Chapter 16: The Tomb is Forest, and the Shadows Are Heavy (3)

Ling Yunfeng didn't dare to look up, and only swept away from the corner of his eye. I saw that at the edge of the flashlight, a white face was looming between darkness and light.

What is that? Instinctively, Ling Yunfeng was about to shout, but he immediately suppressed his emotions. As long as you can see something, no matter how terrible it looks, it won't be terrible if you get used to it. Unless it's something that can't be seen, it's really scary.

"If those books just now, if they can be rescued and protected, I don't know how many historical mysteries can be solved. Do you say it's Sister Chili?" Since Xiao Chili was the thing with his back to him, Ling Yunfeng was talking to her about how badly the books in the tomb were damaged just now, but there was a tactical sign language underneath.

"How to protect it? I don't know how many years, when you touch it, it will break, and if you have more people, it will become dust. Little Pepper replied as she watched the change in Ling Yunfeng's sign language. The paratrooper knife was across his chest, and his knuckles were a little white from overexertion.

"It's not those tomb robbers who destroyed it, these people only know money, how can they know protection. Do you say?" Ling Yunfeng's last sentence obviously shouted at the little pepper body.

Just when the thing behind him was a little hesitant, Little Pepper had already pounced, and it was an oblique slash from top to bottom. Ling Yunfeng handed the flashlight to Qi Tian, who was sitting on the brick bed, and outflanked him from the left side.

That thing was about to run away when it saw that the situation was not good, and it happened that Ling Yunfeng arrived at this time. A high whip leg swept right into the white face. The thing ached, and with a strange scream, it lay to the ground, and bright red blood flowed from its white face. When Ling Yunfeng saw that thing was bleeding, his heart became more steady. As long as it is bleeding, it is a living creature. As long as it's a living thing, it can be killed.

At this moment, Pepper slashed at the throat of the white face.

"Well, well, help! ......" only to hear the white face shout hoarsely.

"Shut up the old lady!"

Pepper's knife was already against the white face's neck, and with one hand, he grabbed the white face's arm and pressed him to the ground reflexively, and his knees against the white face's head and waist ribs. Don't underestimate this pose, it's an effective subduing move in Israeli Krav Maga. At this time, several people also saw that the white face was obviously a fat man, and the scary white face was just a mask.

Ling Yunfeng tore off the terrifying white mask, but inside was the obscene face of a middle-aged man. The snot and tears made his face smudge, and he also stained the ground, not to mention how disgusting. It was disgusting that Xiao Pepper took the knife and grinned even more, and his apricot eyes were wide open.

"Who are you, why are you hiding here?" Ling Yunfeng said with a ruthless face.

The fat man turned his suppressed head slightly with difficulty, looked at Pepper with his eyes, and muttered a little, but still did not make a sound.

"Look at what, beware of the old lady ruining your tricks. Hurry up!" Pepper also took the opportunity to withdraw the paratrooper knife he was holding, and shook his hand a few times that was not stained.

"Big guy, they're all peers, so it's hard for me to be okay!"

The fat man's Cantonese made the three of them a little uncomfortable. However, most of the main songs and film and television dramas of this era are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so a few people can barely understand them.

"Do you know how to speak Mandarin? still pretend to me here, and press him to that brick platform. I'll find a few rusty swords or something, nail him to them, and see if he's honest. Ling Yunfeng motioned for Little Pepper to do so.

Don't look at Xiao Pepper Jiao, but she is really ruthless, and she just pulled the fat man up, and the knife was pushed to the side of the brick platform after a few steps against her neck. Qi Tian also kept shining a flashlight on the fat man, afraid that he would do some tricks.

"This sister, it's not good! Oh, it's a corpse bed, let the dead go, it's so unlucky!"

The fat man was still yelling, and Ling Yunfeng kicked him in the ass. It was also that he was too heavy, and although he didn't kick him to the brick platform as expected, he also fell on his stomach for most of his body.

