Pendulum Master

Chapter 41: The capstone of the ancient tomb

Views:

Our car drove out from ** o'clock in the morning and returned to Mr. Li's house in Rongcheng. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone is tired from the bumps along the way. Li Dazui took a taxi back to Mahua Street by himself. Zhengyang and I didn't have a fixed place, so we stayed at the old man's house temporarily, and Lu Jianguo also settled down together.

I looked at the hairballs, this guy was actually angry and refused to leave the backpack. Just throw it at the old man's house and put a few pieces of beef for it. I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I fell!

At seven or eight in the evening, it was completely dark, and I was awakened by a knock on the door. Zhengyang’s voice came from outside the door, still in such an unhurried manner, "Boy, let’s say something good, don’t lose your mind!" Zhengyang is at least 30 years old, and everyone calls me." "Boy", I was quite unconvinced in my heart, but when I thought there would be some place to rely on this bastard in the future, I agreed with a dark face.

"Oh! I'll get up right now!" I replied casually, washing, scrubbing, dressing and quilting, which took about ten minutes. Zhengyang was obviously impatient in waiting, and almost broke in, but his mouth was quite clean, and there was never a dirty word. "Hurry up, I missed the time, but I will wait another year!" Hearing this, I grabbed a backpack and hurried out of the room. Actually, I knew how many catties I was, and I was about to go to a dumping fight.

"Can you drive?" Zhengyang asked me. I nodded and said, "Yes!" On the co-pilot. We greeted the old man and went out. "To Jinji Mountain!" My heart trembled unconsciously, and a chill came up from the soles of my feet.

Jinji Mountain is the branch of the Beiling Mountains in Rongcheng. The local chronicle says: "When Qin Shihuang, the warlock said: This mountain has the auspiciousness of the golden rooster! It is named Jinji Mountain." The entire mountain is shaped like a rooster, with dense forests and many historical sites. There have been excavated ancient tombs, the Han Dynasty seat, the Southern Dynasty 18, and the Five Dynasties. Logically speaking, in such a small area, with so many tombs unearthed, there should be no ancient tombs. However, in recent times, it is said that this place is haunted, and now it is rarely seen.

When I think of this, I muttered in my stomach, did Zhengyang bring me here to see the scenery

Although Jinji Mountain is located in the urban area, it has been developed into a park. But in recent years, it has been dilapidated and there are not many tourists. I drove the car directly into the park, no one stopped the car, and stopped behind a peach forest. Zhengyang asked me to fold the peach branches together, about 80 or 90 branches.

I followed Zhengyang to a pool of Jinji Mountain. The pool is surrounded by trees, and a large rock is faintly visible on the ground to the west. A monster is lying on the rock, and wormwood has grown around it. At this time, it was completely dark and no tourist was seen. Zhengyang climbed to the rockery behind the water pool, took out the compass, and seemed to be looking at the Feng Shui dragon vein. He kept shaking his head. "There are water veins under the Jinji Mountain, and there should be dense mountains at the mouth of the water, such as the canine teeth intersect, the cranes are crowded together, and they are more circuitous for dozens of miles. It is good luck to turn back and refuse to leave. It is a pity that the mountains are here. Although there is, it has not formed canine teeth. If you want to rejuvenate this place, you must build a "Hongqiao" to connect the mountain tops to form water mouth sand and become a lucky place."

This person watched for another feng shui, frowning slightly, and said inexplicably, "This place is the collapse of the flood veins. It is difficult to find the veins in the mountains and the water. The traces are left on the stone. I feel vicious!" I don't read this kind of book very much. I didn't understand what he said at the time. However, I vaguely remember the explanation of the evil qi caused by the collapse of Hongmai in the "Maoshan Secret Yao", which is just four words "great rebellion." So I told Zhengyang about this record, and he suddenly realized it and explained it to me.

Although the "Beng Hong Mai" is auspicious cave, if the people buried in the tomb were executed, or the guilty person, Ji acupoint becomes a bad cave, and serious problems will occur in the cemetery. But Zhengyang also said that this tomb was so fierce that it seemed to be restrained by something.

I asked Zhengyang curiously, "Aren’t you familiar with this tomb? Otherwise, how dare you say that there is my handy weapon?" The variables are beyond my expectation!"

Zhengyang took out some yellow flags from his bag. He sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating with his eyes, and chanting a spell in his mouth. Seeing the yellow flag in his hand, rustling himself flew out, inserted it on the ground, and circled a square. I pulled the flag with my hand, but it seemed to have taken root.

Zhengyang looked disdainful, "The descendants of Old Man Xia don't understand this?"

"Are you touching the school lieutenant of Jin, or the general of Faqiu?" I have read several tomb robbing novels, so I know these tomb robbing genres, so I moved out to ask Zhengyang. Of course, this can only fool outsiders.

Zhengyang became more and more disdainful, "How can we use Tufuzi's method on Maoshan Road? The ancient tombs are all based on geomantic veins. Our Maoshan Road does not even need to be contemplated by Feng Shui, just sensing Yin Qi is enough!"

"The yellow flag encircles the tomb?"

"NS!"

