Chapter 178: Funeral Terracotta Figurines

Confused, I held my phone up, then pressed the flip touch screen to switch to selfie mode.

Suddenly, I saw behind me, a man, a woman, and two children, grimacing at me.

I was so frightened that I turned around suddenly, only to realize that the bronze door behind me was still the same bronze door, a pair of terracotta figurines, and it was still an ordinary terracotta figurine.

But the two kids in the camera?

I broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Pang Guang reminded me in my ear.

"I've heard that the camera of a mobile phone can also see things that are not clean! It is estimated that the souls of these two little ghosts have been staying near the bronze gate, guarding the gate for thousands of years! ”

I suddenly turned around and carefully observed the pair of terracotta figurines in front of me, about 1m2 tall!

Could it be that this terracotta figurine was watered with a living person?

I suddenly remembered some of the records in ancient books when I used to look through ancient books. In the past, when a rich and noble family built a mausoleum after their death, they would choose a living person to accompany the burial!

The burial of the golden boy and the girl is the most common choice.

I've heard before that pouring mercury on a boy or a girl can keep the body alive forever. The method of watering mercury is to cut a small hole in the scalp and then pour mercury into the body of a living person.

Then this kind of terracotta figurines are estimated to be the same, smearing the two living villains with clay, and then pushing them into the fire.

Oh my God, such a cruel method! Now it is alive in front of my eyes.

I turned on my phone's camera again and shone at the two little people near the bronze door.

That's when I saw what those two imps really looked like. A man and a woman, both about eight or nine years old, the boy had a small round face and a small bun on his head, and he was glaring at me and sticking out his tongue.

The girl had a small pointed face, dressed in bright red, and there were two ruddy blushes on the left and right cheeks. The girl was quite docile, standing beside the boy with her arms in her arms, and looked in my direction with great confusion.

These two little ghosts look pretty cute!

By the way, I wonder if these two little guys know how to open the bronze door.

I turned my head and asked Pang Guang.

"Uncle Pang, do you have wax rice with you?"

Wax rice, rice made with candles, this is a more popular sacrificial tribute in the past two years, in Dongcheng, my longevity shop is still the first to sell wax rice.

Pang Guang turned around and put down the backpack behind his back. He kept flipping his hands, then nodded at me.

"With it, not much! Probably a small bowl. ”

I asked, "What else did you bring?" ”

"There are also some incense candles, paper money, and by the way, I also brought a bottle of liquor! Take two sips of your own when you're thinking! ”

It just so happens that the three-piece offering is complete.

I said, "Give these two poor little dolls an offering!" Let them have a good meal, light incense, smell the fragrance, burn some paper money, and sprinkle wax rice in front of the terracotta figurines! ”

As I spoke, Sun Hanhan and Pang Guang had already started to get busy.

The two of them first grabbed two handfuls of loess at the bottom of the cave, and then piled up a small mound in front of these two terracotta figurines, inserted incense, three sticks per person, lit incense and burned some paper, and sprinkled a small handful of wax rice in front of each little ghost, Pang Guang also contributed his own half bottle of liquor, and poured half a bottle of liquor in front of the terracotta figurines, eating and drinking, and this offering was not shabby.

Then I respectfully knelt between the two terracotta figurines, first kneeling three times and bowing nine times according to the old ritual. I said to the two imps in front of me.

"Two little dolls, I know you are pitiful. Yes, it is miserable, after death, the soul has been guarding the bronze gate for thousands of years, if you can help us open the bronze gate.

When we find what we need, I'll take your bodies with us when we come out.

My family is a longevity shop, there are a lot of tributes at home, I will bring you back to the longevity shop, every day to eat and drink for you. When you have eaten and drunk enough, I will do a ritual to surpass your souls, so that you can be reincarnated and no longer have to endure the pain of a thousand years of loneliness.

Two little dolls, can you help me? ”

I consulted with the two little dolls very religiously.

Now, the only people who can help us open this bronze gate are the two little ghosts in front of us.

As I spoke, I wondered if the two imps had agreed!

I beckoned to Sun Hanhan and motioned for her to hand me her phone.

Sun Hanhan hurriedly turned on his mobile phone, called for the camera function, and then handed it to me.

I used my mobile phone camera to point at the two small terracotta figurines next to the bronze door, only to find these two small terracotta figurines, each holding a handful of rice in their hands, and eating it deliciously.

The two of them found me holding my phone at them, and the male doll no longer grimaced, and the female doll was even more sensible with her empty hand, pointing to the symbols on the bronze door, one by one, pointing in order, as if we could open the bronze door as long as we did it in the order she pointed to.

I looked at the imp on the camera phone, carefully remembering the order of her finger symbols.

Then I slowly stood up, came to the bronze gate, and pressed the bronze door button again and again, according to the instructions of the little ghost just now.

With the press of the last button, only to hear the sound of "babbling", the bronze gate really slowly opened to both sides!

Seeing this, Sun Hanhan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"Oh my God! We actually got in with two imps! ”

I couldn't help but smile.

"Who says all ghosts in the world are evil? Ghosts are also changed by people, and people are divided into good and bad people. There is also a difference between good and evil ghosts. ”

Today, the bronze gate has been opened. Pang Guang and Sun Hanhan and I swaggered into the door.

As soon as I entered the doorway, sure enough, it was a burial chamber. As soon as I stepped into the doorway of the gate, suddenly, I heard an inexplicable laugh in my ears.

It wasn't loud, it was made by two dolls.

"Hey! You have to talk about it! When you come out, remember to take us with you! The girl doll said.

The male doll snorted and said, "This wax rice is so fragrant, I still have to eat a lot of wax rice!" ”

Two little dolls are really fun! I responded loudly.

"Okay, be sure to follow the teachings!"

Then, without looking back, he continued to walk deeper into the tomb.

When I walked into the tomb, I saw that it was brightly lit. All around are very dazzling yellow lights!

It is reasonable to say that this burial chamber should have been built around the Qin Dynasty, at least 1500 years ago. However, for a full 1,500 years, why can the lights still shine in this tomb?

I carefully looked around the tomb and found that there were nine oil lamps in the layout.

The nine oil lamps are about 1m65 meters above the ground, and each one is made of bronze, and the fire is unusually bright.
