Chapter 53: The Identity of the Ancestors of Vasiba
A coffin made out of a door!
A door made out of a coffin!
Regardless of whether Chen Jie's mentor was right or not, this truth made Su Chen and the others fall silent.
The ancients attached great importance to the afterlife, from high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and pawns, but if there were some conditions, they would prepare their graves in advance.
In the eyes of the ancients, the house was for the living, so the coffin was for the deceased, and without the coffin to collect the body, the deceased would not be able to live in peace.
This can be seen from the storylines of those costume TV series who sell themselves to bury their fathers at every turn, in order to buy a coffin for their parents, they are willing to be slaves and servants, which shows how much the ancients attached importance to coffins.
Since it is the top priority, it is natural that the door will not be dismantled at will to make a coffin, which is a great disrespect to the deceased.
In Su Chen's opinion, Chen Jie's mentor probably also made such a judgment based on these.
The coffin of the ancient tomb should be to hide the true face of the door.
But what was the purpose of the ancients in doing this, and what is the origin of this door?
Su Chen looked at Chen Jie, but Chen Jie didn't continue, Su Chen knew that Chen Jie's mentor must have learned more than a little about this door, who is in the field of archaeology, likes to get to the bottom of the matter, and how can people who are not even willing to let go of other people's ancestral graves not to investigate this strange phenomenon thoroughly.
It may be that Chen Jie's mentor didn't tell Chen Jie, or it may be that Chen Jie deliberately didn't say it, but no matter what, just one door is so mysterious, it seems that this ancestral house is definitely hiding some big secret.
"Alright, don't waste time, let's go inside. ”
Liu Shanxi was a little impatient, he was the least worried, because this ancestral house was built by his ancestors, and as mentioned earlier, the descendants of Waxiba can enter, even if this ancestral house is very weird, but he is at least the safest.
The door was opened by Liu Shanxi, and everyone thought that they could see the true face of this ancestral house, but the scene inside the door made everyone present look puzzled.
Behind the door, there is a wooden staircase, the whole staircase is not very steep, but it is long, at least no one can see the end, and on the bottom of this staircase, on either side are two strange wooden carvings of the beast.
They are called strange beasts because these two monsters are different from the ones that usually appear underground.
In the eyes of the ancients, the underground is the world of the dead, which is full of yin and evil, and even if you want to create this kind of giant beast, it is also a giant beast with evil spirits, such as Pixiu or Qiyi.
But not to mention the hideous faces of these two giant beasts, the most important thing is that they have four eyes, and these four eyes are not a little different from the four-eyed giant beasts on the pair of pull rings on the wooden door before.
The four-eyed beast on the wooden door ring has two pairs of eyes arranged up and down, but here they are in a row, but other than that, the face of the whole beast is the same, and the eyes are closed.
"It's strange, the old man has traveled from south to north, and he has seen a lot, and he has not been to the ancient tombs, but this animal is really the first time I have seen it. ”
Mu Hua looked at one of the giant beast statues, and Huo Yuyong on the side couldn't help but retort when he heard Mu Hua's words: "You think the ancient tomb is a vegetable in the vegetable market, you can see it everywhere, and you haven't been to it yet." ”
Hearing Huo Yuyong's rebuttal, Mu Hua just smiled and didn't argue, but Su Chen knew that Mu Hua wasn't lying.
The corpse chasing faction is dealing with corpses, which has two steps, the first step is to refine the corpse, after the completion of the corpse, the corpse must be raised, and the general ancient tombs are carefully selected by contemporary feng shui masters of a good place, full of yin energy, if the corpse is put into the ancient tomb to conceive, you can shorten the growth time of the corpse.
Su Chen still remembered Old Man Tian's words, according to his words, he didn't touch the tomb of the world, Qin Zhixian's tomb, after Qin, except for the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, he almost entered all the other ancient tombs, and even once threw the body of an unlucky emperor out of the coffin, and he slept in it for several years.
As for why Old Man Tian didn't touch the tomb of Xianqin, Su Chen also asked curiously, and got a plausible answer.
"The Three Emperors and Five Emperors are not comparable to the Son of Heaven. ”
......
"Shall we climb this staircase or go to the sides?"
Liu Shanxi opened his mouth to everyone, this ancestral house is the same as the palace, the door is big, but the door is bigger, this wooden step does not know where it leads, but in addition to climbing the wooden steps to the front, both sides can also walk, it depends on everyone's choice.
"Since this ancestral house is built like the imperial palace, obviously the top of the steps is the most important, and there are probably some side halls on both sides, but as for which side it leads, I think I can choose it separately. ”
Mu Hua withdrew his gaze from the giant beast and said what was in his heart.
There are currently three options, and the three of them can just choose one path each, so that at least the three of them will not be right in a short period of time.
