Chapter 27: The Smell of Light (2)

After the Jing'an Temple and the foreign tomb mountain, the road ahead became a smooth road. Enter an idyllic scene, but the bleakness of winter makes people palpitate. The town's tomb beasts and sweaty horses walked faster than anyone else, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, they came to a wilderness in Qingpu County, and a small hill like a tomb protruded from the flat ground.

Nine Colors stopped.

Is this it? Qin Beiyang got off the horse and asked the local farmers, only to know that this place is called Fuquan Mountain, there was once an ancient temple, it has long been dilapidated, it is said that there is an ancient tomb under the mountain, the people call it the Prime Minister's Tomb, also known as the Yellow Ear Tomb.

"Which prime minister? That yellow ear? ”

Among so many prime ministers in China's past dynasties, the prime minister named "Huang Er" is unheard of!

No wonder, the closer you get to this place, the more the Hetian warm blood jade pendant on your chest will be more inductive - the ancient tomb that Qin Beiyang is going to drill tonight has already been found!

The peasants here were ignorant, pointing to a monument that had fallen in the weeds. Qin Beiyang brushed off the dust on the stele, and then poured it with water, only to reveal a few lines of inscription-

The tomb of the prime minister at the head of Fuquan Mountain, the waves twist around the tomb door, the sun dew and the green maple do not know the way, looking for spring to hang the soul in the tomb.

Look at the font is mostly the Ming and Qing dynasties, but this tomb should not be the Ming and Qing dynasties, the inscription should be left by the descendants, and still can not answer the identity of the tomb owner.

The car of the patrol house in the public concession also arrived, but this place is already part of the Chinese realm, and the patrol house has no right to perform official duties, so it can only wait outside. Suddenly, Sheriff Hilton carefully looked at Qin Beiyang's face, and seemed to remember a few years ago......

"Wait...... I remember your face...... Qin? ”

"It's me, in December 1917, and I've been on your bounty warrant!"

Qin Beiyang smiled indifferently and soon discovered the entrance of the tomb. Nine colors were about to rush in frantically, but Qin Beiyang still controlled it firmly.

"Why does Ah Hai want to preset the battlefield here?" Or Lao Jin thought thoughtfully, "Isn't he the most afraid of the nine colors?" In the depths of the ancient tomb, isn't it where the tomb beast comes in? Wait! ”

Lao Jin climbed up the mountain in three steps and two steps, burned a pile of dry firewood and cow dung, and then asked the patrol house for a spare tire, and threw it directly into the fire. In a few moments, a pile of thick black smoke rose from the top of Fuquan Mountain, like the wolf smoke of the ancient beacon tower, and the black dragon rushed straight into the sky, which could be seen dozens of miles away.

Qin Beiyang grabbed the Luoyang shovel and asked, "Lao Jin, why did you light the wolf smoke?" Because there will be a big war? ”

"Master, at the critical moment, you know by yourself!"

Lao Jin said, carrying the miner's pickaxe, carrying the burden of the "underground palace road", and stepping into the deep tomb.

Taking a deep breath, the air in a large number of ancient tombs was like fresh food pouring into the lobes of the lungs, which instantly made Qin Beiyang's heart feel relaxed and happy, as if "after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn"!

However, Zhongshan smelled blood......

The seventeen-year-old boy who has not yet passed the "underground palace road" exam, except for the fake of the underground palace of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang on Taibai Mountain, has not really entered the real ancient tomb.

The scale of this tomb is not large, and after a few steps of the tomb road, you will see an empty burial chamber. The lantern illuminated the dim flying dust, as well as the five corpses on the ground.

Fresh corpses, joints still soft, still warm, blood stains everywhere. On top of that, the neck of the deceased was cut off by some sharp weapon.

The sign of Ahai.

Who is the corpse? Judging from the pickaxes and hammers discarded on the ground, as well as the broken jars and jars, there are undoubtedly tomb robbers.

However, Lao Jin judged that the tomb was not opened by this group, and it had been stolen and excavated hundreds of years ago. The thief in front of him just happened to come in and take the sheep by hand, but accidentally bumped into Ah Hai's unlucky guy.

