11. Evil land
"What's the idea?" Two or three voices asked together.
"If you re-extrapolate it at the next hour...... The passage we entered, the direction of the eight gates will be transformed into a view gate, and we will wait for more than half an hour. ”
Everyone would rather believe what they have, not believe what they don't have, and waiting a little longer is at least psychologically more comforting than going back hard. As soon as the stone on his heart settled, Professor Zhang immediately let out a heavy breath, and then shook his head hesitantly and said: "I have been in contact with Hongshan culture for so long, why are these remnants of Hongshan culture that are both like and not like Hongshan culture in front of me?" The cliff hanging coffin was suspected and debated for a long time when it was discovered decades ago, and this special burial system does not match the customs of the Hongshan culture period, but the recent excavations in the hanging coffin clearly have the historical characteristics of the Hongshan culture. ”
Gao Tong said in a low voice: "The strangeness of this whole group of hanging coffins is not small. First of all, from the feng shui, we have been going back and forth for so many days, and I can see the water potential of the surrounding mountains clearly. The river valley where the hanging coffin group is located is vaguely in the shape of a dragon, surrounded by mountains, the dragon vein is the most vigorous, and the left and right are gradually distant, but there is a river in the canyon but it is not suitable to be a burial ground, and the potential threat of the flood cement flow to the mausoleum will commit the most basic taboo in feng shui. A while ago, I was thinking that if I were to choose a group of tombs here, the best way would really be to use a hanging coffin, and place the coffin on the cliff wall on the sunny side of the river valley. ”
Professor Zhang said "um", "The location of the group coffins and the traditional metaphysics of feng shui and earth are all in harmony, which proves that feng shui was very mature in that era, let's ignore the reason." Then the only suspicion in the funeral ceremony in front of me is that the 'Stars and the Moon', which should have only one main coffin, now there are three main coffins at the same time......"
"Isn't that the case...... silently interrupted Professor Zhang's words, and there was surprise in his tone, "I've been thinking for a while, it's likely that the age of these last three hanging coffins is wrong, they are later than the surrounding group burials, assuming that there are no three hanging coffins that we regard as the main coffin, then all the feng shui bureaus of Qiē are all established." Thinking about it this way, the 'moon' in the stars hugging the moon in the feng shui layout in the earliest period pointed to the cave on the cliff, that is, where we are now. ”
I suddenly understood that although we only opened one of the three main coffins that were hastily identified, the bronze coffin nails and the remaining lacquer on the surface obviously did not conform to the characteristics of the Hongshan culture, which can be explained that the last three hanging coffins were placed separately in the later period after the formation of the Hongshan culture hanging coffin group.
Thinking of this, the speculation about the "evil land" two hours ago suddenly came up again, and I couldn't help but say "oops", "The three later hanging coffins were abruptly buried at the main acupuncture point, isn't this in line with the saying that the tomb is used to suppress the evil?" ”
Gao Tong slapped his head heavily, "The shape of the coffin is a ship-shaped coffin that replaces the tomb, and the three caves that communicate internally are the tomb eyes of the group burial, and the boat-shaped coffin is used to suppress the tomb eye." There is a great saying in this group of hanging coffins, and the center of the tomb is deep in the eye...... In other words, there must be something unexplainable here in front of us, which was suppressed by the later ancients as an 'evil land'. ”
The order of the formation of the hanging coffin group is now clear, the ancients who paid great attention to feng shui fortunes, of course, would not put the three boat-shaped coffins in the hanging coffin group burial of their predecessors for no reason, everyone you analyzed it word by word, and they all felt more and more restless, no matter what, being in the "evil land" that the ancients thought would never make people comfortable, Chen Xu said anxiously: "The passage back has become a murderous door, which is not a good sign." Let's wait for the hour to come, and we can't help but say that we should quickly retreat, and go back to the cliff to find another way. ”
Everyone was nodding. I and the big head experienced the most bizarre, my heart instantly sank, secretly felt that I am afraid that it is not very easy to go back now, I can't think of where the problem will be, and I can't say it to disturb the morale of the army, I peeked at the big head, the big head is hanging his head absentmindedly and is scratching around with his fingers on the ground, I guess it is similar to my thoughts.
Time passed very slowly, everyone looked at the watch from time to time, this was more than half an hour of fear, everyone in the stone room was sitting on pins and needles, and Professor Zhang, who was speechless for a long time, muttered softly: "Are we scaring ourselves?" ”
"I hope nothing happens," Gao Tong sighed and stood up, "The time has come, let's go back." ”
In the arched passage when I turned back, I couldn't go far, and the temperature around me seemed to drop a lot, and the gust of wind behind me blew into my neck, which made me shiver a few times, and followed behind the big head with a cower. Everyone's footsteps were a little hurried, but fortunately, the foot of this section of the passage was carefully chiseled and smooth, and there was no stumbling when walking faster, and the sound of "popping" footsteps and "whirring" around me was messy in my ears, and I secretly thought to myself that this sounded like the rhythm of escaping.
The big head walking in front of me suddenly stopped, and he was already panicked and scared, and this time I almost hit him solidly, and I wanted to scold him in a hurry, but I saw the big head staying motionless in the local area for a long time, his expression was cold and frightening, "Wait a minute, this road is wrong!" ”
No one spoke, everyone looked at the big head in fear, the big head lowered his head and looked at his feet, "When I came in, the road gradually became smoother, and it stands to reason that when I walked back for a while, there should be some potholes under my feet...... This is not the path we took when we came. ”
The sudden tense air made a chill rush down the back of my spine to the top of my head, and I saw Chen Xu's face beside me turn pale, and his voice trembled, "No...... Would it? ”
"Shhhh......hhh Everyone waited together in a daze for a long time, lowered their breath and didn't hear anything abnormal, and after a while, Gao Tong said softly: "Did you hear the strange sound just now?" ”
I was about to subconsciously shake my head, but a "stab" sound suddenly came, the direction was impossible to judge, it sounded like the sharp sound of the tip of a knife that made people feel soft and slashed through the glass, and the sharp tail note dragged on for a long time and gradually disappeared, and it was particularly clear and harsh in the closed environment. My heartbeat suddenly accelerated with the sound, and a tingling sensation rushed from my hands and feet to my brain, and my whole body seemed to be out of my control for a moment.
