Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

"Eat less, you have to work later!"

Bean Sprouts sloppyly swallowed the instant noodles with chopsticks. He wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Manual work! I can't do it if I'm not full!"

"Damn it, you ate almost all of this pot!"

I was just about to continue training Bean Sprouts when Brother Yu suddenly slapped his chopsticks on the table with a bang!Others also opened the door in an instant and rushed out.

I don't know why, so I hurriedly chased them out.

"What's the matter, Brother Yu?" I followed him out and asked him.

I found that Brother Yu's head still reflected light at night, I saw him frowning, looked around in confusion and said, "It's strange...I always feel that someone is secretly watching our every move."

At this time, Bean Sprout came out of the house with a big bowl, he looked around, took a sip of instant noodle soup before saying: "Brother Yu, you have done this several times, there is no one else here except us. "

At this point I closed my eyes and moved my ears back and forth.

Within a hundred meters, all I could hear was the rustling of the wind blowing through the grass and leaves.

Brother Yu turned his head and said, "Yunfeng, it's very strange. Not long ago, since you and Xiaoxuan left, I could always hear someone's footsteps in the middle of the night."

"Then why didn't I hear it?" Bean Sprouts said.

Brother Yu complained: "Every time you sleep like a pig, you can't hear thunder."

Bean Sprout has a personality of two hundred and five, he doesn't care about anything, but I remembered Brother Yu's words, and I thought: "Could it be that a villager in Miao Village wants to ask us for something?" There have been more than one such situation, the Miao people came to ask us for cigarettes and food, and some even wanted to steal from us.

After 11 o'clock, the three of us greeted the boss and went out with tools and flashlights. Xiaoxuan was arguing and wanted to go, but the three of us didn't bring him. This is a small job, so many people are needed .

Miao burials are the mainstream. In addition, soft burials, cave burials, cliff burials, tree burials, wind burials and water burials are also popular. The only thing that is not very popular is cremation. The Hundred People’s Pit mentioned by Bean Sprouts is likely to be from the ancient Tang and Song dynasties. Concentrated burial pits of Miao people.

People here used to be generally poor, but there must have been a few rich people. Our goal is to be able to buy some silver jewelry gadgets from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

After walking in the mountains for an hour and a half in the middle of the night, Bean Sprout suddenly pointed to a ravine overgrown with weeds and said, "See? It's right under there!"

I took a look, frowned and said, "The feng shui in this place is so bad, the old Miao people didn't even look at feng shui before."

In my opinion, this small mountain ditch is a typical "three no lands".

In terms of Fengshui, weeds are overgrown, the terrain is subsidence, the two ends are raised, the earth and rocks are exposed, the wind is not contained, the water is not hidden, and the light is not seen. If the ancestors are buried here, the descendants will definitely not be rich.

The only benefit of this small valley is the so-called "Yin Gathering".

I observed carefully. The cliffs on both sides of this ravine are not vertical and horizontal. In this way, even if the sun rises above the head at ten o’clock in the noon, the sunlight will not reach the bottom of the ravine. Don’t think about it, the environment must be very dark and humid. .

"call....."

After flicking the cigarette butt, I waved and said, "Go, go down and have a look!"

Going down to the bottom of the ditch with a flashlight, Bean Sprouts immediately said, "Grass, it wasn't so cold last time I came here? Why is it so cold? I'm getting goosebumps from the cold."

Brother Yu smiled and said, "Yazai, last time you came here you wore long sleeves, this time you wore short sleeves, it's strange if it's not cold."

I held up my flashlight and looked here.

They are all small graves, all overgrown with grass, almost next to each other.

Some of the tombs had remnants of steles standing in front of them, most of them had no steles, and the few tombs with steles had traces of fire on the ground.

In addition, I noticed that there are a lot of rotten cloth strips hanging on the crooked neck trees here. The cloth strips are mainly black, with a small amount of white.

"Fengzi, tell me, where to start."

I said: "One way, this thing is purely luck, that's it."

I casually pointed to a deserted tomb with a stele. After all, there was a stele, so the owner's status may have been higher during his lifetime.

There are inscriptions on the remnant stele, but the writing is like tadpole script, and I can't understand what is written.Bean Sprout Zai took a deep breath, picked up the shovel first and started digging the soil, followed by Brother Yu and I.

The loess was thrown onto the open space with a shovel, and we dug a big hole in a short while.

"Wait first!"

"What's wrong? You scared me, Fengzi."

Holding the shovel, I whispered, "Damn it, why is there a coffin?"

"This is a grave! Isn't it normal to have a coffin?" Bean Sprout said.

Now a big hole was dug, and the three of us stood in the hole, and a dark brown rotten coffin was exposed under my feet.

Bean sprouts don't understand, this is not normal, even abnormal!

First of all, this is a single-cavity earth pit tomb. There is no such standard as the tomb bricks for the tomb passage. Generally speaking, if you find the right spot and dig directly, you can see the bones and scattered daily necessities for burial, such as clay pots and broken bowls. Pots and the like are buried directly in the soil.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, almost no coffins were used in the burials of ethnic minorities in Southwest China. Most of them simply rolled up the corpses with a straw mat, and tied several layers of mats with ropes. ", some people call it "yellow rice dumpling".

I thought I would dig a rotten straw mat, but now I saw a rotten coffin, so I said it was abnormal!But even if it's abnormal, we still have to open the coffin to see, we can't go back empty-handed.

As soon as the coffin board was pried, suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky!

Then came lightning and thunder!Lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating our faces.

"Hurry up! We have to backfill later! Damn, I didn't check the weather forecast when I came out! It's going to rain!" I urged.

After prying open the coffin board, I squatted down and took a photo with the flashlight, and I was immediately taken aback!

What's this?

There was a strange layer of "white hair" growing inside the coffin. Under the white hair, there were piles of bones!

That look is not a human bone!Like the bones of various animals!One layer of bones is pressed against another, densely packed!

After looking carefully, I found that the white hair on the top seems to be some kind of mycelium.

"Coffin fungus?"

I wondered, "Why the hell are there white coffin fungi?"

Generally, this kind of coffin fungus is more common in the tombs of the Qing Dynasty in the north, and it is not a trace of this kind, it is yellowish brown, and it is the kind that grows on the coffin board to form a large piece.

How to put it in front of me, it is a bit like the silk spit out by silkworms, almost covering the entire inner space of the coffin.

Bean sprouts wanted to reach out, but I hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't touch it yet, I don't know what it is." I said.

I took out the lighter and lit it, and there was a bang!This strange coffin fungus burned a large area in an instant, and there was a faint burnt smell around the frown.

I picked it up with a stick, took some of this thing and put it in a plastic bag, and I was going to go back and ask the well-informed man what the hell this thing is.

Suddenly felt a cold forehead.

It started to rain.

At the moment, we speed up, pick up the mycelia, and then use the shovel to pull the pile of animal bones to see if we can find any valuable burial objects.

I bit the flashlight and pulled it twice, and suddenly I saw a pale and swollen human face exposed from under the bones!

Terrified.

It took half a minute to slow down!After taking a closer look, I swear directly!

Why is he here?

It was the corpse of the old Gu king!
