8. Suppress evil spirits
Several people went down to the outer hole of the hanging coffin again with questions, Gao Tong looked at the hanging coffin carefully, and probably didn't see any clues, frowned, and pointed to the hole in the stone wall, "Maybe it's hidden inside, the outer hole and the hanging coffin are on the surface, maybe some important burial goods are placed in the depths of this hidden inner cave."
Seeing that Professor Zhang hesitated for a long time and nodded, a few of us had no choice but to drill the inner hole again, anyway, I had already been mentally prepared that it would not be so smooth, and the six of us took the necessary equipment and leaned over one after another into the dark hole.
For Professor Zhang, who is looking forward to the discovery of history, Hongshan culture is the subject he has studied for half a lifetime, and now the most important hanging coffin is empty, his mood is the most urgent, and he can't help but say that the first one got in, his assistant Chen Xu hurriedly followed, in front of so many people, I was embarrassed to walk in the end, pulling and letting me follow me silently, but I hid behind the big head, the big head is a demon king who is not afraid of heaven and earth, so I feel quite secure.
Everyone paused for a while before gradually adapting to the dark surroundings, the passage in the cave was inclined downward, and a few steps forward, the space was still not so empty, the stone walls on the left and right sides were within reach, but the height up and down was just enough to straighten up and down, and there was a slight claustrophobic feeling. Professor Zhang, who was at the front, did not walk fast, and took the opportunity to look around, and the signs of artificial excavation of the stone wall were obvious, but it looked very rough without pondering.
Twisting and turning out of more than ten or twenty minutes, the front slowly stopped, followed up to see, but walked to the middle of a stone room, said to be a stone room, in fact, it is just a stone room, the surrounding convex and uneven ground is very irregular, the foot is also uneven, can accommodate almost a dozen people crowded inside, but there are a few more forks in the front and back, counting us down this one, this stone room has a total of four passages.
If it were me, there would definitely be an obstacle to the choice, Gao Tong took out a compass, and then pointed to a passage with Chen Xu, and almost unanimously said: "This leads to the cliff outside." ”
Silently, don't look at the high IQ, women are usually not sensitive enough to the direction, figured out what they meant, and suddenly said: "The direction should lead to the other two cliff caves where the hanging coffins are placed, right?" ”
Gao Tong nodded, then looked at Professor Zhang, and said in a consultative tone: "Professor Zhang, you guys wait here first, and Chen Xu and I will go separately to explore the way." ”
Gao Tong and Chen Xu each disappeared into a passage, and the small stone room was much more spacious. The remaining four of us sat on the ground, each drank a few sips of water, and silently asked Professor Zhang how to explain the other mysteries in the hanging coffin cave. ”
Although Datou and I have been influenced by this year, there are still no fixed lines in our minds about the ancient Chinese tomb form, and Datou said: "I see, there is a hanging coffin outside, and the inside may have taken out a tomb road and underground palace to the cliff wall, since it is a group burial, the most important coffin is probably placed in another underground palace." ”
From the perspective of Professor Zhang's archaeological experts, the idea of the big head is purely a pragmatism that does not talk about any burial rules and regulations, Professor Zhang shook his head lightly, "It's not that simple, the hanging coffin on the cliff outside is buried according to the strict feng shui method, if there is another tomb in the hidden cave, this kind of burial method of covering the tomb with a tomb is definitely taboo in ancient China." ”
Professor Zhang mentioned that "covering the tomb with a tomb", in the history of thousands of years of occasional occurrence, an excellent feng shui treasure will inevitably have two generations separated by thousands of years, once the double tomb up and down pressure, that is the taboo in feng shui, this situation is usually because the descendants did not find that they chose the tomb site under another ancestor mausoleum, otherwise no one will take the initiative to repair their own tomb on someone else's mausoleum, as for the feng shui of the burial place of the predecessors, the dove occupies the magpie's nest deliberately to pick up the tomb of the predecessors, On the basis of the original, he built a new mausoleum by himself, and even the tomb robbers did not dare to do so.
At this time, another thought flashed through my mind, the inner hole is so deep, if it is not for the placement of funeral goods, it seems that under what circumstances there will be such an overlap, but I can't grasp the gist, and I am digging out my mind to find the fragment, and the silence on the side suddenly exclaimed, "Is it using a group burial tomb to suppress evil spirits?" ”
It suddenly dawned in my heart that the silent "using tombs to suppress evil spirits" means that the ancients built mausoleums on top of what they thought were "evil places", and used the yin qi of the tombs to suppress the evil spirits, and the evil places are not necessarily fierce graves. This is also the sacrifice of the tomb owner, who gave up the opportunity to choose a feng shui treasure for himself, and used the yin house after his death to suppress the evil with evil.
I just thought that this was a reliable explanation for the secret in the hanging coffin cave, but I reacted immediately, and my heart beat wildly. Damn, the hanging coffin outside is "using the tomb to suppress evil", so aren't we just staying in the evil ground? It is said that ghosts and evil are feudal superstitions, but who is sure that there is really no evil in the world?
No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere around me instantly changed from relaxed to tense, I don't know if it was my own psychological effect, and suddenly I felt a gust of wind blowing in the passage, cold and cold, and I couldn't help but shiver. Professor Zhang's face also changed slightly, and he looked up and thought for a long time and said, "It seems that there is another saying here, and when the two of them come back, we will discuss what to do next." ”
Silently leaned closer to me, with a little horror in his eyes, at this time I had to pretend to be brave anyway, grinning at her, "Where are there so many evil sects, I really don't believe that there are any ghosts in the world." ”
The sound of footsteps came from the distance of the passage, my heart tightened, my scalp was numb, until I clearly heard Gao Tong's coughing sound to be sure that he turned back, breathed a sigh of relief, watched Gao Tong poke his head out of a passage, panting and just sat down against the stone wall, Chen Xu also turned back from another passage, and said to everyone: "Sure enough, it leads to another hanging coffin cave." ”
Gao Tong nodded and looked at Professor Zhang, "In this way, the last three hanging coffins are all connected to each other in the cliff, but I don't know what to say." Then he looked at the crowd, probably thinking that the atmosphere was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Professor Zhang has been pondering for a long time, looked at Gao Tong and said: "Is there any other possibility for the feng shui layout of 'stars hugging the moon' that you originally said, for example, in feng shui, this arrangement is used to suppress evil spirits." ”
