Chapter 30: Who is in the coffin?
Weizi squirmed his mouth several times to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. In this way, we spiraled up the stairs, and walked lightly through two or three hundred sections, about one or two hundred meters, and sure enough, climbing the stairs was the most tiring, if it was flat ground, walking one or two thousand meters without panting.
Just as we were resting in place, Weizi booed and reminded us, glancing at the nearby stone frame with his eyes, from which he saw the cylindrical shape outside, and found that the iron chains were more densely intertwined, and through the prospecting lamp on my head, I could see the coffin parallel to us in the middle.
A huge black coffin, as if lying inside was a giant more than three meters tall.
Some of the chains wrapped the coffin around and hung it several times, and some of them extended from the hollow cylindrical wall and buckled on it. Weizi explained: "The outer layer is a large coffin, and the inner layer is a coffin, which is used to hold corpse utensils. Looking at the scale, the coffin body is at least about one meter eight, and the corpses inside are around one meter seven, and the gap will not be too big. β
Dabao suddenly said: "Then who will be the corpse in this coffin?" Hanging in the air like this, there is no epitaph nearby. β
Weizi shook his head and said, "I said before that this guy must have offended Lao Ying, otherwise he wouldn't have to suffer this tormenting torture even if he died." So not to mention the inscription, it would be merciful to be able to give him a shroud. β
"Although this hanging coffin looks much weirder than the hanging coffin burial in those customs and cultures, I still don't see where it is suffering?" I lay down in the stone frame and looked up and down at the chains that were like spider webs, and said, "Are these chains?" β
Weizi glanced at the iron chains, and said disdainfully: "Those iron chains are just an addition, in terms of the feng shui array, it is similar to the net of heaven and earth, in fact, it means imprisonment, although I don't know, but it's not uninformed." Most of the ancient feng shui masters would have this kind of feng shui layout, especially during the Qin and Han dynasties, when ghost feng shui was most popular. β
Speaking of this, he paused and said to Dabao, "You stretch out your hand." β
"Touching the chains?" Dabao looked at him suspiciously, "But I can't hook it either." β
Weizi didn't explain, and directly pulled up his sleeve and forcibly dragged his hand out a little. Dabao suddenly screamed, retracted his hand, and rubbed it vigorously on his clothes, as if he was on fire.
"It's so hot!" Dabao rubbed and blew his painful index finger vigorously, "How do you feel that you are burned by fire?" β
Weizi helped his glasses, grinned, and said, "It's not a feeling, or it was originally burned by fire, you can see if he has any traces of burns." β
Curious, our group gathered around Dabao and raised his fingers to take a closer look, and found that there was really no trace of burns, not even a trace of hot red marks, and couldn't help but look at each other, and looked at Weizi to listen to his explanation.
"When I saw this chimney-like before, I was still a little puzzled, and when I saw the coffin hanging from it, I remembered that I had read a book that recorded such an evil formation." Speaking of this, Weizi personally stretched out his hand, and he frowned in pain, and his eyebrows were full of cold sweat, which must have been very painful.
Everyone looked at the non-existent things in the air in horror, and immediately shrank back from the edge of the stone frame, afraid of being hurt by the invisible things.
Immediately afterwards, Weizi withdrew his hand and slowly spoke: "This formless thing should be the fire of the earth's yin, since ancient times, everything has good and bad, yin and yang. There is a difference between the sun and the yin in the sky, and there is also a difference between yang and yin on the earth. The fire of the earth and yang burns everything, it can calcine everything into ashes, and the fire of the earth and yin is formless, and the life and death of those who touch it cannot be as they wish, but it does not hurt a single bit, which is simply incredible. β
From Weizi's fragmentary words, I suddenly understood the meaning, the person in the coffin was tormented not by the chains, but by the burning of the fire of the earth that came to the depths of the hollow column. In addition, Weizi added a sentence later: "When that person was put into the coffin, he should still be alive, otherwise this kind of torment will have no meaning." β
For a moment, I felt that Qin Shi Huang's so-called tyrant title might be pure.
But who is this person in the coffin, and where did he offend Qin Shi Huang? If you think about the people who offended Qin Shi Huang in history, Zhang Liang is one, but it is obviously not him. The rest of the vassal states? It's not right, those people have basically been executed, and besides, apart from everyone's different positions, there is no deep hatred.
Suddenly, I thought of LΓΌ Buwei? This powerful minister who once overwhelmed Qin Shi Huang. But I just think about it, Qin Shi Huang hated more people, such as his own mother, who stole people, and gave birth to several children. Another example is Chang Yu, this kind of great man with a strange lower body.
Among the above-mentioned people, the whereabouts of each of them are unknown, and some are rumored to be dead, but only Qin Shi Huang knows whether he died or not.
Then the person lying in the coffin is probably one of them.
While I was thinking, suddenly Dabao sighed softly, moved the prospecting lamp on his head to the lid of the coffin, and said, "See if there is a pattern engraved on it." β
Weizi's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly laughed, and said: "Now I know who this person is, it turns out to be him, but he deserves it!" β
I looked at the pattern under the light, and it was easy to identify, the top was carved with the waning sun, and the bottom was carved with a waning moon.
Seeing this, I was surprised that it was him.
PS: Can you guess who it is?
