Chapter 57: The Altar in the Cave

Even if this blue and white porcelain bowl is an ancient treasure, even if it is valuable, Uncle Seven will not take any chances. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Uncle Seven thought of the mountains of treasures in the ancient tomb of Dogtou Mountain in Jizhuling, and second-hand goods like this, Uncle Seven really couldn't look down on them.

However, Uncle Seven thought that the blue and white porcelain bowl in front of him was very good-looking and had collectible value, but thinking that this porcelain bowl was placed in the aisle of the ancient tomb for no reason, even if he was worried in his heart, he didn't dare to take the risk of taking it.

I stood next to me and seemed to see Uncle Seven's hesitation, so I said to him, "Uncle Seven, don't take this porcelain bowl away." ”

Uncle Seven sighed, and finally glanced at the blue and white porcelain bowl on the soil foundation, "I'm too lazy to take it, just let it be where to put it, it's hard to say if it's worth it or not, besides, it's just a broken bowl, even if you take it, it's not worth much, and if you put it on your body, you feel that it's an eyesore." ”

After the seventh uncle finished speaking, he didn't allow everyone to think carefully, so he hurriedly asked everyone to walk to the aisle in the depths of the cemetery. Regarding what Uncle Seven just said, I know very well what Uncle Seven is like. Although Uncle Seven is not interested in this porcelain bowl on the surface, he is just disguised, as a treasure thief, it is strange that he doesn't love treasures!

This passage can be described as a mountain road, but rather as a cave. As everyone walked towards this cave, the surrounding scene became bigger and bigger, and the uneven rock walls around the cave were presented because they were artificially excavated, not naturally formed, so while everyone looked at the rock wall, they all felt that the shape of this cave was somewhat nondescript.

The cave was at least five meters high, and it was very large, and the ground was full of piles of rubble, and everyone walked along the way, except for the sound of footsteps, the whole cave seemed to be a little strangely quiet.

The black-bearded old man followed behind the white-bearded old man, looking at the strange shape of the cave, he was a little frightened, he pulled the sleeve of the white-bearded old man, and said in horror, "Brother, do you think the shape of this cave is a little terrifying!" It's like a devil's cave, haven't we walked into the devil's bloody mouth? ”

The white-bearded old man was well-informed, and although the shape of this cave was a little weird, he was not afraid, but felt a little surprised. After hearing the scared words of the black-bearded old man, he smiled at him and said, "Brother, don't be afraid, we are all treasure thieves, and we also encountered many strange and terrifying things in the concubine's tomb last time, as long as you overcome the fear in your heart, you won't be afraid." ”

"But, I'm really scared! When we entered the concubine's tomb before, we had never encountered such a terrifying picture! Seeing that the white-bearded old man comforted him, the black-bearded old man said another word, and at the same time leaned his restless head against the white-bearded old man's neck.

I followed Uncle Seven all the way, until I heard the old man with black beard behind me say that he was afraid, I turned around and sneered at him, "Old man with black beard, you are really more timid than a mouse, if I hadn't heard you say these words with my own ears today, I really wouldn't have seen that you are a treasure thief." ”

When the black-bearded old man saw me talking about him, he said angrily to me, "Who said that I am not a treasure thief, you are a little brat, your hair has not grown, dare to say that I am cowardly, I think back then, when I stole treasures in the ancient tomb, you were still nursing in your mother's arms!" ”

"What are you talking about, do you want to find death!" The old man with the black beard dared to be rude to me, I was a little emotional, I stretched out my hand, and I wanted to slap him in the face, your grandma, it's just a dead old man, you think I'm afraid of you.

Before I could stretch out my hand, the white-bearded old man took my hand and stopped, "Brother Bazai, my brother is like this dog, don't be like him." ”

Seeing the white-bearded old man interceding for the black-bearded old man, I don't plan to embarrass the black-bearded old man, but the appearance of the black-bearded old man is too funny, too timid, how can a timid treasure thief like him steal gold and silver treasures in the ancient tomb, casually see a few corpses, I'm afraid they have been frightened into delirium, let alone looking for treasures in the ancient tomb, if it is a thousand-year-old zongzi in the ancient tomb, a person like him should have seen the coffin a long time ago.

I don't know what kind of person the old man is, but it's true that the old man is cowardly in stealing treasures. From his every move, I can see that although the old man with a black beard is a treasure thief, loves money, and covets the treasures of the ancient tomb, he is greedy for life and afraid of death. But one thing I know for sure is that the old man with the black beard has a spirit of treasure theft. That spirit can make the black-bearded old man brave and fearless in the treasure theft. The black-bearded old man can die for the treasures in the ancient tomb, that is a will in his bones. Because the old man with the black beard loves money, he can wave around in the ancient tomb for treasure, and where there is treasure in the ancient tomb, the old man with the black beard will think of where the pig's head like a wooden donkey will come to mind, and this is what I can know.

