The thangkas used for the Buddha Displaying Festival in Shiliu Village were stolen many times. Lao Zhang also told me about this incident, saying that the person who finally stole it died unexpectedly.
I frowned and thought: "Does the curse really exist? Is it the curse of Tibet or the curse of the party members?"
This thing is invisible and intangible. It is so mysterious that people cannot believe it.
The gangster who raised dogs in the desert did curse me before he died. He cursed me with an inverted triangle pattern, but I forgot about it.
Dangxiang people are Xixia people. I am not sure if there are any purebred Dangxiang people in the 21st century, but according to the records in history books, Xixia is indeed very good at cursing.
The vernacular text "The Pearl of Fans and Han Dynasties" published in Ningxia in 1989, including the "Vernacular History of Khitan" and "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of the State of Xia" of the same period, all clearly stated: "The State of Xia believed in ghosts and curses, and every day
Whenever troops are sent out, divination must be done first to ask questions about good or bad luck and to solve difficult problems."
What I am talking about are the original descriptions of the Xixia Curse in official history.
At that time, another reason why the people of the Song Dynasty were afraid of the Xixia people was that the Dangxiang people had a clan rule, "Any enemy must be avenged."
The original description in the Song Dynasty's Xia Guo Zhuan is: "Tang Wute, if he takes revenge, he will not be able to sell his grain, men and women will be bald, all six animals will die, and snakes will enter the account."
Translated in vernacular, it means, "If a party member makes a grudge against someone and does not take revenge, the crops in the field will be left alone, both men and women will become bald, all the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep they raise will die, and venomous snakes will get into their tents when they sleep at night."
"In." It can be seen that everyone in Dangxiang has the character of retribution.
I was fine at first, but Xiao Xuan's unintentional words frightened me.
"What's wrong Yunfeng, you don't look good."
"It's okay. You can go to sleep quickly. You have to leave with the leader and the others early tomorrow morning."
Early the next morning, as expected, all foreign tourists who left the village in groups were rigorously searched, both men and women were searched.
Two young men were unhappy and shouted: "Why should I be searched? This is illegal! This is an invasion of my personal privacy! I want to file a complaint against you!"
Who is he complaining about? No one, the village chief here in Shiliu Village is the biggest,
r>
The village chief didn't even bother to show off, and just released a Tibetan Mastiff to bite people.
Good guy, I saw that the big Tibetan Mastiff was drooling. He stood up on his legs and was taller than an adult man. It scared the shit out of the two young men, and finally they dared not disobey.
After losing the thangka, people stopped filing a case and started practicing it.
The so-called method is for an old man to hold a stick in his hand, circle around the fire, and then wave the stick in his hand and shout loudly.
No matter how I look at it, the movements and expressions are a bit like the one played in the later TV series, Balala Transformed into a Little Demon Fairy.
"Old Zhang, what are you doing?"
"This is the first time I've seen this. My wife said it's called Please Climb God."
"What is it? Climbing God please? What kind of god is Climbing God?"
Lao Zhang shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's some god from one of their ethnic minorities."
Lao Zhang looked at the practice, squinted and smoked, and said: "Maybe it's a god like a gecko, centipede, or reptile, so it's called the Crawling God."
"No shit, you said it, but you didn't say it. Not only animals, but people can also crawl on the ground."
etc.
Three words suddenly popped into my mind.
"July Climb"?
Is there some kind of connection between the two? I don't know.
"Brother, let me ask you something."
"What are you asking? Didn't I just give you the money to repair the car? Ten thousand yuan."
"no."
Lao Zhang looked around and asked me in a low voice: "Are you guys grave robbers?"
The expression on my face slowly tightened, and I frowned and said, "What do you mean, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Look at you, are you pretending?"
"I heard what the round-faced girl said to you yesterday. At that time, I
Not far away, she said, I didn’t expect you to be a gravedigger.”
My face was gloomy and I didn't speak.
He patted my shoulder and lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything. It will be kept strictly confidential and no one else will know."
