Chapter 24: Into the Tomb
Zhang Junjie didn't have any other expressions, he knew that this was retribution, and he admitted it. Now he was looking at Qin Zitao expectantly.
After almost an hour of rest, there were still people sitting in a pile to catch up on sleep. During this period, Qin Zitao and Jian Jue also had the younger brother of the house master, because of their small eyes, they called him "mouse" and went to buy a chicken together.
The rooster was caught and began to bleed, the chicken blood was almost sprinkled in a circle, while sprinkling, Qin Zitao was chanting in Chongqing dialect: "Don't blame, don't blame, we are all hard-working people, and it's not easy to survive." These are from the local village, just come in and get something left by the ancestors. The others don't have any bad intentions, they are all for survival and a little money. ”
Then Qin Zitao asked people to put white wine, melons and fruits, and kowtowed a few times to the tomb. Finally, set off firecrackers and use firecrackers to go to the yin qi of the tomb, which is also to sacrifice the owner of the tomb and give respect.
Before entering, Qin Zitao made an agreement with them in three chapters, "You can go in and get things, you can take valuables, but don't smash the bottles and cans placed by others." The tomb is also known as the Yin House, corresponding to our Yang House, it is another world, Yin and Yang are separated, don't talk nonsense inside, respect the owner of the tomb. Don't move the corpse, you must call me when you open the coffin, there are more rules here, and if a few big brothers and uncles have to do other things in the future, they will accumulate more virtue. ”
The others nodded their heads again and again, not daring to disobey.
Qin Zitao said that there are some collapses in front of the road, and the bottom is all soil, which can be used to step on the feet. So whether it's going down with a rope or jumping straight down, it depends on everyone's ability. Then they gave each person a stick of incense, and they went into the tomb alone or took the incense and smoked it.
When it comes to entering the tomb, several people are eager to try, and everyone is afraid. After all, this has only been seen on TV and in novels, and the real tomb is impossible for ordinary people to enter in their lifetime. You said that there are tombs to visit in the tourist area, and that is also the empty shell of the tomb that the archaeologists will show you after cleaning up.
They found a stout hundred-year-old tree, and tied the rope to the trunk and knotted a few buckles.
Zhang Junjie had to go in first, and Qin Zitao dug the hole bigger for air circulation. Qin Zitao said, don't stay too long, otherwise your life will be in danger.
"It's down! Safe. Zhang Junjie's slightly echoed shout came from below.
"Okay, next, one by one." Qin Zitao commanded from above.
The rat also went down, and he called out to another: "Old Jin, it's so gloomy down there." Ha.... ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Fang Shi reminded with his hands behind his back.
After the yellow-haired young man went down, he exclaimed, "Wow, I can't straighten my back here." ”
Qin Zitao went down, he said: "It's very narrow below, wait for me to see for myself, and then decide how many people will be safe." ”
When Li Zhonglou heard this, he put on his bag and wanted to go down: "Jian Zhu you wait on it - Xiao Tao, I'll go with you." "After all, it's a child, Li Zhonglou won't be at ease.
After Li Zhonglou went down, he looked around the situation in the tomb in a strange way, and really felt a sense of suffocation. There was a dark light all around, and the people above were "buzzing" and indistinct. It was only five meters deep, but it seemed to have been dived dozens of meters underground. The main thing is that it is still stuffy, and I feel that the air will be gone after a few more people.
He and Qin Zitao bent down and walked forward, walking about ten meters away, the strong flashlight found the front, but it suddenly opened up, becoming more and more open. It turned out to be a hall, divided into three corridors. Seeing that there was a fork in the road, Qin Zitao swallowed his saliva, "Brother Li, this tomb, may surprise us." ”
"But we don't rob graves."
"My eyes are itchy."
"No, let's go back and inform the others." Li Zhonglou pushed Qin Zitao with some amusement and told him to go back quickly.
After going back, a group of people all came down, and they all brought a lot of lighting tools, and the tomb road was illuminated brightly, even very dazzling. Qin Zitao scolded: "A strong flashlight is enough!" So much for a party! Also grave jumping! ”
A group of people were not angry but laughed, "This kid is small and has a big temper." ”
Fang Shi glared at them, and the rest of them fell silent. Qin Zitao and Jian Jue took the lead in the front, followed by Master Fang and the apprentices he brought.
Walking to the bifurcated three-section Yongdao intersection, several people happened to be standing in the lobby.
Qin Zitao said to Jian Jie: "I have never seen such a cliff tomb, but since it is the tomb of the ancient king, it is not strange to have three sections of Yongdao, let me go to illuminate the Yang Dao lantern." ”
In the southern custom of tomb robbing, when entering the tomb, a lamp must be drawn at the front of the tomb. The lights should be kept on, for fear that the people behind them will get lost in the yin house and break into the unspeakable realm. Qin Zitao found a hole in the wall and put the flashlight in it.
