Chapter 32 Clever Escape from the Bagua Array
After listening to Yang Zhongkui's deeds, I learned that Dolgon knew that there were too many enemies in the court, and he was afraid that he would not be at peace after death, so he built a mausoleum here. The three of them were soldiers who built this underground palace, and then they were hit by the illusion of the demon eye, and like us, they successfully escaped from the dream and did not die, and then they have been guarding the passage just now, which is the wounded door of this gossip array, and we entered the wrong tunnel through the alley and broke through the wounded door by mistake.
I said, "The prince wants to kill you, why do you still help him guard the tomb for hundreds of years." ”
He said: "Since ancient times, in order to ensure the safety of the royal mausoleum, those who build tombs and tombs will inevitably die, and the prince will not kill us, but only let us sleep with the method of demon beasts on the array, which is already a great mercy." Moreover, the prince had a life during his lifetime, and anyone who could survive could become a military general who guarded the injured door and glorified his ancestors. Although my Yang family is a Han in the Central Plains, but since ancient times, the word loyalty and righteousness have stood in heaven and earth. ”
I was sincerely moved by what I heard, in the society we live in, this kind of person has long been extinct, and these three people can guard a dead man for hundreds of years for the sake of loyalty and righteousness, in today's words, it is too credibility.
I clasped my hands into fists and bowed deeply to the three of them in a deep expression of my heartfelt admiration. As soon as I looked down I noticed a fire in the corner of the wall in the distance, and the three men got out of the way, and I walked a few steps forward, and then I heard a faint voice, shouting: "Zhanxiao, Zhanxiao." ”
My scalp is tingling, how can anyone here call out my name? I looked back at Yang Zhongkui and them, they just laughed, and their white hair trembled. I listened carefully again, only to suddenly realize that this familiar voice was that of the fat brother.
I hurriedly ran over, only to see a square in the corner of the wall, two meters deep pit, the fat brother held a lighter in one hand, covered his crotch with the other, one leg was erected on the pit wall, and the other leg was folded and stuck in the bottom corner of the pit.
Because his legs were too open, the fat brother screamed in pain, and the fat brother wailed: "Zhanxiao, Zhanxiao, hurry up and save me, after it is broken, this time it is really broken." ”
Only then did I know that the fat brother's disappearance just now turned out to be that he fell into a pit, and he actually mistakenly thought that it was a witchcraft that could make people disappear.
At this time, other people also came over, Yang Zhongkui put the gun into the pit, the fat brother grabbed it, only a light tug, the fat brother of more than 200 catties was on the edge of the pit, and when the fat brother climbed up, Sister Hua still smiled with tears on her face and said: "May I ask this chubby little pot friend, have you crossed over?" ”
We laughed, Yang Zhongkui and they must not understand, but they laughed when they saw us laughing.
A few people sat cross-legged, the fat brother took out a piece of barbecue and shared it with everyone, chatted happily for a while, and in the chat, I told them that as soon as Dolgon died, he was posthumously named Chengzong, the righteous emperor. The three of them listened very happily, of course, I hid the part that was cut and whipped by Shunzhi and rehabilitated by Qianlong.
I thought of the blocked tunnel again, so I asked: "Brother Yang doesn't know why, there was a road when we came, but when you were chasing, we ran to the Shengzi Monument, and the front was blocked by the wall." "Since I am familiar with it, the name is naturally arbitrary.
Brother Yang said: "You don't know the mystery of this gossip array, but it is divided into two layers, the upper layer is the door of death and the eye of the array when you come, and the lower layer is the other seven gates. ”
As soon as I explained it, I said why do you have to go down the stairs before entering the birth gate, the fat brother confused the direction of several doors, and he was wronged. At the same time, I am glad that we have entered the birth gate, and if we enter another gate when we go ashore, we don't know what danger we will encounter.
After I was steady, I asked again: "Then Brother Yang, how can we get out of this gossip array?" ”
Brother Yang said: "Brother don't be anxious, just wait for the opportunity. Then he pointed with his chin, and the Assai brothers beside him got up and walked out of the tunnel, the wall blocking the way was gone, he took a few steps up the stairs, and we stood up to see, only to see that he had found a place opposite the door of death and stood up, and we continued to talk.
I calculated that after about ten minutes, the wall blocked the tunnel again, and then for another ten minutes, the tunnel was aligned with Brother Assai's position.
