Cat Gu Notes

Yang said, "I'm pulling your clothes, run!"

"My fucking wound must be infected!" Xia Mingruo fell again, got up and continued running, grinning his teeth, "Maybe my bones are broken!"

The uncle braked suddenly: "Stop!"

Chu Haiyang and Xia Mingruo bumped into him together.

The uncle said: "From here on, you can't run anymore."

Chu Haiyang asked, "Why? Can you see things in the dark?"

"Of course not," the uncle rustled for a while, then lit a match, "It's okay, it's almost wet."

"Because I have stepped here a little bit, and I ran up from the bottom of the flat river for a total of 180 and 187 steps, and I reached [-] steps," said the uncle. "Using the jargon of our two families, we have reached the end of the tomb passage."

tomb passage.

The tomb passage means that although there is a hanging coffin on the top of the Niangniang Tomb, it is not a hanging coffin itself, but a huge stone tomb dug out of the mountain, with a tomb passage, a corridor, a main room, and hopefully a coffin.

Chu Haiyang was excited, and Xia Mingruo was also excited. The uncle felt that he was okay because he had been excited last time.

"Just hide here, I know those people, they are all desperadoes." The uncle said.

"You also do research on ancient tombs?" Xia Mingruo asked.

"No," the uncle said contemptuously while lighting a candle, "They are all robbers, without quality, morality, and civilization!"

The flame crackled softly in the humid air, and the uncle said, "The last three are fortunately hidden in the crotch..."

He asked Chu Haiyang, "Do you still have a flashlight?"

Chu Haiyang shook his head.

He looked at Xia Mingruo again, and Xia Mingruo said, "Don't count on me, I even lost my shoes."

The uncle gave a thumbs up and said, "Hero."

Xia Mingruo said modestly, "Where."

"Heaving a mountain into a mausoleum is a big deal." Chu Haiyang walked over them to the tomb.

"It's pretty well designed," said the uncle. "Generally speaking, you can only go to the entrance of the waterfall, because there are two streams of water flowing into it. Once you pass the waterfall, the water will be very powerful and there will be no way. In fact, the entrance is at the waterfall." But if you walk down from above, you have to swim a few meters to find it. Well, of course, you may not be able to find it if you swim, there is a problem with the angle, and besides, there is a stone at the entrance of the tomb that blocks the view."

"But I swam up from below, so I found it." The uncle scratched his head suddenly annoyed and said, "I also have scars on my eyes and didn't see the cave on the mountain, otherwise I wouldn't swim if I was killed, and I almost drowned My old man."

The tomb is quite regular, divided into front and back rooms, the front room is small and empty; the back room is about five meters long and wide, and Chu Haiyang can reach the top of the tomb with his hand: "Two meters, two or three, no more, yo, what is that?"

The uncle held up the candle, and at the end of the tomb was a huge blue sarcophagus.

"Ma'am," Xia Mingruo said, "It's so kind to see you."

He was just about to go in but was suddenly stopped by the uncle: "Wait! Look at the things on the wall first, that's why I didn't open the coffin last time."

He didn't say that he didn't know, but when he said that, the two people discovered that there were petroglyphs on the front wall.This time the paintings are not villains, cows, or hunting and fighting, but monsters, tomb-slayers.

With two heads, two bodies, red flames as horns, blue flames as eyebrows, squatting like a lion, staring at you coldly with its protruding eyes, baring its teeth, sticking out its tongue, clasping its sharp claws, as if It only needs a slight movement to be exchanged for its ruthless devouring... Of course, in the eyes of some people, it is full of the fierce beauty of an ancient civilization.

The uncle said kindly: "Comrades, please save candles. Have you finished your research? Not that."

The two men squinted their eyes and continued to search, and finally saw a line of vague inscriptions on the wall above the sarcophagus.

"Damn it, it's still Chinese characters," Xia Mingruo read, "Whoever opens it dies."

The uncle nodded gravely.

Chu Haiyang leaned over and said, "It's just an anti-theft spell, a deterrent to grave robbers. Hey, don't believe it, what Teacher Qian said last time..."

"Anyone who dares to send my grave will have no family," Xia Mingruo said, "Whoever digs my grave will have no descendants."

"Everyone is very strict," Chu Haiyang turned his head and smiled at the uncle, "I don't think someone with a moral character like uncle should be afraid."

"He's afraid of a ghost." Xia Mingruo also laughed, "The lid of the coffin is too heavy to be opened by one person."

"Cough..." Uncle touched his nose, "Actually, our business has strict rules and a lot of taboos. It is said that if you walk too much at night, you are afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and elegant thieves like me..."

"Uncle, don't explain." Chu Haiyang waved his hand, turned his head to look at the inscription, "It's strange, it's obviously a tomb of a minority, and the ancient Dian Kingdom also did this? Could it be some kind of empress of the Han Dynasty?"

The three were silent for a while, and the tomb was even more gloomy in the flickering candlelight.

"Ah!" Xia Mingruo made a big discovery, and wiped off the mud on the coffin lid, "Look!"

There are also engravings on the lid of the coffin, all of which are filled with cinnabar after being carved. Although it has been thousands of years, the color is still unabated.

