Chapter 73 The truth about Osi
"Qingyun, there is something on the tree." Shang Qingyun nodded, took out the hook lock he took from my bag, hooked a bronze branch, and flew up to the treetop.
"Stop, stop. Look at the mouth of the three-legged golden crow on the branch. Is there something in it?" There is a reason why I asked this sentence. The mouth of the three-legged golden crow fished out from Qinglong Lake was slightly small.
It was open, and it looked like something had been placed there, but after careful inspection, I found that the mouth of the three-legged Golden Crow was solid.
Unlike the bronze tree unearthed in Sanxingdui, Guanghan, the three-legged golden crow here also has its mouth open, while the beak of the bronze tree in Sanxingdui is a whole. Why are the two bronze trees not only different in size, but also in detail decoration?
Different, and the bird must open its mouth?
This shows that there may be something in the bird's mouth. The shape of the bronze bird is a hint to the giant bronze tree here.
Shang Qingyun fumbled around in the mouth of the three-legged golden crow standing on the treetop, and sure enough he found a small golden insect egg. He brought it to his nose and smelled it, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "It's a poisonous insect, it can be used to attract poisonous insects."
To solve the poison!"
"What kind?"
Shang Qingyun's expression changed when he heard this, and the previous joy was wiped away: "Eliminate the insect poison in the river."
When I heard this, I felt disappointed for a moment, but it was only for a moment. After all, it was a good thing to be able to save Er Pang and the others: "That's good, at least Er Pang and the others are saved."
I took a quick look and saw that there were nine golden crows on the giant bronze tree. Shang Qingyun found nine different colors of insect poison in the mouths of these nine golden crows.
After collecting all the eggs, Shang Qingyun put them one by one in the box containing the human moth mother voodoo obtained from the Sea Eye Dragon Palace. After doing this, he jumped down from the bronze tree and handed the box to me.
The moment the box was placed in my hand, I felt a bone-deep itching sensation, and a layer of very light, almost transparent skin appeared on the back of my hand, with tiny strange spots and white hairs on it.
"Complete Yanwei Gu." Shang Qingyun said.
"Complete? But I remember that only one bug bit me in Osi Country. Why did so many little bug eggs come out, like collecting Dragon Balls?" I complained while putting away the box.
"You only need a medium to cast a voodoo, and you need to find the mother voodoo to remove the voodoo."
"Aren't you asking me to eat all these insect eggs?" I asked anxiously.
Shang Qingyun shook his head: "We only need to re-refine the Inverse Yan Wei Gu, but we still need an introduction." He looked up at the top of the bronze tree, and there was a look in his eyes that I didn't know what to mean.
"Brother Yu wants to go up with me."
After all, they were all meant to help me get rid of the poison. I couldn't just stand under the tree and let others do the work for me, so I agreed immediately.
It would be impossible for me to climb such a tall tree by myself, but Shang Qingyun was there.
He first flew up to the treetop along the rope, then I grabbed the rope, and he grabbed the other end of the rope and lifted me up like a flying hook. Apart from the fact that the world was spinning so fast that I almost vomited you out, it was still very convenient.
I don’t remember how long it took us, maybe two days or three days, with many breaks in between, before we finally climbed to the top of the bronze tree.
The crown of the Bronze Divine Tree is a very spacious flat area. No wonder the Bronze Tree is made so thick.
There is a very narrow path from the branches to the crown. Viewed from below, this path looks no different from the complex branches of a bronze tree.
But this is the only way to go from the branches to the clearing in the canopy, and it is a very dangerous way.
There is no protection on both sides. There is a drop of several hundred meters below, and the branch with the crown is only as wide as a person's fist. Walking up it is like walking on a high-altitude tightrope.
"Catch me, brother Yu." Shang Qingyun and I held hands and walked up the branch.
But even if I pulled him, I couldn't shield the fear in my heart. I staggered while walking on it, and I could only squirm a little. I even looked down accidentally when I had the chance, and my legs suddenly became weak and I almost fell down.
, even though Shang Qingyun held me back, it almost made him lose his balance.
After finally getting through the high-altitude tightrope walk, we finally reached the tree crown, where we were blocked by eight Zongmu bronze statues.
These vertical bronze statues all faced the entrance to the tree canopy, holding spears and axes in their hands. When I walked past the thin branches, I just relaxed and was about to fall over, when Shang Qingyun grabbed me. When I recovered, I was almost killed.
His eyes were like a spear in his hand piercing his throat.
"I'm scared to death. This place is too dangerous." Monk Qingyun and I carefully walked around these bronze statues, but fortunately they wouldn't move.
Then, we witnessed a rather sacred scene.
Sunlight casts down from the dense forest above and shines on the sarcophagus placed on the innermost platform of the tree canopy. At first glance, it seems that the owner of the tomb has been blessed and protected by God. In addition, there are statues on the left and right standing to protect the coffin.
Looking at the statue, it looks very sacred and solemn.
Shang Qingyun took me to the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus here is the same as the one I saw in the fake tomb before. The lid of the sarcophagus is carved into a vertical-eyed animal-faced figure. The only difference is that this sarcophagus has priceless inlays.
The precious stones and pearls are very beautiful.
"Is this the sarcophagus of King Cancong of Shu?"
Shang Qingyun nodded.
"It's actually here. It feels easier to find it than I thought. I thought it would take a lot of trouble like in the Sea Eye Dragon Palace."
