Chapter 10: Coffin Gorge

The "strict and precipitous" place I have seen in my life is not as good as here, even if there are 100,000 troops hidden in this "coffin gorge, there is absolutely no trace of it, if the "Earth Immortal Ancient Tomb" is built in it, outsiders do not know the details and secrets of it, I am afraid that even the gods can not find it. Whole \ Ben // Small \ Say // Net \

I said to everyone, if you want to "search the mountains and find the dragon, divide the gold and set the holes" in this place, I am afraid it is difficult to go to the blue sky, or to find a way to find the "Hundred Steps Bird Road" first, now it seems that the few hints left by the head of the Feng regiment have many correspondences, we are now located in the periphery of the "Coffin Gorge", and then we will go in to see the situation and then make plans, and the improvisation is.

When the fat man heard that he was probably going to go up to this "Thousand Thousand Bird Road", he was dizzy when he looked up, and dizzy when he looked down, it was too high and too dangerous, so he immediately retreated, making excuses that Guanshan Taibao was definitely not in the "Coffin Gorge", or retreating to the Qingxi air-raid shelter to catch the monkey and lead the way, which was the best policy.

I patted the fat man's straw belly and asked him if he had become less courageous lately for pleasure. "Coffin Gorge" this place is indeed "let the heroes of the world, should also be frightened and cold" dangerous place, but if not, "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb" can not be preserved to this day has not been stolen, the tomb owner buried in it is the giant who robbed the tomb in Guanshan back then, which contains so many gold, jewelry and jade, it can almost be said that it is countless, if you Commander Wang does not go to receive it as soon as possible, sooner or later it will become someone else's bag.

The fat man was touched by my words, and when he heard the word "gold, jewelry, and jade", he was even more "shining in his eyes and burning in his heart", and gritted his teeth and made up his mind for a long time. said ruthlessly: "Let me show you today, I haven't retired yet, fat man, I dare to fight, dare to win, if I don't have the courage to let the wind and waves rush and do the Diaoyu Tai steadily, I am not worthy of this inverted career." ”

Everyone packed up and down the body tightly and neatly, and saw that this place was close to the bottom of the gorge, and this dangerous bird path only led to the bottom of the gorge, so they had to go down from the almost vertical cliff bird path, and walked along the road. Found that the ancient walls are full of very primitive petroglyphs, probably thousands of years old, we have seen a few places in succession in the bird road, can not help but look at each other, in those petroglyphs have been eroded by wind and rain in the ancient remnants, are depicted a hellish scene.

The petroglyphs at the ancient cliff cliff are like totems and legends, and the style is strange and rare. Passing down through the thousands of birds, I saw that the mountains were all over the place. I don't know when it has been left to the present, and the situation depicted in it is almost all kinds of horrific disasters, including locusts covering the sun, floods, mountain fires, landslides, and cannibalism between humans and beasts......

I wonder how there are so many catastrophes that destroy the world. All go to Qingxi Coffin Gorge to say hello? It can really be described as "dire water", but I see this criss-crossing canyon, like an old dragon hovering and lurking, the clouds and smoke in the mountains are ethereal, and the cliffs and waterfalls are like the Milky Way falling into the sky. Could it have been a hell in ancient times?

Shirley Young said: "The blood gushing from the rivers, the frogs overflowing, the colonies of lice, the spread of wild animals, the decaying skin, the hail and fire, the locusts descending from the sky, the darkness attacking, and the tragic death of the firstborn are the ten kinds of natural curses recorded in the Bible. ”

Professor Sun disagrees. He immediately pointed out: "Don't believe in gods and damnations spiritually, and speculate on my experience. These petroglyphs are more ancient relics than the Warring States Period, before the pre-Qin construction of the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, Bashan Shushui disasters are frequent, there are mountain fires and floods every time, it is not a legend that is imaginary. ”

I wanted to argue with him for a few words, but the bird path became more and more dangerous, and there was no room for distraction to talk, or to pay attention to the petroglyphs on the cliffs, everyone had to turn their backs to the wall, gradually moved, the fat man was even more pale, closed his eyes and did not dare to look down, all around the vast and vast, all were hazy light smoke and mist, and his body was like in the clouds, not distinguishing between east and west, north and south.

