Chapter 19 Heifengkou Savage Ditch(1/3)
The train left at 2:00 p.m. We were so excited that we didn't sleep all night. I asked the fat man how much we had left in total. The fat man counted and said that there was still 15 left. This little money was enough for the travel expenses and food expenses for the return.
When I thought this wouldn't work. We haven't been back for more than ten years, so it's too inappropriate to go to see the villagers with empty hands. I have to find a way to get some money to buy some gifts for the villagers.
The fat man said he might as well sell my jade for a thousand eight hundred yuan.
I said you should keep it. Don’t always think about the little thing your father left for you. If you sell it, you won’t be able to get it back. Don’t regret it when the time comes.
Finally, I found something valuable. We had an Eagle Brand mechanical watch on it. It was bought by my father when I became the company commander. It was a limited edition that was limited and even if I had money, it could not be bought. It was worth more than 200 yuan on the market at that time. I went to Panjiayuan to sell the watch to Dajinya. My grandson bought everything. When he heard that we were going to Inner Mongolia to start, he also sponsored us 100 yuan and agreed that he would contact the buyer for what we found.
In the 1980s, three hundred yuan was enough for an ordinary family to live a luxurious life for two or three months, and it was a considerable amount of money. With the more than three hundred yuan, I bought a lot of food, including candied fruit, canned milk, canned food, chocolate, tea, etc. These things are not eaten in the mountains, and the remaining money was exchanged for national food coupons in the black market.
The journey of two days and two nights seems a bit long with anticipation. After arriving at the station, I have to take a tractor for a day, and then walk into the mountain road for a day and a night.
After entering the mountain, we couldn't walk again after less than a day. The things we carried were too heavy, and each of us had to carry more than 100 kilograms. I gritted my teeth and could still hold on. The fat man was really unable to do it. He sat under the tree and gasped, unable to even speak.
Thanks to the accountant who came out of the village to do business, he was still a half-aged child when we went to the line. He played with us all day long and called us "Brother".
When the accountant saw that we had so much luggage, he quickly ran back to the village and asked a few people to pick us up with donkeys. We all know these people who are older, and there are two girls of twelve or thirteen years old who were born after I left. They all called me "Uncle". I won't be too changeable when I hear them.
I asked the accountant: "Why aren't there young men in the village?"
The accountant replied: "The laborers in the village have all gone to work with the archaeological team. Isn't that the Tangshan earthquake in 1976? Although it is 100,000 miles away from us, it is in the same earthquake zone as us. This earthquake cracked the entire Niuxin Mountain in Lamagou. There is a tomb like a palace. Many of the brave people in our village have gone in to move things. That guy, the good guy, went there, but I don't know what to do, and it alarmed the county.
The government and the archaeological team followed. They said that this was the tomb of Empress Xiao of the Great Liao Dynasty, and they also sorted out all the good things from everyone's house, leaving nothing behind. Then the archaeological team and Niu Xinshan were not in tune with anything, as if they were saying that there were still many good things to dig under the mountain. They hired all the laborers in the village to work, and one laborer was responsible for food and drink and gave three yuan a day. It has been several years of practice, and it has not been done well, and many people are still working there."
When Fatty and I heard this, we almost vomited blood. We really dared to burn incense with our brothers, and even the Buddha fell out of the heart.
But there is no way. You can't go and share the public with the Archaeological Team and Cultural Relics Bureau to compete for territory. Since you are here, let's talk about it for a few days. Go back and find a way to find another place. Anyway, the large ancient tomb is not the only one in Niuxin Mountain.
When they quickly entered the village, the villagers who received the news were waiting at the door. Everyone rushed over and asked questions. Yanzi led his daughter to cry and said to us: "Oh, Lao Hu, you want to die of us, why didn't you have any news after leaving for so many years?" Yanzi's father hugged us tightly: "You two little bastards, you have no shadow once you leave. This time, you won't live for two or three years, and no one is allowed to leave."
