Chapter 21: The Laughter of the Lord's Tomb

In order to record the life deeds of the tomb owner, the ancients generally adopted the method of "combining calligraphy and painting", and the first mural of the dome was first engraved with a lot of small seal styles, but unfortunately I and Lao Zhong were illiterate and did not know these ancient characters, but Ge Zhuang observed them in a similar way, and his mouth has been silently chattering.

I poked Ge Zhuang on the waist and asked him if he knew these small seal characters? Ge Zhuang dodged and said Little pumpkin, don't tickle me, my family is a scholar, and I have been learning ancient characters since I was a child. Lao Zhong said, "Do you see what's coming?"

Ge Zhuang said, "No, I only recognize a small part, and I don't know what it means to be together." "The old clock was almost angry, saying that since you can't understand it, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending?

Ge Zhuang was serious for a while, and said that although my fat master only knew a small part of them, he could still roughly guess some of them by combining these murals. I asked Ge Zhuang to speak quickly, he pretended to rub his belly, and then pointed to the content on the mural, and said,

"This is recorded like a myth and legend, ancient get along, there is a sea dragon king living on Dujiangyan, knows magic, and is an evil dragon, he likes to turn over the river and the sea to make waves, oppress the kind and toiling people, this evil dragon can also spell, you see the dragon painted on the second mural, it should be the evil dragon!"

I extremely doubt the authenticity of Ge Zhuang's huge words, what oppresses the good and toiling people, could this be said by the ancients? Ge Zhuang said that you just have to listen to it, I am not Chen Yun's sister, do you know how to comprehend the spirit?

Then he continued, "After that, there was a great hero in Shu County, who led the army to cut down thorns and scarves, and killed the evil dragon, and the evil dragon turned over the river before he died, causing a monstrous flood to flood thousands of hectares ......of fertile land, and then the great hero led the local residents to build bridges and pave roads, and fought against the flood together."

Ge Zhuang said that he would not talk about it here, looked down at me, and said with a shocked face, "Little pumpkin, could it be that we really cut Li Bing's tomb?" ”

The ancients recorded their life deeds, generally using the Spring and Autumn Period, the record is not detailed, all the heroes who were highly respected by the ancients, after death, they will basically be worshiped as gods, always like to be linked to some myths and legends, thick ink and heavy dyeing, make it mysterious and mysterious, what Gaozu beheaded the White Snake uprising, Dayu was born by his mother stepping on the footprints of giants...... This is also one of the major features of our Central Plains.

In fact, in ancient times, there was no so-called god in the world, and some were only "saints" who made certain contributions to human civilization.

And the deeds about the saints have been passed down from generation to generation, and eventually underwent evolution, and they have also been given a veil of mystery, and they have been pushed to the altar in modern times.

Therefore, the record recorded on the mural about Li Bing's killing of the evil dragon is almost negligible, but the information revealed later is very important, there is only one great man in Shu County, that is, Li Bing who built Dujiangyan, it seems that we are really entering the tomb of Li Bing in Shu County this time.

Seeing this, I sighed and said that Li Bing is also a great man of a generation, since it is his tomb, let's be polite, don't take too much, anyway, the bronze utensils of the Warring States period are worth a lot of money, just take out one or two pieces is enough for us to live a rich life, this is a man, or don't be too greedy.

Ge Zhuang said what are you afraid of, this tomb was not dug open by us, it was visited once before the brothers came down, and we can be regarded as missing at most.

I said fatty, no one should have come in this main tomb yet, the fork in the road we found outside before was a special trip to bypass the main tomb, it seems that the leper head three is not a person who disregards any principles in order to make a fortune, just rush this, we should also let him go.

Lao Zhong shook his head and said that he was afraid that it might not be, they didn't dare to enter this main tomb before, there must be some other reason, don't care so much first, and then look for it, Li Bing is a Shu County Taishou and a feudal official, it is impossible to be so poor that there are no burial goods, we don't need to take more, just take one person away.

"Well, fatty, don't get too far away!" With a sense of reverence for the ancients, we did not intend to destroy the structure of the tomb here, and even walked a little lightly, for fear that there would be traps buried in the tomb, and because we did not want to disturb the tomb owner's sleep.

Everyone will have some awe, Ge Zhuang and I have always scoffed at those emperors who are known as "first saints and emperors", but we have a certain awe for people like Li Bing, after all, he does not belong to the cruel exploiters of feudal society, and has made great contributions to our people.

"Hey, there's a bottle here!" Lao Zhong and I were looking along the entrance of the tomb, and soon we heard Ge Zhuang's cry from the ground, and hurriedly walked towards him, and found that Ge Zhuang was holding a kiln-fired wide-mouthed porcelain vase in his hand and looking carefully.

"Fatty, show it to me!" I took the bottle from Ge Zhuang's hand, leaned into the light and took a closer look, and immediately determined that seven or eight points, this bottle must be an item from the Spring and Autumn Period, and immediately said with a smile, "Fatty, after pouring so many buckets, this will finally be our search for treasure, this thing is worth a lot of money, after selling it, it is enough to take care of the rations of the three of us for a lifetime!" ”

Ge Zhuang scratched his neck, puzzled, and said Little pumpkin, there is nothing unusual about the bottle when I look at it, and it is not as good as the fifteen yuan bottle burned out of the magnetic kiln, how can you be sure that it is so valuable?

I scolded him with a tiger face, saying that this is an antique from the Warring States period, can it be the same as the kiln-fired products unearthed last week? During the Warring States period, the productivity was not developed, and it was not possible to make dyed porcelain bottles, and the things made by the people of that era were very used, not for ornamental value, and this is not a bottle, according to my estimate, it should be a vessel used by the ancients to hold soup when they set up banquets.

"That's the guy who eats, huh?" Ge Zhuang smashed his mouth, and said that the little pumpkin is not strange if you think it is strange, a "bowl" used by the ancients to hold rice can be worth millions today, and those who love antiques have funny brains, and I don't know what they think.

I amused the fat man, and said okay, you hurry up, and see if we have time to turn it into an antique when we are old.

As he spoke, the old bell had already opened the zipper on the rucksack and stuffed the bottle made of clay into it, Ge Zhuang reminded the old bell not to make too much effort, it would be worthless if it was broken, and it was not easy to find such a broken earth kiln jar, we had to wait for its ancestors.

As I was talking, I suddenly noticed a cold wind that I don't know where it came from, it was cold, and it made my spine shiver, and before I could find out the source of this cold wind, Ge Zhuang and Lao Zhong also felt the sudden colder breath, and looked at each other in surprise, and saw that the torch we brought was actually being extinguished little by little at a very fast speed!

As soon as the tongue of fire dimmed, the tomb fell into a deep and gloomy place again, and at this time, I don't know where a wind came from, mixed with it, and there seemed to be a sneer.

Hehe......

It was clearly a woman's laughter, and it seemed to be far away, as if it was floating in my ears.
