Volume 2 - Tomb of the General Chapter 38 - Boys and Girls
The two of us held our mouths and noses. The stench in the stone coffin was really indescribable. Even if we wrapped our clothes around our mouths and noses, we could still smell the stench that made us want to vomit.
Li Kun said to me: "Old Liu, the inside of this stone coffin is really smelly. What kind of smell is this? Even if it is corpse smell, it won't be like this."
I nodded and said: "This smell is really unbearable. It is probably that the corpse in the stone coffin was injected with something before death, and the sealing state of this stone coffin is still intact. After the corpse decomposes, this
The smell persisted for a long time, which caused the smell to ferment in the ten countries. Not to mention humans, even scavengers may not be able to stand this smell."
After saying that, I slowly approached the stone coffin, picked up a flashlight and shined it into the stone coffin, but the scene inside the stone coffin shocked me greatly after seeing it.
I saw two mummies less than one meter tall lying flat in the stone coffin. The bodies of the two mummies had rotted into a state of disgrace. There was no trace of clothing on the entire body. It seemed that they had no clothes during their lifetime.
Dress the two corpses in any clothing.
Li Kun also walked up to me and looked into the stone coffin. But the moment Li Kun saw the two corpses in the stone coffin, Li Kun suddenly cursed: "Damn it, this tomb owner
It’s really nothing. Even though there are already so many people out there burying him, he’s still not satisfied, and he actually let these two children bury him, his grandma’s.”
After saying that, Li Kun walked to the edge of the high platform, put his backpack next to him and sat down on the high platform.
I walked to Li Kun's side, raised my hand and patted Li Kun's shoulder, comforting him: "People can't be resurrected after death, and besides, there were many burial methods like this in that era. Unfortunately, they didn't live in a place like ours."
Let’s live in peaceful times, otherwise we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Li Kun turned his head to look at me and asked: "Old Liu, why do you need two children to be buried with him? There are already so many people buried with him outside. Isn't this enough?"
I sighed softly and said: "This is also related to the art of Feng Shui at that time. At that time, the art of Feng Shui was relatively scattered. At that time, there were not only the art of Feng Shui, but also the art of Qimen Dunjia, and some
People thought they were Feng Shui masters after they had learned a little bit about it, and began to predict fortune and misfortune or Feng Shui fortune-telling for others, which resulted in the Feng Shui technique at that time being relatively messy."
"Some people also integrated the art of Qi Men and the art of searching for dragons, and began to direct the construction of the structure of the tomb. This method of burying boys and girls together was also a relatively popular method at that time."
"Because Feng Shui emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang, look at the pattern on this high platform." As I said that, I pointed to the high platform where we were.
Li Kun turned his head and looked at the high platform we were on. He saw that this high platform actually had a Tai Chi pattern of one yin and one yang, and the stone coffins in the center were on both sides of the pattern.
I said: "The positions of the boys and girls in the coffin are also particular. Men who belong to Yang are white, and women who belong to Yin are black. The positions of boys and girls must also be integrated with each other, so the positions of boys must be
On the yin side, the virgin is on the yang side, thus forming the harmony of yin and yang in the general trend of Feng Shui."
After listening to what I said, Li Kun nodded as if he understood, and said: "I seem to understand, but it was a chaotic era at that time, and then it became like this, right?"
After seeing Li Kun's confused words, I also gave a bitter smile, turned my head and looked at the stone coffin behind us, and said: "If the Feng Shui of this tomb had not changed before, the contents of the stone coffin would
We can also find a place to bury the boys and girls and let them rest in peace."
"But now the Feng Shui situation here has completely changed. If we take these two boys and girls out for burial, the two of us will drive the Feng Shui pattern of the entire tomb. By then, the two of us will probably be dead.
.”
After hearing what I said, Li Kun sighed and said, "Then you can only put them here and not take them out for burial?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, but I have a way. We can change the pattern of this stone chamber, reverse the trend of Yin and Yang, and make this stone chamber escape from the general's tomb. In this way, the two little guys can also
Completely buried here."
After hearing what I said, Li Kun's eyes lit up and he said: "This can still be like this, Lao Liu, you are so awesome, so what should we do now, what do we need to do?"
I turned my head and looked at the stone coffin behind me. I saw that the base of the stone coffin was actually a circular chassis. There were two deep grooves on both sides of the chassis, and there were two grooves above the two grooves.
There is an iron hook that penetrates deeply into two grooves.
