"Song Qianjin, why don't you take pictures of these prophecy pictures? Maybe you can become famous internationally!"
Yue Guanchao saw that Song Siyuan was only looking at the murals and had not yet picked up the camera, so he looked at her and asked.
"These murals can last for thousands of years. They are probably the original prophecies of Yuan and Li. If I take these things out, it will only attract more people's attention. I don't know what kind of trouble I will cause by then, so why not just Leave them in the tomb, it’s better if some things don’t appear in the world, but once they appear in the world, it will definitely be a disaster for mankind.”
While they were talking, Xu Xiake opened the last layer of gauze curtain, revealing the statue of the Witch King inside. He saw the objects around the statue clearly, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face: "I seem to know, where have those imperial concubines gone?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone followed his gaze and looked towards the north wall. There was still a distance of five meters between the statue of the Witch King and the north wall, and there was obviously a Beijing Corpse Tower standing behind him!
This corpse pagoda is about three stories high. The thickness of the house gradually widens from top to bottom, forming a curved arc, just like the pagoda of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. On the pagoda, circular niches are cut out every half meter on the four sides. , it is full of human corpses, hands, feet, arms, heads, and intestines, they are all stretched outwards, mixed with animal mummies, carrion, and soil to fill the pagoda extremely full, coupled with random weeds and The moss makes one's back feel cold.
Even if you don't get close, you can still smell the rotten smell of old meat, as if there is a dead rat next to your mouth, and the smell is inaudible.
"What is this corpse tower?"
Everyone carefully observed the corpse tower behind the statue. Most of these corpses had turned into dried prune-like mummies. Only the animal corpses were still moist. The clothes on the corpses ranged from ancient times to modern times. It can be seen that they did not die at the same time. With the patterns on the ancient clothes, , and nameplates stuck everywhere, they could tell at a glance that the body contained a concubine who served in court in the late Tang Dynasty.
"Jingguan!"
Yue Qingshan looked at the corpse tower, his eyes became serious!
"Second uncle, what is Jingguan?"
The old man sighed and explained the meaning of Jingguan to these children!
Jing, in ancient Chinese, means high hill, and Jingguan is a spectacular high hill. It’s just that the material for casting the high hill is not bricks and rubble but bones!
The wars of the ancients were very cruel. In order to show off their achievements or to intimidate the remaining opponents, the victorious party would kill all the surrendered enemies, then cut off the heads of many dead corpses, dismember the bodies, and use wet soil to reinforce them into tall structures. The huge wall of the tower is used as a giant tomb. This kind of thing is called Jingguan.
There are always winners and losers in wars, but not all victors will be cast into Jingguan. There have been hundreds of thousands of wars since ancient times, and there are only seventy or eighty records of Jingguan at most.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu-Jin Dynasty fought a great battle. After the victory, in order to intimidate other vassal states, the Chu State cast the corpses of the Jin dynasty generals into a terrifying human wall. This battle established the Chu State's dominance and called it the other vassal states. Don’t dare to cross the border for ten years!
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army was in rebellion. After Huangfu Song led his troops to suppress the rebellion, in order to show off his achievements, he cut off the heads of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army corpses to build a landscape, which stood like a giant mountain outside the capital, calling everyone The people felt cold in their hearts after seeing this, and no longer dared to rebel.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xia Kingdom invaded the Guanzhong area, filled a huge pit with the corpses of Eastern Jin generals, and piled them into a tower-like structure. It can be seen that tens of thousands of skull heads were embedded in the mound. People at the time called it the Skeleton Platform.
During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty tried to defeat Goguryeo three times, but all three times ended in failure. In order to humiliate him, Goguryeo cast the corpses of Sui army generals as Jingguan. It was not until Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty that they completely defeated Goguryeo, and then they made the Sui army's Jingguan. It was destroyed, and many fallen soldiers were allowed to rest in their graves, and their leaves fell to their roots. At the same time, in order to retaliate against Goguryeo, tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers were executed, and tit for tat was cast as the capital of Beijing!
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Liao State and the warlord Shi Jingtang jointly sent troops to eliminate the Later Tang Dynasty, and then executed all the Later Tang royal family. Their bodies were buried along with the Tang army generals on both sides of the Fen River, and a Jingguan along the river was built.
It can be said that whenever the enemy's corpse can be made into a Jingguan, it usually has past events, grievances, and grudges besides the factors of victory and defeat. It is an invention on the battlefield, and the purpose is only for revenge and shock.
Everyone felt frightened and short of breath after hearing what Yue Qingshan said. If the purpose of building the Jingguan was to intimidate and retaliate, then who built the Jingguan in front of them? What is the purpose of these imperial concubines being cast as imperial palaces?
All these questions made them feel guilty, and even the feeling of horror and fear had subsided, leaving only indescribable panic. Not to mention the corpses of these imperial concubines, just the fresh corpses of animals are enough to show that this Beijing has always been There are corpses added to it.
That means that the thing hiding in the dark may not have gone far at all!
"Children, these animal carcasses are new. It shows that the thing is still nearby. We have to think about how to deal with it. If it is a wild animal, it is okay. If it is a zombie, then we will be in trouble."
While breathing, Yue Qingshan was so worried that he was covered in cold sweat.
"Everyone, be careful, we have to get out of here!"
