Chapter VII Vertical Tomb
Grandpa was a cautious person. The next day he searched for a high ground and watched the mountains and rivers. Grandpa did not understand the burial customs of the ancient Ailao country, because Ailao was seriously sinicized in the later period, and the tombs followed the burial customs of the Han Dynasty. The Ailao burial customs recorded in historical books were already the burial customs after the burial customs of the sinicization. Since Xiao Ailao had never returned to the Han Dynasty, he retained his own unique burial customs, and these were not recorded in history. Therefore, the grandfather could not be sure whether the tomb of Queen Baoxiang followed Feng Shui.
The mountains gather spiritual energy, and the hills produce monsters. Grandpa looked at the shape of the mountain and found that this place was a very lucky place. The mountains stretched into the lieutenant dragons. After counting it, it was a entrenched state of the nine dragons. The dragon heads gathered into a group, each facing the sky, and seemed to be guarding something in the middle. The tomb of the Giant Ear King was far away from here. Under the condition that the road was not connected at that time, it had to be formed for seven days and six nights. Grandpa stared at one of the dragon veins and thought: At the end of this mountain dragon, the tomb of the Giant Ear King, which was the place where the nine dragons were guarded. It seems that Gu Ailao had a certain rule to choose a burial place.
Of course, this rule does not necessarily refer to Feng Shui. In fact, Feng Shui has two meanings: one is to view the invisible wind from a metaphysical perspective and the invisible energy. The other is to take a geographical perspective. For example, even people who do not understand Feng Shui know that people cannot live or bury people in places with sparse and humid soil. This is the most basic prototype of Feng Shui.
In Feng Shui, you must first learn to see the tangible, and then you can see the invisible.
Although I do not understand the traditional Ailao burial customs, Ancient Ailao is a multi-ethnic country and is therefore a multi-belief country. Some people believe in Buddhism, and a large number of people believe in local shamans. Since the shaman is a primitive religion, the forms in different places are different. However, in terms of burial customs, the practice of separation of man and gods is followed.
Although the tomb of Queen Baoxiang does not follow the Chinese Feng Shui technique, from a religious perspective, the tomb of the Giant Ear King is in the dragon's head, so the tomb of Queen Baoxiang is very likely to be located in the dragon's tail. At this time, the dragon's tail is vaguely visible, just behind the mountain. Grandpa came to a conclusion, and everyone immediately prepared dry food and fire tools, packed it up and entered the mountain. There is no need to repeat the process. After about two days, the four people arrived at the dragon's tail.
At this time, the technique of watching mountains and waters and qi to release tombs is useless, so we can only use traditional methods to look at the earthly methods.
Based on the soil and stone structure on the mountain, everyone roughly deduced several places suitable for tombs. They spent three days using Luoyang shovels to locate them. At noon, the horse rasp pulled out the Luoyang shovel and suddenly said happily: "It's there." Grandpa ran over and took a look, but saw countless black wood chips brought out from the soil layer about ten meters deep, and the wood chips were faintly red, and it seemed that they had painted.
Grandpa heard that his merit was not good, but Ma Bapi knew this well. He put the Luoyang shovel across his nose, closed his eyes and sniffed it carefully, and then opened his eyes, saying, "The air is stagnant and the taste is stagnant, the color is red and black, and there is a tomb below, which is less than 1,800 years." After calculation, it was roughly the same as the historical time of the existence of Ailao Kingdom. Everyone cheered up and immediately began to drill holes.
In this deep mountain, there is no need to watch the wind. The four of them snatched their arms and fucked them. It took only a moment to steal the hole ten meters deep.
This tomb is a stone tomb, without tomb bricks, and the top is sealed with blocks of stones. Everyone moved the stone away, and a dark wind blew up from below. At that time, the tomb robbery tools were still relatively primitive. Grandpa looked inside with a soft iron flashlight, and suddenly was shocked and said, "I have never seen such a tomb." But there was no tomb chamber or a tomb passage below, but a deep cave that was straight down, and there was no bottom at first glance. There were many wood embedded in the stone walls on the surrounding cave walls. At first glance, it was like there were thorns on the cave walls.
After more than 1,800 years, the wood was broken and some were intact, all in the shape of four-four methods. The one closest to Grandpa and the others, facing upwards, vaguely emitted a strange light under the flashlight. Grandpa is old and his eyes are blurred. He can't see clearly what is reflecting, but he hears the thin chicken tremblingly saying: "Oh my god, it's a gem. The grooves are chiseled on the wooden stake, and there are gems inside!" He was so excited that he heard the sound.
Grandpa was shocked and thought to himself, according to legend, the ancient Ailao country produces a lot of gems, which seems not fake. The Queen of Treasure Elephant has been buried in such a situation, and I don’t know what the scene will be deep in the tomb of the Giant Ear King.