Fatty and I cried. Fatty have lived here for six or seven years, and I have only lived for one year, but the people in the mountains are simple. If you have lived here, they will always treat you as a relative. This place is still the same as before, without any change, without electricity or roads, many people here have never seen electric lights in their lives. The more I think about it, the sadder I feel, thinking that when I have money, I must build a road for the villagers, but when will we be rich?
At this time, the old branch secretary in the village was supported and walked over. Before he could even come in front of him, he shouted: "The Chairman's children are back again? Are the Chairman's children still doing well now? How are you doing this?"
I was wondering if the Chairman is good now? I didn’t know how to go. I rushed to the front and held the old secretary’s arm and said, “He is good. He is lying in the memorial hall every day. Who would think of him? You can go in and see him by buying a ticket. Oh, by the way, it’s over long ago. Now Comrade Xiaoping is leading us to reorganize the reform and opening up.”
The old secretary didn't seem to hear what I said, and pulled his neck and asked loudly: "What? What did Comrade Xiao Ming do?"
Yanzi told me next to me: "Don't listen to him, and I don't know what to do. He became deaf in 1973 and couldn't hear anything clearly. He was still confused."
Then I realized that this was the case. I shouted in the old branch secretary's ear: "Secretary, I brought you a lot of delicious food. I will deliver it to you later. You can eat it slowly."
Everyone walked into the village while talking and leaving. The old branch secretary was still shouting behind him: "Children, go back and report to him that we firmly support the proletariat*... do whatever we should do."
In the evening, Yanzi's kang table was filled with fried pheasant slices and smoked deer legs, and a large casserole in the middle was boiled with sauerkraut powder and white meat. Yanzi's husband was very familiar with us before, but he went to Niuxinshan to work and didn't come back and could not see him for the time being.
Yan Zi's father drank and talked with us, and I talked about the ancient tomb in Niuxin Mountain, and asked him if there were any tombs of ancient nobles in this mountain.
Since ancient times, people in the mountains have always believed that tomb robbery is a side job that generates income, and there is no moral problem. In the north, the western Hunan area in the south treats robbery and murder as a side job. Mountain people serve as farmers during the day and bandits at night, hiding in the forest, killing past foreign merchants without leaving any living mouths. This is forced by a thousand-year-old living environment. They rely on the mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. If they are poor and bad water, they will eat ancient tombs and eat living people passing by. As long as there are ancient tombs nearby, people will dig them. In remote areas, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the king and law cannot control it. Although no one can explain this principle in law, the fact is that these are normal in deep mountains and old forests. Most of the ancient tombs nearby have been too long and have changed in the world. Otherwise, they would have been dug up by the mountain people.
Yan Zi's father said that when he was not liberated a long time ago, several young amateur "tomb robbers" appeared in the village. At that time, he didn't know that there was a tomb in Niuxin Mountain. They went to a legendary place to dig graves and dig gold. As a result, they encountered something, and they all went without going back. Yan Zi's second uncle was one of them. Yan Zi's father knew the approximate location of that legendary place, but he never dared to go there.
Speaking of the past, the old man fell into memories. He lit the old Yabuli cigarette pouch, took a few sips, pondered for a long time before speaking: "You want to find an ancient tomb, except Niuxin Mountain nearby. Therefore, according to the old man, from here to the north, through Tuanshanzi, it is five days away. There is a wild man ditch at the Black Wind Quay on the Sino-Mongolia border. It is said that the tombs of the princes and nobles of the Great Jin Dynasty, but there are few people in that place, and there are still savages. Do you have the courage to go?"
I had heard of the name of Yerengou at the beginning, but I didn’t hear of the ancient tombs there. What exactly was the tomb robbers on the other side who were harmed by? Don’t say I don’t know, Yan Zi’s father didn’t know, and no one in the entire village knew it.
There are too many dangerous things in the deep mountains and forests. Various wild beasts, even changing weather conditions, may take lives. If you encounter big smoke bubbles and cover them inside, even the gods of Daluo cannot escape.
