Shonan Ghost Cub Shonan Ghost Cub Chapter 20: Burial Pit

Funeral pit is a more popular form of burial in various periods before Qin, generally the emperor's mausoleum will have a special burial pit, after their death will serve their servants and maids, and even favorite pets directly buried alive in their own mausoleum.

One of the most cruel dynasties was the Shang Dynasty, in this period when sorcerers were prevalent and feudal superstitions were repeated, not to mention that the emperor had to have a burial pit after his death, and even ordinary people had to bury their favorite pets after death. Even if a building of more than 100 square meters is built, it is necessary to use live babies as sacrificial offerings, and seal them directly into the foundation or at the junction of bluestone.

The tombs of the Han Dynasty have abandoned the cruel custom of taking living people as burials, at most they take some animals as burials, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even the burial traditions of animals have been replaced by terracotta figurines.

The ten-meter-deep pit behind the stele is obviously a large-scale burial pit from the white bones inside.

"Fortunately, it's not a tomb robber, thank you Aunt Ming, Yang Suizhu should still be there!"

At this moment, the fat man also saw the yellow cloth package in the middle of the white bones, although the light in the room was blurred, fortunately, the strong light flashlights of me and the fat man were good brands, and even if they were turned on for a long time, they could last for more than ten hours.

"Don't you think this dungeon is a little weird?"

I asked.

"What's weird?"

Hearing my question, the fat man showed a suspicious look, and then suddenly raised the flashlight and trance me! I finally experienced the feeling of being temporarily blind in the moment of being caught by the bright light, and a white flocculent object immediately appeared in front of me.

I hurriedly stepped back, covered my eyes with my hand, and immediately reached into my trouser pocket with my left hand and pulled out the dagger! I haven't completely let down my guard since the fat man reported to his home, and the dagger has always been within reach, ready to deal with emergencies.

"Hey! I said friend, don't be nervous, I just want to see your expression......"

After I made a defensive stance, the fat man immediately moved the flashlight from the direction facing me to the burial pit.

"Your uncle!"

The flocculent in my eyes was still not completely dissipated, and after hearing his understatement I cursed angrily, and the impression of his unreliability deepened in my heart.

"Look at you, Master Zhang, I'm just adjusting the atmosphere! In this deep mountain cave, those lonely ghosts and ghosts didn't come out to entertain our brothers, so I had to entertain myself, brothers. ”

The fat man explained in a mocking tone, and then asked:

"By the way, where do you say there is something strange in this dungeon?"

I can only shake my head helplessly about his optimism, and I even suspect that this fat man of more than 200 pounds is playing tricks on me! The sudden glare in my eyes was to retaliate against me when he was immersed in hallucinations, and I also used a flashlight to slap him, and I also used a dagger to scratch my arm that was already bandaged at the moment. However, this is just speculation, and there is no evidence.

"Now it is certain that the owner of this tomb is the tomb of Zhao Tuo, the first emperor of the Nanyue Kingdom, so it belongs to the Han Dynasty."

I replied.

"That's right."

The fat man chimed in.

"Then the burial pit that appears before our eyes is the source of the oddity!"

"Holy!"

When the fat man heard me mention the burial pit, he immediately reacted, slapped his thigh and continued in a somewhat incredulous tone: "Damn it! Right! I said I always felt a little unaccustomed! There's a wackiness here!

In the tombs of the Han Dynasty that Lao Tzu went down in the past, there were indeed no burial pits! Could it be that this is not Zhao Tuo's tomb! Is it the tomb of Shang and Zhou? ”

After the fat man saw that the bodies in the three pits were not the bodies of tomb robbers, the tension he had suppressed exploded again. Pointing to the stele in front of him, he said:

"And what is the record of this stele? Could it be that Zhao Tuo dove occupies the magpie's nest? This is a taboo in the tomb! ”

I ignored the fat man's chatter, and based on my preliminary knowledge of him, I dare to conclude that this kid's current series of self-questions and answers were entirely out of concern for the "Yang Suizhu".

The three corpses that appeared in the burial pit and the yellow cloth "Zhenlong Sand" package in the middle of the white bones indicate that the second uncle's people had been here before, and three people died in an accident, as for what the accident was, I don't know, but judging from Aunt Ming's repeated advice and the fat man's hallucinogenic state, these three people should be the same as the fat man did not wear gas masks caused by the accident.

I suddenly remembered the scene depicted in the fresco inside the passage of the cave that entered the place: four funeral processions exiting four gates at the same time, and the actual funeral procession consisted of a sorcerer and four large men carrying coffins, opening the way with huge rat-like animals.

When I first saw the mural, I always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, but now I remember that I once saw a wild history of the funeral scene after Zhao Tuo's death, and his descendants after his death in order to confuse the people who coveted the world for the funeral treasures, opened several city gates, sent several funeral teams to create a false impression, this record is roughly the same as the description of the mural.

Ancient Chinese emperors and powerful people placed a large amount of gold and silver treasures in their tombs after their deaths, and in order to prevent theft, they usually used various tricks to confuse the world. For example, Genghis Khan, the Mongolian Tianjiao, buried his tomb in the vast grassland, filled the tomb with ten thousand horses, and buried a young horse in his tomb for the sake of future generations, and let the mother of the young horse be buried alive with her own eyes, so that the burial place will be remembered by the mare until the mare dies, and no one knows where the world's Tianjiao will return after his death. And Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, also laid seventy-two doubtful graves and carried out a thin burial. To this day, their tombs remain a mystery.

The comparison between the murals and the historical materials can determine that the owner of this underground palace is Zhao Tuo, but I still don't know what the appearance of the burial pit portends.

Just as I was about to explore the surroundings to see if there were any contradictions with the structure of the Han Dynasty tombs, the fat man suddenly shouted!

"Su Mo! Hurry back! ”
