"Little Prince, to be honest, you got here a little earlier than us, and you opened the bronze-horned gold coffin. To be honest, have you seen the bones inside?" the fat man asked me seriously.
I thought about it and shook my head. I didn’t even know if I had opened the bronze-horned gold coffin. As for what was inside, I had no idea at all. But it was clear at a glance inside the dormitory. If there really was something inside, we
It won't be invisible.
"That's it." The fat man spoke with confidence: "Logically speaking, if this is really the underworld of this tomb, the owner's bones will definitely be in the copper-horned gold coffin, but now it is empty.
Yes, this shows that there is more to this tomb than what we see in front of us. In other words, the owner's bones are in other places, possibly deeper, but there must be a doorway to that place. If the entrance is not in
If it's on the surrounding walls, it must be underground."
I was stunned for a moment, looked around, and suddenly felt a sudden realization. Before, I felt that this tomb might be just a mausoleum, but now it seems that not only me, but also the fat man has doubts.
If this is really just a mausoleum, there must be an entrance to the real underground palace, and this entrance is probably right under our feet.
No matter how weird this place is and how complicated the layout is, some things are certain. The entrance to the tomb passage must exist, but we have never noticed it.
The fat man took out his willow shovel again. At this time, he needed the skills of a local rat. The entrance to the tomb passage was always in a specific place. As long as he found the correct location, he would definitely not have escaped.
Monkey and I started researching. Although this was our first time going to the ground, under the influence of the old man, we understood a little bit. Finally, the place we decided on was right under the wall where the purple-clothed child blended in. The three of us worked together
Uncover the tomb bricks in the ground one by one, and then dig down with a willow shovel.
After digging for less than a few meters, the shovel head shook, and a "gold brick" gradually appeared. The monkey shouted in surprise: "The diamond wall has a door."
The three of us suddenly became energetic and dug down as hard as we could, and soon a flat wall was completely revealed in front of us.
"Haha, how about it? Master Gua, I said there must be an entrance here. Mud Monkey, you lost this bet. From now on, your lower body is under my control, hehe."
The monkey rolled his eyes at him. He felt a little embarrassed after losing the bet, so he forced himself to defend himself and said: "Wait a minute, we have only dug one wall now, and the real entrance has not been found yet. It doesn't mean that I have lost yet."
"
"Hehe, you are really procrastinating, but I won't argue with you, Mr. Gua. Everything will be based on facts, so just wait!"
After the fat man finished speaking, he started to move without hesitation. I just wanted to stop him, but seeing how easily he took off a "gold brick", I swallowed the words that came to my mouth. But I felt very confused in my heart. Generally speaking,
It is said that this diamond wall should be very strong, but now it can be easily removed. Isn't this too easy?
Although I had some doubts in my heart, I didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the entrance was about to be opened, and any trace of vigilance had long since been swept away by the excitement.
Half an hour later, when a tomb passage with a height and width of several meters appeared in front of us, all the doubts in my heart disappeared. The guess was correct, this was the real entrance to the underground palace.
We walked into the tomb passage, and various signs showed that we were the first people to come in. What surprised me was that the murals on both sides of the tomb passage dared to look like gods and ghosts. This shows that the tomb should have been built in the Tang Dynasty.
After the middle period of the dynasty.
The Transformation of Gods and Ghosts is one of Wu Daozi's peak works, and Wu Daozi and Li Bai were figures of the same period. The content mainly depicts various tortures for evil people to enter hell after death. The purpose is to guide people to be good and not to enter hell after death.
Hell endures all kinds of pain. Of course, this painting of gods and ghosts was not painted by Wu Daozi himself, but a copy. The pictures are all sketches without any oil paint, but it is because of this that it gives people a creepy feeling
.
We all walked very carefully for fear of traps, but as we walked deeper and deeper, I gradually noticed some strange places.
There is no tomb door in this tomb passage. When we entered the Suspicious Tomb before, we went through three tomb doors before entering, but there is not one here. The entire tomb passage is empty and extends deep into the depths.
When we finished walking through the tomb passage, what appeared directly in front of us was a huge underground palace, much larger than the two above. There were two coffins placed on the deepest coffin bed, both of which were stone coffins, and they were both large and small.
The form is the same as above.
"It's a joint tomb." The monkey looked at me and said.
Nodding, we walked up together. The journey was unexpectedly smooth. Now that we saw the real coffin, all our precautions were removed.
"How's it going? Do you want to open it and take a look?" the fat man said while rubbing his hands. Looking at his look, I knew that his greed was off again. There was nothing we could do about it. Now we have entered the treasure mountain, and there are two more beside us.
In the side room, you don't need to look to know that there must be funerary objects inside, but the most precious thing is still in the coffin. With Fatty's character, he will never let go of this opportunity.
