"Master Pian! What do you mean!"
Just above the Thieving Cave, Mr. Pian said loudly: "I said why my right eyelid kept twitching today. Tomorrow is the last day of the month. I just forgot about it! Someone among the three of you is dead! Come up quickly!"
Douyazi whispered: "Fengzi, don't listen to his nonsense, what nonsense, we have worked hard for so long, and we are going to make a fortune soon, how can we just stop!"
I heard Master Fang shouting again: "If you don't listen to me! One of the three of you will definitely have something big happen to you!"
I immediately told Brother Douyazaiyu to stop. I asked why, because I was afraid of something happening! The longer I work in this industry, the more taboo I become about certain things that are unclear and unexplainable.
After coming up, I immediately asked: "Master Pian, please explain clearly, what does the dead person's opposition mean? We have attacked the tomb owner??"
The old man looked solemn and nodded: "To be precise, he hit the dead man!"
"Then can you do the math! Who among the three of us killed the person?"
I thought that as long as I knew who it was, I could just ask him not to go to the grave and stay up there. Anyway, we can still work with one less person.
I heard Mr. Pian whisper: "It can be calculated, but because I don't know the birth date of the tomb owner, I can only use the Wan'an compass to make blind calculations. This requires a lot of time and energy. It will take at least ten and a half days for me to calculate it."
months.”
"So long!"
Dou Sprout was covered in dirt and said loudly: "Ten days and a half is too long! The day lilies will be damn cold by then!"
At this time, Brother Yu asked: "Old sir, I'm afraid we can't wait any longer. Do you think there is any compromise?"
"Let me think about it."
The old man thought for a while, then suddenly took out three red cloth strips from his bag and handed them to us.
"Tie the red cloth around your waist. Remember, tie a slip knot when tying it. Whoever's red cloth falls off first after getting down will be the one who rushes to death! Run out as soon as possible!"
We do it, each other
The prime minister tied the red cloth strip around the other party's waist, and then went back to work.
Dou Sprout held a cigarette in his mouth and held the pin in his hand, and Brother Yu smashed it again and again! After a while, we broke a big hole in the top of the blue brick coupon, which was originally solid.
It was very quiet at the moment. I lay down at the entrance of the cave and listened to what was going on underneath.
It was very quiet, it was pitch black underneath and you couldn't see anything.
Turning on the strong flashlight and shining it downwards, the first thing that caught our eyes was the bluestone strips, which were very old bluestone strips used to pave roads. Now we were sure that under our feet was the tomb passage.
The height was too high, so we found a rope ladder and lowered it down. I climbed down first, followed closely by the others. The little Taoist priest also came down. He said that he had never seen the ancient tomb and wanted to come down to learn more about it. As for the little Taoist priest,
Xuan and Pian Ye stayed upstairs to take care of themselves.
Is the owner of the ancient tomb buried in the dragon's lair the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Lu Wende? It is impossible to draw a conclusion for the time being, but one thing is certain: this place has never been disturbed and it was the first time that a stranger set foot on it in seven hundred years.
"Look, Fengzi, there are murals on Guaiguai's wall?" Dou Sprout said after coming down, holding up a flashlight.
The walls on both sides of the tomb passage are covered with murals, some of which are faded. It is normal for Song Dynasty tombs to have murals, but the content of the murals here is very strange. They are not the traditional Eight Immortals or the Big Dipper, but all the characters.
picture.
It's probably a mural like this.
There were many ancient soldiers wearing leather armor, working together to carry a graceful and luxurious official sedan on the night journey.
There was a person on the sedan looking out. I didn't know whether he was a man or a woman, because the paint on his face was all peeled off, so he couldn't see clearly.
Brother Yu pointed at the mural and asked: "Boss, do you think this person is Lu Wende?"
look at head
The mural said: "It may be that you pay attention to the style of the sedan in the painting. This kind of sedan with cornices was an official sedan in the Song Dynasty. Riding in this kind of sedan has requirements for official positions. Lu Wende was a first-class official at that time, so he was qualified to be this kind of official sedan."
."
Suddenly, Dou Sprout pointed at the wall and said, "There are words here!"
I also saw that right under the painted mural, there was a line of boy written in cinnabar.
"In the fifth year of Xianchun's reign, Duke Ai moved his posthumous title to Mt. Suji in the eastern suburbs. How sad it is."
Suji Mountain should be the name of Xisai Mountain in ancient times. Brother Yu asked me: "Yunfeng, do you know when Lu Wende died?"
"I don't know, Brother Yu, I have to look up the information, but I guess he died between 1267 and 1269 AD, which was about the fifth year of Xianchun in the late Southern Song Dynasty."
"Then we meet, it's him!" Brother Yu said excitedly.
Dou Yazai said: "I think so, but this old boy is so damn greedy. Even the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty didn't enjoy the Tianxin Tomb, but he himself moved in and enjoyed it. Not only that, he also vacated the Tianxin Tomb built in the Song Dynasty.
The military pay treasury in the cave was used for burial, tsk tsk tsk! What a comparison! Sigh, you think, is it possible that his bones are still fresh after being buried on such a dragon vein?"
I said, who knows? Anyway, it is normal for someone to not die if he is buried in such a geomantic treasure land that hides wind and energy. It would not be surprising if he died.
Next, a group of us groped forward along the Qing Tomb Road.
Soon, we arrived at a staircase extending downward.
The area here is larger than I imagined, far exceeding the level that officials in the Song Dynasty could enjoy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the size of an imperial mausoleum.
Generally, officials do not dare to build steps in their own tombs. This kind of steps is called "stepping road". If there is no step, it is just a simple downward slope. In the professional term, that is called "瓓路". There are also people in our industry who
It's called "Dead Man's Slope" because that kind of slope and steps are not meant for living people to walk on.
this
At that time, I reminded Douyazai and Brother Yu to remember what Mr. Pian said. I said that no matter whose red strip of cloth fell off first among the three of us, everyone should get out as soon as possible.
Dou Sprout immediately said: "It's definitely not me! When I was young, the fortune teller said that I was destined to be a rich man, and also said that I could live safely to the age of eighty-six. Brother Yu, please be careful! I think it's probably you!"
Brother Yu shook his head and said: "I've never been afraid of this. I have my Buddha to protect me. I think it might be Yunfeng. Yunfeng, you should be more careful."
I immediately laughed and said: "Brother Yu, so you are still blessed by your Buddha to rob the tomb?"
"Grass!"
"Damn you! You scared me!"
The little Taoist priest pointed the flashlight at his chin and rolled his eyes. I was so surprised when I saw his face that I thought I had seen a ghost.
"Haha, you're doing this professionally, aren't you scared to death by looking at that bear?"
The little Taoist priest smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I am a Taoist priest who has an ultimatum. If there is really a ghost or something here, let alone anything else, my Kakaka will raise the knife and drop it! Three times five times divided by two will be saved by it!"
"
"dumbass."
"What did you say??"
"Nothing, I said thank you, but please don't say the word "ghost" in the tomb. This is the rule in our industry."
"Okay, okay, I got it!" The little Taoist priest waved his hand impatiently and said, "I came down here to see antiques. Where are the antiques? Why haven't I seen any of them?"
"Don't worry, isn't that right?"
Coming down the steps, I pointed to a niche on the tomb wall. From my point of view, I could clearly see that there was a small pottery town tomb beast placed in the niche.
After saying that, I walked over and tried to take down the pottery tomb beast, but it turned out that I couldn't reach it because of the height difference, so I called Brother Yu to lift me up.
As soon as my hand touched the tomb beast, suddenly, the red cloth strip tied around my waist fell off.