"It's not easy to make some money these days. It's useless for dead people to use the money. It's a waste of resources. Life is so stressful. It's better to let us living people spend it. Don't you think so, brother?"
I still remained silent. ??
He continued: "I know a place, not far from here, with an ancient tomb. If you count me in, I will tell you."
I turned around and walked back.
He hurriedly chased after him and said, "Really! I really know an ancient tomb. The key is that no one lives within a few miles of it!"
"I have always wanted to do a big deal. I used to want to do it alone, but I can't do it like this! You have the skills and I have the brains. If we cooperate, we will definitely make a lot of money!"
At this point, there was no point in pretending to be dumb, so I turned around and asked him what ancient tomb he was talking about.
Lao Zhang's eyes were small, and the most unpleasant thing was that he had mouse eyes. He rolled his eyes and said, "I checked the book, and it might be a tomb from the Yuan Dynasty."
Tomb of the Yuan Dynasty?
My heart skipped a beat.
"How are you sure? Don't you mean you don't understand?"
Lao Zhang laughed and said: "Someone was farming there before and picked up a broken copper kettle. It was flat and tied with a hemp rope. Some people knew this and told me that it was used by soldiers in the Yuan Dynasty. The hemp rope was to make the copper kettle
Tie it to the horse's back and won't fall off."
I was a little moved when I heard it.
Baotou and I rarely encounter Liao tombs and Yuan tombs.
It’s not that I don’t want to meet him, I think about it, damn, I miss him so much, I think about it day and night.
In Liao Dynasty tombs, it is often customary to bury copper coins and gold objects with them, such as the gold mask in the museum.
There are also very few copper coins from the Liao Dynasty unearthed in the market. There is a saying in our industry that "the eighth grade of Liao Dynasty coins is the eighth grade of Liao Dynasty copper coins."
The upper eight grades are copper coins with eight different year numbers, and the lower eight grades are the other eight coins. An era number.
For example, "Tian Xian Qian, Tian Zan Qian, Shen Shu Qian, etc." are not much worse than Da Qi Tong Bao. This kind of Liao Shang eighth grade is luxurious at a glance, and has never been seen before.
The main reason why we can't find this kind of tomb is that it is still difficult to find. Let me give you another example. In all dynasties, almost half of the imperial tombs have been discovered, but only the tomb of Emperor Yuan has been discovered very little.
It is said that the Mongolians have a habit after burial. They will drive hundreds or even thousands of horses to trample a place back and forth until the living soil is trampled into closely arranged dead soil. The mounds of sealed soil left on the surface will also
It was trampled flat, making it difficult for future generations to find traces.
Besides, Yuan blue and white flowers may also be found in Yuan tombs, which are even more valuable.
"so what have you thought of?"
"Just the two of us?"
"No, plus my wife, there are three of us." Lao Zhang said.
"Well, how about I take you to have a look? You don't have to leave the village, just go over there," he pointed behind him.
I actually didn’t hold out much hope. It’s not that easy to find the Liao and Yuan tombs.
Soon Lao Zhang took me to the place. When I arrived, I looked at the terrain and frowned.
It is backed by a mountain on one side and open on three sides. There are no houses around. It happens to be in the vegetable field of a family.
All they grow are radishes. The temperature gradually turns from warm to cool at the end of October. There is a temperature difference between day and night here in Kangding, so the radish seedlings that have just grown out are covered with a thick layer of insulation film.
There was no sign of an ancient tomb here, but Lao Zhang insisted that I look for it. He also knew the Luoyang shovel and asked me if I had one, and asked me to use the Luoyang shovel to search.
If I were to use a shovel to explore such a large vegetable field, I would have to dig at least dozens of holes. If there were no graves, I would have ruined all the radish seedlings that had just grown. If I left a hole, it would be easy for them to be dug.
Discover.
After thinking about it, I ran back quickly and took four thin copper tubes and some tools from our big bag.
It's like doing a four-wheel alignment on a car.
I want to try to locate the ancient tomb in this large vegetable field.
