Chapter 15 Thousand Coffin Cave
I tried to stand up before I raised my head slightly. Suddenly, my head hit something. The pain made my eyes look like a star. I hurriedly touched it with my hands. It seemed like a flat plate. I wondered why it was so short here. Did I rush into the cracks of some rock or under the stone?
I touched around and found that this was not the case. There were rough wooden boards within a foot of my surroundings. I knocked them and there was hollow behind them. With such a small space, I could only lie down and turn around, not even lifting my head or stretching my waist.
I supported myself and wanted to see the thickness of these wooden boards, but found that the wooden boards on it could move. After using the support, with a bang, a light suddenly appeared in the darkness. I pushed up my knees, gently moved the wooden boards on it away, sat up, and when I looked outside, I was stunned.
This is a white marble stone chamber with torches lit in all four corners. I shone around this, and I looked at the top of my head, where there were two pythons entangled with each other, and I was sitting in a coffin, with the lid of the coffin being turned aside.
Damn! Where is this? Who put me in the coffin?
I walked out of the coffin and observed the surroundings, and my heart became more and more strange. The white marble material carved with the treasure roof of the python was almost the same as the tomb chamber under the sea cemetery. Is it also related to Wang Zanghai?
I walked around and found that there were more than just this strange thing. I didn’t know when the clothes I had changed into rubber clothes similar to diving suits, which were the clothes worn by divers in the 1980s. I felt even more strange. Where did I get such an old style of clothes?
I pulled up the torch in the corner of the wall. I walked out from the door of the tomb. There was a corridor outside. Just as I saw it, I said, "Oh my God, the straight white marble corridor leads to the end of the three jade doors, exactly the same as the undersea tomb!!
What's going on? Why am I back? My scalp exploded. My mind began to get confused. Is this a tomb that looks like a sea tomb, or is it that I have never had a sea tomb? Oh my God, what's going on?
I rubbed my face hard, raised the torch, looked at the environment here carefully, and wanted to find out what flaws it was. If it was a similar tomb, there must be something different.
There was a wooden shelf on the corridor. It was like a scaffolding, with wooden boards on it. It became a simple overpass through the corridor, which could prevent the triggering mechanism. I didn’t know who was erected on it, so I climbed up carefully and walked to the opposite side of the corridor. The torch light was lit in the jade door of the middle back hall, and the two side halls on both sides were pitch black.
At this time, I remembered Lao Yang. He jumped down on the waterfall with me. I fell into the pond and fell into a coma for so long. When I arrived at this inexplicable place, how was his situation?
As I thought, I walked towards the door where the fire was coming. The light was quite bright and came out from under the crack of the door under the jade door. When I arrived at the door, I heard a sound from the door. When I pressed my ears against the door, I heard a cough.
Then, a person said in a voice: "What should I do? Can I open the coffin?"
Another voice sounded very difficult: "Three ministers said that we should not move the things here for the time being, let's listen to them."
As soon as I heard the voices of these two people, I was stunned. The first person to speak was a man named Man Oil Bottle, but the second person to speak could not hear it. Why, did he come to this place too?
What surprised me even later, I immediately heard the voice of a third person, who said, "Wu Sansheng is still sleeping now. We just opened it and took a look. What's the matter? I'm on Xiao Zhang's side."
I don't really understand what they mean, but the third person is undoubtedly a woman.
What do they mean by these words? It sounds like Menyoubottle wants to open a coffin, and the other person is hesitant because of Uncle San’s warning. At this time, a woman stood up to support Menyoubottle. I was confused at the moment. Why, Menyoubottle has found Uncle San?
While thinking, I lay down into the crack of the door to see who was talking inside. Unfortunately, the range of views in the crack of the door was limited. I only saw a woman's back, wearing a diving suit of the same color as me, with a petite figure and a big braid.
At this time, I heard the fourth one saying, "What should Qi Yu do? This kid is really good at playing tricks. I don't know where he went. Would we just throw him here?"
When I heard him say this, I suddenly became stunned. Qi Yu, this name is so familiar. It seems to be one of the people written in the previous list in Uncle San’s notes, etc., etc., isn’t it right?
I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Qi Yu, this name is not as simple as familiar. It seems that I often hear it, and I feel a very special feeling in my heart.
At this time, the woman in the crack in the door moved a step and gave up a space. I suddenly saw the bottle of Mon oil standing next to a black coffin, holding a prying pole in my hand. At this time, a woman came over. When I saw her face, I was so surprised that I almost dropped the torch in my hand on the ground.
Isn't this person Wen Jin? God, what's going on? Although I haven't seen her real person before. But Uncle San has many photos of her, I often see it, so I recognize her at a glance, which is absolutely right.