We were determined to go, and Yan Zi's father couldn't stop him. No one in the village had actually been to Yerengou, Heifengkou, and only knew the approximate location. Because it was almost at the border and there was no people, the people in the village could not reach that far even if they went to the mountains to hunt or pick mountain goods. In addition, Yan Zi's father was old and had old cold legs, so he could no longer enter the mountains. Yan Zi was pregnant with her second child at that time. The young and middle-aged people in the village worked in Lamagou and would not come back in a short period of time.
Yan Zi's father said, "I'm always worried if I don't take you there personally. In fact, the danger of the Wildman Grotto does not come from Wildman. The key is that the terrain is complicated. When winter comes, the white hair wind will blow, and it is easy to get lost when you go in. But it's early autumn, so don't worry about this festival. If you want to go, you must bring more dogs and find a good guide. Our village has raised several mastiffs in recent years, and this time we will bring them all for you."
Mastiff does not refer to Tibetan mastiffs alone. In the northeast, a large mastiff is called a mastiff, which is not exactly the same as a Tibetan mastiff.
Hunter herders living in the forests of northern grasslands are threatened by wild animals such as wolves and black bears, and ordinary hunting dogs are difficult to deal with, so they learn how to raise mastiffs from Tibet. As the saying goes, nine dogs and one mastiff, this sentence does not mean that a mastiff can be produced in nine dogs. It must be a bitch of good blood. A litter of nine puppies will be born and locked in the cellar. They will not be given food and drink, and they will kill each other. In the end, the only one who survives is a mastiff. The mastiff is extremely ferocious by nature, and three mastiffs can tear a young bear to pieces.
There were three mastiffs in the village, plus five of the best hunting dogs, and they were all handed over to us. Yan Zi's father recommended a guide "Yingzi" to us.
Yingzi is only nineteen years old and is a rare Oroqen tribe. In this village, no one among the younger generation of hunters is better than Yingzi. She is a famous sharpshooter in the mountains. Although she is young, she has been hunting in the forest with her father since she was a child. She doesn’t know anything about the old forest. Two of the three mastiffs in the village were raised by her own hands.
Before leaving, I asked the swallows to help prepare some things, bird cage, glutinous rice, black donkey hooves, crowbars, a large bucket of vinegar, and soju.
After all the time was done, Yan Zi's father repeatedly told him that if he really couldn't find him, don't force him. Go and go back quickly. He kept sending us to Tuanshanzi before he went back.
I am more confident about finding ancient tombs. As long as I can get to the Wild Rendou, there is no ancient tomb. If there is, I will definitely find it. Regarding tomb robbery, I learned some knowledge from books, and most of them were told by my grandfather before. My grandfather Hu Guohua worked as an officer in the old warlord army. Some of his soldiers were once subordinates of the Dongling robber Sun Dianying. He participated in many large-scale tomb robbers. He was experienced. Most of the knowledge and knowledge of my grandfather was listened to what they said.
Tomb robbers have always been divided into two types: people and officials. Officials and thieves are both open-minded and aggressive, and they are specialized in taking on imperial tombs. Xiang Yu, the king of Chu at the end of Qin, should be the ancestor of official thieves. As for the three kingdoms, the digging army and the lieutenant were just to systematically organize the official thieves and form assembly line operations. There are also differences between amateurs and professionals among the people. Those who are amateurs dig whatever they are. Those who are professionals specifically look for some nobles and princes, and those who are smaller will look down on them.
The key to tomb robbers is to find ancient tombs. This is a profound knowledge. China has changed dynasties and changed over thousands of years. The construction and selection of imperial tombs are different. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the ups and downs were mostly tombs. The tumbling blocks mean the shape of the mound of blocks, which is like turning over a meter-shaped bucket and covering it on top. The four sides are lined. At the top is a small square platform, some of which are like the golden towers of Egypt. However, China has one more edge, but it is surprisingly similar to the pyramids in the Mayan civilization found in South America. No one can infer the connection between this middle.
The Tang Dynasty created mountains and tombs, with huge projects and majestic momentum. This is also related to the national strength of the prosperous Tang Dynasty at that time. The royal tombs in the Tang Dynasty were full of the style of the world's largest empire.
