Chapter 12: The Headless King
Yang said: "There is a mysterious carving of the head of the black sheep in front of the door, I think this place may be %%%% pass, if you want to visit the earth fairy, first look for the black sheep, there is a cave inside, it seems that the space is not small, why not go in and take a look?" After speaking, he raised the "golden steel umbrella" to protect himself, put the "wolf's eye flashlight" on the umbrella, and first entered through the narrow passage where the ape's narrow head was piled up, and there was a hole between the two stone walls, and its internal chaos was craggy, and the stalactites were hanging down, and it was a natural cave of limestone accumulation. \\.0M//
I saw that the cave in the "Coffin Gorge" was ominous, and I was worried that she and my sister would miss in front of me, so I hurriedly made a gesture and followed closely with the fat man and Sun Jiuye, the space inside the cave was unexpectedly large, and the limited beam of the wolf's eye flashlight could not immediately explore the surrounding terrain, and I could only see a flat open land in front of me, which was more than ten meters high from the clock milk above my head.
Everyone didn't dare to take it lightly, and formed a team to grope forward, from time to time with a flashlight to shine around, but the light seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, and they couldn't see a few steps away, and the cave seemed to be empty.
I saw a big bluestone like a giant monument, it fell horizontally and slept in front of us dozens of meters of place, there was a tall and strong jade man on the stone, the jade color was red like blood, wearing a robe hooked with a beetle, the head was as big as a bucket, and it was installed on the platform of a white flower in the center, but it was far away to see the face clearly, and I saw dozens of men and women kneeling around as slaves, all of whom were holding lamps, candles, and wine vessels.
We saw that we had found something, so we walked over to see the stone beam first, climbed the stone platform and took a closer look, it turned out that the jade man in the middle wore a copper mask like a copper kettle, but there was no outline of facial features, and there was not even a hole for breathing vision.
Professor Sun said curiously: "Could it be a head burial? As he spoke, he raised his flashlight. I got closer, and I couldn't help but look at the faceless copper head cover, and I thanked the members for the lights.
The fat man stretched out his hand and touched the jade man, it was a pity that he often had to move it back, and he muttered that he would move a jade man's head back to make it, and he raised his hand to pull the jade man's copper mask, but he didn't pull it.
Professor Sun saw that his strength was not right, so he hurriedly stopped it, grabbed the fat man's arm with one hand, and hugged the other side of the bronze face to thank the lantern members, in case the fat man really ripped off the copper wall cover.
I don't think so. As soon as the two competed, they turned the bronze mask in place, and the back of their head turned to the front, Professor Sun screamed bitterly, and hurriedly went to see if the bronze mask was damaged.
Shinley Yang and I, and my sister, who were holding a lamp and candle near Duanxiang in the back, suddenly noticed that Sun Jiuye's body shrank back, and he was almost paralyzed on the ground, so he reached out to support him, and asked, "What's the matter?" "Look up at the same time.
This look is also not a small surprise, why are you surprised? It turned out that the jade man had facial features on the copper mask on the back of his head, and his eyebrows, mouth, and nose were all there. The expression was also attentive, but it was not a human face, but a "black sheep" face, and at this time, the bronze hood was conveyed by the fat man and Professor Sun. In addition, the jade statue is already fat and tall, and this one is like a "black sheep" old demon wearing a python robe.
Everyone was surprised: "Is this jade man a headless king?" Why do you say that there is no head? Doesn't this mean that there is a pig's head? The cave is not like an ancient cemetery, why is the strange jade statue erected? ”
Although the younger sister is bold and clever, after all, she has no knowledge, and it is so strange to see the "black sheep" mask. couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and asked Professor Sun in surprise: "From ancient times to the present, no one in our Qingxi has eaten Wuchen meat, why do you want to pretend to be such a terrifying braincase?" ”
Professor Sun was stunned when he heard this, and asked his sister: "Yaguan, isn't this nonsense?" Isn't it customary to eat black sheep in ancient times? Without waiting for the younger sister to answer, he said to himself: "What a king, there is no head." If you want to see the earth immortals, first look for the black sheep, is it the headless king...... Is it the Black Sheep King?
