Chapter 212: Below the Zhou Tomb is the Tang Tomb
The two of them ran very violently, and Chen Dong was even more desperate, with a red face and a thick neck, a big mouth, and his tongue was almost stretched out, and he couldn't wait to open a few more legs.
You Yang glanced at him in surprise from behind, Brother Dong was big and timid, this Nima, as if he was being chased and killed, ran too fiercely.
Ten minutes later.
Chen Dong's legs were weak, and he didn't know what he was tripping on the soles of his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground.
You Yang chased after him unhurriedly, watching Chen Dong fall, it was really miserable, only to hear Chen Dong groan, and then screamed.
You Yang couldn't help but laugh, then helped Chen Dong up and asked; "Brother Dong, are you okay, why are you running so fast, the big cockroach behind has long been gone."
"You didn't say it sooner!" Chen Dong complained, and then used You Yang's flashlight to shine a light on the surrounding situation.
Seeing this, Chen Dong couldn't help but be surprised and exclaimed; "You Yang, let's go back to where we are,, great! You see, it's the secret passage we came down from the apse tomb, oops, it's so happy! β
You Yang glanced at it, and indeed returned to his original place, but he had no intention of leaving, but took out a fire fold and threw it down, the fire rolled down for a while, and then fell to the bottom again.
"Brother Dong, I want to go down and take a look, this time I have a way not to go the wrong way." You Yang said.
"Damn, don't you want to die! We don't know what's down there, so I think we'd better go! "Chen Dong is really scared, this ancient tomb is too evil, which makes him a little timid.
"If you want to go, let's go! There's still a lot I haven't figured out, and I want to go down and check it out! You Yang said, shook out a silver needle, shot to the bottom of the cave, and then released the vitality in his body, using the silver needle as a punctuation, in this way, the vitality he released became a traction line, and no matter how he walked, he would not go wrong.
Chen Dong glanced at the secret door from behind, then at You Yang's back, tangled for a moment, gritted his teeth and scolded; "You Yang, I'll grass your ancestor! Paralyzed, Brother Dong is out today! As long as you can leave alive, you remember, you owe me a favor, paralyzed, and I will never come to this kind of place next time I am killed! β
You Yang smiled and nodded, in the end, Chen Dong did not choose to leave when he was alone after all, which made You Yang very moved!
Immediately, You Yang crawled in the cave with Chen Dong under the induction of the silver needle.
"Damn, we are unlucky today and we are unlucky in this dark passage, I thought that with a master like you as a companion, it must be foolproof, how could I have thought that such a dark passage has many ghosts, it is too damn big, if you can go out this time, you must have a long memory, and you can't be so reckless anymore."
Chen Dong was crawling behind, and he was crooked, complaining all over his stomach, but the crawling speed was not slow, for fear that if he blinked, he would make a mistake with You Yang.
When You Yang heard this, he laughed; "Brother Dong, I didn't expect to climb a dark passage this time, and I can still give you a memory! However, your fiery temper really needs to change! Isn't it, all of you people in southern Xinjiang are like this? β
"Almost, the people of southern Xinjiang are bold!" Chen Dong said.
"That feeling, the temper of the people in your village is quite individual!" After You Yang finished speaking, he continued; "Let's go down later, you must be careful, you have a big temper, don't be impulsive when you do something! This ancient tomb is extremely dangerous, there are many unimaginable things, and almost every place may be dangerous, so let's be cautious! β
"Understood! Say anything this time, and you won't run around! Chen Dong said.
You Yang didn't speak, the two continued to climb for a while, and then, You Yang shouted in front; "Brother Dong, it's time to pass through the cave here."
Chen Dong heard the sound of dripping water in his ears, and hurriedly crawled forward with You Yang.
When the two of them got out of the dark passage, they swept it with a flashlight, and found that this was a narrow cave in the mountain, not a cave, and the sound of water droplets came from a distance along the cave, and it seemed that that that there was the place they were going.
Chen Dong pointed in the direction of the sound of water droplets and said; "You Yang, listen, is there a big cave over there? There are a total of seven Star Mountains in these Seven Star Mountains, even if the underground is hollowed out, there should be no terrain like a cave! What's going on? β
You Yang said; "Outside this Qixing Mountain is Weinan Lake, and there may be a dark river under the mountain range! It is not surprising that Qixing Mountain has been washed by the dark river for a long time, forming a karst cave. β
"Then it doesn't matter, isn't this cave still drilled to the end, I think we should go first and explore, if there is really no way out, return the same way!" Chen Dong said.
"Hmm!"
You Yang nodded, and walked towards the depths of the cave with Chen Dong, this time You Yang kept an eye on it, and kept observing the surrounding situation, for fear that he would take the wrong fork in the road again and lose his way.
However, before leaving, You Yang took out the mask prepared in advance from his bag and said; "Brother Dong, the cave in front is connected to the leaky area in the mountain, and there seems to be a cave in the distance, so the air quality is not a problem, but this last section of the cave is connected to the apse of the ancient tomb, and I estimate that the air quality inside is definitely not good, so wear a mask and be prepared."
Chen Dong took the mask, put it on, and then entered the cave with You Yang.
