Chapter 351: The Treasure at Last
Hell, the gathering place of evil! Whether in modern or ancient times, people have an instinctive fear of hell, and everyone hopes to be able to fly to heaven after death, rather than falling into hell and experiencing all kinds of torture in the eighteen layers of hell.
However, King Gesar went the opposite way and arranged the tomb as a hell, which is not to curse himself to fall into hell after death, and never to be reincarnated. What was his purpose in doing this? Qin Xuebing couldn't figure it out, and everyone present couldn't figure it out either.
A few steps ahead, a boulder with a big head and small feet stopped at the intersection, which was still described in the words of the grassland. Qin Xuebing didn't even need a translator, and blurted out: "Wild wolf, this should be Sansheng Stone." ”
"That's right, it's the Sansheng Stone!" The wild wolf said, according to legend, after Nuwa mended the sky, began to make people out of clay, each person, take a grain of sand as a calculation, two into a huge stone, Nuwa will benefit it to the West Tianling River. This stone because it began at the beginning of heaven and earth, by the essence of the sun and the moon, the spirit gradually passed.
I don't know how many spring and autumn seasons have passed, but I only heard a loud noise in the sky, a stone straight into the sky, top of Tiandong, it seems to have the meaning of breaking the sky. Nuwa looked at it and was shocked, only to see that after absorbing the essence of day and night, this stone was top-heavy, upright, and could reach the sky, and looked fantastic, and actually gave birth to two divine lines, separating the stone from three sections, even though it had the intention of devouring the three worlds of heaven, earth and man.
Nuwa hurriedly cast the spirit talisman and sealed the stone, thinking that after creating a human being, she would lack the reincarnation god of marriage, so she sealed it as a three-life stone, gave it a three-life formula, named its three stages as the previous life, this life, and the next life, and added a marriage line to it, and continued from this life to the next life.
In order to better restrain its demonic nature. Nuwa thought about it again and again, and finally defended it to the Lethe River, and the marriage of the third chief was reincarnated. According to legend, after this stone is erected, the divine power shines on the heavens and the earth, and there is an endless stream of people who kneel and beg for marriage.
"I think I understand King Gesar's purpose!" Qin Xuebing suddenly realized that hell was the place of evil death. But it's also a place of reincarnation. Whether you want to ascend to heaven or be reincarnated, you must go through hell.
That's why. King Gesar would have built the tomb into hell. I'm afraid it's to be reborn with the help of hell reincarnation, or to fly to heaven and become a god and a Buddha.
This explains perfectly. But is there really a past life and an afterlife? The beautiful snake sighed, the past life and the afterlife were too ethereal, but in ancient times, I don't know how many people walked on this road like moths to fire. Even in contemporary times, there are special groups of people who exist in this kind of ethereal fantasy and embark on this path.
Poor people built this tomb back then, who paid with their lives for King Gesar's ethereal fantasies. The pile of bones in the chamber is the best proof of this.
As he was talking, two shadows, one white and one red, appeared in sight and flew towards Qin Xuebing. Qin Xuebing hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug it and rubbed the brains of the two little guys: "What about Xiaolong, nothing happened, right?" The two little foxes stretched out their paws. He pointed ahead, his expression relaxed, which was enough to show that Xiaolong was okay and was rushing back.
A moment later, the little dragon was in sight. To everyone's surprise, Jiaolong also came back with him. The two dragons turned hostility into jade silk and coexisted peacefully.
Xiaolong shrank his size and jumped onto Qin Xuebing's shoulder at once. Qin Xuebing picked up the little guy, and there were still many scars on his body, which showed how fierce the previous battle was.
Jiaolong tilted his head and looked at it for a while. suddenly shrunk in size, and then jumped onto Qin Xuebing's shoulders as well.
"Well, there's one more guy in the house!" Qin Xuebing also picked up the dragon, and under the trend of bad taste, he also learned from Ye Zijing to stretch the little guy and tie it into a bow.
"It's a mother, Xiaolong, this guy kidnapped a wife and came back."
