Chapter 678 [Like a dream](1/2)
Gongsun discovered the purpose of the golden basin, but Zhao Pu was still confused.
The Ninth Prince looked at the basin with disgust and asked Gongsun, "It's not a basin... Could it be a urinary pot?"
Gongsun gave Zhao Pu a blank look.
Zhao Pu urged him, "Let me tell me quickly, what exactly is it for?"
"The engravings should be found outside." Gongsun said, taking a veil, carefully wiping the surface of the golden basin, looking for something while wiping...
Finally, Gongsun found two words and showed them to Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu leaned over and took a closer look, puzzled, "Chen Fu?"
Gongsun nodded.
The two words "Chen Fu" are engraved on the golden basin.
Gongsun went to see another basin, and soon, at the same location, he found the same font, the words "Chen Qian".
Zhao Pu raised his head, "The abandoned house we dug into the grave is Chen's mansion... Is the owners of the two graves also the surname Chen?"
Zhao Pu said, looking at the two skeletons.
"These two should be Chen Fu and Chen Qian." Gongsun said, picking up a bone and showing it to Zhao Pu, "This is the position of the deceased's neck. Do you think the cut surface is flat?"
Zhao Pu looked at it, nodded, and then frowned, "So these two people were beheaded?"
Gongsun nodded, "And it wasn't the owl standing, but the one who was beheaded on his knees."
"So... was executed?" Zhao Pu asked.
Gongsun nodded, "These two golden basins are used to collect the cut off heads."
Zhao Pu looked surprised, "I have heard of Jinban washing my hands, and it is the first time I heard of Jinban's beheading..."
Gongsun looked at him with a squinted eye.
Zhao Pu didn't joke anymore and asked, "Why use a crooked golden basin with the name written to pick up the head of the owl?"
Gongsun put everything back in place, washed his hands, waved to Zhao Pu, and said, "I have only heard some legends about this, and I don't know much about it, but someone should know it."
"Who?" Zhao Pu followed him out curiously.
Gongsun smiled slightly, "Yin Hou and Tianzun
...
Gongsun and Zhao Pu walked from the coroner's room to the yard, and Zhan Zhao and the others happened to be back.
A group of children came in and chatted about the moves Xiao Liangzi used just now. How high is the skill of Tianzun and Yin Hou...
Gongsun narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang, and his eyes were like that - why did I hear such terrifying words as attack, surround, and break through? What does these words have to do with my little son?!
Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang looked up at the moon in the sky.
Chen Xing'er and Yueya'er came to take a group of children to rest. The disciples of Tianshan Sect had been struggling for a day today and were also arranged to rest.
The rest of the people were talking about the case in the small yard in front of Meow Meow Tower.
Tianzun and Yin Hou felt that they had nothing to do, so they wanted to go to bed early.
However, they were stopped by Gongsun before they left, "Old man, I have something to ask you."
Tianzun and Yin Hou blinked, and Gongsun went in and took out the two cleaned golden basins.
At first sight, Tianzun waved his hand, "Oh... Don't put this thing on the table if it's bad luck!"
Hou Yin also frowned.
Zhan Zhao was curious and asked his grandfather, "Grandpa... do you know why this golden basin is used for?"
Yutang also looks at the Heavenly Lord.
"The rules of the sects in the past." Tianzun said, "It has not been popular for many years."
Zhan Zhao and others sat down and listened - it turned out to be the rules of the world, and they had never heard of it before.
"The golden basin wash hands means that he will leave the martial arts world and will not be involved in the martial arts world since then... This is the only one that has been used to this day." Yin Hou said, "But in fact, when the martial arts world was relatively chaotic, there were many sect rules. There were many types of golden basins, and there was also a very complete set of customs. The golden basin was just one of them... This kind of crooked golden basin is used to correspond to a ritual."
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Yin Hou and Tianzun.
The Heavenly Lord raised his eyebrows and "The golden basin beheaded."
Zhao Pu opened his mouth wide and looked at Gongsun. That's what he meant - he was actually confused!
Gongsun was also amused and crying.
"When should we use a golden basin to behead our heads?" Zhan Zhao was curious.
"Betrayal of the master sect leads to the destruction of the sect or major casualties." Yin Hou said, "or deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors... In short, if you do unforgivable things that harm the interests of the sect, you can use this method to lynch your life."
