It has been hundreds of years since Kangxi, and no one can live for hundreds of years. There are no witnesses to what happened back then.
For powerful people, if they want to know what happened hundreds of years ago, they can only restore it through legends, preserved cultural relics, official and unofficial history, folklore stories, etc.
The leader is such a person.
The red-faced stone sculpture that Xiao Tang saw when he was digging Jerusalem artichokes when he was a child.
In the late 1980s, the Taoist stone sculptures from the Qing Dynasty discovered in the Yin Yang Cave (also called Yin Yang Castle by the villagers) in Tianguangdong Village are evidence of the cultural relics left behind.
That means that several Taoist priests of the Chen family are the last sacrificers of Guizailing.
What are they worshiping?
ancestor.
Offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Chen family in the Spring and Autumn Period and the descendants of Emperor Shun, Gui Man and Hu Man Gong.
....
After Baotou told what happened, Ah Chun pointed to the skeleton and asked: "Wang Baotou, if this person is Chen Qingjue as you said, do you think he entered Hu Cemetery? In other words, did you see him?
Hu Cemetery?”
"It's hard to say."
After shaking his head and thinking deeply, he said: "A real Taoist priest's way of doing things is different from ordinary people. It can only be said that Chen Meiqing imitated Chen Qingjue. The early Qing Dynasty four-eyed god mural we saw before was probably done by Chen Qingjue. Miss Achun
Do you understand?"
Achun nodded, "You mean that the mural was painted by Taoist Chen, but the time when Hu Cemetery was moved to Daoxian was much longer than the early Qing Dynasty."
"Yeah, that's right." He nodded in agreement.
"ah...."
Douyazai yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "In my opinion, we should find the big tomb as soon as possible, dig out the bronzes as soon as possible, and sell them out.
"How many days have you been drilling this hole? I've seen a lot of dead people's bones, but all I got was a broken incense burner and a sheep dung egg that was hundreds of years old."
The positions of Tou Tou and Dou Sprout Zai are different. Tou Tou wants to find out things, while Dou Sprout Zai wants to dig up bronzes and sell them for money. As for the mystery, he is not interested at all.
I am different from Dou Sprout, I am similar to Bantou, I am attracted by certain things.
This cave is very cold. It's winter now. If it's summer, listening to the gurgling water and burning a stove of fragrance, it does feel a bit like the water-moon cave, the cave heaven and the blessed land.
He turned his head and looked at the bones sitting on the broken futon quietly, and suddenly said: "This man was a Taoist Celestial Master in life, with advanced cultivation, but he was willing to remain anonymous after death and not receive incense. It is indeed worthy of admiration.
"
"Yunfeng, Wenbin."
He looked at us and said, "Although our stance is hostile, we somehow ended up here by accident."
"Then let's pay our respects."
I asked for a pack of cigarettes from Dou Sprouts and tore open the package.
I lit it and took a puff to make the smoke burn more intensely.
The head was stuck in the ground and buried with soil. I looked at the skeleton and said, "I accidentally broke into the Taoist priest's place of cultivation. I'm sorry to disturb you."
After I finished speaking, I bowed slightly, replaced the incense with a cigarette, and bowed.
Dou Sprout didn't know whether it was out of curiosity or something else. He came over and reached out and clicked on the skeleton shelf.
"do not move!"
The shout was too late. Dou Sprout touched it lightly with a finger, which seemed to break the stability that the skeleton had maintained for hundreds of years. He could hear it very clearly.
With a crash, the skeleton that was sitting cross-legged fell to the ground, and the skull rolled twice on the ground.
"Why are you touching him when you have nothing to do!"
Dou Sprouts opened his mouth, slowly retracted his hand, and whispered guiltily: "I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be so fragile and fall apart before I even touch it... It's not my fault, I really didn't use any strength."
Xiaoxuan said loudly: "I think you are just short of money. You lose money day by day. Besides eating and sleeping, tell me, what other good things can you do?"
Dou Sprouts knew he was in the wrong this time, so he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Why...."
Looking at the white bones scattered on the ground, he raised his head and sighed heavily and said: "There is nothing in this cave, let's go."
People went out one after another.
"Let's go Yunfeng." Brother Yu patted me.
"Oh, Brother Yu, please go first. I'll untie my little hands and go out right away."
"Then hurry up."
After Brother Yu left, I stood there, looking down at the bones scattered on the ground under my feet.
I buried a cigarette on the ground, half of the butt was bright red, and it suddenly burned quickly, as if someone was smoking it.
What caught my attention was not the cigarette butts, but the bones at my feet.
I was just talking about Bean Sprouts and didn't look carefully.
Three ribs fell to the ground, forming an inverted triangle pattern.
I stared at the inverted triangle of human bones.
"Yunfeng, come out quickly. Have you finished relieving yourself? I'm waiting for you." Brother Yu's voice came from outside the cave.
I looked again and saw that the skull fell to the ground, and its two eye sockets were looking at me, as if they wanted to tell me something.
"Hurry Mineko!"
"I'm coming!"
I thought it must be a coincidence, but I didn't dare to move. I turned around and trotted out of the cave.
After coming out, he raised his head and warned us: "You all should pay attention to the surrounding environment. Taoist Chen himself chose to become immortal here. I estimate that the tomb may be hidden somewhere not far away."
"Then what exactly should we pay attention to?" Brother Yu asked.
The head continued: "The large pits in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have a standard. In the Western Zhou Dynasty and the early Spring and Autumn Period, there were earth-pit and coffin-style tombs. This kind of tombs will leave small mounds of earth on the ground. In the past, we called them Zuotou and Yunfeng. What do you think?
Do you remember the tree in Moth Mountain?"
I remembered the first time I said it.
At that time, there was indeed a small pointed mound halfway up Shunfeng Mountain, and there was a tree growing on the mound. We remembered it clearly the first time we went there at night. The second brother said that there were mourning birds singing behind the tree.
(Owl), also said to be unlucky.
The leader continued: "The Chen State was a vassal state, and the first monarch was a vassal-level king. It has been rarely discovered before. However, in 1983, a large-scale tomb group of Chen State nobles was discovered in Dalian Township, with hundreds of them."
"I was also involved at the time. There was too much commotion and a large number of people in the industry went there. It quickly attracted the attention of the archaeological team and the Cultural Relics Bureau, so we didn't get much meat."
"Firstly, we need to pay attention to where there are cones, and secondly, we need to pay attention to the caves, you know."
"Understood." Everyone said in unison.
Brother Yu thought for a while and asked: "There are six of us, how about we search separately around here? We work in pairs."
"Well...it's very dark here and the terrain is complicated. I'm afraid of an accident."
"It's all right," Brother Yu said, "We don't have much time. It's more efficient to look for it separately. We don't have to go far. It's around here."
"How about we shine our flashlights on each other every half hour, and no matter who it is, if we find something, we flash the flashlight three times?"
He thought for a moment and said: "Let's go this way, it's safer to divide into two groups, three in groups."
Brother Yu said that’s fine, and we divided into two groups.
Douyazai immediately ran over and said, "Hey, Sister Chun, let's go together. I'm an expert in the industry and have rich experience."
"forget it."
Achun smiled and said, "I'd better go with Big Fish."
