Chapter 84: The Grotesque Bronze Horse
When the little brother entered the tomb, he lit a fire and looked around, and found that this ancient tomb was very unusual and gave people a very absurd feeling.
On the stone slab under his feet turned out to be the mural carving of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and on the top of the tomb was just a few uneven layers of green bricks, and there was nothing else.
The little brother carefully turned around the tomb and found that many things hanging upside down on the top of the tomb were all burial objects that could only be seen on the floor of the tomb in the past.
It turned out that the place they had painstakingly dug up before was not the top of the tomb at all, but the bottom of the tomb, and the structural layout of the entire tomb was completely reversed.
The little brother saw a very large thing hanging upside down at the bottom of the tomb, and there were many funeral utensils hanging around it, so he walked over, raised the fire fold and shone it up, and found that it was a coffin attached to the bottom of the tomb.
The little brother told a few people waiting outside about his discovery, and they were a little unconvinced.
However, when the little brother expanded the entrance to the cave and they all climbed in, they were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
Some people have asked whether it is because the earthquake turned the real tomb upside down, so it will be like this.
Zhang Haike shook his head and said no, "If it is an earthquake, then even if the coffin is turned over in the process of turning the hole in the ground, then soon it will fall down and shatter together with other burial utensils, and even the entire tomb roof will collapse into broken tiles, instead of hanging directly on it like now, it is obvious that the people who built this place built this pattern on purpose." ”
"Could it be related to feng shui, this tomb is placed like this, it is clear that the original heaven is regarded as the earth, and the earth is regarded as the sky." Another Zhang family child said.
Zhang Haike thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "I once saw a similar record in an ancient book, the overall mountain situation in this area, it is long in the face, not in the sky, the feng shui master may be in order to conform to the trend of the mountains here, so he has to build the ancient tomb like this." ”
After listening to this, the others felt that he seemed to have a good point.
The little brother suddenly said at this time: "The mountains are all top-to-top, point-to-sky, and bottom-to-earth, even if they are underground mountains, they will also sink deep underground because of the subsidence of the mountains, along with this mountain range and the ancient tomb." ”
When everyone thought about it, they felt that what he said was also reasonable, at the beginning of the construction of the ancient tomb, the rock at the bottom of the entire mountain was arched out of the ground, so that it could easily be regarded as a relatively gentle rocky mountain, and the peaks that grew downwards at the bottom of the mountain, like the roots of human teeth, were embedded in the soil.
The traditional method of digging a pit and then building a burial chamber with a large opening of the top of the tomb obviously does not apply here, unless they have a skilled person to uproot the whole mountain by moving the mountain and reclaiming the sea.
Otherwise, you have to dig in the mud from the side, and dig into it like digging a thief hole to repair it.
The more people pondered, the more they felt that there was an evil sect here, and some people wanted to retreat, but as soon as they mentioned this, everyone thought of all the hardships they had come all the way before, and they were very reluctant.
On top of that, they didn't have enough time to find another tomb that would be enough for them to turn into.
"Open!" One of them said, "Winning or losing, willing to gamble and lose, we have practiced countless times at home, and we have long been familiar with it, but it is just an upside-down tomb, and we can also raise it upside down." ”
Although this is the case, if the coffin is lifted from the top with ordinary steps, the risk is too great, as soon as the coffin lid is opened, the gravity is out of balance, and the corpse fluid inside will leak out of the mouth, regardless of whether it is poisonous or not.
After some deliberation, they decided to let Zhang Haike, who was the best at it, step on the stacked ladder and hang it, and make a hole in the coffin wall to see the situation inside before considering anything else.
After Zhang Haike went up, he first inserted the awl into it with the feeling of his fingers, and then tied the end of the awl with a rope, and found a safe corner of the tomb after jumping down.
Seeing that everyone was hiding, Zhang Haike picked up half a green brick from the ground, aimed at the awl and threw it over, slapped all the awls into the coffin wall at once, and finally pulled the rope hard and pulled the awl out.
I thought that there would be corpse water spewing out inside, but I didn't expect a very thick black smoke to come out, and it seemed that the dust and rotten and moldy things accumulated inside were disturbed and sprayed out.
It was only a short time to spray, and soon the tomb was quiet again.
Several people covered their mouths and noses with the corners of their wet clothes and looked at each other.
"It doesn't seem like a big problem." Zhang Haike took the lead and walked to the bottom of the coffin, "It's dry inside, I'll go up and take a look first, if it's okay, I'll just pick up the nails." ”
Everyone agreed, and Zhang Haike was sent up according to the previous method.
Zhang Haike lay on the side of the coffin and looked inside carefully, and his heart was broken when he saw it, and all the inside of the coffin was a very fine black dust.
Dust is more difficult to deal with than water, and they can be cleaned up slowly, but once all the fluffy dust is released, the entire burial chamber will be covered with a diffuse cover, and if the dust is poisonous or corrosive, they will have nowhere to hide.
Just as they were at a loss, a child suddenly greeted them and asked them to see a particularly strange object in the corner of the burial chamber, not far behind the coffin, which looked like a statue of some kind of beast from a distance.
It is not surprising that there are animal statues in the burial chamber, but it is strange that when everything in this burial chamber hangs upside down like the coffin, but this statue is squared on the floor in the center of the burial chamber, it is difficult not to be suspicious.
The ancestor of the Zhang family said in the training: If everything is strange, in fact, it is not called strange. The real strangeness has to be the universal phenomena, there are different things, whether you can understand them or not, this strangeness is for everything around you.
And this strange thing is the only contradiction that exists in the universal phenomenon.
The discovery of this contradiction is also an opportunity for many things, and if it is a conspiracy, this contradiction often exposes many things hidden behind it.
As soon as Zhang Haike saw that thing, he knew that this must be the key to the entire tomb.
Several people scattered, slowly approaching the thing from several directions, and when they got closer, they found that it was a bronze horse hidden in the darkness.
The bronze horse was only more than half a man tall, and its whole body was black, and the surface was full of raised spiral rivets, densely packed, as if the horse had some kind of circle skin disease. (End of chapter)
