Several people stared at the back part of the tomb, their faces were a little ugly.

Fatty Wang's expression became even uglier, "Damn, I remember, my candle hasn't been lit yet, then, what's going on with those candles?"

At this moment, in the second half of the tomb, six light spots are shining.

The flame flickered, flickering, making people feel extraordinarily uncertain.

Ye Cheng's night eye could see clearly, "This is the long-lived candle that already existed. It should have been ignited because the temperature here was too high just now."

"Eternal light!" Fatty Wang heaved a sigh of relief.

This thing is still very common in ancient tombs.

But most of the permanent lights have gone out.

How long this thing lasts depends entirely on the lamp oil.

The best lamp oil is of course mermaid oil. Legend has it that the ever-burning lamp made of mermaid oil is the real ever-burning lamp and can last forever.

Ye Cheng moved closer and could see more clearly.

I saw that there were six bronze pillars embedded in the wall behind.

To each of the six pillars is bound a humanoid creature with a copper chain.

Against the backdrop of the fire, six big faces also appeared in front of them.

After Fatty Wang saw it clearly, he exclaimed, "Fuck, isn't this the South Sea Merman?"

Li Duoduo also recognized it.

Although the bodies of these six humanoid creatures have been shriveled and disfigured, they are almost exactly the same as the South Sea Merman, except that these six seem to be female characters.

On the chest, there are obvious feminine features.

These people have dense black scales on their bodies, covering their whole bodies, and their mouths are particularly large, round and open, with a layer of sharp teeth on top and bottom.

And the candle was burning in their mouths.

A candle stick can be seen extending down their throats, which should be used to absorb the corpse oil from their bodies.

These six South Sea sharks were bound by copper rings to their lute bones, tied to bronze pillars, kneeling on the ground with their lower bodies, their ferocious faces seemed to be full of venom, and they looked rather terrifying.

Li Duoduo frowned and said: "This King Xian has even found the Merman from the South China Sea. It's really amazing!"

You must know that the location of southern Yunnan is not close to the sea.

This King Xian was able to get the South Sea Merman, the method was not simple.

As expected of a person with great luck, unfortunately, this luck was all used for this.

Fatty Wang curled his lips and said regretfully: "It's a pity that they are all dead, otherwise they will be sold at a zoo or aquarium, and they will definitely sell for a good price!"

Li Duoduo was speechless for a while!

Ye Cheng walked to the side and found out again.

There are three copper pillars beside it.

It's just that there are no South Sea Merman tied to it, but three fat boys aged eleven or twelve.

These boys were dressed as escorts, their faces were painted brightly and colorfully, which was a bit creepy.

They also knelt on the ground.

The wick is at the navel, unfortunately, this human oil is obviously not as good as shark oil, and now the wick has not burned.

Fatty Wang scolded, "Damn, this old man Wang is really insane, even a child can do it."

He put his head up and took a closer look, and said, "Brother, come and see, what does the sign on this kid say?"

Ye Cheng went over to take a look, and said, "It's about receiving immortals and guiding sages, this King Xian is quite thoughtful, these three are holding cards to guide Xian Wang Chengxian!"

Li Duoduo stroked her chin, as if thinking about something.

"Strange, as far as I know, this longevity candle corresponds to the dead in the tomb. The number is strictly limited. One longevity candle corresponds to a corpse. However, there are nine longevity candles here. Doesn't it mean that there are nine dead people here? A dead body? How do you explain that?"

Fatty Wang nodded, "Indeed, I've heard of this fat man. There are strict rules for one longevity candle corresponding to one corpse. Now, these three coffins, plus the one below, are only four. Where did the nine come from!"

Ye Cheng said quietly, "It's not nine lamps, but ten lamps. Look in the middle!"

The two followed Ye Cheng's gaze.

Indeed, in the middle, there is a huge bronze bull head lamp.

This bull head lamp is very large and simple in shape, and the lamp oil on it has long since disappeared.

"Ten lamps, that's even more damn wrong, even counting the three of us, it's not enough ten!" Fatty Wang said!

Li Duoduo rolled his eyes at him, "Fatty brother, don't talk nonsense, these longevity candles are all lit for the dead, why are we counted!"

"Bah, bah, I was wrong, I was just using an analogy!" Fatty Wang said embarrassedly!

The two couldn't figure it out, so they could only look at Ye Cheng.

But when he saw Ye Cheng, he looked indifferent, as if he knew everything.

Of course, the two of them have long been accustomed to Ye Cheng's expression.

After all, Li Duoduo felt that Ye Cheng was very familiar with this place from the very beginning, as if he had been here before.

"Brother Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Cheng said: "Do you still remember the Sansheng Bridge?"

Both nodded.

Ye Cheng continued: "The Sansheng bridge should represent the third life of King Xian, and the corpses in these three coffins should represent the third life of King Xian!"

"Taoism specializes in refining and nourishing qi in order to prove the Tao and become an immortal, so as to escape the suffering of life, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people. However, becoming an immortal is not what you want to achieve. If you want to reborn, it is not as simple as peeling off the skin. You have to go through several major catastrophes. And these The catastrophe is not something that can be forced, so some people in the Taoist sect find their own bones from the previous three lives instead, and bury them in the body as a shadow bone, so as to show the world that they have gone through the three prisons and can be reborn. In this way, there is hope for this life of Huaxian."

...

I like to point out the archaeological team, but I was regarded as a tomb robber.
