Cat Gu Notes

Chapter 25

, or Xia Mingruo broke free on his own, bloody rubbing off a large piece of skin on his elbow.

"Huh—huh—" Xia Mingruo gasped for mourning over his skin, and then defended himself, "Although I deserve it, the method is correct, and I have touched the latch."

The old man said: "Even you can't get in, so maybe you need to find a child?"

"Child?" Xia Mingruo's eyes lit up, "That's right! Go and find the leftover!"

Liu Gouxun was born to watch the excitement, and at this time he was rushing to the front line of spectators.

Chu Haiyang went out to take him, thinking that he would be afraid as a child, but he found that this guy felt more honorable than joining the army, and ran away arrogantly, rushing to the tomb and shouting loudly: "Little Brother Xia—! I'm coming—! I'm coming—!"

Xia Mingruo followed suit and said, "Folks, the Red Army is coming."

The kid from the Red Army rushed up to him and asked, "Brother Xia, what do you want me to do?"

Xia Mingruo saw that he was shirtless, and he was wearing a pair of shorts sewn with fertilizer bags underneath, with "Japan" written on the front and "urea" on the back, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's so tasteful."

The kid said stupidly: "Huh?" The old man pulled him aside.

"Unlock? I will!" Liu Gousheng said, "Grandpa, don't worry!"

As he spoke, he stretched his arms into the small hole, groped his face against the stone door for a long time, yelled "it's a bit heavy", then clenched his teeth, and pushed the door latch open with a click.

Everyone held their breath and quietly pried open the door, and through the dim light, they saw the huge stone coffin against the back wall.Xia Mingruo hastily told a lie and dragged Liu Gousheng out.

The stone coffin is composed of more than 20 blue rock slabs of about the same size. The slabs are less than 2 centimeters thick.Chu Haiyang and Captain Zhou measured it, and reported that it was 2.70 meters long, 1.20 meters wide, and 1.70 meters high.

The stone coffin weighed dozens of tons, so it was definitely impossible to transport it out completely. Several strong archaeologists were ordered to bring tools down to disassemble the stone coffin before transporting it.

Inside the sarcophagus is the sarcophagus, which is also made into a cuboid, solemn and thick.But the strange thing is that such a well-crafted coffin has no decoration or carving on the outside, which is really puzzling.

On the contrary, there are two life-sized figurines of warriors in armor standing behind the coffin. One is holding a long halberd and the other is carrying a sword. They have dark faces and fierce expressions, which are a bit scary at first glance.

The old man couldn't help talking to himself: "Sarcophagi are used by the royal family or those who establish meritorious service... yes, but this is the prince?"

There is another robbery hole exit on the ground, Xia Mingruo chuckled lightly: "The cunning rabbit has three caves."

The uncle looked at the left and right walls purely again.

There are small niches on the walls on both sides of the back room, which are hidden in the darkness. When the flashlight flashed, he saw that there seemed to be offerings inside. Captain Zhou approached and took a look, and took a few steps back in fright: "This ……What's this?"

Everyone also hurriedly gathered around.

"Eh? This is..." The old man leaned closer and rubbed his eyes, "...Long live forever?"

"Sui Shu" Volume 69, "Wang Shao Biography":

"At that time (that is, during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty), someone bathed in Huangfengquan and got two white stones, which were quite literary...the big jade had the sun, the moon and stars,...but it was not as good as the two birds, and the birds all had human faces. The so-called (Long Live Qianqiu) also."

The third volume of the inner chapter of Ge Hong's "Baopuzi" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty:

"A thousand-year-old bird, a long-lived bird, both have a human face and a bird body, and their longevity is just like the name."

……

The old man's face instantly changed color.

He ordered solemnly: "Comrades, move quickly and return to the ground. Don't take the iron tools with you. Put them down gently, so as not to splash sparks."

The team members froze on the spot, and the old man was anxious: "Hurry up!"

Chu Haiyang reacted: "Listen to the teacher and go up."

"Hang Hai and Mingruo stay," the old man urged, "The rest, hurry up!"

The archaeologists immediately dropped their tools and quickly withdrew without saying a word. Captain Zhou watched the last person step out of the corridor and decided to stay.He looked at the old man and found that there were big beads of sweat on the latter's forehead.

"Don't ask why now, go back to the front room." The old man's voice was still calm, "If you have matches and other flammable items on your body, put them in the ground immediately. Old Zhou, go up and watch the switch, don't trip it."

Captain Zhou agreed and ran out. The old man called him again: "If the switch trips, keep the lights dimmed, and don't turn them on manually."

"Hey!" Old Captain Zhou rushed back to the grave.

"...Okay", the old man seemed to be vaguely relieved, "Let's go."

Xia Mingruo asked: "What's wrong?"

