Chapter 9 Human Death is Especially a Dream of Immortals Zhumen opens a place to ban slaves

Digging more than ten meters, finally the last layer of soil to pierce through, revealing a swarthy passage, I didn't dare to venture in, buried in the mountain for so many years who knows if there is air inside, I lie at the mouth of the passage with a flashlight to look inside, the passage is very much like a natural cave, in addition to the ground is very flat, in other places can rarely see traces of artificiality.

After reading it, I climbed back to the ground, found some thick branches and leaves and some rocks nearby to cover the hole, and then picked up my backpack and began to descend the mountain, the reason why I didn't rush in was because it was now dark, and it was easy to be spotted in broad daylight, and it was just a good time to let the air in.

After a busy night, I went home and fell asleep, and I didn't get up until dark, and went out to eat something, and then I went up to Gu's Mountain again, and when I arrived at the place, I first observed around, and after making sure that no one had come, I removed the cover at the entrance of the cave, and bent down and climbed in.

Although it had been a day's breath, the air in the passage was still a little damp, and I turned on my flashlight as I walked inside, looking at the walls around it, and sure enough, this was originally a natural cave, but it had been modified into a tomb.

Walked in the passage for about twenty minutes, the wide passage is considered to come to an end, facing a vermilion lacquer gate with horns and cornices, five or six steps in front of the door stands a stone tablet, the tablet says Xianfu house, mortals do not break through.

The door is closed, two knockers hang quietly on it, next to the threshold stand two stone carved door piers, decorated with cloud patterns, the two shadow walls outside the porch are carved with peony flowers, several rafters stretched out on the eaves are painted with the bat pattern of blessings, and the lintel that should have hung the plaque is painted with a picture of the ascension of chickens and dogs, I can't help but want to laugh when I see this picture, I really think of myself as a fairy, I really don't know what kind of character is buried in this tomb, a handful of loess buried dry bones, still dreaming of immortals.

Although there are not a few people who want to become immortals after death in ancient times, but there is no such direct regard for the tomb as a fairy house, but this tomb door is somewhat interesting, and it is actually done like the door of an ordinary house, I originally wanted to explore the situation inside through the crack in the door, but the workmanship of these two wooden doors is really good, and there is not even a gap left, so I had to dispel the idea of investigation, and changed it to directly push the door in.

However, in order to prevent the door from being set up with some hidden arrow mechanism or something, I squatted and hid on the side of the door to push it, but I didn't push it open under a push, and I added more force, and the door still didn't move, as if someone had inserted it from the inside.

It's not an emperor's mausoleum, and it's a whole door, I cursed in my heart, got up and began to look around for the mechanism to open the door, and I found that it was all bricks and stones, and finally found that the only thing that could be used as a mechanism was the pair of shiny beast head knockers on the door.

I came to the door again, grabbed the two knockers and pulled hard, the door did not open, but the two knockers moved gently when pulling, it seems that it is right, this knocker is the mechanism to open the door, but it is not used to pull, I changed to pull to twist, both hands at the same time, twist in the opposite direction at the same time, this time the two knockers began to rotate with my hands, when turning to the general, I heard a "click" sound, the door opened in response, and a cold air came from the door, Then there was a heart-pounding scene, and there was a woman standing quietly where the door opened.

The woman was dressed in a white robe, bowing her head and waist as if to welcome the arrival of guests, her long hair was loose and down, and a black cloth strip was tied in a knot around her waist.

I pulled out the probe ruler from behind my back to protect my chest, and slowly retreated backwards, until I retreated to the stone tablet, staring at the woman in white in the doorway from a distance, and stalemate for a while but did not see any change in the woman, just stood there with her head bowed.

It's the most annoying situation, it's too much of a test of people's nerves, just like a death row prisoner, just shoot it and kill it like that, there's nothing to be afraid of, but you have to tell him in advance, let him be tormented in the shadow of death, if you want to kill and scrape, it's a pleasure, I quickly glanced at the ground, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over, "Bang" sound, hit the woman's head, and then see that the woman is still the same action.

It's just that there seems to be something wrong, and the sound doesn't sound like it's hit on the flesh, so I cautiously moved across the threshold, came to the woman's not far away, and picked up the hair covering the face with a probe ruler to see, it turned out to be a mud tire that fooled people, and it was really like it, and the white on the face was all paint, and the old man was like a neuropathy for a long time.

