Minjiang out of the silver Chapter 19 grimace in the mirror
There is a huge plane above the base of the tower, which is not visible at all because the view is blocked below. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And in the angle between the four scimitar-shaped columns, there are four huge vermilion lacquer coffins lying respectively, from the volume point of view, no less than the Zeng Hou Yi coffin unearthed in Suizhou, Hubei Province in 1978, more peculiar is that they surround the four sides of the middle tower body column in a unique form, it looks magnificent, but what is more intimidating is that there are many lying on the ground...... Corpse.
Most of these corpses were mutilated, and it could be seen that they had been here for a long time, because they were all covered up by the ups and downs, more like bacon that had been smoked and forgotten for a long time, and had been dried beyond recognition.
When I saw the scene of the corpse besieging the city again, I felt a wave of nausea in my heart, "Is this a cemetery?" How can there be so many corpses? ”
The blind bear raised his gun high, "This is the fucking truth of the secret!" ”
I couldn't understand what the blind bear was saying, so I hurriedly asked, "The truth?" What is the secret truth? ”
The blind bear pointed a gun at the tower in the middle and said, "Do you see that the vermilion lacquer coffin guarding the four sides is facing the tower in the middle?" This form of tower burial is called grimace mirror, and the vermilion lacquer coffin around it is like a mirror in four directions, reflecting the shadow of the coffin of the tomb owner, showing that only the tomb owner is the center of the tomb and the core of the whole tomb, it seems that we are going to find what we want to find. ”
I then said, "Why don't we open the coffin and find something?" ”
Jiuda cautiously walked towards the central tower, "The big guys should walk carefully, avoid the corpses on the ground, especially not let the air in the mouth of the living blow on the corpses to prevent the corpses from rising." The four vermilion lacquer coffins can't move, the second master is right, this layout is the legendary grimace mirror, no matter which direction the coffin is moved, the main coffin in the middle will respond accordingly, if the coffin is really lying in the old zongzi, he sees the wind corpse, we are in danger! ”
After listening to the words of the Ninth Congress, we all walked cautiously in the direction of the tower, because there were too many corpses on the ground, I really didn't know how to get off my feet, fortunately I followed the blind bear, his size is large, just follow his footprints.
As we approached the main tower, the Nine Greats raised their vigilance, and he told us to load all the bullets while I clung to the hidden knife that the blind bear had given me.
When you come to the foot of the tower, sure enough, there is a "skylight" in the south of the tower, in fact, the tombs in many places will open a small window at the entrance of the tomb now, saying that it is a passage for the soul to enter and exit, but this "skylight" is said to be a window, it is better to say that it is more appropriate to say that it is a door.
The tomb gate consists of two doors and two stone pillars.
In the left and right doors, the upper part is a warrior holding a spear fighting a tiger, and the lower part is delicately engraved with a door knocker.
The left and right doorposts are also carved with a statue of a human-faced beast with a halberd. But everyone was surprised to find that the eyes and nose of the warrior on the tiger fighting picture were different from those of humans, more like the face of a beast, and the body of the tiger was also "feathered" into the appearance of a "flying tiger".
Jiuda suddenly shouted, "Yes...... It's to ward off evil spirits! ”
The blind bear and I were taken aback, and the blind bear looked at him and said, "Lao Jiu, you are crazy! You didn't mean to be quiet, you almost scared people to death with this shock! ”
Jiu Da hurriedly explained, "Second Master, I know what the Tomb Beast is, that is, to ward off evil spirits, it seems that the old man and the old master were eaten by this beast." ”
I was surprised, "What? Is it really evil spirits? Isn't this thing carved out of stone? Can it still come true? ”
The blind bear continued, "It seems that these are all true, now think about the existence of this creature, what we call it to ward off evil spirits, in fact, it is the griffin that foreigners say, but the name is different." No matter whether this beast is a god or a ghost, I will sacrifice him to my ancestors. ”
Jiuda saw that Xiong was blind and red-eyed, and hurriedly persuaded, "Second Master, you can't be impulsive anymore, the Xiong family is your only seedling, this matter of charging into battle and avenging the master and the second master will be handled by Jiuda, you must not be strong, it is important to save your life!" ”
The blind bear did not listen to the persuasion, he kicked open the tomb door with one kick, I tried to pull him but he couldn't pull it, his strength was too great, before I could react, a gust of wind blew from the tomb door, and we all fell to the ground.
Jiuda said nervously, "Second Master...... Little Second Master...... Are you alright? ”
I didn't fall lightly, I don't know if I owed the bear a blind man in my previous life, and when the dead fat man fell out of the door, he pressed me again.
He was fine, he just grinned, and I didn't even feel the mood to scold him.
