Sanjiang Tomb Chapter 7 Mass Caves
After eating something with Professor Li, we looked around Sizhou, where we were camping, and found nothing. Later, we'll just go to the place where we saw the ghost fire last night. We walked along the river for about ten minutes and felt that the location was about the same.
Hidden by dense trees and shrubs, we walked through an emergency. Since it was morning, there were quite a lot of mosquitoes in the woods, and they were always lingering in the ears. Fortunately, we did some precautionary measures in advance, so that these mosquitoes were not cheaper again.
After a while, a huge mountain gate came into view.
I saw that the mountain gate was surrounded by vines, and if you looked closely, these vines and plants were like a green giant snake embedded in the mountain, and the snake body appeared from time to time, and the snake's head was open in the center of Shandong. At this time, the professor also looked this way.
The professor exclaimed, "At this time, I saw one of the largest caves in my life. "The professor is ready to go inside alone,
I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Professor Li, no, Li Tong, Xiao Yin, and the cannon are still at the station last night, you wait here, I'll call them." "Professor Li thinks what I said is feasible, after all, in this inaccessible place, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
After finding a place for Professor Ming Li to rest, I went back the way I came, and let the cannons pack their things, and then we went to the place where I came from before. When the other three saw this formation, they all praised it.
Professor Li was the only one who looked at the entrance of the cave, and Professor Li paused for a while and said, "How do you look at this snake, not a snake." After his reminder, I also looked at the serpentine shape at the entrance of the cave again, and suddenly I said, "I think this totem must not be a snake, but this snake has two wings." ”
I also said: "According to the record of "Mountains and Seas Kanyulu", this should be a fierce beast known as Win Gou. ”
Li Tong continued: "I once saw in a book that it was very rare for ancient beasts to be used as tomb totems, and if this is the case, the owner in it is very significant. And this may have something to do with the tomb of King Onishi that we are looking for. ”
Professor Li also sighed at this time: "Fortunately, such a large tomb is in this wilderness, otherwise it would have been destroyed." The cannon also said at this time: "Zhang Xianzhong, this grandson, is really good at choosing a place, and he still wants to cultivate immortals in this place." ”
Professor Li concluded his conversation and said: "The ancients did not want anyone to disturb the future generations. The cannon said: "This old man has done so many sins in his life, and he still wants to be clean after his death, and he really wants to be beautiful." ”
Everyone saw that the cannon was talking nonsense alone, and they didn't care about him. The problem at hand is how to find the mechanism of the mountain gate. In general, the burial institutions built by the ancients were mostly in secret places. So everyone started looking.
But finding this mechanism was as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack, and after a while no one could find the location of the mechanism. Li Tong opened the vines and carefully searched for the snake's body, and suddenly he said, "Everyone come and see." I hurriedly ran over.
She pointed to the snake's tail as a large pit embedded in the mountain, and there was a stone needle in it, and to the right and left of the stone needle was a snake carved into it, and the stone needle pointed to the place where the snake's tail was pointed. We twisted the stone needle towards the snake's head, but the mountain gate never moved. It's stumping for us.
At this time, the cannon said: "Didn't the old man say before that he hit a snake and hit seven inches?" ”
His remark reminds us that if we look closely at the scales on both sides of the snake, the seven inches are where the snake's vertebrae are located. We adjusted the position of the stone needle together, and only then did the stone door slowly open. Since the cave has not been in contact with the outside air for many years, a lot of dust was raised inside the mountain when the mountain gate opened.
Everyone was holding a searchlight prepared in advance, I was in front of the road, behind the cannon pad, and the others were in the middle. Entering the cave, there is a large pit first. At the same time, due to the dim light in the cave, ghost fires appear in it from time to time. Everyone kept walking along the middle passage to the inside. Suddenly, I don't know who stepped on what with one foot and made a sound of Qingcun. When I looked back, it was the sound coming from under the cannon. Our searchlights shone on the soles of the cannons' feet.
This sight frightened everyone, and it turned out that the bottom of the cannon's feet was stepping on a person's ribs. At this time, everyone guessed that such a hole was not as simple as imagined, and everyone shone the searchlight in their hands in all directions, and everyone found that there was a dry bone all around us. I saw that inside this huge hole, the searchlight was full of white bones, adults, children, men, women, cows and sheep, etc., it can be said that this is a mass grave.
At this time, I shone the searchlight on the stone wall not far away, and found that it was uneven, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was connected to the sculpture on the stone wall outside. And under the illumination of the lights, dust enters the sculpture passage. That's when I realized that the big ghost fire we saw last night had been formed in this way.
Due to the fact that the air here is closed to the outside world all year round, and there are a large number of bones inside, the air contains a large amount of combustible phosphorus, and due to the high pressure of the air in the cave, it is discharged through the serpentine passage, and we can see large-scale ghost fires at night. To be able to find here, it can be said that everything is providential.
"This ancient tomb is so inhumane, he died alone and let so many people be buried with him. Or we live in a new era. The cannon cursed.
Everyone was silent for a while, and I finally realized what it means to be a grass and a person to treat human life as a mustard. Living in a hierarchical society, ordinary people have no rights. Xing, the people suffer; This is the truth that the people are suffering.
Our group continued on, and through the passage of the cave we came to the bottom of a stone staircase. I saw that the stone steps in front of me were divided into ninety-nine steps, and there were twelve stone beasts on both sides, and the stone beasts were arranged in order according to the twelve zodiac signs. But the difference is that the stone statue is underneath the human body.
"In ancient times, princes and nobles wanted to use the zodiac signs to protect their wealth during their lifetimes. ”
Professor Li went on to say, "A person who uses the zodiac signs to keep his wealth in life needs to have great luck to control the spirit on the stone statue. It is rumored that in ancient Xiliang, there was a Gu technique that used the power of a sigil to seal his soul in a stone statue after killing his cronies around him. In this way, the stone statue has a certain consciousness, and anyone who comes to attack the stone statue will definitely protect the owner of the tomb. ”
The cannon added: "Professor Li, is this the same reason as the terracotta warriors and horses that appeared near the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?" It's just that Qin Shi Huang used pottery as a terracotta army. ”
Professor Li continued: "At present, there is no conclusion on the location of the tomb of the Qin Emperor, and the terracotta warriors and horses are only the periphery of it. And whether this kind of tragic Gu technique is also used in its mausoleum, we can't tell. In ancient times, when there was power, there was basically the power of life and death. ”
