Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 366 The Great Black Goddess, Asking Questions Despite Knowing Them

Uncle Chen looked at Boss Dong with a threatening look.

Boss Dong lowered his head and dared not look at him.

I quickly explained, "Uncle Chen, this is a Buddha statue in the crypt."

"After you went up there, the lime layer around the crypt collapsed, and I happened to discover this thing."

"Oh, and the copper box that was dug out of the lime layer."

"Brother Dong, please help me take it out."

Boss Dong gave me a puzzled look.

Just make up an excuse and get away with it.

To be honest, what if Uncle Chen takes a fancy to the Buddha statue and wants to take it away?

I stuck out my lips at him.

He gestured for the copper box to be taken out quickly.

I don't care who the bronze gilt Buddha belongs to.

The most important thing is to figure out what the unclean things are.

Only by telling the truth can Uncle Chen help you.

Boss Dong shook his head slightly, bent down and took out the copper box.

There are bronze gilt Buddha statues, golden boxes inlaid with gems, and copper boxes neatly arranged in a row.

The wheelchair was pushed to the bedside.

Uncle Chen picked up the copper box first.

I recalled the situation in the crypt and said, "The copper box and the bronze gilded Buddha are both from the crypt."

"The two objects are buried in the lime layer in opposite positions."

"I think it's probably facing right."

The copper box, the large vat, and the copper gilt Buddha should form a straight line.

What is the purpose of this arrangement?

I can't guess.

I just hope Uncle Chen can give an explanation.

Click.

Uncle Chen opened the copper box, picked up a corpse-beheading pill and placed it in front of him.

Boss Dong and Chen Huimin looked over at the same time.

"Chinese medicine pills?"

"But the Chinese medicine pills buried underground can't be eaten, right?"

Don't say it.

The Corpse-Slaying Pill looks quite like a large honey pill from a Chinese patent medicine, similar to the Baohe Pill.

Uncle Chen smelled the scent.

He shook his head and said, "This is not an ordinary Chinese medicine pill."

"I can smell the coolness of borneol, the fragrance of musk, and a hint of the special scent of metal and stone medicines."

"At least it has the effect of promoting the flow of Qi and opening up the orifices."

The three of us stared at Uncle Chen blankly.

Is this a dog's nose?

Can ask so many flavors.

Uncle Chen showed a nostalgic look: "My master has inherited the Taoist medicine."

"Master will treat the patient, and I will be responsible for picking and decocting the medicine."

"When dignitaries come to seek medical advice, the master will use precious medicines such as rhinoceros horn, musk, and bezoar."

"I've been exposed to it so many times that I've naturally become familiar with the smell of the medicine."

After he finished explaining, I whispered, "Uncle Chen, the inside of the box is labeled Corpse-Slaying Pill."

"At that time, I wanted to ask you if you would no longer be afraid of Qing Gu after you surrendered... but you immediately played your trump card."

Uncle Chen's face froze.

The fingers holding the corpse-slaying pill trembled slightly.

His eyes flashed with brilliance, wanting to look at me.

But his eyelids drooped halfway around.

He was clearly in mixed emotions.

Opening a land household is a high price to pay, and it will shorten one's life by at least seven or eight years.

If there were other ways to break the deadlock at that time.

He certainly wouldn't use his trump card at the risk of shortening his life.

So my honesty inevitably irritated him.

But I can't help it.

Not only will lying be easily discovered, but you may also have to make up more lies to cover it up.

It’s better to tell the truth.

Even if it stimulated Uncle Chen's emotions, it would only be temporary.

After all, I paid a lot for this trip...

Uncle Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He said slowly: "Even if it is a real corpse-slaying pill, I wouldn't dare to eat it under such circumstances."

"After all, the origin is unknown."

There's nothing wrong with that.

Never eat anything of unknown origin.

After saying this, Uncle Chen squeezed the corpse-beheading pill hard.

Click!

The corpse-slaying pill actually broke!

Dark green mucus flowed out of the broken corpse-beheading pill.

And a pile of white insect eggs the size of a ballpoint pen tip.

"Tsk tsk." Uncle Chen smacked his lips.

"How can this be a corpse-slaying pill?"

"It's clear that the eggs are covered with a layer of Chinese medicine."

"The consequences of eating it are disastrous."

"Whoever made this thing deserves death!"

I secretly rejoiced in my heart.

Fortunately, Uncle Chen played his trump card at that time.

Otherwise, I might really take the corpse-beheading pill as a last resort.

I praised: "Uncle Chen really has a keen eye!"

"Stop flattering."

Uncle Chen said to stop flattering.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Then he picked up the gilded bronze Buddha statue and shook it at me.

"The Corpse-Slaying Pill is a way to confuse the enemy."

"The gilded bronze Buddha statue standing opposite it is certainly not a good thing either."

"Do you know what kind of Buddha this statue is?"

Boss Dong and I looked at each other.

There was confusion in their eyes.

Obviously, neither of us knew what kind of Buddha statue this was.

Looking at the bronze gilt Buddha statue carefully again at this moment, I even felt a sense of strangeness in my heart.

The Buddha statue is very well cast and the details are lifelike.

But if you look closely you'll get a chill.

Because the female Buddha statue was not kind at all, but rather extremely ferocious.

She had a ferocious look on her face, with her long tongue sticking out of her mouth and a string of human heads hanging around her neck.

With his upper body bare, he raised four arms, two of which held swords and the other two held human heads.

There was a circle of hands tied around her waist.

Under his feet was a severed head.

This is a typical Tantric Buddhist statue style.

Chinese Buddhist statues tend to feature compassionate expressions as much as possible.

Even the guardian Vajra with a ferocious look only has a slightly ferocious expression.

I looked at the Buddha statue carefully.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know."

Boss Dong then said, "I don't know either."

"You're so bold to take things without knowing anything. Young people are really brave."

After saying this, Uncle Chen looked at me deeply.

I instantly felt like I was being seen through.

Could it be that he saw that something unclean had possessed me?

Just as I was about to ask, Chen Bo spoke first.

"This is a statue of the Great Black Goddess."

"The important guardian deity of Mahakala in Tantric Buddhism is called Mahakala. The male Mahakala is called Mahakala, and the female Mahakala is called Mahakala Goddess."

"The Great Black Goddess's real name is Kali."

"It symbolizes strength, rebirth, time, and change."

"Previous sacrifices to the Great Black Goddess have always involved human sacrifice!"

The slower Uncle Chen spoke, the deeper his eyes looked at me.

It seems to be telling me important information with this passage.

I thought back to the scene in the crypt.

Are the gravely deceased bodies in the jars considered human sacrifices?

If reburying a corpse is considered human sacrifice, then the power, rebirth, time, and change symbolized by the Great Black Goddess are what the sacrificer pursues.

Needless to say, it is powerful.

New life, time and change put together are really interesting.

Isn’t the layout of the crypt for feng shui?

But he wanted to use human sacrifice and then use time to achieve changes and create a powerful new life?

hiss!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shiver.

Could the unclean things in the Buddha statues be the souls of the dead seeking rebirth?!

That thing is now inside me... Is it trying to take over my body?!

I suppressed the panic in my heart.

With a stern face, he pretended to be calm and said, "Uncle Chen, could the gravely deceased corpse in the crypt be an offering for this Buddha statue?"

Uncle Chen neither nodded nor shook his head.

Instead, he picked up the golden box and slowly opened it, saying, "You ask even though you already know the answer."

"How long you can live depends on what's hidden inside the Buddha statue!"

"If you're cursed... you won't survive more than seven days!!!"