Although I had only been with the old man for a month, I knew him well because he loved money.

"Something seems wrong up ahead?" After everyone walked towards the cave for more than ten minutes, Uncle Seven seemed to see some terrifying picture in front of him, and he was busy telling everyone to stop.

An altar appeared in front of the cave, and everyone was curious.

This altar is located on the right side of the cave, just a few meters away from the edge of the cave. This is an ancient altar, there is a Buddha statue on the altar, about two meters high, and there is a staircase under the altar, which is covered with a lot of dust, which looks very ancient.

The treasure thieves had never seen such a scene, and they were all very surprised by the altar in the cave, this altar was strangely built, it was ten meters long from east to west and about five meters wide from east to west, and the altar was carved with many ancient patterns around it.

Everyone was curious to take a look, but found that this pattern was all beast faces, and the paintings were all some birds and beasts, such as geese, wild pigeons, and so on.

I stared at the animal patterns around the altar and felt at a loss, so I asked Uncle Seven, "Uncle Seven, what do these animal patterns mean when they are painted on the altar?" I can't read it? ”

Uncle Seven just glanced at it and said to me, "That's an ancient tradition, a picture of a divine beast used by ancient people for sacrifices." ”

"What does the Divine Beast Diagram mean?" Seeing that Uncle Seven said about the Divine Beast Diagram, I was even more puzzled.

Uncle Seven explained for me, "The so-called divine beast diagram is a custom of ancient people believing in immortals, ancient people believed that divine beasts are immortals, it can bring auspiciousness to the world, can give the world a peaceful and prosperous world, however, the divine beast diagram is for sacrifice, the so-called sacrifice, is a way to worship the dead." The ancients believed that after death, people could obtain eternal life as long as they relied on the divine beast diagram, and even after death, they could also receive the favor of the immortal heaven. ”

"In that case, the pictures of the beasts around the altar are for sacrifice." I said.

Uncle Seven nodded at me and said with a smile, "That's right, it's indeed for sacrifice, I suspect that this altar in the cave is for the dead." ”

While I was talking to Uncle Seven, everyone walked up to the altar in the cave, and the screams of the black-bearded old man came from behind.

The crowd was startled and hurriedly turned their heads back. only to find that the black-bearded old man who was following behind had fallen somewhere. It turned out that the black-bearded old man was on the stairs of the altar, and his feet inadvertently tripped on the stairs, and he suddenly fell on all fours, and his face was swollen.

The white-bearded old man saw his younger brother and the black-bearded old man fall like this, and said distressedly, "Brother, you are okay, have you been injured in a fall?" ”

The black-bearded old man was crying with a sad face, his expression was extremely painful, and it seemed that the fall almost killed him.

After everyone comforted the old man with the black beard, they hurriedly looked around at the altar in the cave. Uncle Seven estimated that this altar in the cave may be part of the ancient tomb of Dogtou Mountain in Jizhuling, as for whether it is something in the ancient tomb, Uncle Seven can't guess, after all, everyone has not found the treasure in the ancient tomb, so they can't make a presumptuous assertion.

Whether this altar is related to the ancient tomb of Dogtou Mountain in Jizhuling or not, but it exists in the ancient tomb of Dogtou Mountain, perhaps this altar has a close connection with the ancient tomb.

There was nothing resembling antiques found on the altar, except for the animal patterns around the altar and a Buddha statue in the center of the altar.

Something like an antique didn't exist on the altar at all, so everyone turned their attention to the Buddha statue in the center of the altar.

This Buddha statue is made of a bronze body, the Buddha statue has a unique shape, the figure is beautifully carved, lifelike, like a fine and exquisite work of art.

I don't know what age this statue is, but it's very old, so I guessed that it must be a long time ago. So I asked Uncle Seventh what age this Buddha statue was, and whether it was worth it.

Uncle Seven looked at this Buddha statue for a long time, and he couldn't tell the age of this Buddha statue when he died, but after touching Uncle Qi's hand, he immediately noticed the specific age of this Buddha statue.

So, Uncle Seven explained to us, "If I'm not mistaken, this Buddha statue may be something from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." ”

"What, this Buddha statue is something from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I rely on it, the age is so old." At first, I thought that this Buddha was at most a thing from the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect the seventh uncle to say that it was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The Buddha statue of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can be preserved for thousands of years, I still hear it for the first time, after all, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has a history of at least 3,000 years from now, and this Buddha statue is made of copper, which can be preserved for 3,000 years, which is also a miracle.

"Then does this Buddha statue have some kind of connection with the ancient tomb of Dogtou Mountain in Jijialing?" The white-bearded old man asked.