My doubts were so great that I almost pushed the door in and asked them clearly. At this moment, I suddenly heard a man say, "This underwater tomb is so big. It's not easy for us to find him. I think it's better to forget it. We engrave the marks along the way, and he will naturally follow him when he sees it."
"There is only this way now. Since no one objected, I will open the coffin and see what the owner of the tomb looks like." Men Oil Bottle raised the sled pole and was about to start. At this time, suddenly, a roar of water came from the room on the left, which scared me.
Everyone in the back hall turned their heads and a man asked, "What sound does it seem to be coming from next door!"
"Go! Go and have a look!" The oil bottle put down the prying rod and ran towards the door. When I saw something was wrong, I quickly turned around. I hid in the floor room on the right, put the torch on the ground and put it on the ground and put it out. Almost at the same time, I saw a group of people running out of the back hall. Then a woman exclaimed: "Look, there is a pool here!!"
At this time, I can already confirm that this is what Zhang Qiling and I described. The story they happened after Uncle San fell asleep, but he did not say so in detail in this passage. Why did I feel like I experienced it personally? Is it an illusion, or has I come back through the time tunnel? Or has my soul returned?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a man walking down from the overpass on the corridor with a fire note, secretly hid behind the jade door of the left room, and looked inside. When I looked a little, I found that it was the third uncle who was young. He seemed very upset and his brows were very tight.
After a while, Zhang Qiling and the others' voices gradually changed away. They should be walking into the pool and circling the stairs. Uncle San blew out the fire note and flashed into the jade door. I was frightened and thought, could I really know what happened later this time this time? No matter whether I was hallucinating or dreaming, I hurriedly followed and then stuck to the door of the left room and wanted to look in secret. Suddenly, my eyes flashed before my eyes. Uncle San suddenly walked out of the door again, grabbed my neck and said softly: "So it was you who followed me!" After that, he suddenly tightened his hand and tightly held my throat.
In a hurry, I wanted to shout: "Uncle San! I am your nephew!" But I couldn't say anything, so I couldn't grab his collar at once, and I wanted to pinch his neck.
As he pinched, a voice said, "Old Wu, wake up, are you having a nightmare?"
I shuddered, and suddenly my eyes went dark. I found that everything around me suddenly disappeared, Lao Yi was slapping me.
I sighed, it turned out to be a dream. When I turned around, I found myself lying on a pebbles stall with a bonfire lit beside it. Master Liang was keeping warm by the bonfire. Seeing that I was awake, I smiled at me awkwardly.
I pinched my nose hard, and I was very surprised. How could I have such a strange dream? Is it really like thinking about things every day and night? But it's not right. I haven't considered these things much recently.
Lao Yang looked at me in a chaotic state and wanted to slap me, but I kicked it away and cursed: "Your grandma is addicted to being beaten, right? Tell me quickly, where is this place?"
Lao Yang took out a signal gun from a bag next to him, pointing to the back. When I looked back, I found that the pebbles were very small, and there was a broken back. There was a cliff. It seemed that the rock vein where this underground waterway was located might be a step-down structure. There were mountain movements in some places, causing a series of faults. Lao Yang called out a signal flare at the top of the cliff with a "bang" and showed the scene below the cliff.
At first I didn't understand what I saw. When I understood, I was confused. I opened my mouth wide and could hardly believe my eyes. A dozen feet below the cliff was a natural cave with coffins densely packed with pieces, one by one, and some places were tired from several layers, with thousands of them, which could be said to be spectacular.
"This...what is this place!!" I exclaimed: "Oh my god, it's just a coffin warehouse!"
Master Liang walked to me and said to me: "In my experience, this may be a high-slope Miaoren Cave Burial Cave."
High-slope Miao people? Aren’t high-slope Miao people from Guizhou?
Master Liang shook his head and said, "Before liberation, there were many small villages nearby, with many ethnic minorities living in it, and a small number of Miao people. This shows that in history, there were Miao people living here. Look at these wooden coffins, they are all set up with wooden boards, which is very different from the coffins used by the Han people. I believe my judgment is correct."
I don't know much about this custom, but only know that some Miao people have always followed the funeral custom of "cave burial". They use natural caves as graves to place the coffins of dead relatives regularly in the caves, whether men or women, layer by layer, the ones below are loose and rotten, and the ones above continue to be stacked, so that the coffins will be closer to the age of the coffins. The deceased who enters the cave must be an elderly person over 60 years old in the family, who is married, not a bad death, an infectious disease or a different place, and can only be buried here.
The number of coffins here is amazing. It may have been hundreds of years of history. The coffins at the bottom have all rotted into soil, and the tops are also very old, probably because of the promotion of cremation and since the liberation, there have been no new coffins.
