Chapter 27 The Tomb of Clothes and Crowns
At this time, the moon had not had time to climb up from the other end of the mountain. The sky and the earth were covered with gray. Standing in this wilderness, I suddenly felt that the sky and the earth were approaching abnormally. I looked up and looked up, and saw the stars shining. When I closed my eyes, the breeze was gushing, which was also called the moonlit night of flowers and beautiful scenery.
Just as I was thinking about it, I vaguely felt the big teeth at the bottom of the pit calling me.
Taking advantage of the light in Liuye's hand, I looked into the pit and asked him what was wrong.
Daya knocked the soil under his feet with a certain uncertainty, and then he looked up and told me that it seemed like there was a kang mat below.
Hearing this, I quickly pulled down, knelt on one knee on the ground, and gently plucked the floating soil on it with a shovel. The light could see it very clearly. Below was indeed an old-fashioned kang mat woven with bamboo strips.
It was so deep underground that there would be no kang mat for no reason. I couldn't keep the thing covered under it. Daya and I looked at each other, and couldn't hide the excitement on my face.
I didn't bother to speak, so I picked up shovels one after another, and started to clean the floating soil on the kang mat one left and one right. The kang mat was not big, but what was surprising was that one layer after another was lifted, and five layers were laid inside and outside, which was much beyond our expectations. It was not until the last kang mat was lifted that a square hole leaked out and went straight to the ground.
A hole stolen?
My first reaction was to steal the hole.
Big teeth stretched their neck and looked in, looked up at me, "Lai Liang, what kind of hole is this? Why does it look like a thief?"
I stared at the entrance of the cave and nodded. It was indeed like a thieves here, but if it was a thieves, there must be a tomb below. Even if the military advisors were of poor quality back then, wouldn’t it be enough to build the village on an ancient tomb?
After hearing what I said, Liu Ye thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "Can it be that the burger accidentally discovered this burger while digging a vegetable cellar and felt it was unlucky, so he pushed the burger down and withdrew it?"
It seems reasonable to say, but I don’t think this is a possibility. I heard from Mr. Meng that it seemed that the military advisor insisted on choosing the place. Since this is the case, it may not be so simple. There must be something else to do.
Daya kept nodding beside him and murmured: "Lai Liang, do you mean that the military advisor had known that there were ancient tombs here for a long time, and building a village was purely a cover. The real purpose was to make the underground things. Are these people robbing tombs?"
I smiled faintly: "Now think about it, there is probably only one reason why this land has never grown. The soil here is not ordinary soil, but rammed earth! Rammed earth does not grow plants at all, and this big earth bun is not a barren mountain, it should be a 'sealed mound'. This place is originally a large tomb!"
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something again. Mr. Meng said that his uncle once said that everyone was reluctant to choose a location in the village back then. The military advisor insisted on doing so, but the big cabinet was very supportive. It seems that the military advisor must have known that this was a large tomb. It was for the sake of the things inside. It is estimated that only a few people at that time knew about this, and more kids didn't understand the truth at all.
In the past, bandits took over the top and fought for strength. In fact, to put it bluntly, they were fighting for money. Whoever had more money would have people and horses, guns and tomb robbers, and tomb robbers to pay. This has happened since ancient times. Every strand of scattered people secretly did this kind of thing, but no one has explained it.
After I said this, Liu Ye and Da Ya also felt it made sense and nodded constantly.
I looked at the hole, looked at Daya and Liuye. This matter was forced to come to my mind, and I couldn't give up halfway. I had to go down and take a look. Finally, I decided to go down and inquire about it myself. If there is no danger below and if I need help, let Liuye or Yangye come down.
Looking at this deep cave entrance, I didn't dare to go down rashly. After all, it has been out of ventilation for 60 or 70 years, and the air quality inside is really not guaranteed. If it doesn't work out, it will be suffocating to death. Anyway, it's still dark now, so there is no need to grab time, so I just found a comfortable seat and sat down, chatting about this matter while slowly waiting for time.
After waiting for more than an hour, I slowly stood up, tied a candle with a rope and carefully went down the hole. While laying the rope down, I watched the flames change. Although the candle flashed several times during the downwards, it did not go out. It seemed that there should be no problem with the air quality below.
Then I slowly began to slide down the tied rope, and after about six or seven meters, I reached the bottom of the hole smoothly and stepped onto the ground with both feet.
Using the headlight light, I found that there was indeed a tomb below. The hole robbed accurately and directly hit the back wall of the tomb chamber, almost close to the base of the wall. When I saw this level, I knew that the person who dug the hole must be an expert and a master of tomb robbing.
A gust of cold wind kept gushing out from the gap, mixed with a damp and moldy smell, as if the air inside was not very good.
I took a photo through the gap in the tomb wall and found that the tomb chamber was not too big, probably only five meters long and about three meters wide. The room was less than three meters high. It was just a lonely tomb chamber with no ear chamber or tomb passage. Compared with the underground palace underground in the ancient city on the face, it was a bit cold.
After I took out the candle and lit it, I carefully walked through the gap in the tomb wall with the candle, and stepped onto the ground in the tomb chamber with my feet. I felt that the ground was a little wet, as if there was a layer of moss growing, and it was a little uneasy to step on.
