Chapter 235
In the early northern prairie tribes, shamans belonged to the rare intellectuals who were responsible for tribal divination, astrology, begging for gods, praying for blessings, begging for children, warding off disasters and taking refuge, and holding sacrifices before going to war…
In short, if you are unresolved, you should go to the shaman.
It is precisely because of this combination of knowledge inheritance, witch doctor, and sacrifice that shamans had a high status and important power in the early grassland tribes.
As the first Khitan princess to become a shaman, Yelv Zhigu has a higher status.
This can be seen from the tomb, or underground palace, built for her by Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji.
The underground palace covers an area as large as dozens of football fields.
Wang Kaixuan, the old Jianghu, was also stunned after entering the tomb, and couldn’t help but sigh, “I’m so good, it’s different for the emperor, Yelu Abaoji is so arrogant.”
Laura was the first to come in, and she was using a flashlight to carefully observe the colorful murals on the walls on both sides. When she heard Wang Kaixuan’s uninformed words, Laura gave him a sideways glance.
“The construction of an underground palace of this scale requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources based on the technical conditions of ancient times. Even if Yelu Abaoji was the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, it is impossible for him to waste so many resources for a rebellious daughter.”
“If you observe carefully, you will find that this is a natural cave. It was transformed by ancient craftsmen before it became the underground palace it is today.”
“The light is too dark, I didn’t pay attention for a while.” Tangtang touched Captain Jin, but he didn’t notice it. Wang Kaixuan’s face was hot, and he wanted to find a hole in the ground in embarrassment.
But at this time Li Xu and Da Jinya also came in, and Da Jinya lifted which pot he didn’t open, and deliberately said: “I said fat man, our old Beijing men, you don’t lose when you lose, this is the reason you asked for.” It’s too shabby.”
“Your grandson, you need to clean up, right?”
The two are old friends for more than ten years, and it is a habit to hurt each other.
Wang Kaixuan was not annoyed when he heard Da Jinya’s eccentric words, but waved the Luoyang shovel as if to scare him.
Da Jinya chuckled, and also dodged like a joke.
Unexpectedly, there was a stone tablet on the ground, and the light in the underground palace was too dark, and Da Jinya didn’t pay attention for a while, and was directly stumbled.
“Hey, what a wicked **** is this, put the tombstone here.”
Da Jinya lay on the ground, supported his old waist and cried out in pain, and subconsciously looked at the stone tablet that was being pressed by him.
I saw that the stone tablet was dark blue as a whole, and it was engraved with bright red inscriptions like tadpoles, which looked a bit ferocious and bloodthirsty.
“What the hell?”
Da Jinya was taken aback, and his body suddenly fell back.
“This is Khitan.”
Li Xu squatted down, looking at this stone tablet with at least a thousand years of history and the inscription on it.
“Master Li is worthy of being an archaeologist. He has extensive knowledge and strong knowledge. He even understands Khitan script.”
Da Jinya came back to his senses, and quickly offered a warm flattery.
“I said, Lao Jin, you’re almost done. You’re an old man in the antique circle anyway. Don’t be ashamed to keep flattering young people.”
Wang Kaixuan was just annoyed by Da Jinya’s yin and yang, but now that he saw the opportunity, he immediately returned it.
“Fat Master, you don’t understand now. As the saying goes, the strong are teachers. Master Li is very capable. Why should I, Xiao Jin, respect me a little?”
In terms of flattering skills, Da Jinya ranked second, and no one dared to be second. He didn’t take Wang Kaixuan’s ridicule to heart at all, and continued to flatter without changing his face.
“All right.”
Li Xu was amused by these two live treasures, he waved his hands and said, “Calm down a bit, this stone tablet can say that anyone who dares to disturb the rest of the tomb owner will be unable to rebirth forever and fall into the endless hell.”
“Isn’t Princess Aogu a great dancer? How can you clean up some Buddhist words?”
Wang Kaixuan was amazed.
He has been fighting for many years, and he has seen this kind of curse to intimidate tomb robbers a lot, so he doesn’t care at all, but is amused by the content of this curse.
