Chapter 10: The Servant

Bursts of dust filled the side of the mountain road, and because the explosion happened too suddenly, everyone was caught off guard, especially the sexy woman named Xiao Yan, whose face was pale with fright, and she almost fell off the cliff. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Fortunately, the monk quickly pulled her over and put her on the slope. She seemed frightened and began to cry there.

The 'boom' of falling rocks became more and more intense, falling from the mountain wall into the river below.

The monk shouted at the top of his voice, "Are you all right?" Who the fuck is going to kill us, and they actually got the dynamite? ”

The bun was already pale with fright, stood up and patted the ashes, but there was another way of saying it. "Maybe it's not explosives, because I don't smell gunsmoke." Could it be a volcanic eruption? Or an earthquake caused by the movement of the leylines within the volcanic range.

The monk was happy when he heard it, and pursed his lips and said sarcastically: "Baozi, you kid have to raise the bar with me, right?" Do you look like this place looks like a volcano? Even if it was a volcanic eruption, would the fuck be able to explode like thunder? ”

Before Baozi could explain, Uncle Yan Tai said with a bitter face: "Maybe it's a volcanic eruption as he said." Yunnan is indeed full of volcanic craters, it is said that after the eruption of the Yingshan volcano in 1609, Tengchong City in Yunnan was formed by a volcano, and we are famous for jade and volcanic stone here, everyone should know how volcanic stone is formed! ”

I had a preconceived idea that someone was harming us, so I thought it was dynamite. But I can't imagine that it will be natural factors such as volcanoes and earthquakes? If it's caused by the movement of the Fire Mountains, then the fucking bloodberries have been poured into the water this time!

We began to look around for a way out, and even the old man of the Zheng family, who had always been calm when the sky fell, finally put away his cigarette gun and began to command a few of his men to go down to see the cliffs before and after the ancient road. Naturally, I didn't wait, so I ran to the cliff with my 'eldest brother' to observe.

Standing at the mouth of the cliff, my feet were weak when I got close to him because I was too high. The eldest brother squatted on the edge of the cliff and reached out to touch the ashes on the ground. After observing for a while, he suddenly said: "It seems that it is indeed volcanic rock, this thing is very broken, and it will be scattered when you pinch it with your hand." ”

Seeing that I did not dare to go up to the edge of the cliff to observe, he threw a rock and earth at me, and without speaking, he walked to the group on his own. I said in my heart, brother and sister are really like! Shaking my head, I looked at the soil and stone in my hand, it really looked like sand, but I really couldn't figure out what the difference between this soil and stone and the yellow mud ground? Isn't it all crushed when pinched?

When they returned to the group, everyone came back one after another. Everyone came to the unanimous conclusion that 'everyone is trapped here'. Some of the people were disheartened, and some sighed, especially the woman named Xiaoyan, who almost cried to death. At this time, the monk's embryo was still circling around the woman, disgusting and wanting to coax Xiao Yan to take off the mask and take a look. Although I think this woman is the master of money, I don't know why she doesn't take off the mask!

I'm glad this woman didn't come to pester me, but who hired her? I really don't want to think about it at this point. I walked to the side of the mountain wall and looked up at the cliff that was almost in a straight line. I tried to climb a few times, but I just went up less than a meter, and I didn't even climb the kick belt, and I fell down as soon as I got it. I tried five or six times, but I fell to the ground. The heart said, I'm afraid I have to put on my wings to fly out now!

When I shook my head and wanted to turn back, I suddenly noticed that there was a bowl-shaped circular hole in the mountain. I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, I stepped on the round hole when I climbed the cliff. But what struck me as strange was that the shape of this little hole was too regular! In other words, this kind of circular hole is not born naturally at all, and if it is not natural, it must be artificial!

This disconnected Ancient Tea Horse Road has been uninhabited for decades except us. How did the mountain wall here become such a round bowl with a big hole? What is this little hole for? I suddenly felt inexplicable, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to come over, and when they saw me calling them, their eyes lit up, thinking that I had found a way out, and they surrounded me.

When I found out that I was talking about such a big hole, everyone was stupid. Old Man Zheng blew his beard and glared, only Bao Xueba on the side looked at the hole and fell into deep thought.

