Chapter 511: "Ghost Cave" Exploration
Chapter 510 "Ghost Cave" Exploration
When Yi Yang was looking at the many hanging coffins in a daze, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and someone called.
He immediately settled down and took out his mobile phone from his pocket to answer.
The call was from Bai Wenchao on the top of the cliff.
"Brother Yi Yang, you wait, I'll go down immediately!" I only heard Bai Wenchao say anxiously on the phone.
Yi Yang asked, "What are you doing when you come down?" It's okay to wait with Zhu Yeqing and them on it, and I'll go up after finding out the situation. â
Bai Wenchao said: "How can you take risks in that cave alone, if you want to take risks, you have to take risks together!" â
Yi Yang smiled indifferently: "It's not as terrible as you say." â
"I'm going down, you wait for me, don't go into the cave yet." Bai Wenchao said, and then he hung up the phone decisively.
Yi Yang knew that he couldn't stop Bai Wenchao from coming down to explore the cave together, so he had to wait for him to come down at the entrance of the cave.
In less than a few minutes, Bai Wenchao slipped down the cliff that Yi Yang had climbed.
"Brother Yiyang!" When he jumped into the hole, Bai Wenchao shouted happily, "I'm down!" â
"Hmm." Yi Yang turned around and said, "Be careful, the rocks in this underground are a little slippery." â
"It's fine." Bai Wenchao shook his head and said, "Brother Yi Yang, what's the situation in this cave?" â
Saying that, he and Yi Yang took a step forward, and following the light of Yi Yang's flashlight, he swept to the many wooden coffins hanging in the cave at a glance.
"Huh?! How come there are so many coffins?! At first sight, Bai Wenchao's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was horrified.
Yi Yang smiled slightly, and said casually: "Don't be afraid, it's just a hanging coffin." Hanging coffin burial, you should have heard of it, right? â
Bai Wenchao nodded stunned and said, "I've heard of a very ancient way of burial. â
The so-called "hanging coffin burial" is one of the burial styles of ethnic minorities in southern China, which is one of the "cliff burials".
Drill holes in the cliff and nail wooden stakes and place the coffin on it; Or put one end of the coffin in the cliff, and the other end on the stake nailed to the cliff.
People can see the coffin under the cliff, so it is called "hanging coffin".
The cliffs are often steep and dangerous, and there is no way to climb the deep stream.
This custom is prevalent in the southern ethnic minority areas, and the higher the suspension, the more respect is shown for the deceased.
However, not all the coffins of the "hanging coffin" are placed outside the cliff wall, and some are located in the cliff cave, or in the cliff crevice, which cannot be seen by people under the cliff, which is very secret.
At this moment, the hanging coffins that Yi Yang and they saw were placed in the cliff cave, and they could only be seen by climbing into the cliff cave.
"Isn't hanging coffin burial popular among ethnic minorities in ancient times? Why is there such a burial method here in Shudu? Bai Wenchao wondered.
Yi Yang said: "Although this burial method is popular among ethnic minorities, it is not unique to them, and there should be people in the Han nationality who adopt this burial method, but it is rare." Besides, it is not certain that people from ethnic minorities will not be buried here, what was the situation here a long time ago is impossible to study now, and there must be many ethnic minority compatriots living in Shudu now, right? â
"You've got a point." Bai Wenchao nodded solemnly and said, "According to what you say, the matter is reasonable." It turns out that this is a burial cave, no wonder there is a haunted statement. Brother Yi Yang, it's gloomy inside, and he won't ...... There can't really be ghosts and wild ghosts that don't go away, right? â
He shuddered as he whispered this.
"How so?" Yi Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you believe this?" It's just a lie! I think the reason why people outside who don't know about it say that there are ghosts here has something to do with these hanging coffins. But the dead are not terrible at all, only the living are terrible, and they will harm others. â
"Well, yes, it shouldn't be that evil!" Listening to Yi Yang's explanation, Bai Wenchao calmed down a little.
Then he asked, "Is it possible that the bronze sword dug up under the cliff has anything to do with these hanging coffins?" â
"Quite possibly!" Yi Yang nodded vigorously and said, "That bronze sword should be the burial object that fell from the hanging coffin." â
Bai Wenchao said: "According to this, isn't the hanging coffin thousands of years old?" That bronze sword is a cultural relic of the Han Dynasty and even the pre-Qin period! â
Yi Yang replied: "That bronze sword is indeed thousands of years old, but it is difficult to say whether these hanging coffins have been stored for thousands of years. Because there may have been hanging coffins on this cliff wall before, but the age is too old, the sun and rain have gradually decomposed, and the burial goods in the coffin have fallen off the cliff, some have been washed away by the flowing water, and some are still in the soil near zĂ i. â
"Well, that's how it should be." Bai Wenchao nodded in agreement, what Yi Yang said was very reasonable and convincing.
"Xiaochao, let's go in and take a look, since we're here, we have to explore carefully." Yi Yang then greeted.