The monkey next to him was almost the same as him. His eyes were rolling back and forth on the coffin. No one knew what he was planning.
To be honest, not only they, but also me were very moved. I have suffered a lot along the way, I was frightened and even injured myself. Thinking about it, I feel sorry for myself. Now I have finally found the right person.
Hell, I would feel sorry for myself if I didn't take out one or two of the underworld weapons.
Especially in this sarcophagus, if it really belongs to the owner of the tomb, considering the size of the tomb, there will definitely be good things in it. If you get one or two items, this sin will not be in vain.
It’s just that the things I’ve experienced before have already made me frightened. As soon as I saw the “box (coffin)”, I couldn’t help but think of some weird things. Then I subconsciously said: “I think we’d better wait. I always feel something.”
Something is wrong, I think we should first figure out the situation here before making a decision."
The fat man was an impatient man. Hearing this, he said a little impatiently: "My little prince, are you idiots always so procrastinating in your work? Isn't it just opening a coffin and pouring it into a bucket? There are so many Taoisms, even if they are
There's something inside, it's like a rice dumpling, it's like a rice dumpling. There are three of us, and if one of us can give it to him, it won't be solved at once. Are you still afraid of being bitten and your hair will fall off?"
I gave a wry smile and shook my head. Seeing that he was determined to open the box, although we had not known each other for a long time, we were very attracted to each other. I did not want to refute his reputation, so I said: "Then
Okay, but Fatty, let’s make a deal first. If anything goes wrong, we will evacuate immediately. This is a fatal matter and there is no room for carelessness.”
Seeing that I was loose, the fat man grinned. "Don't worry, Mr. Gua, I haven't seen anything in the wind and rain in these years. I remember that in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, a big old turtle a few feet wide wanted to
I'm afraid I was scared away by Mr. Gua's two shovels. Now this little battle can't stop me. You just have to wait and see, I will definitely make you all fatter this time."
After finishing speaking, the fat man and the monkey walked to the sarcophagus on the left. According to the rules, men are on the left and women are on the right. This box should belong to the owner of the tomb. Since it is going to be opened, of course, pick the bigger one first.
The two-meter-long sarcophagus lid weighed hundreds of kilograms. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to move it. This time, what appeared inside was no longer a gold coffin with copper horns, but a vermilion wooden coffin, which is what the saying goes.
The "Blood Coffin" in.
The blood coffin sounds very perceptive, but it has no special meaning, just because it is red. This kind of coffin is made of cinnabar mixed with paint. Cinnabar has the effect of warding off evil spirits, but because it is expensive, it was not used in ancient times.
Only those high-ranking officials could afford it. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, cinnabar was a royal item in the palace and was invisible to ordinary people. This shows that the identity of the owner of this tomb must be very prominent.
The fat man scooped up the fallen coffin nails with a willow leaf, winked at me and the monkey, and then the three of us nervously lifted the lid together.
When I saw the body in the coffin, I took a breath and my heart beat hard.
The person lying in the coffin should be a man. The reason why I say it should be because his face cannot be seen at all. The body is wearing a set of black armor, and his face is actually covered with "ghost clothes" (dead man's clothes).
Cloth used to cover the face)", but because he was very tall, he was judged to be a man.
The strange thing is that this male corpse has not decayed yet. The exposed skin is purple-black in color. Although it is a little shriveled, it still looks very fresh.
To our great disappointment, there were no dazzling array of treasures in the coffin as we imagined. Apart from the owner, there was only an ancient black sword lying next to him. The ancient sword was about three feet long, full of brilliance and color.
It is bright and shiny, with no trace of oxidation at all. From this, it can be seen that this ancient sword must be very valuable.
We circled around the ancient corpse and all let out a sigh of disappointment. We originally thought about getting two good underworld weapons, but reality tore these extravagant hopes into pieces.
At the same time, the monkey and the fat man reached into the coffin respectively. The monkey grabbed the ancient sword, while the two fat men stretched their hands directly towards the face of the male corpse.
When I saw it, I was shocked, and I hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was already done. Before I could shout out, the fat man had already pulled off the ghost clothes on the male corpse's face.
According to the old man, because the ghost clothes are covered on the face of the dead, the breath of the deceased still remains, which is an unknown thing. Most people will take off the ghost clothes and burn them before burial. The dead cannot be covered with ghost clothes.
If they are buried, they will not be able to go to the underworld and be reincarnated. What is even more mysterious is that if they are buried covered with ghost clothes, the children born to them will become blind or even stillborn. Unless there are some special circumstances, such as the face of the deceased being severely damaged.
If there is a big trauma, or the deceased died unjustly, if it is covered with ghost clothes, then his ghost will not be able to find a way back.