Grandpa no longer valued money at that time. He was a honest and honest man. He was also coerced by Bai Laosi tomb robbers. Later, he encountered a curse from the face of a ghost. In addition, his relatives suffered a disaster and his grandmother passed away. Grandpa felt that it was the retribution for his tomb robbers, so he was determined not to fight over money. At this moment, he saw many gems. Although he was dazzling, he was not moved.
He said to everyone: "This vertical cave tomb may be the tomb form of the ancient Ailao Kingdom. I believe that the Queen of Baoxiang should be placed at the bottom of the cave."
The thin chicken has many hearts. When he looks down, the vertical hole is deep and it is pitch black, like a monster's open mouth, and a gust of wind blows from below. There is no climbing thing except wooden stakes on the wall hole. Although there is a rope, it seems that the length of the rope is definitely not enough. If you want to go deep, you will have to climb on the wooden stake with your bare hands, and you will be crushed to pieces if you are not careful.
Instead of this, why not take all the gems on the wooden stakes nearby? Even if they are sold, the income from ordinary people will never spend in their entire lives. Why should they take the risk of going down to the bottom of the tomb? He thought this way and brought up this idea. Grandpa was unhappy. If it were me, in that situation, he would definitely kick the chicken away with one kick, so that he could go as far as he could. Don't shake people's hearts here, but Grandpa is a kind person, thinking: What he said is right. If these three people are unwilling, I can only go down and check it out by myself.
Although Ma Bapi is a person who is tempted by money, he is very righteous. He had learned that his grandfather did not come for money alone, so he scolded his apprentice and said, "You are so poor, what a decent amount of money. You dare to talk to your master, my brother, if you believe it or not, I kick you down and now you will be killed."
Qiu Da was a good man. When he saw his master scolding his junior brother, he hurriedly protected the thin chicken and said, "Master, please calm down. Junior brother can't speak. Don't get angry. Let's go down. What's the matter for Uncle Chen? My junior brother and I obey the instructions." Ma Bapi was satisfied after hearing this and said to his grandfather: "Brother, children are ignorant, don't bother with them. Let's go down now."
Grandpa was moved and nodded. The four of them fixed the rope, threw the rope into the hole, and immediately went down the rope.
The rope was twenty-five meters long. It was enough in the ordinary tomb, but unexpectedly, I encountered this vertical tomb, and it was a lot shorter. Everyone went down for more than twenty meters. Seeing that the rope was about to end, the hole below was still not bottomed out. Grandpa swung his body and his body swayed in the air. He stepped on the wooden stakes that were spread beside him. He found that the wooden stakes were well preserved and there was no problem to hold someone up. So he said, "We have to rely on our skills next. Come one by one, I will take the lead first."
After all, these three people accompanied him to Fan Xian. Grandpa was a kind man. He was willing to rush forward, climbed up the wooden stakes, and moved around the thorny wooden stakes, tentatively looking for the strongest wooden stakes. Ma Roppie and others followed his route and were safe and sound for the moment.
He carefully lowered about ten meters. Grandpa put a flashlight on his waist, and could already see some grayish white things under the hole, as if it was about to come to the end. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qiu Daling suddenly screamed, and his hoarse voice broke the peace of the thousand-year-old tomb, but he heard him say, "Master, there is someone there!"
people?
Grandpa was shocked and looked up. He was lying on the thunder before, so he was focused and did not look around. Qiu Dalan had time to look around and found a dark thing lying on the wooden stake not far away, looking like a child lying on it.
When my grandfather looked up, the lights gathered together, so he saw it more clearly. After a closer look, he was indeed a child.
However, the child was really terrifying and terrifying. He was tied to a wooden stake and had turned into a mummy. There were no eyeballs in his eye sockets, but a pair of rubies were inlaid with them. His mouth was wide open and a piece of ruby was stuffed. On the naked corpse, gems were dropped. It seemed that they were children's corpses used to bury with them.
In terms of human sacrifice, it exists almost all over the world. This is really a very strange phenomenon. Thousands of years ago, various tribes, countries, and continents were separated by mountains, some were separated by rivers, and some were separated by sea, and there was no connection. However, in terms of tombs, they were surprisingly similar. Most of them were tombs, and most of them had coffins. In ancient times, the powerful and noble princes wanted to bury living people with them, which was also surprisingly similar.
This is a mystery that everyone can puzzle.
Grandpa sighed when he saw the corpse of the child stuffed with gems, and felt sorry for the child. Then he thought of his grandson, who was my family. He was filled with regret and kindness for a moment. Just as this complex emotion was intertwined, a creaking sound suddenly came from the dark hole, but the wooden stake under everyone's feet was difficult to bear the load for a long time, and there were signs of breaking.
Everyone was only concerned about observing the poor burial corpse. They stood for too long and caused this disaster. When they wanted to react, there was no time. The wooden stake broke suddenly, and the four of them fell down in the air. From time to time, they were hit by the wooden stake below. Fortunately, they were almost at the end and there were wooden stakes as buffers. Although everyone fell from a high place, they did not hurt their lives, they still fainted at the moment they landed.
