Ghost Blows Out the Light

Chapter 67 Stone Steps

I said to Da Jinya: "Master Jin, don't you feel sorry for me? If I know what's special, I still need to ask you?"

Da Jinya said: "Hey, look at my mouth, I'm used to it, no matter how I say it, it's all the old-fashioned rhetoric, pretending to be a gesture, pretending to be profound, so as to make the buyer dizzy and convinced. .”

The fat man said from the side: "That's right, Lao Jin, you are really good enough, don't look at what time it is, at this moment, let's all stop talking about the big mountains, talk about one thing, say something about two, let's be honest. "

Da Jinya said yes again and again, and continued our conversation just now: "I am not an archaeologist, and I dare not be so sure about other things, but the characteristics of this Western Zhou human face are very obvious. I once had it in the Luoyang Museum. After reading the introduction, I was very impressed, so I dare to say that the stone coffin with the human face belongs to the Western Zhou Dynasty."

The biggest feature of human face carving and decoration in the Western Zhou Dynasty is that the facial lines are smooth and smooth, without gender characteristics, only the ears are larger than ordinary people, but men, women, old and young can not be seen from the face, and only the Western Zhou Dynasty in the history of China advocated Leiwen. At the bottom of the coffin, there are layers of thunder pattern decorations, which can be said to be the best proof.

In contrast, before the Western Zhou Dynasty, some cultural relics unearthed during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, many of which were equipped with facial carvings or patterns, but they all seemed vigorous and simple, not smooth enough, and had obvious gender characteristics, silkworm eyebrows, round eyes, big nose and wide mouth The one is a man, which is based on the legend of the four sides of the emperor, the human face decorations and carvings after the Han Dynasty, the facial features are more obvious, and the man has a beard on his face.

After listening to what Da Jinya said, I understood what he meant. Since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there have been human face carving and casting techniques. Only in the Western Zhou Dynasty, a strange genderless facial shape suddenly appeared. After that, aesthetics and The craftsmanship has returned to the previous style. I asked Da Jinya: "Why did this change occur in the Western Zhou Dynasty alone?"

Da Jinya said that was not clear, and he had to ask an expert. Although he could see that the face carving on the stone coffin belonged to the craftsmanship of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't tell what the reason for carving such a strange stone face was. cause and background.

I asked Da Jinya: "What does the legend about the Yellow Emperor refer to?"

This legend has been widely circulated, and most people who study history and early antiques know a thing or two. Da Jinya replied: "As the name suggests, it means that the Yellow Emperor has four faces, one for each, looking at different directions. , and there is another theory that the Yellow Emperor sent four envoys to inspect the four directions."

I said: "So that's the case, but it seems that this has nothing to do with the stone coffin in the Hades. There are five human faces on the stone coffin, and one of the coffin covers is facing upwards. Could it be that face?" The shape is related to the owner of the tomb?"

I know it’s useless to ask. The three of us are in a fog now, unable to tell the north, south, east, and west. Judging from Da Jinya’s words, we may not be able to confirm that the stone coffin and these strange tomb walls belong to the Western Zhou Dynasty. product.

Da Jinya saw that I was dubious, so he added a few words: "If we can find some tripods or places with inscriptions around here, it will be further confirmed."

The fat man asked: "Old Jin, do you still understand the inscriptions? I haven't heard you talk about it before. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. It seems that your hairstyle doesn't match the knowledge in your stomach. You really can't be judged by appearances."

Da Jinya has a big back hair, and he touches a lot of hair oil every day, and has been teased by the fat man all the time. Seeing that the fat man is talking about his hairstyle again, he remembered that his hair style has not been taken care of for a long time, so he quickly spit into the palm of his hand , wiped his hair back, bared his golden teeth and said, "I understand but I dare not take it for granted, but if I find the inscription, I can take a look and see if it is from the Western Zhou Dynasty."

The three of them discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with any ugly Yinwu. The tomb passage in front of them can be passed on both sides, but they don't know where they are connected.

I said to Da Jinya and Fatty: "We are in such an embarrassing situation now that I can't figure out where we are, but if this tomb passage is really the Western Zhou Dynasty building that Da Jinya said, then I can tell The large layout here, the ancient tombs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties are not as luxurious as those of the Tang Dynasty, but they are relatively large in scale. Blocked by a big stone wall, that thick and large stone wall is probably the outer wall of the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, some distance away from the main tomb, but I still can't figure out how it popped out of nowhere, his mother Yes, it’s really difficult to get out this time.”

The fat man said: "Old Hu, I don't think you should even think about it. This matter is beyond our comprehension. Originally, I thought that the combination of the three of us can basically settle any ancient tomb. If you have technology like yours, You need experience with Lao Jin's experience, you need strength, I'm not bragging, at least I can stand up to you two..."

Da Jinya interrupted and said: "We all lack technical experience and strength, but I think we lack brains."

The fat man said: "Old Jin, haven't you heard that Zhuge Liang is the best of three cobblers? Aren't the three of us better than the cobblers?"