"This everlasting light is the real immortal." Qin Zitao grinned and said with a smile. Jian Jue patted his head wide speechlessly, "Be serious!" A group of people depend on you for their lives. ”
"Master Fang, which way shall we go?" The yellow-haired young man named Lao Jin was asking,
Master Fang slowly raised his eyes to look at Qin Zitao and asked, "Little master, are you anything particular?" ”
Qin Zitao said casually: "What's the matter?" If you look good over there, go over there. ”
The others stared at Qin Zitao with shocked eyes and asked Qin Zitao vigorously, "Little brother!" Isn't there a mechanism? What should I do if I encounter zongzi? ”
"It's been thousands of years, big brothers, and some of the organs have rotted, and the bones are all a pile of bones... Huh? That's not right... Didn't the grandfather of the Xu family occupy this tomb? Why is there no trace of the tomb door being opened? Qin Zitao asked Zhang Junjie, Zhang Junjie was more confused than him, and stared at him with big eyes.
Even the master said: "My master said plainly that Xu Baoqian dug the mountain gate by himself and moved his ancestors to the graves. But what the little master said is right, I don't see any traces of the second transformation in the tomb. ”
Qin Zitao carefully checked the chisel marks on the tomb wall that the ancients had densely chiseled with tools, or the original stone wall. He frowned and asked Li Zhonglou, "No... Yes... Did I make a mistake? ”
"Huh?"
"Am I looking for the wrong grave?"
Unexpectedly, the master shook his head, "You found the wrong one, and I also found the wrong one?" How could it be such a coincidence. ”
After that, Qin Zitao didn't think much about it, put on his gloves, and used a flashlight to illuminate one of the corridors, and there was a hurdle at the entrance to the corridor, which was convenient for drainage, and it seemed that there were ceramic drainage pipes underground.
Qin Zitao pointed to one of the Yongdao, "Let's go here, look at them one by one." You can always find a good one. ”
"Yes, yes, take some big blue and white porcelain from the Han Dynasty." Old Jin said to another young man.
Fang Shi and Qin Zitao turned around at the same time, and Lao Jin was still at a loss, what happened to the people next to him. The talent next to him reminded: "Where did you go to find blue and white porcelain in the Han Dynasty?" ”
"Huh? Then look for other porcelain. ”
"Where the fuck are the Han Dynasty tombs to find porcelain for you!"
"We don't even have porcelain, what are we looking for?"
"You're stupid, there must be bronze and jade!"
"Huh? Aren't bronzes out of print? ”
"I..." The young man with long bangs who answered the question wanted to hit the wall, covered the upper half of his face and waved his hand, "Don't talk to me, you go to the ghost to talk." ”
"Where do I go to find ghosts? Behind you? ”
Fang Shi and Qin Zitao squinted at them at the same time, "It's a bit taboo, okay?" Qin Zitao sighed.
Jian Jue whispered to Li Zhonglou, "What kind of master is that, how can he bring this group of apprentices?" ”
"I don't know, let's keep walking."
When they arrived at a burial chamber with an ear chamber, they looked around with a flashlight. It was found that the coffin had been broken in half due to the earthquake. In the corners of the burial chamber were some clay pots, urns and pots, and there were many copper coins scattered on the ground. There are two niches in the wall with rings of iron in the niches.
The copper coin face was still quite clear, and they quickly picked it up one by one, and they all knew how to wear gloves.
"There are so many copper coins in this kind of tomb that they are worthless." Qin Zitao muttered, he seemed to have something he wanted to see more.
Fang Shi spoke: "Take a few and go, we have to look at the others." ”
"Wow, what about this jar?"
"It's worthless, please go."
The group of them talked and laughed, Zhang Junjie kept silent, he was a little scared. It's not that I'm afraid that there will be a ghost in the tomb, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the talisman and my family will still suffer from it.
I walked through a few burial chambers, most of which were pottery, which disappointed everyone.
However, Qin Zitao didn't think so, "It's just that we found the wrong location, and this tomb was not stolen." "What's more, in the years when Xu Bao was a warlord, there would be no shortage of good things to be looted.
They came to the end and went back to another road.
The flashlight at the entrance of the hall was still on, giving others an inexplicable sense of security.
They entered the middle corridor and found that this corridor was wider than the one in front. This time, Qin Zitao walked in the front and saw his "surprise". "It's... Be.... That's it, yes! Qin Zitao stammered excitedly, everywhere he swept the flashlight was the lintel of the carved beams and paintings, the door frame, and the row of exquisite and atmospheric tiles on the door beam, carved birds and beasts, and a hundred flowers bloomed. Outside the tomb is so magnificent, it is like a wealthy mansion in the yang world, no wonder the ancients called this "Yin House", it is really exactly the same.
"This tile is highly collectible." Qin Zitao smiled, he was looking at the ground, and there were also pictures of carving some farmland operations, there were fish, as if there were turtles.
Others were also amazed, and today was an eye-opener. I just looked at so many simple tombs, and I thought that the level of the Han Dynasty was like this. But here, the seven-meter-wide door frame is so atmospheric, I don't know what it looks like inside.