Seeing this, I said to Li Kun: "Old Li, look under the stone coffin."
Li Kun followed the beam of my flashlight and looked over. When he saw the groove, he said to me doubtfully: "Old Liu, why do you want me to see this?"
I said: "Follow me."
With that said, I came to the front of the stone coffin, and then squatted down and looked at the two grooves below, which were about twenty centimeters apart.
I said to Li Kun: "There are circular grooves on both sides. We only need to take out the iron hooks in the grooves and then rotate the stone coffin to change the yin and yang of the stone chamber."
After hearing what I said, Li Kun looked at me doubtfully and said, "You said this stone coffin can be rotated? Are you bluffing me?"
I rolled my eyes at Li Kun and said, "I'm fine, why are you trying to scare you? Quickly take out the crowbar and pry out the iron hooks on both sides."
After hearing what I said, Li Kun nodded, then walked back to where he was before, pulled the crowbar out of his backpack, and then walked back.
Li Kun squatted down, inserted the flat end of the crowbar under the iron hook, and then pushed it upward hard.
I thought it would be difficult to take out the iron hook, but with Li Kun's pry, the iron hook in the groove suddenly collapsed with a crisp sound and was disconnected from it.
Li Kun was startled by this sudden force and fell backward. I stretched out my hand to grab Li Kun and said, "Is everything okay?"
Li Kun nodded and said, "I was so startled that I almost leaned over."
After saying that, Li Kun waved his hand, walked to the other side of the stone coffin and pried off the grooved iron hook.
After everything was done, I said to Li Kun: "Let's turn the stone coffin to the right and turn your end to me."
Li Kun nodded, and then both of us exerted our strength. The next scene made Li Kun stunned for a moment. He saw that the stone coffin in front of him really began to rotate slowly. The ground of the stone coffin could indeed be rotated.
And the moment the two of us turned the stone coffin to another direction, there was a rumble in the entire stone chamber, and then we saw a burst of white mist suddenly rising from the stone coffin.
The moment the mist rose, the stench in the entire stone chamber suddenly disappeared without a trace, and what came on came was the sweet scent of pollen.
As soon as we heard this smell, Li Kun and our stomachs immediately started growling. Li Kun said, "Old Liu, what does this smell like? It's too fragrant."
I turned to look at the rising mist in the stone coffin and said, "This scent should be coming from the stone coffin."
After saying this, Li Kun and we hurriedly walked to the stone coffin and immediately looked inside the stone coffin.
But the moment we saw the scene in the stone coffin, Li Kun and we were immediately shocked. There were two shriveled and putrid corpses in the stone coffin, and there was actually a huge flower in the stone coffin.
At first glance, the huge flowers in the stone coffin are white. The branches at the bottom of the flowers are oblate, but the top is thin and pointed. The base is sharp, short and tapered or narrowed into a stalk shape. It is dark green, hairless, and has a thick middle rib.
The branches of the old plant produce aerial roots, the receptacle is green, slightly angular, with short triangular scales on the back, the petal-like tepals are white, obovate-lanceolate to obovate.
This huge flower is almost two meters tall, and this huge flower is really beautiful.
But the more I looked at this huge flower, the more familiar it seemed, as if I had seen it somewhere. Li Kun pointed at the huge white flower in the stone coffin and said, "Old Liu, this seems to be an epiphyllum."
After listening to Li Kun's words, I suddenly thought, yes, the things in this stone coffin are indeed epiphyllums, and the fragrance we just smelled is the fragrance emitted by epiphyllums.
But why did this huge white epiphyllum suddenly appear in this stone coffin?
Li Kun also said doubtfully at this time: "Old Liu, you said that as soon as we turned this stone coffin around, this huge flower grew inside. Is this because the two little guys inside wanted to thank us for saving them from this...
General’s Tomb, so let’s have fun watching the blooming of the epiphyllum. After all, we can only see the epiphyllum once a year, and this time it only lasts for more than two hours and disappears.”
Hearing what Li Kun said, I suddenly woke up, turned around and said to Li Kun with a serious face: "Old Li, what did you just say? How long does a flash in the pan last?"
Seeing my startled look, Li Kun took a few steps back and said, "It should take about two hours. What...what's wrong, Old Liu?"
I turned to look at the huge white epiphyllum in the stone coffin, and said to Li Kun: "This epiphyllum is indeed what they showed us, but this is a hint to us. If my guess is correct, this big tomb