I said to the fat man and the big gold tooth: "I think we don't lack technical experience and physical strength, but we still lack a goddess, a goddess of luck, our luck is too bad, we have to find a way to transfer it when we go back , let's not dawdling with this, the more I think about it, the more I am confused. If it is the ancient tomb structure of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the tomb passage on the bottom floor leads to the burial pit, and there will be no exit. I think we should go back first. Go to the Underworld on the upper floor, and then look for the exit of the robbery cave."

The fat man said: "Wait a minute, should there be some treasures in the burial pit? Why don't you drop by and pick up two pieces before going back to find the robbery cave? It's not our style to go back empty-handed, otherwise it would be a waste of work."

Da Jinya said: "Let's forget about it, fat man, you don't know how tired you are because of your thick arms, and both of my legs are filled with lead. Let's not make trouble for nothing. According to what Master Hu said, go back and find a robbery hole." Besides, this place is so weird, who can guarantee that there are no traps in this tomb passage, and it will be too late for us to regret it."

Seeing that Da Jinya and I were determined to climb back to the upper floor, the fat man had no choice but to lead two geese to go with us, and suddenly said: "Hey, let me tell you, do we have to pry open that stone coffin, see Look at the dead man over there, does he have such a weird face? Maybe there is a mask or something, if it is gold, it will be valuable."

Neither Da Jinya nor I paid attention to him. How could we be in such a mood under such circumstances. I supported Da Jinya and pushed him up to the underworld on the tomb passage, and the fat man and I also climbed up one after another.

There was no change in the Hades. The large stone coffin with the strange human face carved was still quietly parked in the corner. We turned on all three flashlights and searched for the entrance of the robbery cave on the ground.

Except for the six stone shelves for placing the six jades and the stone coffin in the corner, the entire Hades is empty, without any extra things. It is unimaginable that there is a Western Zhou period in the Hades of the Tang Dynasty. The stone coffin.

The fat man pointed to the place where we just climbed out and said: "Where is there any other exit here? Isn't the place we just climbed out of the previous robbery hole?"

I turned on the flashlight and looked down at my feet. It was indeed the first robbery hole we climbed in, but how did I jump down and it was the tomb?Before I was allowed to think about it, Da Jinya also noticed something: "Master Hu, look at the side of the stone coffin, there is an extra... step."

The fat man and I looked in the direction that the big gold tooth said, and sure enough, beside the stone coffin, there was a stone step going up without anyone noticing it. Then, I went to the bottom and looked up, and the beam of light from the flashlight was swallowed up by the darkness. There were black holes more than ten meters away, and I couldn't see the situation above.

I couldn't calm down anymore, so I said to Fatty and Big Gold Tooth: "Damn it, something has happened to this ancient tomb, the robbery hole has become a tomb passage, and the stone coffin of the Western Zhou Dynasty appeared in the Hades of the Tang tomb. Now this stone staircase pops up again. I think we have to fight it out. We will go all the way to the dark. Robbery will definitely not make it through. If this is an ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, then this staircase next to the stone coffin , should lead to the uppermost floor of the ancient tomb, where it is connected to the embedded passage, and it may be possible to get out."

The fat man said: "Then what are you waiting for? I'll go up first, and you two will follow." Before he finished speaking, he went up the stairs. After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked me: "Old Hu, what are you doing?" What did you just say? What is it for?"

Da Jinya and I also walked up the stairs, and I said to the fat man as we walked: "The inlay, to put it bluntly, is a tunnel. To build an ancient tomb, don't you have to hollow out the mountain? After the owner of the tomb was encoffined, he sealed the tunnel and buried the craftsmen and slaves who repaired the tomb alive in it. Get out of this damn place."

The three of them were talking and walking. After walking for about 5 minutes, I suddenly realized that something was wrong. When I first walked up the stone steps, I noticed that there was a crescent-shaped gap on the edge of the second stone step, which may be knocked during construction. It's lost, but every time we go up twenty or thirty steps, we will find the same crescent-shaped gap. At first, we didn't pay much attention to it, but after counting carefully, there is one every 23 steps.

This is by no means a coincidence, we were probably going around in circles, I hurriedly told Big Gold Tooth and Fatty not to go any further, I'm afraid I'd be exhausted if I climbed up like this, and I wouldn't even reach the end.

The three of them hurriedly turned to go down, but the road below seemed to have no end. They walked up and down the steps quickly and effortlessly, but they walked for a long time, far past the time we used to go up, but what did they say? I can't go back to the Hades.

The three of them were already panting from exhaustion, and Da Jinya's physical fitness was not good. At this time, he was so tired that his breathing was rough and fast, and his lung lobes were wheezing, like a broken bellows.

I saw that if I went down, I would have to let the fat man carry the big gold tooth on his back, but walking down the stone steps, carrying someone on his back, is not easy, and besides, I don’t know if I can walk back to the Hades, so walking like this is not a problem , So let Da Jinya and Fatty rest on the spot.

