"Here, there is a tomb?"

Zhang Jinya glanced at Yi Shiting in disbelief, and said slowly: "It's unlikely, right?" Whose tomb was built in front of the wolf's den? Aren't you afraid that the wolf will be hungry and dig a hole in and gnaw the corpse? ”

"I can't be mistaken."

Yi Shiting shook her head and said in a deep voice: "Cinnabar is mercury sulfide, as far as I know, this thing is not produced here in the Western Regions, and almost all the cinnabar here is transported from the Central Plains, and there are very few that can be used in the Western Regions, basically only two." One is for some monks who have learned Daomen alchemy to serve the nobles in the Western Regions; The other one is to make the sealing soil of the ancient tomb! ”

Speaking of this, Yi Shiting glanced at Zhang Jinya and said: "Ethnic minorities, especially some nomadic peoples, they do not reject their corpses being eaten by some carnivorous animals, and even Mongolians will give their corpses to animals to eat after death, because they think that Mongolians have been eating meat all their lives, and when they die, they should give their own flesh to nature, and use their own flesh to raise the animals of nature, which is the karma in the minds of Mongolians, so they accept it calmly, And this way they bury themselves is the so-called celestial burial! Of course, some nomadic nobles will still build mausoleums for themselves, but their mausoleums are different from our Han people, and there will be no facilities to prevent animals from entering and eating corpses, so it is normal for ancient tombs to be built in front of the wolf's den.

Even, there are many nomadic nobles in the mausoleum when the mausoleum is completed, will also put a group of fierce beasts near their mausoleum, these beasts will become the best anti-theft measures for their mausoleum, multiply for generations, can guard the mausoleum for them, these free-range beasts are also called guardian beasts! ”

In general, Yi Shiting's statement is quite in line with my appetite, I haven't noticed the situation of the walls of this wolf's den just now, and now that she mentions it, it really reminds me of a kind of burial structure!

This type of tomb is called a cinnabar tomb.

In the history of our country, the general tombs are basically the same when sealing the soil - the tomb is generally with lime cushion coffin, and then covered with plaster, the composition of the plaster contains a certain amount of mercury, so that it can be used for embalming, and then the red soil, and then the raw soil tamping, the so-called raw soil is actually a kind of jargon in the archaeological world, that is, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation in nature, the naturally formed native soil, also called dead soil, pure land, it has uniform color, fine structure, compact texture, pure. After the soil is raw, it is covered with cooked soil, so that the process of sealing the soil is completed.

Cooked soil is the soil that has been turned by human beings, also called living soil, flower soil, it has uneven color, uneven structure, loose texture, and mixed.

Use the Luoyang shovel to determine whether there is a tomb underground, mainly to see if you can dig out the red soil or raw soil!!

However, not all tombs use this kind of sealed soil structure, and the cinnabar tomb is one of them!

What is the structure of the cinnabar tomb?

After the tomb is completed, a layer of cooked soil is placed on the raw soil, and then a layer of plaster mud and a layer of cooked soil, and then the final sealing work is completed by mixing red clay and cinnabar!

It is said that the surface layer of the sealed soil of this kind of tomb will show a special bewitching blood color, after thousands of years will not fade, if it is completed in a damp place, then the sealed soil touches, the hands will be stained with a layer of bleak red, "Funeral Sutra" said that this color is like the most vivid time when the sun sets, if it rains, the whole ancient tomb will continue to seep fine red water droplets outside, as if it is oozing blood, incomparably strange and terrifying!

The blood oozing in the tomb is the call of the great murderer, and the disaster will affect the children and grandchildren, and the harm will be endless!

So, cinnabar tombs are rare, and it can even be said that they are rare!!

Anyway, it seems that my old ancestor who was a professional tomb robber in the middle of the hair hill seems to have encountered a cinnabar tomb once in his life, because this kind of tomb has its own special mission - to suppress evil spirits!

