Chapter 47: The Altar
I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, the two dried corpses were solved like this, no wonder we hit it so many times to no avail, it turned out that this dried corpse can make people have visual dislocation, and in an instant my worship of cold wood increased a few points, maybe he couldn't stand my hot eyes, and walked away directly.
The big black fat carried me on his back and followed closely, and as soon as I reached the entrance of the cave, I immediately screamed: "Ah! ”
The crowd stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
I touched the big bag on my head and said to the big black fat: "Uncle Dahei, you better put me down." ”
He suddenly looked up, "Ah! "I was thrust my head against the wall again.
The big black fat didn't seem to fully react, Han Ye had already held him down, "Don't move!" If you knock it again, you'll be stupid! ”
I slipped off Big Black's fat back, "Uncle Big Black, I'll go by myself." ”
"Are you sure you can do it?" My dad asked uncomfortably.
I nodded, "It's okay, it's bloodless now." ”
Then followed them in, a gust of cold wind blew in the face, we took their respective flashlights and roughly shone around, if the passage just now is the intestines of the giant, then the place where we are now staying is the torso of the giant, this place can no longer be described as empty, at least it can be regarded as vast, take a rough look, it should be no problem to drive around in it, all around are stone piers and large pillars, carved with dragon patterns, two rows are giant beast mounds, all with hideous faces, thousands of postures, In the middle of this there is an oval rockery, which is supposed to be the location of the heart.
I was almost stunned and exclaimed, "I didn't think there was such a huge natural cave here." ”
Han Ye nodded approvingly: "Look at the scale, if this place is not buried too much, at least it will be the emperor." ”
Suddenly, Lu Laojiu shouted behind us: "Hey! You see, there's a sacrificial altar here! ”
When the fat uncle heard this, he took the miner's lamp and shone it in the back, my heart immediately tightened, this altar is about four meters high, oval-shaped, I only saw three giant statues on it, about four or five meters high, but there was no head, it looked very strange in this huge black cave.
"How can there be a headless statue here?"
Lu Laojiu retorted to me: "I don't even have a head, how do you know it's a god statue." ”
"Please, the shape of this tomb is Chiyou, can't the statue of the god be Xingtian!" I was not convinced.
"Have you heard that Xingtian still has two brothers?"
"You ......"
The fat uncle interrupted our argument: "Give me a moment to stop!" ”
Han Ye stared at the idols and said, "Look at these idols, they are all wearing armor and holding swords in their hands, could they be gods of war or kings?" ”
Lu Laojiu heard this, but he didn't think so, and pointed to the steps in the middle of the sacrificial platform and said, "Why don't we go up and take a walk?" ”
"Hey! Watch out for the traps! I reminded.
"Don't worry, there won't be any mechanism on the ordinary altar, aren't they afraid of blasphemy!"
To be honest, I really don't think it's a god of justice, if it is, it's probably an evil god, and my hunch tells me that I can't expect to meet anything good when I go up, and this feeling is very strong.
Several of them went up the stairs one after another, I looked back at Leng Mu, he also walked over, I didn't dare to stay down alone, and hurriedly followed.
I had just climbed a step and had not yet landed on my hind feet when I heard my dad suddenly yelling at me, "Who told you to come up!" ”
Dad's anger was a little sudden, I was startled by him, I almost didn't look up, and whispered aggrievedly: "I don't dare to stay down alone." ”
"Isn't it just an old curse? **As for you! What age is it! Still so superstitious! Weiwei, come up! The fat uncle stood up and waved at me.
"These curses don't come for nothing! This altar is so high, what if something really happens! ”
Lu Laojiu shook his head and said: "Don't worry, if there is no her, she will always be down there, and when we come down, maybe she will be taken away by some dirty thing!" Horizontal and vertical are all dead, let her come up! ”
I saw that my father's expression had improved slightly, and I asked as I walked up the steps: "Lu Laojiu, what kind of curse?" ”
"It's unlucky for a woman to go to the altar."
Looking at the three headless gods, my heart trembled, my feet suddenly stiffened on the steps, I didn't go up, I didn't dare to go down, the fat uncle saw my hesitation, "What are you doing in a daze!" Don't hurry up yet! ”
The more I go up, the clearer I see, there are six porcelain vases on the sacrificial platform, the workmanship is very exquisite, the upper part is piled with pavilions, beauties, livestock, granaries, much larger than the general porcelain vases, very orderly arranged there, I admire in my heart, in the end, it is ancient, even a porcelain vase is so exquisite.
The stone table was full of skeletons, as well as a few ordinary bottles, which were covered with charms, those jade plates, which were lifted in all directions, and the estimated value of the jade had been picked up by Lu Laojiu, and there was a huge bronze tripod in the middle, which was full of skeletons, with three swords inserted on it, and of course the sword spike was also dragged away by Lu Laojiu.
Lu Laojiu squatted in front of the porcelain vase and asked, "What are these six porcelain vases?" Look at this carving, is it worth it? ”
The fat uncle looked at it and said, "It should be a green glazed soul bottle." ”
"Soul bottle?" I chuckled in my heart, it wasn't a good thing to hear the name, and tried to keep a little distance from the bottles.
Han Ye explained: "It is a kind of artifact, a superstition of those idealistic ideas in ancient times, that people will enter the underworld after death, just like this soul bottle, symbolizing the status of the deceased during his lifetime. ”
The fat uncle saw Han Ye talk at length, but instead of explaining it clearly, he scared Lu Laojiu and me enough, and said impatiently: "It's just a bag of ashes!" ”
"Oh." Lu Laojiu and I suddenly realized, "You can't let go of a fart directly, and you will make a big push for long-windedness, which will make Lao Tzu confused!" ”
Han Ye didn't care about Lu Laojiu, and looked at the soul bottle carefully, "This ancient tomb should be close to the Han Dynasty." He took a flashlight and shone it on the soul bottle, "You see, the soul bottle in the Warring States and Han Dynasty periods is generally larger, and most of them are flat-bottomed, the glaze is more transparent, and the Warring States period is mostly carved with birds and beasts, and most of the glass texture is stronger in the Song Dynasty, and the contrast in appearance will be obvious." ”
The fat uncle sighed: "Looking at the porcelain vase is also a good thing, if you want me to say that the ancients just don't know how to enjoy, and some good things have to be buried!" ”
Han Ye came back to his senses as if he remembered something, "Hey! What is the saying of putting ashes on the altar? Isn't it a sacrifice for the dead? ”
This question really stopped people, "Just look at the skeleton on the altar, there should be a human sacrifice here." Uncle Fat analyzed: "Human sacrifices are generally captives, low-status women, and children, and the pile of this soul bottle can be seen at a glance to be a noble person, and it is said that it is impossible to be placed on the sacrificial platform." ”
"Could it be that they will pay tribute to some honorable people as a sign of sincerity?"
