Chapter 33: Another Layer
The second uncle smoked this cigarette and didn't take a few puffs, only to see that the cigarette was almost to the end, the second uncle threw the cigarette butt to the ground and said: "Let's go, sooner or later we have to see what happens, everyone pays attention to it, we can avoid it as much as possible, that thing can't be provoked!" The second uncle was obviously very worried in his words, but he tried to control his tone as much as possible, so that we would not be too panicked before we saw the thing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
We all responded secretly, but we didn't speak, the second uncle had already taken the first step, but we didn't turn on the flashlight in a hurry, but waited for the sound to stop a little, and we couldn't see the situation in front of us at all, so we turned the flashlight back on.
I whispered to my dad, "Dad, do you know what that thing they are talking about?" My father was quietly following me, but suddenly saw me turn his head and ask, he also looked puzzled, and replied: "I don't know what it is, listening to what the master said, it seems to be something guarding the mausoleum!" ”
"Grave keepers? Could it be some kind of grave beast? I asked, confused.
I actually only know a little about this kind of thing, and I don't know much about it, but everything in the tomb has some special features, and there are also some aura or horror places, as for this tomb beast, it has a very good history, but this tomb beast is just a kind of weapon, I don't know how this sound came out.
Tomb Beast, an ancient custom, refers to a kind of underworld, and most of the ancient people believed that there were all kinds of wild ghosts and evil ghosts in the underworld, which would endanger the ghosts of the dead. Therefore, the purpose of setting up the tomb beast is first of all to ward off evil spirits and protect the peace of the souls of the deceased.
The common burial utensils in the Chu tomb are also one of the unique shapes of the utensils in the Chu lacquerware, the shape of this kind of utensils is abstract, the concept is strange and peculiar, the image is terrifying and grotesque, it has a strong sense of mystery and a strong witchcraft mythological color, and most of the tomb beast artifacts found now are mostly in the middle of the Warring States period.
The role of the tomb beast is actually not clear, but you can hear it by listening to the name, it is something used to guard the mausoleum, this is just one of the functions, and when you hear this voice today, it seems that it is far more than that.
I heard that the town tomb beast is a common monster in the ancient tombs of our country, there are beast faces, human faces, antlers, it is a kind of dark weapon set up for the suppression of ghosts and monsters, and the soul of the dead is protected from intrusion.
There is also a kind of mythical beast called Fang Xiang, which has the ability to expel the elephant, so the family often makes the Fang Xiang clan stand on the side of the tomb to prevent the infestation of monsters, and also says that this kind of Fang Xiang's has four golden-colored clothes, covered with bear skin, wearing red clothes and black pants, riding Ma Yango, to the tomb to hit the four corners with Ge, driving Fang Liang and the elephant.
And Fang Liang is also a demon that endangers the dead, and people use the power of Fang Xiang's clan to drive them away, so some scholars believe that the custom of using tomb beasts is derived from the legend of "Fang Xiang's clan". Some people also speculate based on the double horns on the head of the early tomb beast that the tomb beast should be related to "evil spirits", "spirits", "Shibo", etc., and there are always different opinions.
Second uncle, they are now walking in front of no one carelessly, the voice sometimes sounds, sometimes falls, crows are afraid of the dark and ghosts and gods are already scared, I'm okay, I have always believed that there is a master they are, even if I can't make any contributions, in short, life safety is still somewhat guaranteed.
"It seems that we still have a floor below us, this Dian Kingdom Mansion seems to indeed exist, and the curse on our body may really be solved!" The second uncle said, I don't know what he found in front of me, I have now forgotten the horror of that sound.
"What's wrong? Second master! Abu asked as he walked ahead of me and deliberately lowered his voice.
"See for yourselves!" The second uncle took a look in front of the Flashlight King, and we all looked over, only to see that there was a wooden ladder below, but fortunately the length of this wooden ladder is not long, and you can see the bottom at a glance, and the bottom is also a wooden plank building, which is really a floor.
"Why is it this kind of wooden ladder, there won't be those four-legged snakes, right?" Abu asked worriedly.
"What, what's the four-legged snake?" Qianyu was puzzled and asked.
"Oh, you didn't meet, we almost lost our lives there!" I explained.
"What are you talking about?" Qianyu hasn't understood yet.
I explained, "You've been down the ladder for a long time, but you heard the rustling of the ladder too, right?" ”
"Well, isn't that the sound of bugs?" Zhang Yuntian was also puzzled and said.
"No, they are all four-legged snakes, we don't know where they came from, just now after you came down, there were a lot of four-legged snakes crawling out from under the plank, and the backs were all red, there was a black line in the middle, I don't know how they grew in this tomb, it's been so many years, I didn't expect there to be such strange things in this tomb." I said.
Later, I stacked the four-legged snakes into a large four-legged snake, and told them about the fact that we had slipped down the ladder, and they understood, but they were all a little apprehensive, and the crow said, "Fortunately, I came down quickly, and I didn't stay there, and I was afraid of these things of unknown origin!" ”
"You, of course you're scared, why didn't you scare God when I saw it!" Abu mocked the raven.
"And where did the four-legged serpent you spoke of come from?" The old lady asked.
"We don't know, we didn't see the wooden ladder after we got down, after all, you also know the length of the wooden ladder, we were just running for our lives at that time, so we didn't care where those four-legged snakes went." I said.
"Then pay attention, the creatures in this tomb can be different from the outside, you have also seen the human bones before, I'm afraid these four-legged snakes are just some of them, I don't know if there are any in front, try to look at it, you also heard the voice, maybe the sound has something to do with these four-legged snakes, if you meet at that time, everyone should be careful, don't panic, being able to retreat is the purpose of our fight, of course, this time is different, we still want to lift the curse on the body!" The second uncle said.
"Okay, let's go down, this wooden ladder is not long, look at each other!" Zhang Yuntian said.
We are ready to step on the wooden ladder below, the second uncle and the master walked up first, but I don't know why, the wooden ladder suddenly clicked and broke, fortunately, this wooden ladder was stepped on by the master, of course, the master's skills are undoubted, just a bounce jumped to the first step below.
The wooden ladder did not break.