"Don't dawdle, get out quickly, go to the entrance of the tomb first," the old man grabbed a person beside him, quickened his pace, and asked after two steps, "What are those two green lights in front?"

"Old Huang's eyes." Xia Mingruo couldn't help turning his head, "Teacher, there is something reflecting light in the back room. It looks quite bright from my angle."

"Hmm." The old man said vaguely.

Chu Haiyang caught up and helped the old man: "Teacher, is it okay to hang the lamp on the top of the tomb?"

"It's fine if you don't move it." The old man stopped when he walked to the door of the tomb, looked to the side, and found that he was holding on to the uncle.

The uncle said: "You are really a veteran."

The old man laughed loudly: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm timid when I'm old. I'm laughing at you."

"Where," the uncle was very polite to the old man, "just call me Li Yiji."

"Oh, Mr. Li," the old man stood still, "there are no outsiders, let's open the skylight and tell the truth, have you been in this Sui tomb?"

The uncle replied without thinking, "Huh? No, where did the professor get the news?"

"Oh," said the old man, rubbing his head, "it must be someone else who went out as soon as he came in, so he didn't move at all."

"why?"

"Naturally, they have seen 'Long live forever' just like us." The old man slowed down his voice, "In conclusion, their lineage is thousands of years earlier than ours, and we naturally dare not neglect what they are afraid of. Li Sir, Long Live Qianqiu is really a wicked thing."

The uncle laughed (dead old man, put me in words...).

"Uncle Yiji, why is it evil?" Xia Mingruo asked innocently, tilting his head.

The uncle laughed again (a dead child is not a good thing...).

He immediately became sincere: "The professor is profound, please ask the professor."

The old man thought for a while: "Then I'll start with "Baopuzi"."

"Baopuzi" is a well-known saying of the immortals. It is divided into inner and outer parts. The theory of the outer part is close to Confucianism; through.

In 1937, the Japanese invaded China in an all-round way. In order to preserve the lifeline of national education, the two major universities in Peking and Nankai University took the lead in moving their schools to the south. With "Fortitude and Perseverance" as the school motto, they sang "a thousand years of shame, and it will eventually be snow" and "to be expelled" "Chou Kou restores Shenjing, returns Yanjie", traveling across mountains and rivers, traveling thousands of miles, first to Changsha, and then to Kunming.

The young Li Changsheng and several of his teachers and classmates fell behind the main force because they were escorting the property of the Archeology Department. When they passed through the Huguang area, they were traveling in the wild and heard a strange thing.

The ancient tomb in the mountain suddenly caught fire by itself.

It is said that the villager who passed on the message saw it with his own eyes, and he said vividly: "Here! Here! That's over there! I'm on the ground, and I can see the smoke from a distance!"

When this man saw green smoke rising from the ancestral grave, no matter whose family he belonged to, he kowtowed to the ground.

After knocking dozens of times, I felt that something was wrong, the smoke was too much, and I waited and watched for a while, and the ancestral grave burst into flames.

It's terrifying!

So continue to kowtow.First pray for a long life for his old mother, then for myself and my wife, and then for sons, daughters, pigs, cows, sheep, cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits... After two or three hours of muttering, the tomb was finally burned.

The next day, their old hen laid an extra egg, oh my god, it was so clever.

A group of people couldn't laugh or cry, Li Changsheng waited for a few good things to happen, and took advantage of everyone's rest to go to the place mentioned by the villagers to see, and found that the fire was really severe, the ground was scorched yellow, and the grass and trees in a radius of several meters were all carbonized. After poking it a few times, the ground collapsed as a whole.

Just when I was amazed, a voice suddenly said: "...the gates of heaven and earth are closed?"

Only then did everyone realize that there was one more person in the team, a very laid-back old man.

"Old man, what did you just say?"

The refugee-like old man replied: "I'm saying 'Long live forever'."

"What's that?" the students asked him.

"Tomb God." The old man didn't want to say more, and turned to leave.

The soldier hurriedly held him back and winked at Li Changsheng. Li Changsheng suddenly realized that he groped up and down and found that he didn't have a dime on him.The old man hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand to take it: "I am ashamed to accept it, thank you."

He squeezed the matchbox tightly, sighed and said to Li Changsheng: "Bring this kind of thing, once you see 'Long Live Qianqiu', you will definitely die."

"Why?" Xia Mingruo asked.

"Because the 'Grave God' like 'Long Live Qianqiu' has a lot to do with fire." The old man said, "The old man we met had robbed graves for generations, and his uncle is said to have died at the hands of 'Long Live Qianqiu'. "

During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the old man's uncle took his father into a tomb of the Southern Dynasty. Everything went smoothly, but two strange clay birds were found on the side of the coffin. They were about a foot high. The other is a man with a bird face