This cave is extremely short, and after climbing more than 50 meters forward, it turns upwards and more than 10 meters, and what catches the eyes of the two is a wall made of blue bricks.
This blue brick Chen Dong has seen from the book, it is from the Tang Dynasty.
Generally, the green bricks of the Tang tomb have three or four thick palms, and they are all tomb bricks with a bottom and can be opened with a shovel and an iron drill.
You Yang and Chen Dong glanced at the end of the cave, but they didn't expect it to be a Hades Temple.
"You Yang, what's going on, why is there a Tang tomb here!"
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment and continued; "I have seen this kind of tomb bricks, only during the Tang Dynasty, and this kind of green bricks are only paved in the underground of the Hades Temple, and the rest of the ground and four walls are all large stones fixed with iron bars, and the cracks are filled with iron slurry to seal them, all of which are impermeable, and only a place in the middle of the Hades Temple is a slightly weak vacancy."
You Yang was also stunned, obviously he didn't expect that there would be a tomb within a tomb here.
After reacting, You Yang said; "Brother Dong, you know a lot! But you're right, it's just that after the Yuan Dynasty, the form of this "virtual position" Zang Feng has changed greatly, because this place is easy to break through, but the tradition of leaving a virtual position is still retained until the Qing Dynasty, but it has been changed very small, the size is only a few inches, and people can't get in! The design of the Tang Dynasty was too large, and many tomb robbers dug holes and dug directly to the bottom of the tomb, which was easy to break bricks from the 'empty position'. β
Chen Dong nodded and said; "But on the whole, the solidity and luxury of the Tang tomb are still counted in Chinese history!"
"Well, but on the virtual position of the Tang Tomb, there are one or several mechanisms, this kind of mechanism is hidden in the tomb bricks of the Hades Temple, once the empty tomb bricks are broken, the mechanism will be triggered, according to the layout of the Tang Tomb, there are quicksand, crossbows, stone piles, etc., and it is possible to fall down the flap and completely seal the Hades Temple.
After speaking, You Yang and Chen Dong came to the Hades Temple, the scale of the Hades Hall of this ancient tomb is really not small, two hundred square meters.
Chen Dong used a flashlight to illuminate, looked around, and asked; "In this temple...... How come there is no coffin? β
Hades since ancient times, is the place where the coffin of the tomb owner is placed, the "Funeral Sutra" is written clearly, the Hades Hall is also known as Cining Hall, is the core part of the mausoleum, whether it is a joint burial or a single burial, the tomb owner should wear a large clothes, sleep in the coffin, and nail the coffin lid outside.
Even if the body of the tomb owner cannot be placed in the coffin for some reason, the tomb owner's clothing and hat will be placed in the coffin for burial.
In short, there can be no corpse, but the coffin is in the temple anyway!
Moreover, the tomb robbers of the past generations will never pour out the coffin after dismantling the mound door and turning it upside down, and besides, they have limited space to dig the robbery hole, even if the coffin is not large, it is impossible to pour it out of the robbery hole.
Chen Dong knows all these things from the book, so he knows some ways.
But when he thought that there was no coffin in the underworld, his world view was once again subverted, and he couldn't think of the famous hall even if he thought about it, could it be that the coffin of the tomb owner turned into soda and evaporated?
Moreover, when they came in, they found that the 'void' of the Hades Temple had already been broken, so those organs naturally disappeared.
You Yang and Chen Dong were each surprised, and after a moment, Chen Dong asked; "You Yang, look at this underworld, in addition to the fact that there is no coffin of the tomb owner, what else is wrong?"
You Yang borrowed the flashlight to take a closer look at the Hades Palace, not only did the Hades Hall have no coffins, it can be said that there is nothing, the ground is empty, not to mention the burial goods, and there is not even a superfluous stone.
However, look at the scale and structure of this temple, they are all first-class Tang Dynasty princes' tombs, the building structure is round at the top, and the bottom is square, seeing the edges and corners, stable and neat, the shape on the top is like the roof of the yurt, it is dome-shaped, this is called the round place, and the cosmology of the people at that time is exactly the same.
There are six stone frames on the ground of the Hades Temple, and these stone frames are empty, and nothing is placed, but You Yang knows that they are the six kinds of jade used to sacrifice the six directions, Brown, Gui, Zhang, Wall, Amber, and Huang, which are only treated by members of the royal family.
The four walls of the temple are not nothing, only some murals with a foundation, all of which are painted in white, not yet colored, painted with the sun, moon and stars, and the main ones are thirteen palace maids.
Some of these palace maids are holding brocade boxes, and the palace ladies are all fat and fat, showing a picture scroll of court life in the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that on the front wall of the Hades Temple, there is a painting, which shocked You Yang and Chen Dong's eyes.
I saw a woman, dressed in a costume that only princesses of the Tang Dynasty could wear at that time, and then held a bead in her hand, staring in a daze.
The woman's eyes were very melancholy, as if she was looking at the beads in her hand, thinking of someone.
Seeing this, Chen Dong's face turned pale, not that the portrait was realistic, but that the woman on the wall looked exactly the same as You Yang's fiancΓ©e!