Everyone walked on the chiseled bird road for a long time, suddenly heard the sound of water rolling and thundering at the feet, the cold rock wall was full of water droplets, thinking that it was not far from the bottom of the gorge, at this time walking in the forefront of the shirley Yang stopped, the bird road was cut off, there was no way to go, but the height from here to the ground was only about three meters left.

Shirley Yang said that he could settle down below, so he put down the "flying tiger claws" and let the crowd grasp the stainless steel chain and go down to the bottom of the valley, the bottom of the gorge is a turbulent river, there are many natural bluestone beaches on both sides, just between the dangerous shoals of "rocks piercing through the air, stormy rapids", there are several twists and turns of the stone plank road can be passed.

The fat man was down-to-earth and steady: "Old Hu, where are we here?" The Earth Immortal Land Tomb Museum is hidden in this canyon? ”

I looked around, and the top of my head was full of mist, and the bottom of the gorge was the water vapor splashing in all directions, and as far as the eye could see, it was mostly a mountain full of mist, and I really didn't know where I was, and I didn't know how to answer the fat man's question.

But I heard Shirley Yang say: "Look at the ...... behind" We hurriedly turned our heads to look, and it turned out that the bottom of the cliff behind us was full of fallen gravel, and there were several traces of buildings similar to stone beams and stone doors in the rocks

It seems that there used to be a large stone gate cave at the bottom of the cliff, but it has been completely blocked by falling rocks.

Shirley Yang said: "My sister said that this place is the edge of the Coffin Gorge, and the tunnel of this stone gate may be the path from outside the Coffin Gorge, and we are now at the gate of the Coffin Gorge." ”

Sun Jiuye and I both think that this is the case nine times out of ten, but the "Coffin Gorge" is steep, I don't know if there are any ore veins and mines, it seems that the Qingxi air-raid shelter has not extended in, and the maps found in the town have lost their effect.

After a few words of discussion on the spot, they immediately decided to follow the direction of the stone gate at the mouth of the gorge, and then enter the depths of the canyon to find out, and the dry food we carried with us was sufficient. It can fully meet short-term needs, but the "Coffin Gorge" is isolated from the outside world, and the interior is deep and desolate, I am afraid that it will encounter unexpected dangers, and the equipment is a little thin. Don't be left behind.

The fat man was worried about the "gold jewelry jade" in the ancient tomb museum, so he immediately carried it and opened the road in front of him, and asked Sun Jiuye as he walked: "Ninth master, you first reveal some inside stories to us, is the gold bead pure gold?" To what extent is Baoyu treasured? ”

Professor Sun heard that his words were wrong, and hurriedly said: "You fat man, why do you want to change the hexagram, and you only need Danding." The dragon bone hexagram belongs to me, and the rest is what we discovered together. The credit must be a lot to report it, why did you come up with other ideas? ”

The fat man said: "You nonsense, now the people are in charge, your pigtails have caught me in your hands, it's not that the fat man can do whatever he wants, how can you bargain?" Don't want that work notebook anymore? ”

Professor Sun said, "Okay, good. I just need the dragon bone hexagram and something else...... You can do whatever you like, but in the future, you must not tell others that my dragon bone hexagram is to find land in the ancient tomb, I am not coveting this thing, but I can't bear to bury it in the ground forever, so that I can take this opportunity to get ahead......"

