Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"Is it a rebellion?"

Uncle Tuo raised his pipe and frowned as soon as he put it to his lips.

The pipe was soaked in corpse fluid just now, and it's still sticky and emitting a corpse-like smell.

I can't smoke anymore.

Cui Hao was completely confused and couldn't help asking, "Brother, what are you talking about? Are the Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Constellations the stars in the sky?"

"It's a star in the sky."

When ancient people observed the celestial phenomena, they divided the sky into seven star regions: "Three Enclosures" and "Four Symbols".

The Three Enclosures are Ziwei Enclosure, Taiwei Enclosure and Tianshi Enclosure.

Ziweiyuan represents the imperial palace, Taiweiyuan represents the government office, and Tianshiyuan represents the street market.

Outside the Three Enclosures, the stars in the four directions of east, west, south and north are divided into four symbols.

That is: Azure Dragon in the East, Vermillion Bird in the South, White Tiger in the West, and Black Tortoise in the North.

Each symbol contains seven constellations, which together make up the twenty-eight constellations.

This is the foundation of ancient astronomy, and it has spawned many related methods such as feng shui, divination, and choosing auspicious days.

Professor Zhang said that in ancient times, when dignitaries chose tombs, they not only considered geographical feng shui, but also had to conform to astronomical phenomena.

A tomb must not only have good feng shui, but also correspond to an auspicious location in the astronomical area.

later.

I met a Feng Shui expert and learned from him the skill of observing the sky and determining the location of tombs. I determined the location of large tombs through astrology and used this skill to dig up several large tombs.

After explaining the Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Constellations to Cui Hao, Tuo Ye still couldn't figure it out.

I continued, "Usually, high platforms are built on the ground for worship, and the ladder to heaven also leads to heaven."

"But here, everything seems to be reversed. The stairway to heaven leads deep underground, leading to a platform engraved with the twenty-eight constellations, and the tomb chamber is even beneath the platform representing the starry sky."

"Thinking about it the other way around, if the platform is the starry sky, then this tomb is located outside the sky!"

"Located in the fairyland!"

"Sigh~"

Grandpa Tuo took a deep breath, as if he had realized something.

"Yeah! That's exactly what's going on. This thing is the other way around. Could it be that the so-called Black Tai Sui is..."

"What's going on? Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious!" Cui Hao urged anxiously.

Meng Jianshe also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Grandpa Tuo looked at me and said slowly, "If the earth is the sky, this Black Tai Sui is probably not a righteous god in heaven, but an evil god under the earth!"

I nodded slowly.

"After we came down, we encountered all kinds of strange snakes. There were even two giant snake heads in the tomb. The snakes are subordinates of Black Tai Sui and live underground."

"From this perspective, Black Tai Sui must also live underground, which is why Bi Gong Ji Gao built such a huge underground project."

"There are two kinds of Tai Sui in legend. One is Tai Sui Xingjun, the annual deity in heaven, and the other is a meatball-shaped Tai Sui that grows in the earth."

"I used to think that Black Tai Sui was the star god in the sky, but now it seems I was wrong. It should be more like the Tai Sui in the earth."

Cui Hao and Meng Jianshe were both stunned.

I feel like I can understand every word I say, but I don’t understand what they mean when they are put together.

Grandpa Tuo can actually follow my train of thought.

"Most of the Tai Sui in the soil are white, sometimes bluish-white or light yellow. I've seen that thing before, it's just a fleshy ball, nothing special."

"Legend has it that eating it can cure illness, dispel disasters, and prolong life, but I've never heard of anyone living past a hundred after eating it."

"The Black Tai Sui is just as you said, a black fleshy mass."

Images emerged in my mind.

Black Tai Sui looks like a black coal ball with mucus flowing out.

That look is really funny, and it can't be associated with words like ancient gods, heaven and earth living as long as each other, etc.

Bang!

There was a dull sound from inside the sarcophagus.

We were all shocked, and the four of us stared at the sarcophagus with all eight eyes.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Help me, help me!"

Cries and calls for help came from the sarcophagus.

The voice, like weeping and complaining, surrounded us with resentment.

Cui Hao immediately shrank behind me and said, "Brother, this voice sounds different from before."

I heard the difference too.

What was heard before was a woman crying for help.

But what I heard now was a male voice!

"Hey!"

Meng Jianshe was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, his upper and lower teeth made continuous clashing sounds, and his face was pale, without even a trace of blood.

He trembled and said, "Huang, Huang San, Huang San's voice!"

"what?!"

Grandpa Tuo and I exclaimed in unison.

Huang Sandu has turned into corpse fluid, how could that be his voice?

I listened carefully and paused, then tried hard to recall the characteristics of Huang San's voice.

But I only met him once, so I really can't remember what the characteristics of his voice are.

"Are you sure it's Huang San's voice?" I asked.

Meng Jianshe nodded vigorously.

"Sure, very sure!"

"Is he, is he in the coffin?"

"But, but, he just turned into water up there!"

I looked at the sarcophagus in silence.

This was the first time I had a close look at the sarcophagus since entering here.

The sarcophagus is rectangular.

It is about two meters long and a little over half a meter wide.

The surface is smooth and the stone is fine, with a line of text engraved on the coffin lid.

I tried hard to recognize the words, but I couldn't. I just felt that they looked very similar to the Black Water Script.

There are patterns carved on the sides of the sarcophagus.

I looked around and confirmed that the starting point of the pattern was on the left side.

The Nuo master and the people in luxurious clothes knelt down and the ball on the altar bestowed mucus. The divine snake used its head to hold the bowl-shaped container and gave the mucus to them.

The man in luxurious clothes drank the mucus and fell to the ground, turning into a pool of liquid. The Nuo master smiled triumphantly and put on luxurious clothes.

The pattern ends here.

It gave me chills, the pattern seemed to record a murder!

If the man in luxurious clothes was Bi Gong Ji Gao, then after drinking the mucus of Black Tai Sui, not only would he not live forever, but he would die immediately.

Then the Nuo master changed into his clothes and took his place.

At that moment, I felt like my brain was not enough.

If the pattern carved on the sarcophagus is really as I speculated, then there is something wrong with the legend left by the ancestors of the Meng family.

And there are big problems!

"Meng Jianshe!" I grabbed him by the collar.

"You! Now! Think about it!"

"Have you ever heard any legends from your family since you were a child? Especially your grandfather!"

"No, no."

"Don't answer so quickly, I'll let you think about it!"

Meng Jianshe nodded in confusion, not knowing whether he was thinking or not.

The crying from inside the sarcophagus became louder, followed by scratching and creaking sounds.

It seems that the things inside can't wait any longer.

Wants to break out of the coffin and enjoy us.

Tuoye's brows knitted into a "川" shape: "This, I'm afraid, is the final sacrifice. We really are the sacrifices!"

"Since we can't escape anyway, we might as well try to open the coffin and see what's going on."

Tuo Ye's face was full of cruelty, and all the cruelty of an old thief burst out.

I also think it’s better to give it a try.

"Meng Jianshe, have you figured it out?"

"If you can't figure it out, just open the coffin and fight!"
