Chapter 137: The End of the Secret Passage
The air in the secret passage is much better than the mass grave, I thought this was the same as in the movie "Tunnel War", it would be a long passage that was horizontal and vertical, to my surprise and Cha Wenbin, the length of this passage was only more than ten meters, when he pushed away a stone slab pressed on top of his head, we came out, where did this secret passage lead, the result was really unexpected.
Cha Wenbin opened the stone slab, and when I was pulled out of the secret passage by him, I found that this was a room, and the door at the exit of the room seemed familiar to me, it turned out that this was the main burial chamber that we wanted to go to but didn't go to just now!
The exit of the secret passage was directly in front of the main coffin, and on top of it was a large vat, which I shone on, and it was filled with something like grease, and a twisted thread on it that had been scorched. Cha Wenbin said: "This should be the legendary 10,000-year-old lamp, it seems that it will be extinguished not long after it is lit, and the dream of vain hope of 10,000-year light after death is a bubble after all." ”
The vat doesn't look like an ordinary thing, the whole body is crystal clear, and the light of the fire fold can feel that the oil inside is flowing, and the shape is very similar to the world-famous Liangzhu jade in Zhejiang.
Behind the vat is the main coffin, which is quietly placed on the flat ground, the coffin is made of a whole piece of wood, about two meters high, about four meters long, unpainted, with a log color. Although it has been thousands of years, the wood is so well preserved that it looks like it was freshly cut, so it must be of the highest quality.
The moldy smell in this tomb is different from that in ordinary tombs, and there is a little fragrance when you smell it carefully, but Cha Wenbin and I are not in the mood to appreciate these at the moment, because the coffin has obvious traces of being opened, and the gap has not yet closed, which is obviously not what it looked like when it was first buried.
Cha Wenbin gave me a look, and I took five and a half to look around, and there was a candlestick on the wall here, eight in total. The dark environment can be particularly depressing, I gestured to ask Cha Wenbin if he could light it, and after getting his response, I lit these candles that had not yet burned out one by one, and the dancing fires were one after another, and slowly, the whole tomb was lit up.
With the light you can revisit the place, there is no burial, there is nothing in the main burial chamber except this coffin, but the walls around are covered with frescoes, and they are all made of the same red paint that was used on the tomb when they entered outside. These murals were carefully decorated by craftsmen, I counted them, there were a total of six pictures, the pictures are all painted some landscapes and people, for me who has no artistic cells, these things I have a headache when I look at them.
Cha Wenbin looked at these pictures with interest, I really didn't want to face the big coffin alone, so I followed him to the side and asked, "Don't open the coffin?" ”
Cha Wenbin nodded and said, "There is still half an hour of dawn, for the sake of safety, I want to wait until dawn before I do it." ”
I was puzzled: "It's still dark here when it's dawn." ”
"As soon as the day dawns, the yang energy will be heavy, and there is a mass grave below this place, and I don't know how many years of anger I have been saving all through this secret passage just to get here, if the owner of this coffin is a zongzi, I am not very sure, so I can weaken him by one point."
"Then if he is really a zongzi, will he jump out directly?"
Cha Wenbin thought for a while and said, "Yes!" "I thought to myself: Your uncle!
"But this painting is very interesting, this picture should be the story of Fuxi and Nuwa's marriage, you see that this scaly body is Fuxi, and the snake body is Nuwa. Fu Xi's head is holding the sun, the ball in Nuwa's hand is the moon, and their private parts are covered with a cloud, which should be the story of the two of them reproducing in the afterlife. If you look at the villain behind it, it should be descendants, and they are worshipping their ancestors. ”
I followed him to the second picture, and I can understand the story on this picture, because I have read the book, and there is a man with a stick in his hand, and in front of him is a surging flood, and there are many people who follow him to fight against the flood, and I asked him, "This should be said to be Dayu's control of the water, right?" ”
Cha Wenbin nodded and said: "Yes, do you see the half-submerged thing in the river, I think it may be the Ding cast by the legendary Dayu, the painting is really good." ”
The next picture is interesting, there are many things that look like men and beasts fighting each other, and the leader has a pair of horns on his head, eight legs attached to his body, and all six arms holding various weapons. On the other side are humanoid troops, they look much weaker than the other side, but behind them there is a dragon with wings outstretched, this picture I also see with relish, I can really go back to the ancient war of the golden iron horse through this mural.