In the midst of everyone's complaints, Baozi suddenly said: "This little hole doesn't seem right!" ”

"What's wrong? Is the hole too small for you to pee? Hahaha...... "The monk suddenly said that, and everyone looked at him like a monster. Then his laughter grew quieter and quieter, and finally he rubbed his head in embarrassment.

Baozi rolled his eyes and was silent for a while, as if sorting out his thoughts. Then he said, "Have you ever heard of a person hanging a coffin?" ”

Uncle Yan Tai nodded and said, "You mean the way of burial after the death of the servants: hanging coffins?" This must have been heard, and we have a lot of descendants in Yunnan. ”

It turned out that Uncle Yan Tai's language skills were really not good, and in the end, Baozi began to explain it to us. Legend has it that the hanging coffin of the servant is a cliff burial method before the Ming Dynasty, and our country is in Matangba and Sumawan. It is characterized by the coffin of the deceased pressed against the cliff face. A total of 265 hanging coffins have been preserved, and it is said that you have to queue up to buy tickets to see the coffins of these dead people. This kind of coffin pressed on the cliff is generally 10 to 50 meters above the ground, and can reach up to 100 meters. There are three ways to place the coffin, one is the wooden stake type, that is to say, on the cliff, three large holes are chiseled, and the area of the hole is judged by the size of the stake, so that the stake is placed to support the coffin. The second is the digging type, that is, the horizontal hole or vertical hole is chiseled on the rock wall to hold the coffin. The third is the natural type, which uses the natural caves and cracks between the rock walls to hold the coffin.

In the fog we listened to, there is a woolen relationship between this servant's hanging coffin and letting us go out? At this time, the well-informed old man Zheng also spoke: "The name of the servant was first circulated in the record of "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period", and it is said that before the Qin Dynasty, there was a country called the Hou Guo, which was located in the Yibin area of present-day Sichuan. The two tribes of Yunnan (present-day Dianchi area of Yunnan) and Qiongdu (present-day Xichang area of Sichuan) also lived with a large number of servants, known as Dian and Qiong in history! It originated from the same origin as the Pu people in eastern Sichuan at that time. In the Han Dynasty, its settlement area was called Yan Dao (Wang Mang changed it to Yan Zhi), so in the Qin period, the "Five Feet Road" was built to lead to the starting point of the Southwest Yi. In ancient times, the servants also trafficked in human beings, that is, they sold the slaves in the clan to other countries, so there were often servants or servants in history who meant the title of slaves. ”

"Servant?" The monk suddenly seemed to think of something, and patted his head and shouted. Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and his eyes lit up and he interjected: "I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me." That Beren? That Beren has died countless times in history? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€

I'm sure of that...... I'm not the only one trying to drag the monk off the cliff now!

When Baozi is in a state of studying antiquities, he is invincible. In this regard, he is an absolute genius plus a top student! He looked at the small hole in the mountain, and suddenly said with surprise: "If the servant wants to place the hanging coffin, he will choose a feng shui treasure, and once the location is chosen, it will never change. This small hole is supposed to be a hole made by the servants in the form of wooden stakes. ”

I listened and looked around suspiciously, and there were no servants hanging coffins along the way. After all, the Ancient Tea Horse Road is only so big, and if there are any natural caves on the side, it will be clear at a glance. This is strange, Baozi said that once the servant chooses the burial location, he will not change, so why don't you see those hanging coffins that are hung for half a day?

Baozi took a deep breath and continued: "The position of the servant's coffin is not changed, and there must be two to three small holes in the wooden stake cliff wall to fix the coffin, but there is only one here!" ”

The monk touched his head, and this time said cautiously: "Then why did you only dig a hole and not chisel?" And there is no coffin to see? Baozi, didn't you say that the servant would not change the place of burial if he chose it? ”

Oh, yes? Why didn't you see the coffin and the other two holes?

"Isn't the answer just around the corner?" Baozi stood up and patted the ash on his hands. said: "I'm afraid we're going to 'hit the wall'!" If we are servants, why did we suddenly stop choosing a cemetery for our loved ones? In fact, the answer is very simple, because when I was digging a hole in the stake, I found that there was a hole in the mountain! In other words, a good 'natural type' is placed in front of you, and no one will go to get a 'stake type'. ”

"Is there a cave inside the cliff?" The monk patted his head and said what everyone wanted!