But where there is a cinnabar tomb, there must be some unclean things in it, and there are already bad signs before the deceased is buried, it may be that the corpse is raised, or it may be that the yin spirit does not want to go with the corpse, so it is simply buried in the tomb, so it will be sealed with cinnabar to prevent the contents from coming out......

After all, cinnabar has a great effect on suppressing evil, in some witchcraft cinnabar is regarded as a substitute for blood, and the talisman of the monk who does not have the Tao to catch ghosts and subdue demons is usually painted with this thing, and the restraint of evil things is quite strong.

I know these things, it is impossible for Yi Shiting, as a descendant of touching gold, not to understand what the cinnabar tomb means, so the expression on her face is very solemn.

"You say...... Is it possible that this tomb is the tomb of Wusun Tianjiao? ”

At this time, Cao Yuan suddenly frowned and said: "Just now Sister Yi Shiting said that there are beasts in the funerals of ethnic minorities, but it reminds me, because I have read an ancient book before, which was written by a merchant who ran the Silk Road, which records many legends about the Western Regions that he has heard, one of which is about the location of the burial place of Wusun Tianjiao, what does the book say - hunting heroes and conquering countless small countries in the Western Regions, But the most memorable thing for him is the war against the Yue Clan, so he hopes that after his death, he can be buried in the place where he won the final victory in the war against the Yue Clan, looking at the great Peacock River, and then accompanied by the 'wolf mother' who saved him with a mouthful of milk, guarding the mausoleum for him, so that he can go with peace of mind! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Yuan looked at the wolf's lair, and said casually: "The location where we are now should be the place where Hunt Jiaomi won the final victory against the Yue Clan, not far from the ancient river channel of the Peacock River, and I have encountered the ancient dire wolf here, so based on all this, can I speculate that Hunt Jiaomi's mausoleum is here?" And it's the one in front of us! Because, there is a dire wolf guarding the mausoleum!! ”

Yi Shiting and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the shock in each other's eyes - Cao Yuan's statement is not unreasonable!

"The tombs are all in front of us, and we hesitate to sweat, just go in and take a look!"

Zhang Jinya didn't know the depth of the cinnabar tomb, and shouted on the side: "Anyway, we're all here, why don't you dig a thief hole and go in and have a look, maybe the fat man will be trapped here?" After all, with the character of that dead fat man, as long as there is a big tomb, he definitely has to rub his legs, and it is not impossible to drill into this tomb! ”

I think you fucking want to go in and see if you can touch a treasure or two, right?

I glared at this thing angrily, this kind of even a gold tooth in the mouth of the big zongzi has to pick out the master from the shore, and it is normal to think about the treasures in the ancient tomb, so I didn't pay attention to him, discussed it with Tsing Yi and them, and decided to explore this wolf's den first.

As soon as we said it, a few of us continued to follow the hoof prints left by the dire wolf.

This wolf's den is quite deep, more than 200 meters deep, we have been going to the end to finally see the dire wolf, that thing seems to be really scared by us, as soon as we see us cowering, whining and wailing endlessly, we see that it is not ready to attack us did not move, and found that there are more than a dozen little dire wolves in this wolf den, which makes us feel less guilty, there are these little dire wolves, this ancient giant beast will not be completely extinct, maybe the population can be restored in the future.

We were a little disappointed that we didn't find the water source we were looking for in the wolf's den, and in the end, in order to avoid provoking the dire wolf and causing unnecessary conflicts, we simply withdrew, and after a few discussions, we finally decided to go into the ancient tomb!!

First, when the ancient tomb was built, it was called feng shui, there is wind and water to be called feng shui, there is wind, the water is not found, maybe it is groundwater, maybe it is on the other side of the ancient tomb, in short, it is possible to find the water source we need most when entering the ancient tomb.

Second, Zhang Jinya is right about one thing, the fat man will enter the tomb when he sees it, and he may really be found here, although the probability is not too big and it is completely luck.

All in all, we have nowhere else to go now, even if we know that this ancient tomb is murderous, we have to go in and give it a try!
