the last priest

Back under the largest bronze coffin again, several people looked around, and felt relieved that no "corpse silkworm" had been found. ▏中㊣ ▏

Cha Wenbin looked up at the top of the cliff, and the light from the tactical spotlights followed. Except for a huge bronze disc exposed, there was a cave in the center of the disc, but it was just dark. Why? Can't even see what's inside.

Cha Wenbin shook the spotlight, let the light swirl in the cave, and said, "Did you see, there is a hole in it."

Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong were also amazed again and again. It turned out that the worm just crawled into that hole. Chao Zi gestured at the cave with his finger and said: "The top of the cliff is only 20 meters high from the ground, and the entrance of the cave seems to be enough. It can accommodate one person, how about I climb up to have a look?"

Zha Wenbin's style of doing things has always been to seek stability. Before he has figured out the truth of the matter, he generally will not take the initiative to attack.But now they all saw the "Corpse Silkworm King" go up and down with their own eyes. If they don't figure out the mess, they don't know if they will have a chance to come back when they go out. After some consideration, they are firm. Said: "Go up and have a look!"

This kind of work is really difficult for these people. Chaozi took out the climbing rope on his body, tied a stone on his head, tied a knot, and swung the rope in his hand with a "huhu" sound. , accelerated to the point where only a circle could be seen with the naked eye, suddenly loosened the hand, and the stone flew towards the top of the cliff with a rope. With a sound of "clang", the stone entangled with the bronze disc above, which itself was hollowed out. , the outer circle is a circle, and the middle is also a circle. The two circles are connected by five bronze rods, and the hole is at the position of the inner circle.

The rope was wrapped around one of the bronze rods at this moment, and Chaozi pulled it hard a few times, but it didn't move at all. Thinking about the five huge bronze coffins hanging under this thing, how could this weight still be bearable.

Chaozi gently put Leng Yiran on the ground on his back, with a dagger in his mouth, exchanged glances with Cha Wenbin and began to climb up.This kind of work is not difficult for him, but the height of 20 meters today makes him have an indescribable pressure. The closer he is to the dark hole, the stronger the sense of oppression. After a while of smoke, Chao Zi had already reached the entrance of the cave, and waved to the people below to signal that he had arrived.Cha Wenbin made a gesture to enter the hole, Chaozi took a deep breath, and poked his head in.

There is a lot of space inside, and Chaozi can tell at a glance that this is a hollowed out mountain. Someone has dug such a cave on the top of the cliff. Also because it has been soaked in water for many years, there are still a lot of accumulations in the cave at this moment. water.The light swept over, but the entire cave could not be fully seen. A huge sarcophagus was lying quietly beside the cave. Chaozi glanced up from the bottom. There was no coffin lid, compared to the bronze coffin lid that fell just now It should be here. The coffin lid is made of bronze, but the body of the coffin is made of stone. Why?Chaozi only felt that the sarcophagus in front of him was very penetrating at the moment, and before he got close, the cold breath had already made his hairs stand on end, so he quickly took another step down, and the whole person reappeared outside the cave.

Chaozi hung on the rope and rushed down, shouting: "Brother Wenbin, there is a coffin inside, but it is not made of bronze, it is made of stone! The lid of the coffin has been opened, so we can't see what's inside!"

Cha Wenbin heard that the top was actually a sarcophagus, which was beyond his expectation. So far, there has never been a coffin made of two materials, which is definitely an exception!He ordered to glance at Leng Yiran who was on the ground, and said to Zhuo Xiong: "Brother Zhuo Xiong, I'll go up and have a look, and you stay below to watch the equipment and people. If there is any movement in a while, you can call us loudly."

Going up towards Chao Yao again, he tightened the rope again. Although he felt a little trembling in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to say so, so he could only bite the bullet and climbed into the cave again, squatted down next to the sarcophagus, and put the shotgun Facing the coffin, I thought to myself: If something pops out of you, don't blame the young master for shooting your head off!

"What are you doing, Chaozi? Put the gun away. In such a small space, if it goes off, it won't hurt you." Chaozi looked down, and Cha Wenbin's head had already got in at this moment. He put down the shotgun, He took the handle and pulled hard, and Cha Wenbin had already entered.

Looking around, this is a cave with a size of about ten square meters and a height of about three meters. The stone walls around the cave are full of traces of artificial excavation. It is the same as Chaozi described, except for a sarcophagus lying quietly in the middle. Nothing superfluous.

"Chaozi, you are an archaeologist. What do you think this cave is for?"

Chaozi replied: "Brother Wenbin, it is common to dig holes in cliffs or use natural caves to place coffins. Those are called hanging coffins, and there are many in the Three Gorges. It’s the first time I’ve seen it, but since it’s used to place coffins, it should be a tomb.”