“Fatty, you are so ignorant.”
Da Jinya smiled and said, “After the Khitan people established the Liao Kingdom, they were attracted by the culture of our ancestors, and they have been Sinicized a long time ago. Naturally, this shamanism also absorbed a lot of knowledge about Buddhism and Taoism.”
“Old Jin is right.”
Li Xu nodded, stood up and looked around the underground palace, “Shamanism has integrated a lot of Buddhist and Taoist mysteries in order to survive. For example, the tomb of Princess Aogu was built with Qimen gossip, which coincides with Zhouyi.”
“Mr. Li is really knowledgeable.”
At this time, Ying Caihong and his group also came in, and upon hearing Li Xu’s words, Ying Caihong applauded and asked in a discussing tone: “Since Mr. Li knows the layout and structure of the underground palace, he also knows how to get there. , I don’t know…can you lead the way?”
“Master!”
Before Li Xu could speak, Yoko who was beside Ying Caihong suddenly became excited and pointed at the statue in front of him.
The statue is a Khitan warrior on a horse, with armor on his face and a spear in his hand. After thousands of years, he still looks iron-blooded.
And on the chest and belly of the Khitan warrior, there is a round copper emblem hidden. The pattern on the copper emblem is complex and magnificent, which is a bit strange and inexplicable.
“Hey, the little girl has pretty eyes.”
Wang Kaixuan curled his lips, blocking Yoko who wanted to get the bronze badge, “However, don’t mess with the things in the tomb.”
“You! Get out of the way!”
Yoko looked unhappy, and pulled out the dagger from her waist.
“What’s the matter, do you want to make a move?”
After entering the tomb, Wang Kaixuan regained his confidence. When he saw Yangzi draw out the dagger, he was right at all, so he picked up the Luoyang shovel hanging from his waist.
“Mr. Wang, this stone is very important to us.”
Ying Caihong smiled and took a step forward, and those disciples who were brainwashed by Ying Caihong also took a step, staring at Wang Kaixuan with unkind eyes.
“Are there so many people?”
Wang Kaixuan put away the Luoyang shovel cursingly, turned to look at Li Xu, “I said, Lao Li, what’s your opinion?”
“What the **** is Lao Li called? You might as well just call me by my name.”
Li Xu rolled his eyes, glanced at Ying Caihong and her disciples, and smiled meaningfully, “Ms. Ying, it is very dangerous to move things in the ancient tomb, I advise you not to move.”
Out of fear of Li Xu, Ying Caihong fell silent when she heard this.
“Mr. Li, this is none of your business.”
On the contrary, the disciple beside her, the brown-haired, blue-eyed foreigner named Mark said nonchalantly, and put his hand into the chest of the Khitan warrior.
Hoo hoo…
As soon as Mark made contact, the Khitan warrior and the horse he was sitting on quickly disintegrated into a cloud of black fine ash and scattered.
How should I put it, it was quite sudden.
Mark and several other disciples were covered in black fine ash.
“This…is also corpse poison?”
Thinking of the poisoning of the workers in front of the tomb just now, Mark’s face froze, but he quickly returned to normal. He took out the round copper emblem and smiled at Yinghong: “Master, it seems that I need to go up to expose myself to the sun.” The sun… ahem.”
Before he finished speaking, Mark suddenly coughed violently.
Wang Kaixuan moved away calmly, stood next to Li Xu and said in a low voice, “You and I got to the bottom of it, were you talking nonsense just now, can sunbathing really detoxify corpses?”
Li Xu shrugged, “Those workers can, they can’t.”
“I knew it…you are really insidious.”
Wang Kaixuan smiled and gave a thumbs up.
He has long been displeased with this group of five and six foreigners.
“Uh uh…It hurts so much, Master, my body hurts so much.”
At this time, Mark half-kneeled on the ground, the skin on his body quickly turned blue-purple, with terrifying black tendons surging from it.
The other disciples who were poisoned were no exception. They choked their own throats and turned their eyes upwards, revealing only the whites of their eyes with black silk.
