Chapter 24: Broken Jade Prevents Disaster
The structure of the main burial chamber is also very simple, with a single-plank humanoid coffin with three golden hoops on top of the treasure piled up in the middle, and a spear-like thing stuck in the back, which Mr. Shen told me was a Sulu ingot, one of the symbols of the power and power of the Mongolian people. Legend has it that the owner of the tomb was born with fetal blood in the shape of a Sulu ingot, and it is believed that he was a great hero sent by God to save the Mongols, and he later did it.
In addition to a pile of gold mountains in the middle, under the murals around the tomb, there are other rare treasures piled up everywhere, what Mr. Shen can recognize is all kinds of gems, blue and white porcelain, and Nashi arrows, as well as all kinds of treasures that he does not know, some of them are treasures from abroad at a glance, and some of them seem to be unique to the northern nomadic peoples, all of which are dazzling.
In addition to these priceless things, the murals and carvings on the walls are also very exquisite, and the murals here are more colorful than the outside, many of which are scenes of Mongol conquest and war. Most of them were brave and warlike Mongol soldiers chasing the remnants of the defeated soldiers on the steppe, cutting them down one by one, and some were setting fire to the city, which made people feel the frenzy and bloodiness of the war.
The carving is more of a decoration, some look like flowers, some look like beams, and some are made with the murals to make it more vivid.
Teacher Shen said: "The content of the mural should be the process of his defeat of Western Liao, Western Xia, Khorezm, Eastern Xia, Jin and other countries. The conquest was the greatest glory of the Mongols, so it is not surprising that the frescoes are depicted. β
But I think that as great as he was, if it were just a war, acts like the slaughter of cities and the burial of such a thing as a murder seemed to me to be cruel and inhumane.
He went on to analyze: "He conquered half the world, and the craftsmen of all nationalities were taken captive to build mausoleums and paint murals, which also explains why there are so many different beliefs in the murals. Many of the treasures were also buried here. β
He didn't mention that I hadn't remembered that there were so many gold and silver treasures on the ground, and we were actually looking at the murals carefully? I said to Mr. Shen, "Shall we pick two to go back and prove that we have found his grave?"
"No way!" His tone was resolute.
"We'll take one or two away, one is to prove, and the other is to do research, why not?" I asked.
"No! If you come in like this, and go out with two more things, what's the difference between you and a tomb robber? β
"It's not that serious, is it?"
"I just can't say no!" He seemed to be a little angry, "Before the official excavation of the golden stone, everything should be kept in its original state, and you are also a student of the golden stone, don't you know!" β
I was silent, although I was a little unconvinced, thinking that this guy was too old, but I still gave up. Because I thought about it, even if I took it out, it wouldn't be mine anyway, so what am I doing with my idleness?
I said to him, "So what are we going to do now, and go back to the grave?" β
Teacher Shen thought for a while: "Okay, there is no other way now." It stands to reason that the agency is only protecting the main burial chamber, so we shouldn't have a problem going that way. β
So I copied the shovel and looked at this treasure mountain with some reluctance, even if it was not my own, I had never seen such a scene in my life. I looked at the portrait again. The next time I look at it, I'll have to wait until it's officially excavated, and it will be a big news that will cause a sensation in the world.
I cautiously climbed out first, and then led Mr. Shen over the machine stone on the ground. Go in the opposite direction from where you came.
But just as we let our guard down and were about to pass the first pile of bones of the martyrs, a cry suddenly sounded in our ears.
I hurriedly illuminated the surroundings with an oil lamp, and grasped the probe shovel with my right hand, but my body shook involuntarily.
This sound doesn't sound like a living person to me, and besides, there are so many people at this time!
I was still using the oil lamp to look around for the source of the sound, Mr. Shen had already rushed up from behind and pulled me to run up and down, I didn't react to what was going on, but my feet had already followed, but we stopped before I rushed out a few steps. Because there are some things that can't be run away at all.
Teacher Shen and I were completely stunned by the sight in front of us. I could clearly feel that his hand was shaking as he tugged at me.
The oil lamp shone in front of us, and we saw that it was something else that was making a wailing sound, or something unclean. It is still a group of unclean things, probably more terrible in number than the "swarm", almost standing in front of us and completely blocking our way. To our right is the wall, and we can tell by our sound, that they are on the front and back and on the leftβwe are surrounded by them.
I saw that they were all women and children, as Teacher Shen said, and they must have come from all over the world, because their clothes were different.
