Volume 1 Eight Coffins Corpse Field_Chapter 38 Human Bone Wind Chimes
I asked, "What are you guessing?" ”
Ma Tan said: "I still remember what I just said, what I said about this auxiliary star: the auxiliary star is Fu Kaiyang, so the success of Zuodou is also the image of the prime minister." Seven political stars, its national prosperity, auxiliary Xingming, then the ministers are strong. Originally, I thought that the person buried in this auxiliary star must be someone who is well versed in celestial phenomena and feng shui. He wants his children and grandchildren to have the same appearance. And the words on this tablet illustrate that. ”
"Who the hell is buried here?"
Ma Tan touched the stone slab, and according to the inscription on it, he said, "This person's name is Wu Baozhang." ”
"Wu Baozhang, I haven't heard of this name."
Ma Tan nodded and said: "You definitely don't know him, but the head of his family is very famous, that is, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi who sat in Yunnan back then." This Wu Baozhang is Wu Sangui's retainer. It was very important to use it back then, and he made great contributions to Wu Sangui. But this person has a low-key life and is a retainer, so it is not recorded in many historical books. Later, during the rebellion of the three feudatories, Wu Baozhang was ordered to go to Guangdong to contact Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and later this person was very good at judging the situation and sizing up the situation, and after arriving in Guangdong, he participated in persuading Shang Kexi to insist on loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, and to contain more than 100,000 rebels in Guangdong and unable to go north wholeheartedly, so as to create favorable conditions for the Qing government to quell the rebellion. Afterwards, he did not return to Yunnan, but stayed in Guangdong. The king of Pingnan knew that he was very talented and had meritorious advice, so he appointed him to supervise Xin'an County, which is now the surrounding area of Shenzhen. He is also conscientious, although his official position is not large, he also has quite a lot of political achievements. Later, Wu Baozhang died in Guangdong and was buried in Rendi. In the tombs we are in, to be exact. ”
After listening to Ma Yan's introduction, I understood a little. At that time, the third uncle said that the feng shui here was a game of eight pythons entangling the dragon, and in the eight coffins, there were extremely vicious murderers who were buried alive, so it was inferred that the person who took a fancy to the feng shui here must be a big man. Now that the identity of the owner of this tomb has been clarified, although Wu Baozhang is not a shocking and complete big man, his status is not low, and he has been an official here for many years, so he has this ability. Presumably he has been by Wu Sangui's side for many years and has seen the world. I also wanted my children and grandchildren to be able to soar, so I chose a feng shui treasure, and it was a dragon vein. But because this dragon is an evil dragon, he found a feng shui master and used the method of eight pythons to entangle the dragon to counteract the evil wind and water of the evil dragon.
Actually, I'm not very interested in the identity of this tomb owner, and I came here just to find the whereabouts of the third uncle and Liang Yue. Hearing that this tomb called Kaiyang Star was called Kaiyang Star, and there might be a so-called auxiliary star tomb next to it, I was impatient to find there.
Ma Tan pointed to the stone slab on the ground and said, "If my judgment is correct, there should be a passage to another burial chamber under this stone slab." ”
Ma Tan said it well, and I squatted down to lift the stone slab in disbelief.
The slate was not very thick, and with a great deal of effort, I opened a crack in it. Suddenly a cold wind came out of the crack, and I shivered.
The underground burial chamber was already very cold, and my body was very uncomfortable all the time. But the cold underneath the slate is even worse
It is exacerbated that it seems that the underneath and above of the slate are completely different from the same two spaces. The slab was more like a barrier separating the two spaces.
However, it turned out that Ma Tan's inference was completely correct. There's really a black hole tunnel down there. Through the light above, a passage can be seen spiraling downward. The cold wind was blowing from below.
I glanced at Ma Tan, who nodded at me. It seems that everything is under his control.
I removed the slate completely, held the peachwood sword, and took a lamp, and walked down the passage first.
The passage was spiraling downwards and was also artificially excavated. About three or four meters down, another burial chamber appeared in front of me.
And at this moment, suddenly a flute sounded.
The sound of the flute I heard this time was different from usual, and the sound of the flute I heard before always felt like something was in between, and it seemed very hollow. And this time it felt close, like it was blowing in my ears.
We heard the sight, and that scene almost scared the hell out of me.
I saw that one of the walls of this tomb was densely covered with corpses.
It's just that these corpses, there are a few dried corpses, and there are a few corpses that have not completely decomposed, which should have been dead for a few years. And Chen Wanli, who once attacked me and Liang Yue, and the female corpse were also hanging in it.
No wonder we came to the underground parking lot again, and we were not attacked by them again, it turned out that they were hanging here.
What's even more bizarre is that in front of the corpse wall, a string of wind chimes hangs, swaying in the wind. I was wondering how there were wind chimes hanging here, and when I looked closely, I realized that what looked like a string of wind chimes at first glance was actually a section of human calf bones.
