Chapter 15: The Burial Chamber

It seems that the coffins placed by Bibi outside are all tricks, and the guardian is here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

I was found by mistake.

There was a candlestick on each of the four walls, and Da Lei didn't know how long they had been burning, and the faint candlelight seemed to never burn out.

The space inside is not as big as Da Lei imagined, and it should be an ear room when you come here from Yongdao.

The ear chamber is divided into two, sitting west facing east to divide north and south, sitting north to south and east and west. It's a pity that now Da Lei is under the desolate deep soil, and he can't tell where it is.

He is naturally fond of these Shenluo Earth Brakes, Feng Shui ancient things, and he has listened to the commentary from Uncle Zhao before, and he knows a little bit about it, and he is not a person in the "line".

Alas...... Thinking of these, Da Lei couldn't help but miss Uncle Zhao at the moment, he was in his backyard on the day he was arrested, hiding in the pickle jar with Xiaohai, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

The structure of the tombs in each era is different, and Da Lei remembers it somewhat.

The Chinese people re-hid, especially burials.

In the ancient period thousands of years ago, the tombs were mostly deep underground, rectangular or vertical, and there were a large number of slave burials and chariots, horses, etc. The Zhou Dynasty is a sealed earth tomb, commonly known as the grave, the ancient text says: the soil is high and the tomb is called the tomb, and the ancient tomb is not the tomb. Build a mound of earth on top of the tomb and plant trees on it for future generations to worship. In the Qin and Han dynasties, the tomb was replaced by a mausoleum, which was used for the emperor's house, and was called Fangshang, also called the Covered Bucket. It is also the tomb that is rammed with layers, and the tomb is built into a tomb, and the square shape is precious. In the Tang Dynasty, the mountains were used as mausoleums, and the leylines were feng shui. The mountain peak is used as the mausoleum, the mountain is dug and the hole is dug and pecked and grinded, showing the majesty of the emperor. The Song Dynasty was commonly known as Xiaofangshang, which was similar to the Qin Dynasty, but the scale was smaller. However, more attention was paid to wall bricks, and the tomb road was divided into vertical pits, slopes and staircase slopes. The interior is made with many rounded corners and rectangles, and it is customary to carve murals to decorate, and the stone statues in front of the mausoleum are grouped. In the Yuan Dynasty, it seems to have returned to ancient times, with tombs and no graves. The top of the tomb is mostly quadrangular or octagonal, and the two chambers are together, and the couple is buried together. During the Qingming Dynasty, the tomb sealed soil changed into a round shape, and most of them were gray sand tombs. The practice of the ancient tomb ceremony, said: "The rites of life, the rites of death and burial, and the rites of sacrifice are the sincerity of life." The burial goods are also mostly jade, gold and silver. The layout will be created according to the owner's preferences.

But no matter what the era, only high-ranking officials and royalty can enjoy this treatment.

Da Lei walked back and forth in the ear room, thinking about the report of "Loulan, the Disappeared Country".

When he picked it up, the paper was already tattered, and most of the words on it were blurred due to its age, and it took a long time to read it. He had always been very precious about that piece of paper, but he lost it in the Taklamakan Desert. To be exact, on the third day of getting lost, I was angry and impulsively tore it off.

If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have come to this hellish place.

Alas...... Da Lei sighed silently, at this point, what's the use of saying this.

He looked up, and he remembered that it was recorded in the text that Loulan changed its name to Shanshan in 77 A.D., and gradually disappeared after 400 A.D., leaving an unknown mystery after 600 years of glory.

He stroked the wall, although the wall looked the same as the outside, made of mixed sand, but if you looked closely, there was a trace of lines, Da Lei reached out and knocked on it, sure enough, it was a brick.

The carved patterns on the walls are extremely bright, with large flowers competing with each other, and huge leaves and grasses stretching straight up from the roots to the upper walls. Viewed from below, the tips of the leaves stretched out on all sides are intertwined into a flower shape, and the core stamen in the middle happens to form a totem.

A large triangle is encased with seven smaller triangles.

He knows this totem.

It's called Zujuma.