"Little bunny, you're too unkind. Really take the fat man and I as a soft persimmon!" The fat man turned around and wanted to fight hard, and saw that the three of them had distanced themselves from him, and looked at him with a strange smile.

"Okay, you're ruthless. Today, the fat man, I admit it, let's draw a way. The fat man sat on the floor against the brick platform, in a mixed (pronounced lin, northern dialect, meaning: don't care about anything).

"Yo, don't pretend to be Hong Kong? Ling Yunfeng said with some sarcasm.

As soon as Xiao Pepper heard the fat man's mouthful of Beijing films, he felt that his IQ was humiliated, and he was even more angry and wanted to go up and give the fat man a knife, but Ling Yunfeng stretched out his hand to stop him. However, she was also very curious, how did Ling Yunfeng find out that this fat man was pretending? It's just that it's not easy to ask at the moment, so she has to wait and ask slowly.

"Sister Jiao, don't worry, if this fat man is not honest. I'll needle him on this brick bed later, but if there are no dead people in the tomb, it's not called a tomb, isn't it?"

The fat man seemed to be a little afraid of Pepper, and his eyes immediately softened as soon as he met her.

"I said woman, let's put down the knife first, okay? We are all civilized people, why do we always use knives and guns when we have nothing to do? Do you say yes?"

"Who is like you? and is not honest with the old lady?" Pepper pretended to step forward again.

The fat man hurriedly waved his hand to show that he didn't dare. Then he said: "My surname is Wang, and I am a lieutenant under Cao Gongmen. I wonder if a few of them climbed the mountains or fell into the sea?"

What is the captain of Cao Gongmen? Who is Cao Gong? Is this captain a school or a captain? Ling Yunfeng and the others were all confused. Could it be that he also served as a soldier? Impossible, people who have been soldiers will have a kind of temperament in them. Apparently there is no such thing in this man. So what kind of lieutenant is he talking about?

The fat man surnamed Wang, when he saw that several people looked confused, his small eyes rolled, and he knew that these people were not people from the Tao. Or it's not a rule person in the tomb robbery industry, because any kind of profession and any kind of skill is inherited. Of course, many traditional occupations and skills have now been lost. After all, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the old traditional things have been abandoned, whether it is folk art, traditional medicine and traditional martial arts. Even this bad tomb robbery business is only dug up and blown up by a bunch of stunned people, and no one abides by those old rules anymore, let alone using this old technique or understanding this old lip incision.

Knowing that these people were not from the old tomb robber sect, the fat man hurriedly changed his words: "Oh, it seems that a few people don't understand archaeology." I, well, I'm an archaeologist. I didn't expect to meet a few people here, and I was fortunate to have three lives. ”

As he spoke, the fat man stood up, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

Although Ling Yunfeng didn't understand what the fat man meant, he could run into the ancient tomb in this barren mountain and wilderness without anything, what could it be that he wasn't a tomb robber? Of course, the matter that they were also here was automatically ignored by Ling Yunfeng. So taking the opportunity to receive the business card, Ling Yunfeng grabbed the fat man's wrist, pulled and twisted it, and clasped the fat man's elbow joint with the other hand, then grabbed and locked the fat man, and pressed it on the brick platform.

"Ah, bad luck, bad luck, this is a corpse bed! This is a dead man! It will be unlucky for three years......" The fat man was obviously very jealous of this brick bed, and Ling Yunfeng pressed it even tighter.

"Huang Feihong, visiting professor of the Department of Archaeology of Minyue University......" At this time, Xiao Pepper also picked up the dropped business card from the ground and read it out loud.

"Aren't you surnamed Wang? you don't speak honestly, a tomb robber pretends to be a university professor, don't you blush?" said Pepper, and went over to give the fat man two feet.

"Ah, my aunt and grandmother, Cantonese is originally Wang Huang is indistinguishable. I'm really an archaeology professor, but I'm a guest, a guest, hehe......" The fat man hurriedly defended.