Looking at the ancient corpses on the wall, they all have a small leg bone missing.
The human bone wind chimes were actually made from the calf bones of those ancient corpses. With the yin wind blowing, the human bone wind chime made a whining flute sound.
The sound of the flute sounded breathtaking, and although it was only a few leg bones, it was intimidating and did not dare to move forward.
This is the human bone flute.
Ma Tan saw the human bone flute he had always wanted to see, forgot his fear for a while, and after shouting, he rushed to the front of the human bone wind chime, looking up at the string of bone flutes.
I never expected that this human bone flute was not blown by a person, but hung here, making its own sound. Then the sound of this flute is too weird, this is a confined space, where does the wind come from?
It is estimated that Ma Jian also thought of this, looked at the direction of the wind chime's swing, and at the same time looked in the upwind direction of the wind chime.
Only then did we discover that the burial chamber was in the shape of a gourd, and that the burial chamber with wind chimes was a small one, separated by a narrow passage, and that there was a larger one.
And the wind that blows the wind chimes of human bones comes from that tomb.
We have traced it from the underground parking lot to this point step by step, and every new discovery makes our hearts hang. On the corpse wall just now, fortunately the third uncle and Liang Yue were not found, and the ghost knows what else to find next.
I gritted my teeth, and without waiting for Ma Jian to speak, I held a lamp and walked towards the other burial chamber.
Ma Tan also tails
Then we passed through the narrow passage and came to the inside of the large burial chamber.
There were a lot of ancient asphalt lamps around the tomb, but the passage was so narrow that we didn't notice the tomb just now.
In the middle of this burial chamber is a coffin.
Originally, it was not unusual to find a coffin in the burial chamber, but what is more unusual is that the shape of this coffin is different.
Normal coffins are all large at one end and small at the other, and the basic shape is almost the same.
But what appeared here turned out to be a turtle coffin.
It is called a turtle coffin because it was carried by a wooden turtle. The coffin seemed to be one with the wooden turtle, and the bottom of the coffin fit the back of the wooden turtle very well, and there was no gap in it, and it was obvious that the two were carved together.
We were amazed not only by the special shape of the coffin, but also by the craftsmanship of the craftsman.
The wooden turtle raised its head forward, its head pointed in the direction of the passage, and it looked vivid and lifelike.
I looked at the strange turtle coffin, which was quite strange, and said, "Is this Wu Baozhang in this coffin?" Why is a turtle still used to carry it under the coffin? ”
Ma Tan glanced at me and said, "Xiao Li, you usually have to study more, it's not terrible to be uneducated, it's terrible to talk blatantly nonsense." ”
"What do you mean, old horse? Am I wrong? I asked.
Professor Strange patiently explained to me: "This is not called a turtle, it is called a stumbling turtle. He is one of the nine sons of the dragon in ancient Han mythology, also known as Baxia. It looks like a turtle and is good for loading. Therefore, we often see it holding a stone tablet in temples, ancestral halls or cemeteries. This monument has very important cultural significance. It symbolizes longevity and auspiciousness, and also carries a status level, totem worship or in some places also has the meaning of witchcraft worship. ”
"Isn't that right? You're talking about a pack stele, this is obviously a pack coffin, okay? I said, waving my hand.
"This kind of turtle coffin has appeared several times in history. When this turtle coffin was unearthed, there was an extremely rare drought at that time. This is also recorded in ancient books, but I don't know if it is related to the excavation of this turtle coffin. And, do you think this burial chamber looks like a temple? ”
Hearing Ma Tan say this, I looked around at the tomb I was in.
Now I noticed the difference, the tomb was artificially decorated into a temple.
On the walls of the burial chamber, there are inlaid stone slabs, and many frescoes are carved on the stone slabs. Underneath are stacked incense burners and ancient dings.
I walked over and found some incense ashes in the incense burner, and judging by the color of the incense ashes, it should not be long before burning incense.
I became more and more confused, and I knew in my heart that I couldn't figure out these things. I looked at Ma Tan, hoping that he would give me a perfect explanation.
Ma Tan opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly heard a noise coming from the turtle coffin.
I was so excited that I was afraid I had misheard. Immediately after, there was another sound, as if something inside had accidentally hit the coffin.
At this time, a yin wind suddenly puffed out from the mouth of the coffin, and the yin wind was very strong and unusually cold. meantime
, the human bone wind chimes in front of the corpse wall outside, there was also a terrifying flute sound.
The source was found, and it turned out that the person who blew the man's bone flute turned out to be the coffin's stump.
But no matter how vivid this piece is, after all, it is a wood carving, how can it blow the wind?
Ma Jian waved his hand: "No, the weirdness should be in this coffin." Come, let's open this coffin and see what it is. ”
