Chapter 732 Xiangxi Adventure (152)
After this cave, the vision in front suddenly became clear, the cave came here, there was a golden well above the head, the top of the golden well went straight to the ground, the dazzling sunlight above shone down, just hit a natural pool in the middle of the cave, this pool may have been just a pit before, because the upper side was open, thousands of years of rainwater accumulation and formation. When the cave arrived, there was no fork in the road, and Ma Chengfeng walked around this waterhole and did not find the secret door.
The water was turquoise, and there didn't seem to be any creatures in sight below. Around the waterhole, there are a total of eight human-shaped copper oil lamps, their expressions are very different, some crying and laughing, respectively, representing eight different emotions of people.
Eight human lamps enclose the waterhole in the center, and this arc is so ingenious that it is estimated that even the compass used by modern people cannot be so round. Professor Monalo said that he had been working in archaeology for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen these oil lamps.
"Teacher, these people should be from the Jin Dynasty, right? Why do Miao people use our Han lamps? You see, aren't the shapes of the lamps all from the Central Plains? Chu Tianyue held a magnifying glass and a small brush to clean up the patina on this person's lamp little by little.
"When the Sima clan unified the Later Han Dynasty, Xiangxi should still be the area where the Shu Kingdom and the Eastern Wu Kingdom were bordered before, and all the people living here were barbarian tribes, which were not called Miao at that time, if I remember correctly, the people living in Miao Mountain should call themselves dragon descendants, that is, the ancestors of the current Xiangxi Long family."
"The dragon descendants bow down to their ministers, it was Sima Yan who first gave them the Han surname, that is, the surname Long! In addition to the surname, there is also the Central Plains culture, as well as the emperor's gifts. The patriarch of the Long clan was named the king of Miao and enjoyed the gift of a prince of five cars. In my opinion, these lamps are gifts from Sima Yan to the Long family. "Professor Monalo told them about history.
In ancient times, princes and princes were allowed to have living people buried in tombs above the same age, and the "copper human lamp" seen in many ancient tombs was actually made of living figurines painted with copper paint and poured with mercury. But the eight lamps they saw were not really alive, they were solid when they clinked.
Despite this, the exquisite craftsmanship of the eight human lamps still stunned everyone. In particular, the facial expressions of the eight human lamps are simply lifelike enough to confuse the real. Eight people held the twist and wick in their left hands, knelt down on their knees, and bowed slightly, as if they were all kneeling down to this puddle.
"I recognize this formation, this is called the eight slaves kowtow, when the moonlight shines down at night, these lamps should be on, and the golden well above is also particular about feng shui, called 'sun and moon shine together', in order to sprinkle the moonlight and daylight all in this pool, so that the pool can absorb the yin and yang gas all year round." Ma Chengfeng recalled this strange feng shui recorded in the "Book of Thieves". "This is not a tomb! It is impossible for the ancient tomb to use 'the sun and the moon shine together', what the dead need is yin energy, and gathering yang energy here will make the soul of the deceased restless and unable to reincarnate when using it. ”
The four of them gathered in front of the waterhole, you said a word, no matter if what you said was reliable or not, anyway, three Zhuge Liang topped a stinker, plus there is an expert named Professor Monaro, and the analysis is not far from ten. In the end, all the questions point to the pool in the middle. It's just that they can talk a lot, but looking at the bottomless pool, no one dares to squeak one by one. Usually, Na Xi and Ma Chengfeng are seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied lords, and all the people who came were speechless.
"Well, don't look at me, you know, I don't know water, I'm a landlubber." He shook his head and said.
"Why don't you just take a breath and go down? I'm pulling you with a safety lock, and if you don't feel like you're holding your breath, or if you run into something evil down there, you pull the rope and I'll get you up. ”
"Rub, you don't come to this set, every time you encounter this kind of thing, you push me forward, why don't you go? Let's not say anyone, the people of the Northeast are all landlubbers. He scolded.
Although the people of the Northeast dare not say that they are 100% landlubbers, because there is little water in the Northeast and the summer is not too hot, even children who grow up near the water rarely play in the water. If it's okay to pierce a fierce man, a fierce man can swim as far as he can, and basically few people can ventilate. At that time, they were all poor, and who was willing to spend money to send their children to the swimming pool. Now it is clear that no matter what boundary is in the depths of the cave, what great secrets are hidden, everything is under this pool, go down or go home!
"Forget it, you two don't quarrel, let's do it, anyway, there is no longer a threat in Wuling Mountain, we can go back now and ask Boss Qiao to prepare some diving equipment for us, and come back to explore!" Professor Monalo said.
Archaeologists generally refer to the dry tombs on the ground, the tombs who are water tombs and dry tombs, and the people on the two sides of the sea used to have water tombs, and the water tombs here are not water burials. The ancients were not so conscious and scattered their ashes into the sea. A water tomb refers to a tomb that is hidden underwater. The water is just a barrier, and through the veins, the bottom is connected to the underground cavern.
As long as archaeologists come across water tombs, they must ask experienced "water rats" to help.
"No, we only have this one chance, the housewarming will never help us, maybe after knowing the secret here, he will take the lead and loot all the valuable things inside." Ma Chengfeng knows the profiteer housewarming too well. There is a premise for him to help himself, if it weren't for Qiao Xi'er's sake, people would recognize him Ma Chengfeng?
This is Xiangxi, not Kanto, and he is now the richest man in this mountain, he can have whatever he wants, and no one dares to say a word. Preventing people from getting rich is not the same as digging people's graves? Housewarming will never agree.
"Abba ...... Abba ...... "At this time, the little mute in Chu Tianyue's arms screamed a few times, and before everyone could react, the little mute broke free from her arms, didn't even take off her clothes, and jumped into the bottomless pool with a pop.
"Huh? Little mute? Ah! Broken, broken, broken! Why are you two still stunned? Go down and save people! Chu Tianyue hurriedly swirled around the water's edge, wanting to go down to save people, but he didn't know how to water.
"I said my good sister, he jumped down by himself, so you don't need to get us down again, right? Isn't that what you want from both of us? Don't worry, the little mute lives on the banks of the Tuojiang River, and it is estimated that we are strong in water-based pens. Ma Chengfeng comforted him twice. This little mute, how can he always do things for them, this kid is full of weirdness, God knows what his identity is.
