Xiangxi Suspicious Tomb Chapter 5 Fighting God Golden Whip (3)
"When I was young, I followed the teachers of the research institute to go deep into Qindi to investigate the customs of the local remnants, and I once saw this huge zombie in a deserted village. In the scorching summer heat, and without refrigeration equipment, the corpses were rotten and the maggots were decomposed on the way to transportation, and we could not get first-hand investigation information. Later, we interviewed a lot of local people, and there was one Feng Shui gentleman who said the most interestingly. He said that the black zombie in Qindi has existed since ancient times, and it is all artificial. Legend has it that King Qin often used living people to make real medicine in refining medicine, first taking medicine and then giving death. But how can the Yellow and White Immortal Technique be enjoyed by mortals, some people die and never wake up, and those who wake up have become huge and ferocious black zombies. This black zombie is different from ordinary white and red fierce, and is not afraid of water and fire, and even glutinous rice and donkey hooves cannot restrain them. In the end, Qin Shi Huang had to sacrifice the golden whip of the beating god, which suppressed the black zombie in the Xianyang area. In order to avoid the expansion of the situation, he ordered people to repair the coffin and build a tomb, and sealed the black fierce zombies into the underground palace in batches, and the golden whip of the god was hidden on the top of Mount Tai and enshrined to suppress the corpse qi. ”
"You mean, the carvings on these two doors are the passage of King Qin's hidden corpse back then?" Shirley Yang pointed to the general on the door and said, "Is the weapon in his hand the golden whip that Mr. Feng Shui said?" ”
Professor Li pushed his glasses and said, "I deliberately investigated the origin of this golden whip when I was collecting wind among the people. There is a folk song in the Wuhu area, when Qin Shi Huang exhausted the world's people to build the Great Wall, one day, an old woman who sold red thread came to the construction site, and a kind craftsman saw that she was old and frail, so he encouraged the workers to buy her a thread each. The old woman told everyone that when carrying the burden and carrying the stone, you can borrow this line. At first they thought it was a joke, but then some of them were too tired to move, so they took out the red thread and tied it between the burdens, and the full load of stones suddenly became lighter than goose feathers. After Ying Zheng heard about this, he forcibly took the red line from the workers and handed it to Fang Shi for investigation, and the Fang Shi frankly said that this thing was a treasure of the immortal family, and it had the divine ability to open mountains and rivers. Ying Zheng was overjoyed and made the red line into a long whip. This is the golden whip used to suppress the black murderers later. ”
"Most of the myths and legends are the product of the suffering of the working people, and they cannot be trusted. Even if you really tell you right, behind the door is a black zongzi sentenced to life imprisonment by Qin Shi Huang, so what? We are here to save people, and the prison escape is not our business. ”
"You're a person who doesn't have the heart to study at all. If it's really a black fierce zongzi, then it's a big step closer to me finding Fengyi. Fat brother, are you injured, why do you keep holding your shoulders? ”
"Uncle, my arm was broken when you were in your fugue, and you only reacted now, it's really fucking excessive. Alas, can you really open this door? I said Lao Li, don't hold on to your face to save face, have you seen my arm? A lesson in blood. ”
"That's the wrong way you opened the door. This gate was made of meteoric iron, with the help of counterforces. The harder you push, the greater the reaction. To put it bluntly, your arm is equivalent to destroying it in your own hands. ”
"I**, what else do you say? Isn't Lao Tzu's hand broken in vain? But how can this evil thing be broken? Do you want to go up and find explosives? ”
Seeing that the more these two talked about the outrageous it became, I had no choice but to interrupt: "Now that the matter has been clarified, let's find it in a different way, no one is in it anyway." If you really want to study it, you have to wait until the entire Niangniang's grave is dug up. ”
"I am willing to dedicate myself to science. If you have an opinion, just fuck off. ”
"Hey! You old man, we are kind enough that you are still treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. The fat man also had a violent temper, so he pulled me up and said, "Let's go, don't be like this stinky old nine." Later, when I met Captain Jiang, I said that Professor Li had sacrificed his life for the country. ”
Shirley Young interrupted our argument with a frown, and she - shhh ”
I meditated on it, and soon I heard what she was saying, and there was an intermittent clatter sound in the chamber that resembled rodents gnawing on wood. The fat man optimistically estimated that the rat had penetrated the soil to find food in the tomb. Professor Li said: "Don't forget, there are sealing stones around the tomb, and ordinary beasts can't dig in. ”
There was a sound in the coffin showroom, which should have been empty, and the doubts in my heart grew louder and louder with the sound of biting.
