Chapter Seventy-Five: Trees Grow Underground
"No. 926 Huangquan Road", rather than a new work, a new work that will not be stably updated, a supernatural funny article, I hope you will support a lot, my progress needs your participation!!
After discussing in place for almost an hour, everyone's energy has recovered a lot, and the three fat men and I disagree and can't get into an argument. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and then we chose a compromise approach, first go forward, see what else will happen, and then make an absolute decision.
Sure enough, the ancients said, "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." "It's not just a random thing, it's well-founded.
We walked forward for about 50 meters before we made a new discovery, although the red soil is still red soil, but the soil hole has become larger and wider, and the horizontal and vertical have changed. The first person to be found was the three fat man, probably because he was the strongest among the four of us, and the other person immediately changed as soon as he compared it with the earth cave.
Yunnan Dali Cangshan is covered with snow all the year round, on the top of the mountain, you can not only see the independent snow scene, but also can look down from the top of the mountain to see the whole ancient city of Dali, this unique and wonderful place has attracted the attention of countless tourists. In the spring of 1996, two middle school students at the foot of Cangshan Mountain made an appointment to climb Cangshan Mountain, they were fully prepared, eating, playing, drinking, and preparing for the cold were neat and neat, and their parents also relieved them to go together, but in the end they died on Cangshan, fixed at the age of 15, and never came down from that wonderful peak.
By the time rescuers found both of them, they had been dead for a long time. There was no other reason, it was out of fear in their hearts, and in fact the real way out was in the forest less than ten meters away from them, but they did not find it.
After the incident, parents have asked the person in charge of Cangshan Scenic Area for explanation, and tourists have stayed away from this seemingly beautiful scenic spot.
The answer is different.
In the same way, if we hadn't continued to go down, we wouldn't have found this gradually widening cavern.
But although on the surface it seems that we have received a new hint, in fact there is no difference from what we saw before, there is still red soil everywhere, and the change is that the soil hole has become larger.
Call it an ancient tomb, but it's ordinary. There is no trace of decoration, and according to what we discussed earlier, this ancient tomb should be related to the ogre king Zhu Ji.
Zhu Wei was a native of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, so its tomb should naturally reflect what the tomb of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties should look like. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the country was strong, all living beings were rich, and there were many large tombs. Especially in the area on the edge of the Yellow River Valley, the tomb style completely followed the Northern Wei Dynasty, passed through the Sui Dynasty, and was passed down to the Tang Dynasty, all of which are in the same line.
The aristocracy of the time often built large tombs, including a long tunnel with a patio on top of the tunnel and two walls. Ordinary bureaucrats built tombs of the same size according to their status, but they all had a similar feature, that is, the frescoes were popular in the tombs, and they usually depicted animals and other things, such as saddle horses, camels, buffaloes, and so on. In addition, there are male and female attendants, dancing girls, and other places, but the size of the tomb is generally determined according to the status of the tomb owner during his lifetime.
During the Tang Dynasty, due to the influence of Buddhism, some ancient tombs would also place warrior figurines of different shapes to guard the tomb doors. Other hot spots are stompings or ghosts.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the style of the tombs of the Tang Dynasty underwent new changes, first of all, the structure of the tombs was simplified, the short and narrow shaft-type tomb roads replaced the long slope-type tomb roads, and the patios were also gone. The size of the tombs has become smaller in the overall layout. Samurai figurines are also becoming more and more simplified, and some tombs are no longer equipped with mercenaries.
In fact, the ancients still had a deep study of the construction of tombs, and they also paid a lot of attention to it. The scale pattern is built according to the overall situation of the country at that time, and it also reflects the size of the country's overall capacity.
But the tomb we are in now has nothing, which makes one wonder if it is a real tomb after all.
Now it seems that the things that have plagued us before have not been solved, and new problems have arisen. Since this is a tomb that can carry the ancient sword of Zhanlu, why does it not have the scale of carrying the ancient sword of Zhanlu? In other words, why doesn't this tomb have a gorgeous palace?
Besides, the first thing we expected was that a group of archaeological team members should have come down before us, so why haven't we met them yet? Not even the slightest trace of them was found. Is the tomb too big or did the archaeological team not come down at all?
