Chapter 1155: White Horse Gate
"You'd be wrong. The machine spirit didn't speak, but the grandfather spoke first, "This is not necessarily the skin of a living person, it is very likely that it was peeled from a dead person." β
"Dead people?" I asked my grandfather with wide eyes, "How is it possible? Could it be that when the owner of the tomb died, all these people died?"
"Yes, these people should have died earlier than him, for example, after dying on the battlefield, when the body was recovered, the lord was reluctant to love the general, so he let people peel off his face, and preserved it with a secret method, whenever he missed the love general, he took it out and looked at it, and said his heart to the face of the love general, and when he saw the face of the emperor, he took these faces down to be buried, and then let people make these puppets, and then put the face on them, which means that these love will follow the lord to the underworld to continue the war after his death, in fact, it is also to guard the mausoleumγ Grandpa explained.
"Ahh β
"The idea of the ancient people is actually difficult to understand, this kind of skinning practice is more popular in the Three Kingdoms period, if you hate a person, you often want to skin the other party to eat meat and drink blood, after peeling the skin, wear his skin to sleep every day, it is also the meaning of humiliating the other party. Grandpa continued.
"Eat meat on the skin?" I swallowed hard, and the acid in my stomach was about to vomit.
"Then is this tomb a tomb of the three periods? Could it be the tomb of Cao Cao?" I asked Grandpa Xiang.
"It's almost certain that it's Cao Cao's tomb. Grandpa said confidently.
"Where did you see that?" I asked, puzzled.
"First, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were not many people who had the ability to have an identity to arrange such a tomb, Cao Cao was one of them; second, you look at the white horse gate, when Cao Cao invited the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, there was such a white horse gate in the palace, and only the Son of Heaven could pass through this door; third, there were not many capable people in history who knew how to puppet the machine, Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms period was a good hand, and the wooden ox and flowing horse he created played a big role at that time, and has been passed down to this day. Grandpa explained.
"Then Zhuge Liang helped Cao Cao set up this tomb, right?" I opened my mouth wide, even if I don't know history, but the Three Kingdoms didn't see less, Zhuge Liang was on the opposite side of Cao Cao.
"It's not Zhuge Liang, but the person who knows Zhuge Liang best. "Grandpa sold it.
"Who?"
"Sima Yi. Grandpa said eloquently: "If you ask who is the person who knows Zhuge Liang best in the Three Kingdoms, it must be Sima Yi, and this person is an immortal genius, a top strategist, who loves and kills each other, and when he is alive, he is speculating about each other, and he can't wait to understand each other thoroughly, understand each other and even understand himself, know himself and the other, and will not be defeated in a hundred battles, this puppet technique must have been obtained from Zhuge Liang, and maybe Sima Yi himself will." β
It dawned on me that I still need to read more.
Since it is certain that this is Cao Cao's tomb, then there is a bottom in my heart, and Xuanjing has found a lot, but it is impossible to leave.
I looked at the dark iron puppets on the ground, and said with a smile: "So many dark irons, take them back to Mozi to study, they will definitely make him happy to death, Cao Cao doesn't know how much time it took to collect these dark irons." β
The machine spirit collected these dark iron puppets into the Tower of Babel one by one, and this time the harvest is not abundant.
Then he glanced around, looked at the arch, the white horse gate, and asked his grandfather: "Grandpa, did you say that behind this white horse gate, is it Cao Cao's tomb?"
"Wait, don't rush in yet. "Grandpa stopped me.
"There is only one door to these four walls, if you don't enter from here, do you need other secret doors?" I walked up to the other three walls and knocked on the walls with my hand, only to find that they were all real stones, and there was no hollow sound at all.
But it may also be that the stone seal the door, which is incomparably thick, and it is impossible to see through it at all, and the induction cannot see through it.
"Hey. Grandpa sighed and said, "This white horse gate is only afraid of fraud." β
"Grandpa, what do you say?" I really can't figure it out, it's obviously just a door, if you don't enter from here, where will Cao Cao's coffin be placed?
"There is an allusion to this White Horse Gate, that is, when Cao Cao was crowned King of Wei, the son Cao Zhi was in a hurry to go outside the city to celebrate, wanting to save time to pass through the White Horse Gate, but was stopped by Cao Cao's old Xun Yu, who was not allowed to live or die, and under the dispute, he went to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was not angry or happy at the time, but said with a smirk: Isn't it just a door, what's the big deal. β
"What happened later?" I asked Grandpa.
Cao Cao reprimanded Cao Zhi in person, and comforted Xun Yu, saying that Cao Zhi was not sensible and asked Xun Yu not to be angry. Grandpa sighed and said, "But later, Cao Cao asked people to demolish the White Horse Gate and forced Xun Yu to death." β
"Ah, is he one of these villains?" I gasped: "Sure enough, it's a traitor in troubled times." β
"Cao Cao had the ambition of being an emperor, but he did not claim the title of emperor because he wore a shackle around his neck. β
"What shackles?"
"Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes. Grandpa sneered and said, " He is in the name of working for the Son of Heaven, going around to conquest, and it is in this name that he has attracted a lot of capable people who are committed to the Han Dynasty, and even many of his old subordinates are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, this Xun Yu is one of them, if he is called the emperor, many people will in turn rebel against him, and come to crusade against him, not to mention the rest, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are waiting for him to give this excuse, what a shrewd person he is, how can he not see this, and he doesn't want to be unsafe, he is also a more pragmatic person, he has the real power of the Son of Heaven, why incur all kinds of trouble for a false nameοΌβ
"That's right. I nodded, then looked at the white horse gate, and asked puzzledly: "Then what does it mean that he made this white horse gate in the tomb?
"Cao Cao is a suspicious person, and he is also a scheming person, I am afraid that this tomb was designed by himself early on, and this door ......" Grandpa also hesitated.
"Whatever, they're all here, they definitely can't go back like this, the organs in front have passed, and the back is naturally not afraid. I simply said, don't hit the south wall and don't look back.
"Not true. Grandpa suddenly spoke, and then said, "There must be an entrance behind these three walls." β
"Secret doors, where is the mechanism?" I scanned the three walls.
"The four-elephant coffin above is the mechanism. Grandpa said with certainty: "Xiaofan, go up and turn the four coffins again, you will definitely be able to open the other three walls." β
"Good. "I walked to the lime, and then jumped lightly, and flew to the upper layer of the secret room, the four coffins were still the same, but when I looked at the white tiger coffin, I found that there was a bloody monster on the side of the coffin.
Yes, it's the bloody corpse......