Ouyang Zhanjun came over, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Xiaolong, work hard, get married and have children, and give your children to me to raise in the future." ”…,
Xiaolong suddenly sprayed a mouthful of water on Ouyang Zhanjun's face, and then rolled his eyes, the meaning was obvious, I want to beat my child's idea, watch me play you to death.
Under the snow-capped mountains has returned to calm, Dean Zhong and others finally finished counting the cultural relics, fortunately the packaging is very good, only one piece of porcelain is damaged, but all the parts are still there, as long as you ask a famous person to repair, there is absolutely no trace of damage.
In the face of an avalanche, only one piece of porcelain was damaged, and it was already very lucky. Dean Zhong said: "Hurry up and reload the car, stay away from this place, maybe there will be an avalanche." ”
Dean Zhong's words made everyone's faces change, this possibility is not non-existent, after all, no one knows what dangers there are in the underground world, and no one is sure whether Qin Xuebing will bombard them with shells.
The convoy reacted very quickly and immediately reloaded all the artifacts and moved away from here to a relatively safe place.
"Wolf, where is the exit?" Qin Xuebing asked, the wild wolf originally used this place as an escape route, and he must have some information.
"Inside the burial chamber. According to the information we have gathered, the burial chamber should be near here. After saying this, the wolf went out and led the people to look for the tomb.
Qin Xuebing pretended to look for it on the side, and after a while, he said, "You see, this stone slab is relatively smooth, as if it has been polished manually. ”
"That's right, it looks like we've found it!" The beautiful snake laughed, after going through so many dangers, she finally found the real tomb, and the sense of accomplishment in her heart can be imagined.
"What's in there, piles of artifacts?" Ye Zijing also showed a smile on her face, she found it, and it should be over! She really wanted to end this treasure hunt, especially when Qin Xuebing was in the realm of enlightenment, she was extremely worried that she would not be able to withstand the attack of the ugly ghost group.
"There is no doubt that King Gesar will be stingy with himself?" Qin Xiaoxiao chuckled, there are so many gold, silver, jewelry, and various cultural relics in the fake tomb, the real tomb will definitely be more luxurious than the fake tomb, otherwise King Gesar will lose a lot.
"I hope it's not just another pile of gold and silver jewelry!" Ouyang Xiaomei is also not interested in washing things, a bunch of gold and silver jewelry is not as attractive as a piece of porcelain.
"Little Dragon, push the door open!" After Qin Xuebing sensed it, he made sure that there was no mechanism, so he lifted the little guy off his shoulder. The little one gets bigger and pushes the door open with ease. There was silence all around, not even the sound of the air moving.
"Let's go in later!" Qin Xuebing sighed, he could be sure that this was a sealed space, and if he walked in rashly, he was afraid that he would suffocate to death. Qin Xuebing stood outside the gate and pointed the strong flashlight inside, and the situation inside made people shudder.
It's a huge space. Judging from the decoration style, it should be a yamen hall with a plaque hanging on it, on which are written the words "tongue pulling hell". The tables and chairs under the plaque are entirely referencing the ancient hellscape. There were also pen and ink, shocking wood, and various torture instruments on the table.
If this were the case, people wouldn't have felt it at all, and they wouldn't have been intimidated by such a setup. After all, those who can participate in this treasure hunt are brave people, and most of them have experienced the baptism of death.
What really makes everyone feel terrifying is that there are people in it, there are judges to judge, and black and white impermanence escorts the dead spirits, and there are imps executing.
Everyone knows in their hearts that these are left behind through the magnetic field, just like Huangquan Road, there are also all kinds of women appearing. What is really frightening is the punishment here.
Legend has it that when people are alive, if they sow discord, slander others, flamboyant tongues, and argue with each other. If you lie and deceive people, you will be sent to hell when you die. The imp broke open the person's mouth, clamped the tongue with iron tongs, and plucked it out raw. Instead of pulling it out at once, it is elongated and dragged slowly. Until the tongue is detached, it is extremely cruel. …,
The images left here are the very ones that inflict this brutal punishment. The people fantasized about imagining themselves as tortured dead spirits, and the feeling was really worse than death.
"Donkey Day!" Scar scolded resentfully, he had already tried this taste in the illusion, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but shudder, afraid to do it again.