The fat man said, "Sun Jiuye, don't be embarrassed. Isn't it just a few tortoise shells? Do you remember what Mr. Lu Xun said? Isn't it a book to steal a book, Jiu Ye, you drank a belly of ink, and now you go to the tomb to steal the book of heaven, what else is there to be embarrassed about? Just be cheeky and do it generously. Go back and destroy those reactionary academic authorities who look down on people, and let's touch the majesty of Captain Jin for a long time. ”

Although what the fat man said was full of banter. But they all cut the pain of today's illness, and when they heard Professor Sun's face blue and red for a while, he was not embarrassed, and muttered to his heart: "Isn't stealing books from a reader...... Mr. Lu Xun said? He seemed to feel depressed, and couldn't help but sigh at the sky, and suddenly pointed to the air and said to us: "Look at it, look at it, there is really a hanging coffin!" ”

We looked up, and sure enough, we saw that there were many coffins hanging on the cliffs on both sides, which were distributed high and low, and the positions were extremely scattered, and the highest point was so small that there was only one black spot, and the number was so large that it could not be counted in detail, and it was roughly estimated that there could be tens of thousands, which was simply a rare spectacle.

And the deep Grand Canyon, also since then gradually converged, look up, when the head of the cloud sky is only a line, as if we are infinitely far away from the place where we set foot, if a small stone falls on the height, it is enough to take people's lives if it hits the head, between this kind of deep mountains and steep gorges, everyone has the intention of being afraid.

Although I know that this place is called "Coffin Gorge", I am expected to see the hanging coffin hanging on the wall, but at this moment I saw that there are many hanging coffins on the opposite cliff, I can't help but be curious, I stood still and watched for a long time, the fat man wanted to talk to me to climb the cliff to see, what is in the hanging coffin, I said: "The hanging coffin is not a burial, there is no soil for the place to pay attention to, you see these coffins are high above the wind and rain for a long time, most of them are rotten, and the craftsmanship is simple, are the wood cut down by the native people who grow in the nearby primeval forest, directly hollowed out the core, The bones of the deceased are hidden in it, covered with bark coffin plates, there is no valuable "Ming vessel" to accompany the burial, since ancient times, the trend of tomb robbery has prevailed, but few people are willing to steal the hanging coffin, because there is really no oil and water to fish. ”

Professor Sun said: "Not necessarily, the hanging coffin can be divided into three types: cave type, rock crevice type, and pile rock type, and the regular tomb has the same distinction between high and low, this large hanging coffin, belongs to the pile rock type, should be all the poor people's hiding bones............ Do you think it's a little strange...... Why are the hanging coffins concentrated on one side? On the other side, there was not even one ......" Before he could finish speaking, Shirley Young "looked closely at the outlines of the hanging coffins...... Like what? ”

At this time, we are walking to the bottom of the cliff with the hanging coffin, I don't know what Shirley Yang means by this, and immediately look up according to her prompts, just when the clouds in the mountains are open and the fog is dispersed, from this angle, I only see a hanging coffin in the high place, which seems to be suddenly dense, and the outline of the coffin is concentrated, vaguely outlined into a tall and majestic giant figure.

The longer it has been dead, the blur of the large hanging coffin

The wheels are clearer and more realistic. With flat shoulders and hands rubbing their knees, two giant feet stepped on the bottom of the gorge and the water was rushing, but this humanoid silhouette, although vivid, had no head, like a tall and mighty headless god, motionless embedded in a thousand cliffs, and the five of us were as small as ants on the soles of its feet.

I could see God. It wasn't until I felt that my neck was sore and unbearable, and I came back to my senses, and when I saw the surrounding Sun Jiuye and others, they were still looking at the hanging coffins all over the wall with their heads up, and they opened their mouths wide to claim surprise.

These countless hanging coffins are composed of headless figures. If you don't look up from the soles of the Colossus' feet, no matter what other angle you look up. will not appear so realistic, as if the ancients deliberately arranged it in this way, so that everyone who came here looked up and worshipped.

Professor Sun was overjoyed: "The hidden shape in this mystery of ten thousand coffins is majestic and solemn, just like an ancient king, and the outline of the head is missing. also responded to the words that there was no leader, and the head of the martyr Feng did not lie to me......"

