Chapter 268 The Divine Bird Phoenix?
The two stone doors have been fully opened...
Behind the door is a deep corridor.
I don’t know what was used in the tunnel...it was pitch black!
Even the sunlight can't get in!
Qin An and Hu Jizhou turned on their military flashlights and slowly walked into the corridor, while Jiang Liuli quickly followed, and the three of them slowly walked into the corridor.
The bright light from the military flashlight made the corridor extremely bright!
It reflects the mottled murals on both sides of the corridor and many unclear Buddhist scriptures.
"Is this... the divine bird Phoenix?"
Hu Jizhou stands under a mural.
The content of this mural is: on the plain, a group of ancient people are hunting a mythical bird, the Phoenix, and behind this group of ancient people is a middle-aged man wearing a crown.
I think he is the king of the country of Buddha Sound.
Jiang Liuli quickly pointed her phone at the mural so that netizens could see it more clearly.
"This is not the mythical bird Phoenix... The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that the Phoenix has a chicken head, a swallow jaw, a snake neck, a turtle back, and a fish tail, and its entire body is colorful. But the tail of this Phoenix does not look like a fish tail, but rather like a snake tail." Qin An said lightly.
"It does look a bit like a snake's tail..." Jiang Liuli leaned in closer to the mural and examined it carefully for a long time before saying, "Could it be possible that the artist made a mistake?"
Qin An: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
The three of them walked into the corridor, looking all the way.
There are a total of 12 murals on both sides!
It roughly tells the history of the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Buddhayinku: The Kingdom of Buddhayinku covers an area of 3000 square kilometers. Although it is a large island country, after the people have recuperated, the population has increased and the resources on the island have become increasingly insufficient.
Until one day!
A sailboat came to the shore of Foyinkuguo Island.
A man wearing a bronze mask with a rabbit head walked down from above.
He claimed that he was a citizen of a superior country, whose land area was thousands of times larger than that of Foyinku Kingdom!
The king was shocked when he heard this!
He was afraid that the Celestial Empire would send troops to attack him...so he appointed that man as the national teacher.
The Imperial Master said: There is a strange tree in the forest, and on the tree lives a divine bird called the Firebird. If you eat the flesh and blood of the Firebird alive and then lie in a bronze coffin, and then burn the bronze coffin with a great fire, you will be reborn into Nirvana after 1200 years, and your words will carry the law of heaven!
The king was shocked!
But thinking that his own land was not enough to feed his people...he agreed.
Follow your words!
As long as he says a word after resurrection... he can expand the country a thousand times!
then!
The country of Foyinku started a more than ten-year project to build the king's tomb. On the day the tomb was completed, the king ate the flesh and blood of a firebird raw and then lay in a bronze coffin, and had people set a fire to burn the bronze coffin for three days and three nights.
After the bronze coffin was moved into the main tomb chamber.
The rest of the people began to commit suicide collectively!
Because they firmly believe that...when their king is resurrected, he will use his words to resurrect themselves as well.
..........
[Huh? Is Qin An still translating in Chinese? Why can't I understand?]
[It fits my stereotype of the ancients being ignorant....]
[Six hundred and sixty-six! The king was cremated in a bronze coffin for three days and three nights? Aren't we going to open the bronze coffin and take a look? I think it's burnt to ashes!]
[Resurrection, damn it! If this thing could be resurrected! I'll eat Ji Xiaoman Da Lei!]
[Count me in! I'm eating Yunying's!]
[Call Kuang Tie and Zhao Huaizhen! I'll eat all four of them!]
[Nongpi is like this! Don't you all care about that Imperial Master? He was the sole cause of the demise of the Foyin Kingdom! And he's one of the Zodiac Gravekeepers! I really feel like these gravekeepers are plotting a terrifying conspiracy!]
[Then there's still one zodiac gravekeeper who hasn't revealed his face! I don't know who it is. It's impossible for this tomb to only have one zodiac gravekeeper guarding it, right?]
.........
In the corridor.
The three of them have also finished looking at all the murals.
"Is it the Rabbit? It would be easier to deal with if I knew its abilities in advance." Jiang Liuli bit her lower lip and looked a little nervous.
no way!
The psychological trauma left on her by the previous dragon-faced bronze-masked man was too great.
Plus in Yinxu Ancient City...
Qin An almost lost his life facing Yin Hu!
These factors put Jiang Liuli in a dilemma.
Beside the two of them.
Hu Jizhou wanted to ask them who this rabbit-faced bronze-masked man was...but Qin An shook his head at him.
Indicate that he doesn't know either.
These gravekeepers are like a bunch of lunatics!
For an unrealistic dream...willing to give up everything.
If only.
Qin An didn't want to confront them either.
"Let's go! Let's explore further inside and then return the same way... wait until we pick up Academician Xu before heading towards the main tomb chamber." Qin An said lightly.
"it is good!"
Neither Jiang Liuli nor Hu Jizhou had any objection.
The three of them walked forward again.
This corridor is only two hundred meters long.
five minutes later.
Qin An and others appeared at the end of the corridor.
Walk out of the corridor.
What came into view was a giant octagonal tomb chamber... The tomb chamber was a full 2000 square meters in size. Even though Hu Jizhou had been robbing tombs for many years, he had never seen such a wide and spacious tomb chamber.
Hu Jizhou still has to move forward.
Qin An was about to grab him, but was a step too late.
"Cock!"
The stone bricks under Hu Jizhou's feet sank several centimeters!
He was so scared that he quickly retracted his foot!
“Boom…boom…boom…”
The triggering of the mechanism caused the candles around the tomb to reignite.
For a while.
The tomb, which was originally dark and only illuminated by a few beams of military flashlights, became bright, and the golden candlelight illuminated the entire tomb.
"This...is this a tomb?"
Hu Jizhou rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
In the center of the tomb chamber stood a hollow statue of a three-tailed mythical bird, the phoenix.
It is carved entirely from white jade!
But its movements were very strange... a bit like a snow fox that was gathering strength to hunt. If it weren't for the fact that its tail didn't look like a phoenix except for its snake tail, Hu Jizhou would have really mistaken it for a fox.
And the tomb is in all directions!
There are eight slightly smaller black phoenix statues.
They knelt on the ground devoutly!
It seems to be bowing to the divine bird Phoenix in the middle.
"Could it be that the belief of this country of Buddha Sound is the mythical bird Phoenix?" Hu Jizhou saw that there were no mechanisms in the tomb.
Their actions also became bolder.
He strode towards the "Black Phoenix" on the side and looked at it carefully with the military flashlight in his hand.
"Faith...If they really believed in the phoenix, would they catch the phoenix and eat it alive?" Jiang Liuli questioned.