"People back then ......," Qin Xuebing sighed. The reason why the image can be left here is not only to show that there are people from Qimen involved, but also to show another thing, that is, these things have really happened. Back then, there were people who played judges, black and white impermanence and imps to torture the living by pulling out their tongues.
"Vicious enough!"
The beautiful snake sighed: "According to legend, there are eighteen layers of hell, which are arranged according to the length of time they have suffered and the severity of their crimes, and each layer of hell is twenty times more painful than the previous one. There has already been such torture in the hell of tongue pulling, but what about the aftermath? ”
The beautiful snake is not what they have to face, but what the old people have endured. For a person's ethereal fantasies, I don't know how many people have suffered all kinds of suffering, and life is better than death.
"Let's go, let's go inside!" Qin Xuebing sighed, took the lead in stepping into the hell of pulling out his tongue, and left through the passage on the other side, not nostalgic for the antiques here. Or rather, this environment has ruined his interest in appreciating antiques.
Everyone has no nostalgia, this environment is too bad and bad, so people don't want to stay for a moment. Their impression of this place is terrible. It is not denied that there is a lot left here that can give people a deeper understanding of ancient culture. But what they feel here is more of savagery, violence, and contempt for life.
It makes them sick here! Now they just want to walk through this place to make sure this is the real tomb, and then find another way out of this hellish place.
Walking through the passageway, the layout here is not much different from the tongue-pulling hell, with the words "Scissors Hell" written on the plaque, and a group of imps performing scissor torture.
Legend has it that in the yang world, if a woman's husband dies prematurely, she will be widowed, and if you instigate her to remarry or match her up, then after death she will be sent to hell with ten fingers at the tip. For example, just like the Wang Po in "Water Margin", Pan Jian Lian had no intention of seducing Ximen Qing, but Wang Po instigated her to curry favor with Ximen officials and gave her poison to poison Wu Dalang. Not to mention what happened to Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing after going to hell, just talking about this princess, she definitely has a share of the scissors hell.
The existence of Scissors Hell fully shows the characteristics of the times, in ancient times, women had no status at all, and even remarriage was a mistake. If it were placed in modern times, it would be possible to vote that the majority of women would definitely demand the removal of scissors hell, otherwise it would be sexist.
At this time, the little ghost is cutting off the fingers of the necromancer one by one, which is extremely cruel. What's more, this is what really happened back then.
"It's so savage!" Ouyang Xiaomei was a little sick to her stomach, if someone dared to do such a thing now, she would definitely take out her gun and shoot the bullet into the other party's head.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see!" Qin Xuebing sighed, and everyone continued to walk back, following the passage into the next layer of hell.
There is also a plaque on the third level of hell. The words "Iron Tree Hell" were written on it, and this kind of punishment made Ouyang Xiaomei spit it out directly.
According to legend, anyone who separates his flesh and blood while alive and instigates discord between father and son, brother, sister, and husband and wife will enter the Iron Tree Hell after death. The upper session of the tree is a sharp blade, and the person who comes to the back of the skin picks it in, and falls on the iron tree.
There is an iron tree in the world. But there is no such thing as hell, so the ancients came up with a trick and used a steel knife to make a strange-shaped iron tree. This Iron Tree is now in the corner of the Iron Tree Hell.
on the image. The imp lifted the person to the iron tree and crushed it down, breaking the human body into dozens of pieces. is extremely cruel, no wonder Ouyang Xiaomei can't help but spit it out. …,
"Ignoring life, but giving this body the least respect!" Ye Zijing sighed while comforting Ouyang Xiaomei, and used her body to block Ouyang Xiaomei's sight, preventing the little girl from seeing those pictures again.
"Don't you think there's something strange here?" Scar voiced his doubts, he first went to the Yama Hall in the environment, and was judged by Lord Yama, and then he was sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, where he was tortured. But there is no Yama Hall here. Did King Gesar forget?
It is absolutely impossible, and it takes countless manpower and material resources to build such a tomb, and I am afraid that some small details will be forgotten, but such an important part will never be forgotten.
