Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 147 Bronze Palace (Part 2)

I was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask Shirley Yang on the boat: "Guchai's sea-penetrating tattoo is so bizarre. Is he really a visitor to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?"

Shirley Yang speculated: "The Hentian clan was isolated overseas, smelting copper with dragon fire, and was far away from Chinese civilization. Therefore, many people did not believe that the bronze civilization here had once been at its peak. They probably died at the end of the Warring States Period, and their survivors lived on the sea and were destroyed by the Qin and Han Dynasties. The ruler is designated as Danhu, and Guchai is a remnant of the Hentian clan. His familiarity with the nature of water and the legend of the Hentian kingdom depicted on the tattoo of the penetrating sea formation are the best proof."

In the ancient "Moshan Taoist" art of moving mountains and dividing armor, there was the art of concealing images. Using secret medicine to prick the human skin and soaking it in salt water could reveal the hidden images. Dan people may also have many secret recipes, including the use of The special thing in the sea, used as a potion for tattooing the skin, hides the ancient secrets of the Hentian people in the sea map. It has been preserved from generation to generation. The embroidered face tattoo of "Longhu" can only be found in the sea water of Guixu. Only when it is immersed in water will the truth be revealed, otherwise outsiders would never know that the legend of the Hentian monuments is hidden in the sea-penetrating formation.

The hot springs in the deep stream at the bottom of Guixu are boiling and boiling, and there are also low-frequency pulses that interfere with electronic signals. I don’t know what is emitting them. This chaotic water is neither salty nor light, and it probably contains something that other seawater does not have. Substances should gradually increase as the depth of seawater changes, so the shark repellent prepared with a secret recipe is immediately dissolved by the seawater as soon as it reaches that depth, and the medicine in Guchai's tattoo that penetrates into the muscle is also at the bottom of the water at the same time. A reaction occurred, forming a blurry shadow, and then the tattoo hidden in the tattoo appeared. What exactly is there under the Guixu? Where is the birth gate?

As I spoke, the lifeboat had already approached the rocky mountain standing on the water. There were several stone gates standing in the water about ten meters in front of me. There were obvious differences in the colors on the broken stone beams. It was difficult to tell where to enter from. I raised my hand to let everyone know. Slowing down, the lifeboat slowed down. At this time, the light of the yin fire on the whale-belly-like rock formation was obscured by the thick sea air. Got a dark red color.

We looked around on the undulating boat, and we all had the same feeling. The mysterious terrain in Guixu became more and more like a real whale belly, and the yin fire in the sky seemed to be the blood of a giant whale. It is constantly flowing, the sea of ​​blood in the belly of the whale is surging, the sea water is not windy, and the lifeboat is like two floating leaves drifting with the current, surrounded by dangers.

The fat man clung to the iron ring that fixed the oar on the boat and shouted: "Commander Hu, if you don't get in the rubber boat, it will be over. Why are you hesitating now?"

My mind changed and I said to everyone: "I think these stone gates are not that simple. The different colors seem to coincide with the five elements. Today, the branches all belong to fire. We fell into the ruins together with the big sea snake. It was I thought it might be because it was covered in white scales, and the white was like a golden elephant. If you want to survive, please row the boat with me into the cave with high black beams hanging on the side."

The rest of the people agreed and hit the water with their oars. Taking advantage of the gap between the waves, under the dark red light of the blood-red sky, they drove the rubber boat into the cave entrance. Once they entered the half-submerged mountainside, the water surge suddenly subsided, and the lifeboat He immediately stabilized himself. Shirley Yang raised a searchlight on the bow of the boat to explore the way. He saw that the leaden cave was actually a palace that had been collapsed and soaked by sea water. The cave was nothing more than the palace gate.

The structure of the main hall is simple and ancient, without the luxury of cornices and brackets, but it is magnificent in scale, uses extremely huge stones, and has a majestic and majestic momentum. It has a somewhat "exhausting the solemnity of the world" atmosphere. Once inside, the dark and deep huge space makes people feel... We felt particularly uneasy and depressed. We had only seen half of the scene inside the temple. Most of the ancient monuments were submerged in the deep blue and gloomy water. The ancients considered the beauty of the majestic and majestic, and often performed feats of carving out mountains to make statues. Many of the world's ancient architectural wonders were created thousands of years ago. The ancient people's devout beliefs and perseverance in moving mountains and reclaiming seas are far beyond the reach of today's people.

We took a lifeboat and floated into the center of the hall with the current. We were shocked by this majestic hall. We all felt a sense of wonder after experiencing thousands of years of vicissitudes. The seawater surged outside the hall and hit the stone walls, making a roaring echo, like the roar of sea beasts. The thunder made people tremble and feel in danger. Even Fatty, a heartless and indifferent person, did not dare to make a sound for a long time.

The searchlight beams on the two rubber boats swept back and forth across the surrounding water, and many tall and mighty bronze statues were exposed on the water in the temple. Each of them had hideous and ugly faces, staring down, with solemn and solemn expressions. These bronze statues were all covered in bronze. , some lower parts are submerged in the water, and many have collapsed, leaning sideways and leaning around, and some walls and stone pillars have been destroyed. However, the structure of the main hall is solid and there is no sign of collapse.