"How can you prove it? With this film, you're a liar. Ling Yunfeng knew that he was a tomb robber, but he still wanted to hear him.

"Proof it, well, proof that, by the way, let's talk about this tomb. Do you know what era this tomb is?" the fat man saw that these people believed him a little, and he sold it again.

"Come on, don't try to fool us by talking nonsense. Pepper was clearly attracted to the fat man's words.

The fat man was not ambiguous, and began to gush: "If you want to talk about this tomb, look at the shape, look at the epitaph, look at the location, and look at the history." From the geographical point of view, this place is at the junction of the grassland and the mountains, if you want to talk about the big regime, it belongs to the Liao, Jin, Mengyuan and other dynasties. Because the nomads do not have the custom of building tombs, only those who have been influenced by Han culture for a long time will bury and build tombs. And it has to be a great admirer of Han culture. The Jin Dynasty is too short and unlikely. Meng Yuan's tomb is not like this. Therefore, it can only be the tomb of the Liao Dynasty. ”

Several people listened to the Tao and felt that it made a lot of sense. Ling Yunfeng also let go of his hand and let the fat man continue.

"Look at the shape of this tomb again, it is divided into three rooms, each with a corridor connected, and there are two ear chambers. The shape is also octagonal, round, and square, etc., and the direction is facing north and south. It further confirms the tomb regulation in the late Liao Dynasty. The fat man was very proud to see the concentrated looks of a few people.

"Then why is there no coffin?And this corpse bed, what is it for?You seem to be scared......" Pepper put forward his opinion at the right time.

"I said this girl, oh no, it's my aunt. This has to start with customs and habits, who are the people of Liao? Khitan people. They were buried in the sky before. Knowing that the sky burial is not it? It is to throw the dead on a tree and let the birds and beasts eat the meat. Later, under the influence of the Han civilization, he felt that this was not good, so he burned the bones to ashes, and then made a porcelain jar or a wooden puppet and put the ashes on it and buried it. Later, it was not buried in the sky. Especially the aristocracy, it's even more sinicized, you don't see so many tombs, murals, and burial goods...... This is all learned from the Han people.

As for coffins and the like, there are really none, and that's because they believe in shamanism and Buddhism, and believe that if you can lock your soul in your body, you will live forever. So they would weave the corpse completely inside with gold and silver threads, and they would make a mask of gold on the face that looked like the corpse......"

"Then you're going to wear a mask to scare us, and kill you, fat man......" Pepper seemed to find another reason to beat the fat man. Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian were both a little speechless.

"My aunt, I'm here to ward off evil spirits, who wants to scare you? Besides, I didn't know you would be in this tomb. The fat man hurriedly hugged his head and explained.

"Well, that's right. Then how do you explain that you are here, what else can you do but rob the tomb?" Pepper put down her hand, but if the fat man didn't answer well, she wouldn't mind giving him a few more shots.

"Aren't you here too?" the fat man muttered in a low voice, but when he saw Little Pepper's eyes, he immediately softened again, and quickly replied: "This place has been stolen a long time ago, and you have seen it, and it has been stolen many times, so everything that can be taken has been taken away a long time ago." So, who else is here but someone like me who is doing research?"

Hearing this, Pepper felt that it did make sense, and she couldn't stop nodding. Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they wouldn't believe this yellow fat man's nonsense, because if you don't come in, how do you know that there is nothing to take? So, he just came in to pick up the bargain, but he didn't expect it to be so clean here. However, Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian didn't say anything, because if the fat man could come in, then he would definitely be able to get out. So as soon as he made eye contact with Qi Tian, he had a tacit understanding to wait and see.

"Oh, I'm sorry for Mr. Huang just now. Tell us about this tomb. Little Pepper immediately changed into an innocent and delicate state, and her big eyes were still flickering at the fat man.

"Uh, okay then. The yellow fat man, who was just about to turn over and sing the serf, forcibly held back the words that he wanted to export.

