Brother Yu sighed and said, "We don't have time now, otherwise I would recite sutras and perform salvation for those who have passed away."
Douyazai turned around and asked: "Reciting sutras? Brother Yu, didn't you say that you have forgotten all that?"
"I haven't forgotten everything," Brother Yu scratched his head and said, "I still remember some of the Ksitigarbha Sutra and the Purana Sutra."
"Don't stay here, I feel very uncomfortable here." Ah Chun frowned and said he wanted to go out.
"The head? The head?"
"What are you thinking about?" I asked.
I took two steps forward and bent down to pick up an incense burner. I wasn't paying attention before and didn't even see the incense burner on the ground.
I wiped the dust on my head with my sleeve and looked carefully.
This is a manger stove made of brass. The bottom is engraved with the six-character inscription "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty." The copper is of excellent quality and the workmanship is fine. When it is cleaned, it turns yellow and looks like it is made of gold.
"Yunfeng, take a closer look and talk about this thing," he handed the head to me.
"Yazai, help me take care of it."
After looking at it carefully, I said: "Botou, this is not the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty."
"go on."
I nodded and said: "This manger furnace is also made of refined brass, but the weight is not enough. The weight on hand cannot reach the weight of Xuande's Twelve Wind-Refined Copper. Also, the word "德" was deliberately missing a horizontal line in my mind.
A deliberately imitated Ming Dynasty stove, this should be a Qing Dynasty stove, around the time of Guangxu."
He nodded his head repeatedly, "Yes, your eyesight is good. This thing is the stove that Guangxu imitated."
"Look at the inside of the stove." He stretched out his hand and wiped it with a layer of black and white ash.
"This is not dust, this is incense ash."
He looked around with a flashlight on his head: "This means that someone burned incense and worshiped here before, and left this stove."
"Take it away, this thing can be sold for money,"
I nodded and handed the stove to Dou Sprout.
As soon as the boss said he could sell it for money, Dou Sprout immediately stuffed the stove into his bag.
"Let's go, I can't take anything else with me, it's too cold here." He said he was going out.
Before I left, I looked back.
Those rusty instruments of torture were placed quietly There.
Ah Chun walked the fastest, Xiaoxuan was a little scared, and stayed close to me. We just turned a corner and were about to get out.
At this time, his head suddenly made a sound and stopped.
He frowned, stopped and said, "No. No, let's go back and take another look."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Not sure yet, let's go back first."
He returned to the secret room, pointed his head at the iron bucket placed in the corner and said, "Wen Bin, please move this bucket away. Yunfeng, go and help me."
"good."
"This thing is not light. Yunfeng, hold on here while I count. Let's work together."
"one!"
Brother Yu and I pushed the iron bucket and instantly exerted our strength and pushed the iron bucket aside little by little.
Behind the barrel is a wall, which looks fine.
He walked to the wall and squatted down. He looked carefully, then reached out and knocked. Suddenly he turned around and said, "Bean sprouts, take out the needle in your bag and hit it from here."
The diamond needle has two parts, and the needle is used to break the aspiration. The hardness of the tomb bluestone is much higher than this kind of limestone, so it is easy to break it.
After Dou Sprouts aligned the needle, Brother Yu found a stone and started to exert force.
"Smash!"
"It's smashing!"
As the gap grew larger and larger, it suddenly collapsed, revealing a large hole in the wall.
It was empty!
"Head! How did you see that?" I was startled.
Said the head: "I felt something was wrong just now."
"There should have been a table where the incense burner was placed. Some areas on the wall on both sides of the iron barrel are dark in color. They may have been burned with paper to burn incense, but why are there no traces of smoke in the middle?"
"There are only two explanations, either someone has cleaned it up, or someone has tampered with it."
"If it has been cleaned, it should not only clean the middle part, leaving the two sides.
So I think there is a problem."
I secretly smacked my tongue when I heard it, and my head was too observant.
