Chapter Eighty-Three: Into the Grave!
In the depths of the forest, under the moonlight, Wu Bucheng and his party were holding torches and staring at Duan Lao Er and the others working.
This place is very interesting, originally Wu Bucheng and others mistakenly broke into the place, surrounded by mountains, but in fact, it is also a small mountain bag, but now, they have come to the bottom of the small mountain bag, and the direction is facing east.
Duan Laoer's gang of people, there are five in total, according to Duan Laoer's own words, the inverted bucket originally didn't need these many people, but the current bucket is really a big deal, and it's really not possible to find a few more, so he found everything he could find. Fortunately, it is fortunate that I found so many people, otherwise I would not have been able to do the things in front of me.
There are a lot of particularities about the orientation of the mausoleum, but if it is a noble cemetery, especially the royal one, most of them pay attention to a back to the north and face south, just like the noble man was the same during his lifetime, so the main entrance of the mausoleum should be open to the south.
And because the nobles chose the cemetery, there is no problem with the big feng shui, so there must be no problem facing south, and you can avoid the taboos of those directions.
And now, Duan Lao Er and the others are doing things in the east, so they naturally have their own reasons.
"Good man, the Tao here is actually very simple, that is, anyone wants to build a mausoleum, no matter what, it is also a fortification, no different from building a house. There are always a lot of things that need to be in and out, even in front of you, so how can you say that you have to dig a mountain, right? Where are the excavated rocks going? It's definitely going to be shipped out.
The south side is the main gate, but you have to pay attention to it, you must not go from there, the north side is the back, and there is no door behind, in case the descendants are gone, and they slip through the back door.
And the west side is the birth gate, but the west side is also prone to make white tigers, if one is not done well, the ground sinks, and the white tiger is guilty, then this feng shui can be wasted.
The east side is good, there are not too many taboos in the east, and it is best to transport mountain stones from here.
Most of the craftsmen who built the mausoleum knew this, and they probably knew that if they built such a mausoleum, they would not end well in the future, and they would secretly leave themselves a chance to escape, which is to the east.
But there are also people who will prevent them from fleeing for their lives, but in any case, this eastern opening is the easiest to enter, especially such a large tomb. ”
Duan Lao Er, while working with his subordinates, explained to Wu Bucheng and others.
Wu Bucheng was originally a monk, where had he heard of these things, he only felt very curious, "This, this tomb robbery is really skilled." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Bucheng himself felt a little strange, he also knew more or less that pouting people's graves was not a good thing, although Lin Tao said it, even if it was for the brothers of the Dragon Drum Camp, if we dug the graves of the Khitan nobles, it would be revenge.
When a few other people heard it, most of them also felt the same way, after all, they knew that this matter was not good, but Chang Youwei also had something to say, and only heard him say: "Brother Ah Cheng, you are right, it is true." If you really talk about which line of work needs the most craftsmanship in this world, then it is also a number of tomb robbing, if you want to be proficient in this industry, you not only need to know how to divide things such as gold and acupoints, but also need to understand the creation of houses, excavation and excavation of soil, exquisite mechanisms, traps and ...... Anyway, the more powerful the tomb robbers, the more they need to know. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone felt reasonable, but Chu Yan still said angrily: "You can say that pouting people's graves is so reasonable, you guy is not a good person!" ”
Hearing this, Chang Youwei laughed and didn't refute it, but just said to Wu Bucheng: "Brother Acheng, in fact, the matter of digging graves has existed since ancient times. Let me tell you a story, and I will say that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous master of the art of war, called Wu Zixu, what did this person do? He was originally from Chu State, and his father was the teacher of the prince of Chu State, but later, this prince became the king of Chu Ping, but he listened to slander and killed Wu Zixu's father and brother, Wu Zixu later fled to Wu State, and was reused by Wu Wanglu, Wu Zixu led the army to break Chu State, pouted the tomb of King Chu Ping, and whipped 300 corpses! Brother Ah Cheng, who in later generations will not say that Wu Zixu is a big hero and a hero? ”
Jin Zhu, who had been beside him, heard this story and immediately praised loudly: "It is indeed a big hero!" It's a man! ”
"This ...... This...... There seems to be some truth. After listening to it, Wu Bucheng really understood.
This is the case in the world, there is revenge, there is resentment and complaining, which is different from the temple. Master and Master always say that they will not fight, and they always say that they will let go, but in this world, just like Senior Brother Fuji said, it is to fight.
Chang Youwei told this story, which naturally got everyone's unanimous approval, as for the woman Chu Yan, she was originally a Khitan and a descendant of the enemy, so if we don't kill her, it will be considered great mercy, so we will no longer pay attention to her.
This little girl is angry enough, but she also agrees with the truth that Chang Youwei said, if it is the other way around, it is the Khitan army that has entered the Central Plains, what is the situation?
Maybe the mausoleum of the Zhao family is also going to be destroyed, and it is also going to be whipped......
"It's done!"