As soon as I entered this tomb, I suddenly felt the temperature drop a lot. My body was a little cold, and I always felt that someone was staring at me behind me, and the candle flame was beating extremely uneasy, as if it was possible to be extinguished at any time. From the corner of my eyes, I glanced at my own shadow on the tomb wall. I actually felt that the shadow seemed to be not my own, floating, and my heart was jumping "bang" non-stop.
With courage, I gritted my teeth and looked around, and then I found that there was no coffin on the coffin bed in the center of the tomb, but only a dome building was placed, like a big pot in the rural area, which was very strange. In addition to this, the four of the tomb chamber was empty. I guess even if there were burial objects, they had been cut off by the bandits back then.
When I turned to the front of the coffin bed, I suddenly found a stone tablet in front of the "round dome". Some words were carved on the stele. I took it carefully. It should be Manchu. I didn't even recognize a single word on it.
The round dome was forcibly chiseled open on the front, and I don’t know what it was inside. The tomb chamber was not big, but after turning it twice, I basically saw it. This group of tomb robbers was really thorough, and they didn’t even leave a piece of cloth. This place was like an empty tomb.
Suddenly, a storm of cold wind blew over, and the flames flashed and were about to be blown out. I was so scared that I quickly closed the flame with my hands. After all, the candle was not blown out. When I let go of the hand that closed the fire, I found out from the corner of my eyes that there seemed to be words on the opposite tomb wall.
I was extremely surprised and plucked up the courage to take the photo. Sure enough, there were a few lines of small characters left on the wall of the tomb. The characters were very harsh, but I could still recognize them. It was written in a crooked manner: Ye He Langzi. He was trying to get out of power, now the shame of the blood ancestor, Ulanara...
There are a few words after "Uranara", but for some reason, they were smeared out again. I can't figure out what the hell was. It couldn't be crossed out after writing typos, right? That's too shocking.
I couldn't think of what happened for a moment, so I quickly turned around and retreated to the bottom of the hole, shaking it with a flashlight, and then shouted the willow leaves.
It was not long since Liu Ye came down and followed me into the tomb. When she looked up, she was a little stunned when she saw that the coffin bed was not a coffin, but something from the dome. When she turned to the front of the stone tablet, she suddenly stood there in a daze when she saw it, she pointed at the stone tablet excitedly but couldn't say a word.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Liu Ye was breathing rapidly. He pointed at the stone tablet with his finger and said stammeringly: "Brother Hu, this tomb is the tomb of Jin... Jintaishi, but the one who erected the tomb was Huang... Huang Taiji!"
The tomb of clothes? Huang Taiji?
I can hardly believe my ears. The "clothing tomb" is similar to the "weapon tomb". The burials are not corpses. The "clothing tomb" are only the clothes, shoes and hats of dead people. Most of them are people who leave their hometowns or die in a foreign land because their bodies are not transported back to their hometowns; or those who cannot find their bodies due to abnormal deaths, their families can only bury their clothes, shoes and hats from their lives underground and set up a grave to express their longing.
But who is this Jintai Stone? The name is very familiar, but I can't remember it. What's even more strange is Huang Taiji. How could an emperor repair his tomb for others? What is the relationship between this Jintai Stone and Huang Taiji?
Looking at me frowning, Liu Ye probably guessed my confusion and whispered to me: "Do you remember that Ye He's curse? The one who made a poisonous oath before his death was Jintaishi."
After Liu Ye said this, I suddenly realized and finally remembered it.
The Yehe Kingdom was divided into Yehedong City and Yehexi City. Yehebeile Jintai Stone was stationed at Yehedong City, also known as Yehe Dacheng. According to historical records, this city was simple and unimaginable. It is said that the outer city was big stone, and the middle was a wooden city with mountain boards. Then there was a stone city, three inner cities and three outer cities. An octagonal Ming Tower was built in the inner city. The entire city can be said to be as solid as a golden soup, and it was easy to attack. The Ming Dynasty attacked several times back that time, which was a loss of troops and generals, and returned without success. Even the two city gates had never been broken.
Across the Yehe River, three miles away is Yehexi City, which is also the base of Yehebeibuyanggu.
Back then, Nurhaci led a large army to attack Yehe and attacked the two cities of the east and west. It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of Nurhaci's subordinates was indeed terrifying. They overcome all obstacles and were invincible. They broke through the levels of the East City like they were destroyed and finally forced the Jintai Stone to the Octagonal Ming Tower.
Speaking of which, this Jintaishi is the elder brother of Huang Taiji's biological mother Meng Gu. In terms of age, it is also Nurhaci's brother-in-law and Huang Taiji's biological uncle. However, this man was too strong and would rather die than surrender. He lit the fire and burned the Octagonal Minglou, pointed to the sky and sweared to the sky, issued a poisonous curse, then swung his sword and committed suicide, jumped into the fire, turning his bones into ashes, leaving the bones deserted.
After hearing Liu Ye talked for a long time, I finally straightened out the relationship between these characters, but I was a little confused and a little confused. If I were to say that, they were all real relatives. Why was Nurhaci so unkind? At least for the sake of his wife, I could not do this, so I would not have to pacify the Yehe tribe or even destroy all the members of the Yehe tribe.
