After Bi Bufan's explanation, I understood what the Resurrection Altar is.
The so-called Resurrection Altar is divided into two parts. One part is a disc-shaped object with a diameter of thirty centimeters, and there is a protrusion in the middle that is more than ten centimeters high, called the Life Stone Pillar. The other part is a circular object called the Lost Soul Charm, which is the soul pendant in my hand.
The Resurrection Altar is one of the most important treasures collected by the Zhou royal family, and it is unknown who built it or when it originated. According to legend, the Resurrection Altar can guide lost souls and, under the influence of a certain ritual, allow those who have died to be reborn.
During the reign of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Lv Buwei conquered Zhou and the Resurrection Altar fell into the hands of the Qin people. After unifying the six states, Emperor Qin Shi Huang launched a large-scale construction project, including the construction of tombs and the Afang Palace. At that time, Emperor Qin Shi Huang made two preparations. On the one hand, he actively searched for the elixir of immortality and longed for immortality. On the other hand, if the elixir cannot be found, use the power of the Resurrection Altar to give oneself a chance to be resurrected. Therefore, Emperor Qin Shi Huang built the Resurrection Hall in the Afang Palace, which houses the Resurrection Altar.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang led his troops to capture Xianyang. In order to appease Xiang Yu's anger, Liu Bang respectfully presented the Resurrection Altar to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu burned Ah Fang Palace, but he didn't dig the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor because of this altar. Because Xiang Yu believed that since the Resurrection Altar was in his hands, Qin Shi Huang would never have the hope of resurrection, and whether or not to dig his tomb was not important.
After decades of war, the Resurrection Altar somehow fell into the hands of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng. In the third year of Jianyuan, the reason why Liu Sheng dared to go to Chang'an with Prince Dai Liu Deng, Prince Changsha Liu Fa, and Prince Jichuan Liu Ming to meet his younger brother Emperor Wu of Han, and did not fear danger by crying in front of Emperor Wu of Han, was because he had a resurrection altar in his hand and was not afraid of death.
Prince Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng, was extremely fond of his queen Dou Wan and hoped to be reborn with her in the future. Therefore, he entrusted the responsibility of guarding the Soul Altar to Dou Wan's younger brother Dou Ke. Dou Ke and his descendants have indeed lived up to the great trust of Prince Jing of Zhongshan. They have been guarding this secret for over a thousand years, hoping that one day their king will come back again.
However, a devoted woman caused this millennium plan to fail.
Due to the large volume and heavy weight of the Life Stone Pillar, Dou Ling was unable to move it. She only took the soul pendant hanging from the Life Stone Pillar. It can be imagined that Dou Ling at that time absolutely did not know the secret of the Resurrection Altar, otherwise even if she was despicable, she would not dare to steal the Soul Pendant. Dou Ling may feel that she will never see her biological parents again after this farewell, so she just wants to take something as a souvenir.
This is the first time in thousands of years that the life pillar and soul pendant have been separated for a long time, resulting in a series of terrible things happening.
Bi Bufan let out a long sigh and said, "Ever since Dou Ling took the soul pendant, disaster has struck. On the first day Dou Ling left, her father died without a trace, and the next day, her mother inexplicably passed away. Then, every month, a member of the Dou family would die unexpectedly. After only three years, the prosperous Dou family had less than ten people left. The Dou family believed that all disasters originated from the Resurrection Altar, and in order to avoid disasters, the Life Stone Pillar and the Soul Pendant must be merged into one. Therefore, the Dou family poured out and went to the outside world to search for Dou Ling and that Chen Dayi. With this departure, there were no more members of the Dou family left. I've been back. Maybe they're all dead, maybe they're still searching
After listening to Bi Bufan's words, I was speechless for a long time. Intuition told me that Bi Bufan was serious, but reason told me that it was just a poignant legend. It is already unbelievable that a person can come back to life after death, but when two stones are together for over a thousand years without any abnormalities, they become deadly weapons after being separated, which is even more unacceptable.
Master, how can the Resurrection Altar resurrect people? "Bi Bufan said a lot, but he did not provide an example of successfully resurrecting people using the Resurrection Altar.
When the moment of resurrection arrives, the soul pendant will be hung on the bones of the deceased, absorbing their soul. Then, the soul pendant will be hung on the pillar of life, reshaping the memory and structure of the soul. "Bi Bufan explained in detail," At this time, a sacrifice is needed. As long as the sacrifice hangs the soul pendant on their wrist, the reshaped soul inside will replace the sacrifice's soul, thus achieving the goal of shell resurrection. The soul of the deceased returns, and although the body is not their own, in a sense, they have indeed been reborn
Since it's so simple, why couldn't the Dou family resurrect Liu Sheng after waiting at the foot of Ling Mountain for over a thousand years? "I want to find a reason to prove the absurdity of Bi Bufan.
Because time is not enough, "Bi Bufan picked up the wine gourd and leaned under his nose to sniff it vigorously." The Resurrection Altar, also known as the Six Paths of Reincarnation, takes effect after accepting 66 reincarnations of the deceased, which is 1880 years
Liu Sheng was conferred the title of Prince Jing of Zhongshan in the third year of Emperor Jing's reign, which was 153 BC. He reigned for forty-two years and died in 111 BC. It has been over two thousand years since then, and he can no longer be resurrected. "When I visited the Han tombs in Mancheng last time, I had some memories of the life of Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
You're wrong. The Life Pillar needs 1880 years to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in order to have enough power to resurrect people. Now the spiritual energy is enough, as long as you have a soul pendant, you can resurrect people at any time. In fact, if Dou Ling didn't steal the soul pendant, Liu Shenghe might have been resurrected in a few years. A small incident turned thousands of people's long wait into nothingness. Natural disasters, human disasters, fate
Bi Bufan let out a long sigh, while I held back my laughter on the side. No matter what Bi Bufan says, I still don't want to believe this.
Young man, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad for you. Because in the near future, you will have royal bloodline, and the price is that you will lose your own consciousness. "Bi Bufan finished speaking and looked straight at me with a compassionate expression on his face.
Are you joking? Are you saying that Liu Sheng's soul will be attached to me? "I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Bi Bufan pointed to my wrist and said, "If you put on the soul pendant, it means you voluntarily choose to be a sacrifice. If the soul pendant cannot be removed, it means that the soul pendant recognizes your identity as a sacrifice
