At the end of the year, the yin and yang rush to short scenes, and the frost and snow in the sky are cold at night.
The sound of drums and horns at the fifth watch is solemn and solemn, and the shadow of the stars in the Three Gorges wavers.
Thousands of families cried in the wild when they heard about the war, and fishermen and woodcutters sprang up in many places of barbarian songs.
The crouching dragon and the leaping horse end in the loess, and the human affairs news and books are full of loneliness.
——"Gate Night" by Du Fu
…
The disciples of the Dajiang Gang sailed the boat to the left bank of Qutang Gorge, where the coffin was hidden on the side of the cliff. Bai Fu looked up and saw that the cliff was steep and hundreds of feet high, making it impossible for birds to rest. There was a black thing between the cliff and the cave, which was too high to rise.
Inserted between the cliffs, the vision is several feet long, like black charcoal.
The boat continued to travel for several hundred meters. At the foot of Chijiao Mountain, in the Bellows Gorge and on the Qianren cliff, hanging coffins were placed one after another like torii nests, densely packed and layered. These hanging coffins were shaped like wooden boxes and bellows, and looked like rotten wood when looking up.
These hanging coffins look messy and scattered, in groups of three and five, criss-crossing and scattered on the cliff. They actually contain the secret of Qimen Dunjia, which is exactly the layout of Yandu Hantan in the tomb feng shui.
, as the saying goes, 'the wild goose's feathers are vertical and horizontal, turning nine times and a thousand times'.
Bai Fu only knew a little bit about the Feng Shui of tombs. He didn't know what the layout of the hanging coffin was and what its purpose was.
Bai Fu carefully observed that there are several ways to install these hanging coffins: one is the "wooden pile frame type", one end of the coffin is placed in the cave, and the other end is placed on the wooden pile on the cliff. The second is the "natural cave type"
", the natural rock cave or rock crevice is repaired and the coffin is placed inside. The third is the "artificial excavation type", which is to dig a horizontal niche or square hole on the cliff near the river and place the coffin inside. The fourth is the "cliff wooden pile type"
, dig several small square holes horizontally on the cliff, insert wooden stakes, and then place the coffin on top...
Bai Fu asked: "How are these hanging coffins put up?"
Ruan Zhouxing replied: "According to the old man, there are three methods: If there are large trees or boulders surrounding the top of the mountain, hang a rope from the top of the mountain, cut a niche in the half rib of the cliff wall near the river, and hang the rope from the top of the mountain to lower the coffin.
The second is to build a path and dig a cave along the rock wall, bury the deceased in the cave, and destroy the passage after the burial. The third is to build a wooden frame from the foot of the mountain, lift it up and down with a winch, place the coffin in the cave, and remove the wooden frame after the burial.
Lose……"
There were recent hanging coffin burials. There were no surrounding trees or boulders on the top of the mountain to suspend ropes. During the daytime inspection, there were no traces of wooden structures used to build birdwalks. Moreover, the rock walls were smooth and hard, and there were no flying tiger claws used for climbing.
There is no place to start waiting for the hook lock.
There are many giant pines and cypresses in the mountains on the other side, but crossbows with rope hooks fired from the other side are like flying tiger claws, unable to penetrate the rock wall and fix it. Therefore, only birds can cross the two sides."
Having said this, Bai Fu had a thought in his mind and thought to himself: "The ordinary flying tiger claws and crossbows with rope hooks are of course ineffective, but the Tang Sect's snow spider ropes, gecko claws and other climbing tools that rely on stickiness are not impossible."
Bai Fu said to Ruan Zhouxing: "Let's park the boat nearby. We won't leave yet. We will explore the hanging coffin burial tonight!"
As dusk fell, Bai Fu, Ruan Zhouxing, and Ruan Jiangliu brothers took a small boat and arrived near Kuimen on the south bank of Qutang Gorge. The hanging coffins here had not yet been harmed by demons.
The Ruan brothers have excellent boating skills. They can maneuver a boat like a carriage. They can walk on flat ground in the rushing water of Kuimen. They find a secret corner and use the water flow to hover and moor the boat, hiding it.
When the jackdaws returned to their nests, the sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air was heard. Bai Fu raised his head and saw two "crossbow arrows with ropes" shot from the top of the cliff on the north bank of Qutang Gorge, towards the rock wall above the hanging coffin on the south bank.
With a "pop" sound, it stuck firmly to the rock wall. Two ropes were connected across the river on both sides of the river.
