Chapter Seventy-Three: Burning Incense
Tofu and I came this time, firstly, to help Old Man Zhao get the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhai Stone and find out the root of the curse, and secondly, he also came for money, and now he sees that it is a water hole, and disappointment is inevitable. But compared to this, I still care more about the whereabouts of Wei Bald Head and the clues of this princess's tomb.
Back then, Bai Laosi broke into the tomb of the Ten Thousand Demon Concubine and was cursed, and in the following years, he ran in many ways and found a solution to the curse in the tomb of the Giant Ear King. After he entered the tomb of the Giant Ear King, he didn't know how to transfer the curse to his apprentice, that is, my grandfather Chen Siyuan.
Grandpa later talked to Chen, and successively entered the tomb of the giant ear king to find out the clues, but it was difficult to enter it, but by the way, he led to the so-called ghost king Yulong tomb.
There is obviously a certain relationship between these three, maybe in this tomb of Princess Geger, there are clues about the 'face of the ghost' or the ten thousand demon concubines. Regardless of whether Wei Guangtou is there or not, things have come to this point, and the underground tomb has also been destroyed by the divine spring due to the age, and a crack has been revealed in Dafangfang, it is simply God help me, I am too sorry for myself if I don't go in.
Although Feng Ghost Hand was disappointed that this was a water hole, there was a way that thieves did not go empty, since they came, no matter whether they were good or bad, they had to touch one or two things to go out, and they would not lose all their money and come in vain.
I don't know much about the relationship between him and Wei Guangtou, in my impression, the so-called partners are people who get together when they need it, and can stab them at any time when they don't need to, I only heard him say: "Wei Nanjing They jumped into the lake last night and disappeared without a trace, eighty percent of them entered the tomb along the crack, we can't come here in vain." The three of us were all invited by Second Master Zhao to do things, and we have to figure out whether people are dead or alive, and we have to at least give Second Master Zhao an explanation. Two, what are you waiting for, let's get to work. ”
Although we were wolves along the way, we didn't lose any equipment, and each of us carried a bag, and due to limited manpower, we threw aside some less important tools. Since the shotgun was too long to carry, I took only one pistol with me, and the three of us went down the ridge to the bottom of the lake. There was a strong smell of water at the bottom of the lake, and there were many dead fish wrapped in it, and when you stepped on it, the mud went up to your knees, and it ate deep into people's legs and feet, and every step was very difficult.
When I walked to the crack, I saw that the surface of the crack was covered with silt, and only a line was exposed. The flashlight shines along the crack, the inside is straight up and down, the flashlight can't shine to the end, the cracks are rocks on both sides, covered with sharp water chestnuts, people can only go down one by one. The probe looked down, only to feel that at the bottom of the crack, a yin wind blowing up from the darkness was blowing on the face, making people feel a little numb in their necks.
After all, Feng Ghost Hand was used to robbing tombs, so he didn't go down directly, but took three steps first.
In the first step, I picked a stone the size of a human head and threw it into the crack. I only heard that the stone did not end all at once, but in the middle of the fall, and it was estimated that it was blocked by a slope or other rocks, and it was thumping all the way, and there was no sound for a long time. After listening to the voice, Feng Ghost Hand said very firmly: "About twenty meters deep, strange ......" He frowned, probably dissatisfied with the depth of the tomb.
Tofu belongs to the green face, a complete layman, and asked ignorantly: "Twenty meters is twenty meters, what's so strange?" "Feng Ghost didn't pay attention to the tofu, and I didn't have the heart to speak.
The depth of the burial chamber is actually exquisite.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the national strength was strong, and the deep burial was emphasized, and the tombs were often built at a depth of about 30 meters. The depth of the tombs after the Ming and Qing dynasties is about 10 to 15 meters. For example, the civil tomb in the Huiyong River, the depth of the tomb I detected at that time was 10 meters. And what we are digging now is the tomb of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be buried 20 meters deep?
This depth is obviously somewhat different from the specifications of the tombs at that time. On the contrary, it will be a demon, which is not a good phenomenon.
I didn't explain it to Tofu, but I had a sudden break in my heart. Feng Ghost Hand then began to do the second thing. He took out a cloth bag the size of a matchbox from his backpack, and when he shook it open, two gloves were revealed inside. I couldn't look at this glove because my grandfather mentioned it in his work notes, and this kind of glove is called 'King Kong Set'.
I saw that it was as thin as a cicada's wings, its color was black, and it was not as big as a matchbox when put away. Feng Ghost took it with him in his hand, it was almost like he didn't bring it.
