A week later, Zhang Guozhong did not recover. Looking at the pile of tattered furnishings in the house where Ma Zhen lived before his death, he always felt an unspeakable guilt in his heart.

However, guilty as guilty, Zhao Le still had to dig out the fire trap to avoid future troubles. After discussing with Captain Li, the two came to the cemetery with more than 30 strong laborers.

Zhang Guozhong took the lead, and the surrounding villagers were a little guilty at first, but after seeing that Zhang Guozhong had been digging for a long time and nothing happened, they started to take action.

This tomb looks like an ordinary tomb, but when it is dug down to one foot, the soil turns red. It seems that the soil is mixed with "red saltpetre". It seems that Zhu Di is really good at Zhao Leke.

According to the records of "Maoshan Shuzhi", red saltpeter is a very expensive material. The price of one tael of red saltpeter in the Ming Dynasty was about 120 taels of silver. According to the current specifications of this tomb, it does not cost more than a hundred taels anyway.

Ten thousand taels of silver cannot be spent.

This tomb is very different from the previous Qingshui Bureau and Heiyun Bureau. It was generally built according to the specifications of a first-class official in the Ming Dynasty. Halfway through the excavation, Captain Li even thought that there were not enough people, so he sent his son back to the village to find more than twenty people.

It took more than half of the village's labor force to dig for a whole day before the main tomb chamber was dug out. It was a large pit of thirty square meters. However, the ear chamber and the side chamber were very small, and they were just decorations at best.

As expected at first, there was a sitting coffin next to the tomb owner's coffin, but there was a big crack in the sitting coffin, which looked like a new crack. It seemed that it was left by Ma Zhenren when he defeated the Three Evils.

Several villagers dragged out the main coffin from the tomb. It was no different from an ordinary coffin, but there was a stone slab inlaid on the front of the coffin. On the stone slab was a picture of a dragon and tiger fighting. The dragon entangled the tiger and finally pinned the tiger underneath.

. Judging from the content of the stone slab pattern, this Zhao

It seems that Le really had an intention to rebel, and the final result can be imagined. This pattern of dragon crushing tiger should be Zhu Di's ultimate pursuit of psychological pleasure. At the last moment when Zhao Le was killed, he did not forget to remind him

:A tiger can never defeat a dragon...

The four villagers each held a corner and competed. The coffin lid opened with a creak, and a well-preserved mummy was placed in the coffin.

This mummy is different from the traditional mummy. In the Ming Tombs Scenic Area, naturally dried mummies have been exhibited. The corpse is yellowish brown, but the entire body of this mummy is black and gray. It does not seem to be caused by geological reasons.

It looked like it had been burned. Although the red saltpeter on the walls of the coffin also acted as a desiccant, it was absolutely impossible to turn a corpse into this color.

There were no burial objects in the coffin, there were no marks on the neck of the mummy, and there were no signs of injuries on the body. It seemed that he had been given poisoned wine or white silk to die. The corpse was unclothed, but had an official hat on its head.

This seems to have been deliberately arranged by Zhu Di in order to seek psychological pleasure.

After looking carefully, a light-colored bulge on the abdomen of the mummy attracted Zhang Guozhong's attention. The abdomen should not be a place with bones. What is this? Use a dragon scale dagger to carefully cut open the abdomen of the mummy.

Zhang Guozhong found a small porcelain bottle, about the thickness of his index finger and about the same length as a matchbox. Zhao Le probably swallowed it before he died, and it has become integrated with the flesh and skin of his abdomen.

Holding the small porcelain vase, Zhang Guozhong looked at it for a long time, "Is this why Zhu Di killed Zhao Le?" Zhang Guozhong said to himself...

"Guozhong, what valuable thing are you looking for?" Li Fugui shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Nothing..." Zhang Guozhong secretly put the porcelain bottle into his pocket and continued to observe the body. The surrounding villagers were busy collecting firewood, and no one noticed what Zhang Guozhong was doing in the commotion.

After a fire, the mummy was burned. In the evening, Zhang Guozhong peeled off the wax seal at home and opened the small porcelain bottle.

"Good boy..." A map appeared in front of Zhang Guozhong. The thin silk used to make the map was as thin as the glutinous rice paper used to wrap toffee in modern times. It was almost transparent but full of toughness. It was rolled into a roll and stuffed into a porcelain bottle. At that time, Ma

The Wangdui Han Tomb has just been unearthed, and cultural relics such as Susha Zen clothes are still kept secret (

A total of two "plain yarn Zen clothes" were unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb. They are both 1.3 meters long and weigh 48 grams and 49 grams respectively. They are as thin as cicada wings. In the 1990s, experts used the most advanced textile technology in the world.

Technology is imitated, but the weight of the counterfeit produced using contemporary cutting-edge technology

It is 55 grams, which is still a bit lower than the original product. Legend has it that during the excavation, a piece weighing only 20 grams was unearthed. It was definitely a rare treasure, but it was stolen. Later, the thief was brought to justice, and his mother was afraid that this thing would become a child.

