Chapter 32: The Tomb Within a Tomb
The lamp in the hands of Ni Tian and Jin Buyi had completely lit up the long-sealed tomb, and I could see the entire tomb through the small bronze door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The scale of the tomb is slightly spectacular, the overall layout is rectangular, and the walls around it are carved with many different kinds of frescoes, and the top of the frescoes are intricately carved in stone.
In the four corners of the burial chamber, there are four huge lanterns, of course, which have been extinguished in some year.
In the center of the burial chamber is an octagonal protruding staircase, and at each of the eight corners of the staircase stands eight huge round stone pillars leading to the roof of the chamber. On each stone pillar, there seems to be a coiled dragon carved on each side, winding straight up, winding around the stone pillars, and at the same time, it is also covered with dense, incomprehensible words and symbols.
In the middle of the steps, there are two identical huge stone coffins, which are more than two meters long, and there seems to be something carved on the sarcophagus.
Viewed from a distance, the arrangement of this sarcophagus and the octagonal stone pillars of the steps, at a glance, looks like a huge birdcage, trapping the two sarcophagi in it.
I glanced at Ni Tian on the side, his expression was a little shocked, I guessed that he saw something amazing, so I asked, "Uncle Tian, what's wrong?" ”
Ni Tian didn't seem to hear my question at all, but the expression on his face changed rapidly, stunned, confused, thoughtful, and in a daze.
I'm even more confused, and I'm a little uneasy, damn me? Isn't this going to be another moth? Pushed Ni Tian: "Uncle Tian? Uncle Tian! ”
Ni Tian came back to his senses, looked at me, and then looked at the two huge stone coffins, and then spoke: "This ...... Is it a Qin tomb!? How can it be? ”
When Ni Tian said this, it is estimated that he himself was not quite sure of what he said, and his words were full of doubts, let alone me.
"Huh? What? Qin tomb? "I grew up with a mouthful of confusion, and this time I was really completely confused. Involuntarily stretched out his hand and plucked out his ears, almost thinking that something was wrong with his ears, Qin Tomb? No kidding, aren't we going down to the tomb of the Mongols?
Ni Tianwei's eyes looked at the two identical coffins on the steps with a suspicious expression, as if he was deep in thought again, and he didn't have the slightest intention to respond to me.
", tomb within a tomb?! Jin Ye, I have made so many fights, and it is the first time I have encountered such a strange tomb. Jin Bu touched the gold necklace around his neck with his hand, muttering to himself, it seemed that he had no objection to Ni Tian's judgment, this was indeed the tomb of Qin.
My mind is already a mess, these two are veterans in this industry, and it is naturally impossible to judge such a trivial matter as the mausoleum dynasty at the same time. It's just that under a grassland lake, there is a mausoleum of the Qin Dynasty at the bottom of a Mongolian mausoleum, which seems to be too nonsense, right? Who would want to build their own tomb on top of someone else's? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
I looked at the two stone coffins, which were identical no matter how I looked at them. I guessed who was buried here. Who is the Qin people? Or the Mongols? Or both? If it is true that the two were buried here, then why did the Mongols choose to be buried with a Qin person?
In terms of dynasties, the difference between the Qin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty is thousands of years, logically speaking, it must be that the Qin people were buried here first, and then the Mongols chose to be buried with them, which is even more puzzling. And the thing I can't figure out the most is, what does all this have to do with the fourth uncle?
I rubbed my forehead, and I was trapped by illogical, unrelated mysteries. What I was holding in my hand at the moment seemed to be a messy hemp rope, and the more I tried to untie it, the more tightly it was entangled, and I couldn't start it.
"It doesn't matter what dynasty he belongs to, as long as it's a human tomb, let's rush the underworld, these yellow eggs really gave Jin Ye me, an unexpected surprise." I was really impressed by Jin Buchang's heartlessness, and in the blink of an eye, he put this mystery behind him, and walked towards the steps surrounded by stone pillars with a crowbar.
Ni Tian looked at Jin Buchang's swaying from side to side, carrying a crowbar in one hand, with a slightly free and easy fat back, shook his head a little helplessly, and also walked towards the sarcophagus.
I sighed, and gave up thinking about these messy mysteries, since the two of them had decided to get going, God knows what would happen in this gloomy tomb, and I had to keep up closely.
When I got closer, I could see clearly that the octagonal staircase was also carved with some strange patterns on the ground. It's just that compared to the huge coiling dragon and strange patterns on the stone pillars, the patterns on the ground are much simpler, all of them are some strange horizontal bars of different lengths, and in the middle of these horizontal bars are placed the two identical stone ancient coffins.
I frowned, I always felt that these horizontal bars seemed to be a little familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere before, and I just wanted to ask Ni Tian for advice. Before I could speak, Ni Tian gasped and slowly spit out four words: "Fuxi gossip!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "This is a gossip map?" "No wonder I feel familiar, Ni Tian said this, the pattern of the octagonal steps on the ground is indeed somewhat similar to the gossip pattern I have seen before.
Ni Tian shook his head: "In a normal sense, the gossip maps we said and saw were all acquired gossip maps, also called King Wen's gossip." ”
I nodded, and shook my head again, I don't have any research on metaphysics, and the little knowledge I know is nothing more than coming from some film and television works.
Seeing my reaction like this, Ni Tian knew that I must not have understood, and explained: "You always know the god list, right? King Wen of Zhou used his own 64 trigrams of King Wen, and the most famous "Book of Changes" was written on the basis of this King Wen's eight trigrams. Nowadays, easy learning, mathematics, divination, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, feng shui, etc., are also used in this Wenwang gossip. ”
I am naturally no stranger to the god list, those powerful people who fly away from the sky in the book, and it was also the innocent yearning in my childhood heart, let me ask which teenager has never had a fairy dream in his heart? It's just that in the face of growth, we have slowly recognized the virtual and the real, and understood the true and the false......
Ni Tian now mentions King Wen of Zhou in the list of gods, which makes me a little surprised, if this King Wen's gossip is real, is there really an unpredictable prophet in this world?
"Xiaoyi, let me ask you, if it is a legend and wants to be passed down for thousands of years, what does it rely on?" Ni Tian suddenly asked another question that puzzled me.
Has it been passed down for thousands of years? If you talk about modern times, this is easy to do, you can make up a story casually, and once the media publicizes it, if someone wants to find out about it hundreds of years later, it is probably not difficult. Is it just this antiquity...... Book records? But where are the ancient legends like Nuwa mending the sky in that era that were recorded in any books? I thought about it for a while, chose an answer that I thought was reasonable, and replied tentatively: "Word of mouth? ”
Ni Tian nodded with satisfaction, but threw me a very deep problem: "Yes, word of mouth, but have you thought about it?" If there is no truth in a story, who wants to pass it on from word to mouth? ”
I was speechless for a while, Ni Tian's words are not bad, a completely fictional story, if you want to pass it on for thousands of years without being recognized, it is naturally impossible. However, if the truth is involved in this fabricated story, it will become a legend and spread for a long time.
This truth is just like the highest level of lying, which is a mixture of truth and falsehood. So, in this way, which part of those legends that have been passed down for thousands of years is true, which is a bit intriguing......