If it was simply unclean, we might not be as scared as we are now, but apart from the horrible sound, they looked so miserable. They all went through the pain of war and massacre, and it can be said that they crawled out of hell. But all those who still have heads are all hideous-looking, staring at us with blood-red eyes.
Teacher Shen and I were at a loss at all, knowing that there was no way to escape today, and we could probably only be at the mercy of others.
As the unclean stuff approached, I felt my heart beat very fast, and I was depressed and afraid. I was so shaky that I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe.
I felt like I was going to die, and it seemed like I was going to die this time.
Teacher Shen was also forced to retreat step by step, and he became closer and closer to me, but he suddenly said, "I'm sorry to bring you here." β
Hearing him say this, I suddenly seemed to see through it, and said, "It's all like this, let's see you in the next life." β
With something unclean approaching, the two of us almost huddled into one. Not knowing what they were thinking, they slowly narrowed the encirclement. But this only adds to the fear in our hearts. To be honest, I'd rather they just rush up and give you a break.
We two ordinary people, in the face of unclean things, are really helpless, and we don't even have the courage to pick up the guys and fight them to the death. The moment the unclean stuff finally pounced on me, I was ready for the last moment, and we seemed to instinctively hug each other and crouch down.
A white light flashed around him, but suddenly it became very quiet.
My mind went blank and I didn't know what was going on.
After a few seconds, I opened my eyes and looked around, making sure there were no more of those things around.
I moved, and when Mr. Shen saw that I moved, he also raised his head: "Alas? β
We stood up, and the jade pendant on my chest fell to the ground with a "click". I turned on the oil lamp and saw that it had broken into seven or eight pieces, which made me feel so distressed that I quickly bent down to pick it up.
Teacher Shen sighed: "I understand, this is the so-called jade shattering disaster, I have heard the older generation say before, Ma Daoren really left you a treasure." β
I picked up the broken pieces of jade, and I felt distressed and sighed. Do I want to thank Ma Daoren, or do I want to thank my master who I have never met?
Frightened, we supported each other, and fled all the way back to the ear chamber where a shovel was placed at the door, and the moment we entered, we actually felt like home.
The two of us finally collapsed completely. We were all very hungry and wanted to eat some dry food, but we would consume water, so we had no choice but to give up. I prayed in my heart that it would rain, so that our chances of survival would be greatly increased.
We all lay down, and after what had just happened, it seemed that we had put life and death aside, and we didn't have any fear, we just wanted to sleep well.
Even though it was late at night and there was no sunlight at the entrance of the cave, I now looked at the cave as if I were looking at hope, and imagined that at some point a life-saving rope would be lowered from there. Before I knew it, I was asleep.
After getting up, we could already see the sun overhead, and it was dawn, but we didn't know what time it was, Mr. Shen took out the watch issued by the school and looked at it, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon.
I was so hungry that I couldn't help it, and after a few bites of dry food, I found myself very thirsty. I asked Mr. Shen, "Why did you say he was buried in this place?"
He replied: "I can figure this question out to a layman, why can't you figure it out?" β
"You, layman? Don't make me amused. "But I didn't know until I had a turn in my head that he was talking about Feng Shui.
I just remembered that this is also the remnant of the Daxing'an Mountains, and it is north of the imperial tomb of the Liao Dynasty, that is to say, he built a mausoleum in the "upstream" of this dragon vein, and robbed the Liao people's mausoleum, because Mongolia once paid tribute to Liao, which can be regarded as revenge. But then again, the dragon veins of the Great Xing'an Mountains are not on the three dragon veins in the north, south, and central parts of our country, so their qi numbers are not very long.
I was a little surprised in my heart, I didn't expect that the feng shui technique of our Han people would be used by these two ethnic groups in the struggle after death. He looked at my suddenly realized expression and didn't say much.
I seemed to have a sudden enlightenment in my heart and said to Mr. Shen, "Then do you think what happened last night is also a feng shui problem?" When we went in, we were fine, but when we came out, we encountered such a thing, is it because the main burial chamber is a place where anger gathers, once the door is opened, anger will rush to the burial pit, and even if we can enter, we will come out and be killed by evil and unclean things full of resentment. β
"Maybe, I guess here, as you said, is a feng shui bureau set up by a high level of feng shui, so that tomb robbers have no return. Luckily, you were wearing that extraordinary piece of stuff, and we were lucky enough to get two lives back. β
I can't help but sigh at the circumstances of life. If it weren't for the lady who dug up the recent years, if it wasn't for the fact that we met Ma Daoren later, what would we have done this time? I only hope that the catastrophe will not die, and there will be a blessing in the future.