The blind bear replied, "Lao Jiu, I'm fine, this stupid roe deer suspects that it is not lightly suppressed." ”
I really regretted pulling him at the time, letting this dead fat man be grabbed by the old monster, maybe the tomb owner saw that he looked lively and cute, and maybe he could accept it as a toy.
Suddenly, one of the team members pointed to the inside of the door and said, "Look at the inside of the door, if there is gold, and how it shines?" ”
I jumped up as soon as I got up, and the blind bear was happy all at once, "Hey...... You're a fucking grave robber! When I heard the baby, I immediately got better, just like no one, I'm optimistic about you! ”
I glared at him and asked him to be quieter, don't speak, there is no blower in the tower, and it is strange to be able to blow a gust of evil wind.
The first of the nine universities walked in, and when he saw that there was no danger inside, he called us, "Second master, little second master, come in!" There's a lot of space in it, so there's nothing wrong with that. ”
The bear blind man and I walked in one after the other, and the last member of the team followed us closely, and I guess he was also worried now, after all, so many people came in, and there were only a few of us left, and no one could accept it, and what was even more terrifying was that we didn't know anything about that mysterious power.
As soon as I walked through the door, I realized that this was not something that could be built by human beings!
It turned out that it was a solid tower from the outside, but it was hollow inside, and there was a lot of space, but the discomfort caused by this claustrophobic space was indescribable. What's even more incredible is that when you look up, you can see the stars at night, which are obviously underground, where did the moonlight and stars come from?
The blind bear saw the huge coffin placed in the middle at a glance, and shouted excitedly, "Good girl! This is really a golden coffin! ”
We gathered around the golden coffin, not surprised, the size of this coffin was no different from what we saw outside, but because it was covered in gold, a sense of dignity and nobility immediately shocked us all.
The blind bear looked at it and said, "What the hell is this old goblin doing, why is his family so thick?" What is this called, and the rich are nothing more than that! ”
Because I studied archaeology and my professional habits, my eyes fell on the pictures engraved on the outside of the golden coffin. And when the 10,000-year-old lantern in the tower was re-lit by the Nine Greats, the brightly lit environment made me see those things more intuitively.
The colors of the pictures on both sides of the golden coffin are very bright, filled with a lot of bright red paint, and it feels like blood, and in the lights shining around it, there is a disturbing brilliance, especially like blood oozing from the coffin.
However, what really surprised me was the content of the painting, it was difficult for me to describe what was painted on it in my own words, I could only roughly understand that the pictures on both sides of the golden coffin described different things, but when put together, it looks very complete, which can be described as a miracle.
Jiuda also participated, his eyes straightened, and he said to himself, "This is not ...... Isn't it a painting hanging in our wing? Look at this person, this person should be Dingbashiro. ”
I was puzzled by the words of the Ninth Congress, but the blind bear was also attracted by his words, and stood next to the coffin and looked at it seriously.
He looked at the pattern back and forth while marveling, pointed to the painting and said, "This is the ritual of sacrificing Ding Bashiro, which is called "Shiluo" in Naxi language. It is a funeral ceremony held after the death of the priest of Dongba. After the high priest ascends to heaven, he will set up an altar in the house, hold an idol of the gods, set up an offering table, and use an iron ploughshare to represent the sacred mountain of Junaroro, and set up sacrifices such as white yaks and white horses for gods such as face puppets, bamboo weaving, and offering wine and tea. The courtyard is set up with a "benchmark", a ghost domain and a ghost village are set up in the courtyard, and the courtyard dam is started from the coffin in the house, and the divine path map is laid at the gate, indicating that the undead will follow the divine road map to the heaven where the ancestors live under the excess of the Dongba gods. Looking at this grand scene, the atmosphere is warm and tragic, and it should be buried with religious leaders. ”
I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw the picture of the sacrifice to the heavens and the earth, but I didn't know what I felt awkward, and asked, "Why do the people who participated in the sacrifice have three pairs of arms?" ”
The blind bear looked strange and wondered, "Huh? Could it be that the owner of the tomb is a big centipede? ”
Jiuda frowned, as if he couldn't figure out why this was happening, because he had only seen half of the murals, and there were indeed two pictures here, and he said at a loss, "I feel that this may have something to do with the customs of ethnic minorities." Some peoples, they like to decorate themselves with strange things, and here because the image is expressed in pictures, there is a possibility of distortion. ”
I didn't care, continued to look at the picture, in the front and back parts of the golden coffin, suddenly appeared as a door to see the pair of evil spirits, the difference is that the engraved evil spirits here are more realistic, it is almost lifelike, like the appearance of being able to walk down from the golden coffin.
The blind bear pointed to the top of the golden coffin and said, "Huh? There seems to be a line written on it, but the golden coffin is too tall to see clearly. Silly roe deer, come here and help! ”
