Yunnan Worm Valley Chapter 42 Three Kings
The fat man was about to ask again, but I waved his hand to interrupt him: "What's the matter, I just saw the coffin?" In the past, there were indeed caves and coffins, bronze coffins, and precepts for not approaching if the eight characters were not hard, but we could pass by the Sansheng Bridge and come to the underworld gate of the Yin Palace, which means that the lives of the three of us are definitely hard enough, otherwise we would have fallen into the underworld if we did not step on the Sansheng Bridge. ”
The fat man said: "Joke, when has Commander Ben been afraid, but he has never seen this kind of coffin, the tiger bites the hedgehog, and he doesn't know how to put his mouth." ”
In fact, I don't know if our Bayu is hard enough, so I just add courage to the fat man, in front of the door hole in the yin wall, there is still a certain distance from the three strange-shaped coffins in the depths of the tomb, although the flare is so bright that it is seeping, but I can't see the subtleties, so I have to wait for a while, and after seeing that the door was broken, I didn't touch any mechanism, so I nodded to Shinley Yang and the fat man, signaling that I could go in.
Shinley Yang stretched out the "King Kong Umbrella" to open the way at the front, I and the fat man followed closely behind, the flare that was shot in was extinguished, illuminating the gloomy tomb brightly, as I expected, this is a large "Hui" Yu-shaped tomb, the Yin Palace is divided into two layers, inside the white wall, is the first layer, and the distance between this wall is seven or eight meters. Another layer of brick walls enclosed in the middle, and the tomb doors on the two walls were opposite each other, and the inside was only a low door opening with a curved roof, and there was no gate fence to block it, and the flares passed directly through it and entered the deepest burial chamber.
As soon as I entered the outer door, I first used a "wolf's eye" flashlight to shine on both sides, where there were two mezzanine of the tomb walls, piled with all kinds of blue and gray giant copper "sacrificial vessels", these copper plates, copper tripods, as well as ivory, jade coins, and jade cauldrons stacked in the middle, symbolizing the identity of the owner of the tomb as the lord of the country.
This is the tomb of a king that I have seen the most burial goods in my life. These funeral goods are specially made for the deceased, not just take some valuable things and pile them in like the Elite Country. The Han and Tang dynasties were the most prosperous in the thick burial style, legend has it that during this period, some of the burial goods in the imperial tombs exceeded thousands of tons, equivalent to one-third of the financial resources of the entire ten countries at that time, and the burial utensils in the "tomb of the king", although not as luxurious as those imperial tombs, but almost the entire Dian country was put into the tomb, but these subjects, slaves and treasures. No one was able to follow the king to heaven, and they all rotted in this gloomy darkness in the consumption of two thousand years, and they did not see the sun and the earth.
I sighed, thinking to myself that all the valuable old things in China had been so bad. At the moment, he quickened his pace and followed Shinley Yang into the inner tomb, the double tomb chamber is like the inner city and the outer city of the ancient city, and this tomb in the deepest part is the core part of the ancient tomb.
The glow of the flares was fading as we stepped into the burial chamber. The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, and we immediately turned on the spotlight on the helmet, and immediately saw the bronze coffin in front of us hanging in the air with a copper ring, which was the largest and most prominent among the three coffins, and the other two counties did not fall on the copper ring.
The bronze coffin was black and dull, and it was covered with a thick layer of dust. I put on gloves and brushed off a layer of dust on the copper coffin, and the coffin body was immediately reflected by the light into a strange blue-gray, and there were already a lot of green copper flowers on the copper coffin, and I looked at it coldly. It seems to be crawling with thin green centipedes.
Take a closer look, the copper coffin is still wrapped around the nine important towns, sealed airtightly, and there are many strange plants cast outside, in addition, there are no more obvious characteristics, that is, big, heavy, heavy, the real coffin should be in it.
Look at the other two coffins, one is wooden, look at the style and size, it should not be a wooden coffin, but only a layer of coffin board, but this coffin is also an unusual thing, a cursory look, the coffin board is about eight inches thick, the coffin is not painted, the original color of the wood is exposed, it looks like coke, but the wood is extremely fine and tough.
Shinley Yang Qi said: "The coffin does not seem to have undergone special processing, but how can there be wood of this material in the world? ”
I used to knock on the lid of the coffin, making an "empty" impact of the copper bell, in the tomb to hear, the sound is particularly loud and deep, I said to Shinley Yang: "This is the legendary coffin, in the deep mountains and old forests of the ravine and mountain shade, where the sun can never shine, there is a kind of carbon-colored tree, this kind of tree from the beginning of growth, has never seen the sun, ordinary trees, every year grows a circle of annual rings, and this kind of tree that does not see the sun, it will take dozens of hundreds of years, its annual rings only increase a circle, this is called the kiln wood, This Nayu is very special, describing it as a tree that grows in a cellar. ”
The fat man also reached out and touched the coffin: "My God, if this is really a coffin, it is really a treasure, I heard that this kind of wood is difficult to grow into wood, can be made into a coffin, and the coffin board is so thick, no other materials have been added, according to the current market, it is worth more than the same volume of gold, I really can't find a suitable one, let's rake it back...... It's okay, then when we come back to Yunnan, it's not considered Saturday volunteer labor, do you say it? ”
I said to the fat man and Shinley Yang: "How can the gold be compared with this wood, even ten golden coffins can not be replaced, you see how thick this coffin board is, and they are the best kiln core, this has a name, called the eight-inch board of the kiln wood, not the 10,000-year-old wood, and how can there be such a thick core, I want to be the Empress Dowager Cixi Lafayette, and I didn't mix this treatment, because this tree was extinct in the Han Dynasty, and no one in later generations can find such a thick tree." ”
"What are you waiting for, let's carry it out quickly."
