Hanging coffin cliff burial
As the saying goes, money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible, a few big men are quite acquainted, and a few mules are freed.
I've ridden horses and been a mule knight! Everyone followed.
The middle-aged woman told me to sit still, and when there were cliffs everywhere in front of me, I would accidentally fall into the ditch!
I said to myself, I'm not scared! I didn't expect this mountain road, the more you go, the narrower and narrower, just like the mountain road of the ancient horse tea road, you can only go alone, and you don't dare to look directly at the cliffs, and you will fall into the abyss if you are not careful.
Following the mule team, I asked the nearest man next to me; "This big brother, do you know where the archaeological team in front of us will be waiting for us now?"
Biao Han Dao; "We don't know, we are in a hurry to see their appearance, it has been two days, and it is estimated that the walk is almost to 90,000 Yin Mountain."
I was overjoyed, sure enough, the direction was right, and the ninety thousand Yin Mountain did not coincide with the name of the nine mountains in the riddle.
Reyna also heard our conversation, and dared to ask curiously; "Ninety thousand Yin Mountain, how unlucky this place name sounds! Could it be that there are demons and monsters in this mountain? ”
Biao Han smiled; "It's indeed yin and yang, listening to the people of the older generation, the ninety thousand Yin Mountain is very evil, and few people who enter the mountain can come out, even if they come out, they are crazy!"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman shouted; "The box is hooked, we are transporting wood to take another fork in the road, if you want to follow the gang in front, just this stone road."
The fat man asked; "Eldest sister and sister-in-law, this road seems to be too detouring, is there no other shortcut?"
The black-faced woman shifted her mouth; "Yes, yes, you see that there is a river under Niujiao Mountain in front of you, if you can swim, you can swim in two days to reach Jiuwan Yin Mountain."
Biao Han scolded the women again; "What are you talking nonsense, the river is so turbulent, let a few bosses swim, the boat can't swim, you want to kill people, accumulate some virtue!"
But the fat man said; "It's okay, big sister and sister-in-law! Not to mention swimming, we surf no problem! ”
We said goodbye to the peasants, and I asked the fat man; "Captain Wang, don't talk about the river, where can there be boats and surf in this place where birds don't."
Fat Man Road; "Comrade Xiao Feng, at first glance, you are a person who has never seen strong winds and waves, what are we doing, we will be by the river later, let you open your eyes."
Professor Wan and I thought that the fat man was bragging, and he didn't find our wide river, so the fat man took out two bulging things from his backpack, threw them on the ground, and automatically unfolded like a balloon, either like a sofa or floating on the water like a boat.
"Wow, high-tech! Boss, this thing is very practical, we also have a few when we go back, and sometimes we can sleep in a bed in the wilderness. "This is the guy named Da Niu brought by Ma Pan, who has never seen the world before me.
Ma Pan gave the big cow a brain melon; "It's really useless, this is called a charging airbag, isn't this the thing on my sofa!"
The fat man was very proud, and took out a few rebar pipes to connect into several sections, I know, this is a new generation of folding shovels, instead of the older generation of Luoyang shovels, not only easy to carry, this does not mean to be used as rowing pulp.
Reyna Dao; "I can't see it, Captain Wang, he has a lot of experience in survival in the wild, and he even thought of equipment like surfing, so I will give you a credit this time."
The fat man was praised by the big beauty, and he could hardly find the southeast and northwest; "Hmm...... This one, the steamboat is full, is it going to swim that way? ”
I forgot that I was a tour guide, and I couldn't tell whether the south direction was upstream or downstream, but fortunately, I carried the compass left by my ancestors.
I opened a pair of calligraphy and painting sketches, the Nine Mountains Altar is going to the southeast, this river is facing south to north, the mountain star is yin, the star is yang, the eight houses are separated, and we are facing in the direction of the six evils, I have an ominous premonition!
I speak to all; "It's really not good, we can walk the mountain road, this river is really turbulent, I look at this landform, there must be a lot of direct waterfalls, I'm afraid there will be more than lucky!"
"Whew! Comrade Xiao Feng, can you say something auspicious, you are the same as those farmers, what do you say evilly, you see that you have seen too much yin and yang gossip, what are we doing? If you don't believe in evil, you won't fight if you believe in evil! My intuition tells me that this waterway is the road to gold, and that it is a blessing in disguise, and with a ticket, it is more auspicious than anything else! ”
Eight women are the same, I can't screw this dead fat man, so I have to get into the airbag with everyone, Professor Wan and Rena pulled me up, and the fat man was the boatman.
Ma Pan and the others, who were in charge of another kayak full of equipment, slid in the direction of Jiuwan Yin Mountain in a leisurely manner.
Grow so big, the first time I saw such a beautiful scenery, the mountains on both sides of the river are shrouded in clouds and mist, from time to time you can see the ancient trees that cover the sky and the sun, the peculiar topography of the two different vegetation, forming a sharp contrast, one side is full of flowers, and the other side is the mountains layered on top of each other, growing strangely shaped vines, if you don't have something in your heart, I want to chant a poem...
Reyna suddenly screamed! I thought I was stung by a bee, but it turned out that she was looking at the big butterflies dancing on the other side, almost the size of a human face, and looking at her smile like a city, there is an indescribable beauty.
