Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 108 Bat Sword, Mo Dao
There are no nails in the sarcophagus, it is just covering the top of the coffin, as long as you lift it up, you can see the real content inside, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I don't know, some say that King Li Chuang is dead, and some say that he retired and changed his name Feng Tianyu lives in the world as a monk, but this conclusion is still rejected."

King Li Chuang went into seclusion. In the 80s of the last century, an ancient tomb was discovered somewhere in Hunan. Archaeologists found that the owner of the tomb, Fengtianyu monk, violated the monk's regulations and was buried according to the customary rites. Monk Yu is probably Li Zicheng.But the result was denied again. In the history of Fengtianyu's monkhood, Fengtianyu monk had close contacts with local officials, and he did not conform to Li Chuangwang's appearance characteristics of "Northern Shaanxi accent, a little over 40 years old, and one eye is blind". Therefore, this conclusion was rejected again.

Lao Jiu chuckled: "Open it and have a look."

In fact, I already smelled the rotten smell. I have no strength. Now Lao Jiu is our main force. He sneered, held the lid of the coffin with both hands, and lifted it vigorously, but it didn’t move. Embarrassed: "Don't give me face, Tao Ran, come and help me."

Tao Ran laughed immediately: "You are treating me like a man now."

Lao Jiu smiled and said: "In my eyes, you have always been a heroine, you are very brave."

Tao Ran knew it well, Lao Jiu was full of guard against her at the beginning, but as we joined the Liren group, the guard gradually disappeared, and the relationship between the two eased a lot.

The two worked together and finally lifted the coffin lid. Before the coffin lid was put down, Lao Jiu's face changed. Meng Luo and I asked at the same time: "What's wrong?"

"It's a female corpse." Lao Jiu sighed, and then he and Tao Ran put the coffin lid on the ground, and put their hands on their hips: "The chance to solve the eternal mystery is gone."

"Could it be Hong Niangzi?" I was overjoyed.

The four of them approached at the same time, Meng Luo took a look, his expression became bitter, he turned his head quickly, and said "uh", the corpse in the sarcophagus has rotted, we are underground, although we are still on the mountain However, it is surrounded by river water on all sides, and some moss even grows on some stone walls, which shows the humidity of the environment. In this environment, it is strange that the corpse does not rot. Lao Jiu suddenly reached in and picked up a flake of inexplicable color : "It's plant ash."

After burning the grass and trees, laying them in the coffin can absorb moisture and play a certain role in antisepsis, because after a long time, the corpse gas and liquid have been absorbed, and the grass ash has long been condensed into one piece, and the old nine will hold it in his hands Throwing the things down, he said: "It would be fine if it was a male corpse, let's confirm whether it is the red lady first."

The female corpse in the coffin has been decomposed by one-third, and her face is faintly recognizable. Her hands are folded on her chest. Through her clothes, I can accurately determine what dynasty she is: "Ming Dynasty woman."

Most noble ladies in the Ming Dynasty wore red gowns with large sleeves, while ordinary women could only wear peach red, purple green and some light colors.They usually wear short shirts and long skirts with ribbons around their waists. The skirts are wide and come in many styles, such as pleated skirts, phoenix tail skirts, moonlight skirts, etc. The women in the coffin wear ordinary short shirts and long skirts. , the skirt was a phoenix-tailed skirt, and the body was lying on a piece of cloth. Lao Jiu tore the piece of cloth without any scruples, pulled it out vigorously, and unfolded it to see: "It's a cloak."

Cloak, a double-breasted and long-sleeved coat worn on the body, is a long shirt with a straight collar, double-breasted, slits under the armpit, and two long sleeves.Unlike cloaks, which are often worn outdoors, capes can be worn both indoors and outdoors.It was popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Judging from many portraits and notes, the cloak was a popular clothing in the Ming Dynasty. "Cloak casual clothes" was mentioned in "Yun Jian Ju Mu Chao" in the late Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Because "men follow women but not women", the cloak is still popular for a while,
With a phoenix-tailed skirt and a cape, there is no need to doubt the dynasty of the female corpse. Moreover, Tao Ran said: "It is well known that the red lady likes to wear a cape. Could it be her?"

Lao Jiu said: "Yes or no, just go and look at the two corpses outside."

"Wait, look." I pointed at the head of the female corpse: "What is she sleeping on?"

Lao Jiu's hand is the fastest, and his reaction is always the fastest for anything that may be a weapon. The wooden sleeper was pulled out, and as soon as he held it in his hand, Lao Jiu laughed straight: "There is something inside."

Lao Jiu opened the wooden sleeper, and there was indeed a book inside!

Munro glanced at it, and said "wow": "Isn't this the long-lost "Anecdote and Secret Art"?"

The book was immediately snatched by Meng Luo. He held it in his hand, as if he was holding a long-lost treasure. Man, you'd have to ask me."

Meng Luo immediately snatched it back: "This thing is only useful if it falls into the right hands. If you don't know the secrets of Yin-Yang, if you take it, it's a heavenly book, and it's useless at all."

