Chapter 22: Jingguan
Where is this tower or what, why not call it a corpse tower, hey!? It seems to be called a tower, no matter what it's called, don't get entangled! It's just that this tower is so high, how many people's bones must be hung on it?! Thinking of the horrific scene when those people were hanged on this tower, I can't help but stand on my hair several times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'll go, what the hell is this!" Abu turned his head to see the bones hanging from the tower, and cursed, and when he saw one of the floors made of bones, he became even more careful, because where there were dead people and bones, the devil knew what strange things could be.
But Abu hangs on this cliff, even if there is anything in the tower, he can't care about it, just go down and explore the way, since the tower can be built, then the water below may be the same as we tested, not very deep, we can wade through, and the claw marks on the edge of the cliff at least let us be sure that we can go down there.
It's just that when we pass by this corpse tower, we have to be careful, not to mention that so many people have died here, if it is used for burial, then maybe there will be unjust souls of Cheng Jing, just like this little ghost on my back, and we don't know if it is harmful or not.
And the layer made of bones, the bones are heavy one by one, and even the heads of some children can be seen in them, I can't imagine what kind of pervert this witch king is at this time, if these bones are still alive, they can form a tribe.
Suddenly, I remembered that this Wuling King was a person from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the situation in front of me made me think of a word, that is, "Jingguan", which does not have any beautiful meaning, but is a word full of blood.
Of course, I don't hold what I know in my stomach, so I explained to my father: "If this tower is not what I expected, it is the 'Jingguan' that existed in the Spring and Autumn Period." ”
"Jingguan?" My dad probably didn't know it, and they all looked at me with a confused expression.
Tianming wanted to understand even more, so he squeezed beside me in a moment and urged me to say: "Say quickly, say quickly, what is Jingguan?" "If you see his longing little eyes, and think how much he adores me, it may be that learning makes him happy!
"Ahem! This Jingguan is not a good thing, it is a bloody way of burial in the tomb, the earliest can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, and this witch king is a person in the Spring and Autumn Period, I am afraid this is the so-called Jingguan, because I really can't figure out where he got so many human bones to build this tower. ”
"Then what kind of construction method is this Jingguan, you should say it quickly!" Tianming urged again.
"In fact, 'Jingguan' is a very common phenomenon in ancient wars, which are full of cruelty and ruthlessness, and it is often the people who suffer."
"I know this, as the saying goes, 'one will make ten thousand bones dry'" Tianming This is endless, and I want to know what Jingguan is, and I want to come out and interject again.
"Tianming, don't interrupt, listen to Ji Ming!" The second uncle said to Tianming, and Tianming didn't continue to talk more.
"Let me give you an example first, the famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song, although this Huangfu Song is a famous general, but at the same time he is also an executioner, a demon who kills people without blinking." My voice started to get louder and louder.
"Huangfu Song was originally a small sergeant, not famous, until that time he was ordered to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army, this time changed his life, in the battle with the Yellow Turban Uprising general Zhang Jiao, Huangfu Song exterminated more than 10,000 rebel troops, since then in the court famous, began to become ambitious, the idea of killing people has never stopped......"
"And what did he kill people for?" My dad was also starting to get curious and interrupted me to ask, I knew he meant to tell me to get to the point.
"Used to build a Beijing Temple!" I replied, "Later, Huangfu Song became addicted to murder, whether it was the Yellow Turban Army or the common people, as long as they appeared in the field of vision of his army, they were all slaughtered, but this behavior was never stopped, and he was no longer a hero of counterinsurgency, but a bloodthirsty maniac." ”
"Later, Huangfu Song once again encountered the Yellow Turban Army and won a complete victory, so he said in the imperial court that he had annihilated 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, and cut off the heads of those 100,000 people and brought them back to Beijing, but in fact, most of these heads were innocent people."
"Then he piled up these 100,000 heads into a pyramid-like Jingguan to show his 'great military exploits', and instead of being stopped by the imperial court, this behavior was rewarded and described as a hero of the rebellion, but in fact he was not as good as those rebellious Yellow Turban soldiers, and his hands were stained with blood."
"And this kind of Jingguan, the piles of bones are either prisoners on the battlefield, or innocent people, even dead comrades-in-arms and enemy soldiers killed in battle, in short, there is no morality at all."
"Later, when the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, many soldiers and civilians also died, and it was also made into Jingguan, and it was not until the Li Shimin period that these Jingguan were destroyed a lot, but in the end, it was not until the Qing Dynasty that such behavior of Jingguan was expressly forbidden, because many generals would slaughter some innocent people in order to show their military exploits."
My father also understood what the Jingguan was when I said this, and said to me, "You mean that this tower in the water was built by the Witch Spirit King from the bones of those who died. ”
"Yes, that's probably it, he built Jingguan in this tomb, maybe he wanted to express his military exploits during his lifetime, although the content of the silk book may not be all true, but he killed many people without a doubt." I couldn't help but get excited as I spoke, and even the master was angry after listening to me.
"This ...... This is too inhumane, isn't it? After hearing what I said, Tianming was also shocked by the behavior of this Jingguan.
We looked at the tower in the water, because if you look at the spire alone, you don't know that the tower is full of human bones, and one of the floors is all piled up with bones, I can't imagine what kind of age it was.
Just when we finished speaking, the flying tiger claw on the stone pillar reacted, and we came back to our senses, Abu had already arrived at the bottom of the cliff, and kept shaking the steel cable connected by the flying tiger claw, it seems that Abu has determined the situation under the cliff, safe!
Tianming shouted from the bottom of the cliff: "Hey! Abu, can you hear me? Is it safe underneath? ”
However, Abu didn't seem to be able to hear, so he had to keep shaking the steel cable, in this case, we didn't waste time, and we had to go down the steel cable one by one, so that Abu would not wait alone below.
"You follow the master! I'll go down with your second uncle first. My dad looked at me and said.
"Okay!" I said helplessly, but in fact, I don't have to worry about them at all, and I can go down by myself, but my father's trust in the master is more than his trust in himself, and I have to follow the master.
"Tianming, you go down last, we will wait for you below." The second uncle also said to Tianming.
The master could only look at us quietly, and he also understood what my father meant, which meant that he handed me over to him, and my safety was taken care of by the master.
When we were still three or four feet away from the bottom of the cliff, Abu was already shouting below: "I'm going to drop a mother!" What are you doing up there, I'm waiting for a lot, my feet are stiff in this water, and I'm about to turn over the water! ”
"Uh-uh, Tianming was telling us about this Jingguan, and I didn't notice that you were shaking the rope." The second uncle explained to Abu in embarrassment.
"Jingguan?" Abu didn't understand either.
"I'll tell you about it later, let them come down first!" The second uncle replied.
It didn't take long for us to reach the bottom of the cliff, and although we almost fell off the way, it was just a false alarm, and it was not a big deal.
And the bottom of this cliff is indeed a shallow river, and according to this direction, it does belong to the same river under the stone bridge, if it is any other river, this is a perversion.
It seems that the sinkhole in the village is the reason for this, and the underground river that runs through the mountains carries away a lot of groundwater from the village, which leads to the formation of the sinkhole.
The shallow river was no bigger than our ankles at most, and when we were sure it was safe, we headed for the so-called Jingguan Tower.
As we approached the tower, a dark shadow passed in front of it, and at the same time there was a splash.