Nine Colors found the next tomb door, which was half-open and glowing with a faint light.

Despite the brief discussion, Zhongshan was young and lacked experience in tomb visits, so he stayed behind the entrance hall. Give him a dagger, a quick gun, and a steel crossbow.

Qin Beiyang and Lao Jin entered the door of the tomb, only to see a tattered mess, even crawling with cobwebs, and a broken sarcophagus had already been looted by tomb robbers. There are a lot of broken bones in the corners of the dungeon, I don't know if they are tomb robbers or tomb owners?

"Light!" Qin Beiyang shouted the name of the light in a loud voice, "ひかり!" ”

An empty echo came from the dungeon.

Taking a deep breath, he smelled the scent of light, wafting among the particles of tomb dust, the fragrance of vanilla from the Jungfrau in the Alps......

Lao Jin found that next to the big coffin of the tomb owner, there was a small coffin, which was also broken, could it be the skeleton of a child?

Qin Beiyang curiously shone it with a horse lantern, and it seemed to be a monster - no, it was not owned by humans.

The shape of the skull, vertebrae, and ribs in the coffin seems to be a puppy? It's hard to say what breed, maybe it's the grass dog Shiba Inu, whose scientific name is "Chinese Pastoral Dog"? The body size will never exceed the nine colors in front of you.

"Where's the light?"

This time it was Qin Beiyang who roared at the nine colors, and the town tomb beast walked leisurely to the center of the underground palace and knocked on the ground with his hooves.

He and Lao Jin swept away the broken bricks and tiles, revealing an epitaph. The horse lantern illuminates the text in turn, although it is also a neat regular script, but the pen is obviously different from the "Epitaph of the King of the Southern County of the Great Zhou Dynasty" in the Bailuyuan Necropolis Palace of the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Beiyang learned the way of the gravesmith since he was a child, and his father taught him the basic skills of carving tablets, and naturally he also knew calligraphy and fonts. This epitaph is the font of the Wei tablet, which peeps into the Han and Qin dynasties and descends to the Sui and Tang dynasties. The early regular script remnants of Han Li's penmanship, desolate and tragic, can be called the best of the inscriptions of the past dynasties, and can glimpse the unique beauty of the Wei and Jin dynasties——

After the Jin Dynasty held the envoys, the general of Hebei Dadu Governor Plain Neishi Guanzhong Hou Luji epitaph

The title of the epitaph indicates the identity of the owner of the tomb, and Qin Beiyang noticed the word "Lu Ji".

The first line of the text reads: "Jun Ji Zi Shi Heng Wu County Huating people also Zu Xun Wu Cheng Prime Minister Father against Wu Da Sima".

"Lu Ji, the word Shiheng, a native of Huating, Wu County, grandfather Lu Xun is the prime minister of Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms, and his father Lu Kang is the Great Sima of Eastern Wu."

Qin Beiyang translated it in a low voice. The ins and outs of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is a treasure. Eastern Wu romantic figures, in addition to the great emperor Sun Quan, the first to recommend Zhou Yu Gongjin, and then the Jiangdong clan Lu Xun, attacked Jingzhou, beheaded Guan Yu, burned Yiling, can be said to be the bitter master of Shu Han, forcing Liu Bei to die in the White Emperor City.

The owner of the tomb has been revealed: the great writer Lu Ji of the Western Jin Dynasty, the word Shiheng, also known as Lu Pingyuan.

Huating Valley, Prime Minister's Tomb, Yellow Ear Mound.

Shanghai, known as Huating in ancient times, is also known as Yunjian. Jing'an Temple was built in the era of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu. Lu Xun was named the Marquis of Huating, lived in Huating Valley, and was born to Lu Kang, the general of Eastern Wu. Lu Kang had two sons, one Lu Ji and one Lu Yun, and the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Eastern Wu. The Lu brothers went out of the capital. Lu Yunzi Shilong, met Luoyang genius Xun Yinzi Minghe, introduced himself as "Lu Shilong in the clouds", Xun Yin replied "Xun Minghe under the sun". The two unintentionally "Lu Shilong in the clouds, Xun Minghe in the sun" has become the first couplet in history, and there is no one else like it so far.
