The three of them walked out of the tomb and reported everything that happened in the tomb to Mr. Guo Moruo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After hearing this, Mr. Guo Moruo shook his head and said, "This matter is a bit troublesome!" When I was in the Republic of China, I also encountered such a thing, the jargon of archaeology is called ghost reward. As soon as Mr. Guo Moruo's words came out, everyone, including 03, was stunned, not knowing why! Mr. Guo Moruo looked at 03 with a little curiosity, "Huh? You've never heard of this either? Mr. Guo Moruo asked 03:

03 shook his head, making it clear that he didn't know.

"Before you go to the tomb, I have read some relevant information and sorted out some thoughts, if nothing else, the tomb below should be Liu Sheng of the Han Dynasty!" Mr. Guo Moruo said quite firmly:

In the vast history of China, you can judge whose tomb it is by just a quantitative rough excavation.

In fact, Mr. Guo Moruo didn't dare to judge that it was Liu Sheng's tomb at first, but after listening to the tomb experience of these three people, he basically judged it.

02 Although there are still some undecided, when Mr. Guo Moruo said this, his inner desire for knowledge was sublimated, and he immediately asked curiously: "Liu Sheng, the one from King Jing of Zhongshan?" ”

Liu Sheng (165 BC-113 BC), the son of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, the half-brother of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, his mother was Mrs. Jia, and King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty. In the third year of the first century (154 years ago), he was named the king of Zhongshan. In the third year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (141 BC), Emperor Jing of Han died and Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne. At the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in view of the lessons of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, the ministers were critical of the princes and kings, and they sued the princes and kings for their mistakes at every turn. Liu Sheng reported all the things that the officials had embezzled and bullied the princes and kings to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty increased the courtesy of the princes, abolished the officials from reporting the affairs of the princes and kings, and gave favors to the princes and kings to serve their relatives. Liu Sheng liked wine and had more than 120 sons. And it is believed that the princes and kings should listen to music and enjoy singing and dancing beauties. In the fourth year of Yuan Ding (113 years ago), Liu Sheng died at the age of fifty-three, and was called Jing, known as King Jing of Zhongshan in history.

Mr. Guo Moruo nodded and said: "Liu Sheng was lustful before his death, but he was extremely jealous of his wife Dou Xuan's family power, so the couple have always been inseparable. Liu Sheng had four treasures before his death, three night pearls and a golden jade robe. Dou Juan likes it very much, and has always wanted to take these four treasures for himself, but Liu Sheng has his own plans, he dotes on the three concubines, according to Liu Sheng's meaning, it is three night pearls to the three concubines, and the most valuable golden jade clothes are given to Dou Juan. Liu Sheng's idea was known to Dou Juan, and Dou Juan didn't stop doing it, killing the three concubines that Liu Sheng loved one by one. Liu Sheng was very angry, and in a fit of anger, he took back the three night pearls, and even buried them until he died, and did not give them to Dou Xuan. Dou Juan must not be convinced, but Liu Sheng gave the funeral order, which could not be changed. Dou Xuan is eyes were red, looking at the three night pearls and following Liu Sheng into the coffin. ”

"Mr. Guo, what did you mean by that ghost reward just now?" 02, 03 asked in unison:

"Gu art was prevalent in the Western Han Dynasty, according to the "Postscript to the Cheng Han Dynasty" (Editor's note: In order to prevent readers from taking a seat, the title of the book here is a pseudonym. It is recorded that after Liu Sheng's death, Dou Juan Gaojin hired a person who summons rain (a person who knows Gu arts) to practice, the emperor asked, Dou Juan replied that it was for the dead Liu Sheng, to keep him safe in the underworld, but in fact, he wanted to return the three night pearls. The person who called the rain told Dou Huang that Dou Huang was difficult to do well from yin (editor's note: it is difficult to die well after death. ), to have a golden jade clothes to protect the body, the night pearl to protect the law. Dou Juan was convinced that he would definitely want Liu Sheng to accompany the burial of the three night pearls. The person who called the rain told me that I would do a 'mountain retreat', and someone would send it to you after you came from the clouds. But the premise is that your Yin Thing (Editor's note: coffin) is greater than Liu Sheng. Dou Juan listened to the letter, and in the three years after Liu Sheng's death, Dou Juan continued to play the imperial court through his relationship, posthumously sealing Liu Sheng, and ensuring that after his death, his coffin would be bigger than Liu Sheng's. Mr. Guo Moruo said:

"The Postscript of the Han Dynasty is the only historical book handed down from the Han Dynasty, and Mr. Guo can read through and memorize it, so he really deserves to be a generation of historians!" 02 After listening to it, I couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart.

"Mr. Guo, I still haven't understood the meaning of ghost reward!" 03 asked:

"Ghost tipping, as the name suggests, is a request from ghosts. It is the prototype of a kind of human-ghost trade. The so-called practice of the person who called the rain was nothing more than to use the ghost to reward and let people transfer the night pearl to Dou Juan's coffin. As soon as Mr. Guo Moruo said "human and ghost trading", 03 immediately understood, and after a sound of "ah......, he woke up like a dream and said, "I understand...... I've come across this...... The ghost trusts the dream, and asks you to help it complete the things in the tomb, and there will be a sum of yin wealth to give after completion! ”

Mr. Guo Moruo nodded and said, "I finally understand!" ”

Ghost reward is the prototype of human-ghost trading, and the soul of the dead will let the living people fulfill their unfulfilled wishes for it through dreams. Generally speaking, ghost tipping is a type of "human-ghost trading", and there are many types of human-ghost trading, but the type of ghost tipping is relatively simple. It needs to be done in the tomb, so the dream objects of the ghost reward are usually tomb robbers. This is also the reason why Mr. Guo Moruo said that 03 can be enlightened.

03 said with his own understanding: "Are these three tomb robbers received Dou Juan's ghost reward, so they came to this Liu Sheng's tomb, and after the theft of the night pearl, because the night pearl is priceless, they temporarily changed their minds, and did not want to put it in Dou Juan's coffin, which provoked Dou Juan's revenge, two of them died in Dou Juan's coffin, and one person could have escaped from the tomb, but when he was on the upper chong road, he died!" ”

Mr. Guo Moruo nodded, then shook his head and said, "Half of it is right, and the other half is not accurate!" ”

"And half of it is not accurate?" 01, 02, and 03 all looked at Mr. Guo Moruo in surprise, and put on a deaf look.

"Hmmm! Have you ever thought that if you were really hurt by Dou Juan's resentment, how could two people die in Dou Juan's coffin? Mr. Guo Moruo asked:

"Well, I think I understand!" Suddenly, 01, who had always been a layman, blurted out and said:

"You understand, what about you?" Mr. Guo Moruo looked at 01 with a little encouraging look and asked:

"Because those three people are not greedy enough, they stole the night pearl, and they want to go to Dou Juan's coffin to see it!" 01 said in one sentence: (To be continued)