The fat man just showed that he could succeed, and that he only relayed it, and found that the mask was empty, there was no jade head, and he was unhappy in his heart, and at this moment he saw Professor Sun talking to himself, the content was inexplicable, and he wrote: "The fat man has lived for more than 30 years, and he has never heard of a black sheep king in any country, have you heard of Lao Hu?" ”
I shook my head, I had never heard of the "Black Sheep King", Shinley Yang also said: "I have seen a news, last year Sino-Japanese joint archaeology, in the field to search for the remains of the ancient thanksgiving light members of the hand-toba culture, the location is in Wushan, although there is no investigation, but many times mentioned that the Cubans worshipped the tiger totem in ancient times, but did not say anything related to Wuguan. ”
I saw Sun Jiuye looking at the "black sheep" mask in a daze, thinking that maybe he had found some clues, and was meditating, but don't interfere with him, and saw that everyone was a little tired after walking in the dangerous path of the bird path in the mountains for a day, so I asked everyone to rest for the time being, rest, and then make a decision.
The jade statue wearing the bronze face of the "black sheep" is half sitting on a white platform, I have never taken the ancient "emperor and general appearance" to heart, no matter what he is "Wuguan King" is a demon or not, I said to it; 'You old man has been sitting for thousands of years, while the working people have been kneeling for thousands of years...... Don't you feel ashamed? "I sat next to the jade statue at the moment.
The fat man rode on the back of the stone man kneeling next to him, and talked nonsense with me, and the younger sister sat on the backpack and listened, but we are all discussing some more professional content, and the general layman can't understand, such as whether the jade man is the whole print, or is it divided into pieces and valuable? Without the original jade braincase, is there a lack of artistic aesthetics and collection value?
Just as I was talking about it, I suddenly felt that something was not quite right under my buttocks, and I was about to get up for the next year, when I heard the fat man say beside me: "Commander Hu, seeing that your expression is not yin or yang, is it that King Wuguan's seat is not comfortable enough?" Is it so easy for you to sit in the seat of a senior leader? It must be cold and hard, how do you say that? It's not cold in high places, be careful of running your stomach if you get cold......"
I patted the jade man next to me and said to the fat man, "What is the height that is not cold?" It's like a companion, but don't say it, it's really weird, it's not uncomfortable to sit on, but it's ...... It's so comfortable, kind of like sand
It's a little cold...... But it's not hard. ”
The fat man and the younger sister listened. I think it's strange. In addition to the stone in the cave court, there are stones, even if it is a jade platform, maybe it will be warm jade that will not make people feel cold, but how can there be any sofa?
I myself am even more strange, subconsciously touch it with my hands, the surface is a layer of dust, but the bottom is smooth and soft, like leather and leather, I don't know what it is. Looking down, there were pillow-shaped rectangular white bricks, and the edge was a long black spike, I wondered in my heart, and opened a piece with my hand, dry as hemp, like the hair of a dead man, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Where did so many hairs come out?" ”
At this moment, Shinley Yang suddenly dragged me back, and I saw that her face was not right. Knowing that the situation had changed, he hurriedly got up with her drag, and at the same time held the "stainless steel Emei thorn" in his hand, and looked back at the beam of her flashlight, only to see the side of the white stone platform. At some point, a woman's face was quietly revealed, and that face was not carved from jade, but a zombie face dripping with blood from her mouth and eyes.
I was unprepared, and I felt a chill run down my spine. I felt that the roots of my hair were "rubbing" all at once, and I quickly blocked Sun Jiuye and my sister behind him, and the fat man was also defenseless, and suddenly saw a faceless face dripping with blood under the beam of the flashlight. Inevitably, there was a little mess of the square inch, and he didn't care about copying the "Lianzhu Kuai" behind him, so he was busy digging out the black donkey's hooves with one hand, and smashing the sapper shovel with the other.
Shinley Yang hurriedly said: "Don't panic, you won't move!" "I set my mind. Look carefully at the human head on the side of the white stone platform, sure enough, it is a real dead corpse, its mouth and eyes are open, it looks strange and hideous in the dark, but its face is not blood, but from the mouth is filled with things, I carefully scrape off a little with the Emei thorn, it is all blood-red sand grains, I don't know what was poured when I was alive, the whole cavity is filled.