"Maybe it's inside!" Qin Xuebing shook his head slightly, he didn't care about these at all. Just want to find the burial chamber and get out of this hellish place. As for studying and understanding the history and culture of this ghost place, he has no interest in it at all.
With a sigh, the treasure hunt continued on, walking through hell after hell and seeing one torture after another. In steamer hell. They saw people being sent into steamers and steamed alive; In the Bronze Pillar Hell, they saw and then the imp holding the necromantic and holding the fiery copper pillar; In the oil pot hell, they saw the living being sent into the oil pot to be fried...... The torture is horrifying, but it is also disgusting.
Finally they came to the sixteenth layer of hell, the volcanic hell! According to legend, those who damage the public and private interests, give and accept bribes, steal chickens and dogs, rob money, and set fire to the fire will be sent to the volcanic hell after death. In addition, monks and Taoist priests who break the vows also enter the volcanic hell.
If volcanic hell does exist, it is conceivable that it is definitely the best hell for business. How many damage the public and private interests? How much bribes are given? These people alone are enough to keep this hell busy.
Speculation is not enough, and the robbers of money are even more numerous, and I am afraid that a large number of people can be accepted every day. As for the monks and Taoist priests who break the precepts, it can be said unceremoniously that there are as many monks and Taoist priests as there are in this world, and how many people will be accepted by Volcano Hell.
Volcanic hell is indeed terrifying, there is a deep pit dug here, and people can't climb up if they fall down. The imp drove death down, then poured oil on it and lit it, and burned him alive.
Everyone sighed and shook their heads, and walked towards the seventeenth layer of hell, the stone grinding hell! According to legend, people who waste grains, thieves, corrupt officials, and ordinary people will be beaten into graphite hell. Here, Qin Xuebing and the others watched as the so-called dead spirits were crushed with graphite and ground into meat sauce.
"It's finally over!" Sighing, everyone walked into the last layer of hell, the hell of the knife saw. According to legend, those who cut corners, deceived superiors and subordinates, abducted women and children, and bought and sold unfairly will be sent to the hell of knives and saws after death.
Here, the imp strips the necromantic clothes and ties them to four wooden stakes in a large pattern, starting from the crotch to the head, and saws them to death.
Eighteen layers of hell, eighteen kinds of torture, eighteen kinds of nightmares! When everyone walked out of the eighteen layers of hell, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they didn't have to look at these disgusting things anymore.
Outside, the convoy was far away, and even an avalanche ten times larger would not pose a threat. But Dean Zhong did not let people stop, and directly asked the convoy to rush to the military region airport, wanting to transport these cultural relics back to Beijing directly.
Dean Zhong's abacus is very fine, as long as the things are transported back to Beijing, there is no reason to transport them to the prairie, and then the collection here can smoothly enter the Forbidden City and enrich the collection of the Forbidden City. And even with it, the collection of the real tomb has to be transported to the capital, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
It's just that Dean Zhong is shrewd, and others are not stupid, the convoy was stopped before it went far, and the agency personnel of the prairie would not let these things out of the prairie no matter what. Their idea was simple: build a museum on site and further develop tourism.
The two sides had different opinions, so they began to argue again, and they continued to talk at length. It's just that the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and no one can convince anyone.
"Dean Zhong, let's not be in a hurry to talk about this matter first, at least we have to wait until the entire treasure is fully developed, and then we will talk about it in detail!"
After pulling for a while, Dean Zhong failed to succeed, so he could only stay and continue to pull. However, the prairie is not wrong in this regard, and it is necessary to wait for Qin Xuebing to dig out the complete treasure and conduct an in-depth evaluation of the entire treasure before finally deciding where the treasure will land.
Qin Xuebing: Did they find the treasure? The light shone through, and in front of them was a huge palace with a plaque hanging on it, on which were written three words: Hades Palace.
Hades, the lord of hell, is equivalent to the emperor of the world, the chief of life and death and the six realms of reincarnation! Qin Xuebing glanced at it and laughed: "Sure enough, the Hades Hall is behind the eighteenth layer of hell, but I don't know what mysteries there will be in this Hades Palace." ”
"If the information we've gathered in this vein is correct, this is the burial chamber!" The wolf said suddenly.
