Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Although I said I would believe it again, I was still wary in my heart.

Defenses can not do without!

If you cooperate with someone like Tuo Ye, who has a thousand ulterior motives, you might be sold out if you are not careful.

If you really believe the sincerity in his performance, you will be sold out and have to help him count the money.

Putting my notes in my pocket, I looked around.

I was so focused on looking at the large bronze standing man that I didn't pay close attention to the surroundings.

The platform is square, about 100 meters long and wide.

Standing on the edge of the platform and looking down, there is a cliff outside, and further away it is pitch black with no end in sight.

I don’t know whether this huge underground cave was formed naturally or dug by humans.

I looked up.

The sky above seemed pitch black.

Suddenly, I inexplicably thought of the round sky and square earth.

The ancients believed that the sky was round and the earth was square.

Could this platform and the dome that looks like the night sky be built to simulate the round earth and square sky?

As I was pondering, I heard a faint cry for help.

"Help."

"Save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die... wuwuwu..."

It sounds like a girl crying for help!

"elder brother!"

Cui Hao jumped three feet high like a frightened toad.

He quickly came behind me and stuck half of his head out from behind my arm to look out.

"Did you hear any crying?"

"A female voice is calling for help!"

"I'm not scared, but why is there a woman here?"

I looked at Grandpa Camel.

His expression changed again and again.

His tense masseter muscles showed that he was also very nervous.

"Stone boy, hold the butcher knife carefully. The evil spirit on the knife can be suppressed."

"Mouse, black donkey hoof and sticky rice are for you."

Grandpa Tuo took out the black donkey hooves and glutinous rice and stuffed them all into Cui Hao's hands.

Cui Hao trembled as he held the two things in his hands. He said without any confidence, "What's the use of these things?"

"I don't know either." Mr. Tuo was honest.

"I heard that these two things can ward off evil spirits. It's better to use them to protect yourself than to go unarmed."

"Then what do you use to defend yourself?" I asked curiously.

Uncle Tuo rummaged in his pocket.

He carefully took out a piece of cloth and held it in his hand as if it were a treasure.

"I use this!"

Cui Hao and I looked over curiously.

The webbing had an odd pattern, was stained with dark brown stains, and was mostly charred black.

It looks like it's been burned by fire or struck by lightning.

Grandpa Tuo said proudly, "It took me more than twenty years to make this treasure."

We were even more confused.

This tattered cloth belt and twenty years of kung fu have nothing to do with each other.

Just find some old clothes, cut them up, and then burn them.

"What the hell is this?"

"Lightning strike... cough cough, don't ask."

The more he hides it, the more curious we become.

After some questioning, Grandpa Tuo finally explained with a red face.

"It's a lightning-struck riding cloth."

"Riding cloth" was the common name for menstrual belts in ancient times.

Some people also call her "Mother Chen", and the term "aunt" is derived from her.

There is also a saying that goes, "Rode a horse to get married, and your family will be broken up and your loved ones will die."

It means that if the woman has her period at the time of marriage, it will lead to the destruction of the family.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that women's menstrual blood is fishy and foul, and men should avoid it.

Due to these reasons, in folklore, menstruation gradually came to have the function of exorcising evil spirits, and its power could compete with that of black dog blood.

As for the power of the lightning-struck riding cloth to exorcise evil spirits, it is unique and much stronger than the lightning-struck peach wood.

"What is riding cloth?" Cui Hao asked innocently.

"It's just...it's for menstruation. If you don't know, go home and ask your sister."

Cui Hao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pointed at Tuo Ye excitedly.

"Fuck!"

"A few years ago, my sister lost something after her period. Was it you, old man?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Uncle Tuo was coughing violently, and it was obvious that he was involved in this matter.

"I can't help it either."

"It's best to use unmarried girls to make lightning-strike riding nets. You'll also need to attract lightning strikes, so all you can do is set up a few more and spread them out across the ground..."

He went to great lengths to get the lightning-struck riding cloth.

Stealing every year, and being struck by lightning every year during the thunderstorm season.

I failed countless times before I finally got a perfect one.

"You old bastard!"

"You dare to steal anything!"

"shameless!"

"Yes, yes, I am a shameless old man. If you are still not satisfied, hit me twice."

Tuoye’s attitude of admitting his mistakes is extremely good.

Cui Hao clenched his fist and raised it, but when he was about to swing it, it fell down too weakly.

He muttered, "It's not that I'm afraid of you, I just don't hit the elderly, children, or women."

"If you steal again, I'll break your legs."

I knew they wouldn't fight, so I focused all my attention on listening to the crying.

The crying seemed to come from the center of the platform.

But looking around the center, there was nothing, but there were bronze men standing on all four sides of the platform.

Except for the large bronze standing figure beside him, the other three bronze figures are in a kneeling position, facing outwards and with their backs facing inwards, and seem to be holding something in their hands.

But the placement of these four bronze figures makes me feel a little strange.

It is neither in the four directions nor in the four corners, and it does not conform to the placement habits of the ancients in any way.

At this time, the Meng family father and son came over.

"We can both benefit from working together. Let's work together to find the king's tomb. Everyone will share in the benefits."

Meng Jingye started making big promises as soon as he arrived.

When Grandpa Tuo nodded to agree, I stopped him.

"and many more."

"Isn't this an altar? How come there's also the tomb of the King of Bi?"

"Haha." Meng Jingye laughed disdainfully.

"I told you the hunchback didn't know everything."

"This is both the altar and the tomb of the King of Bi State!"

"This platform was built to imitate Mount Buzhou, symbolizing the path to the immortal world. Duke Bi Ji Gao was buried inside the stone platform."

Legend has it that Mount Buzhou is the pillar supporting heaven and earth.

It is also the road from the human world to heaven.

After being defeated in the battle, Gonggong angrily crashed into Mount Buzhou, breaking the pillar that supported the heaven and earth.

This causes the sun and moon to set in the west, the earth to tilt in the east, and mountains and rivers to move and change their course.

Then the rivers rushed eastward and converged into the sea, forming the current geographical appearance.

I stroked my chin and said, "But Master Tuo said that Bi Gong Ji Gao received the slime from Black Tai Sui."

"He should be immortal, so why does he have a tomb?"

"..."

Meng Jingye glanced at Tuoye and sneered, "Of course, in order to win you over, Tuozi really said everything."

"Then I'll just say it straight."

"Duke Bi Ji Gao disappeared after consuming the mucus. The second Duke Bi suppressed the news and announced to the public that Duke Bi Ji Gao had died. A grand funeral was held here."

"Legend has it that there's mucus in the tomb, bestowed by Black Tai Sui. Drinking it will grant you immortality!"

Huhu.

A cold wind blew.

There was a sound of crying in the cold wind.

The crying was louder and sadder than before.

"The crying is getting louder again! Mr. Meng, what the hell is crying?" asked Grandpa Tuo with a stern face.

"Our ancestors only said that there were all kinds of evil things in the tomb, all of which were vengeful ghosts left behind by the Nuo master."

"If you're not careful, you'll lose your life!"

"So we have to let the older guys with stronger yang energy lead the way."

After Meng Jingye finished speaking, he looked at me, meaning that he wanted me to be the pathfinder.

But I stared at the corner of his eyes and shuddered.

There are many reflected light spots at the corners of his eyes, which look like the reflections of scales!

How could scales appear on a person's body?!