And it's not just this corpse, the entire white platform under the copper-faced jade man is actually the back of six naked corpses, those female corpses are kneeling on the ground in two rows, some bow their heads, some turn their faces sideways, the terrifying looks are different, but they all expose their backs above, the six female corpses are similar in size, one high and low, like a leather-like soft platform, and the Tairen with a black sheep bronze face is sitting on a soft mat made of dead corpses.
Professor Sun put on his glasses and stared at it for a long time, his face changed color, and he said to us: "There is no need to verify it, I dare to vouch for it with my reputation, this is a human ...... Human orange, a veritable human orange, is recorded in the history books, and I didn't expect that there would be a real thing here! The red sand infused into the female corpse may be used to maintain the flesh and blood after death. ”
Professor Sun explained: "The name of the orange is added by the later scholars themselves, and the real name is not verifiable until now, this thing is indeed there in the slave society era three generations ago, it is said that the last generation of Xia monarch Xia Wei, is a famous tyrant, he is poor and extravagant, and compares himself to the sky, calling himself the sun in the sky, the female slave to lie on the top to be a human orange for him, and the male slave's car, people and horses to ride on his behalf, and so on are all invented by him himself, Later, this cruel system continued for many dynasties, it is said that until the Yuan Dynasty, there was a custom of death from ancient times, and the items that the king enjoyed when he was alive must also be prepared after death...... Corpse orange should be a substitute for human orange in the netherworld. ”
I was furious and asked Professor Sun, "So...... This corpse orange is a burial vessel for the black sheep king? But why can't you see the coffin and corpse of the Black Sheep King? ”
Professor Sun shook his head and said: "I have said it a long time ago, but none of you will listen, this is not at all thanks to the members of the lantern to make the exclusive debut of the ancient tomb hall, but a sacrificial place similar to the dining hall, and his coffin and corpse have long been lost in the tomb of the black sheep king, because ...... Guanshan Taibao has already stolen the ancient family of the black sheep king, and built the earth immortal village in which very large tomb, as a place to hide the truth, if you want to visit the earth immortal, first find the black sheep, isn't it exactly this corresponding? ”
I feel that this matter is becoming more and more confusing, could it be that there was really a "black sheep king" in ancient times? The phrase "What a king, with a body without a head" is the reflection of the black sheep king? I didn't have any clue just now, and in this moment and a half, how did Sun Jiuye know?
Shinley Young told me, "You were sitting in ...... When sitting on the orange, Professor Sun found that the big stone beam underground, full of insects and fish monuments, and many ancient talismans that resemble the sun, moon and stars, I can't understand half of it, but Professor Sun is an expert in interpreting all kinds of ancient characters, and the stone beams are engraved with the legends of the coffin gorge before, although I don't know whether the legend is true or false, but it is certain that there is an ancient mausoleum of extraordinary scale hidden in the gorge. ”
Professor Sun nodded and said: "Yes, the jade statue of the Black Sheep King has not been destroyed, it may be the deliberate work of the Guanshan Taibao, there is a leaderless king, it is the true body of this jade statue, but it should not be called the Black Sheep King, its real title should be "Wuling Yishan King", but you don't think that the Wuling King is a human, according to this ancient legend, the Wuling King is actually ...... It's a stunningly large black sheep. ”
Professor Sun said that this cave was originally a place to sacrifice to the king of Wuling, and the tomb of the king of Wuling should be hidden in the deepest part of the "coffin gorge".
I couldn't understand it, I wanted to ask again, but Sun Jiuye couldn't stop looking at the stone tablet by himself, I had to endure the questions full of questions, and took the fat man to check the terrain around, the cave between the mountains is extremely deep, and the evil wind howling in the distance is like a ghost crying and howling, and it is expected that the cave is passing through the mountain, and there should be an exit to the canyon on the other side.
Finally, when Sun Jiuye extended all the words that recorded the deeds of the "Black Sheep King", it was already midnight, so we had to find a safe corner, light a fire, and stay in the cave that night.
