, the more beautiful you become. The more I look at you, the more I want to eat you up."
Yin Ling'er was so angry that she bit her lower lip. She asked Wu Xi: "What do you want?"