Of course, Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian were almost suffocated into internal injuries, if they knew that Sister Chili, who has always been spicy, could also become Lori in seconds, they would not believe it if they were killed before. Both sighed at the same time: "Alas, women are fickle animals!"

Xiao Pepper ignored the two, but grabbed Huang Fatzi's arm, and shook it vigorously and said: "Teacher Huang, you know so much, hurry up and tell me, please......" The big eyes continued to flicker and discharge to the Yellow Fat Man.

"Alright, alright, let's talk as we go. The fat man Huang was crispy all over his body, as if he was full of energy, and stood up and began to speak.

Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian only felt goosebumps fall to the ground, and they couldn't help but shudder. However, they also followed closely behind Pepper and Fat Yellow.

"Look at these murals. The fat man took out a flashlight from his pocket and said according to the mural: "Men are all bald, with only a few handfuls of hair. It's not that they always stay up late to code words, but the Khitan people's hairstyle is like this. It looks familiar, right? It's similar to the hairstyle of children in the north. I don't know if this is a Khitan legacy. But do you think this is also very similar to the hairstyle of the devil? Because the devil was a vassal state of Liao at that time, it is certain that the hairstyle was influenced by the Khitans. Of course, women also had this hairstyle in the early Liao period. It was only later under the influence of Han civilization that he did not shave his head. After all, my Chinese costume is admired by all nations in the world......" Speaking of this, the yellow fat man did have a sense of pride, and Xiao Pepper seemed to be silent for a while.

"Judging from the specifications of this tomb, it should be a royal noble room. According to records, the highest specification of the Liao royal family was composed of three main chambers and four side chambers in the front, middle and back, and here there are three main chambers and two side chambers, only two side chambers less than the tallest. So, who do you think the owner of the tomb will be?" the fat man continued to talk, and Ling Yunfeng picked up Qi Tian and followed them.

A few people walked through the door facing the corpse bed, which was the door that Ling Yunfeng had not been to. Stepping into the threshold, I feel that the space is larger, and there is a feeling of a courtyard.

The lacquered pillars of the cloister are all painted. The cornices and arches are exquisitely carved and are even more beautiful. Just in the middle of the courtyard, in the back of the place, stood a pillar. The pillar is carved with all kinds of flowers, plants, birds and beasts, and there are many unrecognizable totemic patterns, along which the pillar really refers to the dome.

Ling Yunfeng only felt that the blood in his body was churning, and it seemed that there was power pouring into his body. This made him both excited and a little scared. He couldn't find a reason, and he didn't bother to look for it. I just think I might be sick, and I'll find a way to do it when I get out.

And when Ling Yunfeng inadvertently swept the dome with a flashlight, he found that something was wrong. Because the dome is painted with cosmic stars. Ling Yunfeng hurriedly shone his flashlight on it, only to see Beidou in front of him, and what made him feel that something was wrong, because that Beidou turned out to be nine stars. How is this the same as what I saw in my dreams? Is it a coincidence?

When people look at the Beidou, they are accustomed to looking for the North Star through the direction of the two stars at the mouth of the spoon, Ling Yunfeng will naturally look at the past like this, although the nine stars of the Big Dipper are more weird, but Ling Yunfeng is not an astronomy enthusiast, so naturally he will not delve into these, but he faintly feels that it is related to his dreams, can he still help himself recover his memory? Ling Yunfeng just shook his head with a wry smile. But the next North Star he found shocked him. Because it was not a star at all, but a round jade plate with a shiny bead inlaid in the middle.

"Ahh

"No, it's nothing, maybe it's on fire. Ling Yunfeng didn't know how to explain the churning heat in his body, and when Ling Yunfeng looked up at the jade disk North Star, the surging energy seemed to be poured directly into the top of Ling Yunfeng's head from the star.