Take a closer look, there is a wooden waist card pinned to the waist of the clay sculpture, engraved with two words "forbidden slave", which is a bit interesting, what is the forbidden slave, as the name suggests, is specifically responsible for guarding the gatekeeper of the curfew, in ancient times, some large families will open a room at the gate, choose an old person to guard the door, in addition to being responsible for the daily opening and closing of the door, there is also a very heavy task is to welcome guests, but they are all men, there is no woman as the gatekeeper.

And in the general tomb, in order to avoid the soul of the tomb owner being disturbed by some lonely souls and wild ghosts, tomb beasts will be placed at the tomb door, and there will be tomb generals with higher specifications.

It's really a big day, it's said that I've seen it for a long time, if the master is still alive, I know that today's thing is estimated to be able to laugh off my teeth, after a false alarm, I shook the flashlight and continued to go inside, out of the door hole is a relatively wide burial chamber, because it is a cave transformation, and not much transformation has been carried out, basically retaining the original form of the cave,.

The furnishings in the tomb are very popular, and they are also very simple, the ground is spread on a thick carpet, so many years have passed, it is still very dry, but the dust on it is a little thick, and it is soft and collapsed when stepped on, and every time it lands, it will shake up some dust, there is a table of eight immortals and four chairs in the center, and there is a teapot and teacup on the table, and there is a lamp, and the fire letter is still there, but I don't know if I can light it, I picked up a teacup from the table and gently scraped it a few times in the lamp, and the dust was separated and revealed a layer of yellow underneath, Something like grease will tremble slightly when the cup touches it.

I took out a lighter and tried to light it, but I didn't expect it to be real, but the smell was a little strange, with the fire, the tomb was brighter, I turned off the flashlight, held the lamp and began to observe the situation in the tomb again.

A little further back, the table of the Eight Immortals is a low pedestal made of black stone, on which is placed a noseless collapse, I don't know what kind of material these furniture are, but it can withstand the baptism of the years, and has been completely preserved to this day, and it will not be a mortal wood in the future.

I can't see anything from behind, all the sight is blocked on the marble screen that is about to collapse, the walls on both sides are hanging or standing, there are a lot of blue flags, I saw some, except for the two largest flags embroidered: Shengshan Xuanpo, the others are some Taoist blessings, such as: protect the ten directions, the immortal virtue is widely covered, heaven and earth are benevolent, and the disaster is relieved.

In addition to these large and small flags, there is also a doorway on the wall on both sides, according to the pattern of the tomb, there will be the front hall, the nave, the apse and the number of ear chambers (also called the side hall), the front hall generally does not place any items, there will be stone seats, table cases, etc. in the nave, the apse is the burial place of the coffin of the tomb owner, and the ear chamber is used to present some articles and burial goods of the tomb owner during his lifetime.

Like this kind of small scale, the natural cave hastily transformed into a tomb, directly omitting the useless front hall, basically a four-room and three-tunnel pattern, that is, the front and back rooms, the left and right rooms, so the furnishings of the tomb I am now in, should be the front room, behind the marble screen should be the back room or the corridor leading to the back room, and the door holes on the left and right sides of the wall should be the ear chamber where the funerary goods are placed, but look at this rather simple tomb to know what valuable things will be in the ear room as a burial, But I'm here to rob the tomb, so I still have to take a look, in case the fate that the master said is inside.

I held the lamp and walked to the left ear room, the door hole is very low, can only bend down to enter, the inside is not very big, said to be the ear room, in fact, is to dig a small cave, all sides have been dug into a five-layer ladder shape, there are some clay pots, porcelain bowls and the like, the most valuable is the copper mirror, copper furnace and other small bronze utensils, the largest one is also the most worth mentioning, is a beautiful pottery tree standing on the right side.

The pottery tree is more than one meter high, there are flying birds on it, there is a three-color glaze, it is obvious Tang Dynasty style, it seems that this tomb must be after the Sui Dynasty, because the three-color glaze color originally appeared in the Tang Dynasty, because the tire is brittle, the waterproof performance is very poor, it is a kind of Ming ware that began to rise in the Tang Dynasty and was specially used for burial.

Coming out of the left ear chamber, I walked into the right ear chamber, the door opening of this ear chamber is wider and higher than the left ear chamber, the space in the ear chamber is also much larger, and the funerary goods are a lot more high-end, this is an ear chamber used to place the funeral carriage and horses, there are three carriages, the ground is a well-shaped horse skeleton, roughly counted about nearly twenty bodies, in addition to the carriage, horses match the set of stirrups, reins and some common weapons such as swords.

The carriages and harness had begun to decay, and were not very well preserved, and I had turned around here and found nothing useful, so I left the right chamber and prepared to go to the back room to check it out, but as soon as I got around the marble screen, I was stunned by the strange sight before me.