In the Bronze Age, bronze was the most important weapon of the country. The level of copper smelting technology and the scale of copper mine resources all determined the rise and fall of national power. Shirley Yang once said that it was like forging a bronze vessel as large as the "Simuwu Ding". For fuel alone, it would be necessary to burn hundreds of acres of primeval forest. The limitations of resources make bronze vessels extremely valuable. They are only used in important fields such as religious sacrifices or war and diplomacy. But seeing the countless bronze statues in this hall with your own eyes, you can imagine. Thousands of years ago, the Hentian clan knew how to master and use the yin fire on the seabed. They could make bronze wares without using human fire or celestial fire. Moreover, their craftsmanship was so special that even after being immersed in sea water for thousands of years, the copper still remained. Without losing sex, these are unimaginable for future generations.

I noticed something seemed to be moving on the top of the palace, so I asked Shirley Yang to raise the angle of the searchlight. At first glance, everyone gasped. There were more than ten statues hanging high and low on the pillars of the palace with copper chains. Bronze human heads. Each bronze human head probably weighs hundreds of kilograms. The situation is as if it has been beheaded and hung for public display. The headless bronze human body with its head removed stands quietly in the corner. What sharp weapon can cut off such a heavy and huge bronze man?

Shirley Yang also felt very strange. The tomb belonging to the Hentian family here was only based on speculation. However, when she saw the bronze figure lying horizontally and vertically in the temple with his head missing, it definitely did not look like an ancient tomb. At this time, the rubber boat Slowly moving forward, there was a bronze statue leaning in the water, with its head tilted against the giant pillar. The water was not up to its shoulders. Shirley Yang shot the searchlight beam through and landed on the ferocious face of the bronze statue. .

When the water level in Guixuli is high, the entire mountain will be submerged, and the bronze figures have been eroded by the sea for thousands of years. The tiny corpses of various reef-loving creatures are hung everywhere, but the outlines of their faces are still vaguely discernible. Uncle Ming told Guchai: " Danzi, your ancestors looked like this, please pay your respects sincerely and let them bless us to go back safely." Guchai was just confused, looking at the tall bronze statues, looking very uneasy, asking for clarification Uncle: "Uncle...my ancestors...how come all their heads were chopped off?"

Uncle Ming suddenly asked Gu Cai to ask this question. He really didn't know how to answer, but he thought he was thinking about the master. How could he be asked by his apprentice? I had no choice but to tell Guchai to stop talking and asking questions. Whether it was fighting upside down to find gold, carrying corpses to dig through manures, or fishing for pearls to find green heads, all these life-threatening businesses have two common taboos. The first is that they are not allowed. Be curious. When you see something strange, you must pretend not to see it and never ask why.

Gu Chai asked curiously: "Why? Is there a ghost?" Uncle Ming was so angry that he slapped him on the head: "Baby, do you want to know more about it? Didn't you already know what Hu Bayi said a long time ago? That's what he said. The second taboo is not to mention ghosts!"

I didn't pay attention to how Uncle Ming taught Guchai his rich experience. I just wanted to see more clearly, so I paddled continuously with the fat man, brought the boat close, and used a diving knife to scrape away the erosion on the surface. The face of the bronze man with green fangs exposed, everyone gathered around to watch with flashlights. The bronze giant had a weird face, which made people more and more strange as they looked at it. They couldn't help but want to ask: "Who is the Hentian clan? And who is the so-called Hentian?" meaning?"

In traditional Chinese concepts, the north is the greatest, the middle is right, and heaven is the most respected. Even in ordinary speech, one does not dare to offend God easily. However, the name "hatred of heaven" completely subverts this concept. Regarding the concept of respecting heaven as a god, what did the ancestors of the Dan people do? Everyone made a few random guesses, but they couldn't figure it out.

The fat man said: "I know that there used to be Nan Batian in the South China Sea. It seems that it was wiped out by the Red Detachment of Women. Nan Batian is a landlord class who specializes in antagonizing the common people. I have never heard of anyone who dares to antagonize God. "Although the Red Guards back then had the intention to practice with God, they didn't have that many planes to fly into the sky, so they just did it. However, their ambitions were evidenced by poems - How dare you teach the sun and the moon to change the sky."

I listened to the fat man's nonsense, then looked at the bronze giant with stern fangs. I felt that his image and aura were extraordinary, and there seemed to be some evil in his majesty and dignity, so I said to everyone: "Comrades, have you ever heard of foreigners?" That legend about God and Satan? The devil Satan in the West seems to be a professional who has a grudge against God. Is the Hentian clan related to Western religious legends? Because in the legends of Chinese civilization, the King of Hell in hell He and the Dragon King in the Sea are both leading cadres assigned by the Jade Emperor in the sky to handle specific work at the grassroots level. They have a superior-subordinate relationship. They have quite good tempers with each other. It seems that in the traditional concepts of Eastern people, there is no hatred of gods. This is a solid world view formed by tradition.”