"The head fell into the golden basin, and then the corpse and the golden basin containing the head were buried together. It is said that the dead will never enter the martial arts world again in life." Tianzun held his chin, "In the past, except for kung fu, witchcraft curses and poison techniques were very popular. The martial arts world a hundred years ago was simply rampant until sixty years ago. In addition, the frequent wars in the world were not very peaceful, and there was no official to control it. Therefore, larger sects have their own rules, and some even take what the wizard said as the basis, and it is in chaos."
"Later, after the world was unified, the court spent a lot of effort to govern the martial arts world, and those lunatics had no place to stay." Yin Hou said, "All the bad habits were abolished except for washing hands in the golden basin."
Zhan Zhao and others nodded. So that's the case. The martial arts rules sixty years ago were the ones.
"What about these corpses?" Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun, "How long have you been dead?"
Gongsun Dao, "It's true that it's been a few years, probably sixty or seventy or even hundreds of years ago."
"That makes sense...but there weren't these corpses in that place many years ago, right?" Zhan Zhao shook his head, "I just asked the residents nearby. They all said that there was nothing in the mountains, and there was no lonely grave."
"Indeed, if there is, someone will have been discovered!" said the little marquis, glanced at the unfilled pit not far away, "Isn't there really someone who is idle digging tunnels and transporting some lonely graves and abandoned houses over? What is the purpose?"
Yin Hou reached out, took the golden basin and looked carefully, shook his head, "I can't see the source."
"The sects that have used this kind of torture before... are there still there now?" Bai Yutang asked.
Both Yin Hou and Tianzun frowned.
"It should...nothing?" Tianzun asked Yin Hou.
Yin Hou thought about it carefully and said, "Apart from a few particularly large martial arts sects, the other sects have fallen apart... The sects that were definitely not there at that time, but if those sects are there, I will just say whether they are there. After all, they are only over 60 years old. Now in their seventies or eighties, they may have experienced that period."
Zhan Zhao and others frowned. Those who were still 70 or 80 years old were all masters...
"Did that old lady set it up?" Bao Yan asked.
"When it comes to the old lady..." Zhan Zhao asked Yin Hou, "If you can control the eight Taoist priests of Xianyang Mountain and the Taoist nuns of Emei Mountain in this way, this person should have a very high soul-catching technique, right?"
Hou Yin spread his hands, "This time they are all monks and masters... and they are all masters. There may be other tricks here besides soul-catching techniques."
"Tip..." Everyone touched their chins.
Bai Yutang suddenly spoke, "Grandpa."
"Hmm?" Yin Hou looked at Bai Yutang with a smile. He liked Bai Yutang the most and called him grandfather with Zhan Zhao.
Bai Yutang asked Yin Hou, "Can you... use soul-catching skills on me?"
Yin Hou was stunned.
Zhao Pu raised his hand, "I want to try it too."
Tianzun held his forehead, "You kids... why are you trying this? It's not fun at all!"
Lin Yehuo was also curious, "Can a group of people really enter the illusion, and they can't tell the difference between reality and illusion?"
Hou Yin touched his chin, looked at everyone, and asked, "Do you really want to try?"
Everyone nodded.
Hou Yin looked at everyone again and nodded, "Okay...you go outside the door first, close the courtyard door, knock on the door, I'll open it and you come in again."
Everyone nodded and a group of people rushed outside the yard.
Tianzun shook his head and ran away, "I won't play with this, I'll go find Xiao Sizi to have a midnight snack."
Everyone waited at the door for about half a cup of tea, but there was no movement in the yard. Zhan Zhao went up to listen at the entrance of the yard, and then reached out to knock on the door.
With Zhan Zhao knocking on the door, he heard footsteps coming from behind the door.
Zhan Zhao tilted his head and blinked. Why did he feel that the footsteps are so familiar?
Then, the door opened with a "crunch". A beautiful woman in red stood at the door and said with a smile, "Zhaoer, are you back?"
Zhan Zhao was stunned, and Bai Yutang beside Zhan Zhao was also stunned. Everyone behind him wiped their eyes... Who is in front of him? It turned out to be Hong Jiuniang.
Pang Yu reached out and touched Jiu Niang's arm, "It's true...oh!"
The little marquis was beaten after touching him. Jiuniang cursed him with her waist, "You are so frivolous, I can be your grandma, you little bastard!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and everyone had a question at this time - when did Jiu Niang come?
"Why are you standing at the door stupidly?" Jiu Niang led everyone in.
Pang Yu rubbed the bag on his head and said to Bao Yan, "Really! My head must be swollen."
Xiaobao stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, and he really bulged his bag.
As soon as they stepped into the yard, everyone was stunned.
Where are they in the small courtyard in front of Meow Meow Tower now, but in the Demon Palace!