Shinley Yang ignored the fat man and said to me, "The bronze coffin that fell in the middle of the tomb is also very special, so what's going on?" There is another strange-shaped coffin over there, could it be that this is the king and his two wives? ”
I shook my head: "I'm a little out of the door now, the bronze coffin is also an anomaly in the mausoleum system, only some big sinners, or nobles who have an infectious disease, will use the copper coffin to seal it, and there is also a saying, there are signs of corpse transformation before entering the coffin, to prevent zombies from breaking out of the coffin, you see that there are nine heavy locks on this copper coffin, how easy it is to open it, the ghost knows what it contains." ”
Shinley Yang said: "I only know that there is a kind of copper horn gold coffin to prevent the corpse from changing, it turns out that this hanging bronze coffin is the same, but what does it mean to hang in the air?" ”
The fat man interjected again: "Even I know this." We had seen a human-faced bronze coffin before, which was much more violent, and Commander Hu almost peed his pants in fright. Later, I heard that this kind of ring hanging coffin, is specially used to install the bamboo road to seek immortals, so that they do not connect to the ground after death, according to my estimation that the head of the house, there are nine achievements may be the old zongzi of the king, he not only did not become an immortal, but first Mao to give birth to the corpse, so he threw the copper ring copper coffin hanging in the tomb. Let's not touch it as soon as possible, it's better to carry this coffin back directly, and the next cow can't count the money in his life. ”
I said to Shinley Yang: "You don't listen to his nonsense, the person who peed his pants in fear is him not me, but the second half of what he said is right, the people who are going to fall into the air are the people of the Daomen." The copper coffin is used to hold zombies, but it can't be concluded that it is the king inside, these three coffins have a lot of articles, let's see it and then start. ”
We decided to see what the third coffin looked like before deciding how to open it, and we walked together to the deepest part of the burial chamber. There is a seamless sarcophagus, which is a sarcophagus directly caused by a "twisted stone" in one. The coffin panels of the hanged stone are particularly archaic and even somewhat primitive, decorated with hundreds of rings that are chiseled and gathered together. It formed a black beast, and I couldn't tell what it was, it was not a dragon or a tiger, full of ancient mysteries.
The outside of the seamless sarcophagus is sealed with a layer of translucent lacquer, and the coffin seam is sealed inside. Yuan Fa saw, but Tong Guò faint close to some of the experience accumulated in Pan Jiayuan, although there are many fakes, but the amount of information is very rich, can be exposed to a large number of things beyond what has been seen and heard, especially some folk collectors, from their mouths can learn a lot of information about various Ming artifacts, which are difficult to access in books, I have heard more than once that this seamless sarcophagus has been mentioned, it is said that it has been dug up twice in Xishan.
But this sarcophagus is obviously a lot shorter than the usual coffin, and there are four stout one-legged stone men carrying it underneath, so it seems to be a large piece higher than the wooden coffin, and the fat man immediately said after seeing it: "This must be the son of the king, a prince, he didn't graduate from junior high school, so he gave him Lao Tzu to be buried, and he didn't want a diploma, waiting to ascend to heaven and become an immortal together?" ”
Shinley Yang said: "Impossible, I have never heard of anyone who let their children be buried with them, and tiger poison does not eat children." ”
I said to the twenty of them: "When the boil is not a prince and grandson, the reason why this sarcophagus is short, it is likely that it is not a whole corpse, when the ancient station country, the countries contended, a hundred schools of thought contended, the tomb culture also tends to be diversified, there is a kind of limb burial, there is also a kind of broken burial, and what is the crup burial, leaning burial, squatting burial, hanging, side burial, etc., the understanding of death is different, the way to place the dead body is also different, this should be the sarcophagus of the curling burial, and the twisted stone is not trivial, even a rare cool stone, its nature is like water jade, The corpse inside must have been a figure with a head and a face before his death. ”
It's just that the kind of "curled up" Fang or, by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has become extinct, whether there is still something left in southern Yunnan, but it is difficult to say, the problem is that these three coffins, in addition to being extremely special, are completely difficult to put together and compare, although they are in the same ten tombs, and there seems to be no connection between them.
I thought to myself that I couldn't figure it out anyway, so I just opened it and took a look, so I asked the fat man to go to the corner of the door, lit three candles, and then started with the most valuable "coffin".
When the fat man lit the wax, I saw the candlelight of the three candles lit up, illuminating the corner of the gloomy tomb, and suddenly remembered something in my heart, the three bridges, the three coffins?
When I was thinking about it, I heard Shinley Yang say to me: "I just remembered that the three coffins in front of the gate of the Yin Palace, the corpses in these three coffins, are all dedicated to the king, and it is not known, but there may not be what we are looking for, the king with phoenix gall, the coffin in the tomb, he dug it out from other ancient tombs, maybe he somehow decided that this is the corpse skeleton of his previous life." ”
I thought about it for a while and replied: "Yes, so it is not difficult to understand, the three coffins do not belong to the same period, but represent the three lives of the king in the world, Chinese Taoists have always had the legend of immortal Taoism and three lives, the first three lives are called the three prisons, and the final death will be extremely miserable, so this special coffin will be used, the real king must be hidden in a certain ten places in this tomb...... Hey, let's patronize these three demon coffins, why hasn't the fat man who went to the corner to light a candle come back? Three...... Six...... Nine...... There are nine candles in the corner, how did this grandson light so much wax? Where is he? ”
Shinley Yang gestured to me and lowered his voice: "Do you listen to the bronze coffin, is there a voice?" ”
