The so-called inheritance site is not as magnificent and mysterious as imagined.
In fact, this is a cellar with an area of only ten square meters at most.
After passing through dozens of steps, a thick sulfur dioxide came to my face, and black smoke billowed inside, as if it was lit. It should be that the bastard Ma Liuzhi did not extinguish the kerosene lamp before leaving. There was no ventilation inside, and after burning for a long time, the air was naturally extremely dirty.
I just took a rough look here, and then hurriedly retreated, and waited until the thick smoke inside was almost dried before going in again.
Although the inheritance site is small and simple, the actual building specifications are not low.
I patted the walls on all four sides, which were very thick. They should be built by splitting the mountain and taking stones. In the construction process, lime slurry and mud were used to fill the gaps, and then the inner and outer walls were thickened with blue bricks. The middle was filled with loess and pebbles, and finally compacted into walls in layers.
This method of building walls was generally used to rammed city walls in ancient times. Today, most of the city walls between Shanhaiguan and Juyongguan we see are built in this way, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of ancient construction technology. When the Qing army entered the pass, they were actually equipped with artillery, but they could not do anything about these city walls. If it were not for the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen beheaded Yuan Chonghuan, and Wu Sangui opened the door to let the Qing army enter the pass, it would be hard to say whether the Qing army could easily cross Shanhaiguan in the end.
Modern people have done experiments. The city walls built with this method are difficult to destroy at once even with some modern artillery. Of course, if you insist on arguing with me with the sacred caliber of 152, then I won't say anything.
Which tomb robber would drive a heavy tank to rob tombs for no reason?
Once this kind of wall structure appears in a tomb, the tomb robbers can basically only stare blankly and cannot destroy it violently unless they find the right way to enter.
It can be seen how much the ancestors of the Ran tribe valued this place.
The furnishings in the dark room were simple. A crystal clear bed was placed in the middle. It was warm in color and should be made of jade. Its value was probably inestimable. At the head of the bed, there was a wooden box bound by iron sheets. It was extremely heavy. A long strip of lock made of fine steel was hung on the wooden box. I recognized it at a glance. This lock should be a chain lock, which is also a kind of mechanical lock. The internal reed structure is very complicated and divided into several sections. Each section is a lock. If you want to open it, you need to open all the locks inside. Fortunately, Ma Liuzhi left in a hurry and probably thought that no one could enter here, so the chain lock was open...
I looked around and finally my eyes fell on this jade bed, which was covered with white mist. I thought it was the smoke in the dark room that had not yet dissipated. Without thinking too much, I approached it step by step. This should be the bed that concerns Ma Liuzhi's life and property. Unfortunately, apart from the precious material, I can't see any other difference. If Lao Bai came here, he might have to cover his chest and shout in pain again, but I still think my life is more important, so I am ready to destroy it directly.
"This is..."
Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice sounded in my heart. It was Cang Yao who had been silent for a long time. Since I provoked the thunder, she fell into silence. I almost forgot about her existence. Now she spoke, which scared me a lot. I paused, and then I heard the other party's voice almost screaming: "Give me this thing!"
I asked in my heart: "Why? Is this thing important?"
Cang Yao said in a nagging way that this is Kunlun Mist Stone!
Soul-dwelling Stone?
I was shocked. I had never seen or recognized this thing, but it didn't mean that I had never heard of it.
There is such a story about this Kunlun Mist Stone in the world.
Around the Western Han Dynasty, Yuchi established the Kingdom of Khotan in the Tarim Basin. On the riverside of this country, there lived an old stonemason. One day, the old stonemason picked up a white stone with white mist on it, which was very magical. So he carved the stone into a lifelike jade beauty. Looking at this perfect work, the old stonemason couldn't help but sigh that it would be great if he had such a daughter.
As a result, the jade beauty turned into a human when she fell to the ground. The old stonemason named her Tashguli.
Later, the old stonemason died. A bully coveted Tashguli's beauty, so he snatched her away and forced her to marry him. Tashguli refused to obey. The bully was angry and wanted to destroy her if he couldn't get her. He swung a knife at Tashguli. As a result, Tashguli burst out with dazzling light, burned the bully's house, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and flew to Kunlun Mountain.
A local proverb says that it is better to be white jade on the mountains than to be a carpet in the Bayi Hall. It is believed that jade is the incarnation of a beautiful girl.
Some people also say that the stone picked up by the old stonemason is mutton-fat jade.
In fact, this is not right. Jade has nothing to do with the girl. The girl in the story, in the words of our industry, belongs to the mountain spirit, or it can be said that it is a jade spirit. The stone surrounded by white mist is not mutton-fat jade, but Kunlun mist stone!
This Kunlun mist stone is very strange. It will attract souls to drill into it, and then gradually nurture this soul into a jade spirit in the stone. It has many changes and is quite capable.
These jade spirits are very smart. Some big demons and evil ghosts often capture them and eat them, which can greatly increase their Taoism!
I think that Cang Yao is interested in this bed, and I guess he wants to swallow the jade spirit inside!
This kind of jade essence actually has no wisdom itself. It is not as smart and strong as described in the story. It is not within the five elements. It is actually a very special tonic. There is no cause and effect after swallowing it. I don't dislike it, but I think it is rare to see such legendary things.