"Professor Li, you said earlier that there is a way to open this meteorite door, is it true?"
Professor Li did not speak, but just spread his arms at the same time, gently hiding in the center of the two doors. He looked up and said, "This kind of door containing meteoric iron is also called light and heavy door, and it must be opened by two equal forces at the same time, and it will not be wrong in the slightest. You don't know the essentials, and you blindly try to take it, but you hurt yourself. With that, his ten fingers curled slightly, and the two huge tiger bite stone doors made a clattering sound, and then they opened open.
I didn't have time to admire the delicate craftsmanship of the stone gate, and I was already disturbed by the constant biting sound in the darkness. Previously, because of the heavy stone door as a partition, the sound was not very loud, but now as soon as the giant door opened, the noise was immediately amplified several times, and in the darkness it was still possible to easily distinguish the direction from which the sound came.
"Let's go." I stepped through the door first, and when I entered, I realized that the burial chamber was much smaller than I had imagined. Within the scope of the flashlight, you can see the jade hanging above the wall, and the fat man saw the jade, and his heart suddenly burst into joy: "Lao Hu come and help me, the medical expenses can be regarded as settled." ”
The fat man swung a shovel with one hand to hook off the jade gyu nailed to the wall. 9 Professor Li was taken aback by him: "Be cautious about cultural relics, how can you be so casual." Don't rush to get it yet, opening the coffin is the right thing. ”
Yugui is also called - Zhong Kui -, the whole is rectangular, the top is pointed and the bottom is a magic weapon that has been handed down from the Shang Dynasty to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts. In general, there are two small holes embedded in the jade kyu, which is convenient for threading the rope and lead as a wizard's mask to cast spells. "There seems to be some kind of inseparable connection between Zhong Kui and our legendary ghost-fighting hero, Zhong Kui. I walked in the direction of the Yugui lineup, and within ten steps I saw the circle of hanging coffins. I counted eighteen coffins arranged in circles like this in the burial chamber, each in groups of six, neatly displayed in three circles in the east, west, and north directions of the burial chamber. Strangely, as we entered the burial chamber, the biting sound that had been rattling before disappeared without a trace, as if every qiē just now was my hallucination.
It was the first time I had faced such a huge number of coffins at the same time, and I couldn't help but beat drums in my heart. Shirley Young walked around to me and leaned down to examine the perimeter of the coffin.
"There is no lacquer pattern around the side box, the four corners are nailed with wooden wedges, and the overall craftsmanship is not exquisite, no matter how you look at it, it is not worthy of the legend of the tomb of the concubine."
"How can there be a statement that there are eighteen coffins of Niangniang, in my opinion, those tea legends are unreliable, but the black zongzi painted on the meteorite iron gate is more reliable." The fat man was still struggling with Yugui on the wall, and I told him not to move, lest he hurt his muscles and bones again. He pointed to the coffin ring and said, "Don't you want Yugui, do you want a coffin?" If a few foreign rice dumplings really pop out, everyone will have to take a break. ”
"Let's play." I'm most afraid of the crow's mouth of the fat man, every time I don't say good things, I say bad things one by one. "I'll just check and check, and don't break the law. Let's see where the sound came from, why did it disappear as soon as we entered the door? ”
Shirley Yang was also very concerned about the biting sound, and said: "There is nothing else in the tomb except the coffin wood, let's check if there is any broken coffin first, if it is really an animal such as a mouse, it is reassuring." At this time, Professor Li was lying on the corner of the wall like a lost soul, and it was estimated that the old mistake had been committed again. This time, I didn't bother to bother with his research, and began to investigate the coffin with Shirley Young.
"Have you ever considered the reason for arranging the coffins like this?" Shirley Jan said as he jumped into the center of the circle and bent down to look at the inside.
"Since this is a mass grave, this arrangement probably follows some custom. Some peoples have an unusual attachment to certain directions, symbols, and colors. Judging from the first-hand information we currently have, there is no doubt that this is a Qin tomb, and it is not known whether the noble concubine of the Song Dynasty is also buried here. However, according to the current situation, it is difficult to draw conclusions without opening the coffin and ascertaining the identity of the tomb owner. ”
