The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 17 The Tomb of Clothes
After listening to Qiu Yan's words, I stood up and looked around, the bottom of the tomb was stacked into a flattened pyramid shape by steps, dozens of almost identical coffins were neatly stacked on the steps at all levels, if I guessed correctly, this coffin from top to bottom represents the different generations of the burial people, and at the top of the pyramid are the three brothers Huang Zhang, Huang Bin, Huang Cai, and a person who is not engraved with a name.
I can't understand it here, according to Chinese customs, especially people more than 2,000 years ago, since such a magnificent mausoleum was arranged, shouldn't it be dedicated to a few ancestors? Or do they think that the beast-faced figure on the desk is their ancestor?
"Zimu, who are these Zhanggong Caigong?" Qiu Yan returned to me and asked.
"These are the honorific titles given to them by the younger generations, in fact, they are Huang Zhang, Huang Bin, Huang Cai, have you forgotten, Huang Ba's father is Huang Zhang." I explained.
Qiu Yan slapped her forehead and sighed: "Ah, I really forgot, if you say that, this is indeed your family's ancestral grave!" ”
I nodded.
At this time, Huang Dawei, who had been touching nearby, sighed, "Hey, it's a pity that there is nothing." ”
Hearing Huang Dawei's words, I couldn't help but smile, indeed, as soon as I came in, I found that in addition to a thick layer of ash in this tomb, there were only these coffins and pillars, nothing, very clean and tidy, no wonder Huang Dawei was so disappointed.
"Zimu, you said that the coffin without a name is engraved, who is inside?" Qiu Yan continued to ask.
I shook my head, "I don't know, the genealogy records that Huang Cai only has two brothers, but he also has an uncle and brother, probably one of the buried uncles and brothers." ”
"But why not engrave your name?" Qiu Yan asked as she walked to the nameless coffin, and she could see that she was very curious.
"Why don't we open it and take a look!" Huang Dawei came over at some point and squatted down beside Qiu Yan.
After the lessons of Wushan Tusi and Pujiling, I didn't dare to open these coffins easily, Qiu Yan should have thought the same, otherwise, she would have done it a long time ago.
"Uncle Dawei, don't dare to open it now, the tomb was more than two thousand years ago, the ghost knows what is inside, even if it is to be opened, we have to make some preparations." Qiu Yan admonished on the side.
"What's the matter, don't you really believe in the movies?" Uncle David said disappreciably, staring at the coffin with his two eyes stunned.
I was worried that he would act rashly, so I walked over and pulled him up, "Uncle Dawei, Qiu Yan is not joking, there are some things I advise you to be a little in awe, otherwise you won't know why you will lose your life when the time comes!" ”
"Hehe, that's what I said, you still think I'm really going to open it!" Huang Dawei broke free of my hand, and ran to look at other coffins, I saw that although he looked like a thief, but there were no tools in his hands, these coffins were dozens of pounds, and there were wooden nails on them that were wedged tightly, and his hands alone could not be opened, so I relaxed my vigilance.
Qiu Yan and I saw that there was nothing on the desk, so we took the torch and walked to the wall of the tomb, but unfortunately, we didn't find anything when we walked down, the wall of the tomb was the same as the coffin, smooth, and there was no decoration pattern.
At this moment, I heard Huang Dawei's voice echoing in the tomb, "My grass is empty!" ”
The burial chamber is very large, and the slightest sound will appear very loud, and it will also produce a large echo, so for a while I could not tell the specific direction of the sound.
Suddenly, Qiu Yan pointed to the middle and shouted, "Oh no, he opened the coffin!" ”
I looked in the direction Qiu Yan pointed out, and I noticed that there was a bright light coming out from the back of the desk, and there was a figure dangling in the bright light.
"I'll go, he's really not afraid of fucking death!" When I noticed the light, I immediately picked up my clothes, covered my mouth and nose, and ran towards the light.
When Qiu Yan and I ran to the desk, we saw that the lid of the nameless coffin had been lifted aside, and at this time, Huang Dawei was holding a sapper shovel that came out of nowhere and was secretly working the coffin that came out of the coffin.
Seeing this, I was angry, ran over and pushed Huang Dawei to the ground, and scolded loudly: "You don't want to die!" Don't open it, don't open it, don't catch us if you want to die! ”
Huang Dawei may also know that he is at a loss, he was not angry when I fell for a while, he patted his ass and stood up, and said with a smile: "It's not that serious, you see, isn't it nothing?" ”
Actually, I also want to open these coffins to see, not to say that I want to take anything from them, but to see if there are any clues about the corpse chaser or tortoise shell, especially this nameless coffin, if I wasn't worried about corpse rotting fungi, I would have opened it a long time ago to see where it was sacred.
Driven by curiosity, I ignored Huang Dawei and moved my eyes to the coffin that had been opened.
The outer layer of the coffin is not made of wood, but made of something like cement, but it is covered with a wooden lid, after the lid is opened, a somewhat decayed black-brown coffin is revealed inside, the shovel used by Huang Dawei just now is still inserted in the crack of the coffin, I see that the coffin lid has been pried up a little, if Qiu Yan and I are one step late, Huang Dawei will pry the coffin lid open.
