Chapter 14: The Dumb Courtyard

Chapter 14: The Dumb House

Although I knew in my heart that what Lan Shan said was for my good, I couldn't say that we were in partnership with a tomb robber right now, and this guy would leave on his own in a few days! Isn't this going to be a shooting yourself in the foot? Just when I was thinking about how to solve the matter in front of me. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Lao Hei walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter, I'm not happy to find the tomb, why do you look sullen?" ”

"Huh! It's fine, it's just that I have something on my mind, thinking about going into the tomb tomorrow. What do you think, I'd like to hear your thoughts? I asked.

"This kind of tomb is called the Dragon Tower Treasure Hall in Feng Shui, it belongs to the Lian Zhen Star in the Nine Star Heavenly Palace, and the people hidden in it are very likely to be princes and nobles, and it can't be an emperor, but the most likely is a prince or something. Because this kind of tomb is not a rare feng shui, but in the land of the ancestral dragon, at least it will be blessed by the ancestral yin virtue. However, I still have a question in my heart, this Liao country has been active in the northeast back then, how can it appear in this southwest region, I have never understood. "The old black asked me.

"In fact, after the Jin people were defeated by the Jurchens, they were exiled to the Mongolian area, but I checked in some historical documents, and found that there was a team of Yelu Dashi who moved westward but was lost on the way, and it was supposed to walk in batches, and reintegrate in the Mongolian generation after leaving, but Yelu Dashi's youngest son was scattered on the way with thousands of men and horses, and it is very likely that he came to this southwest region, and there is no record of how he died later. But the reason for this will not be known until we enter this burial chamber. But what do you think about entering the tomb tomorrow? I explained to the old black.

The old black touched the slight beard on his chin, and then said, "I see. Actually, I know a little bit about history, but I don't know as much as you doctors and professors. I think it's just five people going to nine tomorrow, originally our line of work is a rooster crow and don't touch gold, but you don't care about these things. But once there are more people, then it is very willing to have too much yang energy, so that the ancestors below blow up the corpse, then it will be troublesome! You can decide who you want to go to, and everyone else just needs to answer on it. ”

Lao Hei said very reasonably, so when many people are buried in the tomb, the tomb must be sealed, especially to prevent cats and snakes and rats from being included in the tomb, and there have been zombies in the past. So on the second day, I only arranged for Lan Shan, me, Lao Hei, Yang Cheng and an associate professor Liu Qiushui who had been with me for a long time to go to the grave.

In fact, everyone also knows in their hearts that we are likely to encounter a lot of dangers inside after we go down, and this is also to protect them. And after we eliminate the danger, we will also let them go down to carry out the aftermath work, everyone is only the difference between early and late.

I only saw a small sparrow that Lao Hei didn't know where to catch, a simple bird cage, slowly descended into the corridor, and after three or four minutes, Lao Hei beckoned to me, saying, "The air inside is safe, let's go!" Let's go and see the power of this ancient tomb of the Liao Dynasty. ”

At this time, we entered the Yongdao with Lao Hei, and in the Yongdao, we can see the appearance of the inside showing the appearance of a yurt, arching up to see the top of the head full of heavenly fire glazed roofs, and bags of dragon oil are sealed inside, we are careful when walking, for fear of accidentally touching the mechanism.

The walls on both sides of the road are all blue bricks, and there are exquisite murals carved on them, the colors of the murals are bright, and they are very well preserved, but most of them are painted with Bodhisattva Buddha statues, and the lines are beautiful and the painting techniques are different from those of any dynasty. This is very likely that the tomb owner believes in Buddhism, this phenomenon has been in Qianlong's Yuling, there have been eight Bodhisattva statues, there are carvings on the left and right of each tomb door, one side is Manjushri Bodhisattva, holding a sword, the other side is Fuxian Bodhisattva, holding a demon pestle, the appearance is very majestic and dignified.

However, the royal mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty is generally imitated in the shape of the Ming Dynasty, generally has the Ming Tower, the floor is the square city, and there will be a ticket gate in the center of the south of the square city, also known as the ancient cave gate.

"Now we are in the position of entering the 'Crescent City', and in front of us at this time happens to be a ten-meter-long blue brick ticket. In fact, this so-called city is named after a crescent moon with a plane, but it is actually a small courtyard, commonly known as the 'dumb courtyard'. "I'll explain it to you.

"Teacher, why is this place called the Dumb Courtyard?" Yang Cheng asked

"The reason why it is called 'dumb courtyard' is actually related to the construction of the tomb back then. It is said that each dynasty was roughly the same, and in order to build tombs for safety, only craftsmen who could not speak were used to construct them, and even if they could speak, they were asked to shut up and pretend to be dumb, otherwise they would surely be killed. So there is the saying of the Dumb House, in fact, in the building the dumb is just a figurative statement, meaning a place that no one will notice, or an inconspicuous place. The murals on this kind of road are the treasures of our country's history, and we must let the students deal with them well, don't break them! I said to Yang Cheng.

At this time, the five of us slowly passed through the corridor, and there was no mechanism in it, and a huge stone gate appeared in front of the end of the corridor. It looks like it is about three meters high and 1.5 meters wide, and the thickness is likely to be the same as most of the previous tombs, with a stone door of 0.19 meters, and it can be seen that the two doors are carved from a single piece of green and white jade, and each door weighs 3,000 kilograms. And this form of the giant door, there will be a large 5000 kilograms of square integral copper pipe fan behind the back, the heavy stone door is generally not pushed by ordinary people, just so that the tomb owner can not be disturbed by the outside world after death, and enjoy peace forever.