No one knows how this thing came into being.
From a mythological perspective, Kunlun Mountain was once the Taoist temple of the Queen Mother of the West. People say that this thing is actually the pebble in the bathing pool of the Queen Mother of the West, but this is basically nonsense. People have flown to outer space and have not seen any gods. Another saying is that Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of all mountains, the dragon court where dragon veins gather, and the dragon veins intersect and merge, making some stubborn stones spiritual.
Anyway, there are many different opinions.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Suddenly, An Ru pushed me from behind, and when she saw me come to my senses, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought something was wrong with you..."
"Nothing, just thinking about something."
I smiled at her, and then quickly said to Cang Yao in my heart: "I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. I'm counting on destroying this bed to save my life?"
"Destroy it to save my life?"
Cang Yao was a little confused. She had just woken up and didn't know what happened. But this matter was a long story, and I couldn't explain it to her all at once. She simply didn't ask any more questions. She was thinking about her jade essence and immediately said: "It doesn't matter if it is destroyed. Just put the wind chime on this bed before you start..."
I could agree to this, and did what she said, and then swung the Tianguan Blade and smashed it hard on this bed.
Although Kunlun Mist Stone looks similar to jade, it is not as hard as jade. Just hitting it with the Tianguan Blade will leave the whole bed full of ice cracks.
Not long after, with a "boom", the whole bed completely shattered.
Seeing that this thing finally broke, I breathed a sigh of relief. It felt unreal. After all this trouble, I finally broke this thing. The six fingers of the horse should be finished, right? And the evil spirit outside should also be dispersed, right?
I picked up the wind chime and asked Cang Yao in my heart: "Have you finished your work?"
"Strange..."
Cang Yao muttered softly.
I noticed her doubts and asked her what was strange.
Cang Yao said softly: "The jade essence is gone..."
"It makes sense."
I smiled and said: "Someone has slept on this bed for decades, and it is also a ghost. If this is really Kunlun Mist Stone, how can it be your turn?"
"But..."
Cang Yao said: "If the jade essence is gone, the essence on the Kunlun Mist Stone should have dissipated long ago. How can there be such a strong essence? In short, I still gained something."
She didn't understand these questions, how could I understand?
After smashing the bed, I completely relaxed, but I didn't rush to leave. Instead, I went to look through the big box. After all, the legendary Yanshi mechanism is likely to stay here. How could I not be interested?
There are mostly some gold and silver jewelry in the box. I don't know whether it was left by the ancestors of the Ran clan or looted by Ma Liuzhi, the bastard. It's a full box, which is amazing. However, there is a parchment book at the bottom of the box, which is quite old.
This should be the so-called inheritance!
I was overjoyed and took it out. I unfolded it. It was written in the small seal script of the pre-Qin period. I had some difficulty reading it, but I could still recognize it basically - this is indeed the legendary Yanshi mechanical technique!
The parchment scroll is very long, and there are some tiny words inside. I took a quick look and found that it recorded at least thirty or fifty mechanical techniques, and also some witchcraft. These mechanical techniques and witchcraft are unheard of by me. They are quite novel and extremely valuable. To me, they are much more valuable than this box of gold and silver jewelry. After all, gold and silver will run out, but this thing can sometimes save your life!
Soon, a kind of witchcraft included in it attracted my attention.
The name of this witchcraft is Shengjisan.
The main material for making this witchcraft is a kind of insect called corpse beetle.
This kind of insect is raised from corpses.
The parchment roll says that after the corpse rots, it seeps into the soil. After digging up the soil, the eggs of flies and insects are buried in it, and some witchcraft supplies such as bones and blood plasma are added. It is placed in a humid and warm place, sealed, and raised for 49 days. A kind of blood-red small insect will be born, which is the corpse beetle.
The corpse beetle is dried and ground into powder. Finally, some common herbs such as thistle and crane grass are added. It is placed on the ghost and warmed for several months, and the muscle-growing powder is formed.
This is a blood-red powder that can stop bleeding and grow muscle, and the effect is surprisingly good.
It even records the various symptoms after using this muscle-growing powder.
These symptoms seem so familiar to me that I can't help but think of the powder that An Ru used on my wound on the night of escape.
No matter how you look at it, the powder that An Ru used on me is the muscle-growing powder! !
How does she... know this thing?
I felt creepy and subconsciously looked at An Ru...
At this time, Xiao Mi suddenly rushed in.
"Big brother, big brother!!"
She called me hurriedly, and after coming in, she pulled me up and ran outside without saying anything, saying, "Ma Liuzhi is here, we can't stay here any longer, we have to leave quickly?"
Ma Liuzhi?
I was already confused, and when I heard this name, I was even more confused. I immediately asked, "Has the fog outside not dissipated?"
Xiao Mi suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked at the fragments of the jade bed in the dark room, her mouth slightly open, her expression stagnant...
No need to answer, I already have the answer!
Bang!
Without any warning, a heavy blow suddenly landed on the back of my head, with great force, hitting me staggering, and before I could turn around, another blow landed on the back of my head fiercely. This time I couldn't bear it at all, my eyes went black, and I fell towards Xiao Mi...