It was as if all of a sudden everything had come together in a mass of twine, and we were like flies in a net, smashing our heads or being trapped in them, and we couldn't figure out where the original twine head was. In Beichen Xuan, I only need to rely on my mouth of babbling nonsense all day long, and "cheat" my deserved, undeserved, and undeserved benefits to the maximum, and now mixed with the things and objects of the ancients, everything is no longer as simple as imagined.
I closed my eyes tiredly, waiting for my inner calm. I shouldn't have such an expression on my face at my age, but I desperately need clarity now, and my head is really messed up. Suddenly thinking of the big zongzi under the stinky pond, and suddenly thinking of the bully stone statue in a circle, my mind is always jumping, and the temples are also "suddenly" jumping.
Just when I was about to calm down, the three fat man's words broke my inner peace again. His tone was surprised and a little scared, an ambiguous emotion, and he said, "I'll fuck it, yes, I fucking saw the little bushes." ”
I was shocked to think that we had come to the end of this fight without any gain, and this tomb was simply a dirt cave across the mountain. Quickly opened my eyes and saw that I couldn't see anything in the darkness in front of me, and I was a little short-sighted, so I squinted my eyes again, and only then did I see the small bushes that the three fat men said.
The front of the earth cave suddenly widened, and a clearing of dozens of square meters was formed in the middle of the mountain, which was covered with dwarf trees, and it was difficult to see whether it was a pine tree or any other tree from a distance. There are obvious traces of manual excavation in this open space of long trees, and some of the soil holes are neatly stacked? , hoes, axes and other excavation sites, and there are traces of hoe sharpening above the open space.
My first thought at the time was that if this tomb was a complete tomb as usual, then this place would undoubtedly be what we usually call the main hall. It is in line with the location and size of the main temple and the size it should be.
We subconsciously walked towards the trees, and the three fat men muttered on the side: "I'll go, I'll just say, the next bucket can't meet anything is the most terrifying, now I actually saw the trees growing in the mountain, it's really an eye-opener, how did they survive without sunlight, air, and moisture, I'll go, it's a fucking ......"
Just when the three fat men were about to say the third "I'll go", I quickly stopped the nameless and their continuous moving footsteps, the three fat men were right, the trees were not sunny. Air. It is impossible to survive in the conditions of water, but what we see in front of us is a green and dense bush, which is not justified and should be dangerous. I grabbed them and said, "I can't go over, I think it's dangerous." ”
Wu Ming gently pulled away the hand I was holding his sleeve and said, "I know." Then he walked forward.
What kind of perverted psychology is it to know the danger and face the danger. Shouldn't ordinary people stop and observe and move forward? The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and being invincible in a hundred battles is what it means to be in this situation, it should be......
Knowing that the three fat men stabbed me a few times with his elbow before I reacted, the reason why Wu Ming knew the danger and still faced the danger could only mean that this danger was expected by Wu Ming or that he could deal with it. Although Wu Ming is skilled and bold, as the head of the Wu family, he is not allowed to "trample" on his life at will.
Thinking about it like this, I felt that I was really a little worried, and I laughed three times and hurriedly chased after the three fat men.
When I arrived at the mouth of the earth cave, I found another surprising thing, the hollowed-out mountain was connected to the earth ladder from the bottom up, and there was a so-called patio on the top, but the patio was just a simple form, just a show. But the earth ladders are real, one by one ladders from the hole to the edge of the patio, which should be a passage for the repair crews to walk. Seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Look, that's a patio, a form of Tang tomb, we didn't come to the wrong place." ”
The other three looked at me and were visibly surprised. Even Wu Ming's cold eyes lit up instantly.
Although the patio is only a formality and does not have any practical effect here, its appearance undoubtedly gives us a lot of confidence.
Originally, we walked for so long in the earthen cave, and we didn't find anything meaningful, we were a little discouraged, and thought that we had gone to the wrong place, came to the wrong tomb, but now it seems that we have not gone wrong, but we have not reached the real destination.
Now the mood is like suddenly discovering an oasis in the desert we are traveling, there is excitement, but more than that, there is joy and happiness, happy that the damage we have suffered along the way has not been paid in vain, happy that we are one step closer to Ojiko's final shocking secret.
