Chapter Ninety-Two: Nine Dragons and Pearls
At the end of the hollowed-out slate, there is a very wide cavity that cannot be easily crossed.
But this is not the point, the point is the horrified discovery that the abyss below the swarthy void seems to have a soul-seductive suction, and people dare not jump over it.
Everyone finally regained their confidence, and jumped over safely and smoothly one by one, and when they reached the order of the monkeys, I comforted him and said that it didn't matter, as long as they didn't look down and faced them with a normal heart, they would definitely be able to jump over smoothly.
The monkey nodded, but he was still worried that his little short leg would not be able to jump, and he had not been able to muster up his courage.
After thinking about it for a moment, I said to him, if you are not sure to jump over, then swing over!
After saying that, let the fat man on the other side prepare the rope, and then let the three of them pull the rope tightly, and tie the other end of the rope to the monkey's body, and let them pull him over. Just as I was tying a rope to the monkey, I suddenly heard my teammates on the other side shouting to jump over.
Sensing that something was wrong behind me, I hurriedly looked back and found that the red-skinned ghost lantern that had disappeared earlier was like a ghost, glowing with green light, and appeared faintly. I didn't care if the monkey was prepared or not, so I immediately pushed him and jumped in the opposite direction.
After I jumped smoothly, I immediately helped the people pull the rope and dragged the monkey up. Then he beckoned everyone to turn around and run, and not look back.
But we didn't take two steps before the red-skinned lantern suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone immediately closed their eyes. Behind him was the hollowed-out ground and the dark abyss, and if the red-skinned ghost lantern bewitched its way at this time, everyone would be in the blink of an eye. and they all fell into the abyss.
I shouted "lean against the wall" at the surroundings and leaned my back against the stone wall. Then lead the way in front.
With his eyes closed, he could only vaguely feel the faint light of the flashlight, and he didn't walk for long. My outstretched foot touched the hard wall, and I stole open one eye and looked sideways through a slit. The hollowed-out stone corridor had come to an end, and next to it was a stone wall with a swarthy doorway. The ghostly red-skinned ghost lantern was gone, so I opened everyone's eyes.
Inside the doorway was a stone chamber, and we were stunned as soon as we stepped inside. I saw that on the four walls of the stone room, nine dragon heads protruding outwards were sculpted, all the size of grinding discs. Vivid, from afar it looks like it glows with metal. After getting closer, I found that it was a stone carving, and it can be seen that the surface is polished very smooth, and it can be used as a mirror to look at people. The copper bell-like longan is vivid, bright and bright, without a trace of turbidity. The dragon's whiskers are carved very vividly, and the lifelike whiskers are vigorous and powerful, the roots are like swords and halberds, and they are as agile as water. It's very realistic. The angry dragon's mouth is majestic and majestic, and the teeth are strong, not angry but mighty.
Nine dragon heads turn an ordinary stone chamber into a solemn and majestic atmosphere. Under the view of the nine huge dragon heads, there is a feeling of becoming very small, and I can't help but have a feeling of looking up at the vast starry sky. The illusion of infinite mysteries. However, the most surprising thing is the "pearl" of the Kowloon Chaozhu!
The nine dragon heads are all oriented towards the center of the stone chamber. It is also the location of the orb, but the location of the orb in this tomb is above. But there is a "pig" placed, and this pig is not the pearl. I don't understand why there are no precious jewels such as the Night Pearl in the place where the Nine Dragons are pilgrimaged, and there is no coffin of the tomb owner, but there is a stone statue of a "pig".
Which one is the owner of the tomb here, and why is there a "pig" in the direction of the Pearl of the Nine Dragons. What is the significance of this stone carved into a pig?
With too many questions, I walked to the center of the stone room, bent down and bowed my head, touched my chin, and began to look up and down the stone statue of the pig in front of me.
The half-human-tall stone carving pig looks ordinary and unremarkable, and the carving technique can be said to be a little clumsy, much like the failed work of a novice stone carver, and like the clay that is randomly pinched out when a child is playing. In short, compared with the majestic atmosphere on the stone wall and the nine dragon heads with fine carving, they are not on the same level at all, which can be said to be a world of difference, and they are 108,000 miles apart from each other.
During the Han Dynasty and the Six Dynasties, the folk custom was to use jade, stone, pottery, etc. to make piglets for burial. Once in Fuzhou's Peach Blossom Mountain and Erfeng Mountain, have excavated the tombs of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, unearthed Shoushan "stone carved pig", but most of them are not more than ten centimeters, the appearance seems to be mostly lying down, the carving is rough and simple, the shape is simple, the form is realistic, all are small ornaments. Like this kind of large-scale artificial stone carvings, generally only appear in the group carvings of the zodiac, I don't know why it appears here abruptly?
In ancient times, pigs had the meaning of "home" and also represented courage. In ancient times, about the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Jinshi of the palace test and the first would agree with each other in advance that if any of them were to be crowned marquis in the court in the future, they would invite someone who was good at calligraphy in the same discipline to use "Zhu Shu", that is, the text written in vermilion (red) ink, and the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda. The Wild Goose Pagoda is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was built by Tang Xuanzang in the Ci'en Temple in Xi'an, Shaanxi. The Jinshi of the new middle school of the Tang Dynasty will be nominated in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. "Pig" and "Zhu" are homophonic, and the "hoof" of the pig is homophonic with the word "inscription", so the pig has become the mascot of young students for the title of the gold list. In ancient times, and even today, there is also a rumor, whenever there are students rushing to take the exam, relatives and friends will give braised pig's trotters, and wish the person who is rushing to take the exam "Zhu pen inscription".
But I can't figure it out, what does this have to do with the stone carvings being placed here?
After thinking about it, I didn't come up with a reason, so I jokingly said to the stone carved pig in the center of the stone room: "Fatty, what are you doing here?" ”
The fat man who admired the dragon head statue on the stone wall on one side, at first he thought I was calling him, but after he turned around, he realized that I was teasing him, so he said angrily: "This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other." ”
I smiled and praised the fat man's speaking level for getting better and better, and Zha Qiye said on the side: "Why don't you ask me to participate in such a funny topic." ”
The monkey is a little daughter-in-law who has been treated badly and says that we are partial, and I don't call him when I laugh and chat, I smiled and said to the monkey: "People like to pick up money, why do you like to pick up and scold!" ”
The monkey bared his big yellow teeth and said with a smile: "Fighting, talking and laughing is the true meaning of life." (To be continued......)