"What Mu Daoyou said makes sense, then I will choose to climb the wooden ladder and go forward. ”
Liu Shanxi took the first step to make a choice, in his opinion, this is definitely the most important thing in front of him, no matter how mysterious the ancestral house is built, but it must always conform to a certain law, and the most central location must be the most noble place.
No one can change this, not even the designer.
The sky is round, and the center is positive.
Even now, many people's home decoration pursues individuality, but it is impossible to design the kitchen or bathroom in the middle, and then make the living room and the main room in the corner.
"Okay, then the old man will go to the right. ”
"Then I'll go to the left. ”
Mu Hua and Su Chen's answers made Liu Shanxi a little puzzled, he didn't believe that these two people would not understand this truth, normally speaking, these two should be competing with him for the road ahead, how could they give up so easily?
"Why, you're not satisfied with the best choice? If you're not satisfied, let's change the two?"
Seeing that Liu Shanxi hesitated again, Mu Hua snorted coldly, and his words made Liu Shanxi's expression a little embarrassed, and then replied: "Since this is the case, then congratulations to the two Taoist friends for their full harvest." ”
didn't stop any longer, Liu Shanxi went directly up the wooden steps, and soon the figure disappeared into the darkness.
Among the people present, Liu Shanxi was the only lone traveler, he left, and no one else followed, although Huo Yuyong wanted to follow, but seeing his junior sister standing in place and not moving, he finally endured it.
"Su Daoyou, the old man is also gone, you three come with me. ”
Mu Hua glanced at Su Chen with a little meaning, and then commanded Lin Ruosheng's three subordinates to follow his footsteps, the reason why he was so good at talking was not that he was afraid of Liu Shanxi, but because after stepping into the gate, he sensed his refining corpse, which was in the right direction.
Lin Ruosheng's three subordinates first glanced at Lin Huai, after all, this is the grandson of Old Man Lin, although they were ordered to follow Mr. Mu's instructions, but at that time, the boss did not let Young Master Lin come down, and now that Young Master Lin is down, is it necessary to protect Young Master Lin's safety first?
However, Lin Huai didn't care about these at all, and didn't speak, and the three subordinates hesitated for a moment, and then followed Mu Hua towards the right.
"Su Chen, what are you hiding, why do they call you Daoyou, and what are you doing here?"
As soon as Liu Shanxi and Mu Hua left, Chen Xin returned to her original lively appearance, even if everything here made her panic.
"Of course, I came here for my own reasons, but I advise you to leave here, and even if you really want to protect these cultural relics, wait until the large army comes. ”
This ancestral house is very weird, Su Chen said this for Chen Xin and the others, he may not be able to ensure safety here, let alone ordinary people.
"If you don't leave, why should we go, let me tell you, don't you want to do anything bad, the crime of destroying ancient cultural relics is very serious, I want to supervise you, I can't let you do bad things, and Uncle Su will go to see you in prison when the time comes." ”
Hearing Chen Xin's words, the corners of Su Chen's mouth twitched, and he looked at Chen Jie and Huo Yuyong again, and found that these two people did not have any appearance of shaking and retreating, as for Lin Huai, he just glanced at Su Chen and withdrew his gaze.
Licking the dog, you can basically ignore it.
"Su Chen, I know that Grandpa Su will have some skills in that area, but don't worry, we are not a burden, at least about this wooden house, in your words, it is an ancestral house, I believe that there are some aspects that I can help you. ”
Chen Jie spoke, hearing Chen Jie's words, Su Chen knew that she had misunderstood, thinking that she had learned from her grandfather, and that after her grandfather came back from the army, he was indeed a barefoot doctor in the village, and occasionally played the role of a gentleman.
"I don't know what you're here for, but it's clear that the three of you are not in a group, and when you just listened to your conversation, you should only know that this ancestral house was built by the ancestors of Vasiba, but you should not know the identity of the ancestors of Wasiba. ”
"Identity, what identity?"
Su Chen frowned, weren't the ancestors of Vaxiba some local villagers, could it be that there were other identities besides that?
"I carefully studied the local county annals and went to the provincial museum to check some information, and found that the identity of the villagers in Waxiba was not simple. Chen Jie's expression became serious, and he continued: "Although it is said that the land on this side of Poyang Lake is fertile, it is not true that there is no war, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought a big battle in Poyang Lake, but in this battle, whether it is the official history or the wild history, there is no mention of the place of Huaxi Dam. ”
"Sister, there is no record in the history books, probably because Vaxiba was not the name of the place at that time, or the place was too small and was ignored. Chen Xin put forward his own speculation.
"I thought the same as you at first, until later I found a miscellaneous book written by a Xiucai in ZY County in the early Ming Dynasty, which mentioned a story, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were not as good as Chen Youliang, so some soldiers suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang catch Zhuang Ding to replenish the troops, and Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed, but at that time, Liu Ji, a think tank around Zhu Yuanzhang, said a sentence: The land of Poyang can be conscripted, but the people of Vaxi cannot be violated. ”
