Chapter 0040, Tomb Capstone
Our car drove out at eight or nine o'clock in the morning and returned to Mr. Li's house in Rongcheng, and it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It's been a bumpy ride, and everyone is already tired. Li Dazui took a taxi back to Twist Street by himself. Zhengyang and I had no fixed residence, so we temporarily lived in the old man's house, and Lu Jianguo also settled down together.
I looked at the hair ball, and this guy was actually angry and refused to leave the backpack. I just threw it at the old man's house and put a few pieces of beef for him to eat. I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I collapsed!
At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark, and I was woken up by a knock on the door. Zhengyang's voice came from outside the door, still unhurried, "Boy, let's talk about good things, don't lose your mind!" "Zhengyang is at most thirty years old, and everyone calls me "boy", I was quite unconvinced, but I thought that there would be a place to rely on this bastard in the future, so I agreed casually with a black face.
"Oh! I'm going to get up! I replied casually, washed and brushed, dressed and folded, and it took about ten minutes. Zhengyang was obviously impatient to wait, so he almost broke in, but his mouth was quite clean, and there was never a dirty word. "Hurry up, miss the time, but I'll have to wait another year!" I heard him say this, so I grabbed a backpack and hurried out of the room. Actually, I knew that I was going to fight a few pounds and a few taels, and I was quite scared, so I could drag it out.
"Do you know how to drive?" Zhengyang asked me, and I nodded and said, "Yes!" "We will open the gold cup of Old Man Li, let's hurry!" I sighed and sat in the cab, and Zhengyang sat in the passenger seat. I said hello to the old man and went out. "To Jinji Mountain!" My heart shuddered, and a cool breath came up from the soles of my feet.
Jinji Mountain is a branch of the Beiling Mountain Range of Rongcheng, and the local Zhiyun: "When Qin Shi Huang, the warlock Yun: This mountain has the auspiciousness of the Golden Rooster!" Hence the name Jinji Mountain. "The whole mountain is shaped like a rooster, the mountains are dense, and there are many historical sites. 22 ancient tombs have been excavated, including 2 in the Han Dynasty, 18 in the Southern Dynasty, and 2 in the Five Dynasties. It stands to reason that with so many tombs unearthed in such a small area, there should be no ancient tombs. However, in recent times, it has been rumored to be haunted, and now it is rarely inhabited.
When I thought of this, I muttered in my stomach, could it be that Zhengyang brought me here to see the scenery?
Although Jinji Mountain is located within the urban area, it has been developed as a park. But in recent years, it has been dilapidated, and there are few tourists. I drove directly into the park, and no one stopped the car, and parked behind a peach forest. Zhengyang asked me to fold peach branches together, about eighty or ninety branches.
I followed Zhengyang to a waterhole in Jinji Mountain. The waterhole is surrounded by trees, and a large rock can be faintly seen on the ground to the west, and there is a monster lying on the stone, and the surrounding area is covered with artemisia grass. At this time, it was completely dark and there was not a single tourist in sight. Zhengyang climbed onto the rockery behind the waterhole and took out his compass, as if looking at the feng shui dragon vein. He kept shaking his head, "There are water veins under Jinji Mountain, and there should be dense mountains at the mouth of the water, such as the wrong dog's teeth, the cranes gather together, and the heavy changes are detoured for dozens of miles, and it is good luck to turn back and refuse to leave step by step." It's a pity that although there is a mountain here, but there is no formation of dog's tooth staggering, if you want to revitalize this place, you must build the "Hongqiao" to connect the mountain, in order to form Shuikou sand, into a good place. ”
This goods looked at Feng Shui for a while, frowned slightly, and seemed to be puzzled and said, "This place is a flood vein, and it is difficult to find the veins in the mountains and rivers, and there are traces on the stone, and the officials and nobles are born here." But looking at its local atmosphere, I only feel that it is vicious! "I don't read these kinds of books very much, and I didn't understand what he said at the time. However, I vaguely remember the explanation of the evil qi generated by the flood vein in "The Secret of Maoshan Mountain", just four words: "Great rebellion". So, I told Zhengyang about this record, and he suddenly realized it and explained it to me.
Although the "Collapse Flood Vein" is a good cave, if the people buried in the tomb are executed, or the people who have committed the most heinous crimes, the good cave will become a murderous hole, and there will be a big problem in the cemetery. But Zhengyang said that the tomb was fierce and seemed to be restrained by something.
I asked Zhengyang curiously, "Aren't you familiar with this tomb?" Otherwise, how dare you say that there is my handy weapon inside? Zhengyang said with some embarrassment, "The law is not passed on to outsiders, although I know this tomb in my heart, but some variables are beyond my expectations!" ”
Zhengyang took out some yellow flags from his bag, and the flags were cut out of triangular yellow paper and glued to bamboo sticks. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes meditating, and his mouth reciting incantations. I saw the yellow flag in his hand, and he flew out with a bang, inserted it on the ground, and circled a square. I plucked the flag with my hand, but it was as if it had taken root.
Zhengyang looked disdainful, "Old man Xia's descendants, don't you understand this?" ”
"Are you Captain Jin, or General Faqiu?" I've read a few tomb robbery novels, so I know about these tomb robbing genres, so I moved out and asked Zhengyang, which of course can only fool outsiders.