"Well, let's go." Bai Wenchao nodded without hesitation and agreed, although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but with Yi Yang, he naturally grew a lot bolder.
Either way, it's time to forge ahead.
"Yiyang"
But just as they were about to enter the cave, a shout came from outside.
Yi Yang subconsciously looked back, and when he saw Luo Jianing climbing down the climbing rope, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Miss Luo, why did you come down too?!" Yi Yang asked.
During the questioning, he instinctively took a step forward and hugged Luo Jianing, who jumped over.
Immediately, he reflexively sent the other party to a safe place at the entrance of the cave.
Being hugged tightly by Yi Yang, Luo Jianing's face was red and his breath was short.
After she stood firm, Yi Yang let go of his hand and said with some reproach: "Isn't it good that you are waiting on it?" Why did it come down too? What are you doing down here?! â
He almost didn't dare to imagine that Luo Jianing, a girl who looked weak, had so much courage to come down when she said it, what if she was not careful, what if she fell?
"Why are you talking so loudly?" Luo Jianing pouted, and said with some grievances, "I'll come down to help you, you still lose your temper, it's true." â
Yi Yang said sternly: "Isn't this a joke? How can you come down and help? Didn't you say there were ghosts in this cave? Suddenly not afraid? â
Luo Jianing said seriously: "I was just afraid that you would encounter a ghost and be in danger, so I came down to accompany you, if something happens to you, then what should I do?" I promised the third uncle, no matter what method I use, I must buy your ancient coin. â
Yi Yang smiled bitterly: "For this matter, you can take your life in?" â
"Yes, it's out. Are you afraid? Luo Jianing said.
Yi Yang snorted lightly and said, "What am I afraid of?" You volunteered, and it had nothing to do with me if something happened to you. â
With that, he took out his mobile phone and immediately dialed a number.
This call was naturally made to Zhu Yeqing, who was on the top of the cliff, and he had to talk about it well, lest that little girl be stupid and follow him down to take risks.
Fortunately, Zhu Yeqing was a little timid, she didn't have that plan, she just waited for them to go up on the top of the cliff.
"That'...... What is that?! â
Soon, Luo Jianing also noticed the hanging coffin in the cave, and her face suddenly changed.
Yi Yang smiled: "That's a hanging coffin, so many coffins are hanging there, are you afraid?" â
"Hanging coffin?" Luo Jianing asked.
"You know about hanging coffins, too?" Yi Yang was surprised.
Luo Jianing replied: "Of course, I have seen this kind of hanging coffin, but it is hanging on the cliff wall, how can this be hung in this cave, and there are so many?" â
Yi Yang said: "How do I know? This has to ask the dead body lying in the coffin. â
"You...... Don't scare me, okay?! Luo Jianing chirped, although there seemed to be some annoyance in her words, but she got closer to Yi Yang.
Yi Yang said: "I didn't scare you, we are going to go in to inspect it soon, if you are afraid, I will send you up first." â
"What are you going up there for?" Luo Jianing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Since you come down, you have to go together, I will go up only when you go up!" â
"Alright then, take care of yourself." Yi Yang said helplessly.
After saying that, he walked into the cave.
Bai Wenchao and Luo Jianing followed closely behind.
The moment I walked into the cave, I only smelled a pungent smell rushing towards me, mixed with musty and fishy smells, which was very unpleasant.
When they walked into the cave, Yi Yang and they could see more clearly, the cave here looked very small from the outside, but after walking in, it was very open, there were seven or eight coffins hanging on the roof of the cave, those coffins were still relatively intact, but there were also a few that had fallen on the ground, and the few coffins on the ground had rotted and were damaged.
"Brother Yi Yang, why are these coffins like this?" Bai Wenchao asked.
Luo Jianing also said strangely: "Yes, they are all cylindrical and square, and I don't seem to see the coffin made of wooden planks." â
Yi Yang said: "This is the characteristics of hanging coffins, most of the coffins they use are cylindrical coffins, the coffin body is the same section of the whole wood cut, hollowed out, the mouth of the mother and son is closed, the advantage of this coffin is that it is solid, not easy to breathe, and can keep the body in the coffin for a longer time." In addition to this coffin, some of them are boat coffins, with the head and tail of the coffin upturned up, and the shape is the same as that of the small wooden boats used in the coastal rivers today. â
"I see!" Luo Jianing nodded and said, "I've seen it!" â
She listened to Yi Yang talk about the origin of the hanging coffin burial with relish, and she completely forgot that she was in the most terrifying ghost cave.
While speaking, Yi Yang took Bai Wenchao and the two of them to approach the coffin, shine a flashlight on it, and check it carefully.
"There's some artifacts here."
Yi Yang suddenly saw the pile of rotten wood and bones in the burial goods.
Among them are jade objects, but also some gold, silver and bronze objects.
After seeing it clearly, Yi Yang said happily: "Ordinary people don't bury so thickly, I'm afraid this hanging coffin tomb is not simple!" â