Drilling through this hole, this is still a cave secret room, but the difference is that there are many things here, like things used by Taoist priests.
There were many wooden magic tablets, incense burners, etc. placed on the table, all covered with a thick layer of dust.
There are also a large number of bright yellow canvases hanging on the ceiling with ropes. Over time, those hanging canvases have become somewhat oxidized and look very old and dirty.
There is also a very old-fashioned broken cabinet, as if someone had lived here before.
I looked at them one by one with a flashlight, and found some incomprehensible patterns and words painted on each wooden tablet, like some kind of talisman. .??.
Brother Yu suddenly said: "This. This seems to be the arrangement of the dipping party."
He raised his head and frowned: "Dip Hui?"
Brother Yu shook his head: "Look at these yellow cloths." Brother Yu pointed to the yellow cloth hanging on the roof of the cave with a rope and said: "We used to pray in our temple. Once I saw Taoist priests do it, called Luo Tian
Dipping, very similar to this, is also used to pray for salvation."
"Come here quickly! There is writing on the table!" Xiaoxuan shouted.
There is a yellow cloth on the table where the memorial tablet is placed, with two passages written on it with a red brush.
"The talisman integrates the yin and yang of all things. Only those with a sincere heart can use it. With my essence, it combines with the essence of all things in the world. With my god, it combines with the god of all things in the world. I call upon the ghosts and gods within a small area and within the size.
Dare you disobey."
"Luo Qizhenhui saved people who died in vain and set an example. After a hundred years, it disappeared into thin air."
After reading these two paragraphs, Brother Yu and I looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.
This handwriting is exactly the same, we have seen it before!
The piece of cloth that Grandma Xiao Tang kept in the cellar also had this kind of writing on it!
It’s that female Taoist priest from the late Qing Dynasty, Chen Meiqing!
"Look! There's something up there!" Ah Chun raised his head and held up a flashlight, and suddenly said loudly.
I quickly looked up.
"What? Where is it?"
All I saw was layers of yellow canvas hung up.
"There! Did you see it?"
"Over there Behind two layers of yellow cloth! It’s blocking it! It’s a person!”
I followed the position she pointed at and took a closer look. My scalp instantly went numb!
There is someone hanging from the ceiling of the cave!
This man was covered in layers of yellow cloth, with only one shoe-clad foot exposed!
"Damn it! Someone hanged himself!"
Dou Sprout also saw the human feet and was so frightened that he immediately took a step back.
"Don't panic," he raised his head and said, "Even if you are a human being, you are still a dead person, so what are you afraid of?"
"Wen Bin, pick up the Luoyang shovel and lift up the yellow cloth to take a look."
"Okay," Brother Yu nodded.
The roof of the cave was not too low from the ground, so we connected the Luoyang shovel casings in the bag and twisted them together section by section to make a long iron stick.
Brother Yu held up the shaft and approached the human foot.
Slowly lifting the yellow cloth, the pole touched the hanging person.
With just a slight touch, the hanging figure seemed to have no weight and began to sway from side to side with its back to us.
Gradually I can see it.
She looks like a woman with long hair.
She is not very tall, has a thick rope hanging around her neck, and is wearing a Taoist costume. Because her back is to us, we cannot be sure she is a woman. We have to look at her face.
"Wen Bin, let's see if we can turn this person around." He said with a frown and a flashlight on his head.
"Okay, I'll try."
Brother Yu tried several times with Luoyang shovel.
I feel something is wrong.
Why is this person like this? He is so light and flamboyant. When the Luoyang shovel touches him, his hair moves wildly and his body sways back and forth.
But wait until the moment you turn around
See clearly.
This is not a complete person
The face was completely rotten, with only white bones and a pair of black holes in the eye sockets, but the hair was well preserved, as if it was glued to the skull.
The Taoist robe is worn on the body, but from the front it is full of rotten grass.
No wonder it's so light, the Luoyang shovel rocks back and forth when touched.
