"The sarcophagus?"

Half an hour later, Chen Zhengqian, who finally climbed to the cliff of this mountain peak, looked at the rock crack in front of him, and there was a sarcophagus quietly placed inside, with a thick layer of dust piled on it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chen Zhengqian was a little interested, and thought it was a big treasure, but he didn't expect it to be just a coffin, and suddenly that momentum disappeared.

Looking at this obviously untouched sarcophagus, he thought again: "But who could it be that buries his mausoleum in such a place?"

This kind of cliff, even if you borrow a complete climbing tool, if you don't have a certain amount of skills, it is difficult to climb this side, let alone in ancient times.

What is the identity of the owner of this sarcophagus?

Chen Zhengqian's heart was itching, and he suddenly wanted to open the sarcophagus to find out, but he was afraid that there was something scary inside. And disturbing the rest of the dead or something, it also made him very entangled.

However, this sarcophagus does not have an identity mark, and it is impossible to understand the identity of the deceased.

According to Chen Zhengqian's knowledge, these rock coffin tombs in the Danxia Mountain area can be roughly divided into three categories.

One is located in the mountains near the village, with tombstones and other imprints, usually the remains of ancient local villagers.

Because this generation was the place of residence of the Baiyue people in ancient times, according to the customs of the Baiyue people, the burial after death should be foolproof to rest assured, to prevent the invasion of wild beasts, and to guard against man-made damage. Therefore, after their death, many of them choose to dig holes in the inaccessible high cliffs to hide their bodies, and this kind of burial system is called "hanging coffin".

This point is recorded in the "Renhua County Chronicle".

The second type is the original temples and scenic spots in the mountains, which are often the tombs of high-ranking monks and practitioners. Because Danxia Mountain is a famous cave blessed land in ancient times, since the pre-Qin period, there have been monks and practitioners who have practiced in the Mixed Yuan Cave and Lion Rock for a generation. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were monks and nuns who went into the mountains to build Buddhist temples, which flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties and declined in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

The other is far away from the people, buried deep in the remote mountains, without any marking characters, which is likely to be the tomb of ancient bandits. Because they have done a lot of bad things in their lives, and they are even more afraid of being crushed and dusted after death, they also choose to be buried on the cliff. These tombs are often accompanied by a lot of gold and silver treasures, and they are also the favorite of tomb robbers.

Chen Zhengqian took out his mobile phone and took a look at Baidu, and found that some people on the Internet said that many old people in Danxia Mountain had heard of the legend of "tomb caves" in the deep mountains in the areas of Dashishan, Danxia Mountain, and Shaoshi Mountain.

And some villagers who have gone into the mountains have also found rotten coffin planks, bones, clay pots, etc. in these mysterious caves that have been accidentally discovered. These lonely villagers often simply make a marker or identify the terrain and leave the mountain after discovering these tombs. If you try to find these tombs after entering the mountain for the second time, there is a chance that you will fail.

With the changes of the times, the folk custom of hanging coffins has gradually faded among the local villagers. In addition, the hot and rainy climate in the Lingnan region has also caused many coffins to be damaged by wind and rain. And the coffins buried in more obvious places have also been destroyed by people throughout the ages. The ones that survive today are all in extremely secret places where people are rare.

Therefore, the "hanging coffin" and "rock coffin" of Danxia Mountain, which are now one of the handful, have gradually become a mystery through the ages.

The question goes back to the beginning, what is the identity of the owner of this sarcophagus?

Chen Zhengqian felt that the biggest possibility was that bandits and bandits buried themselves with the treasures of their lives, so as not to attract the prying eyes of tomb robbers. But if not, he's not sure.

In the end, it was decided to open the sarcophagus to see what was going on. It's a bit immoral to do this, but people have been dead for so many years, and they won't become something unclean to come to themselves.

"Although there is a tendency to disturb the rest of the deceased, it ...... Offended!"

Chen Zheng calmed down, looked at the sarcophagus embedded in the rock, walked over and clamped the sarcophagus with both hands, and then pulled it out, and the sarcophagus was pulled out of the rock by him.

Amitabha Buddha was silently recited in his heart, and then the lid of the coffin was pushed open. Seeing what was inside, Chen Zhengqian was stunned.

"This ......"

Inside is a pair of dead people's dry bones, and the clothes that accompany the burial have weathered into crumbs after the erosion of time.

But this was not the reason for Chen Zhengqian's surprise, he was surprised that the other skeletons of this unknown deceased's body had obviously begun to weather, but the skull was still intact. Even on the skull, there was a faint layer of silvery-white light, mixed with a little gold, faintly a holy atmosphere.

Chen Zhengqian was taken aback by himself, he was obviously a dead man, just a dry bone, how could he have a holy breath?

But if you look closely, it's really amazing.

Could it be that this is a place where Buddhist monks have passed away? Chen Zhengqian fell into deep thought.

He looked inside the sarcophagus to see if there was anything that could prove the identity of the deceased, and found that there were a stream of Buddhist beads scattered on the skeleton on the left hand side of the deceased. He guessed that it was because of the passage of time that the rope had weathered and broke.

Chen Zhengqian picked up the Buddha beads one by one and counted them, a total of eighteen, implying the meaning of the eighteen Arhats of Buddhism.

Interestingly, these beads have gone through such a long period of time, and there are no traces of damage at all, and the small scriptures engraved on them are still faintly visible.

Chen Zhengqian was secretly surprised, put away the eighteen Buddha beads, and took them back to take a serious look, if there was no harm, then they could be strung back together and put on for the mother, she believed in Buddhism.

Other than that, nothing else has been found. But what is certain is that this is indeed the place where a Buddhist monk passed away.

"Sins and sins, no Amitabha Buddha!" Although he didn't believe in Buddhism, he still recited a few words silently.

But what puzzled him the most was why this high monk would put his coffin in such a place, and why did his skull have such a strange phenomenon?

Chen Zhengqian thought, "Could it be that there is really a magical cultivation method in the world?"

Maybe this high monk has been practicing for many years, and then he has cultivated to a certain point, and his body has evolved to a certain extent. Just like the legend, cultivate to the realm of the golden body Arhat, and then condense the relics in your mind, or the bones transform into colorful glass or something.

Of course, whether it is or not, Chen Zhengqian is not sure. At present, he has not met a cultivator like him, and he only knows a little about cultivation, and he has always relied on his own exploration. In other words, it is to let freedom and grow wildly.

This situation often leads to two results, one is to grow crooked, and the other is to go through various hardships and finally grow into a towering tree.

Chen Zhengqian himself is naturally willing to grow into a towering tree, and he doesn't want to crook his neck or something!

Looking back at the sarcophagus, since you have taken someone else's things, it is difficult to move others.

Chen Zhengqian recited "Nan Wu Amitabha" several times again, and then covered the sarcophagus and pushed the sarcophagus back to its original position.

As a result, I couldn't settle down, my strength was a little stronger, and with a "bang", I heard the sound of stones falling, as if something had shattered.

Chen Zhengqian was startled, and hurriedly pulled the sarcophagus out, only to see that the end of the original pit, which was originally sealed, had now collapsed into it, revealing a huge space. However, the light inside was too dim to see what was going on.

In the darkness, a pair of lantern-sized eyes glowing with green light suddenly appeared, meeting Chen Zhengqian's gaze. (To be continued.) )