Although I was standing at the foot of this headless god-like silhouette, I also knew that these thousands of mysterious hanging coffins had a lot to do with the hints left by the head of the Feng regiment, but I did not feel a sense of joy, but felt the mystery of the "Ancient Tomb of Dixian Village". It's not easy to unravel.

It is said that before the burial of the earth immortal, some people in the family did not believe in his "subtle mystery" and did not want to enter the ancient tomb to become an immortal, so as the head of the "Guanshan Taibao", the earth immortal Zhenjun left a hint to his descendants. As long as you follow this clue, you can enter the "Ancient Tomb of Dixian Village" at any time to refine the form and feather. into a road with the sun and the moon to live together.

Head Feng is the one who holds this secret, but how can such a mystery be easily revealed? He wanted to persuade Professor Sun to abscond with him, so he said one of the paragraphs, the content is extremely limited, only the first few sentences, since we entered Qingxi, we have seen the things corresponding to this hint one after another, there are not only "witch salt veins" in the local area, but also "black sheep stone beasts", and now we have seen a large number of hanging coffins arranged like "headless kings".

Although these clues have proved from one side that the "Ancient Tomb of Dixian Village" is in Qingxi, things are not as smooth as what they see, and the most important thing is that there is no connection between the clues such as "Wu Salt Vein, Black Sheep Stone Beast, and Headless King", which makes people at a loss.

As soon as I told everyone about these worries, even Sun Jiuye couldn't be happy: "This old seal ...... I've been playing dumb riddles for more than ten years, and it's still hard to figure out, and since I entered the Coffin Gorge, things seem to have gone incredibly well, but now that I think about it, I think about it carefully...... None of the clues found worked. ”

I nodded, "I did make the mistake of blind optimism...... In the past, I always felt that Guanshan Taibao was a landowner, what was it worth? Now it seems that I am afraid that I really have some clever skills in hand. "My mind is a little confused, seeing that the mountains and rivers in the canyon in front of me are heavy and watery, and there are no clues to find, I can't help but be a little anxious, but fortunately, there is also Shirley Yang, who understands the help of ideas, Yu See, according to military regulations, the staff officer has the right to make three suggestions on the specific decisions of the commander, don't waste it.

Shirley Yang looked at the cliff and thought for a while before saying: "All the assumptions and speculations are based on the fact that the hints left by the head of the Feng regiment back then are true, I think the silhouettes of the witch salt veins, the black sheep stone beast, and the headless king are all real monuments in the Qingxi area, from this point of view, it can be completely ruled out that this hint is an obscure riddle such as anagrams and hidden poems, most of which are related to an ancient legend in the local area, and the entrance to the ancient tomb of Dixian Village is hidden in this legend." ”

Sun Jiuye said: "What Miss Yang said is reasonable, to the point, but what kind of legend is this?" The figure of the king composed of the hanging coffin on the ancient wall must imply that the first sentence mentions the headless king of the earth, but its headless king is only the totemic remains of the ancients who left the town of mountains and towns, or did there really have such a king in ancient times? ”

What Shirley Yang and Professor Sun have just said is nothing but enlightens me a lot, excluding the implication that the content mentioned is a riddle, but from the perspective of an ancient legend, these seemingly incomprehensible words may contain content that is neither a legend nor a riddle.

I asked from my heart and turned those hints in my mind a few times, "What a king, with no body and no head; If the lady does not come, the mountains will not open; Burn the wood and boil the liver and lungs; digging wells and cutting salt, asking ghosts for money; The bird road is vertical and horizontal, with nine times in one hundred steps; If you want to visit the earth immortals, first look for the black sheep......" I raised my head again and carefully looked at the countless hanging coffins on the cliff, my heart flashed, and I suddenly thought of the most important, but never able to attract attention, this hint of looking for the entrance of the "Earth Immortal Village Tomb", the mystery contained in it must be here.

I secretly scolded myself for being more and more confused, and I always ignored such an important thing, and hurriedly asked everyone: "What is the best thing about Guanshan Taibao?" ”