Bai Fu's prediction was correct, the 'crossbow arrow with rope' was indeed the Tang Sect's Snow Spider Rope.
Several men in black slid across the river along the ropeway and came to the rock wall above the hanging coffin on the other side. The men in black held night pearls in their mouths and used the faint light to drive a few wedges into the gaps in the rock wall. After fixing them firmly, they tied the rope to
On the wedge, we hung down the rope and came to the group of hanging coffins on the rock wall. We divided them into four groups of three and landed on the coffins.
When the Ruan brothers saw this, they suddenly realized that the theory of ghost fire and ghostly shadows would be destroyed without attack.
Bai Fu did not dare to take it lightly, but became more vigilant. He could see clearly from the bottom of the cliff that these men in black were obviously not ordinary tomb robbers. They were not arbitrary about which coffin they robbed, but were very particular. The coffin they chose, from
From a distance, it coincides with the direction of the twenty-eight constellations, and it actually looks like a flying bird attacking a fish.
I saw fire lights on the rock wall, three long and one short, and four groups of men in black started to attack at the same time.
To the east, the man in black threw the coffin in the direction of the wooden dragon off the cliff; in the south direction, pushed the crossbar under the coffin in the direction of the wooden dragon into the hole; in the west direction, opened the lid of the coffin in the direction of the wood wolf; in the north direction,
Push the wooden coffin into the carved niche.
Just listen to the "boom boom boom" sound of the windlass and winch, and dozens of hanging coffins on the cliff are rising and falling, moving in random patterns.
In the middle of the hanging coffins, on the cliff a hundred feet away from the river, a secret stone door slowly opened, revealing a cave the size of a carriage.
The man in black was so happy that he didn't care about exposing his whereabouts, and started chatting with each other.
Bai Fu's anger stemmed from his heart, and these jabbering words were not the ghost words spoken by the Ruan brothers, but Fusang words.
Whether it is Liu Bei's Tomb in Wuhou Temple, White Horse, or Shaolin Temple, if the Fusang people appear, there will always be no good thing.
Master Bai Fuyi was bold and decided to go into battle himself. He whispered a few words to the Ruan brothers. The Ruan brothers used their superb boating skills to sail upstream first, crossed the middle of the river, and then went downstream to arrive silently.
Below the cave.
Bai Fu's heart turned at will, and Kan Xun's true energy traveled throughout his body, spinning like a tornado with his spine as the axis.
Bai Fu didn't need any tools. With a stir of his legs, his body rotated like a tornado and soared into the sky. Once his true energy was exhausted, Bai Fu touched the rock wall with his tiptoes and jumped again like a big bird. After several ups and downs, he came to
Cave stone doorway.
At this time, all the men in black had entered the cave. No one could have imagined that someone would appear on this thousand-foot cliff, and there was not even a doorkeeper at the entrance of the cave.
Bai Fu's steps were light and he ran into the cave like a civet cat.
The cave was narrow at first, only allowing a carriage to pass through. After walking a few hundred steps, it suddenly became clear. After passing dozens of towering stone stalactites, there was a huge cave. In front of it was a huge bronze standing figure with the body of a bird and the head of a bird.
The face is ferocious, and the beak is as sharp and slender as an osprey.
The bronze standing figure holds a bronze ring with both hands. The ring is like a wheel with five spokes in the middle.
In the open space at the feet of the bronze statue, several bronze statues sit on their knees, resembling Thunder God, holding thunder drums, urn hammers, bared teeth, and wings growing on their backs.
Scattered around the human figurines are various types of bronze utensils such as bronze dragons, statues, swords, arrowheads, weapons, jade wares such as jade bracelets and jade bis, and countless huge ivory and other objects.
At the far end of the cave, there is a huge bronze sacred tree, several meters high. It has five layers of branches and leaves, each layer has nine branches. On the upturned branches, there is a sun bird standing on the flowers and fruits. The trunk of the sacred tree is hovering.
A golden dragon, with its teeth and claws dancing, and its graceful appearance.
In the center of the cave, under the cave dome that is several feet high, there is a bronze coffin suspended in the air. The coffin is shaped like a boat.
There is a gold foil decoration suspended on the lid of the coffin. The inner layer is a circle, surrounded by twelve ivory-shaped arc-shaped rotating light patterns. The outer layer of the decoration has four sun birds, flying high with wings.
The gold foil pattern rotates slowly, and the sun bird seems to fly in the opposite direction, lifelike.