"Haha! Finally saw the door. ”
With Duan Lao Er cheering with his subordinates, this tomb robbery can be regarded as having some eyebrows.
It turned out that Duan Lao Er and the others had been here for a few days, and they had made every grass and tree here clear, selected this location, and used a tomb robbery shovel to test it, and found that this should be a good breakthrough.
"This should be the Broken Dragon Stone Gate." Chang Youwei saw this master, so he said: "At the end of the construction of the mausoleum, someone manipulated the mechanism to put down this gate, and after putting it down, there was no way to live, but it was only ......."
Chang Youwei didn't finish speaking, so he began to look around carefully, as if he was looking for something, and finally came to the stone door, reached out and groped, which seemed to be not enough, and knocked lightly with his fist a few times, making some banging sounds.
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Chang Youwei's face, "Brother Ah Cheng, can you slash here?" ”
When he had finished speaking, he pointed to a certain place on the stone door.
What does this mean?
But Wu Bucheng knew that Chang Youwei would not harm himself, so he was ready to act, but before he could move, the golden bead who wanted to be his woman moved first.
"I don't need my man to make a move!" After Jin Zhu finished speaking, he took out his sword and stabbed it at the place where Chang Youwei was pointing!
Seeing this, Wu Bucheng was a little moved, although this golden bead was a little weird, she wanted to be her own woman so much, but she was defending herself at the moment, knowing that this mausoleum was probably a little weird, so she took action herself.
Thinking of this, Wu Bucheng also drew his knife and threw a scimitar out as if he had killed the giant man before.
"Haha...... Thank you, my man! Jin Zhu understood when he saw it, and his face was even more smiling.
But when he heard two sounds, he flew out of the knife and hit it at the same time as the sword he stabbed, but he saw a big hole in the stone door!
"This is ......" Wu Bucheng was a little surprised, seeing that this stone gate was huge, and Chang Youwei also said it clearly, this is called the Broken Dragon Stone Gate, no one can escape, so how can it be so fragile, so cut out a hole?
Chang Youwei smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, let's go in and have a look." ”
There is no doubt that he pulled the hole in the stone door to a bigger one, and Chang Youwei took a torch and got into it.
"Haha...... Chang scholar, you have a set! When Ma Jiaolong saw it, he also followed, but he had an extra heart and asked Duan Lao Er to go in first.
In this way, Wu Bucheng can't stand outside, he, a monk, really started to rob tombs.
Wu Bucheng went in and saw that there was a passage behind the stone gate, I am afraid that it was really as the second child said, it should be a road for transporting mountain stones and other items, but there were more than a dozen white bones scattered on the ground, looking at the fragments of clothes covering the white bones, as well as the tools in their hands, they should all be craftsmen who built this mausoleum.
Chang Youwei said to Wu Bucheng at this time: "Brother Ah Cheng probably should have thought of it, these are the craftsmen who built the mausoleum in the first place, they should live to the end, and in fact, many barbarians like 'life sacrifices', they are trapped alive in this tomb!" ”
"This ......" Wu Bucheng couldn't help but sweat a little after hearing this, but he felt that this matter was too cruel.
Chang Youwei continued: "But however, these craftsmen should also know their fate, so we can come in." ”
"Brother Chang, you have told it all." Wu Bucheng said anxiously.
"Okay." Chang Youwei no longer sells Guanzi, only to hear him point to the tools in the hands of these craftsmen and say: "They know that they may not get out alive in the end, but people all want to live, and they all have the idea of survival, this broken dragon stone gate must have been built a long time ago, and the craftsmen naturally know what this thing is used for, but they are also smart and know to leave a glimmer of hope for themselves. I dare say that these individuals will carry vinegar with them, and they will usually accumulate some during meals, and when they come, they will take it out to dissolve the stone gate. It's just a pity that they still couldn't dig through this broken dragon stone in the end, but they also dug for a long time, and we can come in today, and we really want to thank them. ”
That's what happened.
After hearing this, the horse dragon bowed to these white bones and said, "Amitabha, thank you." ”
Everyone thinks that Ma Jiaolong is interesting, and there are also those who like to join in the fun and say two words of thanks, Wu Bucheng was originally a monk, but he also recited two Buddha names in his heart.
However, Wu Bucheng always felt a little weird, why didn't these craftsmen go back along the passage?
What if they were angry and destroyed this tomb?
However, at this moment, I saw a strange thing.
"Ahh Ah......" One of Duan Lao'er's subordinates, he suddenly let out a strange scream, and then his face turned black, foaming at the mouth, and he couldn't live anymore!
What's going on?
But I heard Wu Bucheng suddenly shout at Jin Zhu, "Don't move!" ”
Immediately afterwards, a knife came out, but I saw a fishy splash on Jin Zhu's shoulder.
What is it?
Chu Yan didn't understand it originally, but when she looked at it through the light of the torch, she immediately got goosebumps all over her body and screamed, Ah!
It turned out that the top of this passage was covered with worms the size of a palm, and how many legs could not be counted for a while......