It is rumored that there was a mountain in the ancient Western Regions, located in the northern desert of Niguya. The mountain is high and soars into the sky, whether it is a storm or a sandstorm, the mountain is forever surrounded by white clouds, and the green mist is misty. Nearby residents say that it is the body that remained when the Buddha Kami ascended to heaven, and it is called "Mishan". When the Buddha practiced in the world, he went through the vicissitudes of suffering, and turned his suffering into stone beads to find in the bag, and when he received 19,999 pieces, he became a complete merit and entered the Buddha's door.

The bag was pressed under the mountain, and the totem was drawn on the bag, and a large triangle was set with seven small triangles, which was Zuzhuma, which means the iron ring that blocks the evil spirits.

You can see it here. Could it be that there is a demon inside? But...... Da Lei looked back, the stone door was closed, it was closed, there was no way to retreat, you can't sit still, right?

What else can he do, he shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the other ear room, finding nothing, both rooms were laid out in the same layout.

Da Lei walked through the ear chamber and came to the middle room. I guessed correctly, this tomb is the Northern Wei period of the Later Han Dynasty, and the time happens to be around 400 AD.

Most of the tombs in the Northern Wei Dynasty carried the Han Dynasty system, but due to the war, the economy was seriously damaged, so the style of thick burials will change. Most of the royal family and nobles were brick chamber tombs, and some would have stone doors. Although the area is not as large as that of the Han Dynasty, it is more detailed research. The burial chamber will be equipped with mullioned windows, white jade coffin beds, and so on.

The middle room is more spacious than the ear room, and the walls are likewise carved with patterns, but they are beasts.

The ancient beast with a snake body and a human face, its reckless body winds and undulates, occupying an entire four walls! Its scales were thin and billowing, coiling from the top to the ground.

This beast is a candlestick.

Candle shade, rumored to live under the bell mountain, is regarded as day, dark as night. Blowing for winter, exhaling for summer, not drinking, not eating, not resting, breathing for the wind, thousands of miles long. In the winter of no mine, it is a thing, a human face, a snake god, and a red color. Called God, I don't know it.

The candle shade coiled in an extremely distorted posture, it was a hundred feet long, except for a large piece under the abdomen, which was bare and glaring in the four striped walls.

Why is this piece vacated?

Candle Yin's thick and huge body is obviously beyond the weight of these four walls, so why should there be only one piece left empty? It's obviously already crowded......

In the picture, Candle Yin has a hideous expression, glaring angrily, although it is a human face, he is spitting a letter with a bloody mouth, and his sharp fangs carry a thick killing intent.

The murals reminded Da Lei of his neighbor Qi Fei, who was a university teacher and had many ancient books and a book of mountains and seas. I have secretly watched it many times. Thinking of Qi Fei, Da Lei's heart sank, Uncle Qi couldn't cry on the day he was taken away, he was a lot older, although the people around him couldn't bear it, but no one said anything.

That was last year, and I still have lingering feelings when I think about it now.

Da Lei looked at the lifelike murals on the wall, a little infatuated, it turned out that these really existed.

And across from him, there were four figurines, all with their backs to Da Lei.

As soon as he took a step forward, this figurine turned around in unison!!

Da Lei was startled, clutched his chest and stepped back.

The four terracotta figurines were armed with knives and guns, and their feet were on one side, and their expressions were carved beautifully, as if they were ready to rush at any moment. They have green faces and fangs, and their faces are fierce. The body is human, the face is like a beast, it has antlers, it is like it is about to fall, and it sticks out its long tongue until it reaches the ground.

Soul Suppression Beast!

It turns out that there is such a thing!

It is rumored that there will be all kinds of lonely souls and wild ghosts in the underworld to disturb the rest of the deceased, so the soul suppression beast is to protect the tomb owner from harm.

"Zhou Ji" records that there is a fierce beast called the elephant, which eats the liver and brain of the dead, and there is a divine beast, Fang Xiang, has the ability to expel the elephant, and ordinary people will also make Fang Xiang's stand on the side of the tomb to prevent the invasion of monsters. Therefore, the soul suppression beast is also the evolution of the Fang Xiang clan.

Since it is a spiritual weapon that guards the tomb owner, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The four Soul Suppression Beasts were guarding the Backrooms, where the tomb owner was.