From the Southern Song Dynasty to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, wars continued one after another, and the largest natural disasters in ancient Chinese history also occurred during this period. China's national strength was weak, and the scale of the tombs of princes and nobles was not as luxurious as before.
Later in the Qing Dynasty, during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, the country's economy and productivity were greatly restored. The architectural style of the mausoleum changed. It focused more on ground buildings and combined them with the ancestral temple gardens for memorialization. It absorbed the anti-theft experience of the previous dynasty. The structure of the underground palaces and tombs in the Qing Dynasty was extremely strong, which was the most difficult to get started.
After all, no matter which dynasty or dynasty, the tomb forms in China over thousands of years all come from the five elements Feng Shui layout reproduced by the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi. They are inseparable from their sects and all the people emphasize the situation of the world. In the final analysis, they are pursuing eight words: within the creation, the unity of heaven and man.
This tomb culture is the essence of Chinese civilization. Mongolia, Uighurs, Tufan, Jinchi, Wusun, Xianbei, She people, Jurchens, Dangxiang and other ethnic minorities were greatly influenced. The pattern of tombs has been imitated by the Central Plains, but most of them have only the superficiality. It can be said that as long as you know how to see the veins of mountains, rivers and rivers in the world, you can easily find the ancient tombs that are hidden deep.
Going further forward is the endless primeval forest. Yingzi led eight big dogs to open the way in front, the fat man led a pony with a tent and other supplies and equipment. I walked behind with a hunting rifle, and the group entered the mountains and ridges on the Sino-Mongolia border.
The fat man asked Yingzi in front while walking: "Big girl, what's the matter with the savage in the Wild Rendou? What is the savage? Have you seen it?"
Yingzi turned around and said, "I don't know what a savage is. My father said that many people have seen it over the years, but no one has caught a living person, no dead person has seen a corpse, and no one has seen anyone who has seen it clearly."
I smiled behind me and said, "Fatty, you are so damn uneducated. As the name suggests, savages are wild people. You can study hard in the future. Do you know what wild people are? They are born in the wild, they may be born on trees, or they may be grown in the fields, but they are not artificial anyway."
The savage is very mysterious. The legend of the savage in Shennongjia has a long history. I have heard in the army that a PLA soldier once shot and killed a savage in Shennongjia. The savage's body fell off a cliff. In the end, he did not find out whether the savage was a human or a big monkey with hair. Almost all witnesses who had seen the savage insisted: "The savage is tall and strong, and his body is covered with slender black hair.
I heard from Yingzi that the wilderness ditch in Heifengkou was not called the Wild Man Gully, but was called "Dead Man Gully". When it was even older, it was not called the Dead Man Gully, but "Pangyue Gully". It was always the cemetery of the nobles of the Great Jin Kingdom. Later, the Mongolian army defeated the main force of the Jin soldiers at Heifengkou, and the corpses were piled up like mountains. The Mongolians threw all the dead into the ditches, and the entire valley was almost filled, so the locals called it "Dead Man Gully". Later, someone saw the savages near this valley, and the name of the Dead Man Gully was replaced by the Wild Man Gully.
There is nothing scary about savages. Can savages be as powerful as mastiffs? A thought suddenly appeared in my mind. Savages didn’t know what price they could sell in the market? But then I thought that it was not humane to do this, so it would be better not to make a living thing, and it would be true to focus on digging ancient tombs.
Because I was carrying horses, I could not climb mountains with too steep slopes, so I had to take a detour when I encountered mountains. The journey was particularly slow. Fortunately, the primeval forest in autumn had a gorgeous scenery, and the red and yellow leaves all over the mountains were dyed with all the forests, making people untiring to see. Occasionally, I saw a two-pheasant, hare, roe deer, tree squid, and Yingzi chased the dog to chase them. When I camped at night, I picked some grass and mushrooms and spices from the mountains, and ignited the campfire and barbecue. The fat man and I were all feasting. I have never eaten a double game these days.
