Chapter 22 Mother and Son Camel
Since ancient times, digging graves is a crime that damages yin morality, and the first article in the ancient law is also "the crime of digging graves is unforgivable", and it is even more so in modern times. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If the living want to take care of us, we can't do anything, whether we are squatting on the fence or being shot, we can't be the master, but now this is the tomb of the ancients, it is better to give the ancients some face.
The rooster and black dog we brought with us were originally used to sacrifice to the owner of the tomb, hoping that he would raise his noble hand and "lend" us some treasures, and we would also give him a chicken and a dog, which would be considered a gift in return. But just now down to this grave, there is no way to bring the rooster and the black dog down, just now when digging the soil vaguely heard a rooster scream, I am afraid that it has been the black dog's "poisonous hand", but it is good to die, the rooster is noisy along the way, it can be regarded as karma.
The dog is very spiritual, don't look at it just bought, and Halbara is very close, there is no chain along the way, just obediently follow us all the way, we kneel down to pray when hope also peeked at it a few times, although it will not kneel and pray like us, but it is also very honest to sit next to it, waiting for the owner.
I asked Halbara to find a way to get the black dog down above, and Halbara put his hand in his mouth and whistled, and the six-meter-high dirt slope did not affect the loudness of the whistle at all, and as soon as the sharp whistle sounded, the black dog outside the grave gave a response, and even the rolling belt climbed down the slope with the slowest slope!
I told Mazi to take out the military dagger he was carrying, slaughter the black dog, and use the dog's blood to pay tribute to the souls of the dead in this tomb. Mazi has always been a bold lord, and he has said before that anyone dares to kill anyone in a hurry, let alone a dog.
Mazi put the dagger on his lap, squatted down, clapped his hands and called the black dog to himself, took out a piece of cooked mutton from the bag and threw it to it, the black dog wagged his tail and was ready to eat the meat in his mouth, but he had already been pressed to the ground by Mazi, and the weight of two or three hundred catties was pressed on the black dog, and the black dog was half dead without waiting for the knife.
The black dog is very thin (maybe the thin dog is cheaper), but there is still a lot of blood shedding, I saw that there was already a pool of blood on the ground, so I asked Mazi to quickly drag the black dog to the door of the tomb, let the dog blood flow there, strive to flow more, don't waste it.
Mazi carried the two hind legs of the black dog to the door of the tomb, did not put it down, let the dog's blood flow down, and the entire tomb door became bloody in a blink of an eye. Shaking off the dead dog in his hand, it seemed that the blood had been drained, Mazi placed the body of the black dog next to the tomb door, and bowed to the black dog: "Don't blame us for being ruthless, this may also be your fate, rather than dying in our hands, it is better than dying in the hands of those butchers and letting others slaughter and become a meal on the plate, right?" I don't know if you can understand what I said, I hope you have a spirit in the sky, bless us with peace and security, smooth and smooth to enter, and then peace and security, smooth and smooth out, and when we come out, we will definitely not treat you badly, build a good tomb for you, and let you be born in a rich and noble family in the next life, ah no, rich and noble dog family! ”
I scolded in my heart, this kid is really fucking nonsense, he has so much to say with a dead dog, if he marries his daughter-in-law in the future, his daughter-in-law will have to let him grind half to death. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, I reached out and patted him on the back and said, "The dog can't be resurrected after death, so mourn!" If you have anything to say, come out and talk about it, don't waste time now! ”
Mazi glared back at me and said, "You old Xu, you don't know how to be grateful, this black dog gave up his life to keep us safe, why can't I tell it to say?" ”
When he said this, I scolded even more, you fucking know gratitude again, why don't you know gratitude when you started the knife just now? Seeing that he was serious, I had no choice but to respond: "It's me who is wrong, I don't know Entu, when it comes out, I'll dig a good grave for this black dog, right?" ”
The argument finally came to an end, and I asked the two of them to check that the gas masks were properly worn, this thing was not child's play, and if there was poisonous gas in the tomb, it would be a precautionary measure.
Everything is taken care of, we are ready to go into this tomb for a walk, according to the old man's words, it is into the ancient tomb, don't mention the word "ghost", because this thing is very evil, as if you always mention mentioning ghosts, this ghost really thinks that you are looking for him, maybe something strange will really come out, I am afraid that the pockmarked mouth is not honest, and it is taboo to go in, and I emphasized this point again before entering the tomb.
The three of them entered the burial chamber, and Mazi still walked in the front with the lit ash in his hand as before, I was in the middle, and Harbara was at the end. It is difficult for a white wax light to illuminate the road ahead, I use a flashlight in the middle to illuminate the pockmarks, and the light of the flashlight comes out, so that the fire of the landlord can not be seen at all, but this candle can not be extinguished, it is the most sensitive indicator on our way forward.
The tomb is very deep and long, far beyond my expectations, generally speaking, the Mongolian cemetery is very simple, not like the Han people to make it magnificent, there are a lot of burial goods underground, there are many buildings on the ground, with the scale of the building to show the strength of the tomb owner during his lifetime.
And the Mongols are different, although the Mongols entered the Central Plains, many habits have been sinicized, but the rules of this thin burial have been retained, up to the kings and grandsons of the nobles, down to the common people will all be buried thinly, and there is no mark on the ground, so that it is difficult for future generations to find the burial place of the ancestors, that is, even those experienced tomb robbers have nothing to do about the ancient tombs of Mongolia.
It is said that when Kublai Khan died, he only buried his body in a pre-selected place with excellent feng shui, but he ordered the historian to record in the history books that "the body of the Great Khan was transported back to Mobei for burial", thus creating the illusion of being fake. The real burial method is only to select a huge log, hollow out it, form a huge round wooden coffin, place the body in it, add paint, and then use gold as a circle, three circles as a set, and make it firm.
And the burial goods in the tomb are also very simple and casual, only to bury some of the king's favorite war horses and weapons, knives, guns, crossbows and arrows, and rarely accompany the burial of other valuables.
After the death of Genghis Khan, the surface did not leave any mark, but brought a pair of mother and child camels with the burial, after the burial of the remains, the soldiers slaughtered the baby camel, so that the mother camel was grief-stricken, the mother camel will remember this place, and wait for the next year's sacrifice, as long as the mother camel is led, you will find the place where the monarch was buried the year before.
The life span of the camel must not be long, and after a few years, when the mother camel dies, no one remembers the location of the cemetery, and the specific location of the cemetery has become a problem for the ages.
But now this tomb is very wide and deep, it seems to be more extravagant and luxurious than the tombs of those Mongol kings recorded in the history books, although I have not seen the main burial chamber, I have been attracted by this ancient tomb, what is the sacred in this sparsely populated steppe to build such a large tomb, but also to build a burial warrior tomb to cover up? Every step I take is so excited, and with every step I take, I wonder what I'll see next.
