Chapter 117: The Nine-Story Divine Tower is Hell
This story is very nonsense when it is connected.
This is not a superstitious flavor, but an extremely strong fantasy flavor.
Originally, the existence of this strange pillar was already very surprising, buried in the mountain, and buried so deep, it was obviously not something that the ancients could do.
If nothing else, this huge metal pillar alone could not have been made by ancient people, let alone buried in the ground.
And the most nonsense is still in the back, this metal pillar has been dug for many years before digging to the very bottom, and there are nine people sitting at the bottom, still sitting cross-legged, young and old
This description often felt that this was a prank for the first time, to scare the great prince in turn, to make him think that there were nine gods sitting under this pillar, and then stop working the people and money.
But if you think about it carefully, Chang Fa feels that his inference is actually very unreliable, what kind of prank can do it in this form.
And the most important thing is that after the big prince saw the nine people sitting cross-legged, he knelt down directly, Chang Fa didn't know if they had a conversation, the description on the mural was not clear, but it was still a little strange to kneel.
Chang Fa went to look at the nine Rao faces again, two of them were children with very good faces, four were young people with short hair, and three were old people with white hair.
Seeing this, Chang Fa can't help but admire the skills of Gu Rao's watercolor and painting, the craftsmanship of this mural is very exquisite, and the content of the painting is also very beautiful.
Chang Fa felt that another place called Baoding was this mural, and he was now in a different world more than a hundred years ago, and there was no way to get this mural away, but he felt that if it was in the original world, such a good thing must be handed over to the country.
This is a combination of history and art, a world-famous cultural heritage, and it should not be buried in this dark underground.
But now this condition can't be handed over to the country, and it is the best protection if you don't destroy it, and maybe it will really be developed in a hundred years.
However, after seeing these nine rao murals, Chang Fa still can't understand what this mural is about and what it means.
These nine people are not some of the immortals in the legend, of course, it is also possible that the immortals in the later period have changed, so Chang Fa no longer recognizes them.
But in any case, this story is this story, and the four pillars here should be the four pillars in the middle, sleek, large and consistent, as if they were made from the trunk of a tree of equal size, and the symmetry is also very good.
After looking at the murals on the top of the treasure, Chang Fa knew a little about the origin of this nine-story divine pagoda and what these four pillars were, but he was even more confused about the whole place.
So he turned his head to look at the murals around him.
Looking closely, Chang Fa felt that the murals around him were even more nonsense.
The first floor is an empty space in which all the structures of the entire pagoda are recorded, which is very similar to the first floor where they are now located.
But from the second layer, it becomes magical.
The second layer is like the eighteenth layer of hell, with many ropes tied to the four pillars, and on each rope hangs rows of dead people, and below the dead people is a burning fire, which is constantly scorching the people hanging on top.
This may be the so-called Eighteen Hells of Flame.
The third floor is the steamer hell, and the whole space is a large cauldron, with water at the bottom, and firewood burning at the bottom, and everyone will be steamed by the boiling steam after entering.
The fourth layer is the oil pot hell, inside is a huge oil pot, which is full of piping hot oil, and the life that goes in is better than death, and the fried skin is open to the flesh.
The fifth layer is the iceberg hell, which is full of cold and ice, and everyone starts to stiffen when they enter, and soon after that, they freeze into ice. The wind was so strong that the ice could easily be blown up, fall into pieces, and then be blown up and down, and finally fall into ice slag.
Chang Fa felt that this was still more cruel, because it successfully turned an intact person into a "scumbag" in the end. ”
And the sixth layer is the stone mill hell, and those who enter it eventually fall into the stone mill and are crushed into blood and flesh by the stone mill.
The seventh layer is the blood pool hell, the entire ground is a blood pool, and after falling into the blood pool, it will gradually melt the contents inside, and eventually it will also become a ball of blood.
The eighth layer is the Sword Mountain Hell, and the real space is full of knives, and all those who enter it will be pierced by knives, and more flesh will be cut by the knife if they move.
The ninth floor, on the other hand, is more similar to the first floor, it is empty, with only nine people sitting cross-legged in the middle.
In addition to these murals, Chang Fa also saw a lot of words carved around, but unfortunately Chang Fa couldn't understand these and couldn't study what was in them.
But just looking at the content described in these murals, although they are a bit exaggerated, there are exaggerated elements when they look at it, but Chang Fa feels that it is still very eye-opening.
Although the content described in this whole mural is feudal and full of superstitious ideas and fantasy, the whole content is still very interesting.
I often find that I can understand how much the original person wanted to develop Dingling Mausoleum desperately, because it was really interesting to see what was inside.
If you put aside the protection of cultural relics and only let Chang Fa choose, he is also willing to dig up those imperial tombs to see, he is still a person who does not study ancient cultural relics and culture very much.
If someone is dedicated to researching this, they will definitely be more interested.
After looking at the murals, he put the things described in the murals a little in his mind, but still didn't find any particularly useful information.
It is important to note that it is often found that before we know exactly when this nine-story pagoda was built, these murals describe when.
In fact, when he saw the mural on the top of the treasure showing slaves, Chang Fa felt that it was probably a product of BC.
But there are no absolutes, and slaves do not necessarily have to be in a slave society, even after a long time, when the social productive forces have developed very highly, and civilization has progressed, there will still be slaves.
It's the same even now, but now it's all paid, and the name is a little better.
And just when Chang Fa was entangled, Li Fake suddenly smiled and said: "I may know what is recorded here, I seem to have seen these inscriptions somewhere." ”