As Huang Dawei said, after the coffin is opened, there is only the coffin inside, and there is nothing else, and it is this frustration that makes me want to open the coffin more and more.
Huang Dawei on the side saw me and Qiu Yan covering our mouths and noses, and he also learned to block his nose with his sleeve.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked over to the coffin, crouched down and looked around the coffin.
After reading it in one circle, I nodded to Qiu Yan.
The coffin was wooden, and I looked at it and found that there was no sign of corpse rot mycelium around, Qiu Yan also came over to take a look at it, and then nodded to me.
After confirming, I snatched the cloth bag that Huang Dawei was carrying, then used a dagger to cut it open, made three simple masks, and told Huang Dawei to wear them.
Huang Dawei probably guessed that we were going to open the coffin, so he took the mask and put it on with a smile, and then leaned over to me and said, "Big nephew, I tried it just now, it's not tight, it's easy to open!" ”
I gave him a blank look, then walked over to the side with the shovel in it, while Huang Dawei took the dagger from my hand and fumbled on the other side of the coffin.
After a lot of effort, the lid of the coffin was finally lifted, but when I opened it, I found that there was no one in the coffin, only some fragments of clothing and a roll of bamboo slips.
"Clothed mound!" Qiu Yan exclaimed when she saw this.
I threw the shovel aside, reached out and took out the bamboo slips, opened them, and found that most of the characters on the bamboo slips were in traditional seal script, and the writing was very strange, and I hardly knew it.
In desperation, I handed the bamboo slips to Qiu Yan and carefully examined the clothes.
Qiu Yan took the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully, and then said behind me: "Zimu, this is an epitaph, which means that the person buried here is the savior of the common people, and it is also said that this person was born because of the author's family, and died because of the author's family, so he was buried here, he said that this person is ...... It's Yangling Hero! ”
When I heard Qiu Yan say Yangling Daxia, I immediately stood up, and I saw Qiu Yan looking at me with a surprised face.
Originally, I wanted to investigate the Huang family, but I was just thinking about whether I could find the clues of Zhu Anshi from the information of the Huang family, but I didn't expect to find such a direct clue, Zhu Anshi, the hero of Yangling, was actually buried in my family's ancestral grave, this ~~~ This is too unbelievable!
At the same time, I was also in ecstasy, I think Qiu Yan should be the same, whether this matter is related to the tiger bone spearhead or tortoise shell, at least our previous speculation is confirmed - the Huang family is also a participant in the witch curse!
"Where?" I leaned over to the bamboo slip in Qiu Yan's hand and asked.
Qiu Yan pointed to one of the bamboo slips and said, "Na, it is written here: It is very important to be the tomb of An Shiyang, and he is a great cause." ”
Although I can understand what Qiu Yan said, I can't understand any of the words she is referring to, and there are many words after these words.
"What about the back? What's written on the back? I asked.
"I'll take a look," Qiu Yan refocused her attention on the bamboo slips, and read them one by one, "Thoroughly, woe to the Marquis of Nanyi, and the princess and the prince, woe arises, the people are afraid of words, the husband is afraid of things, Chang'an is defeated, and then Yangling lives in a deep prison, and he can't do anything. ”
After listening to it, I looked at Huang Dawei and looked at each other, what the hell is this talking about? Two or three words are just one sentence, are the words of the ancients so valuable? Write a few more, and you'll die if you write a little more clearly!
Qiu Yan put away the scroll after reading it, looked at me and smiled, and said: "I'll translate it for you, this sentence should refer to Liu Che, and the Marquis of Nan Yi should be talking about Gongsun He, in fact, the meaning of the whole sentence is the beginning of the witch curse, the same as what we found on the Internet, this is said, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was pedantic, and even caused the disaster to Gongsun He's family, and finally involved the princess and the prince, so that the people were afraid of words and husbands, and he thought that Chang'an had failed.
Then he said that the hero of Yangling was locked up in prison and could not complete the great cause, and then turned to Yu Chong, and finally said that the great cause was hopeful, and he rested here in peace!
I can understand the general meaning of this, but I don't know what this turn is to charge. ”
I almost held my breath to listen to all of Qiu Yan's narration, and after listening, I excitedly took Qiu Yan's hand, "Qiu Yan, if I'm not mistaken, the person who wrote these words should be from the Huang family, right?" ”
Qiu Yan nodded, "That's right! ”
"Does the whole paragraph above mean that the heroes of Yangling have messed up the entire Chang'an, which has caused trouble to Gongsun He and the princess and the crown prince?"
"That's right!"
"In other words, Yangling Daxia hopes that Chang'an will be in chaos, and the result of Chang'an chaos is what he wants?"
"So to speak."
"The Huang family placed the clothes and mounds of the heroes of Yangling here, which shows that the Huang family was on the side of Zhu Anshi at that time, so can I understand it this way, the Huang family at that time intended to disturb Chang'an in order to plot their great cause?"
Hearing this, Qiu Yan finally understood what I meant, and then not only her, but even Huang Dawei, who had not spoken much, opened his mouth in shock.