Chu Haiyang took the candle from the uncle, held it close and said silently:

Living people go up to Yang, dead people go down to Yin;

The living go up to the high platform, and the dead hide themselves deep.

The sky is blue, the earth is vast,

The dead return to Yin, the living return to Yang,

The living have a li, the dead have a town,

Birth belongs to Chang'an, death belongs to Mount Tai,

Life and death are in different places and should not interfere with each other.

Like a law!

"The town tomb inscriptions of the Han Dynasty are from the early and middle Western Han Dynasty," Chu Haiyang said. "Similar ones have been unearthed in Shaanxi, and the calligraphy style is also very similar."

He wiped it as he read it, and when he read it, he burst out laughing and said, "No wonder, the masterpiece of the county magistrate. Yizhou Mu, called... Guo Xie."

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou County was established in Yunnan.

"Open the coffin?" Chu Haiyang asked the uncle.

The uncle said: "Nonsense, I am looking for you to help, of course I have to drive."

Xia Mingruo put on airs and said with a smirk: "No way, if we open it, we will make mistakes. The report hasn't been filed yet, and we have to wait for the first approval."

The uncle said: "Here! Look at how enlightened you are! The tomb robbers are right in front of you and you are shirking your responsibility. Don't run away and scold us in the newspaper."

Chu Haiyang laughed. It would be a lie to say that he was not curious. He fixed the candle on the ground and called the other two to try to push the coffin lid.

"One, two! Very heavy," he rolled up his sleeves and continued, "Uncle, do you know the meaning of those tomb-suppressing inscriptions and tomb-suppressing beasts just now?"

The uncle is gritting his teeth and using force: "Customs."

"Yes, the customs of the Han Dynasty," Chu Haiyang said, "but it explains one thing from the side, this empress..."

The uncle stopped pushing all of a sudden, but made a hissing gesture, listened carefully, and then sat down on the ground listlessly: "The ghost is still there!"

Chu Haiyang and Xia Mingruo looked at each other, shrugged and sat down.

Footsteps sounded on the tomb passage, and the roar of the leopard was close to my ears: "Old Bandit Li!"

The uncle replied lazily: "Hey——"

Xia Mingruo squatted beside him and asked, "Aren't we going to find a place to hide?"

"Where are you hiding?" the uncle spat fiercely at the grave. "It's unlucky to be arrested three times in one day! The old man must change his career when he goes back!"

Xia Mingruo comforted, "It's not that we are incompetent, it's that the bandits are too cunning."

The leopard ran in "thump, thump, thump," and kicked the uncle, scaring him and Xia Mingruo to run around the tomb. (At this time, Lao Huang was also chasing a big gray mouse all over the place.)

"Damn it!" Leopard pulled the breech, "I'll kill you old fox!"

"If you kill him, you won't be able to get out." Chu Haiyang was jumping on the coffin lid, holding a candle and saying coldly.

Leopard was stunned and looked at him, the two confronted each other quietly, finally Leopard was defeated and turned his head to look around the tomb.

"So small?" He yelled very dissatisfied, "Where's the baby?"

Uncle and Xia Mingruo whispered: "You see, he is a typical non-professional..."

The gloomy thin man squinted dead fish eyes at them, and the two stared back unceremoniously. The thin man raised the gun, and the two immediately put their hands behind their heads.

"Open the coffin!" Leopard said to Chu Haiyang.

Chu Haiyang shrugged: "Where are the tools? I need picks, iron awls, hammers, and levers."

The leopard poked its neck and said, "Where do I have it?"

Chu Haiyang was also angry: "What kind of tomb are you robbing without you?!"

The thin man smoothed things over and said, "I have a field knife, I'll use it first."

Leopard said: "Don't give it to him!"

Chu Haiyang said viciously: "Don't believe me, come to help! You all stand by my side, I call one or two, and push the coffin lid hard together! Try first and then talk!"

The uncle and the thin man complied, and Leopard felt that he had been contradicted and was about to get angry on the spot.

Chu Haiyang pointed to his nose and said, "Don't talk nonsense to me, just go if you don't understand."

Xia Mingruo chuckled and said, "Old Comrade Bao, let me popularize some scientific knowledge for you. The lid of the coffin is made of stone, and the body of the coffin is also made of stone. For thousands of years, stone molecules have been constantly moving and freely diffusing, so the relationship between the two The seams have probably grown together. Get it? Molecules."

Leopard said: "You lied!"

Xia Biexin said: "Why am I lying to you? You people just don't understand science. For example, giving birth to a child. Such a simple thing is so complicated. In fact, as long as two people lie on the same side and jump around, they can give birth. For example , Look at the members of Chu Haiyang..."

Chu Haiyang shouted, "Don't believe Xia!"

Xia Mingruo shrank his neck and stood aside.

The leopard swallowed heavily and joined the team pushing the lid of the coffin, but no matter how hard he pushed it, he remained motionless.

"There is a problem with the method," the uncle asked, "You two should take out the knife."

Chu Haiyang said: "Sharp objects with a relatively hard texture are also acceptable."

The leopard and the thin man searched themselves from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet, and reluctantly threw out several large and small knives.

The uncle held the knife and aimed the pointed end at the sarcophagus