"The Battle of the Deer! Chiyou fought the emperor, Ying Long Gaoshui, and the female Lu descended to earth. Cha Wenbin frowned and said to me: "I think something is wrong, this is the story of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it stands to reason that the tombs of later generations should appear in the mural information of his era, how can I get some legends." ”
I replied, "Maybe they're from that era." ”
"It's impossible, look over there, I want to see the information about the owner of this tomb through the mural, it's all useless."
The fourth picture is also quite interesting, here is a man riding a bull and riding clouds, and there are three other such people in front of him who are also riding oxen, but from the perspective of clothing and ecology, the four of them are the same except for their different postures, including the shape of the mount and the clouds. Seeing this, I didn't feel much of it, but Cha Wenbin was different, his heart was chuckled, and he came back to his senses and said to me: "Xiaoyi, if I find out the origin of these paintings, I'm afraid it will really turn the world upside down." ”
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Look at what is painted on this picture, this painting is my Taoist ancestor Laojun!" After speaking, Cha Wenbin hurriedly bowed to the mural and said to me: "Over the years, I have been puzzled, what is the so-called one gas and three clears, I have followed my master to worship three clears since I was a child, but my master told me that these three clears are not the other three clears. Whenever I wanted to ask him, he always avoided answering, and when I asked in a hurry, he said that you will understand when you arrive. Until today, I saw this picture in my heart was a little suddenly enlightened, the so-called one gas three clear does not refer to the beginning of the beginning, Lingbao, Taishang Sanjun for the void of nature Lao Jun illusion, he is fundamentally talking about Shangqing, Yuqing, Taiqing three stages. You see that everything is the same in the portraits, except that their beards change, from short to long. ”
I said, "Illustrate that these are portraits of three time periods?" ”
"That's right, this is talking about the past, present and future, the so-called Lao Jun is just a description. The purpose is to say that all laws are one, and different paths lead to the same end. Whether it is Laojun or Sanqing, it does not represent any actual anything, but only explains the word 'Dao'. The Tao is everywhere and manifests everywhere, whether it is heaven and earth, all things, each has three clears. This is a process, a process from nothing to something, from existence to nothing, you see that this fourth person is as long as the first person's beard, and what it means is that Lao Jun's Taoism has reached a state where it can arbitrarily reach the past and the future, just like the Taoism says, yin and yang are declining, alternating. Speaking of excitement, Cha Wenbin grabbed my shoulder and said: "This is an extremely important discovery, I feel that my whole person has suddenly understood a lot of truths that I couldn't figure out in the past!" ”
"Don't worry, there's another one over there." I saw that he was happy, and my mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and I hurriedly went over to look at the fifth picture, which I felt uncomfortable at a glance, why? Because this picture depicts two people opening a coffin!
Cha Wenbin was also stunned at first glance, the meaning of this picture could not be more simple and clear, this is not what he and I will do next! And there was a person in the coffin in this painting, and that person was hugging the two people who opened the coffin!
"Cha Ye, this ......"
Cha Wenbin comforted me and said, "Don't be afraid, this picture should be done on purpose, and the purpose must be to scare those tomb robbers who may come in." ”
"Really?" "Seriously! Also, don't you think it's strange that this place is so big, and the two of their 'dead bodies' haven't appeared so far, could it be that they are not here? ”
He and I turned our attention to the coffin at the same time, and if there were no Tibetans, then there would be only one burial chamber on each side of the main burial chamber, which according to the rules of burial, was usually the most valuable burial goods. Because we are not tomb robbers, we have no interest in these things, and we forget that there are still these two places that we have not explored.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a black shadow flashing on the wall, and I and Cha Wenbin turned around at the same time, only to hear the "whew" and then disappeared, and then I found that the original lit 10,000-year-old lamp in the vat had been extinguished at some point......
Say:
Today's third watch is over, good night, sleep, our list is in the top 10, I think if you support, in a few days, we can be in the top five and the top three, or even the first!
Thank you again for your hard work!