Brother Yang pointed to the pit where the fat brother fell, and said with a smile: "Don't miss the opportunity, go quickly." ”
I hurriedly asked, "How far is it from the end, if it's too far we'll turn back." Are you really not going to go with us? It's been guarded for hundreds of years, and it's worthy of the king. "I always feel like there are endless words to say when I leave, but in fact, what I really want to say is reluctance.
Brother Yang just shook his head and smiled and said, "Come and go, fate also." Gains and losses, too. ”
The four of us took our bags and torches and walked to the pit. I didn't go far when I heard the sound of a spear stabbing behind me, and then the sound of falling to the ground.
We didn't look back, just quietly wiped our tears, for I had already seen the projection behind them, like three tired old horses, lying on the ground and only breathing, even though they had been trying to hide it with their smiles.
They have been loyal for hundreds of years, asking for nothing in return, and finally choosing to let go silently, perhaps this is also a kind of detachment. Compared with eating a full meal of fish, leaving this cruel world may be their greatest enjoyment.
We jumped into the pit, and the wall of the pit leading to the outside of the Bagua Array was gone, and we walked a few steps upward.
It can be felt that it is only at this time that you really enter the mausoleum. The blue brick walls on both sides of the tunnel have been polished very smooth, and there are hunting maps and battle maps on them. Thousands of horses are running together, happy and peaceful.
There are piles on the ground next to the wall, like a phalanx, there are many porcelain vases, and the patterns on the porcelain vases are grouped when you look closely. It is also a pattern of life for some hunting, male ploughing and female weaving. At the end, there are downward steps, tunnels, and many stone chambers, which are full of bronze oxen, copper horses, copper maids, copper eunuchs, and some bottles and jars.
From the farewell to Brother Yang, they walked for about several hours, and we finished the tunnels that turned left and right, and the pomp and circumstance of the funeral goods were very large, and the things were extremely rich, and the preservation was very complete.
Finally we entered a large rectangular stone room, flanked by bronze statues of maids, kneeling in front of the mural of the clouds, with oil lamps above their heads and holding them with both hands. In front of the bronze statue of the maid, there are holes one meter square, and from the square holes, you can see the flowing river below.
Stretching out the torch to light the oil lamp on the maid's head, the river seen in the hole was different from the previous one, the river seemed to be boiled, bubbling and bubbling, and a very thick layer of mist floated out of the surface of the river.
The oil lamp above the maid's head emitted a faint red light through the mist. With the mural of the cloud map on the wall behind the maid. As if entering a fairyland, the bronze maid statue next to it, like a fairy in the clouds, is swaying in the clouds, making people feel lazy for a while, and they really want to take a bath here, sleep for a while, and then continue to walk forward.
The fat brother said: "This cemetery is well repaired, this is also for the place where you are ready to take a bath, there will be no boiler room, right?" I see how the water is boiling. ”
Lu Shan said with a smile: "What kind of boiling water is this, it is estimated that there are geothermal resources under the river, and the hot gas inside is bubbling before the river water bubbles." ”
I nodded and said: "It must be like this, didn't I say that they are Qingling Mountain, and during the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar every month, there are clouds and mist rising, it is estimated that the geothermal heat is the most active at that time, and what kind of divine beast has returned to the Heavenly Palace, how can there be any divine beast." ”
Sister Hua said: "Don't believe in evil, they all say that there is no dragon, haven't we also seen it, if there is an evil beast, then no one will run." ”
I pointed to a gate not far away, smiled at Sister Hua and said, "Let me say anything about you, you are a fake crow's mouth." ”
At the end of the stone chamber, there was an oversized iron arch, which was quite impressive, ten meters wide and more than fifteen meters high. The bright red door was covered with golden nails, and it was not surprising that according to the regent of Dorgon, it was all real gold nails.
On both sides of the gate, there are two evil eye beasts squatting, the size is much larger than the backyard of the temple, and the fat brother stands in front of the statue of the evil eye beast, and his height is the height of his front legs.
However, these two evil eye beasts are not very well worked. It's said that it's a statue, it's better to say a mud fetus, and if you look closely, it's indeed an evil-eyed beast, but it's just not as realistic as the one in the temple. It seems that someone has a mud in his hand and slapped it, in other words, it is a half-finished product of two statues. It is in stark contrast to the towering gate.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, this ancient man didn't know what to think, the door was so decent, why were the two stone beasts at the door so sloppy.
