Chapter 2: The Evil Demon of Yongzhen, the Tomb of Xuantong

Although it seems to be a joke to call the police, it has been highly valued by the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Less than an hour after the call ended, the local cultural relics bureau sent experts to the scene of the incident by helicopter.

After preliminary investigation, the experts present were shocked to find that the scale of the tombs here is far beyond that of ordinary princes and nobles, and even comparable to the imperial tombs.

The mausoleum is eighteen zhang high, that is, nearly sixty meters.

But unlike the boxy shape of a normal mausoleum, this mausoleum has eight sides, each one hundred and eight meters long, like a magnificent stupa.

This specification has far exceeded the level of ordinary princes.

In ancient times, tombs had strict standards, what kind of people, what specifications of tombs were used.

There are clear regulations on what specifications are for the tombs of ordinary people, what specifications are for officials of different grades, and what specifications are for the tombs of princes and generals.

Different dynasties have different regulations on the size of tombs. But there is no doubt that unless the owner of the tomb wants to rebel, ordinary people dare not cross it. Otherwise, once it is discovered by the imperial court, it will definitely be held responsible, and the whole family will fall to the ground, and the nine clans will be wiped out, which is by no means a trivial matter.

In addition to this, there is another question that comes to the minds of experts.

Wangbatun has a remote geographical location and extremely poor feng shui, what kind of princes and nobles will build a mausoleum here?

However, because it was only a preliminary investigation, no evidence was found that could determine the age of the tomb and the identity of the owner of the tomb, and this question has not been answered for the time being.

When the experts reported the results of their investigation to the leaders, the leaders were shocked, and the excavation of the emperor's tomb was a big deal.

After all, there are so many mausoleums of this specification in the whole of China, and there is one less one excavated, not to mention that there are countless imperial tombs and emperor's tombs that have been damaged in history, and only a handful of them are truly well preserved.

The discovery of an imperial mausoleum without any record in Wangbatun may excavate a new history to let the world understand an era and some stories that have long been buried in the smoke and clouds of history. It's bigger, this is the political achievement of the officials, with the political achievements, you can climb up, and you can be promoted and make a fortune.

The leader immediately made a decision to report to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.

Soon, the news that a large-scale tomb was discovered in Wang Batun, and it is very likely that the emperor's tomb was highly valued by the state.

Hundreds of armed police officers were dispatched to cordon off the 100-meter radius around the mausoleum, prohibiting anyone from entering the tomb area to prevent possible tomb robbers and villagers who heard the news and came to loot the cultural relics.

In short, before the arrival of the expert team sent by the imperial court, no one could excavate privately, and could only explore the scope of the tomb without damaging the tomb.

At the same time, the imperial court immediately organized a heavyweight archaeological team to rush to the site of the incident under the escort of the army.

The tomb robbers surrendered themselves in the early hours of the morning, experts from the local cultural relics bureau arrived at the scene of the incident in the morning, and the archaeological team of heavyweight experts from the imperial court came to the scene of the incident at noon.

The commander-in-chief of this archaeology is the well-known academician Pan Dingguo in the field of archaeology.

Pan Dingguo is over seventy years old, but he is in excellent physical condition.

His complexion was ruddy and full of a healthy glow. The thick silver hair is enough to make most programmers explode.

For this archaeological excavation, Pan Dingguo was particularly cautious.

Because once it is determined that this is the imperial tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, it will play an immeasurable important role in the study of Chinese history.

The Yuan Dynasty was founded only a hundred years ago, but it also experienced more than a dozen emperors. It has been more than 800 years since the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, but no individual or organization has ever discovered the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty emperor.

As for the reasons, there are two main points.

The first point: the nomads worship nature and believe that it is best to return to nature after death, so the emperor adopts the form of secret burial after his death, which completes the desire to return to nature.

Although Mongolia occupies the Central Plains, it still maintains a certain nomadic nature, and the migration is uncertain, in order to prevent the ancestors from being destroyed after the migration, so they do not build mausoleums.

The tomb form of the Yuan Dynasty royal family was to cut a large tree from the middle, then hollow it out, dispose of the emperor's body, put it in the middle of the tree, and then use a golden hoop to put it together and bury it deep in the ground. Finally, the tomb feng shui is trampled with horses' hooves, and grass is planted on top of the tomb after the trampling is completed.

It is not until the vegetation is abundant, and there is no difference from the surrounding environment, that the tomb is completed. After that, they will kill all those who know, such as the person who built the grave, the funeral procession, and so on. In this way, no one will ever know exactly where the grave is buried.

The second and most important point.

It is recorded in the history books that the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty was prevalent in thin burials, and there were not many burial goods.

All of the above are historical records, and as for whether they are credible, Academician Pan Dingguo is not completely sure. Because for more than 800 years, no one has ever found the tomb of the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty.

Academician Pan Dingguo observed the surrounding landscape and topography, his brows tightened, and the mystery in his heart became deeper and deeper.

Tomb culture has a non-negligible position in Chinese culture.

Whether it is the emperor or the general, or the ordinary people, they all hope that the ancestors can have a good tomb. Therefore, Feng Shui is something that ancient tombs value very much.

Feng Shui is also known as Qing Wu Shu and Qing Capsule Technique, and the more academic term is called Kanyu.

Wind is the vitality and field energy, and water is the flow and change.

