Tang Sancheng picked up a dry branch and scratched it on the ground: "I was sitting on Qixie's shoulder just now. I looked around and found that the trees here were unusual. There were a total of twenty-one trees distributed in front of the cliff coffin.
Trees, their distribution positions are as follows..." Tang Sancheng said while quickly marking on the ground: "If these are connected into a line, what do you think this is?"
"I don't know." Bai Yi said impatiently: "Don't be so pretentious, just say what you have to say."
"This is the Bagua Array. There are eight gates opened in total: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing. There are eight gates opened. Enter from the 'Sheng Gate' in the east, and fight out from the 'Xiu Gate' in the southwest.
If you attack from the true north and open the door again, this formation can be broken." Tang Sancheng said: "Last time we came here, we couldn't see the whole picture, so we couldn't tell that this was the Bagua formation. Today I looked at it from top to bottom.
Only then did I discover the trick.”
"So, how are we going to get in?" This is the question Bai Yi is most concerned about.
"I couldn't have said it more clearly just now. Enter from the 'Sheng Gate' due east, due east!" Tang Sancheng glanced at the tree crown and stood due east without a compass: "We should enter from here!
"After saying that, Tang Sancheng walked straight forward. Bai Yi and Qixie looked at each other and followed behind him. Bai Yi stared at his toes closely, trying to keep himself walking in a straight line, while Tang Sancheng stood aside.
As he walked, he counted the steps in his mouth: "Forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight..." When he counted to "sixty-nine," Tang Sancheng shouted: "We are indeed in!"
Bai Yi turned around, and sure enough, the thorns behind him were far behind him. He took a deep breath: "You really have two brushes. It seems that I underestimated you."
Tang Sancheng said proudly: "It's good to know."
The cliff coffin is right in front of you. The green vines above the entrance hang down low, wanting to cover the entire cave entrance and fall straight to the ground. Sure enough, no one has been here for a long time. Bai Fu stood at the entrance of the cave and pushed aside the vines.
Looking inside, it was completely dark inside, and there was no clue what was happening. Bai Yi turned on the flashlight, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in. There was no other sound except a muffled sound.
Bai Yi thought he had experience in tomb robbing, so he went in first and turned on the flashlight. He found that there was a brazier on the stone wall, and there were flints on one side. Bai Yi picked up two flints and rubbed them together. After a while, sparks splashed into the brazier.
The fire in the brazier suddenly started to burn, and the cave became much brighter. Turning off the flashlight, Bai Yi sighed: "What a cave made by ghosts and gods."
"I can't tell." Tang Sancheng groaned: "This place is empty, there is nothing, but there are still some things on the stone wall." Through the firelight, Tang Sancheng saw deep carvings on the wall.
, it should be words, but: “What is this, I can’t understand a single word.”
"Besides there are patterns depicting the Miao people worshiping their ancestors." Bai Yi said: "According to the patterns, these words should explain the sacrificial scenes at that time. The ancestor of the Miao people was Chi You. At that time, the Miao people appeared in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
The Jiuli Tribal Alliance headed by Chi You formed the other two major tribal groups on the Gansu-Shaanxi Loess Plateau, headed by the Yan Emperor Shennong clan and the Huang Emperor Xuanyuan clan. The Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor developed from west to east along the Yellow River, and successively joined forces with Chi You in the Zhuolu area
A war broke out. Chi You defeated Emperor Yan first."
"Later, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang jointly defeated Chi You. "At the time of Xuanyuan, Chi You was the most violent and could not be defeated, so Huang Emperor recruited the princes and fought with Chi You in the wilderness of Zhuolu, and then killed Chi You. After Chi You's death, the world was in chaos.
, the Yellow Emperor painted a portrait of Chi You to intimidate the world, and the world settled down. After the defeat of Chi You's Jiuli Group, most of them migrated southward, beginning the Miao people's troubled migration history, which is still widely circulated among the Miao people today.
Following the legend of Chi You, they always believe in Chi You as their ancestor."
After listening to the story, Tang Sancheng wondered: "Then why did this mountain become a forbidden area? Since the scenes on the walls are engraved on the walls of ancestor worship, this place must be unusual for the Miao people. It is enough to have more people admiring it, but it is actually
It doesn’t matter if they don’t let people come, but they still have to recruit a voodoo girl to guard the coffin. It’s too evil!”
Hearing the word "Gu Girl", Bai Yi swallowed: "Where will the coffin keeper be?"