Lao Jiu finally stopped fighting with Meng Luo. Meng Luo opened the "Anecdote and Secret Art", and I leaned over to take a look. Although I knew the words on it, I thought it was a heavenly book. I immediately lost interest and was about to talk to Lao Jiu. , Meng Luo flipped through the book, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the last page. He suddenly stood there in a daze: "Hey, look quickly, there are two signatures here, one is Hong Niangzi, the other is... Tang Sai Son?"

When I heard the last name, I snatched the book back. There were indeed two signatures on the last page, Tang Saier was on the bottom, Hong Niangzi was on the top, and Hong Niangzi's signature had four words "Return to the original owner" , Lao Jiu also brought his head closer, swearing and shaking his head from side to side, but Tao Ran said rightly: "The red lady returns to the original owner, so this book originally belonged to Tang Sai'er, she took it back and returned it , but how did the red lady know about this..."

My eyes lit up, and I joked, "Officer Tao, do you know who Tang Sai'er is?"

Before Tao Ran could speak, Meng Luo spoke first: "Once captured, he will subdue the law and be calm and fearless. Naked and tied, he will be sentenced to death in the city. The blade cannot enter. If he has no choice, he will be sent to prison again. Miki is covered with iron. The button tied the feet, and both of them freed themselves, and fled without knowing where they ended up. The uncle said, this Tang Sai'er must be proficient in yin and yang, and he is not an ordinary person."

"You all know Tang Sai'er after learning this?" I immediately looked at Meng Luo with admiration.

"There are many strange people in history, and there are some legends in the folks, who always possess special skills." Meng Luo said: "This time the old Taoist is celebrating his birthday, I heard a lot of chats with them there, and I was inspired a lot. Since ancient times, the real strange people have been among the people. Take this Tang Sai'er as an example. It is said that she was once arrested, put in a cell, tied to a wooden frame, and her feet were chained, but she was miraculous. Escaping from the prison without a trace, the uncle said that this is very likely to follow the technique."

"Xunshu?" Lao Jiu said, "Like Tu Xingsun?"

"Actually, it's more like a blindfold." Meng Luo scratched his head: "It is said that it is a folk secret technique. I can't explain it clearly. I just heard it, but I didn't see it."

"I see." I snapped my fingers: "This female corpse is Tang Sai'er."

Tang Sai'er, whose birth and death are unknown, was the leader of the famous White Lotus Goddess who rebelled against the imperial court in the early Ming Dynasty. Tang Sai'er was from a poor family, and she learned martial arts from her father since she was a child.

After Zhu Di became emperor, he moved the capital from Nanjing to BJ and overhauled the palace.In order to support the officials and the army of the capital, they organized the south-to-north grain transfer, built canals, dug Huitong River, and recruited a large number of civilians. Tang Saier's hometown was the first to bear the brunt. She and her husband Lin San rushed into the government to ask for food, and Lin San was killed.Her father died of grief and anger, and her mother also died of a serious illness.She couldn't bear it anymore and decided to lead the people to revolt.

The uprising lasted only 1 days, but killed two generals of the Ming Dynasty and achieved two major victories.It is a pity that it still failed in the end. After being arrested, Tang Saier miraculously escaped from the trap and disappeared afterwards. In order to prevent Tang Saier from becoming a nun and mixing with the ranks of Taoist nuns, Emperor Yongle issued an order in March and May of the same year that all The nuns and Taoist priests in BJ and Shandong were all arrested to the capital, so more than [-] nuns and Taoist priests were arrested and questioned in the capital, but Tang Saier still did not know where to go.

If what Mengluo said is true, it is not surprising that Tang Saier has thaumaturgy and can miraculously get out of trouble. In addition, before we came in, there was a gossip array set up in front of the ghost wall, so we know that the people inside are not ordinary. .

But now there is a problem, if the person in the sarcophagus is Tang Sai'er, then how did the red lady come here? The huanghuali box, she has decided to be buried with herself and her husband, why did it spread to the outside world?
Lao Jiu stared at the book in Mengluo's hand, and said, "Don't care about this man, let's go and see the two coffins outside."

The two coffins outside are not sarcophagi. The two coffins are facing north and south, which seems to have some deep meaning. Lao Jiu took the lead in opening the one facing north. These are two willow coffins. The north one has coffin nails. He pried it open and opened the coffin lid, and what was inside surprised him: "Sword? Lin Tianyi, come here, you are good at this thing."

There are two weapons inside, one of which is a sword, a sword, one of the ancient weapons, is a short weapon.Known as the "lord of a hundred soldiers" reputation.The ancient sword is made of metal, long strip, with a pointed front end, a short handle at the back end, and a weapon with blades on both sides.During the Ming Dynasty, gunpowder was popular, and I had a Ming Dynasty palm thunder in my store before, which used gunpowder.

"Bat sword, this is a long sword for women." I said: "Look, the tsuba part is a lifelike bat. The bat of the bat is the same as Fu, which is a good luck. Its sword body is more suitable for girls to use." , the so-called sword moves lightly."

After all, it has been rusted for a long time, and it no longer has the vigor of the past. Besides, the other one is a knife, "Hehe, the improved Mo knife." I said: "The Mo knife was originally a heavy weapon in the Tang Dynasty. The Mo Dao may weigh 37 jins, but this one is because it is shortened to make it easier to carry, depending on the style and size, it is for men."