“Mr. Li, what’s going on?”
Ying Caihong panicked and asked Li Xu sternly.
“Corpse poison, as I said earlier, you can’t touch anything in the ancient tomb.” Li Xu pretended to be regretful and shook his head.
“Those poisoned workers were fine for so long, why did Mark and the others get poisoned so quickly?”
Ying Caihong clasped her hands tightly, her chest heaving with anger, “Besides, didn’t you say that sunbathing can detoxify corpses?”
“Yup.”
Li Xu blinked innocently, “But… the corpse poison inside the tomb is too fast, they probably won’t be able to go outside to bask in the sun.”
“Roar!”
As soon as Li Xu finished speaking, apart from Mark, the other disciples who were poisoned turned into big zongzi and threw themselves at the living people.
Mark was only one step away from the corpse change. He knelt on the ground and moved towards Ying Rainbow step by step. His purple face was full of pain, “Master, save me, save me.”
While speaking, he stretched out his hand and cast a hopeful look at Ying Rainbow.
Ying Caihong was so frightened that her body trembled slightly. In order to maintain her image in the hearts of her disciples, she forcibly restrained her fear, stretched out her right hand and pinched a seal, and said the usual catchphrase.
“Instant enlightenment, all living beings are liberated.”
And the disciples behind Yinghong heard the revered master shout the slogan, immediately raised their heads and closed their eyes, and began to read devoutly, “Immediately enlightened, all sentient beings will be liberated…”
Old MLM!
Li Xu rolled his eyes.
It has to be said that Ying Caihong is also a talent. From the lover of a wealthy Japanese businessman to a generation of Qigong masters, he also established a global spiritual practice, which fooled a large number of wealthy businessmen and rich second generations.
This legendary experience… most people can’t tell it.
Old inspirational! .
Chapter 322
“Instant enlightenment, all living beings will be liberated.”×n
Ying Caihong’s chanting of the incantation was very magical, which made those disciples stunned for a while, and their eyes became more pious.
But engaging in pyramid schemes cannot save the dying.
The corpse poison spread rapidly in Mark’s body, turning him into a living corpse that cannibalized him in just a few tens of seconds.
Together with the other four disciples of the corpse transformation, the five living corpses stood up staggeringly, with the words “cannibalism” written all over their ugly purple faces.
“These grandsons will not listen to me. It’s fine now. If they die, they will implicate us.”
Wang Kaixuan snorted, picked up the Luoyang shovel and swung it vigorously, knocking over a living corpse that rushed over.
“Fatty, what time is it, and I still have thoughts about this.”
Da Jinya’s face turned green with fright: “Masters, let’s slip away quickly, and don’t care about the life or death of these foreign devils.”
“I’m also a foreigner.”
Laura glanced faintly at the big gold tooth.
“Look at my mouth.” Da Jinya slapped himself not too hard, and said with a smile: “Ms. Laura, I didn’t mean that, how can they compare with you, you and Master Li are a natural match, We are real people.”
Laura loves to hear these words, and she nodded very usefully: “Mr. Jin, I know many collectors who are interested in Longguo antiques, and I can introduce them to you next time.”
“Thank you Ms. Laura.”
Hearing this, Da Jinya was shocked, knowing that his flattery was on point, he immediately forgot about the big rice dumpling, picked up the nice words and said, “You and Master Li look like husband and wife, Mr. Li can find someone as beautiful and capable as you, it is really a blessing that has been accumulated for eight lifetimes…”
“okay!”
Li Xu interrupted him angrily: “Your flattery is too exaggerated, it makes my tooth hurt.”
“It’s a bit exaggerated.”
Da Jinya smiled awkwardly, and his excitement cooled down a little.
He was too excited.
Selling antiques, the most important thing is connections, with Laura, a nobleman, he will be prosperous in the future.
“I said, can you give the big zongzi a little face, this is a fraud, and there is still nonsense…〃”.”
Wang Kaixuan got angry while holding the Luoyang shovel.