The fat man sat down on the ground, wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and said to me: "My God, Lao Hu, if we continue to toss like this, it will take a few hours at most, and we will starve to death in this ghost place." gone."

When we came to the Fishbone Temple, we brought a lot of food, including wine and meat, but in order to be able to hold the treasures in the ancient tomb, we also needed to bring some simple equipment for use, so we put all the food in the Fishbone Temple. Take it with you, and each person only carries a pot of water.

Although they ate and drank a meal before getting into the robbery cave, after tossing and tossing for so long, their stomachs started to thump. At this moment, when the fat man mentioned the word hungry, the stomachs of the three of them gurgled at the same time.

The current situation is even more dangerous, I rushed up the stone steps recklessly, and was trapped on the steps like a ghost circle wall, unable to reach the upper and lower ends, it is better to find another way in the Hades, it really answered what Da Jinya said earlier It's too late to regret what the fat man said.

I sighed and scolded myself for being too reckless and impulsive. If I didn't have this problem when I was in the army, I wouldn't be self-employed now. I really want to slap myself twice.

The fat man said to me: "Old Hu, it's useless to complain about yourself now. Even if we can't climb this step, we will have to be trapped in other places. Save your energy and think about whether there is any discount."

I thought for a while and said, "This step seems to repeat itself every 23 steps. It's the same up and down. No matter whether we go up or down, we can't get to the end..."

The fat man said: "That's over, this is a ghost hitting the wall, absolutely right, you can never get out, you can only be trapped here alive, and wait for the next group of people to come and collect the corpse for us."

Hearing the fat man's words, Da Jinya was filled with grief, and couldn't stop shedding two sad tears: "Pity my eighty-year-old mother, and my eighteen-year-old friend, I won't see them in this life... If I still To have a next life, I... I will die or die, I will not do this business..."

Fatty was disturbed by him, and said to Big Gold Tooth: "What's the trouble, I regret it now, what did I do long ago, I'll die like a man, cry a little more, I'll take your tooth The gold tooth will be broken off for you first."

Da Jinya regards his golden tooth as a treasure, almost as important as his hair style, and when he heard that the fat man was about to break his teeth, he quickly reached out and covered his mouth: "Fatty, I told you in advance that we are all People who are about to die, you have to leave me a whole body, don't wait for me to be too hungry to move, and take advantage of the danger to break off this golden tooth of mine."

I said to the two of them: "Stop talking nonsense, you two, what a bitch, we can't starve to death in this ghost place, it's too useless to die like this, if you want to die, you have to find a good way to die .”

The fat man said: "That's what I said, but it's not easy to die happily in this place." He pulled out his paratrooper knife and said to me: "I think there are only two ways. Roll down the stairs and fall to your death. Anyway, there is no end to the steps. Maybe the four modernizations have been realized outside. We haven’t rolled to the end yet. Another way is to cut your wrists. If you can’t get down, I’ll cut them for you two One knife, one bloodletting will not be far from death, I think this is the most joyful way."

Da Jinya said to the fat man: "When did you become so sincere, Fat Master? Didn't you hear the meaning of what Master Hu said? If I understand correctly, his subtext should be: We are not in a desperate situation yet, and we are not yet in danger." Will die." Turning his head and asking me: "Master Hu, is that what you meant just now?"

I said to Da Jinya: "What I just said was really angry, but now I seem to have found a clue. Please be quiet and let me think about it."

Seeing that I had managed to come up with some clues, Fatty and Da Jinya were afraid that they would lose this lifeline if they interfered again, so they both stopped talking at the same time, not daring to take a breath.

I said that I would come up with a solution soon, but it was just a perfunctory talk, so that the two of them would stop arguing. At this time, they calmed down. The scene was replayed in my mind like a movie, complete and complete, trying not to lose every detail.

I didn't know how long I thought about it, and I asked Da Jinya: "We are in this ancient tomb, it's like hitting a wall with ghosts, no matter which way we go, something will pop up out of nowhere, Lord Jin, you heard Have you ever had a ghost hit a wall?"

Da Jinya said: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it. There was a commotion on Di'anmen Street back then, so that people nearby didn't dare to pass there at twelve o'clock in the evening, or they would hang around until dawn." , and can’t get out of that road. I’ve heard some rumors from other places, but what we encountered shouldn’t be ghosts hitting the wall, right? I heard that ghosts hitting the wall are going around in circles. How could there be a ghost hitting the wall with multiple magic tools for body protection?"

The fat man also said: "Old Hu, you forgot, didn't you say that in a place with good Fengshui, where the wind gathers energy, there will be no ghosts that linger, and there will be no zombie dumplings. Why do you think of ghosts now?" Hitting the wall?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm not saying that we have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, but I just want to confirm that the current situation is not a ghost hitting the wall, then my analysis may be correct."

The fat man asked: "One person counts the disadvantages, and two people count the longs. Then you tell me, and Lao Jin and I will help you analyze it."

I thought about it, and said to Fatty and Big Gold Tooth: "I seem to already know what we encountered, but... I want to say it, you two, don't be afraid."