It is definitely not possible to break through hard, the four soul suppression beasts stared at him fiercely, Da Lei had a bad premonition, and clenched the knife in his hand.

The stone door behind it was already closed, and I couldn't get out, so I could only go inside. Da Lei closed his eyes, and silently apologized to the tomb owner in his heart: "If you fall into a difficult place, you are the same mulberry, and the landlord is above the boundless, if you offend and let go, there will be no debt for cattle and horses in the next life." When he opened his eyes, he took two steps forward. The soul suppression beast was not big, only half a meter high, Da Lei knelt down, and coughed three times, and after that, he reached out to remove the bronze beast, but found that he couldn't move.

This bronze beast is like growing on the ground, and no matter how hard Da Lei exerts his strength, he just can't move.

Da Lei was so tired that his face was red, his muscles were bursting up, his hands were rubbed into broken skin, he sat on the ground, took some dry food and water from his backpack, and ate it.

The things in the bag were all packed for him by the sixth child, and Da Lei didn't look at it much. Now there is nothing to do, he pulls inside, the bag does not look big, but it can be loaded, in addition to food, clothes, as well as rope, flashlight, a small shovel with two thin needles, Da Lei guessed that this is the so-called Luoyang shovel. There is also a mirror, the mirror skin is made of iron, the back is engraved with patterns, inlaid with stained glass, colorful and beautiful.

......

"I'm an old man, I'm going to explore the ruins, and I'm not a big girl getting married to do a happy event, what are you giving me this?"

Da Lei picked it up, the mirror was a little worn, but it was very bright, and it could be seen that it had been carefully protected by the sixth child for so many years.

"Not for you!" Lao Liu's mouth cracked, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, this is a good mother-in-law in the past, and I don't know what she is like now, what a big girl with yellow flowers, I just want to be happy, and I don't leave a word for others when they say they will leave after playing." So many years have passed...... I don't know what happened to her, I feel quite guilty. Da Lei, although I don't expect much from you, but everything is not absolute, if you really go out, help me give this to her. ā€

......

Da Lei pulled out of his memories, and he felt strange to himself in the mirror, his face was pale and yellow, his thick stubble was particularly haggard, and his hair was messy. Alas... People are not human, ghosts are not ghosts.

Da Lei put the mirror back in his backpack, and when he looked up, he saw the first soul suppression beast on the left, with a faint glow on its abdomen, which was fleeting.

Da Lei was stunned for a moment, quickly took out the mirror, and looked at the candlestick on the top, and looked at the bronze beast opposite.

Sure enough, the abdomen of the soul beast was illuminated by Da Lei's mirror, and a word appeared.

Most of the characters in the Northern Wei Dynasty were Wei tablets, which belonged to regular scripts, and Da Lei was glad that he could understand them.

It reads: å·³.

å·³, the sixth place of the earthly branch, belongs to the snake.

Da Lei hurriedly ran to the candle yin, when he first came in, he just felt that this mural was carved strangely, and now look closely, there is a small stone bead in the mouth of this candle yin, and it is not carved up, it is actually active!!

Da Lei stretched out his hand and turned it slightly.

Listening to the sound of "brushing", the four soul beasts separated into two columns, making way for Da Lei.

And the gate guarded behind them opened automatically.

Everything came too smoothly, and Da Lei was a little incredulous.

He picked up his backpack and put it on.

Thinking that it was the back room, a place for the tomb owner, Da Lei couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

There was no light inside, it was pitch black.

Da Lei had just taken a step closer, and suddenly, a cold yin wind blew in his face, and Da Lei shivered. He took out his flashlight, and although it was old, the refraction of the light was still very strong. He wrapped his clothes tightly, although it was two rooms in the front and back, there was a lot of difference, the cold air poured from head to foot, Da Lei felt like a snowy winter deep without clothes! You can even hear your own teeth chattering.

Damn, it can't be an ice cellar in there!

He scolded as he stubbornly walked in.

The moment he entered, the middle room behind him seemed to be invaded by a mudslide, and it turned into a plate of loose sand, and it collapsed in a short time, blocked by tens of thousands of sand.

Scold......

Da Lei smiled bitterly, this time there was no way back.
