450. Li Mu
Zhuge Yinglong is actually a very smart person, because he can always inadvertently get the truth of things through reasoning, but after this kid gets it, he will give up because he is not sure.
The Hundred Schools Altar is a secret base built by the Six Nations in order to rebel, and this sentence is simply appropriate to sum up this place, because this is its ostensible intention.
There was nothing in the six bronze tripods, only a thick layer of ash, proving that it had been used by people before.
"Altar, altar, I know, this tower, shouldn't it be a mourning hall......" Zhuge Yinglong thought for a moment and said.
At that time, people valued rules and etiquette, and the things handed down by the ancestors could not be lost, and everything was based on the ancestors, so for the dead, the procedures for mourning were much more complicated than those of people now.
Li Zimu bypassed this row of bronze tripods and walked straight towards the black tower in front of him.
It is said to be a high tower, but in fact, the height is only a dozen meters high, which is much lower than those towers outside, mainly because this cave is so high, so the highest can only be like this.
The stone pedestal was almost a meter high, and Li Zimu stepped on the stone steps with his feet, and after just a few steps, he arrived in front of the tower.
"Why is this tower four-storey?" Zhuge Yinglong looked up at the tower in front of him and said suspiciously, this tower is also a specification that the bottom is larger and smaller the above.
The reason why he says that there are four floors is because there are four small arches in one column, so it is a four-story tower.
But this is what makes him curious, because as far as he knows, towers are generally 1357 odd-numbered floors, and there are basically no double-numbered towers.
"Single Yang and Yin, this is a Yin Tower" Li Zimu looked at the tower and said softly, the towers in Huaxia are all singular towers, and there are basically no even towers.
And when the ancient Indian tower culture was first introduced into China, there were double-layer towers, although most of the towers are also singular layers, but there are also a very small number of towers are double-layered, double-story towers, is the Yin tower.
The building of the tower was originally transmitted from India, and Huaxia has made slight modifications on this basis, and the tower in front of it should be said to be a combination of India and China.
The double layer is a very small number of yin pagodas, which are not dedicated to Buddhas, but ghosts. And each floor has six small doors, which is the number of arches of most of the towers of Huaxia Tower, symbolizing the six paths.
There are also four gates, which symbolize the Four Noble Truths, the eight gates are the path of the eight phases, and the twelve gates represent the twelve karmas, and there are rules for how many doors to open.
Zhuge Yinglong guessed correctly again, this tower is used as a mourning hall, and the offerings in it are all dead people.
"Squeaky ......"
Li Zimu gently pushed open the tower door in front of him, the friction between the woods produced a sharp and piercing sound, the tower door was small, only the width for two people to pass side by side.
A cool air came to his face, blowing like cold air that made Zhuge Yinglong's cold hair stand up, and the thick cotton jacket seemed to be unable to resist the cold air, blowing his goosebumps.
Yin and yang, although they cannot be seen and touched, can give people a very intuitive feeling, the sun under the feeling of warmth, this is yang, the cemetery mourning is prevalent, this is yin.
This itself actually has little to do with the surrounding temperature, go to the tomb in the daytime, you will also feel the presence of yin, in the cold and windy room, as long as it is often occupied, you can feel a little angry, that is, yang.
The deceased is big, and his mouth is as broken as Zhuge Yinglong, and he doesn't dare to speak loudly at this time, for fear of disturbing the soul resting here.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of ash, and the air currents formed by the door being pushed open raged in the small tower, and a damp and cold breath swept into the air.
Li Zimu is a little glad that his divine sense can't be used here, and if he can, he may not see some strange things.
Turning his head to look at Pudding on the side, the latter also shook his head, this barrier is a bit strange, not only the divine sense can't be used, even the demon sense can't work, Pudding is now the same as him, he can only see things that can be seen with the naked eye.
It's very dark inside, you can't see the black of your fingers, Li Zimu simply took out the eye of heaven in the backpack, this thing still shines brightly, and it can't be more suitable for use as an electric light at this time.
Everywhere you look, it's all white silk.
The white silk strips tied to the beams hung down one by one and hung in the air, adding a lot of weird atmosphere to this small space.
Although the mourning dress system was officially established during the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as early as the Warring States Period, there was already the custom of wearing filial piety, and Li Zimu, as a person at that time, naturally had the right to speak.
At that time, there was no such thing as cotton cloth, the nobles wore silk fabrics, and the common people wore coarse linen clothes.
White has always represented holiness, when the head of the family dies, the nobles will wear white silk clothes, the common people can't afford to buy a whole set, it's no problem to buy a little.
Generally on the sleeve and on the head, to show respect for the deceased, white silk, has always been linked to the word death, the ancient emperor gave you a three-foot white silk, that is, you want to commit suicide by yourself.
The white silk in the room swayed slightly with the airflow of the open door, and it really had this kind of instant sense of making ghost movies.
On the platform piled up with stones, there are spiritual tablets one by one, with not many words written on them, the names of the people on the front, and the eight characters of birth and the date of death are generally engraved on the back.
Now cremation will appear in such a thing, most of the burials in the past, so writing a spiritual position card means that it is equivalent to looking at the sign to remember the ancestors, and there is no need to go to the cemetery.
There is no long incense, but there are traces of candles, and the funeral at that time was complicated, and the complicated thing was not that there were too many objects, but just a variety of rituals.
"Li Mu, is this first one so famous......
Zhuge Yinglong looked at the spiritual position card in front of him and muttered softly, this is Zhao Guo's text, but he can mostly understand a little bit, Li Mu's two words, he can still understand it.
I didn't expect this first spirit card to be so big.
The good general died, and Zhao Yi died, and he hated Feng Tang for a hundred years. At that time, he was not slandered by the ministers, so why did Lu Zheng return to his hometown.
This poem is really appropriate to summarize the exploits of this general.
Gu Zhi is a general, the scriptures are martial, and the courage is complete. The opportunity to save time, to observe the importance of geography, to conform to the people's feelings, and to understand the situation of safety and danger. All the gains and losses of ancient and modern times, the careful changes of formations, the reality of soldiers, and the clumsiness, all of them are insightful.
The leader is this Li Mu.
