Chapter 231: The Flower Coffin on the Other Side (5)
Walking around the protruding stone platform, I didn't find any additional exits or hidden passages on the rock wall, is it wrong to choose this road? Only the flower road has an exit, I can't help but be a little suspicious, but now I don't have a choice, and it's impossible to go back.
Hopes of finding an exit to the rock face were shattered, and I turned my attention to the hanging coffin in the air. Since ancient times, it has been said that coffins must not fall to the ground, and coffins are generally erected, and the four feet of the coffin must be cushioned with a bowl filled with water. What I am afraid of is that the corpse in the coffin absorbs the earth's qi, causing the corpse to change and bringing disaster to the family and neighbors. However, these are all things that need to be paid attention to before the coffin is put into the earth, after all, most Chinese are still very particular about a person who enters the earth for peace, thinking that this can allow the soul of the deceased to rest in peace.
But there are also some ethnic minority areas that are not like this, they pay attention to hanging coffin burials, but compared with the hanging coffin in front of me, it is still a lot different. At present, the known hanging burial areas are mostly in the Wuyishan area of Fujian Province and the counties of Juexian, Xingwen, Yunlian, Zhenxiong, Zhaotong and other counties on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan. Their coffins were all supported by stakes nailed to the rock face of a particular cliff, suspended in mid-air, and some would be placed directly in the crevices of the cliffs or in caves. Sometimes because of the angle and distance, people can't see the stakes under the coffin, but can only see the hanging coffin hanging in the night from a distance, and under the blowing of the night wind, it seems to be telling some unspeakable song.
But I have never seen such a coffin supported by iron chains, hanging in the middle of a stone cave in the air, let alone seeing it. I haven't even heard of it. It was a big eye-opener to see this spectacle this time. His hand rested on a chain beside him. I pulled hard, and found that the chains were all made of fine iron. After so many years, there has not been a single sign of rust, and it still looks dark and shiny, and it should be no problem to bear a man's weight.
Sanzang crawled there and poked his head out to look at me, and saw that I had been hovering near the chain, and asked aloud, "Brother Shuzi, is there anything on the chain?" Is there a secret passage down there that I can get out? โ
"I haven't found the secret passage yet, I want to go there and have a look!" I pointed to the hanging coffin in the center and looked up at Sanzang and said.
"It's too dangerous! Forget it. Let's try to see if we can bend back and find our way back! Just these iron chains, how are you going to get there, what if they break? Sanzang looked at the hanging coffin, felt that it was too dangerous, and tried to persuade me to give up.
"It's okay, this chain is very strong, I'll climb a little way to try it first, and then I will go back!"
"Don't. Wait a minute! Seeing that he couldn't stop me, Sanzang pulled up the rope and rowed down the rock wall.
"What are you doing down here? In case the rock holding the rope on it breaks in a moment, who will pull us up! โ
"What are you afraid of. If you only go up alone, the rope will definitely hold up, and then you can pull me up again! No matter how bad it is. Dig a hole in this rock wall, and it's all rock climbing. Anyway, it's just over two meters tall. Sanzang waved his hand indifferently.
I looked at him helplessly, "You don't want to go with me, do you?" The chains won't be able to withstand the weight of both of us! โ
"I'm not going." Sanzang pulled out a rope from his own bag. Without saying a word, he tied one end of the rope directly to my waist, and the other end was tied to my waist, wrapped it around my arm a few times, and finally grabbed it tightly in my hand, and then raised my chin at me, "Go, it's safer this way, and I can hold you if you fall." โ
Stretched out his hand and pulled the rope around his waist, making sure that it would not affect his movements, he raised his head and nodded to Sanzang, "Then you look at the point and grab something, it's really going to fall, I'm afraid you didn't hold me, but dragged yourself down!" โ
After saying that, he turned his head directly, grabbed the chain, stabilized his body, tried to maintain his balance, knelt on the chain with his knees crossed, and moved it up little by little, without giving Sanzang a chance to refute.
"Hey!" Sanzang originally blurted out the words, but seeing that I had been put on the chain, I held back my stomach, and I was afraid that it would affect me, so I could only breathe a long sigh here. Turn around and look for something near the rock wall that you can grab, lest something really happen for a while, and I will really tell you that I will drag you down.
The chains were tight, but they weren't like planks that wouldn't bend, and their variability made it even more difficult for me to get through this section. The more I got away from the rock wall, the more I could feel the chains pressing down with my body, and it became more difficult to keep my balance. The right hand pressed down, tightly grasped the chain, and the left hand followed, but unfortunately did not grasp the amplitude of the chain down, so that the strength to go out failed, and the whole person leaned to the left, and the two legs had left the chain and fell straight down.
"Brother Shuzi, be careful!" Seeing this scene, Sanzang pulled the rope tightly with one hand, and held a stone cone he had just discovered with the other, and his heart suddenly stopped.
"Huh~Huh~" gasped twice, and his whole body hung in the air leisurely, leaning on only one right hand to hold the chain.
Seeing that it was a false alarm, Sanzang exhaled deeply, wanting to pat his little heart, only to find that his hands were empty, so he could only raise his shoulders and head over to wipe the sweat from the corners of his forehead.
The green tendons on the right arm burst out, the muscles bulged one by one, the body swayed back and forth twice, and then the force of the upward rush, the left hand "clicked", grabbed the chain, and suddenly relaxed a lot. It's the same method, swing back and forth twice, raise your right leg high, and hook the chain with your inner knee and ankle at once, and keep up with your left leg. The whole person climbed the chain and hung upside down in mid-air, and at this time he had only walked half the distance, and looked up at the rest of the road, the chain shook even more, and it didn't work with the previous method. After thinking about it, he used this posture with all his limbs at the same time to slide directly towards the central hanging coffin. I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly smooth, and the speed was a lot faster, but it was a big test of the strength of the limbs and waist, but fortunately, I usually exercised all the time. The palms and knees were sharpened by the chains, and they could only hold back, not daring to loosen a little. The head can only be stalked hard, so as not to hang upside down in the air all the time, and I faintly feel that there is some brain congestion, and there is a pain in the back of the neck.