As evidence of a crime, this rare national treasure was burned on fire. The thief later

He was sentenced to death, and his mother was also sentenced for harboring the crime, but no matter what, this rare treasure cannot be reappeared in the world. This matter is only a legend), but judging from the materials used to draw this map, this

This silk weaving technology, which far surpasses the highest modern textile level, seems to have not been lost until the Ming Dynasty.

This map is about 80 centimeters square. The pattern on it is painted with a black dye that is definitely not ink. It is a light layer and the front and back do not affect each other. The front of the map shows a continuous mountain range and several forks.

A sitting Buddha is painted at the end of a fork in the road, and on the back is a winding passage. There are many crosses on both sides of the passage. The signature below has two long paragraphs written in some strange words, which looks like seal cutting.

But I couldn't recognize it at all.

"Which fucking Chinese character is this..." Zhang Guozhong also has some research on calligraphy. The most difficult to recognize ancient Chinese characters are oracle bone inscriptions and ancient seal scripts, but the characters on this map have nothing to do with either of them, nor do they resemble them.

It's any foreign nation or foreign language. To be precise, it doesn't look like a language at all.

"Could it be a code?" Zhang Guozhong said to himself. Logically speaking, only North Korea, Mongolia, Tibet, and Xinjiang had affiliations with the Ming Dynasty at that time, but these messy symbols are definitely not the characters of these countries or nations. "Could it be Western

Or some African writing...?" Zhang Guozhong was still confused.

At this moment, the first person he thought of was Old Liu Tou. This unlucky senior fellow was from the Calligraphy Association. He also studied Maoshan Shu and was said to be able to speak foreign languages. Why not ask him?…

After tracing the symbols on the map according to the graphics, Zhang Guozhong asked his younger brother to take him to find Old Liu Tou.

At this time, Old Liu Tou was more prosperous in prison than last time. To be honest, even if he didn't live up to expectations, Old Liu Tou had trained under Ma Zhenren for 10 years after all. He was not something that ordinary people could mess with. There were a few in the beginning

A local ruffian wanted to make trouble for Old Liu, but he got him down in just a few moments. Before Zhang Guozhong and the others came here last time, Old Liu's biggest enemy was the prison guard, who asked to go out and have a meal every now and then.

It's not something that his old bones can bear. But since the last time, Zhang Guoyi directly greeted the warden, and even sent someone to retrieve the old files of the warden's uncle who was a quartermaster of the Kuomintang within two days.

After it was delivered, the warden could only nod and bow to this well-known leader of the Red Guards in the city. From then on, Old Liu Tou lived a comfortable life, and naturally he responded to the needs of his senior brother Zhang Guozhong.

After learning that the master had become an immortal, the old man Liu Tou unexpectedly had red circles in his eyes. When he cried, Zhang Guozhong couldn't hold it back, "Brother, the master told Maoshan and Quanzhen masters

Give it to me, how about you become a...?" Zhang Guozhong said while wiping his nose and tears...

"Forget it, at my age, I can't even hold a hand... I'm not mad at that thing. It's true that you quickly ask us brothers to find a way to get me out..." After a few tricks, Old Liu Tou finally started to get down to business.

Already…

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Did he mean that he would be released as soon as he was released? Zhang Guozhong ignored Old Liu Tou's outrageous request and handed the paper traced on the map to Old Liu Tou.

"Senior brother, do you recognize this? What Chinese character is it?"

"Guozhong, where did you get this thing?" Old Liu Tou is also a man who has seen the world. Unexpectedly, after taking the note, he saw a cold sweat on his forehead, and his face

His expressions were distorted.

"I...I cut it from a stone tablet..." Zhang Guozhong did not tell the truth to this senior brother who did not know the details.

"This is a memorial..." Old Liu Tou stared at the note and took a puff of cigarette, "No matter where you cut it from, never go to the place where this thing was carved..." Old Liu Tou swallowed.

He spat, "Anywhere with commemorative inscriptions is engraved on it is not a good sign! The master is no longer here, so it would be better for us brothers to have one more thing to do than one less thing to do!"

At this time, Zhang Guozhong learned from the mouth of old Liu Tou that death texts are words meant for the dead. According to legend, they were created by Pei Zuwang, the founder of Zhongge Sect. According to Maoshan Shu, evil spirits and living people

They cannot communicate with each other through language, and evil spirits can only communicate by possessing people.

The ability to talk to living people with the help of the physical body is the "collision" mentioned above. However, not every soul has the ability to "collision" with living people, so the real person Pei Zuwang invented this kind of death sentence, specifically for

Communicate with the dead, and legend has it that you can even communicate with animals cultivating immortality.

, the original commemorative inscriptions only had pronunciation and no words. In later generations, some capable people actually invented characters for this kind of commemorative inscriptions (that is, the words on the map in the porcelain vase in Zhao Le's belly). Because this kind of commemorative inscriptions are really

It is difficult to learn, so no matter which dynasty you are in, you can master this kind of saying

The number of people who speak the ghost language has always remained in the single digits. In modern times, it is unknown whether there are still people who can read and write this kind of memorial. However, according to the current situation, at least until the Ming Dynasty, there were still people who mastered this kind of writing.