Shang Qingyun did not react to my words, but looked directly at the sarcophagus.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
Shang Qingyun shook his head and looked back: "Open the coffin, brother Yu."
I always felt that Shang Qingyun was more eager to try it than before. The two of us came to the sarcophagus, bowed three times, then confirmed the structure of the coffin and prepared to open the coffin.
However, we tried many methods, such as the professional coffin opening technique in the archaeological industry, or violent methods, such as using a crowbar and other straightforward methods, but the sarcophagus was not moved at all.
Shang Qingyun shook his head: "No, brother Yu, lend me your hand."
After saying that, without waiting for an answer, he held my hand with the black scar from the insect in front of his chest, took out my saber, and cut my tiger's mouth.
For a moment, a trail of blood flowed from my tiger's mouth, but it wasn't all blood, there seemed to be a light yellow liquid.
Drops of blood mixed with yellow liquid fell on the protruding vertical eyes on the lid of the sarcophagus. The scene was like giving eye drops to Silkworm Cong.
Immediately, the sarcophagus made a banging sound.
I was startled, thinking that there was another corpse inside, so I jumped half a step back, ready to escape.
But after being quiet for a while, I found that there seemed to be nothing unusual around me. At this time, Shang Qingyun had already lifted the coffin lid.
Inside, there was no body of Cancong. What lay there was actually a female corpse!
"Is Cancong a master of cross-dressing? Or is Cancong a woman disguised as a man?"
"No, Brother Yu. This is the leader of Osi Country."
"Eh?! Are you saying that the leader of the Ousi Kingdom changed places with the woman from the ancient Shu Kingdom who rebelled and stole the map? Where did Cancong go?"
Shang Qingyun shook his head.
All right.
I tiptoed into the sarcophagus and found that the female corpse seemed to be holding a rolled up cloth in her arms.
I carefully took out the rolled cloth from the woman's corpse, touched it and found that it was indeed wrapped with something.
Moreover, the feel of this piece of cloth was obviously that of silk from the European Silk Country. I spread it out and found a blood letter inside. Although it had been thousands of years, the handwriting was still clear.
In addition, there is also a mirror-like burial object carved from jade. Since it is wrapped inside, it means it is very precious, but I don’t know what it is used for.
I unfolded the blood book and read its contents.
Fortunately, the script written by Ou Siguo was the Cangjie script that I had seen before. After returning from Haiyan Dragon Palace, I looked through Professor Jiang's manuscripts and could basically recognize the entire Cangjie script.
However, it can be seen that the words and sentences used by the King of Ossi in that era were very different from those of people in our time. Because the original text is too difficult to pronounce, I cannot fully translate it, so I will only briefly describe the important information I got from the blood book.
I'm not sure if all the blood books were written by the female monarch, but at least the first half was. The book describes how much the female monarch loves the great god Limu, and how guilty she is of Limu. It also explains why she betrayed him.
Limu.
The reason is that the thaumaturgy that Limu learned was gleaned from the river map, and this river map was not originally from the world, but he learned about it accidentally.
Limu was a pure-hearted person who only regarded the thaumaturgy recorded on the river map as a way to tame animals. In fact, it was far from that simple. The female leader of the Osi Kingdom was originally a member of another ancient clan. This river
The picture seems to have been written by the ancestors of their tribe.
The female princess believed that this picture should not be spread to the world, so she stole the picture and left with the idea of sealing it even if she betrayed her loved ones. She destroyed the river picture, took in the refugees in another place, and taught them how to raise them.
The technology of silkworm spinning established the European Silk Country.
The three mulberry trees in the Wilderness of Ouse are not real sacred trees, but a mulberry leaf picked from the legendary sacred tree Jianmu and planted into the three mulberry trees.
The most fundamental purpose of everything she does is to prevent outsiders from finding her hometown - the legendary magical place that can reach heaven and earth.
From the story of Cannu and Mapi, we can know that there is obviously more than one piece of the river map, and it may be that the whole map is broken into pieces. This piece of river map was obtained by Silkworm Cong. According to the miraculous trick of raising gu recorded above, Cancong was able to cultivate the gu in ancient times.
Shu established the country.
The silkworm girl who stole the horse skin was a puppet left behind by the female king, not a real person. After the silkworm girl stole the river map and returned it to the Osi Kingdom, the silkworm girl was buried on the three mulberry trees of the Osi country in place of the female king.
The female kingdom leader noticed something. Cancong had understood the Yanwei Gu on the river map, so she came here to look for Cancong, but she was fooled by Cancong and was trapped and died in the Shushan Ancient Tomb.
The real silkworm bush has gone to find the fusang.
"Here I go, it's a big circle. What's this picture?"
The picture I was referring to was the piece of silk used to roll the jade mirror and the blood book. Because my blood dripped on a certain place on it, and the word "Picture" was displayed there, I realized that this piece of silk was not a simple thing either.
.
"map."
"Map? Where are you going?"
"I don't know, I should read it in some way." Shang Qingyun said, squatting down next to me.
I always felt that there was something strange about him. Although Shang Qingyun was talking about this picture, his eyes were always fixed on the jade mirror in my hand.
"Qingyun, what are you doing?" I became alert.
When Shang Qingyun heard this, he raised his head suddenly and snatched the mirror from my hand:
Chapter completed!
