The little brother entered the tomb, lit the fire and looked around, and found that this ancient tomb was very unusual and gave people a very absurd feeling.
The stone slab under the feet turned out to be a mural carving of Jiutian Xuannv, but the top of the tomb was just a row of uneven blue bricks, and there was nothing else.
The little brother carefully walked around the tomb and found that many things hanging upside down on the top of the tomb were all burial objects that could only be seen on the floor of the tomb in the past. It suddenly dawned on him that the entire tomb was actually upside down. !
It turned out that the place they had worked so hard to dig was not the top of the tomb, but the bottom of the tomb. The structure and layout of the entire tomb was completely reversed.
The little brother saw a big thing hanging upside down at the bottom of the tomb, and there were many burial utensils hanging around it. He walked over, raised the fire fold and looked up, and found that it turned out to be a human body attached to the bottom of the tomb. coffin.
The younger brother told a few people waiting outside what he had discovered, and they all didn't believe it when they heard it.
However, when the younger brother expanded the hole and they all climbed in, they were all stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
Some people asked whether it was because the earthquake turned the tomb upside down.
Zhang Haike shook his head and said no, "If it was an earthquake, even if the coffin was flipped up during the turning of the cave, it would soon fall down and shatter with other burial vessels, and even the entire top of the tomb would collapse into rubble. , instead of hanging directly on it like now. It is obvious that the people who built this place deliberately built this pattern."
"Could it be related to Feng Shui? The placement of this tomb in this way clearly means that the original sky is regarded as the earth, and the earth is regarded as the sky." Another child of the Zhang family said.
Zhang Haike thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "I have seen similar records in an ancient book. The overall mountain shape in this area grows inwards, not towards the sky. Feng Shui masters may be trying to adapt to it. The shape of the mountains here meant that the tomb had to be built like this.”
After listening to it, others felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
At this time, the little brother suddenly said: "The top of the mountain range is pointing toward the sky, and the bottom is toward the ground. Even the underground mountains are like this. Because of the mountain subsidence, this mountain range and the ancient tombs will sink to the bottom together. Down deep."
After everyone thought about it, they felt that what he said made sense. When the ancient tomb was first built, the rocks at the bottom of the mountain were arched out of the ground. In this way, it could easily be thought of as a relatively gentle rock mountain with the bottom of the mountain facing downwards. The growing peaks are like the roots of human teeth, embedded in the soil.
The traditional ground-breaking method of opening the top of an ancient tomb, digging a pit first, and then building the tomb chamber obviously does not apply here, unless they have capable people and strangers who can uproot the entire mountain by moving mountains and filling the sea.
Otherwise, you can only dig in from the side, just like digging a robbery hole, and get in to repair it.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this place was evil, and some people wanted to back out. However, when they mentioned this, everyone felt extremely reluctant to give up when they thought of all the hardships they had gone through.
The most important thing is that they don't have enough time to find another ancient tomb that is enough for them to communicate.
"Let's go!" one of them said, "Successful kings or defeated bandits, we are willing to admit defeat. We have practiced the skills countless times at home and have long been familiar with them. It is just an upside-down ancient tomb. At worst, we will also fall." Just pick it up."
Although that is said, if you use the normal steps to lift the coffin from the top, the risk is too high. Once the coffin lid is cracked, the gravity will be out of balance, and the body fluids and other contents inside, whether poisonous or not, will leak out from the opening. come out.
After some discussion, they decided to let Zhang Haike, the most skilled man, step on the stacked ladder and hang it up. He first made a hole in the coffin wall to see what was going on inside before considering anything else.
This operation was not difficult. After Zhang Haike went up, he inserted the awl first by the feeling of his fingers, then tied the end of the awl with a rope, jumped down and found a safe corner of the tomb.
Seeing that everyone was hiding, Zhang Haike picked up half a brick from the ground, aimed at the awl and threw it, slamming the awl into the coffin wall. Finally, he pulled the rope hard and pulled the awl out.
I thought there would be corpse water spraying out from inside, but I didn't expect that a thick black smoke came out. It seemed that the dust and rotten and moldy things accumulated inside were disturbed and sprayed out.
It only sprayed for a short while, and soon the tomb returned to its previous tranquility.
Several people covered their mouths and noses with wet clothes and looked at each other.
"It looks like there shouldn't be a big problem." Zhang Haike took the lead and walked to the bottom of the coffin. "It's dry inside. I'll go up and take a look first. If there's no problem, I'll just remove the nails."
Everyone agreed and sent Zhang Haike up in the same way as before.
Zhang Haike lay beside the coffin and carefully looked inside. He was heartbroken when he saw that the entire coffin was filled with a very fine black dust.
Dust is more difficult to deal with than water. With water, they can slowly drain it away, but once all the fluffy dust is released, the entire tomb will be covered. If the dust is toxic or corrosive, they will have no place to hide. Go hide.
When they were at a loss, a child suddenly said hello and asked them to look at a particularly strange thing at the corner of the tomb, not far behind the coffin. From a distance, it looked like a statue of some kind of beast.
It is not surprising that animal statues appear in the tomb. What is strange is that when everything in the tomb is hanging upside down like the coffin, this statue is the only one placed squarely on the floor in the center of the tomb. It's hard not to be suspicious.
The ancestral motto of the Zhang family said: If everything is strange, it is not called strange. The real strangeness must be that there are different things in common phenomena. No matter whether you can understand these common phenomena or not, this kind of strangeness is aimed at everything around you.
And this strange thing is the only contradiction in the universal phenomenon.
The discovery of this contradiction is also the opportunity for many things. If this is a conspiracy, this contradiction will often expose many things hidden behind it.
As soon as Zhang Haike looked at that thing, he knew that it must be the key to the entire tomb.
Several people spread out and slowly approached the thing from several directions. When they got closer, they discovered that the thing was a bronze horse hidden in the darkness.
The bronze horse was only about half a man tall, and its entire body was black. Its surface was covered with raised spiral rivets, which were so densely packed that it looked as if the horse had some kind of circle skin disease. (End of chapter)