When walking in this mountain, if we don’t bring hunting dogs, we can only sleep on trees. We brought three giant mastiffs and five big hunting dogs. This kind of power has almost no opponent in the forest, unless we meet more than three human bears. Yingzi said that the mastiff is the nemesis of human bears. When the human bears in the forest hear the mastiff’s chirping, they will immediately avoid them from afar. So we all slept in the tent at night. The faithful hunting dogs keep watch around the tents. There is nothing to worry about. These dogs are much more reliable than humans.
Yingzi's temper has been much more popular than when Yan Zi was younger. She was so angry that she would not let Xiao Chili go. She had to listen to her any route or what she would eat. Who told her to be the guide? Those dogs also listened to her. Although I am used to being the company commander, I can only endure it as an ordinary soldier.
However, Yingzi did have two tricks, hunting, finding ways, finding springs, identifying whether mushrooms in the mountains are poisonous, and how to find fungus, mushrooms, hazelnuts, persimmons, Codonopsis, Schisandra chinensis, etc. in the deep mountains, there is nothing she doesn't understand. Moreover, I can't name some animals in the mountains. I have never seen them in my life, but Yingzi can tell them, what kind of animal is this, what kind of environment is, what kind of food is used for, and what kind of traps can be captured alive. The fat man and I stared at each other with big eyes, and could only say two words: I was convinced.
The Oroqen people are all born hunters. The three words Oroqen are the official titles of this nation, and they are not very accurate. Sometimes they also call themselves "Erchun" or "Yolechun". They mean deer hunters wandering in the forests and mountains. They have been wandering in the forests of the Little Khingan Mountains for many years and live a life of nomadic fishing and hunting. When China was just liberated, there were less than a thousand people left in the Oroqen people. The government asked them to come out of the deep mountains and forests with a harsh living environment and live a settled life. However, the tribe members had an almost deified worship and yearning for the hunting life they lived in their ancestors. They believed in shamans and worship nature. Although they lived a settled life, they still had to go to the mountains to hunt regularly.
There is nothing to say along the way, but our book is brief. Everyone stayed overnight in the primeval forest for six or seven days, and finally arrived at the Black Wind Quay on the Sino-Mongolia border. The forest density of the Black Wind Quay is indescribable. There is almost no place to stand deep. It is full of red pine, larch, birch, poplar and other cold-resistant tree species. The dead branches and leaves on the ground are covered layer by layer, and they fall into a step. It is easy for people to deal with, but the horses have a great self-weight and often can't move. We have to use our strength to pull and pull, and just walk and push and move forward one after another.
I don’t know how many years have passed since the bottom, and the rotten branches and leaves and the wild beasts that are trapped inside emit a scent of rotten smell. This stench is mixed with the fragrance of red pine and wild flowers. It smells strange and not very pleasant, but it makes people feel a little addicted after smelling too much.
When we arrived at the Black Wind, the rest was mine. We found a valley, which should be the legendary Wildman Gully. There was nothing strange about the appearance here, not as fierce as the Lama Gully, but this was only intuitive. Yingzi said that there must be big smoke bubbles in the valley, so you must see it clearly before going down. If you fall into the big smoke bubbles, you can't get out. If you want to go down into the Wildman Gully, everyone must prepare a big wooden stick to explore the way. The fallen leaves below are too deep and are even better than the swamp. Fortunately, it is not rainy season now, otherwise you won't think about it.
Yerengou belongs to the remnant of the Daxinganling Mountains. The mountains on both sides are gentle. The direction of the entire valley is north-south, and hills on both sides of the east and west. The middle part is sunshine all year round, making it look dark and dark. The valley is filled with rotten leaves and weeds. Except for some low and sparse shrubs, no trees grow. The trees are even more sparse when the valley comes out. At this point, the primeval forest is more than two hundred miles ahead.
It was almost dusk, and the blood-red sunset hung in the sky. We climbed up the hillside and looked around. The red sun was about to fall, and the sky was full of large red clouds. The whole sky was as if it was dyed with thick oil paint. The mountains covered by forests and the endless grasslands in the distance became hazy in the field of view. It was like the sea and the setting sun was as bright as blood.