Of course, in ancient Chinese, it can mean "yes" or not "yes". Similar to the current "oh" and "um" and "ok" answers. This way of answering is really so pretentious!

"Zhengyang, did you guys bring them?" I meant Luoyang shovel, engineer shovel, miner's lamp and other professional tools such as the inverted bucket. Zhengyang saw my thoughts at a glance, and even more disdain. "You want to dig by yourself?" "Yeah! How can I enter the tomb without digging?" "Oh! Old man Xia is afraid that he won't be stunned! Do you want to dig this bucket yourself? "You are a real person. How can you enter the tomb without digging? Is it possible to use the escape method?"

"Of course I entered from the top of the tomb!"

"If you want to go in from the top of the tomb, you have to use a Luoyang shovel to explore the tomb, and then use an engineer shovel to dig out the earth?"

According to the normal procedure, the Luoyang shovel should be taken out before the bucket is dumped. According to the soil brought up, the approximate scope of the tomb can be judged, and the burial depth of the tomb should be judged according to the depth of the cave. The powerful tomb thief can make accurate judgments on the tomb situation based on the mud or the touch of the Luoyang shovel touching the tomb chamber. Then mark out the area where the thief hole needs to be excavated.

"Oh! I'm a good boy! Boy, go look for it in the square circle and see if there is any problem!"

I walked to the circle surrounded by yellow flags, pushed aside the grass, looked for it carefully, and I saw the doorway. There is a white stone in the middle of the circle, and there is a beast on the stone. It is lying on the stone seat, and its limbs hang down softly, just covering the four holes of the stone seat. I walked in and saw that only a small section of the stone was exposed on the ground, most of which was buried in the soil. I guessed it in my heart, let alone this white stone, there are three to four hundred catties, presumably this is the top of the tomb.

"This stone is too heavy, we two definitely won't be able to pull it up!"

"Oh! Are you stuck in school? Can't you use a car to pull it?"

The road from Meilin to the water pool is enough to drive a car up. It suddenly dawned on me that I drove the car up quickly, took out the rope from the back seat, tied it to the evil spirit beast, started the car, increased the throttle, and pulled hard. Only hearing a bang, the stone was pulled up. A black hole was exposed on the ground, and a cloud of gloom rushed into the sky, and the surrounding air was also quite cold.

"Boy, do you know the way this stone has? Forget it, if you don't understand it, let me introduce it to you!" Zheng Yang looked at me with a dazed expression, and roughly introduced the white stone and the tomb situation. Fan.

The domes of this tomb belonged to the "four corner coupons", which appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and early Three Kingdoms, and were mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Its appearance has made the four weakest corners of the original tomb structure stronger. The increase in the span and height of the tomb makes the tomb no longer a place for burials that will be closed forever. It has been repeatedly opened in the era when the wind of joint burial prevailed. The burial chamber provides convenience. But in the funeral ceremony, it suddenly disappeared after the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The white stone in the middle is called "Zhentianguan" in ancient times, and "capped stone" in modern archaeological terminology!

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the tombs were usually covered with a wooden coffin. The dignitaries used pine wood, and the princes and princes used yellow intestines. The so-called "yellow sausage" is named because the wood used in the title is all cypress strips with the bark removed, and the wood is light yellow. The four-cornered bill-in tombs do not require outer shells, and they use blue bricks instead of wooden inscriptions. In history, only the Soochow area during the Three Kingdoms period was dome-style tombs prevailing.

"In other words, this tomb belonged to the Dongwu of the Three Kingdoms?"

"Yeah!" Zhengyang still had a calm expression on his face, without a trace of expression.

I was about to climb from the top of the tomb into the tomb. Zhengyang quickly grabbed me, and saw him take out a yellow talisman. After reading the mantra, the yellow talisman burst into flames. After that, he threw the yellow talisman into the tomb, and a flash of fireflies rushed out, and it went out after a while.

Due to the long-term closure of the tomb, there is a lack of oxygen. If people enter rashly, suffocation and poisoning will occur. Tufuzi lights candles in the tomb. The principle is actually the same as that of Maoshan's yellow symbols. Use the consumption of oxygen by fire to judge whether the oxygen in the tomb is sufficient.

"Okay!" Zhengyang lowered the rope from the dome, we slipped down and climbed into the main tomb. I turned on the miner's lamp and shot around in the tomb. The water in the tomb was past my knees and it was freezing cold!

I explored the miner's lamp and saw that the top of the tomb was made of blue bricks. Starting from the middle of the four-wall foundation wall, the blue bricks are built up diagonally from both ends to form an inverted chevron-shaped wall surface, and form a square cone at the top. The gap in the center is the "Zhentianguan" that we have pulled away! The foundations of the four walls are all made of blue bricks.

I walked a few steps from the base of the tomb to the center, and I felt like I was caught by something! I tried my best to pull, but found a force to hold on to my foot tightly. I shone the lamp into the water. It was okay if I didn't look at it. It was so hard to see that it scared me into white hair and sweat, and cold sweat on my back.

I saw that a dark hand actually grabbed my leg and neck... (to be continued) (end of this chapter)