Zhengyang became more and more disdainful, "We Maoshan Road, how can we use the method of Tufuzi?" The tombs of the ancients are all based on feng shui and earth lines. We Maoshan Dao, we don't even need to be able to be feng shui, just need to sense yin qi! ”
"Is the yellow flag a burial chamber?"
"Yes!"
However, in ancient Chinese, it can mean "yes" or not. Responses like "oh" and "um" and "okay" are now available. This way of answering is really pretending!
"Zhengyang, did you bring it all?" Naturally, I am referring to Luoyang shovels, sapper shovels, mining lamps and other inverted bucket professional tools. Zhengyang saw my mind at a glance, and was even more disdainful, "You want to dig it yourself?" "Yes! How can you get into the tomb without digging? "Alas! Old man Xia is afraid that he will not be able to turn a blind eye! Do you have to dig this bucket yourself? "You are really, how can you enter the tomb without digging, do you use the method of retreat?"
"Of course I went in from the top of the tomb!"
"If you want to enter from the top of the tomb, you must also use the Luoyang shovel to probe the scope of the tomb, and then dig out the earth with the sapper shovel?"
According to the normal procedure, the Luoyang shovel should be taken out before the bucket is poured down, and the approximate scope of the tomb should be judged according to the soil brought up, and the burial depth of the tomb should be judged according to the depth of the cavern. Tomb robbers can make accurate judgments about the situation of the tomb according to the touch of the soil or the Luoyang shovel touching the tomb. After that, mark out the area where the hole needs to be excavated.
"Alas! I'm a good girl! Boy, you go look in the square circle and see what's wrong! ”
I walked to the square circle surrounded by yellow flags, pushed aside the grass, searched carefully, and sure enough, I saw the doorway. There was a white stone in the middle of the circle, and there was a beast carved on the stone, which was lying on the stone seat, and its limbs hung down softly, just covering the four holes in the stone seat. When I walked in, I saw that only a small part of the stone was exposed to the ground, and most of it was buried in the earth. I estimated in my heart, let alone this white stone, there are three or four hundred catties, presumably this is the top of the tomb.
"This stone is too heavy, the two of us will definitely not be able to pull it up!"
"Alas! Are you stunned to read? Can't you drag it with a car? ”
The road from Merlin to the waterhole is enough to drive the car up. It dawned on me that I hurriedly drove the car up, took out the rope from the back seat, tied it to the evil beast, started the car, increased the accelerator, and pulled hard. I heard a thud, and the stone was pulled up. A black hole appeared on the ground, and a burst of yin qi rushed into the sky, and the surrounding air was several points colder.
"Boy, do you know what this stone has to offer? Forget it, I see that you definitely don't understand, so let me introduce it to you! Zhengyang looked at me at a loss, and roughly introduced the white stone and the tomb situation.
The dome of this kind of tomb belongs to the "four-corner coupon type", which appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the early Three Kingdoms, and is mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Its appearance made the four corners of the weakest structure of the original tomb stronger, and the span and height of the tomb increased, so that the tomb no longer became a place to bury the corpse forever, and provided convenience for the repeated opening of the tomb in the era when the wind of joint burial was prevalent. But at the funeral ceremony, it suddenly disappeared after the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The white stone in the middle is called "Zhentianguan" in ancient times, and the modern archaeological term is "capstone"!
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the tombs were generally covered with a layer of wooden coffins on the coffin, and the dignitaries used pine wood, and the princes and nobles used the yellow intestine inscription. The so-called "yellow intestine" is named because the wood used in the title is a strip of cypress with the bark stripped of the bark, and the wood color is pale yellow. The four-corner coupon tomb does not need an outer coffin, and it replaces the wooden theme with a blue brick base. In history, only the Soochow region of the Three Kingdoms period prevailed in this kind of dome-type tomb.
"In other words, this tomb belongs to the Three Kingdoms of Eastern Wu?"
"Hmm!" Zhengyang still had a calm and breezy face, without a trace of expression.
I was about to climb into the tomb from the top of the tomb, Zhengyang hurriedly grabbed me, only to see him take out a yellow talisman, and after reciting the mantra, the yellow talisman burst into flames. Then, he threw the yellow talisman into the tomb, and a flash of fire rushed out, only to be extinguished after a moment.
Due to the long-term closure of the burial chamber, there is a lack of oxygen, and if people enter it rashly, they will be suffocated and poisoned. Tufuzi lit a candle in the tomb, and the yellow charm of Maoshan Technique, in fact, the principle is the same. Use the consumption of oxygen by fire to determine whether there is enough oxygen in the burial chamber.
"That's it!" Zhengyang lowered the rope from the dome, and we slipped down and climbed into the main burial chamber. I turned on the miner's lamp and swept around the burial chamber, where the water was knee-high and bitterly cold!
I poked around the lamp and saw that the top of the tomb was made of green bricks. From the middle of the four-wall foundation wall, the green brick is obliquely built from both ends upwards to form an inverted herringbone wall, and the top is synthesized into a square cone, and the gap in the middle is the "Zhentianguan" that we dragged open! The foundations of the four walls are also made of green bricks.
I took a few steps from the base of the tomb to the middle, and it was as if I had tripped under my feet! I tugged as hard as I could, only to find a force gripping my feet. I shone the lamp into the water, but it was okay not to look at it, but it was so unbearable that I was so scared that my white hair was sweating, and cold sweat broke out on my back.
I saw that a swarthy hand actually grabbed my leg and neck......