The fat man felt very happy when he saw this beautiful scenery: "Old Hu, this scenery is so beautiful, we won't come in vain."
What I care most about is the ancient tomb in the Wild Rendou. Compared with the "Sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", carefully looked at the terrain in the valley, took out the compass to identify the direction of the Bagua, and said in my heart: "Finally, he has found the right place. There must be an ancient tomb of nobles in this valley."
Yerengou, originally named "Bangyuegou", is stable and majestic, with a sense of aura. One end is the grassland and the other end is connected to the Greater Xing'an Mountains. The Outer Mongolia grassland is like a vast ocean, and the Pengyuegou is like a river flowing into the sea.
Although the Feng Shui style here is not enough to bury emperors, it is more than enough to bury a high-ranking official like a prince, a general, and a thousand households. When the moon is in the middle of the sky, the moonlight will point out the direction of the ancient tomb for us.
As the sky gradually became late, the sun gradually sank into the horizon in the west, and the forest was about to be swallowed by shadows. The reason why this place was once called "Pangyuegou" was because when the moon rose to the sky, she lay on her back in the deepest part of the valley to look up at the sky. The afterglow of the visual light would create an illusion that the highest hill on both sides was two huge arms, extending towards the bright moon in the sky. The dead in this cave took the essence of the sun and the moon. In my ancestral Feng Shui book, the word "Tian" is explained in detail. Although some of the literal content is not understood, it is not difficult to speculate that it is almost the same as the tenth.
If the Wild Man Ditch is not covered with dead leaves and rotten grass, you can directly find the middle position. However, only when the moon rises at night can you refer to the direction of the moon in the sky and go down to the deepest part of the valley to find the ancient tomb. The main reason is that our manpower is limited and we cannot have deviations when working, otherwise the project volume will be too large.
It is too early to get late at night. We tied the tent under a big tree on the hillside, tied the ponies to the tree, fed it the fodder, and lit a bonfire to cook. The game tonight was a little deer caught by the hunters. The deer looked a bit strange, with plum blossoms on its body, was not big, had uneven shape, had unusually thick hind legs, and had big ears without horns. It should be a female.
Seeing the hunting dogs dragging the monster deer, Yingzi hurriedly rushed forward and turned the deer over to inspect the abdomen of the dead deer. The blood stains on the monster deer's belly were bright. Yingzi spread the deer's mouth open again, as if looking for something, but finally couldn't find it. She was so angry that she kicked the deer hard, and scolded the big hunting dogs: "These bears are all day long, and they can't point to you. No one of you is allowed to eat today."
The fat man looked at him strangely and asked Yingzi: "Big girl, what are you looking for?"
Yingzi pulled out a sharp knife to peel the deer and answered the fat man's question: "Brother Fat, you have never seen this kind of animal. This is muskie. There is muskie in the navel of the mother muskie. Oh my god, it's always valuable, but this thing is so terrible. When you see someone trying to catch it, you bit off your navel first and chew it so hard. Mom is so slapping these dogs, these are so bears. They can get a piece of musk if they move faster."
After hearing this, the fat man sat down against a big tree, lowered his head and bent his back, and tried hard to his stomach.
I patted his head: "What are you fucking thinking? Do you think you are a deer, and you can reach your belly button with your mouth. Besides, your belly button is full of mud, which is worthless."
The fat man was anxious: "By Hu, my back is itchy. I rubbed it on the tree twice, and you want to bite your navel!"
After a few words, we tidied up and packed things separately. I went to pick up dry firewood, and the fat man went to help Yingzi barbecue. We only roasted one of the hind legs of the musk, which was enough to eat. The musk's internal organs were fed to those five big hunting dogs. Yingzi had a knife-shaped mouth beans. She said just now that she would not give these dogs supper, but now she was afraid that they would not eat enough.
The other three giant mastiffs were all squatting proudly in the distance, not looking at the ordinary hunting dogs who were snatching the stools of animals. Yingzi distributed the two front legs of musk to the two mastiffs, and one hind leg to the largest giant mastiff named Huzi.
