They eat mutton for lunch. Barbarians don’t have rice and vegetables like Han people, so mutton is just rice.
The situation of sitting around a fire pit and eating like yesterday is not common in summer. Because of the hot weather, everyone has a bowl and eats it outside.
The two of them sat and ate in the shade. Twelve stood beside him with a bowl and ate. Fatty ate quickly. Seeing Fatty finish eating, Twelve would take the initiative to help him get more meat.
"Twelve is really good for you." Nanfeng said. Beauty and ugliness are actually caused by comparison. Without comparison, there would be no beauty or ugliness. In fact, Twelve is not ugly, but she is not as good-looking as Fourteen, and she is tall. Strong. If a woman is too strong, she will appear less delicate and charming.
"What's the point of serving rice? She will have to listen to me no matter what happens in the future." The fat man showed off.
Nanfeng frowned and glanced at the fat man. The three obediences and four virtues were the etiquette of the Han people. Barbarians should not talk about these things.
"Why don't you believe it?" The fat man pointed at the flower in the distance, "This is the rule set by my brother-in-law."
"What other rules did he set?" Nan Feng asked with a smile.
The fat man held out two fingers and said, "Just two. One, she has to listen to me. Two, I can't bully her."
"The rules are well established and fair." Nanfeng nodded.
While the two were talking, Twelve Duanrou came back, and the fat man changed the topic, "By the way, why did you offend that old witch? I saw she was angry when she came out of your room."
Nan Feng did not answer the fat man's question, but gave the empty bowl to the fat man, "I'm full, let's go back to the house first."
"Little Beifeng, come here, I'll take you down for a walk." Hua Ci'er shouted from a distance.
Maybe Beifeng shouted more smoothly than Nanfeng, and Hua Qi'er shouted wrong again, but Nanfeng didn't bother to correct it, "I'll go back and get something, and I'll be back soon."
Mutton is good, but eating too much will make you tired. The pancakes that Fatty brought over in the morning are still there. Nanfeng went back to the house to get the pancakes, chewed them and walked back.
The fat man had finished eating at this time and was talking to Hua Qi'er.
"Let's go." Hua Qi'er turned around and went ahead, "Today I'm going to let you see the belongings I packed in the box. The seven sects have a false reputation. When you go out, help me make a name for myself, so that they don't always look down on me."
There is a row of caves at the foot of Xishan Mountain. There are fifteen caves in total from south to north. From the outside, these fifteen caves are similar. Hua Ci'er led the two of them into the eighth cave in the middle.
Other caves are similar to cave dwellings. They are used to live in. They are neither high nor deep and contain utensils and furnishings. The interior of this cave is two feet high and more than three feet wide. There is only a simple set of quilts in the corner near the door, and there are no other living utensils.
There is a large stone door to the north. The stone door is divided into two doors, which are closed at this time. There is a fist-sized hole on the edge of the two stone doors. A thick copper chain goes through it, and the interface is on the outside. There is a big lock hanging on it.
"Brother, who is sleeping here?" The fat man looked towards the corner.
"Me." Hua Qi'er took off the key from her waist and went over to open the lock. "This is family property, so we must guard it."
Nanfeng held the pancake in his hand, chewing it while looking at the situation of the cave. The cave was not very rough, but it was not very detailed either. It was on the periphery and nothing could be seen.
Hua Qier unlocked the lock, pulled down the chain, and pushed the right door leaf with her shoulder.
Seeing that Huaqi'er was struggling to push, the two stepped forward to help. The stone door was more than two feet thick and extremely heavy.
After pushing out the gap for people to enter and exit, Hua Qi'er entered sideways, and Fatty followed closely.
Nanfeng did not rush in, but looked closely at the two stone doors. The surface of the stone doors was very smooth. Although the barbarians could also dig and carve, they were unlikely to have such superb skills. These two stone doors should have existed before. .
The two holes where the chains are connected at the stone gate are very rough. They should have been dug by the barbarians in the later period.
Even if he had never entered the interior, just looking at these two stone doors had verified his previous guesses. This was indeed the place where tortoise shells were placed. The barbarians discovered this place and modified it.
Observing the internal structure of the cave is only one of the many purposes of this trip. In addition, there are many important things that need to be observed and determined. Who made this cave? What is this person's identity
There is also the question of why this person placed the Heavenly Book here, for safekeeping or permanent sealing, or for some other purpose.
Through this stone gate, it can be concluded that the person who hid the Book of Heaven is not an idle man in the mountains. This person should have a very high power and status. Only this kind of person has the ability to mobilize and mobilize the craftsmen to dig and install such a heavy stone gate.
"Wow, it's so cool." Fatty shouted inside.
Just as Nanfeng was about to enter, he noticed at a glance that there was an area on the ground on the right side of the stone door that was different in color from other areas. The area with the abnormal color was rectangular, eight feet long and two feet wide.
Since the color difference is very obvious, the possibility of a mechanism is ruled out. Since it is not a mechanism, there is only one possibility, and that is that something was originally placed in that place and was moved away later.
If you think about it carefully, the epitaph is the most likely. An epitaph recording the identity of the owner is usually placed outside the tomb in front of the tomb.
If there was indeed an epitaph placed there before, this place should be a large ancient tomb.
"Come in, it's really cool in here." The fat man urged.
Nanfeng paused his thinking and walked sideways through the door.
At this time, Hua Qi'er was lighting the brazier in the passage. Through the light from the brazier, Nanfeng vaguely noticed that there was a long passage in front of the three people. The ground was paved with stone slabs, with stone walls on both sides, and the dome above was also a bluestone barrier. Build.
"Brother, why is this place so gloomy?" the fat man asked.
"This used to be a place where dead people were buried." Hua Qi'er's words confirmed Nan Feng's guess.
"Who was buried?" the fat man asked curiously.
"My grandpa said it was that person from the Zhou Dynasty. I was still young at the time, and he mentioned a personal name, but I didn't remember it." Hua Tic'er took a torch and walked forward.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. The age mentioned by Hua Cier should be correct. He once found a bundle of bamboo slips in the Yuqing Zong Sutra Pavilion. The words on the bamboo slips were the same as the words on the deerskin map. , according to the old mage who guards the Sutra Pavilion, that kind of writing is called Dingwen, which was used in the Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, his time in the Yuqing Sect was not in vain. In addition to offending people, he also did some serious things. If the old mage from the Sutra Pavilion hadn't helped him translate the tripod text, he still couldn't understand what was written on it.
"Do you think there might be a ghost in here? Why do I feel the coldness on the back of my neck?" The fat man suspected that there was a ghost.
Nanfeng was too lazy to pay attention to him. At this time, he was thinking about another thing, that is, the person buried here should be a very famous person. If the person was unknown, Hua Cier's grandfather would not be able to tell a child about the tomb. What does the master call, because there is no point in doing so.
Since this is a tomb, the tortoise shell was naturally buried here as a burial object. Regardless of who the owner of the tomb is, just confirming that this is a tomb is bad news for him, because this is a tomb, and the other eight It is very likely that the place is also a tomb, and the mechanisms of tombs are ever-changing, and there is no way to learn from them and prevent them.
However, fortunately Yuan Anning is studying the key techniques of Gongshu. With her here, she will not be helpless in the face of this situation...