Cha Wenbin nodded and said, "Yes, this should be a tomb. To be honest, it's the first time I've seen this kind of tomb, but it's not the first time I've heard of it."

"So, Brother Wen Bin, do you know the origin of this kind of tomb?"

Zha Wenbin pointed to the five bronze coffins below and said: "Take the five things used by the owner of the tomb as suspicious tombs, arrange them according to the five elements, and use the four images to correspond to a person's life. "Wood, fire, gold ", water" can represent birth, growth, old age, and death respectively. The soil in the middle means that it is safe to enter the earth, that is, from the perspective of the five coffins below, this person has completed all the transfers in the yang world, which is in line with the requirements of human death. the final destination."

He continued: "But this person was unwilling to die like this, and he piled up his corpse into a Bagua map as a funeral. A large amount of Yin Qi gathered in this ancient well, artificially turning this place into a human world." Hell makes it impossible for everyone to detect signs of life when they approach here, leaving only death for everyone. We have not looked at the four bronze coffins in the village on the ground. Judging from the four fierce beasts guarding them, the four The mouth should also be a suspicious tomb, and the tomb owner’s dead things were used as a substitute, and the purpose should be to let the heirs come to worship, but in fact, his purpose of doing this is nothing more than to tell the world that he is dead.”

After hearing such a big set, Chaozi didn't quite understand, and asked, "Brother Wenbin, what do you mean is that this person has gone through so much trouble just to declare himself dead? If he dies, he's dead. Did you come up with such a trick?"

Chawen smiled, and then said: "Chaozi, have you ever heard of the Three Realms and Five Elements? The "Three Realms" refers to the three realms of heaven, earth, and human beings; the "Five Elements" refer to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In Taoism According to the Chinese saying, there is a way to avoid death, that is to "jump out of the three realms, not in the five elements"! Because everything in the world is within the scope of the "three realms" and "five elements", life and death follow the cycle of cause and effect .If you can break away from the scope of the Three Realms and Five Elements, then you can be free from the constraints of this scope, that is, you can live freely and live forever.”

Chaozi was very surprised. He was a materialist through and through, but since the Wangzhuang incident, he met Zha Wenbin and began to have new changes in his views on some things, especially when he came here. Many things I have already told him with my own eyes that this cannot be explained by science, and asked Zha Wenbin: "Brother Wenbin, is there really immortality in this world? How can he jump out of the three realms and five elements?"

Cha Wenbin said: "In my opinion, these coffins are not buried at one time, but separated. It's just that a special ceremony needs to be done before each burial. This person has three souls and seven souls. The soul is one of the souls called fetal light, which is the qi of Taiqing Yang and harmony, and belongs to the sky; the second soul is called refreshing spirit, which is the change of yin qi, and belongs to the five elements; the third soul is called Youjing, which is mixed with yin qi, and belongs to the earth. If the three souls are gathered together, they will be red and look like a human being."

Chaozi glanced at Zha Wenbin, trying to find the red human figure on his body, not wanting to be caught by Cha Wenbin and said: "Don't look for it, ordinary people can't see it."

Seeing that he was seen through, Chaozi could only stick out his tongue, and then asked, "What about the seven souls?"

"Seven souls, they are corpse dog, Fushi, sparrow Yin, swallow thief, non-poison, decontamination, and stinky lung. These seven souls are black, and usually represent your previous life. If you were reincarnated as an animal, it is The appearance of a beast, if a person is reincarnated, it will be a human form. Among the three souls, the two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, only the soul of fate lives alone, and the three souls of heaven, earth and life do not often meet together. Two of the seven souls Two earth souls and three human souls, yin and yang correspond to each other, never separate, and are always attached to the human body. The seven souls of the human body are controlled by the soul of fate. The soul of fate is also called the soul of man, or the soul of sex. Life is born from life soul living in the womb. After the life soul lives in the womb, it distributes its energy on the seven chakras of the human body's midvein, forming the seven souls of a person. The soul is unique to the human body. After that, the seven souls dissipated, and the soul of life also left, and our life came to an end and ended with this." After Zha Wenbin finished speaking, he suddenly pointed at the seven-star sword in his hand and shouted: "Come out! Come on, Destiny Soul! You shouldn't still exist in this world."

Chaozi was so drunk by Cha Wenbin, he subconsciously made a smart move, and saw that Cha Wenbin had put away his original relaxed expression, and looked at the sarcophagus with a righteous face. The sword had already touched the sarcophagus!This sudden change caught Chaozi off guard, and before he was ready to move, there was a "dong dong dong" sound. After listening carefully, the sound turned out to come from the sarcophagus. . . . . .