Three people ate barbecue around the campfire. Yingzi gave each of us a knife and a small bowl made of salt rock. The deer legs were flipped over the fire and grilled them. They used the knife to slice them one by one, and they wiped them into the bowl and they had a salty taste. The meal was eaten very quickly. I only thought about the ancient tomb in the ditch, but I didn't eat any difference between the meat flavor of musk and ordinary venison.
After eating, the moon had risen. With the moonlight, you can see that the clouds in the sky flowed very quickly, which means that the wind was going to be strong at night. Seeing that the time was almost over, I left all the hunting dogs to guard the camp. The three of us went down into the wilderness ditch with wooden sticks and shotguns.
Every time we take a step forward, we must first use a wooden stick to see if there are any big smoke bubbles. The situation below the Wildman Ditch is much better than we had expected in advance. Although the fallen leaves in some places have lost their thighs, there is no big smoke bubble (the swamp formed by the dry leaves being soaked and rotten by rain). It seems that if you want to dig an ancient tomb, you have to clean up the fallen leaves covered on the tomb first.
I looked up at the moon in the sky, took out the compass comparison, looked around the sides of the valley, and finally determined the location. There may be many ancient tombs in this valley, but the most important one, also the most identifiable noble, his tomb is where we stand at our feet.
I put a wooden stick in it to mark it. I went back and had a good sleep today. I had enough energy to dig it tomorrow morning. There was no one else in this deep mountain forest, with a radius of hundreds of miles, so there was no need to work secretly at night.
While walking back, I told the fat man about tomb robbing. Since I have done this, I should know more about these things. I can't just dig foolishly. Since we entered the mountain, I kept telling him.
Since ancient times in China, the earliest recorded tomb robbery incident occurred about three thousand years ago. It was the Zhou Dynasty, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the Zhou Dynasty. During this period, the Zhou Dynasty was divided into the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou Dynasty. It was the dynasty that Fengmingqi Mountain, Jiang Taigong and others supported in the Fengshen Romance. It had a foundation of more than 800 years. In that era, two major tomb robbery incidents were recorded, one was the tomb of King You of Zhou and the other was the tomb of Shang Tang. Two lifelike corpses of young men and women were found in the tomb of King You of You, which scared the tomb robbers and turned their heads and ran away. A large turtle shell was dug out from the tomb of King You of Zhou, which was engraved with oracle bone inscriptions.
The fat man said, "Old Hu, don't talk to me about this. Just tell me if there are ghosts in the tomb? How can we deal with ghosts? And what ghosts you said last time blowing the lights? Why do I hear so evil? "
Yingzi said: "What the hell is blowing the light? Is it the smoke bubble ghost blowing the light that we mentioned in Northeast China?"
I said, "It's not the one from the Northeast, it's a superstitious behavior of the lieutenants. In fact, it's not useless. The air quality in the tomb chamber is not good. If the candle is not lit, people will definitely be poisoned and die of death when they enter. These can also be explained from a scientific point of view. Besides, how can there be ghosts in the ancient tomb? That's all superstitious legends. Even if we have them, we don't have to worry. I have prepared evil things like black donkey hoofs and glutinous rice. In short, don't believe in evil tombs. If you are afraid of ghosts, don't rob the tombs."
The fat man suddenly realized: "Oh, after a long time of trouble, you asked the swallow to prepare these things to ward off evil spirits. I thought you were so awesome that you were not afraid of ghosts. By the way, what are the vinegar and bird cages for?"
I was about to answer when I suddenly heard the barking of hunting dogs coming from the hillside. The three of them felt a sanctuary, thinking that some wild beasts were coming to attack our camp? But there were three giant mastiffs there. Even if they had eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard, they should not dare to cause trouble. What exactly caused the hunting dogs to bark? They hurriedly took two steps back to the hillside.
Back next to the tent, a bloody scene appeared in front of him. The pony tied to the tree was bitten by some beast. His whole stomach was broken and his intestines flowed all over the floor. Before he died, the pony fell to the ground and kept twitching, and he saw that he was not alive.