Tofu looked at his eyes and thought of a very appropriate adjective, and he said, "This glove is too thin, a bit like an ultra-thin Durex." Alas, I said Lao Feng, what are you doing with this? "I obviously saw Feng Ghost's hand staggering, and his angry eyes were on fire, and it was estimated that the ancestral treasure was described as Durex by Tofu, which made him angry.
After all, this Feng ghost hand has experience, we dig big mushrooms for the first time, and we still have to rely on him, so I slapped the back of the tofu directly on the back of the head, and educated: "No culture, it's terrible." What Durex, all this mess in my head. This is the 'King Kong Set', which is said to have been invented by a tomb robber surnamed Liu in the Song Dynasty. These gloves, specially designed for the hands of the industry, are as thin as cicada wings, inferior to water and fire, and inviolable to all kinds of poisons. It is said that the method of making zuò has long been lost, and it is a treasure. ”
Feng Ghost Shou heard me tell me the origin of the King Kong set, his face softened a little, and he was already deeply aware of the unreliability of tofu, so he simply ignored him directly, and said to me: "It is worthy of being the descendant of the ghost king, I have knowledge, I see a treasure here, and I can't find a second pair in the line." It's a pity that the method of making zuò has been lost. With that, he began to do the third thing, and took out a one-foot-long, half-finger-wide wooden box from his bag, and when he opened the box, he saw that there were actually nine sticks of incense inside.
The tofu was foggy by Ghost Feng's three steps, and he quietly asked me: "Old Chen, what does this old boy want to do?" ”
I didn't see it at first glance, and I didn't understand it until Feng Ghost took out a stick of incense, inserted it in the crack, and began to chant words in his mouth. The first burn is given to the local land lord, that is, I hope that the land lord will open the net and not make stumbling blocks when digging mushrooms; The second pillar of incense was burned to the grandfather; The third pillar of incense is the requiem incense burned to the owner of the tomb when the museum opens, hoping that the owner of the tomb will not care, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of psychological comfort. ”
After hearing this, Tofu slapped his forehead and said, "No wonder we got a corpse when we dug mushrooms for the first time, the feeling is that you didn't bribe the land lord at that time, since you know this rule, of course why don't you do it?" ”
I do know the rules, but at that time I didn't really believe in ghosts and gods, but now, for Feng Ghost Hand God's chattering and seemingly ridiculous behavior, Tofu and I can't afford to laugh at it.
There are many ancestors who rob the tomb, some worship Cao Cao, some worship Wu Zixu, and some worship Xiang Yu, all of which are very particular.
That Feng Ghost Hand, I heard him recite words, but it was Qin Shi Huang who worshipped, Tofu was a little puzzled, and said: "Why did Qin Shi Huang become the ancestor master, could it be that his old man also dug a tomb?" ”
Regarding the worship of Qin Shi Huang, this is indeed exquisite. Tomb robbers are divided into two factions, the north and the south, and those who dig mushrooms have their own means, and there are many small factions. Among them, only the machine hand will worship Qin Shi Huang. Because Qin Shi Huang is the ancestor of playing tricks and anti-theft. According to the "Historical Records", his tomb: wear the Zhili Mountain, and the world, the world sent 700,000 people, wear three springs, under the copper and to the coffin, the palace is full of strange artifacts and strange weapons. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and if there is a nearness, shoot it. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. ”
Therefore, when it comes to the anti-theft technology of the mausoleum and the use of the tomb mechanism, Qin Shi Huang is considered an ancestor. The trickster recognized him as the ancestor master, that is, begging himself to enter the tomb to avoid or crack a qiē mechanism.
After finishing the incense in Feng Gui's hand, he didn't rush to go down the crack, and made a pause gesture at us, signaling that he still wanted to 'look at the incense'. The so-called incense, that is, the length of the incense burned to predict the good luck, the person who digs the mushroom upside down, if he encounters one of these situations, it is absolutely impossible to fight.
For example, a stick of incense is lit at the same time, and as a result, the incense burns into three long and two short during the burning process, which is a great omen.
Neither Tofu nor I expected that Feng Ghost Hand would be so cautious in this regard, and Tofu sighed: "Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the excitement." This is called professionalism! It is worthy of being a professional in this business, but how can this incense be lit at the same time, how can it be burned into two shapes, which is a bit nonsense. "I didn't say anything, although I have seen zongzi, evil ghosts, and weasels, but I still don't agree with this kind of predictive fortune telling.