The fat man said; "Actually, it's not unusual, the butterflies I've seen before are much bigger than this!"
I say; "Captain Wang, don't let go of a butterfly, butterflies symbolize a kind of beauty, and they can't be compared to a big one."
There were talks and laughs along the way, but Ma Pan and the other three people have always been disliked and not good, but they are not stunned by the big cow, and they are kicked twice from time to time, and the young man who never speaks is called a leather bag, and he is as motionless as a wooden man!
While everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery, the big cow suddenly sighed; "Look, how come there are so many coffins!"
I looked up and saw that the cliffs we had bypassed were filled with at least a thousand coffins, all suspended in the steep walls, hundreds of meters high.
Big Bull Road; "It's so high, how did you climb up and hang it firmly, are those who are buried spider-people?"
Ma Pan Dao; "Stupid! This is called a cliff burial, not hung up, the dead will not be in a hurry to pull it over, first soak the body enough preservatives, put it in the coffin and slowly dry it, and when the tide rises every year, it will be hung directly on the shore like a boat! ”
The big bull said again; "So many, will there be a treasure in it?"
The fat man laughed; "It's still a baby, these dead people were ordinary men in their lives, at most a few grains of gold, there is no need to even seal it, even if there is something valuable, how can it be our turn!"
The custom of cliff burial, I have seen it in Miaojiang, it is not as simple as Ma Pan said, there is a certain amount of exquisiteness, the coffin must not be sunny, exposed to the scorching sun, the reason why we look at a glance, the coffin will be placed in a darker corner.
Just as everyone was busy admiring the hanging coffin, I felt the kayak suddenly shake! It was as if something had hit the bottom of the water.
Fat Man Road; "Your butts are sore! Don't move around, the fat man can't control the direction well! ”
I was in the back row of the three, where someone was moving, in fact, the current suddenly became turbulent, for some reason, the steamboat began to circle in place, and suddenly a big rock came out and hit it directly!
The fat man said loudly; "Everyone, be careful! It's a whirlpool, there's a safety lock on board, it's all secure! ”
Before the fat man's words fell, the waves had already submerged us, I held my breath and firmly grasped a rope, and my heart said badly, this time I will become a drowned ghost, and then my brain is also gone, and I don't know anything!
I don't know how long it took, I opened my eyes in a drowsy state, and I couldn't see anything but darkness, and I realized that this was the underworld. My mother hasn't even touched a girl's hand, so it's just a burp! It doesn't feel right, the back of my head hurts terribly!
In a trance, it seemed as if someone was calling my name; "God-given ........." A light shot directly on my face, and I was pinched and swollen again.
"People are here, and there is still gas..."
I looked closely, and it was Miss Reyna who helped me up, but I couldn't say a word of thanks, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I drained the water, and I didn't know how much I had drunk.
Reyna Dao; "Don't talk yet, they're in another cave, and there's a place to rest over there."
Rena helped me up, and I looked feebly around the darkness, it turned out that we had been swept into this place by a damn whirlpool, and I must have been knocked unconscious at the time, but fortunately there was a savior.
The fat man and the others may have been looking for me for a while, and when they saw that the bones of my still angry corpse were intact, they put their hearts down.
Ma Pan Dao; "This guy, his head has opened such a big hole and he is bleeding so much, hurry up and bandage it, who has needles and threads in his backpack, it is easy to go into shock if he loses too much blood!"
I said in my heart, no wonder it hurts so much, and I can't see the back of my head, so I guess the wound is not shallow.
Fat Man Road; "It's not a girl, where did you get the needle, but I remember when I brought the staple...... I found it, hurry up and sew it for Comrade Xiao Feng first! ”
I'm afraid of anything, how can I use a staple to bandage the wound, but in order to save my life, I have no power to resist, so I have to close my eyes and endure it, and I will die of breath when it hurts!
Ma Pan scolded me after stitching up my wound; "Damn, what the hell is this place, the soil that has been cultivated for so many years, the first time it is so unlucky!"
At this time, the young man who called the bag hurried over and said; "Damn, the cave here is like a labyrinth, and I almost can't come back, but luckily there's a crack in the stone that leads through."
I looked at it and asked; "Why didn't you see Professor Wan and Da Niu?"
The leather bag said; "They're waiting for us in the cracks in the rocks, should we get there and find a way to get out."
The fat man scolded again; "Half of the equipment fell into the water, and I bought it, and I will go to Professor Wan for reimbursement later."
Reyna Dao; "When are you still distressed about those things, everyone is fine, it's already good, even if the things are there, we can't take them anymore, I still have a few strong flashlights here, everyone be careful to go out."
The leather bag carried me on my shoulders, I didn't expect this little brother to have so much strength!
They all followed the leather bags, went around several very similar caves, and finally came to the edge of the stone crevice where the big bull was.
Professor Wan seemed to have come in from outside, and he almost cried when he saw me!
Instead, I comforted; "It's okay, it's just a little bleeding, and it will heal soon."
Professor Wan said with relief; "This crack in the stone does lead to the outside, but it's too narrow for me to squeeze out, let alone your size."
The leather bag didn't believe it, so he went into the gap and tried it, and came back to say; "I can barely get out, but it's useless to go out, there are cliffs everywhere outside, and there are waterfalls, a dead end!"