Feng Shui is originally the art of the earth, that is, the method of inspecting the geography on the spot, also known as the earth phase, and the ancient name of Kanyushu.

It is a philosophy that studies the laws of the environment and the universe, since man is a part of nature, nature is also a part of man, and it has reached the realm of "the unity of heaven and man".

Even if Academician Pan Dingguo doesn't study much about feng shui, he can see that Wang Batun is a veritable poor mountain and bad water.

There is no green plant in the mountain, and it looks yellow.

There are many strange rocks in the mountains, and the wind is howling and the ghosts are crying and howling.

The water is like a sharp arrow, flowing straight down from the mountains.

Although the tomb is backed by mountains and rivers, it is located at the bottom of the valley and does not see sunlight all year round. When people stand here, they can't help but feel chills all over their bodies, as if there is a yin qi attacking.

This is the land of extreme yin, and the appearance of great evil will bring disaster to future generations.

Such a place, anyone who knows a little about feng shui, knows that it is definitely not suitable as a tomb in the yin house.

Academician Pan Dingguo walked into the makeshift headquarters and asked the researcher who was recording the tomb, "How is the situation?" ”

"Academician, the situation is more complicated."

Academician Pan Dingguo was not surprised.

Historically, archaeology has been complicated. This time the tomb is even more strange, the situation is not complicated to be problematic.

Without waiting for him to ask, the man continued, "The tomb robbers are trapped inside the tomb because the cave has collapsed. According to the other party's frank confession, we have found the collapsed thief hole. ”

"After our professional investigation, the tomb is 12 meters above the ground, but in order to ensure the safety of the researchers, it is expected that it will take another 12 hours to complete the maintenance of the robbery cave to fully expand and reinforce. We are currently communicating with the other party using the signal receiver left behind by the tomb robbers. ”

"The other party is emotionally stable and has provided us with a lot of very valuable information."

Pan Dingguo nodded, expressing his approval and satisfaction.

Archaeological excavations are important, but the personal safety of researchers is even more important.

Hearing that the tomb robbers had provided a lot of valuable information, Pan Dingguo suddenly became excited.

He asked eagerly: "What information did the other party provide, and did you confirm the identity of the owner of the tomb?" ”

When the researcher heard this, his expression suddenly became strange.

He looked at Pan Dingguo, and stopped talking, until Pan Dingguo frowned, and then smiled bitterly: "This tomb is not the imperial tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, or even the tomb of high-ranking officials and nobles, but ........"

After hesitating for a few seconds, the researcher whispered: "It is the Demon Suppression Tower built by the Yuan Dynasty Imperial Court. ”

"This is a picture of the tombstone taken by the other party through a mobile phone, and this is the result of our translation of the tombstone epitaph."

Academician Pan Dingguo's brows furrowed, feeling inexplicable.

Demon Suppression Tower?

What the hell is this?

He had been archaeological for many years, but he had never heard of a demon suppression tower of this scale.

Pan Dingguo took the two pictures handed over by the researcher.

The inscription uses the new Mongolian script, the official language of the Yuan Dynasty, which is the Basipa script. For the Ba Si Pa Wen, Academician Pan Dingguo has certain attainments.

The other picture is the Mandarin, a modern script deciphered by experts and scholars.

The inscription is to the effect.

At the behest of the Son of Heaven, the minister Basba built an eighteen-story demon suppression tower here, invited the gods and Buddhas to sit in the pagoda, and ordered the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to guard the eighteen-story pass, forever suppress the evil spirits, and not be resurrected.

This demon is cruel and tyrannical, cannibalistic and blood-drinking, devours souls, and kills more than 10,000 people loyal to my Great Yuan, and has the power of gods and ghosts.

Even if he dies, his body is invulnerable, and it is difficult to invade by fire and water, and it is inhuman.

If the descendants strayed into the Demon Suppression Tower, they should leave as soon as possible, and do not disturb the evil spirits, otherwise the world will be in great trouble, and the blood will flow like a river.

In order to prevent the resurrection of evil demons, the Son of Heaven forbade the common people to talk about his name and origin, and forbade any classics to record his past experience, just to keep him in the eighteenth layer of hell forever, and he could not be resurrected forever.

I hope that the latecomers will remember, and I hope that the latecomers will never be able to discover the Demon Suppression Tower.

If one day the Demon Suppression Tower is born, or the demon is resurrected, please remember its name - Xuantong.

After reading the inscription, Academician Pan Dingguo was already dumbfounded.

He has spent his life studying history, delving into the past, and has seen a lot of things, and knows the past and the present. But this time, he really gained knowledge.

In order to suppress the evil spirits, such a large underground palace was built, and such a bizarre thing had never been heard of since ancient times. What kind of evil demon deserves to make the Great Yuan Imperial Court so cautious, even fearful, that it even had to build a magnificent pagoda in this remote and desolate place, in order to be able to put it to hell forever after his death?

Academician Pan Dingguo did not know, nor could he imagine.

But this incredible, even incomprehensible, thing did happen.

Pan Dingguo said solemnly: "Report the information found here to the central government immediately." ”

"Help me connect with the Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Bureau, I want to have an online meeting with experts from the Imperial Capital."

After Pan Dingguo finished speaking, he looked at the thief hole that was being re-excavated not far away, his expression was extremely solemn, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Although he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, what kind of person is a person who still makes the court so frightened even if he is dead?

Such characters really exist!