"Do you have a fever, why are you so hot?" Qi Tian on his back was the first to notice that something was wrong, because he felt that Ling Yunfeng's body seemed to suddenly become hot. It's just that he hasn't shouted it out yet, but he was first seen by Xiao Pepper, who was still in front.

"You're too tired, and you're carrying a big living man, put him down. Xiao Pepper wiped the blood stains on Ling Yunfeng's sleeve while asking Ling Yunfeng to put Qi Tian down. He turned his head and continued to look at the fat man Huang with his flickering eyes and said, "Teacher Huang, help." I didn't see that my brother has a fever, and he has to carry someone on his back, so you can carry it for my brother. I know Mr. Huang is the best......

Hearing this, Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian had goosebumps again. And the fat yellow man seems to be very useful. Coming over and really carrying Qi Tian on his back. He also muttered: "If it weren't for Jiaojiao saying that a few of your classmates came to camp and accidentally fell into this ancient tomb, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you." I just said that I was a tomb robber, have you ever seen such a learned and enthusiastic tomb robber?"

Qi Tian on his back had to smile speechlessly. After all, let him learn from Pepper, he can't do it even if he is killed. Fortunately, the fat yellow man was just chattering there, and from time to time he showed a smile to Little Pepper that he thought was charming.

Ling Yunfeng felt that he was fine, and he was full of energy. But everyone didn't believe it, and he stopped explaining. It's just that when he looked up at the North Star again, he found that the pearl had already dimmed.

"Yo! Big Dipper Nine Stars! It seems that I should be fat, ah, my old yellow is lucky." Hahaha......" The fat man saw Ling Yunfeng looking at the dome, so he glanced at it. I didn't expect to be so excited at first sight.

"Do you know this Big Dipper?" asked Ling Yunfeng eagerly.

The fat man snorted coldly, and continued to look at the dome to himself.

"Oh, it's Mr. Huang, tell us about the Big Dipper. Only a knowledgeable teacher like you can preach for us. After saying this, Ling Yunfeng almost threw up. But in order to understand the matter of the nine stars, I had to endure the disgust to pat the fat man's ass.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. People only know the seven stars of the Big Dipper, that is, the seven stars of greedy wolf, giant gate, Lucun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, and Pojun, but they don't know that there are two hidden stars on the left and right. And these two hidden stars are generally invisible to the naked eye, and if anyone can see them, it will definitely prolong their lives. The fat man smiled triumphantly.

"And they all say that people have seven tricks, but in fact, people have nine tricks, and where are the other two, you know. The fat man laughed even more obscenely.

Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian couldn't stop nodding, it was indeed the Nine Tricks. Two eyes, two ear piercings, two nostrils, a mouth, plus the anus and urethra, aren't they exactly the nine orifices?

"Cut! nonsense. It's not nine tricks to count. Pepper blushed as she spoke, and stopped talking.

Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian, who were still convinced just now, were confused, and a question appeared in their hearts, why is it wrong? And the fat yellow man smiled even more unscrupulously, and when he saw the two stupid boys scratching their heads, they laughed even more happily.

"Huh, how does the North Star look like this? Also, it should be a jewel! If it were a night pearl, it would be more valuable!" the fat man suppressed his laughter, his eyes lit up, and he almost drooled with a greedy expression.

"If you don't say you're a tomb robber, you know if it's worth it. Pepper muttered quietly, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

"You know? I'm doing research for the sake of science, sacrificing myself for the sake of human beings to explore more areas. The fat man had already put Qi Tian aside and climbed up the pillar. Don't look at his obesity, this skill is very agile. It didn't take long to climb to the dome, and the pillar was just below the North Star, as if it were pointing there.

Just when the fat yellow man's hand touched the orb, the orb and the jade plate all turned into powder, floating in the air. When the flashlight hits it, you can also see the reflection of the bright light, which makes people feel like falling into the galaxy and traveling for nine days.

Seeing that the three of them were stupid, only the fat man who slipped off the pillar wanted to cry without tears.

(To be continued...... )
